Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Just when Yuan Laoer was processing the wild boar in the kitchen yard, the village chief came to his door.

Just now, the eldest Yuan came back carrying a tree, and the news that the third Yuan's superb craftsmanship conquered the villagers naturally reached the village chief.

The purpose of the village chief's visit this time was for the remaining soldiers in the village.

The village chief took a sip of the tea that Old Lady Liu brought him and said, "I came here this time because of the remnant soldiers in the village. The news about your eldest and third sons replacing the rafters reached me, so I thought of asking you to help fix the roof for the remnant soldiers in the village. Don't worry, those remnant soldiers will pay you for your work."

Old Lady Liu naturally agreed to this matter and said, "We will do our best to help with this matter, but there are only two of us, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

The village chief also considered this matter and waved his hand.

"It's okay. The remaining soldiers are here to defend our country. The villagers will come to help."

Old Lady Liu frowned, waved her hand and said, "There's no need to pay for the wages. We're all from the same village. Just think of it as us doing a good deed for the village."

The main problem is that it is troublesome to get the wages. They are all retired soldiers with broken limbs. Although they are usually supported by the court government and have land to farm, it seems that they get a lot of silver every month, but we also have to think about whether it is inconvenient for them to do their work and whether they have to buy food?

You may not necessarily live a more comfortable life than them.

Yuan Da, Yuan Er, and Yuan Si agreed with what my mother said. They were all defending the country for the people, so what was wrong with them helping to replace the rafters?

"Don't worry, village chief. We will help them replace the rafters after we finish our housework." Boss Yuan patted his chest.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the village chief to directly ask the Yuan family, who had just moved into the village, for help in this matter, but who can blame the fact that there are so few young and strong men in the village?

The rest were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, as well as children. No matter how much they wanted to help the disabled soldiers replace the rafters, they were powerless.

After getting the nod from the Yuan family, the village chief smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

When Old Lady Liu saw that the meal was ready, she quickly invited the village chief to stay for dinner.

The village chief waved his hand, indicating that he had to save his stomach for the feast three days later, which made Old Lady Liu laugh and cry. Could he really starve for three days?

A small incident occurred during the meal.

The reason was that the third son's wife brought back a roast chicken from somewhere.

Old Lady Liu stared, "Where did you get this chicken?"

The third son's wife's eyes were rolling around and she was stammering when she spoke.

“............Just........just...I picked it up..." He lost confidence as he spoke and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Bullshit! You picked it up, why don't you tell me you stole it from someone else? I'll give you another chance. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"

Old Lady Liu "gulped" and spat on the ground. When she looked at the third son's wife, her eyes almost popped out.

She knew the third son's wife's temper very well. Would she bring home delicious food if she found it outside?

What’s the situation now? Every household can’t afford to eat meat for a few meals. Who would throw away a whole roast chicken for no reason?

Yuan Laosan twisted his wife's arm and glared at her, "Hurry up and tell me, who gave you this roast chicken?"

The third daughter-in-law looked up at her husband, then at her furious mother-in-law, and simply broke the jar and said, "My roast chicken was given to me by my brother."

After that, he hurriedly explained, "My brother bought this roast chicken to thank the Yuan family. He said that if the Yuan family hadn't helped him out last time, he would only have one hand now."

The Yuan family listened to the explanation of the third son's wife and looked at each other. Did Zhang Tiezhu find them?

Old Lady Liu narrowed her eyes. "Didn't I tell you to break off contact with Zhang Tiezhu? Why are you hooking up with him again?"

"...I...I saw that my brother had turned over a new leaf. He even bought a roast chicken to thank the Yuan family. He also found a job in town and said he would never gamble again."

A dog will always eat shit. The Yuan family would not believe a word the third son’s wife said.

Besides, finding a job doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good job.

"Take this roast chicken back. Since you signed and sealed your agreement to sever all ties, we won't eat this chicken." Old Lady Liu said expressionlessly.

The third son's wife was anxious. There was no reason to return the roast chicken. Besides, her brother bought it for her. Giving it to the Yuan family was just a casual thing.

"Mom, this is not good. My brother has left and I don't know where he lives."

Old Lady Liu glared, "Then just throw it away."

No matter what, they would never eat the roast chicken bought by the blood-sucking worm. If they ate the roast chicken today, who knows what trouble it would cause them tomorrow.

Seeing that her mother-in-law insisted, the third daughter-in-law pursed her lips, took the roast chicken and went out. She squatted in the corner of the house and ate the roast chicken.

The Yuan family became busy again in the afternoon.

The Lu family was coming to dinner at home in the evening, so Shen Chulan had already put the pig offal in the pot and started braising it. The smell was so good that the whole village was filled with the aroma of the braised food. The villagers who smelled it stopped in their tracks.

"Who made this delicious food? It smells so good!"

"I've smelled this smell in restaurants in town before. It's the smell of stewed meat, but I don't know what's in it."

"No, who made this delicious food? Isn't this trying to seduce us?"

The villagers followed the smell and came to the door of Yuan's house.

When Old Lady Liu went out with Yaoyao in her arms, she saw the villagers standing on tiptoe and looking around in the yard. She was almost frightened and almost thought that something had happened at home that attracted the villagers to come and check.

Seeing Old Lady Liu coming out of the yard, the villagers touched their noses embarrassedly. They were just greedy. Who told the Yuan family to cook such delicious food?

"What are you doing..." asked Old Lady Liu.

"Nothing, I just thought your cooking smelled so good, I wanted to come and see what you were making."

Hearing this, Old Lady Liu smiled and said, "Isn't this preparation for the banquet three days later? My second son hunted a wild boar in the mountains and brought it back. Not long after the boar was put into the water, my second daughter-in-law put it in the pot and braised it."

The villagers were shocked to hear what Old Lady Liu said casually. The Yuan family was really generous. They even brought a wild boar for the banquet.
