Chapter 19 The Fu Family are All Good Helpers

Fu Yanting took the rice and chicken and went outside for a while, saying that he bought them in the county.

The family didn’t suspect anything.

Qing’er took the rice and chicken, steamed rice and stewed chicken soup.

The empty farmhouse courtyard was suddenly filled with the aroma of chicken soup.

Marquis Fu and Madam Fu were not at all pretentious, they helped Qing’er’s mother clean up the courtyard and the house.

There were many weeds in the old woman’s yard.

Madam Fu couldn’t help but sigh, “I don’t know how Qing’er’s mother lived alone! Her father is really heartless!”

Marquis Fu put his arm around her and comforted her, “If Qing’er wants to stay, let her stay, her mother is old and needs someone to take care of her.”

Madam Fu nodded, got up and took the straw mat next to her and went to Chu Chenyin’s room, “Chenyin, you’ve been through a lot with us, mother will help you make the bed.”

The bed in the farmhouse was a simple wooden frame, with some dry straw mats and cotton on top.

Chu Chenyin quickly walked over to her, ready to take the straw mat, “Mother, I’ll do it myself.”

Madam Fu was born into wealth, but she was not pampered, she had followed her parents on business trips since she was young, she had experienced all kinds of hardships, and she was efficient in doing things.

Before Chu Chenyin could react, she had already skillfully made the bed with the straw mat and bed sheet.

“Chenyin, this life on the run is much harder than in the Shangshu Mansion, you have to bear with it, it will be better when we reach Mobei.”

Madam Fu held her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.

This was the first time Chu Chenyin had had a long conversation with her mother-in-law since she came to this world.

To be honest, she was quite afraid of the word “mother-in-law” at first, she had often heard her neighbors complain about their mothers-in-law.

They all said that the life in the husband’s family was good or bad depending on the mother-in-law.

Chu Chenyin was a little restrained, “Mother, it’s okay, my life in the Shangshu Mansion wasn’t really good either.”

Madam Fu was startled, then suddenly thought of something and realized, “No wonder, that Shangshu knew that the emperor was going to kill us, yet he still married you off, he was clearly not giving you a way out, oh… poor child…”

Madam Fu sighed, holding Chu Chenyin’s hand tightly, “Forget it, that kind of father is not worth recognizing, now you have married our Yanting, you are our daughter, our own daughter! We will not let you suffer any more injustice in the future!”

Chu Chenyin felt a warmth in her heart, her nose felt a little sour.

She was not a sentimental person, her heart had long been hardened into a copper wall and iron wall, but she had been an orphan since she was young, this was the first time she felt the love between parents, this feeling was very novel and enjoyable.

“Yes, Mother.” She nodded with a smile.

“Good child.” Madam Fu gently patted her hand, her eyes full of loving smiles.

At this time, Fu Jianghong strode into the room, threw two red fruits to Chu Chenyin, and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, here, eat some fruit!”

Chu Chenyin took them and took a bite of the bright red fruit, it was very sweet, “Third Sister, where did you get these fruits?”

Fu Jianghong smiled, “Second Brother and I picked them on the mountain, there are not only fruits but also wild chickens and wild boars, we’ll have meat tonight!”

Wild chickens and wild boars?

These two siblings are really quick.

Chu Chenyin thought to herself, speaking of which, this whole Fu family, there isn’t a single one who eats for free, each has their own skills.

Marquis Fu is calm and collected, a good strategist.

Madam Fu is meticulous in everything, taking care of all the household chores.

Fu Yanting is skilled and resourceful, able to lead the whole team, and also help her move the warehouse.

The second brother of the Fu family is a good survivalist, no one can beat him at hunting and fishing.

The third sister of the Fu family, although a woman, is more courageous than a man, climbing mountains and wading through water is no problem for her.

Most importantly, this family is united, from the capital to Zhanyang County and then to Mengru County, they have never quarreled along the way.

A family of five, with six brains.

Chu Chenyin was comforted, with them around, it was like having a group of good helpers.

After the Zhang family’s house was cleaned up, Chu Chenyin followed Fu Yanting to the market in Mengru Town.

Mengru Town was not as prosperous as the capital, but the small town still had everything.

She had taken some silver from her space beforehand, she was going to buy as much as she could.

After the natural disaster, she wanted to rebuild a new home with this whole family, she would stock up as much as she could in her space, every grain of rice would be precious.

In her memory, the Dayong Dynasty would completely become a desert decades after the natural disaster.

Even though she was a modern person, she was still filled with fear about this future.

This was the coercion of fate, only by stocking up enough supplies could she feel safe.

Fu Yanting took her to a cloth shop first, buying some silk and ordinary cloth, while no one was around at the corner, Chu Chenyin put all these things into her space.

After leaving the cloth shop, the two of them bought some seeds of fruits and vegetables, as well as farming tools, although they didn’t need them now, it was better to be prepared.

Then they went to a rice shop.

Chu Chenyin looked up and saw four big characters hanging on the shop, “Bai Family Rice Shop”, she asked Fu Yanting beside her, “General Fu, do you think this Bai family is the same Bai family that Qing’er’s father married into?”

Fu Yanting slowly walked inside, grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, “I don’t know if it’s the same Bai family, but I can tell at a glance if this rice is good or not.”

“Something wrong with the rice?” Chu Chenyin quickly looked down.

The rice bag was full of broken white rice, it didn’t look right.

She reached out and grabbed a handful, rubbed it in her hand, and saw a layer of white dust falling off the white rice.

“What’s going on?” Chu Chenyin exclaimed.

Fu Yanting glanced at the clerk in the rice shop and whispered, “It’s white sand and lime.”
