farmer's husband

Chapter 48

Chun Zhi's mind buzzed, like a big firecracker being thrown into a pond, and after the bang, her mind went blank.

This person... Chai Dong, is he crazy?
How could he threaten his mother with this matter?
Mrs. Wang, who had been yelling in the room and had clearly gained the upper hand, seemed to be knocked out by the news.

It took her a long time to react, and she burst into tears.

Mrs. Wang has always been aggressive, and she wouldn't cry no matter how angry she was in the village, she would just stick her hips in her waist, stare, point at the other person's nose and yell.But facing her son's threat, she couldn't utter a word of curse, and finally could only cry aggrieved.This shows that she is really sad.

Harue's tears also fell.

She quickly fished the third son off her shoulder and put it aside, then rushed into the room by herself.

"Mother!" She knelt down heavily in front of the Wang family, "Don't cry, I'm unfilial, I was wrong. Don't worry, I don't want your two taels of silver, and this matter has nothing to do with the Chai family. Don't quarrel with your husband about this, it's all my fault!"

"It was your fault in the first place!" Wang immediately stared at her with eyes red from crying, "My son was always fine, well-behaved and obedient, but ever since he married you, he has been bewitched by an evil spirit. If you don’t read well, you will know how to carry water and work like those country people, and you will treat your words as if they were imperial decrees. If you know what you say, you will be what you say! If I had known this, I shouldn’t have married you for him in the first place. Parents come to pick you up, I should just tell you to go back with them, and save you from continuing to spoil my son here and ruin our family like this!"

She cried and cursed, and raised her hand to hit Chunzhi.

Chai Dong hastily pulled her back.

Wang's eyes were red with anger, she even stared at her son this time.

"Okay, you really don't intend to listen to your mother now, you are going to protect this dead girl, right?" She said through gritted teeth.

"Mom, I haven't finished what I just said." Chai Dong avoided talking about this topic, but talked about other things, "This time, if you promise me this time, I promise to pass the Tongsheng exam this year. Then next year I will come back from the examination of a scholar.”

"Are you serious?" Wang Shi was indeed distracted by his words.

Chai Dong nodded. "Of course it's true. And as long as I win Tongsheng, I will be able to have a stone of Lumi every month from now on. Although there are not many things, they can feed our family anyway. When I win the prize of scholar, the imperial court will give me a lot of food." There will be even more subsidies. After a year, it will be more than two taels of silver? Besides, money is a trivial matter. As long as I can be a scholar, the reputation of our Chai family will also become famous. If we can feel proud, no one else will dare to underestimate us!"

After drawing such a beautiful picture of him, the grief and indignation on Wang's face gradually faded, and a trace of hope slowly emerged in his eyes.

Chai Dong struck while the iron was hot, and continued to persuade her. "So mother, two liang of silver is nothing, you can just take it out! I know you still have at least five liang of silver in your hand, even if you take out two liang of silver, you still have three liang of silver left, enough for me to go to the county to catch up with the exam."

Wang suddenly woke up from the dream.

"I've been talking for a long time, but you want to protect her anyway!" She whispered angrily.

It's just that her most sad and angry time has passed, and even if she is angry again now, it is only angry, not much sadness.

Chai Dong nodded. "yes."

"Ha, that's fine, then you can protect her, I won't take the money anyway!" Wang's voice became steeper again.

Haruhi took another breath.

The little third son outside noticed her discomfort, ran over meowing, got into her arms and licked her face.Chunzhi lowered her head and buried her face in its soft, fluffy fur.

Seeing this, Wang was even more angry. "It's at this time, you still know how to hold a cat! Is this cat your ancestor or what? You throw this cat away!"

As she spoke, she made a gesture to grab the cat from Chun Zhi's hand.

Chai Dong quickly turned around, pulled Chun Zhi on and walked out.

He directly sent Chunzhi back to the room. "You should rest here first!"

Haruhi looked at him puzzled. "how about you?"

"I'll talk to my mother again," Chai Dong said.

Is he planning to play hard with Wang?Chunzhi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Actually, there is really no need for it. Mother, if she doesn't agree, then just don't agree. I will find a way by myself."

"I said I will solve it, and I will definitely solve it!" Chai Dong's voice suddenly turned cold, "Besides, you earned the ten taels of silver in the first place. We are only spending two taels of hard work now. What's wrong? Mother, she is holding on to the five taels of silver, and she is planning to break your heart, telling you not to give her no matter how much money you earn in the future?"

Chun Zhi was taken aback by his growl.

Immediately, she realized... What this kid said was probably not just for her?But when Wang Shi over there heard this, she didn't say anything more.

Chai Dong pushed her down on the edge of the bed and sat down. "It's settled like this, you rest! I'll go to mother's side again."

After speaking, he opened the door and went out.

As a result, Chai Dong didn't come back that night.

Chunzhi tossed and turned on the bed with his mistress in his arms, his heart hanging in his arms, and he didn't sleep well all night.

At dawn the next day, she got up quickly.

Not wanting Chai Dong to wake up earlier than her, he has already picked out half a tank of water.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang, who wakes up early every day to supervise Chun Zhi's work, has not moved at all until now.Chun Zhi glanced at Chai Dong quietly, and Chai Dong shook his head at her: "Mother is still sleeping, let's not disturb her."

His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He probably didn't sleep well last night.

"Oh, good." Chun Zhi nodded.I also know that Mrs. Wang must have been sad and angry last night, and didn't sleep much in the first half of the night.

It's just that in this way, you can't count on Mrs. Wang for making breakfast.Fortunately, Chunzhi used to cook at her mother's house, but since she came here, the kitchen has been controlled by Mrs. Wang, and she has no chance to go in.This time, after tidying up the house lightly, she went into the kitchen to cook.

Chaidong put away the bucket and came to help her light the fire.

He is indeed smart, although he has never set fire before, but seeing Chun Zhi burn it once, and Chun Zhi taught him some essentials, he will burn well.

The young couple cooked a pot of porridge, and Chun Zhi took a fish from the pot, cooked it together with a radish, and breakfast was ready.

"Should I call mother out for dinner now?" Chun Zhi asked Chai Dong in a low voice after the meal was served.

Chai Dong shook his head. "I'll send it to her."

Chun Zhi hurriedly brought him a bamboo basket.Chai Dong brought a bowl of porridge and a bowl of fish soup, and sent them to Wang's room together.

Chun Zhi was alone in the kitchen, sipping half a bowl of porridge, and then feeding the third son a few mouthfuls, but Chai Dong didn't come out for a long time.Wang's room was also quiet, and there was no sound for a long time. What are the mother and son doing?
Chun Zhi walked out slowly, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

She hurried over. "Who is it?"

Meow meow meow!
There was a cat meowing outside immediately, and why did it sound so painful?Chunzhi's heart twitched, she hurried over to open the door, and met Wang Zongping's smiling face without thinking.

He held a kitten in his arms, and the scream came from the kitten's mouth.

Seeing that Chunzhi opened the door, Wang Zongping immediately let go, and the kitten broke free from his arms and ran away.Before running away, the kitten's paws still stomped on his face.

When Chun Zhi saw this scene, her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to close the door.

"Hey, don't!" Wang Zongping quickly stretched out his hand to hold the door panel, "Daughter-in-law Chai Dong, I came to visit your house early in the morning, why do you rush out without saying a word?"

"I have nothing to say to you." Chunzhi said coldly.

"But I do!" Wang Zongping grinned, "I didn't hear Aunt Lihua swearing at people early this morning. What's wrong with her? Is she sick? If she is so sick that she can't get up and swear at people, then the situation will be like this." Seriously, you have to send her to see a doctor! But... do you have money to send her to see a doctor? If not, I can lend it to you! No interest is charged, no matter how long the loan is, I will pay you a penny No interest will be charged, if you don't believe me, I can write you a note right now!"

Haruhi's heart skipped a beat.

Borrowing money from the old patriarch's family in Wangjia Village, this method can be considered.It's just... "What's your purpose?"

Wang Zongping grinned wide, showing her white teeth. "Actually, it's nothing! I originally thought, shouldn't it be right for us fellow villagers to help each other? However, if you really want to feel grateful to me and want to repay me, that's fine too. I have no other requirements, as long as you ...hehehe..."

"Little bastard, get the hell out of here!"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Wang who was in the room suddenly rushed out yelling.She pulled Chun Zhi behind her, and then yelled at Wang Zongping fiercely: "My daughter-in-law is not something you can hook up with! My family also has money, and I can give her whatever she wants, so there is no need to borrow it from you!"

"Mom!" Chun Zhi's heart beat faster when she heard this.
