The three of them entered the house. Yan Zi and Niu Li saw Niu Meiyu following in and their breath was held.

Yan Zi quickly took the bucket from Mei Yu's hand. It was indeed a bit heavy, so she bent down.

"Aunt, how come you have time to come here today?"

The third brother was dissatisfied when he saw that his younger sister actually gave the bucket to his pregnant wife.

Meiyu suddenly felt relaxed and stretched her sore arms. The smell of the food made her not pay attention to her sister-in-law's question. "You guys are going to eat at noon. It's true that things are different after the division of the family."

Nier tugged at the corner of Meiyu's clothes and said, "Aunt, let's eat together."

I had walked so far and was hungry, and it was my brother's house, so it would be a waste not to eat.

And I can’t leave until I get the tofu recipe.

However, I felt a little uncomfortable with the little girl in front of me. She was holding the corner of her clothes with her dirty hands. I wondered if she would be infected with bad luck.

I pulled out the corner of my clothes and stretched it out, and I felt much better.

The third brother walked to the water tank, pulled out the plug from the water pipe, and used the water flowing out to wash his hands and face. When he was done, he called the two people, "Wash your hands and come to eat."

Meiyu had never seen anything like this before, so she walked over curiously, looked around, squatted down and looked to the other side through the tube, but of course she could see nothing.

"How is this done?"

Nier answered while washing her hands, "We use bamboo to carry water from the mountain. It's very convenient to use."

The third brother said with relief: "It's all thanks to Ni'er."

Meiyu felt that her brother was really exaggerating. This kind of work was obviously done by adults, and children simply did not have the strength to do so.

It was probably done by someone else, and Xiao Ni helped a little, so the credit was given to her, making others think that she was not so unlucky. However, the habit of lying is not a good one.

"Third brother, you are such a joke. How can a little girl like her do such a thing? If you want to help her get rid of her unlucky status, you have to think of something that is suitable for her at her current age."

"It is said that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. What will we do if they learn to lie in the future?"

After hearing this, Nier felt more at ease, knowing that the food at home was still safe.

The third child looked at his sister who was washing her hands with complicated eyes, "It's really Ni'er..."

Meiyu took out a handkerchief, wiped the water off her hands, and interrupted directly, "Okay, it's not easy to be a parent. I always want to protect my children. I know this, but lying is not okay. Don't say it anymore, brother."

Nier noticed at a glance that the handkerchief did not match her outfit today. It looked very plain, but she had to use a handkerchief embroidered with red flowers.

I walked directly into the inner room and found the food on the kang. It was incredible. "How do you eat without a table or chair?"

Yan Zi saw that the third brother's face looked a little strange, so she hurried over to him, shook her head, and then walked to Mei Yu's side, "The house is small, and tables and chairs will not only cost money, but also won't fit in. Let's just make do with it for now."

Meiyu spoke in the tone of a master, "This house is a little small. I see you guys are selling that thing called... tofu recently. You should be making some money. You can build a bigger house now."

"I have to cross my legs even when eating, and the food feels like it's all tangled up in my stomach, which is not good for my stomach."

Ni'er felt that this sentence made a lot of sense. It was time to buy some tables, chairs and benches. Her mother was pregnant and must be uncomfortable lying on the kang. It was her fault that she didn't notice it.

After saying that, she ignored everyone else and found a place to sit down. That was where Yan Zi usually stayed. There was a quilt behind her to lean on, so a pregnant woman with a big belly could feel more comfortable sitting there.

Just as the third brother was about to say something, Yan Zi shook her head at him again.

I had no choice but to sit down, feeling angry.

Everyone took a pancake and drank wild vegetable soup. They had just eaten dumplings last night, so it was a good time to eat something vegetarian to clear their stomachs.

Nier was very glad that she didn't make braised pork today, otherwise she would have felt bad if she had given it to this cheap aunt.

While eating, Meiyu heard a clucking sound outside. The sharp-eared Meiyu immediately realized that since she had made enough money to buy hens, the tofu business must be good.

I took a closer look at the pancake in my hand, and found that there was no wild vegetables mixed in it. I haven't eaten this kind of pancake for a long time, and it really makes me miss it. I bit off half of it in one bite and felt that all the hard work along the way was worth it.

Nier saw her aunt eating happily, and was afraid that she would forget the important things, so she wanted to remind her, "Aunt, why are you free to come here today?"

Meiyu quickly broke away from the joy of eating cakes and remembered the purpose of coming here today. However, the tone of this little girl sounded strange, as if she didn't like her and wanted to drive her away. "Why, I can't come to my brother's house, you little girl, don't be so talkative."

Nier achieved her goal again. She secretly glanced at her father's expression and his face turned ashen.

The corners of her mouth turned downwards, but she was trying hard to pull them up, pretending to be very aggrieved but unable to show it in front of her father, "I didn't mean that, aunt~"

Meiyu acted like an elder and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you. Your father just told me that you made the hand-washing machine. You learned to lie at such a young age and even let adults help you lie."

"And you clearly meant it just now, but you said you didn't. This is not good behavior."

The third brother finally couldn't stand it anymore, "What on earth are you doing here?"

Niu Meiyu thought it was not good. If she made her brother angry, not only would she not get the food, but the tofu she made would also be wasted.

Putting on a smiling face, "Brother, I was just helping you educate your child. After all, I am also an elder, how can I watch her go astray."

The four members of the family all felt an indescribable disgust towards the person in front of them.

Yan Zi glanced at her aunt calmly and said, "That bamboo to collect water was indeed Ni Er's idea."

Meiyu just felt that this family was simply stubborn and how could a child like that possibly come up with such an idea, so she stopped talking.

But I can’t tell you the purpose of coming here now. If I really get the food, I may not be able to see how tofu is made, so now is not the right time.

Meiyu laughed and said, "It can't be that I miss you guys, I just came to see you~"

The four members of the family looked at each other, and no one exposed her. It was not reasonable to go to someone else's house empty-handed when visiting.

As soon as we got there, we had lunch. Many people starved to death these days, so no one would go to someone else's house to eat directly. Even if they happened to be there, they would make excuses.

He was sitting in the host's seat and didn't look like a guest at all.

In fact, they knew it all in their hearts, but as long as she didn't say anything, they wouldn't expose it. Now Ni'er is in charge of the money and food in the family, but when her aunt comes to borrow food, she has to do it for her father's sake. If she directly says no, it will hurt the harmony between the siblings. The best way is to let her father say he disagrees.
