Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Hearing that Chu Lingxuan was back, Miss Chu jumped off the table excitedly and ran out. Dabao followed closely, but was blocked by Song's mother and Qiuyue at the door, "Ouch, it's too cold outside."

Chu Lingxuan walked into the restaurant, hugged one and held the other, acting like a good father with children.

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm back. It's a good time to have mutton soup pot tonight to get rid of the cold." Then he put the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Xia Yue on the table and asked someone to get wine.

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "I was just thinking about this smell."

The family of four had a lively meal. The servants came and put cloaks on them, and then they all went to the upper room. Now during the Chinese New Year, Dabao doesn't need to do his homework. He and the little girl watch the comic strips drawn by Chen Afu. Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu sit aside and chat.

Chu Lingxuan hadn't been back for so long, and it wasn't entirely because he was busy with official duties. He also took the time to go back to the capital to see how the preparations in the Marquis' Mansion were, and he also made suggestions for rectification...

The two of them talked in a low voice, and Chu Lingxuan would secretly squeeze Chen Afu's little hand when the two children were not paying attention. Of course, the main person to be on guard against was Chen Dabao, because he was not as honest as Chu Hanyan. He kept looking down at the book in his hand, but would look up at them from time to time.

Little Miss Chu's biological clock is very accurate, and her eyes will become sleepy as soon as Xu time arrives. Chu Lingxuan had no choice but to stand up and say, "Daughter, it's time to go home and rest."

Chu Hanyan pouted and said coquettishly, "Dad, you can go home and rest by yourself. You sleep alone anyway. My sister likes to sleep with her aunt, who smells so good."

What the little girl said was unintentional, but Chu Lingxuan thought of another side. Especially when I heard the words "Auntie Xiangxiang", my heart was throbbing. After waiting for more than two months, he will no longer sleep alone. The sweet-smelling person next to his daughter will sleep next to him...

He smiled good-naturedly and said, "Okay, if my daughter wants to be with her aunt, let's do it together."

Chen Afu was still a little depressed. After finally waiting for him to come back, he thought that he, a full day care teacher, could take a vacation, but it turned out that he still couldn't take a vacation. The father and daughter simply ate her up.

The next day, Chu Lingxuan even came to Fuyuan for breakfast. Today is New Year's Eve, and Chen Afu and Dabao will go to the big room for a family reunion dinner. At the beginning of noon, the Chu family father and daughter returned to Tangyuan and agreed to go to Luyuan for New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon.

Chen Ming's family of three went to the village first because they wanted to worship their ancestors.

Chen Afu, mother and son, Xue Dagui and Qiuyue, who were carrying gifts, went to the big room together.

Dabao, Dahu and Daya were playing in the yard, while Chen Afu went to the room to talk to Chen Aman. Since Chen Aman got engaged to Yang Mingyuan, Chen Shi and his wife stopped letting her work and even bought her a little girl.

Mrs. Hu said sourly, "Hey, both girls have become young mistresses, so they don't have to work anymore. Poor my Aju, she is also a girl from the Chen family, but she has a hard life. Hey, my head has been raising children since he was young. Brother, he has not read well and can only dig food in the soil. This not only delays him, but also misses his son and daughter..."

Her physical illness was cured, but her old habits recurred. A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. This saying is true.

Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye were not in a good mood to begin with, and they felt even sadder after hearing what she said. What he said revealed that both his brothers had made a fortune, and their descendants were all prosperous. His own family had been left too far behind by his brothers.

At the dinner table, the drunk Chen Ye cried. When Mrs. Chen saw her eldest son crying, she wiped her tears with her sleeves. Then, both Hu and Chen Aju started to cry.

Not suffering from poverty but from inequality is vividly reflected in the three brothers of the Chen family.

Seeing their powerful eldest brother crying in public, Chen Ming and Chen Shi were also sad. They quickly said that they always remembered how good their eldest brother was to them in the past, and they would never forget his kindness in their lives.

Chen Agui also advised, "Mom and dad, please don't be sad. Sister Afu gave us good seeds, and I will take good care of the crops. If I have more money, I can buy more land and become a big landowner, so that my sister can marry into a good family." Mom and Dad live a good life.”

Mrs. Hu cried, "When you become a big landowner, your sister will become an old girl, and the day lilies will be cold."

Chen Ming and Chen Shi also promised that each of the two families would give fifty taels of silver to buy land for the big family. In addition to the 90 taels of silver from Dafang's dividend this time and the 40 taels of silver given to Dafang two days ago, we can buy more than 40 acres of land.

Dafang used to have twenty-five acres of land. Later, Dafang earned some money growing watermelons and added some money to buy twenty acres of land. If we add the more than 40 acres of land we bought later, Dafang can be considered a small landlord, second only to Gao Lizheng in Xiangluo Village, and richer than Hu Laowu's family...

After everyone tried to persuade him, Chen Ye felt better.

The restaurant's shares were not divided equally, and Chen Afu was not allowed to contribute money. Mrs. Hu was still a little unhappy. But the man stopped crying, and she wisely stopped making trouble.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to make a fuss. She got up and went to her room to cry.

Mrs. Wang went over to persuade her, but she cried, "We don't dare to compete with your second wife. We just took the ninety taels of silver. This year, we only have the dividends of more than three hundred taels of silver, plus the monthly silver of my head. There is also the money earned from Lu Chuan, which is more than 500 taels of silver this year. This sounds like a lot, but we have to pay back the money I borrowed from my father when we bought the stock, and we also have to pay back the money to buy the yard, so there is only 2 taels left. It’s more than a hundred taels of silver. We have to live a happy life. My Aman is getting married in August, and I’m still thinking about buying her a decent dowry. Ayu is not young now, and I still need to save up a betrothal gift for him..."

Mrs. Wang could only say, "If you don't have enough money, my family can borrow some..."

Mrs. Zhang cried, "It used to be that I borrowed money to build their house, but now I borrow money to buy land for them. It used to be that Mrs. Hu was crying, but now it's their family who is crying..."

Chen Afu just lowered her head and ate without saying a word. She had given everything she deserved to her eldest brother, and she was already worthy of them. As for Chen Ming and Chen Shi wanting to be buns, there was nothing she could do.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. She gave seeds to Dafang and food formulas to Sanfang, all in the hope that they would make money through these and become independent. The only time I gave him for free was the 10% share of Dafang Restaurant. If I had known this, I shouldn't have given him even this share.

After dinner, the people in the second room returned to Luyuan. On the way, Dabao and Alu lured Xiao Shitou and other children to play outside Fuyuan because they had a lot of firecrackers.

When they approached Luyuan, they saw from a distance that Song's mother was holding Chu Hanyan's hand and standing at the gate of Tangyuan, looking out. Seeing that they were back, the little girl ran over happily.

Chen Ming felt that it was very pitiful for Wang Laowu to celebrate the New Year alone, so he asked someone to invite him over.

There was only one table in the living room. Chu Lingxuan had an unusual relationship with them now, so he ate at the same table as the Chen family. There were two tables set up in the sitting room. Several servants from Tangyuan, all the servants from Fuyuan and Luyuan, as well as Zeng Shuang and Wang Laowu who had rushed back, all ate here.
