Chapter 21 Carry your things and go to your father-in-law's house

After returning from Mapo County, Mrs. Wei took Xingxing to rest in the house. Although Bai Xiaofeng said she was very tired, she was very excited and went straight to find Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua was squatting in the kitchen picking vegetables.

Weeds had started to grow in the fields over the past two days, and the men from the Yu family had been weeding in the fields all day. She had to make some food and send it to the men working in the fields.

Bai Xiaofeng directly handed Li Chunhua an old money bag and said with a frown, "Sister-in-law, take a look."

Li Chunhua wiped her hands on her apron, and as soon as she took it in her hands, she found something wrong.

Why is it still a bit heavy?

She quickly opened it and counted it. There were thirty coins in total. She was dumbfounded: "That's not right. Why is there so much? Haven't you given it to mother yet?"

Li Chunhua felt a little uneasy as she spoke, "No, I'll go to the main house and get it for my mother—"

Bai Xiaofeng grabbed Li Chunhua's arm and lowered her voice, still unable to express her excitement: "Sister-in-law, mother said that we should keep the money for embroidery work ourselves."

Li Chunhua almost couldn't hold the purse steady in her hand, and she shuddered: "What?! Is this true? Don't lie to me about this!"

Bai Xiaofeng also laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared: "How dare I say such a big thing? ... You sold three pieces of embroidery for a total of thirty cents, not a cent more, not a cent less. Mother didn't want a cent!"

Li Chunhua was also excited: "Is this... true?!"

In the future, when we save this money, it will add up to a considerable amount over time!

The two sisters-in-law were so excited that they worked even harder!

When Old Man Yu came back from the fields with his son in the afternoon, he saw Old Lady Wei sewing shoe soles for Xing Xing in the daylight by the window. He clicked his tongue twice and asked curiously, "Old lady, what good thing happened? I see the eldest and second daughters-in-law are both beaming with joy. What happened?"

Mrs. Wei said without even looking up: "Nothing, the second son's wife went out to sell some needlework today. I told them that they can just keep the money from the needlework themselves in the future."

Old Man Yu was not the kind of person who would keep an eye on his daughter-in-law's private money, so he didn't care and nodded: "You decide."

"But..." Mrs. Wei finished sewing the last stitch, bit off the thread, admired the finished sole, put it aside, and said to Old Man Yu with a smile, "Guess how much we sold our Burning Heart Grass for?"

Old man Yu became interested: "How much?"

Mrs. Wei stretched out her hand and made the number “two”.

Old Man Yu guessed, "Two silver coins?"

But he quickly denied his guess, "No, if it was just two cents, would you be so happy?"

Old Yu was puzzled.

Mrs. Wei smiled proudly and said, "Didn't expect that?"

She lowered her voice and said to Old Man Yu, "I sold that Heart-burning Grass for two taels of silver!"

Old man Yu was really shocked: "Two taels of silver?!...Our tree? The leaves have been plucked away by chickens. It's very good if we can sell it for a few dollars. Why are you still..."

Why did you sell it for two taels of silver? !

How long does this old man have to work in the fields to earn two taels of silver!

Mrs. Wei said proudly, "Didn't expect that?"

She told Old Man Yu in detail what happened at that time - Xingxing chose Renhuitang between the two clinics, but Renhuitang happened to have a customer who was in urgent need of Zhuoxincao and directly paid a high price!

Old man Yu couldn't help but slap his thigh, grinning: "Oh, I told you, our Xing Xing is really bringing good luck to our Yu family!"

Mrs. Wei agreed with this.

She looked out the window with soft eyes.

Outside the window, Xingxing was holding a bowl of chopped wild vegetable leaves and helping to feed the chickens. Her little face was full of smiles, and she looked extremely happy.

When it was time for dinner, everyone had a smile on their face - except Yu Sanbao.

Everyone was talking and laughing, but Yu Sanbao was the only one who just ate his meal without even raising his head.

But Yu Siyang, the fourth son of the Yu family, was clear-minded. Although he didn't know why everyone was so happy, he also laughed foolishly for a while.

However, Yu Siyang looked left and right and soon discovered the problem and called out "Third Brother".

Yu Sanbao stopped eating and glanced at Yu Siyang: "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Yu Siyang asked Yu Sanbao very sincerely: "Third brother, when will your sister-in-law come back? I haven't seen Ju Ge'er for a few days, and I miss him so much. Ju Ge'er said before that he wanted me to weave a grasshopper for him, so I have made one for him."

There was silence at the Yu family's dining table.

Yu Siyang was simple-minded and didn't know that Su Rouer took Ju Ge'er back to her parents' home in anger in order to use this opportunity to control the Yu family.

He just thought that his third sister-in-law was taking Ju Ge'er back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

Speaking of his wife, Yu Sanbao felt a little annoyed: "...She doesn't want to come back, should I tie her up and bring her back?"

Yu Siyang was a little surprised and wondered, "Why doesn't Third Sister-in-law want to come back?"

"..." Yu Sanbao didn't know how to explain to his brother, so he just buried his head and ate a few more mouthfuls of rice.

"Okay, Lao Si, enjoy your meal." Old Man Yu spoke.

Yu Siyang still listened to his parents very much. Although he didn't understand why, he still said "oh" and lowered his head to eat his meal obediently.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Wei called Yu Sanbao over, took out thirty coins from her box, and gave them to Yu Sanbao: "Go to the county tomorrow, buy some things, and bring them to your father-in-law's house."

Yu Sanbao obviously did not expect that Mrs. Wei would take the initiative to bring up this matter.

He clutched the thirty cents, a little shocked: "Mom...are you not angry with Rou'er anymore?"

Mrs. Wei sneered: "I'm angry, of course I am. Your wife thinks she's from the county and looks down on us country bumpkins. But after all, she's still your wife, your son's biological mother. Do you really want her gone? Back then, you insisted on marrying her, and we almost had a falling out. Now that you've married her, you have to take responsibility!"

The more Mrs. Wei spoke, the more annoyed she became. If she were to get her way, she would be too lazy to deal with Su Rouer and Su's mother anymore, seeing how they looked today!

But no matter what, Su Rouer is still Ju Ge'er's biological mother!

Today, she saw that Ju Ge'er's clothes were covered with dirt and there was a red and swollen spot on his face. She thought that he had fought with his little cousin many times at the Su family.

As a grandmother, how could Mrs. Wei want her own grandson to be bullied like this?

Seeing his mother was so magnanimous and forgiving of past grudges, and even though she didn't like Su Rou'er in her heart, she still suppressed her temper to persuade him, Yu Sanbao was even more moved. He made up his mind: "Mom, don't worry, I will bring Rou'er and her son back tomorrow and teach her a good lesson! Don't let her talk to you like that again!"

Mrs. Wei, however, did not hold out much hope for this. She said "hmm" faintly and waved her hand to signal Yu Sanbao to hurry out.

She called out to Xingxing who was playing in the yard outside: "Xingxing, come on, let's go for a walk."

Xingxing let out a cheerful "Hey" and ran in from outside.

When she entered the room, she saw Yu Sanbao was still there, and she called him "Uncle San" obediently.

Yu Sanbao only had the mischievous little devil Ju Ge'er in his house, and he liked the cute and well-behaved Xing Xing from the bottom of his heart. In addition, Wei Pozi took the initiative to ask him to pick her up tomorrow, so he was in a very good mood. Yu Sanbao laughed, picked up Xing Xing and threw her into the air: "Oh, why do I like Xing Xing more and more?"

Xing Xing was thrown up suddenly and was startled. She screamed "Ah" and hugged Yu Sanbao's neck.

"You just know how to scare people!" Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes at Yu Sanbao. Seeing her son so happy, she didn't say anything more. She just took Xingxing back from Yu Sanbao's arms, and the two of them went out for a walk together.
