I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

If Pei Yuan couldn't listen to her words today, then they wouldn't keep him.

"Old lady, I'm sorry, I... I don't know my sister-in-law..."

Pei Yuan wanted to explain, but didn't know how to speak.

What he said just now, he still remembers it in his heart.

Now that he wanted to explain, Pei Yuan felt inexplicably guilty.

I also think that Zhang Siyuan was right when he scolded him before, isn't he just an ungrateful, wolf-hearted person?

Seeing Pei Yuan like this, Mrs. Zhang waved her hand.

"Don't say sorry or anything like that, you have nothing to be sorry for my old woman."

"I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just don't want you to misunderstand that child Qiu Qi."

"Listening to what you said about her before, my old woman feels sorry for her."

Pei Yuan felt guilty, but he didn't know how to apologize.

Think about it carefully why he has such a big opinion on Zhu Qiuqi, I am afraid it is really because of Princess Chaoyang.

Thinking of Princess Chaoyang who was still waiting for Zhang Siyuan in the capital, Pei Yuan closed his eyes.

Some things need fate after all, if you miss it, you miss it...

Old Madam Zhang didn't know what Pei Yuan was thinking, she just looked at his sad expression and thought what she said was too serious.

"Son, I didn't want to talk to you about Qiu Qi. But you misunderstood Qiu Qi so much, I have to defend that child."

"In the early years, Qiu Qi was deceived by her natal family and separated from her family. Not to mention Siyuan, her husband, even their two children, Qiu Qi didn't care."

"A few months ago, many families in our Xiaozhang village had run out of food, and so did Qiuqi's side. She had a bad relationship with the old house at first, and she didn't want to come to our place to borrow food, so she went to her mother's house. .”

"Unfortunately, the Zhu family not only failed to lend her food, but even beat her. When Qiu Qi woke up again, she broke off her relationship with her natal family, and even went to the county government to sign the paperwork."

When Pei Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.

A married woman can sever ties with her natal family, which cuts off her own future.

"It was also after that incident that Qiuqi changed her nature. It was she who discovered the undercurrent and the lotus pond in the back mountain, which allowed us in Xiaozhangzhuang to survive."

Thinking of what happened, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that some families in their Xiaozhang Village were on the verge of starving to death a few months ago?

Regarding the situation of this drought, Pei Yuan also found out about it through Post Search.

It's just that he didn't expect that the people here would die because of this natural disaster. If so, why didn't Zhang Siyuan go to the capital to find them?

Pei Yuan subconsciously looked in the direction of the east room, but found that although the lights in the east room were on, no one spoke.

Pei Yuan frowned, he knew that what happened back then had hit Zhang Siyuan hard.But now that it's such a dangerous time for life and death, why does Zhang Siyuan...

Pei Yuan recalled what happened back then, and it was hard to tell Zhang Siyuan's fault.

Moreover, Pei Yuan didn't dare to think about what would happen to him once he was suspected of his meritorious deeds.

The reason why the old lady of the Zhang family didn't hide the undercurrent of the back mountain from Pei Yuan was because she thought that since Pei Yuan came from the back mountain, he must also know about the situation in the back mountain.

And now the undercurrent has become the government's, even if others know about it, they don't have to worry about it.

"Our village was once attacked by thieves, and all the food in the family was stolen. The family members were helpless, and even their only granddaughter had to be given away in the end."

"Later, Qiu Qi stopped her and distributed the lotus roots from the back mountain to everyone. This saved our Xiaozhang Village from being destroyed again and again."

Thinking of what happened before, Mrs. Zhang sighed.

She actually understood that the Tian family was not the only ones who encountered that kind of predicament.

There are also a few families in Xiaozhangzhuang, and it is time to run out of food.

If it weren't for the lotus roots dug out by Zhu Qiuqi, I am afraid that Xiao Zhangzhuang would not have a peaceful life.

Pei Yuan's expression moved slightly, inexplicably thinking of the bloodshot eyes that couldn't be concealed when Zhu Qiuqi changed his dressing yesterday.

It was he himself who was so full of things about Princess Chaoyang that he forgot about these things.

Pei Yuan felt that he had really lost his mind before, and he could ignore such an obvious matter.

"Besides the undercurrent, the canal, and the waterwheel, Qiuqi also needs to make pills to make money when she comes back at night."

"If our family didn't have Qiuqi, I'm afraid we would have tightened our belts long ago. Let alone a full meal, we might not be able to eat even a mouthful of hot food."

Thinking of what happened before, the worry in Mrs. Zhang's eyes dissipated a bit.

Although I don't know why Pei Yuan misunderstood Zhu Qiuqi, but her family members should support her.

When Pei Yuan heard Mrs. Zhang mention the waterwheel, he inexplicably thought of the behemoth he saw when he was in the back mountain.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry also proposed this waterwheel before, and it is said that it was found in a small mountain village.

But he didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought it was normal for the common people to make a farm tool that was good for the farmland.

But he never expected that this small mountain village turned out to be Zhang Siyuan's hometown.

What's more, Zhang Siyuan's wife did not expect that the waterwheel, which was repeatedly praised by the emperor, was actually made by Zhang Siyuan's wife.

"Old lady, are you sure sister-in-law made this waterwheel? How could sister-in-law..."

Mrs. Zhang supported him to lift the water truck, but she didn't hide it.

After all, the blueprint of the waterwheel has been handed over to the imperial court. Even if someone cares about the number of vehicles, he should find someone from the imperial court.

"You're right, that waterwheel was not made by Qiuqi, how could such a big waterwheel be made by Qiuqi alone?"

When Pei Yuan heard this, Mo Min breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how good Zhu Qiuqi is, he is just an ordinary person.

And she is a woman living in a small mountain village, how could she make something like a waterwheel?

However, the old lady of the Zhang family looked down upon her, especially considering that everyone didn't trust the appearance of the waterwheel at first.

"Qiu Qi did not make the water wheel, but Qiu Qi drew the blueprint of the water wheel. There were only a few carpenters in the village at that time, so the things they made were not as exquisite as Qiu Qi's drawings."

"However, Qiu Qi also said that such a waterwheel is enough for our Xiaozhang Village. Because of this, the first waterwheel we made also stayed in our Xiaozhangzhuang."

Pei Yuan's eyes widened because of this matter, and he didn't know how to describe his shock.

If Zhu Qiuqi was just an ordinary village woman, he might not have so many worries.

But Zhu Qiuqi is not ordinary, and even has some talents.
