Chapter 31: The Sour Emoticon



Having said this, Song Jiayu herself was not embarrassed, but Old Lady Qian and Old Lady Wang were embarrassed. After all, apart from their similar age, they were opposite in all other aspects.

The Qian family relies on Zhou Ying, a level 3 riveter, for their livelihood. Old Mrs. Qian has to take good care of her daughter-in-law and do all the housework. It's her son's fault for not being able to stand on his own feet.

The Wang family relies on Wang Mao, a level 3 fitter, for a living. In addition, Wu Lian gave birth to three daughters before giving birth to a son. Old Mrs. Wang is caring towards her son, but she is a wicked mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and the three money-losing women.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two old ladies became awkward.

Mrs. Qian always felt that Mrs. Wang was laughing at her at this moment, and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Old Lady Wang was actually joking and said, "What they said is right. I think you should urge your son to suppress your daughter-in-law."

Old Mrs. Qian walked faster and faster, entered the house from behind, and closed the door with a loud "bang".

Song Jiayu, who entered the room and saw this scene, smiled happily, "You always like to talk about me, huh."

Complete the mission to destroy the relationship between Old Lady Wang and Old Lady Qian, causing them to go their separate ways. Successfully check in with both old ladies and you'll be rewarded with ten kilograms of rice and one kilogram of lean and fat pork belly.

She originally thought that this task could not be completed, but she didn't expect that the two old ladies would come to her door. She didn't need to deliberately pick a fight with anyone. She was truly a kind and beautiful successor to socialism.

"These dried black fungus and dried mushrooms are in the cupboard. There are more than two pounds of kudzu powder. Let's give one pound to our parents. It's good for the body." Song Jiayu said casually while sorting out the things sent by her mother.

"Just send it if you want. I'll listen to you about everything at home." Jiang Baizhou helped.

"There are also three pounds of raw chestnuts, wild dried vegetables, oh, and fresh wild mulberries. These must have been secretly put there by Beiwang. He is the only one in our family who knows where the mulberry trees are in the mountains. Come, try one." Song Jiayu casually fed one to Jiang Baizhou. The color of the one she picked was not too dark, and it was the kind that looked very sour at first glance. Even if she used the wood-type ability, it could not completely change the taste of the mulberry fruit.

Jiang Baizhou ate it, and his flawless white face wrinkled.

Song Jiayu laughed out loud, but she couldn't escape it either, because someone wanted to share his heart, grabbed her who was gloating, and kissed her directly, which made her tears come out.

[Complete the task of feeding Jiang Baizhou and successfully check in with Jiang Baizhou to receive a Wood Energy Leaf as a reward.]

The system reward sounded, but Song Jiayu still frowned. The mulberry fruit she chose was really not very tasty. It was sour and astringent. Even if the sourness was gone, there was still a hint of astringency, which was a great torture to her taste buds.

It was Jiang Baizhou's turn to smile with satisfaction.

Song Jiayu glared at him.

There were about two pounds of mulberries, which were too much for the two of them to finish and they would spoil easily, so she filled a basket with half of them, took another pound of kudzu starch, and a small amount of dried black fungus and dried mushrooms, and went next door.

Jiang's mother was sewing under the eaves, doing some side work from the garment factory to supplement the family income. Seeing her third daughter-in-law coming, she said, "This dress looks great! Young people should dress up properly. Once you have children and grandchildren, if you continue to dress up, people will call you an old monster."

Song Jiayu smiled and said, "I think the same as you, Mom. This is something my parents asked me to bring. There's kudzu starch, dried wood ear mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and fresh wild mulberries. You and Dad can try some."

As it turned out, most of the mulberries picked by Song Beiwang were sweet, unless one was like Song Jiayu who specifically picked the sour ones. Otherwise, like Jiang's mother at this moment, she just picked one up and ate it without showing any sour expression on her face.

"Yes, very sweet."

In the county, even though the Jiang family lived well, they didn't always have fruit to eat, and it was more expensive than sugar.

Thinking of her four grandchildren, Jiang's mother said, "I'll accept the mulberries. They're just for your four nephews and nieces. Forget about the rest. Your father and I have food to eat. Just enjoy these with you and San'er."

"No, Mom, these are all my parents' repeated instructions. They insist that I send them to you and Dad. Otherwise, I will be scolded when I go back next time. You don't want me to be scolded, do you..." Song Jiayu made a pitiful expression, her eyes like a puppy's, innocent and pitiful.

"Okay, fine, my in-laws are too polite. Don't bring anything next time!" This time, Jiang's mother really felt that the Song family had made a good marriage, the daughter-in-law who married into the family was good, and even the in-laws had good character.

After Song Jiayu left, Jiang's eldest and second wives asked the children to go find Jiang's mother.

"Grandma, what delicious food did Third Aunt bring?" Jiang Chengshi looked at the things on the table in confusion.

Five-year-old Jiang Chengyi and three-year-old Jiang Wanyi looked at them eagerly, expecting their grandma to give them food.

Only the one-year-old Jiang Chengxin understood nothing. He stood tremblingly, holding on to the chair. He was very curious and happy about the new territory brought in by his elder brother. His chubby little hands clapped the table.

Jiang's mother fed each of the four children a wild mulberry. It was sweet and sour, and there was juice when you bit it. The four children all loved the taste of this seldom-seen treat.

Jiang Chengshi: "Grandma, what is this? It's delicious."

Jiang Chengyi: "Sweet and sour stir-fry, super delicious."

Jiang Wanyi: "Can we have another one, Grandma?"

Jiang Chengxin: "Ah, eat, eat."

In response to her grandchildren's request, Jiang's mother said, "Of course you can," and gave a few to the children. The rest would be shared among everyone when Jiang's father came back.

Sister-in-law Jiang Dasao and Sister-in-law Jiang Ersao who got together had something to say.

"It's just some wild fruit!"

"It's like they haven't eaten anything. It's really because my third sister-in-law is so scheming that she even brought some wild fruits."

"The things in the countryside are nothing like what we have in the city. There are only some wild fruits. I guess my third sister-in-law has never seen anything good."

The two of them chatted back and forth, but how could they deceive anyone by looking at the children's happy eating eyes?

What I’m thinking: My mother-in-law is biased!!!

Song Jiayu doesn't care about what happens to the Jiang family, and she won't care. It's up to Jiang's mother to deal with the things she sends. As long as she has done her best, it's fine.

The wild berry vines occupied the last plastic barrel. There was a small wood-type seedling with special abilities in it. It came to life as soon as it was planted, just like the wild vitality it had at first sight on the mountain. The dozen or so wild berries on it that were about to ripen would become very delicious in a few days.

After going down Lushan Mountain, Song Jiayu used a nearly scrapped wooden barrel at home and fertile soil dug from the mountain to plant the jujube sapling.

Before leaving home, Song Jiayu painted a big pie for her younger brother Song Beiwang.

"Beiwang, are you willing to make a lot of money in the future?"
