The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Chapter 9: Ex-husband Returns Home

Even if someone sold these two items, the family was short of money and my father didn't spend much of the family's money.

But my grandfather’s leg injury cost a lot of medical expenses. Once, he almost sold a few acres of newly purchased fertile land.

Grandpa shouted that he would rather die than sell his land to pay for his illness, as that was his hope for giving his grandson a wife.

Later, my mother sold her silver bracelet to pay for my grandfather's medical expenses and therefore did not sell the land.

There is also Ning Xuanmo who is studying. Although he has not made any achievements, he still cannot lose a single point in the tuition.

Originally, Dad agreed to pay this money, but he only paid the initial share. Later, no matter how much I asked for it, he never got the money back.

Even when his father, Old Ning, had a leg injury, he only paid the medical fee at first but never cared about it again afterwards.

Rumor has it that because he had failed the exam for a long time, Widow Wang was getting tired of him and was unwilling to spend any more money on him.

Seeing the light in the two children's eyes dim, Zhou Yue couldn't bear it. She said:

"If you can find them food so they can survive the nursing period, I will go and convince grandma to let them stay."

"Really?" The light in the two children's eyes returned instantly.

"real."

"I remembered that my neighbor, Mrs. Lin, is weaning Heidan. I heard that she has a lot of milk. I'll go ask her for some milk to feed the puppies."

Ning Yangmo said this, stuffed the dogs into his brother's arms, turned around and ran away.

This is too extravagant. Feeding a dog with human milk? Is this really okay?

In the afternoon, Ning Yangmo used a gourd ladle and carefully brought half a ladle of human milk.

Zhou Yue looked at the milk in the ladle and fell silent. I wonder if Mrs. Lin knew that this was for feeding the dogs.

Zhou Yue didn't want to lie there and pretend to be dead anymore, he had to stay alive and find something to do.

She got up and directed the children to find a broken bowl and carefully pour some milk into it.

Then she held each puppy and fed them one by one.

But we can't let them fight for it freely. If they accidentally spill it, it would be a waste of resources.

It wasn't a lot of milk, especially for five puppies.

The puppies, who had been hungry for who knows how long, drank their share of human milk and seemed to have just rinsed their mouths, not to mention being half full.

Ning Yangmo said carelessly: "It's okay, I'll go ask for it again."

Then he ran away in a hurry.

This kid was like he had a rocket on his butt, running around everywhere.

I just squeezed out half a bucket of milk, where is the rest?

Ning Yangmo heard this, and her voice came from a distance: "It's okay, there are other families in the village who are breastfeeding, I will go and ask for it."

My goodness, are they going to use all the women in the village as dairy cows?

Fortunately, Zhou Yue thought of a solution the next day. She mixed the milk with the leftover millet porridge at home and fed it to the puppies.

Seeing how sweetly they ate, Zhou Yue thought he had found a solution.

Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law was also following the children in making trouble, Qian did not object for the first time.

The eldest daughter-in-law has been lying on the kang for so long, and she is in a state of depression and obvious decline. She and Old Man Ning are very worried.

Now that I see she is so serious about raising a dog, I feel a little relieved. As long as I have what I want to do, that's fine.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yue was happy too early.

The next day, four of the five puppies died.

Zhou Yue felt deeply guilty. It seemed that the dog was still too young and should be fed mainly with milk and not too much grain.

The puppies had not eaten for a long time, so they were content with anything they could get. Naturally, they were so hungry that they would eat anything. They ate millet porridge mixed with human milk, but they couldn't digest it and died of overeating.

The two children cried loudly. They dug a hole under the big tree outside the door and buried them.

Fortunately, there was a gray and white puppy that was very strong and survived.

It is much easier to raise just one. A little milk from women is enough for it to drink.

Seeing the puppy getting better day by day, Zhou Yue also started to work in the fields with the puppy.

She had never done this kind of work before. Although she was born in the countryside in her previous life, she had good grades when she was a child and did not work in the fields very often.

Later, I went to the city to study, and after graduation I worked. I had no chance to do farm work and had long forgotten how to take care of crops.

She just followed everyone and worked slowly. Fortunately, the children knew that she had just recovered from a serious illness and did not ask her to do too much.

Although her mother-in-law, Qian, hated her for being spoiled, she could do nothing about it. She could only grumble a few words in a low voice.

One day, everyone was busy picking corn cobs in the field when they heard someone shouting:

"Grandma, aunt, please go home quickly. Uncle is back."

Soon the fat kid who came to call for help came over. It was Ning Taomo, the only son of my second uncle Ning Yuande. He panted and said:

"Aunt, please go home quickly. Uncle Scholar and Grandpa are fighting."

Everyone was not very enthusiastic or happy about Ning Yuancai's return. When they heard that they had a fight, they were shocked and hurried home.

When I got home, I saw that they were still late.

The battle between Ning Xiucai and his father is over.

Looking at the mess on the floor of the east wing, Zhou Yue looked up at the sky in silence.

Ning Yuancai is really ignorant. Your father has become like this, and you finally come back, but you still insist on making your old father angry.

Old Ning was the same. He was looking forward to his eldest son coming home, but when he came back, they started fighting as soon as they saw each other.

I don’t know how the two of them fought while Old Man Ning was lying on the kang. Maybe the father unilaterally pressed his eldest son to the ground and rubbed him.

When Qian saw the things scattered all over the floor, she immediately sat down on the ground and started crying.

The children were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

Feng, the wife of the eldest son Ning Yuanmo, originally stayed at home to cook and take care of old man Ning who was unable to take care of himself.

She was the only person watching the scene, and when she saw her mother-in-law coming to ask her and her husband looking over, she told him everything she had seen.

It turned out that Ning Yuancai came home this time to discuss the marriage of his eldest daughter Ning Qingmo.

This was a good thing, a happy event that the family had been looking forward to.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuan had only been home for less than half an hour when he talked in his father's room for a while and the two of them had a falling out.

Feng was not present. She only heard Old Man Ning roaring:

"No, I said no and it's not possible. That person is a few years older than you and is almost catching up with me.

I cannot disgrace my ancestors by pushing my granddaughter into that fire pit.

My Ning family has had some scholars among their ancestors, some of whom were officials and some of whom were wealthy.

Our Ning family's ancestral precept states that unless you are childless and under 30 years old, you cannot take concubines, you cannot divorce your wife at will, you cannot be promiscuous, you cannot steal, you cannot bully men or women, you cannot..."

The old man was so excited when he spoke later that I couldn’t hear him clearly.

Zhou Yue nodded and gave a thumbs up to the old man in his heart. This old man has a correct outlook on life. I don’t know how he raised two such sons.

Fortunately, the grandchildren are better.

That's Ning Taomo from the second branch of the Ning family. Although he's a little naughty, lazy and stupid, he's essentially a good person.

This time it was him who ran errands for his pregnant sister-in-law and went to the field to call the people from the eldest wife's house back home to mediate.

Of course, the reason why he was willing to make the trip was mostly because his sister-in-law gave him a few pieces of candy that Ning Yuan had just brought back.
