Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Not really. I saw that Xu Dagou's family lived together, with a curtain between them."
"That old woman surnamed Xu is a freak. She has to squeeze all the vacant rooms together."
"Mom, thank goodness you're not like her."
"When you said that, I couldn't tell whether you were praising me or scolding me."
It's quite rare to meet someone like Old Lady Xu.
There is no mother-in-law who insists on sleeping with her son and daughter-in-law.
This was not the first time Sun Jiaxue had heard of such a thing, and she said:
"It happened in our village before. They treated their daughter-in-law's child as their own and kicked the daughter-in-law out of the house."
"It's really amazing. It's really broadened my horizons."
"That's nothing. There are even more shameless things. You're just too young to know."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingqing asked, "There are even more bizarre things. Tell me about them, Mom."
"You're a grown man, and you're curious about this kind of thing?"
"I just want to broaden my horizons, gain some knowledge, and listen to some truths."
"These are all old, dirty stories. It's not good for Jiaxue to hear them while she's pregnant. Today you're going to the county town and then to your private plot. Get some rest. I'm leaving."
As an elder, it is not appropriate for her to talk about these things with the younger generations.
"Mom, please stay and eat."
"It's not like I can't do any work anymore. When your father and I can't walk anymore, you'll have to bear the brunt of it."
"Mom, you are in such good health that you won't need us for the next few decades."
"I like what you said."
"Mom, wait a moment."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he went back to the house and took out all the Cordyceps sinensis that the system had rewarded him last time.
"This cordyceps is for you and dad to nourish your body."
"Oh my God, I haven't eaten much of what you gave me last time. This is really precious stuff, I'm afraid I can't buy it even if I have money. You keep it for yourselves and use it to nourish Jiaxue."
"Don't eat this carelessly. Although it's a good thing, it's not suitable for pregnant women."
"Yes, Brother Mingqing is right. It's good for the health of the elderly."
"Your father and I are like wild boars that can't stomach fine bran. We've wasted this good thing."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "I've never seen anyone say that about themselves. Jiaxue and I don't eat it, so if we keep it at home, it will go bad."
"Son, to be honest, your father and I feel much better now. We don't feel breathless when working anymore."
"You see, Cordyceps sinensis is still effective."
There are two large portions in the system space, which are the rewards for saving people twice.
Old Lady Li happily carried him back to the old house.
In the afternoon and evening.
Li Mingyuan and Li Lizhu came over carrying a small bag of snacks and a half-foot piece of cotton cloth.
"Second brother, just come empty-handed, why carry anything?"
"Thanks to you for saving our little family this time, otherwise how would Erniu and Sanniu survive?"
"Yes, let me interrupt and say one more thing. Second sister-in-law, you always want to raise a son, but look at Wang Dazhu and Li Goudan in the village. The elderly in their families don't enjoy their blessings."
"I've really figured it out. I was worried that Erniu and Sanniu wouldn't have men to support them when they grow up, but Xiangdong and the others are good kids, they definitely won't sit idly by."
"That's the right thing to think of."
Sun Jiaxue placed the teacups and brewed the tea.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, come and try the green tea that Brother Mingqing just bought."
"We are really blessed."
Erniu and Sanniu were having a lot of fun playing with Wangcai in the yard.
The laughter of the two sisters could be heard outside the wall.
Old Mrs. Xu, who was passing by, said, "These two money-losing guys are laughing so happily. I really don't know what the people in Old Li's family are thinking."
Wang Dahua whispered, "Mother-in-law, let's go back."
"What are you going back for? You asked me to ask for food, but I couldn't even get any. Old Mrs. Zhao is almost dead, and she can't eat much by herself. You can't even get a grain of rice. You're really useless."
Xu Dagou shrank aside and didn't dare to speak.
Wang Dahua glanced at him but he pretended not to see it.
Old Lady Xu beat and scolded her on the street for more than ten minutes before she stopped.
He really didn't treat her as a human being.
The captain passed by and said, "Old lady Xu, why are you embarrassing yourself in public?"
"My daughter-in-law is disobedient and wants other men. I am educating her on behalf of my son."
"Don't go too far."
"Don't worry, Captain. Our family has always been a place where mothers are kind and daughters-in-law are filial."
He is really good at calling black white and telling lies with open eyes.
Yang Daya sat at the door holding Siniu and watched the whole process.
Old Lady Xu said, "Why would you wear nice clothes, girl? My grandson has nothing to wear. How about asking him to recognize you as his godmother?"
"Accept me as your godmother! How come your Xu family is completely wiped out?"
How dare you tell her children what to do? You really think you have a good temper.
"How can you speak like that, Li's wife?!"
"You say one thing to one person and another to another. You old man, you are crooked from head to toe. You don't even understand your own affairs, yet you want to meddle in other people's!"
Xu Dagou whispered, "Mom, she's a shrew. Let's go first."
"It's shameful for a grown man to be so secretive when speaking. You're a coward. You married someone's daughter and tortured her like a monster."
Anyone with eyes could see what kind of life Wang Dahua was leading in Old Xu's house.
"How dare you scold my son! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother-in-law."
"Who the hell do you think you are to act wildly in front of Old Li's house?"
Old Lady Xu immediately ran away without saying a word in fear.
"You said you were holding a child and you dared to provoke a mad dog like her. Don't hurt the child again."
"Mom, her small body is no match for me."
"Isn't it easy for a family of three to deal with you alone?"
"Okay, okay, Mom, you look after Si Niu while I go to my plot of land to dig up some peanuts."
After she said that, she stuffed Si Niu into Old Lady Li's arms.
"Si Niu, look at how irritable your mother is. You must never follow her temper in the future."
Li Mingfang came back from work with two big bones.
This was something Li Mingyuan asked me to bring back to supplement Li Lizhu's nutrition.
He left one big bone at home and carried the other big bone to the new house.
The other big bone was brought to Li Mingqing by Team Leader Sun.
"Third brother, you're just in time. Come sit down and have a cup of tea."
"You're probably the only one in Lijia Village who has the leisure to do this. Forget the tea, this is something Team Leader Sun from the Meat Processing Plant asked me to bring you."
"Why are you bringing things again? It's been a while."
"He said that Sun Xiaocheng's success in the army was entirely due to you, so you shouldn't refuse."
He couldn't keep refusing every day. When he had time, he had to go to the county town and talk to him in person.
