A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

"Xiaoxiao, you are a girl, you must be careful when you go out in the future, and never let those villains with ulterior motives bully you." The head of the village is now in his sixties and has seen a lot of things. He understands what happened today. Someone deliberately targeted Li Xiaoxiao. He said that how could Xiaoxiao fall for that kind of person.

After saying this, the headman left with the women who were traveling with him. The women were whispering to each other, saying that with them around, the villagers wouldn't have to worry about not knowing what happened today.

"Li Xiaoxiao, was it you who did this?" Li Chengcai stared with bloodshot eyes and asked loudly.

Li Xiaoxiao spread her hands, looking innocent: "Tell me, what did I do?"

"You, you ask even though you already know the answer." Li Chengcai couldn't say anything specific, as he was the one who was in the wrong in this matter.

Li Jiaojiao cried out in shame and anger from behind: "I don't want to live anymore, you let me die."

The next day, Zhang Wenbin still sent someone to propose marriage. Because it was not Li Xiaoxiao, it was not marrying a wife as he said yesterday, but taking a concubine. Upon hearing this, Li Jiaojiao burst into tears again.

The betrothal gifts were changed from the original six large mahogany boxes given to Li Xiaoxiao to two small boxes. They were not yet full. Liu had no choice but to persuade her kindly that once a woman lost her virginity, she would be like fish on the chopping block and had no choice. After all, Zhang Wenbin came to propose marriage. If he hadn't come, Li Jiaojiao would have only death as her fate.

Zhang Wenbin was angry and did not want to take Li Jiaojiao as his concubine, but Li Dajiang was a scholar and if it got out, it might bring bad reputation to his father. After all, it would just be one more concubine. There was another reason. This way he would have a reason to get close to Li Xiaoxiao and then think of a way to get her.

The marriage had been arranged, but no one wanted to make a big deal about it even though something like this happened. Three days later, a sedan chair was used to carry Li Jiaojiao through the back door into the backyard of the county government office.

Li Xiaoxiao was in a good mood. Although she was alert before the accident, she was really worried that Li Jiaojiao would not be able to get away without Si Chengxu's help.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"No matter what, you have helped me a lot this time. If you need my help in the future, I can help you as long as it does not violate the principles." Li Xiaoxiao did not expect that Li Jiaojiao would use such a vicious method. It's a pity that harming others will eventually harm yourself. Thinking of Li Jiaojiao's arrogant look, she felt inexplicably happy to be someone else's concubine.

"I don't need your help. I want to eat braised pork for lunch." Si Chengxu was in a good mood when he saw Li Xiaoxiao was happy. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't even know it.

Li Xiaoxiao saw it clearly with her sharp eyes. The word "handsome and elegant" was not enough to describe the man in front of her.

***

When Li Jiaojiao returned home, Zhang Wenbin followed her.

Li Jiaojiao held Zhang Wenbin's arm affectionately, with a shy and rosy face. Her hair was tied into a woman's hairstyle, and she wore two golden hairpins, pearl earrings, and a jade bracelet on her hand. It was obvious that Zhang Wenbin treated her well.

Zhang Wenbin prided himself on being a romantic man. He held a folding fan in his hand, held his head high and chest puffed out. He was dressed in a cotton-padded robe, but his face, which was thin due to excessive indulgence in sex, made him look ugly no matter how you looked at him.

When Liu saw her daughter's clothes, her face was as bright as a flower and she went to greet him from afar. When other families took concubines, their daughters would go back by themselves, but her son-in-law brought a lot of gifts, which showed that he was very satisfied with her daughter.

"Uncle, please come in and sit down. You must be tired."

Old man Li and old lady Li came out of the house, looking at the servants carrying large and small bags of things, they smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed into a line, and hurriedly called Su to catch an old hen from the chicken coop to add to the lunch.

Su did not dare to delay and hurried away.

After entering the house, Zhang Wenbin was asked to sit on the main seat, and Li Jiaojiao sat in the seat where Old Mrs. Li usually sat. Old man Li nodded and flattered: "Son-in-law is really handsome and dignified. Our Jiaojiao is so lucky."

"That's right. The fortune teller said since she was young that Jiaojiao has a good face and will marry into a wealthy family and bring good luck to her husband." Old Mrs. Li echoed him. The more she looked at the pile of things, the more satisfied she seemed.

Zhang Wenbin was very pleased with what he said: "You guys have taught her well. Jiaojiao is very sensible, gentle and virtuous."

Li Dajiang, who had been silent, cleared his throat and tried to act like an elder. He had thought that if Li Xiaoxiao married Zhang Wenbin, she could help him, but things did not go as he wished. By some mistake, his daughter married him. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do.

It was said before that Li Xiaoxiao would marry him as a wife, but his daughter became a concubine. Li Dajiang felt very uncomfortable because his daughter had been spoiled since she was a child and was no better than Li Xiaoxiao. Although he was angry, he dared not show it on his face.

"Son-in-law, are you studying at Xiyuan Academy?" Li Dajiang asked in a shabby tone.

"Well, I've been studying for a few years. I will take part in the imperial examination this year. I wonder if my father-in-law will go too." Zhang Wenbin said indifferently, glancing at Li Dajiang.

"I have studied the books of sages for several years, just for the day when I can help the world and the current emperor share his worries. This is my lifelong wish." Li Dajiang said as he bowed in the direction of the imperial city.

"I believe my father-in-law will get what he wants this time."

"Thank you for your good words, son-in-law." Li Dajiang was overjoyed when he heard it. Did he mean to help with the arrangements?

Li Jiaojiao sat quietly and couldn't help but sit up straight.

Everyone present felt that Zhang Wenbin was hinting at them, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

"I've been sitting here for so long, but why don't I see Ershao and his family?" Zhang Wenbin looked around and asked curiously.

"Oh, it's like this, son-in-law, you don't know, my second brother and his family have separated from the old house and now live halfway up the mountain. They seldom come to the old house on weekdays." Liu didn't expect him to mention the second branch, and she had a vague guess in her heart.

"Oh." Zhang Wenbin let out a long "oh" and glanced at Li Jiaojiao.

Li Jiaojiao immediately understood what he meant and twisted the new handkerchief in her hand. The fine silk fabric was wrinkled by her.

She forced a smile on her face, cleared her throat, turned around and said to Old Lady Li, "Grandma, today is the day I go back to my parents' home. I haven't seen my second uncle for a few days, and Xiaoxiao as well. I miss her a lot. Call them all over, and we can have a reunion dinner together at noon."

“No…” When Li Xiaoxiao was invited to the old house for dinner, Old Mrs. Li immediately became unhappy and wanted to refuse directly.

The old man Li next to her secretly pulled her clothes, and then Mrs. Li didn't say anything. Then she changed her words with a fake smile on her face: "I'll ask Daya to call people, you guys sit down first."

When Daya came, Sun was just about to cook. After explaining her purpose, Sun asked Li Xiaoxiao if she wanted to go.

"Go, of course. There must be a lot of food in the old house today. It would be a waste if you don't eat it. Call your cousin and let's go together." Li Xiaoxiao smiled slyly.
