Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Kid is Missing_l

Translator: 549690339

It turned out that the gold mushrooms planted by Chief Chen’s youngest daughter-in-law were sold, more than three coins for fifty mushrooms.

More than three coins is equivalent to more than three thousand, which can buy six or seven stone of rice, enough for a family of five to eat for half a year.

Earned so easily in just over a month, without interfering with farm work — who wouldn’t want such a good deal?

So Han Miaoniang, Chief Chen’s second daughter-in-law, said to the four sisters-in-law, “These fifty mushrooms can be propagated, right? I don’t want much, just give me a hundred plants.”

The fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Shao, was of course unwilling, and went to complain to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Tang.

When Mrs. Tang heard it, she was furious, and came over to scold the second daughter-in-law, “How ruthless can your heart be, can’t you stand it if our mother and daughter are doing well?”

She was not the biological mother of Han Miaoniang, she was Chief Chen Fu’s second wife, and she had only one son, Chen Zhu, in her life, and a daughter who had already been married off.

But Chen Erlang and Chen Dayong were the sons of Chen Fu’s ex-wife, so the eldest and the second daughter-in-law always disdain this stepmother, sometimes even arguing with her, making the relationship between in-laws is not like it should be.

The second daughter-in-law sneered, “Listen to you talk, how come you can’t stand us prospering? Father didn’t say we can’t ask for the seeds of the gold mushrooms.”

When Mrs. Tang heard that, she was furious and immediately went to confront her husband.

“Tell me, aren’t those gold mushrooms given to your youngest daughter-in-law? Why does the eldest and second daughter-in-law also want to plant them?”

She is Chief Chen’s second wife, and she has only one son, Chen Silang, who was sent to enlist by Chief Chen, this is a heart-wrenching affair for her.

Joyful that the old man finally had a conscience and found a livelihood for the young daughter-in-law, the eldest and second daughters-in-law became jealous and caused problems incessantly.

Chief Chen took a sip from his tea bowl and said lightly, “What’s the big deal?

Chief Chen took a sip from his tea bowl and said lightly, “What’s the big deal? Those gold mushrooms have mycelium, right? It’s no problem to share a little.”

“What?”

Mrs. Tang sat on her chair, slapped her leg, and burst into tears, “You monster! I was blind to marry you! Oh my God, I can’t live anymore, do you Chen Family want to push us to death? My poor Chen Zhu, not only did he go to soldier for his nephews, his wife and children are also bullied at home.”

Chief Chen’s forehead veins jumped and he slapped the table in anger,

“Enough! Who’s bullying Chen Zhu’s wife and children?”

Mrs. Tang leaped up and pointed at Chief Chen Fu and cursed: “You old fool, saying they are not being bullied? As soon as Chen Zhu’s wife gets her hands on three coins, someone can’t stand her being better off. Is it that only the eldest and the second are your biological sons, and is Chen Zhu perhaps adopted?” “Nonsense!” Chen Fu was so angry that his beard trembled.”

At this moment, the second daughter-in-law, Han Miaoniang, cynically said from outside the window, “Whoever is oppressing should die immediately. Oh, only the youngest daughter-in-law has the right to plant the gold mushrooms, we don’t have the right?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs, Tang was enraged, picked up a vase and ran out of the house, throwing it at Han Miaoniang.

However, she used too much strength and threw the vase right over the low wall, almost hitting Chen Yin’s head in Chen Sanyou’s house next door.

Let’s not talk about the chaos in the house of Clan leader Chen, Li Dayong and his brother Li Eryong are overjoyed.

They planted a total of two hundred gold mushrooms and fifty snow mushrooms and made a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Fifteen taels, they had never been able to save that much after working for more than ten years.

“Brother, let’s plant four hundred this time.” Li Eryong held the silver ingot and could not bear to move his hand.

He had never touched a silver ingot in his life. He never expected he would one day own one himself, no, two silver ingots.

The blind old father asked, “Son, let daddy feel what silver feels like.” Li Eryong put the two silver ingots in his father’s hand, “Feel them.”

The old man Li, touching a big and a small silver ingot, burst into tears.

Li Dayong and Li Eryong, were taken back, and quickly asked, “Father, why are you crying?”

“Well, I can die happy now.”

Old man Li rubbed the silver with his old face and cried out, “It’s a pity that your mother died early. If she knew that one day her sons would be so successful, she would have held on for a few more years.”

Li Dayong and Li Eryong looked at each other, sighed, and told Old man Li,

“Dad, when we have planted the gold mushrooms, we want to go to North Mountain to pay our respects to mother and give her the good news.”

“Okay, let me come with you when that time comes.” Old Man Li wiped his eyes and said, “It’s been many years since I last saw your mother.”

Just after the Ghost Festival in July, the sow in the house of the eldest brother of the Jiang family gave birth to piglets.

The sow had given birth to eight piglets in one go, which greatly delighted Uncle Jiang.

“Erlang, Sanlang, when the time comes, each of you take one to raise. The rest will be sold.”

Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang both shook their heads, “No, we don’t have time to raise them.”

Their households were busy. Their children had to go to school; where would they find the spare time to raise pigs?

Uncle Jiang scratched his head and sighed, “In that case, give two to the boy on the South Slope to raise. By next New Year, they’ll be ready for slaughter. The rest can be sold once they’re a month old.”

Nowadays, everyone is busy trying to make big money, and no one has the time to raise pigs. The only one idle is Jiang Quan, who spends his days bird trapping and rabbit hunting.

Even Yingbao, who’s just over three years old, knows to plant golden ears to earn pocket money. Only that boy doesn’t have the sense, focused only on selling water chestnuts. He even claims that he just loves selling stuff and doesn’t like planting golden ears.

Now, aside from Yuanbao, Huzi, and the twins who are still clueless, even Dani and Erni have started planting golden ears and snow ears, saying that they want to earn their own money and spend it as they like, just like Yingbao does.

With time passing by swiftly, the piglets soon reached one month old.

The sow’s milk was abundant, and she raised the eight piglets into round and smooth bundles that were a joy to behold.

Among them, the happiest one was Wen Hengyin.

Every day he would secretly come over to feed the sow, Ahua, and seeing the suckling piglets under Ahua’s belly gave him great satisfaction.

But one day, when he came to feed them again, he found that two of the piglets were missing.

What happened?

Wen Hengyin hastily counted twice.

Indeed, two were missing.

“How are you taking care of them?” He couldn’t help but scold Ahua, “Two have gone missing and you don’t even know?”

Ahua let out a couple of grunts at him and lay there without paying him any attention.

Feeling frustrated, Wen Hengyin went home and had a sleepless night.

When he came to see the next day, there was only one piglet left under Ahua’s belly.

Wen Hengyin panicked and tried to grab the piglet, but to his surprise, Ahua jumped up and attacked him.

“Have you gone mad!”

Wen Hengyin could only retreat behind a wall, stomping his foot in annoyance but daring not to go back in.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He ran home and complained to his mother, “Mother, please go save your grandchild. It’s… it’s about to get stolen by someone. Wuu… wuu…”

Xiu Zhenniang’s hand, which was holding a pen, trembled as she asked, thinking she had misheard, “What did you say?”

“Your grandson is…is about to be stolen. Please go and buy it back…” Wen Hengyin sobbed, heartbroken.

He had worked so hard to raise the piglets, and now there was only one left.

He was sure that tomorrow, even this last one would be gone if he didn’t do something.

“My grandson?” Xiu Zhenniang’s face fell, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I…l’m not speaking nonsense. It’s true.” Wen Hengyin stuttered, “It… it’s in the… in the pigsty at Jiang’s.”

Xiu Zhenniang stood up, “Alright, lead me to take a look.”

So, mother and son went to the Jiang’s, beside the pigsty.

When Xiu Zhenniang saw her “grandson”, her expression was calm. She glanced at her son and asked, “Are you sure this is your child?”

Wen Hengyin nodded earnestly, recounted the events of that day, and defended himself at the end, “1…1 didn’t mean to…

Xiu Zhenniang’s mouth twitched, and she suppressed her laughter, saying only, “Then wait here, I will go buy it from the Jiang Family..”
