Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Chapter 26 2 Lang's Thoughts

There were many poisonous insects in the countryside at that time. Not only animals, but even people were bitten to death.

Not to mention the ones far away, Su Yan knew of a recent case. Last year, an old man from the neighboring village was fine the day before, but his family found that he was dead the next day.

There was a long mark on the neck where a poisonous insect had crawled.

It can be seen that being bitten to death by poisonous insects was not uncommon at that time, so Su's mother did not think it was strange that her daughter specifically mentioned this.

They didn't know that lime could have this effect before. She thought that when she got home, she would not only spread it around the chicken coop, but also use it on her own piglets.

I also sprinkled it around my house. Lime is not a rare thing anyway, and there is plenty of it in the ditch behind the mountain.

One day, let the men in the family dig two baskets. It will last for a long time and is not a big deal.

Therefore, she agreed to Su Yan's instructions and told Su Yan not to worry and that she would have someone do it when she got home.

Seeing that her mother took the matter to heart, Su Yan didn't say much.

Two people cook faster than one, and they finish the meal quickly while chatting and laughing.

After serving out the meal left for Su Erlang, the three of them sat at the table to eat.

After lunch, Su Yan took her mother to deliver food to Su Erlang at the dock.

Carrying bags at the dock is hard work. Su Erlang was clean when he came, but now he is covered in dust.

Su Yan wanted to say something, but felt that he did not have enough strength to do anything yet, so he did not speak in the end.

In the end, I had no choice but to call Su Erlang out for dinner with mixed feelings.

Su's mother and Su Erlang didn't feel anything. The busy harvest season was much more tiring than this and they had no time to rest.

Although I am working on it now, it is counted and not settled on a daily basis, so it is okay to take a break if you want to.

It's just a little less money.

Su Erlang was quite happy and satisfied. His mother didn't take the money he earned and kept it all for herself, so he was very motivated.

Besides, labor costs in the county are more expensive, so it’s more cost-effective than working in town.

After a while, he calculated that he had earned about ten cents.

If you work for a day, you can earn thirty or forty cents!

If you can do this for a long time, you can earn one or two taels of silver a month. Isn't it better than farming?

He was thinking about it very much, and when he saw his mother and sister coming to bring him food, he came over without saying a word.

The few of them found a secluded corner, Su Yan took the food out of the basket and gave it to him, and the two of them sat beside him and waited for him to finish his meal.

Su Erlang took a few big bites before telling his mother and sister what he was thinking.

Su's mother was the first to hit him, "You only think about coming to the county, but you don't think about how far our home is from here. You come in the morning and leave at night, and do this physical work during the day. Over the years, your body will be worn out."

Moreover, what Su's mother didn't mention was that she had to pay for lunch. Sometimes, when the city gates were closed, she had to stay at her daughter's house.

It would be fine if he had always been alone, after all, he is my son-in-law's brother-in-law.

It would be a shame to send some more food to my son-in-law's family so that my son can go there for a meal, or even stay there occasionally.

She was afraid that once she started it, the people at home, especially her eldest sister-in-law, would immediately send some trouble.

How could she refuse then?

Although everyone knows and understands that Yanyan is Erlang's biological sister, it is natural to treat Erlang differently.

But since the family has not split up, this difference cannot be made public.

Otherwise, not only will the mother-in-law be unhappy, but the father-in-law will probably also be unhappy.

The eldest brother will also have some opinions, and her husband probably won’t be able to bear it.

Although a family can take care of each other when they are together, we have to admit that when something happens, you have to consider everyone's feelings and subsequent troubles.

Especially since her eldest sister-in-law is the type of person who only takes advantage and never suffers any loss, and her mother-in-law is partial to her eldest son and can't bear to let his family suffer a disadvantage.

In the end, the second branch will definitely be the ones who suffer the most after all the fighting.

If that's the case, then why should she start this? Since it's difficult to be a girl, it will cause trouble for her later.

She thought so, but she couldn't tell Su Erlang about this, so she could only reject him in other ways.

Su Yan didn't think too much about it, but she also felt that what Su's mother said made sense.

After all, this is physical work and it's tiring.

If you save money but don't eat well, you will become exhausted in a matter of minutes.

But if you eat well and the money you earn is not this much, it is not worth it.

Moreover, Su Yan said, "The docks don't have business every day. After all, we are a small county, and there are not many merchants who transport goods to us by water."

Su Erlang, who thought he had found a way to make money, felt that his mother and sister's analysis was correct, but he was still a little dejected.

Su's mother couldn't stand his listless look, so she slapped him on the head and said coldly, "If money was so easy to make, people in the village would have run to the county long ago. Look at you, you can't handle anything, and you're still a father! How are you going to manage the family for my eldest grandson in the future?"

Su Erlang felt embarrassed by what his mother said and felt that he was too naive.

Su Yan told the truth, "Erlang has never experienced this before. He will know after experiencing it once."

Then he turned to Su Erlang and said, "Let me look around the county and see if there's any place hiring people long-term, and then I'll ask you to come. Short-term work is unstable after all. It's fine to make some quick money, but long-term work doesn't provide any security."

Su Erlang then became happy, knowing that his sister always knew more and he should just listen to her.

Without thinking any more, Su Erlang quickly finished his meal and went back to the dock to continue working.

Since we don’t know when we’ll come next time, we have to work harder this time.

Carrying more bags means earning more money, which can be used to buy some candy or something to sweeten my son's mouth in the future.

Su Yan put the dishes and chopsticks into the basket and took her mother around the county.

To be honest, although Su's mother had been to the county several times, she had never really been around the county.

When I followed my daughter around, I realized that the county was so big and the things sold there were so many different kinds.

"Oh my god, there are still people selling straw sandals here? Who would buy straw sandals? It would be much more economical to make them at home."

Su Yan had to admit that what her mother said was right. After all, most people who wore straw sandals at that time were from poor families.

Since the family is poor, why would they come out to buy straw sandals?

Can't you do it yourself at home? It's free and easy.

It just doesn't look very good, but our family members don't care about that, as long as it's wearable.

Sure enough, there was no one in front of the stall selling straw sandals. Compared with the surrounding stalls, it was extremely deserted.

The two were sighing over the stall when a few teenagers came over from the opposite direction.

Su Yan glanced at their decorations and didn't recognize any of them, but from their aura, she could clearly tell that they were the sons of wealthy families.

Passersby also avoided the few people for fear of getting into trouble.
