As the Lunar New Year approaches, the village is filled with the festive atmosphere.
After receiving their wages and New Year's gifts, Little Tiger and Little Horse's status at home skyrocketed.
The sister-in-law who used to clamor for a division of the family property in Xiaohu's family no longer dares to call out to him, and instead keeps a low profile.
Xiao Ma has many siblings and was originally not valued, but now the whole family treats him with great respect, afraid of offending him.
Of course, they all encountered troubles. Their families and relatives tried to persuade them to bring their brothers to work in the hot pot restaurant.
However, they are not stupid. It is a favor that Qingshan and Qingsong are willing to help them, and it is their duty to do their job well and not cause trouble!
If they start this, the brotherhood will be over!
They won't do it!
Isn't the sapling a cautionary tale?
The two kept quiet about the hot pot restaurant, and once they couldn't get any information out of each other, the relatives naturally disappeared.
Both sets of elders breathed a sigh of relief and then began looking for a wife for their sons...
Wu Family Old House —
Wu Dalang and his son have been gone for more than half a month, and we don't know how they are doing.
The Lunar New Year is just a few days away, which is really worrying.
"Gagaga~"
A flock of ducks strolled by leisurely, occasionally pecking at the snow on the ground, seemingly eating something.
These were sent by Da Shi's future in-laws; there are six ducks left.
Da Niu is much better now and can get out of bed to do what she can for the family.
She had no idea how many chickens and ducks she had eaten, so how could she possibly continue lying there?
"Girl, don't touch the cold water. Your aunt has boiled some hot water. You can wash with hot water later."
Just then, Da Niu was about to scoop water from the vat to wash her clothes, but her second aunt quickly stopped her, leaving her both amused and exasperated.
"Okay, I'll listen to my second aunt."
The girl obeyed and put down the ladle. She didn't tell her family that in the past few years, she had touched water colder than this...
God took pity on her, letting her suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness.
"Little girl, come warm up in Grandma's room and help Grandma cut paper snowflakes."
Old Mrs. Zhou opened the window and called out with a smile.
Clearly, the old man had heard the commotion and wanted to get the girl away.
"Hey, here it comes~"
Da Niu smiled at her second aunt, then put down the basin and went to her grandmother's room.
Grandma's room is the largest and best room in the old house. Originally, the old lady wanted to leave it for her parents to live in, but her parents were filial and refused to move, so the room was still for Grandpa and Grandma to live in.
Upon entering the house, Da Niu saw her grandmother sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), lovingly waving for her to sit down.
"Grandma~"
"Come sit down. Come on, take a look and see which piece of fabric you like. Make yourself a new dress."
Old Mrs. Zhou waved her hand as if presenting a treasure, moved the low table to the middle, and gestured for her eldest granddaughter to choose whatever she wanted.
On the low table, there were seven or eight pieces of fabric, some dark in color and some with floral patterns, which didn't look cheap.
From her younger siblings' conversations, Da Niu learned that her family was no longer what it used to be.
Everything changed after Third Aunt woke up from an accident.
In short, our family is no longer poor or short of money, and life is much better now.
"Grandma, I have clothes to wear. Please keep these fabrics safe."
The eldest daughter sat down, glanced at the fabric briefly, then looked away and comforted her grandmother.
Now she is all alone and frail, relying on her family for support, how could she possibly take her grandmother's cloth?
"Oh, your clothes are all altered from your mother's, they're not exactly new. Grandma has plenty of fabric here, how about I pick out a couple of outfits for you?"
Old Zhou scolded with a stern face, then continued:
"Once your father and Dashi return and they get the divorce papers, you'll be free!"
If you want to remarry in the future, your parents and I will find you a family that we know well.
"If you don't want to get married, then stay at home. Your grandfather and I have some savings that can support you. Your parents and Dashi won't abandon you either..."
Upon hearing this, Da Niu held back her tears, tilted her head back for a moment, and then said:
"I'm sorry, Grandma, I've brought shame to the family."
Old Mrs. Zhou hugged her eldest granddaughter and said with heartache:
"No, you're not shameful. You've always been the most outstanding granddaughter in our Wu family. It's our family that wronged you back then. It's good enough that you don't resent our family."
"Milk~"
The string in Da Niu's mind snapped, and a sense of clarity broke through the shackles, leaving her silent for a long time.
With the support and love of her family, Da Niu gradually became more optimistic and confident...
Jiang Yue is sensitive to the cold, and except for necessary outings, she almost always stays indoors.
With her sons handling things outside and her daughter-in-law taking care of things at home, she suddenly found herself with much less to do.
With this free time, she tinkered with the system's online store.
With the year-end approaching, she used her remaining points to redeem three pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, ten packets of instant popping candy powder, and two cans of malted milk powder. Uh oh, her health bar is empty.
There were many more delicious foods on the screen, but she could only look at them longingly!
Ugh, redeeming points is urgent!
As Jiang Yue unwrapped the candy, she wondered what she could find on the back mountain to exchange for points.
What reason can you give to go into the mountains without attracting attention?
"Knock knock knock~"
"Mother, we're out of firewood. My second brother and I are going to the mountains to chop some. Just letting you know."
Outside, Qingshan's voice came. Jiang Yue thought to herself, "Isn't this just like someone bringing a pillow when you're sleepy?"
After quickly tidying up the messy bed and storing her belongings in her system space, Jiang Yue replied:
"Hey, wait for me, I want to see if we can gather any herbs~"
“Mother, the mountains are covered in snow and trees right now, so you shouldn’t go. As for the herbs, I’ll go to town to buy them for you another day.”
Qingshan scratched his head, politely declining while wondering to himself, "Is Mom bored out of her mind at home?"
"It's okay, I'm just killing time anyway, I'll go look for it, maybe I'll find it."
After Jiang Yue finished dressing, she opened the door, and at first glance, she looked completely armed.
When Qingshan saw his mother, who was wrapped up like a bear, he pursed his lips and suppressed a laugh.
He nodded, which was considered an agreement. However, he still said with some unease:
"Mother, don't go far. Stay close to me and my second brother, or we'll run into a bear, and that would be dangerous!"
"I know, Mother values her life."
Jiang Yue stood on tiptoe and patted her son's shoulder.
She's only just started to live a comfortable life, why would she be so upset?
To earn points, she had to risk finding some rare items!
