Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

The father and his two daughters carried two peach trees, two pheasants and a hare and happily went down the mountain.

Some villagers saw pheasants and rabbits and were so envious that they turned around and started scolding their men for being useless.

But there is no point in being envious, as going up the mountain to catch prey is not something that ordinary people can do.

The mountain they were on was Jiuyi Mountain, which was not only home to bandit dens, but also had many ferocious beasts, and I heard there were some big ones. It was very dangerous.

Even when Yun Huaiyuan and his companions went up the mountain to hunt, they only dared to wander around the outskirts of the mountain and did not dare to go into the deep mountains and forests.

But if someone who doesn't know how to hunt wanders around the outside of the mountain, he won't be able to catch anything at all, let alone pheasants or rabbits, he won't even be able to find a chicken feather.

Yun Huaishan and his men were somewhat skilled, and the key was to set traps, so they could get some rewards from time to time.

The most common hunts are pheasants and rabbits, and if you are lucky you can also hunt roe deer.

However, it is very good to be able to hunt pheasants and rabbits, especially rabbits. If you can catch a beautiful one alive and sell it to the ladies of wealthy families in the city, it can be worth some silver.

Even if it's a dead rabbit, its fur is valuable if it's processed.

After all, it's much better than digging for food in the ground.

When passing by the door of his house, Yun Huaiyuan threw the pheasants and rabbits back home and prepared to plant the peach trees with Yun Yan.

"My daughter, the sun is too strong. You can just rest at home. Your second brother and I will go plant trees."

Yun Xi refused to do that as she still had to go water the peach trees.

"Dad, it's okay. I'm wearing a hat and I won't be exposed to the sun. I'll go with you."

Having said that, she ran home in a hurry and got a wooden bucket, then filled half a bucket with space well water, put a clean wooden ladle in it, and then left the yard again.

"Girl, why are you carrying the bucket? Hurry up and give it to your second brother."

In fact, Yun Yan didn't need his father to remind him. Before he finished speaking, he had already picked up the bucket.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Dad, second brother, this water is clean, you can drink it."

Upon hearing this, the two men put down the peach trees on their shoulders and each gulped down half a bucket of water.

After drinking it, they all let out a comfortable sigh.

In an instant, I felt all the fatigue in my body disappear. I no longer felt hot under the scorching sun, but instead felt a slight cool sensation.

Carrying the tree and the bucket, he continued walking towards his own vegetable garden.

I just met an aunt from the village halfway.

"Hey, Sister Xi, what are you doing? Why are you carrying two peach trees?"

Yun Xi let her father and second brother go first, and she stopped to answer.

"It's Aunt Li. My father and second brother saw that I like to eat peaches, so they went to the mountain to dig up two peaches to see if they can be planted in their own fields. This way, next year when we want to eat peaches, we don't have to go to the mountain to pick them."

"Oh, only your parents and brother are so kind that they can spoil you."

I didn't think much of it. Other families were struggling to make ends meet, but the Yun family actually had the leisure to plant peach trees. It was unacceptable for the whole family to spoil such a girl.

Then, she looked around again, moved closer to Yun Xi, and lowered her voice,

"Xi Jie'er, let me tell you, did you know that the eldest girl from the Wang family actually woke up again today?"

Hearing her mention Wang Daya, Yun Xi instantly became interested and no longer felt bad for her being too close.

"Really, Aunt Li? Did they see a doctor for her?"

"How could that be possible? I heard that after she was carried back yesterday, she was thrown directly into the woodshed, and then Mrs. Wu sprinkled a handful of wood ash on her, and then wrapped her up in clothes and that was it."

"He woke up like this?" Yun Xi felt that Wang Daya was really lucky.

"Well, I heard that she woke up on her own this morning and walked out of the woodshed as if nothing had happened. But I heard that no one in Old Wang's family took care of her yesterday, which made her feel disappointed. Her temper changed drastically, and she kept clamoring for a feast of fish and meat."

Yun Xi frowned when she heard this. Her temperament changed drastically?

"Who can afford to eat delicious food these days? Mrs. Wu was so annoyed by her that she gave her an egg. She was still not satisfied with that. She probably knew that there was nothing good left at home, so she went to the Zhao family to make trouble."

Yun Xi's eyes lit up, "Did she go to the Zhao family to make trouble?"

"No, I heard that she had tried to die once but failed, so she decided to give it up. She had a big fight with Zhang, and I don't know what the Zhao family was thinking, but they finally compromised and gave her twenty taels of silver."

Yunxi's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open. Her surprised look made Aunt Li feel very accomplished.

It’s more interesting to gossip with cooperative people.

"Okay, Sister Xi, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go home and make lunch."

Yun Xi nodded her head quickly, "Okay, Aunt Li, go do your work first, and tell me if you have anything interesting to say later."

Aunt Li waved her hand and agreed with a smile. She thought that this girl from the Yun family had a good temper, but she had a bad fate.

Alas, what a pity.

It will be difficult for a girl who has broken off the engagement to find a good marriage in the future.

I’m afraid Sister Xi will have a hard time in the future.

I will also keep an eye out in the future to see if there are any men whose wives have died and are looking for a remarriage. I can help introduce one or two.

Yun Xi didn’t know that someone was already worrying about her marriage, and at the moment she was full of doubts.

Wang Daya was lucky to survive, so why did her temperament change so suddenly?

It's understandable that he has let go of some things after surviving a disaster, but it's very strange that he asked the Zhao family for money, and the key point is that the Zhao family agreed.

There is something obviously fishy about this matter.

Considering the calculating nature of the Zhao family and Zhang's stingy character, how could they easily give out silver, let alone twenty taels at a time?

Does this mean that Wang Daya has some leverage over the Zhao family, forcing the Zhao family to compromise?

Yun Xi strongly suspected that this matter was related to the death of the original owner.

There is an 80% chance that Wang Daya pushed the original owner off the cliff at the behest of Zhao Junyi.

Yun Xi was thinking about this and that, and before she knew it, she had come to her own vegetable garden. Her own vegetable garden was lush and green, and the fruits and vegetables were growing well, better than those grown by other families.

Other families in the village are envious. There was very little rain today, so the crops in the fields are not doing well, and the vegetable gardens are not as good as in previous years.

But Yunxi's vegetable garden was not affected at all. Everyone praised Xi for her ability and good management of the vegetable garden, and they did not know that it was Yunxi's credit.

Seeing Yun Xi, Xi and Yun Huaiyuan asked her to find a shady place to rest.

Xi had already tidied up the vegetable garden. The work was not hard, just pulling out the newly grown grass.

The pulled grass is not thrown away, but taken home to feed the cows at home.

However, when Xi came today, she only brought a basket. There wasn’t a lot of grass, but it couldn’t fit in one basket.

He raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead and shouted to his son, "Brother Yan, go back and get another basket. These grasses won't fit in the basket."

Seeing that his second brother was still busy planting trees, Yun Xi took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'll go back and get it."

She hadn't done anything for half a day, so she just followed him and walked a few steps.

Before Xi could say anything, Yun Yan, who was originally reluctant to go back to get the basket, dropped the hoe in his hand and ran home when he heard that his sister wanted to go back to get it.

"Little sister, don't move. Listen to your parents and find a cool place to rest for a while. I have long legs and will be back soon."

Yun Xi wrinkled her nose and snorted at her second brother, "It's great that you have long legs."

After saying that, her dimples sank deeply, and she nodded seriously, "Yeah, long legs are really amazing."

Then, he obediently found a shady place to rest.
