Wanting to go home, Old Sun ran to the door, but then retreated.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? What are you doing clinging to the door frame?"
"My legs are weak and I can't stand."
So, should she continue to stay at his house or go back to the old house?
"Old Third, can you take me home?"
On the way back home, Mrs. Sun kept complaining to her third son about the troubles at home. In short, the family was in chaos.
My eldest brother and second brother have a pretty exciting life!
"Old Third, when will my house be repaired? You don't know how stingy these two families are. The rice in the rice soup is getting less and less, and the steamed bread is getting smaller and smaller. No, an old woman like me can't eat much of their food. Is it necessary to be like this?"
"Maybe there's not much food left at home."
"It's not a lot. They are all thinking about the little food ration you give me. I withhold it and don't give it to me. You don't want to support me." She saw with her own eyes that the eldest brother's family hid in the house and secretly ate, and she suspected that the second brother did the same.
Old Sun's heart was broken, this was the good son she raised. She didn't want to continue to starve with them, so she thought of living with her third son for a while.
As a result, there were more shocks than joys, which really killed me...
When Xiao Lei came back from the county town, the heavy money bag on his waist made a rustling sound. Zhao Xiaoyu was squatting in the yard grinding, and she felt her tongue was a little dull when she killed the snake that day. Seeing this, she rushed up to him and asked, "How much did you sell?"
"Venom glands are 20 cents each, snake gallbladders are 15 cents, and the owner of the medicine shop said he will take as much as you can get from now on." Xiao Lei took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, "I brought you some sesame cakes from the Ji family, and some pear blossom maltose."
Zhao Xiaoyu took the food and found it was really worthless. She thought it could at least be sold for ten taels of silver.
"Take your time to eat. I'll read for a while."
Zhao Dashu finally let out a sigh of relief when he returned home. "My daughter, you are the lucky star of our family. If you hadn't insisted on going up the mountain, I wouldn't have found so many snakes to scare your grandma. It's such a coincidence that you caught up with me."
"No, what are you going to do, isn't it comfortable to live in the old house? Now that grandpa is gone, isn't she the eldest in the family?"
"Don't even mention it. I can't defeat the two families in the old house at all. Not to mention that I can't defeat them, I will be directly controlled by them.
You don't know, I wanted to say a few words to help her earlier, but after a few words from my brother, she stopped talking and was still wondering if she had gone too far.
No wonder my dad used to say when he was angry that she had everything right except something missing in her brain. "
Zhao Xiaoyu: Grandpa’s analysis is very thorough.
"If you can't fight, then don't fight. Can't you just live a good life?"
"Your grandma said they don't give her food. Each family is more stingy than the other."
"Doesn't she have her own food? Can't she cook for herself?"
Zhao Dashu was even more confused. "She said that she had been a mother-in-law before, and she had finally managed to get your grandmother to die, so there was no reason for her to do it herself. Let's just keep going like this and see who can't stand it first.
She also said that she would keep a closer eye on me in the future and would find fault with anyone who cheated on me. "
Although there was no follow-up news about Yangma, the Zhao family's new shop was almost ready. Zhao Dashu began to collect dry goods from villagers in this village and several nearby villages.
The goods were not collected at his home, but at the village chief's old house. There was a mule cart at home, so it was convenient to collect the goods and bring them back home.
They only collected various types of mushrooms, not dried vegetables. Zhao Dashu had asked around in the county town, and found that people in the city would eat fresh wild vegetables, but they were not interested in dried vegetables. It wasn't like there was a famine, so who wanted to eat dried vegetables?
