The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 251 What Can Women Do

Li Shi had been paying attention to her mother-in-law before, the daughters hadn't come back yet, and her son could only eat rice cereal when he was hungry. She didn't think too much about the pain in her body.

She believed that the young master of the Tang family would take good care of her five daughters. Besides, although her five daughters were young, they were very sensible and heartbreaking, and they would not easily conflict with others.

Mrs. Li is not at ease when she thinks this way, just like when farmers like them come to visit rich and noble families, sometimes you will be picky if you keep silent, and you will also look down on people looking for work.

"Go and get the ladies back." Mrs. Li said to the two little maids.

"Ma'am, when we come out of this place, we don't know which yard the ladies went to. Let alone find the ladies, we are afraid of offending the nobles."

One of the little maids said, but the other did not dare to bow her head. In fact, she had already expressed that if she is unfamiliar with the place and lost her way, what should I do?
Mrs. Li was in a hurry and didn't think about it just now. When she came, she told everyone not to run around. She, a nanny who had been working for several months, didn't know all about the whole Tang Mansion.

Only the young master, and the mistress's yard, she has been to, such as the outer courtyard, the study room, some forbidden places in the family, and the other masters of the Tang family, she has never been to those yards.

It is conceivable how big the place is, and she asked the two little maids to find it, but it was really impossible.

She was the only one who went to find her daughter. She asked the two servant girls to look at Lai Shi, and then said to Ye Shuzhen:

"Sister-in-law, you are here to gather with your mother-in-law. I will go find my daughters first."

Ye Shuzhen nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law."

But Lai rolled his eyes and ignored it, his fat short legs were dangling.

Mrs. Li walked away with her son in her arms, Mrs. Lai asked her daughter in a low voice:

"Shuzhen, you've been married for a month, do you have any news?"

This question from his mother made Ye Shuzhen blush. Her mother spoke very quietly, and he already felt other people's eyes on her.

Shy and a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he said to his mother coquettishly: "Oh, mother, how can you talk about this here?"

"What on earth are you thinking? Are you not in a hurry? My question is so common that no one will gossip if they hear it!"

When Lai was speaking, she took a flattering glance at the rich wives who were gossiping about them, and then showed her big yellow teeth.

Those rich women originally gossip, but they just want to hear what the mother and daughter have to say, yes, a newly married woman gossips.

After that, there was a topic again. If you really get married within a month, you may have done something wrong before marriage.

Some people cover up their scandals secretly, and small families are not like big families, who use handkerchiefs to verify on the wedding night.

Lai's eyes made them hate it, and what they hated most was her yellow teeth, which could smell rotten from a distance, so the rich women turned their faces away again, paying attention to what they said.

"Mom, how can this matter be rushed? I've only been married for a month."

Ye Shuzhen really doesn't want to keep talking about this topic. Although the two mothers and daughters can whisper a little secretly, but the mother said in front of so many people at this time that she feels very bad. If the family members know, is this okay? Shame on me.

Feeling helpless, Lai could only nod and said, "Then you have to hurry up, don't be stupid, if you don't understand, do you want your mother to give you the prescription?"

Ye Shuzhen shook her head even more shyly. Her mother always talked about this topic, which made her a little overwhelmed. She blushed and lowered her head and whispered:

"Mother, I don't want any prescriptions. I asked my sister-in-law to eat so many prescriptions. Didn't my sister-in-law give birth to five daughters before she had a son?"

Having been exposed by her daughter, Lai did not dare to talk about this topic, worried that it would affect her daughter's status in her husband's family.

Hongji and his father were guests on the other side, and they were on the side of the nephew. Although people from rich and noble families sat together, they were still in a group.

However, the arrival of their father and son did not have as many twists and turns as on the woman's side.

This time, the men from rich and noble families all have fields, and they bought some land to plant after that visit.

Some people used to poach corners before, but they poached people to their place, and they couldn't do anything better than others.

The experience mentioned is similar to the experience of a group of farmers, and may be better than that of ordinary farmers. After all, planting crops in a manor is different from that in a farmer's home.

However, there were some manors of their wealthy families before. Although the production was not very good, the stewards and long-term workers of the manor were still experienced.

The man who manages the manor is hired at a high price. The manor is most similar to other manors, and these other manors are a joke.

The high-priced manager has a higher salary than others for one or two months. At the beginning, those other styles and successes are all wait-and-see attitudes.

Later, I saw that the management of this manor was the same as theirs. The same harvest was not the same as the wages. Other manor managers and workers began to complain.

The wealthy families didn't just buy land, and more than one poached corners, and they didn't get as good results as Xiangye's Manor.

Questions were in their minds, and the people who summoned them asked. They all said that they followed the establishment and management of performance manors, and the same planting methods. Lush, there are not many mosquitoes in the manor.

For example, the fruits and vegetables in their manor did not have such a good harvest, the rice did not grow so lush, and there were many mosquitoes.

The steward was blamed and felt very wronged. Although the salary was high when he came here to work as a steward, the pressure was great, and the work was much harder than before.

In the past, the long-term workers did not seem to work as hard as the current managers. Not only did they have to be managers, but they had to do it themselves if they could not order the long-term workers.

At this moment, they were summoned by the master to scold them again. They felt a lot of pressure and couldn't get off the horse. They left the Ye family manor and were no longer eligible to go back, because they were already on the blacklist.

Became the second and fifth boy, betrayed the master.

Those men from wealthy families who bought the manor all had the cheek to ask Hongji and his son how to plant the manor.

Daddy Hongji shook his head with a smile and said: "You see, I'm old. I used to be farmers and didn't manage the farmland very much. Both of us, father and son, are carpenters, so we handed over the farmland to the woman for management. To be honest , the harvest in our fields was not very good.”

"This old man, don't be modest, how can the farmer's house be managed?"

A middle-aged man from a wealthy family said.

"The man is in charge outside, the woman is in charge of the house, what can a woman do in a house?"

Another white-haired man said, some people are nodding, what do they all think women can do?
Women can only have children at home and do some housework and the like. As for the cultivation of farmland, the father and son are men, so they should be fighting.

There was another man who had just been married and seemed to be a son of a wealthy family. He didn't follow the tour group to visit the Ye family's manor, but he heard what everyone was talking about, so he followed suit and said:

"You two father and son are not joking, are you? You father and son are not farmers who manage the farmland, but let the women in the family do it. Don't tell me you do the laundry and cooking at home?"

The young master's words made those rich and noble people laugh along with them.

I'm not laughing at the father and son, but I think they're not telling the truth and they're hiding their best experiences.

Hongji and his father didn't know where to put the faces they said, because they were telling the truth, and it was fine if others didn't believe it.

It was said that they were ashamed. As men, they did not manage the farmland. Now they have set up a manor and let women manage it.

The daughter-in-law at home also told him how to manage the manor. In fact, she did it step by step. At the beginning, she was afraid of not doing well, so she didn't dare to buy more fields.

But I didn't expect such a success, a manor made money and became famous.

Now the elders of these rich and noble families come to ask them about their management experience, tell them what others don't believe, and think they are lying.

They also feel very ashamed when they are questioned. As they said, their father and son really handed over the affairs of the farmland to the woman. The man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in the house. The daughter-in-law is really capable.

Hongji's father blushed even more when he was asked. The daughter-in-law he married before not only does carpentry but also manages the farmland.

Later, they had children, and when they grew up, their son also did carpentry with him. At this time, the father and son still had to manage the fields while doing carpentry.

Finally, after the son married the daughter-in-law, they handed over the farmland to the daughter-in-law.

He and his son let go of the field. They didn't think there was anyone there before, because many peasant women would manage the fields.

Even the daughter-in-law has to manage the farmland with a big belly, and she has to plant seedlings and harvest rice. I feel that there is nothing ordinary. Marrying into a peasant family means working. The rich people of the peasant family work more and have better children. .

This sentence has been hanging on Lai's lips, and even if someone can rely on their father and son, he let go.

It has been ten years since the daughter-in-law entered their home. During these ten years, apart from carpentry and helping out when harvesting rice and transplanting rice seedlings, their father and son did not interfere at other times. Doesn't do laundry.

In the past, when faced with people from peasant households, everyone had the same thoughts, and those who depended did not want to rely on them!

At this moment, being asked hoarsely by some rich men, the father and son blushed with shame, and didn't know how to explain it, feeling that there were too many mistakes.

But the gentlemen of these wealthy families did not let them go for the sake of their manor.

"Hongji, we have no other intentions. We just want to ask about the experience of managing the manor. I would like to ask you about your experience. You won't hide it and don't tell us, will you?"

"That's right, let's sit together and have a banquet at the Tang's. That's fate, and we will become friends. Although the management of the manor is a farmer's job, we have invested money and want to earn it back. The purpose of the visiting group is to increase crop production.”

"That's right, we just want to increase crop production, and we're not trying to steal money from you. We do what you want, and the price of grain is the same."

When this person said this, everyone else nodded, but they thought in their hearts, the price of the grain sold is the same!

That's just self-deception, they don't even eat the rice produced in their own manor, but buy the more expensive rice from Ye's family.

They have been doing this for the past two years. There is really no way. After eating the rice grown by the Ye family, they don't like to eat the rice grown by themselves.

This is not a matter of face, I feel that eating the rice grown by Ye's family is particularly appetizing and fragrant, and I also feel that my body is much better than before.

Such thoughts are in the hearts of their wealthy families, and they also discussed at the gathering why eating the rice and vegetables grown in the Ye Family Manor will strengthen the body.

It's no different from what they grow on their own estate, and it doesn't taste as delicious.

It's like taking an addictive drug. Since these people purchased Ye family's products, eating at home is delicious. If they can't eat such delicious dishes in restaurants outside, they will directly make the restaurant owner down.

"I understand that you don't have any malicious intentions, but you don't believe what I said, and I can't help it. Now the manor is managed by my wife, and the managers are also my brother-in-law and brother-in-law. I really didn't manage the manor, but listen to me. Some of the daily routines of managing the manor that my daughter-in-law said are exactly what I said."

Acer explained others believe it?
Thinking that he must be hiding it, unwilling to reconcile, he could only chat with him about the wood factory.

Seeing these people change the subject, Acer relaxed a little, and chatted with them about the wood factory.

However, it only talked about carving wood, and did not talk about how to sell the products, such a topic.

He was in charge of engraving with his apprentices, and the operation of the products was handed over to the Tang family, who sold the carved items to jewelry stores all over the country.

The products they carved were just completed and shipped out, and many orders were also sent.

However, they have been innovating all the time, and some people imitate their products. They can only use innovation and refinement to win more customers.

Doing so also brought them more benefits. On the surface, he is so talented, but in fact, no one knows that this talented person is not him, but his little girl who is only two years old now.

Now being touted by these rich men, he dare not tell them the secret of his little girl.

Let these rich men flatter him, and blushingly acquiesce.

When Hongji's father heard others praise his son, it was like praising himself, and the joyful expression on his face was like picking up gold.

The man from a wealthy family was curious about the father and son asking them at first, but later he saw that there was nothing valuable to ask, so he ignored the father and son, and the rich man began to chat about things they were interested in.

Acer and his father were left out, but they didn't feel uncomfortable, and they were relieved that they weren't being watched closely.

At this time, Hongji missed his mother, and the children of the Li family, did they know that they were happy at the banquet at the Tang family?

The female guest on their side is a bit far away, and they can't see or hear the female guest chatting clearly.

I just hope that my mother will not make any troubles at the banquet, let alone embarrass his daughter-in-law.

When Hongji's father was free, he felt a little craving for bamboo cigarettes, so he clicked his mouth, embarrassed to go out and bring in bamboo cigarettes to eat. He doesn't usually eat snacks, so he can only pick up the snacks on the table to satisfy his craving.
