Chapter 1204: Chapter 1206: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Ye Ge thought for a moment and then said, "Going to the village chief’s room is no problem. I’ll take you there every day at the third quarter of the hour of si. As for decocting the medicines, I remember the village chief has a son studying in the county town. I’ll talk to him about it, and I can also help take care of things at the other times. Also, if you need any prescriptions or silver needles, I can find them for you. Just tell me what you need."

Tian Xiaobei nodded, "En, alright."

After speaking, she listed a number of items for Ye Ge.

...

Early the next day.

When the village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law from the Niu Family got up, so did the second daughter-in-law from the Ma Family, and as soon as they saw each other, they began glaring daggers.

When the village chief was healthy, he could keep these two daughters-in-law in line, but now that he had fallen ill, they no longer bothered to pretend. They now had a common goal, which was to claim the piece of land by the river.

Ignoring each other, they got up, washed, and then started busying themselves with their own tasks.

However, they had not yet partitioned the home, so the kitchen was still shared. As before, Niu would cook one day, followed by Ma the next.

Today was Niu’s turn to prepare the meals. Once the food was ready, she called everyone over for breakfast. When Ma arrived, she couldn’t help but frown, "Yo, I cooked two green vegetables for breakfast yesterday, and today you’re really skimping, aren’t you? Just a few sweet potatoes and white porridge?"

Angered by this, Niu shot back, "What’s there to compare between green vegetables and sweet potatoes? Aren’t both dug up from the ground? Besides, didn’t you only cook white porridge yesterday as well?"

"And for lunch? What do you plan to feed us then?" Ma asked.

Niu replied, "Do you expect to eat dragon meat and tiger flesh? What’s there to cook for lunch? It’s still just green vegetables and white porridge. Yesterday, all you cooked was a winter melon, do you think you did a great job?"

Taking a bowl to fill it with porridge, Ma said, "Forget it, I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Anyway, we’re going to partition soon. I’ve asked the second son to hurry up and fix the kitchen, and then we’ll each eat our own food, cooking whatever we want."

Niu chuckled disdainfully, "You think I want to eat with you? My family’s kitchen is also under construction. Once it’s done, we’ll cook for ourselves, which will be so much easier."

Ma gave Niu a scornful look, "What about the partitioning of the land? What do you think about that? I’ve already told the second son that I want the vegetable field by the river."

"Why should you?" Niu slurped her porridge noisily, spraying rice as she opened her mouth to speak, "Why should you get it? I want that field. I even plan to plant potatoes there."

"Did dad say he was giving you that field to plant potatoes? Shameless!" Ma scolded.

"Did dad say he was giving you the field to plant? The shameless one is you!" Niu retorted.

...

The two of them went back and forth, arguing bitterly, until the men of the family came over to stop the commotion. Wu Da exerted his authority as the eldest, "What are you arguing about? Dad isn’t gone yet, and until he is, don’t even think about partitioning that field. Also, dad has always managed that field, and he had mentioned to me that he intended to give it to the youngest."

"To the youngest?" Ma scoffed, "The youngest is always in the county town reading those worthless books. He doesn’t farm the land. What does he need that field for? I heard he even plans on settling down in the county town."

Niu also looked at Wu Da, "Did dad really say that?"
