Seeing that her mother had indeed made this plan, Xia Xueqin became even more anxious.
"Mom, you are already this old, why can't you keep calm?
Listen to me, it will take five months at most and three months at least. When I get what I want, it won’t be too late for you to divorce me.
Now we just have to endure. I tell you, if I hook up with a man like that, let alone opening a shop, even if you want to open a shop or buy a farm in the capital, it will be easy."
"What?
You, do you already have a goal?
Also, aren’t you counting on Yunxuan to find you a wealthy in-law?
You talk as if you already know the kind of person you should marry.
You tried every possible means to make me marry Yunchang. What exactly do you want to get?
Why have I been confused by you?
Also, there is nothing that we can't talk about between mother and daughter, why are you hiding it from me?"
The more Xia Rong listened, the more confused she became. She felt that her daughter had changed since Chaoge came back.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about anything, just endure it.
After it's done, you can divorce or not, it's all up to you.
Don't even think about getting a divorce and getting money.
Maybe Chaoge has some silver coins, but do you think Chaoge will use them to compensate you?
With Yunchang's poor appearance, how much silver do you think he can give you?
Haha, so now is not the time to leave."
"But I want to open a shop now. I don't want to live a day without money.
No matter how many taels of silver Yunchang gives me, I swear, as long as I get even one tael of silver, I can make the business a success. "
Xia Rong was like a willful child. No matter what Xia Xueqin said, she still wanted to follow her heart.
In the end, the mother and daughter reached an agreement. Xia Rong gave in and gave Xia Xueqin three months to get what she wanted. When the three-month deadline was up, she would divorce regardless of whether she succeeded or not.
After monitoring for a long time, Chaoge knew the true colors of the mother and daughter, but he didn't know what Xia Xueqin was trying to get.
Even if she wants to get close to a rich man, what does it have to do with her?
"Big sister!"
Yun Chaoyu's joyful voice was heard outside the yard, and Chaoge put away his thoughts and went out to greet her.
He took the heavy basket from her back and lovingly cleaned the messy hair on her forehead: "I boiled some hot water and put it in the bucket. You must be sweating all over after working in the field so early in the morning.
You and Dad should go back home and wash up, then come out to eat. After dinner, we will go to town together. I have to buy Grandpa's medicine."
When Yun Chaoyu heard that she could go to the town with Chaoge, her eyes lit up.
She often went to the town and had been to the county town. She always went there secretly disguised as a man, but she did not go to the market or go shopping, but to find work.
"Okay, it's good to have my elder sister here.
When you come back tired, there are hot meals to eat and hot water for bathing. I will go bathe first and it will be done soon. "
Chaoge didn't help to fetch water either. The wooden barrel was not light and was filled with water. After all, she was pregnant and had to be cautious.
Yunchang, who was standing by, almost had his eyes narrowed with smile. In the past, when he and Chaoyu came back from work, not only would the stove be cold, but they would also have to light the fire and cook for themselves.
The two of them in the family are really like ancestors.
Not to mention that even after he married Xia Rong, he was still cold and indifferent to her. He could never love such a woman.
People are all about each other. Even if they are together by accident, Yunchang feels that he is doing his duty to make money to support them, but they should also fulfill their responsibilities as wives and daughters.
For several years, apart from washing their own clothes, they couldn't even help with the broom in the yard when it fell over.
She would often buy delicious food for herself, and as a husband, she wouldn't even see any food residue, let alone be nice to her daughter.
So he was unwilling to hand over the money to such a person, not to mention that he was thinking of using the money to redeem his daughter and find his son in the future.
Yunchang saw through Xia Rong's situation very clearly, so even if Chaoge said something about Xia Rong, he felt that he didn't have the confidence to stand up and defend her from the perspective of a husband.
Who doesn’t want a harmonious family and a prosperous life?
He also hoped that their family would be like his elder and second brother's families, harmonious and without quarrels.
The whole family works towards a common goal instead of harboring selfish motives.
The mother and daughter hid in the house and talked for a while. Without waiting for Chaoge to prepare hot water for breakfast, they went out carrying a backpack, a basket and a small hoe.
Chaoge thought they had a change of heart and were going to work in the fields. At the dinner table, he casually asked, "Didn't your wife bring her daughter to the fields to look for you?
Why are you the only ones back?"
Yunchang was immersed in his own happy world while eating the breakfast made by his daughter, but was suddenly stunned by Chaoge's words!
Not to mention going to the fields to find him, even during the busy farming season, when he and Chaoyu went to the fields to work for a day, they would bring their own water and dry food, and the mother and daughter would never come to take a look.
Isn't it just picking some corn? Is it possible for them to go?
“No.”
“I saw them go up the side hill, mother and daughter, one in front and one behind.
They were the most colorfully dressed in the whole village, and I saw them from a distance."
Yun Chaoyu was carelessly peeling an egg. There was an egg in her hand, which she peeled perfectly.
After she finished speaking, she handed the egg directly to Chaoge's mouth.
"Eat it, idiot."
"I peeled them for you, big sister. Our family hasn't eaten eggs for a long time, maybe several years. Big sister, did you buy these eggs in the village?
We will raise some chickens in the future. My eldest sister will stay at home to feed the chickens, and my father and I will go out to earn money to support the family."
Chaoge: “…”
Although his sister had good intentions, Chaoge did not want her to shoulder the burden of supporting the family on him.
"Silly boy, supporting the family is my and my dad's job. I told you last night, and you forgot it the moment you turned around?
You are responsible for growing taller, so eat more eggs!
One is enough for big sister, you eat three!
These eggs were bought from the village. I bought a lot. We can buy more after we finish eating them."
"Ah, your sister has indeed suffered a lot, and it's also because of your father's uselessness. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't let you live a good life. He also ruined a good family like this."
Yun Chang's words were filled with deep guilt and self-blame.
Chaoge could understand some of his sadness. Even in modern times, people at the bottom of society experienced all kinds of misfortunes and some did not have enough food to eat. What about people at the bottom of the society in this era?
There was no one to help, no one to rely on, and they had to dig for food in the fields with their own hands. After a year of hard work, the whole family not only did not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, they could not even afford to get sick.
