4. Add a few touches to the character of the evil mother-in-law
Life is hard enough, but there is someone beside you who keeps crying to you, telling you to stop struggling and just lie down and wait for death! How could Yue Yue Yue be calm?
Even if Mrs. Liu didn't know that she was digging for herbs, Yue Jiuyue just wanted to stay away from someone who cried and cried all day long.
"Should you dig here with me, or go home and watch the children cook?"
Yue Jiuyue finally softened his heart and planned to give Liu another chance.
"Mom, just go home with me. I also know that you are very hungry. When Little Man's father comes back, our family will have something to eat. He..."
Ms. Liu continued to persuade her while crying, which made Yue Jiuyue completely lose patience with her.
"Ms. Liu! What do I, a mother, do? I don't need a daughter-in-law to take care of things. Just go home!"
Yue Jiueyue spoke in a deep voice, which frightened Ms. Liu so much that she cowered like a quail and dared not speak. Seeing that she was really angry, Ms. Liu hesitated for a moment, then ran away in fear, lowering her head and wiping her tears.
After returning home, I was criticized by others along the way, which added a few strokes to Yue Jiuyue's "evil mother-in-law" character.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care what Mrs. Liu did. After digging for more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs, she finally decided to dig several common and easy-to-dig weeds such as goosegrass, plantain, pigweed, and windmill.
Medicinal materials that are not in the category of wild vegetables. Although the price of wet medicinal materials is very low, they are everywhere on the mountain!
Yue Jiuyue was directly lifted out of poverty!
A few grasses are equivalent to one kilogram, and even a pig rice seedling can weigh one or two kilograms. Sixty-eight pennies doesn't seem like much, but in September, Ke Yue can pull out two to three hundred kilograms of grass in an hour, which means it can be exchanged for one kilogram.
Two taels of silver was still more, and this was despite her weak health.
While Yue Jiuyue continued to struggle for a small amount of money, Yue Jiuyue's three sons, who were carrying water from a spring in the mountains, also heard rumors that Yue Jiuyue was so hungry that he even dug weeds in the mountains for pigs to eat.
Men also gossip, and besides, the three sons of the protagonist are rumored to be here at this time, which makes the gossip scene even more lively.
"Hey! Facing east, south, north, the three brothers can't do it! Even Xie's mother can't afford it, and the aunt has to go to the mountains to dig weeds that even pigs won't eat. Tsk, tsk, the three of them!
Brother, this is unfilial!"
"That's right! Why didn't you look at how pitiful my little aunt was! She was digging grass on the mountain alone, and I kindly went up to give her a few words of advice. I saw that the basket contained pig rice seedlings and plantains.
It's a pity that I can't persuade them!
Xie brothers, please stop being lazy. This water-carrying job doesn't require three people. You should think about how to dig more wild vegetables that those people can eat, and don't let my aunt dig up those weeds again.
, that’s really not for humans to eat!”
…
A group of people, some were sarcastic to the three brothers, and some were serious and sincere. The three brothers' faces turned blue and white as they listened, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. If it weren't for the lack of water at home, they would really want to
Drop your pick and leave.
The youngest of the three brothers is sixteen years old, and they are all at the age where they are rebellious and want to save face. Naturally, they feel unhappy about their mother's behavior that makes them feel embarrassed.
However, filial piety is paramount. If such things were spread, they would be nailed to the pillar of shame of being "unfilial". How would they behave in the future?
