Chapter 17 Lu Zhi's Daughter-In-Law Is More Difficult than Before
Sanya thought for a while and told everything about what happened in the town.
When Lu Dabao and Erbao heard that the eel was sold for more than 600 yuan, they both looked at Li Tannian in surprise.
At this time, Li Tannian had already boiled the sheep and scorpions in the brine.
Sheep and scorpions are resistant to boiling. When Li Tannian saw that there was not much water in the water tank, he picked up the wooden bucket and asked Erbao to watch the fire while he went to the well to fetch water.
No one in the village has a private well, and usually several households share one well.
Li Tannian walked in the direction he remembered, turned left when he went out, and walked directly into the forest. Sure enough, he saw a well blocked by a cover.
There was no windlass beside the well, only a bamboo pole with a small hole drilled on the other end. Li Tannian tied the rope to the small hole and sank the bucket into the well.
"Stepmother!" Outside the forest, Sanya came over with short legs and a wooden bucket in her hand, "I'll help you carry some."
Li Tannian frowned. The little guy is so skinny and small that he can't even mention it. Stop asking questions!
With this thought in his mind, Li Tannian rejected her directly: "No need."
Lifting a bucket of water up, Li Tannian took a few steps forward. Seeing Sanya still watching at the well, he couldn't help frowning and saying: "Why don't you leave quickly? If you fall, no one will catch you."
Sanya was stunned for a moment, and a cheerful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She jumped over and ran over, grinning and saying: "Stepmother, you obviously care about me, right?"
Li Tannian:······
"Shi'er, are you back?" A woman's anxious voice came from far away.
"It's Grandma Yuan San!"
After Sanya finished speaking, Li Tannian saw a woman in her early fifties staggering towards this side.
As soon as Li Tannian recognized her as Feng Shi's mother Yuan Sanniang, he saw her staggering and fell straight to the ground.
"Third Grandma!" Sanya hurried over.
When Li Tannian saw that Yuan Sanniang hadn't gotten up for a long time, he thought she had fallen badly, so he went to help her get up, and saw her touching soybean seeds on the dark ground.
Yuan Sanniang had eye problems, so Li Tannian saw her groping on the ground for a long time without picking up a few soybean seeds, so he simply bent over and helped her pick up all the bean seeds.
"Is this Lu Zhi's wife?" Yuan Sanniang stared at Li Tannian for a long time and finally recognized her.
Unlike other people's meaningful glances when they see her, Yuan Sanniang's eyes are full of smiles, making people feel friendly at first sight.
Li Tannian responded, and his hand was held back by Yuan Sanniang.
"Is Lu Zhi okay?"
"Okay." Li Tannian nodded and spoke concisely. Then, he glanced at the bean seeds in her hand and asked, "Sanniang wants to plant bean seeds?"
"Isn't that right? I also want Ash to go to the town to buy some eggplant seedlings and pepper seedlings. I will plant them in the past few days. The weather is getting warmer, so I can eat some."
Yuan Sanniang seemed to have thought of something and asked her: "How about I ask Ash to buy more and plant some for you ladies so that you can have vegetables to eat later."
"Thank you Sanniang, I can plant it myself."
Li Tannian felt that what Yuan Sanniang said was very reasonable, and she should indeed plant some vegetables.
A few little beans are growing, and they cannot eat meat all the time. A balanced diet requires a combination of meat and vegetables. What Li Tannian didn't know was that her words really shocked Yuan Sanniang.
The Li Tannian in Yuan Sanniang’s memory did not know how to work in the fields!
She wanted to say something else, but she heard Feng Shi's wary voice: "Why are you here?"
"Ashi, what are you talking about? Lu Zhi's wife is here to help me pick up bean seeds. You should be more polite."
Yuan Sanniang scolded her son, and Feng Shi was stunned. This woman Li Tannian was very difficult to deal with, and he was afraid of her from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you still standing there? Come help me." Seeing Feng Shi still standing there, Li Tannian couldn't help but frown.
Feng Shi hurried over, and Li Tannian didn't say much, just picked up the barrel and left.
"Third Grandma, Uncle Feng, let's go." Sanya followed. Feng Shi looked at Li Tannian's figure strangely and couldn't help but ask his mother, "Mom, is she really just here to help you?"
Yuan Sanniang raised her hand and patted Feng Shi on the back of the head: "You have been thinking about all these things all day, no wonder no girl likes you! Lu Zhi's wife must be angry, you can talk nonsense in front of her in the future!"
Feng Shi curled his lips, that woman was so thick-skinned, she didn't seem to be angry about this.
On the other side, after Li Tannian carried the water back, he stared at the open space in the courtyard in a daze for a while.
Thinking of Yuan Sanniang's words just now, she directly carried a hoe and went over to dig up the ground, planning to make use of the empty courtyard first.
The hoe at home has obviously not been used for a long time and has become rusty. Digging is not only laborious but also wastes time.
She dug for a quarter of an hour, but could only dig out a small piece of land.
The four children on the side saw Li Tannian digging in the soil, and suddenly became uneasy again. They frequently looked towards the east side, fearing that their father would be buried alive by his stepmother before he died.
But later, when they saw that the stepmother was just digging the ground and had no intention of digging a hole to bury anyone, the little beans finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Tannian finished digging the land, Feng Shi came.
When he saw the newly dug land in the courtyard, and then looked at the face in front of him that was as ugly as before, he couldn't help but be startled.
Is this still Li Tannian? Li Tannian actually wants to farm?
When his mother told him about this just now, he didn't believe it yet. But...how could a person change so much?
"Uncle Feng Shi!" Sanya was the first to see Feng Shi.
Li Tannian heard the sound and glanced at Feng Shi.
For some reason, being stared at by her cold and cold eyes, Feng Shi suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of guilt.
He coughed dryly and took out the bean seeds his mother gave him: "My mother just asked me to get them for you."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tannian had already averted his eyes and continued to do the work at hand as if he had not seen him.
Feng Shi was embarrassed for a moment, then hurried up: "Nuo, take the bean seeds and plant them."
"No need." Li Tannian refused without thinking.
Feng Shi frowned: "Aren't you digging the ground just for planting? This is my mother's wish. You can keep it if you give it to you."
After saying that, without waiting for her to respond, he handed the bean seeds to Sanya. Sanya glanced at Li Tannian: "Uncle Feng, the stepmother said no..."
The stepmother didn't say she would accept it, so she didn't dare to accept it.
Feng Shi didn't know what to do, he just felt that Li Tannian was a bit more difficult to deal with than before.
