Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Yao Qingnian placed the wild vegetables he dug in the yard, sorted and cleaned them, and cooked them in the evening.

"dong dong dong"

As soon as I sat down, there was a knock on the gate.

"Who is it? Yinuo, go open the door."

Yao Qingnian was washing wild vegetables and had no time to spare.

Yinuo ran over, opened the door, and saw Lu Minghai standing at the door.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"

"I won't go in. Is your grandma home?"

"Grandma hasn't come back from the fields yet!"

"Here, take this cake back and eat it. Don't let your mother see it."

Lu Minghai stuffed the pancake into Yinuo's mouth and glanced towards the yard. He saw Yao Qingnian who was busy doing something in the yard. He specifically reminded Yinuo that if Yao Qingnian was seen by her, the food would definitely not reach Yinuo and the others' mouths.

"Thank you, great grandfather. My mother is different now. She no longer steals our things and even cooks delicious food for us!"

"Oh, really?"

"It really can't be true anymore!"

Lu Minghai didn't believe it, but it was not easy for him to refute a child, so he touched his head.

"Haha, then I'll go back. Come to see Grandpa if you have any problem."

"Okay, Grandpa, take care!"

Lu Minghai also ran away secretly. If he was discovered by the tigress Ge in the family, there would be a big fuss.

"Yinuo, who is it?"

Seeing Yinuo standing at the door for a long time without coming in, Yao Qingnian called out curiously, and then saw Yinuo coming back with a few cakes in his hand.

"It's great grandfather"

From the original owner's memory, it was learned that the great-grandfather Yinuo mentioned was Lu Mingchuan's biological brother, Lu Minghai, who lived in the Lu family's old house.

When he saw that his brother's family had many people and was dividing up the family, Lu Mingchuan took the initiative to move out and gave the old Lu house to their family.

Lu Minghai has two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Lu Daqing, was an honest and simple man. He joined the army with Lu Huaijin.

The youngest son, Lu Xiangqian, was still young at the time and escaped the disaster. He is now studying in a school in the county town.

The original owner's daughter, Lu Shuangshuang, had such a personality that she couldn't get along with anyone. No one knew what Lu Shuangshuang was like, but we only knew that she had helped Yinuo several times.

Lu Minghai's wife, Ge, is not an easy person to get along with. When Lu Mingchuan had no problems with his legs and feet, her attitude was still acceptable.

Ever since Lu Mingchuan's legs became disabled, he has not been in a good mood. Just last year, because Lu Minghai gave Yinuo a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, Ge was unhappy and made a fuss for a long time.

Lu Minghai was so embarrassed that he kept making indirect accusations in front of the original owner's house.

Therefore, Lu Minghai could only help his brother's family secretly. If he was discovered, there would be unrest in the whole family.

Brothers Lu Minghai and Lu Mingchuan have had a good relationship since childhood. Lu Mingchuan couldn't bear to see his brother in trouble, so he told him not to worry about him.

"Yinuo, next time Grandpa brings something over, we won't take it. Grandpa is so kind to our family, we can't make things difficult for him, understand?"

"okay, I get it."

"Mom will work hard to make money and let you all live a good life."

Yinuo nodded, carried the cooked pig food, and went to the backyard to feed the pigs.

Yao Qingnian started to cook dinner. Looking at the wild vegetables in front of her, she didn't know how to cook them. Without oil, they would definitely not taste good if she fried them directly.

After thinking for a while, she decided to make some cold wild vegetables and brown rice porridge.

She blanched the wild vegetables in water and cooked them, then added the ingredients available at home, and a simple cold wild vegetable dish was ready.

The sun set and the sky gradually darkened. Liu Shuyue finished a day's work and returned home.

Liu Shuyue looked at the food that had been placed on the table.

The fatigue of the day disappeared, Yao Qingnian stopped making a fuss, and the day was truly comfortable and relaxed.

"Grandma, you're back! I'm hungry! Go wash your hands and have dinner."

Yinuo poked his head out from the kitchen, and Yao Qingnian came out behind him with dishes and chopsticks.

"You eat first, no need to wait for me!"

"No, that won't work. My mother said that a family should be together and eat together to enjoy the meal~"

"Haha, okay, then you wait for grandma for a while!"

Liu Shuyue raised the corners of her mouth. After washing her hands, she went into the house and carried Lu Mingchuan out.

The family sat at the table and had dinner.

"Wow! Wild vegetables can be cooked so deliciously!"

The cold wild vegetables are tender, refreshing and original in flavor, filling your mouth with the scent of spring.

"Come on, eat more!"

Yao Qingnian picked up a big piece of food with chopsticks for Yinuo.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."

Liu Shuyue praised her for once, and Yao Qingnian felt that the brown rice porridge with cold wild vegetables was not as unpalatable as before.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, Mom, these two cakes were sent by my uncle."

"Alas! Didn't I tell my eldest brother not to take things for us? My eldest sister-in-law will quarrel with him again if she finds out."

Lu Mingchuan let out a long sigh. His brother wasn't living a happy life himself, but he was always thinking about him.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud slam on the door.

"Second brother, open the door for me!"

It’s easy to tell from the loud voice that the person coming is Ge.

Liu Shuyue forced a smile and went to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here so late at night?"

Ge didn't care whether other people were happy or not, and walked straight into the yard, and saw Lu Mingchuan and others sitting in the yard.

"Hey, Mingchuan, are you eating? There's porridge and vegetables, the food is pretty good!"

"Sister-in-law, why are you here so late?"

Lu Mingchuan spoke politely for the sake of his elder brother.

"Can't you come over and take a look if there's nothing else?"

When Mrs. Ge saw the two pancakes on the table, her face turned ugly. Lu Minghai, this traitor, had indeed taken things behind her back again.

"Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say. We are all family, so there is no need to beat around the bush."

Ge glanced at Yinuo who was sitting.

"You are so rude. You don't even know to move a stool when the elders come. Is this what your mother taught you?"

Yao Qingnian couldn't help himself when he heard this.

"Aunt, did you eat too much salt last night?"

"Yao Qingnian, what are you talking about? How can I eat a lot of salt?"

"Then why are you so free to come and take care of our family affairs?"

Only then did Ge realize that Yao Qingnian was teasing her.

"I forgot that you, Yao Qingnian, are a vicious woman. You either beat your parents-in-law or your son. How can you teach your children?"

Yao Qingnian was about to speak when Liu Shuyue pulled her sleeve.

"Sister-in-law, you are not here just to show off your eloquence, right?!"

"Mingchuan, when you broke your leg, it was your elder brother who carried you down the mountain and spent money to hire a doctor for you."

Lu Mingchuan remembered this clearly without Ge telling him. He would never forget his elder brother's kindness.

"We know even if sister-in-law doesn't tell us."

"In that case, sister-in-law, just tell me straight. After Daqing left, my husband and I had to support Xiangqian's studies, as well as provide him with food and clothing. Life became more and more difficult. Now it's almost time for Xiangqian to pay his salary, and your eldest brother's hair has turned white with worry."

It was obvious that she was here to ask for money, but where would their family get the money from now? The little savings they had before were all spent on the old man's medical treatment, and the rest was squandered by Yao Qingnian. Now all she had left was her dowry, but that was something Yao Qingnian's mother asked her to do, and she couldn't touch it, otherwise she would not be worthy of Yao Qingnian's mother's instructions.

"Mingchuan, the total is five taels of silver. Can you take it out and give it to my sister-in-law?"

Lu Mingchuan was in a dilemma.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it four taels?"

Liu Shuyue remembered that it was clearly four taels of silver, so how did it become five taels of silver?
