Chapter 2 Women in the City

"An uncle from your aunt's family is in charge of some things in the Niu family. I'll talk to him and there shouldn't be any problem."

Second Aunt Wang smiled reservedly at the side.

"But..." Wang Erhu changed the topic and said, "If you become a long-term laborer, what will happen to your family's fields?"

Yang Liang's family has three acres of farmland, which are all barren and thin. He is hungry all year round, but he also doesn't have enough to eat.

"Don't you mean that if you are a long-term worker, you can also farm your own land?" Yang Liang asked confused.

"Hey, the Niu family is not one of those small landowners. It is a deep compound. How can you let you come and go at will?" Wang Erhu said: "If you become a long-term worker, I am afraid that the land will be abandoned?"

"Uh……"

Yang Liang was stunned and found Wang Erhu looking at him expectantly.

"Otherwise, listen to my uncle's advice and don't go there. It's no better to just guard your own fields."

Yang Liang suddenly realized that Wang Erhu was eyeing his three acres of land.After realizing this, he felt chilled in his heart. The two families were neighbors separated by a wall, and they could not see each other without looking up. No matter how you put it, there was a three-point friendship.

But even so, it still can't prevent people's hearts from falling apart.

A wave of heat came over him, and he almost slammed the table.

After thinking about it, the man has ambitions in all directions. If he is really captured by Sanmu Land, he will be too short-lived.

"I will definitely listen to my second uncle's instructions. If I am too busy, I will rely on my second uncle to take care of me."

"Good good."

Wang Erhu showed an honest smile on his face: "Then I will help you take care of it."

"You can't even take care of your own land, so why are you taking over everything?" Aunt Wang complained.

"I watched A Liang grow up as if he were my own child."

"Then please."

Yang Liang stood up and sneered in his heart, thinking, even if the land is occupied by you, I can take it back.

If you don't have a son in your family, you have no roots in the village. Even if you have a huge family fortune, you may not be able to keep it.

……

When Yang Liang returned to his home, he didn't even light the lamp. The pot was cold and the stove was cold. Even if he lay on the cold earthen bed, he couldn't resist the heat in his body.

At dawn the next day, he began to complete the tasks of watering and chopping wood.

Using a pole to carry water from the ditch to the ground, over and over again, the strong muscles are twisted together, like a ferocious black dragon coiled on the shoulders.

When you have free time, go to the mountains to cut firewood, tie the wood neatly in the yard, and sell it at the market when you have time.

These firewood can be picked up at the market and exchanged for daily miscellaneous items such as salt.

Yang Liang's main purpose now is to earn destiny coins.

In this way, seven or eight days passed, and Yang Liang felt that his size had increased again.

On this day, he was cutting firewood in the mountains and picked up a nest of bird eggs.

[The task of chopping wood is completed, and you will receive a reward: 1 destiny coin]

"call!"

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, put the firewood on his shoulders, and walked on the way home.

In the process, he kept refreshing the task panel.

The system can only maintain three tasks at the same time. Only when one task is completed or fails will a new task appear.

However, there is a certain delay in this process.

As she walked, a figure appeared on the road ahead. When she saw Yang Liang, she also stopped.

This person is the eldest sister of the Wang family. Her nickname is Huadi. She is extremely beautiful. The most surprising thing is that she is so white that she is famous throughout the country.

In the past two years, the marriage had already crossed the threshold, but Wang Erhu had always wanted to find a powerful man for his daughter. Therefore, it was delayed. When he was 19 years old, he still had not found his in-laws.

"Why are you carrying so much firewood? You can't use it all." Huandi said.

"I can sell it for money. If I save enough money, I can marry Sister A and move in." Yang Liang said.

Huandi said without changing her expression: "Okay, I will marry you when you can gather enough sedans for eight people to carry."

Yang Liang's face turned red and he said, "I don't have an eight-carriage sedan, but only two eggs for you."

Wang Huandi slowly turned her head and saw Yang Liang holding two wild eggs in his hand.

There was a layer of white frost on her face: "Yang Lengzi, are you looking for death and acting like a bastard in front of me?"

Yang Liang hurriedly accompanied her, and after some hard talk, Wang Huandi's face turned from cloudy to sunny.

Suddenly, Wang Huandi stuffed a brown sugar into his palm.

He raised his head and saw Wang Huandi walking away without looking back.

He smiled and stuffed the candy into his mouth. He felt the sweetness moisten his throat and his whole body became energetic.

At this time, a new task prompt was also received in my ears. [Wheat Offering]: The local county magistrate is looking for high-yielding wheat seeds. Mission reward: 1000 destiny coins.

hiss!
Yang Liang was a little moved, but he shook his head helplessly. If he had 1000 destiny coins, he could directly change his job to become a scribe or a postmaster.

But this kind of task is obviously a high-level task for the farmer in the later stage, and he is not yet capable of completing it.

Just wait for it to expire slowly.

When he returned home carrying firewood, he saw Wang Erhu standing at the door waiting for him.

"A-Liang, I have already agreed with someone to go to Niu's house with me tomorrow. Remember to clean up."

"Good good."

Yang Liang said: "Second uncle, have you cooked at home?"

"We have already eaten." Wang Erhu said calmly.

"Look, I'm planning to treat you to a drink. In that case, let's do it next time." Yang Liang said regretfully.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Liang took the time to go to the river and fetch water from the fields several times.

By the time the sun came up, he had completed his mission.

[Complete the watering task and receive a reward: 1 destiny coin]

Yang Liang refreshed the system panel and soon received a new task prompt:

[Treasure Hunting: Legend has it that there is a treasure near Niujia Village, mission reward: 10 destiny coins]

Yang Liang's conscience suddenly moved. He could not complete the task of [presenting wheat], and he must not miss the treasure hunting task again.

Maybe if you find this treasure, you can get rich instantly, and get a reward of 10 destiny coins.

Unfortunately, the system gives too few hints, so how do I know where the treasure is hidden?

"System, system, can you give me some tips?"

[Pay 1 destiny coin and get a clue]

"Uh……"

Yang Liang shook his head, let's forget it, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, just in case it's not valuable.

One destiny coin may not seem like much, but to me, it is equivalent to a thousand catties of firewood.

He returned home carrying a pole, took a shower, put on his only set of linen clothes, and tied on a new pair of straw sandals.

When I was finishing this, I happened to hear Wang Erhu coughing in the yard next door.

The courtyard wall in the village is not high, but Yang Liang is tall. When he stands on tiptoes, he can see the courtyard next door:
"Second uncle, have you eaten?"

Wang Erhu said impatiently: "Can you talk about something else?"

"Sister, are you up?"

"That's not what you should be worried about." Wang Erhu's face sank.

"Hey, look at my mouth. I haven't thanked you properly yet. If you haven't eaten yet, just eat it together. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

"Then, isn't this troublesome?" Wang Erhu said.

"No trouble, no trouble."

When the sound landed, Yang Liang had already climbed over the wall with chopsticks.

And I got my wish and got a bowl of hot porridge at Wang's house.

Wang Erhu almost couldn't wait to send him to Niu's house.

As the largest landowner in the neighborhood, the Niu family's compound is built like a fortress, with towering walls that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After waiting at the back door of the compound for a while, Wang Erhu finally led Yang Liang in.

At this time, a small sedan chair happened to be carried out from inside, and Wang Erhu hurriedly took Yang Liang to the side.

Yang Liang felt a fragrant breeze blowing against his face, and saw a woman's face through the gap in the sedan curtain.

"Who is this?" Yang Liang asked.

"You're not supposed to ask, so don't pry."

Yang Liang thought to himself: "I heard that the second son of the Niu family was in poor health and married a daughter-in-law to celebrate the wedding. However, before the marriage was completed, the second son met the King of Hell. Could it be that this is the second young lady?"

Wang Erhu was noncommittal.

Yang Liang remembered the shocking glimpse just now and sighed: "The women in the city are Bai."

Wang Erhu nodded heartily.

"No matter how white you are, you can't be as white as a big sister."

Wang Erhu's face darkened: "Get out!"
