The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

Her mother-in-law was taking care of her during her confinement, and she used the brown sugar, old ginger, millet, chicken, and eggs sent by the neighbors that Lu Gang bought to "accumulate blessings."

Qiaohui was lying on the bed dying, and she had no idea what was happening.

Lu Gang was busy and didn't know what was going on at home. He thought that no matter how confused his mother was, she couldn't just ignore her grandson, right?

But because of this time difference, Qiaohui had to eat boiled pumpkin for every meal during the confinement period, which prevented her from producing milk and made her baby weaker.

Until one day, not long after Lu Gang went out, he saw a hunter with a big harvest, who had killed many pheasants to sell.

He was very happy and bought a few more at once. He went home happily and ran into his mother delivering things.

He held his breath and went into the kitchen. Wow, there was a big pot of pumpkin.

Seeing Qiaohui retching while eating pumpkin, he realized what had happened. He was furious and his mother-in-law was crying so pitifully.

As for the neighbors, the beneficiaries, they all stood on the high ground and scolded Lu Gang for being unfilial.

Lu Gang was so angry when he saw the weak mother and son that he didn't go to the shop that day. He stayed at home and watched Qiaohui eat the chicken.

The mother-in-law advised him to be kind to others and not to go to the shop to work, otherwise there would be nothing to eat at home.

She promised that she would leave a bite for the mother and son, and the rest would be eaten by the orphans and widows because they were pitiful.

Lu Gang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and Qiao Hui was so angry that her face turned blue, her breasts were swollen and painful, and her lower body was bleeding.

Qiaohui fainted again. The doctor came over to take her pulse, told her to take good care of herself, and prescribed a bunch of precious life-saving medicines.

In this way, Lu Gang had almost spent all the money in the family.

As soon as Qiaohui woke up, she saw her mother-in-law lying in front of her face. She said with surprise, "Oh, Qiaohui is awake. You are such a irritable child!"

"Everything was fine, but you pissed yourself off to the point of bleeding. Gangzi spent a lot of money on medicine."

"With so much money, how many people can I support if I do good deeds? You are such an ignorant child. You don't know how much your mother cares about you."

"Hey, when you are out of confinement, do good things for me, take good care of me, and make selfless contributions, then the Buddha will bless you."

When Qiaohui opened her eyes, she saw a face that was lecturing and spitting saliva, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.

Perhaps because she was holding her breath, Qiaohui just thought her mother-in-law was talking nonsense and focused on taking care of her health.

Fortunately, the child had some milk to drink. Qiaohui sat in confinement for two months and really couldn't get up.

As for Lu Gang's shop, it has not been open for two months.

Qiaohui swayed her body and urged him to do the work, otherwise the whole family would be in trouble.

Lu Gang hugged her and told her to call him if she had any problems.

Lu Gang was not foolishly filial and was good to her, so Qiaohui was very satisfied.

Qiaohui carried her child on her back to take the dirty clothes to wash. As soon as she left the house, she was met with neighbors mocking her, "Did you lay a golden egg? And you still have to stay in confinement for two months."

"Oh, we were all born in the fields and just worked from the waist up. We are not as lucky as Qiaohui."

"Yes, yes, I have a living Bodhisattva mother-in-law at home, a doting man by my side, and I have to spend two months in confinement after giving birth to a baby. It's really incomparable."

Qiaohui looked at the person in front of her, who had some of her own skills, and she was so angry that she threw the basin in her hand to the ground.

Qiaohui was a little weak. She pointed at the woman who said she laid golden eggs and said, "We are all women. Giving birth is so hard. Have you forgotten the hardship?"

He turned his finger and pointed at the mother and daughter who were picking vegetables, "And you, the purse handkerchiefs you and your daughter are wearing were made by me working hard all night to save money for the children."

"Did you give me money? Did I stay at your house during my confinement? Did I eat your rice?"

The mother and daughter looked disdainful. This was given to them by Mrs. Lu, not by them snatching it away.

Qiao Hui was so angry that she was shaking. She turned to the young daughter-in-law and said, "What about you, Feng'er? If you like my mother-in-law, then come to my house and be a concubine to my son Gangzi!"

"You will have a good mother-in-law in the future!"

Feng'er's wife had just been married for a year and had not yet gotten pregnant, but she was so jealous that she said this. She was not that shameless, and her face turned pale when Qiaohui said that.

Qiaohui felt a little better and pointed at another sister-in-law who was breastfeeding. "Oh, and you too. I almost forgot about you. Isn't your mother-in-law treating you badly?"

"She took so many things from my house, and you took them to give to your sister and your parents. Is my rice delicious?"

"Bah, what you say is yours is yours? It was given to me by Mrs. Lu because she saw that we were short of it. It was given to me by the living Bodhisattva. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you speak?" She stood up and spat, retorting shamelessly.

"Look at you, a bitch with no flesh on your body. You can't even gain weight after the confinement period. You are such a cheap bitch. It's a waste for such a good man like Gangzi."

After the sister-in-law who was picking vegetables finished speaking, she remembered that her daughter was still there and felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so she stood up, took the vegetables and took her daughter back.

"Go, go, go! Look at her like she's about to die. What a shameless life! It would be terrible if she comes to rely on us and asks for all our pots and pans!"

As the vegetable picker left, the one who was feeding the baby also left with Sister Feng'er.

Qiaohui was so angry that her chest hurt. She wiped her tears, picked up the dirty clothes and went to wash them.

The child on my back is so well behaved and doesn’t make any noise at all.

……

Lu Gang hadn't opened his shop for two months, resulting in very slow business.

Those who came came to pick up the goods, cursing and swearing. Not only did they not make much money today, but they also lost a lot of smiles.
