Chapter 295: Never Help Relatives, Never Help Others

"Can this be eaten?" Yu Hongdou asked a shocking question on behalf of Qian Sanmei and her own young lady.

Maoba jar, known as Yangla shell in the north, is a crispy shell with gray and white stripes.

It looks like a grass bead on the outside, but actually it contains a kind of insect called Yanglazi.

The Yanglazi looks like a caterpillar, but its color is brighter than that of a caterpillar, and its thorns are longer. Its toxicity is greater than that of ordinary caterpillars. Being stung is extremely painful and will cause blisters on the skin.

In the eyes of children, this thing is more lethal than bees.

But it is easy to deal with. Just pick out the stinging thorns of the willow bark and then rinse it with wood ash water.

Of course, in this process, the sufferings they deserved were no less.

Yu Hongdou explained to the foodie Tan Yanlin who came to this big city about the horrors of the mulberry, but this did not delay Tan Yanlin and the guards behind him from nimbly picking the mulberry shells.

This thing seems to be very fond of jujube trees, and two or three can be seen on one branch.

In such a large jujube forest, they picked a bag of jujubes in a short time. It seemed that they picked more jujubes than Yu Hongdou and Qian Sanmei...

Yu Hongdou rolled her eyes in response, but it still failed to dispel the curiosity of these naive men.

Even after returning home, Mo Shougui, who heard that this thing was edible, couldn't help but stand beside Tan Yanlin and the others, waiting to taste the roasted Yang Lazi.

Yu Hongdou smelled the burnt aroma of roasted protein and suddenly felt a little greedy, but she didn’t want to eat this... Hmm, it looks delicious?

"Red Bean, try it, it's quite interesting." Mo Shougui saw the meaning of his disciple who glanced over here after a while, and smiled as he picked up one with chopsticks and handed it over.

Yu Hongdou hesitated for a while, but finally refused. If she had not seen the adult appearance of the Yang Lazi, she might have tried it, but after seeing it, there was no going back.

Seeing them eating with such relish, Yu Hongdou couldn't help it and ran to the room to find her mother.

"Mom, what are you doing again?" Yu Hongdou found that her mother seemed to have more work to do than before since the family became rich.

"I make socks for your father. Since he started working, he has wasted a lot of money on socks and shoes." Xu raised the white cloth in her hand helplessly.

"Let me help you!" Yu Hongdou felt annoyed when she saw her mother was busy with her work. She had never helped her mother with work before.

"No need, Aunt Qian has already cut it for me, I just need to sew it." Xu refused her daughter, and seeing that she seemed bored, she pulled her to sit next to her and talk.

"It's a pity you didn't go to your cousin's house. The girl who came that day almost broke the threshold of the Fu family." Xu wanted to laugh when she thought of the scene at that time.

She took advantage of her children taking people up the mountain to have a feast in Xingwang Town.

As for the fact that none of his children attended, he only said that it would be a shame to treat his son's classmate badly, and that he would set up a separate table for Pan Bao when he returned to the city.

She didn't give any explanation as to why her daughter didn't go.

"Didn't the old man of the Fu family say anything?" Yu Hongdou now had a very bad impression of the old man of the Fu family. She always felt that his love for her cousin was a bit disgusting.

"How dare he say anything in front of everyone? He doesn't want to stay here anymore." Xu curled her lips. She didn't want to say bad things about her elders, but she showed her disdain and indignation.

"Your aunt is also confused." Speaking of the Fu family, Xu couldn't help but think of her younger brother and sister-in-law, and complained quietly.

"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time." From the last time I saw my uncle until this time when my uncle came back to sit at the table, she never mentioned it on her own initiative. I guess there are some conflicts between the couple.

However, Yu Hongdou didn't want to and wouldn't care. Her aunt seemed like an okay person, but her stance was different, so there was nothing she could do.

"Your uncle...ah, his life seems to be good, but in fact, it is getting worse and worse." Xu also had a lot of complaints, but she didn't know how to say it out loud.

If I tell my younger brother, it seems like she is trying to sow discord between husband and wife. If I tell my sister-in-law, she seems like an annoying sister-in-law who meddles in everything.

"Mom, it's hard for an official to judge family affairs. My uncle is not a man without ideas. You just need to be his backup and take care of my cousins. Let them handle the rest on their own."

After Yu Hongdou persuaded her mother, she hesitated for a moment and muttered, "With my uncle's appearance, there's no need to worry about not being able to find someone else."

Of course, she definitely didn't say this to replace her aunt, she was just trying to comfort her mother.

However, after saying this, Yu Hongdou had actually revealed a little bit of dissatisfaction towards her aunt in her heart.

My aunt Fu is not a person without any opinions of her own and is quite popular in the Fu family.

Yu Hongdou could fully understand that her aunt was standing on her father's side, but Yu Hongdou felt that as a mother, a wife, and a daughter, her aunt had been somewhat derelict in her duty.

"Don't talk nonsense. There are three children here. Your cousin is going to be a government official in the future." Xu raised her hand and patted her daughter in reproach.

Yu Hongdou raised her hands and pinched her earlobes to indicate that she was wrong.

Mrs. Xu smiled, rubbed the place where she had just patted her daughter, and talked to her: "Parents plan for their children's future, and your aunt also wants your cousin to get more benefits."

"Alas, this is the injustice of the world. If a woman meddles in her parents' affairs, no matter whether it is good or bad, she will be regarded as a troublemaker. She doesn't want her brothers to live a good life. If there was a brother, it would be different." Xu sighed. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to.

It would be great if her brother was here. He would not only be her support, but also his younger brother’s support.

"Mom, I think you think too much. You should say what you need to say. You always help your relatives instead of the rational ones. You are wrong. You are doing this for your uncle's good. It's his business whether he agrees or not." Yu Hongdou comforted her mother.

Although she has been close to her uncle since the time travel, they are not very frequent in visiting each other. Yu Hongdou always thought that it was because of the big age difference between the two siblings that led to a lack of deep feelings or difficulty in expressing them. Later, she found that both of them felt a little distant and homesick.

"If you don't tell me, your uncle will think you don't care and don't want to care. He will be so disappointed and sad. Apart from his wife and children, you are the only blood relative he has." Yu Hongdou wanted her mother to straighten herself up and stop caring about her secretly. Who would know that care that is not shown is care?

Xu was stunned for a moment: "Is that so? I thought your uncle had grown up and become a man, and he would not like others to control him."

"That's other people. His grandmother died early. He and his grandfather were both taciturn. They were lucky enough to have enough food and warm clothes. Everyone wants more attention and care from others." Yu Hongdou thought of herself in her previous life and said this from the bottom of her heart.

For a child to grow up, it is not enough to just have enough food and clothing. They also need attention and someone to teach and guide them how to deal with things and solve problems.

Instead of letting them go out and letting them take one step at a time like a blind man crossing a river, getting beaten to a pulp by the cruel reality and suffering for half their lives before learning their lesson.
