Pig Killer

This explanation for the appearance of new tables, chairs and benches is reasonable and everything is for everyone's convenience.

Shen Hui'e looked at Huang's mother with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "It is also for the convenience of the neighbors. The queue is long and it is uncomfortable to stand all the time. They leave impatiently and the money flies away." She laughed and joked, "I feel bad." She smiled and said, "Now in order to accommodate the bench, we have to raise and widen the wooden table on the bed to use it as a dining table!" After a pause, she said, "It's hot, it's cool to eat outside."

"Ah!" Huang's mother looked at her in surprise and said, "If you do this, everything can be raised, which will be convenient for us. We don't have to bend over all the time and get tired."

Shen Hui'e's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "That's absolutely right."

"I have to build a taller dining table in my yard!" Huang's mother's eyes fell on the simple table supported by wooden boards in the yard.

"Let's do it! We are not like the nobles who have to take off their shoes when they enter the house. The floors are all wooden. They are polished to a high shine, and you can see your shadow." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "We don't have that condition. We can only stay away from the ground! There will be no insects and ants to bother us."

"Yes!" Huang's mother nodded vigorously, "It's convenient to sit on it. We are not like the noble ladies whose skirts drag on the ground, so it's okay to kneel on the cushion." Pointing to the cobblestone ground, she said, "If it were me, I would be heartbroken if my clothes got dirty. They are made of silk and satin."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "That's right! We have to make things convenient for ourselves based on our lives."

"Whatever's convenient." Huang's mother nodded in agreement.

"Aren't you afraid of people pointing fingers at you?" Shen Hui'e asked curiously.

"What's it to them?" Huang's mother looked at her with her black eyes and said, "We want to do it, but it doesn't hinder them. They have complete etiquette and manners! They are very strict in walking, sitting and lying down. We don't have so many requirements." She said with a smile, "We are in a remote and poor place. We have never seen a noble person. They will not condescend to come." Suddenly she remembered, "Oh! The wood is no longer owned by the nobles. We can also go into the forest to chop wood."

Shen Hui'e's black eyes flashed when she heard that, and she stroked her thigh with her big hand and came to her senses: Not only were the common people driven by the nobles, but the mountains, forests, lakes and rivers where they were used for horse racing and horse encirclement also belonged to the nobles. The common people couldn't even chop wood, let alone wild animals. If they dared to hunt, they would lose their lives.

The produce in the river belongs to the nobles, so you common people have no right to it.

Ever since this genius emperor swept across the world, destroyed small countries big and small, and unified the country, the old nobles of his country have been wiped out.

The common people were given land, which made it possible for them to chop wood, hunt and fish.

Shen Hui'e shuddered at the thought. If it had not been unified, she would have been caught for fishing and hunting.

I can’t even cook because there’s no firewood, so I can only burn hay.

After the crops in the fields were harvested, wheat stalks, bean stalks, corn stalks and the like were used as firewood.

"Life is much better now." Shen Hui'e echoed.

"Yes!" Huang's mother said with emotion, staring at her, "If only my poor son could come back earlier."

"That... Da Chong's mother." Huang's mother hesitated and looked at her and said.

"What?" Shen Hui'e asked her with eyes as clear as water.

"I forgot it again." Huang's mother scratched her head and said, "I can't remember it."

Huang's mother looked at her with dark eyes. Facing such a capable daughter-in-law, she felt uneasy as if she was being scratched by a cat.

She was very uneasy. If her daughter-in-law didn't want her own son, she, as the mother-in-law, couldn't stop her!

If she doesn't have this intention, doesn't my saying this serve as a reminder?

My daughter-in-law is so capable, there must be someone watching her! This man is not blind.

Having given birth to a child is more popular, as it proves that you can have children.

"That..." Huang's mother opened her mouth and looked at Li Nu and said, "Li Nu, go play with your brother. I'll talk to your mother about my personal matters."

"Mother?" Li Nu raised his eyes slightly and looked at his mother and asked.

"Go!" Shen Hui'e said to Li Nu with her gentle eyes.

"Oh!" Li Nu stood up quickly and ran outside.

Shen Hui'e watched her daughter disappear before her eyes, then turned back to look at Huang's mother and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I..." Huang's mother looked at her hesitantly and said hesitantly, "I..."

"Just tell me whatever you want to say." Shen Hui'e looked at her gently and said.

"So..." Huang's mother made up her mind and said simply, "The second son was taken away to repair the imperial mausoleum."

"I know! There are many people doing corvée labor in our county." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes.

"I want to go and repair the imperial mausoleum. If this one is gone, what if something happens to the second son? If you remarry, leave the child to us." Huang's mother looked at her without blinking.

Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "No! I have no intention of remarrying."

"How can there be no man in the family!" Huang's mother looked at her determined attitude in surprise and said, "To farm, fetch water, and chop wood, men are needed." She straightened her back and smiled, "I have many sons, so farming is much easier. For families without sons, women and children farm, their backs are bent with fatigue, and they can't finish the work. They have to ask for help everywhere." She said with a dark face, "If someone takes advantage of you, you have to swallow your anger. The best thing is to find a man to marry."

"If you have money, you can hire someone." Shen Hui'e smiled softly when she heard that.

"How much does that cost? It's not worth it." Huang's mother was delighted when she heard that, but then she shook her head and said, "You have to be powerful to set up a family, otherwise you will be easily bullied."

"Do I look weak?" Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile in her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "The name of the pig-killing lady is not for nothing."

"What if the hired person cheats?" Huang's mother looked at her worriedly and said.

"What about buying cows? Big yellow cows for plowing the fields." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright black eyes and said, "They won't cheat or do anything cunning. I'm afraid that the old yellow cows will be tired!"

"That's right!" Huang's mother smiled and nodded, "If I had more money, I could buy two cows, and then I wouldn't have to worry about farming."

"It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but two-legged people are everywhere." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes and said, "Why do you have to find a man to marry? It's best if we talk about money and don't involve feelings." She added politely, "Payment is settled in cash."

Huang's mother stared at her with her dark eyes, as if she was not lying. "Why do we need to hire anyone? Just ask Dachong's uncles, uncles, and nephews to help."

Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard this, her black eyes flashed slightly, and now she understood some of the meaning. This Huang's mother was really quite wise.
