The Pastoral Wife: Holding the Doll and becoming the richest man

Chapter 63: Distant Relatives are worse than Nearby Neighbors
Looking at the youngest son of the Wu family with a smile, Ming Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.She thought that day this man would be able to protect his wife and children by being ruthless and separated from his mother, but she didn't expect to be controlled by his mother and force his wife and children to this point!

If his mother is a good one, he can be considered filial. This is clearly serving his wife and children to death!

"Auntie, is Brother Xinyu that Haochen is talking about a child of this aunt's family?" Wen Xiyao is a clever little ghost, seeing the adults suddenly stop talking, he started to make jokes.

"Smile, which family's kid is this?" Aunt Liu also liked Wen Xiyao's cleverness.

Ming smiled and looked at the little one, and introduced to Aunt Liu: "This is my godfather's nephew, he is a clever little ghost!"

The atmosphere gradually relaxed, Ming Xiaoxiao also sat down and talked to Aunt Liu about Feng Xiaomei's situation.

Li Zhirui watched the two women start chatting, then sent the two young ones to sleep, and talked to Uncle Liu about this year's surplus food.

Ming Xiaoxiao originally talked vigorously with Aunt Liu, but hearing what Li Zhirui and the others were talking about also attracted attention.

"We have paid taxes, and there is not much food left. This year is cold early, and we could find something to eat together, but this year I am afraid we will not be able to." Aunt Liu couldn't help sighing.

The youngest son of the Wu family was even more depressed, and he smiled curiously: "I remember that your family has six acres of land, how much grain did you harvest?"

Aunt Liu also told the truth: "Our family has collected four shi of grain this year, two shi of the national tax, and half a shi of grain stored in the public house."

"Before Xinyu went to school and borrowed some food. After paying back the food, the family was a little nervous."

Ming smiled and listened, and then discussed with Aunt Liu: "Auntie, our food production is too small now. The new wheat planted this year is the seed that I have been looking for for a long time. The output should be three times the usual amount. But far away can’t quench my thirst, the mushrooms I grow in my backyard are also fresh in winter, would my aunt be willing to grow some with me and sell them?”

Ming Xiaoxiao has no scruples. Aunt Liu has a good personality, and she and Uncle Liu are also very influential in the village. If she wants to promote new farming methods in the future, she must have a group of people as pioneers. The technology is exclusive and kept secret, so it was just right to talk to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu naturally agreed, looked at Li Zhirui and asked, "So Zhirui, how did that shed be made? Can I teach you, Uncle Liu?"

Of course Li Zhirui agreed, and made an appointment with Uncle Liu to start putting up the greenhouse tomorrow.

The youngest son of the Wu family hesitated to speak, but Li Zhirui didn't want to talk to him, but Uncle Liu sighed and said something rare: "There is nothing wrong with you being filial to your mother, but your mother has done some things that are wrong. You always have to Wronging the daughter-in-law, no daughter-in-law would be willing."

"It's cold this year, and everyone's life is hard. Our mother's family collected money to build a house for your little sister. We didn't have any complaints at first. We also hope that you two have a better life, but you still can't take care of your wife. Son, let my daughter-in-law be bullied."

"The one whose life is in danger today is your own son. You, a father, can't even protect him. How do you let this little child grow up?"

Ming Xiaoxiao was in awe. In this era, Uncle Liu not only loves his wife, but also is not foolish and filial. He said these words not for money, but for his aunt.

Aunt Liu also said: "Our family is not a wealthy family, but there is one thing, brothers and sisters are treated the same, your old lady is too bullying!"

The youngest son of the Wu family was even more speechless. Li Zhirui didn't want to talk to this guy, so he took a sip of tea and found that it tasted better than sugar water.

Ming Xiaoxiao didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, so he just said: "Let this lady live here for now, I'm afraid the child will get chills after tossing around!"

"By the way, don't feed the child any weird things. He was born prematurely, and now his spleen and stomach are out of balance. You should pay attention in the future."

A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of the youngest son of the Wu family, and he finally left without saying a word.

Uncle Liu was worried, and told Aunt Liu to go out with his brother-in-law. He had better watch his brother-in-law order, and don't let him do anything stupid.

Ming Xiaoxiao said to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, stay here for one night today, and help the two of them. You bring Xinyu here so that he won't be afraid."

Aunt Liu thought about it, agreed, and went home to wake her son up to get dressed, and then came in with the quilt.

Li Haochen slept obediently at first, but today was too exciting, so he stayed up all the time. Hearing his mother knocking on his door and saying that Liu Xinyu would stay with him for one night, he was even happier. The three children got together and chattered, Finally, under Li Zhirui's gaze, he fell silent.

The night finally returned to calm. The old lady of the Wu family smiled and didn't care about it, but according to Aunt Liu, the old lady of the Wu family seemed to have eaten something, and the water and rice stopped.

On the third day, when Aunt Liu's greenhouse was completed, she heard the news of Mrs. Wu's death.

Ming Xiaoxiao faintly felt that it had something to do with the youngest son of the Wu family, but she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't have time to think about it, because the weak Bai Huitang came for a follow-up visit.

"This is the special pill I gave you. Three pills at a time, three times a day. It shouldn't be a problem if you take it on time to suppress it." Ming Xiaoxiao made a whole box, and even the four small ones helped boil the pills.

Bai Huitang took the pills and asked again: "Where's Li Zhirui? What you promised me should be done."

Ming Xiao gave him a white look, and told him: "Wait a minute, he's going to do a favor, he'll be back in a while, you go to the west side room and wait for him. The hearth stove has been fired for you."

After finishing speaking, Ming Xiaoxiao turned his head and left, as if Bai Huitang was a poisonous scorpion.

Bai Huitang didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that Ming Xiaoxiao deliberately wanted to avoid him.

"Auntie, are you here? Come in quickly, I've prepared the fungus for you!" Ming smiled happily and took Aunt Liu to the backyard.

Li Haochen came in to look at Bai Huitang at this time: "Uncle, how are you doing? Mother asked us to make a lot of small pills for you. Have you been plotted against?"

Bai Huitang was very happy to see that the little guy didn't seem to have the same relationship with him as before, hugged him and began to complain with a bright smile: "You still call me Uncle, even though we are relatives, you are still relatives Cruel-hearted mother, she treats the neighbors and aunts better than me."

Of course Li Haochen didn't like what Bai Huitang said. Thinking of the relationship between Wen Liming's leave yesterday and his mother and Aunt Liu, there was a sentence that was very suitable for Bai Huitang to hear.

"Uncle, have you heard a word?" Li Haochen looked serious.

Bai Huitang looked at the little guy and liked it for a while: "Say it, uncle is willing to listen."

"Do you know that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?" The little guy shook his head and said, choking Bai Huitang.

So what this child means is: he is a distant relative, so of course he is not as good as a close neighbor?
