After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

As soon as he said this, Jiang Xiaohe felt sorry for the old people in front of her. In her memory, when Zhang Dashan was alive, the two old people also ate well and dressed well, and were the envy of the villagers. But now, in just over a year, it has become like this.

Think about it, if Jiang Xiaohe's family hadn't come to ask for money in the name of taking her away after Zhang Dashan's death, this family wouldn't be living like this now...

Jiang Xiaohe handed him her steamed bun and said with a smile, "Then Dad, eat mine!"

Zhang Fu quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, Dad is not hungry, you eat by yourself."

Jiang Xiaohe broke her steamed bun into two halves: "Dad and I will each have half."

Seeing the look in her eyes that brooked no rejection, Zhang Fu took it.

Jiang Xiaohe walked in front, carrying a backpack, eating steamed buns and saying, "Dad, I will let you and mom live a good life in the future. Believe me."

Zhang Fu walked silently behind, eating the steamed bun in small bites and humming.

Jiang Xiaohe made a lot of money today, and estimated that it was about four or five hundred coins, so she went directly to the grain and oil shop with Zhang Fu.

Looking at the rice, which cost twelve cents a pound, she gritted her teeth and bought ten pounds. Zhang Fu quickly said, "You don't need that much."

"Dad, this food is worth it no matter how much money you spend."

Zhang Fu didn't say anything at this point. After all, all this money was earned by her, so he couldn't say much.

Jiang Xiaohe bought some coarse grains. Coarse grains were cheap, only six cents a pound, so she bought twenty pounds. Finally, she couldn't help but buy a few pounds of white flour. Thinking about how Zeng Hua and Zhang Quan had helped them before, she thought about buying some flour and making dumplings, and inviting their whole family to have a meal.

He asked for some salt and soy sauce, and finally went to the butcher's shop to buy a pound of meat to make dumplings, and spent two cents to buy a bone.

After all the shopping, the backpack was full and half of the money was gone.

Zhang Fu felt very distressed, but he kept reminding himself not to talk too much, not to talk too much, because the money was all earned by his daughter-in-law.

Jiang Xiaohe wanted to take a bullock cart, but Zhang Fu was unwilling: "We bought so many things. If we take a bullock cart, who knows what the people on the cart would say if they saw us."

"Dad, what are you afraid of! Everyone knows that we have fish at home. When the time comes, we can say that we sold the fish to buy this."

After saying that, she forced Zhang Fu to sit on the ox cart. The main reason was that they were very tired after walking to the town in the morning. If they walked back carrying so many things, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on.

Besides, the purpose of making money is to live a better life. If you make money but don’t improve your life, then what’s the point of making it?

She put the meat and bones at the bottom and the coarse grains on top.

When the people on the ox cart saw them, they were shocked that they had bought a basket full of things.

With curiosity, he stared at the basket on Jiang Xiaohe's back and asked, "Why did you buy so many things? What did you buy?"

Jiang Xiaohe opened the cloth bag and sighed, "Aunt Wang, you can see that these are all coarse grains. Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. We caught some fish, but we couldn't bear to eat them. We took them all to the town to sell today, and only then did we get this much food."

When everyone looked, they found that it was indeed all coarse grains. What was so delicious about these coarse grains? Immediately, no one said anything more.

Jiang Xiaohe rolled her eyes in her heart: How could I not know what you are thinking?

When they arrived at the village, Jiang Xiaohe carried the backpack and went home with Zhang Fu.

Wang Qiuxia was holding Zhang Chuan in the yard and coaxing him to sleep. The family's clothes were drying on the clothesline in the yard.

Seeing them coming back, Wang Qiuxia came up to them, eyes shining, and asked with a smile: "Are they all sold out?"

"They're all sold out, mom!"

After saying that, he put down the backpack, washed his hands, wiped his face, and took Zhang Chuan over. This little baby changes every day. In just a few days, he feels like he has grown a lot.

Zhang Fu closed the gate, and Wang Qiuxia started to pack up the things in her backpack. When she saw so much coarse grain, she smiled and said, "So much grain."

Zhang Fu asked her to speak more quietly because the walls have ears.

"There's rice and flour down there."

"It must cost a lot of money to buy so many." Wang Qiuxia said with a frown.

Zhang Fu told her not to talk too much: "It's all the money earned by my daughter-in-law. She can spend it however she wants. And I think my daughter-in-law is also a person who knows what she is doing."

Wang Qiuxia nodded: "Don't worry, I know."

I took this thing out and put it in the kitchen, and I saw that there was still meat and bones underneath.

Zhang Fu took out a steamed bun from his arms and gave it to her.

"This is?"

"Today's business, the manager also gave it to me."

"I don't want to eat it, you give it to my daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Fu stuffed the bun into her hands: "My daughter-in-law and I have already eaten it, and I saved it for you."

Wang Qiuxia felt warm in her heart.

Then he carefully took it, and couldn't bear to throw it away, so he found a bowl and put it away.

Jiang Xiaohe came over holding Zhang Chuan and said, "Mom, eat it. Dad saved it for you. Also, we can use the meat to make dumplings. We can invite our second uncle and second aunt's family to come over in the evening as a token of our gratitude."

Wang Qiuxia looked at Zhang Fu, only to see him nod slightly: "Listen to my daughter-in-law."

After hearing his words, Wang Qiuxia immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the edge of the field and pick some wild onions later."

At noon, Jiang Xiaohe asked Wang Qiuxia to cut a small piece of meat for stir-frying, and cooked white rice. She also stewed bone soup with the dried cowpeas that had been dried last year, and the family had a good meal.

The two old people hadn't eaten white rice for a long time. They felt a lot in their hearts and their eyes were a little moist.

Jiang Xiaohe picked up a piece of meat dish for each of them with chopsticks.

"Dad and Mom, as long as you believe in me, I will definitely let you enjoy happiness in the future."

The two old people nodded silently, thinking that this daughter-in-law was really good.

After lunch, Jiang Xiaohe was going out again with her backpack on her back. Only then did Wang Qiuxia know that someone had asked them to order ten kilograms of wild sweet potatoes the next day.

"Mom is with you."

"That legend..."

"Let your father take care of it."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "That's great, let's go to the mountain to pick some more wild vegetables and mix them with onions and meat to make dumplings."

In the mountains, it was Wang Qiuxia who led the way and finally found sweet potato leaves. After digging up two patches of sweet potato leaves, they found ten pounds of wild sweet potatoes. When the two were about to go down the mountain, they suddenly heard the call of pheasants.

Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "This pheasant must have just laid an egg."

Jiang Xiaohe got excited when she heard this: "Then let's look around and see if we can find any pheasant eggs."

"It's not that easy to find. There are lots of pheasants and rabbits on this mountain, but it's like a human spirit, I can't find it."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't believe it and wanted to go find it and take a look.

It was still early, so Wang Qiuxia let her do as she pleased.

Jiang Xiaohe looked around and saw a pheasant. Just as she was about to catch it, it flew away.

She thought to herself that she would try making a slingshot next time. When she was a child, she lived in the mountains with her grandmother, where there were many pheasants and rabbits. She had used a slingshot to shoot pheasants.

"Let's go back. If the things in this mountain are easy to catch, everyone would come up the mountain to catch them."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, turned around and was about to follow her down the mountain, but she accidentally slipped and fell into a tree cage next to her. The cage was full of thorns, which pricked her so much that she was helpless.

Fortunately, the backpack did not fall over, otherwise all the hard work would have been in vain.

Wang Qiuxia hurried over to pull her.

"Mom, don't pull, I can get out by myself." This pull made the thorns go deeper. He asked her to help take off the basket so as not to damage the wild sweet potatoes. He then carefully pulled away the thorns on his body and was about to get out of the thorny cage. When he looked down, oh my god, this was a pheasant egg.

Wang Qiuxia said that these animals were as smart as human beings. If they hadn't fallen into this cage, they would never have found these pheasant eggs. Fortunately, she didn't fall on it, otherwise they would all be broken.

Pheasant eggs are not big, just small, but there is a nest of them, and there are at least ten of them!
