The village chief was so shocked by the news that his mouth gaped open, revealing his missing teeth!
Jiang, Wu Sanlang's wife, was notoriously difficult, stingy, and lazy...
How could someone so full of flaws become good?!
Do you also have a lucrative business to make money?
The village chief looked shocked and quickly said:
"Yongfu, you're not kidding, are you? Your third daughter-in-law has really changed for the better?"
"It's true. We've been friends for so many years, would I lie to you?"
Old Master Wu was somewhat embarrassed. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public; his family's dirty laundry had long been the subject of gossip and jokes among the villagers...
well!
The past is too painful to recall; he really doesn't want to remember it anymore!
"Perhaps it's because Sanlang is watching over us from heaven."
The village chief closed his mouth again, somewhat believing it.
Since that was the case, he offered guidance and, with Youfu's help, selected four families. These four families were known throughout the village for being honest and straightforward, not prone to cheating or dishonest behavior, poor, with few able-bodied men and many women...
When Grandpa Wu heard the village chief report the four households, he nodded in satisfaction. Including his family, that made five households. They could harvest a thousand catties of honeysuckle within ten days, which would be enough!
"It's rare for you to come to my house, so why don't you have lunch here? Your sister-in-law made minced pork and eggplant stew, it's so tender, it'll be perfect for us with our weak teeth~"
The village chief warmly invited them, saying that after the meal, he would personally visit the four households to discuss the matter.
These people wouldn't pass up a windfall!
One thousand catties of honeysuckle can be divided among five households. Each household can harvest two hundred catties within ten days and earn two hundred copper coins in a short period of time, enough for a family to live on for three months!
"No, no, my family has braised pork intestines for lunch, I want to go home to eat~"
With his worries resolved, Mr. Wu took his leave with satisfaction.
He'd rather eat pig intestines than eggplant with minced meat!
Haha~
The village chief was so angry he laughed. Pig intestines were indeed tastier than minced meat and eggplant, but unfortunately his wife didn't know how to cook them. Sigh~
"Grandpa, what are you laughing at?"
Ten-year-old Wu Youyin was already as tall as his grandfather's shoulder, a true giant.
It's a pity this child doesn't like studying, otherwise it would be much better for him to stay in town with his son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson.
The village chief thought regretfully, then patted his grandson's head and asked:
"Hey, Yin, how long has it been since you went to play with Cao'er?"
Wu Youyin recalled carefully, it seemed to have been three or four days.
"Okay, after you finish eating, pick a basket of potatoes and take it to Cao'er's house."
The village chief was benevolent and his own family was well-off. He was tolerant of the Jiang family and often helped other poor families in the village.
Wu Youyin was already used to this.
Not to mention Old Qin, who was with him day and night, and was also the village chief's wife.
"Old man, dinner's ready!"
"Hey? I just heard Old Wu's voice, where is he?"
"He's gone home to eat braised pork intestines~"
"kindness?"
Old Mrs. Qin was somewhat taken aback. She knew all too well about Old Wu's situation and had only intended to invite him to have a simple meal together, but unexpectedly...
Here, Xiao Zhou handed the braised pig intestines to Jiang, and surprisingly heard her express her gratitude.
"Thank you for your trouble, Second Sister-in-law."
Jiang Yue thanked him, smelled the braised pork intestines, and found them very fragrant; she would have a meat dish for lunch.
"It was cooked by my sister-in-law. My mother told me to bring it over quickly."
Ms. Zhou explained awkwardly that she hadn't taken credit for the work herself.
Before leaving, she saw the honeysuckle drying in the yard and, as if possessed, said:
"Father went to see the village chief. He will probably come to find you later."
Jiang Yue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile and escorted the person to the door...
The fact that her second sister-in-law took the initiative to talk to her shows that she has accepted her changes.
Behind him, the shouts of the big ox came—
"Mom, the food is ready, let's eat!"
"Hey, here I am."
Jiang Yue smiled knowingly. She had to admit, her son could be quite effective sometimes.
Stir-fried green peppers with sliced pork, braised pork intestines, stir-fried wild vegetables, cold tossed houttuynia cordata, and a wild vegetable and fish soup~
I've never eaten like this even during Chinese New Year!
The three Wu brothers and Wu Xiaocao didn't pick up their chopsticks.
"Come on, everyone, eat more vegetables. From now on, there will be meat in every meal!"
Jiang Yue first served her daughter a piece of braised pork intestines, and then served Da Niu and Er Gou a piece of her own.
As for Qingyun, she could see it clearly; the other party's brows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly!
It seems that braised pork intestines aren't for everyone.
"tasty."
Grass was eating with great relish. Just a few days ago, she was drinking cold water to fill her stomach, but now she was eating meat!
I'm so happy!
"Once this batch of dried flowers is finished and delivered, and we make some money, I plan to ask your grandfather and uncles for help to rebuild our house. Da Niu and Er Gou are not young anymore, and it will be easier to find them a husband once we have a house."
Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, Jiang Yue revealed her plans for the future.
She wants to guide these children step by step to be positive and motivated. Eating meat at every meal is not a long-term goal; they need to have life ideals and pursuits.
On her very first day in this world, she was shocked by Da Niu and Er Gou.
One wanted money, the other wanted a wife.
Okay, she'll grant their wish!
Make them brothers be devoted to their own mother!
During the process, the youngest child will experience an internal struggle: whether to choose good or evil depends on his own thoughts...
As for her good daughter, she is still young, so she should stay by her side and enjoy life to the fullest.
"Mother, you've been so good to us!"
Wu Daniu was heartbroken, or rather, suddenly had an epiphany.
He used to be selfish and disrespectful to his mother, but she disregarded past grievances and wholeheartedly cared for him...
Wu Ergou stopped eating the meat; the meat in his mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.
He used to constantly clamor to get married because he saw that other young men in the village got married and their families' lives improved, so he wanted to...
And now, in just a few days, Mother has kept her promise to them, ensuring they have meat to eat every meal and never letting them go hungry!
Waaah, at this moment, Er Gou had only one thought: even if he got married, he would still treat his mother well. When he was choosing a wife, he would definitely tell her that she would take good care of his mother!
Wu Qingyun paused, almost choking on the meat.
He thought his mother was earning money so he could afford to go to school, but what did he overhear?
Mother said she wanted to build a house so that her eldest and second eldest brothers could find wives!
What should he do then?
His tuition fees, and the money to buy books...
Wu Xiaocao was overjoyed to hear that a house was going to be built in her family, and clapped her hands, saying:
"Mother, Cao'er wants a big room, the kind that doesn't leak when it rains!"
“Okay, there are five of us in the family, and all the rooms are the same size. I also want to build a bathroom and a flush toilet later.”
Jiang Yue spoke her mind and revealed some of her thoughts.
Seeing that the four children all looked blank, she changed the subject, saying:
"Eat first, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay, Mom~"
"Mhm."
"oh."
"Mom, have some meat!"
