There is a farmhouse on the Road

Chapter 7

Go to town

Smacking the sweetness in his mouth, Xu An touched the candy in his arms and smiled, then continued to walk back home with firewood on his back.

As soon as he walked out the door, Xu An saw Yun Niang carrying a wooden bucket and coughing as she walked towards the well. His face turned pale instantly, and he hurried over to grab the wooden bucket from Yun Niang’s hand

“Mother, you are not well yet, go back to the house!”

“Ahem…” Yun Niang coughed, her face was abnormally flushed, and she obviously had a fever again. “It’s okay… Ahem”

“Mother, go back to the house and lie down, I’ll do this job…”

Xu An was a little anxious. Mother had been sick for several days, and grandma Grandma refused to call a doctor, saying that country folks were not so prudent, and asked A Niang to continue working…

"A Niang, I will buy you medicine after I sell firewood in town tomorrow."

"It's a waste of money. Mom will be fine in a few days. Cough cough cough…" If the mother-in-law knew that Xu An went to buy medicine, she would be scolded.

"Country folks don't have so many requirements. A few herbs picked in the mountains will make you fine."

"But…" Seeing Yun Niang's disapproval, Xu An didn't say much.

Secretly planning to buy the medicine tomorrow, even if she was beaten, she would buy it. The herbs picked in the mountains didn't make her better after eating for so many days!

"Yun Niang, you are so lucky. You can lie down and enjoy every day!"

A weird voice sounded, and the second aunt Zhang Jinhua walked out of the kitchen.
"Second aunt, my mother is sick!"

"Oh, sick? If she is sick, she doesn't have to work. Your mother is precious... People can't be compared. We are all cheap..."

Zhang Jinhua glanced at Xu An. Although Xu's mother favored her second wife, she still had to work as a daughter-in-law. Yun Niang was sick these days, and she had a lot of work to do. She was unwilling to think about it.

"I know how to do my mother's work..."

"You little bastard, you are so brave, come back to me..."

Xu An put down the wooden barrel, ignored Zhang Jinhua who looked ugly, and helped Yun Niang who was hesitant to speak back to the house.

"Xiao An, mother is fine... It's just carrying a bucket of water."

Yun Niang felt sorry for her brother. He couldn't finish the housework every day, and he had to go up the mountain to chop wood. He got up earlier than the chicken and slept later than the dog. Although the brother was born to endure more suffering, he was his own child after all!

"A boy should be diligent. Don't worry, mother. I can do it..." Xu An poured a glass of water for Yun Niang and said with a smile. "I know Xiao An is capable. Is there any boy in the village who can compare with my Xiao An..." This is true. Xiao An is one of the most diligent and capable people in the village..." "Whoever marries Xiao An in the future will be blessed..." "Mother..." After hearing Yun Niang's words, a figure suddenly flashed in Xu An's mind. He blushed and lowered his head. "Don't be ashamed. You are seventeen years old. It's time to get married. I think the big man in the village is good. Although he is a little poor, he is honest..." Yun Niang was really worried that her son was still not engaged at the age of seventeen. "Mother, stop talking..."

Xu An interrupted Yun Niang, remembering the candy sent by Brother Shao, and quickly took out a few candies sent by Shao Yitang from his arms and stuffed them into her arms. "Mother, eat candy!"
