Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum
Chapter 45 Taking stock of belongings
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
With the help of the two daughters-in-law, the meal was ready quickly.
There is a big round table in the house, which was built when Li Ming was alive. The family eats here every day.
The table has many signs of time. The old ones are obviously left by the three siblings of the Li family when they were children, while the new ones are made by the grandchildren who are at an active age.
Jiang Jiang sat in the main seat, and the others sat on either side of her.
There were nearly ten people in the family, filling the table.
This was the first time Jiang Jiang met everyone in his family.
The original owner and Li Ming had three children.
The eldest son is Li Xu, the second son is Li Sheng, and the youngest daughter is Li Cuicui.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Huang Ying, has been married into this family for ten years and has given birth to two children, Li Dongliang and Li Yuanchang.
The second daughter-in-law, Sun Qiaoqiao, had been married for eight years and had given birth to two daughters, Li Zhaodi and Li Pandi. Perhaps she had injured herself when giving birth to the second daughter, and it took her three years to get pregnant. She finally gave birth to a son and named him Li Laibao.
The youngest daughter in the family, Li Cuicui, is fifteen years old this year and has not yet met a husband.
When Li Ming died, Li Cuicui was only nine years old. Compared with her two grown-up brothers, the original owner was particularly partial to her.
Everyone in the family knows that no one should mess with this little aunt.
Huang Ying and Sun Qiaoqiao brought today’s vegetable porridge, stir-fried cabbage stalks, and cucumbers with garlic to the table and waited for Jiang Jiang to come and distribute the food.
Li Cuicui took the opportunity to push aside her nephews and nieces and sat next to Jiang Jiang. She looked Jiang Jiang carefully from left to right and up to down.
Jiang Jiang couldn't help but laugh a little, and opened his arms to let her check: "Have you seen enough? It's time to eat, how about we take a look at what to eat for lunch?"
Li Cuicui had no intention of joking with Jiang Jiang. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Jiang looked normal. She pulled Jiang Jiang's sleeve, pouted, and looked unhappy.
"Mom, I'm glad you're okay. We were all worried to death at that time. It's all my eldest brother's fault. He rushed to the front even though he couldn't win. The same goes for Li Changfeng. His eyesight is not good and he spread the news. And my second brother didn't pull us together..."
Jiang Jiang patted her hands and told her to stop talking. Didn’t she see that both of her brothers’ expressions looked strange?
"Alright, alright, mom is really fine. It's not mom who was injured today, it's your eldest brother. He has injuries on his head and arms. I don't know how long it will take for him to recover."
Jiang Jiang changed the subject. It was obviously Li Xu who was injured, but everyone came to care about her, even Li Xu. She really didn't know what to say.
The eldest daughter-in-law Huang Ying gave Li Xu an unpleasant look. Who told him to rush to the front like a fool? Did he ever consider that his two sons were nine years old and seven years old respectively? If anything happened to him, what would happen to her and her sons?
You still want her to be nice to you? No way.
The injured Li Xu sat in his seat. Although there were people around him, he felt lonely.
Jiang Jiang pretended not to hear Huang Ying's mumbling. She stood up and first stirred the pot twice with a spoon to mix the rice soup on the upper layer and the rice on the lower layer evenly.
Then she picked up everyone's bowl and gave each person a spoonful of porridge.
"Mom, there's too much in the bowl. Why don't you let brother eat more? If I had reacted faster this morning and held him more, nothing would have happened." Li Sheng was a little frightened when he saw that he had a full bowl of porridge. He wanted to pour some of his porridge into Li Xu's bowl.
The same thing happened to the second daughter-in-law, Sun Qiaoqiao, and her two daughters. Even if the original owner had not followed the example of the village mothers-in-law and deliberately only gave the top rice soup to her granddaughters, it would not have been like today, with everyone eating equally well.
Zhaodi and Pandi held their bowls tightly, staring at the porridge that was about to overflow, somewhat incredulous.
Seeing that Sun Qiaoqiao seemed to want to grab the bowls from the two children, Jiang Jiang couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily, "After what happened today, I understand that we are all a family. Living in peace and safety is the greatest happiness. Our family doesn't have the habit of only focusing on male children. Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, they are all children of my Li family."
Li Cuicui drank the porridge with a happy look on her face and nodded. Her mother was the best mother in the world.
Although her father died when she was young, her two brothers gave her the feeling of fatherly love, not to mention that all the children in the village envied her for having a mother who doted on them so much.
Seeing that Jiang Jiang had spoken, everyone below fell silent and lowered their heads to drink porridge in silence.
"Just drink the porridge? Eat the vegetables. Are these vegetables cooked for me to eat alone?"
Jiang Jiang looked at the children at home who all looked pale and thin, and thought that he had to find an opportunity to give everyone some nourishment.
Especially the second daughter-in-law's child, Li Laibao, who is three years old this year, cannot walk steadily and has been sick since childhood. Li Sheng and Sun Qiaoqiao are always worried that he will die young.
The original owner’s mission must not be missed.
After dinner, Jiang Jiang returned to his room.
The several tiled houses in the family were built when Li Ming was alive. He knew some carpentry skills and made furniture for the villagers during the slack season. He occasionally went out to do odd jobs and saved some money.
The family has ten acres of fertile land and sixteen acres of dry land, so there is always a lot of food left over every year. The brothers Li Xu and Li Sheng are not good at studying, so Li Ming thought it would be better to use the money to build a big house so that their descendants will have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the future.
When the house was being built, six rooms were constructed, which aroused the envy of the villagers.
The two brothers Li Xu and Li Sheng married good-looking wives, and it is hard to say that this has nothing to do with the big house.
Jiang Jiang lived in one room, Li Cuicui lived in one room, Li Xu and Huang Ying lived in one room, the two grown-up grandsons Li Dongliang and Li Changyuan lived in one room, the second son Li Sheng and Sun Qiaoqiao lived in one room with the youngest son Li Laibao, and even the two daughters Li Zhaodi and Li Pandi had a separate room.
There are exactly six rooms, so everyone has their own space.
Jiang Jiang walked around his room twice. The room was not big, with only a bed, a cabinet and a few benches.
Taking off the key hanging around his neck, Jiang Jiang opened the box beside the bed.
There were a few sets of clothes on the top. The material was good, but they were a little old. They were the dowry of the original owner when she got married in her youth. She was reluctant to wear them when she went to the fields, so she had to put them in a box and only wore them once in a while during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
After taking away a few pieces of clothes, Jiang Jiang reached out and touched a small box at the bottom.
found it.
The family has not been divided yet, and except for a little private money of each small family, the bulk of the money is with the original owner.
Jiang Jiang opened the small box, and found two small gold bars inside, three silver notes of one hundred taels underneath, and the rest of the scattered silver, which Jiang Jiang estimated to be about twenty taels, and the rest was a handful of copper coins.
Jiang Jiang put all the money in the small box into the space, which was the safest place. He only left one or two taels of silver and a handful of copper coins outside for show.
In this world, she has a full 1,000 cubic meters of space, and can continue her hoarding career.
In addition to the two small gold bars, there are now more than three hundred and twenty taels of silver in the house.
It may not seem like much, but for an ordinary family, it is already a very generous fortune.
Eighty taels could buy an acre of good farmland that could be passed down to the family, and twenty taels could feed a family of four for a year.
But that was for ordinary people. In ancient times when the gap between the rich and the poor was huge, the money spent on a meal by a wealthy family might be as much as an ordinary family's food and drink expenses for a month.
Survival and life are two different levels.
Jiang Jiang thought about the famine-fighting life that would come in a few months. Even if it was in ancient times, he would still have to work hard to make money.
