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

When Lin Xiaocao hears someone making irresponsible remarks about her family affairs, she will definitely scold them in person, making those long-tongued people bloody.

However, Lin Xiaocao's counterattack could only show off her attitude and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

An ancient saying goes, “It is better to guard against the people’s mouth than against the river.”

Even though Lin Xiaocao had the ability to scold people all over the world, she still couldn't stop the mouths of talkative people. The more she cared about it, the more internal friction she felt.

Zheng Shaoxuan accidentally learned about this from the student's parents. He realized his mistake and took immediate action to correct it.

In order to protect Lin Xiaocao's reputation, Zheng Shaoxuan chose to announce in public that he was studying to become a master in the Huo family in Pingle Village, and also asked the parents of the students to cooperate.

Even if Zheng Shaoxuan did this, the gossip in the village did not decrease.

Those shady and talkative people like to get together and fight in groups. Every time they see Lin Xiaocao in the village, they always call her "Scholar Lady" in a weird way:

"Hey! Scholar lady, you can't stay at home to take care of yourself and have babies, so why are you working in the fields again?"

"Aren't there two strong men coming to weed your wheat field today?"

"Scholar lady, why don't you say anything? Could it be that you look down on us?"

Lin Xiaocao knew full well that these people were deliberately poking at her heart with the "scholar lady".

Every time she heard it, she would scold him in person, but even after scolding her, she still couldn't help but get sulky.

By the time Zheng Shaoxuan returned home, Lin Xiaocao had already relieved her worries, so she never complained to Zheng Shaoxuan about these annoying things.

Lin Xiaocao felt sorry for her husband who had to work away from home. She didn't want Zheng Shaoxuan to cause trouble, and there was no one close to her in the village to talk to, so she had to hide her resentment.

In the bottom of my heart.

Until Xu Ning came to visit Lin Xiaocao, the sisters were busy with the work at hand and chatting about daily life.

When talking about this matter, Lin Xiaocao became irritated and said angrily: "Ning Niang, those people called me a talented lady when they saw me. I was so angry that I scolded them. They even said with a smile that I couldn't take a joke. , Hey, I’m even more angry. Ning Niang, what do you think I should do?”

Xu Ning has been criticized since she was a child. She has already developed the ability to deal with herself. She comforted: "Sister Xiaocao, don't be fooled by these bad people. You will only fulfill their wishes by being sulky. My husband said, once When someone says something that makes us uncomfortable, we don’t care about the consequences and just scold him back.

After we finish venting the anger in our hearts, we can continue to do what we should do, such as making money to build a new house. Sister Xiaocao, my husband said, the best revenge is to live a thousand times better than the bad guy! "

Lin Xiaocao paused, looked up at the leaky shabby house, clenched his fists but quickly released them.

Why doesn't she want to make money to build a new house?

Lin Xiaocao was born in a poor family and was illiterate. She didn't know much about the truth. She just wanted to manage her one-third of an acre of land and try her best to have food, clothing, and a roof over her head.

Her husband read poetry and books, and his books were the most treasured. Once it was windy or rainy, the most important thing was not to eat food but to preserve his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Facing her sisters, Lin Xiaocao didn't need to hide anything. She told the truth: "Ning Niang, I asked someone to build a new house. It will cost at least twenty taels of silver. The head of the family took most of the bundles he received for repairs." The old debt has been paid off. The money at home is only enough for daily life.

"

Xu Ning came here not only to visit Lin Xiaocao, but also with the task of getting Zheng Shaoxuan and Lin Xiaocao to work together to make ink.

Huo Yunchao couldn't wait for Zheng Shaoxuan's response. He guessed that Zheng Shaoxuan didn't want to take advantage of him and was deliberately pretending to be confused and delaying to deal with him.

The original person committed a great evil and forcibly took away Zheng Shaoxuan's ink-making skills. In order to save his dowry, Huo Yunchao took advantage of the ink-making skills that Zheng Shaoxuan had painstakingly studied in his previous life.

Huo Yunchao wanted to recruit Zheng Shaoxuan to join the gang. Apart from feeling guilty, he also considered Zheng Shaoxuan's character and creativity. Zheng Shaoxuan is a trustworthy partner and a capable person who can figure out a whole set of ink-making techniques on his own. He must provide good support.

However, Zheng Shaoxuan didn't reply for a long time, so Huo Yunchao had to ask Xu Ning to persuade Lin Xiaocao first, and then let Lin Xiaocao persuade Zheng Shaoxuan to adopt the "lady's diplomacy route".

Xu Ning, like her husband-in-law, is a straight-talking person who doesn't mince words: "Sister Xiaocao, my husband-in-law said that he told Brother Zheng before that he wanted to make ink together, but Brother Zheng didn't mention it to you. Have you ever lived through this?"

Lin Xiaocao heard Zheng Shaoxuan mention the matter of making ink, and she also knew that Zheng Shaoxuan did not want to take advantage: "The head of the family mentioned this matter. Ning Niang, I want to earn money to build a new house, and I also want to save money for the head of the family to study, but I can not……"

Before Lin Xiaocao finished her words of rejection, Xu Ning interrupted her, stared at Lin Xiaocao and said, "Sister Xiaocao, I won't tell you about the yes and no. I'll come and find you today." Your purpose is to get you to join the gang.

The skills and materials for making ink were provided by my husband-in-law. My husband-in-law said that Brother Zheng is a very thoughtful person.

, Brother Zheng has the ability to further upgrade the ink-making skills provided by my husband.

More importantly, you know that my family member, Mr. Ding, cannot rely entirely on the Huo family. Sister Xiaocao, I can’t trust anyone else. I can only trust you and Brother Zheng. Sister Xiaocao, you must come and help me! "

Lin Xiaocao couldn't talk to Xu Ning, and she really wanted to make money to improve her life. She stuttered and asked her, "What, how can I help?"

Xu Ning took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xiaocao: "Sister Xiaocao, this is what my husband-in-law wrote to brother Zheng about his ink-making skills and the income from selling ink blocks. Sister Xiaocao, you will follow Zheng tomorrow. Come to my house together, brother, and the Prime Minister will explain it to you face to face. If you have any questions, you and Brother Zheng can just ask."

Xu Ning didn't stay long. After obtaining Lin Xiaocao's consent, she left the rice she brought and left.

Lin Xiaocao's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the plump grains of rice. She held the thick letter tightly in her hands, and her heart was in turmoil.

"Xiaocao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Zheng Shaoxuan came back from the fields. He called several times but got no response from Lin Xiaocao, so his five steps turned into two and he stepped forward.

Lin Xiaocao was startled by her husband's cool palms. She raised her eyes to meet Zheng Shaoxuan's worried eyes and smiled brightly: "My lord, you are back. Here, this is the envelope Ning Niang asked me to give to you. "

Zheng Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took the thick letter, and read all the lines at a glance. He was silent for a long time.

Lin Xiaocao couldn't wait for Zheng Shaoxuan's statement for a long time, and her meager fire of hope was extinguished. She did not intend to blame her husband, but forced a smile and said: "Ms. Huo Di and Ning Niang are very kind to us. We can't go too far." greedy."

She knew that her husband had a noble nature and was unwilling to

They took advantage of Huo Yunchao, but their family didn't have a good way to make money.

With the output of just six acres of land, Lin Xiaocao could not afford to pay for her husband's imperial examination. She was very sad that her husband clearly had the opportunity to be an eagle, but because she was too useless, he became a caged bird.
