Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Chi Yue said, "Who would disagree with something that's beneficial?"

Wen Tang thought about it and agreed.

"What can we do to exchange for money?"

"We're short of everything right now, especially food, but neither of us knows anything about agricultural production."

Let's start with what we both know!

"Want me to make a face mask?"

Chi Yue nodded, "Okay, sell them to those wealthy ladies."

“However, this requires sterile production, and we…” Chi Yue looked at the bare house, and Wen Tang understood without her saying the rest.

They don't have that option right now.

"Then... soap, that's the simplest, and the requirements aren't that high."

"I think it's feasible."

The two looked at each other, and their eyes met in acknowledgment.

"If we do this, and they ask us how we do it, what should we say?" Chi Yue asked.

“Don’t try to succeed at first. Once you succeed and can sell it, just say you saw it in a book. As for which book, it’s long gone. You were just doing it for fun and never intended to succeed,” Wen Tang said.

"Okay, let's do it."

"Once we make money, we'll build a big house, and we'll use the toilet inside, squatting instead of that leaky toilet."

"Uh-huh!"

“They still eat braised pork every day, it’s all meat and no potatoes, I don’t like it,” Wen Tang said again.

“Mm,” Chi Yue responded again.

They were right; the rain was still falling the next day.

Their grand plan to make a fortune could only be delayed for one more day.

On the third day, it was finally a sunny day. After taking a nap, Wen Tang and Chi Yue first washed their clothes, then had lunch, and then went out together.

As Zhong Meixian watched the two leave, she kept sighing, "Sigh, sigh..."

Gu Jinfeng couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "Mother, stop sighing. Your sighing makes me feel like I won't live much longer."

Zhong Meixian said, "I don't care whether you live long or not, but I don't think I'm going to live long."

"We have to eat meat every few days, how can anyone stand that?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinfeng added, "They not only eat meat, but also snacks!"

Zhong Meixian "..."

I don't want to live anymore.

“You didn’t even say a word,” Zhong Meixian began to criticize Gu Jinfeng.

Gu Jinfeng objected, "How come I'm the one who didn't say a word?"

Why don't you mention your sister-in-law?

"Since her sister-in-law is an elder, shouldn't she set a good example for Xiaoyue?"

Zhong Meixian objected, "That's your brother's wife. Do you want to destroy your brother's family?"

Gu Jinfeng "..."

The mother and daughter were at an impasse when Gu Jin came over carrying a basket of cabbages.

Upon seeing Gu Jin, Gu Jinfeng stood up and said, "Auntie, you're here. I'll go get you a stool."

Gu Jinfeng quickly brought over a stool and was about to pour water when she stopped her, saying, "I'm not thirsty, I just came from home."

She put down the basket in her hand. "I just wanted to bring you a basket of these bok choy. The rain has made them grow beautifully these past two days. I picked a basketful for you to try."

"It tastes great whether you put it in noodles or soup."

"I can't finish it all by myself."

Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, are you still eating alone?"

Gu Jin nodded, her face now devoid of any sadness.

"Yeah, I'll still eat alone."

"Eating alone is so much fun!"

“Xu Huaishan did mention wanting to team up with me, but I’m not interested.”

"I finally got to live a comfortable life, and now I'm going to serve him. He's really pleased with himself."

Gu Jinfeng became curious and asked, "Why didn't Uncle eat with Ancheng and the others?"

Speaking of this, Gu Jin scoffed, his worldly-wise eyes filled with countless taunts. "Back when my three daughters-in-law and I did all the housework, the four of them got along very well, and none of them ever said a word against each other."

"But ever since the three daughters-in-law stopped wanting to take on all the chores themselves every day, the three brothers have become unhappy about cooking every day!"

"Especially since we've been on break lately!"

"Xu Huaishan just sits around eating whatever's handed to him all day, which makes his three sons unhappy. They say he doesn't do any work."

"Xu Huaishan was naturally unwilling to accept these words, so he scolded the three unfilial sons, but the three unfilial sons were also unwilling."

"No one is cooking, and all four of us are starving."

“Then Xu Huaishan came to me and said that a tree grows big and branches out, and sons grow up and separate from their families. I’ve already separated, so let’s just separate this family as well, and then he will live with me.”

"Does he really think I'm stupid?"

Gu Jinfeng asked curiously, "Then what did you tell Uncle, Aunt?"

"I said he's dreaming, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He's ugly, but his dreams are ridiculous."

"When I arrived, the four of them were arguing again."

"The third brother says the eldest brother is lazy and never cooks. The eldest brother says his dad is lazy, tsk tsk," Gu Jin said, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Gu Jin is becoming more and more lucid every day.

She was becoming increasingly comfortable living alone, and no matter what anyone said, she would never get back on Xu Huaishan's pirate ship.

The Xu family, Xu Anming and his son Xu Huaishan are indeed still arguing.

Xu Anming reiterated, "If it doesn't work out, then separate the family. Stop arguing all the time."

Hearing this, Zhang Fen was displeased. "Your children are all grown up now, and then you'll have to separate the family."

But this time, Xu Ancheng grabbed her hand, preventing her from continuing.

"Then let's divide it up. Call Uncle and the others over. Let them take care of dividing up these things in the house!"

Xu Anming probably didn't expect Xu Ancheng to agree as well, so he looked at his second brother, Xu Ansheng.

Xu Ansheng simply said, "I'll go with you."

“Then I’ll go find someone,” Xu Ancheng said as he went out.

He contacted some relatives on his own side and also went to the Gu family to find Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng.

Gu Juyuan was the maternal uncle of the Gu family. As the saying goes, "the maternal uncle is the most important person in the family," and Gu Juyuan was also in the same production brigade. For such an important event as the division of the family property among the brothers, he, as their maternal uncle, should have been present.

Lin Liansheng was his brother-in-law and lived nearby, so when Gu Juyuan was invited, Lin Liansheng was naturally invited as well.

However, when Xu Ancheng arrived at the Gu family home, neither Gu Juyuan nor Lin Liansheng were home.

Gu Jinfeng asked, "Ancheng, why are you looking for your uncle at this time?"

Although Xu Ancheng was embarrassed, he still said, "My eldest brother said he wanted to divide the family property, and my second brother and I also felt that it was appropriate to divide it, so we came to ask my eldest uncle and eldest sister's husband to be our witnesses."

"They really...really separated?"

Xu Ancheng nodded.

Her gaze fell on Gu Jin, who was sitting there, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Mother, are you going back to see her?"

Gu Jin shook his head without looking up. "I'm not going back. My things have already been divided up. You brothers can decide what to do with the rest!"

"Then I'll go find my uncle and the others."

Not long after Xu Ancheng left, Wen Tang and Chi Yue returned on their bicycles, carrying a piece of pork fat.

Zhong Meixian looked at the large piece of pork fat and slapped her thigh, "Didn't we just have braised pork a couple of days ago?"

Wen Tang nodded. "That's right, it's not for eating."

"Refining oil?"

"There's still half a jar at home, isn't there? We can't finish it if we refine more!"

"No, I have a use for it!"
