Seeing Xiushui frowning, the old lady asked quietly what was going on.
"Grandma, my aunt's suggestion is indeed good. If we have food and water, and the mountain won't be burned, then staying here is indeed the best choice for us.
But here comes the problem, the work I take on can only last for three days, but I can always get discounts on food.
Now the question is, should I ask them to work for three days at a time instead of taking the work in batches?
For example, take a task on a certain day after a certain period of time? Then take it again after a certain period of time? "
The old lady thought for a moment.
"Let's do the task today. If we take it today, even the poorest families should be able to live about an extra month.
After a month, if everyone runs out of food again, we can continue to take it.
As for whether to leave or stay? Surely no one in this area will burn the mountain again, so why not go down and tell them we've found a water source?
As for other things, like staying here, let's not talk about it and see if they'll think of it."
Xiushui thought about it for a moment and understood what the old lady meant.
If they bring it up, they will definitely be blamed if there are any problems in the future.
If everyone decides not to leave and stays for a while, even if something goes wrong, no one will blame them.
"Okay, let's do it."
After making the decision, the group rode the snake and the eagle down the mountain again.
After reaching a certain distance and making sure there was no one around, everyone stopped and got off the car.
The old lady asked Li Qingfang to wait there for a while, and told Heimei to call someone to carry the wild boar. Then she called Xiushui to go with her to pick up the wild boar.
Li Qingfang had no objection to this.
In her opinion, her mother-in-law had a chance to become an immortal, and she just had to enjoy it.
Calculating that the time was almost up, Xiushui released the tied wild boar as it was.
When a few pigs came out, they squealed in fear again. Li Qingfang didn't dare move when she heard the pigs' squeals until the old lady roared.
"Qingfang, come here."
"Okay, here I come."
After coming over, he wanted to carry the bigger one, but the old lady slapped him away.
"I've already told you that you're a woman, so you have to take care of yourself. If you need to carry anything, carry the smaller ones, and let your family members carry the rest.
Qingfang, I'm not talking about you. Don't take things lightly when you're young and mess up your body. You'll suffer when you're old."
"Mom, I get it. Hehe, mom is still good to me."
Holding the old lady's arm, Li Qingfang smiled brightly and charmingly.
The old lady felt distressed when she saw his carefree look.
"You, take care of your health and give birth to a child for Changxuan in the future, so that he won't be angry with you all the time."
"Yes, mother is really thoughtful. From now on, I will have to tell Lao Wu to have another child. Humph, he is so stingy and was frightened by the way I gave birth.
All these years I haven’t dared…”
Then, as if realizing that there were some things she couldn't say, she let go of her hand, quickly grabbed a pig and rushed down the mountain.
"Mom, I'm going back to kill the pig. Oh, I still need to boil water. What a bad idea! Where can I find so much water?"
"Qingfang, let them boil it. We can change the water. Don't worry."
Seeing her daughter-in-law running away, the old lady shook her head.
"Really? I'm not an unreasonable mother-in-law. How can I really urge you to have a baby? It's just that you're always envious and jealous of other people's children. But I never thought that the reason why this couple has not had any more children is because of the fifth child..."
"Grandma, my fifth uncle really loves his wife and is a good man."
"Yes, it is true. All my sons are good. Except for that one."
Except the boss.
"Grandma, do you think my uncle might not be your son? Hahahaha... Isn't that what's written in novels?"
"How is this possible? When I was born..."
Suddenly, the old lady's expression changed.
In fact, when she gave birth to her first child, she was also very panicked and confused. She just remembered that she was dizzy while giving birth. As for how many children?
To be honest, I don’t have any impression of it.
But one thing is true, that is, when the eldest child is born, he or she will obviously look better than the second child.
She is white and chubby, and many people say she doesn't look like a newborn.
She had no experience and just thought that the eldest child was stealing the nutrition from the second child.
Seeing her like this, Xiushui was surprised.
"Nana, there won't really be a problem, right?"
"I don't know if there's a problem, but your uncle didn't look like a newborn baby. Now that I think about it, that old man was really overly attentive when I gave birth.
Except when he brought the child to him for breastfeeding, he always took the child away at other times.
The original owner thought that the old man felt sorry for her and was very grateful for it.
But in my opinion, this is obviously because he doesn't want her to have too much contact with the child, so, is the eldest child really the child adopted by the old man?"
"If that's the case, why was he so nice to the boss? Does this mean that he actually had a lover outside since then? Well, this is really what a nice guy would do. If that were the case, wouldn't the original grandmother be furious to death?"
The old lady's expression became solemn again, as she recalled some fragments of her time traveling through time.
At that time, it seemed that the old lady overheard some conversation between the old man and Widow Ma, and she rushed in angrily to beat the two of them to death.
However, the old man pushed her down in desperation.
When she woke up again, she had traveled through time and replaced the original owner.
It's a pity that this body can't recall what it heard at the time. How could it selectively forget such an important point?
"The original owner's death seems to be related to hearing their secret."
"So does that mean Widow Ma is my uncle's biological mother? That doesn't seem likely."
"She's not my biological mother. Widow Ma is a widow who returned home after her husband died. In fact, the villagers don't know who she married.
In her early years, she only knew how to serve wealthy families, and no one really knew anything else.
The only impression I have in my mind is that the bad old man seems to have had an affair with Widow Ma's former master.
It's strange. If it was the old master, why would Widow Ma, a trusted servant, come back?
"Having returned, does that mean his family has fallen on hard times? And Xu Qingshan...was actually a bit different when he was young."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened the old lady became.
Some things cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try.
For example, when Xu Qingshan was young, you could tell from a little contact that he was different from the men in the village.
But at that time, the original owner, who was infatuated with love, thought that Xu Qingshan's behavior was just to please her.
As time went by, Xu Qingshan behaved more and more like a farmer.
"Xiu'er, do you think Old Man Xu is from a poor family? No, that shouldn't be the case. Perhaps, he's from an aristocratic family whose property was confiscated, or one that committed a crime?
If that happens, will it implicate your father and the others..."
