I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 75 Heart-to-heart talk

He waved his hand and said, "No, eat whatever you want, we have plenty at home."

Yes, there are some; she only has three apples in her refrigerator.

If she had known she had transmigrated and been reborn, and that her family had come with her, and that the refrigerator had this copying function, she would have stored as much as possible.

……

The two went to a hot spring together, and their relationship progressed rapidly after this experience.

On her way back, Dongfang Jin dug up a lot of shepherd's purse in the valley, intending to make steamed buns to eat at home.

Since she had already been exposed to Gu Chenglin, she decided to stop hiding things and throw whatever she saw into her spatial storage.

They also brought in a lot of saplings, wild vegetables, wild onions, and chestnuts.

When the two returned home, Aunt Hui and Sister Xian had already prepared the meal: two kinds of flatbread, porridge, stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of pickles.

Dongfang Jin was speechless as she looked at them: "Aunt Hui, we shouldn't be so frugal in the future. Our health is severely depleted, and we must eat better."

Everything that's in the kitchen, we'll arrange to have in the future.

You, Sister Xian, Brother Qi Rui, the two children and me, including this big-breasted Gu Chenglin.

We are all outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

If you save money on food, but then get sick and need medicine, which do you think is more worthwhile?

After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, she pointed to the big basket and said, "Look, this is all food. Our family will never lack anything to eat in the future."

After hearing what she said, Jun Wenhui felt embarrassed.

"I... sigh, Sister Jin, I misunderstood."

Dongfang Jin looked at the three of them with a sincere expression: "That's right, our family sincerely welcomes you, Brother Qi Rui, and Sister Xian."

As you know, my family consists of only three people, including yours. I can afford to feed them.

Especially for the child Shi Tou, from now on he will have to study and will need extra meals.

From now on, each person will be guaranteed two eggs every morning.

At lunchtime, there should be at least four dishes: one main meat dish, one meat and vegetable dish, one vegetable dish, one cold dish, and one soup.

Evening is about the same as noon, and I'm worried we won't be able to make up for it.

"We'll leave the grocery shopping to Lin-ge for now. We'll grow vegetables in the backyard so we can have leafy greens even in winter."

Gu Jingye: "..." Our family of four plus their three, that's a total of seven people. If each person gets two eggs a day, that's... fourteen eggs.

The young lady said she bought a lot, two eggs for three coins, for fourteen people... Hmm, how much is that?

He stood with his hands behind his back, counting his fingers...

Dongfang Jin glanced at Gu Jingye. This kid… She narrowed her eyes and chuckled. From now on, when she cooks, she'll give each of them a big braised chicken leg in the morning.

Then tell him that this chicken leg costs one copper coin, haha... I'm really looking forward to seeing this kid's reaction.

Gu Chenglin watched his son and daughter-in-law's actions. When he saw the sly look in his daughter-in-law's eyes as she looked at his son, the dull pain he had felt before turned into amusement.

He also looked expectant.

Jun Qirui asked in surprise, "Is Sister Jin planning to set up a heated room?"

Dongfang Jin nodded: "Yes, there's one ready in the backyard now, but I'll take care of those flowers."

Your current responsibility is to teach the two children, while Aunt Hui and Sister Xian are in charge of the kitchen.

Lin and I are in charge of the outside work and making money.

Tomorrow at noon, Lin's childhood friend will be coming to our house for lunch, and Lin and I will go to the county early in the morning to buy supplies.

"Aunt Hui, you just need to take care of steaming the buns; I'll buy the rest in the county."

Jun Wenhui readily agreed: "Okay."

Jun Qixian said somewhat shyly in a low voice, "Jin-jie, could you get me some embroidery work?"

Dongfang Jin refused without even thinking: "No, embroidery is too hard on the eyes. I don't want your eyesight to deteriorate at such a young age. Think about it, what else do you like?"

Girls don't necessarily have to embroider, play musical instruments, or dance.

You can also do other things, such as baking, jewelry design, clothing design, and other handicrafts; these are all skills that girls should have.

Jun Wenhui looked disapproving: "Embroidery cultivates temperament; girls should be composed."

Embroidery is also a skill that allows a woman to make a living, okay? When a woman looks for a husband, the first thing her husband's family will look at is her embroidery skills.

Dongfang Jin disagreed somewhat: "I don't deny that, but isn't it enough that we know how to embroider?"

We don't make money from it, do we? Most importantly, it's genuinely bad for your eyes.

Jun Qixian's bright eyes sparkled: "Can I really do it?"

"What's wrong with doing this?"

Jun Qixian said excitedly, "I love designing jewelry and clothes that I like."

Jun Wenhui: "..." Never mind, she doesn't care anymore.

However, seeing her daughter so lively, she was finally able to relax.

It seems that some rules don't necessarily have to be followed; she certainly doesn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.

Jun Qirui: That's good, little sister. He thought to himself, and gave Dongfang Jin a grateful look.

Gu Caiwei raised her hand: "Little Aunt, like Aunt Xian, I also like to design jewelry and make clothes that I like."

Dongfang Jin gently pinched her little nose: "Hmm, not bad. As long as you and Aunt Xian like it, then we'll learn it."

Tomorrow I'll go to the fabric shop to buy fabric for you two. From now on, you two will be in charge of all the clothing for our family.

Jun Qixian and Gu Caiwei happily said, "Okay."

night

Gu Chenglin held Dongfang Jin in his arms and told her about his childhood friends.

Finally, Dongfang Jin said, "Since we've invited everyone, let's also invite the Lin family."

Gu Chenglin agreed, and then told her about Lin Yu's wife's background.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin asked in surprise, "You mean Lin Min was adopted?"

"Yes, when Uncle Shan was young, he was doing corvée labor and happened to be going to Fengtian, where winter comes early..."

As a result, he damaged his health and became unable to have children. Because of this, his other brothers took good care of him...

But if he wanted to marry a normal woman, no one would agree to it, and besides, doing *that* kind of thing is immoral.

Aunt Lin was sickly from a young age; if she had been in someone else's family, they probably would have given up on her long ago.

But her family had only had one daughter in three generations, and because of her, their generation also had daughters, so they were carefully raised...

It turns out that Lin Min's mother was her biological aunt, and from Yangjia'ao.

After Lin Min's aunt married You Shan.

Her family wanted Aunt Lin to adopt one of her two older brothers and two younger brothers.

Her eldest brother was the eldest son in the family, and it was impossible for him to give away a younger member of the family.

Since the third and fourth brothers had few children, they chose to stay at her second brother's house.

That is, the home of Lin Min's biological parents.

Lin Min has three older sisters, one younger sister, and two younger brothers.

After discussing it as a family, they decided to send the most honest Lin Min over.

Aunt Lin was a little angry because her family hadn't been able to send a son over, but she didn't know what to say.

Her parents also felt sorry for their daughter, so they arranged a marriage for Lin Min in Jing'an Town.

This family runs an oil-paper umbrella business in Jing'an Town, and the head of the family has a life-or-death friendship with the old man from the Yang family.

Unexpectedly, as the wedding date approached, the man took the initiative to break off the engagement, offering not only a shop as compensation but also one hundred taels of silver.

At that time, the old master of the Yang family was still alive, so Aunt Lin took Lin Min to her parents' home to question what exactly had happened.

It's no good when a woman is innocently jilted by her husband's family; it could even lead to someone's death.
