The one who came back was the old girl Su Funiang.
She has a very fierce temper and does things neatly. Even though she is only fourteen years old, she does all the errands at home and abroad.
In order to supplement the family income, the three daughters-in-law all did embroidery work. Su Funiang was not very good at embroidery, but when she went to the embroidery shop to get the work and then handed over the work, she did it smoothly.
I went out early in the morning to deliver goods to the embroidery shop in Qingniu County. Listening to this tone, I got more reward money.
Seeing Chen Yu, Su Funiang trotted over and hugged Chen Yu's arm: "Mom, here."
The heavy bag of money fell into Chen Yu's hands, and Su Funiang said proudly: "The manager gave me ten more coins to praise our family's craftsmanship."
"Separate the money later, and give the money to whoever does the work, and reward you." Chen Yu said.
Su Funiang frowned: "Mom, what's going on at home? Why are you talking like that?"
"It's okay." Chen Yu said and bent down to hug Su Yunuan: "Fu Niang, I went to pick up Qianxiu and the others. They said they went to dig wild vegetables and didn't come back for a day."
Su Funiang took a deep breath, glanced at Su Shiming's room suspiciously, and nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'll go first."
The angry Su Fu Niang carried the basket and went out.
Su Zhuyin pursed his lips. He also wanted to follow his sister-in-law to dig wild vegetables, but his mother didn't allow it. She was afraid that Qian Xiu and the others would be taken care of after getting sick. Su Zhuyin secretly went to dig wild vegetables in the morning and was taken away by his fourth uncle. What he said
Dare not say.
Mrs. Li came out of the house: "Mom, please have a bite to eat first. It's been half an hour."
"I'm not hungry. I'll go see your third sister-in-law later." Chen Yu put down the obedient Su Yunuan in his arms and took her hand into the house. Su Zhuyin followed nervously.
On the kang, Mrs. Cui had recovered a lot. She leaned against the wall and looked at Chen Yu and the two children who came in. Her lips trembled and she shed tears: "Mom, thank you for saving my life."
"Don't talk about that." Chen Yu looked at the pieces of meat in the big bowl next to him and frowned: "Do you want to keep it for your child?"
Ms. Cui sighed, as a mother who eats chicken and drinks chicken soup, how can she forget that she still has a child?
Chen Yu sat by the bed: "You have to be careful when you are sick, and you will be able to live up to others, especially when the children are young. Besides, if you eat more good food, your body will be cured, and your disease will be cured in the long run."
Life can hurt a child, not just this moment."
"Mom, I have burdened Sanlang and the two children, and I feel very sorry." Mrs. Cui lowered her head as she spoke, and tears fell on her clothes drop by drop.
Chen Yu took Cui's hand.
Mrs. Cui wanted to avoid it, but she didn't have the strength, so she said nervously: "Mom, my illness..."
"Your illness can be cured, and you're not dragging anyone down. If you don't hope for your own recovery, and Saburo is only in his twenties, you should think about whether he can protect you, right? If you can't, you'll have to renew your relationship.
How will you and your two children survive if they are left in the hands of your stepmother?" Chen Yu patted Cui's hand: "As for me, let me give you a guarantee. This disease will definitely be cured. You have to cooperate with me.
That’s all.”
Ms. Cui never dared to think about getting better from this problem. She felt that at most she would just have to endure the day. It was her two children who worried her. When Chen Yu said this, she felt angry and unwilling.
The human heart is made of flesh, and no matter how soft-tempered you are, you can clearly see what is good and what is good. In the eyes of the husband, apart from those books, where can he and his children fit in? If he really died, his children would have no way to survive.
"Mom, I want to live!" Ms. Cui looked at Chen Yu with bright eyes.
Chen Yu nodded: "Then eat all the food. You can eat whatever you want later. I won't tell you if you have more. I'll cure you in half a year."
"Mom, why haven't I seen you have such an ability before?" Ms. Cui is not a fool. Her mother-in-law used to be very mean and was very good at teasing others. She has never seen her capable of prescribing medicinal needles.
Chen Yu choked, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with an inscrutable look: "Is it any wonder that someone who has died once knows some skills? You are young and have little experience."
Ms. Cui: “……!!!”
In the evening, Su Shi'an came back with his two brothers and medicine.
Chen Yu opened it and took a look, but all of them were right. He looked at the three sons in front of him with some suspicion.
"Mom, Lao Liu has a very bright mind and remembers it all." Su Shi'an put the money bag in front of Chen Yu: "Three of those books were sold, and the rest were taken back."
Chen Yu took the money bag and opened it. After taking out three strings of copper plates, there were still two pieces of silver in it. She couldn't help but frown: "How much did it sell for?"
How can I, a modern person, make money? Moreover, the silver is not large and shapeless, let alone small pieces. It is as big as a fingernail. Who knows how much it is?
"There are five taels of silver in total. I spent one and a half on the medicine, and the rest is inside, three taels of silver and three hundred copper coins." Su Shi'an reported the account in a strict manner.
Chen Yu put the copper plate aside, took the smallest piece of silver and weighed it in his hand. As a person who has been playing with traditional Chinese medicine for many years, he is still very accurate about the amount of one or two coins, so he collected all the money knowingly.
.
The whole family sat down to eat. Chen Yu and several of his sons shared a table with wild vegetable porridge, steamed wild vegetable pancakes, and some pickles made from wild vegetables, which was enough to satisfy their hunger.
Mrs. Zheng took Fu Niang, the fifth daughter-in-law and five children to sit at the same table. The two children had steamed pancakes each and each had a bowl of porridge. Thanks to the fact that the eldest grandson was only ten years old, he could still eat most of the food.
.
After taking a bite of the steamed pancake, Chen Yu wanted to cry.
This is not about following the trend of remembering hardships and thinking about sweetness, but living day by day. Being able to eat steamed pancakes and wild vegetable porridge is thanks to the abundance of wild vegetables on Laojun Mountain behind. Otherwise, the whole family would have to eat rice porridge and bran.
I couldn't bear to throw it away and make it into thin porridge to satisfy my hunger.
"Yue'e." Chen Yu said.
Ms. Zheng quickly put down her chopsticks and came over: "Mom, what's the matter?"
"Didn't I ask you to give the children a share of the chicken?" Chen Yu said, "When the children are growing up."
Mrs. Zheng smiled: "Mom, I asked, and Brother Qianxiu said that he would leave it to Third Aunt. The children's filial piety cannot go in vain, right? I'm keeping the chicken soup warm. I'll send it to Liangxiu when he wakes up.
"
Chen Yu felt a little ashamed. Seeing the children hunched over their meals, Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, okay, the children are very sensible."
What I’m thinking about is going to have my meat cut tomorrow!
If you can’t even eat well, what’s the point of living? Then make money! Isn’t it just because you don’t have money? Go and earn it yourself!
Chen Yu, who claimed to be a gourmet, was chewing steamed pancakes and carefully recalling the plot in the book. He suddenly looked up at his sons in front of him, his heart sank, and he asked: "Where did the fourth child go?"
Su Shi'an put down his chopsticks: "Mom, the fourth child is gone, don't be sad, I promise I'll be back tomorrow."
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and was secretly happy. It's good to leave. What's the use of being a scourge? Don't come back. He doesn't want to die. This family, big and small, is all about human life, so he can't die!
