Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen was so anxious that she knew the top priority was to figure out the whole story.

She calmed down and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Then uncle, please tell me the specific situation."

Ye Yongrui sighed, with a trace of helplessness in his tone: "Actually, we don't know much about this matter. We just know that Zixuan found a concubine for Huaiyu not long after you left. It is said that she is a good concubine."

Zi Zifen felt a little incredible, and she asked: "Zi Xuan gave Zhang Huaiyu a concubine? Does Zhang Huaiyu enjoy it as a matter of course?"

She didn't know why Zhi Xuan did this. This idea was a bit stupid.

Ye Zifen doesn't think Zhang Huaiyu is such a person. In her heart, Zhang Huaiyu is not that stupid.

He can still tell which one is light and which is serious.

Zhi Xuan is also a member of the Ye family. Although Zhi Zifen doesn't like Zhi Xuan, she will not let the Ye family be bullied like this. This will have a certain impact on the reputation of the girls of the Ye family.

She, Ye Zifen, will never stand idly by.

Ye Yongrui shook his head, "At first Huaiyu didn't agree at all, and even had a big quarrel with your sister because of this matter. But later, I don't know why. Huaiyu not only had a relationship with that concubine, but also seemed to have No more going into your sister’s yard.”

Ye Zifen listened thoughtfully. She didn't think Zhi Xuan was innocent. Of course, she didn't think it would be that simple.

Ye Yongrui sighed and said with emotion: "You don't know, that was the busiest time for digging ditches in Feng County. Huaiyu was originally the county magistrate, and he was so busy that he ended up frowning when he came every day. , asked him what the reason was, but he still didn’t tell me.”

Ye Zifen understood that the situation in Feng County was not only a matter of raising money, but also of manpower and time for the river water to pass.

If the digging of ditches had been slower and the river water had flown out too late to irrigate the wheat in time, Fengxian County probably would not be where it is today.

During that period, everyone was working under pressure, and the one at the forefront was Zhang Huaiyu.

In his daily letters to Ye Zifen, Ye Zitong mentioned the situation in the county government at that time.

There is also a lot about Zhang Huaiyu.

It is said that Zhang Huaiyu is busy at the construction site every day. He also personally directs the workers to dig ditches and inspects the progress and quality of the project.

Ye Zitong said that Zhang Huaiyu often had a tired look on his face.

Of course, Ye Zifen believes that this is because only by completing the excavation of the ditch as soon as possible can we ensure the irrigation of wheat and allow the people of Feng County to overcome this difficulty.

It is said that the time required for manpower and river water to pass was a bigger problem at that time.

Feng County has a small population, and digging ditches requires a lot of manpower, which gives Zhang Huaiyu a big headache.

He could only continue to recruit workers and encourage people to actively participate in digging trenches.

He also said that Zhang Huaiyu was worried about how long the river water would pass. He went to the river every day to observe the water potential and adjust the progress of digging ditches according to changes in the water potential.

He often stayed by the river for most of the day until he was sure that the river water could pass through the ditch in time and irrigate the wheat fields.

During that time, Zhang Huaiyu was under great pressure.

He is busy at the construction site every day, and returns to the county office at night to handle various matters.

Even though he lost weight, he still insisted on inspecting the construction site every day to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

It can be seen from Ye Zitong's letter that he is full of emotion and admiration for Zhang Huaiyu.

Ye Zifen also knew that Zhang Huaiyu was a very responsible county magistrate who would sacrifice everything for the people of Feng County.

Ye Zifen was not bothered by this and asked: "What happened next?"

Ye Yongrui sighed, "Oh! Later, I asked more times, and Huaiyu finally revealed some information to me."

It turns out that since Zizifen and the others left Feng County, Zixuan had always deliberately found fault with Zhang Huaiyu.

Among them, there must be a reason why Ye Zifen gave Zhang Huaiyu an idea and a ditch digging plan.

At the beginning, Zhang Huaiyu tried his best to understand Zixuan's poor health and often avoided her.

However, as his own pressure increased, he became too busy to care about Zixuan's mood and thoughts.

From that time on, Zhi Xuan became even more worried about gains and losses, even to the point of intensifying her worries.

Finally, at someone's suggestion, Zixuan took the initiative to give Zhang Huaiyu a concubine.

When the concubine entered the house, Zhang Huaiyu was too busy to take care of things in the backyard. He didn't even know that he had an extra concubine.

Until one day, this concubine ignored the rules and came to the front yard to find Zhang Huaiyu, causing him to lose face in front of all the adults.

Zhang Huaiyu blamed Zixuan for this, thinking that she should not give him a concubine, and also blamed her for not taking good care of the concubine.

Zhi Xuan felt that she was wronged because the concubine was instructed by Zhang Yu to go to the front yard to find Zhang Huaiyu.

From that day on, Zhi Xuan became yin and yang, and whenever the two met, they were at odds with each other.

Zhang Huaiyu didn't pay attention to the concubine at first, but under the constant stimulation of Zixuan, one day he entered the concubine's room angrily and had sex with the concubine.

From then on, the relationship between Zhang Huaiyu and Zixuan became even worse.

Zixuan ignored Zhang Huaiyu and put all her thoughts on taking care of Zhang Chengye.

Until news of the pregnancy came out from that concubine, Zixuan stopped taking care of the house and only took Zhang Chengye to study.

Ye Yongrui sighed and said: "After she became pregnant in that dormitory, Huaiyu wanted not to have the child."

Ye Zifen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a look of disapproval on his face.

Who among men in this era doesn’t want to have children of his own? Even if the child was born from a concubine, it is still his flesh and blood. Who would be willing to give up his own flesh and blood?

Ye Yongrui did not see Ye Zifen's doubts and continued: "The conflict between him and Zixuan has been deepening. If they have this child, they may really be at odds with each other. But you also know Zixuan is her mother-in-law. Huaiyu is the only child of the Zhang family. She always hopes that the Zhang family will have as many children as possible. What’s more, Zixuan has injured her body again and will not be able to have children for at least three to five years. She is very anxious. of."

If it didn't make sense to say that it was Ye Zifen, she even felt that the matter of raising a concubine should have something to do with Zhang Yushi.

In fact, if you think about it, Zixuan's decision to help Zhang Huaiyu raise funds regardless of her physical condition was both wrong and wrong.
