Cao stood at the door and watched Chen Yunyou walk away, then turned around and went back to the yard!

She couldn't help but sigh, "Such a polite child, how could he be born into a family like that!"

Patriarch Chen glanced at his wife and said, "That's enough. I've always told you not to talk about others behind their backs! Be careful not to corrupt our children!"

Seeing that the old man was becoming more rigid again, Cao couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't say anything wrong!" But her voice was much softer!

Seeing her husband glaring at her, Cao knew that her husband was going to scold her at length again.

She simply walked over to the basket, picked up the medicine bag and changed the subject:

"Yun You said that this medicinal herb is good for your cough. I'll go make you a bowl of it!" After saying that, without giving him a chance to talk at length, she picked up the medicine bag and left!

“Hey, you....” When Patriarch Chen wanted to speak, there was no trace of his old wife.

As soon as Chen Yunshan stepped into the house, he heard his father sighing leisurely at his mother's back.

He thought to himself, "Oh no! Did he catch them arguing again?"

He wanted to quietly exit, but his father's eyes were already on him. "Why are you standing in front of the door like an idiot?"

Chen Yunshan scratched his hair and said innocently, "Oh, I just came back to drink some water. It's abnormally hot this day. I just can't stand the heat except for the fact that I can do it!"

The son's words made Patriarch Chen forget to teach his wife. He frowned and asked, "How are the crops growing in the fields now?"

He has been ill for some time, and his husband never allows her to go to the fields to get some fresh air, so she has no idea about the growth of the crops in the fields.

Now that his son mentioned this matter, he became worried!

Chen Yunshan was concerned about his father's condition, so he didn't say it was serious. He only said that the wheat in the field was growing well, but if it still didn't rain in the future, the yield in the field would definitely be reduced!

After hearing what his son said, Patriarch Chen stood up and wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by his son.

"Dad, the doctor said that you shouldn't be exposed to the wind because of your illness. If you have anything to ask, just tell me to do it!"

Because of excitement, Patriarch Chen coughed twice, and he calmed down and said:

"Son, if there is a problem in the fields, Dad, as the clan leader, has the responsibility to lead everyone to find a solution. This is related to the livelihood of our Chen family for the whole year. Dad is worried!"

At this time, Cao came out with the soaked Astragalus water and said with a fierce face: "In this drought, the growth of wheat will naturally decline. Now there is still water in the river bank. Don't they know to water it? Why do you need to worry about it!"

"You've just recovered a little, but you're going to have to torment again. If you go out and get caught in the wind, your symptoms will get worse. You'll be needed for replanting and deployment later, but you're still sick. What will you do?"

Chen Yunshan echoed, "Yes, Dad, the villagers can still handle it now. Look, the big guys haven't come to our door yet!"

"You should take care of your health first. If a drought really occurs later, we will need you to lead us to deal with it!"

Seeing that her husband's expression had relaxed, Cao handed the Huangqi water in her hand to him and said,

"The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. Even if you want to plant more dry crops, that will be next month. You have to know the importance of this!"

The two men's words finally convinced Patriarch Chen.

He had lived for so long and had experienced several famines, so he knew very well what a year like this would mean.

He took the Astragalus water and drank it in one gulp. He had to get well soon so that he could not fail to deliver when the clan leader was needed!

Seeing that she had persuaded her husband, Cao said to her eldest son, "Go and see Chen Ying's family later to see if they have any difficulties."

Seeing that her son was confused, Cao told him what Yun You had asked her to do today.

Cao pointed to the bowl in her husband's hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness. He was in such a difficult situation, but he didn't forget to bring some medicine to your father to replenish his energy and body when he came to visit. We should help him if we can!"

Chief Chen also sighed, "You invited someone to treat me, I'm afraid Chen Yi will be unhappy. It's not easy for the young couple. Dashan, you should pay more attention to them in the village and take care of them!"

Chen Yunshan nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll go check it out right away!" After that, he drank several bowls of water and hurried out.

Chen Yunshan went straight to Chen Yingdian's fields and saw from afar two young children following their brother picking up straw under the scorching sun.

Chen Ying was standing on the roof repairing the roof which had a big hole in it.

This was where he lived when he was on duty in the fields. The thatched hut was old and there were several big holes in the roof.

The weather today is not a big deal during the day, but at night, or if it rains, it would be very difficult to endure!

So as soon as he came, he was busy repairing the house, just to try to build a shelter for the children before dark!

Chen Yunshan came forward and asked Chen Ying and the others directly if they had any difficulties.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Yun You is worried that it will be inconvenient for you two to leave home with three children suddenly. You can't let the children suffer with you!"

Chen Ying was touched by Chen Yunshan's words. After thanking him, he asked Chen Yunshan for some straw.

Because they rented the land from Mr. Chen, they gave all the straw and stalks to Mr. Chen to feed the livestock. The thatch they used for burning firewood was cut from the ridges of the fields and the top of the hills.

Now they need to repair the thatched hut, and the straw they have picked up is definitely not enough. Originally he was still worried about this and was thinking about whether he should ask the owner for help and borrow some!

Now that Chen Yunshan came to him, he agreed to the conversation.

Chen Yunshan said cheerfully: "This is easy to deal with. Just wait, I will go back to get it!" After that, he left in a hurry!

After Chen Yunshan walked away, Chen Ying's wife Li couldn't help wiping away her tears. She didn't cry when she was rudely kicked out of her home. Instead, she felt sad when someone showed kindness to her family.

Chen Ying, who was sitting on the roof, saw his wife wiping tears and felt very upset. He comforted her, "Stop crying. It's all my fault. I've made you and your mother suffer with me!"

Li wiped her tears and said, "I don't like what you said!"

Seeing his wife's sullen face, Chen Ying quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you!"

Although they lived a poor life, she did not regret marrying her husband!

They originally had fields and houses in Xixi Village, but their younger brother from their mother's side fell down a mountain and sold all the family's fields and came to them for help.

In order to save her brother's life and prevent his family from breaking up, her husband gave up his family property and sold his own land to raise money for his brother's medical treatment!

She will never forget her husband holding her hand and saying, "Yun Niang, if the doctor had said that there was no hope for the patient, I would not have persisted. But now the doctor said that as long as the medication continues, the patient can still survive. I can't just watch him die without saving him!"

"This way, I won't feel guilty when I see the elders again! It's just a few acres of land, so we can sell it. As long as the people are still here, we can earn it back one day!"

Now her brother has saved his life, although he has a lame leg, but her nephew still has a father, her sister-in-law still has a husband, her parents still have a son, her family is still there!

All this was thanks to the man in front of her, how could she still blame him?
