Sensing that her shoulders were empty, Chu Yue looked behind her in surprise.
"Ms. sir, if you're not reading in the room, why are you following us?"
Lu Xinghe passed a few people with a hoe, "Plow up those pieces of land, and I'll come back and read."
Chu Yue caught up with him with a smile, "How did you know that I wanted to plant vegetables in the field?"
The corners of Lu Xinghe's lips rose, "Guess."
Chu Yue looked at the hoe on his shoulder, then at the vegetable seeds in her hand, and there was something she couldn't guess.
After all, her husband-in-law was smart and she could tell at a glance, but he was willing to share the burden, which was what made her happiest.
In a short time, the four of them arrived at the old house.
The soil in front of the old house is very loose, and no matter how good the radish grows, a big radish can be obtained by pulling it out easily. It doesn’t take much effort at all. In a short while, all the radishes in the two fields were pulled out by the three of them.
After harvesting the vegetables, the soil on the ground was relatively loose. After Lu Xinghe cleared and leveled the cabbage piles on the ground, the two Lu Xingping brothers followed behind to chase the bottom fertilizer.
Chu Yue twisted off all the radish leaves, put the radish into the basket, and stuffed all the leaves into the basket.
After she had almost finished processing the radishes, Lu Xinghe had already tidied up the three ridges of land. He stopped the hoe to take a breath.
"Put the radishes there first, and I'll carry them back after I've finished harvesting them."
"Why."
Chu Yue put the basket and basket together and went to help in the fields.
After Lu Xinghe finished hoeing the land, he went home with a basket on his back and left the work of planting and topdressing the land to brothers Chu Yue and Lu Xingping.
When the three of them finished working in the fields, Lu Xinghe led the mule and delivered four more buckets of water.
While unloading the water from the mule's back, he said, "When I went back just now, I borrowed two buckets from my grandma. With this mule here, it will be much easier for us to water the water in the future."
Chu Yue looked at the four buckets of water and said with a smile, "Ms. sir, your method is really good. This way we don't have to run back and forth every time we water. The problem can be solved in one trip."
Lu Xinghe hummed, "When the time comes, ask the craftsmen in the village to make two more barrels, and also equip the mule with a carriage. It will be much more convenient next time we go out."
Hearing this, Lu Xingping couldn't help but stood up and asked, "Brother, can Brother Sanmao make carriages?"
"I'm not very good at it, but I can provide him with drawings and ideas." Lu Xinghe said while helping Chu Yue water the water. "It costs at least eighty taels to buy a carriage in town. If you ask someone from the village to do it, plus The wood can cost no more than three taels of silver at most.”
Chu Yue nodded, "Okay, then let's find people in the village to do it. It's better to save whatever you can."
"Hey! Xinghe, did you buy a mule in your house?"
While several people were busy, a voice came from outside the hospital.
Lu Xinghe stood up and looked around. When he saw it was Sun Dazhu's mother, Mrs. Li, he just nodded slightly towards her, said yes and continued to water the water.
When Mrs. Li saw that no one here wanted to pay attention to her, she snorted coldly and left angrily.
When she returned to the house, she began to scold Sun Dazhu, "You said that you, an elm pimple, won 20 cents when you brought water from the well, so you can't get more points? Now there is a lot of money in the house. Who still remembers who you are? Look at the people in Lu Xinghe's house. The old lady just greeted them, and no one even looked at me. If they look down on me, isn't it just a slap in your face? "
Luo Shi on the side rolled his eyes at her.
"Mom, if you want to be respected by others, you must first behave like an elder. Before, you were begging for pig's trotters and vegetables. If you take advantage of it, who would like it?"
A few days ago, I finally sent her to the old house to clean up for a period of time. As a result, the market has been bad recently. The price of pork seems to be rising. I didn't buy meat for her this month, so she came to the family again. It's so wonderful to have such a thing. Her mother-in-law was here, and she didn't even think about it for a moment.
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Li pointed at her and cursed, "You are a typical person who puts powder into the coffin to save face. Why can't you eat or drink? What's wrong with begging for food? I didn't dig up his ancestral graves." .”
"You will never reflect on yourself. You always feel that you are right. How come you have such a big face?"
Sun Dazhu scratched his head irritably when he saw his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolding each other when they disagreed.
"Mom, please stop arguing and live a good life, can't you?" He then looked at Luo Shi, "You too, Luo Shi, why are you talking to mom?"
Luo Shi had been very angry during this period, but now he felt aggrieved after listening to Sun Dazhu's words.
This was the first time he called himself Luo Shi.
The key point is that Mrs. Li not only did not break up the fight, but also stepped in at the right time. "It's not just a day or two that she treats the old woman like this. She can't even talk about the most basic filial piety. She doesn't know that when you were in your parents' home, your parents were How did you teach me? If I had known you were so uneducated, I shouldn't have let Dazhu marry you, and I wouldn't have ruined my good grandson's education."
After hearing this, Luo Shi felt his blood surge and his whole body trembled.
Seeing her like this, Sun Dazhu was a little frightened. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab her arm, "Daughter-in-law..."
"Don't touch me!" Luo Shi looked at Sun Dazhu, with disappointment and grievance in his eyes, "Sun Dazhu, I misjudged you. Anyway, I don't want to live with her today. You can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, he took off his apron with red eyes, threw it on the ground, and went out.
Seeing this, Sun Dazhu wanted to chase Luo Shi, but was held back by Mrs. Li forcefully.
"Don't chase her, let her go. I think this Luo Shi has been spoiled by you. She has already married you and had three children. I don't believe she can come back."
"Mother!" Sun Dazhu shook off Granny Li hard, "I beg you, just go back to your old house. Don't you remember how you treated her in the past?"
He pointed in the direction Luo Shi left.
"She was suffering from pregnancy at that time. She would vomit whatever she ate. When she was so tired that she lay in the house and couldn't get up, you killed the chicken and didn't even give her a sip of the soup. She got better later and only saw the chicken feathers in front of the house. I know that my family killed chickens and ate them.”
"She gave birth to our eldest son in the winter. The birth was originally difficult. The day after the birth, you took advantage of me to go out to work and asked her to wash the whole family's clothes. As a result, she suffered heavy bleeding and almost killed her. , I won’t list all the subsequent incidents. At that time, I strongly requested to separate the family because I couldn’t stand you. Instead of you acting like an elder, she wouldn’t be like this. Now that I can agree to continue raising you at home, I have already agreed. Very grateful.”
Thinking of Luo Shi's past life, Sun Dazhu burst into tears. If the two of them hadn't quarreled with him just now, he would not be cruel to her at all. When he thought of Luo Shi being wronged and leaving, he felt guilty and worried.
Sun Dazhu knelt down towards Granny Li.
"Mom, just think of me as begging you, just let me go. I don't want our family to be broken up, and I don't want our three children to be without my mother. You can go back to your old house. I promise, as long as I still have something to eat at home. , you will never be hungry.”
