Since Liu Shi no longer had a long face and was even digging for medicinal herbs at a speed no slower than Lin Chaobei, Yue Jiuyue didn't chase her away and let her shine here.
Even two-year-old Xiaoman knows how to do chores. She obediently stays away from her mother and follows Yue Jiuyue to throw medicinal herbs into the basket.
Yue Jiuyue felt that the little girl was just playing around, and she had evidence.
At noon, when Lin Chaodong was carrying water home, he took his wife and daughter home with him.
It wasn't that Yue Jiuyue didn't want to go home, it was just that Lin Chaobei had gone mad with his cultivation and wasn't even coming home for meals. He tightened his belt and continued swinging his hoe.
Yue Jiuyue didn't want to go home either. The family of three was at home, with the husband working outside and the wife managing the household, and a child taking care of them. She wasn't going to be a third wheel!
Not long after, Lin Chaodong and his family of three returned. The man carried empty buckets and held the baby, while the woman carried a basket and looked at the father and son. They looked like a very loving family of three.
"Hey north, it's a deal. In the morning you dig for medicinal herbs and I'll fetch water, in the afternoon it's my turn to dig for medicinal herbs and you'll fetch water."
Lin Chaobei hadn't even swallowed the wild vegetable soup in his mouth when he heard the terrible news his older brother had brought him.
Carrying water?
What's so great about carrying water? You can wait in line for half a day.
It's better to dig for medicinal herbs. Although it's tiring, it's all money!
Lin Chaobei quickly finished the wild vegetable soup in the bowl in a few gulps, then grabbed Lin Chaodong's hand and started whining and acting spoiled.
"Big brother~ just let me dig for another half day, I promise, you can come all day tomorrow, okay?"
Lin Chaodong hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Anyway, the teacher said he could come all day tomorrow, so he could earn money tomorrow too!
"It's a deal, I'll come to dig for medicinal herbs tomorrow. You can't go back on your word tomorrow."
Lin Chaobei assured:
"Big brother, I promise I won't renege!"
Lin Chaodong carried the water buckets away, his back view radiating energy.
Yue Jiuyue struggled to eat a large bowl of wild vegetables. The vegetables were plentiful but the soup was little, a sign of the children's filial piety. However, she ate with great difficulty, her face wrinkled up as if she were smiling, like a withered flower.
After finally finishing her "meal," Yue Jiuyue was full of energy, picking and selling medicinal herbs at the same time, her mouth practically stretched to her ears with a grin.
But Xiaoman actually dozed off.
Sitting on a rough burlap sack spread on the ground, Xiaoman's little head bobbed up and down, which was quite amusing to watch.
"willow……"
Yue Jiuyue wanted to call her Liu Shi right away, but then felt that the name was too cold. After thinking for a long time, she remembered that Liu Shi's name was Da Hua.
The original owner always called her daughter-in-law Liu Shi. However, because Liu Shi never smiled and had only given birth to one daughter, Xiao Man, before having no further children, the original owner, being a native of ancient times with a preference for sons over daughters, found Liu Shi, her daughter-in-law, very displeasing.
Before this morning, Yue Jiuyue also disliked Liu Shi very much.
But starting this morning, she no longer disliked the term as before, which is why she felt that the title "Liu Shi" was too cold.
But isn't calling her "Big Flower" a bit too affectionate? If she actually called Liu Shi "Big Flower," wouldn't it scare people? Wouldn't that ruin her image?
Let's compromise then.
"Little Man's mother, Little Man is dozing off. Hurry up and take her home to sleep."
