Chapter 182 - 182 Not Again



The villagers looked at each other, smiled meaningfully, and teased Xie Heng. “Da Lang, who is in charge of your family?”

“Chuchu.” Xie Heng didn’t even hesitate. “She is the one who makes the decisions on everything in the family.”

“What about the silver?”

!!

“She’s in charge.”

“What about you?”

“Cooking.”

The crowd was shocked.

That was when all the women went into an uproar. “Hear that? A man as capable as Da Lang listens to his wife, and look at you all. You just know how to be domineering at home all day.”

“Is that true? No wonder they say capable men love women, and Da Lang is the best example.”

“You guys are far worse than Da Lang. Chuchu is the luckiest!”

“It’s like that.” Xie Heng corrected them with a serious face. “You should say that the luckiest man in Lengshui Village is me, Xie Heng, because Chuchu married me.”

“Wow!”

The people working on Tripe Mountain heard this, and they all began teasing. Their voices could be heard all over the mountain.

Madam Kong nudged Zhao Chuchu. “Listen, Da Lang is giving you the romantic talk? We are married, but it is rare for us to hear such romantic words. He truly treats you very well.”

Zhao Chuchu wanted to pretend that she didn’t hear it, but Madam Kong reminded her, so she couldn’t play dumb anymore. Therefore, she laughed and said, “We are still young. I wasn’t good with words in the past, but now it’s different, so it’s quite normal, isn’t it?”

“You have a point, but Chuchu, you must hurry up and get pregnant too. You first need to have two more children so that even if Da Lang passes the exam, you will have two children, and he will not be able to get any ideas, right?”

Zhao Chuchu was rendered speechless.

“Why are they urging me to have a baby suddenly?”

“We’ll see. This kind of thing depends on fate. It can’t be rushed.” Zhao Chuchu paltered her way through it. “By the way, now, how are your tofu skins doing? Did you send them all to Visitor’s Aroma? Did they accept all of it?”

“Yes, they did.” Speaking of this, Madam Kong was all smiling.

With a small business, their family had something to look forward to.

And the bean curd was so delicious that the boss of Visitor’s Aroma always thought they sent too little.

“When our water mill is built, we will be able to sell it in large quantities, and then the people in the village will have more income, and their lives will be better.”

“Yes, where did I dare to think about such things before? Thanks to you, Chuchu. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here today. Maybe we would have been burned to death by the government.”

“Well, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it. We should look forward.”

“That’s right, Chuchu. Your potatoes should be ready to be harvested next month, right?”

“Yes, you can dig them at the end of June. I’m telling you, potatoes are also delicious and filling. I will send some to you to try. If you think it’s okay, come to me to buy seeds so you can plant them too.”

Zhao Chuchu did not give everything out for free. She knew being too nice to people for some time would cause them to take her kindness for granted.

“Our head of the family said that from now on, we will do whatever you say. There’s definitely nothing wrong with listening to you. But Chuchu, there are some things I need to talk to you about. Don’t blame me for being too nosy. You should charge whatever you need, and do not give everything for free. This is to prevent you from becoming enemies in the future.”

Madam Kong lowered her voice and advised Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu smiled faintly. It was tacit understanding. She was just thinking of the exact same thing.

“Of course. For the soybeans, I also agreed with them, now they have no money, but when the soybeans are harvested, they have to pay me the money for the seeds. I wouldn’t let them pay anything if they didn’t harvest soybeans.”

“You said nothing about subsidies if they didn’t get a harvest, right?”

“Of course not.”

“That’s good. I was afraid that you’re too young. Some people still like to take advantage of you. In any case, it’s never the wrong thing to make sure the account is right.”

“Don’t worry, Madam Kong.”

“What are you muttering about here?” Niu Tongsheng came over. “Honey, you go and give the guys some water. It’s hot. Let’s hurry up and finish the planting so we can head back earlier.”

“Oh, okay.” Madam Kong immediately got up and went to work.

Today’s work was free of charge. The villagers were here to help the Xie family. They didn’t ask to get paid.

Zhao Chuchu saw it was about time, so she went to Xie Heng’s side. “Da Lang, I’ll go back first and tell Old Mrs. Chen and the others to help make lunch. Otherwise, they will get hungry if lunch is served too late.”

“Well, go ahead. There is the pork head meat I brined yesterday in the pot. There are also dishes made in advance on the steamer on the other side. Take a look to see if there is enough. If not, do some more.” Xie Heng deliberately allowed everyone to hear him say this.

All these dishes were taken out by Zhao Chuchu from her carry-on space.

Initially, she didn’t expect so many people to help, so she didn’t prepare enough.

Xie Heng’s words reminded Zhao Chuchu to bring out some more dishes when she returned.

“Okay, I got it, then I’ll be heading back now,”

Zhao Chuchu notified Niu Tongsheng and went back with Old Mrs. Chen and her two daughters-in-law first.

They couldn’t take all of the dishes from the carry-on space. They needed to cook up some as well. Otherwise, people would wonder how they could prepare everything the night before.

On the way back, Old Mrs. Chen mentioned Xie Heng as well. She said the exact same thing as Madam Kong. She also urged Zhao Chuchu to have a baby as soon as possible.

Zhao Chuchu felt tired.

Why was she always being urged to have a baby wherever she went?

“We’re not in a hurry. Da Lang’s health condition isn’t that great. It’s not suitable for us to have a child for the time being. We plan on waiting for him to get better.”

Zhao Chuchu babbled her way through things.

“Chuchu, don’t blame Grandma Chen for talking too much. Men always want their own children, and Da Lang is a promising person. Some people want to have a baby with him even if you don’t. Therefore, don’t wait for too long.”

...

“I know. I’ll take a look at it later.”

Old Mrs. Chen stopped at that point and did not continue the topic to avoid being annoying.

Zhao Chuchu asked them to go to the vegetable garden first and pick some vegetables, while she went home first and took some more vegetables out of her carry-on space and put them on the steamer.

When Old Mrs. Chen and her two daughters-in-law came over, they saw many dishes on the steamer, so they planned to cook a wax gourd and vegetables.

When she saw that Zhao Chuchu wanted to cook boiled rice, Old Mrs. Chen wanted to say something but stopped.

Then she thought Zhao Chuchu intended to let the working people eat, so she swallowed her words to advise Zhao Chuchu to mix some mixed grains.

The people of the Zhao family were jealous and regretful when they saw the villagers Zhao Chuchu asked to help her eat so well.

If they hadn’t agreed to the letter of the breaking of kinship, such benefits would have been the Zhao family’s. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.

Zhao Chuchu was very cold-hearted. No matter how hard they tried to please her, she didn’t say that she had forgiven Madam Yang.

Even when Madam Yang was bedridden, Zhao Chuchu did not visit once, let alone give them any assistance.

The most important thing was that one couldn’t find a single person in the whole of Wei Dynasty who could do what Zhao Chuchu did.

...

This really frustrated Madam Yang. There was nothing she could do.
