In early spring, there are quite a few people working in the fields, turning over the soil, weeding, and harvesting vegetables—it's a busy time.

Grandma Xu led the Xu family through piece of land, until they reached the very end, where the Xu family had just bought land, which was more like wasteland than land.

The area was overgrown with weeds, and the path was no higher than an adult's calf. The surrounding plots of land were all neatly arranged, making this wasteland look out of place.

"Old lady, are you here to till the land?" Granny Zhou, who was harvesting cabbages in the field on the left, looked up and said when she heard the noise.

The Xu family members had already started working. Old Mrs. Xu responded faintly and swung her hoe to cut the weeds.

"Mother, the Wu family is so lazy. The grass has grown so tall and they don't even bother to tidy it up," Ma Hong said while shoveling weeds.

"It's fine if we don't clean it up. We can clean it up ourselves in a day if we're diligent. If we clean it up, it won't be this price."

When we bought this land, we negotiated a lot down the price, relying on the weeds as the only option.

Upon hearing the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Granny Zhou interjected, "You don't know, the Wang family hasn't cultivated this land for three or four years. Why is your Xu family so eager to buy this dilapidated land? Look at my land, it's better than theirs in every way."

Anyone with eyes can see that Granny Zhou's land is much better. When the Xu family came to see the land, Granny Zhou even went up to say it.

The land was far apart, so not much could be grown. Seeing that the Xu family wanted to buy the land, she had the idea of ​​selling her land.

Anyway, I don't make much money all year round, so I might as well sell it.

Who would have thought that instead of taking a liking to her own good land, she would set her sights on the Wang family's wasteland next door? Granny Zhou couldn't help but want to tease Granny Xu.

“Your house is good in every way. If it were the same price as his, I would buy from your house.” Old Mrs. Xu was no pushover either, and with one sentence she left Granny Zhou speechless.

Granny Zhou glanced at Old Lady Xu secretly, muttering, "Blind as a bat, serves you right for buying wasteland. Your son is already a cripple, why waste money like that?"

The cripple they were talking about was Xu Genshan. The Xu family had practically emptied their pockets to fix Xu Genshan's leg, even selling some of their land and buying some wasteland at a low price.

Even so, Xu Genshan's leg was still limping, and the town's doctor said that it would be a miracle if he could even hold onto the leg.

"Brother, take a break first, don't tire your legs out." Xu Genzhu couldn't help but worry as he watched his older brother swinging the hoe without stopping.

The doctor said that I need to take good care of this leg and not overexert myself, otherwise I'll suffer later.

Xu Genshan raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his face. "It's nothing."

Anyone else can do these things, so why can't he? His family is in such a state, how can he not have the face to work hard?

Xu Genzhu wanted to persuade him further, but the old man shook his head at him, stopping him.

I know my own son well. He's very stubborn and strong-willed. Not letting him work is like taking his life away.

Their son was depressed and silent for a while, but they are already very content with how he is now.

"Sister-in-law, your son Genshan is lame, and you still make him come out to work? What a waste!" There's just no one who can't keep their mouth shut.

Granny Zhou spoke with pity, but her face showed a look of amusement. Her voice was loud, and Xu Genshan's hoe paused for a moment before swinging even faster.

Grandma Xu didn't want to talk to her in the first place, but this person was really too hateful, always picking at other people's wounds.

"Grandma Zhou, my Genshan is injured in the leg, but he still wants to help with the chores. Your Zhou Qiangzi is perfectly fine, so why doesn't he come to help you with the chores?"

“You old woman, you’re bent over here, struggling to cut vegetables. You have to rest every few steps to carry them back. Before you can even enjoy the money you make, your son tricks you into gambling. Tell me, what are you doing all this for, with one foot in the grave?”

These words struck a nerve with Granny Zhou, and her face immediately fell. "Grandma Xu, I'm just sympathizing with your Genshan. Don't be ungrateful."

"Pah!" Ma Hong couldn't stand it anymore and spat at her. "My brother is fine, he doesn't need your sympathy. You should sympathize with yourself instead. You've been out for so long, I wonder if Zhou Qiangzi has found the silver you hid at home."

Granny Zhou is a gossipy woman who can't stand seeing others do well. Although she's from the older generation, she's not very likable, and Ma Hong can't stand her.

They have a lot of problems in their own family, yet they dare to gossip about the Xu family.

It was one thing for Old Mrs. Xu to say something, but even Xu's daughter-in-law dared to say a few words to her. Granny Zhou was so angry that her face turned black. "Folks, look and judge for yourselves. I am just trying to be kind to the younger generation. How can the Xu family treat people so badly?"

There were quite a few people working nearby, and they all watched the spectacle with sidelong glances. Some of them offered a few words of advice.

"We're all from the same village, why bother with all that? Just do your own work."

Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "You still want everyone to judge? If you don't go back, your son will have spent all your savings for your funeral."

Granny Zhou was unwilling to accept this and wanted to say something more about the Xu family's situation, but Old Lady Xu's words made her itchy, after all, there was still money hidden in the house.

Her son is like a mouse, he's really good at turning things upside down.

She hastily stuffed the vegetables from the ground into her basket, then, supporting herself on the edge of the field, slowly hoisted the basket onto her back. She turned around and glared at the Xu family before hurrying home.

"It's really bad luck to be next to this person." Ma Hong felt annoyed at the thought of this old woman appearing from time to time.

Grandma Xu didn't think so. "Given his son's gambling habits, I'm afraid this land will be sold in no time."

"That would be best." Ma Hong stopped, planted the hoe on the ground, and looked up at the sky. "That little kid said it would rain today, but the sun is so bright now, what rain could it possibly bring?"

"You still believed it even though you knew it was a baby." This second daughter-in-law is hardworking and filial, but sometimes she doesn't seem to have a very good sense of reason.

Without Granny Zhou's constant chatter, the Xu family members all buried themselves in their work, truly embodying the spirit of farmers toiling in the fields.

They didn't look up, so naturally they didn't notice the changes in the sky.

The white clouds had drifted away at some point, and one dark cloud after another drifted in, blocking out most of the sun.

Xu Genshan's leg twitched in pain, forcing him to stop what he was doing and rest while leaning on his hoe.

Only then did I realize that it had gotten dark. Looking up, I saw that the sun was gone, replaced by an endless expanse of dark clouds.

"It's going to rain!" Xu Genshan exclaimed in surprise upon discovering this.

The Xu family members all stopped what they were doing and looked up. The sky in the distance was dark and seemed much lower.

Such a scene hadn't been seen for a long time. "Is it really going to rain?" Even the taciturn old man Xu spoke up.

"No way, the sun was high in the sky just now." Xu Genzhu couldn't believe that the weather could change so quickly.
