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

No matter whether he was kicked by a donkey or not, since it was given to her, she would keep it. Maybe it would be useful in the future.

After putting away the house deed, she took the backpack, said hello to her mother-in-law and went out.

There are only about 10 to 20 cabbages left in the field now, and the rest are spinach.

Today she has to harvest the cabbages and exchange them for silver, otherwise they will be frozen if there is another heavy snow.

Yu Xiu was still sleeping soundly, but the four brothers had already gotten up.

Yuzhen looked everywhere, "Grandma, where is my mother?"

"She went to look in the fields."

"Well, I thought she went up the mountain."

"It's so cold, and there's nothing good on the mountain. She won't go there."

"Grandma, are you too confident in my mother? Are you sure she won't go?"

Old Lady Yu felt a little guilty, but she still said stubbornly, "Your mother won't go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from far away.

"Mom, I found something good in the mountains, haha."

Old Mrs. Yu and the children looked at each other.

Yu Qi shrugged, "Grandma, you guessed wrong."

Old Lady Yu came out and Lan Qiyan had already entered the room.

With grass on his head and mud on his body, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face, "Look, I caught a nest of little hedgehogs."

Yulin asked quietly, "How did mother catch it?"

“I caught it with my hands.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, the whole family is hibernating, so you can kill them all at once."

Lan Qiyan waved his hands guiltily, "No, absolutely not."

"Mom, where did all this grass and dirt come from?"

“It’s not okay for me to fall down, hehe, I think they are quite cute, they hide too shallowly, they will be caught by hunters.

You put them in your backyard so no one will hurt them."

Hedgehog: Is there anyone who speaks for them? When I woke up, I found that I had moved.

What can you do with four sons? Since your mother likes hedgehogs, just raise one and pamper it.

Lan Qiyan put down the backpack, and several children were picking cabbages or hedgehogs.

Old Lady Yu went into the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water. "Yanyan, get some clothes. You clean yourself up."

"I'm here, Mom." Lan Qiyan ran in happily holding the clothes.

As soon as I closed the door, Qin Xiaozhi came in with a basin of soy milk.

"Aunt Wenjing, sister."

Old Lady Yu went to greet him, "Xiaozhi, why are you here?"

"Haha, Auntie, I got up late today, and the soy milk has only been delivered now."

"What's the hurry, Xiaozhen? Go get the copper coins."

Qin Xiaozhi put down the basin and said, "No, this is not valuable. If you give it to me, I won't give it to you again.

Where's my sister? Is she selling vegetables again?"

"I just came back from digging vegetables in the fields. I'm covered in dirt. I'm taking a shower."

"Okay, let's talk later. I'm going to go back and make some tofu. I'll have Xiao Shitou bring it over when it's done."

"Hey, Xiaozhi, this copper coin..." But Qin Xiaozhi had already run far away.

Lan Qiyan came out of the bath after taking a shower, scooped out buckets of water, and scrubbed the tub.

Several children helped her wring out her hair with face towels.

Old Lady Yu came in with the prepared soy milk, "Yanyan, Xiaozhi doesn't want money."

“I guess she thought the chicken was too valuable, so if she didn’t want it, she wouldn’t be angry.

We all help each other, so I'll send some delicious food to her house in the future."

Old Lady Yu nodded, "Okay, listen to Yanyan. By the way, is Yuze going to rest soon?"

"Well, I'll be back soon, maybe in two or three days."

"I wonder how he is doing in his studies?"

"The master said that he would be allowed to take the exam in February. If he could get first place, he would be a Tongsheng."

Old Mrs. Yu was very emotional. If it weren’t for Yanyan, how would Yuze have had the opportunity to study?

While the family was having lunch, they seemed to hear someone arguing.

Lan Qiyan ran away with a steamed bun in his mouth.

Old Lady Yu didn't react at all. "This girl still has a childlike heart and likes to watch the fun."

Turning back, Yulin was the only one left at the table, "Hey, where are the three of them?"

"He ran away with his mother."

"Forget it, we are all people who can't sit still, let's eat our own food."

Yulin nodded in agreement. From the sound he knew something was happening in the old house again. How could his mother not get enough of it?

"Grandma, what do you think of the wife that cousin Yujin married?"

Old Lady Yu shook her head, "Not so good, people say an ugly wife is the treasure of the family.

She is too outstanding, which is not a good thing. There are so many examples in history where women are too beautiful, aren't they all caused by it?"

"Grandma, you mean we can't find someone too pretty in the future."

"Haha, grandma, that's not what you meant." Old Lady Yu leaned closer and said, "Are all the concubines in the royal family beautiful women?"

"Yes."

"Then why can he?"

“Because he has power.”

"That's right, he has the ability to protect those women and won't be hurt because of a woman.

Is it possible for an ordinary family? If they marry a beautiful wife, and one day a powerful person takes a fancy to her and takes her away by force, then the whole family will suffer.”

"What you mean is that beauty is a sin."

Old Lady Yu smiled and said, "Don't kill me with one blow, kid.

Beauty is a sharp sword. If you don't have the ability, you will uglify yourself.

As long as you have the ability, you can show yourself unlimitedly.

I am not bragging. Back then, I was a beautiful woman in this village. At that time, I often smeared my face and made it dirty so that my family could be stable. "

"That grandma thought my mother..."

"Your mother? When your mother was little, she had red lips and white teeth, and was fair and plump, just like a doll in a New Year picture.

Her stepmother was just making things worse. In order to prevent Yanyan from surpassing her biological daughter, she made Yanyan look like this.

But this is also an indirect way of protecting her, otherwise, in our family, I can't protect your mother.

You have no idea how many bullies there are in the town and the county. If they set their eyes on a girl, they will try every means to snatch her back.

Then they would play with them and beat them to death. When their parents and family members went to look for them, they found that some were beaten to death and some were injured.

In today's world, it's hard for any woman with a bit of beauty to be a good-looking woman."

Yulin lowered his head to drink soy milk, and his hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously clenched.

Lan Qiyan had forgotten to eat her steamed corn bread. She struggled to get in, and sure enough, Tie Xiuxiu was causing trouble again.

Liu Dani was so angry that she felt like boiling water and was smoking.

She touched the woman next to her and said, "Auntie, what's going on? Why are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting again?"

The woman winked and said, "You are from Zi'an's family, right?"

Lan Qiyan smiled. Is she so famous now?

"Auntie, it's me. My name is Lan Qiyan."

"Qi Yan, let me tell you." Then she leaned over and talked in Lan Qi Yan's ear for a long time.

Lan Qiyan's eyes grew bigger and bigger, "Auntie, is it so exciting?"
