Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 The First Time Working on the Farm Chapter 15: Chapter 15 The First Time Working on the Farm Early the next morning, Shen Yunfang got up and was busy feeding her four old hens. She found two eggs in the chicken coop, washed them, and boiled them in a big pot. She also stuck a few cornmeal pancakes to the side of the pot, eating them with soybean paste and salty vegetables until she was full.

She was someone who had lived an extra lifetime, and her mentality was different from the current people who were reluctant to eat good food, always saving for later. It was not until her dying day that she understood a principle: What is the point of living life? It’s all about satisfying your stomach. Only when you eat well can you have good health. Only with good health can you be in the mood and have the ability to do more, and only then can life take a turn for the better and have meaning.

Just like in her previous life when she reached her fifties, she was wealthy, but her health was poor. At that time, even if delicacies from land and sea were placed before her, she lacked the appetite and mood to eat. Reflecting on her past, Yunfang very much agreed with the saying that one should avoid sickness at all costs and never be broke. Life’s good times are few, so one should enjoy themselves when the conditions allow.

Of course, to stay healthy means taking care of one’s body. Besides exercising, one must eat well.

So, early in the morning, Shen Yunfang boiled the only two eggs she had at home and ate them. Only what you eat is truly yours. If the other old ladies in the village knew, they would definitely say she didn’t know how to live. In these times, who would be willing to eat two eggs in one go, like her? They were supposed to be saved and sold for money.

After a full meal, Shen Yunfang shouldered her hoe lazily and headed to her family’s private plot of land.

The private land belonging to Shen Family was allocated during her father’s time. Because they were a family of three, the village gave them nine points of land. Later, when only mother and daughter were left, no one bothered them, and now that she was alone, even less so.
