"Mom, why are you still scooping out rice if we haven't just eaten? Mom's rice jar has bottomed out. We can no longer turn on the stove for my sister-in-law."

After Mrs. Mu came into the house after feeding the chickens, she saw her mother-in-law scooping half a scoop of brown rice, her tone mixed with dissatisfaction.

The three little ones in the family all ate wild vegetables and became mush, but sister-in-law Jin Gui felt it was too sticky for her throat, so she was the only one who ate brown rice porridge.

"You have rebelled against me, and you still have to take care of me. As long as I am breathing for a day, it will not be your turn to point fingers at this family. What my daughter spends on her food is not your second wife's money, but my mother's coffin book. I am happy to give it to you."

"Girl Flower"

Mrs. Liu gave Mrs. Mu a hard look, then pulled her aside and walked out with half a scoop of brown rice.

Second Sister-in-law Mu said that her mother-in-law was so angry that her heart ached, so she could only suppress her anger and sulk.

Kapok Erlihao felt moved by her mother's protection for her, and her nose felt sour.

Now that she has had a new core, she is no longer the original owner. The three little ones are all growing in size. How can she have the nerve to eat alone?

"Mom, if your health is not good, don't be busy. Go inside and have a rest. From now on, mom, please don't cook for me alone. I can just eat like everyone else."

Kapok saw her mother coming out and walked over, holding her mother's arm affectionately.

"Ahem, my daughter is sensible! Aren't you vomiting due to heat? We don't have mung beans at home, so my mother scooped half a scoop of rice and went to the next door to replace the mung beans, and boiled the mung bean water for you."

Mrs. Liu has always been devoted to her daughter's affairs and has never forgotten this incident.

"Sister-in-law Li brought you some brown rice and exchanged it for mung beans. Sister-in-law Li..."

"Hey! She's a big girl! How can we not prepare some mung beans at home when it's so hot! Isn't Fuya suffering from the heat? If Brother Mu is here, why can't your family live like this? You can't even have some mung beans.

I have to exchange it, I’m afraid it won’t be the only brown rice left at home.”

Sister-in-law Li took half a scoop of brown rice from the gap in the fence and did not forget to make some strange and derogatory remarks.

When Brother Mu was here, the three sons of the Mu family were all in good shape, capable of doing their jobs, living a good life, and the sons were all filial, unlike the two careless ones in her family.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Mu family was in dire straits, with two of their three sons disabled, and old brother Mu dying outside, he suddenly became stronger than the Mu family, and there was quite a feeling of a reborn serf who stopped singing.

Mrs. Liu's face sank, and she was about to choke out a few words when she coughed in anger.

"Aunt Li, I don't need you to worry about whether there is any surplus food in my family. If you have some leisure time, you should take care of your two good sons first. If you don't do business, you always think about stealing chickens and dogs. It's not too shameful to panic."

Kapok glared at Aunt Li, her little face puffed up and she choked back.

Her father's matter was a pain in her mother's heart that she didn't want to mention. Aunt Li deliberately arranged it to poke her mother's pain point, and she also poked Aunt Li's pain point politely.

Mrs. Liu's hands trembled when she saw Sister-in-law Li was so angry. She was so angry that she had to thank her daughter for her talkative style.

"Don't imitate good things and imitate bad things. Fuya, don't imitate your mother's talk. You may not get married if you are a bitch."

Sister-in-law Li turned around and poured back half a scoop of brown rice and scooped out some mung beans, just enough to cover the bottom of the gourd.

"It's not your turn to worry about whether my daughter will get married. I'm happy to keep her at home. You should worry about whether your two great sons will get a wife first."

Mrs. Liu's words went straight to the heart of Sister-in-law Li, making her fall backwards in anger.

"Aunt Li, your family only has mung beans. My mother gave you half a scoop of brown rice. Even if mung beans are more expensive than brown rice, half a scoop of brown rice can be exchanged for half a scoop of mung beans. If Aunt Li's house doesn't have enough mung beans, then we won't

Otherwise, your family is not the only one with mung beans in this village."

Kapok glanced at the pitifully few mung beans in the gourd and could count them.

"Sister-in-law Li, my daughter is right. If your mung beans are not enough, we won't replace them. Please give me back half a scoop of brown rice. You don't want to embarrass yourself to the village chief, cough cough."

Mrs. Liu echoed her daughter.

"Sister, what you brought me was half a scoop of brown rice. I couldn't see clearly because of my bad eyesight. There's no need to go to the village chief for such a trivial matter. You and Fuya wait, I'll go into the house and catch you again."

Here are two handfuls of mung beans.”

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said haha, she didn't expect that this lucky girl would follow her mother and it would be so difficult to fool her.

If the matter goes to the village chief, everyone in the village will know about it, so where can she put her old face?

Sister-in-law Li added two large handfuls of mung beans into the gourd gourd. She was very distressed. There were only so many mung beans left in the house. She was a good person and couldn't let old Mrs. Liu know that she was stingy.

“That’s pretty much it”

Grandma Liu saw that there was almost half a scoop of mung beans in the gourd, and then she pulled her daughter away with satisfaction.

"My daughter is still smart. It's a pity that some of the mung beans have sprouted. When I get home, my mother will pick them. If the sprouted ones can't be boiled, just feed them to the chickens."

"My mother fed the sprouted mung beans to the chickens in vain. This is a good thing. The resulting mung bean sprouts are delicious when fried."

Kapok quickly stopped her mother. Compared with the mushy wild vegetables, the green bean sprouts were not that delicious. She was so greedy that she was drooling. It would be even better if some pork belly was added!

"What are they? Mung bean sprouts. This is the first time I've heard of them. How did they grow?"

Grandma Liu heard that mung bean sprouts were strange, and she didn't think much about how her daughter could have bean sprouts.

After listening to her mother's words, Kapok knew that the country of Chu where she lived did not yet have the technology to grow mung bean sprouts. She was so blessed that growing mung bean sprouts was not difficult, as long as she had the skills. When the time came, she could cook them on a plate and everyone in the family would feel

If it’s delicious, isn’t this a business opportunity?

With this thought in mind, she quickly called to her mother, and together they picked out sprouted mung beans and put them in separate small pots. Daya saw them and came over to help, but there weren't many mung beans even though she didn't come. The three of them picked them quickly.

"My dear girl, I'm going to boil some mung bean water for you to drink. You wait for my mother to cook it and grow the mung bean sprouts together. Mom, let's see how these things grow."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu took the mung beans to boil water.

Kapok glanced at the mung bean sprouts in his hand and estimated that they were raw enough to fry a small plate.

Two old hens in the yard wandered under Kapok's feet at some point and pecked at the pebbles.

At this time, one of the old hens stuck out her buttocks and laid an egg on the ground. Three eggs were laid at once.

"Little aunt, the chicken is laying eggs, it's time to lay eggs."

Mu Daya excitedly pulled the corner of her little aunt's clothes and almost jumped with excitement.

Mu Daya's voice was a bit loud, which attracted the rest of the family.

"What? The chicken laid an egg. What's more, it's not just one egg, but three eggs. Mom must have fed the chicken well before she laid the eggs."

Sister-in-law Mu Er leaned over and picked up three eggs from under the chicken's buttocks and carefully held them in the palm of her hand.

It had been a long time since she had touched an egg, and looking at the three big round eggs she wanted to eat them alive.

She is so greedy.

"You can pull it off! You feed the chickens every day and they have laid eggs long ago. This hen is not laying eggs because of you. Don't put gold on your face, my second son."

As soon as Mrs. Liu washed the mung beans, added a few ladles of water and boiled them in the pot, she heard chickens laying eggs.

The hen has not laid eggs for five years, which is a strange thing for Lao Mu's family.

"Mom, why do you think this chicken suddenly laid eggs? What were you doing?"

Second Sister-in-law Mu is still a little unconvinced.
