"Besides, no matter how much money you give your older cousin, it won't end up in his hands, so it's better not to give it to him at all!"
Yun Duo felt that what her grandfather said made a lot of sense. The Yun Youtian family had not yet separated, her eldest cousin was honest, and her aunt Wang Shufang was extremely biased. The wages she was paying her eldest cousin now would eventually be used for Yun Wansheng.
It's better to feed it to the dog.
With that thought in mind, Yun Duo stopped mentioning the wages. Instead, she nodded, agreeing with Yun Dazheng's statement.
After breakfast, Yun Duo went next door to find Gu Wu and asked him for help. Gu Wu readily agreed. It was his honor to be asked to do something by his young mistress, so how could he hesitate?
Yun Dazheng then strolled over to Yun Youtian, the eldest son of the Yun family.
Because it was still winter and the weather was still very cold, and there was no work to do, farmers usually went to bed early and got up late, spending most of their time in bed.
Firstly, sleeping in bed covered with a blanket is definitely warmer than being downstairs where your hands and feet get cold.
Secondly, it's less likely to get hungry while asleep. Unlike the busy farming season, people in the village usually only eat two meals a day, and the food isn't very good; they're basically just filling their stomachs and getting enough to drink. If they were constantly awake and active, they would definitely get unbearably hungry.
The same applies to Yun Youtian's family.
However, the ones sleeping were Yun Youtian and his wife, Yun Wansheng, and Yun Xiangwen. Yun Fusheng and his wife were actually up. Yun Fusheng was fetching water into the water vat when he saw Yun Dazheng come over early in the morning. He was slightly surprised before saying, "Grandpa, is the family waiting for water? I'll go fetch some for you in a bit."
After all, apart from the lack of water, Yun Fusheng couldn't think of any other reason why his grandfather had come here.
My parents and my second brother really upset Grandpa before. Generally speaking, Grandpa would try not to come over if he could avoid it. When he usually fetched water, he would calculate the time and go to the old house by himself to help fill the water tank.
It's not time to fetch water yet, but... maybe they're planning to wash clothes at home?
It's cold now, and the water is bone-chillingly cold. It's perfectly normal for grandparents in the old house to boil water and wash clothes at home, even if it's not cold.
Unlike their home...
His wife does all the laundry at home. Even when she boils some water to soak the clothes, his mother complains endlessly. She doesn't yell, but her complaints are hurtful.
Every word they uttered implied that the younger generation, not being in charge of the household, didn't know the value of money, and that his wife was too pampered. Yun Fusheng himself felt uncomfortable listening to it.
It wasn't that he thought Wang Shufang's words made sense, but... Wang Xuemei's hands would swell up like carrots in the field every time she finished washing clothes, and it pained him. But he didn't know how to resist his mother.
He thought Yun Da had come to ask him to help fetch water, and the connection between the two made him feel really bad.
However, he didn't show it.
Otherwise, Grandpa would have thought he didn't want to fetch water for them.
Yun Fusheng thought to himself.
Looking at his honest and kind-hearted eldest grandson, Yun Dazheng felt a pang of pity. Thinking of Yun Duo's suggestion that the house be left to her "Brother Fusheng," he was pleased. He immediately shook his head and said gently, "Fusheng, there's still water at home, no need to fetch it. I came to see your parents; they're not up yet."
