Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 12 It’s Not Easy to Be a Rain God
Old Man Yuan nodded. "Your mother is right. We have to take these to the county to sell. Firstly, we'll inevitably run into acquaintances in town, and secondly, the price offered in the county will be higher than in town."
The Yuan family had no objection, as Old Lady Liu and Old Man Yuan had always been the ones making the decisions at home.
In the evening, Old Lady Liu returned the silver bracelet to Shen Chulan and said, "Tomorrow, the second and fourth sons will go to the county to sell deerskin, deer antlers, and tiger skins. They should fetch a good price. You can keep this silver bracelet and wear it."
Shen Chulan didn't act pretentiously and accepted the silver bracelet with a smile.
The whole family went to bed. In the middle of the night, Old Lady Liu was worried about Yaoyao, so she got up to check on her.
Suddenly there was a noise coming from the kitchen. Old Mrs. Liu was annoyed. Well, someone stole things from their Yuan family. She would beat the thief to death!
He picked up a wooden stick from the corner and crept towards the kitchen. Hearing the sound of footsteps in the kitchen, he raised the stick high in his hand and said, "You blind bastard, I will beat you to death!"
"boom!"
"Mom! It's me!"
The stick hit the person, and Old Lady Liu could only see the person in front of her clearly in the moonlight.
He said sternly, "Third daughter-in-law, what are you doing in the kitchen so late at night!"
When the Yuan family heard the noise, they all came out with oil lamps, and their faces turned cold when they saw the scattered food at the feet of the third son's wife.
There were only about three pounds of rice, a dozen sweet potatoes, fresh mushrooms, a large piece of venison, and a chicken with its feet tied on the ground.
The third daughter-in-law was hit hard on the face, and it was so painful that she fell to her knees in front of Old Lady Liu and said, "Mom, my brother is almost starving to death. I want to take some food back to help him."
The Yuan family members' eyes changed. Is this just a small thing? They are almost emptying the house!
Old Lady Liu took a deep breath and said, "Your brother has been idle all day. He deserves to starve to death!"
The third daughter-in-law's parents gave birth to four daughters before they had one son. They pampered him every day and told him not to do any housework or do any other work. They brainwashed their daughters, telling them to be nice to their younger brother and that he was their support.
Originally, Old Lady Liu looked down on the third son's wife, but it turned out that the third son, such an honest man, fell in love with her!
"Mom, please have pity on my brother. He's really starving to death." The third son's wife cried, "When I went back to see my brother this afternoon, he was so hungry that he couldn't get out of bed. My parents died young, and I can't watch him starve to death. He's the only child in our family. If he starves to death, our family's incense will be cut off!"
"Every family is hungry nowadays. Do I have to deliver food to their door? Don't even think about it!" Old Mrs. Liu shouted with a gloomy face.
Old Lady Liu naturally had her considerations for not wanting the third daughter-in-law to take anything back. If all the daughters-in-law in the family said they wanted to take something to support their parents' home, what would the more than ten people in the Yuan family eat?
Besides, these things were given by Yaoyao, and she didn't want Yaoyao to take them out frequently. Any one of these things would be very eye-catching if taken out.
Yuan Laosan walked forward with a stern face and pulled his wife into the house. The others returned to their rooms with different expressions.
Old Lady Liu entered Shen Chulan's room. Yaoyao was awakened by the noise outside. Her mother stuffed food into her mouth. After getting used to it, Yaoyao had accepted this fact.
After Yaoyao had eaten and drunk enough and had poop and peed, she cleaned up and started playing with bubbles.
"Yaoyao, do you also think grandma is too cruel?" Old Mrs. Liu picked up Yaoyao and put her face against the little girl's.
Yaoyao noticed that her grandmother was in a bad mood, so she babbled and touched her face. (Actually, she was beating her.)
"If only it had rained, we wouldn't have been forced into this situation."
In the past, if Old Lady Liu was willing to give out some sweet potatoes, vegetables, and flour to help those who had no food to eat, but now there is a drought, if she takes a wrong step, the Yuan family may be doomed.
Raining? Yaoyao tilted her head, blinked her big watery eyes, and patted her grandmother's face. Raining is easy, there is plenty of water in this Pixiu space.
"Why am I telling you all this, little brat? The fact that you can produce those things is already a great honor for the Yuan family. How can you say anything against God?"
Grandma, are you talking about Father Tiandao? Grandma, believe it or not, if I curse Father Tiandao a few times, he will be angry and strike me with lightning, spitting and scolding me.
Father Tiandao is extremely stingy, just like the old Emperor of Heaven. She'd better not provoke him. If he strikes her with lightning, she won't be able to escape.
Old Lady Liu put Yaoyao down and called the second child out, then called the eldest child, and the second child went to the main room.
"You guys divide the bag of sweet potatoes at home into several portions and give them to your in-laws. Remember not to let them know that they were given by you." Old Mrs. Liu thought about it and made this decision.
This is all she can do. If she can't give it openly, then she will give it secretly.
It was already midnight when Boss Yuan and his brothers finished delivering these things. They returned to the house, explained the situation to their wives, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The daughter-in-law of the Yuan family went to bed with a grateful heart and did not think that what Old Lady Liu did was wrong.
Except for the third daughter-in-law.
At this time, a crackling sound was heard outside the house, which was the sound of rain hitting the roof.
The Yuan family members who had just gone to bed got up again, each with a happy look on their face, and took out everything in the house that could hold water to fill it with water.
"That's great, God finally opened his eyes!" Old Mrs. Liu stood in the yard and opened her mouth to drink the rainwater, feeling that the rain was sweet.
With this rain, the crops will survive!
The village was bustling with activity, welcoming the long-awaited sweet dew.
The rain continued all night long, and the river in the village rose visibly.
Yaoyao yawned and fell into a deep sleep. It’s not easy to be the Rain God. This Pixiu is really exhausted.
Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao Si got up early, carrying deerskin, deer antlers and tiger skins, and went out into the fog after the rain.
The road smelled of mud after being soaked by rain, but what surprised them was that the fields on both sides of the road were lush and green, and the trees were sprouting new buds. The village had changed overnight.
This is probably the rain after a long drought, and all the silent creatures in the earth suddenly wake up and rush to welcome the new life.
The two looked at each other and saw the hope of life in each other's eyes.
The crops are saved!
The road was full of villagers, all of whom greeted them with happy smiles on their faces and walked towards the mountains. After the rain, there were many wild animals in the mountains.
Ye Wan took his third daughter-in-law, who was still sleeping in, to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Ye Wan automatically blocked out the third daughter-in-law who kept complaining all the way.
It took Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosi three hours to reach the county.
The two ignored the roadside food stalls and went straight to Lanzhitang, the largest restaurant in the county.
"Brother, may I ask if your boss is here?" Yuan Laosi bowed to the medicine boy guarding the door and said politely.
The medicine boy looked at the two people in front of him. Although their clothes were patched, they were clean. They faced him neither humble nor arrogant. Especially the one in front of him, who had the temperament of a scholar, was well-read and had a dignified appearance.
"What do you want from my boss?" Seeing that they were polite, the medicine boy also spoke politely.
Yuan Laoer took off the basket and showed the things inside to the servant.
The medicine boy was very excited when he saw what was inside.
"Please come in." The medicine boy's attitude became positive and enthusiastic.
