A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Boss Mo opened the door and looked coldly at Mo Yunmei.
Mo Yunmei was still afraid of her older brother. He looked terrifying when he was angry, with bulging veins and eyes spitting fire, as if he could destroy her at any moment.
But Mo Yunmei still retorted defiantly, "Shouldn't a sister-in-law help her sister-in-law with chores?"
Mo Laoda exuded a cold aura and scoffed, "Are you missing a hand or a foot? Are you completely unable to take care of yourself? If you want to live a life where others take care of you, I don't mind breaking your hands and feet so you can lie in bed and be served."
After saying that, he looked around for a stick.
Seeing this, Mo Yunmei didn't dare to say another word. Escaping was the priority. She let out a cry and ran away as fast as she could.
Everyone else was used to it, and no matter how loudly Mo Yunmei shouted, they didn't think anything of it, so no one came out to help her.
Su Nanxi was asked to rest after eating. She felt like she was crippled. The food was brought to her bedside, and she ate and then went to sleep!
There was nothing she could do; she couldn't go against Mo Qinghe's wishes, so she had no choice but to obediently take a nap.
In the afternoon, she refused to lie down no matter what, insisting on going out for some fresh air.
She's not a new mother, yet she can't even leave the house or feel the wind!
Mo Qinghe couldn't refuse, so he asked Old Madam Mo to invite Doctor He. After Doctor He said that she was fine, he finally agreed to let her go out of the courtyard.
But this only applies to the small courtyard; you can't go outside the main gate!
Sigh! Alright, let's take it one step at a time. Today I'll leave the room, tomorrow I'll leave the yard!
Mo Qinghe, unaware of his wife's thoughts, followed her to the crabapple tree. He didn't care what his wife did; he simply wove bamboo strips beside her.
He used to like sitting under the eaves, where he could bask in the sun and the light was good. But his wife preferred to stay under the crabapple tree, so he followed suit—what can you do when your wife likes it this way!
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Jiarong rushed back and ran to Su Nanxi, "Third Sister-in-law, those bamboo pipes in the field have been dismantled and thrown away! Those people are so mean!"
What!
So arrogant? They've already demolished everything!
Mo Qinghe stopped her, "Don't be angry, I'll go with you to take a look."
Su Nanxi looked at him, then at the wheelchair, thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and went behind the wheelchair to push it.
When they arrived at the field, they found that it had indeed been dismantled and thrown far away.
Mo Qinghe hadn't come out for a long time and, not understanding what was going on, asked, "Wife, what happened?"
The children who had stayed in the field ran over and, together with Mo Jiarong, started chattering away, helping Mo Qinghe answer his questions.
Mo Qinghe's face turned cold upon hearing this. He had neither encroached on anyone's land nor obstructed anyone's passage, so why would he deliberately destroy it?
Seemingly knowing that someone from the Mo family would be coming, some people were waiting in the fields. When they saw the people coming, they ran out and started shouting at them.
"What's wrong with your Mo family? You've erected these bamboo poles on my land, and there's water flowing through them! Did you even ask for our permission? If my rice doesn't grow well, will you compensate me? What kind of mess are you making of every day! If I see you setting these up again, I'll cut down a few bamboo poles and lay them across your land!"
Mo Qinghe said calmly, "Being above the fields shouldn't have any impact on the rice, right?"
The man stood with his hands on his hips, "How could it not have an effect? How can the rice grow well if it's blocked from the sun! Besides, how can you be happy if there's a bamboo stalk constantly hanging over your head? No way! Will the rice grow well then? No, how can it grow big grains? What you're doing is really affecting the feng shui of my fields!"
Su Nanxi thought the man looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him. She just thought this grown man was really not likable at all.
However, she also knew that she was not entirely in the right, since it wasn't her own land and she couldn't argue with others if they didn't give way.
She felt it wasn't worth arguing with such people. If they wouldn't do it, then she wouldn't; things would be easier once she got the waterwheel installed. If they still wouldn't do it, she'd just buy the whole piece of land!
Mo Qinghe watched his wife's small hand move in his palm, and his anger subsided. He said coolly to the man, "Fine! We understand, and we hope you remember what you said today!"
The man was momentarily frightened, but quickly regained his composure, arrogantly raising his head. "I'll remember that! You all better remember that too! Humph!"
There was no other way but to carry water to water the vegetables. It was too hot and the ground was very dry, which exhausted the men and left them covered in sweat.
Mo Qinghe couldn't help, so he could only watch from the sidelines. He knew his wife was thinking about buying land, so he carefully observed the nearby fields.
After Su Nanxi finished watering the children, she gestured to ask what they wanted for dinner. The children got excited when they heard there was food, and they all said they wanted pancakes.
So she led a few people to dig up purslane and plantain seeds, and cut wild leeks.
Mo Qinghe experienced firsthand what it was like to dig for wild vegetables and collect eggs. He finally understood why Mo Dongcheng loved going with him so much—it was so exciting and thrilling!
Back home, the children helped pick wild vegetables, washed them, and let them drain. Then they helped make pancakes, which Su Nanxi then fried in a pan.
Mo Qinghe also joined in, and Su Nanxi set up a table in the yard to accommodate him, so he wouldn't have to squeeze in with her in the kitchen.
He was so happy! Even though he was clumsy and couldn't do it perfectly, he still did it very seriously, and his wife praised him!
I'm so happy!
I'm even more motivated to keep going!
Finally, I made a pancake that was barely acceptable.
When his wife brought him the pancakes he had made himself, he felt incredibly content. He realized how happy he was to be by his wife's side!
No wonder these kids love following their wives around so much!
Su Nanxi chopped up some pork cracklings and mixed them in; it smelled delicious!
When the others returned, they quickly put down what they were holding, washed their hands, and came over to eat.
Everyone ate until their mouths were covered in oil, and they looked completely satisfied!
Just as they were enjoying their meal, Mo Yunmei returned. She had smelled the delicious aroma; such a wonderful smell meant that something delicious had been prepared at home, which was why she rushed back.
The speed of a 100-meter sprint is quite fast; he almost couldn't stop and crashed into the table.
Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively picked up their own pancakes, put them on their plates, and then went to eat them.
So it was as if Mo Yunmei had knocked everyone away, leaving only the table behind.
Mo Yunmei hurriedly ran to get the bowl, but when she came out, there was nothing left but a table, and everyone had disappeared!
What, what's going on now!
Grandma Mo came out and gave her a small bamboo basket of wild vegetables and half a bowl of flour. "Here's yours, no need to look for it. Eat it however you like!"
After saying that, he put it in her hand and turned back to his room.
Why go back? To eat pancakes, of course!
Mo Yunmei was stunned, and looked at the thing in her hand, completely at a loss.
How is she supposed to make pancakes? The wild vegetables haven't been picked and washed properly, and the flour hasn't been mixed.
Why not cook together? What's wrong with cooking just enough for one more person?
"Mother, I don't know how to do it!"
