MTL - Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister-Chapter 438 See also Xu
Yu Xiaolian knew what Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law was worried about. It was nothing more than the fear that she would lose her source of income and leave her family alone.
"Fifth Aunt, I think you should ask Man Sheng for his opinion. If Man Sheng is willing to continue reading, you don't have to worry about Shu Xiu's question. I'll let him know."
The reason why the gap between the rich and the poor is huge is because some people are very content with the status quo. They are satisfied with a little achievement and refuse to fight anymore.
In the eyes of Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law, Sun Mansheng already knows a lot more characters than the other grandsons of the Sun family, and he can also write, which is enough. She never thought of letting Sun Mansheng come back as the champion, let alone the champion , is a scholar, she dare not even think about it.
At the beginning, Sun Wulin was considered the smartest person in the Sun family, but he didn't even pass the exam as a child!
People shouldn’t fantasize about unrealistic things. Sun Wulin’s daughter-in-law just wants to live a down-to-earth life. She is very content with unpatched clothes and white rice that doesn’t rattle her throat.
Contentment and happiness!
Yu Xiaolian saw that Sun Mansheng was standing not far behind her and Gao Shi, so she stretched out her hand and called him over.
I thought that Sun Mansheng would choose to continue studying, but who would have thought that he would actually say something, and listen to his mother.
Yu Xiaolian frowned, and suddenly felt that Sun Mansheng couldn't afford to support him. Someone gave you a bunch of repair money to let you go to school, shouldn't you happily agree?
Yu Xiaolian does not ask Gao and Sun Mansheng to thank her, but only asks Sun Mansheng to seize the opportunity in front of her.
What Yu Xiaolian doesn't know is that it's not that Sun Mansheng doesn't want to continue studying, but he doesn't want to disobey his mother and make his mother sad. His elder brother didn't come back with them, and his mother is actually very sad.
Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law didn't notice that Sun Mansheng's expression was wrong, but she was relieved that this youngest son listened to her most and was filial to her the most.
Yu Xiaolian sighed in her heart and didn't say anything more. She respected anyone's choice.
Life is short, everyone should live it in the way they like.
Yu Xiaolian also left some chili seeds for the Gao family, and after telling them how to plant them, Zhao Ping and Caogen left.
The next destination, Yu Xiaolian plans to go to Dajing Village, the mother's home of Sun Daji's daughter-in-law. Dajing Village is in the lower reaches of Xiahe Bay, not too far from Canghe River. It only took them a quarter of an hour to drive there.
Yu Xiaolian has been to Dajing Village, and Sun Hu's grandma's Xu family is from Dajing Village.
At that time, Mrs. Xu left the sick old lady Sun and Sun Hu to go back to her mother's house alone, which caused the old lady Sun to almost die. Sun Hu refused to believe that his mother-in-law was such a vicious person, so he insisted on going to Dajing Village to seek proof. Lian had no choice but to take Sun Hu to Dajing Village.
Coincidentally, as soon as Yu Xiaolian entered the village, she saw Xu Shi at a glance.
I haven't seen her for eight years. Mrs. Xu is much more haggard and older than before. It's just that she is less than forty years old, but she has the appearance of an old woman.
Why is Mrs. Xu still living in her mother's house? Could it be that she hasn't married for so many years?
Yu Xiaolian knocked on the board of the carriage, signaling the grassroots to stop.
After getting out of the car, Yu Xiaolian went straight to Mrs. Xu.
Sun Hu has his mother Xu in his heart. Although Xu is not filial to Mrs. Sun, he really loves Sun Hu.
Yu Xiaolian felt that helping Xu's would give Sun Hu some comfort.
Over the years, although Sun Hu has shown great respect to Qi Dalian, his stepmother, the hearts of the two of them cannot be fused together.
Mrs. Xu is pushing the millstone at the entrance of the village. The stone mill grinds corn particles. Every time Mrs. Xu pushes it a few times, she will stop and pant heavily.
It was noon at this time, the hottest time of the day, and Xu chose this time to grind corn face, which is very puzzling. Stone mills are probably hot at this time, right?
Yu Xiaolian just stood in front of the stone mill when she met Xu's eyes.
Ms. Xu looked at Yu Xiaolian suspiciously, "Who are you looking for? Why are you here in our village?"
"You don't recognize me?" When Yu Xiaolian spoke, Caogen had already taken an oiled paper umbrella from the car and handed it over.
Yu Xiaolian opened the oil-paper umbrella to cover herself from the sun.
Ms. Xu looked very familiar with Yu Xiaolian's face, but she didn't dare to recognize that it was Yu Xiaolian. Didn't the Sun family and the Yu family move to the south? How could it be here?
"Are you Yu Xiaolian?" Xu asked tentatively.
"It's me!" Yu Xiaolian nodded.
Ms. Xu suddenly became excited, "Why are you back? Where is my Huzi? Where is my son?"
"Huzi didn't come back here, he's still in the south, Auntie, how are you doing now? Are you okay?" Yu Xiaolian didn't know what was wrong, she felt a little sad seeing Xu's pitiful appearance.
Xu's nature is not very bad. After listening to her parents' instigation, she had bad thoughts towards her mother-in-law. After she was dismissed by Sun Fengshou, her parents' attitude towards her changed immediately. Her parents refused to spend a cent of the money stolen from the Sun family to her natal family, and forced her to marry an old bachelor from the next village in exchange for a gift money of three taels of silver.
Ms. Xu was forced to do nothing but beg her parents to let her stay at home for a period of time, and then leave after she chooses who she wants to remarry.
Because Mrs. Xu promised that the person she chose for remarriage would definitely be higher than the three taels of silver dowry offered by the old bachelor, so she got the leniency of her parents.
"Before I searched for the remarried family, there was a drought here. From autumn to the next summer, there was no rain at all, and even the river water was decreasing day by day. In the second autumn, the well There is not much water to fetch, and people in the village fled to the south in large numbers. My parents and brothers left me here. When they fled, they didn’t take me... Wow..." Although many years have passed, Xu As long as Shi thinks of the desperate scene that day, she still can't help being heartbroken.
Xu was penniless and unable to move a single step. She also lost the confidence to live, so she simply stayed in Dajing Village, but there is no end to the road. Xu discovered that the well in the village could not get water. Some water can seep out every few days. Only Mrs. Xu and a few elderly people who were abandoned by their sons are left in the village. They guard the well every day to live.
Xu's family has no food, and her parents took all the food away, leaving nothing for her. Fortunately, there is half a bag of rice chaff left over from feeding the pigs in the past. Xu survived by relying on the rice chaff of.
Survived the worst year of drought. In the third year, God began to snow in winter and rain in summer. Yangcheng seemed to have returned to normal.
It's just that most of those who left are standing in coastal cities and are unwilling to come back.
"I heard from them that Bohai City is much better than our Yangcheng City. You don't have to worry about drinking water if you rely on the sea to eat. There are fish and shrimp in the sea, so you don't have to worry about starving to death. And fishermen don't have to pay taxes. There are many in our village. People settled there."
Xu chatted a lot with Yu Xiaolian, as if she was a relative she hadn't seen for a long time.
