Chapter 244: Her Ex-Mother-in-law

Liu Sheng also saw Jiang Yu on the frame.

In the past, when she was at his house, her face was sallow and she gave off a lifeless tiredness. But now she was gentle and soft, and somehow she looked like a pool of water.

He was a little stunned and wanted to go up and mock her, but suddenly he remembered the pain in his body and the stench of the pit, so he shrank back and turned around to avoid her.

The men in the Jiang family are very protective of their own people!

The men of Qili Village united again and advanced and retreated together, especially the cold-faced and rough man last time. He hurt people so much when he beat them. Although I didn’t see him today, I still didn’t go up to him to get beaten.

Jiang Yu is different from his previous wife. She was killed without any hesitation and no one came to look for her family even after notifying them. But if anything happened to Jiang Yu, her family would skin him alive!

Forget it. Now he is hungry and cold, and life is getting harder and harder. He doesn't want to suffer any more physical pain.

Besides, what good was it for Jiang Yu to live so well? An abandoned woman who couldn't even have children was a waste of food. He was not like her, who was about to have a son of his own!

Thinking of his son, he looked in the direction of Wang Chuntao.

His hair was dry and yellow, sticky and clumping together in strands. His face was dirty from not washing for days. His clothes were tattered, and he was begging for food with a broken bowl.

There was a deep disgust and disdain in Liu Sheng's eyes. Why did he fall for this woman in the first place?

He lowered his eyes and saw Wang Chuntao's bulging belly, and his disgust subsided a little. After all, even if a woman is pretty, she still needs men to appreciate her. Besides, what's the point if she can't have children?

Chuntao's land is fertile, and she has her cub in her belly...

This was Jiang Yu's first time entering Jincheng. She sat in the middle of the car frame nervously, not daring to look at the victims on both sides.

"It's okay, aunt. We are many in number and the victims are also considerate. Besides, people are distributing porridge now. They won't take action easily unless the situation is desperate." Guan Li glanced at the nervous Jiang Yu and comforted him with a smile.

Jiang Yu said worriedly, "The weather will be very cold later. If these disaster victims are not properly resettled, simply distributing porridge won't be enough."

Jiang Ying listened to her father and husband talk about these disaster victims at home and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. The other disaster victims have been resettled, but these difficult ones are going to cause trouble later!"

She lowered her voice and said, "So I came out to do some shopping today. While there's no rain or snow these past few days, I bought everything I could, and bought everything I needed in batches!

When the weather gets colder, no matter how bitter the wind, rain, and snow are outside, we can just guard the entrance to the mountain and live a comfortable life at home."

Guan Lijiangyu thought it was just an ordinary shopping trip, but after hearing it, she realized that it was equivalent to buying New Year's goods.

"How many more times do you have to come out?"

Jiang Ying calculated the accounts for the two of them and said, "One trip is not enough. Look, we have more than a dozen donkeys, each capable of pulling four to five thousand kilograms. Nowadays, every household needs to make pickled vegetables, and every workshop needs to soak wool. How many large vats will we need?"

And how heavy is it? There are also pots, bowls, plates, jars and so on. Not only do they take up space, but they are also heavy!

There are also wheat, glutinous rice, and sesame from my family, lime from the workshop, things for making tofu from Aunt San’s family, and cotton cloth, cotton, and grain from other families…”

Every household has enough refined rice and flour from what the sister-in-law exchanges for acorns, so there is no need to buy more.

The grains I originally stocked up on, like brown rice, corn, and millet, were enough to last me through March and April, but who says too much food? I just want to buy mountains of it and still have some left over when I eat the new food!

Rich people have plenty of food and don’t like to eat old grains, but for farmers, eating old grains makes them feel at ease.

Jiang Yu thought about the work she was responsible for this time in the city.

Guan Li and Xiang Xi are going to buy things for their wedding. There are many varieties and the time is tight. How can they let Xiang Xi buy the small things needed for the family?

In addition, her sister-in-law wanted her to come out and get some fresh air, so she was responsible for this task.

This time, in addition to the things needed for the workshop, mainly kitchen seasonings, most of the things in the workshop overlap with what other people need, so they can be bought by others;

No one in the village is willing to use vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar as kitchen seasonings - they are more expensive than meat, and it would be better to buy a few pounds of meat with the money you spend on these.

But after the family earns money, my sister-in-law will set aside some of it for the cost of seasonings. This time she came to stock up enough for the winter.

It has been more than ten days since the last time I sold medicinal herbs. The last time was the result of three or four days of labor for the whole village, but this time it took more than ten days!

The amount was several times larger than last time, so the amount of silver was naturally several times more as well.

Jiang Ying and Liu Cuihua were in charge of leading the team this time. They had already discussed it before coming. They would first give each family three taels of silver for purchasing, and then return and settle the accounts after returning. It was not safe to bring too much silver, and each household had a share of medicinal materials, so only a few families brought a little silver for emergency use.

There are three taels of silver for shopping at once. If it weren’t for the fact that they are on the street, the queue would be boiling!

With three taels of silver, you can't afford to spend on cotton cloth, so it would be great to buy two pieces of linen to make new clothes. In addition to the cotton, you can also buy a big iron pot, and some water jars, bowls, plates and jars.

The coarse grains are heavy and cannot be carried by the donkey cart today. The food we have at home now can last until February next year, and if we eat it sparingly, it can last until March or April. It is not very urgent, so we can save it and buy it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Before we set off with the chickens, ducks and geese, my mother told me that I could buy a few more to take home to lay eggs for nourishment. They weren't too heavy, but the space in the car was limited and they couldn't fit in all, so I had to leave them for the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Fortunately, we didn’t buy sheep from the city this time and carry them back. Otherwise, with so many sheep, we wouldn’t be able to buy anything today and would have to carry sheep all the time.

Jiang Yu hurried to buy all the seasonings. The car was packed. She sat on the car frame holding a large bag of cotton. Everyone in the family had new bedding and cotton-padded jackets, but her sister-in-law said that Ali would get married at the beginning of next month, and there would be four women in the family who were menstruating. They couldn't go out in winter. Other things were fine, but the cotton for the menstrual belt had to be prepared in advance.

She said she could use wood ash to save some cotton, but her sister-in-law wouldn't allow it, saying that money was important, but good health was more important, and some money couldn't be saved.

Jiang Yu, holding a bag of cotton, felt his heart was as warm as the cotton.

"Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu! You're a lingering ghost! You're not even a member of the Liu family anymore, yet you dare to offend my grandson!

What sin have I committed to marry a jinx like you?

"I don't care, come down here and apologize!"

The donkey cart suddenly stopped. Jiang Yu trembled all over when he heard the familiar voice he had not heard for a long time. He raised his head from the cotton bag and looked over.

Then a dirty woman with a hideous face rushed over while howling.

It was her ex-mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu!

Jiang Yu didn't expect that after her cousins ​​taught Liu Sheng a lesson, her ex-mother-in-law would still come to trouble her!

The two families had already divorced, and no one had anything to do with the man or the woman getting married. Why were they still clinging to her? Were they unwilling to see her live a good life because they themselves were not living well?

But it’s not her fault that they can’t live a good life!
