after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 166 Buying a Fertile Field

Chapter 166 Buying a Fertile Field

Saying goodbye to Madam Xiao and Hongliu, before going out, a little maid carried a big food box and said it was sent by Nanny Yu from the kitchen.

"Miss Lin is really likable, and that old thing is also thinking about it."

Mammy Xiao smiled, took the food box and found that it was not light.

That's right, it was her negligence. On the New Year's Eve trip, she went out of a poor family, and there were many people in the surrounding area for dozens of miles. If she didn't bring enough food, she would have to eat hard pancakes.

The carriage that came to pick up Lin Yuesha stopped at the rear corner gate, and the driver was her stepbrother Xiao Qi.

"Big brother!"

Lin Yuesha shouted excitedly. Although she had a lot of resentment towards this good old man, she felt a strong sense of belonging when she saw her.

"Little sister!"

Xiao Qi got out of the carriage, took the things, and thanked Mother Xiao and Hong Tao politely.

At the same time, the compartment of the carriage opened, Xiao Chenggui and Chen Shi also got out of the carriage, and the two of them said a lot of polite words.

"It's cold, and the snow is still going to fall. You'd better hurry up, don't delay."

Mammy Xiao put the things on the carriage, gave some instructions to Lin Yuesha, and finally pushed the person into the carriage, then stood there silently waving, watching the carriage get farther and farther away.

Lin Yuesha kept waving her hands until she could no longer see anyone, then she sat down with peace of mind and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

"Father, mother, why are you here?"

The time was calculated just right, if it wasn't for this juncture, Mother Xiao might not have let her go back so early.

"Little girl, how are you at home?"

Chen didn't know the truth, thinking that her daughter was hired to help cook because of her culinary skills.

After receiving her father Xiao Chenggui's wink, Lin Yuesha took Chen's arm and acted like a baby, "Mom, I'm doing well, I've gained weight."

Lin Yuesha came with empty hands, and went back with several packages.

She opened the large package and found that there were many things in it.

Small sheepskin boots with high soles, a fur waistcoat, and a few good wound medicines, all of which were prepared by Madam Xiao.

And the embroidery patterns, embroidery threads, exquisite purses, handkerchiefs, and sachets are all gifts from Hongliu.

The package of hearts is much simpler, rouge gouache, and a few beautiful pearl hairpins.

Lin Yuesha had seen these pearl hairpins before, and they were Hongtao's favorite. Hearing that they were gifts from the palace, she was reluctant to wear them on weekdays.

"Since it was given to you, you can keep it first. When we are able, don't forget to return the gift."

Mrs. Chen is an open-minded person, seeing things, she really thinks that her daughter is doing well in the house.In the past, people in Chenjia Village always gossiped behind their backs and nicknamed Lin Yuesha. Chenjia Village was the most lazy, but her daughter, even if she was lazy, was rare!

For this reason, Mrs. Chen straightened her back, very proud of herself.

The food box given by Mammy Yu contained bacon, roast chicken, chicken soup and a large bowl of dumplings.

It is most convenient to eat dumplings when you are away from home.In the carriage, a small red clay stove was used to boil hot water, soak the dumplings and eat them, and the dumplings were just as hot as they were just out of the pot.

Lin Yuesha kept the kindness of these people in her heart.

"Mother, how did you come to see me today?"

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, do not travel far.What's more, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my mother, Mrs. Chen, returned to her natal family.

"Your father and brother and I will come out before dawn."

Coincidentally, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family returned to Chenjia Village and ran into Jiang Huai by accident.

It is difficult to rent a carriage, and it is even more difficult to rent a carriage for long-distance travel.

"Master Jiang's family has no shortage of horse-drawn carriages that can travel far. He transports goods to and from poor gates. The horses are all bought from Manzi. They can still run a hundred kilometers in snowy weather."

Jiang Huai learned that the family wanted to visit Lin Yuesha, so he borrowed a carriage without saying a word.

"So this is ah."

Lin Yuesha looked familiar with the carriage. She had been in this carriage before, and for this long trip, it had been padded with a lot of fur and rearranged.

"Mom, how is the house? How is our house?"

The mother and daughter were separated for more than half a month, as if it had been a long time, Lin Yuesha felt as if she had been separated from her life.

During this time, she has experienced too much, rather than being a stranger to her family.

"On the second day of the new year, my mother went back. Your grandpa and grandma are in better health. It's all thanks to you."

Chen's return to her natal family is very beautiful, and the villagers don't know where they got the news. Knowing that Lin Yuesha came up with a prescription and made a lot of money, they inquired openly and secretly.

Of course, there are also those who speak bitterly behind their backs, such as Mrs. Wang's family, but Mrs. Chen is too lazy to pay attention.

The family rebuilt the big yard, and the news of making money couldn't be hidden, so they had to be mentally prepared.

Years ago, the Chen family was busy earning money, and the pain of Chen Dahua's death eased a lot.

Everyone in the village was in Maodong. The Chen family worked from dawn to dusk, making peanuts in a hanging stove. They didn’t have enough firewood at home, so they had to go to the mountains to collect firewood.

"Your aunt also came back in the second day of junior high school. No, she has made money, and she is also stubborn at her mother's house. She stayed for two days before leaving."

Chen babbled about family affairs, the biggest change in the family was that she bought ten acres of land from the patriarch, all of which were high-quality fertile fields and black land.

25 taels of silver per acre of land, and 250 taels went all at once.

Although it hurts to spend money, the land is the foundation of the farmers. Thinking of having food and income every year in the future, Chen feels happy.

"Mother, our family is also a landed person, and no one will say that you eat from your mother's family in the future."

When Lin Yuesha said a word, Chen's eyes immediately turned red. She had relied on her natal family all these years. Although her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law had nothing to say, the villagers gossip about their tongues, and those words are not pleasant.

She is a woman with a child, and she doesn't want to burden her family, but she has nowhere to go.

Fortunately, the days to come are destined to be different.

"Yuesha, how is your life at home?"

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was about to cry again, Xiao Chenggui changed the subject in time.

Now, Mrs. Chen looked over immediately, she hadn't asked her daughter carefully yet.

"Eat well, drink well, sleep well, live a good life, and have people in the family to take care of you."

Lin Yuesha reported good news but not bad news, only good news.She took out her sewing kit and showed Chen her progress.

"Little girl, I'm sorry for you."

Chen was not happy, but wiped away tears.She knew about her daughter, she couldn't sit still at all, and letting Lin Yuesha practice sewing was like killing her.

Now that the stitches are fine and tight, I must have suffered a lot.

Lin Yuesha twitched the corners of her mouth, wondering if her mother was made of water.

If Ruo Niang Chen knew that she was about to die, she had to be terrified for a long time, so it was right to hide it.

"Mother, I don't work hard. Girls will have to learn sooner or later, otherwise they won't be able to get married in the future."

This was said by Mrs. Chen, and Lin Yuesha borrowed it.
