After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

The summer sunshine makes people feel a little stuffy, but now it is soothed.

Shen Yunwan packed up the clothes in the bedroom, picked up the torn cotton jacket, and made up her mind to make him a new one.

Outside, Lin Chengfeng finished washing clothes and ran to the kitchen to make a bowl of brown sugar water. "Have some."

"Thank you." Shen Yunwan drank in small sips.

I don’t know what Lin Chengfeng told the children, but the four little ones were quietly busy doing their own work. As soon as Shen Yunwan wanted to take action, the four little ones would snatch it back.

"Mom, you take a good rest, we can do it."

……

Dad said that Mom has been weak these days and we can’t let her get tired. We have to make her happy.

Otherwise, my mother would feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Yunwan was still concerned about the ginseng she had just arrived. Since there was no way to preserve it, she had to take it to the herbal medicine shop and sell it as soon as possible.

"That ginseng needs to be taken to town. Otherwise, if it's too late, the quality will be bad and the selling price will be greatly reduced."

"I just told Brother Mao that he will be going to town later."

"Bring some meat when you come back."

"Okay." Lin Chengfeng nodded in agreement.

After finishing his housework, Lin Chengfeng carried a basket on his back, took some Pinellia ternata and went to the pharmacy.

"Mr. Lin is here." The shopkeeper greeted Lin Chengfeng with a happy face.

He heard that Mr. Meng had delivered the plaque to Mr. Lin's home yesterday, and Mrs. Lin's reputation as a miracle doctor was set in stone in Lotus Town.

"Boss, these are pinellia and ginseng, take a look." As he said that, he took out the herbs from the backpack.

A plump and fresh ginseng is pleasing to the eye.

The shopkeeper estimated that today's pinellia and ginseng cost a total of seventy-five taels of silver.

When Lin Chengfeng saw that the price given by the shopkeeper was almost the same as the price Yun Wan had estimated, he knew that the shopkeeper was giving a fair price.

He then thanked the man, took the silver and left the pharmacy. When he passed the tailor shop, he thought for a moment and then walked in.

"Sir, are you going to buy clothes for your wife?" The shopkeeper came forward and asked when he saw him standing in front of women's clothing.

I feel a little envious.

Not to mention in Lotus Town, even in the entire Yue Dynasty, few men would buy new clothes for their wives.

"Boss, please pack this dress for me." After some thought, Lin Chengfeng picked out a light green dress.

He paid the shopkeeper a hundred coins, put the new clothes in his backpack, and bought some cotton on the way.

Then he came to the meat stall and looked at the rows of fresh meat strips. He decided to buy more and put the leftovers in well water. It wouldn't go bad anyway.

"Boss, weigh me three pounds of pork belly."

"Okay."

The butcher cut the fish with one stroke, and it weighed exactly three pounds. He tied it up with reeds and handed it over.

Lin Chengfeng paid forty-five cents.

The sun was about to set, and Lin Chengfeng was eager to go home. About half an hour later, he arrived home on an ox cart. "Brother Mao, I'm leaving first."

Without caring what Brother Mao said, he left in a hurry.

"Dad is back." Chunhua helped hold the meat and pointed behind her, saying, "Mom is in the vegetable garden."

He put down the backpack and strode over. Didn’t he tell her to have a good rest?

"Yun Wan, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything. The children watered the vegetables. I just came in to take a look. These potatoes were given to me by Aunt Sun."

Lin Chengfeng took the potatoes and sweet potato leaves from her hand.

"You go to the bedroom to rest, I'll make dinner." Lin Chengfeng volunteered to go to the kitchen.

Shen Yunwan looked at the figure who had volunteered and found it inexplicably funny. She wanted to go back to her room, but she turned back to the kitchen.

I bought some meat today, and it can’t be wasted.

"How about you teach me here?" Lin Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Yunwan coming over.

Shen Yunwan nodded, "First, cut the meat into thumb-thick pieces."

Lin Chengfeng stood there, handling the meat and vegetables in his hands in an orderly manner.

Shen Yunwan turned her head to look at the man in front of her and felt a little hungry.

"Let me do it." She took the spatula and handed him the side dish.

Add brown sugar to hot oil and fry until golden brown. Add the pork belly that has been rinsed with hot water and stir-fry. The aroma of the meat will spread instantly.

You can even smell it outside the yard.

When the meat turns brown, pour in cold water, cover and simmer for a quarter of an hour, sprinkle in soy sauce, cover and simmer for a while, and the braised pork with a shiny brown-red color is ready to be served.

Then, I made stewed potatoes, one meat and one vegetable, which were delicious and fragrant.

Lin Chengfeng felt that even the food in the town’s restaurants was not as delicious as his wife’s.

The feeling of happiness and panic continued to torment Lin Chengfeng.

"What are you thinking about? It's time to eat." Shen Yunwan interrupted him when she saw his changeable expression.

Lin Chengfeng came back to his senses and placed the dishes on the dining table in the hall.

"Mom, what delicious food have you made again?" Without waiting for Shen Yunwan to call out, the four little ones came back after smelling the fragrance.

"Try the braised pork that mom made today." As she said that, she picked up a piece and gave it to Lin Xiangxi, and poured a small spoonful of soup on the rice. "It tastes better with the soup."

"Thank you, mother. I'll eat too."

Afterwards, Shen Yunwan also picked up some food for her two daughters.

When it was Lin Chengfeng's turn, he held up the bowl with an expectant look.

"You eat too." Shen Yunwan picked up a piece of meat for him and then lowered her head to eat. The whole family cleared the full pot of rice and sat on the stone bench outside the yard to admire the moon.

On a summer night, it is very pleasant to feel the breeze and listen to the chirping of insects.

After a few days, Shen Yunwan felt better.

The village head's wife came over carrying a chicken. "Yun Wan, I've been feeling much better these past few days. I came here today to thank you."

"I've already collected the consultation fee, so Aunt Chicken should take it back."

The village head's wife refused to give in and threw away the chicken coop.

The women in the village came to seek medical treatment one after another, and soon the threshold of the old house was almost broken down by the crowds.

But within a few days, rumors about Shen Yunwan's infidelity spread in the village and became more and more intense.

Hearing these dirty words, Shen Yunwan's face darkened.

"Yun Wan, you have no idea how nasty those gossips are. You're treating them out of good intentions, but they're still slandering you. I wish I could tear their mouths apart."

Mrs. Mao walked up to Shen Yunwan angrily, carrying a bucket of unwashed clothes, and started talking a lot.

This morning she went to the river to wash clothes. Several women from the village were there. When they saw her coming, they immediately surrounded her.

"Hey, sister-in-law, don't you live near Shen Yunwan's house? Have you ever seen a man hanging around her door at night?"

"Or did you hear any strange noises?"

"Afeng is mostly in town, so she's the only one living at the end of the village with her child. Who knows what might happen?"

……

"Bang! Mrs. Mao threw the wooden bucket into the river, and the water instantly splashed on those women.

"are you crazy!"

"Yes, I am sick. So many people in the village are sick, and they were all cured by Yun Wan. Didn't you also go to Yun Wan for treatment?"

"What? Now that you're cured, you're turning your back on me. Are you still human?"

Mrs. Mao wanted to go up and tear their stinky mouths apart.

"I haven't gone to her for medical treatment." The headman's eldest daughter-in-law grumbled dissatisfiedly.
