Chapter 10 Funerals and weddings are held together After
the rain, the snow continued to fall, and the temperature dropped by another three points.
Yu Tingwan ran up the mountain every day.
But she accidentally stepped on empty air and rolled down. Finally, she hit the root of a tree hard
and the pain in her body made her unable to get up for a long time.
But it was also here that she dug up a piece of yam as thick as an arm.
"Remember, the herbs I want look like this. They can stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Your Alang can use it."
A voice came from not far away.
Old man Qian threw the freshly picked herbs to Hui Niang.
Hui Niang hurriedly took it with both hands: "Okay."
She was afraid of offending old man Qian.
Since the man took back the money, the mother-in-law came to make trouble during the day and at night, making old man Qian restless.
Old lady Wei was old and shameless. She sat in front of old man Qian's door and rolled around, saying that she didn't want to live anymore. She banged against the door directly, and even the head of the village couldn't drive her away.
What can be done with her?
Seeing that Old Man Qian's face was getting darker and darker, Hui Niang was afraid that he would not want to treat A Lang anymore.
Old Man Qian was a widower with no children. There was no woman to take care of the house, so it was dirty and messy.
Hui Niang cleaned up the Qian family's house and prepared Old Man Qian's portion when cooking. Wei Shouzhong helped to fetch water and chop firewood.
Old Man Qian had a very comfortable life these days. So much so that every time she wanted to drive him out, she couldn't say it.
"Okay, let's look for him separately."
Although they were separated, the distance between them was not too far.
Old Man Qian knocked on the thick snow with a wooden stick, put his hands behind his back, suppressed his temper and said loudly: "Your mother-in-law's mouth is dirty and smelly, it's disgusting to look at!"
Hui Niang looked gloomy and bit her lip tightly.
Old Man Qian: "It's fine if she scolds you, but she scolds me too!"
"
Do you want some Heartbreak Grass?" Hui Niang was stunned and hesitated: "Are you going to give Ah Lang a poison
to fight poison?" "For your mother-in-law."
He said with a gusto: "It won't kill her! "
Yu Tingwan: ...
She should actually leave .
But ... it's really attractive.
Yu Tingwan cleared his throat and limped over from the side: "Can you give me one?"
Old Man Qian: ???
Why are there still people here! There are
so many lush trees on the mountain. If Yu Tingwan didn't say anything, it would be hard to tell.
Yu Tingwan: "My aunt also needs it."
Hui Niang: ... What kind of people are they.
"You can't do that."
Hui Niang saw that she was unfamiliar, and still advised: "Eating the Heartbreak Grass will kill people."
Yu Tingwan: "I'll just scare her."
After that night, Wang Shi became much more obedient.
But people like her don't learn from their mistakes!
Yu Tingwan took out three bird eggs yesterday and took them back to cook. He ate two at night and prepared one for the morning.
But Wang Shi ate it secretly.
She looked at Old Man Qian expectantly: "But I don't have any money, can I buy on credit?"
Old Man Qian: "Do you know my last name?"
Yu Tingwan didn't get the heartbreak grass in the end, and she picked up her big yam dejectedly and prepared to leave.
Yams can be used as medicine, and Old Man Qian was sharp-eyed.
"Wait."
"Are you selling this yam?"
Yu Tingwan was very short of money.
She asked: "How much will you pay?"
Old Man Qian: "Ten cents."
Who would she give such a small amount of money to? If she took it to the town, she could sell it for at least twenty cents.
But the road was still closed... Yu Tingwan really didn't have a penny on her.
She was very poor.
She scratched the chilblains on her hands and it itched and hurt. She applied the ointment used by the daughter-in-law of Aunt Wu next door to her once, and it worked very well.
One bottle costs twelve cents.
It was bought in the town, and it was not available at the moment.
But she could pay the young daughter-in-law of the Wu family to share half a bottle.
Otherwise, her hands would be useless.
After getting the money, Yu Tingwan gave the yam to Old Man Qian and prepared to go down the mountain.
She walked slowly, fearing she would fall again.
Behind her, she heard Hui Niang sighing, "That girl is so pretty."
"When A Lang gets better, I'll find him a beautiful wife, hoping that the couple can live happily together."
But... she was worried.
Her family was poor, and with Old Lady Wei making trouble, she was afraid that no one would be willing to become her in-law.
Old Man Qian didn't laugh at her long-term thinking.
But...
he frowned.
"Let's not do it."
"With your son, he's more cruel than a wolf cub... Maybe the bride will be stabbed as soon as she enters the house."
"Funerals and weddings can be held together."
Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?
She, who has always been calm and indifferent, was a little confused.
It shows that you have to be careful when getting married!
Didn't Wei Shen join the army? How come he looks like a barbaric bandit?
She cherished her life very much, and
couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Wei family lived at the end of the village, while the Wang family lived at the head of the village. When she married Butcher Wu in the future, there would be no contact.
Yu Tingwan didn't take this episode too seriously.
The young wife Wu next door was dissatisfied when she learned about her purpose, but she smiled when she saw Yu Tingwan took out six coins.
She bought the ointment before she entered the house last year, and most of it was left.
After she got pregnant, she put it aside.
Seeing Yu Tingwan wanted to buy it, she was more than happy. She gave it to him directly along with the small pottery jar.
She also covered her mouth and whispered, "Your cousin's relatives are here. You have to stay at my house and go back later."
Yu Tingwan was not surprised.
"She is about to give birth, so it's not uncommon for her relatives to come to visit."
Although she said so, she knew better than anyone why the Xu family came.
It has been snowing heavily these days. The Xu family's house is simple and the roof has been blown off. How can they avoid the cold?
But the house cannot be completed on the same day, so the family had to come and stay with a thick face.
In the previous life, they came with food and even cut a piece of meat with great pain. Wang refused and drove them all out.
But the Xu family had nowhere to go, so they cried outside the Hu family.
All the villagers came to watch the fun.
Wang wanted to save face, so she had to open the door.
But this life... I'm afraid it's different.
After all, the water tank at home is shallow, and no one goes to lift it. No one chops the firewood at home.
Wang has no one to use.
If the Xu family comes, she should be reluctant to drive them away.
Yu Tingwan's eyes slowly moved down and landed on the belly of Wu Xiaoxi's wife, who had just shown her pregnancy.
"Going back to my parents' home the day after tomorrow?"
Wu Xiaoxi's wife was surprised: "Yes." "
My third brother is getting married soon, and I have to go back to help."
"Sister-in-law, it's better not to go out."
Wu Xiaoxi's wife: ? ? ?
Yu Tingwan knew that her husband had injured his leg half a month ago and had to take care of it these days. After thinking for a moment, she said.
"If you are really in a hurry to go back, let Aunt Wu accompany you."
Wu Xiaoxi's wife: ...
She dare not.
Her mother-in-law was quite dissatisfied with her going back to her parents' home, and kept scolding her for only thinking about her parents' home.
Yu Tingwan: "Our two families live close to each other, and the roads are slippery on snowy days. I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be hit by something."
So that's it.
Wu Xiaoxi's wife waved her hand indifferently: "You think too much."
How could she be so unlucky? How could she be careful on the way back?
Yu Tingwan was very straightforward: "Then miscarriage."
"I won't joke about this kind of thing."
Involving the fetus, Wu Xiaoxi's wife frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense! Mother, aren't you cursing me? Fortune tellers all said that my pregnancy is safe."
Yu Tingwan looked at her sincerely, staring at her straight, and the teardrop mole at the end of her eye was actually a bit charming: "Then maybe he is not as good as me."
She couldn't help asking: "How much is one fortune telling?"
"Thirty cents."
How much? ? ?
She almost lost half her life, and only earned 12 cents, and that was when she was lucky.
Yu Tingwan remained silent.
Aunt Wu came over at this time. She looked at her daughter-in-law with an ugly face, and then looked at Yu Tingwan whose mind was empty.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Tingwan said faintly: "I'm thinking about whether I should set up a fortune telling stall to make money."
