The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 98 It's better to break legs after eating your fill.

After finishing her sentence, Old Mrs. Wang didn't care what Village Chief Hu thought; she had a lot of things to do at home.

After seeing the sprouts in the ground, the brothers Wang Chuanyuan and Wang Chuanman discussed them for a long time, but in the end they couldn't come up with a conclusion.

"Neither of us is bright enough, so let's go back and ask Mother." Wang Chuanyuan scratched his head. He was fine with farming, but when it came to thinking about the intricacies of these things, his head started to ache.

All he knew was that it was abnormal for these buds to grow so tall.

Wang Chuanman said, "Third brother, you go back to find Mother first. I'll stay here and watch over her. These teeth have to be implanted no matter what. If we keep trying to grow them, they'll compete for nutrients and won't grow big."

"Row."

However, Wang Chuanyuan had only gone halfway when he saw Old Mrs. Wang walking back from afar, and he hurriedly ran to her side.

“Mother, our land—” Wang Chuanyuan shouted.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Your mother isn't deaf!" Old Mrs. Wang touched her ears and looked at her third son. "What's wrong with our land? Don't be so jumpy all the time. You're a grown man, be more composed."

"Oh dear, why don't you go and take a look?" Wang Chuanyuan felt he was bad at talking, so he simply took the old lady Wang to the field.

Old Wang's 15 mu of land is mostly ordinary second-class farmland, and some of it is third-class farmland.

The land is poor, and the harvest is meager. After paying the spring and autumn taxes, it's only enough for their family to have enough to eat for three months.

Under the guidance of their grandmother, the Wang brothers were all very hardworking. While other families' fields were overgrown with weeds, their fields were always clean and tidy, and you could tell from afar that they were grain fields.

Unfortunately, hard work was useless; the land was just that kind of quality.

When they arrived at their land, Old Mrs. Wang saw that Wang Chuanman had already cleared half an acre of land, and in the seedling pit, a large patch of lush green seedlings was growing.

It looks like the growth trend is quite promising.

"Mother, do you think these buds look wrong?" Wang Chuanyuan said hurriedly.

With her eyelids drooping, Old Mrs. Wang said calmly, "Isn't this good? It seems you listened to me this year and did a good job of composting. If you had listened to me earlier in previous years, you wouldn't have gone hungry for so many years!"

These words left both Wang Chuanyuan and Wang Chuanman completely bewildered.

Could it be because of the composting?
In previous years, Mother never interfered with composting; they always listened to Father. This year, Mother taught them what to put into the compost pit.

But it only fermented for more than ten days, and it actually had such an effect?

Could it be that the reason they haven't had enough to eat or been able to farm well all these years is because they listened to their fathers instead of their mothers?

“Mother, why didn’t you teach us sooner!” Wang Chuanman said.

"You've learned your lesson. I'm teaching you how to be good people." Old Mrs. Wang took in the expressions of the two brothers, her gaze full of disdain. "With your blockheads, you two wouldn't be able to figure this out even if you racked your brains! I used to be too lazy to care about you, but now that there's another mouth to feed, I can't let Ayu go hungry with us. You unfilial children, you don't even know how to feed your old mother. I'm not as heartless as you, I'll make sure you're well-fed! Listen to your mother obediently, and you'll have better days ahead."

These words filled the two brothers with remorse. They blamed themselves for not being good enough, for not thinking things through, and for not being able to farm properly. Otherwise, their mother wouldn't have become so thin and pale from hunger.

The two brothers vaguely remembered that during the years they fled famine, life wasn't easy, but it wasn't this bad.

"Mother, we will definitely listen to you from now on."

"Well, hurry up and plant these seedlings, don't miss the spring planting season, we still need to plant a new batch tomorrow." After saying that, Grandma Wang walked away leisurely, leaving the two brothers to reflect on their actions while hurrying to plant the crops.

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Chuanyuan suddenly said, "Our family only has this much land left, so why does Mother say we have to plant new land tomorrow?"

The only response he received was a gentle breeze. After returning home, Old Mrs. Wang told Old Wang about buying the land and that she had placed it under the name of her fourth son.

Old Wang's expression was complicated after hearing this, and he even looked a little aggrieved: "Now the fourth brother has more land than me."

"Whose fault is this! It's all your fault for having so many sons who aren't any good. Did the fourth son rely on himself? He relied on his daughter. If you had a daughter like that—"

At this point, Old Mrs. Wang suddenly stopped, said nothing, and went to sit in the house by herself.

Old Wang chased after him, sighed, and muttered, "I didn't say you couldn't give it to him. Anyway, what we two old guys have is going to be left to them eventually, whether it's sooner or later. I just don't know what his three brothers think."

“That’s what Ayu earned. Let them think what they want. If they can’t understand it, they can just keep it to themselves.” Old Mrs. Wang crawled into the quilt. “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now. Call me when it’s time to eat.”

Old Wang tucked the blanket around her and then lowered the thick curtain at the door.

"Go to sleep, you must be tired too."

Xiao Ayu only discovered later that there was a crazy old man in her family.

This old man, you might say he's crazy, but sometimes he speaks quite logically.

But it wouldn't be right to say he's perfectly normal.

Now, everyone calls this old geezer Doctor Xue. Regardless of whether people believe it or not, the head of the family has already acknowledged it, so they have no choice but to believe it.

Little Ayu asked Tuanzi, "Little Elf, can that old man really cure Grandpa and Second Uncle?"

This old man has lost his mind; he's a real madman.

Of course he couldn't cure him; this person was probably just someone your grandmother picked out randomly.

After all, she needs to take out that gene repair agent for your grandfather and second uncle, but she can't let the rest of the family know.

After Tuanzi's explanation, Xiao Ayu finally realized that the old man was actually an important prop.

Little Ayu suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand!"

Feng and Ma have not yet returned from their parents' home, so Xiao Zhang and Liu are taking turns cooking.

Compared to various kinds of flatbread, the Wang family is more used to eating rice, so that evening they ate thin rice porridge. The porridge was very thin and mixed with fresh green fungus, making it smooth and tender.

Doctor Xue also received a bowl and drank a large mouthful.

"This is truly a delicacy!" Doctor Xue finished the bowl of porridge in one gulp.

Little Ayu quickly pushed her bowl over: "Grandpa Doctor, here, have Ayu's. You need to eat your fill so you can break Uncle's legs!"

Old Wang was just feeling relieved when he heard Little Ayu say something else.

"Oh right, and Grandpa's legs too." Little Ayu said seriously, "When vegetables get old, they become hard to chew. Grandpa is older than Second Uncle, so Grandpa's legs must be hard to chew too. Divine Doctor Grandpa, please eat more. Ayu is cheering you on!"

Of course, Doctor Xue accepted all comers.

Old Wang: "..."

Wang Chuangui: "..."
