Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age
Chapter 15 This Widow Doesn't Have to Be
Lan Qiyan doesn't have the time to care about what others think of her. She is very angry now. Why is she not as valuable as Maidong?
But the next step she wanted to exchange for some fine noodles, but this fine noodles required ten kilograms of litchi grass.
What does litchi grass look like? Lan Qiyan flipped through the introduction and looked at the picture for a long time without being able to speak. Isn’t this toad grass?
When they were young, the director's mother would fry eggs with toad grass and feed them to relieve their coughs.
She is familiar with this. Although Toad Grass does not look very good, it has many benefits. It can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, diuretic and anti-edema, and detoxify and relieve itching.
In fact, it has another use, which is to treat hemorrhoids. Fine flour is really expensive, and ten kilograms of toad grass need to be filled in two backpacks.
Fortunately, the Taobao space is very user-friendly and there are no requirements for doing anything, otherwise she would have starved to death and would not have saved up enough ten kilograms.
After deciding on the next task, Lan Qiyan picked up his backpack and continued on his way.
The children in the family had finished their housework and weeded the fields, but it was already noon and their mother had not returned yet.
Yuze couldn't sit still anymore. He looked around at the door, very worried. Could it be that his mother was lost?
"Brother, where are you going?"
"I went up the mountain road to pick up my mother, but she hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid she's lost her way."
"No way, mom knows the way."
"It was my fault. My mother had just gotten married, so I should have gone with her."
"Brother, what you said now is just bullshit. Why didn't you go then?"
Yuze clenched his fists. He didn't expect it, but this guy just slept with his butt sticking up until he woke up naturally. How shameless of him?
"Yes, I didn't follow you. How dare you talk to me when you woke up naturally?"
Yu Xiu whispered, "I have no shame, how could I be too embarrassed to speak."
Yuze really didn't want to pay any attention to his younger brother, so he decided to go find him himself.
"Brother, don't go."
Yuze turned around, "What's wrong? Are you guys trying to stop me too? What if my mother, a weak woman, gets lost? What if she runs into a bad guy?"
"Mom is here, behind you!" Yulin said as he ran over.
When Yuze turned around, he saw his mother bent over by a large backpack. As soon as he raised his foot, he was knocked unconscious by the impact.
"Yu Xiu, did you do this on purpose?"
"Brother, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I was just helping mom carry her things."
Yuze snorted, "You're smart."
Lan Qiyan looked at the backpack carried away by his brothers and felt relieved. Having more children did have its advantages. At least there was someone to share the work with.
Yumian walked with her, "Mom, are there any medicine shops that buy those Ophiopogon japonicus?"
"Yes, I used the money from the sales to buy things, but it wasn't enough, so I lost some of it myself."
Lan Qiyan felt quite guilty when she spoke. She had been thinking about how much to buy. Fortunately, Yumian did not ask so many questions in detail.
"Mom, you don't have to buy so much, and you can keep the money for yourself."
"I only have half a tael of silver, which I earned from my stepmother after working hard for more than ten years."
Yumian felt a little embarrassed, "Mom, have we caused you a great burden?"
Lan Qiyan raised her eyebrows. It was indeed a huge burden. Originally, she was alone and could survive by digging some herbs and exchanging them for food.
But now there are seven more mouths to feed, so the burden is heavy, but everyone is also keeping each other warm.
She is just a weak woman. In the future, her six sons will be able to protect her when they grow up.
So she said, "There are burdens, yes, but there is also happiness.
Don’t think too much, hurry up and clean up and cook. We have to go into the mountains in the afternoon.”
"Mom, have you found any new way out?" Yu Ze turned around and asked.
"Yes, today the little medicine boy secretly told me that they were collecting toad grass recently, so we left Yuxiu and Yulin to look after the house in the afternoon, and everyone else went to dig toad grass."
The first reaction of the other brothers was that their mother was so smart and it was perfect to keep these two people because they had both physical strength and brainpower.
When we got home, we closed the door and went straight to our rooms. The younger ones took out things one by one, becoming more and more excited as they took more.
"Mom, did you buy noodles?"
"Mom, you bought some cloth, are you going to make new clothes?"
"Mom, there are straw sandals here!"
"Give me the lard, and I'll go and make the oil."
"Mom, you actually bought some meat. You're so nice, mom."
……
There were too many children, and Lan Qiyan couldn't tell who was calling them. Anyway, his mother was very good.
She was praised to the sky, and finally she took a break while Yulin helped her grandmother cut cloth to make clothes, and the rest of them kneaded dough, washed vegetables, chopped meat, and made big meat buns.
Old Lady Yu was very happy, "Yanyan has worked so hard, these cloths can make a set of clothes for each of the children, and also a pair of cloth shoes.
But you have to borrow the shoe pattern from your fifth aunt’s house, I don’t have it here.
I'll make two pairs of these for Yanyan. My craftsmanship is pretty good, and I'll definitely make them look good for you."
Lan Qiyan scratched his head and said, "Mom, we each have one, and everyone has one."
"I'm not going to get up, so I have clothes to wear. But you have to work and take care of the kids all day, so you have to dress neatly."
Lan Qiyan pretended to be angry and said, "Mom, if you don't do it for me, I will be angry."
Old Lady Yu laughed, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely do it for myself."
But she still wanted to focus on her daughter-in-law and children. She was paralyzed in bed and could not share the burden of supporting the family with her daughter-in-law. She could only make clothes and shoes for them.
Although Zi'an didn't say it, he must have gone to do something great. Even if he died, at least there would be people to worship him in the future. This is also the last thing his mother can do for him.
Lan Qiyan looked at her mother-in-law with red eyes. She didn't know how to comfort people. She usually dealt with animals. When she saw people crying, she was really at a loss.
He ran out quietly and came to the kitchen, "My dear, your grandma is crying. It's not my fault."
Yuze sighed and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Grandma just misses my dad. Don't worry, we are used to it. She is always like this."
Lan Qiyan stood aside and watched him chop the meat. "Yuze, tell me the truth, is your father still alive?"
"Mom, he wasn't the one who sent us here when we came to Yushi Village. Yulin saw him when he was one year old, but I can't even remember what he looked like."
"So you're not sure?"
Yuze shook his head, "I'm not sure if he's still there, mother..."
Lan Qiyan hushed her and asked her to calm down. If he was gone, it would not be bad to be a widow.
But if it is still there, isn’t this identity a bit embarrassing?
Yuze didn't know what she was thinking, but her facial expressions were always exaggerated.
"What does your father look like, Yuze?"
Yuze thought for a moment and said, "He is a handsome, mature and steady man, and a very loving person, otherwise he would not have adopted the six of us."
Lan Qiyan muttered, "He is handsome, mature and steady. He can live like this. I don't have to be a widow, right?"
Yuze: Did you hear the point?
