"Your third aunt is too honest. If I don't help her, she'll be too pitiful.”Madam Yang sighed.
"Mother, aren't you an honest person yourself? You've never been able to differentiate between what I say and what you say.”Fang Yun was puzzled.
This Yang Consortium actually said that the Li Consortium was too honest.
"You're still young. You don't understand these things."
Madam Yang explained," Mother and your Third Aunt are different. You see, Mother is bullied in front of your grandmother, but Mother has sons and daughters. Mother has a strong back. Your Third Aunt…only has one daughter, Yao 'Er.”
Fang Yun was enlightened.
He had always neglected this problem.
Consort Li and Fang Yao 'er's presence in the Fang family was very weak. They only worked in silence. Consort Li never ate during meals, and even Fang Yao' er ate very little.
Consort Li was even more submissive to Luo and didn't dare to say a word. However, Consort Li was still reprimanded by Luo every day.
Madam Xu was lazy. She would always push her work to others, and Madam Li was ordered around the most by her.
" How is Mother…I won't say anything else, but I'm too harsh on her third aunt…" Madam Yang said to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu also sighed but did not say anything.
" Back then, your place wasn't there yet. You don't know how much your third aunt had suffered in the past…"
When Madam Yang first married into the family, Madam Qian had already lived with Fang De in town. There were only two daughters-in-law, Madam Xu and Madam Li, at home.
Consort Li had been in the family for four years, but she had never left.
She had to be careful every day and watch Luo Shi's face.
At that time, the Luo family was about to divorce the Li family, and the Li family punished them by kneeling in front of the Luo family. In the end, Fang Cheng was unwilling, and the Fang family did not have extra money to marry Fang Cheng, so this matter was put on hold.
Later on, Madam Li finally got pregnant. Madam Yang was even happy for her, thinking that she could finally raise her head.
He didn't expect Consort Li to give birth to a daughter, and her stomach had stopped moving ever since.
As a result, Luo Shi disliked her even more, and Consort Li's head was even more difficult to get up. She had been living in fear.
"Your third aunt is a good person. She suffers because she doesn't have a son. We should help her as much as we can.”
Madam Yang said earnestly," As a person, you have to have a conscience. We can't do things like praising the high and stepping on the low. When we meet the poor and weak, we have to help them. That's what we call a person."”
The children nodded.
The Li Consortium's plight was indeed pitiable.
The preference for sons over daughters had been criticized by many people in later generations, and it was even more serious in this era.
There was a saying, there were three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest was to have no descendants!
In this era, girls weren't counted as 'queen'.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want you to help Third Aunt, but if you help her like this, you'll still suffer in the end. It's just that the person who suffers will be you instead of Third Aunt.”Fang Yun said.
"What loss? If you scold her, then let her scold her. Isn't it just doing more work? If I don't help, it will definitely be even harder for her to do so.”Madam Yang smiled.
Fang Yu's eyes were smiling as he secretly shook Madam Yang's hand. Afraid that the children would see him, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Madam Yang glanced at Fang Yu, and her face blushed.
Two 'honest people' who appreciated each other and had a very good relationship.
Fang Yun sighed.
"Mother, you said that you are fine, but we are all busy. Just like today, we are all hungry.”
"It's Mother's fault." Madam Yang immediately said.
"Mother, in the future, can you think about protecting yourself first before helping others?”
Fang Yun tried to say to Madam Yang," Mother, if you can't let me be reasonable and do things fairly, do you want to help Third Aunt or help her behind my back? Of course, it would be even better if I can be reasonable."”
Madam Yang was a little helpless. She also knew that Luo always disliked her, and one of the reasons was that she often fought for justice for Madam Li.
However, it was impossible for Luo to be reasonable.
"Mother will be more careful next time."
Madam Yang could only say," Since I won't let your Third Aunt suffer, I won't get into trouble.”
After a quiet night, Fang Yu and Old Master Fang had a discussion after breakfast the next morning.
"Autumn is coming soon. I think our sickles and pickaxes should be repaired. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to use it and delay the collection of food.”Fang Yu said.
This was the saying that a worker must first sharpen his tools if he wanted to do a good job. Farmers might not be able to say this, but this principle was very clear.
Old Master Fang nodded." Sharpening a knife won't delay the woodcutter. You can take it to town to repair it when you go to the market tomorrow."”
"Father, there are many people in the market, and there are also many people repairing these things at this time. I'm afraid that the blacksmith won't be able to spare the time. I plan to send it over today.”Fang Yu said.
"Alright, go ahead. Let your mother give you the money.”said Grandfather Fang.
Madam Yang was carefully serving Luo Shi. When she saw that Luo Shi's expression was not bad, she carefully spoke to Luo Shi.
"Mother, I have nothing to do today. I want to go to town with his father.”
"Fourth Brother is going to the blacksmith shop. Why are you following him?”Luo Shi said without even lifting his eyelids.
"Mother, there are many things that need to be repaired. If I go, I can also help carry things.”Madam Yang said.
"There are so many things at home. If you leave, you'll leave them all to me?”Luo Shi glanced at Madam Yang.
" Mother," Madame Lee mustered up her courage and said," I'm on shift today. Yao 'Er and I will be at home. Leave the chores at home to me."”
"You guys seem to have discussed this beforehand?”
Luo Shi turned around and glanced at Consort Li." No wonder you've been so busy these past two days.”
These words wronged Madam Yang, but Madam Yang still smiled at Luo.
"Mother, I will go and return early. I don't dare to delay any work.”
Madam Yang said," Mother, the base of the shoes I gave you is out of thread. We have to buy some back."”
"I don't care about your shoes. I don't have money for you to spend.”Luo Shi immediately said.
"Mother, I don't want money." Madam Yang said.
"All of you are rich. How about this, bring me two more pairs of shoes. Your sister won't be able to see you all year round.”Luo said.
Fang Yun was dumbfounded.
" Mother..." Madam Yang said awkwardly. She didn't have much money in her hands.
Luo's eyes immediately widened.
"Mother, alright, I, I will definitely buy it.”Madam Yang could only say.
Luo snorted and stopped talking.
Madam Yang could only stand under the brick bed and wait.
After a while, Luo Shi said," Your legs are on your body. If I don't let you go, you won't go?"”
"Mother, I'll go then." Madam Yang hurriedly said.
Luo Shi had agreed. What a strange way of speaking.
However, Luo Shi seemed to be like this, but Fang Yun was still not used to it.
