Chapter 102: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality
"Granny, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong with eating? Aren't you hungry?" Xu Ning touched his stomach and shook his head.
At this time, the setting sun fell on the sea and blurred the water. Xu Ning said pitifully: "Grandma, I'm starving."
"Let's go. Tonight's meal is made by Milk. It has your favorite fried prawns."
"Thank you for the milk!"
"Grandma, what kind of life do you want to live?" Xu Ning took Old Lady Xu's arm and walked into the house. When Old Lady Xu heard this, she paused.
"Milk?" Old Mrs. Xu continued walking forward without answering.
The life she wanted was for her family to be healthy, well-fed, and safe.
"Grandma, you don't actually want our family to do business, right?"
"But grandma, if we do business, our family will have more money and can live a more affluent life. Although the business may lose money, we can give it a try, and if it doesn't suit us, we can switch to something else." The grandparents and grandchildren had already walked under the eaves. Old Mrs. Xu stopped and looked at Xu Ning seriously.
"Daya, I respect your ideas, but no one in the family is good at these things except you. I also know that you are smart, but our family has just arrived in a new place, and the most important thing is to settle down first, and then plan step by step." After saying this in a low voice, Old Mrs. Xu stepped into the house first. The other members of the Xu family and the village chief's family were already seated and waiting.
Xu Ning's eyes flashed, and he also stepped over the threshold and walked in.
"Wow! It smells so good! Delicious fried prawns. I'm going to eat two bowls of rice today!" After Xu Ning said this loudly, he saw the embarrassed expression on the face of the village chief's wife.
The village chief of Xianyu Village laughed it off and said to eat more. The other people in the village chief's family looked at her nervously like Qin Xianglan.
"Hurry up and come here!" Old Mrs. Xu pretended to speak loudly to Xu Ning, but in fact she had already served Xu Ning's meal, which was a multi-grain rice different from that of the others.
When Old Mrs. Xu handed this unique bowl of rice to Xu Ning, the sound of her swallowing saliva was clearly heard.
At this moment, Xu Ning understood why Old Lady Xu was so anxious to move into her own house first.
"Eat the food quickly!" Xu Ning ate his favorite fried prawns and the rice in the bowl, accepting the occasional gazes from the Qin family.
Old Mrs. Xu wanted to cook mixed-grain rice for everyone in the family, but Old Man Xu stopped her.
Old Mrs. Xu thought about it and agreed. If her own family was already enjoying the meal, it would be inappropriate not to prepare some for the village chief's family.
Except Xu Ning, everyone else in the Xu family could eat steamed corn bread, so Old Mrs. Xu made a bowl just for Xu Ning.
"Our daughter can only eat fine grains. I'm sorry to embarrass you."
Qin Xianglan looked at Xu Ning with envy. She also wanted to be Xu Ning so that she could have unique rice to eat.
"No, no, the prawns cooked by Auntie are really delicious!" The boy who spoke was Qin Xianglan's brother. He was the only one in the Qin family who didn't even raise his head while eating. Even when he said this, he just glanced at Old Lady Xu and continued to eat.
"Big Head is right!" The village chief's wife felt a little tasteless. She didn't understand what Old Lady Xu was thinking. Why did she give the rice to a little girl and let her grandson eat steamed corn bread?
But this is not her family's business, and she has no say in it.
Qin Xianglan curled her lips and recalled that whenever there was something delicious in the past, her grandmother would always eat first for her brothers, and she could only eat what her brothers left over, and most of the time there was nothing left.
Thinking of this, Qin Xianglan became even more envious of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt very uncomfortable with these looks. He quickly finished his meal, not eating many shrimps, and went back to his room to rest.
After a night of reflection, Xu Ning finally decided to put aside the matter of buying a shop and doing business for the time being.
