The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 11 What Bad Things Are You Doing Behind Closed Doors?

Watching the father and son go away, Xu Zhixiang closed the gate from the inside when he returned to the courtyard.They ran to the backyard and removed a stone slab that was pressing on the well platform, Su Xiaoye and Su Xiaocao followed and looked in, and sure enough, they saw most of the water in the well.

It can be seen that some of the water filled last night was absorbed by the dry land.

But this was enough to make Xu Zhixiang so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "It's been a long time since I washed the well. Xiaocao and I will wash out the water in the well today, and the water should be able to drink when it is full. Xiaoye, you have If you are injured, go back to the house and rest."

Su Xiaocao clapped her hands happily, but Su Xiaoye didn't want to, "Mother, Doctor Xiao Li and the doctor in the city have said that my injury is not a problem, and the wound is gone after applying the medicine. I will work with you guys." .”

"Don't be brave, you hit your head, and you bled so much yesterday, who knows if there is any injury inside. Listen to your mother, go back to the room and lie down. If you can't lie down, let your third brother talk with you."

"No, mother, I know my body well. I'm fine. Just let me work together."

Su Xiaoye took her arm and shook it coquettishly, Xu Zhixiang had no choice but to agree to work with her in the end, but he always paid attention to Su Xiaoye's state, and only felt relieved when she saw that she really didn't seem to be in trouble.

Although there was a severe drought this year, the weeds were very thick last year. I was afraid that the fire would attract the attention of the water collectors outside, so I had to use a sickle to cut them little by little.

Fortunately, the yard is not big, and there is even less land to plant. The three mother and daughter brought Xiao Su Lan to work together very quickly.

Su Xiaoye was mowing the grass in front, Su Xiaocao and Su Lan ran back and forth to carry away the cut weeds and pile them aside, so they could keep them for the fire, and Xu Zhixiang plowed the ground behind Su Xiaoye.

While Su Xiaocao and Su Lan turned around with the hay in their arms, Xu Zhixiang looked down and turned the ground without paying attention to herself. Su Xiaoye called up the farm page, and with a single finger, released the gray rabbit in the warehouse.

Just under the cover of weeds, it will not arouse suspicion.

But as soon as the rabbit was released, Su Xiaoye was surprised. This rabbit was really too fat, not at all like a wild rabbit that couldn't eat grass in the disaster year.

But it was released, and it would be too late to take it back. After Su Xiaocao delivered a bundle of grass, she turned her head and saw the fat rabbit jumping around in the wild grass. She was about to exclaim, but she went to cover Su Lan first. Mouth to shout.

Whispering in his ear not to make a sound, seeing him nodding in response, he ran towards this side and softly shouted: "Sister, mother, rabbit! There is a rabbit!"

Xu Zhixiang raised her head when she heard the words, and also saw the fat rabbit, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.

The three mother and daughter worked together to grab the fat rabbit, and Xu Zhixiang's face burst into joy at the feel of the fat.

Xu Zhixiang even searched the yard again to see if she could find another rabbit in the same litter, so it was a waste of work.

Just as the mother and daughter were discussing whether to sell the rabbit, they heard someone talking outside.

Because it is close to the water source, villagers are afraid of the sun when they come to fetch water. Many people will wait in the shade of the courtyard wall, and it is not surprising to hear other people's voices.

Someone asked: "Boss, daughter-in-law, I heard that the third son's family moved here yesterday, and I wanted to come and have a look. Why is the door closed during the day?"

"Then who knows, someone saw the third child taking his two elder sons up the mountain early in the morning, who knows what bad things his wife is doing at home."

Hearing Chen Ping's words didn't please her, fearing that Xu Zhixiang would not hear her well, that person hurried to make amends, "Did the third child go to the mountain? No wonder her wife wants to close the door. The house is full of women and children, so it's better to close the door."

"Hehe, there are no outsiders in our village, so what is there to be afraid of if you don't do something wrong? Anyway, my house never closes at night."

Hearing what she said was outrageous, the man simply stopped talking.
