The scent of osmanthus is so overbearing that even if the tree is far away from her window, she can still smell it.

Yan Xia remembered the popular sugar water in modern times.

So she told Xiaoji to get some sweet-scented osmanthus, and when she had nothing to do at noon, she made it for afternoon tea.

"I know, Auntie, how much do you want, a bowl or half a bowl?" Xiao Ji gently combed Yan Xia's hair and asked.

"If not so much, just half a bowl will be enough. The sweet-scented osmanthus is just for garnishing the flavor. The rest should be left on the tree to spread the fragrance." Yan Xia replied to her.

"Yes, I understand." When Xiaoji finished speaking, the hair in his hands was combed.

She chose a relatively simple hosta and inserted it into it for Yan Xia.

Paired with a plain gauze coat, it looks very comfortable and gives a feeling of tranquility over time.

"Okay, I'm going to have breakfast."

Yan Xia stood up from the stool and walked to the courtyard to have breakfast. There was only a bowl of porridge and three side dishes on the round table, including spicy and sour diced cucumbers, eggs with green bean sauce and cold purslane.

The porridge is warm but not hot, and is boiled to a paste. You don't even need to chew it. You can take a sip of the porridge and eat it with a chopstick and a side dish, and you will feel completely refreshed.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied with today's breakfast." Yan Xia praised Xiao Su who was standing by and waiting.

"Master, today's breakfast was specially ordered by Sister Xiaoji. She said that Master, you drank wine yesterday and should not eat meat and fish, so she asked the slaves to prepare something light." Xiao Su did not take credit.

"Well, that's good. I've finished eating. You can take it." Yan Xia smiled and nodded, not sure whether he was satisfied with Xiao Ji or Xiao Su's honesty.

She had breakfast and went to Sanjin Courtyard to see her granddaughter.

At this moment, Wang Shufang came out of a house in Aozui Village, far away from Jiangnan County. She looked radiant.

As soon as he closed the door, he bumped into Niu Fukang, who was about to go out with a hoe.

This man was Niu Huahua's biological father, and it was Deng Quzhi who arranged for him to take care of Wang Shufang.

"Fang'er, what are you, what are you..." Niu Fukang saw Wang Shufang, who was supposed to be sleeping in his own house, coming out of his brother's house. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

"Oh, do you even care about who I sleep with? Do you really think of yourself as my brother? I won't go to the fields anymore. If there is any work, I will find Fuchun. From now on, all my work will be done by Fuchun. he comes."

Wang Shufang's whole person changed drastically.

She became darker and thinner, and her hands, which were originally white and tender, had calluses.

Deng Qiuzhi said before leaving that she must be allowed to work.

Therefore, Niu Fukang would take Wang Shufang to the fields every day. If she did not go, she would not be given food.

After being hungry for two days, Wang Shufang had no choice but to compromise.

The work in the fields was tiring and boring, and the weather was hot and sunny. She worked for more than a month, and finally collapsed. She wanted to escape, but failed again and again, which made Niu Fukang ask her youngest daughter Niu Xiaomei to sleep with her. , to monitor her.

Wang Shufang, who felt that she would never be able to leave Aozui Village for the rest of her life, was completely ruined. She couldn't stand Niu Fuchun's deliberate attempts to please him and followed him.

Last night, Niu Fuchun gave Niu Xiaomei a candy and took Wang Shufang back to his house.

And his daughter-in-law, Lan, was driven to the woodshed to sleep.

Lan had a cowardly temperament and had only given birth to four daughters in so many years of marriage. Niu Fuchun beat and scolded her at every turn, but she had no choice but to endure it. After all, her family members were all dead. If she was divorced, she would not even have a chance to survive. .

"Brother, I'll do Shufang's work, but I was too tired last night. You let me rest for a day. Damn it, you go and go to the ground with brother, and I'll take a nap in the cage."

Niu Fuchun didn't even put on his trousers, so he opened the door carelessly, stuck his head in and said to Niu Fukang and Lan.

"Hey, I got it, I'll go right away." Lan's back is a little bent, and she likes to lower her head, so she looks like an elderly woman.

Niu Fuchun didn't even want to look at her.

"What is this? If Mr. Deng comes suddenly, how do you want me to explain to him? Are you so worthy of your siblings?"

Niu Fukang was so angry that his eyes were red.

"Brother, what's the point of being angry when you're already asleep? It's been a month. If Mr. Deng had come earlier, he would have forgotten Shufang long ago. It just so happens that the Lan family is useless and can't give birth to a son. , I asked Shufang to give birth to me, what’s wrong with that? Don’t you want me to keep a queen? Anyway, just don’t let her leave Aozui Village. Don’t let Shufang work in the future. I feel very distressed. By the way, Shufang will do it in the future. Just live with me, you pack her things and bring them to my house, Shufang, don’t leave, come in, and let’s sleep in the cage again.”

Niu Fuchun smiled lustfully.

He grabbed Wang Shufang's wrist and pulled her in.

"boom--"

The wooden door was closed heavily, and the laughter of men and women came from inside. The veins in Niu Fukang's forehead twitched when he heard it.

But he only has one younger brother, what can he do?

"Sister-in-law, hey, don't go to the ground. Your body is suffering from the disease due to childbirth. You can stay at home and I'll ask your sister-in-law to talk to you."

After saying that, Niu Fukang didn't dare to look at her eyes and ran away.

There are no elders in the Niu family, and the eldest brother is like his father. His biological brother is such a beast. In the final analysis, it is because he did not discipline him well.

Niu Fukang's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

"Fengping, please stop going to the fields and talk to your siblings. You two go to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables. Stay away. It's best to come back at noon. Let Xiaomei do the cooking. Shun'an and I are enough to do the work in the fields. "

Although he forced Wang Shufang to go to the fields every day, there wasn't much work in the fields at all. It was just watering, weeding, etc. When Wang Shufang was lazy, he just pretended that he couldn't see her.

But he didn't expect that Wang Shufang would hook up with his brother because he didn't want to work in the fields.

"Hey." Niu Fukang sighed.

The whole person was in despair.

"What's wrong, boss? What happened?" Xia Fengping asked doubtfully.

"I can't tell you. You should ask your younger siblings. Remember, don't let her stay at home. Go dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain further away."

Niu Fukang waved his hand, took the hoe and left with his eldest son.

Xia Fengping was impatient. Seeing that Niu Fukang refused to talk, she quickly went to find Lan with a bamboo basket and shovel.

"Brother and sister, younger brother and sister——"

After taking just two steps, she started shouting.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Lan came out of the kitchen and looked at her.

The two houses are close to each other.

After all, there is no separation of households. In addition to eating, the land is also planted together.

"Come on, let's dig wild vegetables. I have something to ask you." Xia Fengping pulled Lan and left. As sisters-in-law, after spending so many years together, she had a good grasp of Lan's temperament. She would never refuse people, and she was also chronic. Still not talkative.

Because she was too curious, she walked quickly, and she didn't let go of Lan's hand until she couldn't see the house and asked her.
