Chapter 106 Jealous Old Lady Chen

At dawn the next day, Mr. Chen, who was still asleep, was kicked in the butt by Mrs. Chen.

Old Master Chen was kicked awake from his sweet dream of drinking huge bowls of wine. He got up dazedly and looked at the sky coming through the small window.

"What are you doing, you old bitch? Why are you kicking me instead of sleeping so early in the morning?" The old man stared at the old lady with an angry face.

The bowl of wine was clearly right at his lips just now, but it was kicked away by the old woman. The old man was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"What are you doing?! Have you forgotten what you promised your second son's wife to do yesterday? You collect the things but still don't want to work. That doesn't make sense." Old Mrs. Chen said unhappily.

"Hey! You are so unreasonable, old woman. Look, it's not even daybreak yet. Where can I go to work?"

"Can't we work before daybreak? We can still work with a torch!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she pulled the quilt over her head and ignored him.

"you......"

Old Master Chen was speechless and could only lie back on the bed angrily. However, he could no longer fall asleep, and the beautiful dream he had just had could never come back.

After lying down for a while, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up again. Looking at his old wife who was pretending to sleep under the quilt, Mr. Chen clenched his fists again and again.

This damn old woman must be jealous, jealous that the second son's wife sent him wine but not her.

That must be the case!

The old man threw back the quilt heavily and got out of bed. He then deliberately stomped his feet twice in his slippers before walking out. However, when he closed the door, he gently pulled it back.

Standing in the yard, looking at the still gray sky, the old man was speechless. This old woman's jealousy was really terrible.

After thinking for a while, the old man put on his shoes, walked to the door of Chen Jiadong and his wife's room, and knocked on the door.

"Big brother, get up! It's already so late, why don't you get up? You should go help the second brother's wife build a kiln."

If he can't sleep well, then the eldest son shouldn't sleep either.

After a while, Chen Jiadong rubbed his eyes and pushed the door open to come out.

After seeing the sky clearly, Chen Jiadong immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Dad, what are you doing? It's not even daybreak yet, how can you build a brothel in the dark?"

"After eating so much food from the second son's wife, you should have gone earlier. I didn't see you eat slowly when you were eating!" said the old man unhappily.

Chen Jiadong didn't know what the old man was crazy about so early in the morning. Seeing him looking angry, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only put on his clothes and wash up.

The father and son staggered towards Zheng Yuan's house.

When I arrived at the door, the yard was indeed quiet and there was no one in sight.

Both Mr. Chen and Chen Jiadong were angry and each was mad in his own way.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, although the two were angry, they didn't want to go back, so they simply squatted in front of the door and waited for them to wake up.

There are always a lot of mosquitoes on midsummer nights, especially those that have been eating toilet water all night. When they smell the breath of two living people, they can no longer bear it and immediately attack the two of them.

The two rough-skinned and thick-fleshed men were bitten by the crazy mosquitoes and fled everywhere. In the quiet morning village, there were bursts of slapping mosquitoes. However, there were too many mosquitoes, and soon the two men were covered with bumps.

This was the situation that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin saw when they brought their children over.

The two men were dancing around to drive away the mosquitoes that were swarming towards them, and they kept scratching the pimples on their bodies with their hands, looking very embarrassed.

"Dad, brother, why are you here so early?"

Zheng Yuan thought to herself, could it be that they got up too late? That shouldn’t be the case, as they also got up at dawn.

Old Master Chen coughed twice and said, "We thought we could get here earlier so that we can finish it earlier and not delay your business. We just arrived a while ago."

Chen Jiadong stared at his father with resentment. It was not just that the old man had just arrived for a while, but he was also talking nonsense. It was because he was crazy early in the morning, otherwise how could he have been here feeding mosquitoes for half an hour.

Old Master Chen was also embarrassed, but he couldn't say that the old woman was jealous of him for getting Zheng Yuan's wine and was taking revenge on him. He couldn't afford to lose face after being chased away by his own wife early in the morning.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't say anything more. They knocked on the door to wake up Dashu, who came to open the door and welcomed the two in.

"Second son's wife, where are you planning to build this brothel?" As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Chen was ready to get to work.

Zheng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, do you think the corner of my backyard near the pigpen is suitable?"

Zheng Yuan didn't know what conditions were needed to open a brothel, he just thought it was more convenient there.

"Whether it is suitable or not, I'll have to go dig with a hoe to see for sure. I think there should be no problem with your backyard." Old Master Chen picked up a hoe and walked towards the backyard.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also followed.

The old man dug with a hoe and brought down a small piece of mud. He then used his hand to rub it and nodded, "This place is quite solid and suitable for a kiln. Let's start here. Boss, go get the dustpan and hoe."

Seeing that there was no problem here, the two returned to the front yard, gave the tools to Chen Jiadong, and woke up Erhe and Sizhu and asked the three boys to go to the backyard to help.

Both Mr. Chen and Chen Jiadong are capable people. By the time they had breakfast in the morning, they had already completed half of the construction of the cave.

When the two were asked to eat, they wanted to finish digging all the dirt in one go and then go back to eat, but they were willing to come over to eat only after Zheng Yuan took away their hoes.

After dinner, Mr. Chen took a short break and smoked a cigarette, then continued digging with the children.

Young Master Jiang was very curious, so he took Aji with him. He had used so many gold-thread charcoals and silver-thread charcoals before, but he had never seen how a charcoal kiln was made.

Seeing that all the men in the family had gone to the backyard, Xu Hui Niang sneaked a look at the corner to make sure they would not come over. She quickly pulled the two of them into the house and took out the small clothes they had made in the past two days.

The girls were very good at sewing. Although the stitches were not too fancy, the stitches on the small clothes were smooth and dense, and the chest was stuffed with cotton to make it thicker. It was made exactly according to their descriptions and looked exactly like the small vests of later generations.

The two of them couldn't let go of the small vest and wanted to take off their clothes to try it on. Xu Hui Niang was watching their reactions anxiously, worried that they would not be satisfied, but unexpectedly they suddenly started to take off their clothes, which scared her so much that she turned her back.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were also startled by her reaction, and then realized that she was shy, so they stopped what they were doing. They were a little excited to see the small clothes, and for a moment they forgot that this was ancient times and girls were very shy.

"This little dress is so well made, Hui Niang, is yours ready?"

"It's done, it's all done." Xu Hui Niang's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out, and she lowered her head, not wanting to look at the two of them.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin thought it was funny and didn't force her.

"Then go out and tell the girls to change."

After receiving the instructions, Xu Hui Niang ran out as if she had received a special pardon.

After Xu Hui Niang left, the two men finally felt comfortable enough to take off their clothes and put on their vests.

Comfortable! Finally I don’t have to wear that tattered bellyband anymore.

The two of them took off the bellybands, rubbed them and wanted to throw them away, but then they thought it was better not to throw away women's personal belongings at this time, so they turned around and went to the kitchen, threw the bellybands into the stove and burned them.

When the two came out, they saw several girls with red faces, pinching the corners of their clothes, standing under the eaves as if they had lice on their bodies.

Isn't this the same as how they looked when they first put on camisole during puberty?
