When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

"Why should I give you money? I don't have anything to do here, so I'll just treat it as an activity."

Su Ting didn't care at all. She just thought that if she could help Su Xiaowan, then she would.

"How can this be? We still have to give something. Sister Ting can't refuse it." Su Xiaowan knew that Su Ting would usually go to the vegetable garden to work.

"We'll talk about this later. You've just started. If they keep asking for so much, you can just pay me later."

Su Xiaowan couldn't persuade her, so she could only smile and agree, "Okay."

"I'll let Daquan and Xiaoquan go with us later. When the time comes, we can do things together and they can keep Xixi company. It won't be too boring."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Su Xiaowan didn't bother to be polite with Su Ting. She wanted a lot of things and she definitely couldn't get them all by herself.

After Xixi woke up, Su Xiaowan and Su Ting took the children, carrying baskets and bags, and went to the mountain.

The two talked and laughed along the way, as if they were back to the way they were in the village at the beginning.

This scene was seen by the villagers and soon spread everywhere, including Liu Xianglian's family.

Erdan shook her arm and kept yelling, "Grandma, I want to eat popsicles and meat."

"What to eat? There is nothing left at home. Your grandma has no money. Go find your mother."

Liu Xianglian has been very angry these past two days. Su Xiaowan is not as easy to talk to as before.

This eldest daughter-in-law is becoming more and more difficult to serve. She gets the cold shoulder if you say a few words to her and doesn't even take care of the children.

She had just coaxed the little one to sit down and sleep, and she hadn't even had a sip of water when Erdan started teasing her again.

"I don't care. If you don't give me meat to eat, I will destroy the house!"

Erdan picked up the porcelain pot filled with boiled water and was about to smash it to the ground.

Liu Xianglian suddenly stood up and grabbed it, and cried out, "My little ancestor, there is only this one kettle in the house. If it breaks, there will be no cold water in it."

"Then hurry up and get me some meat and popsicles!" Erdan said viciously.

"Okay, I'll give you five cents, go buy two for yourself and give one to Goudan."

Liu Xianglian took out the money from the bag that was wrapped in three layers of clothes, and Erdan snatched a dime and rushed out.

She was so angry that she started cursing loudly, and just then her eldest daughter-in-law walked in with a sour face.

"He's dead. Who are you trying to show your disgrace to?"

After being yelled at like that, the eldest daughter-in-law, Li Xiufang, became timid and tried to please him in a soft voice.

"Mom, this is also because of the third son's wife. How can she be a member of our Xiao family? She is so kind that she gives all the good things to Su Ting. Look, she even went into the mountains with her this afternoon."

"She went into the mountains to get some grass jelly to sell. What else do you have to say if you don't do it?"

How could Liu Xianglian not know what she was thinking? If Su Xiaowan made money, she could ask for some. If she didn't make money, it would be difficult for her to get anything.

"Mom, I just came here to discuss something with you." Li Xiufang looked like a young wife who had felt wronged.

"What are you discussing?"

"I also want to make some jelly grass to sell. Mom, please give me some capital. When I make money, I'll give it all to you."

Although Liu Xianglian lived a relatively good life in the Xiao family, she did not have a penny.

All the money the man earned was given to Liu Xianglian. Fortunately, she spent it on her children, so she didn't mind.

But these days, seeing Su Xiaowan making money, her life became increasingly miserable, and she could no longer sit still.

When she makes money, she won’t have to look at the old woman’s sour face anymore.

"How can I give you money? I don't know how to spend my own money." Liu Xianglian was reluctant to take it out.

"Mom, you can't say that. Zhiguo's money is all given to you. I have given birth to children one after another, so where can I get the money?"

"Besides, I'm doing business and making money for my family."

Liu Xianglian thought about it and realized that she couldn't control Su Xiaowan anymore, so now she could only control the eldest daughter-in-law.

She was reluctant to take out a dollar from her bag, "That's all I have, you can do whatever you want."

Although Li Xiufang was annoyed, at least she had the money. She could buy some sugar and vinegar first. This little bit of money would be nothing to her.

"Thank you, mother. I will buy you meat when I make money."

Liu Xianglian said nothing. If she could really make money, it would all be hers!

Su Xiaowan and Su Ting spent an entire afternoon picking fruits in the mountains. When they returned home, it was almost seven o'clock.

The little girl played outside all afternoon and is very hungry.

Su Xiaowan washed her face and said to Su Ting, "Sister Ting, let's eat here tonight. I'll make some noodles. I have to make all of this in the evening and send it over there before 11 o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay, you go cook the noodles and I'll clean up." Su Ting also knew that time was tight, so she started working without saying a word.

Daquan and Xiaoquan were not idle either, they stepped forward to help. Xixi saw that everyone was doing it, so she also took a small stool and sat down, and started to do it in an orderly manner.

Su Ting smiled and joked, "Xixi has grown up and knows how to help with things."

"Auntie, if Xixi helps with the work, mom can do less and won't be so tired." Xixi's voice is soft and cute.

That thin face looks a little rounder than before.

Su Ting was full of relief, "Xixi is great, she knows how to care for your mother. She will definitely be a good girl when she grows up."

When there are more people, things can be done faster. By the time Su Xiaowan finished cooking the noodles, a large pile of grass jelly had been cleaned up.

After eating the noodles, Su Xiaowan let Xixi play by herself while she and Su Ting continued to clean the Houttuynia cordata.

When it was almost eight o'clock, she hurriedly gave Xixi a bath, and the little girl fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

Su Ting also asked Daquan and Xiaoquan to go home to take a bath and sleep, while she was busy with Su Xiaowan.

After the jelly was cooked, it was already half past ten.

"Sister Ting, you go back. I'll take care of the rest. I'll cut the houttuynia cordata and make a cold dish tomorrow morning."

"Can you do this? You still have to clean up and stuff." Su Ting looked at her sweaty body and felt so distressed.

It seems like easy money to make, but it's really hard work.

From this afternoon till now, Su Xiaowan has not stopped.

"It's okay, there aren't many left. This will take a while. Let it cool down and cut it up tomorrow morning."

Seeing her say this, Su Ting did not insist. Before leaving, she said, "I will come early tomorrow morning. After you finish these, go to bed quickly. Only after you have a good rest, you will have the strength to work."

After Su Ting left, Su Xiaowan continued to work. When everything was done, she lay on the bed. Without even thinking about it, she fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Xiao Beiguo had just finished taking a shower and was lying on a wooden board with only a bamboo mat on it.

Looking at the dark night, Su Xiaowan's figure appeared in my mind.

He has been away for quite some time and doesn't know how she is doing at home.

"Brother Xiao, you haven't slept yet." Zhang Zhiwei wiped the sweat off his forehead and lay down on another wooden board next to him.

"It's a bit hot." Xiao Beiguo made up an excuse.

"It's really hot today. Even the nights in the mountains are so hot. I don't know how it's going at home."

Zhang Zhiwei also felt hot, but there was nothing he could do because that was the kind of job they took.

Fortunately, it will be completed in two days.
