I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

"What do you mean it's none of my business? She is the daughter-in-law of our Jing family. Won't her things belong to our Jing family in the future?"

Jing Qishan said coldly: "You are old, but you are still so naive!"

Old Mrs. Jing was choked and almost died of anger.

It took her a while to recover, and then she squeezed out a few tears:

"Third brother, do you blame me for driving you to this ancestral home? But there was nothing I could do. I had to take care of a large family. Your father broke his leg and is lying in bed. I thought that Li Yujiao could take care of you. Look, hasn't she taken good care of you? You can even sit up. If your parents had taken care of you, you would probably be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life..."

Old Mrs. Jing begged for a long time, but Jing Qishan didn't even look at her.

"Third brother, are you really not going to participate in the clan's sacrifice?"

Jing Qishan said coldly: "No!"

Where were his people when he needed them most?

Why should I worry about the clan's sacrifices?

Besides, if parents and brothers are unreliable, then can the ancestors buried in the graves be trusted?

……

When Old Lady Jing came over, Li Yujiao and Chun Ge were herding cattle by the river.

When they came back from herding the cattle, Old Lady Jing had already left.

Li Yujiao tied Fugui into the cowshed and was about to go in to cook when a middle-aged man came up to her and asked, "Is this Jing Laosan's wife?"

"May I ask you are?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Perhaps you don't know me. My last name is Jing. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle Jing. I came here to ask you about the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Jing family."

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Yujiao was stunned.

Uncle Jing smiled and said, "We in the Jing family worship our ancestors every year. The main thing is to go to the mountain to worship our ancestors and have a meal together with the same clan members."

Li Yujiao said: "But my husband is not mobile and can't climb the mountain!"

"That's no problem. You don't need to go up the mountain. Just worship at the foot of the mountain."

Li Yujiao thought for a moment and said, "I'd better discuss it with my husband."

Although Jing Qishan cannot walk for the time being, he is a member of the Jing family after all, and he has to make the decision on this matter.

Li Yujiao tied up the cowshed, then took Uncle Jing into the house to find Jing Qishan.

Jing Qishan was originally practicing walking secretly while Li Yujiao and Chun Ge were away, but when he heard someone talking outside, he immediately sat down.

Li Yujiao entered the yard and saw Jing Qishan sweating profusely. She couldn't help but pull a sweat towel from the clothesline in the yard and wipe it for him.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you sweating so much? What were you doing just now?" Li Yujiao asked.

Jing Qishan pushed the blame onto Old Lady Jing: "My mother was mad at me."

"Is your mother here?"

Jing Qishan said unhappily, "They said I should participate in some clan sacrifice. What does it have to do with me whether they do it or not?"

Li Yujiao: …

She looked at Uncle Jing behind her awkwardly.

Uncle Jing was also embarrassed, but he also knew Jing Qishan's situation. He had come over to see Jing Qishan when he was carried back.

Jing Qishan also saw Uncle Jing at this time. He looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. "Oh, Uncle Jing is here?"

Li Yujiao hurriedly asked Chun Ge to bring out a cup of tea for Uncle Jing.

Uncle Jing kept saying it was no trouble, but he was obviously thirsty. As soon as Chun Ge handed him the tea, he drank it up in a few gulps.

Uncle Jing said, "Didn't the clan leader ask me to come here and inform everyone to prepare for the sacrifice? I went to several places today, but I didn't notify your family!"

Jing Qishan sneered: "I knew that you would notify me only after you have notified everyone."

Li Yujiao: …

How come this person is as sensitive as Lin Daiyu?

Uncle Jing raised his sleeve to wipe the corner of his mouth and explained loudly: "It's not that I look down on you, it's because you live the farthest away and I came all the way here to notify you.

Qishan, I know you feel uncomfortable about being forced to split up the family. Your parents and brother and sister-in-law are not kind, but you are also protected by your ancestors, otherwise how could you marry such a good wife? Look at how good your wife is. Not only is she beautiful, but she also takes good care of you. You are much better than when you first came back!"

Jing Qishan's expression eased a lot when he heard Uncle Jing praising Li Yujiao.

Uncle Jing said, "In fact, the clan leader knows everything about your family, but each family has its own difficulties. Wasn't there a drought in our area last year? Many families had no harvest and only survived this year. You came back at the wrong time, so no one can help. But thanks to the ancestors, your wife is a good person. Although many people have never seen your wife, she has a very good reputation in the clan. Why don't you take advantage of the sacrifice to let all the uncles and nephews in the clan see your wife?"

Jing Qishan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Look, there are so many people in the clan, why is Uncle Jing the only one responsible for passing on messages? That's because Uncle Jing can talk.

He does have a capable daughter-in-law, and such a daughter-in-law should really show herself in front of everyone.

He had to let everyone in the family know that Li Yujiao was his woman!

"Uncle Jing, you should discuss the matter of sacrifice with Li Yujiao. See if she is available. She has the final say in this family."

Uncle Jing said quickly, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clan leader's suggestion is that each family should donate a chicken or 100 coins!"

Li Yujiao thought that every family would be eating at home on the Mid-Autumn Festival and she would not have much business if she set up a stall outside, so she agreed.

……

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Yujiao carried Jing Qishan onto the ox cart, and then said to Chun Ge who was seeing them off: "Chun Ge, lock the gate and go home!"

Chun Ge looked at Li Yujiao reluctantly.

How he wished he could go to the sacrifice with his sister-in-law.

But he is a member of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family also has sacrifices. This is a traditional festival in Minle Village, so he has to go back to the Zhou family.

Zhou Dong came to inform him early in the morning.

Li Yujiao couldn't help but smile when she saw his pitiful look: "I'll bring you chicken legs when I come back tonight!"

Only then did Chun Ge laugh.

……

Li Yujiao drove the ox cart to the courtyard of the clan leader's house. The courtyard was very lively at this time. All the people with the surname Jing in the area had come, about eighty people in total.

Some were slaughtering pigs, some were slaughtering chickens, and the women were carrying bowls to the river to wash them for the clan members to have a meal together. In short, everyone was gathering in groups of three or four, and it was very lively.

As soon as Li Yujiao's ox cart arrived, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Who is that?"

"Didn't you see Jing Lao San sitting in the back? The one driving the cattle is Jing Lao San's wife, the one who made a lot of money selling bread."

"That's her. She's so young and she can earn enough money to buy a bullock cart?"

"He said he had seen the Snake Fairy."

"She's just bragging!"

Li Yujiao did not brag, but Old Lady Jing in the crowd started bragging first. She started with a loud "Hahahaha".

"Hahaha, you're right. The one driving the cart is my third daughter-in-law. She sells bread in town and can make a lot of money every day. They are planning to move to town to open a shop!"
