Chapter 400 Warm and Homely
The Liu and He families have had a constant stream of visitors coming and going recently.
Some came to seek medical treatment, some came to express gratitude, some came to seek medical treatment and express gratitude and stayed to chat... The liveliness temporarily diluted the depression and sadness brought by the natural disaster.
After ten days or so, the younger generations of the Liu, He and Su families became inseparable.
Seeing this scene, the elders of the two families couldn't stop smiling, which attracted the envy of the people around them.
The two elders of the He family have recovered from their illness and moved out of the woodshed, but their bodies have been damaged by years of hard work and they still need a long time to recuperate.
In October, autumn arrives and the weather starts to get cooler.
When the sun is shining during the day, the two old people sit under the eaves of the yard to bask in the sun and chat with the villagers who come to visit.
"After all the hardship comes happiness. You can expect to enjoy happiness from now on," a villager said with a smile. "So people really need to be conscientious and accumulate virtue. There really is karma... Some people are too ruthless, and now they're suffering the consequences. They sit at their doorsteps every day cursing at the heavens and their mothers."
"You mean the family in Chenjia Village? Humph, they deserve it! That old hag in their family will definitely have a bad ending in the future. Back then, she scolded the Su family's Xiu'er for not laying eggs. The Su family exiled her and then tortured her daughter. Fortunately, Xiu'er left quickly, otherwise it would have been a waste for her to stay. Later, his family's Chen De married the old hag's distant niece from her mother's family. Guess what? She's also a powerful woman, causing chaos in the Chen family every day!"
"People from the same family should stick together, it's deserved!"
The He family listened without saying anything else.
They are the Su family's in-laws, so it's not good to talk too much about this kind of thing.
Besides, the Chen family and the Su family have had no relationship for a long time. Whether the Chen family lives well or not is other people's business. They just need to be happy secretly.
Wu brought some warm tea from the kitchen and sat down to listen to the gossip. After a moment, she couldn't help herself and pulled a stool to sit next to her mother-in-law, lowering her voice, "Mom, Guang'er and Ping'er are having a great time with their cousins now! Xiao'an is in the shipping business now. I heard that he has his own docks and shipping routes in many places in Dayue... Oh, as a woman, I don't understand those things, but he can make a lot of money anyway. Mom, do you think Guang'er can do errands for Xiao'an? We don't ask for much. As long as he can earn enough to eat and support his wife and children throughout the year, that's enough. What do you think?"
Old Mrs. He is over sixty years old this year. She has lived a poor life of simple meals all her life as a farmer. Now she has fallen seriously ill and the look of illness has not faded.
Hearing this, the old woman glared at her daughter-in-law. "How could I not know about your little thoughts? But let's not talk about this for now. The Su family remembers favors, but we can't be greedy. Listen to me, even if we don't mention it, Xiaoan and the others won't watch Guang'er and Ping'er live in poverty. Why don't you take Guang'er and the others to the capital to see them?"
Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and nodded, "Mother is right, I will listen to you!"
Let’s not talk about it. Judging from the situation, even if Guang’er can’t get on the Su family’s big ship, he can still pick up some small fish and shrimp to eat!
Enough is enough, don’t be greedy!
Otherwise you might overdo it and end up with nothing.
The Chen family is a lesson for us!
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to make some medicine for you! Call me if you need anything!"
Old Mrs. He and Old Man He looked at their daughter-in-law's hurried back, shook their heads and laughed.
This daughter-in-law is smart and usually has a lot of small calculations, but her heart is towards her family, which is a good thing.
The situation is similar at the Liu family.
Liu's eldest and second aunts have been taking care of their parents-in-law all the time these days, always following their lead and being filial and attentive.
In the eyes of the younger generation, it was both funny and helpless.
In the carriage on the way back from the capital, Liu Dazhuang was still complaining about his mother, "Cousin, why don't we go out for a walk? It's still early, there's no need to go back so soon. If we go back, my ears won't be at peace. I never knew my mother was so nagging."
Liu Xiaoniu agreed wholeheartedly, "When we were running around with my cousins, the light in my mom's eyes was green. It was really creepy!"
Both of them are from the eldest branch of the Liu family. Liu Shitou and Liu Bangchui, who were in the same carriage, are from the second branch.
As they got closer to home, the four of them felt more and more helpless, as if the carriage was about to burst.
The three Su brothers couldn't stop laughing.
"When people hear that they can make money, they are all very excited. Why do they avoid making money when they come to you?" Su An said with a smile.
Liu Dazhuang was helpless. "Who doesn't want to make money? But you have to be good enough. Like me, I haven't even been to a private school. I can only count the words I can recognize on my ten fingers. How can I do big things with you? I really can't do it."
"My eldest brother would rather go to the dock and carry sandbags, hahaha! Cousin, I'm more ambitious than him. I can run errands and stuff. If you think I can be of use, I'll use it. If not, forget it. I can't do anything big."
Shitou and Bangchui immediately clasped their hands together and begged for mercy.
Today they went to see their cousin's dock base. After getting to know the various types of jobs, they found that they could only move goods and carry sandbags.
Su An patted the shoulders of the four people one by one, without saying anything else, "Okay, all of you look so sad, today I just came out for a walk and get some fresh air. Bai Yu wants to get some information, so I'm taking you to the capital city."
The four big heads of the Liu family turned to the back at the same time. Bai Yu and the others were in the carriage at the back. The little girl over there was laughing. I don’t know what she was talking about, but she was laughing so happily.
He Luping is a girl. This time she was taken care of by her cousin and got to see the big city with her. She still has circles in her eyes.
"The city is the city. After the flood, the streets were washed clean. Unlike our village, after the water receded, the roads were littered with things. My mother even found most of the clothes that were washed away on the yellow mud road in the village. She is so good that she can even tell which bowl buried in the mud is ours!"
Wheat ears, "...Poof!"
Bing'er, "Hahaha! Ping'er, your mother is so funny!"
"My mother is very stingy. No one else can take anything from our house. I later found out that she marked all our bowls and baskets. You haven't seen the chickens and ducks my family used to raise. They always had a tuft of feather missing from their necks and buttocks. My mother said that this way they wouldn't be confused with other chickens and ducks. No one could take a single feather from our chickens."
Now even Tianbao couldn't help laughing.
Bai Yu was driving the carriage. He laughed so hard that he almost fell down and the carriage almost fell into the ditch.
"Cousin, how long can you stay this time? Can you stay a little longer?" He Luping leaned against her cousin affectionately, a little expectant, with a hint of shyness in her eyes. "I'm getting married in two months. The date has been set long ago... Once the wedding is decided on, it can't be changed easily. I hope my cousin can see me off."
