Xu Zhenniang helped find three cooks, making a total of four including herself.

Ye Shian was willing to give them ten cents a day and provide them with a meal, and the women were very happy.

Just helping to cook would earn you ten coins, and a meal would be provided. Moreover, this meal not only had meat, but also white flour buns.

Those who were originally lukewarm towards Xu Zhenniang became enthusiastic after seeing her.

"Zhenniang, if you have any good cooking opportunities in the future, you must think of me."

"Yes, I can earn ten cents a day in the village without going out, and I get a meal. Where else can I find such a good thing?"

"Hey, I heard that they have meat and white flour buns for every meal."

Sun heard the discussion of the village women from a distance. She snorted coldly and walked away quickly, but was pulled back by the nosy person.

"Hey, Sun, why didn't you go to Yu's house to help?"

"Humph, I won't go even if you invite me. I advise you to stay away from their house, or you won't have a place to cry in the future."

After saying that, Sun went back home with a twisted waist. When she got home and closed the door, she started cursing angrily.

"What's so great about that? You're just showing off like you've never eaten meat before. You're the only one who has flour for steamed buns."

Da Zhuang came out of the house, pouting: "Mom, I want to eat meat too."

"All you do is eat. If you hadn't stolen their snacks, would they not have asked me for help?"

She was not happy either, smelling the delicious food wafting from Ye Shian's house every day but having to eat wild vegetables at home.

In the afternoon, the Sun family's man came back from town: "Da Zhuang, Dad is back."

Da Zhuang was disciplined by Sun at noon and behaved himself a lot. He didn't go out to play in the afternoon. When he heard that his father was back, he happily ran to Tian Fengshou.

"Dad, what delicious food did you bring? Show me now."

"Dad, I brought you the best food in the county."

"Pig head meat!"

Hearing that her husband had returned, Sun came out of the house happily. But when she heard these three words, her face immediately drooped.

"Then there's nothing else in the county, right? You have to buy this pig head, right?"

Tian Fengshou looked at his wife in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you still angry? I saw that the pig head meat bought by the boss was very good, so I thought of buying it back for you and Dazhuang to try."

Tian Fengshou worked as a groom for a family in the county town. He could come back for two days every month and earned 900 coins a month. In Changning Village, his family's income was considered high.

"Humph, if you want to eat pig head meat, do you have to go to the county town to buy it?"

Sun knew that her husband meant well, so her tone softened a lot.

"Smell it. Smell it hard."

Tian Fengshou really sniffed hard and found a meaty aroma in the air. He then looked at the oil paper bag in his hand in confusion.

It was obvious that the fragrance did not come from his hands.

He looked at his wife in confusion, and Sun rolled her eyes at him: "The pig head you bought is made by people in our village."

Tian Fengshou was surprised: "Really? How come I didn't know there was such a family in our village? Oh, that's not right. I didn't know the girl selling meat today."

"I fled here from the south and have only settled here a few days ago. Do you see that big area in the north? That's where people built houses."

Tian Fengshou naturally saw it, and that area was quite large.

"He seems to be a rich man."

Speaking of this, Sun became even angrier. She stomped her feet and turned back to the house.

Tian Fengshou guessed that something must have happened that he didn't know about, so he bent down and whispered to his son: "Tell Dad what happened."

Da Zhuang lowered his head guiltily, then raised his head again and told the story.

"Ye Shian not only refused to give me meat to eat, but also locked me out." Tian Fengshou knew that this Ye Shian should be the new family that moved in.

"Then why didn't she give you meat?" Tian Fengshou continued to ask.

Da Zhuang lowered his head, and said something else with a guilty conscience: "She only gave it to Qiao Er and Zhu Ying."

"You told Dad what happened before this?"

Da Zhuang secretly looked up at his father, then hesitantly told the truth, "Qiao'er and Zhu Ying didn't give me any snacks."

Although his son did not directly explain the matter, Tian Fengshou had a general idea of ​​it.

"You stole someone's snack, didn't you?"

Although it was a question, Tian Fengshou was sure: "Then she wouldn't let you go to her house to eat meat."

Da Zhuang pursed his lips.

Tian Fengshou sighed. His wife was a carefree person, not a bad person. She just liked to take advantage of others and was particularly protective of her child.

Tian Fengshou had a rough idea of ​​what happened next.

The son must have come back crying, and his wife went to argue with them.

He touched his son's head and said, "Let's go back to the house and eat pig's head."

Seeing that his father didn’t blame him, Da Zhuang clapped his hands happily and went into the house to eat meat.

After a busy day, Ye Shian was finally able to have a good rest at night.

Today Ye Shian was at home, while Yu Xiuying and Yinzhu went to the county town to sell pig heads. There were more than 40 people at home helping to build the house.

Looking at the river at the door, Ye Shian was thinking about how nice it would be if he could build a bridge.

But I was short of money and had to give up.

But it's just a temporary solution. If possible, she still hopes to repair the bridge this year. The bridge is too narrow and it will be very troublesome to harvest crops in the future.

Just after dinner, Yinzhu cleaned up the dishes and heard someone knocking on the door.

Yu Xiuying stood in the room and looked outside. Zhu Li came out of his room and asked, "Who?"

Tian Fengshou's voice came over: "It's me, I'm the father of Dazhuang in the front yard."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, thinking that Da Zhuang's father was here to cause trouble, so they both looked unhappy.

Yinzhu also came out of the house at this time. She now lives in the same room with her brother Zhu Li. There is a curtain in the middle of the small room.

When she heard that it was Da Zhuang's father who came, she subconsciously thought that he was here to cause trouble.

Tian Fengshou led his son into the house, smiled kindly at Yu Xiuying and Ye Shian, then patted Dazhuang on the back of the head to signal him to speak.

Da Zhuang was extremely reluctant to imitate the adults, clasping his hands together and apologizing to Yu Xiuying and Ye Shian: "I'm sorry, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have snatched their snacks."

Both mother and daughter were dumbfounded. As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to stick together. They never thought that Da Zhuang's father would be such a reasonable person.

Ye Shian coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "The person you should apologize to is Qiao'er."

Tian Fengshou smiled and said, "I have already apologized to Qiao'er. I am not at home on weekdays, so I don't know much about what is going on at home. I am sorry for causing you trouble."

Seeing the parents being so polite, Yu Xiuying felt embarrassed: "No, no, it's just a matter between children. It's normal for children to fight and quarrel."

"My wife has a bad temper, but she is very straightforward and sometimes doesn't think before she speaks. We are neighbors, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to be more tolerant in the future."
