Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Du Wenxiu brought Qiao'er and Yulan back home, gave the basket of wild vegetables to Qiao'er, and took Yulan into the east wing and closed the door.

"Did you see it clearly?" Du Wenxiu asked Yulan seriously.

"Yeah." Yulan looked like she was about to cry, and looked very pitiful. "It was Sister-in-law Ershun and Xie... Xie Dongcai. I was so scared that I stood up and saw it clearly..."

Du Wenxiu didn't know who these two people were, but Yulan knew that Ershun was Lu Sangui's second brother, and Xie Dongcai was the son of the village chief.

"Some time ago... Mrs. Jiao came to my house and told my mother that she wanted to tell me about him..." The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Yulan couldn't help but lie down on the kang and cry again.

Listening to her suppressed crying, Du Wenxiu felt as if he was being scratched by a cat.

We can't go to the back mountain anymore. Since these two people dared to mess around in such a place, they must be unable to bear it or they are looking for excitement. Such shameless things would be an eyesore if we really encountered them.

"Sister Yulan..." Du Wenxiu sat down on the edge of the kang and gently pushed Yulan. "You can't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

Yulan sat up, wiped her tears, and looked at Du Wenxiu timidly. "Can you tell my mother? I'm afraid... I'm afraid she doesn't know anything and will marry me to Xie Dongcai..."

As she was about to cry again, Du Wenxiu frowned. "You can tell me if you want to, but you have to tell your mother not to let anyone know that it was you who saw it, and not to involve me and Qiao'er."

After that, he stared at Yulan fiercely. "If I knew you dragged us two into this, I would never forgive you."

The villagers love to talk about these gossips when they have free time. If the names of their own sister-in-law and sister-in-law are involved in this kind of rural scandal, after a long time, who knows what will happen after it is passed around.

If Qiao'er grows up and wants to get married in a few years, I'm afraid this matter will be brought up and discussed again.

Yulan didn't understand what was going on, and was frightened by her ferocious appearance so she kept nodding her head.

After giving a few more instructions, he opened the door and took Yulan out. After this incident, Yulan did not pick any wild vegetables, so Du Wenxiu gave her some bamboo shoots. Seeing the cloth-wrapped fungus in her basket, he reached out and took them, saying that he would give them to her after they were dried. He would then teach her how to eat them and guaranteed that they would not hurt her face.

After sending Yulan away, Fang started to throw things around and scold Du Wenxiu, saying that she was giving her family's things to others and that she was too greedy and didn't know how to live.

Du Wenxiu had something on her mind and was a little annoyed by the nagging, so she slammed the door and went into the east wing. Seeing that she avoided him, Fang became even more angry and jumped up and down in the yard and cursed even more fiercely.

Du Wenxiu opened the door, swinging a small bag, and said coldly to Fang: "Qiao'er and I have been digging wild vegetables in the mountains for most of the day, and we are still being scolded when we come back. I am afraid that a clumsy daughter-in-law like me cannot serve a mother-in-law like her. It is better for you to divorce me for Fang Hai and find a clever daughter-in-law to serve him."

Seeing her cold and frosty look, Fang was actually frightened and wanted to follow her words and ask her to leave. On the one hand, she felt sorry that the ten taels of silver betrothal gift was wasted, and on the other hand, she was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to her son when he came back and asked her for the person. The fierce Fang was a little silent.

After a while, she came to her senses and decided not to be frightened by this delicate young lady. Fang sat on the ground, slapped her thighs and howled, "Oh, everyone come and see, why is our Lu family so unlucky? Not only did we marry a jinx, but she also talked back to my mother-in-law. This family can't tolerate me anymore. How can I live like this... I might as well die and go down to find the old man..."

It was lunch time, and the villagers who were busy in the fields were returning home together. When she howled, the villagers who were passing by gathered around and blocked the gate of the yard.

Qiao'er felt so embarrassed that her face turned red. She hurried to help Fang up, but Fang got angry and threw her to the corner of the kitchen. She hit the wall. She sat there wiping her tears, feeling pain and anger.

Some people who came later didn't know, but when they saw Du Wenxiu holding a bundle and looking at the mother and daughter crying with a stern face, they pointed fingers and said that this daughter-in-law was really extraordinary. Fang Hai had just left home, and she had bullied her mother-in-law and sister-in-law like this.

As more and more people gathered, the message changed.

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel anxious. He originally wanted to say something to stop Fang so that he could live in peace for a few days.

Who knew that this man would really not care about being right or wrong when he started to throw a tantrum? In full view of everyone, several women came out to accuse Du Wenxiu. They all had sons and daughters-in-law. If their families followed suit in the future, there would probably be a huge uproar.

Du Wenxiu then realized that he had been reckless. How could Fang, who had always been a hot-tempered person and could scold his daughter-in-law to the point of jumping into the river, think that he could shut her up by just telling her to leave? Or was it because he was inexperienced and acted impulsively!

If you know your mistakes, you must correct them. Two lines of tears fell down Du Wenxiu's face. Compared with Fang's dry howling, her appearance of forcing herself to endure and not holding back tears was more pitiful.

Seeing that she was crying, the women who came forward felt a little embarrassed. They helped each other down the stairs and told Du Wenxiu to be filial to her mother-in-law and live a good life in the future.

Du Wenxiu bowed to them, wiped the tears from her face, and then spoke: "Thank you for your advice, aunts and uncles. This is indeed my fault. Next time when there is no vegetables at home, I will not take my sister to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. I will just stay at home to serve my mother-in-law. I dare not share the wild vegetables I dug with sister Yulan who did not dig much. After all, we are not a family. It is indeed wrong for me to share the wild vegetables I dug with others."

After hearing what she said, everyone almost knew what Fang was up to. After all, they all lived in the same village. In the past, when Fang's family had nothing to eat and was starving, they often received help from other families. Now that her family's life is a little better, she is so tight on money that she can even see the wild vegetables.

For a moment, the villagers looked at her differently. Fang panicked when she saw that things did not develop as she had expected, but what Du Wenxiu said was also true. She did not know how to refute it in a hurry. With a "wow", she got up from the ground and wanted to hit her with her teeth and claws.

At this time, several women who had come up to lecture Du Wenxiu happened to stop Fang. During the struggle, Fang's nails scratched someone's arm, causing a cry of pain.

Several people hurriedly blocked Fang aside and prevented her from coming closer.

"Ms. Fang, when your family first came to Taohua Village, they had nothing. It was the families in the village who came together to help you settle down here. You and your mother have had a hard time these years, but as long as there was food in the village, you didn't starve to death. Now you want to beat and kill your daughter-in-law for a bunch of wild vegetables. I would like to ask you, are you dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law or with the people of Taohua Village?"

An old man with a stern face walked out of the crowd, and some villagers behind him called out to the village chief in a low voice.

Looking at the righteous old man in front of her, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but think of Xie Dongcai, whom Yulan had just told her - the village chief's son.
