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

However, this plan failed in the womb because she was too lazy to get up.

Except for Yu Xiu, the other children had already expected it.

Just when Yu Xiu was feeling complacent, several younger brothers, following the instructions of their eldest brother, began to bombard Yu Xiu in turns.

At the beginning of February, Yuxiu and his younger brothers also started growing old.

All the children have grown taller, and Lan Qiyan is proud of them, because it is all because of her raising them well.

After staying at home for a whole winter, she is going to start making money.

Dressed neatly, carrying a backpack and holding a small shovel, they set off.

"Mom, what are we going to do?"

"Let's go up the mountain and play with the dirt."

"What's so fun about soil? If you want to play, just play in the vegetable garden."

"Fourth Brother, tell your second brother what we are going to do."

Yu Qi received the order, "Second brother, we are going to the mountain to find herbs."

"What are you looking for herbs for?"

Lan Qiyan couldn't stand it any longer, "Eat, I'll eat it, okay?"

"Mom, are you sick? Are you feeling unwell? Will you die? What if you die?"

Lan Qiyan wanted to die on the spot.

"If you die, I will have no meat to eat."

Old Lady Yu grabbed his ears and said, "Why are you howling? Your mother doesn't want to find herbs or exchange them for money, and you still want to eat meat? You can go and starve."

Yu Xiu covered his ears and grimaced, "Grandma, the northwest wind is almost over, the southeast wind will give us something warm to drink."

The family was still arguing at the door when a figure came running over from a distance, "Aunt, Aunt."

"Mom, we're hoping for a boy," Yulin reminded.

Lan Qiyan greeted him with a smile, "It seems that Pan Nan has found another treasure."

Pan Nan panted and took out a piece of grass from the backpack, "Aunt, look at what this is, I don't know."

Lan Qiyan took it and looked at it carefully. "This is Artemisia capillaris. As the saying goes, Artemisia capillaris in February is the best, Artemisia argyi in March is the best, and Artemisia capillaris in April and May is the best for burning. It is the most effective herb in February. It is the only herb that grows in this month. I hope you have good eyesight."

"Will Auntie accept it?"

"Yes, of course I should. How about I give you 20 wen per jin? I can sell it for 25 wen."

"Aunt, just give me ten cents. This business is yours. You have a large family. If you don't make enough, how will you eat?"

"We drink the southeast wind, which is still warm." Yu Xiu said.

Old Lady Yu slapped him and walked away, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Lan Qiyan smiled and said, "Pan Nan is very sensible. Don't worry, auntie knows what's going on."

I don’t know if it’s because Artemisia capillaris can treat hepatitis, so the price is particularly friendly. I can get 100 wen per catty, and she buys it at 20 wen per catty. The 80 wen difference is exchanged for food, which is a great deal.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll go dig it then."

"Yu Lao Er, go with Pan Nan."

"I see, Mom, then will you give me money?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense after I gave it to you? Go quickly."

Pan Nan smiled and said, "Brother Yuxiu, I know where there are a lot of Artemisia capillaris. I'll take you there to dig."

Yu Xiu looked back every few steps, "Mom, you guys are not going."

"Go ahead, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lan Qiyan turned around and told Old Lady Yu, "Mom, go to the village chief's house and ask him to tell the villagers that if they have nothing to do at home, they can go dig Artemisia capillaris, pick it, wash it, dry it, and come to me to exchange it for money."

Old Lady Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Yanyan, I'll be there right away."

"There is also this one that looks similar to mugwort, but the leaves of Artemisia capillaris are small, while those of mugwort are big. Mom, take one over so that people don't dig the wrong one."

"Okay, okay, you've thought of everything, don't worry."

Lan Qiyan then took the children up the mountain. After Old Lady Yu told the village chief, the village chief's wife was very happy, "Sister-in-law, your Qiyan is a good man. He is trying every way to increase the village's income."

Old Lady Yu agreed, "Sister, I won't be polite. Qi Yan is indeed very reasonable. As long as you don't act unreasonably and don't provoke her, she will consider everything for you.

Starting from this month, there are herbs in almost every month, such as Artemisia capillaris in February, Imperata cylindrica in March, and dandelions in April..."

The village chief quickly beat drums and gongs to gather people at the entrance of the village. When the villagers heard that Yinchen cost twenty cents, almost all of them went out with their families, except for the brothers who were unable to walk.

Take advantage of the slack season to earn as much as you can.

The people in the Yu family’s old house also found out about it, so Sanya and Siya ran away secretly because they wanted to earn money for themselves.

Malayhua knew that they were going out but did not stop them. After what happened once, she realized that no one could be trusted, and she spent all her money trying to save her life.

We really don’t have much money now, so it’s a good thing that my two daughters can support themselves.

She has been very annoyed recently. Yune has been clamoring for a wife every day. Although there are four houses, the place is too small. How can she marry two daughters-in-law?

Yu Ziping doesn't want to do any work. Once asked to work, he will be very nervous and desperate.

She saw that the second wife's life would only get worse and worse, so she had to think about herself.

The eldest wife didn't move at all. After Yu Ziqing's leg was broken, Liu Dani put the remaining thirty taels into her pocket.

Don't even show him his leg, it's fine as he is just a limp.

Yu Ziqing's legs had grown crooked without a doctor's help to set his bones, and he couldn't walk at all.

He cursed in the house all day long, but Liu Dani acted as if she couldn't hear him.

Yu Jin Yu Yin ignored his shouting and cursing, but Tie Xiu Xiu was very annoyed.

Because she found that Yu Jin was not as caring towards her anymore, and she would not comfort her even when she said she had stomach discomfort.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Yu Jin was not as simple as it was now.

Yuyin didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he lived on his own with the two houses. He wanted to make good money, then build a house and leave this home.

Cheng Panpan and Yu Zitian were quick-witted and they also went up the mountain with their two children.

Who doesn't want to make money? It's just about giving Lan Qiyan a smile. Only by being able to bend and stretch can you live a good life.

Just as they expected, after only ten days of digging for Yinchen, they had already earned one or two taels of silver, and families with more people earned two or three taels.

Lan Qiyan looked at the yard full of Artemisia argyi and could only say that the quantity ordered was enough, so he would not collect them for the time being and would collect Imperata cylindrica next.

Lan Qiyan carries a backpack with about 30 kilograms on his back every day. He goes out early in the morning and can handle over 100 kilograms in a morning.

One catty costs 100 wen, after deducting the cost of 20, you can earn 80 wen per catty, 800 wen for 100 catties, 8000 wen for 8 catties, or taels.

There are about 300 kilograms in the yard, which means I can earn 24 taels from them.

The upper limit of Taobao space is 10 taels of silver, and the rest can be used to buy food.

14两银子，她买了20斤油，花了2两，100斤细面和200斤粗面共5两。

He also bought 10 pairs of straw sandals for 70 wen and ten pieces of cloth for 2 taels of silver.

The remaining silver was used to buy fine rice, two small knives, and 5 jin of salt.

The prices of these things were similar to the market price, so Taobao Space didn't cheat her this time.

She spent four or five days going back and forth on these things, and was so tired that she lost several pounds.

Old Mrs. Yu felt so distressed that she tried to cook delicious food for her every day.
