The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Chapter 186 Quarrel

Xu Wencheng had a look of surprise on his face.

"Sister-in-law is farming?"

My sister-in-law actually knows how to farm?

He turned to look at the basin of water in Song Yuntang's hand, without asking any more questions, took the water from her hand and went to the field.

"Sister-in-law, which piece of land are you planting? Please point it out to me and I will water it."

"It's just this small piece next to the vegetable garden gate. Be careful when watering so as not to wash away the seeds." Song Yuntang instructed.

Xu Wencheng took out a gourd spoon with a small hole from the corner of the vegetable garden. He scooped water with the gourd spoon and poured it on the small piece of land that Song Yuntang had just planted. He said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have helped mother with this kind of thing for many years. It won't be difficult for me."

It’s no wonder that my sister-in-law pounded the soil into quite fine pieces, which is no worse than those of us who have been farming for years.

Song Yuntang looked at the spoon in Xu Wencheng's hand with curiosity.

This kind of tool, at least she had never seen it in the Song family.

It turns out that the gourd spoon can be used not only as a ladle, but also has this wonderful use. I have to let the people in the village learn it later.

After planting the pepper seeds, she had nothing else to do, so she returned to her room and ground some of the herbs she had brought into powder to make pills.

The day after tomorrow is the day I have agreed to meet with Wang Hongxuan to discuss cooperation.

In order to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes, we must prepare now.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Xu Wencheng saw Song Yuntang grinding herbs at the door and squatted beside her and asked.

“Make pills and sell them.”

"Is it easy to sell? What is it used for?" Xu Wencheng looked curious.

"Each pill has different effects, so they're easy to sell. The only problem is that grinding the herbs takes a bit of effort."

"Come, let me help you." Xu Wencheng took the tool from her and demonstrated it. "Is it like this?"

Song Yuntang smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Xu Yongwang, who was standing by, was very pleased to see that his youngest son was so sensible.

This kid has been tough since he was young. I don't know how he has so much energy all day long. Now that I have something to do, it would be nice to ask him for help.

After Song Yuntang handed the task of grinding the medicinal herbs to Xu Wencheng, he took a jar and went to prepare the herbs for boiling.

When Xu Qingye came back, he saw his uncle and sister-in-law busy at work, and he wanted to go forward to help.

But Xu Wencheng did not give him this opportunity.

"Brother, go read a book. My sister-in-law and I will take care of this matter."

With limited tools, Xu Qingye realized that he really couldn't help, so he went into the house to read.

After returning the bowls to other families and chatting for a while, Jiang returned home. The sun had already set and it was time to start cooking dinner.

She had just washed the rice and entered the kitchen. When she saw two scattered pieces of firewood behind the stove, she thought of the way she saw Xu Yongwang lying leisurely on the recliner at the door when she entered, and she suddenly felt a little upset.

"Xu Yongwang, there's no firewood in the kitchen! You..."

I wanted to say you're blind, but then I remembered my daughter-in-law was a very particular person, so I changed my words and said, "Can't you see or what? Are you looking up at the sky?"

Xu Yongwang, who was sitting on a recliner looking up at the sky, said "hmm" naturally, as if he had just reacted. He then sat up from the recliner and strode towards the place where firewood was stacked in the corner of the kitchen.

"Wife, I'll go chop some wood right away. Don't be angry, it will be done in no time."

"Hurry up, I'm waiting to use it."

"Hey, it's smooth sailing."

Xu Yongwang quickly chopped several logs and carried them into the kitchen.

"Look, isn't it split?"

Jiang was still muttering, "You didn't even bother to go to the kitchen when you got home. We cooked so much food for lunch today, there must not be enough firewood. If I hadn't called you, you would still be lying there."

The momentum in his words had already diminished by half compared to before.

Xu Yongwang’s attitude of admitting his mistakes is very good.

"My wife is right. This is my fault. I was so happy today that I had two extra glasses of wine. When I got home from work, my mind was confused, so I lay down and took a nap. I didn't expect that I would make mistakes. Don't be angry. I will punish myself by chopping more wood."

After saying that, he quickly rolled out of Jiang's sight.

Jiang glanced towards the door with a helpless look on her face.

"You are already old and have lost your composure. Don't embarrass yourself in front of your son and now embarrass yourself in front of your daughter-in-law."

"What's the big deal?" Xu Yongwang said as he chopped firewood. "My parents said that a family can only prosper if the wife isn't angry. Look, isn't our family getting better and better?"

In the kitchen, there was no anger in Jiang's tone.

"You're the only one with a poor mouth!"

……

While Song Yuntang was busy, he would glance in the direction of his parents-in-law from time to time.

Although my father-in-law looks a little eccentric, he is a wise man who knows how to resolve conflicts in a few moves.

Xu Wencheng glanced in the direction of the two of them, then moved closer to Song Yuntang and whispered, "Mom and Dad quarrel all year round. My brother and I are used to it. Sister-in-law, don't take it too seriously. They'll be reconciled soon."

Song Yuntang pursed his lips.

"I think they're doing fine this way."

Small quarrels, talking and laughing are the truest way for a couple to get along.

"Good?" Xu Wencheng was puzzled. "What's good about arguing?"

Song Yuntang shook his head slightly. "It would be strange if husband and wife always got along harmoniously."

"Isn't it good to treat each other with respect?" Xu Wencheng asked.

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "You still know how to treat each other with respect?"

Xu Wencheng raised his eyebrows, his face showing the childishness of a young man. "That's right, big brother taught me. I'm not an unlearned person."

"Every couple has their own way of getting along. Compared to being respectful to each other, I still think it's better for my parents to do it this way." Song Yuntang said, looking towards the kitchen again.

Treat each other with respect. How tiring does it sound?

Xu Wencheng also glanced towards the kitchen. The young man frowned, his face full of confusion.

"I don't understand. I really don't understand."

Song Yuntang smiled but said nothing more.

She mixed the boiled medicine juice with the powder ground by Xu Wencheng, added some powder that could stick the medicine together, and started to roll the medicine into pills.

Inside the house, Xu Qingye listened to the conversation between his uncle and sister-in-law outside. Although his eyes were still on the book, his thoughts had drifted away.

……

The evening dishes were what Jiang had taken out of the big pot at noon and left in the cupboard.

After the rice is cooked, the dishes are heated up and served.

"I don't have time to go to the mountains today, otherwise I could dig up some wild vegetables. Tang'er can eat some of them. After a while, when the vegetables in the garden grow, we will have vegetables to eat."

Song Yuntang picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not picky."

Xu Yongwang looked at Jiang jokingly and said, "Look, our daughter-in-law is quite easy to support."

Jiang glanced at him.

"If you can't speak, just say less."

Xu Yongwang sat up straight, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
