The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

"Is Xiaoli home?" A gentle voice called out, "I'm Aunt Fang who lives in front. I've been to your house before. Do you remember me?"

Aunt Fang?

Yunli went through his memory and found a figure in the corner.

One day, Yunmu brought back a bowl of egg noodles and said with a smile that it was sent by Aunt Fang, and asked the four Yunli brothers and sisters to share it.

The small bowl of pancake is mixed with a small amount of eggs, and tastes particularly sweet.

That was a rare warm moment for the original owner's family after they were kicked out by Old Lady Song, because they felt the kindness from outsiders.

Yunli went over to open the gate and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Fang, what brings you here?"

Because of the kindness he had shown to Yunmu in the past, Yunli would be willing to lend her money if the other party wanted to, as long as it wasn't much.

Fang had a gentle smile on her face. She first looked at the cow in the yard, and after taking a look, she said, "I saw that you bought a cow. I thought that since you only have a few children here, they might not be good at taking care of the animal. I thought about asking your uncle Qiangzi to help build a shed and a feeding trough. Your uncle Qiangzi has gone to the mountain to chop wood, and he will be here soon. Remember to leave the door open."

Yunli was a little touched.

This was the kind of fairy neighbor she imagined the village should have! Could it be this fairy neighbor who had called the clan leader to stop someone from breaking into her house and kidnapping her in the morning?

"Thank you so much, aunt and uncle! To be honest, I'm still worried about what to do. With your help, I'm not in a hurry. Please come in and have a drink of water and sit for a while. It's too hot."

Fang followed Yunli into the house. Yunfan happened to come over from the backyard carrying bamboo. He smiled as soon as he saw Yunli from a distance. "Sister, how do you make bamboo?"

This cheap brother obviously knew Fang as well, and greeted her politely.

Fang looked at Yun Fan with a loving and regretful look in her eyes, "Look at how sweaty you are. Hurry and wipe it off first."

Yunli went to get a basin of clean water, washed two peaches, cut them into pieces, put them on a plate and brought them into the house. "These wild peaches picked from the mountains taste delicious to me. Auntie, try some too."

He first handed half to Fang, then urged Yunfan to wash his face, and then cut two small pieces and stuffed them into the two little ones' mouths.

The two little ones are not very good at eating fruits. They were covered with juice after eating watermelon just now. Yunli really couldn't bear to see it, so he decided to cut it into small pieces and let them eat one in each mouthful.

"Is this the rare fruit you picked in the mountains that they said you did?" Fang looked at the fruit in her hand. It was red and white, and smelled particularly fragrant. She didn't eat it, but was a little at a loss. "It would be a waste to let me eat such an expensive fruit."

As she spoke, she fed the peach to Yunli's mouth, "Hurry up and eat it yourself. You look so thin. You should eat some more."

Yunli smiled and dodged, "Aunt, just eat it. This is just a wild peach, not a rare fruit I found. I have more at home. This fruit is very juicy. If you eat it with your hands, they will get sticky. That's why I cut it open, not because it's precious."

After hearing this, Fang finally understood.

She tried taking a bite, and it was so sweet that the wrinkles on her face relaxed a little. "Delicious! I've never eaten peaches this sweet! Girl, I think you can sell these peaches in town and make a lot of money!"

Yunli smiled and shook his head, "We only found that one tree, and there are only a few peaches. It's fine for the family to eat, but if we sell them, we can't sell many. To be honest, sister-in-law, I happened to meet a generous nobleman today, and he gave me more money. Otherwise, how could those dozens of kilograms of fruits be worth twenty taels of silver?"

Fang thought about it and realized that it was true. "That's right. Ordinary peaches are already considered a lot if they can be sold for ten coins per pound. These peaches are so delicious that even if they are sold for twenty coins per pound, they can't even be sold for one or two ounces of silver."

After she figured it out, she stopped being so reserved and began to eat the peach politely.

While Yunli was feeding the child peaches, she discussed with Fang, "Aunt, how long will it take to build this cowshed? I also bought a few chickens to lay eggs. Can Uncle Qiangzi build a fence? If so, can he help me? The wages are 25 cents a day, and meals are not included."

"How can I charge you for a child?" Fang waved her hands repeatedly, "It's just a one-day thing, your uncle Qiangzi just helped you out."

Yunli shook his head and said with a smile, "How can I calculate it like that? Aunt, you know that I don't need money right now. Uncle Qiangzi has done me a great favor by helping me cut wood. I can't just not pay him. If I do that, how can I have the nerve to ask you for help again in the future!"

"I can't argue with you!" Fang smiled, "Come on, come on, come on."

After explaining everything clearly, Yunli fetched water and lit a fire, preparing to make some water for a bath.

She doesn't mind using money to buy favor.

Neighbors get along with each other in this way. If she has to be away for an emergency, she can ask someone to help look after her siblings.

People who are used to farm work are fast. Uncle Qiangzi came back carrying six or seven straight tree trunks as thick as bowls. The next step was to cut the tree trunks into appropriate lengths, dig holes, bury the stakes, and lay the roof.

Yunli was busy washing the child, while Yunfan washed the clothes that had been taken off. The division of labor and cooperation was in good order.

Fang helped her husband with the work. When the sun set, the cowshed was almost done. They just needed to lay the straw. They hurriedly laid a layer of straw before dark. After agreeing on a time to come the next day, Fang took her husband home.

Yunli washed her hair, took a shower and changed into pajamas, and only then did she feel that she was completely clean. While drying her hair, she thought about her future life.

Yunfan did not question what she took out. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he took the towel from Yunli's hand and imitated her to wipe Yunli's hair.

Yunli glanced at him and he responded with a bright smile.

He's good-looking, but unfortunately he's a fool.

Yunli shook his head and began to think carefully again.

She was narrow-minded before. She thought that with fifty taels of silver in her hand, she could live comfortably in her old age. Now it seems that this idea is completely wrong.

The life of a farm girl is not that easy either.

First of all, if you live in this era, you have to accept the fact that you have neighbors. Every day, your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are watched by others, so it is impossible to lie down. As a modern little waste who doesn't do housework, relies on takeout for cooking, washes clothes in the washing machine, and sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, she can accept the occasional firewood, rice, oil and salt, but she can never accept rural labor day after day.

Secondly, these two stepbrothers need to be raised. In the ancient world, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were very important class divisions. The little one can choose between farmers, scholars and artisans, but we cannot deprive him of the opportunity to choose scholars.

Furthermore, I don’t know whether this cheap brother’s mental retardation is congenital or acquired, so he must be treated.

None of the above can be achieved without money.
