One of the Bai family and the Qin family lived in the east of the village, and the other lived in the west of the village. I don't know when it started. The Luo family was always hanging around the door of Qin's house, either looking for excuses to borrow things, or bringing the little grandson over to find something to talk to.

Even though Su Xiyun refuted a lot of face in front of everyone that day, she acted as if nothing happened, and posted as much as she wanted.

Luo Shi stared at the door of Qin's house for a while and then left. About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Sanshun came over pouted.

The courtyard was so busy that no one paid attention to Bai Sanshun, especially Qin Lian'er, who was squatting in the mud by the door with an apron on.

Su Xiyun cut the watermelon from the kitchen, placed it on the dinner plate, and called the workers in the backyard over to let everyone have a rest and eat some melon.

Then he gave a piece to Mrs. Zou who was boiling water.

"Aunt Zou, let's take a rest, there is enough hot water."

Watermelons in early autumn don’t have so much water. Sandy melons are very sweet, and they are still very crisp when eaten next to the skin. They are soft and crisp. This kind of melon is the most delicious.

Mrs. Zou was eating, when she looked up and saw Bai Sanshun wandering by the door, she pushed Su Xiyun to let her take a look too.

"You said that this Bai family is really interesting. Whoever has money is good with whomever. Your family used to not reveal their wealth. Look now, that Luo Pozi hangs around in front of your house all day, and her eyes are green when she sees Lianer Light."

Su Xiyun looked over and saw that Bai Sanshun was walking around beside Qin Lian'er, as if he wanted to strike up a conversation, but he didn't feel that active, more like being forced to come.

He was forced to come here by his mother Luo Shi.

Luo Shi loves money, He Xiang wears gold jewelry in and out all day, Luo Shi must have seen it, and she is suddenly so nice to Qin Lian'er, she must be trying to get Qin Lian'er's dowry.

Their family has never done business at a disadvantage. Her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Shi, is the only daughter in the family. In the future, when the parents of Yue's family die, the family property will naturally belong to their Bai family. Chen Shi is Luo Shi's carefully selected daughter-in-law.

They were all old foxes who had grown up over the years. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell exactly what Luo Shi was up to. Only the naive Qin Lian'er was kept in the dark.

Su Xiyun didn't tell her directly, she wanted to let herself see.

Because now Qin Lian'er loves Bai Sanshun madly, there are some things that she can only believe when she sees them with her own eyes.

While eating watermelon, Su Xiyun looked at the two children at the door calmly.

Bai Sanshun didn't even want to pretend to Qin Lian'er, it was obviously Luo Shi who forced him to see if there was anything in need of help at home, Qin Lian'er was very shy in front of her sweetheart, but her behavior was always the one who took the initiative.

Seeing people on the street starting to make fun of them, Su Xiyun put down the watermelon, cleared his throat and said, "Lian'er, it's getting late, we're going to cook."

Bai Sanshun looked into the yard, and asked Su Xiyun, "Auntie, is there anything we can do for my family?"

Su Xiyun shook his head: "No, it's almost noon, you should go home and have dinner."

Bai Sanshun was fine except for his love, and later he was selected as a scholar, replacing the old man of the Qin family as the second scholar in the village.

But Su Xiyun still didn't want Qin Lian'er to marry him.

Bai Sanshun didn't want to come to help at first, but when he heard Su Xiyun say this, he took advantage of the situation and went home.

Qin Lian'er reluctantly stared at Bai Sanshun and turned the corner before returning.

As soon as he looked up, he saw her mother staring at him, feeling guilty, and his eyelids drooped.

She knew that her mother didn't want her to see Bai Sanshun.

"Mother, Brother Sanshun came to look for me on his own initiative. I haven't looked for him for a while."

"It's okay, you go pick these vegetables, cut them up, and help your sister-in-law." Su Xiyun didn't mention anything else, handed the vegetables to her, and left by herself.

"Mother!" Qin Lian'er stopped Su Xiyun, faltering: "Brother Sanshun said just now that their family will... come to propose marriage to you..."

"Well, what do you think?"

Su Xiyun knew Luo Shi's idea, so she wouldn't let Bai Sanshun marry a woman with no money or power as the main wife, at best to be a concubine for the sake of the dowry.

Anyway, she firmly disagreed with Lian Er and Bai Sanshun being together, not even if she was a regular wife. She didn't ask Lian Er if she wanted to marry him, but she wanted to know how much Lian Er loved Bai Sanshun.

"Ms. Sanshun said that she likes me very much. I am more sensible than other girls who have proposed marriage to Brother Sanshun. In the future, marrying into their family will definitely not suffer."

"Okay, I know."

Su Xiyun nodded slightly, turned and left.

Qin Lian'er stared at her mother's back in a daze.

She thought to herself: Mother agrees or disagrees?Mother used to dislike Sanshun's mother talking nonsense outside, but now Sanshun's mother has already seriously asked a matchmaker for a kiss, why is mother still indifferent?

The little girl just stood in the yard in a daze. If it had been in the past, she would have been crying and screaming, probably because Su Xiyun's "hunger therapy" had taken effect, or maybe she tasted the sweetness of being respected after fighting back. So now when she encounters things, she won't be as bluffing as before.

Especially when it comes to Bai Sanshun, she is very smart, she knows that if she confronts her mother again like before, she will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

She carried the dishes and went into the kitchen.

After a week, the small space in the backyard was finally utilized. Three sheds were built on the small space, one for chickens, one for sheep, and one for pigs. Because the size of the cows was too large, the backyard could not be opened, so she He tied the cattle to the gate and built a temporary shack with corn stalks.

Su Xiyun invited the villagers who helped out to have completion wine, and she specially asked Qin Huaisheng to go to the restaurant in the town to buy some side dishes. After eating the wine, she distributed the wages she had prepared in advance to them one by one.

Master Song counted the amount of silver, and said to Su Xiyun: "We live in the same village, so even if we help you, just give it, it doesn't need so much."

Su Xiyun smiled and said, "Not much, Uncle Song, I'm young and I don't know much about it, so it's just based on market wages."

That's what they said, but they all know that Su Xiyun's wages are definitely more than the wages in the market. Everyone knows it. After all, everyone wants to earn more, but they are afraid that Mrs. Su's temperament will be unstable. Get some money out, and then give it back?

So no one said anything, and went home with the money.

After the barn was built, Qin Huaisheng drove the livestock in one by one, and the pigs and sheep seemed to have found a home, one by one fell to the ground and rolled, feeling very comfortable.

Now that the work at home is over, it's time to harvest the sorghum and cotton in the field.

He Xiang's big stomach was inconvenient, Su Xiyun didn't allow her to go to the fields, and asked her to rest at home. When she was bored, she went to the backyard to feed the chickens and sheep.

So Qin Huaisheng and Qin Lian'er brothers and sisters helped Su Xiyun harvest the crops in the field all the time.

The sorghum has been harvested and now only cotton remains.

Although it has already entered autumn, but the autumn tiger will show its power later, and it will not be able to bear it if it has been exposed to the sun for a long time.

The Qin family's land is on the right side of Qingshui Creek, and on the left side is a small forest. Su Xiyun took out the water and snacks brought from home, and called the brothers and sisters to go to the woods to have a rest.

"Mother, you and Lian'er go first, when you came here just now, you stepped on muddy feet, I'll go to the back mountain to wash in the water." Qin Huaisheng said.

"be careful."

After Su Xiyun explained a few words, he led Qin Lian'er into the woods.

The mother and daughter sat down and drank some water. Just as they were about to eat some snacks to satisfy their hunger, they heard the rustling of footsteps behind the mound next to them.

Then, the voices of a man and a woman spoke.

Su Xiyun and Qin Lian'er looked at each other, and at the same time looked towards the mound—

The person who spoke was actually Bai Sanshun.

That woman is Bai Sanshun's previous wife, Xu Yingying, the flower of the neighboring village.

The two seemed to be quarreling, their tone was hasty, and their words were fierce, but Qin Lian'er's face changed after arguing.
