"Grandma, have a peach!"
Qingyao washed two peaches and brought them over. The soft ones were given to her grandmother, while the firm ones were given to her mother.
"Oh, Grandma's teeth aren't good, so Yao Yao should eat it."
When Old Mrs. Zhou saw her granddaughter arrive, she immediately stopped talking about what she had been saying.
"Milk, this is a soft peach, you can eat it~"
Qingyao smiled, revealing her teeth, and then placed the peach in her grandmother's palm, indicating that her grandmother should take a bite.
"Oh, Grandma is in for a treat!"
Old Mrs. Zhou beamed with joy, pinching the peach flesh with her right hand; it was indeed soft and fluffy.
If you ask her, her granddaughter is the most considerate.
It's a pity that she only had sons when she was young, and she was never destined to have a daughter!
"Mother, you should eat too."
After Qingyao appeased her grandmother, she handed the other peach in her hand to her mother. If Grandma had one, Mom should have one too!
"Thank you, Yao Yao. Mommy and Grandma are talking about adult things. You're just a little kid, you shouldn't listen. Go play with Xiao Bai now~"
Jiang Yue accepted the peach, praised her daughter, and gestured for her daughter to leave.
"Mmm~"
Qingyao, being sensible, obediently ran away.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White glanced at its mistress, then at its young master, and then went off to chase after the little master.
"Mother, isn't Wu Dagui's family in complete chaos now?"
Jiang Yue took a bite of the peach; it was sweet and sour, and very crunchy.
I asked this not out of concern for the other person, nor to "kick them when they're down," but simply out of curiosity.
“Who says otherwise? We should just keep this to ourselves and not spread it around. If it gets out, it will damage the reputation of other families in Wujia Village who have daughters.”
Old Mrs. Zhou was also eating peaches, which didn't require any effort from her teeth.
I thought to myself, how can Guihua be so clueless?
"Yes, I know."
Jiang Yue nodded, refusing to comment as she did not know the full story.
After chatting with my mother-in-law for a while, the topic turned to the children's marriages.
"Recently, a matchmaker came to Da Shi to propose marriage. The girl you met last time is Zhang Li'er."
As Old Zhou talked, she finished the peach. She didn't want to throw away the pit. She thought, "If I wash it and put it on the ground, maybe it will grow into a seedling next year."
"I don't like that girl. Mother, what do you think?"
After listening, Jiang Yue ate most of the peach in her hand.
My brows furrowed involuntarily. If I remember correctly, the last time I heard that family talking, they didn't seem very friendly.
"Although the girl is outstanding in appearance, her temperament is hard to discern. However, your sister-in-law also feels that the girl's family is unreasonable, so she doesn't really want this marriage."
Old Zhou nodded, deeply agreeing.
Last time, she was in a hurry to arrange a marriage between Qingshan and Qingsong, and she brought the whole family to the old house to meet them. But when she saw them, she realized that something was wrong.
That girl's mother is a chatterbox and always looks at people with a sideways glance.
That aunt's father seems like an honest man, but he can actually tolerate his wife's unreasonable behavior. How good can his character be?
Most importantly, the girl had a younger brother. Later, she inquired around and found out that the boy was idle and didn't work hard in the fields. He spent his days stealing chickens and dogs, and his reputation in Zhangjiawan was terrible.
When the matchmaker came to her door to propose marriage to her son, Da Shi, she was not very happy about it.
“Mother, I suggest that we let Dashi find a girl for himself and give him some time. If he doesn’t find a girl he likes on his own, then we can look for someone for him.”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue decided to try and help her nephew.
Look, her husband Qingshan didn't cause her much trouble; he found her a wife right away.
As for marriage, it's all about fate. If you're destined to be together, you'll meet early and get married when you're of the right age.
If you meet someone you're not meant to be with late in life, then you can just settle down later.
"Okay, then next time this matchmaker comes, I'll refuse them."
After listening to her third son's wife's words, Old Zhou felt that they made a lot of sense.
Her family wasn't wealthy enough to support a large extended family.
If the other party were hardworking and ambitious, that would be fine, but it seems that Zhang Li'er's family isn't.
"Mom, wait a moment, I'll go inside and get you some ointment to reduce swelling and some insect repellent."
Jiang Yue agreed, then placed the peach pit on the brick next to the pillar and got up to go to her room to get something.
"Why."
Old Zhou felt comforted, thinking that her third son's wife was quite good. Although she had been a bit of a scoundrel in the past, she was now a model wife!
Whenever there's something delicious, they always remember to have their children deliver it to the elderly couple.
I remember them whenever there's something good.
Looking at the magnificent house, she couldn't help but think of her third brother. If only he hadn't died!
Jiang Yue can't read minds, but she doesn't know what her mother-in-law is thinking right now.
Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't react much.
No man? No man? In her past life, she was single for thirty years and still lived a good life.
Even if he were reborn now, he's still living a very successful life!
I took five small bottles of cooling balm (about the size of a fingernail), three small bottles of anti-swelling ointment (about the size of a palm), and five unpacked mosquito coils.
He repeatedly told his mother-in-law that these things were very precious and could only be used by family members.
"Mother knows. It wasn't easy for you to take this out. If someone finds out and wants it, it's not good to refuse, but it hurts to give it to them. Mother isn't stupid."
Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and stuffed the things into the basket, treating her third son's wife with kindness and gentleness.
These are all good things; the daughter-in-law is being filial to them, she wouldn't let outsiders use them!
After Jiang Yue saw her mother-in-law off, the house instantly fell silent.
A moment later—
There was another knock at the door, and Xiao Bai whimpered, indicating it was someone they knew.
Qingyao opened the door and found it was Grandpa Village Chief, so she helped him into the house and poured him water.
After sitting down, the village chief said in a kind and gentle manner:
"Yaoyao, where's your mother?"
They came under the scorching sun, drenched in sweat, constantly fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans.
“My mother is washing clothes in the courtyard. I’ll go find her now.”
Qingyao answered crisply. After settling Grandpa Village Chief in, she ran to the courtyard and told her mother that Grandpa Village Chief had arrived.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue paused, thinking to herself that the village chief would only come to her house for a reason, so it must be about the medicinal plant seeds.
So he quickly rinsed off the foam from his hands, pressed his hands to the towel, and said:
"Okay, Mom is going to talk to your village chief grandpa. You go back inside and look at your medical books."
"OK."
Qingyao nodded, and after her mother left, she sat down on the stool, rolled up her sleeves, and began washing the clothes her mother had only half-finished washing...
Just as Jiang Yue had expected, the village chief came about the medicinal plant seeds.
"The wheat harvest is finished, and everyone's fields are empty. Now that the weather has cleared up, I've come to ask if you've prepared the medicinal herb seeds."
As the village chief spoke, he took out the written agreements and contracts from the families of those in the village who had registered and signed with him.
Jiang Yue looked at the thick stack of papers on the table and wondered how the other person had brought them with them.
Are you sweating?
kindness?
