Chapter 49 Coup
Let’s talk about the update time here. Starting tomorrow, the first update will be posted before [-]:[-] pm. If there is an update, the second update will be around [-]:[-] pm~
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was about to leave, Du Xiaoyu dragged her to see the rabbits she raised, and Mrs. Zhao had to say a few words, saying that she regarded the four white rabbits as treasures, and that anyone who came would take them out as a sacrifice. one time.

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help slandering herself, if it wasn't for Mrs. Zhao thinking about the fertile land, and she was afraid that Aunt Wu would run into trouble everywhere, so she wouldn't bother to use the rabbit as an excuse, but would still come to make fun of her!

Aunt Wu is very knowledgeable, she praised a few words, and seeing that Du Xiaoyu was still raising wild rabbits, she shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to raise wild rabbits."

There is a mystery in these words, Du Xiaoyu quickly asked, "Why? I think it grows pretty fast."

"It's not easy to keep. If this wild one grows up, its belly will get bigger. Its four legs will bend, and it won't be able to straighten up. I don't know what's wrong with it." Aunt Wu explained, "Your uncle also caught cubs before. Seeing this, Shi'er insisted on raising it for fun, but it turned out that it would fail after less than three months. He also asked a doctor to look at it, and he said that wild ones are not easy to raise, otherwise they would have been raised and sold for money, right? What's the use? You have to go to the mountains every time to catch it."

There is such a thing, Du Xiaoyu is confused, could it be said that the wild rabbits in China were not suitable for domestication?So it needs to be imported from other countries?

"Let's take advantage of the snacks and save time to die." Aunt Wu said last.

Du Xiaoyu looked at the four cute and fluffy little rabbits, and wondered how they could eat them, they were so small, she sighed, reached out and touched the limbs and abdomen of the rabbits, it was indeed abnormal as Aunt Wu said , if it really wants to be like this, it can only be released someday.

"Auntie, just now my mother asked you to find someone who wants to sell the land, is there a suitable one?" She started to talk about the main point, which was what she wanted to talk about.

Aunt Wu looked at her. Last time when Du Xiaoyu let her spread rumors, she knew that this little girl was unusual, so she replied seriously, "I don't have a count for now, but there are a few for sale before. I will ask tomorrow ask."

Du Xiaoyu said, "The Qiu family pressured us not to buy it. In fact, I lost a lot of money. Last time I heard her mother-in-law scolding her behind her back at the grocery store, saying that she was going to ruin her family. It's disgusting."

"Of course." Aunt Wu laughed, "Ms. Qiu is domineering at home and never takes Jiang's seriously. I don't know how many people say it behind her back. It's pity that her mother-in-law is always teased wherever she goes. It is said that people look for wives to serve others, but they just look for wives to confess, so there is no one who doesn't hate it."

"However, I think she loves Yinzi more. If the Qiu family continues to buy it like this, she won't be able to survive." Du Xiaoyu hinted, "If our family can successfully buy the field, her mother-in-law will probably feel at ease!"

Aunt Wu is also a smart person. She was stunned when she heard the words, and thought, this Jiang family has always been bullied by the Qiu family. If the Qiu family lose face and get angry with her, she is willing. Besides, she can save the family's money. Thinking of a sudden enlightenment, he stretched out his hand and tapped Du Xiaoyu's nose, "You are so smart, your mother is so lucky!"

Du Xiaoyu just scratched his head and smiled.

The development of the following things was expected. Under Aunt Wu's exaggerated words, on the one hand, in order to avenge Qiu's arrogance, Jiang asked a cousin of her natal family to persuade him to sell her four acres of fertile land.

Five taels of silver per mu, the location is very good, very close to Du Xiaoyu's house, and the Jiang family was afraid that the Qiu family would make trouble, so they specially picked a time when she was away to sign the contract, and the whole process facilitated the transaction.

When Qiu found out, she was furious and nearly rolled on the ground with anger, but after all, she was her mother-in-law, no matter how arrogant she was, she would never dare to hit anyone, and if she made a fuss with the village chief, she would not be able to ask for anything.Because Jiang's husband is also a well-known squire in the village. Although he passed away, his uncle, the village head who likes to do superficial kung fu, will definitely give him face, because this is the reason why the two families got married in the first place, so she can only do it. Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, venting his anger.

Seeing her mad look, Jiang felt very happy, and felt more and more that she did nothing wrong. This daughter-in-law would have to be angry once she saw Du Xian's family in the future, and she would have to deal with it.

But Du Xiaoyu's family was very happy, so Mrs. Zhao cooked a table of noodles that night to thank Mrs. Wu for being her father-in-law.

Aunt Wu's husband is called Lu Po. Like Du Xian, he is an honest man. He doesn't talk much, and he is not very happy to socialize with people. He has a completely different personality from Aunt Wu, but the two have a very good relationship. One look and one movement can tell that the two people must have the same heart, so it is no wonder that Mrs. Wu is always so cheerful and never sees her troubled. This may be due to her husband-in-law.

Du Xiaoyu thought to herself, such feelings are really enviable, if her parents can completely get rid of the shadow of their grandmother one day, maybe they can do the same.

Mrs. Zhao thanked Aunt Wu several times at the banquet, and she was so excited that her wish was finally fulfilled.

Aunt Wu said that Du Xiaoyu was responsible for it, but Zhao took it as a joke, saying that she didn't care about what this girl could think of, but Du Huanghua and Du Wenyuan knew it well, since Aunt Wu said so If so, then this scheme must have been thought up by Du Xiaoyu.

"These few acres of land are very good, and I have planted a lot of things in turn before," Aunt Wu said with a smile, "What are you planning to plant?"

Zhao said, "The rice harvest was good last year, so let's grow rice."

"That's fine, anyway, there's never too much rice."

Du Xian had a different opinion, "I think it's okay to grow something else. Last year, the sweet sorghum grown by Lao Litou's family sold well. They collected it to make sugar, and the price was higher than rice."

This father is enlightened, of course Du Xiaoyu has to help, "Yes, every household grows rice, and it can't be sold at a high price, mother, let's grow something else, like..." She frowned, the tomato side It seems that there is no, is there any zucchini?She couldn't make up her mind for a while, and they wouldn't understand if she said something strange, so she couldn't talk nonsense.

But Du Wenyuan said, "How about growing cold melons? This stuff quenches thirst in summer, and rich people buy it to eat."

What is cold melon, quenching thirst in summer?Du Xiaoyu couldn't understand now.

Seeing her confused face, Du Wenyuan smiled and said, "Our family has planted it before, don't you remember? It's so big, the inside is red, the seeds are black, and it tastes very sweet."

It turned out to be watermelon!Du Xiaoyu realized that this food is delicious, and she likes to eat iced watermelon in summer!
But these words brought back painful memories for Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao. It was three years ago. At the time, I was greedy to see others grow watermelons and make a lot of money, so I wanted to try to grow watermelons, so as to ease the situation at home. It happened that there was a lot of rainfall in the year, and there were continuous cloudy days, which rotted the watermelon seedlings to death in the ground. In the end, only a dozen watermelons produced, so Mrs. Zhao immediately rejected the proposal.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of well ropes!

But Du Xiaoyu got excited. How good it is to grow watermelons. This place is an environment with very distinct seasons. If there is no wind in summer, it is still very hot. Watermelon is the best fruit. If it is transported to the town and sold, it will definitely make money. !And it tastes better when iced with well water, those people will definitely like it, the more she thought about it, the more itchy she became, she grabbed Zhao Shi and said, "Mother, let's grow cold melons, okay?"

Zhao Shihu ignored her with a straight face.

Seeing this, Du Xian hurriedly said, "Yeah, Xiaoyu, don't pester your mother anymore, if you want to eat, dad will buy some for you to taste, ah, be good."

It seemed that there was nothing to do, so Du Xiaoyu stopped talking.

After sending Aunt Wu and his wife off after finishing their meal, she found Du Huanghua, and seeing that she was with Du Wenyuan, she asked, "Sister, why isn't mother happy to grow cold melons?" Parents have strange expressions?
"Hey, don't mention it next time." Du Huanghua pulled her towards her and said, "All the cold melons died that time. Mother was so sad that she couldn't eat for a few days, and father was so angry that he hurt his hands." At that time, Du Xiaoyu was still young, no wonder she couldn't remember it, but Du Wenyuan should remember, that year she almost couldn't even eat, she thought about glaring at her younger brother, "You too, why don't you mention cold melons!"

"That time was just an accident. Who would have thought that it would happen? We don't usually have much rain here." Du Wenyuan disagreed, "Besides, in the future, there will always be more fields to plant."

Du Xiaoyu agreed, nodded and said, "Sister, can't you persuade your mother?"

Du Huanghua glanced at her, "You have to grow your own to persuade!" Then she went out to the yard.

Du Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, "Sister seems to be really angry," she tugged on Du Wenyuan's sleeve, "By the way, second brother, don't you still watch astrology? Will it rain all the time this year?"

"What if I'm a celestial master?" Du Wenyuan patted her on the head, "Who can see that?"

It's true, the future weather forecast is not accurate, and they often talk nonsense, and they can only measure within a day or two. Du Xiaoyu sighed, "What should I do? It seems that it can't be planted. It's a pity that those few acres of good fields Aunt Wu said that she had grown rice, wheat, corn, etc. in the past, and it was mentioned in the agricultural book that melons are best grown in fertile land where these have been grown.”

Seeing her dejected, Du Wenyuan comforted, "It's not that there is no chance of turning around, let's think about it together?"

The two went into the house.

Over there, Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao were talking in the room.

Du Xian always loved Xiaoyu, and persuaded him, "Hey, Xiaoyu is so disappointed, why don't you get an acre of land to plant? This kid is greedy, probably thinking about cold melon..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Zhao, "Don't spoil her to heaven, this child is now..." She shook her head as she spoke, always feeling that this little daughter was becoming more and more difficult to hold. Persuaded and agreed to Du Huanghua to learn Su embroidery, but she has always been strong, but she regretted it afterwards, why did her heart follow this girl's heart?
If she wants to grow up a bit, can she listen to everything at home?

Seeing that she was angry, Du Xian hurriedly kept silent.

Thank you liuyina, xiaojiu for the pink ticket~~~
