The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Su He saw that Zhou was still there, and was drooling as he thought about the mutton he had just bought today.

"Aunt, can we have mutton and radish soup for dinner? The mutton I bought is very fresh. I also bought radishes and white rice. Let's eat white rice today. Although I don't have monthly allowance after leaving the Zhao Mansion, I will go to give massages to the old lady every once in a while. This time, the old lady rewarded me with a carriage and a mule. There will be more rewards next time. I can always buy some meat and rice to bring back."

Su He didn’t know whether there would be a reward next time, but she really wanted to eat rice, not only for her younger brothers and sisters, but also for herself.

Now I have enough space to store supplies, and I have my own land to grow food. I can still afford rice. I don’t have to eat it every meal, but once a day is fine.

Zhou was still sighing in her heart that Su He was willing to spend money on her brother and sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that her niece would drop a few more bombs on her.

What does it mean to only eat white rice?

What is massage?

Is reward what she meant?

"Lotus, do you mean to say that we have a mule and a carriage?"

"Wow, there's meat today! And rice!"

"There will be a next time?"

Wang Bin was surprised because he didn't know anything about the carriage.

Wang Daming and Wang Fugui put their things away and came in. As soon as they entered the door, they heard He Hua's shocking remarks.

"Lotus, why did the old lady give you a reward?"

Su He turned around and saw that it was her grandfather who came in. She quickly made way for him to sit inside.

"Grandpa, the old lady in the mansion is not feeling well, but it is not convenient to see a doctor. I know some massage techniques, and I am very strong, so I can help the old lady relieve her fatigue. It just so happens that they heard that I live far from the mansion, so they sent a carriage and a mule, and I will be able to take her back in five days."

Wang Daming was also very happy to hear this. He had worked hard all his life but had not earned a mule, but he did not expect that his granddaughter would be pregnant at such a young age.

"Okay, Lotus, you are amazing. I inquired about this mule last year. A medium-sized mule costs 15 taels, not to mention a carriage. Lotus, don't tell anyone about your massage technique. Pass it on to your descendants and they will be popular for generations to come."

Wang Fugui was also happy for Hehua. His niece had made progress, which made him proud and his sister could rest in peace in her grave.

"There is an old cowshed at home. Binzi and I will go and clean it up tomorrow so that the mule will have a place to stay when it arrives."

Mules can not only plow the land during farming, but also pull grain during harvest. The autumn harvest is a time of racing against time, and having a mule not only saves effort, but also speeds up the process.

Zhou felt distressed when she thought about how her husband had become just a bag of bones after the autumn harvest.

Although the mule belongs to Hehua, it should be possible to negotiate if she wants to borrow it for use. Zhou felt excited when she thought of this.

Mrs. Sun felt that He Hua brought her too much honor. She was under a lot of pressure when she decided to bring the three siblings home. Not to mention other things, just food was a difficult hurdle. Although her two sons were filial and her daughter-in-law did not dare to refuse, there would be conflicts over time.

Now that Lotus has made progress, she has received so many rewards after just one visit to the government office. With these, not only Mu Tou and Miao Miao can have enough food to eat, but now everyone can benefit from it.

"Hehua said we'll have mutton soup tonight, Minmin, go and prepare it quickly."

Sun felt inexplicably confident, and Zhou agreed with a smile.

Su He didn't know that everyone would be so happy to have a mule, but then he thought about it and realized that there was an old cowshed at home, so they had cows there before, and cows were definitely used for plowing the fields, and the same is true now with a mule.

For those who make a living from farming, having a mule means having an extra labor force that is capable of working, enduring hardships, and not costing money.

Mules can survive by eating corn stalks and bran, so it's a hassle-free experience.

Su He felt very proud to see that everyone was satisfied. Now everyone was happy.

"It would be nice if mom was here at this time. Mom could also eat rice and meat."

Seeing how happy everyone was, Tietou thought of his mother back home.

"Dad, when will mom be back?"

Su He keenly felt that everyone's expressions had faded, especially Wang Bin, whose smile had disappeared.

"Your mother will stay at your grandmother's house for a few days. She will come back if she wants to."

Wang Bin didn't want to say anything more. Su He had wanted to ask for a long time. Why didn't my uncle's family go out to work? Why wasn't my cousin's wife at home? It was impossible for her to visit relatives alone in such a cold day.

Sun changed the subject directly, "Tietou, how many pieces of mutton would you like to eat later? If you can eat it, I'll ask your grandmother to cook a few more pieces."

Tietou was a boy with a carefree personality after all, and he was also young, so after Sun's interruption, he had already forgotten his mother.

"I can eat a big bowl! Grandma, how many pieces of meat are in this big bowl? Please talk to grandma for me, don't leave out some for me."

Tietou was getting anxious as he spoke. It was so hard to get to eat the meat, so he couldn't be left out.

"Haha, okay, ask your dad to take you there, and you can talk to grandma yourself."

Wang Bin walked up to Tietou, hugged him, put his hat and clothes on him, and walked out.

Su He knew that the idea was to send the little guy away.

"Grandma, why did my cousin's wife go back to her parents' home? Is it because we are coming?"

Sun was just thinking about how to start the conversation, but she didn't expect Su He to ask directly.

"Alas, it's not because of you. Wife Binzi is the youngest in her family and is spoiled by her family. After she married into our family, everyone gave in to her. Then she gave birth to Tietou, which made her even more proud. I'm fine, and your uncle and aunt don't bother with her, let alone Binzi. I haven't been in good health in the past two years, and the cows in our family have been sold for my medical treatment. Seeing that our family's financial resources are getting thinner and thinner, I still insisted on bringing you here, but she went back to her parents' home without saying a word. She left on the day your grandfather went to pick you up."

Su He sighed inwardly. To put it bluntly, it was all because of poverty.

She was also touched when she thought that her grandpa and his family insisted on coming to pick her up.

"Mom, don't worry. If Binzi's wife wants to stay at her parents' home, let her stay. I said at the beginning that Binzi is the eldest grandson, and the wife chosen must be sensible. Binzi insisted on marrying her. Now, I have to endure her anger from time to time. Binzi let it go. You are the elder, and there is absolutely no reason for you to do this. If you despise our family because we are poor, we will not keep her."

Wang Fugui was unusually serious. He really felt that Lin Xiaozhao was not qualified to be the eldest grandson's wife, but his son chose her.

Su He nodded in agreement, "Yes, grandma, the cow was not earned by my eldest cousin's wife, and she was using it to treat your illness, so why would she be dissatisfied? The whole family should work hard to earn money and buy another cow."

"Hehua is right. If she wants to blame someone, she should blame me. It was me who decided to sell the cow. We worked hard to build this family. Now I still have the final say."

Wang Daming is obviously dissatisfied with his eldest grandson's wife. His wife is sick this time, and she, a junior, cannot help, but she dares to be rude to him. He must have married the wrong grandson's wife.
