She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

In the next few days, Dahei followed Li Yu to sleep in the fields at night. During this period, wild boars came down the mountain twice. Fortunately, Dahei discovered them quickly and gave the alarm. The people who were guarding the fields lit torches and set off firecrackers, which scared the wild boars away.

There was almost no loss of crops.

So wild boars are also smart. They know that there is a dog in the village at night, so they simply don't come out at night. They actually choose to sneak out of the mountain in the middle of the day.

The villagers did not expect that the wild boars would dare to come down the mountain during the day, and there was no one guarding the fields during the day.

By the time people discovered it, one-fifth of an acre of sorghum had been eaten. Not all the ears were eaten, but every ear had been eaten. That was really infuriating.

The villagers were very angry. Seeing that the sorghum could be harvested in three or four days, they decided to send someone to watch it during the day.

This is how we can live in peace.

During this period, the villagers devoted all their attention to the fields.

On the other hand, Zhao Dong and his brothers were focusing all their attention on weeding the newly purchased residential land and leveling the bumps on the ground. Today, they called a group of people to help move the bamboo house from the south side of the hillside to a corner of the residential land.

Gu Qingqing was very happy to see her new neighbor, but she became worried after reading the letter for a while.

She came close to Yang Xing and said, "Originally, Dong Ge and his family lived close to where you lived, so you could look after each other at night. Now that Dong Ge and his family have moved here, it's a little worrying to leave you and Zhao Zhong alone on the hillside."

Yang Xing didn't expect that she was talking to him, and said jokingly, "Why should we worry about this? The child's father and I are not children. Besides, there are still those big geese outside. Although they are small in size, they are very capable."

"Then in two days, when Dahei is no longer on duty in the fields, I'll let it go to your place at night." Gu Qingqing said with some reassurance.

Yang Xing waved her hand decisively, "No need. If it comes now, it might fight with the geese at home. If I really need it, I will tell you then."

Seeing her say this, Gu Qingqing did not insist. At the same time, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She should talk to Xiaocao to see if there were other dogs selling in the town. It might not be the same one she bought from.

When the time comes, she will buy one and throw it on the hillside to replace Dahei.

After all, Dahei was raised by her and the other children at home, and she couldn't bear to see him sleep away from home.

......

The day of autumn harvest has arrived. On this day, all the people in Niutoushan Village stood in a row on the road. Some held sickles, some held scissors, and some carried bundles of sacks on their backs. Behind Wu Shan was Wu Mu, who held the only 100-jin scale in the village in his hands.

Everyone's eyes were looking in one direction.

"Why hasn't the county magistrate come yet?"

"Li Er, you've dressed yourself up like a real man today. If people know that I'm helping your family harvest sorghum, others would think you're getting married again." The person who spoke was right next to Li Er. Seeing that he was wearing the new clothes he wore when he got married a few years ago, he started laughing at him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by his father. "You are a piece of shit that can't come out of your mouth. If you can't speak, don't speak."

......

At this time, Wu Shan was talking to a man who was about the same age as him and a little fat. This man was none other than the head of the village.

The last time the county magistrate came suddenly, Wu Shan didn't have time to invite the village head. When Chen Wenguan left two days ago, he specifically said that the county magistrate would come in person on the day the autumn harvest began.

Wu Shan simply invited the head of the village to come as well and give him a good deal.

"Old Wu, have you arranged everything for the five acres of land to be harvested today?" the head of the village asked in a serious tone.

"Don't worry. Everything has been arranged according to what Lord Chen told us when he left. We will just wait for the county magistrate to come and collect it." Wu Shan answered with confidence.

The other party nodded and said, "You must not make any mistakes. If you do this well, your Niutoushan Village will be well-known in the county."

Wu Shanle's eyes were no longer smiling, and he waved his hands and said, "What's the point of showing your face? Just thinking about not having to pay the autumn tax makes everyone unable to sleep at night."

The head of the village looked at Old Wu, who looked very proud. Although he did not show it on his face, he was actually filled with envy in his heart.

Why is there no opportunity in his village for him to show himself in front of the county magistrate?

......

"Chunhua, isn't Qingqing here? Didn't they say that her family's fields were also being harvested today?" At this time, a woman from the village came up to Geng Chunhua and inquired about the situation.

Geng Chunhua and her friends were all given a day off today, so they didn't have to go to her house to work. So she was waiting for the adults from the county to come. When she heard the voice, she turned around and saw it was one of her aunts. She smiled and said, "Her husband is not at home. She was worried that she would walk slowly and affect everyone, so she went to the field first and waited for everyone over there. Aunt, you also have a piece of land to harvest today. Everyone will help harvest it later, so you don't have to worry about a piece of land."

The other party laughed and said, "You don't know. I was so nervous last night that I didn't sleep well. What if my family's grain production is not high? I don't know if it will ruin the village."

Geng Chunhua has been with Gu Qingqing a lot recently, and the more she hears, the broader her horizons will be. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, you don't have to think so much. I heard that the five acres of land for the five households were specially selected based on how you fertilized, watered, and planted. The purpose seems to be to see how much difference there will be in the growth of different plots, and how much higher they can be than the same plots in other villages. So you don't have to worry."

"Did the village chief tell you all these things?"

"Hehe, Qingqing told me that." Geng Chunhua laughed heartily.

......

They were not the only ones whispering to each other. Many people were gathered together talking about something, and it was not difficult to tell from their expressions that they were all very happy.

They didn't have to wait too long before they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then saw a horse running towards their village.

Magistrate Xie held the reins with both hands, and the horse stopped as he shouted "whoa".

Chen Wenguan, who was following closely behind, also tightened the reins, rolled off the horse, and handed the reins to the yamen runner who had also gotten off the horse. He then stepped forward and grabbed the county magistrate's horse.

When Wu Shan saw the county magistrate coming, he immediately shouted, "Your humble servant greets your Excellency." As soon as he finished speaking, people around him immediately shouted, "Your humble servant greets your Excellency." Immediately afterwards, people knelt on the ground.

"Everyone please stand up, the village chief, please come forward."

When Wu Shan heard the greeting, his old face became wrinkled more than a walnut skin with a respectful look and trembling body as he walked up to the county magistrate.

"We are here to inspect the autumn harvest, so you don't have to be nervous." Xie County Magistrate comforted.

"Yes, yes, I'm not nervous." Wu Shan answered nervously.

"Let's go, take us to prepare the land for harvest. I need to know the result today." Seeing that the honest man was very nervous, County Magistrate Xie went straight to the point.
