Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

There is a small stove in the room, and next to it is a basket with several sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The shopkeeper of the inn is quite careful, knowing that the guests can’t buy anything to eat at night, so in order to fill their stomachs, they can bake sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Li Haitang drank a cup of tea, roasted a small potato, tore off the skin, sprinkled some salt and pepper on it, took a bite, and the potato was sandy and sticky. If it was served with chili sauce, the taste would be stronger.

She and the savage husband split into two groups, but asking her to go out to find someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. Where can she find Yun Jinghong?

She was worrying when suddenly there was a voice at the door.

"Did you know that a few days ago, seven or eight corpses were brought out of the City Lord's Mansion!"

The speaker was an old woman with a hoarse voice. She spoke barbaric language, but Li Haitang could understand it.

In the boundary of Sishui City, the common people can speak Daqi dialect and Man language, and they can understand each other, but there are some differences in pre-adjustment.

"It was lifted out again?"

The other person exclaimed, and then said, "Who is really ruthless?"

"That's right, tsk tsk, from the beginning of the year to now, dozens of maids have died, and they were carried out every now and then. Who knows what mistakes they made!"

After finishing speaking, the woman sighed, "We are middle-aged people, and we can't lose our conscience. I can't push people into the fire pit when those little ladies come out to beg for life."

Going to the city lord's mansion, the salary is high, and the food and accommodation are good, but the problem is that you have to live to enjoy it.

What was carried out was only a part, and there was a group of people who were fed by the beasts that the city lord Yu Wenshou raised. It was said that they were living people, and they were torn apart abruptly!

The mother-in-law is trembling every time she comes to Surabaya City, and what is more depressing this time is that the inner courtyard manager of the City Lord's Mansion wants to find someone who knows everything about it to work in the big kitchen.

After all, it is about eating and drinking, and the eighteen generations of ancestors must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise, if there is a chance to poison, it will not be one or two people who will be implicated.

"Mrs. Chen, the steward has specified that he wants your daughter-in-law, what can you do?"

The person opposite the old woman also sighed, and then said, "Anyway, I won't do this business anymore, the people of the city lord's mansion, we ordinary people can't afford to offend you, today I want you to be a daughter, and tomorrow I may want my own daughter Already!"

The other party did not say a few words, and slipped away with oil on the soles of their feet, leaving only Mrs. Chen sighing.

Li Haitang was inside the door, and after hearing about it, he felt that this was a great opportunity!

Mrs. Chen is a middle-aged person. To put it bluntly, she is just a person. She did wicked business in her early years and suffered retribution. A heavy snowfall caused snow and quicksand. Her son, daughter, and man were all crushed in the snow, and no corpse was found in the end.

Since then, Mrs. Chen has changed her temper and become compassionate. Although she still does this business, she no longer forces women into prostitution. She has been doing it for many years and has a good reputation.

This time, the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion also inquired about her reputation. Hearing that she had a goddaughter, he asked someone to pass the word to let her goddaughter go to work in the big kitchen of the city lord's mansion.

This time, Mrs. Chen was completely dumbfounded. She had a goddaughter for many years, which was somewhat similar to her younger daughter who died before, and she had no father or mother. , Don't you want people's lives!

However, in the City Lord's Mansion, she couldn't afford to offend her. After crying for a few days, Mrs. Chen's hair turned gray.

She didn't bring her goddaughter with her when she came this time, she wanted to see the governor of the city lord's mansion, give her property, and beg the other party to let her go.

Just after hearing from an acquaintance that the corpse was brought out a few days ago, she was determined not to send her goddaughter there.

What should we do? If you buy another person temporarily to fool you, what if the other party says it's missed? Besides, she really didn't want to hurt anyone.

Seeing this, Li Haitang had an idea in her heart. If it was feasible, she wanted to replace Mrs. Chen's goddaughter into the big kitchen.

She is a little familiar with the big kitchen. She sneaked in before and got food from Liniang. The big kitchen is the center of the house, and she can go to the front and back yards. It is convenient to walk, and it is the best place to inquire about news!

Thinking of this, Li Haitang pretended to cry alone in the room, and sure enough, Mrs. Chen was soft-hearted, and knocked on the door when she heard the crying.

"Little lady, when you are away from home, just tell me if you have any difficulties. The old lady will help you if you can. Don't cry."

Standing at the door, Mrs. Chen saw Li Haitang crying by herself, thinking of her goddaughter, her heart softened for a while, and she tried to persuade her a few times.

"Auntie, my husband lied to me to come here, but the others disappeared, and all my belongings were taken away by her. How will I live in the future?"

Li Haitang rubbed his eyes and used some tear gas. Fortunately, the mask wouldn't hurt if it got wet, and it stuck firmly to his face.

Barbarians are cold-blooded, and many of them abandon their wives. Mrs. Chen is not surprised. She once persuaded several young ladies who were abandoned by their husbands to go out to pick up customers to make money, and instilled in them the idea of ​​self-reliance.

"This…"

Mrs. Chen paused for a moment, but finally realized with conscience, she took out her purse, which contained a hundred or so texts, and asked Li Haitang to use it as travel expenses, and hurried home.

"Auntie, I won't go home until I find my husband, he is in Surabaya City."

Li Haitang didn't ask for money, but insisted on knowing why her husband abandoned her.

"A man is heartbroken, no reason is needed, why are you doing this!"

Mrs. Chen persuaded her a few times, and then carefully looked at Li Haitang. She was a teenager, about the same as her daughter-in-law.

Besides, the steward of the city lord's mansion has never seen her as a daughter, even if they sent Li Haitang there. Although Mrs. Chen was a little kind, she still chose the former if it was unlucky for others or herself.

She finds a job for Li Haitang, which can fill her stomach, and in the kitchen, she can eat and drink well, and can walk back and forth, and occasionally go out of the house with the manager of purchasing, which is the most free.

"Is there still such an errand?"

Li Haitang expressed that he was very interested, and begged Mrs. Chen for help, and was about to kneel down immediately.

"You don't have to kneel to me. My goddaughter is Xiaohong. She was favored by the steward of the city lord's mansion. If you want to come to the kitchen, you will replace Xiaohong this time."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen still talked about the stakes. If Li Haitang didn't want to go, she wouldn't force it.

"Auntie, you have to eat wherever you are. Of course I am willing to go. Don't worry, I will be Xiaohong from now on."

Li Haitang was very kind, and the two hit it off almost immediately. Mrs. Chen even helped her comb her hair into the hair accessories of the girls from Manzi, and found her a new cotton jacket and skirt.

Manzi's jacket and skirt are made of camel's hair, which is warmer than ordinary cotton, and it fits snugly on the body, and is very comfortable. Almost without much effort, Li Haitang transformed into a new servant of the city lord's mansion, Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law Xiaohong.
