The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 66

Aunt Yao came all the way from Wuzhou to Xuejia Village, so Yingniang naturally wanted to do what the landlord could do.

Yingniang knew that Aunt Yao usually ate good food, needless to say she used to be in the palace, but now she is married to the wealthy Li family.She is used to fine clothes and good food, and now that she comes to the countryside, what she wants to eat most should be some game.

At this time, the rain was a little lighter, and Boming held an umbrella to dig shepherd's purse from the side of the vegetable field, and brought back half a basket of wormwood.

While Yingniang was making Haoba, she was talking to Aunt Yao, while Yun'er kept her head down to help with the work.

Maybe Yun'er felt that her body was defiled, she was an unclean person, and her deep sense of inferiority made her dare not look at anyone.The only way to make her feel better is to work with her hands incessantly.

Liang Zi and the youngest were originally living in the utility room, but seeing that Boming's house had guests, they hurriedly packed up their bedding.

Liang Zi is a sensible person, if he doesn't leave, the guests from Wuzhou will have no place to stay tonight.At first it was his father Xue Jiazhi who asked him to go home with the youngest, but he refused to agree.Now he took the youngest back to live without saying a word, and enthusiastically arranged a rest room for the two servants brought by Aunt Yao.

Seeing his two sons back, Xue Jiazhi felt that he had finally saved some face.Because in the past few days, some people have said behind his back that the three of his father and son get along strangely.The son's wooden shed collapsed and he didn't go back to live in his father's house, but went to live in his cousin's house. It must be that this father can't tolerate his son.

Now that Liang Zi and the youngest were back home, he felt that he could finally silence those who made irresponsible remarks.

The son came home, but brought two strange men home, so Xue Jiazhi frowned and went out.He doesn't have to go to Landlord Ge's house on rainy days, but there are other places to go, and he always arranges fun for himself.

Because it was a rainy day, Yingniang asked Aunt Yao to stay at home for a few more days, and wanted to let her go home when the weather cleared.Aunt Yao wanted to stay here for a few more days, but she couldn't help herself because she had been away from home for a few days because of Yun'er.When she returned home this time, she estimated that she would be questioned by Li Changan, so she would stay there a lot.

Therefore, Aunt Yao took the two servants away on the afternoon of the second day, leaving Yun'er at Yingniang's house.

Yingniang and Bo Ming watched Aunt Yao's carriage leave the village entrance, while Yun'er held up an umbrella and followed the carriage for a long distance before stopping.If Aunt Yao hadn't urged her to go back to Xue's house quickly, and she wouldn't give it away anymore, maybe she would have kept sending it away.

Yun'er didn't dare to say a word after returning to Xue's house, but worked desperately.After all the work was done by her, Yingniang asked her to rest for a while, and she sat there not daring to move.Even when she was sitting there, she racked her brains to figure out what else to do, but she just swept the floor over and over again, and wiped the tables and chairs over and over again.

After being abused by Li Min, she was like a frightened bird, hiding away when she saw a man.So she didn't dare to appear in front of Bo Ming, Zhong Ping and Ji Wang, and walked around when she saw them.She couldn't find anything to do, so she hid in the utility room.

Yingniang didn't know her well, didn't know her temperament very well, and didn't know how to solve her knots, so she didn't care about her, let her rest for a few days before talking.

After two more days of rain, God finally spared the common people in this land.Bo Ming went to the wheat field and the sorghum field to see that although the harvest would not be lost, at least a small half of the grain would be lost.

Bo Ming hurried to plant peanuts on the unclaimed mountain. Although it was many days late, planting peanuts was better than not planting them.Now he pins all his hopes on soybean seeds, because soybeans can be planted in another month.

Due to the rain for so many days, the newly dug reservoir was full of water, so the construction period for digging the river in front of the village was rushed.The above means that if there is another heavy rain in summer and there is no small river to drain the water, the reservoir will have to break the dam.

On this day, when Shuchang came back from digging the river, he didn't go directly to his and Yinyue's home, but went to the old yard with Jiwang.

Not long after he sat down, Bo Ming and Zhong Ping went home one after another.

Seeing that the whole family was there, he thought about sharing the news that Yinyue had brought from her sister's house. In fact, he came here to ask for opinions.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Yinyue's eldest sister is the concubine of the eldest son of the Landlord Ge's family. Although she is not the official wife, I heard that she is quite liked by the Ge family. The last time Yinyue went to the Ge's house to play, talking about the continuous rain is probably a joke. It would reduce the family’s harvest a lot, so the Ge family said...you can let me go to the Ge family as a guard. I have been hesitant, so I thought about asking my elder brother and sister-in-law.”

After hearing this, Yingniang looked at Boming. In fact, she still hoped that Shuchang would farm well at home and not get involved in the Ge family's affairs.

Bo Ming had the same idea as Yingniang, and immediately replied: "Our second uncle is guarding Landlord Ge's house, and Yinyue's elder brother is also guarding Landlord Ge's house. Now I'm asking you to go. The Ge family wants so much? Look at others. You really think it’s a good thing to eat with a face? The Ge family has always only had one chief supervisor and eight guards. If you go, there will be extra people. They won’t value you. Maybe you will cause some gossip about clinging to rich people .”

Shuchang also thought so, so he hesitated, but Yinyue said that being a warden would be more promising than farming at home.

Yingniang felt that what Bo Ming said was right, so she continued to remind: "If you go to Ge's house, what will happen to the land at home? You don't plan to grow soybeans anymore? You can earn much more money growing soybeans than being a guard."

Shuchang hesitated and said, "I've thought about this too. If I really want to go, I can only plant soybeans in the field after I get home from work. It won't delay if I work hard."

Bo Ming hurriedly said: "Why don't you delay? You just need to scatter the soybeans in the field? You have to go to the field every day to look after each seedling carefully. Why do so many people plant soybeans to no avail? Harvest, isn’t it just that you didn’t spend your time on it?”

Shuchang didn't understand this, because last year's soybeans were planted by Bo Ming and Zhong Ping. At that time, he just went to work at Ge's house every day, and he didn't follow how to plant them.

Hearing what his elder brother said, he gave up his thoughts, and his elder brother told him not to go, so let's not go.

The old Siji Wang was not too cryptic, and said directly: "The third sister-in-law must want the third brother to earn two shares of money, grow soybeans and be a watchman. The second uncle can earn six or seven hundred yuan a month, so he can be popular and drink It's hot, and with the support of Landlord Ge's family, everyone in the village is afraid of him. The third sister-in-law wants the third brother to also..."

Bo Ming glared at Ji Wang, not wanting him to speak so bluntly.What's more, Yinyue is Ji Wang's sister-in-law, he can't be a little uncle, but Ji Wang seems to have realized it, and stopped quickly.

Seeing that Shuchang looked a bit embarrassed, Bo Ming said, "It's not impossible to make money. In a few days, we can weave reed mats and cattail fans. Although we can't earn much in this way, our family is not too short of money now. , you and Yinyue have that money, you can live your life in peace, don't think about what you have and what you don't have."

Seeing that everyone had reached this point, Yingniang didn't say anything more, only to see Shuchang nodded heavily, presumably he had listened.

Just as Shuchang was about to get up and go home, Yinyue came.Seeing that Shuchang hadn't come home for so long, she thought that he must have come here to tell her eldest brother and sister-in-law about this matter.She was afraid that Shuchang was too stupid to speak, so she came here.

Seeing that Shuchang was going home, Yinyue happily asked: "Brother and sister-in-law agreed?"

Shuchang shook his head, "I won't go, I will delay farming, so I probably won't invite the Ge family to see me."

Yinyue's face froze for a moment, and then she came to Yingniang, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, it's not just about being a warden. My eldest sister said that as long as Shuchang goes, and does his best to work for the Ge family , she will help speak in front of Ge's family, and maybe let him be the chief supervisor at that time. You must know that Landlord Ge's family has only one chief supervisor, and I heard that he can get three taels of silver a month!"

Why did Yingniang sound unreliable, she asked back: "Isn't your brother also working as a warden in the Ge family? Why doesn't your eldest sister want him to be the head of the warden? I heard that the eldest son of the Ge family, Zheng's wife There is also a younger brother who works there, so the brother-in-law should naturally be closer, and Shuchang will never be able to do so."

Yinyue smiled embarrassingly, "Don't mention it, my brother is useless. He often fights against the Ge family. It would be nice to keep him as a guard. My eldest sister is also worried about this. It's because concubines are not as good as regular wives." , My eldest sister just wanted to compare with others. It is said that the brother-in-law surnamed Zheng is not a person capable of great things. My eldest sister thinks that Shuchang is good, and she also hopes that he can earn some face for the Qian family."

Yingniang fell silent, thinking that Yinyue's eldest sister wanted to pull Shuchang to do some house fighting in the past.

Bo Ming continued, "Isn't your elder sister afraid that Shuchang will be a failure? Everyone who goes to Ge's house to be a guard has a background, and he has to deal with those people every day. I'm afraid Shuchang can't handle it."
