Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 70 No, That's My Chicken

"Stop, you rebellious girl, you are not allowed to go."

Lan Qiyan turned around, still holding the kitchen knife in his hand, "Dad, what do you want to do? I'm very busy."

"There's not much food at home, but there's a chicken. You can take it back."

"Thank you, Dad. Second brother, go catch the chicken."

"Okay, mother."

"Do you know where it is?"

"I know mom, I found it by smelling it."

"Go ahead, honey."

Lan Cunliang twitched his lips, "You get along well with them?"

"Okay."

"Virtue, live your own life and don't cause trouble."

"You sound like a human being."

"Lan Qiyan."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand and said, "Okay, take care of yourself. I should go home now."

Yu Xiu was holding the chicken, and the three little guys also came back, looking a little flustered.

Lan Qiyan calmly prepared to go back with the children.

But he still took out four cabbages from the backpack and said, "This is for you."

Lan Cunliang snorted, "Four cabbages for a chicken, you're quite good at calculating."

Lan Qiyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "The gift is small but the sentiment is great. You should be content. Lan Xinyu didn't give you anything."

"Cunliang, that was the chicken I bought for Xiaobao, why did you give it to her?"

"Su Mei, she is a nuisance. Are you confused? She is capable of doing anything."

Li Sumei refused, "She's already married, not only does she not send anything home, but she takes things away. Why are you so partial? If she takes it away, what will Xiaobao eat?"

Lan Cunliang has been exhausted these past two days, and Li Sumei is relentless. One of them is crying while the other is listening to their conversation with her ears perked up. Why is his life so miserable?

"Mom, I think we should run away now, otherwise your stepmother will cause trouble."

"Let's go, she loves beeping the most."

"Lan Qiyan, stop right there." Li Sumei yelled.

"what?"

“That’s my chicken.”

Lan Qiyan pointed his finger and shushed, "Don't talk, this is my chicken."

Receiving his mother's gaze, Yu Xiu, holding the chicken, ran as fast as he could.

Li Sumei stamped her feet and said, "You'll die of hunger."

Lan Qiyan gave her a big smile. What a joke. Are they going to die of starvation?

It's not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth. I have to wait for it to grow back before I can eat it.

After leaving Taohua Village, Lan Qiyan kicked Yu Zhen's butt and said, "Tell me about it."

"What are you talking about, mother?"

"You three have diarrhea together? You think I'm easy to fool, don't you?"

"Mom, look at what you said. We didn't intend to lie to you. We just didn't know how to tell you."

"Tell me what you want, I can accept it."

Yu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, there is a bear in the Song family's cellar."

"What? That thing is raised by the Song family?"

"To be exact, it was Song Lian and his mother who raised him. We didn't find out the purpose of raising him because Song Lian's mother was alone at home."

Lan Qiyan seemed to have some clues, "The bear that Song Lian raised bit his stepfather to death."

"Stepfather?"

"Yes, you three weren't there, my father said it himself, Song Lian's mother ran to Taohua Village with the child in her arms.

Then my father introduced me to Song Wei, Song Lian’s stepfather.”

"I see. This means Song Wei has never seen the bear."

“Yu Zhen is right, and it is possible that this mother and son are just using Song Wei.

Song Lian's mother has not given birth to a second child for such a long time, only Song Lian herself.

It is obvious that she does not like Song Wei at all and only wants to use him to raise her own child."

Yu Xiu held the chicken, frowning, "Mom, Song Wei was taken advantage of. Song Lian just became a scholar, and he died."

"A typical example of killing the donkey after it has been unloaded."

Lan Qiyan was stunned.

The four brothers were also shocked.

Yu Xiu was smug, "How about that? I can also speak eloquently."

Lan Qiyan nodded and said, "Well said. Don't say it next time."

"Why? Mom, do you think you can't speak? Let me teach you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Mom, whatever you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Take the little hen and take it home to raise it."

"Okay, mother."

Lan Qiyan turned to look at the four children and said, "Analyze for me what the mother and son of the Song family want to do. Raising a blind bear in the cellar is very dangerous for the villagers."

"I don't think Song Lian's mother is afraid at all. She must have been raised since she was a child and recognizes people. As for what it did, I can't guess at the moment, because the bear didn't hurt other villagers except for killing Song Wei."

Lan Qiyan sighed, "Some things are beyond your reach. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. It's a waste of brainpower."

"I think the families living near the Song family may not be unaware of this. The bear can roar."

"Third brother, you are wrong. This thing is like raising a dog. If you raise it from a young age, it will be very obedient. If you don't let it bark, it won't bark."

"According to what Fourth Brother said, the mother and son of the Song family must have some unspeakable secret."

"Fifth brother has a point. Don't say it next time."

Yumian rolled his eyes at Yulin and said, "Listen, mother. Listen to what he said."

Lan Qiyan shook his head. "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Let's hurry up. It's too cold."

He doesn't think about things he can't figure out, and he doesn't do things he can't accomplish. Lan Qiyan is not that capable.

It’s good enough if I can manage three meals a day. Alas, this miserable life.

Looking at the second brother who knew nothing and the hungry mother who looked indifferent, the four brothers looked at each other. They were quite interested.

They hurried from Taohua Village to Yushi Village and arrived in half an hour. Lan Qiyan looked at the cold stove and knew that as long as they were not at home, her mother-in-law would not eat.

When Old Lady Yu saw that they all came back, she took out the black-faced steamed buns from the kitchen, boiled a pot of rice soup, fried the steamed buns, and stir-fried a pot of spinach.

The family gathered around the dinner table, and Yu Xiu told them what happened in Taohua Village.

Old Lady Yu slapped her thigh and said, "I forgot to tell you that three days from now, on November 28th, your eldest brother's Yu Jin will get married.

Yanyan, tell me whether we should go or not, after all, it has become like this."

Everyone at the table looked at Lan Qiyan. Lan Qiyan took a bite of spinach, his mouth full. "Go, how can I not go? Even if I break my bones, I still have tendons."

"Grandma, do we need any silver?"

"You can take something, or just give a few coins."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand and said, "Others charge three cents, but we charge five cents."

The family decided happily.

Liu Dani was dumbfounded. She took out five cents and seven people came and sat at the table.

But the standard price for a table of banquet was 15 cents, and Kui was dead.

She walked over with a dark face, "Mom, your eldest grandson is getting married, don't you want to give him something special?"

Old Lady Yu thought for a moment and said, "I wish my grandson will have a son soon, eight children in one litter. I hope you can become a nurse soon, and have many children and grandchildren."

Lan Qiyan supported his head with his elbows. His mother-in-law was very sensible and what she said was right.

This silver was all taken from Yu Zian by them. She was already giving him face by giving him five cents, but she still wanted more. She was so shameless.

As soon as Old Lady Yu finished speaking, everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

Liu Dani went back to the room angrily. This old man actually learned the blue fat man's tricks.

Wait until Yuze gets married and see how she takes revenge.
