Chapter 264 As steady as an old dog

Mrs. Jiang Liu glared at her daughter disapprovingly: "Yu Kun is also your biological child, how can you say that?"

"Then what can I do?" Jiang Yunniang pretended not to care.

When she found out that her son and his father were plotting against her and her parents' family, she was completely disappointed in her son.

As expected of a biological father and son, they even think the same way.

He worked hard to raise several children and worked hard for the family, but in the eyes of his son, he was worthless.

Yu Kun actually felt that his food and clothing were all spent on his father's money and had nothing to do with his mother. His mother should not care about his father's concubinage, let alone bring the matter to his uncles. This not only made his father lose face, but also made him unable to hold his head high in his uncle's house.

Ms. Jiang Liu: "How about letting 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, even if a few more people come in, they won't be able to turn around."

"Don't you have any land in Zhangjiacun? Just build a bacteria 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 his hometown and learn to grow mushrooms from his uncles, but he just refused.

Yukun thought that he was from the county and would be ridiculed if he returned to his hometown to farm.

Old Man Jiang said angrily: "This won't work, and that won't work either, so just set up a stall."

After that, he stood up and left.

Adou was so helpless that it was no use even talking to her!

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 evening, 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's table wanted to invite someone to accompany him, so Jiang Dalang invited Patriarch Chen, Chen Sanyou, Chen Changsheng, and two masters from the school to come over.

Including my three brothers and my father, there are exactly ten people.

Yingbao sat at 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 still took care of him, picking up vegetables for him from time to time, and even wiping his hands and mouth with a handkerchief.

And Xiao Chengyu is a little overlord, a rival to the former Wei Zhan.

The little guy not only competed with the little demon for food, but also tried to squeeze Wei Zhan away from Yingbao to monopolize that position.

But Wei Zhan refused to give in and fought him to the end, sitting next to Ying Bao as steady as an old dog.

Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and Hu Zi were also dishonest when eating. Either you would slap me, or I would bump into you, or else they would use chopsticks as swords and attack each other by banging 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 Cui Zhaochen tried to coerce and induce him, he just refused to look back.

The men's table wasn't over yet. They were chatting while eating wine, and it wasn't until the end of the day that they dispersed.

The little demon had already fallen asleep on the bamboo bed, but 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, he took the one hundred and fifty taels of gold ingots into the cave, kept some of the silver ornaments and silk cloths for himself, and gave the rest to Aniang for safekeeping.

There are also several sets of ready-made clothes in the box, as well as several pairs of shoes and footwear. The colors and materials are all top-notch, and they were given to me by the Xiao family as compensation.

The rest are some wine and seeds, as well as various toys, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as pastries and candies.

In the list given by Ying Bao, half of the items on it are true and false, so that they are the most authentic.

That acting king was really a good person, and he actually asked the Xiao family to pay him a good gift.

Hehe, I have made a fortune this time!

Now there are three hundred taels of gold, more than two thousand taels of silver, and a large basket of copper coins stored in Yingbao's cave.

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 moved the golden ear and snow ear out of the cave.

These mushrooms have been dried, and there are a total of forty catties of golden fungus and forty catty 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 in the sun.

The only advantage is that the picked mushrooms will not rot or become moldy if left 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 is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone started making hibiscus cakes.

Hibiscus cake is filled with pine nut cakes and caramel, and is a favorite among children.

The Jiang family is the most lively this year because there are too many children who are very naughty and often hula here and there, attracting 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 shrimp 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 as a physical exercise.

"Ying Bao! Ying Bao!" Chen Zhao took his little brother Xu Bao to play with Ying Bao.

Yingbao had no choice but to put down her book, run out of the house, let them sit down at the stone table under the grape trellis, and brought out some jujube and chestnut cakes to entertain them.

Chen Zhao let his little brother eat the dates by himself and talked to Ying Bao: "My eldest sister is back."

Yingbao blinked: "Yeah."

Chen Changping passed the scholar examination this year, so he naturally wanted to buy Chen Wan back, otherwise his reputation would be affected.

Strangely enough, shouldn't Chen Changping be admitted as a scholar a few years later? I got hit right now, and I don’t know if it will be detrimental to my family.

Chen Zhao added: "Grandma wants to tell the eldest sister about her, but the eldest sister doesn't want to."

Yingbao nodded to express understanding.

The sisters were not mistreated by Mr. Han, but their lives were actually pretty good. As long as they were diligent and capable, Ms. 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 since his mother passed away, he had been alone with no one to talk to, like an orphan.

My younger brother is still young and doesn't understand anything. He only knows how to eat every day, and then he crawls around everywhere, making himself dirty and annoying.

Fortunately, the eldest sister is back. Although she is a lot silent, she is very gentle to herself and her younger brother, and she also takes the initiative to help the family with laundry and cooking.

She didn't understand why her eldest 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 little hands.

Chen Zhao continued to ramble: "Recently, matchmakers often come to our house, not only for my eldest sister, but also for my father. Guess, Yingbao, which family the matchmaker told my father about?"

"Which one?" Ying Bao asked casually.

Chen Zhao looked disdainful: "It's Chu Man, the daughter of the village chief of Chujia Village!"
