Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The smell by the river was really unpleasant, and Liu Donglai wanted his daughter to go back first.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw his daughter and her three maids rolling up their sleeves and washing pig hair.

"Bao, Baoer, what are you doing with that thing?"

"Oh my God, little sister, that thing is dirty, smelly, and prickly. Why are you washing it?" Han Duoduo said as she wanted to pull up the catkins.

Mu Lingxuan's eyebrows twitched violently, and his hands were ready to move.

"Hey, don't come over here, or you'll get dirty. This stuff is good, I'll tell you later when I get back."

"Then get up, Dad is coming!"

"Goodbye, Dad. I've already done it. You guys can help take the meat and internal organs back. Granny Fang and the others will know how to deal with them." After saying that, he stopped looking at them and turned around and shouted,

"Brother He Lei, bring me some more hot water."

"Okay, miss." He Lei scooped hot water and said, "Master, go and move the things quickly, miss, we are here!"

"Junior sister, I'll go get you some water!" Han Duoduo said, and flew to the river with a bucket in one hand.

When Mu Lingxuan saw it, he picked up two and went too.

Xuanyi: There is no bucket anymore, what should I do?

Liu Donglai had no choice but to take some people with him as porters. As a result, there were so many people that they finished the work in one trip.

By the time everyone got home, it was already noon.

I went home to wash up and eat. There were no outsiders, so we still had two tables.

After cutting two flavors of braised dishes, Granny Fang brought two newly hired cooks to make some home-cooked meals.

"Dad, Brother Huaijin, there are so many internal organs, why don't we send one to a family in the village? We can't stew them all, and those things are very fishy. They will become rancid if we take them to the North." Liu Xu suggested after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"These are the spoils of war of Uncle Liu and his men. They can decide for themselves!" Mu Lingxuan said calmly.

"Then give it away. I plan to take two more pigs and divide them up according to the number of people in each family."

"What's going on with the cow in the backyard?" Xu Ruolan suddenly asked.

"Cow? Did our family buy a cow?" Liu Xu didn't understand.

Liu Donglai slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot. Baoer, your uncles hunted a wild yellow cattle today. Miss Duoduo said she wanted to eat braised beef, and Dad remembered that you also like to eat lean meat, so he kept all of it!"

"Dad, a whole cow?" Liu Xu looked up and asked in surprise.

"Well, a whole head. Dad will buy it for you." Captain Liu looked generous.

He was the one who killed the tiger, and he got 1,200 taels in total. He gave 100 taels to Mancang, and the others each got 20 taels, so he still had more than 600 taels. As for the money from hunting yesterday and today, he would divide it up after buying the pork.

"Yeah, Dad, you are the best dad in the world, no one else!" Liu Xu was happy. Wow, a cow must weigh about 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms, right? The beef is free!

"What about mother?" Xu Ruolan teased.

"Mom is the best mother in the world!" Liu Xu quickly replied, and then looked around, "Master is the best master in the world, senior brothers and sisters are the best senior brothers and sisters, aunt is the best aunt, Grandpa An is the best housekeeper, everyone in our family is the best, yes, including me!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Miss, the young lady is really exactly like you when you were a child, at least when it comes to carrying water." Xu Hean stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Uncle An...it's been so many years since this happened!" Xu Ruolan said with some embarrassment.

Everyone at the table couldn't help laughing again. Afraid of really angering his wife, Liu Donglai quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, and there are two ewes with calves. When they give birth, I'll have someone milk them for you. Dad has heard that the young ladies and young masters of the rich families drink this, saying it's good for the body."

"Yes, several young masters in the family have been drinking it since they were young. Cow's milk and goat's milk are both excellent." Xu He'an nodded.

"There are too few cows, and they have to be calving cows. They are so hard to find." Liu Xiumei sighed.

"Then let's buy a male and a female! When the female cow gives birth, we'll have calves. We have a lot of land anyway, so we can always sell the cows!"

So, Uncle He immediately had another task… to buy a cow the next day…

After dinner, Liu Xu took his father to skin and butcher the cow.

Liu Donglai was particularly puzzled when he saw his daughter enthusiastically directing the servants to wash the cow stomach.

What's wrong with his baby? He won't eat good meat, but always likes to mess with those dirty internal organs. Has he been treated badly at home before?

So when Liu Qianhu went to bed at night, he told his wife about this problem, which made Mrs. Xu laugh non-stop. After a long while, she told him that her daughter learned it from the place where the immortal lived, and it was said to be very expensive. Liu Donglai frowned when he heard it, thinking that the immortal had a strange taste.

But at this moment, he didn't know how to say it, for fear of hurting his daughter's feelings, so he could only hum and work.

Liu Donglai and his friends are leaving the day after tomorrow, and Liu Xu wants to hurry up and make some dried meat for her father and his friends.

The busy work lasted until the hour of Hai.

The next day, Mu Lingxuan took Xuanyi to the county town. Liu Donglai and others were at home, one to prepare the meat and the other to let everyone get together with their families.

Liu Donglai hadn't visited Liu Dongcheng for several days since he came back, and he hadn't even taken the initiative to go to the old house to meet Liu Dashan and his wife.

Liu Dongcheng naturally did not dare to hope for it, but the old couple Liu Dashan were both looking forward to it and afraid.

Only after Mu Lingxuan left did Xu Ruolan come back from the workshop and ask Aunt Lin to go to the warehouse to get some satin suitable for the elderly. She also packed the things she had asked Uncle He to buy in his time into boxes, and took Liu Donglai and her children to the old house.

On the way, Xu Ruolan looked at her husband who pursed his lips tightly, and sighed, "No matter what, they are your biological parents. Now our family is fine, and my parents are changing. Let's give them another chance."

Seeing that her husband was still silent, she said, "Our Baoer is right. Don't ruin our two children's chances of taking the imperial examinations for unworthy people and things. It's not worth it! Don't hold your son and daughter back!"

Liu Donglai: "I just can't swallow that breath! We are all their descendants, so let it go for me. I have already served for that man, why do they take the money and get good things and still bully you everywhere! If something goes wrong, they will drag that vicious woman and beast out to take the blame, and they will feel at ease?"

"What else can we do? Can we really ignore our parents? Or should we send the whole family of the eldest wife to jail? Then they will scold us!"

"I...!" Liu Donglai felt very upset.

"Okay, we're already at the door. If you don't like it, just keep quiet for a while!" Xu Ruolan said helplessly.

Her husband loves her and her daughter, but she cannot take advantage of his love for her and become arrogant. Apart from anything else, she cannot ignore the old man because he didn't let her and her daughter sleep on the streets.

Liu Xu followed her parents silently without interrupting them. Didn't she have any grudges in her heart? How could it be possible?

But she and her mother knew that since they couldn't make a clean break, why not leave a good reputation for their family? After all, in this era, "filial piety" is the most important thing.
