Famine Years and Fleeing: After Reincarnating as a Farmhouse Mother-in-Law, I Became Amazing

Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...

Chapter 222 Repairing the Car

Sanwang rushed over, looking anxious.

Ruyan huddled beside Liang Shuyan, motionless.

"Mother, what's wrong? What happened to Ruyan?"

Liang Shuyan glared at Sanwang: "You still have the nerve to ask? I'm asking you, did Chunyan say something to anyone?"

"Yeah, that's right. I'm really angry, but when I think about it, Fatty and Yinxia already have a child, so why would he come looking for Ruyan? That's a bit impossible!"

"Then why are you ignoring Ruyan?"

Sanwang stammered, "Mother, it's not that I'm ignoring her, but I want to learn to be more capable, earn more money, and gain more knowledge. Only in this way can I protect Ruyan!"

Liang Shuyan didn't say anything, and pulled Ruyan towards the front of the mountain.

"Auntie, we don't need to go to the front mountain. My brother-in-law went, and he will definitely help the magistrate capture these bandits. Let's go back as soon as possible."

Sanwang followed and got onto the donkey cart. Liang Shuyan snorted coldly: "No matter what, you should talk to Ruyan properly now. Don't just listen to Chunyan's words, you should think carefully about anyone else's words. How can you be so impulsive?"

Sanwang lowered his head and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must talk to Chunyan about this properly!"

"No need to say anything more, I've already sent Chunyan back. These next few days, you'll go with Ruyan to help out at the restaurant. If Manager Xiao is capable, he can keep watch; if not, you can take over the restaurant, provided you have the necessary skills."

Sanwang thought for a moment, then rubbed his hands together and said, "Mother, it's better to leave the restaurant business to Manager Xiao. I want to do something myself. Also, I'm currently learning arithmetic with Mr. Su, so I might not have much time."

The donkey cart soon arrived at Daling Village.

At the village entrance, Liang Shuyan saw Wang Xuehua carrying a bundle of grass, walking slowly. She stopped the donkey cart and asked softly, "Xuehua, are you cutting grass?"

"Yes, Auntie, did you go to town?"

Liang Shuyan nodded: "Alright, it's tiring for you to carry it. Auntie will pull you for a while and then drop you off at your doorstep. How does that sound?"

Wang Xuehua nodded excitedly: "Yes, thank you, Auntie!"

Wang Xuehua didn't talk much in the village. When she saw Sanwang and Ruyan, she nodded awkwardly.

When they arrived at Wang Daikui's house, Wang Daikui was standing at the door looking around, presumably to see Wang Xuehua.

Wang Xuehua saw her father and said with a smile, "Auntie, thank you so much! My dad is waiting for me. I'll get off here!"

Liang Shuyan stopped the donkey cart, and Wang Daikui rubbed his hands with a smile: "Oh, thank you so much. You even pulled Xuehua for a while. Our old cart is broken too, and I don't have the ability to fix it, so it's at home. It's really a lot of trouble for you."

Liang Shuyan replied, "What are you saying? We're all from the same village. Your cart is broken, would you mind if I came and fixed it for you?"

Knowing that Liang Shuyan was a very busy person in Daling Village, Wang Daikui blushed and said, "This, this is too much trouble."

Actually, Wang Daikui doubted whether Dashan's mother knew how to repair cars. He had never heard of her being able to repair cars before.

Sanwang was about to jump out of the car to follow his mother, but Liang Shuyan said, "No need, you wait for me in the car, I'll be out soon!"

Jin Sanwang was also very curious about when his mother learned to repair cars. He wanted to see how she did it, but Liang Shuyan refused.

"Oh, okay, Mother!"

In the Wang family courtyard, a handcart was placed in the yard, its wheels removed and scattered to one side.

"Is the cargo compartment damaged? It looks like the planks have come off!" Liang Shuyan squatted down and took out the detached planks to compare them.

Wang Daikui placed the bundle of hay in the yard, clapped his hands, and said, "Yeah, that's right, but I've never fixed this before, so I don't know how to fix it."

Liang Shuyan glanced at it and said, "I don't know if we have any more of these wooden boards at home. We can take them out and repair them."

"How can we fix this? Isn't it too much trouble? You're very busy, so why don't we just leave it as is?"

Liang Shuyan looked up: "Don't be angry with me. These things aren't difficult. All you need is a plank of wood and an axe, and I can help you fix them. Do you have any nails?"

Wang Daikui nodded: "Okay, I'll go look for it now."

Wang Xuehua came over with a cup of hot water: "Auntie, have some water first, then you can continue your work. You've worked hard."

"Snowflake, sit down. Auntie has something to ask you. Haven't you thought about finding a husband yet?"

Xuehua blushed and said, "Auntie, I, I didn't. If I leave, how will my father live by himself? He won't even have anyone to cook and do laundry. Isn't that pitiful?"

Liang Shuyan smiled slightly: "Xuehua is really a filial child. Leave this matter to your aunt. I'll keep an eye out for someone suitable and introduce them to you. You can stay at home and take care of your father!"

Wang Daikui walked over carrying some planks, placed some nails on the stool, and said with a smile, "Is this enough? These are all leftover scraps of wood from when we built the house before."

Liang Shuyan picked up an axe, chopped the wood, removed the rough parts, and then patched up the broken parts with nails.

The axe struck the surface, leaving it smooth and without a single mark. She called over Wang Daikui, who exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you really are skilled! I didn't expect you to fix it so easily. I'm just a useless person, I can't even fix something like this."

Liang Shuyan then put the cart back on and tested it; thankfully, it worked.

Wang Daikui said happily, "Thank you so much. If you hadn't come to help me fix it, I really wouldn't know where I would have found someone to repair it."

After fixing the car, Liang Shuyan quickly left, as she had many things to take care of at home.

Sanwang held Ruyan's hand and said, "Ruyan, I am indeed very angry, but I don't want to blame yourself. I blame myself for not being capable. If I were capable, why would others care about you? So I want to make myself more successful."

Ruyan blushed and said, "Never mind, it was just a moment of impulse on my part that left Chunyan with nothing to do!"

Sanwang said with a stern face, "Hmph, it's time for Chunyan to learn a lesson. She can talk nonsense anytime and is asking for trouble. Don't even think about it."

Seeing that the young couple had made up so quickly, Liang Shuyan smiled and said, "I'm so happy that you two are like this. Come on, let's go home!"

Sanwang blushed and said, "Mom, you really know how to fix cars! You fixed it so quickly!"

"You brat, do you really think your mother is a useless piece of trash? It's just that the cargo compartment was broken, and I repaired it. It's nothing special."

Before they even reached the door, a voice came from inside: "Mother, you must stand up for Chunyan! Chunyan was only thinking of Sanwang. Ruyan hit our Chunyan, and now, my sister-in-law has even kicked Chunyan out! You must seek justice for Chunyan!"
