Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

As soon as Lan Qiyan arrived at the place, Yu Ziqing's wailing came into his ears.

If nothing unexpected happened, he must have been up to no good and was beaten by Yuyin.

Sure enough, Yuyin broke both of his legs with a stool.

Since Yu Ziqing was not wearing pants, Lan Qiyan was carried home by several children.

"I didn't even take a look. Was this trip in vain?"

"Mom, I got corns from looking at it."

"Mom, you have to keep watch for my dad."

"Yumian, what you said is a bit too feudal. I don't know whether your father is dead or alive.

I don’t know if he’s ugly or handsome, and I don’t even know if he’s my type, so why should I stay with him? ”

Yumian wasn't worried at all, "Don't worry, mom. When you see dad, I guarantee you'll have a nosebleed, no matter how tall or handsome he is."

“Is it that exciting?”

“It’s very exciting.”

"Then I still have some expectations, but it's still unknown whether he's dead or alive."

"I don't think my dad is dead. They say that mother and child are connected by heart. Look at my grandma. She is very stable. This means my dad is fine."

"Grandma has been through a lot, and her emotions have always been stable.

Look at these children, each one of them has trouble every day. Why do you think grandma’s mood is so stable?

Isn't that all the result of practice? But my fifth brother counted correctly, Dad must be fine.

Don't worry, mother. If father is really gone, I will find a handsome husband for you."

Lan Qiyan was so moved that she dared not move at all. Wow, the most filial one is still her youngest son.

Yu Qi twitched his lips, "Sixth Brother, can you please stop making promises for your mother? Look, your nose is bleeding."

Yu Xiu looked at her and shook his head, "Mom is thinking about love, and it's not spring yet."

Lan Qiyan slapped him directly, "You little bastard, are you talking like a human being? Go home."

Several children chased after her, and Yu Xiu also chased after her happily, "Mom, why are you walking so fast?"

"sleep."

"Are you sleepy?"

"Yeah, you only dream when you fall asleep."

"What do you want to dream about?"

"Ten or eight handsome men."

Four brothers: Mom, are we a little too greedy?

Lan Qiyan didn't care what the four children thought. She just wanted to sleep and dream, and she couldn't let herself suffer.

Old Mrs. Yu was very tired. Her eldest son had both legs broken, her second son had his third leg broken, her third son was living cautiously, and her youngest son's whereabouts were unknown. Although everyone in the village said he was dead, as a mother she knew that he was definitely not dead.

Her two daughters, even though they are not her biological ones, were raised by her with great care.

One is stubborn and refuses to change, while the other is poor and destitute.

But if you think about it carefully, this is all retribution.

They are all stained with human life, or are planning to kill someone.

At present, it seems that only the third son is smart.

The old man is gone, so she doesn't ask anymore.

I believe that all the ancestors of the Yu family are watching her, and she will try not to see them after she dies.

So who knows that Lan Qiyan has a new goal, which is to wait for his mother-in-law and bury her at the ends of the earth.

This was just to avoid meeting the ancestors of the Yu family, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to explain.

Lan Qiyan is under a lot of pressure. Who understands the pressure of a young widow?

The mother-in-law needs to be buried far away, and the six sons need to eat, go to school, and get married...

Lan Qiyan is emo. He can’t sleep at night and can’t wake up during the day.

I wandered into the mountains late at night, just to see if I could come across some rare treasures...

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day, Yuze and Yuzhen came back by themselves, and Lan Qiyan hadn't gone to pick them up yet.

She looked at the two children and criticized them. What if a beggar saw that they were good-looking and took them all away?

She also repeatedly warned him not to come back secretly and to wait for her to pick him up.

The two brothers accepted their mother's criticism and education with a smile. Their mother was worried about them.

Yu Xiu curled his lips and said, "Why are you two laughing? Mother, let me get you a stick and beat you up."

Lan Qiyan turned to him and said, "Stay away from Ma Yipanrou when you talk. I'm afraid your saliva will flow into it."

Yu Xiu immediately started yelling, "Mom, there are mice in our house. I'm watching them."

"Come on, you're the biggest rat in our family."

"Mom, don't you have any trust in your son anymore?"

"No." Lan Qiyan answered simply and concisely.

This made Yu Xiu cover his chest directly, "It's over, my brother doesn't love me anymore, you gave all your love to them, and didn't give me any."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand and said, "Go for a walk and show everyone how much good food you've eaten to gain that body of flesh."

Yu Xiu's face turned red, "Mom, you can't say that."

"Well, stay away from the meat, you little brat. That's our New Year's ration, not something we can eat in one meal."

In order to prepare for the New Year, she bought 30 kilograms of pork, 20 kilograms of bones, 30 kilograms of pork fat, as well as rice, flour and other small items, which almost exhausted her to death.

But if you want to finish this thing now, there’s no way.

After dinner, Yuze took out five taels of silver and said, "Mom, take this for the New Year."

Lan Qiyan was suspicious, "Where did you get the money from?"

Yuze smiled and said, "I earned it by writing books for others. The third brother also wrote one."

"Has it affected your studies?"

They both shook their heads, "No."

Lan Qiyan looked up, and the two men thought that he had been beaten, so they stopped moving immediately.

She pressed the dark circles under the brothers' eyes and said, "Do you think I don't know anything? You should study for at least six hours a day, minus one hour for eating, and you still have five hours left.

The copyist on the street charges about 200 coins for a book. How many books can he copy with five taels of silver?

How old are you two? One is 12 and the other is 9. It's the time when you are growing up. Do you squeeze out your sleeping time to copy books every day?

Is your family short of money? Who told you to do this?"

Lan Qiyan was really angry. "Children should rest well and study hard. Making money is the job of adults."

Yuze didn't think much of it. His mother was so young. Even though he had money given by his father, the tuition had to be paid and He Yunchuan couldn't refuse it. He had a family to support, and it would be difficult to explain if he refused.

The two brothers spend twenty taels a year. How can an ordinary family expect to earn twenty taels?

They haven't heard from their father for a long time. If the money stops coming in, then mother will have to work hard. Although she calls her mother, she is just a newly married woman and is already miserable. Do they have to keep asking her to find ways to make money?

My mother may have some skills, but they can only provide us with food and clothing, and there are also various exorbitant taxes and levies.

"Did you two hear that?"

"I heard it, don't be angry, we are not copying from books, we are making up our own stories."

Lan Qiyan became interested when he heard it, "What story do you want to make up?"

Yu Zhen was surprised, "Mom, don't you know that those rich ladies like to listen to books when they have nothing to do?"

Lan Qiyan understood, so it’s just reading a novel?

"I have many stories, would you like to hear them?"

"Really?" Yu Zhen asked.

Lan Qiyan said proudly, "My head is full of stories, all kinds of them, whatever you need."

Yu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It's been popular recently that young ladies from aristocratic families run away with poor scholars."

"Oh, it's just a loser's dream."
