Farming and reading family

This surprised Gao E. No matter how she talked to Lei before, Lei always decided to follow her own will and do whatever she wanted.

She felt that it was no big deal, and it was good not to feel wronged.

I never thought that one day Lei would take the initiative to say that it was not a grievance.

"There's nothing to be upset about." Lei smiled innocently. "To put it bluntly, it's just eating from the same pot, and seeing others eat an extra bite makes me feel uncomfortable."

She openly admitted her little thoughts.

Gao E laughed: "Now you don't feel anything when you see others eating more?"

"Ever since I started making money on my own, I suddenly felt that those were not a big deal. Instead of fussing about those things every day, I might as well entertain a few more customers, then I'll have money, won't I?" Lei said with a smile.

She is now full of energy every day and feels very at ease when counting the copper coins in her hand.

I thought that she was very petty in the past because she had such a small amount of money. Since my second sister-in-law had such a large dowry, she naturally didn't care about her mother-in-law's little thoughts.

"It's good that you think this way." Gao E nodded.

People naturally have a different mentality when they have money, and they don’t need anyone to teach them.

"But after being poor for a long time and then suddenly becoming rich, you must stay stable and don't lose control of it," Gao E warned.

"How can I be considered rich?" Mrs. Lei waved her hand. "My little savings are not enough to cover the rent. Besides, the third child is studying every night now, and his education costs a lot of money."

Gao E laughed. It seemed that the third child was also starting to make progress.

"Oh, right, sister-in-law." Mrs. Lei finally got down to business. "With our current business, I'm afraid the acorn starch we have at home won't be enough to last until the new acorns come in. I'm thinking about selling something else along with it."

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, we can sell mung bean jelly and some other cold dishes. We can make them and sell them without so much manpower." Gao E did not hide her feelings.

"Second sister-in-law is really knowledgeable. I would like to thank her first." Mrs. Lei was excited.

The two discussed for a while, and Lei ate something before going back to avoid having to light a fire and cook again when he got home.

As long as the Lei family wants to do something, Gao E will definitely help if she can.

She had no intention of doing these small businesses, and it was impossible for the Lei family to do big business from the beginning, but being able to be self-reliant was already good enough.

It was already late when they sent Lei away, so Gao E took Lian Xin and carried twenty pigeons to her eldest brother's house.

The old man of the Chen family was sitting in the main room drinking, with a plate of broad beans and a plate of braised liver in front of him, which tasted much better than before.

"My second brother's wife is here." It was Yang who opened the door.

She just got pregnant, and no one thought she could do nothing.

Chen Hanyue was cleaning in the kitchen. When she heard her second aunt coming, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside.

"Sister-in-law." Gao E smiled and took Lianxin into the yard.

"Dad, my son's father, my second brother's wife is here." Yang greeted them.

Chen Fansheng looked up at Gao as a greeting.

Chen Qing had just finished feeding the pigs and came over with a poke: "Come in and sit down."

"No." Gao E refused with a smile. "I heard that my sister-in-law wanted to eat pigeons, so I asked Lianxin to buy twenty and send them over."

As soon as Gao E said this, everyone in the yard fell silent.

When Chen Hanyue heard the number twenty, her eyes widened. She was her second aunt, so she was very generous.

"Do you want to eat pigeons?" Chen Qing looked at Yang.

Yang was embarrassed: "I just said it casually, who knew Hanyue would tell my second brother's wife."

Chen Qing thought about the pigeons Peng Can had recently raised, and knew that his wife was planning to take advantage of Peng Can raising those pigeons again, and he felt angry.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's normal for her to want to eat something." Gao E said magnanimously, "It's just that I asked Peng Can to raise that pigeon, Jingui. It was sent by Master Fan. I heard that it is loved by the powerful people in the capital. If it is good, it costs dozens or even hundreds of taels per pigeon. He will come to buy it later."

Chen Qing was shocked but he had no doubt that Mr. Fan was indeed from the capital and he had been very generous when collecting crickets before.

Yang was stunned. She never thought that the pigeon would be so valuable.

Gao E was not lying. Good carrier pigeons are indeed expensive.

"It's just one in a hundred with good appearance. I can only ask Peng Can to take good care of it." Gao E sighed.

"Take this pigeon back." Chen Qing said directly, "I'll buy your sister-in-law whatever she wants to eat."

"Brother, what are you talking about? I've already given it to you, how can you take it back?" Gao E pretended to be angry. "I'm busy on weekdays and can't come to take care of you often. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Chen Qing glanced at Yang and said, "You are thoughtful."

Gao E asked Lian Xin to put the pigeon cage under the eaves: "Then I will go back first. The children will be asleep soon."

"Yeah." Chen Qing walked Gao E to the door.

After seeing Gao E off, Chen Qing turned around and saw Yang rushing into the kitchen, and he hurriedly followed her.

But just as he reached the kitchen door, he saw Yang slap Han Yue on the back of the head.

"Why did you tell Second Aunt everything?" Yang looked at her daughter angrily. "You are happy to let her humiliate me like this, aren't you?"

Chen Hanyue threw the brush directly to the ground...

"Han Yue!" Chen Qing shouted suddenly.

Chen Hanyue gasped and looked at her mother with gritted teeth.

"Go to your eldest sister's house first." Chen Qing knew that his daughter had been wronged.

"You are still protecting her." Yang looked at Chen Qing angrily.

Chen Qing stared at Chen Hanyue, and Chen Hanyue had no choice but to leave the kitchen angrily and slam the door to her eldest sister's house.

"Look at what she's become now." Yang pointed outside. "She definitely won't go to Yu Ning's house, but she went to the second brother's house again. If she continues like this, I will no longer recognize her as my daughter."

Without any warning, Chen Qing slapped Yang in the face.

Yang covered her face and looked at Chen Qing in disbelief.

This was the first time that Chen Qing hit her after they got married. Even in difficult times before, Chen Qing had never hit her.

Now that life is better, Chen Qing beats her.

Chen Qing must have changed his mind.

Thinking of this, Yang immediately calmed down, and her face showed her previous timid expression again, and she didn't even dare to cry.

This slap brought her back to the past, when her mother-in-law pointed at her nose and scolded her.

Chen Qing gradually calmed down as he watched Yang's changes.

He always wanted to protect Yang.

He thought that as long as he separated Yang from others and let her live her own life, everything would be fine.

But he was wrong.

He had to admit that Yang was now an ungrateful person.

"We've been married for twenty years, and I've never hit you." Chen Qing said slowly, "But I know what you're thinking."

Yang looked at Chen Qing. Chen Qing spoke so seriously that she was a little scared.

"Ever since Yu Ning married Peng Can, you think that everything that belongs to Peng Can is yours." Chen Qing exposed Yang's thoughts.

"I didn't..." Yang said softly.

"You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and you want your sisters-in-law to listen to you. But you don't have that ability, so you have always been unwilling to do so." Chen Qing didn't listen to Yang's sophistry.

"You wanted to use your father to control your second brother's wife, but ended up forcing your father away..." Chen Qing said one thing at a time.
