Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 10 Goodwill
Xianglai wondered for a while, Zhang Shi was always narrow-minded, why suddenly started talking in human language at this moment, it really made people feel a little uncomfortable.

She was wondering here, but the mother beside her had already nodded and agreed: "Okay, just follow what my sister-in-law said."

After speaking, he took the pen, ink and paper handed over by Zhao Di Niang and began to write the document.

At this time, Xianglai could no longer stop her, and sighed in her heart, thinking that she would fight for two rooms, but the loss was obvious, and everyone knew that it was the mother Let the uncle's house, no longer be regarded as freeloaders.

But at this time, someone in the crowd who watched the excitement and testified behind him whispered: "This Shen Da's wife is really good at calculating, after all the calculations, she still didn't let the mother and daughter get an advantage..."

Xiang Lai's heart sank, knowing that she must have been tricked by Mrs. Zhang again, and the problem probably lies in the three mu of land.But my mother's pen is sharp, and the paperwork has been written. At this time, everyone is reading, and it is irreparable, and I can only admit that I have suffered a loss.

After Xiang Lai Niang finished reading the paperwork, Mrs. Zhang and Wu De, who was leading Wu Zhaodi, all nodded in satisfaction, and Xiang Lai Niang signed it.

Mrs. Zhang took it and handed it to Shen Wanjin. Shen Wanjin shook his head and did not speak. No matter how much Mrs. Zhang pushed him, he would not accept the document.

Mrs. Zhang cursed angrily, and then called Shen Dachang over to place the bet on Shen Wanjin's place, and this was considered to be the completion of the separation ceremony.

Everyone who testified dispersed one after another, and Wu Zhaodi, who had finally fulfilled her wish, obediently went home with Dachang.

On the way back, Mrs. Zhang and Shen Dachang walked in the front with the child in their arms, Xianglai and Niang walked in the middle leisurely, and Shen Wanjin walked at the end with heavy steps.

Xianglai looked around and seemed to be unable to hear anyone, so she asked in a low voice, "Mother, where is the three mu of old land that was allocated to us?"

Xianglai Niang glanced at her in the dark, and said, "Isn't it the three acres behind the house? It was planted during the drought two years ago, don't you know?"

Xianglai's eyes widened in surprise, and said, "Is that the wasteland where I put pigs?!"

Xiang Lai Niang nodded, "Yes".

Chen Xianglai suddenly felt an urge to scold her!

She wondered why Mrs. Zhang suddenly became generous and gave them the fields close to home, even giving them half an acre more. What's more, it turned out to be wasteland where no grain could be grown. According to the planting method here, There is no difference between having and not having this field!
Chen Xianglai saw that the mother who was walking beside her was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, and said, "Mother, why did you agree when you knew that what she gave us was the land?!"

Xiang Lai Niang sighed: "Why didn't I know that your aunt was plotting against us, but I didn't see your uncle being embarrassed. If we continue to fight, wouldn't he be forced to death? Besides, after all, your aunt gave us half an acre more , maybe there will be a drought next year, and we will have a harvest!"

Chen Xianglai turned her head to the side and didn't want to look at her anymore. It's good for people to be kind, but they can't be so kind. Seeing that people are forced to die, they still think about this and that!If she continues like this, this family may really have nothing to eat!
She was worried here, and the uncle who was walking behind rushed up, afraid of being misunderstood, walked to the other side of Xianglai, and said to Xianglai's mother through Xianglai: "Sisters and sisters, I have wronged you as a big brother." , your sister-in-law and Dachang's daughter-in-law... oh!"

Xianglai Niang said: "It's okay, big brother, I know that as long as Dachang and his wife are in harmony, there is nothing wrong with us here."

Shen Wanjin sighed again, and said: "It's a pity that the second child is not lucky, married such a reasonable daughter-in-law as you, and left so early!"

Xiang Lai Niang bowed her head and remained silent.

Shen Wanjin said again: "Don't worry, although the family is separated, the second child is still my brother, I will not ignore his lawsuit, no matter what, I will not let him die in vain..."

They were talking here when Mrs. Zhang looked back and saw Shen Wanjin and Xianglai's mother and daughter walking together, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You old bastard, hurry up! Why are you getting so close to me? Which one is your wife and child!"

Her words were really ugly, and Xianglai couldn't help but wanted to argue with her again, but was stopped by the foresighted mother, but Xianglai had to hold back the words that came to her lips.

Shen Wanjin embarrassedly said to the mother and daughter: "Well... I went ahead."

Then he hurried to catch up with Mrs. Zhang and the others.

Looking at the figure in front of her, Xiang Lai slandered her uncle for being so useless, and she didn't know how much she had been pissed off by Mrs. Zhang in her life.

At this time, I heard Xiang Lai Niang beside her asking softly: "Xiang'er, why have you suddenly become like this these days? Not only has your temper changed, but I think you and your mother are not even close at all."

Chen Xianglai's heart sank heavily. Although she tried her best to cover up her knowing daughter, Mo Ruomu, she still couldn't hide it from this sensitive and careful mother. She still felt the change of her daughter's soul in her body.

But no matter what, she couldn't admit it, otherwise she would frighten this "mother", and the fact that her daughter was dead would also make her feel distressed to death.

Thinking of her, she pursed her lips deliberately and hummed: "It's not that I'm not close to mother, I've grown up! Mother, you don't know, I fell from the room that day, I really thought I was dead, and finally woke up , I was thinking, this person really can’t be too kind, otherwise people will think you are easy to bully, and want to eat you alive! You live in this world, you don’t make decisions for yourself, and you expect someone to help you ?Like today, if you don’t want anything according to what you said before, what do you think our life will be like in the future? It must be the aunt who made sarcastic remarks, Wu Zhaodi cursed and said that we occupied their house and so on. At that time, I will be kicked out without even a place to stay, how will the four of us live?"

Xiang Lai Niang bowed her head and said nothing, she didn't know whether she was speechless by her daughter, or she was thinking of something on her mind, for a while, both mother and daughter stopped talking and walked back silently.

The family is divided, so meals must be separated, the granary is built on the side of Xianglai's house, and Wu Zhaodi urged Dachang to move the grain early the next morning.

Xianglai helped her mother and second aunt clean up the small kitchen that she hadn't used for a long time. She didn't want to quarrel with Wu Zhaodi, so she asked Tianlai to keep an eye on them, in case they all moved away and didn't keep a single grain for her.

Fortunately, the houses over there were full. Dachang carried three sacks of millet, and one sack of sorghum was yelled at by the uncle: "Why move, this year's grain is enough to eat, I'm afraid you will starve!"

Wu Zhaodi muttered in a low voice, expressing some dissatisfaction for some reason, and walked back squeakily, followed by Dachang dejectedly.

Seeing that Tianlai didn't need to look any more, he bounced back.

During the meal, Tianlai ate two big bowls in one go, and said happily: "It's so good to be separated, no one cares how much you eat!"
