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

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mom is out looking for medicine. I won't lose her even if you lose her."

"What medicine are you looking for?"

"Evening primrose, they said it can cure grandma's legs. Mom is really filial."

"How can you let mom go alone? Why don't you call me? I can protect her."

"You? Come on, you're just holding me back."

"That's what I'm saying, second brother, stop making trouble and go to work."

Yu Xiu rolled up his sleeves. He couldn't beat his mother, couldn't talk his eldest brother out, and couldn't play with the youngest, but he could probably beat some of the ones in between.

"Do you want to beat us, second brother? Believe it or not, we will cry right away and beat you when mother comes back."

"Yuzhen, Yumian, Yuqi, you three little bastards, if I don't beat you up today, I won't be called Yuxiu."

"Who are you going to beat?" a female voice sounded behind him.

Yu Xiu turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Mom, they said you went to look for medicine, and I'm worried that you're not safe alone, there are a lot of hooligans in our village.

Next time, don’t go out so late. If you want to go out, bring your son with you. I will protect you.”

"Who are you going to beat?" Lan Qiyan handed him the backpack.

"The three of them said that if I followed you, I would be a drag on you. Mom, do you think I'm really a drag since I'm so capable?"

"Wash and dry the evening primrose."

"Mom, why don't you answer my question?"

"Second brother, mother has already answered." Yulin reminded.

"No, my mother only lets me work."

Several people shook their heads, thinking that the second brother was really honest.

Lan Qiyan walked to the other side and touched the toad grass. There was still a little moisture in it. It should be fine after drying it overnight.

I feel so happy thinking that I can switch to fine noodles tomorrow. I have eaten enough of the black-flour steamed buns.

However, she planned to exchange for 100 kilograms of fine flour, 100 kilograms of rice, brown rice, and some cotton clothes before winter came.

The most important thing is the thatched house. Can it withstand the ravages of wind and snow?

"Yuze, come here, I want to ask you something."

Yuze put down the evening primrose in his hand and raised his head, "Mom, you say."

"Can our thatched house withstand the ravages of wind and snow? Tell me the truth."

Yuze shook his head, "No, the roof would have been gone last year."

"Then how do you survive?"

"We warmed ourselves by the fire at night and repaired the house during the day. We survived the cold."

Lan Qiyan fell into deep thought. She could endure hardship, but she couldn’t endure so much hardship.

She could suffer, but not so much.

"Yuze will stay at home tomorrow to look after the house, and the rest of you will go back to my parents' home with me."

"Mom, why are you going back? Don't they hate you?"

Yuze winked at him. What a stupid guy. He kept talking about things that were irrelevant.

Yu Xiu didn't understand, "Brother, is your eye cramping?"

Everyone was shocked. This guy simply couldn't understand what people meant.

Lan Qiyan didn't care. "It's true that you hate me, but that's my mother's home. Go home often to visit. Do you understand?"

Except for Yu Xiu, everyone else felt that this was not what their mother meant!

After dealing with the evening primrose, Lan Qiyan sent them to bed. She lay on the wooden board and looked at the Taobao page.

Why is there no option to directly redeem for silver? There are 1999 pages in total, with all kinds of items.

On page 888, a sales page appeared. A bundle of firewood cost 6 wen, and wild boar meat cost 40 wen per pound...

Lan Qiyan thought for a while. One tael of silver is 1000 wen. How many bundles of firewood would she have to chop?

Now she truly realized that no matter when, making money is like eating shit, or even harder than eating shit.

However, she still saved this page, just in case she encountered a big wild boar when going into the mountains to look for herbs.

A wild boar weighs at least 300 jin, and one jin is 40 wen. No, that's not right. How much does a wild boar cost like this?

12 taels?

This is a crappy system. It's simply exploitation. A wild boar can be sold for thirty-four taels in the town.

She looked again and saw that there were rabbits. A big rabbit was 100 cents, a small rabbit was 40 cents, and a pheasant was 30 cents.

How come pheasants are so cheap? Pig skinning is simply a waste of her labor.

Do you know how difficult it is to catch a pheasant? I spent so much effort and only got 30 cents.

Lan Qiyan laughed and scolded at the same time, and Old Lady Yu felt no pity at all. She originally wanted to give her child freedom, but this family was too poor.

She gave Yanyan all her assets and a letter of divorce, but this child was too kind and she refused to leave. Otherwise, she would be so worried that she couldn't sleep.

Lan Qiyan: You worry too much. The world is so big, there is no place to call home, and there are dangers everywhere.

Second, I was cursing the Taobao system. I was not worried, I was just venting my anger.

Before dawn the next day, Lan Qiyan packed up the toad grass and ran out. It was not easy to exchange it for some fine noodles, and he had to do it without anyone's knowledge.

But in Yuze's opinion, his mother has a very hard life. She has to go to the town to exchange food before dawn, and then go back to her mother's house when she comes back.

He could only get up and prepare dinner for his mother, trying his best to make sure she had no worries.

Lan Qiyan ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath. The Taobao system rang, and ten kilograms of toad grass were exchanged for ten kilograms of fine noodles.

It's too early to go back now, which will easily arouse suspicion. She can only deceive Yu Xiu, but not anyone else in that family.

While there was no one around, she wandered around the mountains, hoping that she would be lucky enough to come across something good.

I have to say that they were lucky, there was gold everywhere, and they saw a black wild boar where they were digging toad grass. It looked very big, but I don't know how much it weighed.

Lan Qiyan was eager to try, but she didn't have any suitable tools. After she had enough food and clothing, she must get a knife.

The wild boar was extremely sensitive and had already smelled the human scent, but it was also smart and continued to lie down and sleep as if nothing had happened.

Just as Lan Qiyan approached with a thick branch, the wild boar flipped over and rushed towards Lan Qiyan.

Lan Qiyan turned around and ran away, "Oh my god, help me, this thing is playing tricks on me."

The wild boar was chasing behind while Lan Qiyan was running in front. The wild boar had no idea what this human was cursing at in such an ugly voice, but it was quite unpleasant anyway.

Lan Qiyan recalled "Emotional Care of a Sow". She turned her head and looked under the wild boar. It was a boar.

Seeing that the wild boar was about to catch up with her, and she still had ten kilograms of noodles in her backpack, what should she do?

Fortunately, there is always a way out, and people can stimulate their own abilities in desperate situations.

I have been practicing crowing a rooster in the dormitory for so many days, and now it finally comes in handy.

With the sounds of roosters crowing and hens laying eggs, a group of fighting cocks flew out of the woods.

Although fighting chickens are no match for wild boars, they can disrupt their vision.

Finally, after a fierce fight, the wild boar ran away and the chickens left.

He left behind three dead pheasants, performed a prayer for their souls, and then exchanged them for 90 cents.

As the sun was rising, Lan Qiyan went home, carrying the noodles and money, humming a song. His studies in veterinary medicine were not in vain!
