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

Lan Qiyan felt that he was really kind. He only asked for five taels of silver for saving the man.

This way she can repair the thatched hut. She also wants to live to see the colorful world.

I heard that the young men in the capital are all very handsome. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them yet. I can’t freeze to death in this winter.

After Lan Qiyan left, two people came out of the woods and burst into tears when they saw the man on the ground with his clothes torn and his pants missing pieces of cloth.

"It's over, we're done. Did the boss encounter a female bandit?"

"What do you mean, did the boss lose his virginity?"

"Isn't it obvious given the situation?" You just wait and see, I'm going to the farmer's house downstairs to "buy" some clothes.

"It's over. Our boss, a virgin, has been insulted by some audacious thief.

My poor old man, his revenge has not been taken yet, and his body is already broken...ah, who hit me?"

"Are you crying? Am I dead?"

"Woo woo, boss, what's the difference between you and being dead? You've been..."

The man who just woke up immediately fainted again, "You old fool, I can make you angry to death."

"Hey, Boss, I'm the sixth one, can you tell me what happened?

Did the vixen suck your yang energy out of you? I think you're almost drained dry."

"Go away, I met a country doctor who came to collect herbs, he sewed up my wound and took five taels of silver from me."

"So he was saving you. I thought he fell in love with you. You scared me."

"Where's the fourth child?"

"I stole clothes for you...ah, go buy some clothes."

"You have to pay if you take someone else's clothes."

"Fourth brother understands, don't worry, Boss."

It would be strange if he could feel at ease. These guys have always been wild. It is not easy for ordinary people. The clothes of poor families have to be worn in turns.

At the foot of the mountain, Yu Xiu stood at the door and cursed, "Who the hell stole my clothes? They were bought for me by my mother. Do you have any shame?

Why didn’t you steal theirs but mine? I’ve never worn them once. Who on earth is this person who is so shameless? Give my clothes back to me.”

"Second brother~"

"Don't call me. I'm really angry and I don't want to vent it on you."

"Second brother, here are three taels of silver."

Yu Xiu turned around and ran towards Yu Zhen, "Where did you find it?"

"Here, on the wooden stake where you hang your clothes."

Yu Xiu scratched his head and said, "Why didn't I see it just now? It must be that the thief felt guilty after I scolded him, otherwise he wouldn't have given me the money.

How much did mother spend on this dress for me? I remember it cost quite a bit.

Yu Zhen said quietly, "Mom bought one for each of us, and then we acted like a spoiled child and threw a tantrum so the boss lady gave us one for free."

"what does it mean?"

Yuze shook his head. "What do you mean? What do you mean? It's just that your clothes were a gift. Now you have earned three taels of silver. I will confiscate them and keep them for household use. I will report to mother later."

Yu Xiu watched his elder brother put the silver in his pocket before he realized, "Brother, that silver was earned by me, right?"

"Yu Xiu, the money my mother earned is still with me. Aren't you from this family?"

"Yeah, but can you at least let me see it?"

"Mom will be back soon, hurry up and light the fire and cook, don't stand at the door and yell."

"But I'm missing a set of clothes."

"I'll buy it for you later. Go cook."

"That's a deal, don't break your promise."

"When did I lie to you?"

Yu Xiu scratched his head, feeling that his elder brother's words were very familiar.

Yu Zhen's mouth twitched, "Big brother, you lied to second brother again."

"Who said that? Give him my clothes to wear."

Yu Zhen looked at the clothes that his elder brother had worn many times and said, "Your abacus beads are falling on my face."

"You are still young and don't understand your second brother. If his clothes are new, he will never wear them. But if I give them to him, he thinks he is getting a good deal and will keep wearing them."

Yu Zhen didn't bother about his eldest brother's pettiness or his second brother's little quirks. He was curious about who took his second brother's clothes and left three taels of silver.

There's something fishy about this matter, he has to go ask Yulin.

Yuze and Yuxiu had just finished cooking when Lan Qiyan came over carrying an oil-paper bag.

"Kids, I'm back."

Except for Yulin, all the other children ran out.

"Mom, buy some meat buns." Yu Xiu said excitedly.

"I've bought it. Have you prepared the meal? Let's eat right away."

"Mom, I cooked some rice porridge and fried some vegetables."

"Okay, two more buns for each of us."

She handed the oil-paper bag to Yuze and went to wash her face. Some of the younger ones took basins, some fetched water, and some took face cloths...

We can have a happy time in these two thatched houses and the fenced yard.

During breakfast, Lan Qiyan took out five taels of silver and put it on the table, "Yu Ze, take this five taels of silver and find someone to repair the thatched hut.

I don’t know who is in charge of this, take me there and I will be responsible for talking to them.”

“Yanyan, let Xiaoze take you to see the village chief. His eldest son is a craftsman and he can contact the workers.

We can discuss the specific price later. If the price is not suitable, I will go to your brother-in-law."

"Huh? Brother-in-law?" Lan Qiyan suddenly remembered that he had two older sisters-in-law.

"Alas, I used to visit your two sisters' families, but ever since your father passed away and Zi'an disappeared, those three families are not easy to get along with, so they don't come anymore.

Your eldest brother-in-law is a craftsman, and your second brother-in-law is a butcher, so let’s not talk about them.”

The kids looked at each other and decided not to mention it.

They are not the real children of the Yu family. It is a favor for others to help you, and it is their duty not to help you.

Lan Qiyan didn't care at all. She had never seen it before. Now as long as she spent money, was she afraid of not being able to find anyone to do the work?

It doesn’t matter even if the village chief’s son asks for a higher price. She still understands the ways of the world.

After breakfast, Lan Qiyan took Yu Ze to the village chief’s house.

The village chief saw Lan Qiyan hanging around Yu Ze from a distance and quickly called out to his wife, "Mother, have you offended the daughter-in-law of Yu Lao San's family these days?"

"What are you talking about? I'm already so old, and I'm still picking on other people's young wives.

Besides, there is nothing wrong between her and me, so what? Why are you asking this? "

"Look who's that dangling person?"

"Why did she come to our house?"

"I don't know. Let's wait and see."

Lan Qiyan saw the old couple whispering from a distance. There was nothing good to say, but it didn’t matter. As long as she was shameless, the world would give in to her.

When he was about to reach the village chief's house, he immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, is my uncle Chunsheng here?"

"Oh, Yuze, your uncle has gone to the neighboring village to build a house for someone. What's the matter? I'll tell him later."

"We have earned some money from digging herbs and selling firewood recently, so we would like to ask Uncle Chunsheng to repair our thatched cottage for us."

"Is that so? Fine then. Your house really needs repairs, or it won't hold up when the snow comes. Can I tell him when he comes back in the evening?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."

"Why are you being so polite? Come over here and let's talk about how to fix it."

"Ok."

Yuze looked at the mother who was squatting and playing with the puppy, then followed the village chief into the yard.

"Zi'an's, come in and have a drink of water."

Lan Qiyan, who was grinning with his teeth bared, was patted and quickly changed his expression, "Thank you, Auntie, I'm not thirsty."
