Xu Guixiang originally did not intend to let Su Wan know about this, for fear that if she knew it, it would affect the relationship between the two of them, and even the relationship between the sisters-in-law.
After all, they would have to cook from the same pot, so less trouble was better.
Wang Xiao'e has been thinking about her brother-in-law for a long time. If there was hope, she would not have waited for two days.
She had heard that Lu Chengchuan had refused, and for that reason he had not come back to visit his relatives for two days.
So she was not afraid that anything might happen to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Since Su Wan knew about it, she had to tell her the situation again.
"Wang Xiao'e's husband, Chuanwazi's eldest brother, died unexpectedly two years ago. I don't know who gave her the idea to let her younger brother-in-law take her eldest brother's place so that they can still be a family.
As a result, Sichuan boy disagreed. Wang Xiao'e thought that he might agree after a while.
They waited for two days, but Chuanwazi never came home again. It was clear to him that the two of them were not worth it.
So just know it now, and don’t ask Chuan Wa about it again, or it will embarrass everyone.”
So that's how it is. Su Wan nodded, "I understand."
"Wanwan, don't have any opinion of Wang Xiao'e because of this incident. She is a woman who lost her man at such an early age and has three children to raise. She is so pitiful.
It was understandable that she was thinking about Chuan Wa Zi at that time, but in the future, as long as she no longer has that thought and doesn't treat you with hostility, you should just pretend you didn't know."
Xu Guixiang is a tolerant and generous woman. She thinks that things are in the past and should not be mentioned again.
Otherwise, you'll always be talking about it, embarrassing others and making yourself feel bad. What's the point?
The rain yesterday lasted until the next morning, and it soaked the fields thoroughly.
Although the sky had cleared up earlier, it was impossible to get into the ground with one's roots. Once one stepped in, one would sink deep into the ground and not be able to pull out for a long time. Not only would one also drag out the crops with one's feet, which was a pity.
So the captain gave the villagers a rare day off.
Su Weiguo, Su Haiyang and his son Su Haibin finally have time to make furniture today.
Originally, the yard was the most suitable place to make furniture, but the ground was too wet and there was a lot of mud, so there was no way to do anything.
They had no choice but to move all the things in the main room out and start working in the living room.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by He Ailian's voice.
"Sister-in-law, we are going to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Do you want to come with us?"
Xu Guixiang was thinking the same thing, so she quickly responded, "Go, go, wait a moment, I'll bring a backpack back."
Su Wan was lying in bed feeling bored. When she heard about picking mushrooms in the mountains, she was more excited than Xu Guixiang.
"Mom, go 놖껩, go 놖껩."
She yelled as she jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and rushed out.
In fact, Xu Guixiang didn't want her to go because the road was too muddy and difficult to walk on. If she wasn't careful, she would get covered in mud.
But seeing Su Wan's excitement, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed reluctantly.
Xu Guixiang found another pair of rain boots, took off the small pair that fit her feet and gave it to Su Wan, and put on the bigger pair herself.
When San Gou saw them leaving, he made a fuss about going. Xu Guixiang glared at him and said, "You are at home helping your dad and brother pass tools or something. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
Sangou pouted and turned to beg Su Wan.
"Sister, please ask mom for help. I want to go to the mountains to play."
Su Wan was not blind. The reluctant look in Xu Guixiang's eyes just now had already made it clear. She didn't dare to plead for San Gou again, lest she end up being unable to go.
"San Gou, the road is too muddy and hard to walk on, so don't go. Wait for me at home. I'll go to the mountains to pick wild fruits for you."
Hearing this, Sangou turned around in dissatisfaction, snorted, and ran to the main room to watch his father making furniture.
"Sister-in-law, are you ready? Come back quickly, the third brother and the others have gone far away." He Ailian was getting anxious as she stood at the door waiting.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Guixiang responded quickly, then turned around and said to Su Wan, "Wan Wan, are you okay?"
"Okay, Mom, backpack, give me a backpack."
"Don't carry the basket on your back, just go to the mountain and play for a while." Xu Guixiang didn't expect Su Wan to do any work at all.
"No, 놖껩 wants to pick mushrooms. Why don't we pick more and exchange them for some money later?"
Xu Guixiang couldn't defeat Su Wan, so she had to go to Sangou's room and get another backpack for her.
The mother and daughter pushed open the door and went out. He Ailian was a little surprised to see Su Wan.
"Su Wanxiao, you have to go. This muddy road is not easy to walk on. Don't cry later."
"No, auntie, don't worry."
I heard that the second and third brothers had already walked ahead, and the three of them hurried forward while talking.
"Xiaohua is more than six months old. Why does she go to the mountains instead of resting at home?" Xu Guixiang muttered worriedly.
"Isn't it? I told her not to go, but she didn't listen. She said she wanted to save more money before the baby was born. The third child was willing to go along with her, so there was nothing we could do."
"When we get there, tell her not to go. We'll just be at the foot of the mountain. We'll take whatever we can."
After that, Xu Guixiang said to Su Wan, "Wanwan, the mountain is wet and the road is slippery. We'll be there soon. Just stay with your aunt at the bottom and pick up the fish. Don't go anywhere else."
Su Wan didn't say whether it was good or bad. What's the point of her agreeing? Who knows whether Cao Xiaohua will agree or not.
The three of them chased after them closely, and when they were almost at the foot of the mountain, they finally caught up with them.
Although Cao Xiaohua was pregnant, she was still able to move briskly and was always talking and laughing.
"Wei Min, I'm not saying anything to you, but Xiao Hua's belly is so big, why are you still letting her get pregnant?"
The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Xu Guixiang was not going to say anything to them, but she couldn't help herself when she saw Cao Xiaohua's big belly.
"I didn't want her to come, but she insisted on coming, and I couldn't persuade her..."
"sister in law"
Cao Xiaohua didn't want to embarrass the man, so before Su Weimin could finish his words, she hurriedly explained:
"Regardless of the matter of protecting the people, I just had to come here. I haven't been to the mountain for several months. I wanted to come and take a look and dig some mushrooms to exchange for some money.
You see, she's about to give birth, and not only will she not be able to work for a long time, but it will also cost a lot of money. There are so many mouths to feed at home, so every bit counts."
Cao Xiaohua smiled helplessly, which made Xu Guixiang feel uncomfortable.
If they add one more child, there will be another mouth to feed in their family, and they will need at least half to one child. Cao Xiaohua cannot work, and it is indeed difficult for Wei Min to support two mouths by himself.
Thinking about myself again, even if I wanted to help her, I was powerless. After all, her family still needed to marry a daughter-in-law, and marriage would cost money, and she didn't know where the money would come from.
Alas, every family has its own problems and worries, but all worries ultimately come down to money.
It's all because of money. If you have money, who would be willing to work hard with a big belly?
Since rain doesn't require labor, those who came early had already picked all the mushrooms on the upper side of the mountain foot. If you stay on the upper side, it would be a waste of your trip.
Xu Guixiang knew that if she continued to persuade Cao Xiaohua, she would definitely not listen, so she put all her worries aside with a word of warning.
"Weimin, you have to take good care of Xiaohua and don't get angry."
"Yes, I will."
Su Weimin responded while putting his arm around Cao Xiaohua.
The walk from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain is not difficult as the slope is long enough.
But the mountain road was too narrow, and even two people walking side by side seemed a bit crowded. Xu Guixiang wanted to help but couldn't, so she just walked ahead with He Ailian and Su Wan.
