Wu Cuicui and Liu Xiaomian helped Liu Meiniang clean up the kitchen and left.

Liu Meiniang was alone sorting out the remaining things in the kitchen.

"Mei Niang, you put some chickens, ducks, fish and geese for me." Qian came to the kitchen and said without thinking.

Liu Meiniang asked the sky speechlessly, is this the legendary can't eat and still have to go around?

Liu Meiniang found a cloth bag, wrapped two chickens and two fish in oiled paper, stuffed them, and handed them to Qian. Anyway, their family is not so bad, and on such a hot day, it is a waste to eat it and spoil it.

When the villagers left, Liu Meiniang asked them to pack and take away everything they could pack and take away.

"Fill me with everything in that pot, who will be able to eat these two?" Qian didn't blink when he saw the cloth bag handed over by Liu Meiniang.

"Fifth aunt, there's only so much left in the pot, we still have to eat." Zhang Dandan directly blocked in front of the big basin.

That's the spicy fish fried by Liu Meiniang, Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong love to eat it, after today's banquet with the villagers, there is such a half pot left, Liu Meiniang originally planned to put it away for a few children as snacks, anyway, it is not a problem to put fried things for three or five days.

"You dead girl, what's wrong with the fifth aunt eating something from your house? This is a search! Qian poked Zhang Dandan's forehead with his fingers.

"Dandan." Liu Meiniang pulled Zhang Dandan behind her.

"Aunt Five, wait a minute, I'll pretend it for you." Liu Meiniang has always been generous with these foods, mainly because she is afraid that if she doesn't give the Qian family some food and drink today, tomorrow when they have money, they will turn their faces and deny people, and the rumors can be heard in eight villages.

"That's pretty much it!" Qian leaned against the kitchen door and hummed a little song, Zhang Dandan pouted and looked at Qian, for her eldest aunt and this fifth aunt, Zhang Dandan hated it very much, wishing they would never come to their house again.

Liu Meiniang's hands and feet were nimble, and it was packed after a while, but Qian still didn't take the bag handed over by Liu Meiniang, but turned around in the kitchen.

"You're not bad with this pot." Qian said, looking at a pot in the kitchen.

It was specially ordered by Liu Meiniang to the blacksmith, and it was the appearance of a modern frying spoon.

Liu Meiniang smiled when she heard Qian's words, but didn't speak.

"This bowl also looks pretty tight." Qian saw the bowl that Liu Meiniang put in the cabinet, and touched it, looking at Qian's nails with mud in one hand, Liu Meiniang decided to wash the dishes again after Qian left.

"Mei Niang, what kind of shrimp did you eat at the table today, is there any, I will also put some back, Fugui likes to eat that." I'll put it back and give it to Fugui to eat. Qian was not satisfied, and continued to ask Liu Meiniang for things.

"Fifth aunt, that one has been eaten, and there is no more." Liu Meiniang replied lightly.

"Okay, okay, I know that your brother likes it, and I don't know if I want to leave some for your brother, but I am interested in that Xue Gongzi." Qian muttered quietly, but Zhang Dandan and Liu Meiniang heard it clearly. Liu Meiniang didn't argue with Qian anymore, Qian finally took the cloth bag in Liu Meiniang's hand and followed Liu Meiniang out of the kitchen.

Liu Meiniang bolted the kitchen door and took Qian into the living room.

Zhang Tianhua was sitting in the living room eating melon seeds, accompanied by Zhang Jihan and Zhang Li.

"Sister-in-law, I want to stay at your house and help you, do you think it's okay?" Zhang Peony walked in from the outside and said.

"Help?" Liu Meiniang asked puzzled.

"That's right, sister-in-law, didn't you say two days ago that there was a shortage of manpower for silkworm raising? I can come and help, I can not only raise silkworms, but also weave cloth. All Zhang Mudan's previous dissatisfaction with Liu Meiniang seemed to have disappeared, and she looked at Liu Meiniang with a smile, looking really like a sister.

"But now there are enough people." Liu Meiniang spread her hands and said that she no longer needed people.

"How can there be a reason for many suspicious people!" Qian's eyes darkened, as if he had thought of something, and pushed Zhang Peony forward and began to speak.

"Your peony girl is ingenious, she can raise silkworms and weave cloth, so she will leave her to help you, besides, even if there are enough silkworm raisers. Your house is so big, more than one person can clean it. ”

"Yes, Mei Niang, what your fifth aunt said makes sense, I see that your family is so big, it's really a bit empty to live with the five of you, otherwise, I and your fifth aunt will also move over and live, and I can be a companion for you, anyway, there are so many houses in your family, and we can live in them." As soon as Zhang Tianhua's words came out, not only Liu Meiniang, but even Zhang Li was stunned.

"Fifth Uncle, what do you mean? Moving to our house? Zhang Jihan thought he had heard it wrong, and asked Zhang Tianhua again.

"yes, how nice it would be to come and be a companion for you, and to be able to help you with your work." Zhang Tianhua thought that Zhang Jihan had agreed to his proposal and was overjoyed.

"Fifth uncle, if you don't wake up. Just go back and get some sleep again! Zhang Jihan said mercilessly after listening to Zhang Tianhua's words.

"Hey, you kid, the fifth uncle is kind, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, what do you mean!" Zhang Tianhua's face darkened, he didn't expect Zhang Jihan to dare to mock him like this.

"Thank you Fifth Uncle for your kindness, we don't need it!" Zhang Ji said coldly.

"This child is still not sensible, second sister-in-law, tell me, you orphans and widows live at the foot of this mountain, what should you do if there is an accident? My father and Fugui are also kind, you see, if it were someone else, my father and Fugui would not care about this idle matter, do you say that it is not a second sister-in-law! As soon as the Qian family reversed black and white, Zhang Li was a little dumbfounded.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Li is 10,000 unhappy.

"Fifth aunt, you don't need to worry about it with the fifth uncle, it's good for a few of us to live here, no matter how bad it is, there are also Laifu and Wangcai Xiaoqi." Liu Meiniang was stunned by the shamelessness of Zhang Tianhua and his wife's family.

"This kid, why don't you listen to persuasion, second sister-in-law, you say." Zhang Tianhua knew that Zhang Li had a soft personality, so he directly bypassed Liu Meiniang and forced Zhang Li to ask.

"Tianhua, this ...... We don't have to be afraid if we live together, so we don't need it. Zhang Li said with a not very good face.

"Second sister-in-law! Be kind to the donkey's liver and lungs! Qian said indignantly.

"Sister-in-law, second aunt, then let me stay at home to help, I will definitely work hard." Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Zhang Mudan said loudly.

"No need for Sister Peony, there are enough people working at home, so I won't trouble you anymore." Zhang Jihan seemed to be persuasive, but his tone was incredibly firm.

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan's tone was pleading.

"Peony, my sister-in-law's family really doesn't need manpower, so you can go back with the fifth uncle and five aunts." After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she no longer looked at Zhang Peony's face.

She didn't know what Zhang Peony was thinking about, but she was sure that Zhang Peony was definitely not at ease, don't look at Zhang Peony's harmless appearance of humans and animals, she has a lot of eyes.

"Mei Niang, you can't say that, you'd rather hire someone from outside to work than let your cousin come, aren't you afraid of others gossiping when this spreads? Would you rather believe in outsiders than in peonies? "Qian is aggressive.

"Fifth aunt, what you said is serious, the family has indeed recruited enough manpower, and Peony has nothing to do, besides, Peony really knows how to raise silkworms and weave cloth?" Liu Meiniang's last sentence was to look at Zhang Peony and say.

She heard Zhang Li say that no one in the Zhang family could raise silkworms and weave cloth, the Zhang family was farming, and the most famous silkworm weaving was in several other villages adjacent to Liuhe Village, and there were really few people in Liuhe Village who could raise silkworms.

And Zhang Li and Aunt Li both married from other villages, so they can raise silkworms and weave cloth.

"Sister-in-law, I can learn, whoever is born can weave cloth and raise silkworms, isn't it all learned." Zhang Peony said unconvinced.

Liu Meiniang rubbed her temples, she paid for workers, not students, everyone said that she could learn, so she might as well not raise silkworms and open a school directly.

"Peony, then let's wait until you learn it."

Liu Meiniang gave an ultimatum.

"Liu Meiniang, why don't you recognize people if you have a little stinky money, our peony is here to help you, that is to look up to you, don't be ignorant, second sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law should be in charge, Ji Rin has passed away, just mention Ji Rin is widowed, there are many things to worry about a day, doesn't the Zhang family still have Ji Han? How can you let a woman take care of the house! ”

Qian said sharply.

"Brother and sister, Mei Niang is my daughter-in-law, what does she do, I will naturally say, I don't need you to discipline me, I think Mei Niang is very good." Zhang Li said that he was neither soft nor hard, and Qian touched a soft knife.

"Second sister-in-law!" Qian wanted to say something, but when he saw that Zhang Li had lowered his head, he stopped talking.

"Fifth uncle and fifth aunt, since there is nothing to do, please go back." Liu Meiniang gave an eviction order.

"I'm not unusual." Qian twisted his waist and walked out first, and when Fugui left, he put all the plates of snacks in the living room into his pocket.

Zhang Mudan looked at Liu Meiniang, and the hand under her sleeve clenched into a fist.

"Second aunt, then let's go back first." After Zhang Mudan, he also walked out of the living room.

Finally sent off the plague god, and everyone in the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, the fifth uncle and five aunts are too much." Zhang Jihan went out and closed the door heavily and came back to say.

"Who told them and relatives, don't be angry, today is a good day, what are you angry about." Liu Meiniang felt a little funny when she saw Zhang Jihan's tangled face, she was obviously a handsome and bright young man, but now she looked like an old man and a pedant, can it not make people laugh.

"Sister-in-law, the vases have been broken by wealth." Zhang Dandan hugged Liu Meiniang's waist and said pitifully.

"If it's broken, it's broken, the year is safe, and the next time I go to the county seat, my sister-in-law will go and buy two more to put in the living room, and buy two better-looking ones." Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head.

This little girl has always been very sensible, how old is this, when she encounters this kind of thing, she has to be wronged, Liu Meiniang feels deeply sorry for Zhang Dandan.

But people's words are terrifying, as long as Zhang Tianhua and his wife are not too excessive, Liu Meiniang can tolerate it, after all, in this life, in addition to living themselves, they also have to live a reputation, if Zhang Tianhua and his family go out to talk nonsense, ruining the reputation of the Zhang family, at that time the pressure brought by gossip to the Zhang family is unimaginable.

"Everyone doesn't think about today's affairs, go back and sleep." Liu Meiniang clapped her hands and said.

Zhang Jihan and Zhang Dandan didn't speak, Zhang Tongtong glanced at Liu Meiniang, and silently went back to his room.

"Mei Niang....." Zhang Li wanted to speak and stopped.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Liu Meiniang asked.

"What your fifth aunt said, don't take it to heart." Zhang Li spoke.

"No, mother, you should rest early." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
