Yun Qi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Grandma will keep it. I'll go and buy some floral fabric to make new clothes for our Duo'er later." She then looked at Lu Zhimin apologetically and said, "Thank you for bringing it."
Seeing Yun Duo casually hand over the money, Yun Qi felt a surge of relief. After all, the old man and the eldest son had only received ten yuan in total when they "separated the family property." Of course, this was only because Wang Shufang had sweet words but a bitter heart, managing to persuade the eldest son to give them such a small amount.
She had so many things to buy and was worried that ten yuan wouldn't be enough, but Yunduo had five yuan, and she gave it to her without hesitation. What a 'sensible' child! The second son and his wife must be bewitched to be able to torment such a good child, and then say they don't want her anymore...
Thinking this way, I felt even more sorry for the clouds.
“Okay.” Yun Duo naturally had no idea what Yun Qi was thinking. She nodded vigorously and said obediently, “Grandpa and Grandma will also wear new clothes.”
This prompted Lu Zhimin to praise Yun Duo for being sensible and knowing how to be filial to her grandparents.
Yunduo said again, "Grandma, I can't be of much help here. Let me go and gather some firewood, okay?"
Yun Qishi felt that Yun Duo was becoming more and more sensible. However, looking at Yun Duo's small arms and legs, she felt sorry for her and quickly said, "Good child, Grandma knows you are hardworking, but today we are repairing the house, and there is a lot of unusable wood. Also, your uncle and your village chief have cut down trees and branches that are enough to burn for a while. You don't need to collect firewood."
Hearing Yun Qi's distressed tone, Yun Duo was also touched, but she was still thinking about getting the pheasants and rabbits that Xiao Jiu had found, so she naturally refused to stay in the yard. She immediately suppressed her 'shiver' and said in a 'coquettish' tone, "Grandma, Duo'er wants to go and collect firewood. It's enough to burn for a while, not enough to burn for a lifetime. Duo'er is small and can't collect firewood slowly, so we have to start collecting now so that we can always have firewood to use."
Lu Zhimin said from the side, "Auntie, if Duo'er wants to go collect firewood, let her go. This child is always forced to work, let her go out and have some fun." He thought that Yun Duo wanted to go out and play.
Yun Qishi also thought that Yun Duo wanted to go out to play. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "If Duo'er wants to go out to play for a while, then go ahead. Don't carry the basket; it's heavy."
"What's the point of gathering firewood if I don't carry a basket?" Yun Duo playfully stuck out her tongue at Yun Qishi, then ran to carry the small baskets that Yun Qishi and the others had been given. She waved to Yun Qishi and Lu Zhimin, saying, "Goodbye Grandma, goodbye Uncle Village Chief, Duo'er's going out now." As she spoke, she clenched her little fist and said with a smile, "Duo'er thinks she's very lucky today, maybe she'll find something good."
Well, let me give her a heads-up first, so she'll have an excuse to come back with the rabbit and pheasant later.
"This child." Madam Yun Qi looked at Yun Duo with satisfaction, shook her head with a smile, and then looked at Lu Zhimin and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
"No, no," Lu Zhimin quickly shook his head and said, "A young girl should be lively. It's good that Duo'er is like this. She's sensible and knows how to help you and my uncle." As he spoke, he picked up a saw and started sawing the planks again.
Yun Qishi wholeheartedly agreed, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out considerably. Life might be tough, but at least she wouldn't have to listen to her eldest daughter-in-law's veiled insults anymore. Perhaps if she felt better, even if life was difficult, she and her husband could live a few more years.
Thinking this way, even walking with her bound feet seemed more energetic.
