On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

A villager came out of the Song clan leader's house and couldn't help complaining to the people around him: "We also have a share of this pumpkin. Now we have to depend on others to get our share back?"

"Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you and tell the clan leader!"

The man looked a little sad, but he lowered his voice and said, "Tell the clan leader, just tell the clan leader. Am I wrong? My Yue family has no food to eat, and I was thinking of giving them some pumpkins. Oh, my wife will nag me again when I go back!"

There are quite a few villagers in the village who are in this situation.

After the villagers left, Patriarch Song couldn't help but sigh. "Alas, I don't know what's going on with this old man Song. Why does it take so long to go to the capital city?"

If he doesn't come back, even if he is the clan leader, he can't suppress the thoughts of his clan members.

After all, once people have no food to eat, they won’t listen to anything. Patriarch Song is really worried!

The group arrived outside Nanyun County before dark.

After watching his daughter and son-in-law get off the car, Old Song suggested, "How about Dad take you back first, and let your second brother take the grain convoy back first?

Song Xile refused: "Dad, it's getting dark, you should take them home first!"

"They have worked hard on the journey. Dad, please help me arrange a good place for them tonight, especially the guards of the Qian family. Yun You and I will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Old Song nodded, "Okay, don't worry, leave it to me!"

Song Xile called the Qiao brothers and let his father and his party go first.

After watching the convoy go away and paying the wages for the time, Song Xile suggested: "I wonder if you two have any plans for the future? If you don't have other plans, I would like to hire you for a while."

Qiao Dagang put the newly-earned banknotes into his arms, thinking about how much food he could buy with the money and how long it could feed his family. Then he heard Song Xile's proposal.

He agreed without thinking.

The words of persuasion that Song Xile had prepared just stayed in his mind.

She quickly responded and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to ask me what I want you to do?"

"It's just a matter of guarding. Don't worry, Madam Song. Please ask us brothers to take good care of it!" Qiao Er promised solemnly.

It is hard to find a job that pays well nowadays, and they have also been with Song Xile for some time and know that he is easy to get along with and pays generously.

So the two of them accepted Song Xile's invitation without thinking twice.

The two did not ask, but Song Xile explained, "It is indeed a guard job, but this time we need two people to guard the crops grown at home, and the location is in Songjia Village."

When the brothers heard that it would be in Songjia Village, they were more willing, as it would be close to home and they could also take care of their family.

Seeing that the two brothers had no objections, Song Xile said, "Then let's settle this matter first. You go back and spend time with your family first, and then go to Songjia Village the day after tomorrow!"

The Qiao brothers agreed, then said goodbye and left.

After the two of them left, Chen Yunyou asked doubtfully, "Are you worried that your father-in-law will have a disagreement over pumpkin?"

Otherwise, why hire the Qiao brothers?

"I'm not worried about that. These were all discussed at the beginning. It's just that money can attract people. Once the news about pumpkin spreads in Nanyun County, I'm afraid that someone with bad intentions will come to my house."

"Not to mention during this time when we are short of food and clothing. It would be better to be prudent and invite someone to stay at home to keep an eye on things. This will also make those people with ulterior motives feel a little scared!"

Chen Yunyou nodded in approval, "But wouldn't it be too few to invite only two people?"

Song Xile nodded, "There's no rush for this. Let me go back to Song Village and meet the clan leader first!"

"After all, I am now a married woman. If I bring a large number of people back directly without informing the people of Songjia Village in advance, I am afraid they will misunderstand us!"

Chen Yunyou thought about it and realized that it was true. He had not thought it through carefully enough.

He tilted his head to look at his wife, whose eyes were clear. He felt so lucky to marry such a good girl.

Chen Yunyou was in a good mood and reached out to hold his wife's hand.

Song Xile turned his head to look over and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yun shook his head with a smile on his right corner of his mouth, and just held his wife's hand tighter.

The sky was gradually darkening and there was no one on the official road. Song Xile let him hold her hand, and the couple returned to the village hand in hand.

In the hot summer, some villagers dislike the heat in their homes, so they would spread door panels in front of their homes, and adults and children would sleep on the panels to keep cool.

Under the moonlight, the villagers who were enjoying the cool air saw two figures passing by their doorsteps.

I couldn't help but be alert, "Who is it?"

Chen Yun called out from the right, "Uncle Dashan, it's me, Yun You!"

When Chen Dashan heard Chen Yunyou's voice, he sat up straight and shouted in surprise, "Yunyou is back!"

When the other villagers who were enjoying the cool in front of the door heard the exclamation, they all rushed over and surrounded the two people enthusiastically.

From time to time, he would ask, "Yun You, why did you come back only today? I saw your nephew came back a long time ago!"

"Didn't someone take you back? Why did you walk back by yourself? God has mercy on you."

Some villagers also complained, "That Liu is too biased. She prepared a large carriage for her own village, but let you and your wife walk back. Why didn't you tell the clan? Otherwise, everyone would definitely come to pick you up!"

"That's right, it's so dangerous outside now."

“…”

A group of enthusiastic villagers surrounded the couple and walked all the way to Chen's house. They did not give the couple any chance to answer questions and expressed their opinions in a flurry.

There was no need for the couple to do anything. Some clever villagers had already run to Chen's house and knocked on the door, shouting, "Open the door, open the door, Lao San and his friends are back!"

When the doorman heard this, he immediately went to the main house to report to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen was very happy when he heard that his youngest son had returned.

Although this unfilial son always disobeyed him, he did make him proud. On the day when the examination results were announced, the officials from the county government came to his house to report the good news!

The villagers' attitude towards him became obviously more respectful, and Mr. Chen was very pleased.

When he heard his son had returned, he quickly got up and went to check.

Turning around and seeing his wife still lying in bed, he felt a little unhappy, "The child just came back, and you, as a mother, don't even go to see him. Aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

Liu turned over and turned her back to Old Man Chen. "If you want to go, go ahead. Haven't people gossiped about me enough over the years?"

Her grandson missed the chance to become a scholar because he was drugged. How could she have the heart to entertain that little evil creature?

Anyway, she is his mother now, she is his elder, why does she need to go to greet him herself?

Seeing her being so ignorant of the current situation, Mr. Chen snorted and walked away with a flick of his sleeves!
