After her husband died in battle, she relied on the villain cub to make a comeback.

To be honest, Ye Changmin and Zhou Qingli didn't have much contact.

She spent most of her time in town selling her chicken tenders and studying with young scholars.

I remember that the last time we met in a restaurant, Zhou Qingli was still a graceful and luxurious lady. Now her eyes are sunken and she is half dead?

"She was harmed by her adopted son-in-law who wanted to seize the family property. Mom, I can see clearly now. If a man wants to cheat, it doesn't matter whether you are a fairy daughter in the sky or a village beauty in the valley."

Cheng Niuniu shrugged and said, "Not getting married and having children will keep you safe!"

Ye Changmin surprisingly did not refute this time, but said, "Miss Zhou was so kind to him. Even if she doesn't have love, she should still be grateful, right? How come she went to the stage of murdering her wife?"

Ye Zhizhi sneered, "People are incompetent and snakes swallow elephants. What does it mean to get promoted and get rich at the expense of your wife? Only a woman with a unclear mind would think of giving up her youth, scrimping and living frugally to accompany a man from nothing to ruling the world."

In fact, when people are in times of hardship, their requirements for the appearance and conduct of their significant other will decrease.

A woman's passionate and unreserved dedication can really send a man to a high position. If the other party has money and power, he will naturally think of finding a young and charming wife with a family background, appearance, and conduct worthy of his. A bad wife is not a problem. What?

The stupidest thing Zhou Qingli did was to marry Feng Qingshan despite his parents' objections and completely hand over the power of the housekeeper.

As everyone knows, men, especially men in ancient times, don’t want to have money and power, three wives and four concubines. Otherwise, why would it be said that there is a beauty like jade in the book?

This is telling you that if you read too much, you will be able to pass the top exam. No matter how beautiful, ugly, fat or thin you are, there are many beauties in the world for you to choose from and play with.

It's a pity that although men understand the truth, many women are confused by the three obediences and four virtues written by men.

They thought that by being obedient, having children, and using their parents' wealth to support their husband's family, they would be able to make their husbands devote themselves to them.

Cheng Niuniu nodded in agreement, took out a small notebook and wrote down what her cousin said.

Ye Zhizhi waved her hand, "Okay, sister-in-law, please take care of Sister Zhou during this time. The Feng family is not doing this properly. I'm going to publicize it. When the day comes, I want everyone in the town to come. Look at the Feng family’s joke!”

"But wouldn't it be bad if it caused too much trouble?"

Ye Changmin was a little hesitant. After all, this world is dominated by men. She was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would be secretly said to be unwomanly, unruly, and so on. What if those people would scold Zhizhi as well?

But could Ye Zhizhi be someone who cared about reputation?

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! The rice harvest in the village has been finished, and I want to try planting another winter rice!"

Ye Zhizhi was not engaged in agriculture in his previous life, and he didn't understand anything about wheat or rice.

But fortunately, there were some books about "Postpartum Care of Sows" and "Rice" in her small farmyard. She read them at a glance in the past few nights, and she finally understood them.

In ancient times, rice was only grown once, because it was not cold-tolerant and had low yields, so it would die if planted in winter.

But Ye Zhizhi still took Si Zhu and they bought some rice from the grain shop and hired some long-term workers to plant it.

Of course, the rice being planted must not only be ancient rice, but also some grown in the space of leaves and branches.

It's hard to say how many leaves and branches these rice can survive the winter, but her behavior was quite bold, and Zhou Shuhe who returned to the village with her was shocked.

"Aren't you afraid of spending your money down the drain?"

"It's all in vain," Ye Zhizhi didn't like what he said. "What if my rice can survive the winter?"

"The possibility of it happening is very small." Zhou Shuhe said sincerely, "Do you know the Department of Agriculture? Dayong set up a research department specifically. At first, it studied the yield of rice and the growth of lychee and sand fruit, but they were not successful. Later, it was Specially cultivate some precious flowers and plants for the harem and concubines to play with.

Food was scarce and precious. Not to mention that the people did not have enough to eat, even when marching and fighting, it was indispensable.If you can really grow rice that can survive the winter, you will be indispensable for the title of marquis and the prime minister. "

There is no need for big cakes such as being granted the title of marquis or prime minister. It is just seeing that there is no idle land all over the world and the farmers are still starving to death. Ye Zhizhi feels pity in his heart, so he does his best.

But this matter is different in the eyes of everyone in the village.

Using twenty acres of land to grow rice that can't survive at all, the Ye family is getting richer and richer, and they are getting more and more ridiculous!

Everyone secretly said that Ye Zhizhi was stupid and that these rice plants would die this winter.

But on the surface, because of their different status, they all behaved very respectfully and did not dare to dissuade them. They just regarded this matter as a joke in private.

But it was different when the matter reached the ears of the Xiao family's old residence and several clan heads of the Xiao family.

Especially the third uncle of the Xiao family, who ran into the fields without even wearing any shoes, "Sanzhu? Are you helping your mother grow rice here?! What a nonsense! How can we grow food here in the winter? What are you doing?" You want to force the whole village to die with you!"

In fact, there has been a rumor in Qinghe County in recent years, why floods, droughts, and locust plagues continue in the south.

It was because four years ago, a family who was very good at growing glutinous rice came to Fenghuang Town next door.

That family was extremely wealthy, and they made their fortune by growing glutinous rice.

There was only one beautiful daughter in his family. At that time, County Magistrate Sun came to ask for her hand in marriage and wanted to take her as his concubine, but he did not agree.

The three members of the family farmed their own land. They also said that glutinous rice is cold-resistant and can be planted in winter, so they bought five acres of land to plant glutinous rice.

The results of it?

Originally, it was almost winter at that time, and there would be snow falling from the sky in the next two months. But who knew, not long after the glutinous rice was planted, floods occurred, and all the glutinous rice in the five acres of land was soaked to death. Then came another locust plague!

Those densely packed locusts, the moment they flew over, there was no grass growing on them!

The food that the farmers worked so hard to grow was just eaten up by a group of insects!

Some people say that the vision coming from heaven is because His Majesty killed his father and brother, causing God to be angry.

But the people in Qingyuan County said that the blame for this incident was on the Jiang family who grew glutinous rice.

Harvest in autumn and store in winter. This is the rule left by our ancestors. When to sow and when to rest. If you let the land take care of your food all year round, the father-in-law of the land will definitely be angry if he doesn't have days to rest. He will punish these ignorant people with disasters. the people!

So three years ago, County Magistrate Chen sent people to kill the Jiang family, and tied Miss Jiang to a boat and let her float down the river, saying that he wanted to give her to He Bo to calm his anger.

But God’s wrath cannot be so easily appeased.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have suffered for so many years, so after learning that Ye Zhizhi was going to plant rice, the older generation in the village panicked.
