After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 9 Fried Eggs

When I came back through, there was no sound in the yard anymore.

Guan Youshuang opened the curtains and looked out. It had already darkened.

She walked out and found a faint light coming from the main room.

Guanxia Valley has electricity, but Zhang Caihe is afraid of wasting electricity, so she won't turn it on unless she has to.

Guan Youshuang felt a little hungry.

No wonder, she was so busy choosing her dowry in the county today that she didn’t even have time to eat.

She walked into the main room and found the whole family eating around the table.

It was black and I had no idea what it was eating and I couldn't smell any fragrance.

"You still remember to get up?" Zhang Caihe said coldly, "You pretended to be dead while cooking, and couldn't be woken up even if you were called. Why are you getting up now? Why don't you just sleep till you die?"

"Oh, mom, don't be so angry, take care of yourself." Guan Lei said, "Sister didn't mean to not cook, she must be too tired today, right sister?"

In the original book, Guan Lei had never been so polite to the original body.

The reason why this happened today was, of course, because Guan Youshuang agreed to marry her in exchange, and she was afraid that her sister would suddenly change her mind.

Guan Youshuang didn't respond, but pulled a chair and sat down.

There was a large porcelain basin and a set of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

In order to save kerosene, every time after dinner, Zhang Caihe would ask Guan Youshuang to serve all the rice into a large porcelain bowl to avoid running around.

Guan Youshuang lifted the lid of the porcelain basin, and found that it was empty except for a little bit of batter soup left at the bottom of the basin.

Zhang Caihe glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? There's no food. If you were not so enthusiastic about eating, you would have starved to death in the production team."

"Youshuang, your mother is right. Be more active when eating next time." Guan Xingguo also said.

Guan Lei pushed her bowl over and said, "Sister, I've only had a few sips of soup. Let me pour you some."

"It's okay, just eat yours."

Guan Youshuang walked out of the main room, went into the kitchen, touched the switch cord, and turned on the 15-watt light bulb with a click.

Zhang Caihe came over like a madman, cursing, "What are you doing? Who told you to turn on the light? It's only a few hours now, why did you turn on the light? Do you know how much the electricity bill is for a month?"

As she spoke, she pulled the rope and prepared to turn off the light.

"I heard that turning it on and off consumes more electricity." Guan Youshuang said lightly.

Sure enough, Zhang Caihe was frightened and did not turn off the lights. Instead, she scolded her daughter with all kinds of ugly words.

Guan Youshuang didn't feel anything, but just felt that it was really noisy in her ears.

She poured a spoonful of water into the pot, then stuffed wheat straw into the stove, struck a match and turned on the fire.

"You want to cook?"

"Yeah, you didn't leave any food for me, I can't really starve, right?"

Guan Youshuang rummaged around and took out two eggs.

Zhang Caihe's face turned green.

She was just making noodle soup and she just beat an egg.

The four of them eat one, and she has to eat two?

Normally, her eldest daughter is so timid, but is she possessed by some evil spirit today? She is so bold.

She rushed over, picked up the eggs on the chopping board, and yelled, "I have no objection to you cooking, but you can't waste the eggs. There are only two hens in the family that lay eggs this year, you know that."

Guan Youshuang glanced at her mother coldly and picked up the egg box with one hand.

The egg box is made of solid wood and is quite heavy. Add to that dozens of eggs and there aren’t many people who can lift it alone.

Zhang Caihe was stunned.

"Mom, I advise you to think it through. I've been busy at home all these years, and I've suffered a lot, right? I'm getting married soon, and you'll ask for a lot of gifts. If you treat me well, I might still remember your kindness in raising me and take care of you in your old age. Otherwise..."

Guan Youshuang paused and said calmly, "Actually, I'm wondering, am I your biological child?"

Zhang Caihe opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.

The water boiled, and Guan Youshuang poked the stove with a stick. When the fire was low, she cracked two eggs.

Zhang Caihe felt that she suddenly had angina pectoris.

The door creaked open, and she turned around and saw Wang Yuetao coming in.

"Is his aunt here? Come in and sit down."

"No need." Wang Yuetao said coldly, "I came here to talk about Fengfeng's matter. The wound has been bandaged temporarily, but the hospital said that the child has a concussion and needs to go for a follow-up check next week. It cost 28 yuan today, you pay it first."

"2, 28 yuan, oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry to bother you, please go inside and sit for a while."

"Go get the money, I'm still busy."

Zhang Caihe was very angry. 28 yuan was only a few yuan of their annual income. The Zhao family gave half of it as a betrothal gift, but they all used it to pay off their bad debts. She gave the remaining hundred yuan, including her wallet, to her youngest daughter, so that she could buy the dowry she liked.

It’s all the eldest daughter’s fault for giving such wrong advice.

She returned to the house and wanted to scold Guan Ruijie, but considering that Wang Yuetao was still in the yard, she had to keep silent and kick her son hard.

"Leilei, how much money do you have left from your shopping today? Give it to me first. Fengfeng's mother is waiting outside." Zhang Caihe said in a low voice.

"Ah?" Guan Lei exclaimed, "I've spent it all. Let me talk to my aunt and ask her to give them a few days' grace. I'll send it to them after Zhao Yang and the others give the remaining half of the betrothal gifts."

"Oh, it's useless. She is still angry, and she said she will take Fengfeng for a follow-up check-up next week, and she will probably have to pay again. Do you have it?" Zhang Caihe asked Guan Xingguo who was chewing a dry steamed bun.

"I don't have any. You are in charge of the money."

"What a loser! Other men can earn hundreds of dollars by working outside. I think my whole family will just have to live on these few acres of land. I have a miserable life."

If you turn on the lights, you can definitely see how ugly Guan Xingguo's face is.

Guan Lei said quickly, "Mom, don't say that about Dad. It's not easy for him either. I'll go to Yuqin to borrow some. Tomorrow I'll go to the store to return the two blankets and then give them back to her. It'll be fine. Mom, don't get angry with yourself."

"The blanket is your wedding gift, how can you return it?"

"Oh, Mom, it's no big deal to have two blankets missing." Guan Lei patted her mother's hand and walked out.

Guan Youshuang served the poached eggs, found a white flour bun, soaked it in the poached eggs, and sat at the kitchen door, eating by herself, ignoring the sharp gaze that Wang Yuetao cast at her.

Guan Lei walked into the kitchen, picked up her apron, wrapped ten eggs, walked out and stuffed them into Wang Yuetao's hands, and said softly: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault that I was not at home in the afternoon and didn't take good care of Xiaojie, so he got into big trouble and made Fengfeng suffer.

"Take these eggs first and use them to nourish Fengfeng. Don't worry about the money. I'll send it to you tomorrow at the latest. I'll add two more yuan, so you'll be given 30 yuan. Is that okay with you?"
