Lin Li's departure from home with her son caused quite a stir, and Xu Zhijin's face was darker than the sky outside.
"Brother, let's go after sister-in-law," Xu Zhiyin couldn't help but say.
He shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the eldest son's family.
But Lin Li has five older brothers, each more domineering than the last. If Lin Li were to go back and complain, her family would cause a scene, making things difficult to handle.
The old lady slammed her hand on the table with a dull thud. "Why are you chasing her? Let her go. She's gone too far."
With both his mother and brother adopting this attitude, Xu Zhiyin couldn't say anything more.
The kerosene lamp, which was about to go out, was blown out, and Old Xu's house fell silent.
On their first day of vacation, Xu Jingrun and Xu Jingtian got up very early.
Chen Yunyun was still sleeping, while the two children were cooking and tending the fire.
After Rong Yan filled the water vat with water, he slipped out as usual.
Chen Yunyun had a rare good night's sleep, but woke up hungry.
Inside the kitchen, the two little ones were whispering to each other.
"Brother, are the dumplings almost ready?"
Xu Jingrun stood in front of the stove, watching the dumplings bubbling in the pot, and hummed in agreement.
Xu Jingtian removed the large firewood that was burning brightly in the stove. "Then I'll go call my mother."
Just then, Chen Yunyun pushed the door open and walked in. "My two darlings are so well-behaved! They've already prepared the food! They're so capable!"
She pulled two yuan out of her pocket. "This is a reward for you. Buy whatever you want in town. Don't be stingy."
Two yuan is a large sum for a child these days. Most families rarely have even two cents of pocket money, let alone two yuan.
Chen Yunyun roughly calculated that, including their New Year's money, as well as rewards for helping with housework and doing well on exams...
The children should have ten yuan in their hands now.
With such a large sum of money in the child's hands, Chen Yunyun said she was sure it was fake.
But when Chen Yunyun thought about Xu Jingtian's experiences in the original book, she became determined to raise her child in a wealthy environment.
In the original book, Xu Jingtian was easily deceived by a stranger with a few watches and clothes because she was poor and ignorant, and became someone's mistress...
The little girl in front of her, under her guidance, is able to read and write, is well-behaved and gentle, and has quite a bit of money on her.
Those bastards, don't even think about letting Xu Jingtian go down that shameful path again!
Thinking of this, Chen Yunyun's movements became even more swift and decisive as she stuffed money into the two children's hands. "Be good and keep it safe, Mom has plenty of money!"
After the family finished breakfast, it was time for them to go to work.
During the busy farming season, the atmosphere in the village becomes tense.
Every household was in a flurry of activity.
Chen Yunyun opened the door in the morning, distributed farm tools and fertilizer, locked the door, and then went to the fields.
Behind her followed three little kids.
They were all shorter than each other, and their trouser legs were covered in mud as they walked along the ridges of the fields.
With so many people in the fields, Chen Yunyun couldn't always look after the children, so she sent them to carry baskets on their backs to the roadside or the hillside to cut pig feed.
Around the plot of land allocated to Rong Yan, many women exchanged land with others and moved to the area next to Rong Yan.
Because Rong Yan doesn't like to talk and is cold.
The women were all too shy to approach and talk to them; they just stood by, working and glancing at each other...
Rong Yan seemed oblivious to the burning gazes directed at him. The hoe in his hand seemed to transform into a glittering magical artifact, instantly elevating his status.
His bending over and hoeing the ground was no different from others, but it looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
One of the women was so engrossed in watching Rong Yan that she didn't notice she had cut her hand and let out a cry of surprise. People around her teased her, and she blushed with embarrassment.
Chen Yunyun watched from the sidelines and sighed inwardly, thinking that beauty really does have a lot of negative effects.
The scorekeeper stood on the edge of the field counting heads. "Xu Zhijin, where's your wife?"
During the busy farming season, the team is already short-handed, so the elderly, weak, women and children all have to work.
Why is it that Xu Zhijin's family is always short of people?
