Seeing Li's expression, Han Yu knew that Li might have something she wanted to say to Su Wenyue alone. In view of Li's previous good performance and her close relationship with Su Wenyue, Han Yu had no defenses against Li. After all, she was his second sister-in-law. Han Yu was indifferent to her emotions, but not without them. Compared with Han Lin, Han Yu still had a lot of affection for his elder and second brothers who had taken care of him since childhood, and he also respected Li.

"Second sister-in-law, you guys chat first, I'm going to go out for a while."

"Wife, I have to go to the village to do some things first and come back later." After Han Yu finished speaking, he explained to Su Wenyue. He originally wanted to explain to his wife, but since Li had something to do, he might as well go to the village to do things first. They would only stay in the village for one day, and many things would be done in a hurry.

"Okay, then you go and do your work first. I'll chat with my second sister-in-law." Su Wenyue nodded. Although she was also thinking about the affairs of the third brother's family and wanted to see how Han Yu would explain it to her, she was not the kind of person who would make a fuss.

After Han Yu left, Su Wenyue turned her attention to Li. As Li thought about that incident, she became more and more embarrassed and seemed unable to speak.

"Second sister-in-law, tell me what's the matter. Why are you being so polite to me?" Su Wenyue saw Li like this and thought that Li wanted to ask for help with something difficult. After all, Li seldom spoke to her, no matter how difficult the situation was. Because of Han Quan, Li was indeed a good sister-in-law and was unwilling to cause trouble for her. She might have changed a little after not seeing her for a few months, but she was just not as cowardly. Su Wenyue believed that a person's nature would not change.

"Fourth brother's wife, I heard that your family is going to harvest bamboo shoots. Is that true?" Su Wenyue asked, and Li asked with a flattering face.

"Yes, it happened a few days ago. What's the matter?" Su Wenyue raised her eyebrows. Even Li, who was so far away, knew about this matter. Su Anping's efficiency was still good.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I shouldn't have said anything about this, but my family is having a really hard time right now, and I can't bear to watch. I heard that your family is going to harvest bamboo shoots, so I wanted to ask if my family could dig some and send them over. If we can sell the bamboo shoots and exchange them for some food, our lives will be better."

Li said it in one breath, and she seemed even more embarrassed after she finished speaking, as if she had done something wrong. In fact, Li also felt so. The fourth son and his wife had helped their family enough. Now she was bothering the fourth son's wife with her mother's family's affairs. There was really nothing she could do. Although the second house was living a much better life now, she would occasionally help her mother's family, but this was not a long-term solution. Moreover, if she always helped her mother's family like this, no matter whether Han Quan would be happy or not, the rumors in the village would not sound good. If it reached her mother-in-law's ears, it would be another problem.

So that's how it is. Su Wenyue smiled. It seems that Li's personality hasn't changed. She just treats such a small matter as what she wants. "Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Look at how much money your family has, and send it all over. I'll send someone to tell the people below."

In fact, even if they didn't tell her, there would still be people who would accept the gifts sent by Li's family. I'm afraid Su Anping thought it was too far away at the time and didn't accept it by sending it to Li's family. Instead, he entrusted the matter to several village chiefs, so people misunderstood that they only accepted gifts from those villages. That's not the case.

"That's great, Fourth Brother's wife, thank you so much for this, but I don't know how much you can accept, so I can send someone to talk to my brothers from my mother's side."

Su Wenyue heard Li say: "Do you have a lot of people in your mother's family?"

"Yes, my mother's family has several large bamboo forests, and there are plenty of bamboo shoots to dig, but no one likes to eat this thing, and eating too much will cause heartburn. Even the poorest people don't like this thing, and it will go bad in the fields. I didn't expect that you would want this."

Su Wenyue had another idea after hearing this: "Second sister-in-law, if this is the case, why don't you dig more and send it to Silla Town. Send it to the farm outside the city. Although it is a bit far, the wages for the journey will be calculated separately."

"Do you really need so many? Fourth brother's wife, what do you want so many bamboo shoots for? If you are tired of eating other things, it's okay to try something new occasionally, but you can't eat too much. Don't let others cheat you. Even if this thing can be kept for a limited time, it will take a while. Don't waste your money if you can't finish it." Li said worriedly. Although it would be a good thing for her family to have more bamboo shoots, she couldn't just watch the fourth brother's wife get cheated and suffer losses.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have my own use for collecting bamboo shoots. I won't be fooled. But since I just thought of it last minute, I'm afraid I don't have enough time. After all, Laba has passed and the weather is getting colder. It will be difficult to dig bamboo shoots after the snow, so I'm rushing to collect more. Since there are a lot of bamboo shoots over there, how about mobilizing everyone to dig them together and leaving this matter to your mother's family? Can you do it?"

Hearing that the bamboo shoots in Su Wenyue's hand were useful, Li tactfully did not ask any more questions. The fourth son's wife was smart, and she was born into a wealthy family and was knowledgeable. She thought that something that others thought was useless might be useful to her. When Su Wenyue said that she wanted to hand the matter over to her parents' family, how could Li not be happy? Harvesting bamboo shoots was not difficult.

"Of course, it can be done. I immediately sent someone to my mother's house to talk to my eldest brother and asked him to dig more bamboo shoots in the field before the snow falls. It will not delay the work."

It turned out that Li was also an impatient person. She was about to go when Su Wenyue stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, wait, I still have some things to tell you." Su Wenyue told Li some things to pay attention to when harvesting bamboo shoots. Thinking that it would be a lot of time for Li to find someone, and she would have to owe a favor, she simply asked the servants to send Li back to her parents' home in a horse-drawn carriage. Li's parents' home was not too far from Xinhe Village, and it would take less than half an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

No one knew what Han Yu had gone out for. He did not come back in the afternoon and did not come back for dinner. However, he sent someone back to inform us, but his figure was not seen until dark.

"Where have you been? Why did you come back at this time?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I went to Ah Shuang's place and did some things. What did my second sister-in-law want to see you about this afternoon?" Han Yu said vaguely, and asked about Li's affairs, changing the subject. Although Han Yu promised not to hide things from Su Wenyue, he still didn't want Su Wenyue to know some dark things.

Su Wenyue did not ask any more questions, believing that Han Yu would be able to handle the situation properly. What she was more concerned about now was that Han Yu had promised his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the afternoon that Han Lin's family would also go to the city to celebrate the New Year. She was waiting for Han Yu to give her an explanation.
