Even if it's not the best, it's still an ox. It's definitely comparable to a strong laborer. How come she missed out on such a good opportunity?
A strong smell of vinegar hit her face, and Jiang Nuan subconsciously took two steps back. She immediately said, "Sixth sister-in-law's cabbage weighs 232 jin. Here's the money. Count it."
The woman took the money, counted it, and looked at Jiang Nuan with delight. "Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law. The money is just right. The men in the family haven't eaten meat for a month. This is a good opportunity to improve our meals. I'll be going now."
"Sixth sister-in-law is busy, so I won't keep you any longer," Jiang Nuan said with a smile as she saw her off.
The women in the courtyard were amazed by what they saw.
It seems that things are about to change in Huangjiakou.
The story of Widow Jiang turning over a new leaf sounds like a fantasy, but it actually happened right before our eyes.
Despite their myriad thoughts, these people didn't reveal them for the sake of the money.
However, the act of selling vegetables seemed a bit more hurried.
With such a significant discovery, they were eager to share their findings.
After seeing everyone off, Jiang Nuan finally had a chance to rest.
Sister-in-law Huang brought over a bowl of water, saying, "Yaya, drink some water to soothe your throat."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Jiang Nuan smiled gratefully, "I'm so grateful for your help today."
“What are you talking about? Why are we family members so particular about these things?” Aunt Huang waved her hand. “After you finish drinking the water, lie down and rest in bed. You’re not in good health, don’t overwork yourself and get sick.”
“Sister-in-law,” Jiang Nuan said helplessly, “I’m fine.”
She said several times that her health had improved a lot, but her parents and sister-in-law still treated her like a porcelain doll.
It's clearly the truth, so why doesn't anyone believe it?
"Yes, yes, yes," Sister-in-law Huang replied perfunctorily, "You should rest even if you have nothing to do."
He gave a few more instructions, and seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly left.
The cabbages that were delivered were all cleaned. Jiang Nuan was also eager to make money, so the whole family worked until mid-term to pack all the cabbages into jars.
At Huang Ye's house, Huang Ye's wife hugged Huang Ye and cried bitterly before choking back tears as she recounted what had happened during the day.
"Thanks to my clansmen, otherwise, I really don't know if I could have survived."
The moment she saw Huang Ye collapse on the bed, she felt like the sky had fallen. She had already decided that if her husband couldn't make it, she would follow him.
Looking back, I suddenly feel a sense of lingering fear.
Even though life is tough, she still wants to live well.
"When things get a little better in a few days, we'll go door to door kowtowing," Huang Ye sighed softly, his expression complicated.
He thought the village had completely abandoned the two of them, but now it seems that the clansmen still care about blood ties.
He seemed to have gone astray in the past.
“Oh, right,” Huang Ye’s wife said, biting her lip, “Da Chuan just gave me over three hundred coins for selling cabbages, and I accepted it.”
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be accepted.
If it weren't for their help, my husband's situation would be uncertain.
However, the family ran out of food;
The head of the household needs to recover from an illness;
We also need to buy seeds for spring planting...
One thing after another weighed on her, making it hard to breathe. Even though she knew it was against her conscience, she still pocketed the money.
Huang Ye's face darkened, and he wanted to get angry, but in the end he remained silent.
After a long while, he hugged his wife and gently comforted her, "It's alright, we'll pay it back slowly in the future."
At this moment, Huang Ye shed her previous decadence and sorrow, her eyes burning with a fierce light, and a soaring fighting spirit rose within her.
No matter what, he couldn't be a useless person. Even if he lost his legs, he would support his family with his hands.
