A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

"Boss, what should we do now?"

In a few days, it will be time to meet the guy who runs the restaurant in the county town.

If my daughter is allowed to meet others with the title of "engaged", it would be fine if it doesn't get out. But if it gets out, her reputation will be ruined and it will be difficult for her to find a good family.

Seeing Ma Youcai drooping his head and not saying a word, Liao was extremely anxious. "Boss, please say something! What should we do? Otherwise--"

Liao's eyes rolled and she immediately had an idea in her mind.

“We just came back not long ago. After so many years, no one remembers that our Xiangzhi and the boy from the Tian family are engaged.

How about - let's go to the county town and meet the young owner of the restaurant first?

If we are successful, we will come back and cancel the engagement with the Tian family. If we are not successful, we will have a way out."

When Ma Xiangzhi heard what her mother said, she immediately refused to do it. "Dad, Mom, even if you leave a way out, I don't want to marry a country bumpkin."

She pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved.

In her heart, she looked down on farmers, who would never be able to rise in their lives and would have to think for several days before even getting a piece of meat. What was the point of living like that?

Seeing his daughter unhappy, Ma Youcai hurriedly coaxed her, "Oh, my dearest darling, I don't want you to suffer. Even if you can't get married this time, I will definitely find a good family for you and will never let you suffer."

The cousin girl sitting on the stool had a sinister look in her eyes and stopped talking.

Of course, she did not miss Ma Xiangzhi's provocative and arrogant look towards her.

Humph, she's already engaged but she still goes to see someone else. Aren't you afraid of being found out and drowned in spit?

The Ma family's abacus was clacking, and they thought that no one knew what they were doing. However, they never imagined that every word of the family was heard clearly by the mouse "scouts" in the mouse hole.

As a result, in less than half a day, Tian Xiaoman knew all their plans.

Tian Xiaoman sat under the jujube tree in the backyard, pinching his chin and narrowing his eyes slightly.

The Ma family is trying to "look for a horse while riding a donkey", and their family is the "donkey" that will definitely be kicked away!

My uncle can tolerate this, but my aunt cannot!

She had never heard her parents talk about the dagger, but it was something left by her grandfather and could not be given to outsiders, especially those with bad intentions.

Want to take advantage of the Tian family?

——That’s impossible!

Looking at Fat Gray who was protecting the six big sweet potatoes tightly, Tian Xiaoman burst out laughing.

"Fat Gray, you are just a mouse, can you take all these six big sweet potatoes back? I think you'd better call all your brothers and sisters over here, because there is strength in numbers!"

Fat Gray seemed to be enlightened. He squeaked, turned around, and ran into the mouse hole, disappearing.

But after a while, its round figure jumped out of the mouse hole again.

Behind it, several mice followed one after another.

There were several mice of different sizes and fats. Among them, there was one mouse that left a deep impression on Tian Xiaoman. It was the mouse that delivered the message for Pang Hui when Pang Hui was not around.

The reason why I remember it is because this mouse's tail is particularly long and thin.

Fat Gray asked several mice to stand in a row and said proudly to Tian Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, let me introduce you to some of my good brothers——"

Fat Gray pointed his paw at the mouse with the thin tail and said, "This is Long Tail—"

It pointed to a mouse with half its ear missing and said, "This is an ear—"

There was also a mouse with no hair on its head, "That's bald hair--"

Finally, there are two mice that look unremarkable in appearance. One is called Run Fast and the other is called Dig Holes Good.

Tian Xiaoman was dumbfounded. The names of these mice were quite descriptive. At least their own names fully expressed their characteristics.

Several mice greeted Tian Xiaoman together, which to outsiders sounded like a continuous squeaking sound.

Fat Gray waved his hand, and several mice each picked up a sweet potato and disappeared from sight.

Fat Gray walked last, and Tian Xiaoman did not forget to instruct him, "Tell your people to help me keep an eye on the Ma family and find out when they will go to the county town to meet and where they will meet. I will get you some real food later."

Fat Gray's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that even the sweet potato in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Great! Xiaoman, I want to eat sorghum rice this time."

Winter is about to arrive, and it’s not easy for the mice either!

In Tianjia Village, every household guards their grain bags very closely. Even if the mice occasionally manage to get some food back, it always comes at a very high price.

In the mildest case, the rat will suffer skin and flesh torn, while in the most serious case, the rat may even lose its life.

Sorghum rice?

It seems that I really have it at home!

Tian Xiaoman nodded, "Okay, it's settled."

Fat Gray squeaked twice. Is he happy? Of course he was, but he was still a little disappointed.

Alas, if Xiaoman’s family lived a better life, maybe I could even exchange it for some sesame oil to drink.

He had only drunk that stuff once in his short life, and it nearly cost him his life.

However, the taste is enough for it to savor for a lifetime.

The next morning, Tian Xiaoman was woken up by his second sister again.

There was no way, since Fat Hui always chose dark and windy nights to ask her out.

Next time I have to talk to Fat Gray and tell him not to meet at night all the time. She is still a child, and delaying her sleep will hinder her growth.

In the main room, the meal had already been placed on the table, and everyone started eating after everyone was present.

Wang was muttering to herself, and when Tian Xiaoman sat down he could hear his mother's nagging voice, but he had no idea what she was saying.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Wang drank a mouthful of porridge and then spoke, "It's really strange. I wanted to steam a basin of sweet potatoes in the morning, but when I opened the sweet potato bag and looked inside, I felt that there were fewer sweet potatoes recently, and the ones that were missing were all large ones."

Wang glanced at Tian Mutou with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"Third brother, tell me - did you secretly take the sweet potatoes out and roast them again?"

Mu Tou shook his head like a rattle. "Mom, there is no evidence. Why do you blame me for everything? Although I am greedy, I am also a principled person. I would never steal sweet potatoes. Why don't you suspect my second sister? My second sister is not an honest girl. She fights and calls people brothers in the village. Why don't you suspect her?"

"Pooh--"

Wang spat, "You little brat, I don't know you! You've done a lot of bad things, don't blame your second sister. Although your second sister is more like a boy, she never causes trouble for the family!"

Mu Tou feels so miserable!

"Mom, they are all your own children, why do you treat them differently?"

Tian Xiaoman drank the porridge spoonful by spoonful, and his arms were shaking a little.

Uh--

As the real "thief", she felt very uneasy.

I could only drink the porridge mouthful after mouthful to hide my inner uneasiness.

At the same time, she secretly calculated in her heart that she must not send sweet potatoes to Fat Gray and the others next time, otherwise, with her mother's shrewdness, she would definitely find out something fishy.

Fortunately, my third brother can take the blame for me!

Woo woo, third brother, I’m sorry!

I do all this for my brother!

We are siblings. It shouldn't be too much for me to take the blame for your sister, right?
