Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

The relationship between Quan's and Bai's has always been good, and when she went out for a walk, naturally the two of them would have a good chat.

Regarding Zhu Xiaomei's matter, Quan couldn't help but say a few words to Bai Shi, he was really confused, how could he do such a thing?How are you doing now?The dignity of the whole family is filled in it, so why bother?
With a haggard face, Bai smiled wryly: "My mother-in-law and sister-in-law made up their minds about this matter, and they did it without telling the truth from our family members. Our own family members were kept in the dark! It's really full of grievances with no place to complain! "

Quan spat at her: "Bah! It's okay for you to fool others with your words, I don't know you yet? What do your parents-in-law and sister-in-law really have in mind to hide it from your eyes? I didn't say you, even if you have something Plan, but letting your sister-in-law ruin your family's reputation is not worth it—"

Mrs. Bai knew that she couldn't hide it from Mrs. Quan. In addition, during this period of time, she stayed at home every day and dared not go out, and she was really suffocated.

At this moment, I really need to find someone to talk to.

So he let out a long sigh: "I can't hide anything from you! I'm too lazy to hide it from you! Of course I know about it—"

From what Zhu's second daughter-in-law said a few years ago, to when Zhu Xiaomei moved her mind, to when Mu Pojun recovered his identity, and then when Zhu Xiaomei got angry and cut the material that Shen Jiayan asked Bai to make clothes for Mu Pojun. rise.

Only then did Quan understand why Bai looked so wrong years ago.

Bai smiled wryly: "Later, when Mu Laoer and Mu's old lady came back, they talked to my mother-in-law for some reason, and came up with the idea of ​​being a concubine for Boss Mu and having a child. I don't know that Mu Lao Er, what kind of benefits did you promise my mother-in-law and that foolish sister-in-law, the two of them are so single-minded that they insist on being concubines, and even nine cows can't be brought back!"

"I have made trouble at home and begged them so that they can't just disgrace the Zhu family's old face for several lifetimes just for the benefit in front of them! What's more, what kind of good man is Mu Lao Er? With him, can you What's the good thing? But I'm a soft-spoken person, even if my lips are worn out, no one listens to me! But they were all moved by what the second child of the Mu family said."

"What else can I do? If I don't agree, that arm can't hold back my thigh! I don't have the face to come out to meet people, but I just stay at home every day, hoping that this matter will not be successful! I never thought that by accident, but let me My sister-in-law got mixed up with the second child of the Mu family, and was completely seen by everyone, alas, now the whole family is involved, and I can't hold my head up in the village!"

That being said, seeing that Bai Shi didn't look too worried, Quan knew that there must be something going on here.

Rolling his eyes, he recalled that day, Mu Pojun didn't fall for the trick, was it really a mistake, or was it just a plan?
But Quan's is also smart, she won't ask the bottom line, after all, she is on Shen Jiayan's side.

It's best that the eldest son of the Mu family is fine.

As for the second wife of the Mu family, who cares if he dies!

This guess was confirmed after Shen Jiayan's sugar workshop recruited Bai's eldest son, Da Mao.

Quan's couldn't help but admire Bai's methods!

This is all for later.

Sifang Town.March.

In the small yard bought by the Mu family, the gate is open today.

There were several carriages parked at the door, and some people moved boxes and cages out of the yard one after another and put them on the carriages.

In the courtyard, Mu Tianze also asked for leave today to stay at home, surrounded by Shen Jiayan, everyone's eyes showed a bit of reluctance.

Especially Mu Tianrun, who almost clings to Shen Jiayan's side, never leaving her.

Now it is March, the spring is bright and beautiful, peaches and apricots are blooming, which is a good time of the year.

The courtyard of Mu's family has just moved in, and it has completely changed.

The trees in the yard are fresh green, tender and lovely.

The winter jasmine is blooming, and there are a few spring plums, which are also very gratifying.

Coupled with the popularity, the yard is now full of vitality.

For a couple of months, Shen Jiayan stayed in town and helped train the servants of the two households, and now it has achieved some results.

After all, it is the countryside, and there is no extravagant expectation to train the villain of the two rooms so well, as long as he can be loyal.

Moreover, the three brothers and sisters of Mu Tianze can actually do most of the things by themselves this year, and the general housework is also difficult for them. Not to mention, they also know the expenses of the family well.

It's pretty good not to be deceived by people from the two rooms.

Since the first month, Shen Jiayan has received several letters from Mrs. Xu, the magistrate's wife, urging her to go to the county seat, saying that there are many things that she needs to take care of.

Mu Tianze and the others couldn't keep Shen Jiayan any longer, so they had to let her go.

Mu Yue didn't sleep all night last night, she cried for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen in the morning.

Mu Tianze was barely better, but his eyes were red and he was restless.

Mu Pojun was still outside a few days ago, and he often didn't see anyone for a few days. When he heard the news that Shen Jiayan was leaving, he rushed back overnight.

At this moment, she looked at Shen Jiayan with a complicated expression, but she didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

The servants of the two rooms don't quite understand, it's fine that the master of the house is often not at home, why is the mistress also leaving?Why does this posture look like parting from life to death?
According to what the master said, it was just that the mistress was going to the county seat to help the county magistrate's wife, and she would come back after finishing her work?

Zheng Dahe's family had been servants before, so they understood a little bit, but from their perspective, they could only guess that this was the mistress going to work as a nanny in the backyard of the official wife to take care of the little master, earning money for her own man and children. Some money, earn some contacts.

It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to go home often if I become a nanny for others, so it's reasonable for the masters and masters of the family to be reluctant.

I can't help feeling in my heart that this family is a difficult scripture.

They have no choice but to be servants for others, but when their masters have no choice, don't they have to leave men and children behind and serve as servants to the official wife?
Therefore, he gave a few words of persuasion on the side.

The brothers and sisters of the Mu family naturally knew in their hearts that Shen Jiayan was not something they let out, and it was as simple as going to help the county magistrate's wife and coming back after finishing the work.

That's the farewell, it's probably hard to see each other again in the future!Even if we meet again, I can't call my mother anymore!How not to feel sad?

No matter how much I can't bear it, it's time to say goodbye.

Shen Jiayan got into the carriage, apart from Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng staying behind, he was worried that when Mu Pojun and Mu Tianze were not at home, there were only two siblings, Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun. The servants can't count on it.

Secondly, it was also related to the planting of sugar beets after the spring sowing in Dongguang Village. Even if Lizheng and Li's family were entrusted, someone had to stay to watch over it. It also meant that Shen Jiayan did not give up and gave everyone peace of mind.

Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng had received Shen Jiayan's orders a long time ago. Although they were reluctant to give up, they knew the seriousness and agreed honestly.

Amidst Mu Tianrun's loud cries, Mu Yue's choked sobs, and Mu Tianze's reluctant but compulsively calm eyes, Shen Jiayan waved his hand.

Facing Mu Pojun's complicated eyes, Shen Jiayan nodded and said only one sentence: "Take care of each other!"

Mu Pojun's eyes darkened, he also nodded, and said awkwardly: "Take care of each other!"

The carriage slowly walked away, the tears that Mu Tianze held back finally dripped down.

Mu Pojun watched the carriage go further and further away, and gradually disappeared from his sight...

Changyang County.

In the village in the suburbs.

Since yesterday, the Zhuangtou has told the people in the Zhuangzi to cheer up and clean up the Zhuangzi carefully again. .

If the nobleman sees something bad, he will take their skin off first before the nobleman reprimands them.

Therefore, the people in Zhuangzi gathered their spirits and guessed in their hearts, what kind of noble person has come?
They also know that this Zhuangzi is under the name of the county magistrate's wife. In the land of Changyang, where is there a nobleman who is more expensive than the county magistrate's wife?

In the anticipation of Zhuangzi, at noon, several carriages slowly stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi.

In the eyes of everyone, a half-grown boy came down and shook something in front of the Zhuangtou. The Zhuangtou immediately changed his face, and respectfully invited the man and the carriage in.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, we entered the gate, the carriage stopped, and then a young woman came out from inside. She was not very luxuriously dressed, but very ordinary.

With a delicate appearance and a slender figure, she looks rather weak.

It's just a pair of eyes, but they are extraordinarily bright, so clear that people dare not look directly at them.

Zhuangtou knew that this ordinary and weak woman in front of him was the honored guest he was waiting for, and also the future master of this Zhuangzi.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he didn't dare to be negligent on the face, and stepped forward respectfully to salute.

This woman is naturally Shen Jiayan.

According to the arrangement of the county magistrate's wife Xu, she arrived in Changyang County, but did not enter the city, but went directly to Zhuangzi.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and she was really tired, so she just nodded slightly, and asked if the place was packed?
Zhuangtou hurriedly asked his wife to lead the way, and took Shen Jiayan to the backyard.

Immediately behind Shen Jiayan, three half-grown boys got up and down, and these carriages, Zhuangtou didn't dare to neglect.

While ordering people to move everything to the backyard, they arranged accommodation for the three and a half boys.

Everything is arranged, and hot water and meals are served.

Shen Jiayan took a shower and had dinner, and said that she was tired and had to rest for the night, and she would talk about it tomorrow if there was anything to do.

No matter how much Zhuangtou wanted to inquire about something, he could only hold back.

That night, Shen Jiayan slept soundly, and finally left Mu's house completely, separated from Mu Pojun and the others, which made her feel relaxed.

In the future, she can concentrate on her career, and she doesn't need to be a babysitter for others!
Waking up from bed in the morning, Zhuangtou had already sent his eldest daughter to take care of him.

Hearing the movement, he knocked on the door and came in, bringing hot water and things for washing.

After waiting for Shen Jiayan to wash up, and helping Shen Jiayan comb her hair in a bun that is popular in the county, breakfast is ready.

On Zhuangzi, there is nothing more prosperous than the county town, and breakfast is simple.

A bowl of white porridge boiled very thick, with a thick layer of rice oil, a plate of small pickles pickled by the farmhouse, a salted duck egg cut in half, and two white, fat and soft steamed buns .

Although it is simple, but the skill of cooking is good, Shen Jiayan sleeps well and has a good appetite.

After eating all these in one go, the girl who served her couldn't help taking a sneak peek, wondering how the new master of Zhuangzi looked so thin and weak, how could he eat so much?

After removing the leftovers, Zhuangtou, who had been waiting all this time, came to see him.

Shen Jiayan asked him to wait in the main room in the front yard, tidied up a little on his side, and then went to the front yard.

She has never been to this Zhuangzi since the Xu family gave it to her. She only heard that the Zhuangzi is not big, only fifty acres of paddy fields, a small hill, and the hill is not high, and there is no production.

If there is no accident this time, she will live in Zhuangzi permanently, so she has to take a good look at this Zhuangzi.

Naturally, the paddy field will not be moved, and the small hill, I have to go and see, if there is something to produce, that would be the best, it must not be abandoned, right?
Thinking in my heart, I didn't step too slowly. When I walked to the front, Zhuangtou formally met with the master, and we knew each other and had a solid foundation.

Zhuangtou also reported the situation of the Zhuangzi to Shen Jiayan, and it was indeed as Xu said, the fifty acres of paddy fields are not considered first-class fields, but only middle-class, but because they have always been under Xu's name, they are exempted from taxes and the like In addition, Mrs. Xu is not that harsh person, and the rent is not high, four or six rents.

Although there is nothing to produce on that hill, there is a sandy land at the foot of the hill, only seven or eight mu.

Nothing else can be grown on this sandy land, but watermelon can be grown, which is extraordinarily sweet.

And those miscellaneous trees on the top of the mountain are cut down every year, whether it is selling firewood or burning charcoal, there is also a small income.

Therefore, this Zhuangzi, all year round, if the year is good, he can have an income of six to seventy taels after excluding expenses.

Although not many, it is considered rare.

This Zhuangtou looked like an honest person, and the whole family looked at this Zhuangzi, who lived in a side room in Zhuangzi's front yard, and seemed to be a well-behaved man.

Shen Jiayan took a rough look at the accounts handed over, and they were still quite clear.

But even if there was a ghost in it, Shen Jiayan didn't intend to pursue it, it was after all what he had accepted before.

So I only looked through it a couple of times, and comforted him with gentle words, and said something that I will rely on more in the future, so as to reassure the head of the village that this year's business of the village will still follow the rules of previous years, and the rent will remain unchanged.

Zhuangtou finally let go of the heart he had been carrying all along.

He knows that his ability is limited, and he has done his best to manage this Zhuangzi like this.

I was worried that after the new master arrived, if he disliked his lack of ability and his income was only so small, what should I do?
Or if he doesn't know about Zhuangzi's affairs, he will give instructions indiscriminately, or if he thinks that the rent is too low and he needs to charge [-]% more, then he will really have a headache.

Seeing that Shen Jiayan didn't intend to intervene now, she was half relieved first.

Then he talked about the people in Zhuangzi, and there are several families near this Zhuangzi, all of which were built attached to this Zhuangzi.

Except for Zhuangtou's family who lived in the second courtyard of Zhuangzi and helped look after the house, the other families were all tenants in the village.

Although these tenants were a bit cautious, they were not the bad guys.

The wife of the tenant's family may speak and act a little vulgarly, so there is no malice!

……

Shen Jiayan patiently listened to Zhuangtou's introduction, and occasionally interjected to ask a few questions, but he seemed to be quite friendly.

This made the Zhuangtou family feel a little relieved.

Just as they were talking lively, there was a commotion outside the yard.

Zhuangtou frowned, quickly confessed his crime, got up and looked outside, to see who was so closed-eyed and making trouble.

When he got out of the door and saw it, his legs suddenly softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

There was a carriage parked at the door, and beside the carriage stood an old woman who was helping a woman on the horse to get off the carriage.

The woman's clothes are simple, but her imposing manner is a bit aggressive. She is the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Xu.
