When the old lady went in and saw it, she was furious. She thought they were a bunch of starving ghosts, eating so much.
When I went to the gift list again, I found that my aunt didn't have much to give, just over twenty copper coins and a few other things.
The old lady felt that she had really lost out today; the money she spent far exceeded what she received.
She was furious when she saw it, and clutched her chest for a long time.
The older woman's brother, who was helping her receive the gifts, saw the girl's condition and quickly asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Brother, I feel really uncomfortable right now. I get angry just looking at these things. These people are so stingy, only giving such a small amount of stuff. It's shameful."
The older brother was also quite helpless after hearing this. Well then, they were originally from the same village, but one of them lived on this side of the village and the other on the other side. They knew some things about the situation.
"That's because you're too stingy. When you went to other people's houses for banquets, you didn't give them enough gifts, so they gave you less in return."
The old lady's face darkened slightly. "I thought they couldn't possibly be that stingy, but who knew..." Who knew they were all shameless people.
"You, you're so shrewd, but everyone else isn't stupid. If you're stingy, how can others be generous?"
Okay, have you eaten anything? Go and get something to eat, then tidy up the house, return the tables and chairs we borrowed, and we'll be heading home soon.
These past few days have been very busy with things at home. Farmers never have a moment's rest; there's always work to do, no matter the season.
"No, I'm too angry to eat. I'll go eat right now."
The old lady returned to the kitchen and became even angrier when she saw the empty space. There was nothing inside. Fortunately, at that moment, her grandsons came over.
"Grandma, come to your sister's room right away. She left you some food. She knows there's nothing left outside."
The old lady was overjoyed to hear that you were invited. See, see, only her precious granddaughter is the best. She always thinks of her.
"Okay, I'm coming."
The old lady agreed and looked at her eldest brother, "Brother, don't leave yet, you and your nephews. I need your help with something."
Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle naturally agreed, nodding and saying, "Don't worry, we'll help you."
They stayed, and the old lady went to Guaibao's room.
Seeing the food that my sweetheart had left for me made me even happier. My sweetheart is so good to me.

Compared to the chaos here, Mo Yan and her friends seemed to be on a spring outing. After arriving in the mountains, they quickly found a lot of herbs. Mo Yan also discovered a kind of soil, a very sticky soil, which they could take back to smear the yard. Glutinous rice was too expensive, so it was quite precious.
Mo Yan packed a lot of herbs into her basket and asked Xiao Bai to find some precious medicinal herbs.
The children were puzzled. Why was their mother making this kind of mud? "Mom, we have plenty of mud at home. Why are you making it here?"
Before Mo Yan could speak, Xiao Hua interjected, "Big brother, I know this mud is really sticky. Mother probably wants to use it to mop the yard, right?"
Mo Yan gave her son an approving look, surprised that he was so clever and could think of this.
"That's right, that's what I was thinking. Using this and that sand should be able to create something really interesting."
The other two children looked at Xiaohua differently.
"Second brother, you're amazing!"
"Brother, you're so smart."
Xiaohua was so embarrassed by the praise that she didn't know what to say.
"No, I just think this soil is very sticky, similar to the glutinous rice they make. It's unlikely that we can use glutinous rice at home, but we can use this soil."
Upon hearing this, they exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes, this is great! Let's all help!"
Several children helped to fill the container with mud.
The mother and her two children had filled three baskets, so Mo Yan told them to stop.
"Go find some grass and vines, weave some baskets to carry the herbs, and I'll make you bamboo rice."
Mo Yan made bamboo rice for them. The bamboo tubes were simply chopped, and rice, along with pre-prepared meat and potatoes, were placed inside before roasting. In the end, the outside of the bamboo was black, but the inside was already cooked. More importantly, the inner membrane of the bamboo had adhered to the rice, so it could be taken out directly, forming a cylinder. With one bite, the aroma of bamboo spread throughout the mouth, along with a slightly charred flavor.
It tastes like cured pork and potatoes, it's so delicious! One for each person, and we were all full.
After eating, they went down the mountain together. Xiaobai brought back a pheasant, and they were overjoyed.
"Xiaobai, how are you so amazing?"
"Xiaobai, you're amazing!"
Xiao Bai: "..." I'm the Demon King!
They walked home together. Before heading back, Mo Yan glanced in a certain direction. There, over there, were those people.
As soon as I got home, I heard that something had happened to the old lady.
"Mo Yan, Mo Yan, hurry to your mother-in-law's house! They're fighting! It's so lively!"
When Mo Yan heard this, she didn't really react. They were all carrying things on their backs. The three children didn't have much in their baskets, but they were still very tired.
“We’re not going. It’s none of our business. If we were to go, people would just think we’re there to make a fool of ourselves. It’s pointless and unnecessary.”
Besides, even if they don't go, the villagers will definitely come and talk about it later.
To put it simply, most of the villagers are good people. Many know what kind of person the original owner was and what grievances she suffered. However, some people like to watch the drama unfold, enjoy gossip, and love a good show. They came here to talk to Mo Yan, perhaps just to see if Mo Yan would add fuel to the fire. If she did, then it would be even more fun.
So what exactly happened? It all started after the old lady finished her meal.
This dark-skinned girl, although she's ugly, she's good at talking, and she spoke to Yang Erbao.
"Husband, I know I'm not good-looking, but I can work. From now on, I'll take care of everything inside and outside the house. You can rest well now that you're back. We're family now, so don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Erbao thought to himself, "This wife is really good to me. Mo Yan and the others have never said that before."
"I... may not be able to speak. If there's anything about me that might upset you, you can tell me anytime."
Tell me what you like and dislike. I can also identify herbs, and I'll give you all the coins I earn. A man can't be without any money; that's unacceptable.
Look how well she speaks! Every word she says is for the good of her husband.
