White tea legend

Chapter 23 Although the road to immortality is difficult, I will never change my ambition

"Sister-in-law!"

"Brother and sister!"

The two sisters-in-law greeted each other warmly as soon as they got off the carriage.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law of the old woman's family are as close as sisters. When the two sons meet, they shake hands and pat each other on the shoulder to show their brotherly respect.

"I wonder what Mom wants us to do when she asks us to drive back in a carriage?"

Both sons felt strange.

The younger daughter-in-law said, "She probably wants us to use the carriage to help her sell the junk, right?"

They haven't come back to see their mother-in-law for a long time. She must have picked up a lot of rags day and night.

"She is so hard-working. She picks up rags day and night, and she can't sell for much. I'm just worried about her health. After all, she's so old. She picks up rags until late at night, and wakes up early and stays late. I'm afraid her body won't be able to bear it." It's worry.

"But it was useless to say it. It was for her own good, but she couldn't understand the good words, so she would have to quarrel with us later." The younger daughter-in-law told the truth.

The two daughters-in-law were treated differently by the old woman.

The old woman valued her eldest son more, and wished the wife a good family. Naturally, the old woman looked highly upon her eldest daughter-in-law.

When marrying a younger daughter-in-law, there is only a betrothal gift but no dowry. The younger daughter-in-law is also a daughter adopted by her natal family. The younger daughter-in-law’s parents are from peasant backgrounds, unlike Mr. Zhu who comes from a scholarly family and behaves more recklessly. The old woman and the younger daughter-in-law are at odds with each other. , look at each other with disgust.

If the same caring words were spoken by the eldest daughter-in-law, the old woman might be able to read them better. But if the words of concern were spoken by the younger daughter-in-law, the old woman would interpret the words in a negative way.

Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law understands the pain of the younger daughter-in-law.

It is rare for sisters-in-law to have no friction and still cherish each other.

The two young couples met at the door of the old woman's house. The old woman heard the sound at the door and opened the door.

It was hard to tell whether the old woman looked sad or happy. If she said she was sad, her face was full of excitement. If she said she was happy, there were tears in her eyes, which made her two sons and daughter-in-law suspicious.

After following the old woman through the door, I immediately saw the golden hill at the patio. It looked like tattered shoes and broken utensils, but it shone with golden light.

The scene was quite spectacular, and the two young couples were shocked on the spot.

"Mom, what is this?" the son and daughter-in-law asked tremblingly.

"Gold."

After receiving the old woman's answer, the four juniors stepped forward and started to touch her. They not only touched her, but also put it in her mouth to bite her. Even though the eldest daughter-in-law was so dignified and steady, the daughter-in-law also lost her composure at this time.

Seeing the happy expressions of the four juniors, the old woman was very satisfied and proud, "That's why I asked you to drive the carriage over. You can't take it back with your hands alone."

"Mom, are these for us?" The person who asked the question was the daughter-in-law. At this time, the look in her eyes at the old woman no longer had the disgust before, and all she showed was a golden gaze.

"You two will share the money equally. I am a fair and just man." The old woman said very generously.

"Mom, where did you get all this gold?" the eldest son asked worriedly.

The old mother, a sixty-year-old woman, suddenly accumulated such a huge amount of wealth, her origins are inevitably suspicious.

"It's neither stealing nor robbing. It's just the rags I usually pick up. You didn't let me pick up the rags because you were worried about losing the face of your children. It's fine now. The gods are helping me."

The old woman talked enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

Speaking of gods, the old woman wanted to ask the gods to come out and vouch for her, but she thought that Lu Yu had asked her to spend half a gold mountain to buy Ganoderma lucidum for his wife's illness, but she refused.

What if she invites the gods out at this moment and the gods ask her to spend half a gold mountain to buy Ganoderma lucidum for her wife?
  Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law were waiting for her to invite the gods to come out, the old woman became anxious and said, "I don't want any gold. Are you stupid? How can I, an old woman, stand such a big gold mountain here? What if there are thieves?" What to do? Before this incredible wealth is exposed, you two brothers quickly and quietly moved home. Anyway, whatever property your father and I have is yours. If you don’t give it to me now, you will give it to me even if you die..."

The old woman spoke so passionately that she even moved herself to tears. Both her son and daughter-in-law were very moved. Even the youngest daughter-in-law, her eyes were red at this time. She felt that apart from her annoying personality, the old woman's love for her children was impeccable.

The sons and daughters-in-law were persuaded by the old woman, and they all went to move the gold. The gold was originally made from pieces of broken pieces, and it was not difficult to move it. The old woman found a few sacks for her son and daughter-in-law to carry the gold nuggets.

The eldest son felt uncomfortable while pretending, and asked the old woman: "Mom, since we have so much gold, why not pay off the debts for the eldest sister's family. The eldest sister's family is in debt and life has been difficult..."

The eldest son's words were immediately interrupted by the old woman.

"What does it have to do with our married daughter's debt?"

The old woman's expression was serious and fierce, and her son and daughter-in-law couldn't understand her for a while.

When the gold in the courtyard was finally loaded onto the two carriages, the son and daughter-in-law remembered that during the day, the old man and the old woman went to their house to deliver the message. Why was the old man nowhere to be seen now?

"Is dad still in the Yamen?" the eldest son asked.

"Since the family has so much money, don't let dad sweep the floors in the Yamen. Dad is too old to do those errands." The second son said.

The old woman snorted coldly: "He has quit his job a long time ago."

"Where is dad? Why don't you see dad at home?"

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law asking, the old woman reluctantly said: "He is sick and is lying in bed! I don't know whether he is really sick or fake."

As soon as they heard that their father was ill, their son and daughter-in-law immediately became nervous and wanted to ask a doctor to come and see him. However, the old woman drove him away, saying that the old man was fine and that it was important for them to transport the two carts of gold back first.

The sons and daughters-in-law were worried, but they couldn't resist the old woman's toughness.

Outside the window, the noise gradually quieted down. It seemed that the old woman was sending her two sons and daughter-in-law out.

There was another sigh in the air:
  "Why does this old woman care so little about life and value money?"

The immortal in white was sitting at the table, writing medical prescriptions with a brush, and smiled when he heard sighs.

"It's not that she is indifferent to life. If her two sons get sick, she will be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."

"What if her daughters get sick?"

After Bai Cha asked, he immediately felt that there was no need to ask more questions:
  "She has so much gold, but she is only willing to share it equally with her two sons. She is not willing to help her daughter in trouble. How can she care whether her daughter is sick?"

Lu Yu put down his writing brush and nodded: "It seems that you already have some understanding of human nature. You have just entered the lower realm and you are already practicing diligently. What you said makes sense. Although the lower realm is not as good as the heaven, every cloud, cloud, smoke and mist can help. It is beneficial to practice, but the way of practice in the lower realm is far from comparable to that in heaven."

"not understand."

"Cultivation in heaven nourishes your mouth and body, but cultivation in the human world nourishes your mind most of all. Since you are dedicated to cultivating immortality, you must have a thorough understanding of the world's worldly affairs. Otherwise, how can you address the needs of the people and relieve their sufferings?"

In the soil, the tea tree swayed its branches and leaves, sighing: "Why is it so difficult to cultivate immortality?"

She finally reached the heaven, studied hard for three hundred years, and finally won the first place in the exam. She was about to obtain the immortal book, but she didn't expect that everything would be brought back to the original point.

"Then you can give up now."

Lu Yu picked up the medical prescription and blew dry the ink on it.

The tea tree in the soil cried out: "How is it possible? The harder it is, the more we have to do it."

Since resolving the suffering of common people is a part of spiritual practice, then knowing the suffering of common people is the prerequisite for this part.

"Miracle doctor, will the old man die?"

"Not really."

"Then let's go see their daughter!"

Cha Shuer wanted to know what kind of girl such a weird old woman would raise.
