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

Chapter 69 Harvesting Sweet Potatoes

When Mrs. Mei saw that Mei Lao Er was about to take the cow away, she didn't care what Mei Lao San said. She hurriedly said to Mei Lao Er: "Lao Er, why are you taking the cow away? Why don't you take it home to your mother quickly?"

Go away, you unfilial son."

Mei Laoer stopped and said coquettishly: "Sanya is afraid that it will poop in the yard, so I..."

Melo Mei shook her head. It seemed that her father always suffered when he fell in love with Mrs. Mei.

"Dad, give the cow milk!"

"What?" Mei Laoer was surprised. He didn't expect that his daughter would say such things. He gave Mrs. Mei the beef he had just bought. He couldn't bear to part with it!

Little Zhang: "That's right."

Mei Laosan: "It's still the general idea of ​​Sanya."

As long as he takes the cow back, he won't care about this girl anymore.

Mrs. Mei grabbed the reins, held it in her hand, and said impatiently: "If this is the case, it will be over. I have to let you run."

For the sake of this loser, I won’t scold her this time!

Seeing that Mrs. Mei was about to take the cow away, Melo Mei stood in front of her and said expressionlessly: "Hold on, I want to take the cow away. That's fine, but we bought this cow at a high price. In order to buy this

We borrowed one hundred and fifty taels of silver for a cow, and now that the cow has been given milk, the debt must be repaid as well."

Melome took out a contract from her arms and handed it over, "This silver is usury money, three cents per day, one hundred and fifty taels of silver. It will probably double in a few days. When the time comes, people will come to your door.

Don't blame your granddaughter for not warning you beforehand!"

The so-called usury is modern usury.

Mrs. Mei was stunned for a moment, and then she yelled:

"Okay, you money-losing guy, let me tell you why you are so kind-hearted all of a sudden. It turns out you want me to owe loan sharks. You damn girl, why are you so dark-hearted? Do you want to kill me?"

He lost the reins and jumped up and down in anger, "Mei Laoer, you black-hearted man, and you still said you were honest. It turns out that you are also a treacherous villain. You dare to help your daughter lie to me. I'll beat you to death if I don't."

.”

Mrs. Mei stepped forward and wanted to hit Mr. Mei, but Mei Qiying opened the door and stepped out to block her.

"Mom, go to your house and don't trouble my second brother again."

Mei Qiying took Old Mrs. Mei and dragged her outside.

"Qi Ying, why are you turning your elbows outward?"

She looked at her little girl in disbelief, feeling that she had changed. As for what was different, she couldn't think of a reason why.

Mrs. Mei couldn't get away, so she had to follow her. She didn't want to get usury money.

"Third uncle and three aunt, you guys are still not leaving now that I'm gone. Do you want to come in and drink tea?"

Seeing the youngest and his wife still working in the yard, Melo Mei looked at the two of them with a half-smile but not a smile, imitating the little Zhang, and spoke in a weird and eccentric manner.

"No, no need, we'll be back soon, we'll be back soon."

Mrs. Mei had already left, and the two of them knew that there would be no benefit if they stayed any longer.

This damn girl dares to send her own grandmother to prison, and even her own uncle dares to hold a kitchen knife to her neck. These uncles and aunts really don't dare to make too much trouble.

The two laughed awkwardly, slowly backed away, retreated to the front door, turned around and ran away.

"Bah... coward!"

Bully the weak and fear the hard.

"Sanya, I didn't expect you to be so powerful in combat, that you are not even afraid of your breasts?" Mei Qihai heard there was no sound outside the house, and then came out on crutches.

"Of course, otherwise you think I would let you hide in the house?"

When Mrs. Mei arrived just now, Mei Qihai was ready to come out to deal with it, but Melo Mei pulled her back. After all, it was important to maintain her legs.

"Sanya, did we really borrow usury?"

Mei Laoer was still stunned. He never imagined that his daughter would borrow loan sharks to buy cattle. This would be fatal. It would be lucky to lose everything if he was not careful. But if he lost his life, the gain would not be worth the loss.

Seeing the worries on their faces, Melome had to explain: "Dad, uncle, what are you thinking! How can I borrow usury? This is just to scare them. Otherwise, you will be bothered by asking for cattle every day."

bother!"

I stuffed the piece of paper into my sleeve and threw it into my system backpack. I felt that this cheating tool was really effective. I could even buy fake contracts.

The bullock cart incident came to an end, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After that, we started working and preparing things.

With the help of Mei Laoer, Melo Mei put the big tank she bought and asked him to fetch water and fill it.

Mei Laoer had to fetch water first, and then ran to repair the cattle pen.

Melome took out the dried mushrooms in the cellar and asked her sister-in-law and uncle to help her make mushroom sauce at home.

The three of them were busy until dark. Merlotao and Merlotoxing, who had gone out to help, came back to help in the evening, and finally made several bags of dried mushrooms into mushroom sauce and put them in jars.

This is the meal prepared by Melome, so it is natural that it cannot be careless.

In order to taste delicious, she also specially bought two chickens and cut them into diced meat and put them inside.

Time flies to the end of the year, and it is already winter, but there has never been a snowflake, not even a drop of rain has fallen. The Twin River has almost reached its bottom, and every man, woman, old and young in the village is frowning.

This means that they are going to migrate!

In the days before the New Year, Melomei went to the village chief and asked everyone to quickly take back the sweet potatoes from the field, because if it didn't rain, if they were left here, the green vines might turn into dry branches.

Take it back quickly while there is still a little water in it. The sweet potato vines can also be eaten as vegetables, which can be regarded as adding a little more rations to the villagers.

Although some people in this village are not good people, Melome believes that most people are still good.

Of course, her purpose of doing this was not just to help the villagers, but she didn't want to make her family the target of public criticism.

Think about it, everyone will have no food rations, only your family will have it. No one has anything to eat, but your family will have fish and meat. No matter how you look at it, they are all fat sheep. It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, so

At the very beginning, Merome sold the sweet potato vines to the villagers at a low price to plant them, which was considered a plan for the future.

On the road to escape, who knows what will happen!

"Dad, let's dig up the sweet potatoes and potatoes from the field too!" Mero Mei walked to the cow pen and said to Mei Lao Er who was feeding the cows.

Ever since the family bought a cow, his cheap father has not been able to see anyone for a day. He spends most of his time squatting in the cow pen watching the cow.

"It's time to dig it back. If we don't dig it out, maybe it will be stolen."

Recently, there are always people in the village who have food stolen from their fields, and the village chief organized people to arrest them several times, but they still failed to catch them.

Their home has never been robbed because Mei Qihai goes out to the fields every three days.

Mei Lao'er fed the cows, washed his hands, took back radish, a spatula, a pestle and a hoe, called a group of family members, and walked to his field in a mighty manner.

"Second brother, I saw that people in the village have started digging sweet potatoes today. I was just about to come back and call you, but I didn't expect you to arrive."

Mei Qihai took a sickle and held a handful of grass in his hand.

Ever since his legs recovered, he would walk in the fields with a sickle every day, cutting grass from time to time to feed the cows.

There isn't much grass in winter, and even if I look carefully I can't cut much in a day.

"There have been a lot of thieves in the village recently. It will be safer to dig them out as soon as possible."

Mei Laoer put down the radish and other things, only took a hoe and stepped forward, saying to Mei Qihai: "We will carry it in a while, and they can dig it out."

"I can do it." Mei Qihai had no objection.

Although the old doctor said before that he couldn't carry heavy weights, because he was young and had recovered better, there was no problem at all.

Mei Luoxing took a hoe and said, "Dad, my eldest sister and I will dig it up. My aunt will carry it for me and my third sister will pick it up."

Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, and Merome was even more happy, because it didn't take much effort to pick up sweet potatoes, and she could also sneak some into the system backpack.

After using it for so long, she finally understood some of the rules of the system.

Generally, there is no problem with collecting things into the system backpack, but if it is ill-gotten gains, such as stealing other people's money or stealing other people's things, the system will not allow it.

Approved.

Unless the other party is extremely evil and takes ill-gotten wealth, then you can accept it, but you must use it to do good deeds after accepting it, otherwise something similar to karma may appear.

Merome doesn't quite understand what karma is, but she knows that she should not be greedy for things that are not hers.

Several people dug together for several days, and finally finished digging the sweet potatoes and potatoes. They were all exhausted and almost collapsed.

"Finally the digging is finished."

As soon as Melome came home, she sat down on the stool without even wanting to move.

"You girl, what you did is pretty easy. Look at your eldest and second sister. They have blisters on their hands. Look at your father and uncle. They have skin on their shoulders. Look at me again.

I can’t even lift my arms.”

Mei Qiying squeezed the arm of the other hand with one hand. After several days of lifting it, she felt that the arm was no longer hers.

She rarely went to the fields before, but this year she suddenly had to do such heavy work, which was actually a bit overwhelming for her.

"I know everyone is taking care of me, can't I help but complain?" Melomei moved her hips and stood up, poured a cup of tea for Mei Qiying, and said: "Sister-in-law, we are too tired these days.

, let’s rest for two days before dealing with those sweet potatoes and potatoes!”

Mei Qiying: "How do you want to deal with it?"

Melome thought for a while and said: "We cut the sweet potatoes into strips, cooked them, dried them in the sun, and packed them. We also cut the potatoes into slices, boiled them with salt water, dried them in the sun, and fried them before packing them. This is lighter and does not need to be packed.

You can eat it directly after making a fire, which is more convenient."

On the way to escape the famine, you might not have time to eat, and if everyone ran out of food, it would be difficult to cook at home, so Merome thought it would be more convenient to cook the food before the time came.

This was a result of her previous experience of eating alone before the family was separated.

Mei Qiying drank the tea in one gulp and said: "This method is feasible. The weather is hot and buds may grow over time. Once cooked, there will be no such worries. However, we still have to save some seeds until we find a suitable place to live.

It’s easy to plant.”

This niece of hers has such a useful brain!

Since the separation, Mei Qiying often spends time with her niece. Mei Qiying feels that she has understood something that she has never understood before, which makes her even more convinced that her original decision was correct.

Asking for votes, comments, favorites, and popularity.
