After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 2: A cow in exchange for a chance to be a widow

Zhu Jiangjiang walked out of the village with Song Gu, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, the sadness and reluctance he had just pretended immediately turned into excitement and anticipation.

"Gu Song, let's go, let's go directly to Xiaohuang Village."

She was supposed to be sent to Xiaohuang Village to be a widow tomorrow, so she volunteered to go now.

Spring planting is coming soon, and she can plant the land earlier if she arrives one day earlier.

"What small deserted village? What are you going to do in Xiaohuang village?" Song Gu was at a loss.

"It's the Pei family in Xiaohuang Village..." Zhu Jiangjiang suddenly stopped speaking.

She almost forgot that the people of Xiaohuang Village will take the bull to find Song Gu's important person tomorrow.

"What I mean is, I heard that the Pei family in Xiaohuang Village wants to exchange an old scalper for a girl. I think this business is good. What do you think, Aunt Song?"

"Is there such a thing?" Song Gu looked at her suspiciously.

There is nothing she doesn't know about livestock trading and marriages in ten miles and eight villages, and she hasn't heard about Xiaohuang Village, so how could Zhu Jiangjiang know?

"Is it true? Let's go and see."

Zhu Jiangjiang took Song Gu and turned into the nearby field ridge, took the trail to Xiaohuang Village, and fooled the matter.

On the way to Xiaohuang Village, you have to pass a river, two mountains, three villages, and countless fields, and it takes an hour to walk by trail.

That silly girl from the original owner walked for two hours every day to come back to Xiaohuang Village after finishing work for Zhu's family.

When rolling up his trousers and walking across the shallow river, Zhu Jiangjiang suddenly remembered something.

In my memory, the embankment on the upper reaches of this river will be washed away during the rainy season at the end of July this year, and the villages downstream of them will be affected by the disaster.

Not only floods, but in the next three years that the original owner has experienced, there will also be disasters such as food theft, mountain fires, and villages buried with mud and rocks. In addition, there are also many major events that happened in the court.

It's just that the original owner focused on farming related to the land and rarely went to the city, and she only heard about the affairs in the court.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't help feeling thankful that she woke up first.

If the original owner is really allowed to wake up first and face the known disasters in the next three years, then the girl probably doesn't know what to do.

Small deserted village.

This is one of the smallest and poorest villages in Jiangnan Town. There are less than twenty households in the village, and most of them are old and weak, women and children.

Five years ago, the imperial court arrested the young men. Xiaohuang Village, located near the official road, captured most of the young men in the village when the army marched by.

The person Zhu Jiangjiang is going to marry soon is Pei Zhao, who was arrested and sent to the military camp five years ago, and his life and death are still unknown.

As for the reason why she still wants to marry into the Pei family even though she has a choice now, it is simply because she urgently needs a chance to be the master of the family.

The Zhu family's home full of top-notch products will only hinder her from making a fortune.

But the Pei family is different.

The Pei family has a simple relationship and has no relatives. Moreover, her mother-in-law, whom she has never met, passed away half a month ago.

There is only a six-year-old girl in the Pei family now, and when she arrives at the Pei family, everything will be decided by her.

"You really want to marry into this poor village?"

Standing at the entrance of Xiaohuang Village, looking at the defeat in front of her eyes, Song Gu didn't believe that anyone would be willing to marry here.

If I wish Jiang Jiang to be sweeter and beg her a few words, she won't let her fall to this point because of the money she saved for her just now.

"Aunt Song, you don't need to persuade me, let's go in."

Zhu Jiangjiang led Song Gu to the village head Xu Laogen's house in a familiar manner.

The old scalper of the Pei family is now being raised by the Xu family, as is the little girl of the Pei family.

When he came to the gate of a courtyard with a low stone wall, Zhu Jiangjiang shouted excitedly to the courtyard: "Grandpa Xu, are you at home?"

The person in the room heard the sound, it was a thin and small girl with soft yellow hair.

"Who are you looking for?"

The one who ran out was Zhu Jiangjiang's future sister-in-law, Pei Xiaoyu, the six-year-old girl from the Pei family.

Just as Zhu Jiangjiang was about to say hello, he heard an old man's surprised voice behind him, "This, isn't this Aunt Song, why are you here?"

Xu Laogen strode forward and happily welcomed the two of them into the courtyard, his dark face was still covered with thin sweat from his hurried journey.

"You see, I just came back from the city and wanted to ask you for a girl, and here you are."

Hearing this, Song Gu glanced at Zhu Jiangjiang unobtrusively, as if thinking: This girl really hit the spot!

"Which guy do you want to call a girl, come out and have a look." Song Gu took up the posture of a matchmaker and sat down on the chair that Pei Xiaoyu brought.

When Xu Laogen, who poured water for Song Gu, heard this, his expression turned pale.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Gu Song, this man...you won't be able to see him today, Xiao Zhao is at the border."

"What?" Song Gu raised her voice, she understood what it meant, "You're not talking about kissing, aren't you asking someone else's little girl to come and be a widow?"

"Girl Zhu, let's go, Aunt Song, I'll find you a good husband's house, where is better than staying here." She said, pulling Zhu Jiangjiang up to leave.

If it was before, she didn't care what kind of marriage they wanted.

But Zhu Jiangjiang sees that she has a good relationship, and she is really reluctant to leave her in this crappy place.

"no need."

"Aunt Song, don't go..."

Zhu Jiangjiang and Xu Laogen stopped Song Gu at the same time, and the three looked at each other.

"Girl, what do you mean?" Song Gu asked Zhu Jiangjiang.

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't hold back, and directly expressed his attitude, "Song Gu, I appreciate your kindness. I have already decided to stay here and marry into Pei's family. Please fulfill it."

Her words almost moved Xu Laogen to tears.

Xiaoyu has his sister-in-law to take care of him, so he is worthy of Pei's wife's entrustment.

Seeing this, Song Gu let go of Zhu Jiangjiang, looked outside the low wall, took a look at Xiaohuang Village, and murmured: "What's so good about this poor place?"

In her opinion, Xiaohuang Village is useless, except for that old scalper!

As soon as the village head's daughter-in-law Xu Liushi drove the cow into the yard, Song Gu twisted her waist excitedly to meet it.

"This is the old scalper you guys use to talk about girls, right? Not bad." Song Gu nodded her head vigorously, her eyes were already thinking about how much this cow could sell for.

How did she know that the cow was used to talk about girls?

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Laogen's mind, but he quickly figured it out, isn't the matchmaker just specialized in this business?

"Song Gu, look at this..."

"Since the girl from Zhu's family is willing to stay, then let's do it." Song Gu agreed after only thinking about it.

No matter how much she likes Zhu Jiangjiang, she still has to send him away in the end.

Now there is such a good opportunity, exchanging a cheap girl for a big fat cow, she can earn several taels of silver more, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Song Gu simply explained Zhu Jiangjiang's situation to Xu Laogen. If he didn't finish drinking a bowl of water, the matter would be settled.

After sending Aunt Song away, Zhu Jiangjiang urged Xu Laogen and said, "Grandpa Xu, hurry up and call Third Uncle Xu and Fourth Granny Wang here. I will pray to the heaven and earth now, and I can farm the land tomorrow."
