Transmigrating into a peasant family to fight against the best, leading my parents to earn gold and

Chapter 8: I'm not cooking anymore, I'm never cooking again!

Shen Xiaotang immediately explained to her parents, "Dad, Mom, this is ginger, but not fresh ginger. Look closely, fresh ginger is irregular and has many branches, but this is long and symmetrical."

"What kind of ginger is this?" both parents asked.

"This is turmeric. It can be eaten and used in medicine. Dad, take it to town tomorrow morning and ask the herbal medicine shops if they will buy it. If they will, ask what price they might offer."

Liu's hand holding the turmeric trembled slightly.

Can I sell it?

So, the eldest daughter-in-law's family can also have income?

Shen Qingchuan was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant. "Okay, Father will take you to town to ask tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yu, who was standing to the side, opened the green leaf package and saw the green fruit. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"Sister, what... what kind of fruit is this?"

Shen Xiaotang reached out and flicked her sister's nose, forgetting that her hands were dirty and got her sister's nose covered in dirt.

"These are green dates, they're crisp and delicious, Xiaoyu, try some."

She picked out the biggest one for her younger sister first, and then picked out two more big ones for her parents, one for each of them.

"Mom and Dad, hurry up and eat! What are you standing there for?" Seeing her parents staring blankly at the green dates, Shen Xiaotang couldn't help but remind them.

Unexpectedly, Liu's nose tingled, and she began to wipe away tears again.

"Tang'er, you are only six years old, yet you worry more than your parents. You went into such a dangerous wilderness to find wild fruit for your parents to eat. It must have been hard on you."

Mentioning this made Shen Qingchuan feel quite uncomfortable.

He reached out and patted his eldest daughter's head, his voice gentle, "Tang'er, having you is a blessing for your parents!" He then stuffed the wild fruit back into his eldest daughter's hand, "The mountain path is difficult to walk, and there are thorns everywhere. You must be very tired. I'm not hungry, so you should eat it quickly."

Shen Xiaotang knew that her father was just being considerate of her, reluctant to eat, and wanted her to eat more.

Sigh, aside from his poor judgment of character and his somewhat blind filial piety, Dad was very good to Mom and the two sisters. He was different from the mama's boys described online in my previous life.

If she guides him properly and makes him realize the truth, once the eldest branch of the family successfully separates from the rest of the family, she can then devise a plan and find a way to make money. She'll definitely live a better life than she does now!

"Dad, just try one. Of course, family members should share."

Shen Qingchuan, a grown man, finally ate the green dates his daughter had picked, his eyes reddening, chewing them slowly as if savoring ginseng fruit.

"Mmm, sweet. Tang'er's jujubes are so sweet!" Shen Qingchuan exclaimed in a deep voice.

"Right? I told you, these green dates are definitely sweet."

She loved to eat in her previous life.

Liu and Xiaoyu nibbled on the sweet treats, nodding in unison, "Yes, very sweet!"

Shen Xiaotang smiled slightly, picked up a piece of food with satisfaction, and took a bite. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed, and her face scrunched up.

"what--"

Why is it so sour?

These wild jujubes taste different from those sold in supermarkets!

Liu burst into laughter through her tears and immediately said, "It's not sour at all, Mother finds it very sweet."

Shen Qingchuan finally smiled and said, "That's right, Tang'er worked so hard to pick them, how could they be sour? We must eat them clean and not waste a single bit."

Shen Xiaotang was touched. She was blessed to have loving parents and an obedient younger sister!

After the group finished eating the sour green dates, Liu was troubled again.

"Tang'er, there's so much turmeric, we can't possibly carry it all. If your grandfather and stepmother see it, even if we sell it, they definitely won't allow us to keep any money for ourselves."

Shen Qingchuan fell silent!

He used to think that a family should work together and help each other so that they could live a more prosperous life. But he and his wife were the only ones doing farm work. He longed day and night for his brothers to pass the imperial examinations and lead the family to a better life. But today, his daughter's words were a wake-up call. He realized that he was wrong!

He married late, lived for over twenty years, and had been married for five or six years, yet he didn't have a single penny of savings!

My daughter is right. The land and houses all belong to my maternal grandfather. If my father had honestly acted as his son-in-law, it would have been right for him to control the land and houses. But my father changed his surname back to Shen, married a stepmother, and had five more children. He had long since abandoned his status as a son-in-law and treated my son and daughter-in-law and their family harshly, letting a stepmother control the family property left by my maternal grandfather.

Tomorrow, he must find Mr. Lu and ask him clearly whether his father really ate the leftovers!

Although he already had a vague idea in his heart, his daughter was still young, and he needed to verify it further before he could be sure.

"While no one notices, let's wrap up the turmeric and hide it in the field. I'll come back to pick it up first thing tomorrow morning and take it to town to sell!"

Shen Xiaotang immediately exclaimed with delight, "Dad, you agree to let us hide money from each other?"

Shen Qingchuan pursed his lips and nodded, "You risked your life to get this from the mountains. Whether the herbal medicine shop accepts it or not, it should be up to you to decide."

He thought for a moment and then said, "You should get up early tomorrow and go with your father."

My daughter is a woman of her own mind; it would be good for her to go out into town and broaden her horizons.

"Really? I can go to town with Dad?"

“But if I don’t cook breakfast, my stepmother will definitely scold me again, which will make things difficult for my mother and sister.”

Shen Qingchuan's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "You cook every day but we still can't get enough to eat. I'm not cooking anymore, I won't cook anymore!"

Shen Xiaotang felt relieved. All her efforts today had not been in vain. At least her father had listened to her and changed his stance and attitude.

“Okay, I will definitely get up early tomorrow and go to town with Dad.”

Liu immediately said, "Then I will get up early tomorrow to cut pig feed, and I will cook the meal to save my stepmother from scolding and mocking me."

"Cut the pig feed as usual, and there's no need to cook rice anymore. If no one cooks, then everyone will go hungry. Tonight, grind some tofu and secretly keep some to take back to the room. Tomorrow morning, go to the chicken coop to feed the chickens and take two more eggs. Don't let anyone find out. You can just scald them with boiled water to drink."

Oh open!

Her father, when he was oblivious, was actually much smarter than her, and he even came up with the idea of ​​letting everyone else go hungry so that he wouldn't go hungry himself.

So good!

Liu was gentle and good-tempered, and usually willing to swallow her anger and suffer some losses, but since her husband had spoken today, she naturally had to listen to him!

"Okay, let's do it!"

So, the group put their heads together and secretly rewrapped the turmeric and hid it in the rice paddy.

The rice in the field had grown to knee height and was completely invisible from a distance, making it much safer than being under Sun's nose!

Shen family.

Sun, who had been lounging on the couch for half a day, waited and waited but her eldest son's family did not return. She could no longer lie there, so she got up, pushed open the door and went into the courtyard, her anger rising rapidly.

"What time is it? Why isn't the eldest son's lazy wife back yet?"

Sun, the second wife, went out to stretch her muscles and bones, patting her back.

"Mother, my sister-in-law must be shirking her duties. The sun is already past noon and she still hasn't come back. What are we going to eat if she doesn't come back?"

Shen Yinxiu said imperiously, "Grandma, can you hear the chickens clucking incessantly in the henhouse, and the pigs squealing loudly in the backyard? Are Aunt and Xiaotang about to quit?"

"They dare!"
