The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 17: Knowledge Learned is Incorrect

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Ye Xiaorou naturally had more thoughts.

Previously, when the head tax was unresolved, it was very likely that the next tax collection would be a dead end, so she definitely didn't think much about it.

But now, things were different.

Her husband had the ability, so at least they didn't have to worry about the head tax problem.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, she had to consider the future generations of her husband's family.

After all, in ancient society, continuing the family line was a top priority.

"Xiaorou, why is your face turning red again?" Lin Fan saw his eldest daughter-in-law blushing again and became curious.

"It's...nothing." Ye Xiaorou blushed and naturally didn't want to say it out loud.

If she really wanted to, she could do it quietly at night.

Lin Fan didn't think much of it and thought that his eldest daughter-in-law was just too excited.

Thinking of this, he took out the daily necessities and cloth that he had bought earlier, and then took out the jewelry he had bought for the three daughters-in-law one by one from the exquisite packaging.

"Husband, what is this?" Seeing the different packages, the three daughters-in-law were immediately curious.

"Good things." Lin Fan smiled and replied, then opened the packages.

When the packages were opened, delicate jewelry appeared before the eyes of the three women.

"This...is jewelry?" When they saw the contents of the packages, the three women couldn't take their eyes off them.

Women naturally liked all kinds of delicate jewelry, regardless of anything else.

"Yes, it's jewelry." Lin Fan nodded with a smile, and then handed each of the three women a piece of jewelry.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I bought one of each. Take a look and see if you like them." Looking at the jewelry handed to them, the three women's eyes also became teary.

It wasn't just about the jewelry.

It was also about their husband's value and importance to them.

Intense emotions once again appeared in their hearts, and tears couldn't help but fall.

They thought that no one would want them, that they were wives picked up from the bottom of the barrel. But in reality, their husband treated them as treasures.

The more they thought about it, the more tears they shed.

"Hey, why are you crying? Don't tell me you don't like what I bought?" Lin Fan was a little confused. How could giving jewelry to his daughters-in-law make them cry?

According to his understanding, when a husband gives jewelry to his wife, she should be happy, right?

"We like it, we're just happy." The three women smiled through their tears. They were truly moved.

But soon, they felt sorry because of the cost of these jewelry. How much money did their husband spend?

And they saw that Lin Fan's backpack was empty. He didn't buy anything for himself, not even a pair of worn-out shoes.

"Husband...wuwu~" Thinking of this, the three women started crying for real this time.

"I..." Seeing his daughters-in-law crying and laughing again, Lin Fan was completely confused.

Should he comfort them or laugh with his youngest daughters-in-law?

Lin Fan, who had never been in a romantic relationship, encountered a knowledge gap at this moment.

The knowledge he had learned in modern times was completely useless, right?

Fortunately, Wang Erxiao, who had just gone back to tie up the cow, came in with bowls and chopsticks, which calmed the three young daughters-in-law down and they began to tidy up the things Lin Fan had bought.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with the sisters-in-law?" Wang Erxiao looked at the tear stains on the sisters-in-law's faces and asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's an adult matter. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand." Lin Fan laughed and scolded, naturally not mentioning that he himself didn't understand the situation.

"Okay." Wang Erxiao rubbed his head and didn't dwell on the question.

But the half-grown child couldn't sit still, and soon couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fan, what are we eating today?"

"Chicken." Lin Fan pointed to the corner of the wall, where the rooster left behind by Wang Fa and the others was.

"Isn't this Wang Fa's? Are we really going to kill it and eat it?" Wang Erxiao naturally wanted to eat chicken, but he knew whose chicken it was.

If they killed it, what if the other party came looking for trouble?

"Let's save it for the New Year?" Lin Fan glanced at him and then took out a kitchen knife to kill the rooster.

This was just a small interest.

The real settlement hasn't started yet!

"Come help pluck the feathers."

"Come on!"

Wang Erxiao was still worried, but seeing Lin Fan's indifferent expression and him asking him to pluck feathers, he couldn't be bothered and agreed with a cheerful voice. He happily went forward to help pluck the chicken feathers.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he last ate chicken, and now his mouth couldn't help but water.

"Wipe your drool, look at you, so pathetic!"

Lin Fan scolded with a smile, not in a good mood.

"Hehe~"

Wang Erxiao didn't argue back, he wiped his drool and continued to quickly pluck the feathers.

The meal was very sumptuous.

In addition to the rooster Wang sent, Lin Fan also brought back lamb meat from the county town, as well as some dried fish. Under the cooking of Su Xiaoxiao, the kitchen maid, the fragrance was enticing, making people's appetites soar.

Wang Erxiao held his big bowl with a missing corner, and his saliva flowed down.

"Oh my god, this is too fragrant!"

Wang Erxiao swallowed his saliva fiercely, but Lin Fan and the others didn't start eating, so he naturally didn't dare to eat either.

"If it's fragrant, then eat quickly."

Lin Fan smiled and picked up his chopsticks, picking up a chicken leg for the other person.

"Yes, Erxiao, pick your own food and eat as if you're at your own home."

Ye Xiaorou and the others knew that this half-sized child in front of them had desperately gone back to the village to find help when they were being bullied. They were very grateful and also helped pick the food.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Fan, thank you, sisters-in-law, thank you."

Wang Erxiao politely thanked them, and then couldn't help but start eating heartily.

"Wu wu~"

Suddenly, while eating, he started crying.

He had many siblings at home.

His parents had a hard time supporting them and never had time to care for him.

Now someone was treating him so well, and he couldn't control his emotions.

"Why are you crying? Once your Brother Fan is doing well, there will be meat for you to eat every day. Isn't that great?"

Lin Fan didn't scold this time, but smiled and patted the other person's head.

"Yes!"

Wang Erxiao nodded heavily, and then made what he thought was the most fierce expression and said, "Brother Fan, if Wang Fa dares to bother you again in the future, I'll take care of him for you!"

"Haha! Then you have to eat more, your head alone won't be able to help me."

Lin Fan laughed at his words.

"Okay!"

Wang Erxiao nodded heavily again and started eating heartily.

Lin Fan was just joking, but this half-sized child took it seriously.

He even secretly vowed.

No matter who it was, if they dared to bother Brother Fan, he would make them regret it!

Lin Fan was unaware of this. He really just treated it as a joke.

After all, soon enough, he wouldn't have to worry about Wang Fa coming to bother him.

"Wives, you should eat too."

Lin Fan snapped back to reality and started taking care of the wives' meals.

This meal,

For ordinary people, it was indeed very sumptuous.

Even Lin Fan, who came from an era where there was no need to worry about food and drink, was full.

Wang Erxiao was also full, almost to the point of rolling his eyes.

Lin Fan smiled at this and gave a signal to his eldest wife, Ye Xiaorou.

Ye Xiaorou understood and cleaned Wang Erxiao's big bowl, then put the remaining meat and vegetables into it.

"Sister-in-law, what's this for?"

Wang Erxiao didn't understand.

"Take these back with you, let your younger siblings taste them too."

Ye Xiaorou explained gently.

"How... how can this be?"

Wang Erxiao was completely at a loss.

It was one thing to eat a little for himself, but now they were packing a big bowl to take back home for his family to eat.

This was different.

In their poor mountain village, meat was very precious, and it was difficult to have it even during the New Year.

Now not only did he eat his fill, but he also packed a big bowl to take back home.

This made him completely at a loss, but also deeply moved.

"Take it, it's just some food."

Ye Xiaorou had a gentle personality and smiled as she handed the bowl to Wang Erxiao.

"Take it."

Lin Fan spoke up at this time.

The other two wives didn't say anything, but they also smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Fan, thank you, sisters-in-law!"

Wang Erxiao cried again, bowed deeply to express his gratitude, and carefully carried the big bowl back home.

He wanted to go back immediately and let his younger siblings and his parents taste it.

Wang Erxiao went home.

Everyone was full and satisfied.

Lin Fan looked at the sky outside and said to his three wives in a serious tone, "Ahem, three wives, your husband has traveled a hundred miles and is tired. Please help me bathe and change clothes."

"Yes, husband, you've worked hard."

The three wives blushed and agreed.
