After passing through the book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 102 Looking for someone to work with

In this world, if you don’t have money, who will care about you?

"Dad, don't we still have some money?"

Before they went out, she gave each of them five hundred taels of silver. She didn't see many people spending money during their escape!

"It's a little bit, but prices in Beijing are definitely much higher than in Yinzhou, and with the money we have, we need to repair a house and buy furniture and food. Even if the whole family has enough money to gather together, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

If it doesn't rain that day, the price of food will only get higher and higher, and there will still be a price but no market.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but interjected: "Your father is right, it costs fifty taels to enter the city gate, so we have to save money. At worst, we will suffer a little more."

Melome was dissatisfied and said: "Father and mother, you can be lucky, but I don't want to continue to live a life where the ground is the bed and the sky is the quilt. I want to live in a big house, sleep on a big bed, eat big fish and meat, and wear silk clothes."

Wear silk and satin, go out in a carriage, and have a few maids by your side."

In the past three years, I have either slept in an ox cart or on a stone slab, or chopped hay. The most comfortable place to sleep is probably Jun Buhuan's arms.

She misses the modern Simmons, the high bed and soft pillow, so she can dream.

She finally went to school once, but if she didn't enjoy anything, she felt like she was at a disadvantage, so she thought about making a lot of money and becoming the richest man, preferably as rich as the country.

"Haha, Third Sister, now we have trouble even settling down, so you're thinking of becoming a young lady from a rich family?"

Mei Luoxing held an armful of weeds and threw them aside. She turned around and couldn't help but tease her sister.

Melome: "Second sister, people must have ideals and pursuits, and look far ahead, otherwise there won't be much meaning in life."

Mei Qiying on the side said: "I think Mei Mei's idea is very good. If possible, I would also like to make more money."

The disasters of the past few years have taught her that only if she has money can she avoid a lot of trouble.

"Did you see? Sister-in-law is the best." Melo Mei went up and held Mei Qiying's arm, smiling.

"Oh, I finally caught up with you."

A few people were chatting when suddenly someone came over.

I looked up and found that it was my sister-in-law's family.

Mei Xiang wanted to be neighbors with Mero Mei and the others, but because her younger brother Mei Shu was relatively small, he had to feed and change diapers. After cleaning up, he looked around and found that Mei Lao Er and his family had left early.

They originally planned to catch up, but were asked by the village chief to help clean up the weeds in the foundation of his house, so they didn't come over until now.

"You came here just in time, we need manpower to clean up the weeds!"

As soon as Mei Luoxing saw how many people there were, she immediately went to greet them.

She has now become good friends with Mei Zhi, the second daughter of her sister-in-law's family. Since they are similar in age, they often talk and work together.

The sister-in-law said: "That's just right. Let's cut together and the road will be cleared soon."

The few of them chatted for a while, ate some dry food, and continued cutting grass.

Melo Mei has an extra job, taking care of three-year-old Mei Shu.

He was still a baby when he fled the famine, but now he is three years old and can run, jump and call people.

"Sister Mei, can I ride the bull?"

Xiao Meishu looked at the big bull next to him and was very excited, his eyes shining.

If it weren't for the fact that the cow didn't belong to his family, Melome suspected that he might have been eager to get on it.

"You can ride if you want, as long as you don't fall down."

I picked him up and put him on the back of the cow, feeling secretly relieved.

It's good to have something you like, but it would be difficult if you love to cry.

Raising a baby is always nerve-wracking, and I don’t know how I can persevere in this life.

The two families, covered with stars and wearing moonlight, cut until noon the next day and finally cleared a path.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Mei Laoer couldn't help but frown when he saw the mountain full of black vines.

"This mountain is full of thorn trees. Cutting them down for firewood is a problem. It seems that we will have to buy firewood for cooking in the future."

Li sighed: "Oh, this is another expense."

In this place, I was unfamiliar with the place, and the land I was allocated was completely barren. There were two mountains, but I couldn't even cut firewood. I just felt that the countryside in the capital was not as good as their Shuanghe Village.

My sister-in-law looked at this place anxiously, "What should I do?"

Mei Ju, who was standing next to her, saw her mother's sad face and said, "Mom, don't worry. Once we settle down, I'll go see who's buying a maid. Then I'll earn some money and come back."

She had thought about it on the way here. Now that her father is gone, she is the eldest sister and has the responsibility to take care of her younger siblings and mother.

When the sister-in-law heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said anxiously: "My daughter, how could you have such an idea? Do you know that being a maid is worse than a common person, and when the time comes, you will be beaten or killed, but she is just a master of the house?"

It’s a matter of one sentence.”

Mei Luoxing advised: "Yes, Sister Mei Ju, you are not free when you are a maid."

Mei Ju said: "I can't live any longer. Who cares whether it's free or not? I just hope that my younger siblings and my mother will be well. That's enough."

These words made the eyes of both families turn red. Thinking of the lost Mei Luotao, Mrs. Li even cried: "I have no news of my Tao'er till now, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive. In this world, I pray for my family's safety."

It’s not easy.”

"Yeah, if there hadn't been this drought, my boss wouldn't have died because of the water."

The two women talked, and when they got to the point where they were sad, they hugged each other and started crying.

Speaking of the lost eldest sister and uncle, Melome couldn't help but feel sad. She just hoped that both of them could reach the capital safely.

"Mom, don't worry, eldest sister will be fine." Mei Luoxing cried and stepped forward to persuade Mrs. Li.

Mei Ju also wiped away her tears and said, "Mom, don't worry, even if dad is gone, I will take good care of you."

Mei Xiang didn't speak, she just stood aside with the sickle, looking at her mother and sister, and looking into the distance thoughtfully.

Seeing everyone crying together, Melome couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Once settled, I will go outside to look for my sister and uncle."

Just waiting like this is really not an option, you still have to go out and ask around to get the latest news.

Several people had cried enough, wiped away their tears, and continued working.

It would be a few days before a clearing was cleared around the area.

Seeing this, Merome was secretly worried. If they were allowed to continue like this, they would not be able to plant crops this year.

Thinking of this, he drove the cow aside, carried the plum tree to Mei Laoer who was working, and said:

"Dad, if you don't hire someone, I'll hire someone. If you work all day long, you'll be exhausted and you won't be able to do much work. If you keep going like this, even if you just build a shack, it might take a month or two."

"

It took several days for Mei Lao'er to clear out some areas. He also knew that the speed was too slow, but there was nothing he could do. He still thought it was better to keep the money.

"Meimei, dad is doing this for your mother's sake. It's not easy to earn money, but dad has plenty of strength and can do it slowly."

Melome frowned: "At your rate, are you going to be able to grow food this year?"

Her tomatoes, peppers and corn are still waiting to go to the fields!

"I'm afraid I won't be able to plant it this year. I don't know when the gravel in this field will be completely cleared."

Mei Laoer thought about building a shack to live in first, and then take care of the rest after a while. He also thought about whether to go out to find some work during the busy farming season, so that he could earn some food.

Merome put the plum tree down and said: "Hey, how long will it take for you to pick up these pebbles? I think we can just pull out the grass and plow the ground to plant sweet potatoes."

Anyway, sweet potatoes prefer sandy soil, as they are easy to dig, do not accumulate water, and are sweet.

"We'd better find people to work now and repair the house at the same time. There are so many refugees outside anyway. If you provide some food, there will be plenty of people to work."

Afraid that Mei Laoer would be suspicious, he dragged Jun Buhuan out to take the blame: "Brother Huan gave me a lot of food. I found a place to hide it. I can take it whenever I want."

She could finally see that as long as there was something that couldn't be explained, it would be right to drag Jun Buhuan out and take the blame.

In the past, he was just a young son from a "minor official" family, and the people in the village were scared to death of him. If anything happened to him, no one dared to ask anything.

Now that he has transformed into the emperor's younger brother, the prince's uncle, the young prince Huan, and a border soldier, no one dares to question him, so now Melomei even takes out a cannonball and says it was given by Jun Buhuan

, I’m afraid the villagers won’t doubt it either.

When Mei Laoer heard that there was still food, he immediately put down what he was doing and said, "Let's go, let's go to Village Chief Lu and find a few people to help."

Although he doesn't really like his daughter's relationship with Jun Buhuan, neither his daughter nor the other party agree with him, and he is helpless, and now he just turns a blind eye.

"That's right."

Melo Mei sent Mei Shu to find his mother, while she and Mei Lao Er drove an ox cart to find Village Chief Lu.

After walking around the village and asking several villagers, I finally found out where Village Chief Lu lives.

Mei Laoer ran up and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman opened the door and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Mei Laoer, "Is this the village chief Lu's home?"

The woman glanced at Mei Laoer's empty hands and said with an unhappy expression: "The master has gone out and is not at home."

"When can you come back?"

"Who knows when he will come back? I think you should go back first."

The woman snorted coldly and closed the door with a bang.

Mei Lao Er ate a soft nail and was disappointed. He came back and said to his daughter sitting on the bullock cart: "Meimei, the village chief is not at home, how about we go back first?"

"Dad, he's not at home. I guess you didn't bring anything to the door."

Melome had just seen clearly on the oxcart that the woman had been looking at her father's hand, and her expression turned bad when she saw that she didn't take anything.

Mei Laoer said coquettishly: "We don't have much good stuff now, so we haven't thought about it so much. How about we go to the street to buy something before we come back?"

Merolo frowned and said: "Forget it, it's okay if you don't ask him, let's go directly outside to find someone."

Anyway, she didn't really want to ask him for help. She came here just to test him out first.

It would be better to shirk it and go find someone else. If the village chief comes to her in the future, she will have something to say.

Thinking of this, Melomei asked Mei Laoer to drive and walked all the way out of the village.
