The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 23 Disputes
I have been busy with things in the fields these past few days. Now that Uncle Zhang and the others are working at home, the work in the fields is much easier. The farm tools my grandpa sent to the blacksmith shop to customize have also arrived. This time, I spent money to order good goods. Life is effortless.

This sickle is not fast enough to work, and it also slows down the harvesting speed. Only with good tools can we get twice the result with half the effort.

Xiuniang was alone at home, and grandma took Brother Chun to the village to talk to the old ladies and make shoes for grandpa by the way.Grandma Wang went to the city to visit her old friends today and will be back tomorrow.

She made some enlightenment books at home and kept them for Brother Chun's enlightenment.

While I was busy, I heard someone shouting, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

I put down my things and drove to the yard to take a look.

At first glance, it was the sister-in-law of the Wang family who bullied her. Besides her, she also had her husband, who was also the elder brother of her sister-in-law.

There was also a mother-in-law and a half-year-old boy beside him. According to memory, the boy was the son of the Wang family's sister-in-law, and also the sister-in-law's nephew.

Also, I really don’t know who the woman is, she must be a relative of hers.

Seeing their aggressive looks, Xiu Niang knew that they were coming with bad intentions.

Turning to the neighbor who was watching the excitement, Sister-in-law Baoshan spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I'm asking you a favor."

"Say."

Sister-in-law Baoshan is also the daughter-in-law of the Li family. The man’s name is Li Baoshan.

"Ask the children to help me run around in the fields, and ask my eldest brother and the others to come back. My eldest sister-in-law's natal sister-in-law is here, so let me come back to entertain the guests."

"Come on, Sixth Boy, go and tell me that someone is bullying your Auntie Xiu."

Sister-in-law Baoshan is also smart and understood immediately.

Her boy ran away as soon as he got the order.

While talking, Sister-in-law Wang shouted at the top of her voice at the door of the yard.

"Liniang, come out here."

Sister-in-law Wang clearly saw Xiu Niang in the yard and shouted loudly, making it clear that she was looking for trouble.

"Sister-in-law is not at home to work in the fields. Sister-in-law Wang, if you have something to do, please sit in the room and have a drink of water. Brother and sister-in-law will be back in a moment."

Xiu Niang went out and invited them into the room to talk, her attitude was gentle and reasonable.

"I won't go in. Let me ask you, why don't you call me your home this year? Who did you give the work to?"

Sister-in-law Wang stared at Xiuniang and pointed at her face, her attitude was arrogant and impolite.

"Others begged Grandpa to give me some work, and asked my sister-in-law's family to work at a price that is [-]% lower than yours. We are in trouble and have to deal with it."

The difficulty is real, I don’t have much money left, so much land, manpower, fertilizers, and cultivated land all cost money, seeds have to be bought, and taxes have to be paid. It seems that the autumn harvest is only a few months away.

"You fart, your man died and brought back two gold ingots. I saw it. Why are you shouting? It's fine without us. Lend me some money. My sister-in-law agreed to lend me the money last time. Don't think I'm easy to bully, no. Lend me money and give me the land, otherwise I won’t leave.”

"Why should I lend you money? What does it have to do with you if it's my Li family's money?"

Xiu Niang looked at him coldly and snorted.

"She agreed to lend me money."

"My sister-in-law doesn't dare to agree to your loan. Grandpa and in-laws won't be able to spare her. You don't have to talk nonsense here."

Xiu Niang smiled contemptuously, and she was calm and collected. Her sister-in-law was such an honest person, and it was not difficult to guess her temperament by looking at the soles of her feet at a glance.

Sister-in-law Wang was anxious.

"Hey! We are all relatives. In the past, the Wang family has helped you and the Li family a lot. Don't be ungrateful. In my opinion, you should take out the money. It's not like we won't pay you back. The Wang family has also helped you before. Yes, even if you repay the favor, you should still return it."

The woman next to her looked at Xiu Niang with a proud expression, and kept criticizing the Li family. If she didn't lend money, she would be ungrateful.

The calculation in this woman's eyes is clear and ready to come out.

In the early years when the Wang family's father and mother were still alive, they did help the Li family. The old couple were honest and kind-hearted.Because of this, the Li family's land was contracted out to the Wang family, with the highest ratio of half and half. No one would give half to the tenant farmers. The Li family also wanted to reciprocate the favor by taking care of and supporting the Wang family.

But their work was not good, it was very rough. There was no way that the men of the Li family did most of the work themselves, and they had to give others half of the food for free. Sister-in-law Wang asked for food and took a lot of things from the house. This foolery That’s eight years.

Now she was still being called ungrateful, and Xiuniang's face turned red with anger.

"You're talking nonsense, my Li family didn't feel sorry for your Wang family."

Xiu Niang yelled angrily. As a daughter of a noble family, she was not a shrew.

Sister-in-law Baoshan opened the courtyard door and came out.He put his hands on his hips and started to curse.

"What the hell are you talking about? What year and month are there in the almanac? How many years have your parents-in-law been dead? It must have been eight years since you took over her family's land."

Sister-in-law Baoshan used her hand to go to the right direction of the field.

He shouted angrily again: "You don't know how to do your job. You are the worst in the whole village. You can't find anyone at every turn."

"They asked you to give you half of the food, but they didn't do it well. They stole the Li family's things at every turn. Did you eat less food, drink, chicken, duck, and fish?"

"I saw it right next door. You always bullied Brother Mao and his wife. In the end, you beat him up and said that it was Brother Mao and his wife who gave you something. If you fart, you will think that my Li family is easy to bully!"

Baoshan's sister-in-law stood in front of Xiu Niang with her strong body, pointed at them and shouted angrily: "Get away from me, you idiots, or else I will scream, and all the young and old men in the village will be here and beat you all over the face."

The woman pursed her lips nervously and turned to wink at Sister-in-law Wang.

Sister-in-law Wang sat down on the ground and cried, "Oh my God, no one can live anymore, you are bullying us poor people... You clearly agreed to let us occupy the land, but you promised to lend us money, but you turned your back and said nothing." My son is waiting to get a wife!"

"Shut up, I'll tear my face apart if I cry again!"

Sister-in-law Baoshan got really angry and her face turned red with anger.

"If you dare to make plans for a dead man's money, you won't be afraid that Brother Ping will come to find you at night. If you team up to bully his wife, you won't be afraid that he will come to settle the score with you!"

"And you, father and son, are useless and let a woman come forward to ask for money for you. Have you ever considered your sister? Your aunt can't hold her head high in her husband's family. She has helped you a lot in the past."

"Also, Xiu Niang has no money. The money has been used to buy land, and all of it has been donated to the tribe. If you have the ability, you can ask our tribe elder for money. Let's see if my tribe's grandfather will peel off your skin."

Sister-in-law Baoshan snorted coldly with a stern expression.

"I don't care, you have to give it even if you don't give it. If you don't let me live, you will also be spared. I will fight with you."

When Sister-in-law Wang heard that the money was gone, she became anxious. She had long regarded the money as her own. In the past, it was not easy to get something from the Li family. What a big deal. The Li family is thin-skinned. , easy to bully.

Sister-in-law Wang suddenly stood up and punched Sister-in-law forward hard, hitting Sister-in-law Baoshan hard with her head.

Sister-in-law Baoshan was not prepared for her sudden move. She was hit hard by Sister-in-law Wang with great force, and her body fell backwards involuntarily. In addition, Sister-in-law Wang was middle-aged and fat, not light in weight, and big in size. This collision made her fall I hit Sister-in-law Baoshan.

"Be careful."

Baoshan's sister-in-law was standing in front of Xiuniang. Seeing that she was about to fall, Xiuniang subconsciously stretched out her arms to hug her, but she couldn't stand still and fell together with her.

"Ouch!"

Xiuniang and Sister-in-law Baoshan cried out in pain together.

Xiu Niang's head was just right, but she fell dizzy and lay on the ground unable to get up.

"Xiu Niang, where did you fall?"

Sister-in-law Baoshan quickly got up from her body and went to help Xiu Niang, her voice breaking with fright.

"Xiu Niang, my daughter, what's wrong with you?"

The mother-in-law and the elder brother were called back by the children, and they happened to see Sister-in-law Wang bullying others and knocking down Sister-in-law Baoshan.

The mother-in-law was so frightened that she stumbled forward and her voice was filled with tears. How could she be worthy of Brother Ping when her daughter-in-law had a shortcoming and she couldn't explain to her dead son.
