Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

My mother didn't have much of her own opinion to begin with, so when she heard the second girl say that, she had no choice but to agree.

The mother and daughter started to go shopping, and they felt great spending money. They bought four pieces of plaid cloth, and bought a set of clothes for each woman at home. They also bought a piece of blue plaid cloth, which was for the fourth child. The father wore work clothes all year round and didn't need any other clothes.

The five pieces of cloth only cost fifteen dollars in total, but this was considered a big business at the time, and the cloth seller was very surprised.

In the fishing tackle shop, Liu Xia Lian bought a set of hand rods for catching big fish, large fish hooks, large fishing lines, and large scoop nets. They were really expensive. This set cost more than 40 yuan, and her mother was so distressed that she kept pulling Liu Xia Lian's leg.

Then I bought a three-pronged harpoon from the blacksmith shop. This harpoon was much cheaper. The iron fork plus the 1.5-meter-long wooden pole only cost 4.5 yuan. The blacksmith was very considerate and even gave me a piece of linen to wrap the fork head to prevent it from hurting people when not in use.

My mother was still very distressed, and kept nagging as she walked: "How much of your eighty-plus will be left? In a little while, more than seventy will be gone, and your dad only gets forty-eight yuan in salary."

"Don't worry, my mother will go to the morning market at the forest farm tomorrow and there will definitely be more than today."

As they were chatting, a mule cart came by. The driver was a middle-aged man. He shouted from a distance: "Xia Lian and your mother are going to the market."

"Hey, isn't this Uncle Li Si? He's also here at the market."

"Let's go, we have to go back, come up quickly."

The two of them got on Uncle Li's mule cart, which was great. The big mule weighed thousands of pounds and was very sleek. The big rubber wheels were very wide, and with a flick of the whip, the mule went out, the sound of its hooves clattering, much faster than a person could walk.

After walking for more than two hours in the morning, the mule cart only took half an hour to get home.

Mother took out fifty cents and said, "Uncle Li, this is money for your travel expenses."

Uncle Li quickly pushed it back: "What is this for? We just brought it back on the way. It doesn't cost any money."

"Uncle Li, take these two crucian carps back and make soup." Liu Xia Lian didn't want to owe anyone a favor, especially if she had to use someone else's car next time she met him. No one would like her after a while if she rode there for free.

Who wouldn't love such a plump and tender little crucian carp? Uncle Li smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll keep it and go back."

Uncle Li cracked the whip and the mule went home with a clatter.

Mother ran home happily carrying the cloth on her back. As soon as she entered the yard, she called out, "Children, your second son has bought you some cloth to make new clothes."

The eldest daughter came out holding the child. Unfortunately, she had been married for more than a year but had not bought any new clothes. The family depended on the 42 yuan salary her husband earned from working in the forest farm to survive, and all the money was given to his mother.

The eldest, the third and the fourth child each took a piece of cloth and measured it on their bodies. They were so happy that they had new clothes to wear. They bought more cloth so that they could make not only tops but also trousers.

Liu Qiuyue always felt a little embarrassed. According to rural customs, she was a married girl.

"Second brother, forget it. I take care of the baby every day, so it doesn't matter what I wear."

"No, if you don't have the conditions, then there's nothing you can do. If you have the conditions, you have to dress better. As the saying goes, dogs bite the poor, and people respect the rich. You have to be more dashing. I'll go to the tailor's house and get measured and have new clothes made."

Liu Xia Lian ate some buns at the market and was not hungry, so she took a harpoon and a bucket to go collect the traps. As expected, the harvest in the reeds was very small. She caught about 15 or 16 crucian carps weighing 200 to 300 grams, which would probably be worth only five yuan at the market.

I immediately used the pheasant bones left over from last night to make new bait, and found another place to put the trap. Then I slowly searched along the mudflats with a bucket, and soon I found a turtle, and I directly touched it out. The turtle was still wondering, how could it be found when it was hiding so well?

Along the way, I found two turtles weighing more than two kilograms, but I never saw any big turtles weighing more than three kilograms.

When he was about to come back to collect the fish cages, the third child, Liu Dongxue, came running over in a hurry.

"Second sister, someone came to my eldest sister's house and asked me to go back. Mother didn't dare to make the decision, so she asked me to ask you to go back."

"You still have the nerve to tell them to go back. How shameless! I will go back and take care of them."

Liu Xia Lian threw the bucket to Liu Dongxue, and ran home carrying the two turtles.

The ones who came were my eldest brother-in-law’s third uncle and fourth uncle.

The third uncle was about forty-five or forty-six years old, a typical old farmer, with wrinkles all over his face, smoking a pipe. The fourth uncle was different, he was my cousin, his family was a butcher, and his face was full of fat. There were a few people watching the fun at the door, the village was so small, it was normal for people to watch the fun and talk about family matters.

"Make way, there are two turtles in our house." Liu Xia Lian came in carrying a turtle.

Everyone burst into laughter. The two people in the yard knew that they were being scolded, but they couldn't say anything, after all, Liu Xia Lian was holding two turtles in her hands.

When Liu Xialian came back, the situation was already tense. The eldest sister was crying while holding the child: "Why should I back down? I was in confinement for a month, and she scolded me so many times. She ate twelve eggs and an old hen. She cried and complained in the street, scolding me."

Uncle San knocked on his pipe and said, "Our Zhang family is not that poor. When you were in confinement, your relatives and friends sent you dozens of eggs. It's mainly because you gave birth to a girl, and your mother-in-law was a little upset, so she did some wrong things. It's wrong in every way, but she is a mother-in-law, you should forgive her."

Fourth uncle glared and said, "A married girl is like spilled water. It's no big deal for her to go back to her parents' home. You still have to live your life. Go back quickly."

Liu Xia Lian walked over with a square step and looked at the two of them.

"Now you know to come and negotiate peace, where were you when that old woman bullied my sister? Where were you when my sister was standing on the cliff? You are all talking without any pain in your back. You don't feel sorry for the child who is not your own. Go away. There is no point in discussing this matter."

Uncle San smacked his lips but said nothing.

The fourth uncle looked Liu Xialian up and down and said, "Girl, you have your mother and your sister, it's not your turn to speak."

"My mother is soft-hearted and my sister has no opinion. I have to say this. Besides, who do you think you are? Standing in Old Liu's yard and not letting me speak, who do you think you are?"

Fourth uncle has a bad temper and rolled up his sleeves to hit someone.

Liu Xia Lian sneered: "Do you think there is no one in our village? You come to my house and want to fight. There are only red-faced men in our village, and you can't be arrogant."

The men watching the excitement outside were planning to continue eating melons, but after Liu Xialian said a few words, they all came over: "If you have something to say, talk it over nicely, don't fight. If you really want to fight, the men in Lijiatun will show you how to do it."

Fourth Uncle was so angry that he sat down again.

The eldest sister was timid and afraid of trouble, so she pulled Liu Xia Lian's clothes into the inner room.

"Second sister, why don't I just go back?"

"Would you like to go back and wait for me to collect your body next time? You must not be weak at this time. Your mother-in-law is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."

"Then it's not a solution to continue making trouble like this, right?"
