Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Buying Meat

The indentation had disappeared after Wang Di kicked up a fuss a few times.

Yu Nuannuan let out a sigh and withdrew her gaze.

She felt like she was just a hair’s breadth away from discovering Gu Mo’s secret, but in the end, she missed the chance.

But soon, Yu Nuannuan perked up again.

There’s still a long road ahead! She’d find out eventually!

After Gu Jiandong helped Wang Di into the house and closed the front gate behind them, Xu Shuhua simply headed toward the Yu family’s gate, saying as she walked, “Alright, alright, the show’s over. Let’s go home!”

Hearing Xu Shuhua’s words, everyone had complicated expressions.

Why did that sound so strange?

Who was really here to watch the excitement?

Led by Xu Shuhua, the Yu family returned home, closed the courtyard gate, and sat down in the main room.

Xu Shuhua took out the thick wad of cash from her pocket, placed it on the table, and swept her gaze over everyone’s faces. “So, what do you all think about this money?”

At her words, everyone hurriedly shook their heads. “No, no opinions!”

What opinions could they have?!

The jujube tree was Xu Shuhua’s idea to dig up, and the buyer was someone Yu Hai found from the county.

Besides, they hadn’t split up the family, and Xu Shuhua had always managed the family’s finances. Whether they had opinions or not, the money would never end up in their hands.

But whether the family was divided or not didn’t really matter.

Xu Shuhua was a bit partial to Nuanbao, but she’d never treated any of the six grandsons unfairly. With the money in Xu Shuhua’s hands, they had nothing to worry about.

Xu Shuhua was very satisfied with their response.

She wasn’t going to split the money among everyone, but since they’d earned so much, it was only right to improve the family meals a bit.

Xu Shuhua handed a large bill to Yu Jiang. “Eldest, go to the county and buy two jin of pork belly, and spend the rest on ribs. We’ll stew meat for lunch and let everyone eat their fill!”

Yu Jiang took the money, agreed loudly, and strode out the door.

Everyone in the house was beaming with joy.

They knew Xu Shuhua would never shortchange them.

Look, they were going to buy ten yuan’s worth of meat!

Wouldn’t that be enough for the whole family to eat their fill?

Some families in the village couldn’t even get enough to eat!

By comparison, it was obvious how good their lives were.

“Alright, you all should get back to whatever you were doing!”

Xu Shuhua waved at everyone, then stood up and left, carrying Nuanbao in her arms.

Yu Hai followed behind Xu Shuhua, helping her move the bamboo bed—which had been sitting in the sun—into the shade. “Mom, sit here, it’s nice and cool! The breeze today is really great, it’s not hot outside at all.”

Xu Shuhua gave Yu Hai a satisfied look.

This fourth son of hers, honestly, aside from being good-looking, obedient, and fathering Yu Nuannuan—the little fairy—he hadn’t had many strengths before.

But now, he’d become much more attentive!

Looks like having Yu Nuannuan, this little fairy, had made him a lot smarter!

Yu Nuannuan didn’t want to sit; sitting made her tired. After Xu Shuhua put her on the bamboo bed, she lay down, just able to see the jujube tree above her.

Without the red jujubes, the tree looked a bit plain.

Yu Nuannuan wiggled her little hand—she would never admit that her hands were itching and she really wanted to touch the jujube tree again.

The breeze gently brushed her face, the temperature was just right, and before long, Yu Nuannuan’s eyelids started to droop.

In the end, sleepiness won, and Yu Nuannuan drifted off into a deep sleep."
