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

Chapter 7



Others may not take Lao Du's words to heart, but Old Liu Shi was thinking about it. She thought that although Lao Du's son looked a little fierce, his family was really the best in the village, much better than the village chief's family. Moreover, the family was simple, with only Lao Du, a widower, who could be the head of the family as soon as he entered the house.

Her daughter married far away and her family was not well off. Her in-laws were not easy to get along with. Every time her daughter came back, she was basically empty-handed and never brought anything home. Originally, she wanted to earn a betrothal gift from her daughter, but later, Niu Da made such a fuss that she almost couldn't get married, let alone the betrothal gift. Although her daughter got married later, she cried every time she came home, saying that she couldn't stay there. Now Niu Da, who harmed her daughter, is dead, and it's a good death! In her opinion, why didn't he take the vixen with her?

Because of her daughter's affairs, Liu Shi hated not only Niu Da but also Li Suniang. But it was not their fault at all, but she insisted on blaming others.

Liu Shi decided to call her daughter back first when she returned. While Du Wei was at home, she would let her daughter show her face in front of him more often. Maybe after a long time, Du Wei would like her daughter, and then she could let her daughter divorce her original family. As for the two children born by her daughter, they would be left to the man. Anyway, her daughter was not incapable of giving birth.

As long as her daughter could marry into the Du family, her good days would not be far away. Old Liu Shi was thinking all the way, and the more she thought, the happier she became. The smile on her face became more and more obvious, which made the people sitting next to her feel a little curious.

But Old Liu Shi's thoughts were too beautiful. Who is her daughter? Is it possible that she is a fairy that came down to earth? Besides, she can ask her daughter to divorce. If she has no brains, she will do whatever she wants.

She didn't even consider Lao Du's attitude towards her. It is estimated that Lao Du may not want her daughter even if his son is still single. With the character of her family, marrying her back will harm his family.

But at this moment, Old Liu Shi was only immersed in her own beautiful thoughts and didn't think about anything else. Besides, she would never think about it. When people make plans, they only see the good part and ignore the bad part. It's human nature.

"Old Liu Shi, what good things are you thinking about? Look how happy you are." Someone asked curiously.

"......Ah?" Liu Shi was stunned by the question. After all, she had been immersed in her own thoughts just now and didn't hear other people's questions at all.

"I asked you, what good things are you thinking about? You were laughing all the way." The woman next to her asked again.

"Nothing, nothing." Old Liu Shi shook her hand and replied.

"I say, Old Liu Shi, don't hide it. If there is good news, bring it out and let everyone be happy together." The woman next to her didn't believe it. If it was really nothing, Old Liu Shi would not be so happy.

"It's really nothing." Liu Shi shook her hand again.

Seeing that she really didn't want to say it, others stopped asking. Could they force her to say something she doesn't want to say? It's not like the county magistrate can force the prisoner.

Li Suniang didn't feel bored after riding the ox cart all the way. After all, she had heard gossip all the way, and her curiosity was aroused.

However, the result of riding the ox cart for a long time was that her butt was a little numb. Fortunately, she finally arrived in town.

"We are in town. I will still wait at the old place." Lao Du pulled the ox rope, and the old ox, which was still moving, stopped immediately.

Old Liu Shi and other women got off the ox cart quickly when the ox cart just stopped. Li Suniang was envious. They were all old and had been riding the ox cart for such a long time. How could they still move so quickly? On the other hand, she couldn't do it. The young ones were really not as good as the old ones.

After getting off the ox cart slowly, Li Suniang couldn't help shaking her feet a few times. Well, not only was her butt a little numb, but her feet were also a little numb.

"Your feet are numb! Just stomp a few more times. It's not your first time riding an ox cart. Why are your feet numb? Don't you know to move?" Aunt Yang knew what was going on when she saw Li Suniang stomping her feet, but she was also surprised.

"Hey... Hey..." Li Suniang didn't dare to say anything. This was really her first time riding an ox cart.

"Mom, let me knock on your legs for you." Xiao Zihao wanted to show his filial piety and raised his little fist to help Li Suniang knock on her legs.

"No, no. Mom will just stomp her feet for a while." Li Suniang stretched out her hand to stop him.

Soon the numbness in her feet passed, and Li Suniang picked up Xiao Zihao and prepared to follow Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law into the town.

"Mom, she is bad, she scolded you." Xiao Zihao hooked Li Suniang's neck with one hand and pointed at Old Liu Shi and others who had already walked away.

"Well, she is a bad person, so let's ignore her." Li Suniang crossed her fingers and dragged Xiao Zihao's butt and replied.

"Oh, Xiao Zihao, you know she is a bad person! Do you want to protect your mother?" Aunt Yang was amused when she heard it and started teasing him again.

"Yes." Xiao Zihao looked at Aunt Yang and nodded vigorously.

"Then grow up quickly, and when you grow up you can protect your mother." Aunt Yang said to him with a smile.

"Grow up? Mother said that if I eat more, I will grow up quickly. Mom, I will eat more in the future, and I will grow up faster."

The child's childish words made the three adults laugh again, and the three of them walked towards the town happily.

This town is called Qingshi Town. It is the main gathering place of the surrounding villages and is relatively wealthy.

As soon as you enter the town, you can hear all kinds of hawking sounds coming from the street, and there are many pedestrians on the street.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, all with vermilion-painted doors and gray tiles. Some look old, and some may have been newly painted not long ago, so they look relatively new. There are two-story small buildings, and there are relatively short ones, which are inserted in them. From a distance, they look like waves. 

Looking at the roads on both sides of the street. There are all kinds of stalls, some selling food, some selling children's toys, and some brought by farmers from surrounding villages. It can be said that there are all kinds of dazzling things.

Li Suniang held Xiao Zihao and looked at such a lively town. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It turns out that the liveliness of the ancient town is no worse than that of the modern one.

Since entering the town, Li Suniang has been holding the child, for fear that the child will be abducted by kidnappers when she is not paying attention. She heard Aunt Yang mention that there were children in the village who followed their parents to the town and then were abducted by kidnappers. Until now, no one knows whether they are alive or dead.

Looking at the dazzling array of items and listening to the different shouts of the vendors, Li Suniang's shopping desire was aroused. Fortunately, she still remembered to control herself. After all, she is not the same as she was in her previous life. Before she finds a way to make money, the family's expenses must be carefully calculated and spent, and they can't spend money lavishly. Otherwise, the mother and son will have to go hungry.

Just when Li Suniang was calculating in her heart what the family still needed, a candied haws seller walked past them.

"Mom, candied haws," Xiao Zihao pointed at the candied haws and said.

He knew this thing. Every time his father went to town, he would bring him a bunch of it.

"Want to eat it?" Li Suniang asked after taking a look at the candied haws.

"...... Yeah." Xiao Zihao looked at his mother, thought about it, and nodded.

In fact, he didn't really want to eat it, but he felt that he should buy this thing and take it home when he arrived in town.

If he had to say who really wanted to eat it, it was Li Suniang. The bright red candied haws, the sour and sweet taste, made her drool just thinking about it. But she is now a mother, and Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law were watching, so she had to hold back.

 She spent three cents and bought a string of candied haws.

"Mom, eat it," Xiao Zihao raised the candied haws and gave it to his mother first.

"Mom doesn't want to eat it, Xiao Zihao, eat it yourself!" Looking at the candied haws in Xiao Zihao's hand, Li Suniang actually... woo... she wants to eat it so much! 

She likes to eat this kind of sour and sweet thing the most, but it's a pity that she is now a mother, no matter how much she likes it, she has to restrain herself, not to mention that Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law are next to her!

"Grandma Yang eat, Aunt Zhao eat," Xiao Zihao raised the candied haws and asked one by one.

In the end, he ate the string of candied haws alone.

Following Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law, she bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and a pound of white flour, two pounds of brown rice and millet. There was cornmeal and sorghum rice at home, so they would mix them together.

Then she went to the cloth shop, where the cloth was divided into several grades. Li Suniang just took a look. Her family didn't need cloth for anything at the moment, but Aunt Yang pulled out two pieces of blue cloth, saying that there were many boys in the family and the clothes would be damaged quickly.

"Oh, there is an escort agency here," Li Suniang was surprised when she saw the plaque that read Weiyang Escort Agency.

In fact, the escort agency in ancient times was equivalent to modern express delivery, but the escort agency in ancient times delivered everything, whether it was people or objects, alive or dead, and even some high-risk things that even the escorts could not know. And escorting such high-risk things would put the lives of the escorts in danger.

"Yes! The son of the old Du family works here. Don't think that being an escort makes money quickly, but it's all earned with your head on the line." Aunt Yang said on the side.

Li Suniang also saw an embroidery workshop, but unfortunately, she could only embroider cross-stitch, and she did it on a whim and never touched it again.

In front of real embroidery, cross-stitch is like a kind of opportunistic skill, maybe she can make a little money with this skill. Well, no, no, she remembered that she bought the kind with pictures on it, and if she had to embroider it based on her imagination, she would not be able to complete it at all.

After a round of walking, Li Suniang found that she really couldn't find a place where she could make money for a while. Alas, it seems that she has to find another way! Otherwise, she can go back to grow vegetables and sell vegetables, anyway, there is land at home. Li Suniang secretly mocked herself.

On the way back, Li Suniang was no longer as excited as when she came, and her expression was a little depressed. Aunt Yang thought she was tired, but in fact, she was a little frustrated because she didn't find a way to make money.

But Old Liu Shi was not like before, talking all the way. She looked like she had something urgent and wanted to get home in a moment.

After another bumpy ride at the entrance of the village, she finally returned to the village. Old Liu Shi didn't say anything when she got out of the car. She walked as fast as if she was on a hot wheel.

"What's wrong with Lao Liu?" A woman asked curiously as she watched Old Liu Shi running so fast.

"Who knows? She has been acting strange since she came out this morning." Someone answered.

"Lao Du, she's gone!"

Aunt Yang didn't care whether Old Liu Shi was strange or not. She waved to Lao Du.

"Uncle Du, goodbye."

As a young woman who has received more than ten years of education and has been taught by teachers to be polite since childhood, she must not abandon proper manners after changing her living environment.

Not only can she not abandon them, but her child must also be a child who is polite from childhood. So she pulled Xiao Zihao and said to him,

"Zihao, say goodbye to Grandpa Du."

"Grandpa Du, goodbye." Xiao Zihao said obediently.

"Okay, okay, goodbye." Lao Du's heart softened when he heard Xiao Zihao's soft childish voice, and wrinkles appeared on his face from smiling.

'Oh, how nice it would be if this was my own family!' He thought

If Old Liu Shi was still here, she would definitely say something unpleasant when seeing this scene.

All the people riding the ox carts went home, and Lao Du also drove the empty ox cart back home.

Yuyu: Oh no... Some people are beginning to have weird thoughts...
