Chapter 277: Chapter 279: Feed Him First_1
By the time they returned home, a middle-aged woman was already waiting at the door.
"Mom, why are you here?" Da Ni’er agilely jumped down from the ox cart.
Feng Clan chided, "It’s all because of you, you little monkey, I can’t even take care of the work in the fields."
Her daughter was just like a tomboy in nature, and if she didn’t keep an eye on her for even a moment, she would cause trouble.
Knowing that her daughter had gone to town, her heart was all aflutter; unable to bear the wait, she came here to meet her, thinking that if Da Ni’er really caused any trouble, an apology in advance wouldn’t hurt and would at least not be too rude.
"Wife of Fourth Boss, my Da Ni’er is quite wild, she must have caused you a lot of trouble," Feng Clan said apologetically.
Da Ni’er said discontentedly, "Mom, I’m not that useless, look, Sister Duo’er even gave me Ten Wen Work Money!"
"Quickly give the money back to Duo’er, I’ll be thankful if you didn’t cause trouble, you girl!"
Da Ni’er sighed heavily; she had finally done something meaningful today, only to be wronged by her mom like this.
Alas, how frustrating!
But she could only blame herself, who asked her to have so many "glorious achievements" in the past?
"Sister-in-law Tie, Da Ni’er didn’t cause any trouble, she actually helped me and Sister Lan a lot," Qiao Duo’er quickly defended Da Ni’er, or else Da Ni’er’s mouth might hang a gourd of oil.
Feng Clan asked half-believingly, "My Da Ni’er really didn’t cause trouble?"
Qiao Duo’er nodded again, and only then did Feng Clan believe her.
However, she still insisted on not taking the work money; since they didn’t disdain her daughter, she should pay them for their work.
"Da Ni’er worked hard all day, she deserves this work money, don’t refuse it," Qiao Duo’er insisted firmly.
She always believed that those who put in the effort should be rewarded.
With that, Feng Clan allowed Da Ni’er to accept the money; this was the first time her eldest daughter had earned her own work money, so she let her keep it. The favor owed to the Tan Family would be repaid by the Tie Family later on.
Da Ni’er was now happy, "Mom, you can relax, I’ll come and help again tomorrow, Sister Duo’er, you won’t despise me, will you?"
"Very welcome," Qiao Duo’er responded.
Feng Clan poked Da Ni’er’s forehead, "Then you mustn’t cause any trouble, otherwise I won’t forgive you!"
Da Ni’er immediately agreed, just being able to come over was good enough.
Before leaving, Feng Clan still gave a reminder, "Da Ni’er’s grandma said it might rain in a few days, you need to harvest your rice quickly."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law, I’ll mention it to Zheng Hong later," Qiao Duo said.
It was said that the elderly could predict the weather, so Qiao Duo took this to heart.
At nightfall, Tie Niu was embracing his wife.
"Annoying, aren’t you tired from all the work during the day?" Feng Clan twisted her body to avoid Tie Niu’s big hand.
"Did that little work tire me out? Wife, stop squirming," Tie Niu gasped a little.
His wife was almost forty, still in the prime of her allure, and he didn’t hold back at all, needing her almost every other day.
Feng Clan pushed away Tie Niu’s hand, "Stop moving, I’m telling you, today Da Ni’er went to town with the Wife of Zheng Hong, and the Wife of Zheng Hong even paid her work money, what should we do?"
"No problem, once the rice is harvested, we’ll invite them over for a meal. You cook some nice dishes, I’ll also save some good land for them later on, and you can take them some Bi Jing rice, they certainly don’t have this kind of seeds," Tie Niu said.
He had never been so kind to anyone before, but the Tan Family deserved such treatment.
After saying that, Tie Niu became even more restless. Feng Clan wanted to say more but was distracted by Tie Niu, she thought, let’s satisfy him first.
