Bab 39: Peaceful Life
Editor: Atlas Studios
It was unknown if they were afraid of Hua Jiujiu or if they were plotting something big, but the old house was exceptionally quiet these few days.
Because of this, Hua Jiujiu and the others lived a few peaceful days.
It was even better because they had a bowl of fish soup, a bowl of meat, and a bowl of spiritual spring water every day.
Everyone in the village said that the Hua family finally had a conscience and was finally willing to take care of that pitiful family.
Old Hua and the others accepted the villagers' flattery while wondering what was going on with this family. Why did they suddenly gain so much weight? They clearly didn't eat much better than before, but they did less work.
However, every time they did a surprise inspection, they did not find anything. They could only stare blankly.
On this day, when Hua Jiujiu finished the last mouthful of fish soup, she said, "We have to go to town!"
After drinking fish soup for half a month, she was almost turning into a fish!
Although it tasted delicious, she would get sick of it if she kept eating it!
However, Hua Jiujiu was the only one who was sick of it. The two sisters were still enjoying it.
"Jiu'er, why are you going to town?" Bai Zhi felt that she had completely recovered. Every day, she would get out of bed to help Hua Jiujiu. However, every time, Hua Jiujiu would chase her back to bed and force her to finish a month of post-pregnancy rest.
"Mother, why did you leave the bed again?" Hua Jiujiu went over and helped Bai Zhi back to the bed.
Although Bai Zhi's injuries were almost healed, she hadn't finished her rest yet.
After a day of the required amount of walking, she had to rest in bed for the rest of the day.
Look at how well she had nurtured her in the past two weeks.
Her mother was indeed the best person in the village.
She was fairer and plumper, which would make people like her more.
If she dressed up a little more, she would probably be a goddess who had descended to the mortal world.
In the village, however, a widow who was too beautiful was not a very good thing.
Therefore, during this period of time, Hua Jiujiu didn't dare to let anyone see her.
"I feel very healthy. I can work now."
Bai Zhi had been lying in bed for half a month and hadn't done any work. She felt very uneasy. How could Elder Madam Xu just let their family do nothing?
"That female miracle doctor said that you still have to rest for a month. How can you start working now?" Hua Jiujiu had no choice but to mention the female doctor.
"Another… Another month?" Bai Zhi opened her mouth slightly.
In another month, wouldn't Elder Madam Xu go crazy?!
"That's right. Otherwise, it will hurt your body. You don't want my younger siblings to lose motherly love at such a young age, right?" Hua Jiujiu said pitifully.
"This…" Bai Zhi didn't know what to say.
"Alright, Mother, quickly sit down." Hua Jiujiu pulled Bai Zhi to sit down. "Mother, I plan to go to town to buy some things. It's going to be cold soon. We don't have thick clothes or blankets."
Every year, they didn't have any and could only huddle together for warmth.
"But do you still have money?" In the past half a month, Hua Jiujiu had spent money. Sometimes, she would go to the peddler at the village entrance to buy some brown sugar.
These 100 copper coins were promised by Old Hua, so Hua Jiujiu had a reason not to give them the things she bought with that money.
100 copper coins was really a lot for farmers. However, Hua Jiujiu had bought some rare things, so the money had probably been used up long ago.
Everyone in the Hua family thought that Hua Jiujiu was a wastrel, but Bai Zhi did not say anything. It was obvious that she supported her daughter in whatever she did. She even thought that even if they split up in the future, the family's money would be handed over to Hua Jiujiu to manage.
