The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

I glanced at the kitchen and didn't see my mother-in-law, but I still lowered my voice and said, "Brother, you know this is my mother-in-law's house. She is the boss. I have to let her know."

Of course, the boss nodded.

Meiyu went straight into the kitchen, "Mom, do we have enough food?"

He stopped what he was doing and glanced at the room where the eldest brother was staying with great displeasure, "Why is he coming to borrow food from you? How can you ask your married sister to borrow food..."

He wanted to say something but saw Meiyu making a shushing gesture, so he simply kept silent, stiffening his neck, "No, don't even think about it."

Meiyu naturally knew that her mother-in-law was just unwilling to lend it out, not that there was no money at home.

There was still food in the jar that her husband had bought, enough to last for a long time.

"Mom, listen to me."

"My eldest brother and his friends are also acquainted with the county magistrate. They thought that after the autumn harvest, they could send some fresh food over. After a few visits, they would become more familiar with each other."

"His family is short of food now. If we help them get through the current difficulties, they will definitely speak well of us in front of the county magistrate. Shuanzi will also have a backer. It is worthwhile to exchange food for him."

Hearing Meiyu say this, he suddenly changed his attitude and a smile appeared on his face. It was indeed very appropriate. At the same time, he felt a little jealous. How come one or two of them could know the highest official here? His sons were really disappointing.

But it's good enough that I know my daughter-in-law's family. This is many times better than other families.

He took a bag and walked towards the jar where the grain was stored. He opened the lid and was about to bend down to scoop it out when he stopped and turned to look at his daughter-in-law. "How much do you want to borrow?"

Meiyu forgot to ask just now, as she was calculating in her head what the appropriate amount would be. There were so many people in their family, it would be inappropriate to give less, after all, they still had to help with things.

Even if she gave more of her own food, she was not too rich, as most of it was saved by her husband with great effort. She felt a little distressed, pursed her lips, and looked at the food in the jar, feeling a little at a loss.

It was the mother-in-law who broke the silence first.

"Meiyu, how about 15 kilograms of food? We can't take out too much, and if it's too little, people might not help us."

"Talk to your eldest brother. This is our family's greatest sincerity. There are many families starving right now."

Meiyu felt that fifteen kilograms of food was enough, so she agreed with her mother-in-law.

The grandmother standing by the jar bent down, filled the cloth bag half full, took out a scale, and weighed it. "See, it's high, 15 jin, take it."

Meiyu took the cloth bag, looked at the remaining food in the jar, and sighed slightly.

The eldest brother sat on a chair, glancing from time to time at the room his younger sister had just entered. He was very nervous, not knowing how many kilograms he could carry.

I wonder if my mother-in-law will look down on me. Who cares? It doesn’t matter whether she looks up to me or not. As long as I can get food, it’s fine.

While I was thinking about this, Meiyu came in, said "Hey", raised her arms and puffed out her belly, and threw a big bag on the table, "Hey~ Brother, do you think these are enough?"

The boss stood up quickly, looked at the huge bag, picked it up with his hands, weighed it, and found it was quite heavy. His eyes lit up instantly, and his tone was full of surprise. He couldn't believe it, it was like pie in the sky, "This... How much is this?"

Meiyu saw her brother's expression and was infected by him. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha~15 kilograms."

The eldest brother thought that this was much more than 15 kilograms. He was the one who weighed almost everything in the house and his hands were very accurate. The number was definitely more than this.

I didn't expect that I would actually gain something today. My eyes were a little red. I finally don't have to go hungry. It's all because of my wife's good teaching. I must praise her a lot when I go back and say some nice things. Although I can't afford to give her anything as a gift, it's not bad to have a clever mouth.

"Okay, I'll take it. When I see the county magistrate, I'll find a chance to mention Shuanzi more."

Meiyu felt very relieved when she heard this. Her eyes had been fixed on the bag of grain, but now she felt much more at ease.

"By the way, big brother, wait a moment, I'll get you that box of things."

As he said this, he quickly walked into his room, picked up the exquisite box, opened the lid and took a deep breath, trying to retain the fragrance, then opened the mechanism on the lid to make the fish spin. He looked at it for a while, gritted his teeth, and put it in his pocket.

The eldest brother didn't understand why the girl had been gone for so long. He stared at the door, not knowing when she would come back, and felt a little restless.

The door curtain fluttered and Meiyu's figure appeared before his eyes.

She quickly stuffed something into the eldest brother's arms, stretched her neck to look at the kitchen, and lowered her voice, "Put it away, open it when you get back. It's for Miss Lin, don't let my mother-in-law see it."

The eldest brother quickly put it in his pocket and tidied his clothes. Grandma Meiyu came in and said, "The meal is ready. Come and eat. I made something simple. It's just simple food."

He was sweating from working so hard. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. His hands were shaking from nervousness. He probably didn't realize that he had accepted Meiyu's things. He continued, "I'm a farmer and I don't care about those things. It's good enough to have something to eat. I'm not picky."

I smelled a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. I pricked up my nose and sniffed it, making me feel even hungrier.

This is at someone else's house, I feel embarrassed to eat too much, but being able to fill my stomach is already good enough.

I saw dry food and vegetable soup on the table, which were much better than what I ate at home.

There were the sounds of footsteps outside the door.

Meiyu smiled and said, "This kid really knows how to keep track of time. He always comes back as soon as the meal is ready."

Before he finished speaking, a slightly childish voice came to his ears, "Mom, I'm hungry, and I came back because I smelled the food."

The eldest brother looked at the little boy at the door. He looked somewhat like himself and should be Shuanzi. It is said that nephews look like their uncles, and this is true.

When Shuanzi saw a stranger, he did not run in quickly as usual to pick up the pancake and start eating it. Instead, he felt a sense of closeness to the man as he looked at him.

Meiyu stretched out her hand and beckoned Shuanzi to come in, "This is your uncle, call someone."

Not timid at all, he shouted openly, "Uncle."

"Hey~" The eldest brother thought that as expected of a blood relative, this child looked promising.

"Come, sit down and eat." Grandma Meiyu asked Shuanzi to sit next to her.

But Shuanzi didn't go over. He moved the chair closer to his uncle and said, "I'll sit here."

Meiyu touched her son's head and said, "You can sit here, but you can't disturb your uncle's meal."

Shuanzi nodded and started eating quietly.

The eldest brother liked Shuanzi more and more the more he looked at him. He could tell from the way he ate and talked that he was a well-educated child, much better than Fugui.

"Uncle, after dinner, can you play with me?"
