The truth finally came out. The grievances and grievances of the Sang and Liu families quickly spread to every corner of Lijia Village under the publicity of the troublemakers. People finally knew that the various rumors about the Sang family were carefully calculated by the Liu family, and Sang Ye was also innocent and innocent without any rumors.
The families who had not believed in rumors were silently happy that the Sang family had finally regained their precarious reputation. Some people who were also dissatisfied with their own eyes and did not want the Sang family to get better and better were disappointed. They failed to see the Liu family completely pull the Sang family into the quagmire.
This time, the game between the Sang and Liu families was unlucky because of the Liu family, especially the position of Chen in the Liu family was shaken. Her strangeness in the Sang family first aroused the suspicion of everyone in the Liu family, especially the old man Liu and Liu Laosan, who were beaten and were still empty, were extremely dissatisfied. They showed their leaking teeth and asked Chen hysterically about the reasons for the changes before and after.
Chen took great pains to come up with a seemingly reasonable reason. After she finally comforted the father and son, she had to fulfill the conditions for asking Liu Laosan to marry Sun Mei in Zhaogang Village under the "reminder".
Liu Laosan would not marry a woman with only stains on her body. Even if that woman's reputation was rumored to be a beauty, it would be okay to treat it as a utter artifact. How could Liu Laosan marry her home as a woman?
But no matter how he cried and made a fuss, he would always follow his Chen family and firmly invite the matchmaker to Sun Mei’s house to say he’s kiss.
Sun Mei had already heard the words of matchmaker Fang, so there was no reason for it? So the two families hurriedly passed the ceremony before the autumn harvest. For a moment, this marriage that shocked people's eyes was rumored and the spectators watched the Liu family's jokes.
However, the matter was not completely settled here. Chen did a series of disgusting things, which made the rumors spread everywhere in just a short period of time. In addition to their own spreading, there was also someone who was also inseparable from the troubled waters.
The fishing man was not someone else, but he was also planning to plot against Sang Ye, Li Baogui, Brother Qiang and others from the Sang family. After the Chen family's actions were revealed, these people secretly added fuel to the fire with the same thoughts as the Liu family.
But when something happened to Brother Qiang, he didn't have time to take the last step, otherwise it would be Chen and others who came to the Sang family to propose marriage first.
Sang Ye didn't want to let Li Baogui, Brother Qiang and others go, but if these people don't show up, she will find an opportunity to teach them a lesson. If they force themselves to come to their rogue attributes, they will easily be bitten back and misunderstood, so they have to give up and wait for the opportunity temporarily.
No matter how outsiders talk about it, the Sang family's days are as calm and fulfilling as usual, and a busy autumn harvest is ushered in a constant topic.
This year, the weather was good, and the crops in the fields were growing well, which was a happy harvest year for everyone. The Sang family had more fields than other families. In previous years, the autumn harvest had to be busy for nearly a month. After the autumn harvest was over, the people were thin and they lost their shape.
It’s different now. With the big yellow cow at home, it’s a good helper, and many of the hard work can be handed over to the big yellow cow, such as pulling a cart, chasing rice farms and milling mills, there is no problem for the big yellow cow who can eat enough.
When the villagers who worked in the fields saw him, they were all very envious. Some people were so tired that they could not bear it. They saved up all the work they needed to work hard and ran to the Sang family to rent a cattle in the evening with copper coins.
The Sang family does not need a few cents of rent, and they do not want the big yellow cow to be too tired. They all politely refuse. If they cannot refuse, they will charge a few cents symbolically. At most, they will lend the cow for half a day, as long as they must serve the cow well, and they cannot be hungry or thirsty.
After the rice in the field was recovered and then spread and dried and rolled it with stone crock, the rice field of the Sang family was soon covered with yellow millet, which looked particularly gratifying.
Mulberry leaves are not good at farm work, but they use rakes to turn the millet on the rice field every day, but they do it smoothly. They rake the millet back and forth, so that the millet can be thoroughly dried under the scorching sun. Before they can grind the rice, they can smell the sweet rice fragrance.
As long as the weather is clear and there is no rainy weather, the millet will be thoroughly dried for up to two days.
When the millet was dried and put into sacks, Mang Ye suggested to Mu, "Mom, our family is not short of silver. After paying the tax grain, keep the remaining grain for yourself!
!”
Mu was counting sacks silently, estimating how much food you could harvest in this autumn and how much money you could sell after paying the tax. When he heard his daughter's words, he subconsciously opposed it: "What can you do? How can the farmer eat all the food he planted?"
After hearing this, Mang Ye was amused and crying: "Mom, it's because they don't have enough new grain to eat, so they sell the new grain for cheap old grain or coarse grains. Our family is not short of money for the time being. It's not impossible to keep these grains. If you can't make money, it's still not a single change like before, right? So what's the point of making flower sauce that our family works hard to make? "
"You kid, there are many places to spend money at home. Not to mention that you have to spend a lot of money on gardens and workshops. We can save as much as we can. When the life really comes, you will have no objection to eating meat every meal." Mu looked at Sang Ye and was unmoved.
Sang Ye was helpless and knew in her heart that the consumption concepts of mother and daughter were different, which led to disagreement in this matter. Just when she thought about continuing to eat coarse grains that sucked her throat, she felt that her throat began to itch and uncomfortable again.
The mulberry leaves, which she had not agreed to, refused to give up. After dinner at night, she was enjoying the cool air in the yard, she told her father about leaving food and counted several of the benefits of leaving new food.
As a result, before Mang Ye finished speaking, Mang Shu and Mang Lin immediately became lobbyists and helped her sister convince her father.
In this regard, Sang Hushi obviously has more communication than Mu. Before his brother and sister could say a few words, he nodded and agreed: "Then stay, the food we have worked hard to grow is unreasonable and I can't eat it in one bite."
Mu, who had just returned to the house to drink tea, happened to hear it. In the darkness, he glared at his wife, and thought that the other party couldn't see it, and said in a voice: "It's enough for new and old grains to fill your stomach. How can you pay attention to these things?"
Hearing that his wife was not very happy, Sang said calmly: "The children like to eat, that's because they have some considerations. Our family is not short of money for the time being. If they really lack money one day, there will be less than two thousand kilograms of grain left after paying the tax, and even if it can be worth a few taels of silver, it will not work."
When collecting the grain, Mu was moved by a reason for Mangye. Now even her husband and son and daughter-in-law agreed not to sell food. Even if she was reluctant to love her children, she still had the upper hand. In the end, she had to agree helplessly: "Okay, okay, do whatever you want, I, the old woman, don't care!"
Knowing that my mother is not happy at this moment, as the "culprit" who makes her unhappy, Sang Ye quickly coaxed people: "Mom, life is always going forward. If we eat new food every meal, we won't want to go back and eat old food. For this, we can only work hard to earn money, right? With such encouragement, our family's life will definitely get better and better, don't you?"
After hearing this, Mu laughed "puchi" and said angrily: "Yes, yes, what you said are all the wrong reasons, and I can't tell you."
Sang Ye smiled. The words she said had a certain basis. Where is the fallacy? But just the fallacy is just the fallacy, just be happy with your mother!
The matter of not selling new grain from Sang family was left to eat by himself, so he decided to make a decision. After paying the tax, someone asked the Sang family to go to the town to buy grain. After learning that the Sang family was not selling all the grain from Sang family, this matter became a new topic of discussion for the villagers in the village after dinner.
Of course, these are later things. The various rumors in the Sang family have never stopped. The Sang family members have long taken it lightly. They know very well that only by living a good life is real, and there is no need to care too much about the opinions of people around them.
When the work in his field was almost done, Sang Hushi beat Sang Shu and Yu and his wife to help Lao Gen’s house.
The injuries on Li Zhuang's legs were recovering slowly, and there was a big hole in his mind. The Li family had to be careful and careful. Even if Li Zhuang's bones were already healed and the wounds were scarred, he would not let him leave the clinic, for fear that he would not touch the injured leg carefully, which would cause the bones that had finally been attached to them to be displaced, and then they would suffer from disability.
Now that there are two labor shortages, the three daughters and son-in-law of the Li family are also busy with their own autumn harvest, and there is only one pregnant woman and Aunt Lao Gen who is unable to use her strength.
The Sang family could not watch the Li family’s grain rotting in the fields, so they offered to help, and even the yellow cow moved over.
Never thought,
The family thought of the difficulties of the Li family, and the other person also thought of them.
When the mulberry tree Yu and his wife came to Lao Gen’s rice fields with sickles, they saw that the rice in the field had been folded down for half. A young man in the middle of the rice fields was bent over and waving his arms quickly, harvesting the rice neatly.
Zheng Lin was also surprised to see the Sangshu Yu couple, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Thank you for your help. After the work is over, it's time for cousin and the others to come back. I'll thank you later."
Mangshu waved his hand and said carelessly: "It's so normal for the villagers to do a favor. What's the point of thanking me?"
Zheng Lin met the mulberry tree several times and knew that he was a straightforward and happy person. He heard this and did not say thank you anymore. He just reminded him: "I didn't have time to release water in the field before, and the leeches in the mud were very popular. You should put down your trouser legs to avoid being bitten."
As he said that, he rolled up his trouser legs and showed that the couple had been bitten by leeches when they didn't put them off, and his calves were still bleeding.
There are especially many leeches in rice fields with water. If you don’t clean the water in the field before the autumn harvest and let the fields dry up first, it is common to bite three or four leeches on one leg during harvest. The leeches’ soft body will feel disgusting, and the body of the leeches that are full of blood will expand several times, which will make people unable to eat.
No one likes leeches, and his scalp will become numb when he sees it. Looking at the 7 or 8 bleeding places on Zheng Lin's legs, Yu shivered and felt that his legs were hurt.
He hurriedly put the rolled trouser legs down, and mulberry trees asked while putting them down, "Brother Zheng, why didn't you put down your trouser legs earlier?"
Zheng Lin smiled and put down his trouser legs again: "This is the first time I went to the ground to harvest rice. I never thought that there was this thing in the mud, so I was bitten without any precaution."
After hearing this, Yu Shi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but widen her eyes: "The first time I cut rice? I see Brother Zheng's attitude of working, it doesn't look like it at all!"
Is it the same thing that people do farm work, and do you need to pay attention to the talent?
Zheng Lin didn't know what Yu was thinking and explained with a smile: "I have never cut rice in the past, but I have cut a lot of wheat, so I am so skilled."
After hearing this, Mangshu praised without hesitation: "You can do the same for two! That's good. Uncle Lao Gen's house doesn't have many rice fields, so the three of us can clean it up in two days."
Zheng Lin nodded, said nothing, and bent down to continue cutting the rice.
The three of them could chat while working. Although Zheng Lin was not a talkative person, he had a lot of experience than ordinary people in recent years. He could take care of any of the words mentioned by the Sangshu Yu couple, and his attitude was very humble, which made people unable to find any mistakes, which greatly increased the couple's favor.
They were all smart. Before noon, the largest rice field in the Li family was harvested by the three of them. They refused Aunt Li's invitation. After saying goodbye to Zheng Lin, the couple returned to their home for lunch.
While eating, Mangshu said to his family with sighs: "Brother Zheng is such a kind person. His relationship with Uncle Lao Gen's family is almost as far away as the sky. He has not forgotten to come to the door to help. Such people are becoming less and less common."
Yu also praised: "No, Brother Zheng is very capable, and he is a good at making money. Before, I thought he was picky and unwilling to find a girl to start a family when he was old. Now it seems that he is picky and has no worries about not being able to find a good wife."
Mu had never met Zheng Lin, but he heard her husband and children mention such a person more than once. Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law, who rarely praised others, was praised, and couldn't help asking: "Is the person you are talking about so good?"
Mangshu Yu nodded in unison and said at the same time: "Mom, you will know that you have seen it with your own eyes, and you will definitely feel this way."
After getting the affirmative answer, Mu's eyes fell on the eldest daughter who was burying her head in her meal, and her face kept changing as if she was thinking about something difficult to solve.
Sang Laoshi, who had been listening attentively, was the first to notice his wife's thoughts. The thoughts that emerged on the way back from the county town began to float again.
He leaned into his wife's ear and whispered: "I had this idea before, but Sanya
I didn’t have the idea of remarrying, and then I had those messy things, so I didn’t mention them to you.”
Upon hearing this, Mu glared at the old man fiercely: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" But he felt confident.
The old man has a good look at people. She didn't like the eldest daughter-in-law and the young son-in-law at the beginning. It was the old man who insisted that the eldest daughter-in-law came in and married the young daughter to the Huang family. Facts have proved that the old man is right. Even if the person who can make him affirm is not as good as the sky, he is much better than ordinary people.
Sang looked at the daughter opposite him honestly, wanted to say something to his wife, but was worried that his daughter would hear it, so he just sighed softly, intending to tell his wife privately after the meal.
Seeing that her husband winked at her, Mu was so smart that he didn't ask much. After squeezing the food in the bowl, she hurriedly pulled the person to the room, leaving behind her confused children.
Confirm that there was no one at the door, Sang honestly turned his head and said to his wife worriedly: "You heard it at the dinner table just now. The boy from the Zheng family has a high vision. Many matchmakers came to the house before but there was no result. Our daughter is good, but she has married and given birth to children... Besides, Sanyaer himself is unwilling to marry again. Even if I said it before, it would be useless."
Mu couldn't listen to this the most. Her daughter said she would still be able to follow her if she didn't want to marry again, and her husband couldn't say that she said she didn't want to marry again. Maybe she would like to look at the boy from the Zheng family?"
Sang Hushi didn't have this optimism. After thinking about it, he said to his wife: "My daughter has met the Zheng boy twice. It's hard to say whether the Zheng boy has any ideas. You can talk to your daughter in private first, and I'll talk to the Zheng boy when I have the opportunity."
Mu's eyes rolled and he immediately said, "That's it!"
The couple decided to make a decision and decided that their daughter would not notice it, and finally went to a rest of the afternoon with satisfaction.
The next day, Mang Shu and Yu, who had breakfast, went to Lao Gen's house to work. About an hour later, Mu cooked a large pot of mung bean soup, fell into the well and cooled, and asked Mang Ye to give some heat relief to his brother and sister-in-law.
Mangye didn't think much about it, and immediately poured the mung bean soup into a jar and took two clean bowls to set aside.
"Ye'er, take another bowl and let the boy of the Zheng family try his mother's skills." Mu explained with a smile, then took out a bowl from the cabinet and put it in the bamboo basket wrapped in mulberry leaves.
Sang Ye suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Luckily my mother reminded me early, otherwise I would have forgotten that there was someone in the field." My brother and sister-in-law couldn't drink the cold mung bean soup to make people stand aside and cool. It was embarrassing to think about it.
"Go quickly, so that the soup won't heat up again."
Mu urged his daughter and sighed secretly as he looked at her daughter's back.
This girl sometimes surprised her in dealing with people and things, but she was so worried about getting married again.
I hope she can also see the good things of the Zheng family boy this time, otherwise it would be in vain that she spent more than an hour cooking mung bean soup herself.
Sang Ye, who had already walked away, did not know her mother's little plot. She followed the direction she pointed at her mother and walked towards the Li family's rice fields. Not long after, she saw the busy figure of her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Not far from her elder brother and sister-in-law, she also saw another helper, but she didn't know if it was an illusion. When she looked over, the other party seemed to be just looking up and looked in the direction she was.
