After the straw sandals were finished, Mu Siyu used old cloth to make the outer cover. After all, the newly knitted straw sandals were somewhat prickly, and she didn't want Lu Zhiyun's feet to be pricked.
"Xiaoyun'er, come here and try to see if the size fits."
Lu Zhiyun looked back and saw something strange like a shoe in Mu Siyu's hand, and walked over curiously.
Lu Xuan stopped teaching, his words full of disgust: "What is this? Can you wear it?"
"Of course they are not as good-looking as cloth shoes, but I don't have money to buy shoes for the time being! When I have money, I will buy beautiful embroidered shoes for Xiao Yun'er."
The original twenty taels of silver were used to repay Dr. Zhu's medical fee of twelve taels, and the remaining eight taels allowed Lu Yi to return the money to the classmate who lent him the money when he attended Fang Zhuoyu's banquet.
So far, he still owes his classmate more than ten taels of silver, and Lu Xuan still has to take medicine. Therefore, if he wants to improve his life, he must earn money.
"It looks good." Lu Zhiyun said softly.
Mu Siyu touched Lu Zhiyun's hair: "Let's just wait for a while. When mother earns money, the first thing I will do is buy you shoes."
"Well, I believe mom." Lu Zhiyun looked at her trustingly.
Mu Siyu looked at her deer-like eyes and liked her so much that she once again cursed the original owner in her heart that this vicious cannon fodder was not worthy of being a mother.
Lu Zhiyun put on her straw sandals and curiously raised her feet and looked again and again.
"Brother, look at my new shoes, they look good."
Lu Shaoyu snorted: "What's there to see?"
His disgusted look was exactly the same as Lu Xuan's. If he hadn't looked exactly like Lu Yi, he would have thought his father was not Lu Yi but Lu Xuan.
Bah! If the body she traveled through was really Lu Xuan's wife, with Lu Xuan's poisonous tongue, she wouldn't have to live in this ancient time and space, she would just hit the wall and be done with it.
After solving the problem of Lu Zhiyun's bare feet, Mu Siyu continued to work on the unfinished work.
Lu Zhiyun became more and more attached to her, standing next to her and passing her this and that.
Mu Siyu was worried that there were too many things here, and if she accidentally fell, she would be in trouble wherever she touched. But looking at her expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything to chase her away, so he had to slow down and cooperate with her.
Bang, bang, bang! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
She was doing the tedious carpentry work very quickly, as if she had done it thousands of times before.
Lu Shaoyu looked at Mu Siyu thoughtfully with complicated eyes.
Who is she?
At night, Lu Yi came back carrying two pheasants.
Lu Shaoyu was a little disappointed.
Two pheasants were not worth much, and they were far from enough money for Lu Xuan to take medicine.
"Sister." Mu Zhenghan panted as he walked through the door carrying two rabbits. "Look...the rabbits I caught."
Mu Siyu was washing the big pot. After listening to his words, she came out to take a look. When she saw Mu Zhenghan carrying two lively rabbits, she said in surprise: "Awesome! Young man."
Mu Zhenghan scratched his head and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"My brother-in-law taught me how to do it, and I made a rabbit nest."
"That's right. It's good to have a harvest for the first time. Tomorrow you and your brother-in-law will go to the city and sell the rabbits."
Mu Zhenghan and Tong wanted to live alone, but they couldn't do it without money, so they could just keep it with them.
"Yeah!" Mu Zhenghan's eyes brightened.
After putting away the rabbit, Mu Zhenghan went in to see Mrs. Tong.
The voices of mother and son came from inside.
Tong has a gentle temperament. Without Jiang's torture, she doesn't have to suppress her true self. She cares and worries for Mu Zhenghan both in and out of her words, making the latter feel a warmth that he has never experienced since he was a child.
"Mom, I will definitely learn from my brother-in-law. I don't expect to catch big things like my brother-in-law. Even if I only catch small prey, it will keep us two alive."
"When my mother is well, I will go to the village chief and tell her that there is still a lot of wasteland in the village. I will open up the wasteland and we two will support ourselves." Mrs. Tong swallowed more. "It's just a hard work for my son."
Mu Siyu came out with hot water and said to Lu Yi: "This is bath water. I will carry it to the back for you."
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then he said yes and went back to the house to get a change of clothes.
"When did my brother take a bath with hot water?" Lu Xuan muttered. "Isn't he also bribed by this woman?"
Although Lu Xuan also felt that Mu Siyu had changed a lot and was no longer the same as before, he never thought that she had changed into a different person. He only thought that Mu Siyu had finally found her conscience and knew how to live a good life.
But it was impossible for him to accept Mu Siyu like this.
From top to bottom, from left to right, from inside to outside, how could this woman be worthy of his brother?
The next day, Mu Zhenghan and Lu Yi went into the city to sell game.
The two rabbits were sold for sixty cents. He wanted to give them to Lu Yi and Mu Siyu, but they both refused.
Lu Yi exchanged the forty coins he earned from selling pheasants for grain, and carried it back to Mu Siyu. Apart from anything else, at least there would be enough grain for a month so that the family would not go hungry.
While everyone was busy with their own work, Mu Siyu's large piece was completed.
"What is this?" Lu Shaoyu asked.
"Look..." Mu Siyu unfolded the wooden board, and after some adjustments, the square wooden board turned into a large bed. "When you don't use it, put it away like just now. When you rest, just put it away.
Unfold it and it becomes a big bed. Isn’t it very space-saving?”
If it weren't for lack of time and parts, it could be made more gorgeous. However, it would be nice to have a bed at this time, so don't think about anything else.
"How can you think of such a good thing?" Lu Xuan rarely praised her, but his tone was not very good.
Mu Siyu just pretended not to hear it. Anyway, this yandere boy hates her, no, hates the original owner. If one day she hears nice words from his mouth, it will be the sun rising in the west.
Just at this time, Lu Yi came back carrying a deer.
"Wow, brother..." Lu Xuan exclaimed. "Did you hunt such a big deer today?"
Deer is a good thing, and the rich people in the city like to use it to replenish their health.
Lu Yi put the deer down. Because the deer was still alive, it kept struggling when he carried it back, making him covered in sweat.
He nodded to Lu Xuan, took a bucket of water from the kitchen and went to wash up in the back.
Lu Shaoyu and Lu Zhiyun both looked around the deer.
Mu Zhenghan limped in from behind. He wanted to sneak into the room secretly, but Mu Siyu saw him.
"Brother Han."
Mu Zhenghan froze and stood on the spot.
Mu Siyu looked at him: "Injured?"
Mu Zhenghan scratched his hair in embarrassment: "I got kicked by a deer. It's okay. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."
"I'll get you some medicine."
Lu Yi came out of the shower and saw the bed in the yard, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, this deer can definitely be sold for a lot of money." Lu Xuan was very happy.
Lu Yi's attention was on the bed.
"She did it?"
When Lu Xuan looked at the bed, the excitement on his face faded a little, and he nodded and said, "Yes! This is what she has been tinkering with during this period. I didn't expect her to be able to do anything, but I didn't expect that she is actually quite capable."
Lu Yi was thoughtful.
First the box, then the wooden statue, and then the bed. Could it be that she used to be a master carpenter?
