"Zhiqiu, I don't want to see Mom suffer this, but you know, your second sister-in-law and I have been weaving bamboo for half our lives, and the little money we earned was used to support Huang Zhao and Huang Wen's studies.

Huang Zhao is already in his early 20s and doesn't even have a partner, all because he has no money.

Huang Wen will soon be a senior in high school, and he still has a long way to go before he can pay his tuition. Your second sister-in-law and I just don’t have the money.”

"Second brother, can you borrow some from my second sister-in-law's family?"

Peng Fang curled her lips secretly and said with a fake smile, "Little sister, I can shamelessly ask my parents for thirty or fifty yuan, but this little money can't make up for my mother's legs."

"Sister-in-law, can you lend me a little more? A hundred bucks would be best. The doctor said that if I want to cure my mom's leg, it will cost a conservative 500 bucks. I'll find someone else to think of a solution for the rest."

"Borrow more?"

Peng Fang put down his chopsticks with a snap and retorted with a fake smile: "You say it so easily. You just ask to borrow a hundred. We are all poor people who work hard in the land. How can we have so much spare money to lend to outsiders?"

Huang Jianguo also tried to persuade Huang Zhiqiu to give up the idea. "Zhiqiu, I think your mother is already so old, how many years can she live? Even if her leg is cured, what will happen? You'd better not bother yourself and just leave it to fate."

No matter how much Huang Zhiqiu talked, Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang maintained the same attitude.

I don't have any money, so there's no point in lending me money.

After coming out of Huang Jianguo's house, seeing Huang Zhiqiu very depressed, Yun Mo couldn't help but speak out to comfort him.

"Mom, don't worry too much. I will definitely find a way to cure grandma's leg."

Huang Zhiqiu was slightly comforted by her daughter's understanding and filial piety. She managed to cheer herself up and said, "Let's go and visit your third uncle's house."

"good."

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but the direction they were walking in was getting farther and farther away from the village. Yun Mo was a little panicked.

"Mom, where does my third uncle live?"

"In town."

What? Yun Mo's head was buzzing as if someone had hit her with a stick. "Mom, are we going to walk to town?"

Huang Zhiqiu looked at her strangely, "How do you want to get there if you don't walk?"

“…”

Yun Mo was about to cry, "It's 20 miles. How long will it take to walk there?"

"If you walk faster, you can get there in 2 and a half hours."

Seeing that Huang Zhiqiu was serious, Yun Mo almost fainted on the spot.

"Is there no other way to get to town except walking? Like taking a motorcycle or something."

Looking at his daughter's fair little face being reddened by the sun, Huang Zhiqiu felt a little guilty and distressed.

She was just about to comfort her daughter when she heard the roar of a motorcycle behind her.

The mother and daughter looked back at the same time.

Coincidentally, the person riding the motorcycle was Chen Bin, who sent Yun Mo back to the village yesterday.

Chen Bin also recognized the mother and daughter. He slowly stopped the car in front of them and greeted them with a smile.

"Sister Qiu, where are you going?"

Huang Zhiqiu: "Go visit relatives."

Yun Mo: "Go to town."

Hearing the mother and daughter's answer, Chen Bin immediately invited them to get in the car, "Come on, I'll give you a ride, I also have to go to town to do some work."

Huang Zhiqiu refused subconsciously: "I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary. Go ahead and get busy."

"Oh, it's okay. It's still a good trip even if it's empty. Yesterday, Mr. Huang gave me two baskets, and I didn't even pay for them. So I'll take them as the fare. Come on up."

When I gave you a basket as payment for the taxi yesterday, you were not happy about it, but now you are very attentive.

Yun Mo silently complained in her heart. Although she could see that this Chen had some feelings towards her own mother, Yun Mo could no longer care about being reserved. If she really had to walk the 20 miles to the town, her legs would be crippled.

"Mom, let's take a bus to town and take care of Brother Chen's business."

Yun Mo originally wanted to call him uncle, but that would make Chen Bin the same generation as Huang Zhiqiu, so she changed her words and called him brother, which made Chen Bin a generation younger than Huang Zhiqiu.

Huang Zhiqiu was a little hesitant.

But on the other hand, as a single mother, she didn't want to have too much contact with an older bachelor like Chen Bin, for fear of rumors.

Yun Mo is a soul from the 21st century and cannot understand Huang Zhiqiu's desire to avoid suspicion. She begged in a soft voice and finally made Huang Zhiqiu give in.

Riding in a car is much easier than walking, and even the bumps don’t seem so unbearable to Yun Mo.

In less than half an hour, the mother and daughter arrived in town.

Under Huang Zhiqiu's repeated insistence, Chen Bin finally only symbolically charged two yuan for gas.

"Sister Qiu, I usually pick up jobs near the station. If you need a car when you go back, come find me."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Why are you being so polite? We are from the same village, and we should take care of each other."

After Chen Bin rode away on his motorcycle, Yun Mo asked casually, "Is he from our village too?"

"No, he lives in the upper village, and our place is the lower village."

"What's his name?"

"Chen Bin."

"Is he married?"

"not yet."

"How old is he this year? Why isn't he married yet?"

"I'm not sure, probably less than 30."

Yun Mo was a little surprised when she learned Chen Bin's real age.

Maybe it was due to the wind and sun, Chen Bin looked a little old. She thought he was in his 30s, but it turned out he was not even 30 yet.

This era was not as open as later generations, and sister-brother relationships were still subject to secular tests. Moreover, Huang Zhiqiu was 37 years old, much older than Chen Bin.

Thinking of this, Yun Mo couldn't help but look at her mother carefully.

Although she is middle-aged, her skin is fair and smooth, without a single wrinkle or ugly sun spots or freckles. Her figure is well-proportioned and slender under her flowered shirt. When the two of them walk together, they don't look like mother and daughter at all, but rather like sisters.

No wonder Chen Bin is so attentive to his mother.

—

The mother and daughter walked to the small courtyard of Huang Jianye's house and found that the gate was locked. Obviously, no one was at home.

"Your third uncle should be at work. Let's go to the winery to find him."

"good."

When they arrived at the door of the winery, Huang Zhiqiu asked someone to help call Huang Jianye out.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Huang Jianye wiped his face and neck with a sweat towel while looking at Yun Mo, "Who is this?"

"This is Momo. She came to see me from Jiang City. She just arrived yesterday. Momo, call me Third Uncle."

"Third uncle."

"Um."

Huang Jianye naturally knew that Huang Yao was not Huang Zhiqiu's biological daughter. After Huang Yao ran away, he asked someone to look for her, but no one was found.

Maybe because it was their first meeting, Huang Jianye's attitude towards Yun Mo was not very warm.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

Huang Zhiqiu handed over the candy in his hand, "Just bring Momo here to recognize people. This is the candy that Momo bought. You can take it back and give it to Huang Ying and Huang Jin."

"Okay, I won't be polite then."
