I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The stone, which was almost broken into pieces, rushed in.

"Mom, why didn't you let me go even after you died?" Shitou looked aggrieved and confused.

Ji Xiaobei: I have been brewing emotions for a long time, but you have ruined them. Believe it or not, I will get rid of you right now...

"What I mean is, if you don't take care of your elder sister in the future, I will..." Lin said angrily.

"I never said I don't care about my elder sister. She can stay at home as long as she wants. I absolutely don't say a word of objection. If I regret it, I will..."

Shitou picked up a small stick as thick as a finger on the ground, and with a snap, the stick broke into two pieces.

Ji Xiaobei: I use that to mix chicken feed...

Ji Xiaobei glared at Shitou and asked, "Why are you back? Why don't you farm properly?"

"I came back to tell my elder sister that many people from the village went to our wasteland and wanted to see how we grow herbs!" said Shitou.

No one in the village grows crops except us. What if they are stolen?

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

"Mom, go check it out!"

The three of them walked quickly towards the wasteland.

Ji Xiaobei was also worried about one thing: there was a mountain spring hidden in the uncultivated area behind the hillside.

If the villagers find out, Ji Lizheng will be so angry that he will die!

The money for digging a well in the village was finally collected. The well digger just arrived today and is looking for a suitable well by the river...

The water from this spring is very thin, not enough for the whole village to drink. Moreover, it is in our own field and we discovered it ourselves. This spring belongs to us and there is no need to tell others.

As soon as I got to the foot of the mountain, I saw a lot of people gathered around.

"Do you grow crops at home?"

"If my family doesn't plant, there will only be those few seedlings in the field. It would be a pity to destroy them. Maybe we can harvest two bags of food in the fall. Planting this won't fill our stomachs, so forget it!"

"Yes, we still need money to plant the medicinal herbs... We just got so much money for digging the well..."

……

"Aunties, let's stop gathering here. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask me!" Ji Xiaobei shouted at the top of his voice while standing on the donkey cart.

"Xiaobei, does your husband's family really grow this?"

"Xiaobei..."

All the questions they asked were irrelevant. Ji Xiaobei finally explained that it had nothing to do with him whether to plant or not.

"Anemarrhena asphodeloides is a medicinal herb that is drought-resistant and not afraid of wind and sand..."

Ji Xiaobei repeated what Zheng Guo had checked for her as if she was endorsing it.

There was another commotion below.

"Aunts, go back and discuss it carefully. If you want to plant, feel free to ask me if you don't understand. But I can't guarantee the final result. If you don't want to plant, just plant the crops. With the weather like this, there's nothing we can do. We can only take it one step at a time. Let's all go, go..."

The workers working over there look over here from time to time, which is really distracting for them.

At this rate, it will be completed tomorrow.

People were clamoring and about to leave.

Erya mixed in the crowd and looked at Ji Xiaobei with resentment.

Ji Xiaobei pretended not to see it and found a place where no one was around to talk to Erya alone about the matter between her and the Strait.

"Ji Xiaobei!" Erya shouted in the crowd.

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaobei looked at her.

"What is your relationship with Ma Haixia?" Erya asked suddenly with red eyes.

"Me and Ma Haixia? I'm the cousin and he's the cousin. What's the matter? He's been here for so many days, and you still can't figure out our relationship?" Ji Xiaobei paused and said with a smile.

She was saving face for Arya. If so many people exposed her in public, her reputation would be ruined.

"Cousin, cousin? You eat together every day. After dinner at his house, he will send you home. Your cousin is so nice to you!" Erya said sarcastically.

The aunts and ladies who had already walked for a while, upon hearing Erya's words, quickly turned back, their eyes shining brightly, ready to watch the fun!

what happened?

Isn’t that pretty boy Lin’s distant nephew?

He and Ji Xiaobei...

Oh my God, the old women opened their mouths wide with curiosity.

"Erya, what on earth are you trying to do? If you are dissatisfied with me, you can say it, but don't bring Ma Haixia into the picture." Ji Xiaobei frowned.

"Oh, you are so protective of your little cousin. No wonder. I was wondering why your cousin is willing to work like a slave in your house."

Erya looked at Ji Xiaobei provocatively.

"Erya, stop talking nonsense. My cousin is a scholar. How can you insult him like this..." Xiaoju heard it and ran over and said angrily.

"Scholars, are all scholars blind? How can you fall in love with a married woman whose penis is bigger than a man?" Erya sneered, two blushes on her face.

The surrounding women exchanged glances, pinched their fingers, and thought secretly in their hearts: There must be some unspeakable secret here!

Xiaoju was so angry that she was about to cry. She didn't expect that Erya, an unmarried girl, would say such shameless words.

People looked at Ji Xiaobei. She had lived in Jijia Bay for so long, but no one from her husband's family came. People were secretly wondering if there was something wrong.

Ji Xiaobei: After being rejected by a man, she bites people everywhere. This mad dog really needs to be treated!

At some point, Ma Haixia emerged from the crowd.

"Erya, you are slandering my cousin with your red lips and white teeth. My cousin is my cousin, and I am me..." Ma Haixia's face turned red with anger.

This was originally a matter between him and Erya, but she shamelessly dragged Ji Xiaobei into it. How despicable.

"Ma Haixia, you are a beast in human form. You claim to be a scholar, but you actually did such a shameless thing. Tell your cousin, what did you say to me?"

Arya suddenly turned to Ma Haixia.

Ma Haixia was blamed and tried to explain himself stutteringly. But when he got angry, his mouth stopped working and he stammered, his face flushed and he couldn't utter a word.

"Oh my, this kid who looked like a good guy actually did something like this..."

"Yes, we can't stay in the village..."

The old women whispered to each other and looked at Ji Xiaobei again.

Ji Xiaobei looked at the dumbfounded Ma Haixia and felt so angry. Where did this kid's usual playfulness go? He failed at the critical moment!

Erya raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't dare to say it, right? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door..."

Ji Xiaobei rolled up his wide sleeves, took a step forward and said, "I want to see who has done something wrong..."

Erya looked up at Ji Xiaobei's dark face and took a breath.

"Who was crying at the door of Ma Haixia's house last night?" Ji Xiaobei asked coldly.
