After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"What? She's invited everyone in our village. She just wants everyone to come to town to show her support. Do you really think you're special?"

Old Mrs. Lin looked at her second daughter-in-law with disdain, her eyes narrowed.

But we can't let her get too close to Shen Yunwan, otherwise she will be possessed and out of control.

"Mom, so many people were invited, why didn't you?

You didn't even have a polite invitation, yet you insisted on going. You're the only one like me in Lotus Town."

"Jiang Xiaofang, you are rebelling! You even dare to make up stories about me!" Old Mrs. Lin yelled in anger.

Jiang Xiaofang reflexively knelt down and then patted herself.

Why should she kneel? It was obviously this old witch who despised her first.

She can criticize others, but she can't allow others to criticize her. How can this be justified?!

Besides, she has a promising son, and Yun Wan has forgiven her, so maybe she can even get a job.

snort!

"I'm just telling the truth. Mother can't let people tell the truth."

"you!"

When Jiang Xiaofang saw that Old Lady Lin had raised the meat-cutting knife, she immediately left the kitchen.

"Don't even think about eating tonight!" Old Mrs. Lin shouted angrily.

If you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat. If she doesn’t let you eat, does that mean you really won’t eat?

What are you thinking about? !

Jiang Xiaofang had already planned to go to the kitchen to steal some food later in the evening. She would rather starve herself than let anyone else starve.

Lin Xiangdong heard the sound and just walked out of the bedroom, she saw her mother running out.

This was the first time he saw his mother make his grandmother so angry.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a stroll in the village. Dong'er, I won't be eating later, so you must save some food for me!"

Lin Xiangdong looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly.

At night, Jiang Xiaofang finally got to eat meat as she wished.

It was left for her by Lin Xiangdong. For the sake of her eldest grandson, Old Lady Lin did not make any more trouble.

……

"Dong'er, are you all going to wear the red dress tomorrow?"

As soon as Lin Xiangdong brought it back, Jiang Xiaofang washed it for him.

"Yes, that's our Ke Lai'an work clothes. My aunt asked a clothing store to make them."

Jiang Xiaofang returned to her bedroom and pulled out the red dress she had been reluctant to wear. Although the style wasn't the same, at first glance, it looked similar to their work clothes. At least it was the same color.

This was made when she got married. She usually didn't want to wear it and would take it out to dry every year to prevent it from being eaten by insects and ants.

"What are you doing? Are you going to wear this red dress tomorrow? It's not your opening, why are you showing off?"

When Lin Chenghai returned to his room and saw Jiang Xiaofang taking out the clothes from the bottom of the box, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

It's not a shop opened by their Lin family. The eldest brother has cut off ties with the family. The better the eldest brother's family does, the more of a joke their Lin family will appear.

"How are you showing off? This shows how much I value Dong'er!

Tomorrow is his first day as the boss. As his mother, shouldn't I be happy for him? Who are you showing this sullen face to?"

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you." Lin Chenghai is an introverted person and doesn't talk much usually. Now Jiang Xiaofang seems to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians and is confronting everyone she meets, so he can't argue with her anymore.

But he also didn't want to be mean to her. Now that Lin Xiangdong had grown up and was in charge, the old man, who had been strong for decades, had softened his stance and always took Lin Xiangdong's opinions into consideration.

How could he, as a father, go against his son?

As for Jiang Xiaofang, if you can't win the argument, just hide away. She is your wife after all.

"Oh, why is it a little tight?" Jiang Xiaofang felt uncomfortable everywhere when she put on her old wedding dress.

"Could it be that the clothes have shrunk?!"

"Why don't you say that you've gained weight?" Lin Chenghai glanced at "Hongzhuzi".

"How could I be fat? I've never had a full meal in all these years!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofang began to recall the past.

Lin Chenghai pulled the quilt over his head, so he could neither see nor hear anything, and let her do whatever she wanted.

Years of hard work have given Lin Chenghai a good sleep quality.

After a while, regular snoring sounds were heard.

Jiang Xiaofang glanced at the man on the bed with disdain and gestured with the clothes for a long time.

Finally, she had an idea and picked up the scissors to loosen the stitches at her waist, and she felt much more comfortable.

After finishing all this, Jiang Xiaofang went to bed contentedly.

The seventh day of the New Year was sunny.

There was only a hint of morning light in the sky, but the entire Ping'an Village was bustling with activity.

"Hurry and get dressed."

"Mom, I want to sleep a little longer."

"If you sleep any longer, you won't have any noodle soup."

The four little ones all got up and put on their clothes and shoes by themselves.

There aren't so many free noodle soups in Kelai'an. It must be first come first served.

There is nothing to do at home. Almost all the villagers have gone out, and I can't find anyone to chat with.

At this moment, the guys at Kelian were already ready.

Shen Yunwan used the fourth floor as a temporary residence for her family in town and also as a residence for the servants.

So, Shen Yunwan and her friends moved to the town last night.

Even Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, the noodle soup chef, and Xiulan came to town early, saying they would stay overnight, but in fact they were busy almost from midnight.

Master Jiang and his family prepared the soup base and several hundred kilograms of noodles.

When Master Jiang first heard that several hundred kilograms of noodles were needed, he was against it. He felt that so much noodles was not needed at all.

But Shen Yunwan paid the money for noodles and the wages for his family of three in advance.

He had nothing to object to. Anyone who had the chance to make money was a fool.

To make so much noodles, he gathered his clansmen to help him make them before the New Year.

He was afraid that he would be too busy, so he asked his nephew to come and help when the business opened tomorrow.

Together with his family of three and the guys arranged by Shen Yunwan, they should be able to handle it.

……

On the second day, as the sun was fully exposed to everyone's sight.

"Open!" Shen Yunwan's penetrating voice rang out, and Kelai'an's door slowly opened.

Seeing the customers outside, dozens of them bowed 90 degrees.

The customer who wanted to rush in just stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

Many of them were rough men who worked in the fields or did manual labor, and had never been bowed to by so many people.

They were a little flattered and overwhelmed.

"Happy New Year, everyone! I am Shen Yunwan, the owner of Kelai'an, and behind me are the manager and the staff of Kelai'an.

Today is the grand opening of Kelai'an. Thank you for coming here early in the morning. You can earn points by shopping or dining at Kelai'an.

She held up a small piece of paper. "This is it. For every ounce of silver you spend, you'll get a card with the Kelai'an logo printed on it. Collect ten of these cards and you can spend them at Kelai'an as if they were ounces of silver. You can use them to purchase anything, but you can't exchange them for cash."

At this time, discussions broke out among the crowd.

It can also be used as silver. This paper is quite valuable.

Some smart people started to arrange for several families to save up cards together, so that when they had saved enough, they could spend the one or two taels of silver together at Ke Lai'an.
