As soon as the news of the corvee came out, the atmosphere in the village became extremely tense.

Although this corvée thing happened once a year, no one in the village would say that they would get used to this life-threatening thing after a few times.

No matter which time they came, everyone was in a bad mood.

"My God, sister-in-law, you are so lucky this time!"

This afternoon, Wei Meili and Miao were helping to thin the Gebu at Widow Chen's house.

When talking about this topic, Widow Chen looked at Miao and Wei Meimei with envy.

"I always feel that the luck of the two sister-in-laws has improved a lot after they separated. These five taels of silver are not rare."

When Widow Chen learned that both of them had to pay money to redeem the slavery, she didn't know whether to admire their courage or to say that their family was really lucky.

In just a few months, he happened to have five taels of silver on his body to make up for this corvee.

"It's not that you don't know what kind of life our two families lived before we separated. We only had a little bit of family property after we separated. We have been busy all day for the past few months. The little money we finally saved is exhausting our body." Enough.

How can I stand up to another meal of consumption? "

Wei Meili said this to help the Miao family.

Their family has systematically helped them all get a healthy body, but Miao and Mei Sanma saw that although under the blessing of the heroine, their food has improved a lot, and their energy and spirit have increased.

But the foundation is still worse.

Mrs. Miao made loquat leaf and pear soup at home yesterday, and said that Mei Sanma had been away for the past few days, and she seemed to have suffered from the cold at night because of eating and sleeping outside, and she still coughed a little these days.

On this point, thinking about his own family's fierceness and vigor, Mei Youqian couldn't see any problems, and Mei Youqian, who had to cook two bowls of rice every time, Wei Meili didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, people are better than anything else."

After Miao's words, Widow Chen suddenly thought of the reason why her man who died early had worked so hard to get goods and had to take the risk of traveling so far.

Isn't it just to earn more money that year?
Her mother-in-law wasn't in good health that year, and Suo Tou was just born, so he just wanted to earn more money. If there was corvée, he would be able to spend time with their family at home after it arrived that year.

result……

Seeing that Widow Chen's weaving movements slowed down suddenly, and no one spoke, Wei Meihao quickly walked to the loom and said, "This time the fine Gebu, sister, you did a great job, it's very beautiful!"

"That was also helped by the two sisters-in-law. I never knew that kudzu cane can weave such a soft material. It's very good for making clothes in hot weather."

"Hey, your weaving skills are better!" Wei Meili and Widow Chen complimented each other, "By the way, how is your mother-in-law recently, and she hasn't gone out to make trouble anymore?"

"No, she's been a little more sober recently than before. It's probably because she's pregnant. Ding Xiang doesn't come here often, but everything is fine."

When Widow Chen thought of her mother-in-law being instigated by Ding Xiang some time ago, she was still angry with Ding Xiang.

But thinking of Ding Xiang and the others because of Uncle Wu's separation, after a while the new house will be built, and after she moves away, Widow Chen's mood will be happy again~
The other daughters-in-law of Uncle Wu's family are all straightforward people, and they are not too easy to get along with like Ding Xiang.

"Uncle Wu's family has split up. Doesn't this mean that there will be several more people in their family this time?"

In the past, the four sons of Wu Sanshu's family, even if one of them went to the family, could only be rotated every four years. In addition, Ding Xiang's husband was still young before, so the three sons used to rotate.

It turned out to be a good thing, as soon as we separated, we met corvée.

"Well, actually, Uncle Wu's first three sons are not young, and their own sons are also older, so it's not a problem if the matter of corvee is changed.

Besides, they were all from the same family. It is good for a few members of the family to help each other when they are away from home.

It was Ding Xiang and her man. Although Ding Xiang and her man were young after the separation, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu lived with their family and helped Ding Xiang and them.

However, the third uncle has reached the age when he does not need to do corvee. Unless they pay five taels of silver for this corvee, the clove man will do it. "

Speaking of this, Widow Chen is somewhat gloating.

"By the way, I heard that Ding Xiang and his family seem to have built a house behind your in-laws' house after they separated!"

"is it?"

"Speaking of which, I remember Ding Xiang and your sister-in-law are from the same village."

"Huh? What a coincidence."

Wei Meili didn't know about this, but when it came to it, Wei Meili remembered that their two families had separated, so what was Lao Mei's plan for serving in the military?

"My father-in-law is old enough to serve in corvée, but he is still old in general. But what he loves the most is his elder son and younger son. I think he doesn't want them to suffer."

"Oh? Could it be that your uncle doesn't go to serve the corvee?" Widow Chen was surprised, "If you let your father-in-law go, you will definitely be poked in the back! Raising a few children so big, when you are old I haven’t enjoyed any blessings, so what’s so much?”

Wei Meili smiled, noncommittal.

Not enjoying?
Their old Mei's family didn't know how long they had enjoyed the blessing of two and three bedrooms, and now they just want to take back the blessings they borrowed in advance!
This time without the two of them, she just wanted to see a joke, whether it was Mei Dahu or old man Mei?
Although everyone thinks it should be Mei Dahu, what if?
Wei Meili smiled and said, "Maybe our father still has money~"

Widow Chen didn't dare to answer these words right away. Wouldn't it mean that old man Mei concealed his property when the family was separated?

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

Widow Chen also smiled sarcastically and didn't say much.

***
Mei Berry came back from the mountains and saw that there was no one at home, so she went directly into the house, took out a small ball of wool from the system, and played with it carefully for a long time.

Mei Berry didn't know what Mei You had found out about Old Man Mei?
But just looking at the 50 catties of wool, Mei Berry also guessed in her heart that the heroine had found a big one this time.

It's just that in the mountains just now, when Mei Berry asked, Mei You didn't answer immediately, she just said to wait and tell her after she thoroughly checked.

This feeling of being half-shared by others and gossip, hanging on her own, really made her feel as if 1 fat tigers were scratching her heart.

In fact, it's not my fault that Mei You didn't tell Mei Berry.

Mei You did not investigate much, and for a while she didn't know where to speak from.

Meiyou: Then let’s not talk about it.

Although Mei You didn't answer Mei Berry's doubts directly, Mei Berry would push back!
Except that she and Meiyou hadn't met when their family was busy selling tea, they could basically see each other sooner or later.

If he really found out that there was something wrong with old man Mei during their meeting, Meiyou would definitely tell him.

The biggest possibility is that Meiyou discovered something when their family was busy with their feet a while ago.

Mei Berry thought carefully about Mei You's usual activities, thinking about the circumstances under which Mei You would find out that there was something wrong with Old Man Mei?
While thinking about it, Mei Berry repeatedly touched the wool with both hands, and felt something was wrong while touching Mei Berry.

"Ok?"

Mei Berry looked down at the camel-colored ball of yarn, it felt very rough to the touch, and it snapped easily when pulled hard.

Not as tough and soft as later generations.

If it is knitted into a sweater, it cannot be worn next to the body, and it will be too tight.

And not much flexibility.

It would be acceptable if the plum berries were directly made into that kind of sweater or scarf.

【Why is the wool thread so rough in the system?It’s not as high-quality as your previous system~]

Realizing that the quality of the wool was not good, Mei Berry responded to the system.

[This bundle of wool is comprehensively produced according to the technical production level of this era. 】

To put it simply, this sentence of the system means: this wool can be made if you work hard in this era.

【That is to say, no one can make it now, right? 】

A cunning flashed in Mei Berry's eyes, as if she had realized the intention of the system.

【Is this thing mine if I "research" it?Or is it that the heroine also has famous scenes in this regard in the later stage, and I want to play as a support? 】

Mei Berry hasn't thought too far ahead yet, and now she needs to confirm whether she has made any progress with this wool.

[The original book does not have relevant title scenes. 】

Hearing this, Mei Berry let out a wretched laugh immediately.

She asked the system: [Then how much do you know about this wool craft?Are there any recipes and instructions for making woolen yarn?Preferably like soap. 】

[Host, you can research by yourself. 】The system seriously rejected Mei Berry,【I have already given the finished product, what else do you want?】

Plumberry:?
What is your perfunctory tone like?
It can't be treated differently just because it's not the protagonist, if it's cheating, right?
【What happened to the finished product?The finished product is not omnipotent. You gave the finished product. At best, it is for my own use. Even if someone with a heart sees this thing, I need to find a way to explain it. 】

Mei Berry refuted the statement that the system thought it was okay to give her the finished product, but Mei Berry realized a problem as soon as she said this——

Even if her own family didn't use it to make money, but if the sweater or something appeared, unless she could completely hide it, she would still need a reason to explain it in the end.

After explaining to those who are interested, this wool thread will still appear sooner or later.

It's just a matter of time and how involved Mayberry is in the process.

Thinking of this, Mei Berry's eyes narrowed slightly.

[System, do you think I earn too much money, so you set these difficulties for me? 】

system:【……】

Mei Berry: The system is so vicious, it stumbling me on the way to make money!
System: Maybe, I just want to unify with the final reward of seeded cotton?

Meiberry: Then shouldn't you reward me with a few sheep with wool?Or wool with mutton.

system:……?
