Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cui quickly changed the topic and asked about other trivial matters in the village.

They ate and talked here happily, but the Zhuangzi of the Jiao family next door was not so lively.

When they married their daughter to the Hou's Mansion, the Jiao family bought one next to the Hou's Mansion at a high price for the convenience of moving around in the future.

Now, Mrs. Cui begged Zhuangzi from the Hou Mansion to go back, and the Jiao family didn't like it.

Especially in the past few days, Cuijiazhuangzi dumped things and registered them in the warehouse, and the people left by the Hou Mansion earlier secretly came to deliver letters from time to time.

Thinking of the stored food in the warehouse, Jiao's whole body ached from hatred.

Right now, she is sitting in the yard, listening to her old lady scolding.

"You are so easy to bully, but you are just a second-cousin wife. What are you afraid of her? She gave her the dowry, but Zhuangzi was robbed. We don't have enough food in our family, and we want to take some from you." Well, now it’s good, there’s no hope.”

Jiao gritted her teeth angrily, and argued with her mother in a low voice, "Is it my fault for the lack of food at home? Who told you to sell all the stored food? The emperor moved the capital, and everyone gathered here. Food is so precious, don't you know?"

"Of course I know, that's why I sold it!" Mrs. Jiao responded confidently, "I had hoped for you, but I didn't expect you to be so useless."

Jiao was so angry that she got up and wanted to leave. She shouldn't have come back to her natal family.

Originally, the Hou Mansion had no supplies from Zhuangzi, and she wanted to go back to her mother's house to get some, but she couldn't get the things, so she was pissed off by her mother.

At this time, a woman suddenly ran in to report.

"Ma'am, there is a great news! The next-door wife from Zhuangzi next door actually carried a child back outside, and was standing at the door chatting and laughing with the elder of the Liu family."

"What?" Before Mrs. Jiao could be happy, Mrs. Jiao had already stood up in surprise, "This child might be a bastard she gave birth to outside! No wonder she made peace with Master Hou when she went to the south of the Yangtze River. It turned out that it was outside There are people."

Mrs. Jiao was also very happy, but she still knew to be cautious, so she quickly changed into a set of coarse cloth dress of an ordinary woman, and then sneaked to visit the Zhuangzi next door.

Jiayin didn't know that she came out to play and caused trouble for Mrs. Cui. Now she was full and hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and walked out.

Liu Zhiheng asked someone to prepare a basket of eggs, two boxes of soft and easy to digest snacks, and two pieces of soft cotton cloth, put them in the carriage together, and told his sister-in-law.

"I gave this to the little girl, it's not yours!"

Mrs. Cui laughed when she heard that, "I see, brother Yi likes his daughter so much, so hurry up and have another one with sister-in-law."

Liu Zhiheng stared, "It's not your fault, you found me a lot of work, and I haven't seen your sister-in-law for three days."

Mrs. Cui hurriedly made amends, "I will return from the gravel beach tomorrow, so I will leave this place to me. Brother Yi hurried back to accompany his sister-in-law."

"Forget it, Zhuangzi is in your hands, I'm afraid it will be ruined in two days. After I clear it up, I will find you two reliable stewards."

Liu Zhiheng waved his hands, showing his dislike for his righteous sister clearly on his face.

In the end, he shook Jiayin's chubby hand, "Fu Niu, come and play next time, uncle will prepare something delicious for you."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Jiayin nodded with a smile, and Liu Zhiheng was surprised by her cute appearance.

Soon, the small convoy set off.In the front carriage was Mrs. Cui holding the good news, and there was a carriage and a mule cart behind, pulling an old fruit farmer, a cart of coarse grains and a cart of fine seeds.

When Jiayin didn't come out, I was looking forward to it, but after only half a day away, I began to miss my parents and grandma, and I was excitedly looking forward to returning home soon.

Mrs. Cui didn't restrain her either, and let her play.But Jiayin was tired from playing and fell asleep in her arms.

Mrs. Cui gently patted the fat baby in her arms, and suddenly became greedy. If she got married again and gave birth to such a daughter or son, wouldn't she be very happy?

Thinking of this, she was also sleepy, and slowly fell asleep with Jiayin in her arms.

They didn't know at all that someone had consciously caught it, and was almost insane with joy...

On the other side of the gravel beach, the Li family also unconsciously looked forward to it, no matter what they were busy with, they couldn't help but stare at the intersection.

On weekdays, the good news is at home, and everyone is either carrying or hugging, and they are used to it.

Suddenly the child was not around, everyone felt empty, couldn't eat lunch, and always felt that a lot of things were missing.

Finally looking forward to the return of Madam Cui's carriage, all the young and old of the Li family rushed to embrace it.

The old lady didn't care about her shoulder pain anymore, and hugged her sleepy-eyed granddaughter, "Oh, grandma's good granddaughter, you're back!"

Tao Hongying also quickly touched her daughter's arms and legs, which made Mrs. Cui dumbfounded, "Fu Niu is fine, she can eat and drink, she is having fun."

The Li family was embarrassed, "It's not that they can't trust you, it's that this child has been by my side all the time, and suddenly he went out for a while, and the whole family lost their souls."

Jiayin's heart was bubbling with warmth, and she was afraid that grandma would hurt her shoulder wound, so she gave grandma a big kiss, and then ran into her mother's arms.

Seeing her brothers approaching, she pouted and kissed them all alone, which made Jia Anjia happy to play with her younger sister.

Tao Hongying put her daughter on Jiaxi's back, and said, "It's nearby, don't run away."

Jiayin quickly reached out to the car, "Dim sum, my dim sum!"

Madam Cui took a box with a smile and handed it to Jia An to hold.

The three brothers and sisters happily ran away, obviously looking for a place to share.

Everyone was laughing, and it happened that the village head also brought people over, so we started talking about business.

The fruit farmer that Liu Zhiheng helped find was Han, an old man over fifty years old. Just by his dark complexion and calloused hands, he was an expert in working all the year round.

The village chief was very satisfied, and after a few pleasantries, he was taken to the old man Han.

The villagers sent the fruit seedlings up the mountain long ago, but they dare not plant them, for fear that something is wrong and they are in urgent need of guidance.

Mrs. Cui pointed out the fine seeds to everyone, "This is the fine seed from my righteous brother Zhuangzi, you can plant it with confidence. In addition, I also asked someone to pack a thousand catties of coarse grains. Don't be disgusted by the village chief uncle, I will keep it for everyone to cook. Rations."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, this is a timely help, and it has helped a lot." The village chief was so happy that he called Li Lao Er to come forward.

"Second brother, make sure to write it down. In autumn, we will double the good seeds and return them, and add [-]% to the coarse grains."

The second brother Li agreed, immediately took out a charcoal pen, and wrote down two strokes in his small notebook.

Madam Cui still wanted to stop her, but she didn't bring too much coarse food because she was afraid that the villagers would be so polite.

Mrs. Li grabbed her hand, "The village chief made the right arrangements. No one's food was blown by the strong wind. If you borrow and pay back, it will not be difficult to borrow again."

"Yes," the village head nodded with a smile, "there are so many people in the village, it's hard to get into the habit of asking for everything you need. It's because Mr. Ye gave the saplings, and the accounts are written down. In the future, you will have to give the capital. Everyone My son now has mountains and land, as long as he works hard, he will surely have a good life."

Madam Cui didn't insist anymore, but she admired everyone more in her heart.

Who wouldn't love such hardworking and self-reliant people?
