A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

25

In March, the ice and snow melt and all things grow.

　　The willow tree that had been withered for a whole winter sprouted buds, and the old pear tree at the entrance of the village also bloomed all white.

　　After a spring rain, Shen Yao started thinking about the mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains.

　　"It's spring now, and all the snakes, ants, rats and insects in the mountains have come out. You have to be careful. Third brother, you have to keep a close eye on the people!"
Shen Yao ate the cake and nodded to show Mrs. Wu that she was relieved.

　　Shen Lao San also carried the basket and nodded in response. Only Zhang Chunxiang smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Hongmei and Yaoyao!"

　　"You are the one who needs to be watched!" Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

　　If you want to say that the third son's wife is not good, she actually has a good temper. She is not as delicate as you might think, and she listens to everything you say. She is also diligent, and wants to help with everything she sees. However, she ends up doing more harm than good.

　　But if you say she is good, she doesn't know how to do anything. She wants to ask this and that. After marrying into the Shen family for two or three months, she still hasn't learned any proper housework or farm work.

　　But it was not Zhang Chunxiang's fault. When she first married into the Shen family, she also wanted to integrate into the family as soon as possible. No matter big or small, as long as she didn't understand something, she would humbly ask her mother-in-law for advice.

　　But after asking for advice so many times, her mother-in-law got annoyed and didn't want to talk to her anymore. So she went to ask her two sisters-in-law for advice. They were kind and patient, but since she was about to give birth, she couldn't bother them every day. She had no choice but to turn her attention to her two little nieces.

　　Today, her nieces were going to the mountains to pick mushrooms, so she naturally wanted to go with them to learn more. But her mother-in-law didn't trust her and even asked her husband to go with them.

　　Speaking of her husband, Zhang Chunxiang couldn't explain how she felt.

　　She was not happy or not, but as for disgust, she didn't know to what extent her husband disgusted her. She had been married to the Shen family for three months, and although her husband was not very close to her, he still respected her.

　　On weekdays, her husband was busy with farm work, and she stayed at home. They only spent a little time together in the evening and could not say a few words. Today, her husband went into the mountains with her, and she became nervous for no reason.

　　The long and narrow field path was too narrow for several people to walk side by side, so Shen Laosan walked in front to lead the way, Shen Yao and his cousin followed behind, and at the end was Zhang Chunxiang.

　　The footsteps behind him were getting smaller and smaller. Shen Yao turned around and saw that Third Aunt, who was so happy and excited when she went out, was now walking very slowly with a very red face.

　　"Aunt San, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold? Do you want to go back and rest?"

　　"No... Aunt San is fine, it's just a little hot today."

　　Hot? Shen Yao didn't think so. It was just the beginning of spring, and although it was warm, it was far from hot. If it was a bit cold, he would have to wear a coat.

　　Therefore, how could it be hot if the jackets I took off were not put away?

　　Shen Yao was worried that Third Aunt was not feeling well, so he advised her to go home! Zhang Chunxiang insisted on following, so Shen Yao had to slow down and walk behind her.
