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

Jade Village

After Lan Qiyan finished his meal, he pushed the bowl away. It would be bad to eat up all the food.

"Yu Lao Er, take a break and come with me to pick vegetables. I will go to town to sell vegetables tomorrow morning."

"Mom, shall I go tomorrow?"

"It's freezing cold, you guys should stay home. It's probably going to snow, so don't follow us."

"Then can you do it alone?"

"Why not? You can also lose weight at the same time."

Yu Xiu looked at her carefully for a while, then said seriously, "Mom, you said you wanted to lose weight the second day you came.

It's winter now, but you still seem to be the same. Mom, you should give up."

Lan Qiyan rolled her eyes. She would definitely lose weight if she kept dieting and exercising.

But after going through so much, she felt that this ugly and fat thing was the safest.

Alas, there is no man to protect her at home, so she can only sacrifice her figure to protect herself.

Yu Xiu thought his mother was angry, so he ran over to comfort her, but Lan Qiyan got so angry that she cursed all his ancestors.

The courtyard was filled with joy, and even Yucao and Yuhua, who came to express their gratitude, were infected by the joy.

After asking, Lan Qiyan found out that Shi Dazhu's family had died, Yucao became a widow, and her husband's house was divided up by relatives, but several families together gave her three taels of silver.

This is also the greatest benefit she can get as a widow, and Yucao is quite satisfied.

Yuni also told her that the little bastards born to her eldest sister were also dead. They stole things in the village and bullied little girls all day long. If they didn't die, they would be a scourge when they grew up.

But the ones in her family haven't died yet. It must be that the snakes didn't bite them too many times and the venom was not enough to just paralyze them.

Without the trouble of their parents, the three sisters have been able to eat well and sleep well these days, and their complexions have improved a lot.

So a matchmaker came to propose marriage. Yuni said that they could propose marriage, but the man’s family must be responsible for supporting her parents and brother.

If this news were to be released, who would agree? A grain of rice is so valuable, how could one support idle people?

So no matchmaker was willing to arrange marriages for the three sisters of the Yu family.

After hearing this, Lan Qiyan admired Yuni very much. This girl was very smart and she saved herself and her two sisters from the dire situation by herself.

As long as the family of five is alive, the three sisters can continue to live in that house.

They can all live for themselves and no longer have to serve others carefully.

Lan Qiyan wanted to cry. A woman had to sacrifice so much just to survive. Women in this era were really pitiful.

But the most pitiful one at the moment is her. When she woke up, she was covered in snow. Wherever she stepped, it was all snow.

She carried a basket full of spinach covered with a layer of hay and walked out of the door in the cold winter wind.

"Mom, let me go with you." Yu Xiu had already gotten up and said while standing at the door.

Lan Qiyan pointed at him and said, "Get back in bed. If you catch a cold, the money you earn from selling vegetables won't be enough to pay for medical treatment.

You guys can cook some food later and clean the snow in the yard."

"Don't worry, mom. I promise that the house will be clean when you come back."

"Go back to bed quickly." He said as he closed the door.

Although she was wearing cotton shoes, her feet were still numb from the cold.

When they were almost in town, Lan Qiyan finally felt his feet regain feeling.

After entering the town, she found a deserted place and exchanged 300 coins on Taobao.

Then he went strolling down the street in a swagger.

It was a little after 6 o'clock at this time and the sky was still dark, but if you looked carefully you could still see many people walking around.

In the crowd, she met a figure that couldn't be more familiar.

The original owner’s biological father Kan Cunliang, and the stepmother Li Sumei.

What are they doing here so early in the morning?

Lan Qiyan walked over quietly.

"Have you bought it yet?"

"I've bought it, but if you don't use this safflower properly, you'll bleed profusely."

"Don't worry, I will find a reliable midwife."

"Cunliang, I'm worried that something might happen to Xinyou."

"Su Mei, don't worry, our daughter will be fine. The Song family promised that they will marry our daughter when Song Lian graduates from high school."

"Then why can't we give birth to this child?"

"They haven't gotten married yet. If the baby is born, they will be used against them by their colleagues. Do you still want to be the mother-in-law of the top scholar?"

When this was mentioned, Li Sumei smiled happily and said, "Then let's go back now."

Lan Qiyan curled his lips. It’s not that easy. Song Lian is just a scholar now.

There are three more exams in between to become a scholar and the top scholar.

According to Lan Qiyan's memory, it seemed that there were provincial examinations and metropolitan examinations, both of which were held every three years, and a total of six years were required.

The final exam that determines one's fate takes place one month after the joint examination, which is the palace examination that everyone is familiar with.

How old is Lan Xinyou? Wait another 6 years?

By then, Song Lian will be in high spirits, and how much attraction will Lan Xinyuo still have for him?

There are so many noble ladies in the capital city. Is there room for Lan Xinyue in Song Lian's eyes?

The original owner's stupid father and calculating mother will end up with nothing.

But the key issue now is that Lan Xinyuo is pregnant, and the Song family still wants to keep it secret.

Recalling Lan Xinyuo and Li Sumei's plot against the original owner, and the Song family's teasing and contempt for her, Lan Qiyan felt that it was better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone, so she decided to have fun together.

When Lan Cunliang and Li Sumei went to the clothing shop, Lan Qiyan had already bought everything the family needed as quickly as possible.

Then she rushed to Taohua Village. She couldn't wait to share such interesting things with everyone.

Near noon, Lan Cunliang and Li Sumei returned to the village.

The villagers looked at them along the way with a half-smile on their face.

The two were confused. Could it be that their plan was exposed?

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard my son crying.

Li Sumei felt very distressed, "Xiaobao, what's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, who bullied you?"

Lan Xiaobao cried even harder, "They said that my sister and brother-in-law were having an affair and got her pregnant. It's so embarrassing."

"Who said that?" they asked in unison.

Lan Xiaobao sobbed, "I don't know, everyone says so."

The two looked at each other and hurried into the house.

Lan Xinyuo's eyes had already turned red from crying, and when she saw her parents coming back, she couldn't stop crying.

"Mom, mom, what should I do? I can't live anymore."

Lan Cunliang sighed, "I'll go to the Song family. Now that everyone knows about it, let's get married."

Lan Xinyou hurriedly stopped him, "Dad, Brother Lian is about to take the exam, this isn't a good time."

Lan Cunliang was a little annoyed. "What's the matter with that? If you delay any longer, your belly will get bigger, and it will be even more embarrassing."

One family was crying with sad faces, one family was cursing angrily, and one village was discussing excitedly.

Lan Qiyan's backpack was full, and she said that she would have to come back sooner or later.

It’s just that I carried too much, and the backpack was really heavy. Looking at the white road ahead, I’m afraid I’ll have to walk until the afternoon.

"It's such horrible weather, it's snowing, and there's no one to talk to." As soon as she finished speaking, a cry made her break out in a cold sweat.

Lan Qiyan quickly begged for mercy, saying that she was wrong and was just joking.

But the crying sound became more and more shrill. Lan Qiyan didn't care about the weight of the backpack at all and ran faster than Bolt!
