Chapter 64
After the sound of firecrackers ended, all the villagers stepped into the new house of Ning's family.

They were going to warm up others' houses, and they went to have a banquet by the way.

But it's not free, everyone didn't have empty hands, and they all brought something as gift money.

It's like this in the countryside. When anyone's family has a happy event, they have to invite the villagers, and the villagers have to bring some gift money when they go to the banquet.

This custom is actually the same in many places in modern times.

At this time, Father Ning and Uncle Ning were standing at the gate to entertain the folks.

Everyone handed over the things they brought to the two brothers before going to sit down.

Some are copper coins, and some are food.

It doesn't matter to the Ning family, it's like this when you go to other houses to eat banquets these days, everyone is poor.

Liu Qingshan also came over with two rabbits. Father Ning heard about his family's situation. Seeing such a big gift from the other party, he resolutely refused to accept it and told him to take it back and keep it for himself.

"Uncle Ning, Uncle Ning, I have hunted a lot of prey in the mountains these days, and there is no reason to refund the gift money from others."

The two brothers of the Ning family couldn't beat him, so they had to accept it in the end.

In the kitchen, Grandma Ning was busy with her two daughters-in-law and a few women from the village invited.

"Oh, Mrs. Ning, isn't your family too generous this time? Did you buy so much meat? There has never been a banquet with meat in the village. Now everyone will be very happy to see it."

One of the helping women looked at the big piece of flesh in her hand and shouted excitedly.

Grandma Ning is old and responsible for helping to choose dishes. Hearing this, she said modestly:
"It just looks big, and there won't be much for each table when we go to the table later. Don't be disgusted by then."

"How can I dislike it? I haven't tasted meat in almost a year. I didn't expect to have such a good fortune today."

Another aunt answered.

Although it is a polite word, it is also the truth.

Others followed suit:
"Who said it wasn't? I haven't tasted meat in a year or so, and I almost forgot what meat tastes like."

Because of this large piece of meat, the women were more motivated to work, and they waited for the banquet to be finished, so they could grab some more meat to eat.

Grandma Ning felt a little displeased when she heard it. We are all from the same village and have been with each other for decades. Didn't their family live like this before?
Now thanks to her little granddaughter, their family's life is getting better, but the villagers are still like that, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Then I thought of my granddaughter saying that she would sell some of the harvested chili seeds to the villagers.

At that time, I was actually a little bit reluctant, especially when I knew the price, but I still respected my granddaughter's idea.

But now that I think about it, if I sell it, I will sell it, so that everyone can live a better life.

Save like now, their family eats meat, but others can only smell it, and she feels uncomfortable.

If this time is long, something may happen again.

Especially Mrs. Li, she should be the last one in the whole family to sell chili seeds to the people in the village. Isn't it good for her family to monopolize it?

Now that it is distributed to others, how much money will be lost?

But now I feel better.

Forget it, since you are so miserable, and her eldest niece has found a new business for them, so don't bother with them.

Grandma Ning comforted her and said:
"Don't worry, when these batches of peppers are ripe, you will plant some more. When you sell them for money, are you afraid that you won't have money to buy meat?"

The eyes of several women lit up when they heard the words, and they all inquired curiously:
"Auntie, do you think this chili is really so profitable?"

Grandma Ning had no choice but to say politely: "Buying meat is definitely enough."

For a while, the kitchen was full of laughter and laughter, which had already spread to the banquet table in the yard.

Everyone was joking there.

"What kind of happy event happened in the kitchen? Laughing so loudly, don't let us eat it, those helpers ate it inside."

"Don't say it, it's really possible."

"Hahaha……"

The guests sitting outside also talked and laughed.

Kitchen.

"Grandma Ning, Auntie, and aunts, I'm here to help you too."

A thin voice came.

Everyone looked towards the door and saw Wang Xiaocao standing there.

Grandma Ning greeted: "Xiaocao, what can you do for a little girl, there are enough people here, you can go outside to play, the meeting will start soon."

Wang Xiaocao quickly knelt down to help Grandma Ning choose vegetables.

"Grandma Ning, I don't like to play, so I'm here to help you guys. I'm good at this, and I often do it at home."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little sympathetic to this girl. Everyone in Ningjia Village didn't know that Mrs. Wang's family was so patriarchal. They treated this granddaughter as a wrong person. She really ate less than a cat and did more than a cow.

But seeing that this girl has reached the age of marriage, I hope she can have a good life after she gets married.

Over here, Mrs. Wang sees that the feast is about to start, but the money-loser has gone somewhere, and she will be expected to help Xiaojin grab food after the meeting.

I had no choice but to curse and ran to find someone by myself, but I searched around the yard but found no one, but the people next to me seemed to see it over the kitchen.

Mrs. Wang was so angry, she ran to the stove and saw that the money-loser actually went to other people's house to help others.

"You lose money, are you a cheapie? You actually came to help others with work? Have you finished your own work? Or did his family pay you?"

Mrs. Wang's slap came too suddenly, and when everyone reacted, they saw that Wang Xiaocao, who was still joking with them just now, was already red and swollen.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang wanted to fight again, several people hurried forward to stop them, explaining:
"Aunt Wang, you misunderstood. Your Xiaocao just came to talk to us, and picked a few vegetables here by the way, and we are going to ask her to go back to the table."

Mrs. Wang couldn't listen to these words, and shouted directly to Grandma Ning:
"My Xiaocao works for your family, how do you calculate? I don't want the wages, you just give me a bowl of meat."

As soon as she came over just now, she saw a woman lying there, her eyes were full of light.

Her Xiaojin likes to eat meat the most, and she just saved a bowl for Xiaojin to eat when she goes back. As for now, of course, she will eat the meat at Ning's house before going back.

Everyone was speechless for a while, this is really shameless.

It was the first time Mother Ning had seen such a rascal shrew.

Suddenly, she realized that her stepmother's rank was nothing, at least her stepmother had a weakness because she wanted to save face, and she was invulnerable like this.

Mrs. Li said directly: "We dare not ask your granddaughter to work. We told her to leave as soon as she came. She insisted on staying. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

"Yes, yes, we didn't keep her."

Several other women testified.
