Chapter 228 Unknown
Mrs. Li Xu swallowed the snack in her mouth and said gratefully, "Thank you for helping us, otherwise, I don't know how worried I would be!"
"We are in-laws, this is as it should be."
Li Xu was very pleased to hear this, "Don't worry, dear in-laws. We have a large family and will definitely take good care of the land."
If they get more food, they can also share more. Unfortunately, no matter how much labor they have, it is still limited. With 60 acres of land, they can only take care of 20 acres a day. They can't take care of more than that. However, with 20 acres of land, they can earn more than 10 taels of silver a year!
Zhu Lan said, "We have always been very confident in our in-laws' work. We will have to rely on them to take care of our land and house in the future."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren calculated that out of the sixty acres of land, the in-laws' family could only take care of twenty acres at most. The remaining forty acres would be divided into thirty acres for the three brothers of the in-laws, with ten acres each, and the last ten acres would be taken care of by Li Zheng's family. With Li Zheng's family taking care of the land, a lot of troubles could be avoided, and the in-laws' family could be taken care of more.
Li Xu was smiling from ear to ear. She was not jealous of Yang, as her family had their own way of living. She just lamented that she had relied on the help of her daughter-in-law a lot this year. It was her mother-in-law who was far-sighted. Every time a daughter-in-law came home, she would tell her how to treat her mother-in-law well, and why did she spend so much money to give her chickens and mutton.
If it weren't for the kindness of the mother-in-law, the Zhou family wouldn't be thinking about the Li family all the time.
Li didn't feel tired standing aside. When she got home, she realized why she went home. She was angry that the head of the family had kept it a secret from her, and she also enjoyed the feeling of being pampered by her parents' home. It felt great!
Li suddenly laughed out loud. Zhulan and Li Xu looked over and saw Li still grinning foolishly. She didn't know what good things she was thinking about that made her laugh so happily.
Bamboo orchid,
Based on my understanding of Li, she must be thinking about going back to her parents' home more often in the future.
Li Xu,
I can't bear to see the stupid girl, but the stupid girl is very lucky. In the future, the whole family will depend on her.
When Li saw her mother and mother-in-law looking at her, she lowered her head quickly, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. When she returned home, she would be the aunt of the Li family, and no one would dare to offend her!
In the evening, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren kept their in-laws, who insisted on leaving, for dinner.
Zhulan saw her in-laws off and enjoyed Li's enthusiasm. Li thought that her parents were helping her mother's family. It must be that she held a high position in her mother's heart, so she gave the benefits to her mother's family. She must serve her mother-in-law well.
Bamboo orchid,
What was Li thinking? She didn't look like she was grateful.
Zhou Shuren got angry, and Zhou Lao Da hurriedly took his wife back to the house. He didn't know what happened to his wife today. She was not afraid of her father anymore, and even his father dared to approach his mother with a cold face!
Zhulan let out a breath. Li was too passionate and she really couldn't stand it.
After breakfast the next day, the Yang family arrived. Not only Zhulan's parents came, but almost all the men in the Yang family came. Zhulan's house instantly seemed crowded.
Zhulan helped her mother into the house and sat down. Zhulan asked, "Why didn't the eldest and second sisters-in-law come?"
Sun said, "After all, they are mothers. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and life and death are determined by fate. They are feeling very uncomfortable and have not recovered from the pain."
Zhulan knew her mother was also upset, "Dad, have you and your elder and second brothers decided who will go?"
There are six boys in the Yang family's grandson generation, which is not a lot.
Sun said, "We have discussed it. Your eldest brother's eldest son Wuchun and youngest son Wudong will go to your eldest brother's house, and your second brother's second son Wuhe will go to your second brother's house. If your second brother's youngest son was not too young, your second brother would have wanted to send his two sons over as well."
This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have such a good opportunity again.
Zhulan thought that eldest brother's second son Wu Qiu was going with her. "Mom, why did eldest brother's family say Wu Chun was going with them? Wu Chun is the eldest son!"
Generally, the eldest child will stay with his parents. This is the responsibility of the eldest son. Just like in the second brother's family, the eldest son is the one who stays.
Sun explained, "It was your father who asked Wuchun to go. Wuchun has been a bodyguard for a long time and has traveled all over the country in recent years. If Wuchun goes with you, he can take better care of Wudong and Wuhe, and the family will feel more at ease."
Moreover, the eldest grandson has really seen blood. He is the best in both experience and intelligence. He can climb up as long as he has the opportunity. The old man is particularly optimistic about the eldest grandson.
At noon, the Yang family stayed for lunch. After lunch, the boys who were leaving stayed at Zhulan's house. Tomorrow Zhou Shuren will take the boys to the Zheng family to see Mr. Zheng. If everything is ok, they will go back to pack their luggage and prepare to leave with him in a few days.
As it turned out, the boys from the Yang family were all good and all caught the eye of Master Zheng, so all three of them followed him.
As the only aunt, Zhulan planned to prepare some things for her nephews' long journey, as life in the northwest is not easy in winter, especially the lack of vegetables.
Zhulan didn't pack anything else, but she packed a lot of dried vegetables and went to the county to find Doctor Lu in person. Swords have no eyes, so medicine is very important. She was afraid that the wound would get infected and cause fever. Zhulan asked her father to prescribe medicine to treat fever. As for hemostatic drugs and the like, Wuchun could get better medicine himself.
As the uncle, Zhou Shuren also went to find someone to get three sets of soft armor. There have been wars in the northwest for many years, and soft armor for self-defense must be in short supply.
Zhou Shuren used benefits to exchange for opportunities for the Yang family's future, so naturally he would not rely on the Zheng family for everything. He would handle things that he could do by himself, which would make the Zheng family respect him more.
This is all Zhulan and Zhou Shuren can do; they don’t have the ability to do more.
After Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sent their nephews away, they stood at the Zheng family's house, no, now at the gate of the Zhou family's house, watching the convoy go away. The future of these three young lives, whether they would live or die, was unknown.
Zhulan supported her mother. The old lady waited until the convoy had gone far away, then she finally started crying. The crying started a chain reaction, and Zhulan's eyes were red because everyone knew that the news they might receive in the future would be the announcement of a death.
