The wife of two taels of silver

Maybe it was because of her weak body, but Lin Haitang felt very tired after just a little movement and wanted to sleep all the time.

After finally settling Xiaobai down and taking the two children home, Lin Haitang wanted to go back to bed immediately, but she still had to do laundry and cook for the two children. Lin Haitang really got a headache when she thought about it, and felt that her feelings for the two children were not as deep as she had imagined.

It’s too troublesome. Raising a child is really too troublesome. It’s only been two or three days and Lin Haitang already wants to go on strike.

While cooking, Lin Haitang thought: I have to find a servant quickly so that I don’t have to take care of the cooking.

Lin Haitang cleaned the bones, added spices, and began to cook. She also soaked the soybeans, planning to add them halfway through. She kneaded some dough and let it rest. Once it was done, she placed it over the bones and covered them. Now she had the staple food, the side dish, and the soup.

Everything is ready, just waiting for them to be cooked. Lin Haitang starts thinking about making money.

Her cheap husband sent the family three taels of silver every month, enough for the three of them to live comfortably. But Lin Haitang wanted to buy a maid to help with cooking and laundry. She didn't know how much it would cost from a maid, so she had to prepare more money, and she also needed to buy a lot of things for the house.

Lin Haitang did a rough calculation while buying things these two days. The three taels of silver here is about 4,500 yuan in modern RMB.

As she was thinking, the meat in the pot was cooked. Lin Haitang turned off the fire, put the food in a bowl, and picked some chopped green onions and coriander from the space, quickly chopped them and put them in the bowl. In an instant, a bowl of big bones with a good color, fragrance and taste was ready.

Lin Haitang's stomach was rumbling. Lin Haitang felt like a pig, able to sleep and eat.

He placed the bowls and chopsticks on a tray and brought it into the house, then called the two little guys who were playing with chickens outside to come over, wash their hands, and eat.

Just as the two children were about to pick up their bowls and take a bite, they heard someone calling at the door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Zhuqing." Li Zhuqing stood outside the door with a basket in her hand.

Lin Haitang hurriedly got up and went out.

"Why are you here, Zhuqing? What's going on?" Lin Haitang quickly opened the door and said, "Come in."

"Sister-in-law, my mother asked me to bring you this: two kilograms of flour." Li Zhuqing handed the basket to Lin Haitang without moving: "I won't go in. My mother is waiting for me to go home for dinner."

"Auntie, why are you sending me things? Zhuqing, take it back quickly." Lin Haitang pushed the basket over.

Li Zhuqing put the basket in Lin Haitang's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother told me to deliver it to you. Please don't make it difficult for me. Please accept it quickly."

After Duan sent Lin Haitang and her two children away, she went to check the contents of the basket. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but she was shocked. There was a long piece of meat, at least two pounds, and it was made of tofu and eggs. Thinking of the skinny faces of Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, she called Lin Haitang stupid for not leaving anything for the children.

It is true that the village chief's family lives a better life, but Li Er is in school, and the usual tuition fees and pens, ink, paper and inkstone are quite expensive. The family is also a bit tight on money. They only eat meat five or six times a month, and usually save eggs and other things for the eldest daughter-in-law who is just pregnant.

However, Duan couldn't send the noodles directly to Lin Haitang, as that would be embarrassing for both families. After Li Youdao came back, Duan discussed with him and decided to let Li Er send three pounds of fine noodles to Lin Haitang's house. They couldn't let Lin Haitang's family spend so much money in vain.

They all felt that it was no big deal to let the little white dog drink some milk from their big yellow dog. Lin Haitang even sent so many things, and the two elders felt very sorry. That's why Li Zhuqing came to deliver flour.

"Ah! Look at you guys! You helped me so much yesterday, and today you're being so considerate of me. Come on, follow me into the house first." Lin Haitang sighed, feeling incredibly warm. She hadn't expected the village chief and his family to be so thoughtful. She accepted the basket and dragged Li Zhuqing into the yard.

"I asked you to have dinner with me, but you definitely didn't want to. It just so happens that my sister-in-law cooked some big bones today, so you can take some back." Lin Haitang pulled Lin Zhuqing to the kitchen.

Li Zhuqing was helpless: "Sister-in-law, there's really no need. Let Momo and Lanlan eat it."

Lin Haitang refused flatly: "No, if you don't want to eat it, take it back and give it to Jiahe. Jiahe is pregnant and might like it."

Jiahe's surname was Song. She was the wife of Li Zhuqing's brother Li Jing and the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief Li Youdao. She was from Xia'anhe Village. Lin Haitang didn't see Song Jiahe today because she had returned to her parents' home in Xia'anhe Village.

After arriving at the kitchen, Lin Haitang hurriedly brought over the food box and two large soup bowls.

"I'll make you two bowls, one with chili oil and one without. I don't know Jiahe's taste, so I'll make you two." Lin Haitang filled the bowl with the big bone, meat, and broth. Just as she was about to sprinkle some chopped green onions on it, she paused, "Jiahe, do you want some green onions?"

"Food, sister-in-law, please add more." Li Zhuqing said.

Lin Haitang took out two small bowls, one for chili oil and the other for coriander.

"Zhuqing, this is chili oil. I just fried it yesterday. I didn't dare put it in for Jiahe because I was afraid she wouldn't eat it. Take the bowl back with you. If Jiahe wants it spicy, you can add more." Lin Haitang explained in detail and pointed to another small bowl. "This bowl contains cilantro. Some people like it and some don't. I really like it. It smells really good when I put it in the stewed meat. Take a bowl with you and see if Jiahe likes it. If she does, you can put it in."

In Lin Haitang's original memory, she didn't remember the existence of coriander, but she inexplicably felt that Song Jiahe, a pregnant woman, would like to eat it. She made up her mind that if anyone asked, she would say that her cheap husband brought it to her during the Chinese New Year. It would be best if no one asked.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to trouble you. You've given too much." Li Zhuqing was a little at a loss. Lin Haitang was not like this when she was "stupid" before. She didn't like anyone and ignored everyone she saw. Li Zhuqing looked at Lin Haitang now and didn't know what to say.

Lin Haitang patted Li Zhuqing's shoulder and handed the packed food box to her. "Why are you being so polite to my sister-in-law? I should thank you. Momo and Lanlan really like you. They said you take good care of them and bring them delicious food from time to time."

Lin Haitang and Li Zhuqing walked out together.

Li Zhuqing said: "No sister-in-law, Brother Gu An also took good care of me when I was a child. It was Brother Gu An who taught me how to read when I first started. I should thank Brother Gu An."

Well, he was her cheap husband. But in Lin Haitang's memory, although Gu An did not ignore Momo and Lanlan, he did not take good care of them.

Damn it, you're so mean to your own son and daughter. If you didn't like your original self, you shouldn't have gotten into her. You got her pregnant, gave birth to the child, and then you didn't take good care of it. Damn it.

Lin Haitang thought with gritted teeth.

When they reached the door, Lin Haitang said, "Zhu Qing, say hello to your parents for me. Go back quickly. It's getting dark, so go slowly."

Li Zhuqing said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm going back now. You should go back and eat soon. I've kept you for so long."

"Hurry up and walk slowly. It'll get dark if you keep talking," Lin Haitang told him to hurry back. Although Li Zhuqing was a brilliant writer, and even the entire county knew him as "Young Master Zhuqing," he was still only twelve or thirteen years old, and Li Haitang would be worried about him after dark.

Lin Haitang went back to the house when she could no longer see Li Zhuqing. She saw the two children were so drunk that they couldn't even lift their heads.

When Li Zhuqing came just now, Lin Haitang didn't let the two children go out, and asked them to stay in the house to eat. If the children eat cold rice, their stomachs will not be able to bear it.

"Is it delicious, Momolanlan?" Lin Haitang couldn't help laughing when she saw the two of them eating with relish.

They both raised their heads and ate a small piece of cake: "Delicious!" they said in unison.

Puff! Lin Haitang burst out laughing at the sight of the two little clowns. She wiped their faces with a handkerchief and gave them two small spoonfuls of broth. Lin Haitang didn't dare give them too much to eat at night, fearing that they would have indigestion. She remembered that her nephew always had indigestion, complaining of stomachaches that made her mother, her younger brothers and sisters feel distressed for a long time.

"You have to chew your food slowly before eating, and wash your face and rinse your mouth after you are done, okay?" Lin Haitang coaxed.

"Okay, mom, you eat quickly. I'll take care of my sister." Gu Mo brought the bowl to Lin Haitang.

"Our Mo Mo is really sensible." Lin Haitang touched Gu Mo's little head.

When the broth reached her mouth, Lin Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. It was so comfortable and delicious.

How can life be just about cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of kids? Life should be about eating, drinking, and having fun! Eating, drinking, having fun, and being the only one who matters is the truth!

While chewing on a big bone, Lin Haitang thought to herself: I have to change my strategy. It's true that I am the mother of these two children now, and it's true that I have responsibilities, but I can't spend my time only on them. God let me die suddenly and then brought me back to life. I can't spend my time only on taking care of the children.

In fact, she didn't really like children. She would praise a cute one and a pretty one, but when she was asked to give birth to one herself, she would refuse. She used to think that her nephew was very troublesome, and she didn't want to have another troublesome child.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan are very cute and beautiful, but Lin Haitang feels more of a responsibility towards them. Although she has all the memories of her original body, she will raise the two children seriously based on this responsibility, teach them knowledge, teach them how to behave, and teach them the principles of the world. However, she does not want to spend all her time on the two children, as that would drive Lin Haitang crazy.

She can make good money, find a good teacher, and teach her two children the principles of life.

And since Lin Haitang has come here, she should take a good look at the world here and make up for the regrets of her previous life.

By the time she lay down on the bed, Lin Haitang had figured everything out, and she could finally fall asleep peacefully.
