It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Xue glanced at her daughter-in-law's defensive look and became angry.

She glared at her daughter-in-law and ordered, "Go to the kitchen and get a bowl of water." After that, she took her daughter's hand and sat down under the eaves.

She didn't ask her daughter what good things she had, but just complained: "You came here, bring something with you, and when you go back, take these foods back to Xiaocheng and the others to nourish them."

Yang knew that her situation was very bad before, but her mother still couldn't bear to let her go as before.

She was so touched that she didn't even take her sister-in-law's defensive look to heart.

Yang glanced at a piece of straw sandal sticking out from the kitchen and knew that her sister-in-law was eavesdropping there.

She pretended to be loud and said, "Don't worry, Mom. We have meat at home now, so we won't be short of it."

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I have been short of money these years and have never bought anything nice for you two elders. Please accept it, mother."

Seeing that her daughter's expression was not fake, Mrs. Xue said earnestly, "Hey, even if Dashan makes money, you have to be more frugal. Ah Ping is not young anymore, and it's time for him to find a wife..."

Yang hurriedly interrupted her mother's muttering, because if she continued, she would have to go back to what she had said before.

She changed the subject and said, "This is what I mean. Mom, I came here to find a job for you and Dad to make money..."

"What kind of money-making job?"

"Are you kidding me, aunt?"

Before she could finish her words, her mother and her sister-in-law who had brought out water asked in unison.

Xue stood up and took the bowl from her daughter-in-law. She didn't want to scold her daughter-in-law in front of her daughter, but she still glanced at her.

She handed the water to her daughter and said, "You've been running for half a day, drink some water first."

Yang had been traveling for more than an hour and was indeed a little thirsty.

She didn't hesitate and picked up the water and started drinking.

At this moment, Wang felt as if her heart was being scratched, but she had to wait like this.

The woman who was watching the excitement outside waited for a long time, peeking outside the door, but she could not hear any quarreling coming from inside.

Just as she was thinking about whether to go in and take a look at the excitement, she was suddenly called by Old Man Yang, "Mother Gou Wa, what are you doing standing in front of my door, peeking in?"

The woman was startled and turned around to see Old Man Yang and his grandchildren standing not far away.

I was sneaking around outside someone's door to watch what was happening, and ended up getting bumped into.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "I just saw Mei Niang come back and wanted to come visit, but I was afraid of disturbing their conversation. Well, I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first..."

After saying that, he left without mentioning visiting again.

Yin Zhu frowned, looked at the fleeing woman, and called out anxiously, "Grandpa..."

This Gou Wa's mother is a gossipy woman who is always looking for trouble in the world. He is a little worried about his family.

Old Master Yang, who was pulling the wood, came back to his senses and frowned, saying, "Go home first."

Let’s talk about it. He was pulling a cart, followed by a group of grandchildren walking home.

Several people in the yard also heard the conversation outside. Yang hurriedly stood up and saw her father pulling a cart of wood into the yard, followed by three children.

Seeing how hard her father was pulling, Yang hurried forward to help.

But he was stopped by Old Man Yang, "Okay, you are not needed here, I will unload with Jinzhu and Yinzhu."

The three of them called out "Auntie" in unison.

Yang nodded happily, pointing to the snacks in the basket and saying to the youngest Tiezhu, "Auntie brought you some cakes, come and have a try."

When Tiezhu, who was only eight years old, heard that there was cake to eat, his eyes lit up and he followed unconsciously.

Even Wang couldn't help but look sideways, because there were cakes in the basket.

It seems that this sister-in-law has really invested a lot of money this time, but I don’t know what she is up to.

Yang walked to the eaves of the corridor, lifted the cloth covering the basket, and a plate of exquisite pastries instantly caught the eyes of several people.

Yang picked up a piece and handed it to Tiezhu. Noticing his hands were covered in dirt, she said, "Go wash your hands quickly, or you'll get a stomachache."

Tiezhu's eyes widened when he saw the golden and exquisite pastries.

He turned around and ran back to the kitchen to wash his hands. After a few breaths, he ran back with a pair of wet hands.

Yang looked at the impatient little guy with amusement, as if she saw her own greedy little son, and her heart softened.

She stuffed the pastry directly into Tiezhu's mouth.

It was the first time that Tiezhu tasted such delicate and soft pastry with a milky aroma.

The little guy took a bite and his eyes widened, mumbling, "Delicious, delicious."

Yang took a piece and handed it to her mother, "Mom, you try it too."

Xue knew the exquisite pastries were not cheap when she saw them. She said with some regret, "Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this."

Yang did not tell her sister-in-law that this was homemade.

He simply changed the subject by bringing out the jelly and introducing it, "This is the most delicious jelly in town. Sprinkle it with chopped green onions and salt, then mix it with diced radish. It's icy cold, very smooth and delicious, and perfect for old people like you and Dad with bad teeth."

Seeing her sister-in-law taking out food in the same way, even Wang, who had always been vigilant, was attracted by these things.

These things don’t look cheap. Where does my sister-in-law get the money to buy these foods?

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Seeing the mother-in-law nagging all the time, she is not talking about the real business.

Wang couldn't hold it in any longer. She asked, "Aunt, you just said you had something good to say. What was it?"

At this time, Old Man Yang and his two nephews also unloaded the goods and came over.

Yang then looked at her parents and said, "This is what happened. My daughter, Azhi, met a merchant in the county town. The merchant signed a contract with her to buy forsythia leaves."

"I thought we have a lot of forsythia bushes here at home, so I asked my mother-in-law and asked my parents for this job. I'll pay you fifteen cents a day if you help pick them for half a month."

The whole family was stunned for a moment. Wang was the first to come back to her senses. She asked excitedly, "Is it really fifteen cents a day?"

Yang nodded, "Of course it's true, how can it be fake?"

"We have a large family and I can help pick the fruits. Can I be counted in as well?"

Yang said, "The villagers are also helping to pick the fruits. With my parents here, it's enough."

Wang nagging, "Hey, aunt, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we are a family after all. You should include your whole family in this good thing!"

Yang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

Mrs. Xue glared at her daughter-in-law, then said, "If you want, we'll help pick some. Why charge any money?"

"Mom, this is what my mother-in-law meant. I don't want you to work in vain, so please don't refuse!"

After being glared at by her mother-in-law, Wang shrank her neck and did not dare to mention the matter of adding another person.
