99 It’s Better To Break Legs After Eating

After Old Madam Wang finished speaking, she did not care what Village Chief Hu thought. There were still a lot of things waiting for her to take care of.

When Wang Chuanyuan and Wang Chuanman saw the sprouts in the ground, they first surrounded them and discussed for a long time, but in the end, they could not figure it out.

“Our brains aren’t working well. Why don’t we go back and ask Mother?” Wang Chuanyuan scratched his head. He didn’t mind working in the fields, but if he thought about these things, he would feel a headache.

He only knew that it was abnormal for these sprouts to grow so tall.

Wang Chuanman said, “Third Brother, go back and look for Mother first. I’ll guard here. No matter what, these seedlings have to be planted. If we continue to let them grow like this, they’ll end up snatching nutrients from each other and they won’t grow anymore.”

“Sure.”

However, Wang Chuanyuan was only halfway through his work when he saw Old Madam Wang walking back from afar. He hurriedly ran to her side.

“Mother, our land-” Wang Chuanyuan said at the top of his lungs.

“Why are you shouting so loudly? Your mother isn’t deaf!” Old Madam Wang touched her ears and looked at him. “What’s wrong with our family’s land? Don’t be so shocked every day. You’re already such a big man. Be more steady.”

“Aiya, why don’t you go and take a look!” Wang Chuanyuan felt that his mouth was stupid, so he simply brought Old Madam Wang to the fields.

Most of the 15 mu of land in the Wang family’s house were very ordinary second-rate fields, and some were even third-rate fields.

The land was not good, and the harvest from farming was very little. Usually, after paying the spring and autumn taxes, it was only enough for their family to eat for three months.

The Wang brothers were very hardworking under Old Madam Wang’s guidance. The fields of other families were filled with weeds. Their fields were clean all year round, and one could tell from afar that there was only grain.

Unfortunately, it was useless to be diligent if the quality of the land was poor.

When she arrived at the fields, Old Madam Wang saw that Wang Chuanman had already shoveled half an acre of land clean. And there was a large area of lush green seedlings sitting at the side.

It looked very nice.

“Mother, do you think there’s something wrong with these sprouts?” Wang Chuanyuan hurriedly said.

Old Madam Wang’s eyelids drooped as she said calmly, “Isn’t this quite good? Looks like you listened to me this year and fertilized the soil well. If you had listened to me like this in the past, you wouldn’t have starved for so many years!”

These words stunned Wang Chuanyuan and Wang Chuanman.

Could it be because of the fertilizer?

Speaking of which, in the past, their mother would not care about the matter of fertilizer. They all listened to their father. This year, their mother taught them that they should throw something into the soil.

However, they had only done this for more than ten days, but did it actually have such an effect?

Could it be that the reason why they could not eat their fill and farm well all these years was because they listened to their father and not their mother?

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

“You’ll learn from your mistakes. I’m teaching you the principles of life.” Old Madam Wang took in the brothers’ expressions and her gaze was especially disdainful. “You two blockheads can’t even think of a way to break through the sky! In the past, I couldn’t be bothered with you. Now that there’s an additional mouth at home, I can’t let Ah Yu starve with us. You unfilial boys, don’t you know to let me eat my fill? I’m not as heartless as you. I have to let you eat your fill! Listen to me obediently and you’ll have a good life in the future.”

These words made the two brothers’ faces sag with guilt. It was all their fault for not being good enough. They didn’t think far enough and they could not even farm well. Otherwise, their mother would not have been so hungry that her face turned sallow and she became thin.

The brothers vaguely remembered that when they fled the wilderness, their lives were not very good either, but it was not so bad.

“Mother, we’ll definitely listen to you in the future.”

“Alright, hurry up and plant these seedlings. Don’t waste the spring weather. We still have to plant a new batch tomorrow.” With that, Old Madam Wang left, leaving the two brothers to reflect on themselves and farm.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Chuanyuan suddenly said, “Isn’t this all we have left? Why did Mother say that we have to plant new seeds tomorrow?”

What answered him was a cool breeze.

After Old Madam Wang returned home, she told Old man Wang about buying the land and registering it under the fourth son’s name.

Old man Wang’s expression was complicated when he heard this. He even looked a little aggrieved. “That kid has more land than me now.”

“Who is to blame! Who asked you to give birth to those sons? Did Chuanman rely on himself? He relied on his daughter. If you could have such a daughter-”

At this point, Old Madam Wang suddenly stopped. She did not say anything and went to sit alone in the house.

Old man Wang chased after her and sighed. He muttered, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let you give it to him. In any case, the things of the two of us old fellows will be left for them in the future. It doesn’t matter if we give it to them early or late. I just don’t know what his three brothers will think.”

“That’s something Ah Yu earned. They can think whatever they want. If they can’t figure it out, they can choke on it.” Old Madam Wang crawled into the blanket. “I’m tired. I’ll sleep first. Call me when it’s time to eat.”

Old man Wang tucked her in and lowered the thick curtain at the door.

“Sleep then. You’re tired too.”

Little Ah Yu only realized later that there was a crazy old man in the house.

This old man was crazy. Sometimes, he spoke quite methodically.

But it was impossible to say that he was normal.

Now, everyone calls this old man Divine Doctor Xue. They didn’t care if they believed it or not. In any case, the head of the family had already admitted it. They had no choice but to believe it.

Little Ah Yu asked Meatball, “Elf, can that old man really cure Grandpa and Second Uncle?”

[There’s something wrong with this old man’s brains. He’s a real lunatic.]

[Of course it’s impossible for him to cure anybody. This person was probably randomly found by your Grandma.]

[After all, she wants to take out that gene repair agent for your grandfather and second uncle, but she can’t let the family know.]

After Meatball’s explanation, Little Ah Yu finally knew that this old man was an important prop.

Little Ah Yu came to a realization. “Ah, I understand!”

Madam Feng and Madam Ma had yet to return from their maternal home. Now, it was just Madam Zhang and Liu Shi taking turns to cook.

Compared to the various pancakes, the Wang family was more used to eating porridge. Therefore, they ate porridge that night. The porridge was very thin and mixed with fresh green fungus. It was smooth and tender.

Divine Doctor Xue also received a bowl and took a big gulp.

“This is a delicacy!” Divine Doctor Xue finished the porridge in his bowl in one gulp.

Little Ah Yu hurriedly pushed her bowl over. “Grandpa Divine Doctor, I’ll give Ah Yu’s to you. Only after you’re full can you break Second Uncle’s legs!”

Old man Wang had started laughing when he heard Little Ah Yu continue.

“By the way, there’s also Grandpa’s legs,” Little Ah Yu said seriously. “After the vegetables grow old, they will become very difficult to chew. Grandpa is older than Second Uncle, so Grandpa’s legs will definitely be very difficult to knock. Divine Doctor Grandpa, eat more. Ah Yu will cheer you on!”

Divine Doctor Xue naturally did not refuse her.

Old man Wang: “…”

Wang Chuangui: “…”
