After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Everyone looked at each other, staring at each other, with nothing to say.

Eat quickly so you can go to work in the fields. We have to work harder while the weather is good.

Daniu said, "Mom, what did the doctor say?"

Don't worry, you three should have a good rest. Doctor Liu said that you have recovered very well. In another week, you will be able to walk around slowly. But you still cannot work, so you should just lie in bed for the next few days and don't crawl around.

I'm going to your Aunt An's house.

Anniang, are you there?

An Niang and Tie Zhu were drinking water at home, looking sweaty.

"What's wrong with you two? It's not hot."

"Yun Tao, stop talking. It's all because of you."

"Because of me, because of me and what, I didn't do anything."

"Have you forgotten that you dug up ginseng in the mountains? Now every family that has access to a mountain goes out to look for ginseng, including Old Wang's family."

"Yun Tao, you really didn't see the situation on the mountain. The whole family went out. There were many people on the first day, but it's a little better now. Many families didn't find ginseng, and the villagers didn't know what medicinal herbs were, so many families didn't go to the mountain. The lucky ones caught a few pheasants or something."

What about you, An Niang, what did you find?

An Niang and Tie Zhu smiled sheepishly, "We didn't find anything, not even any ginseng. Hahahaha..., we were lucky enough to catch a pheasant, so we can have some meat today. There are also a lot of edible wild vegetables on the mountain, so we brought back two baskets, and the leftovers were fed to the chickens and ducks."

Yun Tao looked at the two happy people and felt happy too.

An Niang, Tie Zhu, can you two help me cut down some pine trees? Just a dozen or so will do, and cut each tree into the height of a small person. Drill a hole every three to five centimeters in each pine tree, and the depth is about three to five centimeters, which is the length of our index finger.

Iron pillar, do you think you can make it? If you succeed, I will give you 80 cents together with the wood. What do you think?

Tiezhu nodded happily: "Of course, it's okay, but they're too much. The wood doesn't cost anything, it just grew in the mountains. Drilling a hole doesn't take much effort, it's much easier than working in the fields."

An Niang also continued, "Yes, Yuntao, 80 coins is too much, and Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu are still lying in bed, and they need money right now, so you should save some money. What do you want these pieces of wood for?"

Yuntao was not afraid that An Niang would know, after all, they did not have the fungus strain.

“I plan to grow some fungus.”

fungus.

What is wood ear?

Fungus is a food ingredient, a fungus that grows on trees. There are a lot of them in the mountains, but I want to grow them on a large scale so I can sell them. Fungus is easy to store, lasts a long time, and tastes good.

An Niang continued to ask like a curious baby: "Yun Tao, you can just pick them on the mountain, why do you need to grow them yourself? There are so many on the mountain, right?"

"I only have two hills, how much can I expect? Not every tree has them. There are more in the rainy season, and it takes a while to pick them. The quantity is not guaranteed. I pick and plant some myself, so that I will have a supply in the future. I don't ask for great wealth, but at least I can support my family. In the future, the first, second and third cows will have to look for wives. You can see that with the current conditions of our family, which girl would dare to marry into our family?"

"If I don't think about how to make money now, what will I do in the future? I can still move and take care of my three sons. At least I have to make more money to cure their legs, so that I can feel at ease."

An Niang and Tie Zhu remained silent. The Yun Tao family was indeed too poor now. It was no exaggeration to say that they were penniless. Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that the legs of Daniu, Erniu, and Sanniu could not be healed. After all, they were beaten too hard. It would cost a lot of money to cure them, which was not something that we peasants could afford.

"Don't worry, Yuntao. I, the head of the household, will definitely get it done for you in the next few days. Today we have to go to the mountain to get some wild vegetables, and tomorrow we will go up the mountain to cut down pine trees for you."

"Ann, this is a 20-cent deposit. I'll pay the remaining 60 cents after you're done."

"Brother, don't you think the three of us are useless? Ever since we broke our legs, we can't help mom at all. When grandma and Old Lady Wang were arguing before, we could only watch. They were just bullying us because we have no father and we three brothers have broken legs." Erniu said.

"Second brother, we have to get better quickly so that we can help mother and she can make more money. Then others won't look down on her."

What are you two brothers talking about, whispering to each other?

Mom, you're back.

Yes, I just went out for a walk, and I was thinking that after you three get better, we should go to town and do some small business, so that we can ensure our living, the ginseng money will run out sooner or later.

Sanniu said, "Mom, the food you cook is so delicious, let's go to town and open a restaurant."

"Sanniu, it takes a lot of money to open a restaurant. I have so much money, so I can just open a small stall. But this is all later. I have to wait until you three brothers get along well. I can't handle it alone."

Daniu exclaimed, "Mom, the skin of the thing you gave me last time was delicious, very chewy, sour, spicy and refreshing. I'm drooling just thinking about it now. And the little lumps of stuff inside were called what? They were chewy and delicious."

As Da Niu said these words, Er Niu and San Niu were swallowing their saliva beside him.

Yuntao brought out a bowl of cold noodles from the space.

"Daniu, is this what you are talking about?"

The first, second and third cows said in unison: "Mom, this is it. This is really delicious. I love it. Mom, can we have another portion? I really love this. I have never eaten anything so delicious. And this is not sold in town at all."

OK, that's a deal, wait till you get better. We can start making a small amount of cold noodles and sell them in town, and see if you like them.

Yuntao brought out three bowls of cold shrimps from the space.

Sanniu said with a smile: "Mom, this is delicious too, really delicious, let's sell some of this when the time comes."

"I feel like the cost must be high. It contains brown sugar, which is very expensive. It's not cheap."

"Many women in the village only buy one or two pieces of brown sugar for their husbands when they are in confinement after giving birth."

Yun Tao thought to herself, I am not afraid of the high price. I have so much brown sugar in my space that I can’t use it up in my lifetime. Besides, this brown sugar is sweet enough with just a little bit of sugar, so why do I need to put so much?

You can also add some chopped hawthorn, raisins, etc. to increase the sweetness. Chop them all into small pieces and no one will be able to tell what they are. Just say it’s your own secret recipe.

This is a good idea. I, Yuntao, am really smart.
