Chapter 10 Grasshoppers in Autumn



Yang Liu glanced casually and found that there were about ten eggs in the basket, as well as some vegetables, beans, eggplants, peppers and the like. In short, it was a full basket.

I thought to myself that he was indeed a member of the secretary's family, so generous.

Anyway, their family is well off, so they would rather take this thing than miss it.

"Sister-in-law, it's just a small favor. Why do you need to bring something to thank me?"

Although her words were full of excuses, her body was very honest and her hand holding the basket showed no sign of loosening.

Li Yuling had been waiting for such a precious son after being married for several years. She looked after him like the apple of her eye. Yesterday, when she learned that he was almost drowned, she fainted from fright. So she knew that it was Chu Yue who saved him. She searched for these things at home for a long time today and finally got them together. She came here sincerely to thank him.

And even though she knew that her sister-in-law had conflicts with their family, she still came to thank her.

These are two different things, and she understands this point clearly.

"Sister, just accept it, otherwise I, your sister-in-law, will always feel guilty."

She heard that Chu Zhiqing put a lot of effort into saving his son and was almost washed away by the water.

This basket of things is really not worth anything.

Seeing her say that, Yang Liu didn't bother to be polite and said, "Sister-in-law, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"

Li Yuling waved her hand: "No, I'm in a hurry to go back and make dinner for my family."

Her mother-in-law favors her younger sister-in-law. Not only does she not allow her to do farm work, she also doesn't allow her to do housework.

As a sister-in-law, after finishing her work in the fields, she had to rush back home to cook for the whole family.

I still found time to come here.

"Since my sister-in-law is busy, I won't waste your time."

Yang Liu went in and took out the things, then took out the basket and returned it to her.

The mother and son thanked her again and again before going back.

She was puzzled. Why did Chu Yue save people and help them give names? When did this man from heaven come down to the mortal world and learn to actively integrate into the people?

Considering his actions over the past two days, she always felt that this man was hiding something from her. No, she had to find some time to cheat him, so that she wouldn't be sold out by him and have to help him count the money.

Zhang Guilan, the secretary's wife, was hunched over, working in the fields to harvest rice.

Li Dazui appeared out of nowhere and scared Zhang Guilan.

She covered her chest and complained, "You big mouth, where did you come from? Do you want to scare me to death?"

Li Dazui looked to the side and, like a thief, motioned her to come closer, then whispered, "Aunt Guilan, I just saw your eldest daughter-in-law carrying a basket of things and walking out. I don't know where she was going, she looked very anxious."

Zhang Guilan was furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and snorted, "Where else can I go? This traitor must have taken the good things from home to her parents' home again. I'll tear her apart when I get back."

When Zhang Guilan's two sons were looking for wives for them, they thought of finding one from the nearby village so that they would know each other well. Moreover, her reputation was far-reaching, so she could better control the wife from the nearby village.

Who knew that this would make it easier for them to betray their parents and take away good things from their parents' home.

Li Dazui was overjoyed to see the fire in the backyard, but he was also afraid that the fire would burn him. He quickly pulled her aside and pretended to be concerned, saying, "Auntie, you should find out the truth before you find someone to blame. Also, don't say that I told you this."

After saying that, she hunched over and sneaked back along the edge of the field just like when she came in just now.

As soon as the whistle blew at night, Zhang Guilan jumped out of the field, her feet seemed to be on a hot wheel, and rushed home in a hurry. The scene was scary to watch.

Her old man Tian Shouyi was squatting under a big tree chatting with someone when he saw a person flash past in front of him and a gust of wind blew past his head.

Tian Laoer, who was joking with him, looked at the receding figure, nudged him with his elbow, and asked, "Secretary, is your house on fire? Why did you leave so quickly?"

Tian Shouyi raised his buttocks, tilted his head and looked over there. Seeing that the butt was shaking, he knew it was his wife. He stood up quickly, said hello to Tian Laoer, and ran into the house.

Looking at the old woman's behavior, he was afraid that she would go home and pick a fight with someone again. He had to go back quickly to help put out the fire.

When Zhang Guilan returned, Li Yuling was cooking in the kitchen. As they were a big family, they were not careless about food, so every time she cooked, no matter whether it was a delicious dish or a coarse dish, she had to fry five or six dishes, otherwise there would not be enough to eat and she would suffer.

After she married Tian Jinping, she privately told him that they would separate from the elderly and live alone in the future.

But his mother refused to agree, saying that if this precedent was set, the second son's family would definitely have to live on their own.

In that case, the several strong laborers in the family would be divided up, leaving only the two old people and the youngest daughter. At that time, they would earn less work points and the family's living standards would definitely drop sharply. She couldn't bear to let her precious daughter suffer with them.

So for so long, the family has been tied together.

Although there were many contradictions, they had no choice but to accept Zhang Guilan's refusal.

Moreover, Zhang Guilan was notoriously cunning and mean. As her daughters-in-law, even if they had some feelings about her, they did not dare to argue with her openly.

Otherwise, this evil mother-in-law will have her own way to deal with them.

Tian Zhuang was playing with mud in the yard. As soon as Zhang Guilan came in, she threw the sickle in her hand to the ground. The sickle jumped high from the ground, scaring the child who was playing with it and burst into tears immediately.

Li Yuling heard the noise in the house and came out immediately. She hugged the child and comforted him, "What's wrong? Zhuangzhuang, be good and don't cry. Mommy made some steamed egg custard and will serve it to you later."

Tian Zhuang grabbed her clothes and cried in his arms. Seeing his grandmother with a gloomy face beside him, he didn't dare to say a word.

When Li Yuling first got married, she was quite afraid of her mother-in-law. Later, after getting along with her for a long time, she finally figured out some tricks.

She knew that people like her were just picking on the weak. The more she was afraid of her, the more she would bully her. So she straightened her back and was no longer afraid of her.

Although she was not nice to me, I didn't dare to cause trouble for her.

Normally, she would never give any good things to their family, and she didn't care. She wouldn't spend her whole life with her anyway.

It's just a grasshopper in autumn. Let's see how many days she can jump around.
