Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

On the day they returned home, Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning carried a bamboo basket full of home gifts.

Huo Yunchao looked beaming with joy and greeted everyone he met with a smile and a sweet mouth.

The Huo and Xu families were not far from each other, only five minutes away. The newlyweds took a stroll and soon arrived at the door of the Huo family.

Huo Yunchao knocked on the door and shouted: "Dad, stepmother, I'm back!"

Huo Tianxiang had been waiting in the yard for Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning to come back. He heard the noise and came over to open the door: "Oh, why do you two bring such old things?"

Huo Yunchao refused to let his old father carry the things, "Dad, the things are not heavy, I can just carry them."

Huo Tianxiang was overjoyed. Before he could speak, he heard Huo Yunchao say happily: "Dad, look at the tea money that my father Xu gave me! It's half a tael of silver!"

Huo Tianxiang glared at Huo Yunchao, who was whirring, and said angrily: "You bastard! Why are you shouting so loudly? Your father is not deaf!"

Huo Yunchao's mouth was so sweet: "Hey hey hey, aren't I happy? I have good news and I want to share it with you, dad."

Huo Tianxiang's hard-working face soon became unbearable and blossomed into chrysanthemums.

Xu Ning greeted Huo Tianxiang: "Dad Huo, I'm going to help my stepmother."

Mrs. Chen did not let Xu Ning help: "No, no, Ning Niang, there is not much work in the kitchen. Let's chat with your father Huo. Ning Niang, you and Chao'er are distinguished guests. I can't let you do any work today." , if word spreads about it, it will bring bad reputation to the Huo family and you."

Xu Ning tried her best to persuade Mrs. Chen, but couldn't persuade her, so she had to go back to the main room to chat with Huo Tianxiang.

After Huo Yunchao showed off the tea money given by his father Xu, he saw Xu Ning sitting down

Feeling uncomfortable all over, he said to Huo: "Dad, Ning Niang said she wanted to make me a strong wooden desk with her own hands. Please teach Ning Niang."

Huo Tianxiang looked at Xu Ning with surprise on his face: "Mother Ning, do you really want to learn carpentry from Father Huo?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Dad Huo, I want to make a desk and a chair for my husband."

Huo Yunchao interrupted and said, "No, I want to make two chairs! When our study is tidied up, Ning Niang, you have to learn how to read from me."

Xu Ning was surprised: "Ms. sir, I am a woman..."

Huo Yunchao didn't say anything about women's rights or not. He said it from a practical point of view: "Why can't women read? I would say that women should read and read! Since ancient times, men have dominated the outside and women have dominated the house. The men earn money outside to support the family. , women take care of their husbands and raise their children at home. Children mainly rely on women to educate them. Only by reading more and learning more principles can they better teach their children how to behave in the world. Ning Niang, when our children grow up and go to school, Ning Niang You can also help with homework."

Huo Tianxiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Chao'er is right! Ning Niang, you have to learn from Chao'er!"

"Dad Huo, I understand. Then please teach me how to make wooden tables and wooden chairs."

Xu Ning thought about it carefully and knew that Huo Yunchao had his own thoughts, but what he said was reasonable.

Huo Tianxiang praised from the bottom of his heart: "Great! Ning Niang, you are flexible and careful, and you are very suitable for carpentry work."

Huo Yunchao stayed with Huo Tianxiang and Xu Ning in the backyard for a stick of incense. Seeing how serious they were in their work, he quietly slipped into the kitchen and said, "Stepmother, I'll be in charge of the ladle. You can help me."

Mrs. Chen is afraid of herself

The fried food was not delicious, and she wished that Huo Yunchao could cook it, but she didn't want people to say that she was exploiting her stepson: "Chao'er, you come back today..."

Huo Yunchao interrupted Chen's foreshadowing and made a direct request: "Stepmother, don't think about whether we have these things or not. We live behind closed doors, what do we care about others? What dishes are there at home? How many dishes should we make? ?”

Listening to these words, Mrs. Chen felt more and more curious about her stepson: "Chao'er, Hai'er and Ze'er went to catch loaches. By the way, your father also brought back a big fish from the net. Here, he raised it in the water tank."

Huo Yunchao discussed with Mrs. Chen: "This fish must weigh nine kilograms! Stepmother, I plan to chop it all, fry it into fish pieces, eat half of it and keep the other half."

Mrs. Chen only replied: "Chaoer has the final say."

Xu Ning and Xu Ying, cousins, got married on the same day and returned home on the same day.

Xu Ying was immersed in the grief and anger of marrying the wrong man and the regret of jumping into the fire pit, unable to extricate herself and had no time to care.

Xu Dadun and the Lu family asked for help from the Zhou landlord family. They hoped to use the power of the Zhou family to deter the noisy Xu Dahai family.

Unfortunately, Xu Dadun and Mr. Lu overestimated the importance of in-law relationships in Landlord Zhou's family. They also did not think about it. If Landlord Zhou's family really valued in-law relationships, how could they have allowed Young Master Zhou to kill his wife twice?

Lu had no way to seek help, and could not take advantage of landlord Zhou's family. She was afraid that Xu Dahai's family would really cost her precious brother his life, so she ran back to her parents' house to ask for help.

Lu Ba is the only child of the Lu family, and he has no descendants. If he dies, the Lu family will really be extinct.

When Ms. Lu returned to her parents' home, she followed the rabbit into the wolf's den and almost never returned.

Finally looking forward to Xu Ying’s return

On that day, Mr. Lu was heartbroken and deliberately did it in front of everyone. When Xu Ying got off the carriage, she knelt on the ground and begged: "Mother Ying, your uncle is not evil, he just wants to save you more money..."

Xu Ying was confused by her mother's sudden move. She quickly came to Mrs. Lu and knelt face to face with her: "Mom, what are you doing?"

In her heart, she wanted to tear Lu Ba into pieces, but she could not disobey the Lu family on her face, otherwise her reputation would be completely ruined, and the Zhou family would have even more reason to bully her.

Mrs. Lu burst into tears and said, "Ms. Ying, your uncle is confused, but he is your uncle after all. You can't just die without saving him."

Xu Ying wiped her tears and urged, "Mom, please tell me what stupid thing my uncle did again?"

She originally wanted to go back and go through the motions, mainly to show off in front of Xu Ning, so that Xu Ning would know that she picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.

However, what Lu did was tantamount to putting Xu Ying on the fire, and her hatred for Lu became even more intense.

Before Mrs. Lu could come up with a good excuse, Mrs. Xu led a group of children and grandchildren to surround Xu Ying, asking Xu Ying to hand over Lu Ba.

Xu Ying learned that Lu Ba brought sick pigs, which caused Xu Dahai and Zhu Zhu to die of poison. She asked Lu in disbelief: "Mom, are what they said true? Didn't the Zhou family give you ten Why don’t you buy a banquet for five taels?”

The onlookers were in an uproar:

"The Zhou family gave fifteen taels to buy a banquet? A three-hundred-jin fat pig costs only three taels of silver! The banquet for Xu Ying's wedding was enough to buy eight hundred and ten tables, and there was still four or five taels left. two!"

"The Zhou family obviously paid so much money to buy a banquet, but Lu Ba actually bought sick pigs and made them into poisonous meat for people to eat. Xu Dadun's family is completely unconscionable!"

"Who says it's not the case? Every one in this family is a bastard!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Mrs. Lu was so angry that she bared her teeth and said, "Mother Ying, tell me, will you save your uncle?"

When Xu Ying thought about the people she had eaten at her wedding banquet, she wanted to eat the culprit alive. How could she think of saving Lu Ba?

When Mrs. Lu saw that Xu Ying was silent, she sat on the floor and acted violently, crying and crying. She was unfilial and blamed Xu Ying.
