NovelEnglishChapter 91: Returning at Night
The youngest son turned his face away and refused to be touched. It was unknown if he understood Ye Lulu’s words. His light-colored eyes focused on Ye Lulu and he looked up unhappily.
However, Ye Lulu was in a very excited mood. She shouted, “Let’s do this! The eldest son is Hu Lu, the second son is Chi Chi, and the youngest son is Gu Gu!”
She named the three babies… in such a manner.
Guan Chibei glanced at her and did not say anything. He did not care how she chose their nicknames and seemed to have tacitly agreed.
Ye Lulu was playing with the babies when there was a sudden sound from outside. Mother Rong and the rest had returned!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sky had already darkened. From the commotion caused by the return of Mother Rong and the rest, she guessed that business was good today.
“It’s done… We did business today!”
As soon as Mother Rong and the rest entered the house, they shouted excitedly. The two sisters-in-law had looks of joy on their faces, and even the three brothers were silently happy.
Father Guan immediately threw down the wooden bowl and came over. “How was it? I said I would follow you today, but you didn’t let me! How can I feel at ease letting you go to the docks in the city alone?”
Father Guan said to Mother Rong.
Mother Rong said, “Hey, there are three sons following us. The eldest son is also around. What are you worried about? It’s fine.”
Everyone in the room heard these words. Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei looked at each other in silence.
Ah… They didn’t expect Mother Rong and Father Guan to still put on a public display of affection at their age…
Father Guan was also very nervous about today’s matter. Mother Rong could not hold it in any longer. As soon as she reached home, she said in a frenzy,
“We sold food today! Lulu’s idea was right, and her taste is really good… There were always people who patronized our stall! Today, we went to the docks to sell porridge and we were only left with three pork ribs and four fish segments… There are only twenty white flour dumplings left! We can really sell them!”
“Did you know? I really didn’t expect that the fish bones and chicken bones, as well as the chicken intestines, would be the fastest to be sold out! Those people wanted to eat porridge but felt that it was a little expensive to add other ingredients. However, they wanted the meat smell in their porridge, so they were more willing to spend money to add a portion of these ingredients…”
“Oh right, there are really people in Yuan City who are starting to eat blood! Today, someone ordered porridge with pig blood and chicken blood. They were all crew members who disembarked from the ship. They came from overseas, which meant that the people from overseas were eating blood. Lulu was right…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Glutinous rice chickens were very popular. They could carry them easily in their hands, and they could eat them as they walked. They were filling as well, so many people bought them. We made thirty of them! They were sold out just after noon. There were still people who wanted to buy them!”
“Many people bought fried dumplings as well. Oh! There were so many people at the docks who weren’t short of money. Those who were about to board the ship and set off and those who had money would buy a portion and bring it to the ship to eat…”
“In short, business wasn’t bad! We must be making money! I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m thinking of rushing home first. Oh, the things I brought with me are pretty much sold out…”
Mother Rong was filled with excitement and was too happy. She spoke non-stop in high spirits and could not wait to tell her family everything. She was overjoyed.
Father Guan also pricked up his ears and listened attentively. His heartstrings were firmly tugged at and his hanging heart slowly relaxed.
The Guan family’s brothers and sisters-in-law were not impatient. Instead, they stayed quietly by the side even though they followed their mother to the city.
It was obvious that she was happy.
Guan Chibei got up and left the house. He went to the courtyard to talk to Mother Rong. Ye Lulu could only stay in the house. However, when she heard Mother Rong’s excited words, she was happy and smiled.
