The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

Chapter 24
Is Mrs. Wang a person who can be kidnapped by her morals? Apart from her daughter, nothing can stop her from being abusive and abusive.

"Don't talk nonsense. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. With you as a neighbor, my family has been in trouble for eight lifetimes. You came to break up the engagement. What kind of affection can you say? They said that widowed mothers are difficult to deal with. Now we have broken off. This marriage is a good thing, it saves my daughter from jumping into this fire pit, otherwise, she will never get better with a mother-in-law like you in her life."

Seeing that she couldn't let go of this matter, Mrs. Zhang could only say: "Then I owe it first. I really can't take it out now. When I have it, I will pay it back. I will pay you back with interest."

"You owe it first? You're dreaming. You think this is a business deal. That's fine. When will you repay the debt and when will you break off the engagement?" Old Mrs. Wang knew that Zhang was anxious to break off the engagement, so she said this deliberately.

Mrs. Zhang was really anxious. If she couldn't break off the engagement because of the money today, it would be a small loss but a big loss. It would be like getting engaged to the shopkeeper's daughter without much money.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my family has a total of six acres of land, and they are all given to your family. In the past, one acre of land was worth eight taels of silver, and they are all given to your family."

"Don't make it sound like I robbed your family of land. There is a severe drought now and the grass is almost gone. What's the point of asking for the land? You said it's worth eight taels. OK, you go and sell it for money. Just give me 30 taels, and the rest is yours."

Nowadays, there is no harvest in the fields. Even a hundred acres of land are useless. Moreover, the current market price of fertile land is five taels per mu. It is not easy to sell it. Except for those who have a lot of money left in their hands, who thinks money is too hot to touch? Buy land.

Mrs. Zhang also understood this truth, so she gave her the land directly, but she still behaved miserably and deserved to be humiliated by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang sent her eldest son to call the old village chief, which was a witness to the divorce between the two families. From then on, the marriage of men and women had nothing to do with each other. She also transferred the land and waited for the old village chief to go to the county government to change the documents. , the land passed under her name.

The old village chief came soon. Under the witness of the old village chief, the two families were finally back on their own. However, considering the overall situation, he still said a few words, which meant that although they could not become in-laws, they still We are from the same village, and we will have to live in harmony from now on.

To give the old village face, both families nodded in agreement. I don’t know what they were thinking.

At this point, a big problem weighing on Mrs. Wang's heart has been completely resolved.

The old lady's face was so serious that she called her family back to the house, apologized to the villagers, and without even looking at Mrs. Zhang, the door clicked shut.

Only her family members were left. The old lady laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. The efforts of the past few days were finally in vain.

He told his two daughters-in-law: "Go and prepare the table. Today is a good day. Let me eat them all."

Everyone was very happy, as if it was the New Year. The old man even took out the two ounces of fine wine that he had treasured for a long time. He didn't say anything, but the joy in his heart was displayed on his face.

Yue Mingzhu was also happy to be able to cancel the engagement smoothly, but other than that, she had no special emotions.

She doesn't hate Mrs. Zhang and Yue Pengfei, especially Yue Pengfei. Love can't be forced. It's not a big mistake to dislike Yue Mingzhu. If she doesn't like it, she just doesn't like it.

At best, the Zhang mother and son are a little evil and haven't done anything harmful. It's good that they can cancel their engagement smoothly now. They will have nothing to do with each other in the future. As long as they don't look for trouble, she can pretend that they don't exist, and she won't take revenge on them. There is no time to waste on irrelevant people.

These days, the family sells bean sprouts and earns some money. However, because of Yue Mingzhu’s marriage, the whole family has no time to eat or drink. Today they finally broke off the engagement. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law cooked a table full of delicious dishes. Even Yue Mingzhu wants to lose weight. I couldn't help but feel so full after eating it.

At the dinner table, Da Gao suddenly said: "Little aunt, have you lost weight?"

Everyone looked at Yue Mingzhu and saw that she had really lost weight. They were too busy at home these days and didn't bother to look at her. Now that they looked at her, they saw that she had lost a lot of weight.There used to be three layers on Yue Mingzhu's chin, but now there are only two layers, and the third layer is no longer obvious.

This made Mrs. Wang very distressed, and she frantically put meat into her daughter's bowl, "My daughter has been suffering recently. There are so many things at home, and my mother doesn't care about you. Eat more quickly, and we will eat meat every now and then."

Yue Mingzhu smiled and put the meat into her nephew's bowl, "Mom, I finally lost some weight, and I feel much better. I couldn't walk on the road before, but now I'm not so tired when I walk back from town. It's obvious that I'm too fat. It’s really not a good thing.”

Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter's face had indeed improved a lot and her eyes were bright, so she gave up. She was still worried and told her daughter to lose weight slowly and not to starve her stomach.

Yue Mingzhu responded with a smile.

At the dinner table, the eldest brother Yue Mingqiang proposed to buy an ox cart. Now their family uses ox carts every day and rents other people's carts every day. Not to mention the expense, it is inconvenient.

Besides, you can now earn a few taels of silver from selling bean sprouts every day, and you can earn back a bullock cart in just a few days.

Everyone agreed with this. When several children learned that their family was going to buy a bullock cart, they jumped three feet high with excitement. Their family was also going to have a bullock cart!
In fact, it was affordable in the past, but the family expenses were high, and Yue Mingxuan was studying, so there were many places to spend money. The oxcart was not a necessity in life, so there was no need to spend that money.

After everyone discussed it, they went about their business.

It's still a while before dark, and there are a lot of things at home. It would be nice to do more before it gets completely dark.

While everyone was busy, Yue Mingzhu quietly added some water from the space into the water tank.

Raw bean sprouts consume a lot of water, which is not something you can save at all. If the water is not changed frequently, the bean sprouts will turn black.

But now that the weather is dry and the water level in the village's well has dropped, their family is too embarrassed to fetch too much water. They save what they can and wash clothes less often.

Yue Mingzhu saw it and secretly added water to it every day. He only dared to add it little by little. It would be unreasonable to add too much.

This is not a long-term solution. If it doesn’t rain, the well in the village will dry up one day. What will happen then?
Still need to find new water sources.

Yueying Village is backed by Yueying Mountain. Yueying Mountain is still lush and green today. The wild vegetables growing on the mountain show that there is no drought on the mountain.

The forest can conserve water sources, and Yueying Mountain is extremely dense. There must be water sources on the mountain. It seems that it is time to go up the mountain again.

Just do what you say, Yue Mingzhu made an appointment with Erxing and Sandong to go up the mountain together tomorrow.

Sandong is her second brother's child, Yue Zhidong, who is eight years old this year. He and Xiao Wu are both children of her second brother's family.

There is also a fourth child in the eldest brother's family, named Yue Zhiyong. This child has been a bit submissive since he was a child, just like a little girl. Old Man Yue hopes that this child can be braver, so he named him Yue Zhiyong.
