Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824: 209: Transfer_3

Dream on!

The family was already living like this, yet Wu Jinshu stubbornly refused to marry off his daughter.

He didn’t even consider his own abilities.

Fortunately, she was still clear-headed and able to make decisions for the household; otherwise, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju would have dragged the whole family down!

Upon hearing this, Yan Erju’s expression darkened. Then she said, "Mom, are you hungry? I’ll go cook some dinner. Tonight we’ll have aromatic white rice." _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

In later generations, rice was a common food, but in this era, struggling families could hardly afford a meal of white rice. Yan Erju’s family normally only ate coarse rice.

Coarse rice, meant for feeding chickens and ducks, was hard and astringent, choking the throat and causing pain.

And even this coarse rice wasn’t enough to go around.

Grandmother Wu glanced at Yan Erju. "Where did the money come from to buy white rice?"

Yan Erju explained the situation to Grandmother Wu.

Grandmother Wu said, "Just a hundred yuan makes you this happy?"

Wu Yanyun could exchange for a small western-style house plus two thousand yuan! How happy would Yan Erju be then?

After Grandmother Wu left, Yan Erju tugged at Wu Jinshu’s sleeve, "Why do I feel like Mom was a bit strange today? She didn’t even care about a hundred yuan. If others heard, they might think our family is rich!"

Wu Jinshu wasn’t concerned. "That’s just how my mom is, probably just in a bad mood today."

Yan Erju didn’t dwell on it and turned to Wu Yanyun, "Xiaoyun, go rest for a bit. I’ll make dinner today."

Wu Yanyun rolled up his sleeves. "Mom, you’ve been tired all day. Let me do it."

Yan Erju smiled and said, "Mom’s not tired. You, on the other hand, must have been really scared by that car just now. Go rest, you’ve been working hard these days too."

Unable to argue with Yan Erju, Wu Yanyun reluctantly went to his room to rest.

That evening, Yan Erju steamed a large pot of rice, and also fried a plate of sesame oil vegetables and cooked a big bowl of sesame oil egg soup. The children ate very happily.

Wu Yanyun also unusually had a full meal that shocked him, especially since Grandmother Wu didn’t give him any looks during the meal.

He felt surprised and somewhat pleased.
