A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

Ever since Yan Shu brought back many things in the Liu family's carriage, everyone in the village started gossiping more about this widowed woman.

Yan Shu disagreed. After returning from the county town that day, Yan Shu started looking for someone to renovate the thatched house at home.

In order to move into the new house as soon as possible and improve the living environment, Yan Shu went to the town and hired a group of masonry and carpenters. A large group of men rebuilt the thatched house into an antique wooden house in seven days.

No one in the village knew where Yan Shu had made a fortune and could use so many laborers to build a new house in a few days.

It was already dark after returning from the county town that day. Yan Shu took advantage of the night when the whole village was quiet to put the extra gold ingots in three earthen jars and bury them. The remaining dozens of silver ingots were enough for the two of them to spend for a year. of.

Since the new house was built, the mothers-in-law, aunts and uncles in the village couldn't help but come to visit. Because this wooden house is completely different from other houses in the village. They never dreamed that this was not a house structure that ancient people could come up with.

The entire wooden house is simple and refreshing, with a total of four rooms inside and outside, which is enough for the two of them. Yan Shu also planned to raise some chickens and ducks, and plant some flowers and plants in the yard. Isn't this the ideal pastoral life? She didn't expect it to be realized so quickly.

Within a few days of starting their new life, the Li family began to find trouble.

After Yan Shu moved into her new house, almost everyone in the village came to congratulate her, but the Li family remained silent.

Mrs. Zhang, the mother-in-law of the Li family here, was filled with hatred. "This woman really doesn't know what to do. My son died unjustly. As soon as he left, this woman started to behave in an unruly manner."

"Mom, where do you think my sister-in-law got so much money to build a new house and buy things? I saw her going to the county town that day and knew she was not doing anything good. Later, you saw her coming back in a carriage with a swagger. Could it be that some local tycoon and squire took advantage."

The leaves and sweet-scented osmanthus are angry.

"You see, she has been kicked out of the Li family. She is not qualified to allocate land and build houses in the village. We should ask the village chief to give us justice. She, Wen Yanshu, is no longer qualified to live in our village and should be kicked out!"

Ms. Zhang didn't say anything. She was thinking about how to get some benefits from her eldest daughter-in-law. Wen Yanshu is no longer what she was before.

Zhang also wanted to use his arrogance and domineering attitude to pressure Yan Shu into giving her something practical. Then he said: "Don't worry now, everyone, let's go find out where the money she talked about came from. If she is willing to use some money to do something for the Li family, we won't make it difficult for her. If she doesn't express it, don't blame us for being ruthless. There is no place for them in this Huaishu Village!"

"What mother said makes sense, let's take a look first and then talk." Li Jialin agreed. Although he is currently the main labor force of the Li family, he still can't change his habit of wanting to take advantage of others.

"Then after we have lunch, we will go to my sister-in-law's house to make her a request. If she doesn't show some sincerity, don't blame us for being rude."

Yan Shu and Yaya had just finished lunch and were getting ready to take a rest. There was a burst of chirping and shouting outside the door. Yan Shu listened carefully for a few words and thought to herself: "What is supposed to come will come sooner or later. Let's see what tricks they can pull off today. Damn it, I have soldiers to block it now and water to cover it up."

After thinking about it, Yan Shu walked out of her door and looked at the Zhang family and the three of them calmly. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ye Guihua were stunned for a moment. Standing outside the new house, they lost the posture of the main battlefield.

"Sister-in-law, my mother and I came here today to wish you a happy housewarming. You see, you moved to a new house without saying a word to your husband's family. Now that you are rich, you can't forget your mother." Li Jialin said shamelessly, glancing at her from time to time. Ask Zhang for some response.

"Haha, you guys think of me, Wen Yanshu, today. I haven't seen you help me much before. Tell me, what are you asking me for today?" Yan Shu moved a stool and sat down on her own, looking at the three of them. .

"Hey, sister-in-law! Don't be so outspoken. Look at how grand your house is. When we lived together, it was really hard to live in a place as big as your palm. I didn't expect you to get rich so quickly as soon as you came out, so you still have to rely on your mother. Where is your blessing, right? Mom."

Ye Guihua still has the same old accent, and her voice is always drawn out when she speaks.

Ms. Zhang next to her had an unhappy look on her face: "You are really a mediocre person. He only cares about living a good life and enjoying himself. He doesn't know how to be filial to the elderly."

After saying that, he walked into the main room and sat up on the chair. "Today we are here to tell you that you must do your part to repair our Li family's old house."

"As you know before we lived together, the old house has been in disrepair and the place is not big. The west room where your second brother and Guihua live is too small, and the wall of the east room where I live is almost completely collapsed by mouse holes. Look, It's okay for you to live in such a big house with your children alone. Logically, you have to spend some money to help the Li family. This can be regarded as a filial piety for my deceased eldest son. "

"Haha, what a shameless old woman, she can say this. It's her grandma's fault!" Yan Shu cursed angrily in her heart, but she had a kind look on her face.

"Oh, it turns out you feel uncomfortable seeing me living in a new house. But, mother, it's not that I don't want to spend money to honor you. You see, you kicked me out and I had no choice but to stay at the foot of the mountain. Let’s build a shack to survive. At that time, I didn’t see any of you having the kindness to help us orphans and widowed mothers.”

"Besides, I have spent all my money on repairing this house, and I also have foreign debts. It is impossible to come up with money to help you! It seems that you will return without success today. Yes. Come on, Yaya and I have already had lunch, so I won’t leave you here, please do as you please!”

Mrs. Zhang saw that Yan Shu was not as obedient and easy to bully as before, so she threatened her with words: "If you don't contribute money and help, I will sue the village chief. The house you live in now also belongs to the property of my Li family. I am an old woman." You have the right to move in at any time. Without the nod from my Li family, you, Wen Yanshu, would not have the right to build a house in Huaishu Village without any title."

"I'm confused too, so you can go ahead and sue me. I don't believe there is no justice in heaven. It's known to everyone in the village that you guys bullied my orphan and widowed mother. Even if I, Wen Yanshu, appeal to the county magistrate, I won't necessarily lose!"

"Mom, let's go. It's useless to waste time here. I'll go to the head of the village in a moment and tell her that it would be unforgivable for heaven to tolerate her gentle Yanshu if she can't show her filial piety."

Li Jialin supported Mrs. Zhang as she walked out. Ye Guihua walked out of the yard without forgetting to turn back and fight back: "Don't be too proud. If you don't listen to us, you will not be able to stay in the village. Let's see how you survive!"

Back in the house, Yaya asked worriedly: "Mom, will grandma and the others really live in our new house? I don't want her and aunt to move in and bully you."

"No, Yaya, no one dares to live in this house without mother's permission."

Yan Shu said this, but she was still a little worried in her heart. After all, in this feudal patriarchal society, it was difficult for a woman like her to compete with the feudal forces. She should go to the head of the village early tomorrow to explain the current situation. She didn't want the family fortune she had created to be handed over to the people who bullied her Li family.
