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

Liu Dani supported the man who was about to fall, "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. We can discuss anything."

Lan Qiyan asked back, "Do you all agree to discuss a solution?"

A group of people nodded, and Yu Ziqing said, "You decide how to solve this problem. Let's discuss this matter today."

Lan Qiyan glanced at the children.

Yuze got a stool from somewhere and said, "Mom, please sit down and talk."

"Well, big boys, you guys can make any requests you want. Mom will support you."

Yulin stepped forward and said, "Since uncle agrees to discuss it, we will not make unreasonable demands.

First, repair our yard. It was you who damaged it. My mother worked all night to do it.

Second, please return all the things that were stolen from our house.

You stole a piece of gray cloth and six feet of blue flowered cloth from my house.

Ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of brown rice, five pounds of dark flour, a can of lard, and eleven meat buns.

An iron pot, two large basins, eight small bowls, four medium bowls, six stools, and three urine buckets.

Four quilts, two blankets, and a straw mat that my mother used as a bed pad.

Six pairs of straw sandals, a copy of Three Character Classic, a copy of Thousand Character Classic, and a copy of Hundred Family Surnames.

There were also three wild pears that Yumian specially climbed up the tree to pick for my mother yesterday afternoon.

In addition, the seedlings in our vegetable garden have been trampled by you, so this request can be discounted.

Don't even think about denying your debts. We all recognize the things in my house. Oh, and there's also the silver hairpin on my mother's bedside table."

Lan Qiyan suddenly looked up. She still had the silver hairpin, how could she not know about it?

Yulin turned around and grinned, "Mom, just wait and see. Whatever others have, I want to have too."

If you have money, I will buy it for you. If you don’t have money, I will blackmail you. Just wait.

The other brothers looked at the sky, the ground, and their feet, and they listened quietly to the youngest brother telling true and false stories.

When they heard the word "silver hairpin", they were not the only ones who reacted. Liu Dani, Malayhua and Cheng Panpan on the opposite side also jumped up.

"How is that possible? We opened the bed and there is no silver hairpin at all."

Malayhua was anxious, "Sister-in-law, what did you say? We didn't even see her bed."

Cheng Panpan had a gloomy face. The sister-in-law was really an idiot. As soon as she said this, everyone knew that they really went to the thatched hut to rummage through everything.

"Yes, we didn't go there at all." Liu Dani denied it after she came to her senses.

Lan Qiyan threw the kitchen knife to the ground, and it stood upright on the ground beneath his feet.

"My son Yulin said that we won't blackmail you, but you must return everything you stole.

Otherwise, I will set fire today and kill people tomorrow. If you don’t let me live well, I won’t let you die well.”

Perhaps Lan Qiyan's words were too serious, Yu Ziqing made up his mind. After all, they were spending the money earned by the fourth brother. It was just a silver hairpin and one or two taels of silver.

"Alright, alright, we'll pay you back in full."

"What are you talking about, boss? A silver hairpin costs one ounce of silver. Do you think she can afford it?"

"Brother, I also think there is no such thing as a hairpin. Yulin is a very clever guy. We must not be fooled by him."

Yulin turned around and said, "Mom, it seems that Second Uncle is unwilling to pay it back. See how we can solve this problem."

Lan Qiyan bent down and picked up the kitchen knife. "Since we can't come to an agreement, let's just deal with it according to the result we couldn't come to an agreement on."

Seeing Lan Qiyan was about to take action, Yu Ziqing slapped Liu Dani in the face and said, "Why don't you go and count the items and return them to your sister-in-law?"

Liu Dani was stunned by his beating, and finally returned all these things.

Yu Ziqing also took his brothers to repair the fence.

Lan Qiyan wore the silver hairpin happily. Although the workmanship was a bit rough, it still looked pretty good.

The children put the things they had received back in their original places, and Yuzhen and Yumian were washing toad grass in the yard.

Yuze took Yulin to cook, Yuqi cleaned the yard, and Yuxiu limped out of the bed, looking around. Mom was so powerful, all her things were back.

At dinner time, Lan Qiyan's hair was tied into a high ponytail with a piece of cloth again.

Yulin took a look and said, "Mother, where is your silver hairpin?"

Lan Qiyan put down her chopsticks and said, "Here, let me talk about something today." She took out her purse, took out the three taels of silver from it, and kept the remaining change.

"Yuze, you are the eldest in the family. These three taels of silver and this silver hairpin are all our belongings. From now on, you are the head of the family. You are in charge of all the expenses of the family."

Yuze seemed to have received a hot potato, "Mom, you are the boss, we all listen to you."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand and said, "I won't do it. It's too much brainpower. From now on, all the money I earn and the food I exchange for herbs will be given to you.

I don’t know how to cook anyway, so I just work and wait for dinner.

I plan to train Yu Xiu to be our family's protective umbrella, someone who can fight and work.

As for Yuzhen and Yuqi, the interpersonal relationships in the village are left to you.

Yumian, you are temporarily in charge of mobility, which means you need to go wherever you are needed. When you grow up, you will be responsible for making money.

With your appearance, just go to that station, take a look and you'll get three cents, touch and you'll get one tael, and I'll be in charge of collecting the money.

Yulin, you are the brain of our family. If there are any difficult and complicated problems, you will be responsible for finding solutions."

The six brothers were all frowning. Mother's assignment was really good. Especially Yumian was stunned. Was Mother going to let him become a member of the brothel?

"Mom, what are you responsible for?" Among the six brothers, there is always one who is brave and not afraid of death.

Lan Qiyan looked at Yu Xiu. Not bad, he was very brave. She smiled and said, "I will be responsible for enjoying the happiness."

"Mom, how old are you? You're already biting your son like this?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? We have six sons. There's no problem with their retirement."

"But mother is not old enough to need care in old age." Yu Xiu scratched his head. He really couldn't understand, is this the only ambition his mother has?

Lan Qiyan is not stupid. None of these children have simple backgrounds. They don’t tell her the details and she doesn’t ask.

I don’t know if I will be implicated by them and thrown into jail or beheaded.

If you don’t prepare for retirement now, you may not have the chance in the future. It makes me cry just thinking about it.

Old Mrs. Yu, who was lying on the bed nearby, couldn't stop smiling. Yanyan was so cute.

She became even happier when she saw the six boys’ faces turning purple from being suffocated.

The six brothers looked at their grandmother who was gloating over other’s misfortune and their mother who was calm and composed. What was going on?

No wonder people say it’s a relief to be a non-official. It’s really relaxing not to be the head of the family.

After eating, she pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside. There was nothing else to do. She admired the night sky in the yard for a while and then went out.

Because she wanted to find a kind of herb - evening primrose, which can eliminate rheumatism, strengthen muscles and bones. The only thing it can be used for is its roots, which can be dried and then made into tea.

My mother-in-law's legs could be used. Although she was a veterinarian and usually treated her own illnesses, she still didn't dare to treat her mother-in-law's legs as if they were cats or dogs.

Otherwise, can I exchange five kilograms of evening primrose for a box of ready-made ointment?

Yu Xiu, who had just finished washing the dishes, came out and saw that his mother was no longer in the yard admiring the starry sky. He turned around and asked, "Brother, is mom missing?"
