70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

"Of course not, I broke off the engagement with him!"

There was no sadness in Lu Chaoyan's eyes, but rather she was very happy.

"I asked him for 300 yuan in compensation and put it in the bank."

Lu Shuizhi stopped in surprise, "Really retreat?"

"Good job retreating!" Chen Shangjin from behind said, "Si Zhengyang, apart from his face, is not worthy of Third Sister in any way."

"Haha, big brother is still the best judge."

When Lu Chaoyan stepped through the gate, she turned around and looked at Chen Shangjin who was following them.

"Brother, there are rabbits over there where Han Qing lives. Let him catch two and skin them. We'll have braised rabbit meat for lunch."

"Don't skin the rabbit, we brought the meat."

After Chen Shang entered the yard, he took the basket of vegetables into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Lu Shuizhi pulled Lu Chaoyan into the west room. Lu Yuedan was worrying about the food. "Third sister, look, my eldest sister brought so much food."

“Wow, there are salted duck eggs!”

Lu Chaoyan looked at the things on the ground happily and secretly gave a thumbs up to Sister Lu.

She brought a basket of fresh eggs and a basket of salted duck eggs covered in red mud, no less than a hundred in number.

On the table next to them were dried mountain mushrooms, kudzu root powder, honey, processed gastrodia elata, dried red dates, and dried wolfberries.

There was also a sack of rice and a sack of flour on the ground, weighing fifty kilograms.

Lu Yuedan said that there were also two old ducks, three old hens and a goose that she kept in the backyard.

Lu Chaoyan looked at Lu Shuizhi and joked, "Sister, you have emptied the house."

"My second sister is back to recuperate after giving birth. How can I, as the eldest sister, let her down?"

Lu Shuizhi cleaned out the things in the cabinet and stuffed the things she brought into it one by one.

"These foods were bought by my parents-in-law. Please keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't end up in the mouths of outsiders."

Lu Chaoyan took out a few Gastrodia elata and a handful of mountain mushrooms, "Don't worry, with me here, Liu Zhibai won't be able to eat any of them."

Lu Shuizhi paused and stared at Lu Chaoyan suspiciously, feeling that she was different from before.

Become more lively and stronger.

Could it be that he was hit by the blow of breaking off the engagement?

"Are you really breaking off the engagement? Are you really letting go of Si Zhengyang?"

Facing Lu Shuizhi's suspicious eyes, Lu Chaoyan smiled frankly, and then saw that her elder sister's gaze turned into one of heartache.

She put away her smile and said seriously, "Don't worry, elder sister. I really don't like that scumbag Si Zhengyang anymore. In the future, my second sister and I will open a garment factory, make a lot of money, support a bunch of handsome guys, and satisfy our desire to be an emperor."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Shuizhi grabbed her ears and said, "Go help your eldest brother. I'll talk to your second sister."

"okay."

Lu Chaoyan went out with the Gastrodia elata in her hands, smiling.

In the kitchen, Chen Shangjin had already prepared the pheasant and stewed it in a ceramic pot.

Lu Chaoyan washed the Gastrodia elata and dried mountain mushrooms, soaked them in warm water, and waited for them to absorb enough water before putting them into the soup to better stew their medicinal effects.

"Wow, brother, why did you buy so much meat?"

Chen Shangjin was holding a piece of pork belly with fat and lean parts in his hand. It looked to weigh more than ten pounds. If he couldn't finish it in one meal, wouldn't it go bad if he left it for tomorrow?

Chen Shangjin seemed to see what she was thinking and said with a smile, "I have a way to keep this meat from going bad for a month. Light the fire."

"Row."

Lu Chaoyan sat behind the stove and started a fire, while Chen Shangjin cut out all the fat and put it in the pot to make oil.

Wait until the fat turns brown, then add the lean meat and stir-fry until there is no moisture left in the meat but only oil.

Pour the oil and meat into the oil pan.

"The meat is soaked in oil like this. When you eat, you pick the meat out with chopsticks and put it in the dish. The oil and the meat are both there, and it won't go bad."

"It's great, really great!" Lu Chaoyan gave a thumbs up. It's possible to play like this.

Next time she should buy more meat so that she can store it and have meat for every meal.

After a while, Lu Shuizhi also came and cut up the two grass carps skillfully, and did not forget to say to her sister,

"Go and call mom back. Your brother and I can handle the kitchen work."

It is now the first day of the dog days, the weather is very hot, and it is even hotter when cooking in the kitchen.

Lu Chaoyan knew that Lu Shuizhi urged her to leave because she felt sorry for her.

She went to the yard to pick up some unwanted wood and stuffed it into the stove so that it could burn a little longer.

After leaving, she went straight to the big mulberry tree mountain behind the silkworm farm, picked a basket of mulberries, and then returned to the silkworm farm to call Lu Xiang.

When Lu Xiang heard that her eldest daughter and her partner had come, she was really surprised. Her eldest daughter had not been back for five years.

Occasionally, when he had an affair, his eyes were full of resentment, which made her feel at a loss as to what to do.

After she followed Lu Chaoyan back, she heard the voices of her eldest daughter and son-in-law in the kitchen. After hesitating for a while, she went to the west room.

When she saw the eggs and food, her eyes suddenly became moist.

The eldest daughter is still the eldest daughter who only cares about her younger siblings.

"Mom, my elder sister and elder brother are here, you should go and see them." Lu Yuedan also knew about the knot between her mother and her elder sister.

But children cannot hold a grudge against their parents for their entire lives.

I hope my mother can admit her mistake, and I also hope my older sister and brother can let go of their resentment towards my mother.

Lu Xiang nodded, wiped away her tears, and went to the kitchen.

Looking at the busy eldest son-in-law and eldest daughter, he choked up and said, "Zhi'er, make progress."

Chen Shangjin was standing in front of the stove, cooking carp. He turned around and walked over happily, "Mom, you're back."

"Hey, I'm back. Go out and have a rest. I'll cook."

Lu Xiang was about to take the spatula from her son-in-law, but Chen Shangjin dodged her and said, "Mom, go take a rest. I'll do it."

Lu Shuizhi, who was standing aside, was making fish balls with her head down, and she didn't say a word. Lu Xiang looked at her cautiously, but when he saw that she ignored him, he could only leave in disappointment.

Lu Chaoyan saw all of this but didn't say anything.

In the original owner's memory, the scene of Lu Shuizhi's last return home is still vivid.

Lu Hanqing was sick, and Lu Shuizhi sent a basket of eggs. When Hu Li saw her, she insisted that she came back to seduce Tao Rui.

At that time, Lu Shuizhi was so angry that she wanted to hit Hu Li, but was stopped by Lu Xiang, who also gave the eggs to the pregnant Hu Li to eat.

Lu Shuizhi didn't expect that her mother would not help her and give her things to Hu Li. In anger, she smashed all the eggs in the basket.

Sixty eggs, with the yolks scattered all over the floor, made Lu Xiang furious.

She picked up a wooden stick and hit Lu Shuizhi hard on the shoulder, scolding her for being ungrateful and wasting things, and told her never to come back.

Chen Shangjin didn't come that day, and Lu Shuizhi was furious. She ran out of the Lu family, and on the way back, she fell and had a miscarriage.

From then on, Lu Shuizhi felt a thorn in her heart. She no longer cared about her mother and was only nice to her younger brothers and sisters.

After Lu Xiang left with tears in her eyes, Lu Chaoyan started making mulberry jam in the kitchen. She used a small white porcelain basin and the amount was not much, mainly for the purpose of teaching Lu Shuizhi.

"Big sister, our brigade is also making this jam. I heard that the supply is in short supply. You have more mulberries than our brigade. We can make a lot of money while it's hot now."

She knew from books that demand outstripped supply.

The book describes that Tao Yuwei saved more than 3,000 yuan just by selling jam, and lived a comfortable life with the money in the university with Si Zhengyang.
