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

The two eldest sons agreed when they heard it. Second Aunt didn't want their family to live a good life. If they found out where Second Aunt bought the seedlings, then everyone in the village would have to work for them for nothing.

Zhao Cunliang encouraged his two sons, saying, "We just need to find out where your second aunt bought the rice seedlings and buy them from her. That way, she won't have any to give to the men in the village.

Then everyone in the village will have to listen to us."

Zhao Cunliang felt unhappy when he thought about Yang Xiuying, a widow, who not only lived a good life after separating from the family but also won the support of the villagers. Yang Xiuying lived a good life after separating from the family. Doesn't this tell everyone that the Zhao family had oppressed and deprived her in the past?

How does this make the people in Murakami view themselves?

She must have come to me for help because she couldn't make ends meet. For the sake of her dead brother, I would ask someone to find a good family for her and the seven maids to marry into, and then I would reluctantly accept the betrothal gifts from the eight people, mother and daughter.

Last time, Zhao's mother and the old bachelor from the next village had already reached an agreement and received the deposit. I don't know what Yang Xiuying did to ruin such a great opportunity.

The three of them reached a consensus

"Then let's hurry up and look for them. They probably can't get far."

After the three of them had made an agreement, they went their separate ways. Zhao Cunliang went to the major teahouses in the city, as these were places where merchants from outside the Great Wall liked to inquire about news. Guangzong went to the market, as if merchants from outside the Great Wall brought seedlings, they might be sold at the market. Yaozu went to wander through the alleys nearby, as his mission was to find Xiuying's ox cart.

In an alley in the city, Taohua was so surprised that she couldn't speak when she saw the ox cart disappearing out of thin air. Xiuying put the ox cart in the newly opened savings function of the mall, and took her daughter to find the livestock market, bought a cow and two donkeys, bought some daily necessities, and left the city with her daughter.

Zhao's father and son searched for Xiuying until noon, but they still couldn't find her in Nanyang City.

Yaozu hadn't eaten all day and started complaining, "Dad, why haven't we found Second Aunt all morning?"

Guangzong also lost his patience. "Could Second Aunt have already gone home? Could she have discovered us and brought us here on purpose? In fact, she has already returned to the village with the rice seedlings?"

Zhao Cunliang looked at his son and smiled coldly: "Your Second Aunt is stupid and dumb, how could she have discovered us? Even if she did, she wouldn't have the brains to do it!"

Then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Let's go back to the village."

……

Xiuying and Taohua took the rice seedlings they brought back from the ox cart.

"Mother, I'll bring these seedlings into the house for you. When you're done, take them out and notify everyone to come get them."

Xiuying ate the mung bean cake and waved her hand, saying, "No need. Just put it on the winnowing basket in the yard. Go to the back of the house later and get all the sweet potatoes I put there a few days ago and put them together with these seedlings."

"good ."

A few days ago, the storage function of the space had not been activated, and Xiuying Sweet Potato piled up the extra sweet potatoes she bought behind the house. After a long time, the soil was damp and the sweet potatoes became moldy.

Taohua moved all the moldy sweet potatoes to the front yard, "Mother, I cut off the moldy parts."

Xiuying looked up at the moldy sweet potatoes and nodded: "Go and have a rest after you finish cutting. Remember to leave the gate open. Your uncle should be here soon."

"okay."

Taohua specially placed the seedlings and cut sweet potatoes at the gate of the yard, making it look like they were drying in the sun.

After noon, Zhao Cunliang took his two sons back to the village, avoiding the villagers working in the fields and coming to the hillside.

"Dad, what do you think that is?"

"Second Aunt is really stupid. She actually put the seedlings in such a conspicuous place."

"I was talking about that silly woman. I never thought you would believe me now."

Zhao Cunliang looked at the basket of rice seedlings drying in front of the house and laughed.

"Yang Xiuying is a fool. Now we can save money on buying rice seedlings."

Guangzong walked in front: "Dad, look, there is a big bowl of cut sweet potatoes." Guangzong was delighted. He heard that these sweet potatoes tasted good, but he didn't dare to ask his second aunt for them.

Yaozu followed and looked at the overflowing basin of sweet potatoes with joy: "Second Aunt is really silly. Not only did she prepare the seedlings for us, she also prepared such a big basin of food. She must be worried that we would go hungry. Hahaha..."

Pa~pa~

Zhao Cunliang hit the two big boys twice.

"Grandfathers, please keep your voices down. Don't let anyone hear you."

If someone saw me stealing Yang Xiuying's things, where would I put my face?

Guangzong and Yaozu covered their heads which were hurt

"Dad, if you hit us again you'll make us stupid."

"Dad, don't be nervous. After all, Second Aunt and we are family. Even if these things are given to us, it's nothing."

Zhao Cunliang looked at the sweet potato pieces cut into different sizes

"This can't be bad, right?"

Guangzong picked up a large basin of sweet potatoes and said, "Dad, how could these be bad? I've seen sweet potatoes grown by Taohua buried in the ground. These might be what Second Aunt used for seeds."

Yaozu has long wanted to taste what sweet potatoes taste like.

"Even if it's bad, you can still eat it. If the bacon at home is moldy, you can just wash it with hot water and eat it."

Zhao Cunliang thought about it and felt that what Yaozu said made sense. Even if the black flour steamed buns were moldy, they could just remove the moldy parts and eat them. The longer the bacon was stored, the more fragrant it would be. He had eaten it for so many years without any problem. His son was really smart.

"Take away all these seedlings and sweet potatoes."

The two older sons, one holding a sweet potato and the other holding the seedlings in a winnowing basket, went home secretly.

When she got home, Tian Guilan looked at the bowl full of food and smiled from ear to ear.

"Boss, you're really smart. Not only do we have food, we also have rice seedlings."

Tian Guilan suddenly asked worriedly, "What if we are discovered?"

Everyone in the village knew that Xiuying had purchased the drought-resistant rice seedlings and sweet potatoes from merchants outside the Great Wall.

Zhao Cunliang rolled his eyes at Tian Guilan and said in dissatisfaction, "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you say that your husband bought these rice seedlings and sweet potatoes from a merchant from outside the Great Wall? Do you think that merchant from outside the Great Wall only sells them to that widow and doesn't know how to make money?"

Tian Guilan gave Zhao Cunliang a thumbs-up with a flattering look on her face: "You are the smart one in charge. I made the right decision by marrying you!"

Yes, the merchant from outside the Great Wall was not a fool. He only sold it to Yang Xiuying.

"No!" Tian Guilan frowned. "What if that widow wants to report it to the police?"

Zhao Cunliang looked at his silly wife and shook his head: "If she wants to say that we stole it, she doesn't need to report it to the police, we will report it first and say that she is slandering us.
