Yuan Chun glanced at her and said, "My two yuan didn’t just buy a chicken, but saved a lot of trouble."
Wang Cui didn’t understand, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"What else could it mean? Can’t your stupid brain think for a moment? Our family eats meat every day, isn’t it natural for people to wonder?"
"If I don’t spend money buying chickens a few more times in the village, how do you explain the aroma of meat wafting from our house every day?"
Yuan Chun glared at her disdainfully, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and tie the chickens to the tree trunk under the peach tree."
In the yard, there was a peach tree, at the base of which were two chickens tied up.
All purchased by Yuan Chun in the village.
No matter the size, each cost two yuan.
Wang Cui somewhat understood the meaning behind her mother-in-law’s words. She tied the chickens, then went to the kitchen to check the fire. In the pot was old hen stewed with radish soup, and two trays of steamed buns.
It was a rainy day, and drizzling rain had been falling all morning. All the villagers stayed home to rest, Daya, Erya, and Sanya went to their sister’s house to play.
Ma Xiangling and Dalin, Er Lin finished breakfast and then disappeared.
For lunch, it was Wang Cui alone cooking. She actually wanted to ask Qian Hongmei to help her with the fire, but Qian Hongmei was in the room mending clothes. Wang Cui didn’t dare go into her room to call her, afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law.
Yuan Chun didn’t go out today, just sitting under the eaves weaving a basket.
Ma Laoer was also under the eaves chopping firewood, neither of them dared slacking off with Yuan Chun watching them, both worked diligently.
At noon, the meal was ready, and the children along with Ma Xiangling returned home.
Ma Xiangling returned home, first cautiously glanced at her mother, then proactively helped her second sister-in-law with dishes and served sweet potato porridge.
After a period of discipline, Ma Xiangling had long transformed from a pampered daughter into a helpless figure. Wang Cui and Ma Laoer also changed from idlers to hardworking individuals, nobody dared to slack off, everyone lived watching Yuan Chun’s mood, fearing that she might slap or kick them if displeased.
Yuan Chun divided the meat, picked up her bowl, eating while telling Ma Xiangdong, "It’s almost time for school to start, I plan to send Daya and Erya to school. Girls cannot be illiterate, they need to learn how to read."
Daya looked delighted, "Grandma, can I really go to school?"
"You can. If grandma says you can go, you can go." Yuan Chun put down her bowl, looking guilty at her eldest granddaughter, said, "Daya, Erya, grandma wasn’t good before, was harsh to you sisters, didn’t let you go to school. Grandma was wrong, will treat you well in the future. As long as you study, grandma will support you."
Daya said happily, "Thank you, grandma, I will study hard, definitely score a hundred percent for grandma to see."
Erya also smiled and said, "Grandma, I won’t let your money go to waste, I will also score a hundred percent, make grandma proud."
Sanya said enviously, "Grandma, big sister and second sister are going to school, I want to go to school too." She didn’t want to do household chores at home.
These days, she’s getting overwhelmed.
Sanya pouted discontentedly.
Yuan Chun glanced at her and said, "You’re still young, wait till you’re older, then you’ll go to school."
Sanya bit her lip, "I’m not small anymore, grandma, I’m seven. Village chief’s Taohua went to school at seven."
Yuan Chun said indifferently, "I don’t care about other families’ children, but your big sister started school at ten, you must also start school at ten."
This ungrateful granddaughter, she wouldn’t pamper her.
