After Transmigrating, She Became A Little Widow In A Farming Family

"Next time, Uncle Du, I'll catch a wild rabbit for you to eat, okay? Rabbit meat is even better than wild chicken meat." Du Wei said, patting Xiao Zihao's head.

"Really? Then thank you, Uncle Du." Xiao Zihao's eyes widened with excitement, looking at Du Wei with a big smile.

Li Suniang thought to herself: "You little boy, I won't slaughter a rabbit."

Du Wei looked at Xiao Zihao's adorable face and couldn't resist touching his cheek. "So soft, it would be great if he were my own."

Xiao Zihao was thrilled at the prospect of eating rabbit meat and couldn't wait to tell his mother. He bid farewell to Du Wei and walked towards his home, but then stopped and turned back to say: "Uncle Du, next time you come, don't forget to bring the basket. We only have this one good basket at home, the others are all broken, and my mother doesn't know how to make one. Don't forget, okay?"

After getting Du Wei's nod of agreement, Xiao Zihao continued on his way, with his dog following closely behind, wagging its tail excitedly.

Li Suniang thought to herself: "I'd like to cover this little boy's mouth! He's so stingy, unwilling to part with even one basket when someone has already given him two wild chickens. If we sold those chickens, we could buy several baskets like this!"

Du Wei glanced at the vegetable basket and looked around the courtyard a few times, still not seeing Li Suniang's figure. He felt a bit disappointed, but at the same time, he was happy to know how to win over his future wife. After all, he was skilled at weaving baskets like this, and he could make even better ones.

After seeing Xiao Zihao enter the courtyard and close the door, Du Wei picked up the basket and hurried home at a faster pace than usual. He wanted to quickly cut down bamboo and rattan to weave several baskets for his future wife using these two different materials.

When Lao Du returned home after a walk, he saw several bamboo poles and a pile of rattan in the courtyard.

"Hey, what's this for?" Lao Du asked curiously as he walked.

After entering the kitchen, he saw a basket of fresh, neatly arranged vegetables on the table and exclaimed: "Hey, you've been to Aunt Cuihua's house to get vegetables again! Aunt Cuihua is getting fancy. Look at how fresh and neatly arranged these vegetables are!"

Then, after turning around the kitchen, he said: "Didn't you go to the mountains today, how come I don't see anything?"

"I gave them away," Du Wei replied without lifting his head.

"Did you give them to my daughter-in-law?" Lao Du asked excitedly, looking at Du Wei.

"Yes, she returned a gift," Du Wei nodded in response.

"What gift? I didn't see it, you didn't hide it, did you?" Lao Du looked around the kitchen again but didn't see anything.

"The one on the table," Du Wei said, nodding his head towards the table.

"...on the table..." Lao Du looked at the table again, and then suddenly realized, "You mean the vegetables in the basket were sent by my daughter-in-law..."

"No wonder they look so fresh, I said Aunt Cuihua couldn't grow such fresh vegetables."

Just then, a voice came from outside, "Hey, Lao Du, tell me, what do you think of the vegetables I grow?" Cuihua walked in, holding a pot of freshly picked vegetables, with a hint of a smile.

"Lao Du, you've been eating my vegetables for years, haven't you? How come you're suddenly saying they're not good?"

Lao Du dryly laughed twice, then turned away, not looking at Cuihua.

Du Wei glanced at his father, thinking: See? I told you not to talk behind people's backs, and now you've been caught red-handed!

"Aunt Cuihua, please sit down," Du Wei said, putting down his work.

"No need to sit, I originally wanted to bring some vegetables for you, but it seems you don't need them. However, I must say, your vegetables do look fresher than mine," Cuihua said, looking at the vegetables on the table and then at her own.

Lao Du proudly lifted his head, thinking: See? I told you I was right!

"Who gave it to you?" Cuihua asked curiously.

Lao Du thought to himself, "Of course, it was my daughter-in-law who gave it to us."

Du Wei was unsure how to answer, fearing he might reveal too much.

Cuihua didn't press the issue, instead saying, "Well, since you already have vegetables, I'll take mine back home to cook."

Then she asked, "Hey, Lao Du, I saw many rattan and bamboo poles in your courtyard when I came in. What are you planning to do with them?"

Lao Du looked at his son, curious about the answer.

Du Wei replied, "Aunt Cuihua, I'm using them to weave baskets. Would you like some? I can make a few more."

Cuihua remembered the old baskets at home and said, "Thank you, I'd like two baskets. Our old ones are worn out and not sturdy."

Du Wei smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Cuihua. I'll ask my dad to make a few sturdy ones for you, after all, he's been eating your vegetables for years."

Lao Du thought, "This little scoundrel is teasing me again!"

Cuihua laughed and said, "Great, I'm looking forward to it!"

At noon, the father-son duo enjoyed the fresh vegetables, savoring the taste.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lao Du thought, "My daughter-in-law's vegetables are indeed delicious, crunchy, and sweet."

Du Wei thought, "It's indeed different when it's made by my wife."

Both father and son had unique confidence, already addressing her with terms usually reserved for family members, despite not being officially related yet.

After lunch, the father-son duo busied themselves with their respective tasks, weaving baskets, both working with a willing heart.

At Li Suniang's home, when she saw Xiao Zihao happily carrying a wild chicken to her, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart, and couldn't even scold him.

In her previous life, children of this age wouldn't lack meat, let alone light up at the sight of it.

But looking at Xiao Zihao, who almost always ate vegetables with her, and occasionally added an egg, Li Suniang felt that she was a useless mother, and that's why her child had to suffer.

Looking at Xiao Zihao's small face, whose eyes sparkled with joy, Li Suniang couldn't utter a single word of blame, and helplessly took the wild chicken from his hand.

"Mother, Uncle Du said that next time he'll exchange wild rabbits for vegetables. Mother, is rabbit meat delicious?" Xiao Zihao asked excitedly, squatting down to watch Li Suniang pluck the chicken feathers.

Li Suniang looked up at him and replied softly, "Mom doesn't know. I haven't eaten it either."

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Aunt Yang walked in and asked with a smile.

"Hello, Grandma Yang." Xiao Zihao turned his head and looked at Aunt Yang.

"Aunt Yang is here!" Li Suniang looked up at Aunt Yang and said.

"This is from the kid from the Du family!" Aunt Yang was so happy when she saw the pheasant in Li Suniang's basin that she was beaming with joy.

Li Suniang nodded a little embarrassed.

"Zihao, is the pheasant delicious?" Aunt Yang didn't talk to Li Suniang but asked Xiao Zihao, who was squatting beside and watching his mother plucking the chicken feathers seriously.

"It's delicious." Xiao Zihao nodded.

"How about Uncle Du? Do you like him, Xiao Zihao?" Aunt Yang asked.

"I like him. Uncle Du is amazing. He said he would kill a wild rabbit for me next time." When Du Wei was mentioned, Xiao Zihao's eyes immediately showed admiration and he said excitedly.

"Really? I'm glad that Xiao Zihao likes him." Aunt Yang looked at Xiao Zihao with a smile, and then said,

"Be good. Go to the house and help Grandma Yang move a small stool to sit on. Grandma is old, and her legs can't squat down anymore."

"Okay." Xiao Zihao nodded and ran to the house to move the stool.

"Aunt Yang..." Li Suniang shouted awkwardly. The child might not know what Aunt Yang meant by these questions, but as a person who had seen such a scene in his previous life, how could she not know?

Sure enough, Aunt Yang said with a serious expression.

"Suniang! I'm not being too arrogant, but don't blame me for being too talkative. You're only in your early twenties, you're still young, and your child is still young. You have to plan for your future. Life is long; you don't want to be a widow all your life! You know, it's hard to be a widow, and there are a lot of right and wrongs. Even if you don't cause trouble, there will be trouble. Those women who have been widowed all their lives have their own grievances."

Aunt Yang glanced at Li Suniang and saw that she was listening carefully and didn't show any impatience on her face, so she continued, "I think the kid from the Du family is not bad. Although he has a scar on his face and looks fierce, he is actually kind-hearted. Even Zihao said he was good. Besides, in his family, there is only one old man named Du. You have also met him and he is a very kind person. If you marry into his family, there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nor will there be troubles with discord between sisters-in-law.

Moreover, the boy of the Du family is also a capable person, so you don’t have to worry about the family’s financial problems. The only bad thing is that the boy spends less time at home all year round, and you may have to take more responsibility for the family affairs.

What’s more, I think the boy is also interested in you, so why don’t you...consider it carefully? "

Li Suniang was plucking the feathers of the pheasant while listening carefully to what Aunt Yang said. When she finally heard Aunt Yang asking her, she raised her head and looked at Aunt Yang and said, "Aunt, I know, I will definitely think about it carefully."

When she first came, she would think that she was just a widow with a child, what was there to be afraid of? She would have thought she was just like the single mother in her previous life. They could raise the children and then marry him and have children without any difficulties.

But later she found that it was different, absolutely different. There were not so many rules to constrain women in the previous life, but there are many here. Especially for widows, you can't make a mistake, otherwise you will get into a lot of trouble.

The only leniency for widows is that they can remarry with their children, unlike some dynasties, once you become a widow, you must stay a widow for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you will be accused of not being a good wife and will be severely punished.

Seeing that Li Suniang said seriously that she would consider what she said, Aunt Yang suddenly felt that her words were not in vain.
