It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.
Chapter 105 Returning to Mother’s Home
The next day, after settling her husband down and sending her son away,
Then he said to his mother-in-law, "Mom, I'm going to go back to my parents' home first and tell them about picking forsythia leaves."
This was agreed upon yesterday. Wu only said, "Wait a moment."
After that, he returned to the kitchen and brought her a basket. "Here's a plate of cakes and three pieces of jelly. Bring some to your in-laws to try."
Yang was stunned. She really didn't expect when her mother-in-law prepared all these.
"Why are you daydreaming? Let's get on the road quickly before the sun goes down." After saying that, he stuffed the basket into his daughter-in-law's hands.
Yang was very happy. Nowadays, mothers-in-law most dislike their daughters-in-law who are not kind enough to take things from home to their parents' home.
In fact, when I was making cakes with my mother-in-law yesterday, she wanted to ask to take some back home, but in the end she didn't ask.
She didn't even know when her mother-in-law had secretly prepared it for her last night.
This made her feel both surprised and touched.
She has been living in poverty these years, and her parents' life is not much better than hers.
Because she is really short of money here, she usually doesn't go back except for necessary holidays.
The old couple were also sensible. They knew that their daughter's family was having a hard time, so every time she brought something back, the old couple would take more things for their grandchildren to bring back.
Because of this, I often got the cold shoulder from my sister-in-law.
Yang also felt ashamed. As a child, not only did she not respect her parents, but she also made her parents worry about her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't had the ability before, but now she still has the money she got from collecting herbs last time.
Yang was also not vague. She first went to Doctor Zheng and spent ten cents to buy a jar of anti-snake and insect powder.
Azhi said that it is dangerous in the mountains now and we must take precautions.
Yang kept these words in mind and did not forget to bring a copy for her parents when she returned.
After buying the medicinal powder, he went to the market again, picked up the fattest pork belly and bought two pounds, and also bought a piece of lard and tied it with a straw rope. He carried the meat in one hand and the basket in the other and walked towards Yangjia Village.
After going around a hill and walking for another half a minute, the familiar outline of Yangjia Village gradually came into view.
A group of villagers were sitting under the jujube tree at the entrance of the village, chatting.
Seeing Yang holding meat in one hand and a basket in the other, she smiled and asked, "Oh, Mei Niang, are you back to see your parents?"
Yang called out to everyone one by one, and after they responded generously, she hurried away.
After they left, someone said sarcastically, "Oh, it's rare to see her bring back meat. Is she trying to borrow money?"
"Otherwise, why would we bring back meat during such a strange time of year?"
An older one scolded, "Who said she can only go back to her parents' home during festivals? Her parents are still around, so what's wrong with being a filial daughter? Don't spread rumors outside."
The gossiping woman shrank her neck, not daring to argue with the village elders.
But I still feel unconvinced in my heart.
The woman's eyes rolled around and she suddenly came up with an idea. She pretended to go back, and when she was out of sight from others, she went straight to the field.
Seeing Wang weeding in the fields, he slapped his thigh and said hurriedly, "Hey, you're still in the fields. Your sister-in-law is back. I see she brought some meat. Go back and take a look. Maybe she's here to borrow money from you."
When Wang heard this, her heart was in her throat. Her family was just preparing to find a marriage for her eldest son. If that unlucky sister-in-law really tricked the two elders into giving her money away, she would be in trouble.
What about his eldest son’s marriage?
Thinking of the bottomless pit child in her sister-in-law's family, Wang Shi could no longer remain calm.
She didn't bother to work in the fields and walked home carrying her hoe.
When the woman saw Wang leaving in a hurry, she felt that something interesting was going to happen, so she followed her slowly.
On the other side, Yang was walking home with food in her arms. The closer she got to the door, the more excited she became.
This was obviously different from her mood when she returned home before.
In the past, returning home was filled with joy and mostly sadness. I couldn't afford a decent holiday gift, and I worried that my parents would be worried about me...
Now all of this is over. Her life is becoming more and more promising. She has some extra money and can even find some work for her parents.
As soon as Yang entered the house, she saw her mother, with a head full of silver hair, sitting under the eaves weaving hemp thread.
She called out happily and went into the yard carrying her things.
When Xue heard the noise, she looked up and saw her daughter walking towards her with a smile on her face, holding meat in one hand and a basket in the other.
Mrs. Xue was even stunned for a moment. It seemed that she had not seen such a bright daughter for many years.
It wasn't until the person came closer that she came to her senses. She quickly dropped the work in her hands, stood up and said, "Hey, if you're coming back, why are you bringing all these things?"
"In your family, only Dashan and his son can earn some money. We need to marry Ah Ping off and pay off debts, so we have no time to waste money..."
Xue held her daughter and kept muttering, but every word she said was for her daughter's sake.
"Mom, don't worry about it. I came here today to tell you and Dad something good."
Yang looked around and asked, "Where's Dad? Why can't I see him?"
"Your father has taken the children to the mountains to cut wood. These days, our family is preparing to find a wife for your eldest nephew. We are going to cut some wood and ask a carpenter to build a new door for Jinzhu's house. It's not a good idea to always have a bamboo curtain hanging on it!"
Wang came back in a hurry carrying a hoe, and heard what her mother-in-law said.
Without even taking a breath, she quickly replied, "That's right. Your nephew is almost nineteen. Our family has been living frugally these past few years just to find Tiezhu a wife. We can't put it off any longer."
"His aunt, don't you think?"
Wang complained in her heart, I have said it so bluntly, if you still want to borrow money, don't blame me for not being nice to you.
Just when she was getting nervous and thought the other party would ask to borrow money.
Yang nodded in agreement, "We really need to hurry up. If we get older, it will be even harder to find a girl that suits us."
Xue glanced at her daughter-in-law and felt uncomfortable seeing the way she looked at her daughter as if she were facing a great enemy.
The daughter's family was not living a good life, and the daughter-in-law was afraid that she would give all her money to her daughter, so when she heard that her daughter was coming back, she hurriedly chased after her from the field.
When she didn't know why.
Although she was unhappy, she didn't want to express it in front of her daughter to avoid making her sad.
It was a rare opportunity for her to come back, so Mrs. Xue hurriedly took the things from her daughter's hands and said, "Come on, if you have anything to say, sit down and rest for a while before you talk."
Yang gave the thing in her hand to her mother, but she stood still and said, "Mother, I came here this time to tell you something good."
Wang snorted in her heart. What a good thing! The family is already in debt. How can anything good happen?
Although he thought so in his heart, his feet unconsciously moved closer to the mother and daughter, and he pricked up his ears, ready to listen attentively!
She just didn't believe it, she could even name a flower!
