Ms. Jiang Liu stared at her daughter disapprovingly: "Yu Kun is not my biological child, how can I say that?"
"Then what should he do?" Jiang Yunniang asked, pretending not to care.
When she found out that her son was plotting against her and her parents' family together with his father, she was completely heartbroken by that son.
As expected of being a father and son, they even think the same way.
He worked hard to raise several children and worked hard for that family, but in the eyes of his son, it was worthless.
Yu Kun actually felt that whether he spent his father's money on food and clothing had nothing to do with his mother. Her mother should not care about his father's concubinage, let alone bring the matter to his uncles. Not only did this make his father unable to
He couldn't raise his face even at his uncle's house.
Ms. Jiang Liu: "Please let him learn to grow some mushrooms. It's better than setting up a stall."
Jiang Yunniang said calmly: "Where to plant it? Our courtyard is only about the size of a palm. Let alone growing mushrooms, if more people come in, they won't be able to turn around."
"Don't we have any land over there in Zhangjiacun? Just build a mushroom shed," Old Man Jiang said.
Jiang Yunniang: "Zhang Jia sold his land to his elder brother a long time ago. The old house was also in a state of dilapidation. Moreover, Yu Kun grew up in the county town and has no knowledge of farming."
She once persuaded her eldest son to go back to her hometown and learn to grow mushrooms from her uncles, but he refused.
Yukun thought that since he was not from the county town, he would be ridiculed if he returned to his hometown to farm.
Old Man Jiang said angrily: "That won't work either way. That's fine, then let's set up a stall."
After that, he stood up and left.
If Adou really couldn't help him, would he tell her that it would be useless in heaven!
Dasheng shouldn't let them set up a stall next to the shop, as it might cause a lot of trouble in the future.
In the morning, Jiang Dalang set up two or three banquets at home, one to entertain Cui Zhaochen and others, and the other to prepare something delicious when his sister and her family came back.
Cui Zhaochen asked for company at the table, so Jiang Dalang invited Patriarch Chen, Chen Sanyou, Chen Changsheng, and two masters from the school to come over.
Adding in my three brothers and my father, there are exactly ten people.
Yingbao walked to the same table with several children. While eating the deep-fried rice dumplings made by her second uncle, she looked at the three-year-old Zhang Xiaolang.
The little baby leaned close to Zhang Yuying, cautious and timid.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuying took good care of him, picking up vegetables for him from time to time, and wiping his legs and mouth with a handkerchief.
And Xiao Chengyu is just a little overlord, who can compete with the former Wei Zhan.
The little guy not only competed with the little demon for food, but also tried to squeeze away Wei Zhan from Yingbao's side to monopolize that position.
But Wei Zhan refused to give in and fought with him to the end. He was as steady as an old dog walking beside Ying Bao.
Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and Hu Zi were not honest when eating. If I slapped him, he would bump into me. Otherwise, they would use chopsticks as swords and attack each other by beating them.
During the fun, the meal was finally finished and the children went home.
Wei Zhan still followed Hu Zi to his house to sleep. Xiao Chengyu also followed after seeing this. No matter how hard Cui Zhaochen tried to coerce him, he refused to look back.
The men's table was not over yet. They drank and chatted until the end of the day.
The little demon had already fallen asleep on the bamboo bed, so Jiang Cheng picked him up and took him and the clan leader back to Chen Zhu's house.
After Yingbao washed up, she went back to the house to sort out the six boxes.
First, take the one hundred and fifty taels of gold ingots into the cave. Keep some of the silver ornaments and silk cloths for yourself, and give the rest to Aniang for safekeeping.
There were several sets of ready-made clothes in the box, as well as several pairs of shoes and footwear. The colors and materials were all of the same quality, so they were paid by the Xiao family to themselves.
The rest include some wine and seeds, various toys, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, as well as pastries and candies.
In the list given by Yingbao, half of the items at the top are true and false, which is the most authentic.
Is that acting king really a good person? He actually asked the Xiao family to pay him a good gift.
Hehe, did you make a fortune that time?
Ru Ming Ying Bao already has three hundred taels of gold stored in the cave, more than two thousand taels of silver, and a large basket of copper coins.
There are also forty or fifty pieces of silk and satin, several pairs of exquisite silver headdresses, and a bunch of beads and flowers.
It is estimated that there is no richer young lady than her in the entire Qinchuan County.
Ying Bao secretly felt proud and took the golden ear and snow ear out of the cave.
The mushrooms have been dried, and there are a total of forty catties of gold fungus and forty catties of snow fungus.
The mushrooms in the cave can mature once a month regardless of the cold or heat.
After harvesting, it is directly dried in the cave. It takes more than ten days to completely dehydrate and dry. The drying speed is much slower than leaving it exposed to the sun in the east.
The only advantage is that the mushrooms picked from the East will not rot or become moldy if kept in the cave for a long time.
This is not only true for mushrooms, but also for other crops such as food, so Yingbao always keeps some cooked food in the cave for emergencies.
The next day will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Everyone started making hibiscus cakes.
The hibiscus cake is filled with pine nut cakes and caramel, which is most popular among children.
The Jiang family will be the busiest next year, because there are too many children and they are very naughty. They often hula all the way to this place, and hula all the time, attracting the children from the same village to run along with them.
Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu were so happy that they went to the pond to catch fish and shrimps with Jiang Jie, Jiang Wuhuzi, and then went to the bamboo forest to scatter millet and catch birds.
Yingbao didn't go anywhere, she just stayed in the house reading and writing. She took the time to practice Yubu once, just to exercise.
"Ying Bao! Ying Bao!" Chen Zhao took his little brother Xu Bao to play with Ying Bao.
Yingbao had to put down the books, run out of the house, let them go to the stone table on the east side of the grape trellis, and brought out some jujube and chestnut cakes to entertain them.
Chen Zhao asked his little brother to eat the dates by himself and shut up with Ying Bao: "His eldest sister is back."
Yingbao blinked: "Yeah."
Chen Changping passed the scholar examination next year, so he naturally asked to buy Chen Wan back, otherwise his reputation would be affected.
Strangely enough, shouldn't Chen Changping have been admitted to the scholar examination a few years later? He passed the examination at that time, and I don't know if it would have been a disadvantage to his family.
Chen Zhao added: "Ah Nai begged the eldest sister to tell her, but the eldest sister didn't want to."
Yingbao nodded to express understanding.
These sisters were not abused by Mr. Han, but their confinement was actually not bad. As long as they worked diligently, Mrs. Chen Feng would not beat or scold her granddaughter.
"But grandma said that if the eldest sister doesn't get married early, it will affect her and her brother's future."
Chen Zhao didn't want his eldest sister to marry young at all, because after his mother passed away, he was all alone with no one to shut up, like an orphan.
My younger brother is very young and doesn’t understand anything. He only knows how to eat every month, and then he crawls around everywhere, making himself dirty and annoying.
Fortunately, the eldest sister is back. Although she is a lot silent, she and her younger brother are very gentle and take the initiative to help the family with laundry and cooking.
She didn't understand why her elder sister's future would be affected if she didn't get married early.
Yingbao looked at Xubao silently, watching him finish eating dates and chestnut cakes, stuffing his mouth full, and playing with the dirt on the ground with his dirty calves.
Chen Zhao continued to ramble: "There are often matchmakers coming to our house in recent times. Not only do they serve as matchmakers for my eldest sister, they also want to be matchmakers for my father. I guess, Yingbao, which family did the matchmaker tell his father about?"
"Which one?" Yingbao asked casually.
Chen Zhao looked disdainful: "No, Chu Man, the daughter of the village chief of Chujia Village!"
