Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 853 Eating grass roots

Ye Dejiang next to him threw a peanut into his mouth, and said slowly: "It must be that the house with the earthen wall is closed, which can resist the cold to some extent. Our house has windows, so it is colder. They have dug so deep into the ground. , just to prevent the cold wind from entering the room and keep it warm naturally.”

  Grandma Ye gave him a disgusted look: "Don't talk, I didn't ask you."

  Ye Dejiang touched the tip of his nose and muttered, "Didn't I explain it to you kindly?"

  The old Guotou next to him looked at the two with some trepidation, and dared not speak for a while.

   Seeing his eyes that want to look but dare not look, hesitant, obviously misunderstood, Grandma Ye rolled her eyes, "Just answer my question, don't bother him."

Old Guotou glanced at Ye Muyu again, saw that she was not angry, and then explained: "We long-term workers don't have anything to repair the house, and even the wood on the nearby hillside is for the owner. There is no wood. You can only use soil barriers."

   "As for the cold, it will definitely be cold in winter, but just like what this master said, it will be better to drill a little deeper into the ground."

  Ye Muyu walked around a group of mud houses, and found that they were basically dilapidated. She frowned, "Where are the grains you grow?"

   "Ma'am, please come with the younger one." Old Guo didn't dare to neglect, and walked in front with a stooped body.

  The location of Lu Zhuang is good, and there are two wells dug beside the field in Zhuangzili.

  Following the earth-walled house, I walked forward three more field ridges, and saw a small field on the slope, with some radishes planted on it, and there were no more.

"These three plots are not very big. Can you eat together with a hundred people?" Grandma Ye looked at the vegetable plot in front of her eyes. How big is it? Yes, at least a dozen households of long-term workers are definitely not enough.

"Enough is enough, at least you don't need to dig grass roots anymore, ma'am, the little ones are also hungry, so they disobeyed orders and reclaimed wasteland to grow food. Please spare us." Old Guo bowed his head and began to kowtow for mercy. .

  Ye Muyu stepped forward: "Get up, it's the former owner's intention not to let you grow food, but I don't want that."

  Han Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lao Guo up.

  Ye Muyu withdrew her hand, walked around the whole village again, and found that, except for the well-raised tea leaves, there were basically no other products in the whole village, and the life of the long-term workers was even more difficult.

Grandma Ye looked around and couldn't help but be speechless: "I thought that the life of the long-term workers was difficult because the food they were allotted was only enough for themselves. Naturally, there was no extra money to live a good life. Now it seems that it is not just that there is no money. The rest of the money, I can’t even eat enough.”

   "Mother, I'm going back to the house now. I won't accompany you and Dad wherever you want to go shopping."

   "Go, I am familiar with your father in the village, just to help you understand the situation of these long-term workers."

   "Ziluo, do you want to follow grandma or your mother?" Grandma Ye waved her hand grandly, telling Ye Muyu to leave her alone.

  Ziluo held her hand and said, "Grandma, I'll go with you to play, mother, is that okay?"

   "Go, don't run around, pay attention to follow grandma, you know?" Ye Muyu exhorted softly.

  Ziluo hurriedly nodded to show that she understood.

  Grandma Ye called to Ye Dejiang, took Ziluo and turned into the tea shed.
