After Transmigrating, She Became A Little Widow In A Farming Family

Chapter 4



After the rooster crowed, Aunt Yang also lifted the quilt and prepared to get up.

"Are you going to town with the young wife of the Niu family today?" Old Yang asked in a sleepy voice behind him.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Aunt Yang, who was sitting on the bed and getting dressed, turned around and asked in confusion after hearing Old Yang's question.

"Nothing! I'm just asking you to be careful and be careful not to lose her, and her only root." Old Yang muttered.

"Tsk, I know it! You treat me as a three-year-old kid who doesn't understand anything. You should sleep for a while, anyway, you don't have to go to the fields today." Aunt Yang covered Old Yang with the quilt and muttered.

"Okay, okay, you should go out quickly!" Old Yang pulled the quilt covering his body and said with his eyes closed.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out." Aunt Yang got dressed, got out of bed, opened the door, and went out. At this time, the sky was still dim.

"Mom, you're up too!" In the kitchen, Aunt Yang's second daughter-in-law was already busy.

"Well, how long have you been up?" Aunt Yang asked casually after taking over the work from the second daughter-in-law.

"Not long, I just boiled some water." The second daughter-in-law ran to the kitchen to light the fire because her work was taken over by her mother-in-law.

Old Yang and Aunt Yang had three sons in total. There was originally a little daughter, but she died of a high fever when she was five years old. The doctor said at the time that even if she was saved, she would be a fool, but parents would not dislike even fools. It was a pity that the money was spent and the person was still gone.

After losing this daughter, Aunt Yang also fell ill. Fortunately, the three sons were already grown up at that time, and the family could help. Later, when the eldest son was able to get married, Aunt Yang was not pregnant. She gave up the desire for a daughter. She only hoped that the three sons would give her a granddaughter in the future, but it was a pity that so far, Aunt Yang's family has always been in a state of excess yang and yin deficiency.

The eldest, Yang Cheng, married Fang Shi, who is two years younger than Yang Cheng. The couple currently has three children, all sons. The eldest son is ten years old, the second son is eight years old, and the youngest son is five years old. Now Fang ShiShi is pregnant again, and it has been five months. The couple also hopes to have a daughter this time. Their sons are really too naughty and give people a headache.

The second son, Yang Zhong, married Liu Shi, who is the same age as him. There are also three children, and all of them are sons. The eldest son is nine years old, the second son is seven years old, and the youngest son is six years old. The second son and his wife don’t want to have any more children at present, for fear of giving birth to sons.

When they married Liu Shi, some people in the village laughed at Aunt Yang, saying that it might be difficult for her second son to have a son after marrying Liu Shi. After all, Liu’s mother gave birth to five daughters before giving birth to a son, and she sealed her belly after giving birth to that son and never got pregnant again.

Moreover, of Liu's two married sisters, the eldest sister gave birth to a son after giving birth to three daughters, and the second sister has only given birth to two daughters and has not been pregnant yet, and her in-laws are already dissatisfied. The second sister had a hard time in her in-laws' house.

As for Liu Shi, it is unknown if it's because her Yang family is too prosperous. Since she married, she has given birth to three sons in a row. Aunt Yang originally thought that she could get a sweet and soft granddaughter. After all, the Liu family has the gene to give birth to daughters, but who knows that she will be disappointed in the end.

The third child, Yang Wei, married Zhao Shi, who is Aunt Yang's distant niece, and the couple is two years apart. There are currently two sons under his niece: the eldest son is five years old, and the youngest son has just turned two years old.

A big family, except for those who married from outside, all those with the surname Yang are male.

There are also advantages to having many sons. At least no one will dare to challenge her family in the future. Of course, there are pros and cons. Food is consumed faster, and the boys are also naughty, and clothes and shoes are broken faster. There are four women in the family, so they have almost no free time.

Three daughters-in-law, raised by three families, each have their own temper.

The eldest daughter-in-law is more stable, patient, and tolerant. This is also the condition that made Aunt Yang choose the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law must take on the responsibility of taking care of a family. 

The second daughter-in-law has a soft temper but a hard character and is more resistant. It is probably related to her living environment. There are more daughters in the second daughter's family, but only one son, so the daughter is not valued in their family. They can scold and beat them as they want, and almost all the work in the house is done by the daughters.

She is the third child, with two older sisters. When the older sisters were there, she could save some effort. After the older sisters got married, almost all the work fell on her. She also has to protect the two younger sisters below. Fortunately, when she got married, the younger sisters had grown up and could get married in a few years.

In the beginning, Aunt Yang spent the most money to marry the second son. The eldest son spent three taels of silver and the daughter-in-law came home. When it came to the second son, the girl's family asked for five taels of silver. Aunt Yang was unwilling to hear that at the time, but she couldn't bear that the second son liked the girl, so she finally married her back.

However, of the five taels of silver, two taels of silver were taken out by the second son himself, and it was probably all his belongings. Originally, Aunt Yang didn't want him to pay. After all, it was the responsibility of parents to marry their sons. But the second son said that no matter how much the eldest brother spent, he would do the same, and he must not leave trouble for his parents.

Liu Shi may have some inferiority complex. Since she got married, she has been very hardworking and rushed to do all the housework. She doesn't talk much at ordinary times, and only answers one sentence when Aunt Yang asks. Aunt Yang thought she was a wicked mother-in-law. Fortunately, after a long time, with the sincere treatment of the family and the gentle comfort of the second son, and after she gave birth to three sons in a row, she finally became a little more cheerful.

The third daughter-in-law is Aunt Yang's distant niece. She was the youngest daughter in the family, so she has a bit of a spoiled temper and a bit of a carefree personality, but she is still obedient. Occasionally, Aunt Yang would say a few words to her, but she would not get angry. She would even hold Aunt Yang's arm and act like a spoiled child to her, which made Aunt Yang feel that it was wrong to say that she was not good, and it was also wrong to say that she was good.

Of course, Aunt Yang treated the three daughters-in-law the same way. It was not so that the younger daughter-in-law was her relative, so she would usually be more partial to her. In fact, if she was to be partial, she was still a little partial to the second daughter-in-law, for fear that if she said it too much, the cheerfulness that the second daughter-in-law had cultivated in her family would shrink back. 

The three daughters-in-law and Aunt Yang took turns to do the work in the kitchen. Originally, the three daughters-in-law did not want her to do it, but she felt that she could still do it, and it was not time for her to be served by the daughters-in-law, so she vetoed it.

Originally, it was the eldest daughter-in-law's turn to make breakfast today, but the second daughter-in-law saw that the eldest sister-in-law was pregnant and a little old, so she let her rest for a while. Anyway, there is only so much work to do in the kitchen, and she is used to getting up early.

Aunt Yang is also very happy to see the mutual care between the sisters-in-law. A big family should live under the same roof and get along with each other in harmony.

As an old person in the family, she was afraid that there would be conflicts between the daughters-in-law in the family, which would make the whole family a mess. Of course, as an old person, she has to be basically fair, otherwise, even if there is no conflict between the sisters-in-law, they will create conflicts because of the old person's partiality, and then the brothers will be like enemies. 

It is quite lively for a big family to live together, but because there are many children, and they are all boys, it is a headache when they are noisy. The older ones take the younger ones, and they climb trees to catch birds and go to the river to catch fish, which makes the family worry a lot. They have been beaten and scolded, but they will forget about it in a moment and go out to play as usual.

Fortunately, the children still remembered what the adults at home said and did not hurt themselves to the point of losing limbs or being completely destroyed.

However, Aunt Yang and Old Man Yang have discussed that they will divide the family property among their three sons after the Chinese New Year. After all, when a tree grows up, it will branch out. The house at home is just big enough for the children to live in, and the sons of the eldest family will get married in a few years.

She and Old Yang are also old, and while the family is still harmonious, they will divide it, but the old couple has not yet told their three sons about their decision.

The old house will be divided for the eldest son, and as for the homesteads of the second and youngest sons, Old Yang has already prepared them. When it is divided in the future, a few more taels of silver will be given to the two families as money for building houses. As for her and Old Yang, they live with the eldest son. 

In the families with many sons in the village, the elderly basically live with the eldest son after the division. Few elderly people live with their other sons. This shows that the eldest son of his family is not filial, which makes the elderly not want to live with them, and it will bring some trouble to the children of that family when they are married in the future.

Among the three sons, the eldest son has a steady personality and can take care of this family just like his wife.

The second brother has the most correct ideas. As long as he makes up his mind, he will definitely do it. Of course, those ideas he makes are all under the condition of not destroying the relationship between brothers. For example, although Liu Shi, whom he wanted to marry, asked for five taels of silver, he paid two taels of it himself, just to be like his eldest brother. His temperament is just right for his wife's soft personality.

The third brother is a bit honest, which is just right for his slightly spoiled wife.

Under the leadership of Old Yang, the three brothers are very diligent and do things quickly, and the relationship between the three is also strong.

"Mom, second sister-in-law, good morning. Have you prepared breakfast?" Zhao Shi yawned and walked in from outside.

"Good morning, sister-in-law," Liu Shi replied with a smile.

"Mom, are you going to town today?" Zhao Shi asked Aunt Yang next to her.

"Yes! What's the matter, are you going to? If you want to go, wash your face and brush your teeth quickly. Otherwise, I won't wait for you if it's late." Aunt Yang glanced at her and said.

"Second sister-in-law, are you going?" Zhao Shi did not answer Aunt Yang but asked Liu Shi.

"No, I don't have anything to buy either," Liu Shi replied softly.

"Then I won't go either. There's no one to accompany me, and it's boring to go," Zhao Shi replied immediately when she heard that Liu Shi was not going.

"Your mother is not a human being?! How can you despise me for being old?" Aunt Yang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her after hearing this and said unhappily.

"Haha, mother, I didn't mean that." Zhao Shi didn't get angry after being scolded and said with a smile next to Aunt Yang.

"Go, go, go, go away quickly, don't block me from working." Aunt Yang gently pushed Zhao Shi next to her and scolded them with a smile.

Liu Shi has been watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along with each other with a smile. In fact, she is quite envious, but she just can't do it.

Yuyu: I don't know how these people do it but no matter how nice my parents-in-law are, I don't think I can live permanently in the same house with them and siblings-in-law. It's just too social for me.
