In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 217 What a great thing you did!

"Young friend Chen has done something truly remarkable!"

Su Shihua gazed at Chen Dao's handsome face, filled with emotion.

Chen Dao smiled and said, "The Yuan family deserved to die. My original intention was not to kill too many people, but I saw too many shocking things in the Yuan family. In a fit of anger, I couldn't help but kill them!"

Su Shihua nodded without hesitation. Within such a large family, there are countless dirty deeds. It is normal for a hot-blooded young man like Chen Dao to be unable to suppress his killing intent when he sees such things.

"It's a good thing that the Yuan family was wiped out!"

Su Shih-hua said, "At least the government can provide food to save the refugees outside the city."

Chen Dao nodded, and after chatting with Su Shihua and Su Qiaoxi for a while, he took Chen Cheng away from Baicaotang and headed to Fuhu Boxing Gym, intending to stay there for the night.

As the sun began to set, the farmers of Chenjia Village finished their busy day and emerged from the fields in twos and threes, chatting and laughing as they walked toward Chen Dao's house.

Liu Yan rubbed her aching back and said to her three new daughters-in-law, "Let's go! We've almost finished the work for today, let's go back and have dinner."

After saying that, Liu Yan took the lead and walked out of the field, heading towards the village.

Zhao Xiaoyun and the others behind her glanced at the well-grown wheat, their faces beaming with joy.

"This wheat is growing really well!"

Zhao Xiaoyun whispered to Zhao Xiaomei beside her, "We're sure to have a bumper harvest."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xiaomei nodded repeatedly and said, "I didn't believe the villagers when they said Chenjia Village had grown wheat before, but now I do!"

As they talked, the three of them followed Liu Yan's footsteps and walked into the village.

Soon after, we arrived at Chen Dao’s house and saw the bustling crowd of Chenjia Village residents.

"It's so lively!"

Looking at the lively scene, Li Li couldn't help but sigh. Chenjia Village and Xiaohe Village, two neighboring villages, had completely different fates.

At this time, every household in Xiahe Village kept their doors tightly shut, and everyone stayed at home to conserve energy and avoid the cold wind.

In contrast, in Chenjia Village, almost everyone left their homes and gathered at Chen Dao's house, creating a lively atmosphere that contrasted sharply with that of Xiahe Village.

"Yes yes yes!"

Zhao Xiaomei nodded and said, "I wonder what we'll eat tonight?"

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaomei licked her lips, seemingly savoring the taste of the steamed buns she had eaten that morning. Farmers in Xia Kingdom generally eat two meals a day, but she only ate one in the morning. After a busy day, Zhao Xiaomei was already hungry, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

"It should be a steamed bun."

Liu Yan said with a smile, "The food provided by Daoge'er's family is usually the same. Every meal is steamed buns, and occasionally there will be some egg drop soup."

"And egg drop soup?"

Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two girls' eyes lit up. The steamed buns were already delicious enough, but if they were served with egg drop soup, it would be even better!

The three women, their eyes burning with desire, lined up behind Liu Yan, moving slowly forward with the queue.

Before long, the three of them entered the front yard of Chen Dao's house and saw the food provided for the day.

"They actually have egg drop soup!"

Li Li has sharp eyes and immediately spotted the large bucket of soup on the ground. There were some flocculent things floating in the soup, which was exactly the egg drop soup that Liu Yan had mentioned!

Very good!

Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei were also delighted and quickly asked Ding Xiaohua, who was handing out steamed buns, "Sister, can we drink the soup?"

"of course can!"

Ding Xiaohua recognized the three newly married girls in Chenjia Village at a glance and smiled as she served each of them a bowl of egg drop soup: "One bowl for each of you. If it's not enough, you can come back for more later."

"Okay, thank you, sister!"

The three women politely thanked her, then, carrying steamed buns and egg drop soup, followed Liu Yan to a tree outside the door, where they ate the steamed buns with the egg drop soup.

"This egg drop soup is so delicious!"

As the warm egg drop soup entered her stomach, Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling warm all over.

This egg drop soup is not only a rare treat with meat, but it is also very salty. You know, these days salt is an expensive commodity for ordinary people, and every household has to use salt sparingly.

That's why the saltiness in the soup is all the more precious, making Zhao Xiaomei feel it's incredibly delicious.

"The food at Daoge's house is naturally not bad!"

Liu Yan said with a smile, "I've helped Dao Ge'er's mother with cooking before. They're very generous with the salt when they make soup, so this soup is quite salty and gives you a lot of energy!"

"very nice!"

After finishing a sip of egg drop soup, Zhao Xiaomei took a bite of a steamed bun, savoring the sweet aroma in her mouth. As she slightly narrowed her eyes, she uttered this remark.

While eating, Zhao Xiaoyun said to Liu Yan, "Mom, we'd like to go home for a visit later, is that alright?"

This is the custom called "returning home" in the Xia Kingdom. After a bride gets married, she usually goes back to her parents' home the next day to see them. Zhao Xiaoyun and her two sisters originally planned to go back in the morning, but they couldn't because Liu Yan called them to do chores in the morning.

"No problem at all."

Liu Yan naturally wouldn't refuse, nodding and saying, "After you've eaten your fill, you can go back and visit. Remember to be careful on your way back."

"okay!"

After filling their stomachs, the villagers dispersed.

Zhao Xiaoyun and the other two girls said goodbye to Liu Yan and headed towards Xiahe Village.

After crossing the farmland of the two villages, the three women entered the territory of Xiahe Village and separated, with Li Li heading towards her own home.

Zhao Xiaoyun and Zhao Xiaomei arrived at their own front door, with Zhao Xiaoyun knocking on the door: "Dad, Mom, we've come back to see you!"

Before long, noises came from inside the house. Zhao Kang and Li Qing opened their front door and, seeing their two daughters waiting outside, said with delight, "Xiaoyun and Xiaomei are back! Come in quickly!"

As she spoke, Li Qing quickly stepped forward and pulled her two daughters into the house.

After everyone was seated in the living room, Zhao Kang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you take so long to get here?"

Logically, after a bride gets married, she should return to her parents' home with her husband early the next morning. But it was almost dark when the two daughters finally arrived, and Zhao Kang couldn't help but think…

Is it because their daughter was wronged in Chenjia Village that her husband's family is unwilling to let her come back to see her parents?

Li Qing also looked at her two daughters with some worry. To be honest, she was satisfied with Chen Cheng's family, but if Chen Cheng's family treated her daughters badly, she would go to Chenjia Village and make a scene, letting the people from both villages judge the matter.
