Everyone who originally wanted to take advantage of Chen's words felt secretly dissatisfied, but in the end they were too embarrassed to express their intentions directly, so their enthusiasm was reduced by half.

The enthusiastic people kept gossiping and began to inquire about the benefits Zhou Qing got from going to the Yamen.

"What's the benefit? We have food and accommodation in the Yamen, which is enough to save food for the family." Mrs. Chen put aside the money and continued: "The county magistrate gave me five acres of land in gratitude for the Quyuan plow given by my fourth son.

It is said that it is recorded in the name of the fourth daughter-in-law, so it should be regarded as her dowry!"

When the villagers heard this, they immediately exploded.

"Oh my god, there are five acres of land,"

"I don't know if it is dry land or paddy field. If it is paddy field, it would cost more than ten taels per mu. Five acres would be dozens of taels!"

"Even dry land is not cheap. In our village, there are several daughters-in-law who own five acres of land!"

The more everyone talked, the more upset they became.

Zhou Rong is the only scholar in the village. Although he is not very outstanding, he is still different from the people in the village.

Many people in the village were envious and felt that the Zhou family's efforts were in vain, thinking that it would be more difficult to produce a scholar from a farm than to reach heaven.

But no matter what, everyone was afraid that Zhou Rong would really pass the exam, so they were somewhat polite to the anniversary.

After knowing that the Xi family had tricked Zhou Rong into killing Zhou Rong and that their career path would be lost, many people felt that that was the right thing to do.

The Zhou family, which had been proud of the village for so many years, was finally coming down. Especially when they knew that Xi Yao came in with nothing, they were waiting to see a joke.

But it hasn't been two days since Xi Yao's dowry became the first in the village. Who can still laugh?

"I don't know if it's paddy fields or dry fields, but we have a lot of family members, so it doesn't matter what kind of fields it is. We'll find out when someone comes from the Yamen today," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

She sees everyone's emotions.

People wanted to laugh at her, but she was slapped in the face.

This forced her to bluster and let others know that her family was not that easy to bully.

"Obviously, the people in the village could use the curved plow first, but ended up using it in exchange for land. Mrs. Chen, your daughter-in-law really doesn't think about the village at all!" Some people were so jealous that they couldn't help but start to sow discord.

These words made Mrs. Chen unhappy.

"Yu Xianghua, you must have been in our Zhoujia Village for decades. For the sake of the village, why don't you give up your house and land? Many people in the village still live in thatched houses," Chen said continuously

The person shouted, following her words and asking questions.

"That's different," Yu Xianghua retorted, stomping her feet and holding her neck.

"What's the difference? For the sake of the village, one of you will free up five acres of land for my fourth son!" She protects her shortcomings and does not allow anyone to ruin the reputation of her daughter-in-law.

"Forget it, stop arguing. When Zhou Qing starts making it and the price is right, we can go and buy it," someone advised Yu Xianghua, who felt that what she said was a bit too much.

Yu Xianghua became angry with embarrassment, "That's nice to say, you want something for free, but you make it seem like I'm the only one who cares about you!"

These words stirred up a hornet's nest and made everyone in the village want to distance themselves from her.

"Who is like you, always thinking about taking advantage," someone retorted angrily, and then didn't bother to answer her.

Yu Xianghua was suddenly isolated by everyone.

Mrs. Chen looked at it, feeling relieved, and then called to her family, "Let's go, let's go to work."
