"Don't be so stubborn. Didn't the third son and his daughter go into town yesterday? Did they go to sell their daughter but failed?"

"If you ask me, this is not a very decent thing to do."

Hu Cuihua was no longer in a hurry to pick up chestnuts. She walked over quickly and took her hand to teach her a lesson.

Qian Fengping was puzzled: "Sister Hu, why would I sell Zhizhi? My family is really struggling. We would rather sell our house and land than our children."

When these words were spoken, Hu Cuihua was also stunned.

Looking at Sister Qian’s expression, it doesn’t seem like she’s lying, right?

"It's all over the village. They say you didn't give the third son and his daughter food, and forced them to beg for food. You also want to sell your branches, or you'll divorce me."

Another aunt took over.

"Who spread this rumor? How could I do such a thing? Fang Tong and I are living a good life, and I love Zhizhi very much." Qian Fengping was really angry. How could someone say anything?

Fang Tong and Mrs. Lu had quarreled yesterday, but she was never told about it, so she really didn't know about it.

Hu Cuihua and the other person looked at each other and believed it a little.

"I don't know. It's all spread everywhere. It's okay if it's not true. Sister Qian, don't be angry. When I'm free, I'll help you find out."

Qian Fengping agreed and expressed her gratitude.

She was very angry. Even if she had a good temper, she couldn't let others bully her.

She took a pole to hit the chestnuts, and her hands moved with more force.

Don't let anyone catch the person who spreads the gossip, otherwise she will have a good talk with him.

Seeing her like this, Hu Cuihua and the other girl also felt embarrassed. They didn't dare to say much and just worked honestly.

Not far away, He had been secretly staring at this place for a long time.

In the Fang family, the old couple are planting winter wheat in the fields, and their two sons are still clearing land for Fang Lao San.

It’s not that the two sons are honest, but after Fang Jin tried to steal Hao Mingxiang last time, Fang Tong took the time out to come to the Fang family.

I have to have an explanation.

Since Fang Jin couldn't give the explanation, Fang Tong beat his two nephews in public.

Even when Old Lady Fang stepped in to stop it, it was of no use.

I told them at that time to just focus on the land reclamation.

Otherwise, if the eldest brother can't control his mouth and goes out to talk nonsense, then his younger brother will also be unable to control his mouth!

So He was the only one who went up the mountain to pick chestnuts. She was very tired and had become much darker in the past two days.

The girl Fang Qingya was still at home, pretending to be smart by holding a book in the yard from time to time. The head of the family even praised her for being smart.

It made her very angry.

But she didn't dare to bully anyone, so she set her sights on Qian Fengping!

After a while, the tree was almost plucked bare by the three men, and Qian Fengping had already filled most of the sacks.

Just put it on your back and change places.

She planned to pick up some more things before going back, as she couldn't carry any more.

He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and she was very enthusiastic: "Sister-in-law, why are you carrying such a heavy load by yourself? Let me help you lift it."

As he said this, he was about to touch the sack.

Having suffered a loss once, Qian Fengping reacted quickly. She turned around and put the sack behind her before looking at the basket in He's hand: "Don't bother. The basket in my sister-in-law's hand is not light, is it?"

He raised the basket in her hand and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. We just don't spend enough time together. You'll know as time goes by. Sister-in-law is a warm-hearted person."

Qian Fengping is not stupid.

Although the two of them became sisters-in-law only recently, they have always been from the same village.

Who doesn’t know who yet?

"Oh." Qian Fengping responded lightly and stopped talking, staring at her with her eyes wide open.

He was so nervous being looked at. Why didn't she follow the routine? Shouldn't she continue to be polite to her?

She smoothed her hair uncomfortably before speaking, "The third brother didn't come to pick chestnuts again? Didn't he go to work for Manager Zhou? Oh, this third brother, I have to have a good talk with him when we meet. Even though he's married into the family, he can't just rely on being a gigolo."

"Okay, then wait until my sister-in-law comes to my house later and tell her in person." Qian Fengping smiled, as if she really believed it.

He didn't dare to respond. When she met the third brother, it was not certain who would be the winner.

No, why did Qian Fengping feel so choked after speaking today?

"Then wait until we have time." Mrs. He laughed and quickly changed the subject: "Come to think of it, the third child wasn't lazy before. It was when Zhizhi's mother was alive, especially when she was pregnant, that the third child was very hardworking."

"I work odd jobs in the county during the day, and come home to wash clothes for my wife at night."

While speaking, he looked at Qian Fengping's expression.

She just didn't believe that any woman wouldn't feel uncomfortable when she heard how her man lived with someone else.

She had also heard the rumors in the village. He was hoping that Fang Nanzhi, that loss-making item, would be sold and the third brother would be divorced. That would really make her a laughing stock in the whole village.

"Really? That's because the old lady knows how to teach her son. Will my eldest brother wash your clothes after he finishes his studies?" Qian Fengping frowned. She didn't like He always talking about Zhizhi's mother.

What happened in the past is in the past, why keep saying it? If someone hears it, what will they think is going on?

He felt like she was having a heart attack. How could the head of the household wash her clothes? How could that be possible? She still had to wash the head of the household's feet after finishing her work every day.

It is because of this that He is obsessed with Zhizhi's mother.

She was the wife of a scholar, and everyone in the village looked up to her. But behind the scenes, she still had to serve her husband and take care of the children.

But Zhizhi's mother, a stinky refugee, was spoiled to the skies by Fang Lao San.

They are all daughters-in-law of the Fang family, why?

He suppressed her resentment, glanced at Qian Fengping, and inexplicably felt balanced.

This is also unlucky. She spent ten taels of silver to find a son-in-law, but still couldn't get a man? Fang Tong still pushed all the work to her?

"Your elder brother is a scholar and will take part in the provincial examination soon. How can he do women's work?" He tried to save face.

However, she didn't want to waste time talking. She would get so angry if she continued, so she decided to talk about business.

"Ahem, sister-in-law, oh, I didn't find many chestnuts here. The chestnuts I can bring back are not enough for two meals. My two sons are still clearing land for your family. Clearing land is hard work. You can't let them go hungry. What do you think -"

Before he could finish his words, Qian Fengping interrupted him.

"My sister-in-law is right. My two nephews have been exhausted recently. They are grown men, so how can this be enough for them to eat?"

She paused halfway through her speech.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he said, "If you ask me, the third child is deliberately making trouble for the two children. However, we just got married, so I dare not interfere too much."

Seeing her like this, He nodded.

She also felt that the third brother was resentful about being a son-in-law, so it would be strange if he could get along well with Qian Fengping.

"Well, nephew, you're working for my family, so why don't you have lunch at my house?" Qian Fengping continued, looking at the bamboo basket again: "Sister-in-law, why don't you put the chestnuts in your basket into my sack?"

What does that mean? He subconsciously wanted to hide the bamboo basket.

"Sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm going back to cook. I'm taking all our chestnuts down with me. You can grab some more with your empty basket. Come to my house with my two nephews at noon. After dinner, you can take the chestnuts away."

Qian Fengping spoke in a tone that seemed to indicate that everything was planned for her.
