The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

That night, Zou Yanming and the two servants he brought with him stayed at Zheng's house.

Before going home, Xu Yingtao apologized to the two elders: "Grandpa and grandma, I am really sorry for causing you trouble. All the food and drink expenses of Mr. Zou in your house are charged to me."

Mrs. Zhou said unhappily, "Why are you being so formal with us, girl? We've already said we're family, and the big buyer is here to give us money. We can't wait to welcome him, let alone cause trouble."

Village chief Zheng also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Then, Mrs. Zhou's expression became more serious, and she lowered her voice and said, "Cherry, there is something I need to tell you. Your aunt's good life has only lasted a few days, and she has started to get cocky again."

She is now in charge of all the women in the workshop. If it were someone else, she would have scolded them, but Chen is Xu Yingtao's aunt after all, and one has to look at the owner before beating the dog, so she has to be informed no matter what.

After a while, Xu Yingtao learned the whole story and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, I'll go and give her a lesson tomorrow after Mr. Zou leaves."

Because of Zhang Xiaohua's existence, the family of four has now become five.

She followed the four people at the end of the team and returned to the small hut at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised.

This place doesn't look as good as her house.

But she didn't feel any contempt at all.

Not to mention that she has now sold herself into slavery, what's more, her master's ability to be on par with wealthy businessmen, this ability and courage made her dare not show the slightest disrespect.

It was not until Zhang Xiaohua saw the big golden eagle strolling in the yard with her own eyes that she finally understood what "feed the eagle" meant. She was so shocked that she was speechless.

My God, there are such big birds in the world, and their eyes are so fierce that they can scare people to death!

However, the next moment, the golden eagle saw Xu Yingtao and immediately rushed towards her in a running posture that was almost as cute as a penguin.

All the domineering aura disappeared in an instant, leaving only hilarious absurdity.

In the past, Xu Yingtao would have been so scared that she would have run away.

But now I have become accustomed to the eagle's behavior and understand that it has no ill intentions. Instead, I dare to touch its head boldly.

It's strange to say, the arrow wound on the golden eagle's wing had healed long ago, but for some reason it never spread its wings to soar into the sky, but instead lived its life like a free-range chicken.

Every day, he eats and sleeps, and when he has nothing to do, he takes a walk in the yard to eat. He can also guard the house at the same time. When it gets dark, he will take the initiative to go into the chicken coop, and no one needs to worry about him at all.

It’s just a matter of carving the six words “I don’t want to work hard anymore” on my forehead.

Xu Yingtao touched the golden eagle's slippery feathers and pointed at Zhang Xiaohua, saying, "Xu Youqian, she will be part of our family in the future, you are not allowed to scare her, do you hear me?"

Xu Youqian was the name she gave to the golden eagle some time ago.

Originally, I wanted to choose an auspicious name like "招财" (attract wealth) or "进宝" (bring treasure), but Jiang said that this would clash with the younger generations of the eldest family, which was not good.

As a person who is not good at naming, Xu Yingtao racked her brains and finally decided on the name "Youqian", which embodies her good wishes.

Once a person gives an animal a name, it means they have a bond with it, not to mention that she gave it her own surname.

This shows how much Xu Yingtao values it.

Of course, there is a deeper reason, which is that this golden eagle is so smart.

It is so smart that Xu Yingtao wants to adopt it as her eldest son.

Not only can it understand human language, but it can also read people's facial expressions. When it is in a good mood, it will run to the vegetable garden behind the house to help catch insects.

As a bird of prey that feeds on large and medium-sized birds and beasts, it actually went to catch insects. This was so outrageous that Xu Yingtao suspected that it had been taken over by a chicken.

Under Zhang Xiaohua's astonished gaze, Xu Yingtao led her into her own room and explained, "Our new house is under construction, right next to the village chief's house. The conditions are limited right now, so you can squeeze in with me first."

As she spoke, she moved her pillow to the inside of the bed, took out a new quilt and pillow from the cupboard, and spread them on the outside of the bed.

These quilts were newly made by Jiang at home a few days ago. Now that she no longer has to worry about her livelihood, Xu Yingtao didn't feel any pain in buying white cotton at three hundred coins per pound.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I, no, I, my servant can just sleep on the floor!"

She was a slave, so how could she share a bed with her master?

Xu Yingtao, who had always been smiling, suddenly became serious: "Xiaohua, from now on, don't call yourself a slave in front of me. If you want, you can call me sister. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can call me Xiao Dongjia like everyone else. In our family, we only respect age and closeness, not status."

Although she didn't know whether she would be assimilated by this world in the future, at the moment, she really couldn't accept others degrading themselves to the title of slave in front of her.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's eyes full of horror, Xu Yingtao continued, "You won't be able to digest it if I say too much. Anyway, you should treat this place as your home from now on. I don't have any requirements for you. Just be diligent and don't play tricks. I will pay you 600 coins a month. If you do a good job, you will get a bonus at the end of the year. If you don't want to work anymore, just tell me and I will return your indenture to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jiang calling her from the kitchen: "Cherry, come here."

"I'm here." Xu Yingtao responded crisply, and quickly cleared out an empty box. "This is yours. Put your things in order first. If you have any questions, ask me again."

After saying this, he quickly walked out of the wing room, passed through the main room, and went straight to the kitchen.

Zhang Xiaohua stood there, unable to recover for a long time.

Did she hear wrongly?

No need to call yourself a slave, no matter who you are, you will get 600 coins a month, and you can return the contract if you don't want to work anymore...

Is there such a good thing in the world?!

She didn't quite believe it.

But my heart started beating faster and faster because of these beautiful and dreamy descriptions.

She subconsciously murmured to herself: "Mom, could it be that my daughter has really met a good family?"

In the past, whenever she felt helpless and afraid, Zhang Xiaohua would subconsciously call out "Mom". That was the only person in the world who had ever given her warmth, and it was the only strength that supported her to survive.

But today, she is left with only confusion.

In the kitchen, Jiang looked at the two large iron pots standing in the corner, her face also confused.

Without saying a word, Xu Yingtao installed the two iron pots on the new stove that had been built a few days ago, and adjusted the sizes.

"Perfect." Xu Yingtao patted the dust off her hands, scooped water to clean the two pots, and said with a smile, "Mom, please light a fire, let's make water for Xiaohua to take a bath."

She had been close to the little girl before and could clearly smell the sour smell of sweat on her body. She was crying, making a fuss and struggling today, so it was inevitable that she was sweating.

Jiang naturally had no objection. While adding more firewood, she lowered her voice and asked, "Yingtao, how are we going to get along from now on?"

Xu Yingtao smiled: "Just get along with Xiaohua the same way you get along with Dongni."

Jiang suddenly realized.

That's too simple. It's just the way an aunt and her niece get along.

Then, Jiang thought of another matter, frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "What are you going to do about your aunt's mother?"
