Farmhouse Green Plum

After examining the matter beforehand, Xu Yuzhi felt that every word Daya said was a lie, and she immediately saw through her real purpose - she wanted to learn to read.

As everyone knows, the He family chose Xu Yuzhi as their daughter-in-law because she could read. Now Daya wanted him to teach her how to read. Her intentions were self-evident.

What she wants is not to be a concubine, but to replace herself!

Xu Yuzhi was very angry. In the past, she would have definitely turned her face away and chased the person away, but after Zhang's education that night, she knew she had to keep calm.

Her mother was right. She had to learn not to show her emotions and learn how to deal with these things. After all, when she went to the He family, there would be countless maids who would want to climb into the bed of her future husband.

This time, just treat it as a practice.

Thinking about this, Xu Yuzhi said with concern: "The indenture does not necessarily have to have the words 'sell indenture'. As long as the relevant meaning is expressed properly, the government will recognize it even if there is no word 'sell indenture'.

This matter is of great importance, you still have to be cautious. Well, when you go to apply for a short-term job, you can call me and I will help you check the contract. "

Daya was stuck. She never expected Xu Yuzhi to be so kind-hearted. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Then, she became a little confused. The Xu Yuzhi mentioned by Sister Xiao Cui was obviously afraid of trouble and didn't seem like a kind-hearted person.

"Is this too much trouble for you?" Daya looked embarrassed and racked her brains to think of ways to deal with the situation, but she couldn't think of any.

Finally, she left in anger.

After much thought, she decided not to mention the issue of learning to read for the time being. She had no knowledge of written articles and could not formulate an effective plan. She might fall into the embarrassing situation like today again.

It would be better to establish a good relationship with Xu Yuzhi first, and after becoming close, directly ask her to teach him how to read.

Unfortunately, the next few times I went to Xu's house, Xu Yuzhi was not at home.

As the spring planting season is approaching, the adults carry manure to irrigate the fields, and children like Daya also carry baskets and pick up chicken, duck, dog and cow manure all over the mountains and fields.

That morning, Daya, Lai Di and Xiaoxiang carried baskets and fire tongs and picked up the trash until they arrived near Xu's house.

Looking at the closed gate of the Xu family, Daya was a little sad: "They are not at home again."

Seeing her disappointment, Xiaoxiang said, "Why don't we knock on the door and see, maybe Aunt Zhang and the others have returned to their old ways and locked themselves up."

Daya shook her head. "I thought about it carefully when I got home that day. She is not a warm-hearted person. Learning to read needs to be done slowly. Once we have a close relationship, it is more likely that she will agree to teach me when I ask her to.

So, don’t be too deliberate and go find her specifically now.”

As they were talking, they walked to the end of the path, turned a corner, and were facing the window of Xu Yuzhi's bedroom.

At this time, the window was open and Xu Yuzhi was sitting by the window, threading needle and embroidering something.

Daya was delighted and thought it would be most appropriate to say hello to her when they met by chance.

She immediately put down her basket, waved her hands, and shouted, "Sister Yuzhi!"

Xu Yuzhi looked up when she heard the voice and saw her. She was stunned for a moment before she asked, "What's the matter?"

Daya blinked, keenly aware of the unfamiliarity in her tone, "No, we were just passing by."

As she spoke, she shook the basket to indicate that she was really just passing by.

Xu Yuzhi's gaze fell on the basket in her hand. She leaned back and covered her mouth and nose with the embroidery bandage.

Lai Di rolled her eyes immediately and tried very hard to hold back from making sarcastic remarks. She hasn't even married into the He family yet, but she already thinks of herself as a rich lady. It's not like she hasn't seen chicken manure and duck manure before, so why would she be so disgusted with it?

With the sound of the door opening, Zhang came out from behind Xu Yuzhi. "Hey, it's you guys, are you here to play with Yuzhi?"

Daya once again shook the basket and said, "No, we were picking up manure and passed by here so we came to say hello."

Zhang nodded and praised them for their ability. Then she changed the subject and said, "It just so happens that you can help your aunt talk to other friends. They don't need to ask my Yuzhi to play with them. She has to embroider her dowry and she doesn't have any sisters to help her. She will be busy next."

The carefree Rulai Di also understood the implicit meaning of her words and looked at Daya worriedly.

After the Lantern Festival, although the relationship between Zhao Xiaocui, Erni and Xu Yuzhi eased, they never took the initiative to look for Xu Yuzhi, with the exception of Daya.

Zhang actually said this to Daya. She didn't want Xu Yuzhi to have any contact with Daya. And from Xu Yuzhi's expression, it can be seen that her attitude is the same as her mother's.

Xu Yuzhi saw that Daya wanted to learn to read from her and didn't want to teach her, so she refused in this way?

After leaving Xu's house, Lai Di immediately advised: "Daya, why don't you just give up? Aunt Zhang and the others might have figured out something."

Xiaoxiang also advised: "Yes, it's not too late to give up now. Judging from Aunt Zhang's attitude, if you give up now, she won't tell anyone."

This matter was indeed dangerous. Whenever they thought of it, they felt terrified, fearing that one day when they woke up, Daya would be imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the villagers.

Daya stared at the ground with her eyes downcast. After a long while, she raised her head and said softly, "You don't need to persuade me. I won't give up. I must learn to read!"

In the past, the benefits of learning to read were mostly abstract, but they became concrete on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Because they met Yuan Qing who could read, and because one of them, Xu Yuzhi, could read, they were able to get the beautiful lanterns for free, which they would never dare to dream of in normal times.

So, she must learn to read!

"But Xu Yuzhi doesn't want to associate with you at all, let alone ask her to teach you to read." Lai Di was anxious and a little angry. Why couldn't she persuade her?

Daya frowned. This was indeed a big problem. Just bringing gifts to the door, as if the boy was visiting a tutor?

No, how can I explain the money for the gifts...

Ideas popped up in her mind one after another, but they were quickly rejected after she found flaws. Finally, her eyes lit up: "Find Yulan and convince her to learn to read from Xu Yuzhi. It will be the same if I learn from her."

Daya became more and more excited as she spoke: "She is not in a hurry to get married, I can take my time, and besides, my relationship with her is pretty good now."

"That's a good idea!" Lai Di's eyes lit up, and she was a little moved. "After Xu Yuzhi gets married, this matter will fade away. We can learn to read again, and no one will gossip about it!"

Xiaoxiang was also tempted. The benefits of learning to read were obvious. She was reluctant before because the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. But it was different when learning with Xu Yulan. There were almost no disadvantages, only advantages.

"They are cousins. Could it be that Xu Yuzhi has already taught Yulan some simple characters?"

Daya's eyes brightened: "It's possible!"

At that moment, the three of them stopped picking up the manure and ran to Xu Yulan's house with their baskets.

The Xu Dahe brothers were outsiders and there was no large piece of residential land given to them, so the two brothers' homes were not together, but they were not far apart, just across a forest of cemeteries.
