Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Fang's second daughter-in-law shivered and said: "Village, village chief, I didn't mean that. I just think that one hundred cents is a bit too much."

"Our three and a half-year-old boys don't have enough to eat. How can this family get so much money?"

The village chief glared at Fang Er's wife and cursed: "Fang Er, do you want to get money or report to the official?"

"Let me tell you, that prison is a place for cannibalism. If you are destined to go in, you may not be destined to come out. If you want to change your wife, just dig for this little money!"

Before Fang Er could say anything, Fang Er's wife became anxious.

"Village chief, I want to take the silver, a hundred coins, right? I'll go home and get it right away."

After Fang's second daughter-in-law finished speaking, she ran home, fearing that she would be late and Qiaozhen would have to report to the official.

The village chief looked at it and said nothing more.

Soon, Fang's second daughter-in-law came back, holding many copper coins in her hand. She stuffed them directly into Qiaozhen's arms and said, "My niece, I have lost this hundred coins, so don't go and report it to the official."

Qiaozhen took it and counted them one by one. She really didn't believe Fang's second wife.

Fortunately, after counting, it was indeed the number, so she put it away and said coldly: "As long as the second aunt and the second uncle, your family don't come to trouble us in the future, I will not report it to the official."

"No, no, niece, we are all relatives, please don't harm your second uncle and aunt like this." Fang's second wife smiled stiffly and promised hurriedly.

Qiaozhen nodded, looked at the village chief, and said, "Village Chief, in that case, our family won't care about this matter."

Then, Qiaozhen smiled and said to the villagers: "Let's see the joke. Today there are guests at home. Come to my house again someday and treat everyone to dinner."

Upon hearing this, the villagers waved their hands hurriedly and left Fang's family one after another.

The village chief said hello to Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi and left.

When Fang Er's family saw everyone leave, they were afraid that Qiaozhen would go crazy and report to the officials, so they ran away without looking back.

Qiaozhen couldn't help laughing when she saw their somewhat helpless figures running away.

"Yunxi, Jianchuan, thank you very much. If you hadn't just arrived, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so smoothly."

Qiaozhen asked her husband to take the bag of ruined white noodles into the kitchen. She took Gu Yunxi's hand and moved stools for Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan to sit on.

Qiaozhen's father-in-law was also very enthusiastic, but when faced with Lu Jianchuan, he couldn't let go. He walked outside and said to Qiaozhen: "Qiaozhen, I'll go to the village to see if there are any fish and buy one." ”

Qiaozhen said "hmm" and said, "Dad, when you come back, pick some onions and garlic from our field."

Fang Da nodded in agreement and went out with his hands behind his back.

Gu Yunxi knew that the Fang family was going to let him have lunch. When he returned to the Fang family for the first time, he was so warmly welcomed that Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan acquiesced.

"Qiaozhen, here, I bought this for you in the capital." Gu Yunxi smiled and handed over a package. Inside were two pieces of clothes for Qiaozhen.

Qiaozhen looked surprised and said angrily: "Oh, you really brought me something. Isn't it very expensive? How can I be embarrassed by this?"

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Qiaozhen, not only do you have it, I also brought it to my family, and Yunle also has it. It's okay. You can just accept it. It's not expensive."

Qiaozhen murmured a few times, and was filled with joy, so she had no choice but to accept it.

She put away her clothes and pulled Gu Yunxi to talk: "Yunxi, how is the capital city? Is it very prosperous? Is the food and drink expensive?"

Gu Yunxi smiled and told some interesting things about the capital.

"Qiaozhen, in fact, the capital is much more prosperous than our Jihu Town, and life is extremely convenient. If you want anything, you can buy it on the street."

"If there is a chance in the future, you and Fang Zheng will also go to the capital to visit."

The things Gu Yunxi shared made Qiaozhen very envious, and she also longed for the capital.

However, she also knew that given the current situation of her husband's family, wanting to go to the capital was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Qiaozhen smiled and said, "Yunxi, I really envy you, but the capital is far away and it's not that easy to get there."

"Now we have more than ten acres of paddy fields at home. My father-in-law and my husband are both busy. Even I have to work in the fields."

After a pause, Qiaozhen continued: "I have been so busy all day. I heard from my father-in-law that in previous years there was still some surplus food, and at least the family had enough to eat. But on the first day of the twelfth lunar month this year, did you know that not only did it not snow, but It’s raining, and it’s raining heavily!”

Speaking of this, a layer of worry appeared on Qiaozhen's face.

Gu Yunxi was a little puzzled when he heard this and looked at Lu Jianchuan.

Lu Jianchuan knew, and explained: "In previous years, the elders in the village said that if it was windy and rainy on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, there might be less rain in the coming year, or even severe drought."

"On the contrary, if it snows at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the coming year will be a smooth one."

Gu Yunxi was slightly surprised when he heard this. He remembered the saying that "auspicious snow heralds a good harvest". After thinking about it, he should have the same meaning.

She comforted Qiaozhen: "Qiaozhen, this may not be accurate. There is no need to worry too much."

"Besides, I remember there is a reservoir at the end of your village? If the rain is really good next year, water will be diverted from the reservoir to irrigate the fields."

"Divert water down?" Qiaozhen was a little confused. The reservoir at the end of the village is quite far away from the fields in the village. It would take a lot of effort to bring water down, right?

There have been droughts in the past, but people in the village went to carry water instead of diverting water from the reservoir.

Gu Yunxi nodded: "I'm just saying that the method of diverting water is actually simple, but it's just not used yet. Of course, it's best not to use it at all."

Qiaozhen smiled and didn't ask in detail, because there was really no need to divert water now.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan had lunch at Fang's house. They had white flour dumplings with fish and meat, which made Gu Yunxi feel bad. She knew that ordinary farmhouses might not have such good food during the New Year.

Qiaozhen's family brought the best things to entertain them.

Before leaving, Gu Yunxi smiled and told Qiaozhen that someone would give her a New Year gift in a few days, which made Qiaozhen hurriedly shirk her.

"Don't give it away. We don't have anything good to give you at home. This makes me feel embarrassed."

Gu Yunxi just blinked and smiled, said goodbye to Fang Da, Fang Zheng and Qiaozhen one by one, got on the carriage and left.

The drive was quick, and it took half a stick of incense to return to Xijiang Village.

When she returned, it was Shenshi time. Gu Yunxi had been running around outside for most of the day. She was a little tired, but she was still very happy to see the two best sisters.
