"It's difficult to raise people like you at home. How can I have the spare time and food to raise chickens?"

Mrs. Li was unwilling, frowning with displeasure written all over her face: "Besides, our chickens are enough."

"But apart from my husband, I have to think more about Ruochen and Ruochuan. They say that a young man can only live in poverty. But when they are still growing, one egg a day is indispensable."

Mrs. Li was slightly moved, but she still didn't let go: "The life at home is much better now than before."

"But if there are too many eggs, not only can people eat them, but we can also sell them, right? When we make pancakes, we also need eggs."

Mrs. Li thought about it and realized that Gu Jingcheng would take the exam in Fucheng in three months.

It's a matter of money. If you raise a few more chickens and lay eggs, it can be regarded as an extra income...

She pursed her lips slightly.

"Okay, then you can buy some chickens and raise them, and follow your second sister-in-law. Her house sells chickens."

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, took out another few dozen coins from her purse and handed it to Su Xiaomu, saying: "Don't buy too much, we will lose money if you die."

"Okay, then I'll go find my second sister-in-law now."

With Li's permission, Su Xiaomu immediately went to find Chen.

When she heard that Ms. Li was actually willing to pay to raise more chickens, Mr. Chen didn't believe it at first.

But after seeing Su Xiaomu take out the money, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "I have been persuading my mother for so long, but she is reluctant to give up the food to raise more chickens to lay eggs. Why is she relenting now?"

"We will need a lot of eggs in our next business."

Mrs. Chen also knew that Mrs. Li asked her to take money to buy chickens at her parents' house to take care of her parents' business. She gave Gu Ruotong the unfinished embroidered handkerchief and invited Su Xiaomu to go to her parents' house.

It turns out that Su Xiaomu has always known about the Yin family and Chen family.

However, I think their conditions are pretty good, otherwise Li, a person who is not easy to get along with and has a rich scholar to support, would not be able to let them marry in so easily.

The Chen family's house is not very far from the Gu family, about a little closer to the end of the village.

Their home is close to the river. When Su Xiaomu and Chen passed by, they happened to see Chen's eldest brother fetching water by the river.

Before she could step forward to say hello, Chen suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered, "I have to tell you something, please don't let it slip later."

Su Xiaomu was suddenly pulled by Mrs. Chen, and she still didn't react.

"Ah? Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Could it be that there are still some taboos in her natal family this time?

"It's nothing serious. It's just that my mother Qian warned me not to let people in the village know that our family is doing business, so if I ask about it later, I'll just say it's to replenish my uncle's health."

Mrs. Chen said she wanted to hide things from her mother's family, and the look on her face was not shy at all.

"Anyway, Third Uncle spends a lot of money, so everyone in the village will believe what he says."

Su Xiaomu: "..."

Gu Jingcheng is a gold-eating beast. Can this really be said?

She obediently followed Mrs. Chen and called her big brother, then followed her into the yard and bought some chickens.

Brother Chen was also generous. When he heard that Mrs. Chen wanted to buy chickens to replenish Gu Jingcheng's health, he immediately gave them five more chickens with a wave of his hand, and also gave them half a pound of corn kernels to add to their health.

"Tell your mother-in-law that she should boil two eggs for Ruochuan Ruochen every day. A nanny can't think about his son, right?"

Brother Chen took the money and felt sorry for riding his own girl.

"If you don't have a good life at his house, come back quickly and tell me, why can't I support you as a woman?"

"In front of Xiaomu, what did you say?"

Mrs. Chen didn't expect that her brother would suddenly support her, and her face turned red with discomfort.

Then she caught a glimpse of Su Xiaomu standing nearby with a smile on her face, and she stamped her feet in embarrassment: "I have to go."

"Just go and bring some food back. Your sister-in-law has prepared it for you a long time ago. She also said she would deliver it to you in two days."

Brother Chen handed the packed dried vegetables to Mr. Chen, who cheerfully grabbed a handful of dried wild vegetables and stuffed them into Su Xiaomu.

"Her third younger brother and sister, don't be polite either."

The two people originally came to buy chickens, but they didn't expect that in the end, besides the chickens, they also carried a lot of things in their hands and walked back.

Su Xiaomu saw that Chen's face was a little uncomfortable along the way. She couldn't help teasing her and said, "I didn't expect that the second sister-in-law's elder brother is quite nice to the second sister-in-law."

"As an older brother, you will take care of your younger siblings to some extent, but I also like my sister-in-law. She is a good person."

Ms. Chen put up the bamboo cage in her hand and was about to discuss with Su Xiaomu who would raise the chickens when suddenly several people blocked them in front of them.

Su Xiaomu took a closer look and saw that he was still an acquaintance.

"I said to the old Gu family, your family has been living a good life recently. You go to the city every day, go to Lao Niu to buy tofu, and now you go back to your parents' house to buy chickens. What, your scholar is back?

"

A strange face stood next to Aunt Zhao.

She was now eating melon seeds while looking at the chickens in their bamboo cage with disdain: "With so many chickens raised in the yard, I'm not afraid that all of you will smell like chicken shit.

You said you already have a scholar in your family, why are you still so bad at living? It doesn’t matter if you stink, but you can’t let the scholar smell like chicken shit."

As soon as she finished saying this, Aunt Zhao started to become happy as well.

She laughed heartily, covered her nose deliberately and said, "Why do I feel like it's starting to stink now? If your scholar smells too much chicken shit, he won't be able to pass the exam, right?"

"I see you just ate chicken shit and spit it out in your mouth. A dog can't say anything good."

After hearing what the two of them said, Su Xiaomu felt that it was too much.

She had a lot of curse words in her stomach, but before she could speak, Mrs. Chen angrily stood in front of her with her hands on her hips and cursed.

"You said my third uncle couldn't pass the exam. Why don't you look at your son? He's seven or eight years old and can't read. From now on, he's just going to follow his father in the fields."

"What happened to Shimoda? What happened to Shimodian?"

Aunt Chen next to Aunt Zhao jumped angrily as if she had been stabbed in a sore spot.

"Why don't farmers go to the fields? I want to learn from your family's studies? The whole family's hopes are placed on your third son, and he hasn't gotten a good name in the examination? I think your family will regret it later."

"you do not say."

Aunt Zhao was pouring oil next to her, "Leave everything to him. If you can't pass the exam, all those things will be in vain."

"My third uncle will definitely pass the exam. As for you, you don't have much else besides your mouth. Look at your usual ugly faces. At first glance, you will look like this at most in your life.

"

Mrs. Chen was angry and complained, but she didn't forget that Su Xiaomu was standing next to her.

She grabbed Su Xiaomu's arm, gritted her teeth and said to Aunt Zhao: "Look what he looks like, look at your daughter's nose and eyes, she still wants to marry my third uncle.

It’s really a toad that wants to eat swan meat, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror too much.”

"you!"

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she pointed at Mrs. Chen and was speechless for a while.

Su Xiaomu was confused.
