Chapter 220: As soon as it was mealtime, someone came
ity to get water."You're giving up on the imperial exams, aren't you" Zong Bai pointed accusingly, still unwilling to believe it."You forgot what your mother fears most!""Be smart and get me some wate...At noon, the Mus and others sat down to eat. They were amazed by the table full of delicious food.
These days they've actually been eating pretty well, but compared to this spread in front of them, they can't help but drool.
Even if they had not experienced a drought, their family would never have been able to afford such a plentiful meal.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, is this the sausage we stuffed" Yulian pointed at the plate of sliced sausage and asked eagerly.
Fang Jinshu nodded. "Yes, all of you come often to see your own labor achievements!"
With the help of her children, Mu sat down first and quickly urged them to join her at the table.
"Come on, everyone, have a seat and eat."
Zong Bai was already itching to get started.
Mu couldn't help but blush again. Their family could actually live such a good life. Even when she wasn't married, her parents advocated for a frugal lifestyle, and their family never had extravagant meals of large fish or meat.
After getting married, she couldn't even manage to eat a proper meal.
Having always been controlled by her mother-in-law, Wu, she finally managed to move out and live independently. However, life was still incredibly difficult.
To his surprise, after marrying a daughter-in-law, everything changed for the better. Not only did their life become easier, but his second son was also able to return to school.
And there's such a large table full of delicious food.
Zong Bai swallowed nervously and then sat down quickly, picking up his chopsticks with practiced ease.
"If those elders from this morning saw this, their eyes would pop out of their sockets. They probably wouldn't want to leave our house."
Yu Lian nodded confidently, "That's right. Fortunately, sister-in-law is quick to put things away. If the meat was still hanging from the eaves, they would definitely say that our family lives a luxurious life and are heartless for not helping others."
"I just don't get it. What does our family's life have to do with them They've never helped us, and they still keep pestering my older brother to dig irrigation ditches."
Mu looked at them, "Alright, alright, they're gone anyway, why get angry"
"Come eat, it's a hot day and your brother-in-law and sister-in-law worked hard to make this meal. Don't let it get cold."
Zong Bai and Yu Lian chorused, "We know, Mother!"
Then, they each picked up their chopsticks and quickly reached for their favorite dishes.
Fang Jinshi and Zong Yu first gave Mu a piece of vegetables, and then they started eating.
She tilted her head and watched Zongyu eat a sausage, hurriedly asking, "How does it taste Is it good"
Here, everything the daughter-in-law makes is delicious. He nodded heavily.
"Delicious."
Then he continuously ate seven or eight slices of sausage, and in the time it took to say a few words, a bowl of white rice was gone. Zong Yu held up the empty bowl of noodles with an impassive expression.
"I'll have another bowl."
Fang Jinxiu was stunned for a moment before helplessly taking the bowl.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to rush you. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
Zong Yu nodded, listening intently. "Good, I understand."
Just as Fang Jinshu was about to go to the dinner party, someone knocked on the courtyard gate. She frowned.
Yulian quickly stretched her neck and looked out.
"Why does someone always come to eat at our house Aren't those old men from before back again!"
Zong Bai was afraid that the old men in the village would see their table full of delicious food, and he almost closed the door to the main hall.
Fang Jinshi waved at him.
"Not the village elder."
She smiled at Zong Bai, "The person who's going to fight you for the meat has arrived."
Outside the courtyard stood Su Yusheng and several of his guards, their faces as pale as turnips appearing at the door.
Fang Jinxiu let the person in, watching Su Yusheng's face was not looking good.
It's strange, his body is adjusting, he shouldn't have this complexion.
"Young Master Su, what's wrong with you"
Su Yusheng raised his head weakly, with a helpless look in his eyes.
"Miss Jinxiu, please allow us to have a meal at your home. I really can't stomach the food in the village anymore."
Just thinking about what he saw on Wang's village head's table at lunchtime today makes him nauseous.
The guards were also a sorry sight.
Fang Jinxiu helplessly shook her head. Luckily, she had made a large amount of dishes today. Su Yusheng, a son of a wealthy family, being able to stay in their village for so many days was truly not easy.
"Come in, I'll get you some more bowls and chopsticks."tion in the mirror.Of course, Mu Shi, after putting on makeup, was different from her usual self.Makeup covered most of the traces of age on her face. The Mu family's features were originally quite be...
