After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

When Xiang saw them leave, she said, "You are not here to rent the land today."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Indeed, it is not. I was asked by the county magistrate to come and see your family's situation."

Xiang smiled gently: "It's the county magistrate who has to suffer as a result."

Xia Wanniang just smiled and didn't respond.

Xiang started talking to herself, "My husband was injured a few years ago and cannot have children, and I came from a building, so we will never have children in this life."

Aunt Xiao was a little surprised to hear this. She didn't know there was such a story behind this: "It's actually quite good for you guys to do this."

Xiang smiled and nodded: "I am quite content. He treats me very well. It is my blessing to meet him in this life. Although we don't have children, we can still be together until old age."

Xia Wanniang: "What others say is their business, just live your life happily."

Xiang looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "You are a very insightful child. His parents died early, leaving him alone. It was these relatives who took care of him and raised him. Although I can't say that they took good care of him, they did take care of him after all."

She paused and said, "Some of these fields were bought by his parents, and some were purchased by me. I only charged them a symbolic 10% rent. They should have repaid their kindness over the years."

Aunt Xiao looked at Xiang in front of her and said, "Live for yourself in the future!"

Xiang smiled, and the smile on his face seemed to have broken free from the shackles: "Okay!"

Xia Wanniang looked at her curiously: "Why do you want to sell all the land to us?"

Xiang looked at her and said, "Maybe they get along well, or maybe they think your family is the only one who can afford to buy these lands in this village, or maybe they don't want to sell all these lands separately."

She said three maybes, which actually contained too much helplessness and reluctance.

When Xia Wanniang and the others came out of Liu Laoshi's house and returned home, Xu Li was sitting in the main room making tea for himself.

The children from the village came to play with the three children and left with them halfway.

When Xu Li saw the two of them coming back, he quickly poured them a cup of tea and said, "Aunt, what's going on?"

Aunt Xiao looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "Wanniang, please talk to A Li!"

Xia Wanniang simply recounted the whole story.

Xu Li was stunned at first, then nodded: "So that's how it is. So it's good for the two of them to live their lives in peace. Xiang has been cursed for Liu Laoshi all his life, and Liu Laoshi has doted on Xiang all his life."

Aunt Xiao looked at the blue sky outside and said, "Isn't this a kind of happiness?"

Xu Li immediately became excited: "Are you planning to grow rice yourself after buying so many rice fields?"

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "We don't have a large family. We grow some crops ourselves and rent some out. But it won't be 10% rent. Our family is not a charity, and we don't have any favors to repay."

Xu Li rolled his eyes and said, "I'll come when the spring ploughing season comes."

Aunt Xiao looked at him with confusion: "What are you doing here?"

Xu Li touched his nose and said, "Aunt, I am now the magistrate of a city after all. I must understand spring ploughing and autumn harvest. I can't just muddle through life without knowing the difference between the five kinds of grains!"

Xia Wanniang didn't expect him to be so diligent: "Thank you, County Magistrate. It's not easy to plough in spring and harvest in autumn."

When Xu Li saw her expression, he felt as if he had said something wrong. He wondered if it was too late to take back what he had just said.

Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Xiao prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, otherwise there would be nothing to eat when everyone came back.

Xia Wanniang held her hand and said, "Mom, I'll be here at noon. What do you want to eat?"

Aunt Xiao knew what she meant. She was probably going to give them something new to eat. "Zi Mu and the others like to eat fish."

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Then let's have pickled fish for lunch. It's appetizing and goes well with rice."

Xu Li came over and asked, "Can I order some food?"

Xia Wanniang looked at him with amusement: "What would you like to eat, Master Xu?"

Xu Li stroked his chin and racked his brains to think for a while, then he said two words: "Bear paw."

Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You really dare to order."

"No?" Xu Li felt something was wrong when he saw her expression: "Why don't you change one?"
