Chapter 135: Fatal! Tripled
Cheng Yue worked hard to cut the grass for the whole morning, but when she looked up, there was not much to be done. The sun was at its zenith and her face was hurting from the sun, so she stopped.
Except for Chen Ping's family who had already run away, the rest of the villagers were still bending over and cutting the crops, with no intention of stopping at all.
Cheng Yue pounded her sore waist. As a newbie, she couldn't bear it any longer.
Although I did farm work every day before I came here, at least I had machines and it wasn't so tiring.
Cheng Yue sat on the ridge of the field to rest for a while. Chen Tong and Chen Ning came over to give her a massage and said with concern: "Mom, why don't you go home first? The two of us can gather the remaining wheat."
Their mother said they were still young and would not let them harvest wheat, saying it would easily hurt their waists. It was obvious that they felt extremely guilty about their mother's behavior.
Cheng Yue said kindly, "It's okay. We can't collect all the crops by ourselves, so we still have to rely on the villagers. I'll take it easy and won't get tired.
But I really have to go back home and bring the ox cart, otherwise we won’t be able to carry it back, you two wait here for a while.”
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to go home, and straightened the straw hats for his two daughters.
The sun is so strong that it would be bad if your fair and tender face, which you have worked so hard to maintain, gets tanned.
Chen An took time out to weave the straw hat, and at Cheng Yue's request, he made the brim of the hat extremely wide. It's really nice to have a skillful man at home!
Cheng Yue returned home happily. Chen An had already prepared lunch at home.
Although he cannot get out of the field, he can do the logistics work well, which is not bad. A man with a lively eye is a comforting thing.
Cheng Yue said hello to Chen An and drove the ox cart to the wheat field.
When the villagers saw this, they all came over to help load the wheat, and Cheng Yue felt warm at heart.
"I don't have many pounds here. Whoever wants to go back now, let's load them on the cart together! I'll be at home for the next two days, and the ox cart is also free. If anyone wants to use it, just let me know."
The wheat field is only a few hundred meters away from the village. Although it is not far, it is uphill. It must be tiring for people to carry the wheat back and forth.
A bullock cart can pull thousands of pounds at a time, and the task can be completed in just a few trips. I helped those who were kind to her.
Zhang Dashan and the others waved their hands, "No, no, we have a cart, it's the same whether we pull it a few times."
Everyone followed suit, "We carry things home like this every year. It's not tiring. Cheng Yue girl, you don't have to worry about us!"
"Yes, it's just a matter of making several trips back and forth. We are all strong men and can handle it!"
Their ox carts are free, and they don't want to take advantage of them.
Besides, Cheng Yue used the ox cart because Chen An couldn't go to the fields and there was no strong laborer at home. Each of their families had two men, so why were they afraid that they couldn't bear the hardship?
Seeing that Cheng Yue couldn't persuade anyone, she had to give up. They would have to help harvest wheat at that time, and she was afraid that it would be embarrassing to ask for wages if they used her ox cart.
They still had to work in the fields for a while. Cheng Yue loaded the car, said hello to everyone, and took the two sisters home first.
After arriving home, Cheng Yue spread a plastic sheet in the yard and started unloading the truck. After harvesting the fruits, she still had to shell them.
Well, you have to use the old-fashioned stone mill to remove the husks, and then use a large winnowing basket to sift out the husks, and what's left are the wheat grains.
After all this busy work, Cheng Yue was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. She rested for a long time before eating.
With Chen An around, Cheng Yue doesn't have to worry about washing dishes at all. She is very self-conscious.
Even the job of feeding chickens and cows was taken over by others.
Cheng Yue's farts became louder and louder, "My husband is really amazing! We both cook, but how come yours is so delicious?"
"Look at this dish brush, it's shiny and clean!"
"What would this family do without you? You are the best man in the world!"
Chen Tong and Chen Ning were both shocked. Their father was still using a crutch and had to hop on one leg to work from time to time. How did their mother manage to order their father around without any pressure?
The most shocking thing is that they feel that their dad is jumping even more happily! They can't suppress the smile on their faces, and they feel like they are intoxicated. This...
The two sisters looked at each other with their eyes wide open for a long time, as if they had suddenly realized something.
"Ouch! You silly girl, how can you not be sympathetic! Your son-in-law's legs are in such a state, and you still let him work?"
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu's family were only thinking about helping their daughter and son-in-law harvest wheat, so the pig head shop and the noodle stall didn't prepare much meat and noodles, and they came to Houshui Village early.
As a result, before they even entered the door, they heard their daughter's voice instructing her son-in-law. The tone of her voice gave them goose bumps.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Chen An working with one leg supported on the ground. He looked so pitiful that the whole family was dumbfounded.
Is my daughter (younger sister) (younger sister) so tough? My son-in-law (brother-in-law) (younger brother-in-law) has such a bad leg, but you still won't let me go. What kind of life is this?
Mrs. Wu was so angry that she scolded Cheng Yue. It was bad enough that she was pampered at home, but why did she become even more pampered after getting married?
Chen An immediately spoke up, "Mom, it wasn't Ah Yue who asked me to do this. She had worked very hard this morning harvesting wheat. I can't help much, so it's my duty to do some housework."
Father Cheng hesitated to speak. Why did he feel that his son-in-law was quite happy? Forget it. They are old, and they can't figure out young people. Just be happy.
But the daughter couldn't help but say, "My daughter, you can't go too far. You have to wait until your son-in-law's leg is healed, understand?"
Cheng Yue pursed her lips and glanced at her parents, brother, sister-in-law and nephew. Well, it was a bit awkward.
She wanted to say that her mother was more arrogant and would always pinch her father, but she didn't dare to say it.
He immediately put on a smile and stepped forward and said, "I know, I know. Dad, Mom, Brother and Sister-in-law, why are you here so early? You must be worried that there is no one at home!"
The whole family is involved, and even Cheng Jun and Cheng Feng are not left out.
Wu poked Cheng Yue's forehead with a finger and said, "If I hadn't come so early, I wouldn't have known you were so rude at home."
As he spoke, he saw Chen An's expression as if he wanted to explain again, so he quickly said, "Forget it, since the son-in-law doesn't say anything, we won't meddle in other people's business."
Chen An stood aside and grinned, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Xiaojun and Xiaofeng, come and sit down and rest for a while!"
Chen Tong and Chen Ning quickly moved the stools and made some sugar water. After the family sat down, Mrs. Wu said, "There's nothing to do at home. Just let Aunt Zhang next door take care of it. We'll keep all the valuables with us."
Cheng Yue felt relieved when she heard that. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Cheng Yang and Liu looking at her with excitement in their eyes. What was going on?
Receiving Cheng Yue's inquiring look, Liu said excitedly, "Little sister, Mr. Chen San has spread the news today. Several masters have gone to the dock. The shop has been sold for 100 taels! Damn it! It has tripled!"
