Chapter 417 The Vain Little Aunt 17
"Don't worry. We are the masters of our own household now. Our lives will surely get better and better. I still have some dowry on hand, so we won't live a bad life."
"By the way, I have also found a good marriage for Yan Zi. Our whole family will benefit from it when the time comes."
"Marriage? When did it happen?"
Xiang Youlu paid little attention to his stepdaughter, but he never treated Zhou Yan badly.
Zhou Xing'er leaned on Xiang Youlu's shoulder and nodded.
"It happened a few days ago. I asked my family to find someone I liked. Just wait. We will live a good life together."
Azhi looked at Xiang Qingtai in the corner, who was carrying a bowl into the kitchen. After a while, he came back to Xiang Qingtai with the bowl in his hand.
She whispered to Xiang Qingtai, "Eat quickly. Your parents will not be in the mood to cook tonight. Don't starve yourself."
"Little aunt?"
Looking at the bowl of chicken soup in front of him, Xiang Qingtai swallowed and shook his head.
"I can't eat it, this is my aunt's broth."
Unexpectedly, Azhi frowned slightly and leaned into her arms.
"Eat what I give you. See who dares to snatch it from you. Don't let others see you. Some people will take it out on you if they see you eating well."
The others she was talking about were Zhou Yan and Zhou Xing'er. If they saw this, they would definitely skin Xiang Qingtai alive.
Seeing the determination on Azhi's face, Xiang Qingtai nodded with tears in his eyes, hid in the corner and wolfed down the meat and soup. He dared not appear in the yard until he wiped his mouth.
Mrs. Xiang had already noticed her daughter's actions.
"Yunyun, why bother to meddle in other people's business? Your second brother is simply confused. He doesn't feel sorry for his own daughter, but protects Zhou Yan like the apple of his eye every day. I really think he is blind."
When it comes to her grandchildren, Xiang Pozi is impartial. She doesn't favor anyone in particular, nor does she dislike anyone in particular.
Ah Zhi held two chicken legs in his hands and looked at Mrs. Xiang with anticipation.
"Mom, you and Dad can eat the two chicken legs. I usually don't have a big appetite, and the other meats I ate today are already delicious."
Looking at the two big chicken legs in front of her, the old woman's eyes reddened slightly.
"Our Yunyun is still sensible. No one else is as considerate as Yunyun."
Especially when thinking about the son I raised, my daughter is the most caring one.
Today the family was divided, and Mrs. Xiang was sad. She never expected that Xiang Youlu would threaten her with the division of the family.
The old woman secretly saved some soup for Ahzhi to cook rice soup, and the next day she tore the chicken legs into shreds and put them in the rice soup.
Looking at the fragrant soup and rice sprinkled with chopped green onions, Ah Zhi reluctantly gave half to Xiang Pozi, and the mother and daughter shared a bowl of soup and rice.
The family split up last night, and Wang Lan obviously hasn't come to her senses yet. She prepared to cook for the family early in the morning.
Xiang Qingcao hurriedly stopped Wang Lan and asked, "Mom, what do you want to do so early in the morning? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Cook, your father and your second uncle are about to get up and go to work in the fields. I have to prepare the meal for the whole family first."
Seeing that Wang Lan was really preparing to cook for the family, he walked up to Qingcao and snatched the food from her hand.
"You are confused, mother. We have already divided the family last night. These grains are for our family of four. If you let Second Uncle's family eat them, won't the four of us be starving?"
Wang Lan really didn’t think that much about it. She was the one who usually got up in the morning to cook.
"I'll prepare the meal first. When the family has finished eating, your second uncle might return the food to us."
Looking at his slightly naive and soft-hearted mother, Xiang Qingcao said helplessly to her, "It is indeed possible that Second Uncle will return the food to us, but do you think Second Aunt will give up this opportunity to take advantage of us?"
"We just need to do our own thing. Grandpa and grandma have already gotten up and gone to the fields after eating. On the first day of the separation, my second uncle and second aunt are staying in bed at home. Please don't worry about them."
Seeing her daughter's serious face, Wang Lan followed her instructions and made breakfast for the family of four.
The second roommate woke up and found that she had no breakfast. Zhou Xing'er put her hands on her hips and cursed. Xiang Youlu frowned slightly when he heard it.
"Forget it, you should just calm down. Don't you think things are chaotic enough? Now that the family has split up, who else do you expect to cook for you? Mom? Sister-in-law? You're just dreaming. Go cook for the kids."
Last night, a family of five squeezed into one room, and Xiang Youlu didn't sleep well the whole night.
Looking back at the crowded room with a frown, Zhou Yan was complaining to Zhou Xing'er.
"Grandpa and grandma are so stingy. Uncle San's room is obviously empty, why don't they let us live there? Why can Xiang Yun live in a room all by herself?"
Noticing Xiang Youlu looking at her, Zhou Xing'er raised her hand and patted Zhou Yan.
"Okay, stop complaining. Hurry up and pack up and come with me. Your marriage has been arranged. I'll take you to show off."
"Really? Mom, that's great."
Both mother and daughter had happy expressions on their faces, except Xiang Qingtai, who was standing next to them with her head lowered.
At this time, Zhou Xing'er said to Xiang Qingtai, "Hurry up and prepare breakfast. Your sister and I have to go out after we finish eating."
"it is good."
Seeing Xiang Qingtai cowering with his head down, Xiang Youlu couldn't help but remind Zhou Xing'er, "Xing'er, can you be nicer to Qingtai..."
"Not good enough? You want to be like Xiang Yun? Is your daughter really that precious?"
This sentence left Xiang Youlu speechless. After the meal, the eldest wife started to work according to their respective tasks.
Xiang Qingcao took Xiang Ping'an to find a place to build a barbecue oven. Recalling the oven in her dream, she was able to build it exactly like it.
As soon as Azhi finished embroidering the handkerchief, she saw Xiang Qingcao and Xiang Ping'an coming back with excitement on their faces.
The brother and sister were whispering something in the room and went out again after a while. These days, Wang Lan and Xiang Qingcao went out early and came back late, and all the work in the fields was done by Xiang Youfu.
This made Old Man Xiang feel very confused, and Old Lady Xiang started yelling even louder.
"It's strange. After the family split up, Wang Lan became lazy? If she doesn't work in the fields every day, what are the four of them going to eat?"
Only Azhi knew what had happened. Now Xiang Qingcao had made small cakes and went to the town to sell them with Wang Lan every day.
Soon she will choose to start making stewed food, and as her business grows she will no longer choose to live at home.
Just as the plot developed, in less than a month Wang Lan and Xiang Youfu proposed to move back into the old house and even took out money to hire someone to renovate the old house.
Now that the family has been divided, Mrs. Xiang and Old Man Xiang will naturally not stop it.
But renovating the old house costs money. Where would Xiang Youfu's family of four get the money?
Zhou Xing'er looked at the old house that was actually being renovated by the eldest brother's family, and she felt as uncomfortable as if she had been scratched by a cat.
