Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"You kid, what nonsense did you say? It's only been two or three days, and your aunt has already treated you badly."

Nian saw Liu Yu's face looking a little annoyed, and her eldest granddaughter's face also showing curiosity. After hearing his childish words, she felt angry and funny at the same time, so she couldn't help but say.

"No, my mother-in-law is still doing well. It's just that my uncle has been uncomfortable these past two days. Even a jar of turbid wine will cost a lot of money. I don't want to spend money to buy it!"

Hearing that it was because of his eldest son, Nian didn't have much to say.

"When your aunt comes over tomorrow, you can explain it clearly to her. This will save your aunt the trouble of preparing meat and vegetables in advance but not waiting for anyone!"

Regarding the matter of going to Da'er's house and returning home after three dynasties, Nian had nothing to do but told Liu Yu this one sentence.

"Hey! Got it."

Dinner was simple. Some leftovers from the dinner were cooked in one pot, and some green vegetables were added to make today's dinner.

After dinner, Nian packed a bag of red dates and brought brown sugar. Thinking that Li Dongsheng had given the gift but did not eat, he packed two bowls of flour and put them in the basket.

It was thirteen today, there was some moonlight, the ground was already dry, and the roads were familiar. Nian and Liu Fusheng went to the village, and everyone felt relieved.

Liu Yu burned the kang in the two rooms, and Liu Meixiang went to wash the pots and dishes. Changsheng's legs and feet were still not very flexible, so she played with Xiaoxue in the east room.

After a while, Liu Yu and Liu Meixiang settled their affairs. Liu Meixiang also boiled a pot of water and could wash up directly when the two elders came back.

At the moment, the three elders and the younger one are staying on the kang in the east room, chatting and waiting for the second elder to return home.

"Ayu, I have something to ask. Is it feasible for you and Changsheng to help me figure it out?"

Liu Meixiang hesitated for a long time, looked at the two people sitting at the kang table and played with their daughter with stones.

"Sister, just say it. As the saying goes, it's not feasible for one person to think short and two people to think long. Maybe we can work together."

The lights were dim, and there was hesitation between Liu Meixiang's brows. Liu Yu didn't know what her eldest sister was worried about, so she pretended to be relaxed.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Seeing her cousin and Changsheng looking over with concern, Liu Meixiang felt a little warm in her heart and said slowly.

It turned out that as soon as Liu Yu and Liu Shan left this afternoon, Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua came to the house with their grandchildren. When the ladies chatted about their daily life, they couldn't help but mention recent events at home.

Without any suspense, they talked about several businesses that Qiu Ri came to do at home. Liu Meixiang was very interested in the chestnut shortcakes that Nian and her third aunt talked about.

She is good at cooking and has many ideas. Chestnuts can be found at this time of year, but they are all frozen and rotten. If she wants to use them to make shortbread fillings, she will have to wait until next year.

There was a filling on the left and right side, but there were no chestnuts or anything else. It just changed the soup without changing the dressing, so she suggested trying a filling made of brown sugar and black sesame seeds.

Both of these things were available at home. Nian heard this with interest and immediately agreed.

The family is very familiar with the ingredients of shortbread, and soon the crusts of brown sugar shortbread and sesame shortbread were ready.

She had made sugar buns before, and the filling of the brown sugar shortbread was even simpler. Even though the sesame filling was a little more troublesome, it was pretty much the same, so she made it all.

The finished product of these two things is much sweeter and more delicious than Liu Meixiang imagined.

Thinking about her parents-in-law's character, Liu Meixiang felt uncertain. She didn't know how long she would stay at her parents' house. The Wu family didn't trust Wu Ping, and she and Xiaoxue didn't even care about them. It would be difficult for them to compromise.

"The Wu family is afraid that they want to take advantage of me. They think they won't come to pick us up. I'm thinking of making some shortbread cookies and we can sell them together. What do you think? Can we sell them?"

Liu Meixiang is very confident in the shortbread, but she is afraid that the diners will not buy it.

"Okay, this shortbread is so delicious. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The brown sugar filling is smooth and the sesame filling is even sweeter. I don't know about others. If I had some spare money, I would definitely buy one and a half."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Changsheng again.

Changsheng also nodded hurriedly: "Sister's cooking is really delicious. This thing won't go bad. Even if it can't be sold out for a while, we won't lose money."

Although Liu Meixiang knew that the two of them could comfort her, she felt more courageous after receiving the affirmation.

"Okay, eldest sister, get up early tomorrow. Do a little less first and see if you can sell it."

Liu Meixiang was very grateful to her grandfather, grandma, and cousin for taking her mother and daughter in. She decided that after making these two kinds of shortbread tomorrow, she would give Liu Yu and his wife a share.

Liu Yu and Changsheng hurriedly refused. They had some savings, although not much. From the current point of view, Liu Meixiang obviously needed more money.

"Listen to me, we will pay for this together. If it is profitable, we will divide it into three parts, one for grandma and grandma, one for me, and one for you and Changsheng."

"To be honest, I took advantage. There are four of you, and I'm the only one. I don't know if I can make money from this business, but the money coming out now is real money."

Seeing that Liu Yu and Chang Sheng were still refusing, Liu Meixiang frowned and said, "If you don't want to, just pretend that I haven't said anything about it."

"Sister, it's up to you." Seeing Liu Meixiang's insistence, Liu Yu nodded in agreement in order to reassure her.

Thinking that he needed capital for doing business, Liu Yu hurriedly went back to the house and took a bunch of money over, pushing it to Liu Meixiang: "This belongs to me and Changsheng, count it as capital."

Liu Meixiang counted fifty cash and came out, pushed the rest to Liu Yu, took out her own money bag, counted fifty cash in the same way, and found another money bag to put it in.

He said: "This hundred cents is the start-up capital for our shortbread business. It will come from here. The account will be divided every five days. We will not finish the distribution. We will leave one hundred cents in the account. What do you think?"

Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other and said with a smile: "Listen to eldest sister, this method is very good, just get out of this hundred coins."

After the matter was discussed, Liu Fusheng and Nian Shi also returned home with the chill of the night.

Liu Yu hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring water for the second elder to soak her hands and feet. She took the time to ask, "How is Grandma Li's health?"

"It's not good. I don't know if I can survive this year!"

Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard it, it was so bad!

"In the past few years, Nian Nian Gen was not very good, but he still managed to survive. I think it will be fine this time!"

Seeing that the two elders looked heavy and depressed, Liu Yu hurriedly comforted them.

"Hey, let's hope. He is so thin that there is only a handful of bones left. It looks quite sad. He held my hand and said that if he wasn't worried that Dongsheng would be alone, he would have swallowed his breath long ago."

Nian talked about what she had seen during her visit to Li's house, and perhaps she was getting older. In addition to pity for Grandma Li Dongsheng, who was about to die, she also felt sad that she was aging away.

Seeing that Nian's throat was choked with sobs, Liu Yu quickly changed the subject and talked about how she and her eldest sister Liu Meixiang were going to make shortbread together.

As expected, Nian and Liu Fusheng's attention was turned to Liu Meixiang. Seeing their eldest granddaughter nodding, they felt happy.

"This is a good thing. Although you are not born to the same parents, you are still biological siblings. You should support each other."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the two of them and said, "As long as we know this, it will be said that you set up the stall yourself, and your eldest sister will help you."

When Liu Yu and the others thought about it, they knew what the old lady was worried about. She was just afraid that the news would spread to the Wu family and the Wu family would cause trouble, so they hurriedly agreed.
