Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: The Daughter Who Was Sold 10

”Is her family really poor? Otherwise, why would her parents trade her for food?”

”Yes, yes, food is not more important than a daughter. My sister at home is more important than both my brother and me.”

”Yeah, my dad hits me and my brother, but not my sister.”

”Zhongxin, did your sister’s biological parents truly abandon her?”

...

A group of kids were chattering non-stop.

Qian Zhongxin said, ”Yes, my sister’s biological parents are very bad. In their eyes, my sister is not even as important as a small sack of food. So, sister, from now on, just live peacefully at aunt’s house and don’t ever think about your biological parents again.”

Qian Zhongren: ”Yes, sister, your biological parents don’t value you, but we do. You’re the most important sister to us. Even if someone gave me a hundred sacks of food, I wouldn’t trade you.”

Qian Zhongde: ”Sister, from now on, consider my aunt and uncle as your parents. They are really good people, and they will definitely treat you very well.”

”Sister, if you need anything in the future, come to your brothers, and we will help you.”

”Sister, we will take good care of you. If you want to eat something, we’ll get it for you. The raspberries on the mountain have ripened, and I know a place that has lots of raspberries. I’ll take you there to pick them later.”

The three brothers surrounded Yuan Chun, chattering non-stop.

Yuan Chun somewhat regretted going up the mountain with a bunch of kids.

However, when she tasted the sweet and sour raspberries, Yuan Chun thought kids have their advantages, too.

That afternoon, Yuan Chun ate and played, gathered two baskets of pigweed, and earned two labor points. When she returned home, her foster parents praised her endlessly.

In the evening, while her foster mother was cooking, Yuan Chun secretly put two pounds of brown rice and two Revitalizing Pills into the pot, to give the Qian and Ge families a good supplement.

Tonight’s dinner was quite abundant, with chicken soup, spicy fried rabbit meat, stir-fried frog with chili, fried green beans, fried eggplant, fish and shrimp tofu stew; the tofu was bought from the village’s cooperative tofu workshop.

Ge Family Village is close to Hang City, and the village originally had several industries, including a tofu workshop, pig farms, chicken farms, and large vegetable gardens. But in the past two years, floods have submerged the crops.

Crop yields are low, and the tofu workshop is unable to procure soybeans and is almost closing down.

The chicken farm lost grains and vegetable leaves for feed, so the chickens were sold.

Only a pig farm remained, with dozens of pigs sustained by the village children collecting pigweed every day.

Before dinner, Qian Xiaoying took a small basket and went out.

Soon, she returned with a smile, and took out a bowl of stir-fried peanuts from the small basket, ”Aunt insisted on giving me a bowl of peanuts.”

”Haha, perfect, let’s use them as a snack with our drinks.”

Old Man Qian especially enjoyed peanuts with liquor.

Granny Qian glared at him, ”You old man, drink less, don’t embarrass yourself in front of our dear granddaughter.”

Old Man Qian, ”You old hag, I’m good with my liquor, I won’t act crazy.”

”Hmph, who was it that, when drunk, kept rambling about the past? I’ve heard your glorious tales eight hundred times.”

”Alright, alright, I’ll just have one cup.”

Even if he wanted to drink more, there wasn’t any.

Buying liquor over the past two years required tickets. Fortunately, he saved up some liquor back in the day, but he had to drink sparingly; otherwise, once it’s gone, it would be hard to get more.

The few of them, father-in-law and sons-in-law, drank until past nine before calling it a night.

Yuan Chun waited quietly until half past ten when her foster parents finally went to bed. She immediately cast a deep sleep command on them, then silently left Ge Family Village.
