That's exactly what her mother-in-law was saying. Since she knew she couldn't make her own decisions about her marriage, why did she go and provoke that widow? She was already pitiful enough to lose her husband at such a young age, and he was just adding insult to injury to her already unfortunate fate.
Qiangzi's second uncle is a complete scoundrel! He deserves to go crazy!
"It's just a pity for Qiangzi and his siblings. With such a crazy uncle and second uncle, it's not easy for them to get married. Which family isn't afraid of their daughter-in-law becoming crazy, or their daughter marrying a crazy person? They're even more afraid of their child being born crazy."
Liu's brows furrowed deeply, indicating that she was genuinely worried about the children.
But Yue Jiuyue couldn't do anything about it. She just wanted to find out indirectly whether there was a problem with the water in Xishan Village, and then she happened to hear some gossip.
While Liu was still looking down on Uncle Qiangzi for Yue Jiuyue's novel ideas, she couldn't help but repeat them to her eldest son over and over again, making Lin Chaodong, who had just returned from Xishan Village, wish he could kill himself in repentance.
Yue Jiuyue had no intention of rescuing her adopted son. After eating and drinking her fill, she lay down on the bed and leaned against the wall, feeling drowsy.
Outside, there were sounds of the third and fourth sons clearing away the dishes, Liu Shi muttering to herself, the eldest son occasionally denying things, and Xiao Man'er playing house.
These are the sounds of life, and they are part of her life.
She has been in this world for ten months now, and she has gradually adapted to her current identity, being an unqualified mother and grandmother, and soon she will be leading her family to live a good life.
The life of a landlady must be a good one; just thinking about it makes me happy, I could even wake up laughing in my dreams.
(︶.?︶?)
Six coins for a bucket of water was the final result of three days of hard bargaining by Village Chief Lin.
If it weren't for the fact that crops wait for no one, Village Chief Lin would have really wanted to keep haggling over the price.
Even so, many families in the village still couldn't afford water, so he had no choice but to approach Yue Jiuyue under immense pressure.
"Chao Dongniang, I came to ask if you still want to buy that hilltop?"
The village chief, a grown man, suddenly acted like a timid wife, which made Yue Jiuyue and the others very uncomfortable.
"Okay. I'll buy it."
Despite her discomfort, Yue Jiuyue still agreed.
"Really?!"
Village Chief Lin sighed in disarray, then stammered for a long time.
"Um, I... I wanted to ask you, since you're buying the mountain, what will happen in the future... what will happen..."
The village chief's wife, who had come with him, couldn't stand her husband's dawdling any longer. She slapped her thigh and blurted out:
“Chao Dong’s mother, it’s like this, my husband just wants to ask you if you really want to buy this mountain. He’s afraid that you might not want it later, and the village doesn’t have enough money to buy it back.”
As for the remaining sentence, "I'm afraid the village won't pay to buy it back, and if that offends you, he'll lose his position as village chief," she wisely refrained from saying it.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I bought it so that my family can have more land. We farmers rely on land, right? Who doesn't want to buy more land when they have extra money? Don't worry, I definitely won't let the village buy it back. Maybe I'll even buy a hill in the future."
Yue Jiuyue hadn't even conquered her first mountain peak yet, and she was already thinking about buying a second one.
