Chapter 14: Contribution to the Su Family
As soon as Shen Yueyao opened her mouth to speak, Madam Meng and Su Erya in the yard looked at her blankly.
Madam Meng couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but from the voice and the name, she knew it was the third son's wife, Shen Yueyao.
Su Erya saw it very clearly.
The person in front of me is my third aunt.
But ever since grandma became blind and could no longer cook for them, Third Aunt has never visited her.
Why are you here now?
Su Erya looked a little alert and hurriedly stood in front of her grandmother, trying to find a way to protect her.
Shen Yueyao couldn't bear to see the emaciated appearance of the grandparents and grandchildren.
Su Erya was so thin that she didn't look like she was twelve years old. People would believe she was only eight or nine years old.
Madam Meng whispered, "Is Yueyao here?"
Although Shen Yueyao did things very abnormally and had a bad reputation, she gave birth to two sons for Su Xueyi and made contributions to the Su family.
When the Marquis's Mansion was convicted, the eldest son's wife asked for a divorce and left, which deeply hurt the eldest son's heart and he even didn't want his daughter anymore.
The second son’s wife was a good woman, but unfortunately she was weak and died early.
Now the Su family can only rely on the third son and his wife.
So Madam Meng had complicated feelings towards Shen Yueyao, and among her complicated feelings there was a little bit of gratitude.
Although Shen Yueyao is fat, in the eyes of Old Lady Meng, she is strong and not sickly. Moreover, she is fertile and has given birth to two sons for Xueyi.
Her two grandsons are so smart and sensible, which makes people feel very happy.
Therefore, Madam Meng treated Shen Yueyao quite well and never acted like she was taking advantage of her mother-in-law.
Shen Yueyao walked over and squatted down naturally, holding Madam Meng's hand and said, "Mother, it's me. I have more than 200 coins here. I can go to the town to get medicine for Daya. Daya will be fine."
Shen Yueyao held the old lady's hand and felt the calluses on her hands.
I also have frostbite on my hands.
Madam Meng trembled, "Yueyao, did you touch the dowry?"
"This money, you..."
Madam Meng knew the family's financial situation best, so how could they have more than 200 coins?
Secretly, she wanted to save her granddaughter.
But if this money is touched, what will happen to the third brother’s family?
The two grandsons also need to eat.
Shen Yueyao said, "I sold my silver earrings, and this morning I went to the town to set up a stall and sell some snacks. I made some money."
"Mom, things will get better. Saving people is the most important thing."
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao took out the purse and gave it to Madam Meng.
Let Madam Meng arrange it.
She put the money in the space so it was convenient to take it out.
Old Madam Meng was carrying a heavy purse and listening to the sound of copper coins colliding, feeling a little excited.
"Third... Third Aunt?"
Su Erya was stunned. Third Aunt was really so generous. Did she misunderstand Third Aunt before?
Shen Yueyao now only had 260 coins on her, all of which she had given to Old Madam Meng.
The rest of the family bought some things in town, including cloth, pig offal, oil paper, books and so on.
Although it is hard to bear, saving lives is the most important thing.
Shen Yueyao entered the room and looked at Su Daya who was unconscious on the bed.
I have to say that Su Daya looks pretty good, but she looks a little embarrassed because she was injured.
She still had a high fever at this time and a wet cloth was placed on her forehead.
Shen Yueyao found a bowl, poured some spiritual spring water into it, and gently let Su Daya drink it.
Shen Yueyao knew that after drinking the spiritual spring water, Su Daya's life would not be in danger.
When I returned to the yard, Su Erya had already gone to find Su Xueyi with the money.
"Er Ya has gone to visit her Third Uncle. She will borrow the ox cart to go to town to get medicine. Yue Yao, thank you for this time."
Shen Yueyao whispered: “Mom, we are all family, we should take care of each other.”
Mrs. Meng was moved by these words.
She had misunderstood the third son's wife before.
"Yueyao, you must be hungry too. We have eggs at home. I remember you like eggs. Let's boil them for lunch."
Although Mrs. Meng is not very good at seeing, she is very capable. She raises four old hens at home, keeps the yard clean, and has cultivated a small vegetable garden where she grows vegetables.
There is not a single weed in the vegetable garden, which shows that someone takes good care of it.
Shen Yueyao looked around and saw that there were spring radishes, celery, radishes, and cabbages in the vegetable garden.
Although not much, it can still grow a lot.
"There are also radishes growing in the fields. They will be ripe in the next few days. I was thinking of asking Erya to bring some over so that you won't be short of food."
Shen Yueyao knew that Madam Meng meant what she said.
Generally, whatever vegetables Mrs. Meng grows here, she will give them some when they are ripe.
It’s just that my predecessor never took it seriously and thought it was natural, so I didn’t feel grateful.
But she knew that growing these vegetables was not easy.
If possible, Madam Meng can take it to the town to sell.
Even if you don’t go to town, you can still set up a stall in the nearby villages during market hours.
But she tried her best to give them food.
Life is pretty hard.
In addition, Mrs. Meng had poor eyesight and was frail and sickly, and her medical treatment and medicine cost a lot of money, so the Su family did not save any money.
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'll make lunch at noon. We can eat when Erya and Xueyi come back."
Madam Meng was a little shocked.
When will Shen Yueyao learn to cook?
She remembered that she never cooked.
Moreover, when Shen Yueyao was at her mother's house, she was the treasure of the family. Not only her parents loved her, but also her brothers and sisters-in-law.
I heard that she was not asked to do any work, so she couldn't do anything.
Of course, Madam Meng would not say it out loud to upset Shen Yueyao.
Anyway, as long as my daughter-in-law is happy, that's all that matters.
As long as I am happy, I will live a good life with my son. It is better for my two grandsons to grow up with the company of their parents.
Unlike Daya and Erya, who look like they have no parents and are so pitiful.
Shen Yueyao had no idea what Madam Meng was thinking.
She said to Dabao and Erbao, "You two stay at home and help take care of grandma and your sister Daya. Mom will come home for a while."
This time, the two nodded obediently.
Shen Yueyao went home to cook first, cutting the leftover cakes from last night into long thin strips to make fried cakes.
I cut some radish, shredded some mustard greens, and some meat and stir-fried them together.
She also made egg and vegetable soup.
After everything was done, Shen Yueyao packed it up and carried it in a basket back to Madam Meng's house.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the voice of Madam Meng coming from inside.
"Xue Yi, the money for the medicine was earned by Yue Yao from selling her dowry. Although she has a bad reputation, since she married you and gave birth to two sons for you, you should live a good life with her."
"I know you think she has a bad temper and a bad personality, and she hasn't been educated, so you don't like her, but you can cultivate your feelings for her. Don't think about divorcing her."
"No matter how extreme her actions were, at least she has contributed to our Su family. She is much better than your sister-in-law. She can only share the wealth but not the hardship..."
"Besides, our family is no longer a place of sin. Dabao and Erbao will definitely need to go to school in the future. If they have a divorced mother, their reputation will be affected..."
"Our family is in this state now, and Yueyao is willing to follow you, which is already good enough..."
Old Madam Meng was trying to persuade Su Xueyi earnestly.
