"Honey, we caught at least forty pounds of crayfish today!"

That's one yuan per pound, that's over forty yuan!

"That's wonderful! I wish there was this much every day."

Yang Juhua couldn't stop smiling when she saw the crayfish in the basket.

“It’s impossible to catch that many every day. You’ve seen it yourself, every household in our village has been mobilized. They’re catching people every day, how could there be so many?”

Besides, this stuff will be gone after the second harvest of millet, so we'll have to wait until next year.

However, we can make the most of this time; we should be able to earn three or four hundred yuan.

He was already content with earning three or four hundred yuan.

"We are so grateful that Cheng Yuan told me in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have had so many gains today."

"Wife, be nicer to your elder brother and sister-in-law from now on."

Yu Erzhu was grateful and hoped to maintain a good relationship with his elder brother and his family.

"Do you need to tell me? Of course I know. I even tipped them off last time!"

I used to think that I could rely on Li Hehua and her husband, hoping that they could help our son.

Who knows...

I was just stupid before; I couldn't tell the difference between good and bad people.

She has truly realized her past mistakes.

"Yes, yes, it's good that you think that way. Our two sons can't study, so they can only go out to work. That's their fate."

As long as they are well, safe, and secure, I believe things will get better from now on.

Yu Erzhu was very happy that his wife thought this way.

"Wife, I'm going to check on Mother. You go ahead and cook!" Yu Erzhu said to his wife.

He was still somewhat worried about his mother, since she was bedridden and he couldn't move around.

He originally asked his wife to stay home and take care of his mother, but she said that the opportunity to earn money was rare, so how could she sit at home?

All the elderly women and men in their sixties from the village went.

Anyway, the mother can only lie in bed, and the daughter-in-law can only keep her company.

Besides, it's only two or three hours; Mother can take a nap, and nothing will happen.

So he agreed, and the couple went to catch crayfish together.

"Alright, go and see your mother!"

There are two sweet potatoes left in the pot. Take them over to your mother so she won't go hungry.

Dinner won't be ready anytime soon.

Although Yang Juhua disliked her mother-in-law very much, she had to put on a good show.

"Okay." Yu Erzhu nodded, went to the kitchen to get two sweet potatoes, and then went to his old place.

Thinking to myself, this daughter-in-law is really good. I thought she would dislike my mother, but I didn't expect her to be so considerate and thoughtful towards my mother.

As soon as he stepped into his mother's room, a pungent stench hit him, and he knew his mother had soiled herself again.

There's nothing that can be done about it. She definitely can't control herself; she can't move and can't go to the outhouse.

"You unfilial son, you've finally deigned to come see this old woman."

As soon as Wang saw her second son arrive, she immediately began to curse.

These two are inhuman. They brought her lunch and then left, and didn't come back all afternoon.

"Mom, I went to catch crayfish, didn't I?"

Son, you can't miss this hard-won opportunity to make money!

You know your son doesn't have any great skills, he just has a lot of brute strength, digging in the ground.

"You should also think about your son!"

Yu Erzhu patiently explained, but he had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

My good mood vanished instantly after being scolded by my mother.

Although Wang was his biological mother, he knew very well that she never liked him and only liked the third son.

I never expected her to still be like this.

"Even if you want to catch crayfish to make money, then your wife can't come and take care of me?"

"You've made me poop again! Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Wang scolded angrily.

She felt that at least one of them should stay behind to take care of her, instead of leaving her there alone for the entire afternoon.

"Mom, why are you saying such hurtful things?"

Chrysanthemum isn't unwilling to take care of you; it's just that she needs to earn money with me too.

It's really hard to take care of the old lady when she's defecating and urinating. My daughter-in-law has had a hard time these past few days, and my mother still says this.

"Oh, so you two are willing to disregard my life and death just to make money? I think you just want me to die sooner."

That way, this old woman won't cause you any trouble or become a burden.

Second brother, is this what you think?

Yu Erzhu was on the verge of tears; his mother was truly unreasonable. "Mother, we would never think that way, nor could we possibly think that way."

Of course I hope you live to be a hundred, but like my wife said, she can't do anything else while watching over you all afternoon, so she might as well go and earn money.

He felt that his wife was right on this point.

"Bullshit, that old hag is just trying to shirk her responsibilities and doesn't want to take care of this old woman."

Wang started swearing at people.

"Mother, Chrysanthemum, she's my wife, not some shrew. Can you please be nicer to her and stop scolding her?"

In any case, she's the one taking care of you now.

She wanted to make money, and she wasn't wrong for not being there to take care of you this afternoon.

My wife said that our two sons are both of marriageable age and we need to save some money for them to get married.

Yu Erzhu couldn't help but start to refute.
