Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 76: Snatching Food

His wife and son, who already had dinner, were snatching food at his second brother’s home. It was so embarrassing.

Xiao Mingyang entered the house and scolded, “What’s wrong with the two of you? Haven’t we already had dinner? Why are you stealing food from your second brother’s family?”

Liu Chunhua didn’t stop eating. She glared at her husband. “That’s because you have no idea how good of a cook second sister-in-law is.” Xiao Xiaohui also lifted his head to add, “Dad, the food here is really delicious. It’s better than the egg pancakes this morning!”

celery was already in Xiao Xiaohui’s mouth. He munched and said, “It’s all gone!”

Xiao Mingyang and his wife sighed. They looked at the empty plates and put down their chopsticks. Xiao Mingyang had to admit the dishes were delicious. He turned to Mother Xiao, “Second sister-in-law, your cooking skill is amazing. You have to teach Chunhua.” Or his family might come to their house every day to scrounge for food. His second sister-in-law’s cooking was simply irresistible.

Mother Xiao smiled. “My cooking skill hasn’t changed. I’ve merely used better ingredients.” However, Mother Xiao was puzzled.

The vegetables tasted good because they were part of the big vegetable harvest. Yu ‘Er said she had used special fertilizer on them. The fertilizer helped remove impurities and enhance the taste.

However, why did the meat also taste better than before?

The answer was in the water barrel. Mother Xiao cooked with normal water mixed with spring water, so the dishes were more fragrant. Mother Xiao said, “If you want, you can come over to eat anytime.”

Xiao Zhengming and his wife smiled and said, “Second Sister-in-law, how can we impose like that?”

“What are you saying? We’re brothers! You’re not imposing!” Father Xiao laughed.

“That’s right. We’re family.” Mother Xiao concurred.

“Second brother and sister, then I shall thank you in advance.” Xiao Mingyang said. It was too hard to refuse good food.

Then, Xiao Mingyang turned to Xiao Lingyu. He asked, “Yu ‘Er, what did you do in the county town today? Why did you come back so late?”

Xiao Lingyu admitted, “Fourth Uncle, I went to the county town city to look for a warehouse and buy a tricycle!”

Xiao Mingyang was confused, “Why do you need those things?”

Xiao Lingyu explained, “Fourth Uncle, I plan to be a vegetable vendor.”

“A vegetable vendor?” Xiao Mingyang and his wife were shocked. “Yu ‘Er, you’re not going back to the city?”

“No!” Xiao Lingyu shook her head. There was no point for her to return. She knew she was pregnant. It would be hard to find a job with a big belly. Plus, the city was not as peaceful as Taoyuan Village. Furthermore, she had to make use of the farming space.

Xiao Mingyang looked at his second brother and sister-in-law. He wanted to persuade Xiao Lingyu, but he swallowed his words. Xiao Lingyu must have thought this through before coming to this decision. His second brother and sister would have approved as well. So there was no point in him saying anything.

Therefore, Xiao Mingyang instead offered, “Yu ‘Er, if we can help you, don’t hesitate to ask!”

“Okay!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.

…

That night, Xiao Lingyu was about to enter the space when there was a knock on her door. Xiao Lingyu opened the door and saw her mother standing outside. “Mom!”

Mother Xiao walked in and asked, “Yu ‘Er, you said your friend will send the vegetables over tomorrow?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded, “Yes!”

“Then I’ll go to the county town with you tomorrow.” Mother Xiao’s tone didn’t allow for a refusal. Mother Xiao was worried about her daughter. It was one thing to go on a stroll in the county town. It was completely different to sell stuff there. She was worried about Xiao Lingyu going alone.

Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to nod. “Okay!”

“Then, you better go to bed now. You need to wake up early. Vegetables sell better in the morning. People will want the freshest vegetables!” Mother Xiao advised.

“Understood.”

After she confirmed Mother Xiao had left and wouldn’t return, Xiao Lingyu bolted the door and leaned against it. Soon she disappeared.

purchase. Who would buy from us then?” Mother Xiao rambled on.

When Xiao Lingyu needed university tuition, Mother Xiao tried to sell vegetables. However, Taoyuan Village was very remote. Even a trip to sell vegetables at the county town was quite taxing.
