This year, Yue Jiuyue's family added two more silkworm rearing rooms. Since this was the first time Yue Jiuyue's family had raised silkworms, and there weren't many mulberry trees planted on the mountain, Yue Jiuyue only used a few maids and servants from her household, and was guided by several elderly women from the village who had experience in raising silkworms.
Yue Jiuyue wanted to see if the village could develop the silkworm breeding business. Not only would the village have an extra source of income, but if it really succeeded, she also wanted to study the ecological agricultural model of the mulberry-fish pond.
She had only seen it in books when she was in school, and had never seen a real version, so she thought she would try to figure it out herself.
There's nothing she can do; she's just too idle.
She used to long for this kind of carefree life, where she wouldn't have to worry about anything, would have money and a house, plenty of food and drink, could sleep until she naturally woke up, and wouldn't have to work. She thought she would never be bored, and that she would be happy even if she lived like that for the rest of her life.
Now she does have it, but she won't be happy as she once thought.
Yue Jiuyue knew that this was because she lived in ancient times, where there were very few entertainment options, and even the most basic mobile phones were not available.
Otherwise, she definitely could have done it!
The truth is, in this ancient world without internet or electricity, she will have to live for at least several more years before she can be reincarnated. In fact, if nothing unexpected happens, she might not live to be a hundred years old; she'll probably live to be fifty or sixty. She'll have to endure this somewhat boring life for at least another one or two decades.
She is happy, and she doesn't deny that.
That's right, she needs to find something to do, partly to pass the time, and partly to create another source of income for the family.
As the head of the household, he can't just abandon everything.
Isn't it said that one generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade?
She is about to become the "predecessor" of the Lin family.
"Didn't you abandon my dad? Didn't you abandon me and my brother? Didn't you admire other people's children? Why did you come back?"
Yue Jiuyue, whose lips were turning purple and black from picking and eating mulberries, suddenly heard Xiaoman'er's shrill and unnatural scream. She immediately grabbed her skirt and ran towards the old courtyard.
As she ran, she shouted:
"You lot, hurry down and see who's bullying our little girl!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Several maids and servants who were picking mulberry leaves immediately put down their work and ran down the slope.
When Yue Jiuyue ran down the mountain, she saw two groups of people facing off in the small courtyard where her family used to live.
One group was a young girl, protected by a group of maids, servants, and old men.
The other group consisted of a young woman standing opposite Xiaoman'er.
"Who is it? How can someone be so heartless? They actually come to our door to bully my child. Do they think the Lin family is easy to bully?"
Yue Jiuyue walked towards Xiaoman'er, cursing and swearing, shielding her behind her, and then ordered the people opposite to be kicked out.
When she looked up at the other person, they seemed somewhat familiar. Then, with Zhou Liuya beside her, her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reminded her:
"Madam, the eldest young lady says that's her mother..."
Yue Jiuyue: \(◎o◎)／!
Little Man's mother?
Liu Shi?
Didn't she divorce Lin Chaodong and then become a wet nurse for someone else's baby girl?
Is it that the wet nurse can't continue being a wet nurse?
Or was it a sudden surge of maternal instinct that made her miss her two babies and want to come back for a visit?
Regardless of the reason, since Xiaoman'er is refusing, she can't let anyone in.
"Get out, Xiaoman doesn't want to see you."
After all, they had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, and their relationship was quite good at the time. In addition, she was the biological mother of two grandchildren. Who knew how these two children would treat Liu Shi in the future? She didn't want to be the bad guy, so Yue Jiuyue didn't speak ill of her and calmly told her to leave.
With reddened eyes, Liu looked behind Yue Jiuyue, but surrounded by a group of people, she couldn't see the small figure at all. She said dejectedly:
"Mother, I... I just missed the two children. I came here because the host family came to our house... for a spring outing, I..."
Liu choked up and couldn't continue.
Last year, when she divorced Lin Chaodong, she felt that she could fly freely in the sky from then on!
Ever since she witnessed the prosperity of the city, she felt that the entire Lin family was a burden to her, including Lin Chaodong and their two children.
That's why she was so decisive and efficient when it came to the divorce.
Before coming here after her divorce, she never felt that her choice was wrong. Who says that women have to stay at home to be good wives and mothers? She was determined to create a world of her own!
Although it's just a wet nurse position, it's a job that many people would fight tooth and nail for. And she'll be able to go to her husband's family with her mistress in the future. Who knows what her status will be then?
What if the young lady marries into an extraordinary family...
Therefore, she took even better care of the young lady than she had of her first child, Xiaoman'er.
She never imagined that one day she would return, and in this way.
Last winter, the young mistress of her family wanted to join in the fun at the home of some "Confucian scholar," but because it was too cold in winter and the road was difficult to travel, the young master felt sorry for her, so she didn't come.
This year, the young mistress insisted on coming along to see the legendary "eighth-rank Yu'an person" and the highly praised mountain scenery. In addition, since the young lady is now older and can be taken out for a trip without worry, she also came along.
She had also been in a carriage when she arrived, and was so busy taking care of her mistress that she hadn't noticed the way she had come.
Unexpectedly, she came back.
God knows how surprised she was!
What surprised her even more was that the old lady surrounded by those wealthy ladies was actually her former mother-in-law.
Eighth-rank Yu'an person?
Her former mother-in-law?
Mrs. Liu found it unbelievable!
She had heard many rumors about this legendary figure, but the world is so big, and there are many people with the same village name and surname. She never thought that this person was actually her former mother-in-law.
How is this possible?!
She was just an ordinary old woman from the countryside, how could she possibly be granted an official title by the emperor?
She spent two days mentally preparing herself and didn't dare to get close to her former mother-in-law. Even when she was with her mistress, she never rented out the gate of the courtyard where she lived, for fear of being recognized by the family.
However, she overheard her daughter Xiaoman'er's cheerful chatter and laughter, and couldn't resist following her out.
Tragically, not only did her daughter disown her, but her former mother-in-law didn't even recognize her immediately.
