Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter-Chapter 78 - Considering Separation

78: Chapter 78: Considering Separation

78 -78: Considering Separation

In the entire Chen family, other than her grandparents, her little aunt is her favorite.

“Little aunt, sit down and have a drink of water first.”

In this short span of time, Zhou Zhaodi had already come back from the kitchen with a bowl of cool boiled water.

Chen Honghong was indeed a bit thirsty, “Thank you, second sister-in-law.”

Zhou Zhaodi waved her hand, saying cheerfully, “We’re all family here, no need to be polite.”

If it weren’t for her eyes sneakily drifting to the two black plastic bags on the ground after she said this, and her distinctive smartness and cleverness, Ma Xiulian would have let her run the household.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Mei, was honest and diligent, silently cleaning the dishes and utensils.

As for Li Chunhua who was heavily pregnant, she had discreetly snuck back to her room with the canned beef while no one was noticing.

All three daughters-in-law, the foolish acting foolish, the crafty being crafty, and the dimwitted looking dimwitted, frustrated Ma Xiulian.

If it weren’t for her youngest son still not being married, she would have wanted to split the family and live separately.

Thinking of her youngest son who hadn’t been home for several months, Ma Xiulian asked her eldest daughter, “Has Jianmin recently been making furniture in town?”

Chen Honghong nodded, “He’s in town today.

He even made some small toys for the kids for me to bring back.”

As she said this, she pointed to the black bags on the ground.

She continued saying, “Mom, my younger brother also asked me to tell you that he’ll be able to finish his apprenticeship and return home next month.”

Zhou Zhaodi instantly widened her eyes, “Jianmin is going to finish his four-year apprenticeship next month?

Are we going to have another celebration at our home very soon?”

Chen Jianmin is Ma Xiulian’s youngest son, an apprentice to an old carpenter in another commune — the kind that provides food and lodging but no salary.

At that time, being a carpenter was a money-making skill.

There were many who were willing to learn the skill even if it meant losing money in the beginning.

However, to avoid the situation “the master starves when the apprentice becomes proficient,” many skilled craftsmen would not easily accept apprentices.

The main reason that Chen Jianmin got accepted by the old carpenter, apart from the generous gift Ma Xiulian gave, was that the old carpenter’s youngest daughter took a liking to him.

So, after completing his four-year apprenticeship, Chen Jianmin was to marry the old carpenter’s youngest daughter.

Ma Xiulian, however, was very calm about it: “He’s not getting any younger; it’s about time he got married.” Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi started to make calculations in her mind.

A carpenter earns a lot of money; her fifth brother’s bride’s dowry must be substantial.

She definitely needs to establish a good relationship with her when she moves in.

Chen Honghong, an already married daughter, didn’t care about these things.

Instead, she looked at Ma Xiulian with shining eyes, “Mom, I heard people in the village saying that you single-handedly took down a wild boar this morning!”

If it was anyone else, Chen Honghong wouldn’t believe it, but when it comes to her own mother, Ma Xiulian, she was blindly admiring.

In her heart, her own mother was the most amazing.

Back when the commune didn’t want daughters to read, only her mother insisted on letting her finish primary school, which secured her husband’s interest in her, who was at that time a teacher.

Moreover, her mother sent her fourth brother to be a soldier and her youngest brother to be a carpenter’s apprentice.

She hasn’t seen anyone more capable than her mother!

And now, even God had sent Fairy, the little angel, to her mother to be her granddaughter.

Before Ma Xiulian could open her mouth, Zhou Zhaodi excitedly began to depict the event: “Little aunt, you didn’t see it, that wild boar was as majestic as a miniature hill.

Its tusks were long, thick, sharp, and sent Old Lady Song from next door running in terror.

However, when our mom showed up, it didn’t dare to move.
