Chapter 12 Calculation
Seeing that the quarrel was about to start again, the old man walked out of the room, glanced at everyone, "Shut up!"

Only then did the crowd die down.

The old lady quickly placed the dishes and chopsticks, and the family sat neatly in the yard and started eating.

Stewed Chinese cabbage, boiled tofu, wild vegetable dumplings and a pot of white rice are all their meals.

The old lady cooked the white rice specially because her third son came back today.

The third aunt was thinking about the white flour pancakes and felt that the rice in front of her was a bit too much to swallow. She turned over two chopsticks and threw them aside.

"Where did your wife go wrong?"

The old lady didn't dare to make the old man angry now, so she could only lower her voice and ask Lu Zhengan.

Seeing the opportunity, the third aunt immediately pushed Lu Zheng'an aside and started to mistreat her, "Mom, we eat chaff every day, but we don't know that there are people who eat a lot of fish and meat every day."

The old lady thought that the third aunt disliked the food she cooked, so she lost her temper and threw her chopsticks heavily on the table.

"What do you mean?"

The third aunt hurriedly defended herself and told others about her meeting with her second wife at the entrance of the village.

But the eldest aunt immediately exposed her idea when she heard it, "Did you hear that someone was setting up a stall to make money, and you wanted to take advantage, but in the end you didn't get the advantage, and you were squeezed out by that girl Meng Qingning?"

"You..." The third aunt was so upset that she almost quarreled with the eldest aunt again.

That was indeed her plan today. The reason why she didn't tell the big house was because she was afraid that they would get half of the things by then.

No one expects to get any benefits.

"Stop!" The old lady didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore, because she caught a very important word, "Who went to set up a stall?"

When the third aunt saw the old lady like this, she knew the opportunity had come and said hurriedly, "Mom, you don't know that the things in the second room are always making money, and people in the village are queuing up to buy them."

Lu Zhengan was also curious, "Is that thing really that profitable?"

Afraid that they wouldn't believe it, the third aunt continued, "You didn't see their big and small bags. They bought a lot of things, and they were holding fragrant white flour pancakes in their hands."

In fact, there was another reason why she couldn't eat. The white flour pancake she grabbed just now had already entered her stomach.

When she heard that she had made money, the old lady turned red with jealousy.

"Damn it, there are good things for sale without telling us!" After saying that, he stood up and wanted to go to the second room to find out.

No wonder they wanted to separate, they were waiting for me here!
"Why are you going?" The old man's face was solemn and his expression was very ugly, "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

He had always had a good face all his life, but now that he was in good health, his son separated from them.

This made him lose face in the village.

Therefore, he would never allow his family to find that unfilial son again.

"Are you out of food? Do you need to worry about what they have?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Even if the family is separated, he is still my son. It is only natural for a son to respect his mother." The old lady felt her heart itching and said stiffly, holding her neck.

The third aunt continued to complain, "That's right, Dad, this is what they did in the first place. I heard that after they made the fish balls, they sent them to every house. Only you and mother didn't see it."

The old man paused when he heard this, and suddenly remembered what the patriarch said, "If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to take them back."

Speechless for a while.

The eldest aunt had not yet recovered from the shock, her eyes were full of greed, and she said slowly, "Can that thing really make money?"

At this time, she and her third aunt were thinking about how to snatch the things.

Not to mention that these two people can become sisters-in-law, their ideas are surprisingly consistent.

"How can it be false?" The third aunt naturally knew what she had in mind, but at this time she didn't want to have any disagreement with the big house, so she said, "Dad, I'm afraid they have already made this thing and are avoiding us. Otherwise, why did we separate at this time?"

The old man clenched the water glass angrily. Although he didn't believe that the always honest second brother would plot against his family, this incident was too coincidental.

"If this business is really that profitable, our children will be able to study." Lu Zhengxiu also took the opportunity to say.

He knew very well that what the old man valued most was her descendants.Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the old man frowned and his expression began to loosen.

Su Jin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Qiya on the side.

In this home, nothing they say matters.

I can only sigh.

In the second room, everyone had a meal of rice for the first time in a long time. Although it was only cooked with brown rice, the family was very satisfied.

Meng Ning made braised fish cubes and crucian carp tofu soup.

I just bought the tofu today.

Although they still mainly eat fish, a new dish has been added, and the two children couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.

"Mom, when will I go to the market next time? I still want to set up a stall." Lu Qiyu didn't forget to ask about setting up a stall while eating.

Today they earned a total of three hundred cash. You must know that even if the money was not divided into families, the whole family would not be able to earn so much money in one day.

They did it in just half a day.

Not to mention how happy I am.

"We have gatherings here on Wednesday and September, so we can sew six times a month. It happens to be the beginning of the month, so the next gathering will be..."

Before Wang could finish her words, Lu Qiyu grabbed it and said, "It will take another five days."

He felt that time was a bit long.

Lu Qinan also likes the feeling of making money on his own. In the past, all the money in the family was managed by his grandma. When they grew up, they never saw a copper plate.

Even the New Year's money given by her uncle and aunt during the New Year was all confiscated by her.

She praised Meng Qingning, "My sister-in-law's cooking skills are better than those of restaurant chefs. When we get rich in the future, we will open a big restaurant."

Lu Qinan also didn't expect that what she casually said today would become a prophecy.

Wang deliberately teased her, "Do you know what the food in the restaurant looks like?"

"Anyway, I'm not as good as my sister-in-law." Lu Qinan insisted.

At dawn the next day, Lu Qiyu was clamoring to catch fish.

But Meng Qingning said that they would not catch fish these days.

Lu Qiyu didn't understand why.

Meng Qingning just smiled and told him to just go to the river and have a look.

But she started to help Wang and the others grow vegetables.

They bought some seeds yesterday and just planted them around the yard today.

She couldn't help but lament that there was still too little land and she had to make money quickly to buy it.

Mrs. Wang didn't understand why Meng Qingning didn't go fishing, so she asked, "But because of those people in the old house?"

Meng Qingning shook her head, "You'll find out later."

It didn't take long for the two siblings to run back out of breath.

Lu Qiyu's face was bulging with anger.

"What's wrong?" Wang asked.

Lu Qinan then explained the reason. It turned out that the river was full of people, all here to catch fish, but now there were not many fish left in the river.

"These people are so shameless. They must have heard that our fish balls are making money and deliberately imitated ours."

"This..." Wang and Lu Zhengting exchanged a look, obviously not expecting this.
