Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 342 - 340: Can They Have a Good Future
Once Grandpa Wang and his wife returned, the villagers who had good relations flocked to their home. π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
They surrounded the elderly couple with a barrage of questions.
Questions like what Capital City looks like, what its customs are, whether there are skyscrapers, and so on.
The old couple happily chatted with them, while Lin Xue took Zhang Yuan home to rest.
Fortunately, the two families were not far from each other, just a few miles, and the car ride was quick with just a press of the gas pedal.
The two greeted their grandparents and then went to rest.
Meanwhile, upon hearing their parents were back, Wang Junsheng and Wang Shusheng immediately dropped their farm tools and ran home.
When Li Xiuying finally freed herself from some old ladies, having made soup and meals for Lin Xue, she turned around to see her two daughters-in-law salivating behind her.
"Mom, what delicious food did you bring back from Capital City? It smells so good! Itβs perfect, Iβve called all the kids back!" Feng Minghua craned her neck to see, making Li Xiuying frown.
"You guys! Donβt even think about it! This is to nourish Xiao Xueβs body! Once Iβve served the meal and soup, then you two can cook!" Li Xiuying guarded the food and chicken soup in front of her.
"Mom, even though Cuihuaβs family is now thriving and has money, arenβt you still the real grandmother of the children? Why do you always favor outsiders? Xiao Xue can eat whatever she wants in Capital City, does she have to fight with her cousins for this little food?" Feng Minghua was displeased, what is this? There should be a limit to trying to please them, right? The elderly couple enjoyed themselves in Capital City for so long and now they come back to please that granddaughter! Are they planning to ignore their real sons and grandchildren and rely only on the younger sisterβs family forever? "No matter what, itβs your real grandson whoβs carrying on the Wang Family name! Donβt forget that!"
Those words were a bit harsh; Li Xiuyingβs face turned livid, though she had become tougher, she was still somewhat intimidated by this daughter-in-law.
"Shut up! Iβm just cooking a meal for my granddaughter, so what? Making such a fuss, get out of the way!" Li Xiuying spoke while pushing Feng Minghua, then she looked at Liu Lingling and asked, "What? You have a problem too?"
"Mom, what are you saying! How could I have any problem? Iβm just here to help you cook! Itβs been a long time; I came to check on you two!" Liu Lingling said, smiling as she took Li Xiuyingβs arm to please her.
"Ugh, they just like to act nice, I donβt believe you donβt have thoughts in your mind!" Feng Minghua glared.
"Xiao Xue is pregnant! This is made to nourish her body! So, what are you fighting for?" Li Xiuying, seeing Feng Minghua starting to provoke her younger sister-in-law, worried the two might fight, intervened.
"What? Pregnant?" Upon hearing this, Feng Minghuaβs eyes darted around, immediately calculating something.
"Mom, give it to me! Iβll deliver it to Xiao Xue! This child is really something; being pregnant and still running here to rest, why return home? No one lives there, the pots must be rusting?" she said, reaching to take the lunchboxes.
"No need! Iβll take it myself! You help Lingling with lunch! Weβre all eating at home at noon!" Li Xiuying dodged the hand, "I brought back plenty of delicious food from Capital City! Also, share some with the kids!"
After speaking, she went out, intending to deliver it herself before the children returned to Capital City, hoping to discuss the grandchildrenβs matters further, avoiding having the grandchildren dig in the fields.
Her daughter was so wealthy now; it made no sense not to share a bit with her brothers.
The old lady, after such a long ride, didnβt feel tired and went to the third brigade with a food container.
When Lin Xue and Zhang Yuan returned, the villagers eagerly welcomed them, marveling at their car.
The captain came over and talked for quite some time, though now the third brigade was wealthier than other brigades, they had only solved the issue of food and clothing.
To say they were prosperous would be an exaggeration.
"Captain, now speculation and profiteering crackdowns have eased, Capital City has already started allowing individuals to do business, you must seize the opportunity, the task of making our third brigade prosperous is heavy!" Lin Xue reminded the captain of the coming changes, urging him to grasp the timing.
"Ha! Wealth is a distant dream, as long as we can eat well, wear warm clothes, and not starve daily, thatβll be enough!" The captain shook his head, "We donβt dare dream of such good things! But is it true that Capital City has started allowing individual businesses?"
"Yes, really!" Lin Xue didnβt say much, only leaking some information she could.
Just as they were talking, Li Xiuying arrived with food.
"Sister-in-law is here?" Captain Wang had a familial connection to Grandpa Wang, so he greeted Li Xiuying as sister-in-law.
"Oh! Jianjun, I brought lunch for the two kids! You two chatting?" Li Xiuying spoke with a smile.
After living in Capital City for a while, she seemed to have become more articulate.
"Indeed, seeing them return, I just came over to chat! Listen to the Capital City stories!" Wang Jianjun stood up, "Alright, you guys eat, visit my place when you have time!"
"Join us for a meal, captain!" Lin Xue stood up to invite him.
"No, no! You eat! Iβm off!"
After escorting him out, Lin Xue looked at her grandma, feeling bad that at such an age she had walked over with food.
"Grandma, why did you come all this way? Hungry, we would surely go back to eat! I just wanted quiet, to rest here a bit!" Lin Xue felt heartache for her grandma walking such a distance to deliver food.
"Child, hurry and eat! You being hungry is fine, but the one in your belly must not starve! Come, Xiao Yuan! Eat together! Thereβs plenty!"
"Thank you, grandma!" Zhang Yuan took the lunch box from her hand.
"Letβs eat together! Later weβll take you back!" Lin Xue said, holding her grandmaβs arm.
The old lady didnβt refuse; she had cooked enough for three or four people, intending to eat with them and then discuss the grandchildrenβs matters.
Once the dishes were on the table, Li Xiuying served Lin Xue a bowl of chicken soup, "Xiao Xue, nourish yourself! You havenβt had chicken soup along the way; today, drink a couple of bowls!"
"Grandma, I... I donβt want soup! Iβll eat first!" Lin Xue truly had enough of it; she didnβt want it.
"Alright, alright, eat and drink while you eat!" As the three ate, Li Xiuying couldnβt help but look at Zhang Yuan and speak with a smile.
"Xiao Yuan, you see, how are your cousins? Each is strong and healthy, right?"
Lin Xue felt a jolt; did grandma have a motive for bringing this meal?
She didnβt want to think of her grandma as complicated, but felt something had changed; she wasnβt the loving grandma solely focused on them anymore.
Her heart was still leaning towards her sons, regardless of how much the sons and daughters-in-law did wrong; wasnβt it the grandchildren who continued the family line?
Zhang Yuan glanced at his wife, then chatted with Li Xiuying, seemingly unaware of her intentions.
"Yes! Theyβre all quite good!"
He usually spoke this way, cold and indifferent, so Li Xiuying didnβt mind, continuing with her topic.
"Such good kids, they havenβt been through much school; the familyβs conditions are poor, and Iβm afraid they might not have a good future!" She sighed, looking very worried.
