Liang Shuyan glanced at Zhao Heng: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pack up your stall and get ready to go home!"
Zhao Heng pointed at Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu and said, "What's wrong? Do you think you don't have any sons to boss around anymore? Are you really going to treat me like a son?"
"Let me tell you, if you come to my house, you have to work. If you don't work for a day, you won't get any food, and you'll have to sleep with Big Black at night!"
Zhao Heng, of course, had no idea what the "Big Black" Liang Shuyan was talking about was. He snorted coldly, "As long as someone can keep me company! I don't mind whether it's Big Black or Big White!"
Jin Dashan covered his mouth and chuckled, then whispered something in his ear.
Zhao Heng's eyes widened immediately: "What? You, you poisonous woman!"
Liang Shuyan remained silent, and Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu dared not move. Helpless, Zhao Heng had no choice but to huff and puff as he loaded some things onto the donkey cart.
Aside from Jin Erniu, who was driving the cart, Jin Dashan, Zhang Shi, Liang Shuyan, and some wooden buckets and small wooden tables, the donkey cart couldn't hold them all.
"We'll ride in the cart, and you can run. Anyway, the donkey cart is slow!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng's face turned green: "What? You ran all the way to Qingfeng Town, and... are your legs still there?"
I was originally planning to talk back to Liang Shuyan, but now it seems that if I don't speak properly, I might really have to run away from here to Qingfeng Town.
"Auntie, auntie, could you let me squeeze in? My legs are going to break from running all the way to Qingfeng Town!"
Seeing this, Jin Dashan gently tugged at Liang Shuyan: "Mother, why don't we let Zhao Heng squeeze in with us? Although he drugged me back then, he was still very kind to me before!"
Liang Shuyan didn't want to dawdle any longer. She glanced at Zhao Heng and nodded, "Okay, then we'll listen to Dashan today and reluctantly let you sit here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng quickly got into the car and squeezed next to Jin Dashan.
Daling Village, Jin Family Courtyard.
The barking of Dahei could be heard from afar. Dahei was the only dog in the village, and when people heard it barking, they knew it was Liang Shuyan's Dahei.
It was getting late, and smoke was starting to rise from the chimneys of every house in the village.
Liu has been feeling dizzy these past two days, as if she has endless sleep.
The old lady sat in the courtyard with a needle and thread in her hand, and only went inside when the light became dim.
When Liu checked the time, it was getting dark, and her mother hadn't returned yet. She quickly washed her face and went to the kitchen to cook.
It was getting late, so she hurriedly scooped up some rice, washed it, and steamed it. Then she washed a piece of tofu, cut it into cubes, and prepared to make a tofu soup.
There was still a piece of meat in the bowl. She took it out, sliced it thinly, placed it in the pot, arranged it properly, added seasonings, and started steaming it.
A fragrant aroma wafted from the courtyard. Niu Niu toddled in with her short legs and saw Liu Shi busy at work, so she brought over a small stool: "Second Sister-in-law, Niu Niu will help you start the fire."
Liu glanced at Niu Niu and said, "Yes, our Niu Niu is the most sensible."
Jin Sanwang was feeding the chickens and dogs, chopping wood, Jin Dashan was at school, and Jin Erniu was doing business with his mother. Only Jin Sanwang was left at home, carrying water, chopping wood, and doing all the odd jobs in the fields.
Sanwang didn't complain. After finishing the work in the fields, he started busying himself with household chores.
Liang Shuyan spent the whole day running around, and when she calculated it, she only made a little money from selling vegetable pancakes. She basically gave away the cold noodles, and didn't buy anything else.
Upon reaching the door, he quickly instructed Jin Dashan and Jin Erniu: "Quickly, unload everything from the donkey cart!"
"Zhao Heng, you're going to wash all these wooden buckets and bowls and chopsticks clean and hang them out to dry in the yard!"
Zhao Heng looked at the filthy things and waved his hand: "I'm not good at this kind of rough work. I won't do it. You have a daughter-in-law, right? Let your second daughter-in-law do it. Let me tell you, I'm the county magistrate's son!"
This Zhao Heng always tries to intimidate her by using his status as the son of a county magistrate.
"We don't have the concept of a county magistrate's son in our family. Think it over carefully. If you want to eat, you have to work. If you don't want to eat, it's up to you! Big Black, you'll have someone to keep you company tonight!"
Upon hearing Liang Shuyan's voice, the big black dog pounced on Zhao Heng, who cried out in terror, "Help! You, you vicious woman, you've been keeping a wolf at home!"
Zhao Heng was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Jin Dashan stepped forward and shouted, "You've scared someone! Get out of the way!"
Dahei then got off Zhao Heng, who was so frightened he almost lost his mind.
“Mother, Zhao Heng has never seen Dahei before. You actually let Dahei scare him. Look how frightened Zhao Heng is!” Jin Dashan, a bright-hearted man, helped Zhao Heng to the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room.
Liu came out curiously, her eyes fixed on her mother-in-law: "Mother, why are you back so late? And, and there's someone else back?"
"Yes, he'll be living with us from now on. We'll let him do any chores around the house. He's studying with your older brother, and he's also the county magistrate's son!"
Madam Liu stared in astonishment, her eyes wide: "Mother, you... you said he's the magistrate's son? That big black dog scared him like this! What if the magistrate comes looking for us? Will our whole family be doomed?"
"Alright, hurry up and cook, I'm starving!"
Seeing her mother-in-law's reluctant expression, Liu quickly said, "Mother, please wash your face. I'll clean up the dishes right away. We're getting ready to eat."
Jin Erniu brought out the wooden bucket and some bowls and chopsticks. Zhang prepared a basin of water and was about to wash them when Liang Shuyan said, "Eldest daughter, soak them there first, sprinkle some coarse salt, and wash them tomorrow. Now tidy up and come eat!"
The Jin family usually eats in the courtyard, but today it was late and the courtyard was dimly lit, so they had to sit in the kitchen, light an oil lamp, and begin their meal.
The old lady was the core of the family. She sat in the middle chair and said, "Where's the second son's wife? Why are you always sleeping? Are you pregnant?"
Jin Erniu's eyes drifted over: "Grandma, just because you like to sleep doesn't mean you're pregnant. Don't talk nonsense!"
"Why are you always sleeping at home? We've gone out to earn money, and all you do at home is sleep!" Jin Erniu couldn't save face for a moment, so he scolded Liu Shi.
Liang Shuyan glanced at Liu Shi and saw that she looked extremely tired. She was a little worried. This daughter-in-law was not like this usually. Wasn't she usually very talkative? Why did she look like a wilted eggplant today?
The steamed meat was sprinkled with chopped green onions, making it look very appetizing. Jin Erniu picked up a piece with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and grease dripped from his lips. Liu Shi only glanced at it, then covered her mouth and ran out, squatting in the corner and vomiting for a while.
"Oh dear, it seems the second son's wife is really pregnant?"
