Chapter 58

Qianzuo sent Doctor Cao away, the guy who brought rice, flour, meat and vegetables from Houjiao County came. Some people came here with him, and some people who came to ask for money for those beds.

The Cheng family looked at the half-small pork, ten chickens and ducks, several large grass carp, a basket of vegetables, a bag of rice and a bag of white flour, and they all felt so distressed that their faces couldn't hold back.

Some good neighbors deliberately came to watch the fun, "Oh, Yanping, your family is really amazing. They usually look at them, but as soon as this in-laws came to the door, we all immediately looked at each other. So much meat, it costs a lot of money, right?"

Cheng Zhou was so angry that his mouth turned pale. Just half a fan of pork would cost at least one tael of silver. Besides the chicken, duck, fish, and fine rice and white flour, it would cost at least one tael of silver!

Li looked at Cheng Zhou's heartache, and somehow she felt a little happy. If this was done before, she would definitely feel so heartbroken that she would have been so distressed that she would have been thrusting. After all, the money of the Cheng family would belong to their second wife in the future.

But now she doesn't think so.

After all, these two old guys in the Cheng family are less than forty years old, so who knows how long they can live? So it’s hard to say who the money will be in the end. It’s better to eat and drink now and make a profit for yourself.

While no one noticed her, Li sneaked out of the Cheng family and headed to her parents' house.

She had to bring her son back and let him eat some good food.

The guy who delivered the food and meat and the guy who asked for the bed money waited in the yard for a while, but no one seemed to be asking for money. So he smiled and said, "All things have been delivered. Please, who cares about the money bag to settle the bill. We are still rushing back to hand in the service."

Cheng Zhou really wanted to ask whoever ordered the money for the things he ordered, but Cheng Xiyu kept pulling her clothes behind her back, "Mom, give the money first, don't make people laugh."

Thinking of Old Man Cheng's desire to save face, Cheng Zhou had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, so he asked, "How much is the money?"

"Min is one or two cents."

"Min is two taels and five cents."

Cheng Zhou's eyelids twitched, and he threw a word and waited, turning his head and putting his head in the house.

Old Man Cheng could hear everything outside clearly. When he saw her coming in, he burst into tears and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you crying!"

Cheng Zhou gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Why are you crying? It's only one day, and ten taels of silver are gone. Ten taels, our family has used it for a year."

Old Man Cheng felt distressed, but things were already like this, so now I can only comfort myself to spend money to buy peace.

"After it, they only spent more than three taels of money, and the rest were the money for me to get medicine. Why, I have worked hard for half my life, but I can't take a tonic for more than six taels of silver?"

When Cheng Zhou heard him say this, he felt less uncomfortable. He sighed, turned around and snatched the corner of the wall for a while, and pulled out a box from the ground, opened the lock on the box, which contained several silver dollars, some scattered silver and copper plates.

This is the Cheng family's entire possessions, and the total amount is less than 100 taels. It was saved by the Cheng family for many years. But after returning from Su's family, the speed of spending money was like flowing water. She was so anxious that she was desperate, but she had no choice.

After taking out more than three taels of broken silver, he buried the box back. Cheng Zhou went out with the silver and paid it to the two friends.

The guy took the money and left happily.

The neighbors smacked their tongues and said that they had underestimated the Cheng family before.

It’s not a small amount of money for anyone to spend more than three taels of money.

Cheng Zhou was upset and asked Cheng Lianxiang and Cheng Xiyu to close the door, but he went back to the room to lie down and calm down.

When cooking at noon, Cheng Lianxiang and Cheng Xiyu didn't ask for a reservation, so they walked to the kitchen themselves. After all, they had already been bought back, so they naturally had to eat. The Cheng family lived a very frugal life on weekdays, and they had been away for several months. The taste of eating braised vegetables made Cheng Lianxiang crazy.

Now that she finally has meat to eat, she naturally needs to be more active.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the kitchen door, I saw several brothers from the Su family busy in the kitchen. When I saw them coming, the brother who was eleven from the Su family waved his hands at them, "We will cook at noon today, so you can rest."

The two sisters of the Cheng family couldn't enter the kitchen, for fear that they would tamper with meat, stealing their own food, and hide their own personalities, so they smiled and said, "You are a guest, so why don't you let you do it? A few brothers, please sit outside and leave it to us to make it."

Su Shiyi waved his hand, "There is nothing embarrassing. They are all their own family, so there is no need to pay attention to those. Besides, we have seen your skills, but it is really not good. It's okay to make some batter soup. If you get this meat and vegetables, I'm afraid they will be ruined."

The two were embarrassed and their faces were flushed.

The Cheng family really can't do anything about cooking.

Seeing the Su brothers huddled in the kitchen, the two of them had no nerve to squeeze in and had to stand at the door and not leave.

Su Jiu looked at the two of them with his eyes squinted, "What are you doing when you are here? Are you afraid that we will steal food?"

When they were said to be central, the two of them were embarrassed and waved their hands quickly, "Aren't we afraid that the elder brothers of the family will not be able to find anything?"

Su Jiu snorted coldly, "Your kitchen is so big, the seasonings are just two different. What can I find? Why, is there anything else you have hidden in your house?"

The two of them felt embarrassed on their faces, and they couldn't stand Su Jiu's sarcasm, so they were defeated and hid back in the house.

Su Jiu sneered, "There is something that cannot be used in the family."

Su Shiyi took a handful of ribs on the chopping board, chopped them up quickly and whispered, saying, "I didn't know what Uncle Wu thought back then, so I married our tenth sister here."

The fifth uncle is Su Qinniang's father, and the tenth sister is naturally Su Qinniang. She ranks ten in the family of her daughter.

Su Jiu mentioned the firewood and filled it into the stove, "I won't talk about the past. Now we have to exasperate our anger to Sister Ten and get the house so that Ten and Sister Ten can live their life in the future."

Su Shiyi nodded, "That's necessary, but don't be too anxious. We have to empty the Cheng family's money first. Take this opportunity to make up for the two nephews. The two little guys are too thin."

Su Jiu said while cooking: "That depends on your ability. If you make the rice better, they can eat more."

The bone-cutting knife in Chef Su Shiyi's hand was simply neat and said, "Don't worry, keep it, so that you can't think about it after this meal."

Not long after, a tempting fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

Zhou Zhou and Yueyue could not help but run into the kitchen when they smelled the fragrance.

The two little guys had already remembered all the eight uncles clearly and hung them beside the stove and looked into the pot, "Uncle Eleven, it smells so good. What is this? It looks delicious."

Seeing their little greedy cats, Su Shiyi smiled and took out two pieces of grain from his pocket and handed them, "Come on, sweet-sweet mouth first, these sweet-sweet pork ribs are not cooked yet, wait."
