Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 36 Who said the ancients were conservative?
Lin Shuyun: ...
"Mother, why are you asking this?"
Lin Shuyun put down the shopping basket and took out a piece of meat. Luckily, she had bought too much yesterday and drained the excess water, otherwise it would have gone bad and become inedible today.
Unfortunately, her other special abilities have not shown any signs of activation so far.
Li glanced towards the kitchen doorway, then stealthily leaned close to Lin Shuyun's ear.
"I heard that he's ruined down there and can't have sex or have children anymore. Is that true?"
If it really doesn't work out, then won't my daughter have to live a life of widowhood and never have any children?
Lin Shuyun couldn't help but laugh. Who said the ancients were conservative?
Look at her mother, such a delicate and beautiful woman, yet she can openly say that her lower body is useless.
"My husband's leg has just healed, there's no rush."
Lin Shuyun gave an ambiguous answer, the feeling of being pressed against her last night flashing through her mind.
cough cough.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you know what's going on."
It doesn't matter what others say; the two of them live together day and night and must know the truth. Judging from the situation, the son-in-law seems alright.
"You silly girl, why did you bring meat back again?"
Looking at the piece of meat on the cutting board, which weighed at least two pounds, Madam Li gave her daughter a reproachful look.
In just a few days, they've brought back so much stuff.
"I'm not going back tonight. Nobody's home. If I don't bring it, it'll just rot and I'll have to throw it away," Lin Shuyun turned to look at Madam Li, asking for her opinion.
Li patted her arm lightly, "I can't argue with you. We still need to be careful with money when it comes to making ends meet."
Lin Shuyun nodded, nodded, and nodded again.
Madam Li chuckled as she watched, feeling that her daughter had changed since getting married; she had become more cheerful and assertive.
fair enough.
"Chestnut Girl, is it true that your family is harvesting apricots?"
Aunt Li's voice could be heard from outside.
Li Shi and Lin Shuyun came out of the kitchen. Besides Aunt Li, there were two other women from the village at the gate.
Madam Li responded, "It's true. How could we joke about something like this? Please just send it over."
The two women behind Aunt Li were overjoyed when they heard this. "Really? Then all the ones on our trees are ripe, and we'll have to climb up and pick them!"
Even at three coins per pound, it can still fetch a considerable amount of money.
In previous years, nobody wanted these. They were either eaten by our own families or given to relatives. If we were lucky, we could only make a little money selling the almonds.
This year, someone actually bought it; it's like picking up money for free!
"Okay, be careful when you pick them, don't break them."
Ms. Li speaks in a gentle and soft voice, making her hard to dislike.
Just after Aunt Li and the others left, Lin Hongzhi arrived.
"Brother, do you have any mud bricks?"
Lin Shuyun didn't waste any time and took advantage of the early hour to build the kiln.
Lin Hongzhi laughed, "That's perfect. A while ago, Mom was planning to raise chickens and was drying mud bricks to build a chicken coop, but Dad got sick and we didn't raise them."
"Come on, let's go to the back door and find a quick spot. We'll have to trouble you to do the work again, brother."
Lin Shuyun spoke as she walked.
Lin Hongzhi followed up, "What's so tiring about this? We're eating so well, I have so much energy I can't use it all up."
I've eaten more meat in the last few days than in the previous two years combined. I'm eating well, so I have the energy to work.
We arrived at the back door.
There was a vacant lot that was exactly where the Li family had planned to raise chickens.
"Let's keep Mother in the backyard; she's easy to lose outside," Lin Shuyun said, pointing out the location.
Almost every household in the village raises poultry, and the Lin family is no exception.
Lin Hongzhi chuckled, "How could Mother know how to raise chickens? It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Haven't all the chickens that my siblings and I have eaten since we were little been bought?"
Lin Shuyun thought about it and realized it made sense. She told her older brother how to build it, and the two siblings started working on it.
At first, Lin Hongzhi didn't want Lin Shuyun to do these chores, but when he saw that his sister was more efficient than him, he immediately had nothing to say.
The two had only worked halfway through when it got dark. Lin Shuyun told Lin Hongzhi to continue while she went to cook.
After the meal was ready, the family sat in the courtyard to eat, chatting and laughing.
Lin Hongwen was especially excited, "Sister, brother-in-law is so knowledgeable. He told me a lot, some of which even our teacher didn't know."
Jiang Changtian spent the entire afternoon in Lin Hongwen's room.
At first, he just looked at Lin Hongwen's books. Later, when the two started talking, Jiang Changtian would explain the parts that Lin Hongwen didn't understand.
Lin Hong was so engrossed in literature that time passed by without him even realizing it.
While serving rice, Madam Li glared at her youngest son, "You too, you have no sense of propriety at all. Your brother-in-law's leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you won't even let him lie down and rest for a while. Don't tire him out."
Jiang Changtian said, "It's alright, Mother-in-law. Now, apart from not being able to stand for long periods of time, sitting is no longer a problem."
His leg no longer hurts, and he even feels that he can stand up without crutches.
Li placed the first bowl of rice in front of Old Man Xu and the second bowl in front of Jiang Changtian.
Looking at his covered face, she said, "How long will it take for this ointment to heal your face? Wearing a face mask makes it inconvenient to eat or drink."
Just as Jiang Changtian was about to say three days, Lin Shuyun, with a mischievous glint in her eye, interjected, "Seven days, it will be fine in seven days."
After saying that, she winked at Jiang Changtian.
Jiang Changtian's heart skipped a beat, and he avoided her gaze.
"That's good, it didn't take too long." Madam Li was even more relieved to hear this.
The son-in-law is good-looking and a scholar. He seems to have a gentle temperament. Once his complexion improves, the young couple will surely be able to live a good life together.
"Mother, my husband's ointment is quite good. Shall I give it to you too?" Lin Shuyun asked, looking up at the scar on Madam Li's face.
The scar on Ms. Li's right cheek is very long, indicating that the injury must have been quite deep.
Li suddenly released the rice spoon and covered half of her face, "No!"
Then he laughed awkwardly, "No need, I'm already this old, it doesn't matter whether I'm injured or not. Besides, these are old wounds, and they might not be able to be removed."
No matter who asks, the scars on Li's face are from when she was young, when she slipped and fell while cutting grass and was injured by a sickle.
Many people felt it was a pity, as she was disfigured. Otherwise, with Li's looks, she wouldn't have needed to live such a poor life with Lin Dahai.
Li was not a local. She was brought back by Lin Dahai one year when he went out to work with the shopkeeper. It was said that she was a poor woman who had fled from the south.
Although Ms. Li's face was injured, the two have remained a loving couple for many years.
Lin Shuyun instinctively felt that there must be a story behind Madam Li's wound. "Mother, this ointment was prescribed by Doctor Yang's master. It's very effective. Why don't you give it a try?"
Lin Dahai spoke up from the side, "Your mother is used to it. You can keep it for yourself. She's beautiful just the way she is."
Lin Hongwen asked, puzzled, "Dad, Mom can be even more beautiful! Why don't you try?"
Lin Hongwen remembers clearly how his mother was often laughed at by the women in the village because of the scars on her face. Although he was young at the time, he remembered it very clearly.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Lin Shuyun noticed that Madam Li was trembling slightly and was about to change the subject when a sarcastic voice sounded from the doorway.
"Hey, you guys are eating so much good food, while I don't even have rice to cook at home!"
