After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

"Mother knows, mother is no longer confused..." Leng cried, "Huzi, my Huzi doesn't know mother anymore."

She saw Huzi once before, and wanted to talk to him, but Huzi didn't know her at all, and said that his mother's name was Lu Yanru, so she wasn't an old grandma like her.

Seeing that the two mother and daughter had something to say, Yingbao had no choice but to lead the pony to deliver the meal first.

When I came to the cotton field, I yelled: "Dinner is ready!"

People who were working came one after another. "Yo! It's Xiao Yingbao who came to deliver the meal today."

"Yes, I cooked fish today."

She brought out all the dishes, including stewed fish with braised pork, stewed cabbage with pork, cold cucumber with garlic, a bucket of leek and egg soup, and a big bucket of white rice.

He took out another stack of pottery bowls and cooked for everyone.

A dozen or so hired workers gathered around, each holding a large bowl of white rice, squatting on the field to eat.

Among these hired workers, there are fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, all from poor families in other villages, who come to Dongchen Village with the adults to earn some money.

Not only can you make money, but you can also have two meals a day, and there are meat dishes for both meals.

Soon the big bucket of rice was eaten by everyone, and there was no food left, even the leek and egg soup.

After eating and drinking, everyone strolled around and continued to pull cotton stalks from the field.

Yingbao packed up the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the basket, letting the pony carry them back.

All kinds of weeds and flowers grow on the edge of the field, and in her eyes they are all herbs.

Yingbao took out the small medicine hoe that had been prepared a long time ago and started digging, picked up some that could be used as medicine, and put them into the cave.

Walking to the place where Erni and Leng Shi met, Leng Shi had already left, Erni hugged her knees and squatted on the ground crying.

Seeing Yingbao, she wiped away her tears and stood up, silently walking back.

"Yingbao, my mother is so pitiful, I want to bring her to our village." Erni said with tears in her eyes.

Ying Bao was speechless.

She is not good at commenting on this matter.

Erni said again: "I want to build a hut in the wasteland, bamboo shed is also fine, let her live there, and I can take care of her conveniently."

Jiang Erlang also bought some wasteland, which is a little far from the village, and he hasn't pulled out his hands to tidy it up yet.

Ying Bao turned her head and asked, "If you get married, who will take care of her?"

Could it be possible to let Huzi take over?

If so, where will the second aunt Yanru be placed?
Erni burst into tears, paused for a while, and said: "Then...then I will not marry in the future."

Ying Bao sighed slightly in her heart and stopped talking.

In fact, if Leng didn't do it at the beginning, it would be good to live with a man surnamed Zuo.

She and that man already had two children, one of which was a boy, Zuo Cheng couldn't possibly abandon Leng Shi for the sake of his son.

Walking to the side of the pond, Erni took off the rice bucket, soup bucket, bowls and chopsticks from the pony's back, and squatted by the pond to clean them.

After washing, he rinsed his face with water, and then went home with Yingbao.

In the next few days, Erni often went out to meet Leng, and gave her cloth and money.

After Leng took the cloth, she would make clothes, shoes and socks for Erni and Huzi, but she herself was always in tattered clothes.

Sometimes, Yingbao would see the two mothers and daughters sitting on the rock beside the fruit forest, sewing and talking, and Erni would secretly bring home delicious food to Leng.

Fast forward to October, and the last batch of fungus harvesting began this year.

The village was busy again, and even Chu Chu, who had a big belly, was busy drying mushrooms.

She and her husband also built a mushroom shed next to the house, and planted a lot of golden ears in it. This is the third harvest, and there are a total of [-] flowers.

If they are all dried in the sun, it is estimated that about ten catties of golden ears can be obtained. If they are sold to Zhou Guanshi, they can get 30 taels of silver.

Second Aunt Wang passed by Zhang Meng's house and saw that Chu Chu was still busy with her big belly, she smiled and asked, "Yo, it's almost full term, hurry up and ask your mother's family to come and take care of her."

Chu Chu's husband, Zhang Meng, is not from the local area, so it is impossible for her in-laws to take care of her confinement.

Chu Chu smiled: "I can do it myself."

How could she have any natal family.

Since my father planted mushroom fungus and saved a lot of money, he soon married a second wife.

The stepwife was young, and she was diagnosed with pregnancy last month, so how could she take care of herself.

Second Aunt Wang clicked her tongue a few times, shook her head, and went to the pond with her basket to do laundry.

Zhang Meng also heard what Aunt Wang said, and came out of the house, looking at his wife worriedly, "You should ask someone to accompany you."

He goes to the martial arts training ground to teach his children how to practice martial arts every day. He is busy for several hours, and he has no time to take care of his wife.

And now is the most critical period. Even the old woman in the town said that someone must watch her, because Chu Chu is approaching her due date, and she can give birth anytime, anywhere.

Chu Chu shook her head: "No need, Ying Bao often comes to check my pulse recently, nothing will happen."

Yingbao did come to take her pulse every day, both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Seeing that she has a bad appetite, I brought her some fruit juice.

So Chu Chu was not worried about what would happen to her.

This day, Ying Bao had just heard the fetal sound for Chu Chu, when someone outside called out: "Is Chu Chu at home?"

Chu Chu quickly put on her clothes, got up and walked out of the house.

I saw several women coming outside, and a pretty girl.

Seeing the person clearly, she frowned slightly.

Among these women were her young stepmother Xiaosun, Chu Man's own mother-in-law, Erniang Sun, and Grandma Chu, the wife of the patriarch of Chu.

And that eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl turned out to be Chu Man.

"Grandmother, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Chu Chu let several people into the room.

Grandmother Chu looked at Chu Chu with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Is it about to give birth?"

"Well, the expected date of birth is the ninth day of October." Chu Chu invited a few people to sit down, and then went to make tea with a charcoal stove to entertain the guests.

Mrs. Chu: "Don't be busy, let's take a look and go back in a while."

The old lady looked at Chu Chu's house and nodded: "Chu Chu, you have found a good husband. Look at this house, there is nothing missing."

Erniang Sun echoed from the side: "Yes, for us Chuchu, this is a sack of bran that fell into the rice vat, and we will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life. Oh, Chuchu, you have to thank your grandpa. If they didn't send you here, where would you be?" Can you marry so smoothly?"

Chu Chu lowered her eyes, her complexion gradually turned cold.

Yingbao picked up the receiver and was about to go home when the old lady asked, "Who is this baby girl?"

Chu Chu took Ying Bao's hand and said, "She is Jiang Cunzheng's daughter, my god-sister." Chu Chu recognized Chun Niang as her god-mother and Jiang Sanlang as her god-father, so Ying Bao was naturally her god-sister.

"Oh, so it's Jiang Cunzheng's daughter, she's such a handsome girl." Grandma Chu smiled and patted Yingbao's head.

Sun Erniang also smiled and said, "Exactly." She looked a little embarrassed.

Chuchu's stepmother looked honest and dull, she only smiled slightly at Yingbao.

Chu Man was different, she glanced at Ying Bao unkindly, sat down on the bench, looked at the room environment by herself, showing disdain.

Chuchu resisted these people for no reason, and whispered to Yingbao: "Yingbao, don't leave yet."

Ying Bao nodded and sat down on a small stool.

These people were obviously not friendly, so she wanted to see what they wanted to come to Chuchu's place.
