She did indeed dig, and her back did hurt at the time; she didn't lie about it.
"Oh, then sister-in-law should rest quickly, back pain is really uncomfortable."
They were all farmers who toiled in the fields year-round, and everyone had their share of ailments. They just couldn't bear to spend the money, so they endured it.
"Yes, I definitely need to rest well. I still have to watch my third and fourth sons get married and have grandchildren, and I'm waiting for my second son to come back!"
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, those who had initially scoffed and thought Yue Jiuyue was being pretentious immediately quieted down.
Yes, Madam Lin needs to take good care of her health so she can wait for her second son to return. They also need to take good care of their health; only by living long can they wait for their younger brother, son, and grandson to come back!
As a result, some people suddenly slowed down, and some even left carrying their hoes shortly afterward.
What's going on with them?
"I don't know!"
The women muttered a few words to each other.
The remaining people didn't have time to care about others. They had been busy for half a day and hadn't seen even a single pearl. Instead of wasting their time chatting, they should have used their energy on the right path.
Yue Jiuyue was just out for a walk to avoid developing a "spare tire" around her stomach.
She wasn't actually afraid of being a little chubby. The original owner was 1.67 meters tall, which was considered quite tall in this era. However, when she first transmigrated, the original owner only weighed a little over 80 kilograms and was clearly skin and bones.
Now, she weighs less than 100 pounds. It's not that she intentionally controls her weight; it's that she simply can't gain weight.
However, even if she doesn't gain weight, she's afraid she'll become too lazy to move. Being evenly plump is fine, but the kind of plumpness that only affects the belly is something Yue Jiuyue really doesn't like.
So, when she's not working, she'll go out for a walk to avoid getting fat in her belly, lest others think she can't stand being alone and has gotten pregnant.
Sigh! She must have a lot of free time, to think about all this nonsense.
After strolling around for a while, Yue Jiuyue returned home. Although she noticed that there were half as many people digging for pearls in Nanhu Lake, she didn't pay any attention to it. She went straight into her house without any formalities, and didn't even invite anyone in to have a drink of water and rest.
This behavior made some people scoff, muttering that Yue Jiuyue was stingy and couldn't even bear to part with her saliva.
When the stingy Yue Jiuyue entered the house, she received Liu Shi's filial piety and was treated the same as Xiao Man'er with a bowl of steamed egg custard.
Children eat little and get hungry quickly, and their family has no shortage of food, so they can feed Xiaoman five or six meals a day. In addition to the three meals, they would either boil an egg or stew an egg custard, and Yue Jiuyue would always get a share.
This is also one of the reasons why Yue Jiuyue is afraid that she will have a swimming ring.
With that kind of eating habit, it's no wonder she's gaining weight!
"Eldest daughter-in-law, from now on, when you make extra meals for Xiaoman, you don't need to make one for me. I'm not hungry!"
Yue Jiuyue protested weakly, mainly because Liu Shi was genuinely kind to her, and she couldn't be forceful if she refused.
"Mother, you've suffered a lot these past years raising Man'er's father and his three brothers. Your health must be failing! You need to take good care of yourself so I can give you a big, healthy grandson. I'll need your help taking care of the baby then!"
These are good words. What mother-in-law doesn't hope that her daughter-in-law will give her a big, fat grandson?
But Yue Jiuyue was the exception.
