The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"Stop! Don't even think about it!"

Before the daughter-in-law could finish, the old village chief interrupted her with a sullen face, "Everyone wants a way to make money, but it's one thing for the Lin family to give it to us, but we can't go to their house and ask for it shamelessly, otherwise what's the difference between us and the Zhang family? The Lin family doesn't owe us anything. Besides, if Baixiangcao is our only way to make a living, would you let others grow it together? There are many people in the village who envy us, but who will ask for it? People should know their limits and know when to advance and retreat."

After saying this, he looked around at his children and grandchildren, and said earnestly, "Desire is hard to satisfy. Once greed opens its mouth, it will become a bottomless pit. People say that the Zhang family is not good people, but it is unfortunate that they will end up like the Zhang family."

"Dad, don't worry. We are all from a good family and we know how to do our duty." Lin Annong glared at his wife and said, "Chunfeng just said that casually. Don't take it to heart. We know what we should and shouldn't do."

The old village chief's expression softened, and he took two puffs of his pipe, "The Erhe couple will go to Shangdong Village in three days. They should come to borrow the ox cart. You can use the ox cart that day."

"Hey, that's good."

There are 58 households in the village with a population of just over 400.

There were many people who had the same idea as the village chief's daughter-in-law, but most of them just kept it to themselves. Those who dared to say it out loud would be criticized by their elders at home.

Mrs. Li told her family the gossip she had heard as a joke, "What are you all thinking? When the Lin family was doing well in the past, which family in the village had difficulties and had not received help from the Lin family? When your eldest sister got married, our family was so poor that we couldn't even give her a dowry to make her proud. It was your uncle Lin and aunt Lin who added to the dowry, two wedding quilts and one tael of silver, so that our family would not be too shabby in front of the in-laws. And Wang Quan's father broke his leg at the beginning, and the village chief's ox cart happened to be lent out. It was Dashan and Erhe who helped Wang Quan to carry his father to the town to find a doctor, so that his leg was not lame... If I were to tell all these things, it would take too long to finish. In short, remember more of the good things others have done, and don't just remember the benefits they have. You can't do that. Li Fugui, did you hear what I said? I'm talking about you!"

Li Fugui looked up blankly with his mouth full of stigma, "No, it's my fault, what's wrong with me? It's not me who said it was spicy! And you didn't know what was going on in the yard, you were eavesdropping on them?"

Mrs. Li raised her palm-leaf fan and fanned her resentful son on the head, "How do you know what I know? Talk after you finish eating! You opened your mouth and spit out bread crumbs all over the floor! Bread crumbs are not food!"

“……” You just want to slap me, why do you have to prepare for it for so long?

……

During these three days, the Zhang family was not idle.

The distance from Shangdong Village to Yuxi Village is so long, but the old couple of the Zhang family still trekked back every day.

Before getting the medicinal seedlings, he came to learn how to grow the herbs. He stayed in the medicinal field for most of the day and insisted on seeing with his own eyes how Lin Jiang took care of the herbs.

In fact, they were afraid that the Lin family would harm them, so they deliberately kept some skills back after giving them the medicinal seedlings and did not teach them the techniques of taking care of the medicinal seedlings.

If the crops fail to survive, then the Zhang family will be left with nothing. The letter of severance of kinship will be written, the family ties will be severed, and all the money will be lost.

Day three.

Lin Dashan went to the old village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, and took his mother and second brother, a family of four, to Shangdong Village.

The vehicle was also loaded with enough medicinal seedlings to plant half an acre of land, all of which were selected one by one from the medicinal field.

Giving the medicinal seedlings is equivalent to the Lin family earning half an acre less in income this month.

Only when the spathiphyllum in the field grows new branches can the empty space be filled again.

There was an old man to look after at home, so Li Sulan took her daughter to look after the house, while Lin Jiang went to the medicinal field to take care of the herbs.

The yard suddenly became much quieter without two women and two children.

Li Sulan sat at the door of the main room, took out needle and thread to embroider a handkerchief. As the needle moved, the outline of an orchid was outlined on the handkerchief, which was very lifelike.

Bai Xiang sat next to A Niang with his eyes rolling around. I don't know what happy things he was thinking about. From time to time he grinned and giggled.

"What funny thing did you think of that made you laugh like this?" Li Sulan smiled.

"Mother, there is something fun, very fun." Bai Xiang answered without thinking, "The bad guys in Second Aunt's family are going to cry loudly, hahahaha!"

"How do you know that bad guys are going to cry?"

"..."

I can’t say.

If you say anything, you become a bad kid.

She hung a lot of small green balls on the herb that her father was going to give away. Once the herb had eaten all the small green balls, it would soon die... and would not be able to grow up.

The bad guys will be happy for only a few days before they cry.

Not a penny was gained.

giggle!

Bai Xiang had a little secret that he didn't dare to tell, for fear that his mother would ask him about it. He ran to the yard, "Mother, you embroider the flowers and I'll plant the grass!"

"Okay, go ahead." Li Sulan responded. She didn't take her daughter's words to heart, thinking it was just a casual remark made by a little kid.

The quiet time passed quietly, and the sun began to climb higher without knowing when.

In the afternoon, Li Sulan cleaned her daughter's dirty hands and face, fed her father-in-law some medicine, and was about to go into the kitchen to make breakfast when a gorgeous carriage appeared at the door.

Li Sulan's face changed immediately.

When the curtain was opened and the people got out of the car, she was already pale and shaking all over.

Eyes full of fear and hatred.

The man who came down was dressed in rich clothes, had a square head, big ears, and a belly as big as a gong.

Li Sulan would never forget that face until her death.

Chen Xing, a wealthy businessman from Ma County!

Her employer when she was an embroiderer!

There is also Chen Hongyang, the steward of the Chen Mansion!

"What are you doing here!" Seeing the other party swaggering into the house, Li Sulan spoke sternly and involuntarily stepped back to protect her daughter.

Bai Xiang was confused and shouted "A Mother" with black smoke in his palms ready to burst out.

If anyone dares to bully her, she will beat them to death!

Chen Xing's eyes moved back and forth on Li Sulan's face several times, his eyes were presumptuous and condescending, "How can you, a country peasant woman, recognize me?"

At this time, Chen Hongyang had already recognized Li Sulan, "Master, her name is Li Sulan. She used to be an embroiderer in our Chen Family Embroidery Workshop. She was the ignorant girl who disobeyed the master's praise."

"Oh, it's you." Chen Xing suddenly realized, and his eyes slid from Li Sulan to the little girl behind her. "Is this your daughter? How come you can still give birth?"

The humiliation and unbearableness she had experienced that year, with the man's words, came flooding back to Li Sulan. She yelled with red eyes, "Shut up! Get out of here! This is my home. Get out! Get out!"

"Li Sulan, how dare you!" Chen Hongyang stepped forward, his face full of arrogance, "If you offend the master, the Chen family will make your whole family pay for it! You didn't know how to be polite before, and now you are even more shameless. You don't want to be the concubine of a wealthy family, but would rather marry into a peasant family and be a peasant woman. You are really willing to be lowly!"
