Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Planting Gourds_l

Translator: 549690339

After March, the Jiang Family began preparing for Jiang Cheng’s wedding.

Jiang Cheng managed to buy two large geese at several markets, clipped their wings, and kept them in a cage.

Yingbao’s eyes sparkled and she had a continuous grin watching her elder cousin.

“Baobao, what are you planting in the yard?”

Seeing her daughter busying herself in the small vegetable plot in the yard, Chunniang, who was sifting rice, asked.

“Gourds.” Yingbao buried two gourd seeds in the soil.

She planned to grow lots of gourds, sell them for money, and also give a few large ones to Wu Daozi. When Sister Wen came back, she would give her two as well.

Speaking of which, it was already the end of March, why hasn’t Sister Wen returned yet?

Just then, the sound of Mrs. Tang came from the courtyard entrance. “Is

Chunniang home?”

Chunniang instantly stood up: “Yes, yes. Auntie Tang, please come in.”

Mrs. Tang, leading her little grandson Xiao Yao, entered and appraised the courtyard with a smile, “Oh, your yard is very spacious.”

“Not really.” Chunniang laughed and moved a stool for Mrs. Tang to sit on. “I see you’ve also started making earth bricks on the South Slope. Are you building a house?”

“Yes, indeed.” Mrs. Tang sat down with a smile and gently pushed Xiaoyao: “Go and play with sister.”

Xiaoyao ran up to Yingbao and stood there without a word, staring at her.

Yingbao ignored him and continued to dig the soil and plant seeds.

Mrs. Tang said, “Once our house is built, we can visit each other often. Then I will also grow some vegetables in the yard for convenience.”

“You’re also building a house on South Slope?” Chunniang asked with a smile.

Mrs. Tang sighed, “South Slope has more space. Our Zhuzhu will have to divide the family property with his two elder brothers sooner or later. It’s better to divide it sooner than later. I’m still alive now, and the old man can take care of them a bit. Once I kick the bucket, who will care for Zhuzhu’s family?”

“Look at you, no matter what, he is still Uncle Chen’s biological son, how can he be so heartless.”

“Ah, Chunniang, you just don’t understand…” Mrs. Tang shook her head and didn’t continue on the topic.

She turned her head to Yingbao and asked: “Yingbao, do you still have those medicinal pills? I would like to buy some.”

While her family hasn’t divided yet, she needed to buy a lot of medicine in preparation. Surely the old man would not treat them all equally. If she didn’t spend some money now, it would all eventually go to the eldest and second brother later.

“Yes, Grandma Tang, how many do you want?” Yingbao heard Tang PoPo wanted to buy the pills and immediately ran over.

Mrs. Tang took out a five-tael little silver ingot, “Just buy this much.”

She had to beg the old man hard to get this silver. She had realized that nothing was as important as her own life. As long as she lived, Zhuzhu’s family would live peacefully.

Yingbao cheerfully accepted the silver, ran back into the house, and came out again, this time holding a ceramic bowl full of pills, “Here you go, a total of thirty pills. You can only eat one a day.”

This was the Harmony-preserving Pill she had made a while ago. It was composed of hawthorn, fermented grain, pinellia, poria, tangerine peel, forsythia, radish seed, and a little bit of Wudingzhi.

This pill targeted people like Mrs. Tang, who had a high-fat blood type.

Mrs. Tang pocketed the pills in her large sleeve, called her grandson over, stood up, and bid Chunniang farewell.

Shortly after Mrs. Tang left, Sister-in-law Jiang came over and called over the three sisters to sew wedding quilts.

There was a custom regarding the sewing of wedding quilts, it could only be done by those blessed with good fortune.
