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

The stove was lit and the firewood burned, and the kitchen was filled with the smell of smoke.

Bai Xiang sat in front of the stove, using the fire poker in an extremely professional manner.

She glanced at her mother again and again, full of doubts and not knowing how to ask.

I was afraid that if I asked, my mother would start crying again.

The doll kept making small movements and didn't know how to cover them up, so how could Li Sulan not notice it.

Perhaps the emotions in her heart were too depressing and heavy, and she needed to find someone to talk to in order to feel a little relieved. Li Sulan spoke softly while preparing the dishes.

"My mother was an orphan when she was young. She had no parents. In order to survive, she sold herself to Chen's Embroidery Workshop when she was eight years old. She worked as a handyman and learned embroidery at the same time."

"When I was ten, I was promoted from a handyman to an embroiderer because of my excellent embroidery skills. After my wages increased, I started saving money and secretly took on small jobs... When I was seventeen, I saved enough money and redeemed my indenture."

"Before I had time to be happy about regaining my freedom, I ran into Chen Xing who came with the owner to the embroidery workshop to check the accounts...so I recognized him."

Li Sulan never told her daughter about the dirty things that happened later.

When they met that time, Chen Xing was attracted by her beauty and forced her to be his concubine.

She refused to obey and was beaten all over.

Chen Xing used threats, inducements, soft and hard tactics but still failed to succeed. In a rage, he ordered the servants in his mansion to give her a sterilizing soup, and then threw her into the mountains when she was tortured to death.

In the freezing weather of winter, she nearly froze to death in the mountains. After struggling to climb out, she collapsed on the side of the road and lost consciousness.

It was the grandmother and the mountain who passed by who saved her, picked her up and gave her a home.

The more than eight years she spent in the Lin family were the happiest and most blessed time she had ever had since she could remember.

Here, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it all feels sweet.

But I didn't expect to meet Chen Xing again.

Li Sulan pursed her lips, her heart in turmoil.

The only thing she was thankful for was that although Chen Xing was lustful, he only liked unmarried young women. Now that she was a married woman, Chen Xing would no longer have any ideas about her.

But Chen Xing wanted to buy out the Baixiangcao, which was a blatant robbery of their family's livelihood. In order to achieve his goal, that man would definitely use any means necessary.

Bai Xiang didn't know about A Niang's worries, but based on his likes and dislikes, he classified Chen Xing as a great enemy.

Next time that man comes, she will stay away from her mother and not let her hug her again.

She must make Chen Xing die miserably.

Chen Xing, who had just sat down in the living room of Zeng's house, felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck. He frowned and took the tea that Chen handed to him attentively.

"Uncle, this is the freshly brewed Baixiang tea. It's hard to grab this stuff, and this is the last bit. I save it specially for you." Chen was all smiles, calling the man who was two years younger than her "uncle". She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and her words were full of flattery.

Zeng Yitang sat beside him, his attitude was very humble, without any of his usual arrogance. "I didn't expect my uncle to come here in person. It seems that Baixiangcao really has great potential!"

Chen Xing is the oldest son in the family, less than 40 years old.

Because he was favored since childhood and had a talent for business, after the old man died the previous year, he bypassed his brothers and sisters and took over most of the family business, and became very successful in Ma County.

He was used to others' flattery, his face was indifferent, and he snorted and laughed, "Good things are good things, but it's not so easy to get them. You have to make connections to avoid unnecessary troubles. With your family's annual income of a few dozen taels at most, you can't afford this big pie. Otherwise, you wouldn't give the benefits to me for nothing, right?"

Zeng Yitong and Chen were so embarrassed by what they said.

Wutong Town is small and remote. How big can a business in such a small place be?

Their family opened a drugstore, and they only had a good reputation as drugstore owners. In fact, they did not earn much throughout the year.

A few dozen taels of money could support one's life in Wutong Town, but it would not be enough to carry it to the county town or the provincial capital.

Otherwise, Chen would not have agreed to the marriage with the Lin family. In terms of family background, the Lin family was not bad at that time.

"The Lin family is just a small farming family and cannot protect the Hundred-phase Grass. When I get this business, I will naturally take care of you. After all, you are relatives." Chen Xing changed the subject and said, "You have been in Wutong Town for decades and have some connections here. I only need you to do one thing for me. Keep a close eye on the Lin family and don't let them have any chance to stand out. If you do it well, you will get a lot of benefits. It won't be difficult to promote the Zeng family to become the number one drug dealer in Wutong Town."

Hearing Chen Xing personally promise to take care of their family, and even having a big pie of the No. 1 drug dealer dangling before them, Zeng Yitang and Chen were overjoyed. It was just a small request from the Lin family, so how could they refuse?

"Uncle, don't worry. I have always disliked the Lin family. With you backing them up, how easy is it to kill them? I promise that from today on, they won't be able to earn a single penny! Even if they do earn, they will have to pay back double!" Chen responded, patting her chest.

Although she and Chen Xing have the same surname, and their relationship as uncle and niece is not actually that close.

The two families are just relatives of the same clan.

In a family, the Chen Xing family is at the head and the Chen family is at the tail, and their family financial conditions are very different.

Now there is finally an opportunity to get closer to her. With this, it will be natural for her to rely on the Chen family to enjoy a comfortable life in the future. How could the Chen family let go of this opportunity?

After getting the assurance, Chen Xing smiled at the couple opposite him in a good mood, with a glance of contempt passing through his eyes.

He looked down on the Chen family. They came from a small family and their words and actions were petty.

But for now these two people can still be used, so he might as well use them. He is far away in Ma County, and it is just right to use these two people to suppress the Lin family.

Li Sulan looked down on Chen Xing, but she married him and became a peasant woman.

Didn’t you say you didn’t want silk, satin, fine clothes and delicious food?

Didn’t you say it’s not a plaything?

Isn’t it said that everyone has their own aspirations?

He wanted to see if she could still be so proud and still have no regrets when her husband couldn't earn a penny and the whole family had to eat dirt!

It would have been fine if I didn’t know she was still alive before, but now that I know, huh.

If she doesn't enjoy the glory and wealth, and it brings shame to him, how can he let her have an easy life!

……

Upper East Village.

The news that the Zhang family was going to break off the relationship with their daughter and grandson spread throughout the village a few days ago.

Early this morning, the Zhang family invited the village chief and clan elders to come as witnesses to witness the severance of the relationship between the two parties.

When the Lin family arrived at Shangdong Village, the old couple of the Zhang family first checked the medicinal seedlings brought by the Lin family. After confirming that there was not a single bad seedling, they took out the letter of severance of engagement that had been prepared long ago without delay, and both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints in the Zhang family's yard.

There was no difficulty at all during the whole process. Even though the elders of the clan tried to dissuade them, the Zhang family refused to listen to a word they said.

Just as the old man of the Lin family said, with the Baixiang herb seedlings as a foundation, nothing will happen to the Zhang family.

Because Zhang Cui'e was a girl and her name was not registered in the family tree, it was much easier to break off the relationship as long as both parties agreed.

The villagers of Shangdong Village naturally would not miss the excitement and crowded into Zhang's yard.
