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

Yu Zi'an took the two children, the ten taels of silver given by Lan Qiyan, and the two brothers of the Li family and left before dark.

Lan Qiyan returned home and exchanged the five pheasants for silver.

It’s better to have a man. The pheasants caught were all big ones, and each could be sold for 600 coins, so I got three taels of silver in total.

Having a fortune is not as good as making a fortune every day.

Besides, she doesn't have that much.

Reed root is very cheap, only 200 wen per pound, so she could only give them 20 wen per pound.

I think I have the potential to be a profiteer.

She had no choice but to do so. 20 cents was already a sky-high price, and she couldn't pay any more. She didn't want to arouse suspicion.

She required that the reed roots must be washed clean and dried in the sun until there was no water on the surface.

It is May now, which means we can dig for a month. The three sisters Yuni can dig 5 jin a day, which is 4 coins a day, and more than one or two taels of silver a month.

Work hard to get rich. Although you may not be much richer in this dynasty, at least you won’t starve to death.

Seeing that adults and children in the village were digging thatch roots, the people in the old house also became eager to try.

I plan to go and talk to Lan Qiyan about it. Now that the fourth brother is back and those two troublesome sisters are gone, the four brothers are from the same mother. Even if they quarrel again, it won’t be a fight to the bitter end.

However, they did not have the courage to discuss it directly with Lan Qiyan, so they found Old Lady Yu first.

When he entered the room, he deliberately asked, "Mom, where are my fourth brother and his wife?"

Old Lady Yu looked up and found that it was the three shameless daughters-in-law.

She didn't give them a good look, "She went to dig up thatch roots. Do you have something to do with her?"

Liu Dani laughed and said, "Mom, we have something to ask you."

Old Lady Yu was shocked. When had this thing ever begged her for help?

Now it's like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions. She looked at her three daughters-in-law warily and said, "Don't beg me. Yanyan is the head of my family. I'm just the one who's responsible for the housework and cooking."

Although Liu Dani felt uncomfortable, she endured it when she thought about making money. "Mom, listen to me, our family is almost unable to make ends meet..."

Old Lady Yu interrupted her directly, "Do you believe what you said?

Your family has more than ten acres of land, and you have stored a lot of food in a year. We only have two acres of land here, and we have a group of children. We are the ones who can't afford to eat. I still want you to help me."

"Mother, that's not what my eldest sister-in-law meant. She wanted you to discuss with my fourth brother's wife whether they could also accept our things."

"Now I remember that you guys were bullying me back then, and now you're coming over here to make money for me. Do you still have any shame?"

Malayhua was embarrassed, and Cheng Panpan said, "Mom, no one is perfect. We know we were wrong and we can correct it now. How can you kill us with one blow? At least give us a chance."

Old Lady Yu shook her head, "You are wrong. I now understand Yanyan's personality. Anyone who has offended her will never get any benefit from her again.

Last time when we were making clothes, the guy who took the cannon away and forced Yanyan to build a house, her thatched cottage was not willing to be accepted by Yanyan. "

"My sister-in-law is going a bit too far, and we are all doing this for her own good.

If she continues to do this, what if the whole village offends her?"

"Then I won't use this village. I'll go to other places to collect." Lan Qiyan came in from outside carrying a backpack.

The three sisters-in-law were a little panicked for a moment. Why did this evil god come back?

Seeing Lan Qiyan coming back, Old Lady Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to speak well.

"Sister-in-law, we are here to discuss something with you."

Lan Qiyan waved his hands. "Impossible. Let's not discuss it. Just make money the way you want to. Don't get involved with me."

"Lan Qiyan, as your sisters-in-law, we have already put down our attitude, why are you still pushing it further?"

Yu Xiu and Old Lady Yu were quietly washing the roots of the thatch plants. There were always people seeking death, and they couldn't stop them.

Lan Qiyan was ready to fight. It had been a long time since he last beat anyone up, and his hands were still itching.

Liu Dani stepped back repeatedly, "What are you doing? What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

Lan Qiyan pressed on, "Do I need to pick a date for what I want to do? Do I need to discuss this with you guys?"

The three sisters-in-law retreated to the door, turned around and ran away.

Lan Qiyan held her stomach and laughed. She hadn't even made a move yet, but he had the guts to challenge her.

Seeing the three men coming back in a mess, the three brothers in the yard seemed to have expected it.

Who is Lan Qiyan? She is stingy, lustful and greedy for money. She is not a good person at all.

"Failed, right? I told you when you were planning to look for it, it's no use.

Lan Qiyan won't let you make money. You don't know her well. Just take good care of our land and we won't lack food and drink. "Yu Zitian said.

Cheng Panpan looked at Yu Zitian. Yu Zitian was a little nervous. Why was he looking at him like that?

"How is your relationship with your brother, Yu Zi'an?"

Yu Zitian thought for a while, "Not too bad, not too good either. He was rather cold and quiet. Later he went out to make his own living, so we seldom met. But he often sent money back, otherwise he wouldn't have this big blue brick and tile house."

Cheng Panpan sneered, "Then there's no hope. Your emotional appeal won't work."

What could Yu Zitian say? The brothers were just not very familiar with each other.

“Yesterday someone saw your fourth son coming down the mountain with five pheasants.

How great it would be if you had a good relationship, we could eat chicken now, at least each family would get one.

Now, nothing happens to us, and your mother doesn’t support us either.”

Yu Zitian waved his hand, "Stop talking, hurry up and cook, I'm hungry."

Similarly, Liu Dani and Ma Laihua were also very angry.

They were not allowed to make clothes, dig herbs, or even share good things like pheasants with them. They were so heartless.

Don't let them dig?

Humph, they dig it themselves and sell it themselves!

Unfortunately, they were wrong. At the end of the day, the three of them dug a total of 3 kilograms.

They took the 3 kilograms of fish home and started washing and drying them, but a heavy rain at night broke their beautiful dreams.

Liu Dani was so angry that she threw the thatch roots into the rain. She was so annoyed that she refused to do it anymore.

Lan Qiyan was sleeping soundly. In the evening, she smelled the damp fishy smell in the air, so she put the reed roots in the utility room in advance.

Old Lady Yu slept in the next room. She made a curtain with cloth to divide the kang into two parts. She was on the right and Yu Xiu was on the left.

The spring thunder kept beating the earth, and she, who usually slept well, suddenly suffered from insomnia.

She has gotten used to having Yu Zi'an by her side in the past twenty days, and she couldn't sleep tonight without him.

"Oh, my life is so miserable."

"What's the pain?"

Lan Qiyan was about to scream when a pair of warm hands covered her mouth, "Shh, it's me, I'm back."
