They really wanted to shower Yang Moran with all the good things.
It's raining, the sun is out.
Their village escaped the flood, etc...
"I..." Old Lady Yang looked at the clan leader's dark face and then at Mo Yan, "Yes, I misspoke just now. My baby didn't say anything; it was just my own assumption."
Guabao just woke up, so tell them not to blame that brat Xiaocao. Guabao is so well-behaved and cute; it's all Moyan and the others' fault.
"Really?" Mo Yan smiled. "I don't believe it, but since you've already compensated us, we naturally won't hold a grudge. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. If you see us, please go around us, or I'll feel disgusted!"
Mo Yan asked everyone to help carry the things to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Yan's dowry included a table, cabinets, wooden buckets, wooden basins, pots and pans, and finally a bed. The furniture was originally made by the village carpenter, but she directly ordered everyone to dismantle it.
Mo Yan was holding her daughter, while the two children carried their clothes and other belongings.
Mo Yan was generous; she took out the compensation money and had the two children buy meat, rice, and flour, and then asked the village aunties to cook a big pot of food for them.
Everyone felt sorry for the mother and her three children, who had nothing. Everyone ate half a bowl and said they were full.
Everyone knows that old lady Yang didn't distribute any grain to them. Now the autumn harvest is almost here, and they'll be fine once that's over.
Mo Yan hadn't considered dividing the land, but the original owner still had two acres of land, which her father had bought. Mo Yan was to harvest the grain from that land herself.
This was also written in the divorce agreement. Old Mrs. Yang was originally unwilling, but it was part of the dowry, so she had no choice.
After the villagers helped with everything, they even washed the dishes and chopsticks. Now it's just the mother and her three children left, and there's still meat stewed with cabbage and noodles in the pot.
Dahua and Xiaohua were very well-behaved. While everyone was eating, although they wanted to eat and unconsciously swallowed their saliva, they remembered their mother's words. Their mother said that the guests should eat first, and they could not touch their chopsticks until the guests had eaten.
Now that the guests have left, Mo Yan served them some food.
"Mother, where are you and my sister?"
The two children were still thinking about their mother and younger sister.
Mo Yan glanced at the girl on the bed; she was still asleep.
"You all eat quickly, and Mom will eat too. Everyone should eat their fill. From now on, we'll live a good life as a family. My sister isn't feeling well, so she can't eat anything too oily. I'll make her some rice porridge."
The two children were skin and bones, looking like two bamboo poles at first glance, a result of malnutrition and lack of food in the past.
Although everyone was short of food, Old Lady Yang was really biased. Yang Erbao was okay, as he could eat some dry food, but the original owner and her children could only drink soup and didn't have any rice at all. Even wild vegetable dumplings were the last thing to reach them.
They would think that rice water is useless, "Mom, what's the use of rice water? It doesn't fill you up. My sister is sick, so she should eat more good food."
"Mom, don't worry, my brother and I will work hard from now on, and we'll definitely be able to take good care of our little sister."
Although everyone says that Guai Bao is good and that Guai Bao is a lucky charm, Xiao Cao is their little sister. They love Xiao Cao the most.
Seeing the two children caring for their younger sister, Mo Yan was naturally happy. "Don't worry, the rice soup Mom makes will definitely have rice in it. Our family only has two acres of land in front of the house, so we're not busy. Tomorrow we'll tidy up the roof, and you two can bring back some vegetables and wild greens."
Don't go too far away as it's not safe. You can also bring some small stones and pave our yard.
After I finish chores at home, I'll take you two to gather herbs to earn money, then I'll send you both to school. When you come back, you can teach your younger sister and mother.
In this era, girls cannot attend school; they can learn at home...
The original owner's father also taught her some basic medical skills so that she could read medical books.
Going to school is expensive. When they heard this, their eyes lit up with longing. But they quickly realized that their family didn't have much money, so even if they wanted to go, it wouldn't matter. Dahua thought for a moment and then spoke up.
"Mom, we don't want to study. We want to learn a skill so we can earn money."
Xiao Hua nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right. Although scholars are very capable and respected by everyone, their family doesn't have any money. It's better to learn something so they can earn more money in the future."
"Mom, I also want to work hard and earn money for you and my sister to spend. Our little grass also needs to be dressed up beautifully."
No wonder the original owner turned evil. Her children were well-behaved and sensible, so why couldn't they compare to those others? Why couldn't they go to school?
In the original storyline, Guai Bao begged Grandma Wang to send her brothers to school, but Da Hua and Xiao Hua refused, saying it was too expensive and that they could just stay home and farm. She also told the children that it was because the original owner was useless that she wouldn't let them go to school.
The darling of the group even pretended to say that it was okay, as long as they listened to her, the family could send them to school when they made money in the future.
Why were her brothers allowed to go before? The original owner felt it was unfair. They did a lot of housework, and she even had to dig for medicinal herbs to earn money. Why couldn't her children go to school?
“We can earn money if we don’t have any. Studying can help us understand things and learn a lot of knowledge. We can also learn to read so that we won’t be cheated in the future. Your mother can only read the medical books, which is not enough. You go and learn and then teach me and your sister.”
If our whole family works together, there's no reason why we shouldn't have a good life, you know?
Dahua and Xiaohua nodded after hearing their mother's words. "Yes, Mother, your sons heard you."
"Hurry up and eat, we still have to clean up afterwards."
The house hasn't been lived in for a long time, so I need to burn some mugwort to fumigate it, clean it, and also show it to my daughter.
They also brought over all the herbs that the original owner had gathered. The medicine has already been brewed and can be served now.
Mo Yan brought the medicine over, and the little girl had just opened her eyes. Seeing everything unfamiliar around her, she was a little scared. But when she saw her mother, tears fell from her eyes. "Mother, I didn't push her."
Before Xiaocao fainted, the old lady had already scolded Xiaocao and was even thinking of hitting her. It was the original owner who rushed over and protected her daughter in her arms.
"Mother knows, Mother believes in you."
"Are you feeling unwell? Quickly take your medicine and have some porridge, okay? Look, your brothers are all here. Don't be afraid, we'll all be with you."
Little Grass then looked around. This wasn't home, and she was puzzled. "Mother, where is this? Why are we here?"
Xiao Cao's voice was hoarse; she had caught a cold after falling into the river, and even her throat felt burning and painful.
Da Hua and Xiao Hua had already eaten and rushed over to see their younger sister. "Little sister, it's so good that you're awake! This is Grandpa's house, don't you remember?"
Little Grass then remembered, oh, this is the thatched house at the foot of the mountain, and her mother said it was her and her grandfather's home.
"Oh, Mommy, how did we get here?"
The little grass felt dizzy and very uncomfortable.
