Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 286 Homely Chat

An Yue took the opportunity to jump into the pit. She squatted in the pit and looked at the soil in the pit carefully.

An Yue found that the soil became moister the deeper they dug, so she planned to ask her uncle to dig deeper.

At this time, the grandmother stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull Anyue, smiling and saying, "Just let your uncle dig it, Yueyue, come up quickly."

"Okay, grandma." An Yue rubbed the mud on her fingers and found that the soil was becoming more and more moist. An Yue was in a very happy mood.

She followed her grandmother into the house, wiped her fingers briefly, sat down on the bench at the dining table, and asked in a low voice with some curiosity: "Grandma, my aunt is not at home?"

Grandma said unhappily, "Her family said they were worried that we wouldn't be able to take good care of her, so they said they would take her back to her family's house to raise her for two months."

An Yue remembered that An Nian happened to see her and her daughter in the town before, and she also happened to meet them the day before.

After thinking about it for a long time, I was very confused, so I decided to ask: "Grandma, since we returned to the An family, are my aunt and the baby in her belly all right?"

Grandma rolled her eyes and thought, "I never heard her say she felt unwell."

"Oh, that's good. Yueyue happened to see them mother and daughter in town the day before yesterday. And Nian Nian also met them once in town when she came back from school before."

After hearing this, my grandmother scratched her head and said, "Oh? Why are they going to town?"

An Yue shook her head and said, "At that time, it looked like they were holding medicine bags in their hands."

"Could something have happened?" Grandma muttered with a frown.

"At that time, I saw my aunt walking on the street with confidence, so I thought she should be fine." An Yue said thoughtfully.

Grandma waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about her. Yueyue, tell me quickly, how is the family doing these days? Is the girl you bought back diligent?"

Only then did An Yue remember the things she had brought from home for her grandmother.

She quickly untied the bundle on the table and said to her grandmother, "I don't know what Yueyue brought with her this time, so I just took a basket of duck eggs and a few pounds of food."

"Child, what are you bringing to grandma's house? Grandma won't be hungry for the time being. You and Niannian are still growing up, so just leave it for you two siblings to eat."

Although my grandmother was refusing, her lips were almost raised to her eyebrows.

An Yue smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Grandmother, you don't know that in addition to Chunzhi, Yueyue later went to the county town to buy two male servants to help with housework."

When my grandmother heard that he had bought more slaves, she was shocked and asked, "Oh, my God! You foolish girl, do you know what you and your brother will do if those male servants have bad intentions?"

An Yue took her grandmother's hand, patted it a few times and comforted her, "Don't worry, grandma. They are my right-hand men now. They work quickly and thoughtfully. You don't have to worry about anything."

After hearing what An Yue said, the expression on her grandmother's face eased: "If Yue Yue says so, that's great."

As soon as she finished speaking, the grandmother sighed again, "Alas! After you two siblings returned to the An family, there was no adult at home. First, the old house burned down, and then we bought barren hills and wasteland to build houses. You were the one who planned everything to make a living."

"Grandma is also busy and cannot get away for the moment. She has poultry and livestock at home, as well as your unkind aunt. I can't help you at all, and I always blame myself for this." Grandma said, slapping her thigh helplessly.

"Grandma, please don't blame yourself. After all, it's us who have a hard life. Besides, you see, we are doing well now! You, grandpa, and uncle can't take care of us forever, so we have to learn to grow up on our own, don't you agree?"

After hearing what An Yue said, the grandmother's frown gradually relaxed. She held An Yue's hand and smiled with relief: "Thank goodness our Yue Yue is capable. She can survive wherever she goes."

"Oh, by the way, Yueyue, sit here and wait." Grandma suddenly seemed to remember something, and she hurried into the room.

After a few breaths, grandma walked up to An Yue holding her piggy bank.

As she opened the piggy bank, she said, "I guess you don't have much money left, but grandma still has some."

After that, she poured out all the silver and money in the jar, pushed most of it in front of Anyue, and said with a kind smile: "Child, the drought is severe now, and food will naturally be much more expensive. With this silver and money, you won't starve."

An Yue smiled warmly and pushed the silver back: "Grandma, Yueyue has silver in her hand now, don't forget, I have three capable assistants!"

Grandma pushed An Yue in front of her again and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be polite to grandma. Grandma knows your difficulties."

"Now there are many people in the family. You and Nian Nian aside, the three servants also need to eat every meal. In the current drought, it is difficult to grow even a vegetable in the fields. What else can we eat?"

An Yue pointed to the duck eggs on the corner of the wall and said, "Here! Grandma, look at those duck eggs. Not long ago, Yueyue bought dozens of ducks. Most of these ducks lay eggs, so Yueyue really has no shortage of money."

Grandma asked again to confirm, "Does Yueyue mean what she said?"

An Yue smiled and nodded: "Of course I take it seriously, how can Yueyue deceive you!"

"Grandma, you don't think Yueyue came here this time because she has no money, right?" An Yue asked jokingly.

Grandma put the silver coins on the table into the jar and said with a smile: "Oh! It seems that grandma has underestimated our Yueyue!"

The grandparents burst into laughter. An Yue said, "Haha... Grandma is right!"

Grandfather walked in from the yard, smiled faintly and asked, "What are you two talking about in secret?"

Grandma rolled her eyes at grandpa and said, "You old man, the child is here, but you are nowhere to be found. Where have you been?"

"I went to a rich man's house and asked for two rabbits." Grandfather said with a smile and slowly sat down on the bench.

Grandma frowned and asked, "Now the grass is dead everywhere, what do you want a rabbit for?"

"What are you thinking about? It's a slaughtered rabbit, which I brought home specially for Yueyue." Grandfather Jiang Wu Wenci said with a smile.

After hearing this, An Yue waved her hand and said, "Grandfather, Yueyue has chickens and ducks at home, so let's keep them for you to eat!"

Grandma stroked Anyue's face and said softly, "Child, this is a little gift from your grandparents. We can't do much to help you, but we want to give you everything you have, so Yueyue, please accept it!"

Grandfather asked briefly:
