"It's getting late, everyone should wash up and go to bed. Yu girl, we're out of firewood at home, go pick up some tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. Dad said we should take a break for ten days. Besides, we don't have any family to eat at, so whoever eats will be the picky one, don't you agree?"
"You have no right to interrupt when the adults are talking? You are such an unruly person." Old Man Zhao was particularly annoyed with his granddaughter. "Old Third, did you notice that Xiaoyu looked different after being fished out of the river? Maybe something unclean got into her."
Zhao Xiaoyu: You are not clean, your whole family is not clean!
"Dad, Xiaoyu is very smart. She just died once. She is stronger, more insightful, and smarter. If she is still as cowardly as before, she will be eaten to pieces sooner or later. Xiaoyu, remember, just stay like this. If you have time, teach Lihua a lesson. Don't let her become stupid too."
"Yes, I understand, Dad!" Zhao Xiaoyu answered loudly.
Mr. Zhao: ...
It's not because he expects them to work, he really can't stand being bullied by his current father.
"Third brother, let me remind you that you don't have a son yet."
These words pierced Zhao Dashu's heart and made him feel bloody.
He hung his head, looking depressed.
"Dad, Mom is still young. Who says she can't have children? Besides, even if she can't, it doesn't matter. Lihua or I can find a live-in son-in-law."
Zhao Dashu looked up, his eyes sparkling. Yes, why didn't he think that he could marry a live-in son-in-law, and his future baby would also have the surname Zhao.
Old Master Zhao sneered disdainfully, "You are boasting, aren't you afraid of getting your tongue tangled? Son-in-law who lives with you, Third Brother, what do you use to attract people to come to your house? Just the wild vegetables in your basket?"
Naive, a live-in son-in-law, really thinks it is so easy to get one, and that people will only be willing to marry you if you have a family business to support you. Even his own brothers are unwilling to adopt a son to him, yet he still wants to find a son-in-law to live with him. It's a pipe dream.
Zhao Xiaoyu ignored him and looked down on you. No matter how much you said, it would be useless.
Looking at Song who came into the kitchen to cook wild vegetables, Old Man Zhao looked down on him, and the same went for Old Second Zhao and his wife. You have to eat without suffering, you don't even look down on the steamed bread at home, and you drink wild vegetable soup every day, how cheap!
"This wild vegetable soup, paired with steamed buns, is really good!"
"There are also eggs." said Mrs. Song. Two eggs a day, she couldn't even imagine that she could spend so much.
"Great time, great time!"
"Mom and Dad, let's search more slowly tomorrow. There must be more than just honeysuckle on the mountain."
"Okay, we'll listen to you. We'll look for Honeysuckle and you look for someone else." As for the others, they didn't even know what they were when they were presented to them.
"That Mao Fei is also a medicinal herb, but it needs to be dried, and we can't do that."
Zhao Dashu slapped his thigh with regret.
"It's not that we can't do it, Dad and Mom, what do you think of Aunt Liu?" If they can't dig, they can let someone who needs it do it.
"Okay, there were many times when I was too hungry to work, and Aunt Liu would always give me two steamed buns from home to fill my stomach."
"Don't you know their family? Uncle Liu and your father and I are childhood friends, and we are like one. Your Aunt Liu doesn't get along with the old house because we are at a disadvantage, and she can't stand it."
"Dad, go find Uncle Liu tonight and tell him that dandelions are medicinal herbs. Dig them up with the roots, wash them, dry them, and then go to the medicine shop to ask for the price."
"Well, I'll go to town tomorrow and ask if they accept fresh ones."
"I don't think this herb is expensive. I don't think it should be used if it's not dried."
"As long as they have money, they will do it." In this village, apart from farming, there is no other income throughout the year. It's not easy to get a job as an idler. I only make 20 cents a day carrying sandbags and I'm exhausted. It's hard to find a job and everyone is scrambling for it. He would have work every year, and because he was good at sweet-talking, he would bribe the foreman from time to time.
It was still dark, and the yard was gloomy. Zhao Dashu and his family have already gotten up and washed up. Only Lihua was still asleep, carried in a basket on Su's back.
"Third brother, where are you going?" There was a person standing vaguely at the door, but he didn't look very real.
