Mrs. Shiyu Cui waved her hands indifferently, "Why are you so presumptuous? Go play with your new daughter if you have the power, I won't serve you anymore! It's you, take care of your daughter at home, let me know if she talks nonsense again, I will Tell me all over the capital when we made peace with each other. I am now free and have received my dowry. I will not abide by the agreement. What can you do to me?"
She gave Jiao a deep look at the end and accepted it. A look of triumphant laughter.
"Don't think that I will come back to fight for this embroidered straw bag with you! It's just my leftovers. If you want it, take it! After all, leftovers and dogs will last forever!"
After saying that, she turned around and laughed loudly. The government has gone.
All the slaves in the yard lowered their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in. They didn't dare to look at the faces of the Marquis and his wife.
On the contrary, Mr. Liu who was waiting outside the door smiled and cheered, "Okay, she is the daughter of the Cui family after all, and her reputation as a great scholar has not diminished!"
Mr. Wen's status was not easy to stand out, so he had been silent just now.
At this moment, he stood at the foot of the steps, looking up at the junior sister who had washed away her bad luck and regained her glory. His heart was beating even more wildly than when he was young.
After all, Mr. Liu was old and a little tired. He called Mrs. Cui to come forward and said, "We are going back now. You can discuss the remaining trivial matters with your sworn brother. As a woman, it is still not easy for you to come forward to make things happen." , ask him to work harder for you and stop being outsiders."
"Okay, uncle, I won't be polite. Now the only one I can rely on is our family. How can I be polite to my uncle and step-brother?"
Mrs. Cui agreed immediately. , did not refuse at all, which actually made Mr. Liu even happier.
The child couldn't think about it before. Even after his father passed away, he didn't go around their family much for fear that the Fu family would be too worried. Now that he has completely taken off his shackles, he feels much more free and easy.
Mrs. Cui bowed and thanked the other two old men, and the two old men were also pleased.
"We were in trouble back then, thanks to your father's outspokenness and many efforts. It's a pity that he passed away too early. Now that we can do our best for his daughter, it can be regarded as comforting his soul in heaven."
Soon, the old men all got on the carriage, and Liu Zhiheng also stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I need to take people to take back your farm and shop as soon as possible. If it's too late, be careful that the Marquis will do something. Go back and sort out your dowry. If you have anything to do, just ask someone to go there." Look for me."
Mrs. Cui thanked her, "Thank you, my sworn brother, for running for me. When the matter is over, I will thank you."
"My family, you are welcome." Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, turned to Mr. Wen and asked, " Junior Brother Wen, do you still want to go back to the court?"
Mr. Wen nodded, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Liu, for your concern. I will report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs soon. I don't want to be in the Hanlin Academy this time, I want to fill the gap. I used to regard power as dirt. Now I know that power is also the armor that protects the family."
"Okay, okay, it should have been like this a long time ago. If I had the talent and learning of my junior brother, I wouldn't be wallowing in general affairs all day long. Junior brother, I can go find work, my adopted sister Leave it to me here." Liu Zhiheng was worried and sent them to Mrs. Cui's dowry yard before leaving in a hurry.
Mrs. Cui was worried about the Li family and others, so she gave Mr. Wen some silver and asked him to go shopping. She planned to go to Broken Gold Beach tomorrow.
Mr. Wen also knew what the Li family and the villagers were most lacking right now, so he hurriedly bought food, farm tools and some daily necessities.
Thinking of the little fat girl Jiayin, I bought a lot of eggs, snacks, sesame candies, etc.
Besides, over at Ruijintan, the whole village, young and old, are putting all their efforts into the construction of new homes.
In two days, the latrines were built and a dozen more straw huts were built, one for each family.
They were about to go up the mountain to open up wasteland, but they didn't have any farm tools, which made everyone worried.
After lunch, everyone discussed going to a nearby village to see if they could rent or buy it back.
But no one has much confidence because the nearby villages are too wary of them.
It is not easy for the women to go in and exchange for carrots and cabbage. What's more, spring plowing is about to start, and when everyone uses farm tools, how can they lend them out?
If you buy it, I'm afraid those people will also want to open your mouth and be ripped off a lot of money.
Jiayin sat in her father's arms, listening to everyone's discussion. She also frowned, her mind wandering in space, and she was also worried.
She has been busy planting apple trees these past two nights. The nursery, which is less than 50 square meters, is now full of finger-thick saplings. There are more than a thousand saplings. I think they will have to be moved in another five or six days. Planted out.
In the front yard, all kinds of picks, hoes, plows, sticks, etc. collected from various houses before fleeing the famine have been sorted out and piled up in half of the yard.
As long as you take it out, everyone won't have to worry.
But how to take it out? This is a big problem!
The villagers are not stupid. If they pick up a bunch of new farm tools on the roadside, they can imagine who accidentally dropped them.
But I picked up a pickaxe and hoe that I had used in Qingshui Village on the side of the road. This was surprising!
I was afraid that no one would dare to use it, and I also suspected that they were being followed by something inexplicable.
At this moment, the teenagers playing at the entrance of the valley suddenly cheered, and Jiaxi Jiaan flew over to report the news.
"Mr. Wen and the others are back with the carriage!"
Everyone was surprised and quickly got up to greet them.
Mr. Wen jumped off the carriage, helped Mrs. Cui out, and then smiled and said, "The village has not started to open up wasteland yet? We bought a lot of farm tools in the city. You can see if they are used."
The villagers were so surprised that they almost jumped up . , flocked to the two carriages behind.
Mrs. Cui hugged Jiayin, kissed her little face, touched the back of her head, and said with a smile, "Fu Niu's injury is much better."
Jiayin hugged her neck and made a coquettish sound, "Fu Niu wants to Thank you, Senior Aunt. Thank you for your hard work, Senior Aunt."
Mrs. Cui didn't know why, but her heart suddenly felt a little sour, and she almost shed tears.
It was like a child who had been wronged outside met her family, but she was clearly holding a one-year-old girl in her arms.
She tried her best to swallow her tears and replied with a choked voice, "It's not hard work, Senior Aunt wins."
"Senior Aunt is the best!" Jiayin gave her a big kiss on the face, making Mrs. Cui laugh again with tears in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Li was still injured and walked slowly. She was surprised when she stepped forward, "What's going on, Jinrou? Fu Niu made you angry?"
"No, Auntie, I miss Fu so much. Fu Niu." Mrs. Cui quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Aunt, I brought some eggs and snacks. You can put them away later, and then take Fu Niu with you to eat and replenish your body."
Mrs. Li also said Without being polite, he helped her shoulder and walked inside.
"Okay, then Auntie won't be polite to you anymore. When our village is built in the future, Auntie will raise chickens, and you will come to live at home, and we will make delicious food every day."
On the other side, the young and old in the village gathered around the carriage and were pouring pickaxes down . Hoes, etc. are really more lively than the Chinese New Year.
The women also happily cooked the meat and vegetables brought by Mrs. Cui, and cooked a big pot of white rice.
Everyone in the whole village was smiling happily after eating it.
The village chief thanked Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, "I have spent a lot of money on you. Please don't buy any more in the future. Now that we have a place to stay in the village, we can eat well and eat from the soil by ourselves."
Mrs. Cui thought for a while . , and said, "Uncle Village Chief, we came here this time for this very reason. This gravel beach is really not a good place. It would be too laborious for the village to open up wasteland. I have two farms, right here There is a shortage of manpower to take care of the southwest of Xindu. Everyone can move there. There is a ready-made yard in the village, and I don't want the harvest from the fields. You can live in peace."
