Old Lady Wu Reborn in the 60s: She's Not Doing It Anymore

In her previous life, Old Lady Wu was beaten and scolded by her husband, Huang Mancang, for half her life. For the sake of her four sons, she endured and managed to hold the family together.

...

Chapter 122 Bringing New Year's Goods Home, Oh Yeah!

Grandma Wu asked Huang Xiaoqiang to put the things on the table, and then took things out one by one.

The four Huang brothers and their two daughters-in-law, except for Huang Xiaoqiang, were all dumbfounded.

His mother, her mother-in-law, went to rob and plunder, and brought back so many things?

Wang Huijun and Li Jin'e glanced down at their own small bundles, and upon seeing the comparison, they silently placed them on the stools beside them.

"Go heat up the food first, we'll eat in a bit."

Huang Xiaofu had slept all day and was just rubbing his eyes when two large bags were thrown at him. "Go heat up the food and boil a big pot of water."

Huang Xiaofu blankly uttered an "oh".

Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and various candies filled the entire table. Old Mrs. Wu instructed Wang Huijun and Li Jin'e to divide the food into six portions: one portion for each of the four brothers, one portion for Gu Qing, and the remaining portion to be delivered to the village secretary's house tomorrow.

The two sisters-in-law agreed, and Old Lady Wu pulled out the clothes she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Jin'e's eyes lit up when she saw them. "Wow, Mom, you bought so many clothes! How long are you going to wear them all?" She paused, then added, "Could you spare one for me?"

Grandma Wu shook out the clothes inside and took them out one by one. There were small ones, large ones, men's clothes and women's clothes.

There were even a few pieces of children's clothing.

Li Jin'e suddenly realized that Old Lady Wu had bought the entire family's property.

Huang Xiaomin glared at her and scolded, "What are you talking about? Can't you see everyone has some? You're really insensible!"

His tone was stern, but his eyes signaled to her to keep quiet.

Seeing what Huang Xiaomin meant, Li Jin'e stuck out her tongue.

Old Mrs. Wu took in the red and white faces of her third son and his wife, and said, "Alright, stop playing these yin-yang tricks in front of your mother."

"Everyone should have a share."

Each person received a piece of clothing according to their size, and even the youngest, Huang Xuewen, received a piece of clothing.

Wang Huijun touched the little clothes in her palm and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Grandma Wu's eyes warmed. "No need for thanks, we're all family." She then said to Huang Xiaoguo, who was standing to the side, "If he doesn't behave, just tell me, and I'll break his legs and make him keep his dad company."

Suddenly, Huang Xiaoqiang recalled the man in the black market during the day being lightly slapped by Old Lady Wu, leaving half his face swollen like a pig's head.

Her gaze toward Huang Xiaoguo was immediately filled with pity.

Huang Xiaoguo stiffened, lowered his head, and said aggrievedly, "Now that Huijun has your backing, how could I dare to lay a hand on her?"

It's already good that she's not developing in the same direction as Old Lady Wu.

Grandma Wu nodded and took out rice, flour, pork, and other things from her basket.

Tell Wang Huijun that she's free tomorrow, so she can render the pork fat and use the remaining pork cracklings as filling for dumplings during the Lunar New Year.

"I know, Mom."

Li Jin'e asked, "Then what about me? What am I supposed to do, Mom?"

Grandma Wu: "You stay over there and tend the fire, help her."

Li Jin'e obediently replied with an "oh".

The rest were just some small trinkets; let them take whatever they liked.

Wang Huijun and Li Jin'e were excitedly rummaging through a pile of trinkets, picking at this and that.

It added a touch of color to each of their rooms.

The room beneath our feet was also decorated with a lot of trinkets.

Seeing that the basket was empty, Huang Xiaoqiang blinked. "Where's the box?"

After sorting through the belongings and returning to her room, Old Mrs. Wu took out a box from the mirror space and, as if copying and pasting, took out several more.

They gathered everything together and stuffed it back into the mirror space.

She didn't observe the space often. After arriving in Shanyao Village, she checked the space some time later and discovered that quite a few things had changed inside.

A small patch of space has been revealed in what was previously a white expanse.

There were several sandalwood boxes on the table. One box contained porcelain and jade plaques, another box contained gold and silver jewelry, and the last box contained various kinds of pills and powders.

The items traded with the gophers on the black market came from the Mirror Dimension.

She ate one of the power pills inside, and her strength increased significantly compared to before.

That's why he was able to easily knock out Adada's teeth while he was wearing a mask.

The item traded with the gophers was naturally the elixir inside, diluted of it.

The effects of the elixir in the mirror space should not be underestimated. The groundhog was quite satisfied with the effect after dilution and reduction, so he repeatedly tried to take advantage of her.

If I were to offer him the complete elixir in a trade, whether I could still sit here peacefully is another matter entirely.

However, after what happened with Ada, Groundhog and the people behind him will probably be more wary when working together in the future.

With a wave of his hand, he gathered all the remaining empty boxes into the space.

After Grandma Wu changed her clothes, Huang Xiaoqiang's voice came from outside the door, "Mom, dinner's ready."

"Here I come."

I packed a lot of food from the state-run restaurant: three servings of braised pork, one serving of stew, two plates of eggplant and potatoes, and one plate of stir-fried green beans.

There was also a large bowl of rice.

When Grandma Wu came out, the whole family sat up straight and waited quietly for her to eat together.

Huang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment, then informed Grandma Wu that the meal prepared for Huang Mancang was taken from these dishes.

Grandma Wu nodded.

That bastard Huang Mancang was bad at treating her. Although he didn't care about his sons as much as he did about her when they were young, he was still their biological father and cared for them to some extent.

Therefore, she did not object to her sons showing filial piety to Huang Mancang.

Everyone ate until their cheeks were bulging, and even the youngest, Huang Xuewen, ate a large bowl of rice.

When Wang Huijun saw this, she touched his lower abdomen and said, "Alright, you can't eat anymore. Eating too much will cause indigestion and fever, which is not good."

Huang Xuewen held onto his chopsticks tightly, refusing to let go. Wang Huijun asked curiously, "Didn't you eat lunch?"

Huang Xiaoguo, who was eating with his mouth full of oil, felt a pang of unease. He put down his chopsticks, patted his son on the back, and said, "That's right. Listen to your mother. If you eat lunch and then eat dinner, you'll be stuffed."

Seeing Huang Xiaoguo's serious expression, Huang Xuewen obediently put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that he was relatively obedient, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Huijun didn't take it seriously, picked him up, and put a small toy in his arms.

"Alright, play by yourself for a while."

Grandma Wu glanced at Huang Xiaoguo's guilty expression and said, "You didn't cook lunch, did you?"

Huang Xiaomin blurted out, "Of course, when I woke up, it was already late afternoon."

Before Huang Xiaoguo could cover his mouth, he gave an awkward laugh, "Mom...we..."

Wang Huijun couldn't help but glare at him. Huang Xiaoguo's face stiffened, and he thought to himself, "This woman dares to glare at me."

"Alright, this is the last time. If the adults don't eat, the children still need to eat. If they get sick, it'll be a problem for you. If I find out again that you don't care about the children, I'll slap you too."

Wang Huijun nodded, "Okay, Mom."

"Okay, Mom." Huang Xiaoguo turned his head and glanced at Huang Xuewen, who was sitting to the side playing with toys.

This child has never been sick since childhood and is very healthy, so how could he be sick? I felt that Grandma Wu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
