The fierce peasant wife came to make a fortune

Chapter 113 Foreigners

On this day, Miao Xiaoyan took the bowls that the craftsmen ate at noon to the river to wash in two buckets.

Miao Xiaoyan looked at the several acres of vegetable fields at the foot of the mountain near the river, and thought deeply about the thatched cottage.

Miao Xiaoyan knew that the thatched hut lived in a family who had fled from other places. They had lived in this village for several years. Because they had no land to cultivate, they almost starved to death. A few mu of land at the foot of the mountain was given to them, but I don't know why they didn't grow rice, but only some vegetables.

After Miao Xiaoyan washed the dishes, she carried them to the house.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?" Miao Xiaoyan asked outside the door.

"Who is it?" A woman came out from inside.

"Auntie, hello!" Miao Xiaoyan put the bucket on the ground and walked in.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?" the woman asked.

"Auntie, I'm from the big house of the Miao family at the east end of the village, can I talk to you?" Miao Xiaoyan asked with a smile.

"Oh, you are the daughter of my brother, right?" The woman heard that she was from the eldest family of Miao's family, and then she remembered that she had seen Miao Xiaoyan before, but she was still young at that time, but she had such a large outline. Still the same.

"Yes, auntie, do you know my father?"

"I know!" The woman laughed, "If your father hadn't taught us how to grow vegetables, we would have starved to death now! But I didn't expect to take him with me." The woman was obviously too sad to say anything.

Miao Xiaoyan ignored the woman's last words, and asked in surprise, "Auntie, you don't know how to grow vegetables?"

"Girl, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We were originally from a wealthy family, and there were dozens of servants in the family. Later, my husband lost a lot of money because of a business mistake. In addition, one of our largest stores There was a big fire, and the goods inside were also burned to ashes. In order to pay the customer's liquidated damages, we sold all our property, and we could only leave that place with our two sons."

The woman recalled the past painfully, she paused for a while, and then said: "We came here, although the chief gave us a few acres of land, but we never did farm work, wasting the land for nothing. Your father came to ask us why we didn’t farm, and only then did we know we couldn’t do anything, so he said to teach us how to grow vegetables first, and then teach us how to grow rice, but who knew that your father would not teach us how to grow rice.”

Miao Xiaoyan smiled and said: "Life and death are predestined by heaven, so you don't have to feel sorry for my father anymore, Auntie."

"By the way, auntie, where are your husband and your son?" Miao Xiaoyan asked again.

"My husband couldn't bear the blow, so he went to Xiangyang Village not long after he arrived, and my two sons also went to work in the county."

"Auntie, if I say that I want to buy your land, will you agree?" Miao Xiaoyan asked.

As soon as the woman heard Miao Xiaoyan's words, she immediately said: "Girl, I'm afraid I can't promise you this, because the head of Xiangyang Village gave us this land because he took pity on us. How can we sell it!"

"Auntie, what if the head of the village agrees with you to sell it?"

The woman thought for a while and said, "You have to ask my two sons."

"Auntie, when will your son come back?" Miao Xiaoyan asked.

"It may take a few days, they all come back once a month." The woman said.

"Well, auntie, let me talk to your son when your son comes back and tell me, okay?"
