Yue Jiuyue's home was built in a place far away from the village, which could truly be described as a desolate and wild place.
When Yue Jiuyue reminded her, the old lady remembered that her two previous episodes were both because she wanted to hit her daughter and was emotionally charged, which was similar to the current situation. She was afraid that she would have another episode, and she also knew that her daughter would not take her to see a doctor. She was also afraid that her daughter would abandon her. So she immediately became obedient.
Although grain is important, and the new grain seedlings are important too, none of them are as important as her life!
If she loses her life, then she loses everything. What use would she have for food or seedlings?
The old lady was panting heavily, her eyes still glaring fiercely at Yue Jiuyue, but she calmed down after a short while.
"Give me another half basket of wheat, or I'll risk having another epileptic seizure and turn your house upside down!"
Although the old lady was afraid of dying and dared not make a fuss anymore, she was also afraid that if she went home like this, her daughter-in-law would not let her into the house!
It was because she was blind back then that she thought Qin was weak and easy to manipulate. When she first married into their family, she was indeed an honest and obedient person. However, after giving birth to a son, she immediately became arrogant and even instigated her son to stop being on her side. Instead, she turned the tables and controlled her.
Ugh!
“Mother, we just harvested and sold our wheat. A few days ago, your little grandson was attacked by a wild boar while fetching water on the mountain. He almost didn’t make it back. Even after selling the wheat, we still owe our clan chief a lot of money. Mother, could you give us some money to help us out? Our family is really struggling!”
Yue Jiuyue complained while slapping her thigh, and then started sobbing, leaving the mother and daughter in the yard stunned.
Of course, she would never let go of the old lady with her other hand.
Not only was Madam Liu in the courtyard stunned, but even the old lady was taken aback.
How could her mother not know what kind of person her daughter was? She was a good-for-nothing who wouldn't say a word even if you hit her three times. She always kept her head down, and all you could see was the top of her messy hair. She had raised her for more than ten years, and she didn't even know what her daughter looked like when she grew up. She would take beatings and scoldings without flinching or talking back. She hadn't seen her for just one Dragon Boat Festival, and she had changed so much.
The old lady couldn't help but lean closer to take a look. Her daughter had a small face, big eyes, a high nose, a red little mouth, and eyebrows like willow leaves on a tree. She looked quite pretty.
She was dark-skinned and skinny; unless you looked closely, no one would notice how good-looking she was.
Suddenly, she felt that she had wasted her dowry of two bags of millet and sixty copper coins.
If she had known back then that her daughter was so beautiful, she could have married into a wealthy family in town, or become a concubine for a scholar. The dowry would have been much more than that, and she could have even gotten a free tutor for her eldest grandson!
Alas! What a pity!
Because of this sudden discovery, the old lady forgot to ask for more things. Every time she looked at her daughter's face, she regretted it a little more. She didn't even notice that her feet had started to follow her daughter forward uncontrollably.
Yue Jiuyue certainly wouldn't remind her, and didn't care what the old lady was regretting. While helping the old lady walk forward, she also had to carefully watch the road, for fear that the old lady might accidentally trip and fall, and then continue to go crazy when she came to her senses.
