Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Alright, alright, the shrew is gone."

Fang Wei looked at the courtyard gate that He Xiaofang had slammed shut with a loud bang, sneered, and then rubbed Er Ya's head.

"That was a good idea to splash that water! If anyone ever dares to insult Mom or your sisters again, just splash them with water!"

"Daddy will cover for you after you break it!"

Er Ya was initially worried that Fang Wei would be angry, but upon hearing this, she immediately nodded vigorously with a grin.

Many adults in the village are so annoying; she's wanted to do this for a long time!

Hehe, so this is what it feels like to have a dad protecting you! It's so nice!

Wu Shaoli watched the father and son from the side, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.

"Don't spoil the child like that, or he'll become a bad person."

"How can this be considered spoiling a child?"

Fang Wei said matter-of-factly, "My daughter was being verbally abused to her face, can't I even let her fight back?"

Afraid that Wu Shaoli would continue to criticize him, he quickly changed the subject: "I'll go clean up the piglets right now, and we'll have a good meal today!"

After saying that, Fang Wei took the kitchen knife and walked towards the piglet, and with a swift stroke, he slaughtered the pig.

Upon seeing this, Wu Shaoli quickly went to the kitchen to get a basin to collect the pig's blood.

This is good stuff, we can't waste it.

Add some salt and let it sit for a while, and tomorrow it will be made into blood tofu, which is also a good dish to nourish the body.

Fang Wei worked quickly and efficiently, and soon he had burned the piglets' fur and cleaned them.

This little piglet is the strongest one, weighing about 30 pounds. It's round and plump with firm flesh.

He cut off about ten pounds of meat and set it aside, then cut all the pork belly into palm-sized thick pieces, and finally chopped the bones into several large sections.

"Wife, what do you want to do with this meat? As for the bones, let's make a vegetable soup."

Wu Shaoli nodded, feeling a little excited.

Since marrying into the Fang family, she hasn't had a chance to properly showcase her culinary skills. Now that she has both meat and vegetables, she can finally give it a try.

As for the piece of meat that was cut off separately, she didn't ask any further questions.

Fang Wei washed all the bloody water off the yard and then played with his daughters.

Soon, noises came from the kitchen.

Before long, a rich aroma of meat wafted out from under the door, and soon the entire main room was filled with this enticing fragrance.

Er Ya was playing with her younger sister, but after smelling the fragrance, she unconsciously stopped what she was doing.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the kitchen, her little nose twitching, and it looked like she was about to drool.

"Big sister...it smells so good..."

Sanya tugged at her older sister's sleeve, swallowing hard.

"Look at you, so greedy!"

Daya patted Third Sister on the head, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the kitchen.

In the end, the girls couldn't hold on any longer and all crowded to the kitchen doorway, leaning on the threshold and watching Wu Shaoli cook with longing eyes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't block your mothers from working!"

Fang Wei held Qi Ya in his arms, shooed the other girls aside, and leaned against the doorframe, staring at his wife.

"What are you all doing gathered here?"

Wu Shaoli tilted her head and glared at him. "If you're so bored, go move the table and set the table!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Fang Wei handed Qi Ya to Daya and went to set the table.

In less than an hour, the three dishes were served.

A large plate of stir-fried pork, glistening with oil, with large, thick chunks of meat, the fat dripping down the meat's texture.

A plate of steamed egg custard with minced meat, golden in color, looks as tender as tofu.

There was also a plate of bone and vegetable soup, which smelled delicious!

Er Ya and San Ya's eyes were glued to the pork, not moving an inch.

Daya hugged her younger sister and kept licking her lips.

It smells so good!

"Sit down, everyone!"

At Fang Wei's command, the girls immediately sat down obediently around the table, their eyes glued to the meat.

He first picked up his chopsticks and filled Wu Shaoli's bowl with a full bowl of meat, and then put several large pieces in each of his daughters' bowls.

"Alright, everyone, eat up! Today, our whole family is eating our fill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girls picked up their bowls and began to wolf down their food.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly! Nobody's going to take it from you!"

Seeing her daughters' expressions, Wu Shaoli said with heartache, "If you're not full, there's more in the kitchen! Don't rush, eat slowly!"

She cooked about a third of the meat Fang Wei gave her, which was more than enough for the whole family to eat to their hearts' content.

"You eat too."

Wu Shaoli also picked up a piece of meat and put it in Fang Wei's bowl, saying softly, "Don't just watch the children eat, I've made enough."

Fang Wei smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

The meal lasted for almost half an hour, and the three dishes on the table were completely eaten, not even a single vegetable leaf remained in the bone broth.

The girls, having eaten and drunk their fill, were too exhausted to move and could only lie in bed to digest their food.

Fang Wei looked at their bellies, which were bulging and round, like little frogs, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

After Wu Shaoli finished cleaning up the kitchen, he suddenly pulled her into the room.

What are you doing?

Wu Shaoli assumed he was full and wanted to do *that*, so she quickly refused, saying, "It's broad daylight, and the girls are all here!"

"what?"

Fang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then said, somewhat puzzled, "Wife, I was planning to talk to you about the old forest farm. What were you thinking?"

"..."

Wu Shaoli froze, then, realizing what was happening, said with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "Let's get down to business! What are you doing, sneaking around like that?!"

What was he doing acting suspiciously again?

Fang Wei smiled helplessly and got down to business: "Honey, I've been thinking about it these past few days, and I'm pretty sure that the old forest farm can't be run smoothly by the two of us alone."

"So I was thinking... why don't I spend some money and ask my older brother and sister-in-law for help?"

"..."

Wu Shaoli was taken aback by Fang Wei's words and frowned, asking, "Fang Wei, do you... remember what you did before?"

"That happened only a few years ago, do you think your older brother and sister-in-law will forgive you?"

"Still want to ask them for help? I'm afraid the moment you show up, your brother and sister-in-law will lock the door!"

"..."

Fang Wei remained silent for a moment, without saying anything in rebuttal.

He knew that Wu Shaoli was right.

But these past two days he's been thinking it over and over again, and he feels that at this stage, the only people he truly trusts in the whole village are his older brother and sister-in-law.
