If the law had not prohibited it, Mingyue would have taken action against these little beasts long ago. However, since they came to her door today, it would seem a waste if she didn't do something!
Mingyue looked at them thoughtfully, and her mind was already starting to think of a suitable prescription.
He Daxi touched his empty stomach. Hunger made him particularly impatient. He asked unhappily, "We have already apologized. What else do you want? It's just an unborn boy. Isn't it enough for the five of us brothers to take care of you in your old age?"
He Danan nodded and looked at Mingyue with suspicion and said, "That's right. When big brother killed the baby girl in your belly, you weren't angry! Why are you so fussy about it now? Are you trying to get rid of us brothers just because big brother is gone?"
It's no wonder that He Dadong and the others really took He Danan's words to heart. They judged themselves by their own experience and thought that if they were the eldest sister-in-law, they would definitely not want to support a bunch of encumbrances.
They never thought that maybe Zhou Mingyue didn't know that He Daqiang had harmed her daughter.
After all, the reason why Mingyue knew these things was because she let the secret slip when He Dadong and others drove away the original owner in the previous life.
The youngest, He Dazhong, had his eyes rolling around and kept looking into the house, thinking that it would be great if he could stay. The Zhou family looked much better than Aunt Wu's.
So He Dazhong said confidently: "Sister-in-law, I want to live with you."
This time Mingyue was really shocked. Every time she thought she understood the He family's shamelessness, they would always continue to refresh her understanding.
At that moment, all the hesitation in Mingyue's heart disappeared. Why should she show mercy to the beast
But to be on the safe side, Mingyue did not let the He family into the house. Even though she wanted revenge, she didn't want to get herself involved. It was not worth it for such a group of little beasts.
Mingyue closed the door with her backhand and sneered: "I'm going to the mountain to pick wild vegetables now. So, you guys come with me to the mountain. As long as you can hold on, I can consider what you said..."
However, Mingyue's eyes were cold. At that time, what they cared about was not whether she was willing to support them.
Isn't it just a trip up the mountain? He Dadong's eyes lit up and he agreed without hesitation, ignoring the word "consider" in Mingyue's mouth.
"Let's go!" Mingyue didn't even take the basket, she just walked in front with her hands in her hands.
He Dadong and the others followed her, taking advantage of the fact that the bright moon had no eyes, and they used their hands to gesture and lip sync, and had already talked about everything from what to eat for lunch to which room to choose for the evening.
As they talked, the five brothers couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mingyue also smiled. There were many mosquitoes, rats and snakes in the mountains at this time of year. If any of them were unlucky enough to encounter an unknown poisonous insect or beast and get infected with an unknown virus, it seemed that she could not be blamed, right
After all, she just wanted to go up the mountain to pick turtledove leaves to make fairy jelly, but they insisted on following her, and she was helpless~
After walking for a while, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain behind Zhoujia Village has no name. It is not high, but it is rich in products. A few days ago, many villagers came to pick spring bamboo shoots. After the rain, villagers often go into the mountains to look for mushrooms. When the weather is fine, children often form teams to go in to look for wild vegetables and fruits, and they have trampled out a very flat mountain road.
It is now mid-May, the transition between spring and summer. The mulberries and cranberries on the roadside have been picked by children, leaving only moss and green weeds on the walls. There are vines hanging on the trees growing on the walls, swaying in the wind.
The turtledove leaves that Mingyue needed were growing on a path on the top of the mountain, but she was completely unhurried and even stopped to pull up a handful of weeds from time to time.
At this time, He Dadong and the others also came to their senses from their initial excitement. They watched their sister-in-law stop to pick two handfuls of wild grass, and then go to dig up grass roots. It was really boring.
"Didn't we say we were going up the mountain? Why are you pulling these weeds?" He Dabei couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, and asked loudly: "Are you lying to us? Are you kidding us?" He Dadong glared at his fifth brother, deliberately flattering Mingyue, and even used a self-torture tactic: "Don't talk nonsense, fifth brother, how could the eldest sister-in-law lie to us? The eldest sister-in-law must have her reasons for doing things. Even if we haven't eaten for several days, even if we have no strength left, we have to endure it and accompany the eldest sister-in-law up the mountain!"
"If you feel tired, just go back to your home. I don't expect you to make it to the mountain anyway." Mingyue turned her back to them and simply processed the herbs she had picked, throwing away what needed to be thrown away and saying it calmly.
But they have already come this far, how can He Dadong and the others possibly go back
And now Aunt Wu is unreliable, and sister-in-law is their only support.
It's a pity that this person is too ungrateful. They have already admitted their mistakes, but he still wants to treat them like this.
He Dadong's eyes flashed with resentment, but he said nicely: "As long as we can accompany you, sister-in-law, as long as you are happy, we are not tired."
He Dabei pouted in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything unpleasant under his second brother's angry gaze.
He Danan heard his stomach growling and licked his dry lips: "It would be even better if you could get up the mountain sooner, sister-in-law."
Mingyue ignored them and continued walking slowly.
Occasionally, when she saw some herbs suitable for the Zhou family to take, she would pick them up as well. Soon, her hands were filled with all kinds of weeds.
The five members of the He family looked at her back, but dared not say anything, and were filled with anger.
After swaying slowly for a long time, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.
When the He family thought they had passed the test and it was time to go down the mountain to eat, Mingyue found a ridge and sat down.
This time even He Dadong couldn't help it, he rushed to Mingyue, frowned and asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Mingyue placed a bunch of herbs beside her, pounded her legs, and said calmly, "Can't you see? I'm tired, take a rest."
He Dadong clenched his fists, closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before he suppressed his resentment: "Okay, we'll wait for you to have a good rest, sister-in-law."
He Dabei wanted to speak, but He Dadong's eyes forced him to swallow the words back.
Mingyue glanced at He Dadong and felt a little sorry. He was indeed quite clever, but it was a pity that all his cleverness was used in the wrong place.
About five minutes later, Mingyue stopped what she was doing; her "gift" was ready.
