Chapter 87 It’s a good idea indeed (1/2)



When Old Mrs. Huang took the initiative to appear at the door of Huang Niu's house, Huang Niu and Tao Chunhua were stunned.

Both of them thought they were seeing things, because Old Lady Huang had never come here on her own initiative before.

The last time I came, I was looking for Tao Chunhua to fight.

Huang Niu was surprised and came over quickly to greet him.

"Mom, are you here to take us back to live with us?"

Old Mrs. Huang glanced at him. What was she thinking? It wasn't like she had lost her mind.

"I saw that you were having a hard time, so I wanted to find something for you to do."

"Mom, do you want me to join you in catching snails and shrimps?"

Tao Chunhua was also excited, "And me, I can help you make cakes! I learn quickly."

She said this, but in her heart she was thinking that she could secretly bring some back to eat when the time comes.

Even after learning how to do it, you can make it yourself and sell it in town.

By that time she will be as rich as Old Mrs. Huang.

You can also become a wealthy man in the village and show off in front of your wife's family.

Old Mrs. Huang said, "The third son's leg is injured, and we are too busy to take care of him. Since you two are free, let him come to your place to recuperate."

Huang Niu was about to agree when he was interrupted by Tao Chunhua.

"It's not impossible to let the third child come to our house. You know how poor our family is. We can barely afford to eat, and we've only survived by selling Xiaojuan's money."

Old Lady Huang sneered, "Don't worry about this. Since we've broken off the relationship, I naturally won't take advantage of you."

As she spoke, she glanced at the two of them, and both of their eyes were filled with excitement.

"I will give you 600 coins a month. You have to take care of him for at least three months. After three months, I can pay you 1 tael of silver for the care you have given him."

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins, six hundred coins a month, and one thousand eight hundred coins for three months. In order to take care of the child, Old Lady Huang was willing to give an extra hundred coins to make it an even number.

It can be regarded as painting a rosy picture for them so that they have something to hope for.

"Tuttttt, mother, it's settled then."

Tao Chunhua was so happy that this was much better than working in the fields. She was so excited that she even called out "Mom".

"Don't call me mom. We are no longer related." Old Mrs. Huang quickly reminded.

If she really didn't want to take care of Huang Youwei, she wouldn't have had anything to do with the couple.

Tao Chunhua said: "Yes, yes, I will call you aunt from now on."

Huang Xiaoman ran over and said, "Grandma, can I still call you grandma?"

Old Mrs. Huang then smiled and said, "You can call me grandma, but they can't call me mom."

All that Old Mrs. Huang did for him was to give him an extra pair of chopsticks when he ate.

As for the rest, Huang Xiaoman got nothing, not even close to Huang Jingjing.

After talking to them, Old Lady Huang went home and asked someone to lift Huang Youwei onto the door panel.

"Mom, what are you doing? I just broke my leg, I'm not dead, please don't bury me!"

In the village, when a person dies, he or she will be wrapped in a torn straw mat and then carried to the mountain on a door panel for burial.

As for coffins, only people with some financial resources would be willing to purchase them.

Usually it’s just a torn straw mat, which is rolled up and buried.

Old Lady Huang slapped him on the body, "Don't move! I'm old and can't take care of you, and your eldest brother is busy. I can't let your eldest sister-in-law and eldest niece take care of you, right?"

"But you can't carry me and bury me alive!" Huang Youwei was scared to death.

"I've talked to Huang Niu and asked them to take care of you. I'll give them 600 coins a month."

The people who were carrying the statue nearby were all envious when they heard it.
