Chapter 199 The Best Sister-in-law 7
Cheng Yue in the next room opened her eyes with a haggard look on her face, staring into the void.
She bought a lot of things last night, but got nothing. Later she gave up buying anything and studied it all night, but unfortunately she couldn't find out what went wrong.
Now she was almost going crazy, watching over 900 million gold coins but not being able to buy anything, how cruel it was.
Finally, she accepted the fact that the system could not be used and collapsed on the bed, feeling hopeless.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Sumei looked at her daughter's dark circles and was a little worried. Wasn't she so happy yesterday when the family was separated? Why did she look so listless today? Was she sick?
Wu Sumei touched Cheng Yue's forehead and found it cool, indicating that she did not have a fever.
Cheng Yue looked at Wu Sumei listlessly, "Mom, I'm so sad."
Wu Sumei quickly came over and said, "Xiaoyue, what happened to you?"
No matter how dumb Cheng Yue was, she knew that the system couldn't tell anyone else, so she held it in, only to end up hurting herself internally.
"Xiaoyue, hurry up and get up. Mommy cooked eggs for you today. They are so delicious."
Wu Sumei smiled and took out a boiled egg. This was the one she shared yesterday. There were only five in total, so she boiled three today, one for each of the three children.
Cheng Yue couldn't help crying again when she looked at the eggs. Her billion, her roast chicken, her little cake...
Wu Sumei patted her daughter on the back, thinking she was crying for joy. She put the egg in her daughter's hand and went back to her work.
Cheng Yue cried for a while, then cheered up again. Even if the system was broken, she still had to live. She didn't believe that with her future knowledge, she could not survive in this backward ancient times.
She took a big bite of the egg. Mmm, delicious!
During breakfast, Wu Sumei made wild vegetable cakes and wheat bran cakes. Cheng Yue burst into tears as soon as she took the first bite.
She still missed her cake.
Cheng Tian gave the land he was allocated to his elder brother Cheng Zhongzhong, and returned to the city with his wife the next morning.
Cheng Zhong and Cheng Geng both rebuilt the kitchen and separated out to start cooking. The Cheng family became simpler, with only Cheng Shouyi, Qian Xiu Lian and Nan Xi left.
As the separation of the family was settled, everyone in the Cheng family began to adapt to their new lives.
Nan Xi adapted very well. After the separation, there were fewer people in the family and less housework. Qian Xiu Lian didn't let Nan Xi do any work. She was basically the same as before, at most helping to wash vegetables and light the fire.
Cheng Yue was miserable. After the family split up, Wu Sumei had to work in the fields, so the housework was left to her. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and there was endless work to do.
Cheng Yue felt that her life was even worse than before the separation. At least before, she could occasionally eat meat in her meals. Now, she only ate wild vegetables, steamed bread, and corn porridge every day...
She felt exhausted and without any nutrition. She drooled every time she looked at the balance in the trading system, but there was nothing she could do.
Nan Xi was also mumbling to Xiaoying, "Cheng Yue isn't buying anything anymore, so the 900 million seems like it can buy a lot of things."
Xiaoying snapped her fingers and said, "That's easy. Just watch me."
Cheng Yue was staring at the wild vegetables in her hand in a daze when suddenly a small French bread fell in front of her. Yes, it was the kind that was on sale at 6.6 yuan per pound in the supermarket.
Cheng Yue's eyes lit up, "Small bread..."
She quickly picked it up and put it in her mouth. It was the same recipe and the same taste.
"Just another cup of AD calcium milk..."
Cheng Yue smacked her lips. The bread was too small, so she swallowed it before she could savor it properly.
She had originally lost interest in the trading system, as she couldn't buy anything anyway, but now that something was dropping, she felt interested again.
Cheng Yue threw the wild vegetables into the room. She had to study them carefully.
Looking at the full contents, she clicked to pay.
Payment successful!
Then she saw something appear. She took it and saw that it was a cookie, one of the biscuits in the big box she had just paid for.
Cheng Yue was a little disappointed, but it was better to have something than nothing. Although the proportion was too low, she had a lot of money.
So, she started to buy non-stop. After working all morning, she only got five cookies and snacks. The rest were some useless things, such as rags, exercise books, benches, data cables, Rubik's cubes, tissues, light bulbs, stickers...
There is even a pot of green ivy, which is the size of a palm.
Cheng Yue's eyes turned red, her life was so miserable, she traveled through time, others were enjoying a good life, but she only had such a broken system, had 1 billion gold coins, but could only shop for random items.
But she was reluctant to let go. Although five biscuits were not much, at least a roll of paper towels dropped by her was a good thing. Who could understand her sad and angry mood holding the bamboo stick in the toilet?
After spending half a million yuan, Cheng Yue began to sort out the things she had collected. She kept the rag, recycled the data cable into the trash can, and hid the paper towels...
Just as she finished her work, she heard a voice at the door.
"Why is no one home? Why hasn't Xiaoyue cooked yet? Where did she go?"
Cheng Yue quickly opened the door, "Mom, I'm here. I felt a little dizzy so I lay down for a while."
Wu Sumei and Cheng Geng came back with hoes and were just fetching water to wash their faces. They became nervous when they heard this.
"Xiaoyue, are you feeling better now? Why don't we go to the clinic?"
Cheng Yue waved her hand, "Mom, I'm fine now. No need to go to the clinic. I'll cook now."
She carried a bundle of firewood and went to the kitchen to cook.
Looking at the simple food and seasonings in the kitchen, Cheng Yue sighed again. She was so unlucky. It would be better not to have a system. If she didn't have one, she wouldn't have to be so unwilling.
Today they still had whole-grain porridge and wild vegetables. Although it was simple, the whole family was happy. Just then, the smell of meat suddenly wafted from the main house, and Cheng Yue lost her appetite at all.
She also wants to eat meat.
The meat was taken out by Nan Xi when she was praying in the morning. The family hadn't eaten meat for a few days, so Qian Xiu Lian wanted to get a piece of meat for her daughter to satisfy her hunger.
The meat Nan Xi took out was a whole piece of front leg meat, weighing a full thirty kilograms. Qian Xiu Lian smiled at the time. This amount of meat was enough to eat for a month.
The meat of the pork front leg is firm and tender. It can not only be used for braising, but also for stewing, roasting, boiled meat slices, or it can be chopped and mixed with rice flour and steamed to make steamed pork with rice flour.
Qian Xiu Lian had already thought of several ways to eat it, so she took the meat directly to the kitchen.
At lunch, there was a large pot of braised pork on the table.
The families of the first and second wives lived close to each other and both smelled the fragrance, but they did not dare to come closer.
Zhou Lanxin instigated her youngest son Cheng Baogen to come to the main house to ask for meat, and was scolded by Cheng Zhong.
"It's not easy for my parents to have some meat. You black-hearted person, you still want to share the meat. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Zhou Lan sat down angrily and dared not say anything more.
