Liu Cuizhen also told the old lady that Xingyuan was going to get married.
The old lady frowned and asked, "Xingyuan, does that girl have any defects?"
Xingyuan blushed and said, "No, it's fine. I told her that our family conditions are average, so her family didn't ask for much."
"Mom, you think too much. The Xu family is considerate. They know it's not easy to make a living in the countryside, so they didn't ask for too much." Liu Cuiying said proudly. Her son is capable, and city girls are willing to marry him even if they ask for less money.
The old lady didn't say anything, but she felt something was wrong, so she asked her sister to find out more, make sure there was something they didn't know, because it's not so easy to take advantage of someone.
Everyone was tired, so they went to bed early after dinner.
Li Mancang gave Wu Zhiqiu some hot water to soak his feet to relieve his fatigue.
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? If mom sees you, she'll scold you for being useless." Wu Zhiqiu put his feet in the warm water, feeling very comfortable.
"Who's laughing at me? It's a tradition in our family to love our wives, but I have no idea who will spend the rest of my life with me." Li Mancang smiled and massaged Wu Zhiqiu's shoulders.
The couple chatted about the harvest in a haphazard manner. Wu Zhiqiu was really tired and fell asleep leaning against the cabinet.
Li Mancang quickly wiped Wu Zhiqiu's feet, moved her to the inside of the kang, and let her sleep well. When he went out to pour the water for washing feet, he was seen by Liu Cuiying.
When Liu Cuiying returned to the room, she got angry when she saw Li Mantun snoring. They were the same buddies, so why was there such a big difference between them? She was so angry that she got on the kang and kicked Li Mantun hard.
Li Mantun was so frightened that he was stunned. "What are you doing? Why are you kicking me?"
Liu Cuizhen rolled her eyes, turned around and ignored him.
Li Mantun...is not tired yet, and still has the leisure to throw tantrums at him.
The next morning at around four o'clock, the old lady had already prepared breakfast, which included steamed buns and mung bean porridge, which was enough to satisfy your hunger and not make you thirsty.
The third child refused to get up from the bed and was pulled out by Xingsong and Xingyi.
"Did I dig up your ancestral graves? Are you made of steel or cement? Why do you have to make things difficult for me? How deep is my hatred for you?" the third brother wailed.
The old man said, "Li Mancang wants your son to know what it means to be in trouble and what it means to speak out of turn."
The third brother woke up immediately, and when Li Mancang was looking for a stick, he ran to the door and bumped into someone coming in from the opposite side.
"Grandpa, uncle, aunt, why are you here?"
"You little jerk, you almost broke me." Old man Wu rubbed his chest. He almost died before he even started working.
Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqiu hurried out to greet them. "Dad, brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"I'm here to help your family with the autumn harvest. We don't have any land, so we're just sitting around doing nothing. I came to help out," said the eldest sister-in-law Zhang Huizhen with a smile. "Your second sister-in-law and her family are here too, but they're behind us. Your second brother didn't come because he was out driving."
The eldest sister-in-law pointed to the back and saw that the second sister-in-law had brought the eldest daughter to the fourth daughter, and the son-in-law had also come, driving an ox cart. They arrived at the door while they were talking.
"Second sister-in-law, you are all here, please come in." Wu Zhiqiu was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
"What are you doing in the house? Go and clean the floor while it's still cool." Wu Huai went into the yard, got the tools and went out.
