【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 127 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 7

Xiao Zhang became excited when he heard this and rowed the boat around. Yun Xi was the only one left on the deck. She looked at the real-time images projected by the system, then looked at the environment around her, and thought that it must be nearby.

On the other side, on a small green island, two savages stood on the edge of the island and tried to repair the broken boat. Day after day, the boat finally took shape.

"Dad, do you think our family still knows we're alive?"

"I don't know, but we will go back sooner or later."

"Yes, we must go back."

Zhou Fu and Zhou Tingyu were both homesick and worked hard to repair the boat. As for trying their luck, they decided to see if there was any passing boat.

That’s not the case. Zhou Tingyu has been disappointed too many times and has no expectations.

Xiao Zhang searched carefully on every island, hoping to find signs of human activity. The supplies on the ship could last for almost twenty days. Including the return trip and any accidents, he could only stay here for four days at most.

Yun Xi, on the other hand, was not worried at all. There were snacks in the space. At worst, she could buy supplies in the system. Having money made her so confident that she must bring the person back.

The sound of waves, seabirds flying in the sky, and the blue water and blue sky in the distance are all the same. This scene makes people feel open-minded, but no one has the leisure to appreciate it.

After Xiao Zhang searched for a whole day without any results, Yun Xi followed him step by step and guided him to find the largest island on the island.

"anyone there?"

"Hello! Is anyone here?"

Xiao Zhang shouted with all his might. Zhou Tingyu on the other side suddenly pricked up his ears and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, did you hear that?"

Zhou Fu was puzzled. "What did you hear?"

"Someone! Someone is shouting!" Zhou Tingyu put down the axe, his heart beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out.

Zhou Fu was a little bit unconvinced, but as the voices grew louder, he had no choice but to believe it.

The two approached cautiously following the sound.

"mother!"

Zhou Tingyu was a big man, but when he saw his mother was completely broken, he ran over crying.

Yun Xi saw the strips of clothes on his body and thought that his life must be really miserable.

"Son, I finally found you!"

Yun Xi's acting skills improved rapidly. She treated Zhou Tingyu as Yunduan and cried her heart out.

"Old woman, my son and I have suffered so much!"

Zhou Fu was no less excited than his son, but he was a little more restrained because there were outsiders around.

"It's good to have found him. Without a man at home, we're laughed at every day." Yun Xi sniffed and patted her eldest son, who was so thin that he looked like a skeleton. "There's rice on the boat. Let's go down to the island and have a meal. You see how much suffering you've endured."

"Don't worry, my son and I have a lot of dry goods. I'll go get them."

Zhou Fu ran to the two men's hideout and took out two sacks and two axes. Only these two items were saved on the boat, and most of the others were washed away by the water.

Xiao Zhang thought it was so magical, and he actually found someone who was tactful and helped him get the things.

Along the way, Zhou Tingyu kept talking about the hardships and fears of life at sea. For three years, there wasn't even a passing ship nearby. It was so despairing.

When they got on the boat, the other Xiao Zhang heard that he had found someone and thought it was really lucky.

"Brother, go make some rice porridge. Look at what people have become. They are so unlucky."

"Okay, brother, you give me a hand. Aunt Yun, you two can talk while I go make the porridge."

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Go ahead, thank you two for your hard work. I'll give you a big red envelope when the time comes."

Zhou Fu looked at the big ship and envied it. "How much does this ship cost?"

"About 15,000. My second son's wife's family already has one. This year they plan to replace it with a bigger one, which will cost more than 20,000." Yun Xi had some understanding of this.

"Hiss! That's so expensive."

Zhou Tingyu was more thoughtful. "Mom, why did you just say there's no man in the family? Where's my second brother?"

Yun Xi sighed, "Your second brother was tricked into going to Southeast Asia to be a piglet. Mother plans to make money to find you first, and then go to the south to rescue your second brother."

"Why is this second son running around? He is needed to work somewhere in the family. He is not steady at all." Zhou Fu muttered.

"There's nothing we can do. After you disappeared, the eldest son's wife was found to be three months pregnant. The second son's family, Sanni, had just been fined, and now this child has been fined again. The family can't make a living relying on those few acres of land."

Yun Xi also thought that the second son was stupid. Instead of going to Southeast Asia, he would be better off going to his father-in-law's place to earn money. Maybe he could even find these two people here. Alas, it didn't matter what he thought at that time. The matter was done.

"The eldest son's wife has been urging her to remarry, but your wife is a good person and has ignored them. The second son's wife's family made a fortune at sea and has already built a two-story house. If nothing had happened to our family, we would probably be doing the same now." Yun Xi rambled on and on, "Ran'er is planning to raise more chickens this year to make more money, and then buy a small boat. Now that going to sea is making more money, more and more people are going out to sea."

Zhou Fu asked, "You said your family makes money?"

Yun Xi didn't say much, "Yeah, I made a braised pork recipe this year, and it sold pretty well."

The return journey went smoothly. On the boat, Yun Xi gave them liquid food every day and also gave them more canned food. When they reached the shore, their figures did not look so scary anymore.

The whole voyage lasted for twenty-nine days. Yun Xi paid one thousand five hundred yuan to the captain and gave red envelopes of fifty yuan each to the two crew members. The total cost of hiring people was two thousand four hundred yuan, not including the money for supplies.

“It’s so expensive, so expensive.”

Zhou Fu kept sighing.

"Don't think too much. It's good enough to have money back."

At this time, they were at the village dock, and Zhou Fu drooled at the various ships parked in the sea.

The three of them did not go back directly. Instead, they went to their daughter's house, reported the news, and chatted with Zhou Ran's family for a while before returning home.

Zhao Guohong was cleaning pig's trotters. When she came out to pour water, she saw three people coming from a distance and was stunned for a moment. "Lili, Dad and my boyfriend are back!"

Wang Lili put down the spatula and ran over. When she saw him, she couldn't help but burst into tears. It's so good, so good, he's finally back.

"Eldest wife, second wife, we are back!"

Zhou Fu looked at his long-lost home, tears streaming down his face. Zhao Guohong hugged Zhou Tingyu and cried bitterly, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The children were also very happy about their return. For Yun Xi, it was better to have two more laborers in the family.

With these two people around, Yun Xi no longer has to worry about the work in the fields and selling braised meat.

Zhou Fu hired a tiller, bought fertilizer and sweet potato seedlings, and hired people to plant the sweet potatoes. He planted the sweet potatoes in three days.

After there was no work to do in the fields, the two rested at home for half a month.

For the braised meat, they buy 400 yuan worth of raw materials every day. Half of them are sold wholesale, and Zhou Tingyu and his wife sell the other half. Now he can earn 500 yuan a day.
