Chapter 552: A Bumper Harvest, One-Pot Done!

f them told Jiahuan about sealing Funu as a princess. 。Jia Huan spent the whole afternoon working quietly. 。 She was worried that her mother-in-law might be mistreated at the Peng family, and als..."This child, where did she learn such strange words She dares to say anything!" Grandma Li scolded and slapped her granddaughter.

Jia Yin quickly stuck out her tongue and admitted her mistake, "Mom, I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense again!"

Li Laotai tugged her granddaughter's braid back, admonishing: "You are a girl, don't learn to be as slick-tongued as the boys.

"One more time, and I'll tell your mother to spank you!"

"Heh heh, got it, grandma." Jia Yin quickly changed the subject. "Grandma, just tell me, who made my second sister-in-law angry What if I get my nephew involved too I'll go find him and settle the score."

Li Laotai found it quite amusing. She continued to braid her hair and said, "Mr. Peng's new wife and his previous concubine who bore him a son are constantly quarreling. It so happened that your second sister-in-law went to the dining hall and was seen by the concubine's mother-in-law, who then dragged her home to settle the dispute."

“It’s hard to explain, but in the end your second sister-in-law became an outcast, both inside and outside the family. Your stepmother and concubines all blamed her. Your second sister-in-law was so angry that she felt pain in her stomach. It wasn't until your third sister-in-law waited impatiently and had Da Zhu’s daughter-in-law go pick her up that she found out about it.”

"Da Zhu's wife is sharp-tongued. She scolded both the concubine and stepmother. Your third aunt was afraid your second sister-in-law would get angry again in Lu'an, so she sent her back to stay for a while. Our village is quiet, and there are fewer people in our family. I and your mother can still take care of her food and drink."

Jia Yin only then learned the truth of the matter and couldn't help but say, “Grandma, look, a husband and wife are still better as the original match. A concubine is just a troublemaker. You have to be careful, my uncle, my father, and my older brother they all can't take concubines!”

"Pfft!" Tao Hongying came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of cold tea and sipping as she walked. Hearing this, she immediately sprayed the tea out of her mouth.

She reached out and patted her daughter, then turned her head to look for the broom!

Jia Yin jumped up and ran, disappearing into the backyard in a flash. She dashed into her room and bolted the door shut.

Tao Hong's anger wasn't palpable, nor was she frustrated. Complaining to her mother-in-law, she said, "Mother, this girl recently has been really asking for a beating. She just says anything that comes to mind! And her little brain... how does she understand everything!"

Li Lao coughed twice, wanting to add some fire but unwilling to let her granddaughter get beaten. She could only say: "That... Children have this stage when they're young, like they have a sharp mouth. This will pass in a few months! Don't be angry, I'll give Funiu a good talking-to another day, and she'll understand."

Tao Hongying choked back her words, but refused to believe it.

The mother-in-law dotes on her child so much, not to mention scolding him, it's already a good thing if she doesn't let her daughter take him to the countryside...

Jia Yin hid for a while. Seeing that her mother hadn't come after her, she quietly let out a breath of relief.

Perhaps she really is growing up, and she's slowly becoming more relaxed. She always speaks without thinking.

In the future, be careful, take things step by step, and gradually let the whole family accept that she is a child who is exceptionally smart. Treat her as half an adult!

For example, my uncle is doing well now. He knows to consult with her about everything that happens...

Grandma He was outside, measuring and cutting fabric for a dress with Shui Yun. They had received their share of fabric a few days ago and planned to make a set of autumn clothes.

Jia Yin poked her head out and whispered, "Grandma, you're busy. I'll go for a nap first. Remember, when my mother comes, don't open the door."

Grandma He and Shuiyun both couldn't help but laugh. Grandma He replied, "Miss, rest assured and sleep. When the Fourth Madam comes, I'll say that it's not good to beat children before bed, and if you must beat them, choose another time!"

Jia Yin immediately crumbled. "Grandma, actually the last sentence could be left out."

Grandma He and Shuiyun both burst into laughter.

Life was peaceful like water, everyone had their own things to do, fulfilling and busy.

The emerald cucumbers and golden gourds in the gourd garden had long been sold out, and even the melon fields of Dahuai Village, Dawangzhuang, and Xiaowangzhuang had become bald on top for middle-aged men.

The village head led the villagers busy pulling up the gourd seedlings, re-tilling the land, and planting cabbage and radishes. There were still two months before the frost, enough time to harvest another autumn crop.

Wait a few more days, the potato seedlings will wither, and it's time to harvest the potatoes.

Otherwise, after an autumn rain, the potatoes are prone to rot in the ground.

The corn is still diligently ripening, waiting for the autumn wind and the sun to work together to make it even more mature and robust. At least there's a month left before harvest...

The orchard on the mountain is now laden with fruit.

Fruit the size of fists, crowding out the leaves with no place to go. Some branches underneath have wooden props supporting them, lest the boughs be crushed and broken.

The fruits on the side facing the sun were slightly reddish from the heat, and looked delightful to behold.

There once was a mischievous boy in the village who, when the adults were away, stealthily picked one and took a big bite. In an instant, he was overwhelmed with sourness that made him question his life...

Jia Yin spent the afternoon learning needlework with Hui Niang. As a result, her dragon and phoenix twins probably got their teeth and had a slight fever.

She didn't want to cause trouble, so she went home.

When she saw the crops in the fields, she thought of cooking corn and steaming potatoes. With a bowl of chili stewed vegetables on top, such a dinner was simply too delicious.

Then, she secretly plucked some from the spatial field and started to prepare a pot of boiling water for Shuiyun.

Boil tender corn on the bottom, place a grate on top, cut potatoes in half, thin eggplants, tender green beans, and two handfuls of emerald-green bean pods onto the grate. Make a space in the middle to place a clay bowl.

A half bowl of farm sauce was poured into a pottery bowl, with three eggs beaten in. Chopped chili and chopped scallions were added, mixed well, then put into the pot.

Put the lid on the pot and press down with a heavy object.

But the little vegetable stand was a bit crooked, and there was a small brush used for scrubbing dishes underneath it...

A roaring fire heats the pot, white steam rises and slowly carries an indescribable fragrance.

At this moment, Jiayin squatted by the stove, drooling so much she could barely remember. She completely forgot about the havoc she had wreaked on the jar of sauce and all the vows she had made never to eat it again.

Just like someone on a diet, with delicious food in front of her, she chose to selectively forget...

Not only the onlookers, but also Wenjuan, who was pregnant at the time, had a heightened sense of smell and soon came over from the backyard.

"Funiu'er, what yummy treat are you secretly making again" Wenjuan pulled her younger sister's chubby hand and asked with a smile.

With her heart's desire, she truly hoped that the child in her belly would be a chubby little girl just like her niece.

First, the Li family is not short on sons.

Firstly, she's kind and beautiful. She's cute and endearing, making it hard not to like her.

Unfortunately, the gender of a child is a matter of fate. No one can tell whether it will be a boy or a girl until it's born.

And considering the numerous offspring in Lao Li's family, it's likely that the child in her womb is a boy. Alas...

When no one answered, Lao Tai Li, Tao Hongying, and He Mahma all came out to see what was happening.

Jia Yin giggled and ran to hug her grandmother's legs, quickly saying, "Grandma, I made potatoes and corn, but they weren't grown in our village field. They were brought back by Dong Mei from Zheng Jiazhuang. Let's help taste them first, and give some to my sister-in-law too!"

Li Laotai found it amusing and said, "Alright, if you want to eat it, just eat it. We're not afraid of the ones in our village fields either. Just tell the village chief, settle the bill first, and deduct the money from the year-end bonus."

Tao Hongying was about to speak when a series of rumbling horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the village.

Everyone was taken aback, then they all rushed out.r, the young master asked me to come back and deliver a message. 。The jade melon seeds at home, if they can be separated, give him some more. It would be best to also support a few people who are good...
