Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Ma Ergun looked at the old village chief in astonishment. He had only cut down a tree. How could such a small matter have earned him expulsion from the village? Yesterday, he had been thinking of driving Yang Xiuying out of the village, but now he was the one being chased out.

Driven out and deprived of their land, how would they live? Who would cook for them? Who would wash their clothes? Most importantly, who would serve them?

The originally noisy courtyard became quiet.

Ma Ergun seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating. At this moment, he was really panicked.

Then his legs went weak and he knelt down in front of the old village chief and burst into tears.

"Old Village Chief, I can't leave Futian Village! I have lived in the village for decades, and you have watched me grow up! Even if you are willing to leave me, I can't bear to leave you.

In my heart, I respect you as my own father! How can a father kick his son out? How can you bear to let your son wander around alone?

Having lived in the village for so many years, I've developed feelings for every tree and blade of grass. I can't bear to leave everyone, and everything in Futian Village. I'm a Futian Villager in life, and a Futian Village ghost in death!

When Ma Ergun was brought in, the women in the village went to inform Ma Ergun's wife Wang Fuping. Wang Fuping happened to rush over and saw this scene.

Although the couple had a fight yesterday, when she saw her husband kneeling on the ground, crying and heartbroken, she softened her heart again.

Wang Fuping knelt behind her husband, wiped her tears and pleaded, "Old village chief, the head of the family made a mistake because of a moment of confusion. I apologize to everyone on his behalf. Please give him another chance."

Wang Fuping said this and kowtowed deeply to the old village chief.

The old village chief sighed. Ma Ergun's wife was a hardworking woman, but she was married to an unmotivated man. Ultimately, it was Futian Village that was sorry for this outsider woman.

"Ma Ergun is now damaging the collective interests of the village. He cut down the wild fruit trees on the mountain, which is a waste of food for everyone. For us farmers, food is our life!"

Wang Fuping knelt down and turned to the women in the village, clasping his hands together and begging.

"Dear brothers, uncles, aunts, and sisters, today's incident was caused by my second son, Ergun, who was dishonest. Please give him another chance. He will definitely not do it again. I promise you all here!"

Ma Ergun was deeply moved when he saw that his wife had put aside her dignity and came to ask everyone for help. Just as he was about to go forward to help Wang Fuping up, he saw Wang Fuping's fierce eyes sweeping towards him.

"You damned bastard, I never thought you could do such a wicked thing. I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!"

Ma Ergun's gratitude towards his wife disappeared, and he cursed in his heart

Shrew!

When the villagers saw that Ma Ergun looked like a useless person, they wanted to throw him out of the village immediately, but when they saw Ma Ergun's wife Wang Fuping, they felt a little sympathy.

Ma Ergun's family has three acres of farmland and five acres of land. All of this land is tended by Wang Fuping, a woman. She does heavy physical work in spring plowing and autumn harvest, just like men, but she has never complained of being tired.

On the other hand, Ma Ergun, a grown man, rested better than a woman during confinement.

The women in the village felt sorry for Wang Fuping and softened their hearts.

"Then give him another chance."

"If you do it again, you will be kicked out of the village."

Ma Ergun, kneeling on the ground, felt his face burning. He needed a woman to protect him when something happened. Now he not only lost face in the village, but also lost his prestige at home. How could he be the head of the family in the future!

All of this is Zhou Dazhu's fault. If he hadn't come to me to return the milk fruit, why would I have gone to Yang Xiuying's house to cause trouble?

I've been eating rice for a long time, so why am I kneeling here now! If it weren't for these things, I would be lying in bed at home, living a life of having food and clothing provided for me.

Wang Fuping thanked the women, lifted his man onto his shoulders, and yelled at the bewildered Ma Ergun, "Wait till I get home and see how I'll deal with you!"

Ma Ergun's face was burning hot, and his butt was also burning with pain.

This fierce woman has really strong hands.

I ended up throwing all the dirt on my face on the ground and couldn't even pick it up.

……

Yang Xiuying's family lived on a small hill behind Futian Village and had no idea what had happened in the village that morning.

"Mother, is this green fruit really edible?"

Taohua looked at the vegetable seedlings growing in the vegetable garden behind the house and said that they looked like trees but were not as thick and tall as trees. They were only about 30 centimeters tall. The strangest thing was that they had small green fruits on them.

While watering the vegetables in the garden, Yang Xiu said, "That's called a tomato. You can't eat it yet. When it grows a little bigger and matures, it will become a red fruit. It's sour and sweet and delicious. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are especially delicious."

When they heard about eggs, several children who were weeding in the vegetable garden swallowed their saliva. Everything tasted good when paired with eggs.

The eldest sister would boil an egg for each of them every morning. Eggs are not only delicious when boiled in water, but also when steamed or fried with leeks.

Anyway, nothing tastes bad as long as it is with eggs.

No wonder grandma used to hide the eggs, and even my four cousins could only get one.

Yang Xiuying explained to the children who had never seen tomatoes before, "Tomatoes taste almost like fruit. Besides being scrambled with eggs, you can also pickle them with sugar. It makes an extremely delicious dessert, and the pickled soup is delicious."

Especially the taste of iced tea in summer, which is cool, sour and sweet.

When the children heard about Baitang and looked at their mother who was intoxicated, they simply stopped asking questions.

White sugar is more precious than eggs. Even the rich people in the city have to leave some for themselves. It is also an extremely rare and precious thing in the whole Dayan. It would be a pity to pair it with tomatoes.

The children thought Yang Xiuying was just talking. After all, how could their mother have ever eaten sugar?

They were filial and could not refute their mother. Some were weeding, some were watering, and some were loosening the soil. They all got busy.

Yang Xiuying put a handful of seeds in Taohua's hand and said, "These are seeds from outside the Great Wall. Let's find a place with fertile soil and spread the seeds."

When Taohua heard that these were seeds from outside the Great Wall, she understood that they were among the treasures.

They have already planted a lot of vegetables, but the more food the better. There are eight people in their family. Even if they can't finish eating them, they can dry them and store them. They can stir-fry them, cook them into soup, or make vegetarian dumplings in the winter.

No one will complain about having too much food. If you have food stored at home, you won’t feel anxious.
