Farming and reading family

The reason why the father-in-law wanted them to go out and do some odd jobs was because there was nothing to do at home, and if they had something to do, they wouldn't have to go out.

"The little bit of land at home has been cleaned up by my eldest brother, and the house has been repaired in advance. What else is there to worry about?" Lei was puzzled.

"Pick up acorns." Gao E said directly.

Lei was puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'll go and talk to him myself later." Gao E said confidently.

Everyone was a little worried, thinking that Gao and the old couple had always been at odds, and even now if she was upset, she could say whatever she wanted, and if she was allowed to say it, the matter would definitely be ruined.

But there is nothing others can do.

During the day, Chen Qing and Chen Jie discussed the construction of the stable, while Lei and the others picked and peeled bamboo shoots. By the evening, they had peeled a large pile of them.

I just happened to have an empty jar at home, so I could pickle the bamboo shoots directly.

"Did sister-in-law go home directly?" Gao E thought that sister-in-law would come back at noon, so why hasn't she come back yet?

"I don't know." Lei frowned. "Why don't I go back and take a look?"

As the two were talking, there was a slight knock at the door and the big yellow dog in the yard started barking.

Chen Yaner immediately ran to the door and shouted: "Brother——"

Chen Qing, who was sitting in the yard, immediately stood up and ran over.

Chen Xichen's clothes were torn to pieces, and there were many bloodstains on his face. He fell to the ground very weakly.

"Xichen!" Chen Qing immediately picked up his son.

"Save my mother, save my mother..." Chen Xichen muttered and fell into coma.

Everyone in the yard gathered around.

"Hurry up and bring the child in." Gao E shouted.

She turned around and made a bowl of brown sugar water. Xichen went up the mountain with her sister-in-law early in the morning. If something unexpected happened, it would mean she hadn't eaten for a whole day.

"Xichen, what happened to your mother? Don't scare Third Aunt, you can't faint..." Lei was very frightened.

After all, they have been sisters-in-law for so many years, and the elder sister-in-law treats her well.

Chen Xichen was about to give up, but when he heard what his third aunt said, he tried hard to open his eyes.

Gao E gave Chen Hanyue the prepared brown sugar water: "Feed it in small sips."

Chen Hanyue hurriedly took it and fed it to her brother bit by bit.

Chen Xichen drank the sugar water and wanted to drink it from the bowl, but Chen Hanyue slapped his hand away and said, "Drink it slowly and sip it slowly."

Chen Xichen felt very aggrieved, but he still endured his hunger and thirst and slowly drank the bowl of water.

After drinking a bowl of sugar water, Chen Xichen's complexion looked slightly better.

"Third brother, go find the village head quickly and ask him to gather all the able-bodied men in the village to go into the mountains to look for my sister-in-law." Gao E ordered.

"Hey." Chen Jie finally reacted and turned to go out.

"Hurry up and prepare torches at home." Gao E looked at Lei Shi and said, "Make Xichen something soft and chewy to eat. He needs to follow us into the mountains and lead the way."

"Okay." Lei nodded.

Seeing that Gao E had arranged everything, Chen Ke stood aside feeling a little uneasy.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke: "Life here is not easy, we have to help each other."

Chen Ke stood there with less and less confusion on his face.

Gao E did not expect Chen Ke to tell her about his rebirth, just as she would not tell Chen Ke that she had traveled through time.

It is normal for the parties involved to have many concerns about such an incredible thing.

Soon the sound of gongs was heard from below, just like the day when the villagers went together to find Wang Jinfu. Whenever something like this happened in someone's family, the villagers would put aside their differences and help.

Before Chen Xichen finished eating, the village head had already come up with his men. After listening to Chen Qing's description of the general situation, they prepared to go into the mountains.

Gao E prepared some extra torches for them to carry with them. After all, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, so it was better to be prepared.

The village head was old and did not go with them. Chen Qing walked in front with his son on his back, and Chen Jie followed behind holding a torch to light the way for them.

Gao E watched the torches slowly disappear into the forest, praying that her sister-in-law would return safely.

Zheng Fengan stood at the door: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are both good people. Your sister-in-law will be fine."

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Gao E expressed gratitude.

"I'll go back first." Zheng Fengan said as he was about to leave.

"Uncle Zheng, wait a moment." Gao E said and quickly went home.

When she came out, she was carrying a smoked fish and a piece of bacon.

"You can eat it after steaming it." Gao E handed it to the head of the village.

"This..." Li was about to refuse.

"Uncle Zheng, take it. I have to prepare some food for the people going into the mountains. After all, they have been running around for our Chen family all night." Gao E stuffed it in his hand.

Zheng Fengan then accepted it and said, "Don't worry too much."

As he turned to leave with the fish and meat, he saw the old couple from the Chen family running up to him in a hurry.

"I'm here." Zheng Fengan and Chen Fansheng greeted each other.

"Have they all gone into the mountains?" Chen Fansheng asked nervously.

"Don't worry, all the young people in the village have gone." Zheng Fengan said and left.

Jiang turned her head to look at what Zheng Fengan was carrying. She saw clearly that one of them was smoked fish, which the boss and others had taken away before. The other one was so black that she couldn't tell what it was.

"Dad, Mom." Chen Ke came over.

Chen Fansheng walked into the yard with his hands behind his back without saying a word.

Lei also hurriedly greeted him.

"Your uncle Guo can't explain it clearly. What's going on?" Chen Fansheng asked Chen Ke after sitting down.

"My sister-in-law went into the mountains early in the morning. We thought she went straight home. It was not until after dinner that Xichen came back and said that something had happened to my sister-in-law." Chen Ke explained.

Jiang complained as soon as she heard this: "It's so precious to have a child. What kind of mushrooms should you eat? Otherwise, something will happen to your sister-in-law?"

Gao E was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on: "So, sister-in-law went into the mountains to pick mushrooms?"

"Are you still pretending not to know?" Jiang became furious.

Even if Yang were alive, she would definitely be injured and would have to pay for medical treatment and medicine.

If something unexpected happened, she would have to find a wife for her eldest son, which would cost a lot of money.

She also knew that Yang was a good person who worked hard for the eldest brother and was not complaining. It was not easy to find such a daughter-in-law.

Gao E had mentioned picking some mushrooms before, but no one took it seriously. It was normal for villagers to go into the mountains, but this time something unexpected happened.

"What do you mean, mother?" Lei jumped up first. "Are you saying that the eldest sister-in-law's accident was caused by the second sister-in-law?"

Jiang pursed her lips but said nothing.

"My eldest sister-in-law sent Yan'er here today and said she was going into the mountains. My second sister-in-law didn't even know she was going." Lei felt that her mother-in-law was unreasonable. "Besides, my eldest sister-in-law was willing to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms for my second sister-in-law because she was kind to her."

"When Yu Ning was injured, it was my second brother's family who paid for it. It was only in my second brother's family that Yu Ning was able to be well taken care of."

"An accident happening in the mountains is just an accident. Accidents can happen every time we go into the mountains. How can mother say that an accident is my second sister-in-law's fault?" Lei became more and more angry as she spoke.

"That's enough!" Chen Fansheng saw that Lei Shi was not going to stop. "Your mother is not talking about you, why are you making such a fuss?"

"So you are just bullying my second sister-in-law because she is easy to talk to?" Lei was dissatisfied.

Is Gao easy to talk to?

Gao was just silent for the time being. Once she spoke, no one else had the chance to speak.

Gao E also realized it now: "Dad and Mom came here because they are worried about my sister-in-law, or do they want to hold me responsible?"
