Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm
Chapter 26: Showing up in Green Water Village
The brothers of the Wang family are all hardworking people. They go to find work to do before dawn.
The fourth son, Wang Yusheng, did not go out today, but stayed in the woodshed to chop firewood, because his second sister-in-law told him yesterday that Madam Li would come home today to ask about the bed.
Haopo was at home with Shitou, and Wang Dahu's wife Yingzi was also busy in the kitchen.
When Yingzi brought Li Changle into the house, Haopo was just coming out of the side room.
"Auntie, Changle is here to bother you."
The good mother-in-law looked at Li Changle for a few seconds and said with a smile:
"What's the point of bothering me? I don't do much every day. I just take care of the children. It doesn't take much effort."
Li Changle: "You are so lucky to have filial children. Why do you need to work so hard?"
The mother-in-law liked to hear this. She hugged the brother and sister, pinched their clothes, and looked at their faces.
It just so happened that the shoes I wore today were the new shoes I bought from the county, and I was wearing middle-calf socks on my feet.
The good mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction and touched Yu'er's little face. "Now that your mother has recovered from her illness, she has taken good care of you. Look, this clean little face is so adorable."
Li Changle thought, isn't it? She has been eating delicious food these past two days, and now she has a few pieces of silver in her pocket. After a few days, when she has recovered, she will buy two more sets of cotton-padded clothes for the child to wear as replacement clothes. The system mall is too expensive.
The distance for shopping is too far. It takes a whole day to go there and back. Her legs can't bear it.
She decided that even if she had to walk there, she would hire a car to come back like before.
After asking about the child, the good mother-in-law asked about the bed. She led Li Changle to the woodshed at the back of the yard to find Wang Yusheng.
"Yusheng hasn't done carpentry work for a while, so you need to ask him if he can do it. Just tell him what kind of bed you want to make."
"Hey, okay."
It’s just a few steps to the woodshed.
Wang Yusheng stood up from the wooden stake stiffly, not daring to look Li Changle in the eye.
The good mother-in-law glared at him angrily, "I don't know why you are embarrassed all day long."
Seeing that the boy was an honest, shy, and immature boy, Li Changle didn't want to be too casual with him.
"Hello, brother Yusheng. I'm sorry to bother you this time. I heard from Sister Guihua that you are good at carpentry. Can you also make beds?"
Speaking of work, Wang Yusheng's expression returned to normal, "What kind of bed do you want to make, Madam Li? A simple wooden bed, or a wooden frame bed that city people like? I made more small items before, but never a bed."
Li Changle thought about the wooden bed he was sleeping on now, and felt that there was nothing wrong with sleeping on it, except that it would be a bit hard without a blanket.
It's not impossible to build another wooden bed. When the time comes, just make it thicker and you can sleep on it.
The wooden bed that city dwellers love? How much does it cost?
"Brother Yusheng, just make a wooden bed, but surround it with wooden boards on three sides, otherwise the child might fall to the ground when sleeping. And you need to be able to hang a tent, as there are many mosquitoes in hot weather."
Wang Yusheng thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, I can make this bed, but I have to find the materials first. If Madam Li is not in a hurry..."
"No rush, do it whenever you can."
Wang Yusheng explained, "We have to go to the mountains to find suitable wood. If there is ready-made wood, it will be faster, but now we have to find it ourselves, which may take a few days."
Li Changle said it was okay, told him the size of the bed he wanted, and then asked how the wages would be calculated.
Wang Yusheng: "Mrs. Li has given our family a lot of things, so let's not even talk about wages."
Hao Po also said, "Yu Sheng is right. The wood is readily available in the mountains and it doesn't cost a penny."
"But labor is always required, Auntie, please don't be like this. If you don't charge me, I'd rather go to the county and buy a bed, even if it's a little more expensive."
Even brothers settle accounts clearly. She has her own plan in mind. She would rather give more than be petty. Otherwise, she will have to think about it when she goes to sleep at night.
"Besides, the things I gave you weren't given for free. Changle might have to trouble your family a lot in the future. I can't let you waste your time every time."
Haopo carefully considered what Li Changle said and found that what she said made sense.
Although upon closer inspection, the other party was still quite polite. They didn't have much else but a lot of labor, and it wasn't the busy farming season, so if they encountered any problems, they would help, and they didn't think it was a waste of effort.
But the good mother-in-law thought about the people in the house who needed to eat and drink, and finally couldn't bear to refuse the other party's kindness. "Madam Li, what you said makes me seem a little ungrateful. I will do as you say. However, the wood really doesn't need to be paid for. Just give me some wages."
He sighed helplessly and said, "After the New Year, let a few brothers go to the county to see what kind of livelihood they can do. It's not a long-term solution to be haphazard here and there."
Li Changle listened quietly, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Auntie, can we eat the meat pie from yesterday?"
The good mother-in-law was stunned by her change of topic. After realizing what she was talking about, she smiled and said:
"That's meat! How can it be impossible to eat? Hey, I've grown so old, and I've never tasted such delicious meat. Madam Li is such a good cook!"
Everyone in the family enjoyed dinner yesterday. Everyone cut a piece of bread with meat in it, and the smell was so delicious that it made our tongues drool.
Li Changle smiled happily. She knew that few people could resist the aroma of braised meat.
The marinade packets she bought were praised by even her mother for their delicious taste, and she often braised some meat and sent it to her and her sister-in-law to satisfy their cravings.
As they were talking, they left the woodshed. Li Changle turned the topic back to Hu Yue Niang, which obviously stunned her mother-in-law.
Li Changle once again brought up what he had told Li Shixi to deal with his mother-in-law.
Hao Po was skeptical and asked, "How did the person who asked you to do this know that you lived in Lushui Village?"
"Uh... maybe you just happened to hear me and the shopkeeper casually mention it?"
The good mother-in-law saw that she was not telling the truth, but she did not ask any more questions.
Ever since this woman recovered from her illness, her temper has become less weak. She still looks amiable, but in fact she has known everything well.
She was the only one who could help with this matter. When the villagers mentioned Hu Yue Niang, they all hated her like a plague. "I'll go tell Doctor Li and go with him to the bamboo forest. We'll see what Doctor Li says then."
She had also heard about the "weird mother-in-law" story, but she was old enough to know that some things could not be taken seriously just by hearsay, and no one knew the inside story.
Li Changle was optimistic about her mother-in-law and had no objection, so she agreed to the deal and felt relieved.
"Until her legs and feet get better, I'll bring her some food every day."
Anyway, it’s “trusted by others”.
After talking for a while, Guihua came back from outside with the stone.
As soon as she saw Li Changle, it was as if she saw the braised pork pie she had eaten last night. She started talking to her about the pie with a smile on her face.
Seeing that she was talking about food all the time, the good mother-in-law felt embarrassed and pulled her away. Guihua smiled at the good mother-in-law ingratiatingly, "Mom, didn't you also say that the meat was very delicious?"
"Look at someone like you, who keeps chirping all day and can't just be quiet for a while."
Li Changle took the opportunity to pull Li Shixi and Yu'er to say goodbye to them.
Yingzi came out of the kitchen and pretended to eat with her hands. Haopo translated for her, "Stay for lunch."
Li Changle knew that the Wang family also had the habit of eating two meals a day, so it would be inappropriate to trouble someone to prepare a special meal for her every time she came.
She took Li Shixi and Yu'er away from Wang's house. Haopo and the two daughters-in-law watched them walk to the other side of the hill at the gate of the courtyard.
“Okay… okay…” Haopo murmured as she looked at the backs of the three people.
Everything is arranged by God.
