There was some dirt on his face that had been put there at some point, and if you didn't look closely, he looked a bit like a beggar.

Meiyu knew that the dress didn't look good on her, but even so it was not something they could discuss. Aren't they afraid of offending the third brother?

"Not really, but if you keep talking like this, I'll have to tell my third brother."

The man was also a brave man and didn't fall for it. "Your third brother? The one who received the county token plaque today. I thought you only had your eldest brother."

"When did you become so close to your third brother? Weren't we always at odds before? Didn't you just make peace today?"

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was just a fence-sitter, so of course he couldn't go too far. After all, the third brother was the other person's biological brother. But a little ridicule wouldn't be a big deal.

Meiyu recalled the way those people looked at her and avoided her on the way to her third brother's house today. It was clear that they thought she was in cahoots with her eldest brother. She must contact her third brother more often in the future so that they will never say such things again.

But what they said was right, we did just make peace today, so, I guess we have made peace.

Meiyu simply ignored them and let them say whatever they wanted, because she believed they wouldn't say anything too extreme. She was a big shot now, so there was no need to bother with them.

Others saw Meiyu sitting there with her eyes closed and not responding to the conversation, and they thought it was boring, so the conversation gradually became quieter.

The sky was clear just now, but suddenly it became gloomy.

The crowd was in an uproar again. "I changed into new clothes today, and I put flowers in my hair. I can't stand the water."

Meiyu opened her eyes and saw that everything around her had become dark and the wind had started to blow. Rain was inevitable. She was glad that she had changed into her sister-in-law's old clothes so that her own clothes would not get soaked.

The eldest brother had already gone out with a pile of fabrics and clothes, hurrying to get to town before the cloth shop closed.

I saw a large dark cloud floating over the sky. Oh no, it's not going to rain. That would delay things. If only I had a donkey cart like the third brother's, it would be okay for me to get wet, but the materials must not be wet.

Raindrops as big as soybeans began to fall one by one. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The eldest brother took off his clothes and wrapped himself in the fabric.

I didn't dare to move forward. I held the materials tightly in my arms, bent over, and tried my best to prevent the rain from getting on them.

Glancing around, I finally saw a house not far away where I could take shelter from the rain under the eaves. I ran over immediately, hoping that the rain would stop soon.

The third brother's family was grinding soy milk. Seeing that it was about to rain, they quickly moved the ground soy milk into the house. Sure enough, it started raining after a while.

The third brother frowned as he looked at the donkey and donkey cart outside the house. What if the donkey got sick? That was the newly bought donkey cart, and it was soaked by the rain. Although it was not a big deal, it was still heartbreaking.

Normally, this thatched house could withstand a little rain for a while, but it couldn't withstand the heavy rain today, and soon it had no time to care about the things in the yard.

It started to drizzle in the house. All the basins were not enough. There was a lot of water on the ground and I couldn't step in. I could only hold the basins and scoop out the water one by one.

People in the village can't buy a new pair of shoes for several years, so they treasure the shoes they have. It rains so heavily that there is no way to go out to dig wild vegetables and they can only stay at home.

Nier took off her shoes and put them upside down on the stool. These were her only pair of shoes. If they got wet, they would not be dry and she would not be able to wear them tomorrow.

It is better to work barefoot. When everyone saw Ni'er doing this, they took off their shoes and stood directly in the water. Even if their feet were frozen, they couldn't get their shoes dirty.

After a while, the rain finally stopped. Meiyu came out from the shelter and got on the ox cart again, but the road was very difficult to walk on.

The ground was bumpy and muddy, with splashes of mud not only splashing onto people's clothes but also onto their faces. No one dared to speak.

Meiyu had never felt that she could be in such a good mood on a rainy day, nor had she ever felt that wearing other people's old clothes was a good idea, at least she wouldn't have to dirty her own clothes.

My brother must value those things more than his life. If I take those materials on the road, they might get dirty.

I just laughed at myself for not taking the flower on the person's head in time, and the color fell off and flowed on her face, with patches of red and white. It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

There were also those people who were frantically trying to block the splashing mud and water, afraid of dirtying their new clothes. They looked very funny, but it was a futile effort.

Meiyu breathed in the air mixed with the scent of earth and grass after the heavy rain, and she felt really relaxed both physically and mentally.

The eldest brother finally waited until the rain stopped and the sun came out, then he walked towards the town with the pile of materials, taking one step forward and one step back.

The road was very difficult to walk on, and I was afraid of falling. It wasn't that I was worried about getting injured, but I was afraid that the material would fall to the ground and get dirty, and I wouldn't be able to sell it for a good price. I would want to die then.

It took a lot of effort to get these materials. If I sell them, these materials can save my life. They are very valuable.

The third brother saw the dark clouds in the sky dispersing, so he quickly moved the things he had just collected outside and walked towards the fields.

Widow Li was mixed in the crowd at noon today, and saw the third brother and Ni'er carrying the plaque together, which was really a glorious sight.

The thought in his heart became more firm. Although he didn't understand why Xiao Ni was written on the plaque, the third brother should have a share of this honor after all.

From now on, the third brother will become a person with influence in the village.

Isn't it the right thing to marry someone like this, who not only makes money but also treats his wife well?

I have witnessed it with my own eyes, the third brother's attitude towards Yan Zi at that time, and I still feel a little sour when I think about it now.

The rain had just stopped, and considering his diligence, he should have reached the fields by now.

Generally when it rains, there will be fewer people working outside, which is convenient for you.

Swallow's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the third brother must be feeling very suffocated. This can help him and himself, but it is not good for Swallow.

But since the third child is so popular, there's nothing we can do about it.

I did the laundry very quickly this morning so that I would have time to go home, take a shower, and change into clean clothes.

I also used the hair oil that I bought a long time ago but was reluctant to use, combed my hair carefully, and put a hairpin in it.

The smell is really good, it's worth the three cents I spent on it.

After getting himself ready, he stood by the water tank and looked at it for a while. Feeling very satisfied, he swayed his waist and walked towards the third brother's field.

I was careful to avoid puddles along the way and tried not to let mud splash onto my trouser legs, so I walked in half the time than usual.
