Allure of a Country Maiden

Shen Chengguang returned to the east wing with a dark face. Mr. Shen sighed softly in his heart and shook his head. After the separation, even the two most honest sons had their own ideas and did things that were both obedient and treacherous. In the past, the two daughters-in-law seemed to be the most filial and obedient, but now it seems that they are not easy to deal with. At least you can't say anything about it if others do it. Moreover, the third son's family actually bought so much wasteland at once, and he, a father, was kept in the dark. Why didn't the son dare to tell his father how much land he bought? Are you worried about being taken over? Mr. Shen was very worried. Could it be that he had been wrong to stick to his eldest son first, thinking about making his family rich first, and then improving the lives of his other sons?

By the way, Mr. Shen thought too much this time. Shen Chengyao didn't say it before because he was really busy and forgot. But that night, to put it more vaguely, it was because he felt that the time was wrong. At that time, it was not long after the Shen Zhuang family had made a big fuss. In less than an hour, and buying so much wasteland at once, even the village chief disapproved of it, not to mention his parents. He just didn’t want to be scolded, and he felt in his heart that he would definitely make a lot of money from the wasteland he bought this time, but for this The unfounded self-confidence of one's own children cannot convince others. They only want to prove everything with facts.

Seeing Shen Chengguang return to the east wing angrily, Mr. Shen Zhuang asked, "What's wrong? What did the village chief say?"

Mr. Shen did not hide anything and told the story in detail. After hearing this, Mr. Shen Zhuang was so angry that he immediately threw away the sewing basket in his hand and prepared to get off the kang to settle accounts with Mr. Liu and Mr. Lu.

Mr. Shen stopped her and said, "Okay, what are you doing? If you start making trouble without caring about it, Chengguang and Wen'er will lose their face! If you make trouble, what Chengguang just reconciled will be in vain. Let everyone know whether Wen'er will be an official in the future." Alas, this study is very expensive, and the third child doesn't know how to help his brother.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang still listened to the old man's words, but she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart. She thought that it was Mrs. Liu's turn to cook today, so she had to teach her no matter what.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side. Some villagers came over and asked Ms. Liu if they could start clearing land now. Ms. Liu nodded: "Yes, our family has bought the wasteland on both sides of the road at the head of the village. Everyone can start clearing land now, but you have to bring your own farm tools. Fifty Wen One acre, once it’s finished, ask me to check it, and if it passes the test, I’ll give you money right away.”

After hearing that we can open up land now, we didn’t say any more. We quickly lined up to sign up and then went home to get farm tools. Those who go first can also choose a better piece of land to open up, which can also save some effort and time. Open more lands.

Most of the villagers in this era are not afraid of tiredness or hardship, but are afraid of not having work to do and not having food to eat. They believe that human strength is endless, but in many cases there is no way to make money even if they are willing to put in the effort. Five days later, at least one person from almost every household went to work. Now they are seizing the time to work. It can be said that the whole family, old and young, are all joining the battle.

Mrs. Liu and her three daughters-in-law were talking to the side.

"Daughter-in-law Chengyao, the wages your family pays are a bit too high. If you ask me, if you pay thirty or forty cents, many people will do it. Now is the slack season, and most people are at home." Dashi's daughter-in-law whispered. He said that Mrs. Liu had asked her to help open up wasteland before, and she agreed without saying a word. She didn't say anything about the salary. She was really shocked when she heard fifty cents per acre.

Dashu’s wife also nodded. "With such high wages, your family suffers a great loss. We, the couple, will work for you for a few days without any wages. Anyway, we are idle at home."

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "How can this be possible? Everyone else has given it, and I won't give you less. That girl Xiao'er said that if you give more wages, everyone should work harder, and we can work faster." When we open up the land, we should help the villagers and accumulate some blessings."

After hearing this, the blessed daughter-in-law praised: "Girl Xiaoer is kind at heart and capable. Sister-in-law, you are blessed."

"Xiao'er is an idea person. She is so capable at a young age. She is the first in our village." Because they have good friends with Mrs. Liu, they usually go to wash clothes with her, so they know her family. Most of the money for buying the land was earned by Xiaoer from selling pictures.

"Perhaps it's true that surviving a catastrophe will lead to blessings. Xiao'er hit his head before and almost died. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep for several nights. I didn't expect that I would be smarter than before when I woke up." Thinking of what happened before, Ms. Liu felt distressed.

"I think sister-in-law, you are very lucky. Your family members Jing Rui and Jing Hao are also pretty good. Look at the way Jin Rui spoke just now. He is not nervous at all. He is more impressive than you are the head of the family."

"Children don't know what fear is yet, unlike us adults who can't always hide their faces."

At this time, a young daughter-in-law walked up to Mrs. Liu and said weakly, "Sister-in-law Liu, I also want to sign up, can I?"

Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Liu said enthusiastically, "It's Wenhui. Of course, I'll count you in the share later."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Liu, then I will go to open up wasteland now." Xu Wenhui said very quietly, but Ms. Liu still heard it and nodded.

"Oh, poor child, she is still so young. I really wronged her." Mrs. Liu looked at her retreating figure and said with pity.

This young daughter-in-law was named Xu Wenhui. She and her husband divorced two years after they got married. It turned out that she was married to a scholar. Two years after getting married, she passed the exam and was chosen by a high official, who planned to recruit him as his son-in-law. When the scholar heard about it, she divorced her on the pretext that she had nothing to do after two years of marriage. But Xu Wenhui disagreed. The Minze Dynasty stipulated that the wife could be divorced only if she had nothing to do after three years of marriage. She did not agree to be divorced, but she was willing to reconcile. The scholar agreed. After all, the consequences of divorce and divorce were the same for him.

Xu Wenhui returned to her parents' home, but her brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her. Her only mother was also sad and angry because of her. Her already poor health became even worse, and she died within a year. Then she was kicked out by her sister-in-law. It was the village chief who took pity on her and gave her a piece of land, and asked several men in the village to build her a thatched house and enclose a yard, so that she had a place to stay. She usually makes a living by doing some needlework and growing vegetables in the yard of the thatched house to sell.

Now she is only over nineteen years old, not even twenty yet, and she has begun to live the life of a widow. People in the village rarely have contact with her because of her reputation for being aloof, and when her sister-in-law exaggerates how she is. Lazy, no matter how petty theft, she lived a life of being pointed out by others every day, so she became less and less courageous.

"She was right about the marriage. She was a very good girl before. It's all because of her bad fate. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this if she married a good man." Dashi's wife shook her head and sighed.

"Her former husband-in-law was really not a human being!" Youfu's wife said angrily.

"This is the second reincarnation of a woman's family. We must inquire about the family of our daughter's husband in the future." Dashu's wife thought that her daughter was also ten years old, so she couldn't help but warn her. The three of them all nodded in agreement, but that's not the case. Well, life is too long. If you marry a bad person, how will you live it?

The four of them changed the subject and talked about other things. At this time, a sharp voice intervened: "Oh, third brother and sister, you are hiding it very closely. You bought so much land, it costs two or three hundred taels at least." Well, this person is also offering you a high salary of fifty cents per acre. You are already rich, so why are you always hiding it at home?"

"What did the second sister-in-law say? The child's father has already told her parents that we bought wasteland to open up wasteland and build a house."

Yesterday, she also knew that Sanfang and his family had bought wasteland to build a house, but she didn't know that they had bought so much. These more than 80 acres of wasteland, plus two hills, added up to at least more than 200 acres, which is two hundred acres. It only takes three hundred taels to win it. Where did the third family get so much money? It really made her jealous and jealous.

"Anyone who has money is not hiding it, is it possible that your money is taken out and divided?" Fu Fu's wife can't stand people like Li the most. She has had some small disputes with her in the past, so she can't bear it. Stay stabbed back.

"It's none of your business what I'm talking to Mrs. Liu, go ahead and stop meddling in other people's business."

"Isn't it true that we were talking here first and you intervened, then I saw injustice on the road!"

…

The two had a heated argument.

At this time, Xiaoer took a list of registrations and walked over to Jingrui, "Mom, everyone has given their names. Let's go to the village head to see the situation. Aunts, are you going?"

"Go, why don't you go." The blessed wife replied loudly, and then left without even looking at Mr. Li.

"Second sister-in-law, are you going?" Ms. Liu asked Ms. Li, who had just pulled away and was about to curse.

When Mrs. Li saw her blessed daughter-in-law leaving, she snorted, "I'm not going!"

Mrs. Li saw that Aunt Wang and a few women in the village didn't know what they were talking about, so she planned to listen. Those few people were the gossip masters in the village, and now they were interested in talking or had something new to say.
