Nier quickly added, "This is specially selected for mother. Each of us can make a new dress with these materials. Mother, thank you for your hard work these days."

Ni'er described the origin of the silver ingots and materials in vivid detail. Yan Zi and Niu Li were so fascinated by her that they even forgot to cook in the kitchen.

Until you smell a burnt smell.

Niu Li wrinkled his nose and said, "Mom, there is a burnt smell in the kitchen."

Lao San and Yan Zi quickly ran to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. They found that the porridge had turned into rice and the water inside had completely boiled away.

The burnt and inedible parts were thrown away, and there was still a layer of golden, crispy and fragrant rice crust, which was shared by several people.

The third brother, who rarely went to the town before, goes there every day in the past few days. People in the village are very curious.

Old Mrs. Niu was even more curious. How could they afford to go to town every day? It cost two cents for each person to go there and back, and the fare was also a considerable expense.

Besides, you don’t have to go shopping every day, once a month is enough. The old lady who has nothing to do at home is thinking about this all day long.

She wanted to go to their house, but she was still frightened by the fact that she almost died at the hands of a wolf last time.

Before the family split up, I didn't realize that the third brother's family was so wasteful. It was better for me to manage the money myself so that the whole family could have food to eat. After the family split up, they spend money like this, and they will have nothing to eat tomorrow.

I heard from the gossiping aunts and uncles in the village that the third brother and Ni'er carry several buckets every day, and no one knows what is in them. They don't plant the land well, and there is no harvest in the autumn. They will have to borrow food from themselves.

Touching the cabinet where grain is usually stored, it is like one's own life. It cannot be lent out. It is better to knock on their door and focus your mind on the right place. Don't always go to some town. The most important thing for farmers is to grow the land well.

Little did he know that the seedlings growing in the land allocated to the third son were much stronger than those in the land allocated to the eldest and second sons.

The more I thought about it, the more restless I became. It happened that my family didn't cook at noon and there was nothing to do. If I didn't go, I would be really uncomfortable.

The old lady went out and looked at the sky. The sun was shining directly on the ground. Although the third brother's house was on the edge of the village, people occasionally passed by.

An animal as cunning as a wolf would not come out at this time. Considering that the last time it happened was in the early morning when there were not many people around, it should be safer this time.

He went back to his room, paced for a few steps, and finally walked out and went to the third brother's house.

Whenever the old lady met someone who greeted her along the way, she would ignore them and act cool.

There are only a few new things happening in the village every year. This year, almost all of the new things happened in the old lady's home. She didn't want to get involved with others too much, so she walked with her eyes straight ahead, avoiding a lot of unnecessary communication.

When I arrived at the third brother's house, I actually smelled the fragrance of rice. Few people in the village eat lunch. They only eat breakfast and dinner. Only those who are a little richer or who don't care about having no food to eat after the previous meal will eat lunch.

When he got closer and smelled it, he found that the smell was coming from the third brother's house. He was immediately furious and knew that it was a disaster for the food.

The last time Fugui came back and told me that the third brother and the others had meat for lunch, I thought they finally got to eat meat, so I added a meal to it at noon. I didn’t expect that they would have lunch every day.

My beloved grandson doesn’t even have three meals a day, but if they eat the food like this, it will be gone in two days.

Thinking of this, he walked to the door of the third brother's house. Niu Li had sharp eyes and immediately saw his grandmother standing outside the door.

Then he called out: "Milk~"

The family of four all looked outside the door. Swallow glanced at the place where the silver, money and clothing materials were placed, and saw that they were well hidden, so she felt relieved.

The third brother hurried out the door, "Mom, why are you here?"

The old lady glanced at the third child and said, "Why can't I come? Even if the family is divided, I am still your mother."

Yan Zi went out the door and said, "Mom, come in and sit down."

Although Ni'er didn't like her grandmother, she still had to save face, "Grandma, come in and have some food~"

The old lady said awkwardly, "I won't eat it. That's your family's food. If I want to eat it, I'll eat from my own family."

"I came here today to tell you that even if you divide the family property, you can't waste food like this. You can see which family eats three meals a day like this."

The third child couldn't listen any more, "Mom, since you said we have separated, this is our family's business, you don't need to worry about it."

"We will definitely not ask you to borrow food, please go back."

The old lady was choked by these words and was speechless. "Well, I thought you were filial before, but now you don't even listen to me. Remember your words and don't ask me to borrow food."

The third brother looked at the old lady steadily and said, "I won't lend it to you, and you don't have to ask me to lend it to you when the time comes."

The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed her index finger at the third child and said, "You... you are an unfilial son. Fine, I won't care about you borrowing food either."

He turned around and left quickly, but suddenly regretted what he had just said.

That little bastard actually said he would not lend me food. After all, I am his mother. He crawled out of my belly and grew up to this size. I have to contribute a lot to this.

It's wishful thinking that he won't lend me food. If I really ask him to lend me some, and he refuses, I will make a fuss and let the whole village know.

I went there with a lot of anger and came back with a lot of anger. This time I didn't take it out on the dogs on the road, and it's not like someone would come to help me every time.

I didn't look closely at their yard this time. There seemed to be a few barrels and a mill, but I couldn't figure out what they were used for, so I just left them alone.

Thinking of taking a walk to calm down, I decided not to go home and strolled to the fields.

Nier tugged at the third child's hand and said, "Don't be angry, Dad. Let's go back to the house and eat."

Niu Li also hurried forward and grabbed the other hand of the third brother, "The food should be cold."

Niu Laosan listened to the voices of the two little dumplings and held their little hands, "Dad is not angry, let's go back to the house to eat."

The third brother remembered that he didn’t go to the field in the morning, so he must go in the afternoon. Although the crops have been growing well in recent days, it always makes people feel at ease to take a look.

Recently, Ni'er has been thinking about going to Lijia Village to inquire about the school so that she can make preparations early.

He discussed with the three of them, "I want to go to Lijia Village this afternoon to see the school there. My younger brother is also old enough to go to school."

Niu Li knew that his family was saving money to buy a donkey. If he went to school, the tuition would not be cheap. Buying a donkey was more important. Besides, how many people in the village could afford to go to school? "Sister, let's save money to buy a donkey first. I don't really want to go to school."

Ni'er put down her chopsticks when she heard this, her face becoming more serious than ever, "Niu Li, do you really not want to go to school, or are you afraid that our family has no money?"
