God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy
Chapter 19 Qin's Sister-in-law
"Sister Caixia! If you hadn't delivered my baby, we wouldn't have survived! I haven't been very smart these past few years, and I haven't come to visit you. Look, this little gift is a token of my appreciation, so please accept it!"
Dong Caixia's eyes turned red, but she didn't refuse anymore. She was actually not very old, but she had spent all her family savings taking care of her mother-in-law in recent years. She had been worn down by life and had aged a lot.
"Mother Daqing, thank you so much! The men in the family are all out working, so they can't help you with the house repairs. But there's a big iron pot sitting idle at home. If you need it, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Lin Yue's eyes lit up. The big iron pot was not cheap. In the past, the Qin family had many people and lived a good life, so it was normal to have two pots. Now they were no longer needed, and even the big iron pot was idle, which showed that the Qin family was really having a hard time.
"Sister Caixia, thank you so much! I'll go see my aunt when I'm done here."
Dong Caixia's awkwardness finally eased when she saw that she could help Lin Yue. The vegetables at home were just enough for her family to eat, and they didn't have much food left. But these past two days, her mother-in-law had rarely had a chance to drink some soup, and she felt really bad about exchanging a few cucumbers for so much meat. After thinking for a long time, she decided to come with a thick face. Fortunately, Lin Yue was generous. The big iron pot at home had been dismantled for a long time, and she had always wanted to sell it and exchange it for a few packets of medicine, but her mother-in-law refused to take the medicine anymore, so she kept it there and was reluctant to touch it.
"Then I'll go back first!"
She greeted a few people, turned around and walked away slowly. It was obvious that she walked slowly because her legs had been injured and were not very flexible. It was said that she fell while going up the mountain to collect herbs.
At noon, all the workers had completed their tasks and went back, leaving only his family, Liu Changgen's family, and Ma Donglian and Liu Sufen.
Lin Yue doesn't have the concept of having two meals a day. Lunch is still necessary, so she asked Ma Donglian to stew the fish that Dalang and others caught yesterday.
Ma Donglian's cooking skills were indeed quite good. She fried several fish and then stewed them. She used lard from a boiled pot. She added the seasonings that Lin Yue had taken out from the space and some dried mushrooms from the villagers to the soup. Not only did it not smell fishy at all, it was so fresh and fragrant! The children were almost crying with greed!
For fear that there were too many fish bones, Ma Donglian also carefully strained the fish soup for the children with a colander.
Each person had a large steamed bun made of two kinds of dough, and a bowl of fish soup. It was so satisfying! I almost swallowed my tongue!
The steamed buns were half steamed and all hung on the door panel. While the buns were being steamed, Liu Zhenzhu took a look at the vegetable patch in the yard. The few green vegetables that had originally been there had been pulled out, and the patch looked a little bare.
"Ayue, I have some vegetable seeds at home. When the house is repaired in a few days, I will bring some over to you. Plant them quickly so you can have some food before the snow falls. It's time to plant radishes and cabbages too. This vegetable garden can't be left empty. We have to start planting quickly."
"Okay! Listen to my sister-in-law."
Lin Yue is not good at farming, so she will probably have to ask Liu Zhenzhu for help when the time comes.
When it was almost dark, all the steamed buns for three days were steamed, with only some left over and no less. When the three of them left, Lin Yue asked each of them to take two back with them.
At the village chief's house, Old Man Ye was a little absent-minded the whole day. He felt bad ever since he heard that Lin Yue had hunted a wild boar.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand why Lin Yue dared to go hunting wild boars in the mountains after her mind recovered. Maybe she was really forced to do so! If she didn't try her luck, how would she raise the four children?
He also wanted to try wild boar meat, thinking that he was the head of the village and had helped her before! If Lin Yue was a good person, she would definitely send some over, right? So he didn't ask his family to exchange for pork at all, just waited for Lin Yue to bring it to him.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, all the villagers happily exchanged the meat and went back, but no one came back from home.
At this moment, every household was preparing dinner, and the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat. He was in agony!
Mrs. Li saw through his thoughts early on and deliberately delayed making dinner because she was thinking the same thing.
Now she could no longer hold her temper and began to nag.
"I told you long ago that we could go get something to exchange, but you insisted on waiting, waiting, waiting! What are you waiting for? She didn't even think of you as the village chief! You're really something. You gave her face a few days ago, but she didn't even think about returning the favor! Humph! If I had known this would happen, I would have broken those bowls instead of giving them to her!"
Old Man Ye's face turned pale. He hadn't expected Lin Yue to be so rude. That was wild boar meat! Even though he was the village chief, his family hadn't eaten wild game in a long time.
"Dad, how about I go ask if there's anything left so we can get some to exchange?"
Ye Dazhu guessed something from his mother's nagging, but he was really greedy. A few days ago, he stole the chicken at home and tasted meat. These days, he was greedy again. Smelling the aroma of meat all over the village, he really couldn't sit still.
"Why are you so greedy! Don't tell me that chicken went into your wife's stomach! You're such a careless person, you've been instigating her to eat it secretly every day!"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she even scolded her son and made indirect accusations.
Niu Jiaojiao was originally peeking out of the window. When she saw her father-in-law turn around and go into the house, she immediately retorted a few words. In this family, she was not afraid of anyone except her father-in-law.
Mrs. Li was furious. If she hadn't given birth to a fat grandson for her family, she wouldn't have spoiled her! Look at that fat, lazy troublemaker!
"Mom, mom, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt! I'll go back and tell Jiaojiao! Besides, she did it for Jingui'er. Jingui'er hasn't eaten meat for a long time! He's craving it!"
When Ye Dazhu saw that his mother's face was not right, he quickly stepped forward to comfort her. He used the same skill as he had used to coax his wife to comfort his mother and even brought out his son as a shield. This trick always worked on Mrs. Li!
Sure enough, when her eldest grandson was mentioned, Mrs. Li felt distressed.
"Mom, give me something. I'll take it to Dalang's house and exchange it for some meat! This is much cheaper than going to town to buy it. How can I eat this bland meal?"
Being pestered by Ye Dazhu, Mrs. Li was at a loss. After thinking for a while, she scooped out two pounds of old flour from the flour jar. After all, her son was right. It was much cheaper than the meat in the town. If the other party refused to give it to her, she would feel really at a loss if she didn't go and exchange it for some!
"Go back quickly, or your dad will scold you again if he sees you!"
Ye Dazhu was delighted and went out with the things in his arms, heading straight for Lin Yue's house.
At this time, he guessed that the meat had been replaced, so he didn't go in directly. When he saw Erlang in the yard, he rolled his eyes and called out quietly.
"Erlang, Erlang!"
When Erlang saw that it was Ye Dazhu, he walked over.
"What are you here for?"
"Erlang, do you still have any wild boar meat? I'd like to exchange it for some. Could you talk to your mother and give me two pounds? I'll trade it for noodles."
Erlang rolled his eyes and looked at the cloth bag in his arms.
"You're late. All the meat has been exchanged. The only thing left is the meat we eat at home. That's all good meat, so we can't exchange it for you."
Erlang was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Ye Dazhu grabbed him and said, "The meat at home is better!"
