Parents are busy farming

"Sister, can you do me a favor? I will make you a ginger-yellow dress as a reward." Ye Zifen said to the third sister pitifully.

When Ye Zifei heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She saw the piece of cloth. Not only was the color beautiful, it was also cotton. She had wanted it for a long time!

"Okay! What do you want me to do?" Ye Zifei agreed happily.

"Help me bring back the two large vats I ordered in advance, and I'll collect some more cabbages and radishes at home."

Then he took out three hundred coins and handed it to Ye Zifei.

"This is the money I earned from making sauerkraut last time. The two of us will share it equally."

Zi Zifen would not save it for her. Only when she saw the benefits would she be motivated.

"Okay, then I'll let Uncle Li hitch the ox cart for me." Ye Zifei put on the thick cotton-padded jacket and walked out.

"Fifth sister, I also want new clothes." Ye Ziwei saw the third sister leaving, and then she pulled the corner of the fifth sister's clothes and said.

"Okay! Do it for our Xiaoliu too."

Ye Zifen squatted down and looked level with Ye Ziwei, letting her see his eyes.

When Ye Ziwei heard that Fifth Sister agreed, she grinned, her honest and honest look making people lovable.

"Can you help me keep an eye on my little sister? Call me when she wakes up!" Ye Zifen said to Ye Ziwei.

Ye Ziwei nodded, and the pigtails on the back of her head trembled.

Ye Zifen took out the scale from the warehouse and planned to collect the vegetables.

He even took out all the coins at home and prepared for a big fight.

Soon someone came to the door with a load of cabbage. Compared with the last time, there was not such a big fight. People who were close to each other were sending messages to each other.

There was no queue at the door of Ye's house, and Ye Zifen could still keep busy on her own.

When Ye Zifei came back, she had collected only about ten baskets.

After driving the car in, she joked: "I just collected these, it's a far cry from that day!"

"This is good. It keeps me busy." Ye Zifen replied.

After Ye Zifei gave the reins of the ox cart to Lao Li, she quickly went inside to warm herself up.

This journey really froze her to death, and now she deeply understands how difficult it is to make money.

Lao Li moved the vat down with the help of people who came to deliver food.

While everyone was delivering the food, some people couldn't restrain their curiosity and wanted to know what Ye Zifen was doing.

‘Didn’t she already buy a lot of cabbage last time? ’

"Zifen, why did you buy so much cabbage?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"Oh! I was pickling sauerkraut for my relative in the county. She gave me the recipe and asked us to help pickle it. As you know, the rich family has many people in the family, so they asked us to help pickle it."

It can’t be said that Ye Zifen sells pickled vegetables for money, so people must not be jealous and crazy!

People in the village knew that their family did have relatives in the county who were officials, so they stopped asking more questions to avoid getting angry.

At this time, a teenage boy came in carrying a load of cabbage. His cabbage was packed very cleanly.

Ye Zifenduo glanced at him twice.

She knew that this boy should be from the Zhang family at the head of the village, and his name seemed to be Zhang Gaoyi.

After weighing his vegetables and giving him the money, he did not leave immediately, but stayed to help Ye Zifen.

It wasn't until dark that he tidied up the yard and tried to leave, carrying his luggage.

But she was stopped by Ye Zifen, "Wait a minute, I made tofu and I'll give you a piece."

Ye Zifen quickly went to get a piece of frozen tofu and put it in Zhang Gaoyi's hand.

Zhang Gaoyi glanced at the tofu in his hand, then at Ye Zifen, and said, "Let's go!"

Ye Zifen walked out of the door of Ye's house without looking back, and Ye Zifen looked at him inexplicably.

Thanks to Zhang Gaoyi's help, the cabbage has been stacked against the kitchen wall.

Ye Zifen brought some corn stalks back from the back door and covered them to prevent the cabbage from freezing.

Planning to pickle sauerkraut tomorrow.

Before dawn, there was a knock on the Lu family's door.

Lu Bai got up quickly and started shouting in the yard: "Who is it?"

As she walked out, she put on a cotton-padded jacket. Her hair became messy due to a night of friction, and she could only comb it a little with her hands.

"Third sister-in-law, it's me, Lianhua." Lu Lianhua's crying voice came from outside the door.

Lu Bai was startled, ‘What’s going on? ’

While opening the door, he shouted: "Mom, get up quickly, Lotus is back."

There was an immediate echo in the main room: "What's wrong with Lotus? Why are you back so early!"

Just as Lu Lianhua was about to enter the main door, Mrs. Lu Li had already opened the door curtain and let her in.

An oil lamp had been lit in the room, and through the dim light, one could see the injuries on Bai Lianhua's face and her messy hair.

"What's wrong with you? Did that bastard Yang Zhengde hit you?" Mrs. Lu Li felt distressed and angry at the same time.

Lu Li didn't ask if she was okay, but Lu Lianhua burst into tears when she asked.

"Mom! I can't live anymore. That bastard Yang Zhengde hit me. Look at the injuries on my face."

Lu Lianhua cried and nuzzled towards Mrs. Lu Li, like a child who had lost a battle and went home to complain.

At this time, Lu Dashan finally got dressed and walked out of the back room.

She was very careful when choosing a son-in-law for her daughter. Although Yang Zhengde had a bad temper, he was reasonable, hard-working and filial.

He had already heard most of it in the room just now. Based on his understanding of his daughter, Lianhua must have done something to anger Yang Zhengde.

"Okay, stop crying and tell me what you did to anger Zhengde."

Lu Dashan sat on a chair, took out his tobacco bag, put some shredded tobacco into the pot, pressed it down with his thumb, and took it out.

He took two puffs of the oil lamp and lit his tobacco.

Clear gray smoke slowly rose from the smoke pot, and soon there was a choking smell in the room.

"What are you talking about? What can Lotus do to anger that bastard? What can Lotus do!"

Mrs. Lu Li only focused on talking to Lu Dashan and did not see Lu Lianhua's evasive eyes.

But Lu Dashan noticed it and ignored his old wife. He said seriously: "Hurry up and say, I am not your mother. I am only protecting you."

Seeing that she couldn't hide, Lu Lianhua hesitated and said in a groan, "I...I spent the money...for my mother-in-law's treatment..."

After Lu Dashan heard it clearly, he immediately sat up straight and asked, "How much did it cost and where did it go?"

"It's all... it's all spent. I... I bought a new suit of clothes."

After Lu Lianhua said fearfully, she immediately hid behind Mrs. Lu Li.

After hearing this, Lu Dashan stood up, stared at his daughter who was hiding behind his old wife and asked, "It's all spent, how much did it cost? There must be a number!"

As soon as Lu Dashan stood up, Mrs. Lu immediately opened her hands, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Lu Lianhua no longer dared to expose her head and hid behind Lu Li, "It's not much, just...just two and a half."

"What? Just three and a half, are you still a three-year-old child? Don't you know how difficult it is to earn these three and a half? And that's money to treat your mother-in-law! How dare you!"

Lu Dashan was also a filial person. Hearing that his daughter had done such a thing, he was so angry that he was heartbroken.

Now he also wants to take this out-of-control daughter out and beat her up.

"Did you buy ready-made clothes?" Lu Dashan tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart. The most important thing now was to solve the problem.

Lu Lianhua nodded, but she hid behind Lu Li, and Lu Dashan did not see her.

"Speak!" Lu Dashan's tone rose again.

"Hmm!" Lu Lianhua could only say, but her voice was as powerless as a newborn kitten.

Where is the flamboyant and domineering look from before?
