Chu Yunli was still making porridge at noon, and cut a big bone into it. Soon he could smell the aroma of meat, which made people salivate. During this period, the children in the third and fourth bedrooms looked out several times.
After the porridge was cooked, Chu Yunli took out the steamed buns bought from the town and sat across from Liu Zian to eat.
Liu Zian held the buns in his hands and was reluctant to eat them. He recalled: "The last time I ate buns was when my father was here. At that time, my dad would bring one for me every time he went out on the street."
Liu Ping was a very simple farmer, and in Li Nianqiu's memory, she actually couldn't let go of him. If life hadn't been so difficult, she might not have remarried.
Chu Yunli never likes to mention people who feel sad when they mention it. She smiled and said: "I will buy it for you when I go to the street in the future, so that you can eat enough."
Hearing this, Liu Zian came back to his senses. The bun in his hand was so delicious that he couldn't help but take a bite. He glanced at his mother several times and asked tentatively: "Is this really the trick that the fairy grandpa gave you?"
Chu Yunli asked: "Otherwise? Where can I go to learn?"
No one in the village knew how to refine sugar, let alone how to make the sugar contain less stone and sand. Li Nianqiu had only been to the town a handful of times since she was a child. If the gods hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known it.
Therefore, even if outsiders don’t believe it, they have to believe it.
Many people who heard about this incident envied Li Nianqiu's good luck. Some people who believed in fate swore firmly: "What kind of life this person will live in his life is determined. Li Nianqiu is the one who is...
The Lord of Hell made a mistake in his fortune-telling, and this is how he came to make up for it. If you don’t believe me, just look at it, she will only get better and better in the future!”
It sounds like it's true.
Some people don’t believe it: “What if she spends all this windfall and becomes poor again?”
The woman who believed in her fate changed her eyes and said, "That means that the Lord of Hell made a miscalculation again and took back the money."
Everyone: "..." This is simply nonsense.
After lunch, Chu Yunli put away the things at home, and then went up the mountain carrying the newly bought hatchet. She could use her skills to quickly cut two bundles of firewood, and picked up some branches to ignite the fire.
Drag it all the way back.
When they returned to the yard, the sun had already set. The Chinese family was planting vegetables in the backyard. Seeing this, Chu Yunli remembered that Li Nianqiu also had a vegetable plot, but now it was lush and green and had been planted.
Chu Yunli liked to be direct and asked: "Sister-in-law, where does this dish come from?"
Mrs. Fang glanced at her and said, "The third brother and sister planted it."
Chu Yunli had already guessed it was her, so Chu Yunli was not surprised.
Xiaoye likes to take advantage of others. Li Nianqiu has never heard of her planting vegetables in this vegetable field.
For people in the countryside, the land is their lifeblood. It would be very rude for Xiaoye to just start planting in it without saying hello. Even Chu Yunli had been back for a long time, and the two of them had not talked, but she had not spoken from the beginning to the end.
Why are you pretending to be stupid when you mention this?
Chu Yunli had to live in the yard for a while, but she couldn't let people think that she was a clay figure that anyone could pinch. Thinking of this, she went straight to the fields to pull vegetables.
They plucked a lot of them at once, took them back to the yard and washed them. If they couldn't finish eating, they salted them with the salt they just bought.
Here they were happily pickling vegetables, and over there Xiaoye happened to take a look at her vegetable patch, and immediately realized something was wrong. Looking at the pickling process in the yard, what else didn't she understand?
Immediately he became furious and came over to Chu Yunli with his hands on his hips and asked, "You stole my food?"
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "No!"
Xiao Ye: "..." The dishes are still placed here, how could she have the nerve to say this?
She pointed to the pile of vegetables: "You didn't steal it, so where did you get these vegetables?"
Chu Yunli said seriously: "I pulled it from my own vegetable field." She also said proudly: "Look, is my field very fat? These wild vegetables grow so well!"
Xiaoye was so angry that she lost her voice: "What kind of thing is wild? I grew it! I don't care if you take it for yourself or steal it. I said you are a thief. It turns out you are right..."
Chu Yunli picked up a basin of water for washing vegetables and poured it over.
Xiaoye's body was soaked directly. Her eyes widened and she wiped the water from her face and head: "You stole my food, and you even splashed it on me!"
Chu Yunli poured another basin of water over and said coldly: "You said the word 'steal' again?"
Xiao Ye received two basins of water in a row. Although it was summer, the sun had already set. The two basins of water were poured on her body and the wind blew, which made her feel cold.
After arguing and arguing, Xiaoye felt a little aggrieved: "I grew that vegetable!"
Chu Yunli sneered: "That land is still mine. You didn't tell me when you planted it! I saw vegetables growing in my vegetable field and thought they were wild. I pulled the vegetables in my own field.
Who are you bothering? Why did you just steal it?"
Xiaoye was so angry that she was shaking all over: "How can wild vegetables grow so well? Aren't you telling lies with your eyes wide open?"
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously: "I thought it was my land. Even if you planted it, don't you have to pay rent for growing the land? If I pull the vegetables, it will be regarded as the rent you gave me."
Xiaoye: "..." That makes sense.
It was too cold, and seeing that there was no result from the discussion, Xiaoye had to go back to the room and change clothes.
When she came out again, Chu Yunli's pickled vegetables had already been put into the jar, and he said to her: "I have also collected the rent. You should quickly pull out the vegetables in the field. I want to plant that land!"
Xiao Ye just felt aggrieved. She had always taken advantage of others, and she had never been picked off like this before. She couldn't help but said: "You mother and son can't eat much vegetables. From now on, I will plant them and you can just pull them out."
When I give the rent."
"No." No one in the countryside would mind having too much land. That vegetable plot is enough for seven or eight people to eat. Chu Yunli refused without thinking: "Even if I want to rent it, I won't rent it to you."
Xiaoye was speechless and said angrily: "Do you want to rent it to your sister-in-law?"
Chu Yunli pays great attention to these relationships when she speaks. If she admits it, Xiaoye's anger will definitely be directed at Fang.
From Li Nianqiu to what she is now, Mrs. Fang has helped her a lot. Of course Chu Yunli can't do this kind of thing, and said directly: "I have hands and feet, why should I plant for others? Besides, who should I plant for?
none of your business?"
Xiao Ye finally discovered that this second sister-in-law was targeting her.
Chu Yunli had just settled down and was actually quite busy. After pickling the vegetables, she started making dinner again.
After dinner, she also cooked the remaining bone. After dinner, she boiled water to wash herself. Seeing that the clothes she had changed were full of patches, she lit a candle and started tailoring again.
She had no intention of wearing those rags anymore.
It was hard to sleep with the candle light on. She looked at Liu Zian who was sitting on the bed next to her: "Zian, go sleep in the inner room. I have to stay up late tonight."
Liu Zian shook his head: "Mom, we have clothes to wear, so don't stay up late."
Chu Yunli smiled and asked, "Don't you want to wear new clothes?"
"Think about it!" Liu Zian got off the bed, jumped onto the chair next to Chu Yunli and sat down: "I'll stay with you."
What kind of night should a half-grown child stay up?
Chu Yunli wanted to refuse, but saw that Liu Zian was already in trouble, so she didn't stop him.
Sure enough, he fell asleep soon after.
Chu Yunli carried him into the inner room and covered him with a quilt.
If there were no embroidery on the clothes, they would be made very quickly. Chu Yunli finished making a suit for him. It was already midnight and he had cut his own material. It was already dawn outside.
She put down her work and went out, but Fang had already gotten up. Seeing her coming out, he was quite surprised: "Is it so early?"
Chu Yunli nodded and said softly: "Sister-in-law, please take a look at it for me."
As for the candy she gave her yesterday, Ms. Fang readily accepted it without saying anything about going out to work.
How should I put it? Yesterday, Chu Yunli asked her to ask for help. Fang thought that she was helping, so she had to choose a time that was convenient for her. Today was different, she felt that she was returning a favor.
Chu Yunli didn't care what she was thinking, dragged the cart out, and asked: "Sister-in-law, is there anything you need help carrying?"
There were too many things she wanted to buy. Fang shook her head: "No."
The autumn harvest is around the corner, and every household is not well off. Basically, the best time for shops in the town will be a month later. At that time, every household has just harvested grain, so they will be more generous when buying things.
Most of the things he wanted to buy were bought yesterday. Chu Yunli went to town again today, mainly to buy meat.
Nowadays, both mother and son are in poor health, and they have to make up for themselves first. So, as soon as she arrived in town, Chu Yunli went straight to the butcher shop and bought a few hens, the kind that can lay eggs when she takes them back.
After I finished shopping, I was walking back. I was so impressed. Along the way, I met a lot of people coming to town.
When we were about to arrive at Chenjiacun, we saw Chen Changfu coming from a distance.
Chu Yunli didn't say hello to him and planned to miss it directly.
Chen Changfu saw her, saw the chicken and meat on her cart, and a paper bag hanging on the cart.
Anything wrapped in paper is edible.
Sure enough, it was posted!
The two were about to pass by each other when Chen Changfu stopped her: "Nianqiu, do you want to come back?"
Chu Yunli: "..." Which eye did he see?
Now that she had money on hand, mother and son could have enough to eat and wear new clothes. She was so stupid that she went back. She rolled her eyes secretly: "That's not the case."
Chen Changfu was a little unwilling: "Actually, I really plan to live with you for the rest of my life. We can still discuss the matter of Chuanyuan!"
"No need to discuss." Chu Yunli said sternly: "Even if you send him home right now, I won't be able to come back. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
Chen Changfu only felt an empty space in his heart.
Looking at the cold-faced woman in front of him, he felt that she had changed. She used to be full of sadness, but now her face was smooth, and her whole temperament seemed to be different. She seemed cheerful and indifferent, but she was alienated, which attracted
People get closer to her, but they clearly understand that they can't get closer.
Chen Changfu didn't want to admit that she gave up on him, so he couldn't help but said: "If you don't want to come back, I will marry someone else!"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "That's your business."
Chen Changfu: "..."
He did have the idea of marrying again, but after the divorce, he didn't even have time to think about it. The reason why he mentioned it just now was just to test her.
Seeing how casual she was, Chen Changfu knew in his heart that she would never look back.
At this moment, Chen Changfu was murmuring in his heart. Is it right or wrong to take Chen Chuanyuan back...?
In fact, he already had an answer in his heart. The father of the new No. 1 scholar is far away, and Chen Chuanyuan has not yet found his wife. But it is real that he has lost such a money tree!
The money tree is gone, so he will seize the rest no matter what. In two days, he will send his son to study!
