Chapter 433 The Best Stepmother's Biological Son 19
The Zhu family was reborn, and after the initial disbelief, they had to face reality. However, facing a home with nothing, the three of them fell into silence.
Looking at the almost empty rice jar, Zhu Yaozu thought that the source of income for the family during this period was the not-so-valuable herbs in the mountains, so he could only say to Zhu Yuer: "Yuer, let's go to the mountain to find some herbs."
Zhu Yuer was a little reluctant to hear this, but she thought that she would have no food if she didn't go, so she agreed: "Okay."
Zhu Yaozu took Zhu Yuer to the mountain, and for the first time he intuitively felt his unlucky physique in this life. Along the way, he fell several times, and when he got to the mountain, his knees were all scratched and burning.
"Dad, how are you?" Although Zhu Yuer knew from her memories of this life that this life was different from the last life, her father did not become a rich man by doing business, but was still very unlucky. However, seeing him falling all the way, she still felt scared.
"I'm fine." Zhu Yaozu endured the pain and took Zhu Yuer to look for herbs everywhere.
The two searched for a day and only found a few plants. They hurried home before dark.
At night, Zhu Yaozu looked at the wounds on his body with complicated eyes. Thinking of Wang Xiuniang who was still in prison and didn't know what kind of person she was, Zhu Yaozu felt complicated.
Zhu Yaozu fell asleep with a heavy heart, while Zhu Youfu and Zhu Yuer couldn't sleep at all.
Zhu Youfu didn't go to the mountain with Zhu Yaozu and Zhu Yuer. He stayed at home all day and saw the situation at home clearly. Thinking that he was not only lame in this life, but also had nothing at home, which was broken and rotten, Zhu Youfu felt very uncomfortable.
Zhu Yuer was thinking about what happened on the mountain today, thinking about her father who was constantly unlucky, and the little herbs she had worked hard to find all over the mountain, and her heart was always restless.
No matter what the three people thought, they had to face reality. The next day, Zhu Yaozu and Zhu Yuer went to the mountain again.
After going there for several days, the harvest became less and less. Zhu Yuer came back one day and said, "Dad, I don't want to go anymore."
"Why don't you want to go?"
"We went there for a day and were tired and sleepy, but we only found a little bit of herbs. I think it's not worth it for so little." Zhu Yuer expressed her inner thoughts.
She really felt it was not worth it. In her previous life, she didn't have to do anything, and some of the things she did were for a purpose. She only needed to do very simple things and pay very little to achieve her goal.
But now, every day, she went to the mountains to work hard, sweating profusely to find herbs, but still couldn't eat well or feel full...
Hearing Zhu Yuer say this, Zhu Yaozu said, "Okay, then let's take a day off."
In fact, Zhu Yaozu was also very tired of such days. In his previous life, he had everything he wanted. Now he was injured and running around every day, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.
Zhu Yuer stopped for a day and finally felt a little better. The next day, she still didn't want to go. When Zhu Yaozu called her, she said, "Dad, I don't want to go anymore. I don't want to go anymore."
"What will we eat if we don't go?" Zhu Yaozu didn't want to go either, but now he had nothing and he had no other choice. If he called Zhu Yuer, he would have a companion and he would find more herbs. He had a bad luck and needed someone by his side.
"I don't know, but Dad, we go looking for herbs every day. When will we find them?"
Hearing Zhu Yuer say this, Zhu Yaozu paused. Hasn't he thought about this problem before? But there was no other way. They were now eating from one meal to the next. Finding herbs to sell for money was the idea that Zhu Youfu came up with every day after he was injured.
"Yuer, let's go for a while. I'll think of a way, okay? I won't let you stay like this forever." Zhu Yaozu promised.
When Zhu Yuer heard Zhu Yaozu say this, she thought of her father's ability in his previous life. Now she really had no other choice. She reluctantly hummed.
The two of them went there day after day for a month, and Zhu Yaozu couldn't think of any solution. Zhu Yuer became more and more anxious. After falling down one day, she was completely broken and said she didn't want to go at all.
"Dad, I won't go. I won't go no matter what you say." Zhu Yuer said, and saw Zhu Youfu with a blank expression on his face. Thinking that the current situation at home was partly caused by Zhu Youfu, she was furious.
"Dad, if you want to go, ask Zhu Youfu to go with you. His leg is just lame, not disabled."
Zhu Youfu had a blank expression when he heard Zhu Yuer mention his leg.
Zhu Yuer was well-behaved and obedient in her previous life, why is she so mean and ruthless in this life?
Thinking of her sarcasm towards him before rebirth, Zhu Youfu said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why do you say anything to me?"
"You stay at home every day and do nothing. I earn all the food with my hard work. Don't you allow me to say it?" Zhu Yuer said.
"How much did you earn? It was all earned by Dad, don't flatter yourself."
"You..." Seeing Zhu Youfu say this, Zhu Yuer was so angry that she looked at Zhu Yaozu, "Dad, I don't want to go anyway."
Zhu Yaozu saw Zhu Youfu's indifferent attitude and Zhu Yuer's angry look, and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go." Then he went to the town alone.
Arriving in the town, looking at the busy streets, Zhu Yaozu went straight to the prison to visit Wang Xiuniang.
Wang Xiuniang was surprised and delighted to see Zhu Yaozu.
"Yaozu? Is that you?"
"Xiuniang, it's me."
"You're back, you're finally back."
"Yes, I'm back. Are you doing well here?" Seeing Wang Xiuniang's haggard face and thin body, Zhu Yaozu knew that she was not doing well, but he still asked.
Hearing Zhu Yaozu's question, Wang Xiuniang suddenly felt aggrieved and her eyes were sore, but she still tried to hold back her tears and said, "I, I'm doing well, how about you?"
Wang Xiuniang said, and took a closer look at Zhu Yaozu. Seeing Zhu Yaozu's tattered clothes, she was stunned for a moment.
If she remembered correctly, Zhu Yaozu should be a big boss now, why is he still wearing such clothes?
Zhu Yaozu didn't know what Wang Xiuniang was thinking, and said, "We are not doing well, Xiuniang."
"Not doing well? Why are we not doing well?"
Seeing Wang Xiuniang's surprised look, Zhu Yaozu briefly told her what had happened in the past few years.
Hearing about the current situation of the Zhu family, Wang Xiuniang's eyes were full of disbelief, "How could it be? Yaozu, shouldn't you be doing well outside and doing business? And Youfu, how could he become a cripple? Why did everything turn out like this?"
Hearing Wang Xiuniang's mumbling, Zhu Youfu was stunned.
"Xiuniang, what did you say?"
Seeing Zhu Yaozu's shocked face, Wang Xiuniang realized that she had said the wrong thing this time and said, "No, nothing."
