The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute
Chapter 192 Traveling on Two Legs
Shangyu Village is half a day's walk from Mojia Village, and it only takes two hours to go back and forth by ox cart.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Qingshan and Zhang Lanlan went back to their parents' home. The family had a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn cart. Because Zhang Lanlan was pregnant, they gave the carriage to her.
Zhang Lanlan's holiday gift was prepared by Mo's mother, while the Zhang family's was prepared with some food and snacks, after all, they would be back in a few days. The fabric was replaced with ready-made clothes, which Mo Rao had bought before the New Year. It was originally prepared for them, so it was just right to send them as holiday gifts.
After Dai Mo Qingshan and the other two left, Mo's mother also began to pack up and set off. She loaded the holiday gifts that she had prepared in advance onto the ox cart, and then the few of them rode the ox cart to Shangyu Village.
Li Lingye hadn't wanted to go at first, but after meeting Mo Rao's aggressive gaze, he reluctantly followed. The main reason was that even though he was down and out, he had never traveled in an oxcart. It felt strange to ride in an oxcart.
Although she always felt uncomfortable sitting on the ox cart, in the biting cold wind, Li Lingye always unconsciously shielded Mo Rao from the wind. Noticing Li Lingye's actions, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. She never thought that one day she would be cared for by a man.
Shangyu Village is relatively remote and the road is a bit bumpy. Since every family in the village is not well-off, no one has an ox cart. Even the richest village chief's family does not have an ox cart, so everyone has to rely on walking to travel.
When the Mo family's ox cart appeared in Shangyu Village, it attracted a lot of attention. When they saw the people on the ox cart, the old women in the village also began to talk in low voices.
Oh my! This is Wangsheng's daughter, right? She's really rich! Look, her family even bought an ox cart.
That's right! Look at all that stuff piled high on that oxcart. The whole family is wearing new clothes, and you can tell the material must be expensive.
Oh, what you said is true! Old Mrs. Yu and Old Mr. Yu have finally made it through, and now that their daughter has made it, they send so many gifts to their family.
Amidst everyone's discussions, the Mo family arrived at the door of the Yu family. As soon as the ox cart arrived at the village entrance, someone ran all the way to the Yu family to report the news. At this time, everyone in the Yu family was waiting at the door.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family was originally a daughter-in-law from this village, so when she went back to her parents' home, it was like visiting relatives.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family sent the holiday gifts to her parents' home and then came back. As soon as she got home, she heard that her younger sister-in-law had returned home. Every year when her younger sister-in-law returned to her parents' home, she was always stingy.
This year, the sister-in-law not only divided the family property but also built a big house. If she only brought a few steamed buns like in previous years, that would be unreasonable.
In the village, people only prepare festival gifts when they return to their parents' home after the New Year. They don't give gifts before the New Year. It's not that there is no such custom, but that every household is not rich, so naturally they don't give gifts before the New Year. If there are any surplus New Year goods after the New Year, they will take some back to their parents' home. If they are not rich, they will just bring a few steamed buns as a courtesy, which can be regarded as a festival gift. Over time, it has become the default way of giving gifts.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her daughter and grandchildren, she came forward to greet them with a smile.
When Xiao Zhou saw that the family came in an ox cart, she felt a pang of anger in her teeth.
Not only did they build a big house, they also bought an ox cart. Their lives are really different now! This is something their family can't compare to. This sister-in-law is really an ungrateful person. She has her own abilities, but she doesn't think about helping her parents. Her conscience has really been eaten by a dog, Xiao Zhou thought with disdain in her heart.
When Mother Mo got off the ox cart and saw Da Zhou, she called out "Mom," and Da Zhou quickly responded, "Hey!"
Mrs. Zhou knew her son-in-law's family, but when she saw a distinguished young man standing next to her granddaughter, she asked curiously, "My daughter, who is this?"
Mo's mother quickly introduced: "Mother, this is Rao girl's husband."
Who is Rao girl? Old Mrs. Yu, also known as Da Zhou, doesn't know that Mo Rao changed her name yet.
Mo's mother was not used to it at first, but later changed it after Mo Rao's repeated reminders. Rao girl is Mo's mother, and this girl changed her name to Mo Rao.
"Oh! It's Daya's husband," Da Zhou said with understanding.
When the girls outside who were watching the excitement heard that this imposing and handsome man was actually Mo Daya's husband, their hearts immediately broke into pieces. They felt like being poured with a basin of cold water on a freezing day, and they felt cold all over.
In this remote place, seeing such a handsome and dignified man, everyone wanted to find out who this young man was from.
After all, this man didn't look like an ordinary person at first glance. He was completely different from the peasants who worked in the fields all year round. Judging from his temperament, he must be rich or noble. After all, leaping over the dragon gate is every girl's dream.
It's windy outside, let's take the children inside to warm up, Mr. Yu interrupted.
“Okay, Dad,” said Mo’s mother, signaling the children to carry the things down.
Amidst the envy of the villagers, the Mo family members unloaded the items from the ox cart.
His aunt, do you see what that is? Is it muslin?
Isn’t it just fine cotton cloth? Oh my God, the son-in-law of the Mo family is really generous. He gave me two pieces of cloth at once.
More than that? That sack is bulging, so there must be a lot of good stuff. Oh my! That must be rice! Oh my god! There's also a big piece of bacon, which looks like it weighs several pounds!
Oh my! How much money will it cost for so many things?
This family is truly prosperous! It's only because her eldest son is married, otherwise I would definitely ask a matchmaker to find a partner for my daughter. It's also only because my youngest son is still too young, otherwise I would definitely ask a matchmaker to find a partner for my son.
Come on, your family is so poor that you can't even afford to eat, how can a girl be attracted to your family? Stop daydreaming.
I don't like what you said, little aunt. It's as if my family is poor and your family is rich. Aren't we all the same, all peasants? Our eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother.
The aunt felt a little embarrassed by what she said.
Old Mrs. Yu looked at the things scattered on the floor, feeling distressed. She said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "You spendthrift girl! Life is just getting by, and you're wasting money. How can you expect to survive in the future?"
Mo's mother smiled and said, "Mom bought this for you two elders. How can you say it's a waste of money? As long as Mom and Dad are happy, the money is worth spending."
Although Old Mrs. Yu looked a little distressed about the money, she was deeply moved when she thought about her daughter's filial piety. Her daughter was really thoughtful.
Mo's mother said thoughtfully, "Mom, this fine cotton cloth is comfortable to wear. This amount of cloth is just enough to make a piece of clothing for everyone in the family."
Old Mrs. Yu said unhappily, "Why give it to them? They can buy it themselves. You can take it back home and make some new clothes for your children."
Xiao Zhou was extremely anxious, fearing that her sister-in-law would really take it back. Just as she was about to say something, Old Lady Yu glared at her fiercely, frightening her so much that she swallowed her words back.
Old Mrs. Yu still felt a little distressed about her daughter's waste of money.
Mo's mother refused and said, "This is for you, so it's yours. It would be a shame if I took it back. Besides, there's no shortage of clothes for children at home, so you can keep it with confidence."
Xiao Zhou quickly agreed: Yes, my sister-in-law is successful now, and people don’t care about such things.
Old Mrs. Yu quickly scolded: You have no right to speak here, you are showing off.
Xiao Zhou was not angry at being scolded. She was already thinking about getting the cloth and sending it to her parents' home. If her mother saw her giving so much cloth to them, she would definitely be very happy.
However, it would be difficult to get the fine cotton cloth out of her mother-in-law's hands. But it didn't matter. She could ask her husband to go to his mother's place to grind it, and the cloth would surely be obtained.
Seeing that her daughter was so determined, Old Mrs. Yu had no choice but to accept it. When her daughter returned home, she would bring her some silver back so that she wouldn't have to explain herself to her husband's family.
As for the cloth for Xiao Zhou's family, Old Lady Yu also knew Xiao Zhou's temper, so she would definitely not give the cloth to her. Once she gave it to her, she would definitely not make clothes for her children, but would send the cloth to her parents' home.
It is definitely not okay to ask her to take the cloth given by her daughter to her parents' home.
When Old Lady Yu saw the other things, she was also amazed. "Oh my God! You can't live like this. How much money will it cost to have so many things?"
Old Mrs. Yu looked at the rice, flour, chickens, ducks, fish and geese on the ground and smacked her lips in pain.
It is true that the holiday gifts prepared by Mo's mother were a bit too much. Anyone who saw them would be envious. Mo's mother knew that her parents were having a hard time, so she wanted to send more things to her parents. She didn't have the ability before, but now she has the ability, so she just wanted her parents to eat better.
Of the betrothal money Mo Qingshan had borrowed before, two taels were from Old Lady Yu, but he had kept it a secret from Xiao Zhou. Otherwise, given Xiao Zhou's temper, who knows what kind of fuss she would have made? After all, that was all her family's savings.
Although Mo's mother returned the money later, she always remembered the love that Old Lady Yu had shown her.
