If it were before, Ms. Li would definitely not be too lazy to care about her mother-in-law's life and death.

But now, because of her mother-in-law, life at home is getting better day by day. She naturally hopes that her mother-in-law will be in good health and live a long life.

In addition to this kind of selfishness, of course, her good relationship with her mother-in-law is also one of the reasons.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the house, she saw Zhu Bamei, Lin Sanmei, and Lin Simei, looking at the three treasures and the four treasures while tying their bracelets, and happily told them the good news.

"Really?!" Ms. Liu happened to come out of the kitchen and was very happy when she heard this. "Where is it? I want to see it."

"It's in my backpack," said Li.

After hearing this, the others quickly came over to help. They put down the basket on Li's back, helped to pick up the sweet potato vines, and dug out the sweet potatoes underneath.

When I turned around, I saw a bunch of sweet potatoes at the bottom of the basket, and everyone was very happy.

"Really, it's so big!" Zhu Bamei directly picked up the biggest one, "Mom, look, this one is so big. The ones we dug in the mountains before were not as big as this one in a few months."

The one she picked up was indeed half a head bigger than the others. It looked chubby and particularly flattering.

"Why did you dig so many? Fourth sister-in-law, you didn't dig several sweet potatoes, right?" Mrs. Lin was very happy when she saw these sweet potatoes.

It’s not yet the autumn harvest, but sweet potatoes are already ready to be harvested. What does this mean?

This means that they don’t have to worry about not being able to survive the autumn harvest or going hungry.

"No, my mother dug up four of them. Look, there are five or six at least, and more than ten at most. There are only four of them. There are so many of us, and each of us can get two or three sweet potatoes..."

Li said happily, "Isn't this much? Think about it again, what did we plant when we first planted it?"

"The sweet potato leaves are one by one. I'm afraid they won't grow big." Lin said, "Hehehe... But I didn't expect that they grow very well. They don't even need to cut the pigweed."

"Yes, the leaves can be fed to pigs, and the sweet potatoes below can be eaten by humans. This thing is so good." When Mrs. Liu heard that the harvest was so good, her heart suddenly moved.

——Since sweet potatoes are so easy to grow and the harvest is so good, can she ask her parents to plant them next year?

The yard of the Zhu family was very lively. Everyone was talking around the sweet potatoes in their baskets, and they were very happy.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, who couldn't wait for a good harvest, asked: "Mom, when are we going to harvest?"

"Harvest in batches," Ye Yuran said, "These sweet potatoes are big and small, and it looks like they should be able to grow longer. We just need to harvest them before the autumn harvest, so as not to delay the autumn harvest."

"Mom, I'm not worried about the sweet potatoes in the fields." Mrs. Li thought of something and said, "Mom, think about it, our sweet potatoes are about to be harvested. People in the village will definitely hear the news, and there won't be anyone there by then.

Come to our field to watch the fun? Just one or two. What if someone gets jealous and gets interested in our sweet potatoes?"

"You have to be careful about this," Ms. Lin said immediately after hearing this, "Mom, it's still some time before the autumn harvest, and some families in the village are already starting to go hungry. If our family harvests food at this time, they will definitely be jealous. This is no use.

No need to say anything.”

"Mom, I've heard about it too," Mrs. Liu also stood up and said, "The big-mouthed family next door has already started to drink porridge. It's very thin, so thin that you can even bottom it out."

"Last time, I heard Big Mouth scolding her daughter-in-law for being greedy and stealing food from the house." Mrs. Li added next to her, "Later, the two grandsons were crying there, saying that they were hungry and Big Mouth's daughter-in-law was taking food."

Give it to them to eat.”

…

Ye Yuran really didn't pay much attention to it. At this time last year, the Zhu family had already lowered their food standards and ate gruel like the people in the village.

But this year was different. Yanzhi Fangzi made a fortune. Although he later built a new house, there was still some coarse grains he bought.

In addition to the monthly market, Li will take Zhu Bamei to the market to sell soy sauce, hand strings and the like, which can help subsidize the family.

And she also knew in her mind when the spring sweet potatoes would be harvested, and she wasn't worried about not being able to survive the autumn harvest, so she didn't lower her family's food standards.

"Okay, when Zhu Da and the others come back, we can discuss it and harvest the sweet potatoes in the next few days." Ye Yuran pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how much or how little you harvest, please keep your mouths shut.

It’s nonsense outside.”

A group of people quickly agreed.

But after everyone dispersed, Mrs. Liu sneaked around and stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" Ye Yuran knew something was wrong with her as soon as he saw her expression.

I just don't know what can happen to her at this time.

"Mom, can I discuss something with you?" Mrs. Liu asked very carefully, she said, "It's still some time before the autumn harvest, and my mother-in-law's family can't hold on any longer. I wonder...can I spread some sweet potatoes?

To my mother-in-law?"

"Your mother's family?"

Mrs. Liu quickly added: "Mom, don't worry, it's even now. When the autumn harvest comes, my parents will definitely pay it back. I had wanted to say this before, but I didn't think there was much food at home, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to survive the autumn harvest.

, I didn’t mention it. But it’s different now. Our sweet potatoes are about to be harvested now, so I thought..."

She looked at Ye Yuran pleadingly, fearing that she would not agree.

"The Zhu family has several daughters-in-law. If you ask, others will definitely ask too. How much do you think is appropriate for me to borrow?" Although Ye Yuran didn't think about "borrowing food", Mrs. Liu made this comment.

It’s not surprising if you think about it for a moment.

After she traveled through time last year, the Zhu family was so poor that they only had porridge. If she hadn't dug some wild sweet potatoes in the mountains, we still don't know what would have happened next.

Later, it was not impossible for several daughters-in-law to secretly steal sweet potatoes from home behind her back.

It's just that for various reasons, she didn't delve into it.

"Uh..." Ms. Liu said weakly, "I don't know."

How could she dare to be the boss of her mother-in-law? She "stole" something last year, but she had no choice but to do so. Later, her mother-in-law forced them to use various methods to "vomit" back the things they "stolen" from her parents' house.

She didn't dare to act rashly this year. There were so many pairs of eyes staring at her and so many people trying to pull her pigtails. If she was really caught, her end would be even worse.

"When the sweet potatoes are harvested, let's discuss it." Ye Yuran said, "You can borrow it, how much you can borrow, and how to return it. All these must be explained clearly first. One is one, and two is two. Since you married into my Zhu family

, your mother-in-law’s family is in trouble, and I won’t be able to do nothing to save you. But the ugly thing is, if you want to eat well, it’s impossible. You also know that most of these sweet potatoes should be kept except for eating at home.

Plant seeds. Otherwise, next year every household will follow our family and plant sweet potatoes, and there will be no seedlings. You can also think about the trouble you will have."

"Mom, don't worry. I don't want to eat well. I just want to eat something with a dry mouth and not starve to death." Mrs. Liu is not stupid. She has done everything possible at this time. If she angers her mother-in-law, she will plant seeds next year.

Does her natal family still have a share of sweet potatoes?

After working with my mother-in-law for a long time, one of the things I learned the most is that you need to have a plan and think long-term when doing things.
