Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The night passed.

Silang packed the last batch of pottery at home and called Wulang to go into the city together.

Xiaoliu rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Mom, are these locusts raised to be eaten?"

The gauze bag was placed in a basket and hung on the wall. After eating, the cicadas always wanted to escape. Dozens of them gathered in the house and it was quite noisy.

Lin went to bed late last night because she was thinking about something, and there was a hint of blue in her eyes.

"These locusts have other uses. If you want to eat them, I'll catch some more and fry them for you."

Although locusts are pests, they are also a good source of protein. Similar to silkworm pupae, they are delicious whether steamed, boiled, roasted or fried. They can also be dried and ground into powder to feed chickens.

However, once locusts gather in swarms, they will secrete a toxin in their bodies, and then they cannot be eaten.

After breakfast, Lin and Cui Zhaozhao took two taels of silver and took Silang and Wulang out.

Cui Zhaozhao stayed at home because they were going to plant seeds in the fields today.

Cui Chengliang was unable to go because neither Lin nor Silang wanted him.

Thinking of Shiro's smug look, he felt extremely depressed.

"Uncle San, you should stay at home and farm. You are not suitable for business. You will only make Aunt San angry."

This brat, after earning money for just two days, he's already leaning towards the Lin family.

Cui Chengliang squatted on the ridge of the field, pulling weeds intermittently.

Before leaving, Si Lang specifically reminded him, "Uncle San, stay home and farm honestly. Don't chat with Widow Qin about anything else. If you make any more mistakes, Aunt San and I will ignore you."

Is he that kind of person?

No big or small.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Dazhi leaned in close and stared at him for several times. "That's not right. Weren't you supposed to go into town with Third Sister-in-law this morning? Why didn't you go today?"

Old man Cui straightened up with the help of his hoe and glanced at him with disdain.

He discovered it yesterday that the two of them had a quarrel when they were about to go into the city.

He can't even coax his wife, bringing shame to the Cui family.

"It's nothing. We need people to work in the fields." Cui Chengliang turned his face away.

Old Man Cui: “Haha.”

Dazhi looked at Old Man Cui, then sat down next to Cui Chengliang.

"Did you have a fight with your third sister-in-law?"

"No."

Dazhi didn't believe it: "Your mouth is harder than the stone under the big locust tree. You have lost your soul and you still say that there was no quarrel. It must be you who made the third sister-in-law angry, so she won't take you into the city."

Cui Chengliang lowered his head and broke the clod of earth: "I don't want to go into the city yet."

Old Man Cui couldn't stand it anymore and walked away shaking his head.

"Yo yo yo." Dazhi suppressed his laughter. "Third brother, you have ambition. You may not be good at other things, but you are good at farming. Who cares about sons and daughters-in-law? Third brother, you will farm for the rest of your life. If your sister-in-law makes money in business in the future, we won't be jealous."

Cui Chengliang punched him.

"What's wrong with farming? You can eat what you sow, and you feel at ease when you have food in your stomach."

He felt that his life was pretty good now. He lived peacefully in the village. No one discovered his tricks, and there was no competitive pressure. He went to work during the day and slept at dusk.

Dazhi was quite envious of his third sister-in-law's business skills. His family had been farmers for eighteen generations, and he heard that they could earn much more from doing business than from farming.

"By the way, what's going on between you and Third Sister-in-law? I guess you've gotten used to being alone these past few years. Let me tell you, a couple can't just ignore their quarrel. You have to find out where the problem lies."

Some people are careless, while others are meticulous.

Dazhi belongs to the latter. Although he speaks carelessly, he is smart in thinking.

Cui Chengliang sighed and recounted what happened yesterday.

"...I didn't do anything, I just said one thing, and yet everyone, big and small, is finding fault with me. Please tell me what I did wrong."

Ever since he came here, he rarely spoke, let alone had affairs with other girls, for fear that others would notice him.

Widow Qin was raising the child alone, and the mother and daughter were unable to do the heavy work. Occasionally, he would lend a hand, but he never said a word to her, and even avoided Widow Qin's house.

Widow Qin's life was indeed not easy, and he was not wrong.

Dazhi pressed his forehead, his expression indescribable.

"If I remember correctly, it seemed that Widow Qin was the first to discover Li Zi. Don't you think there's something fundamentally wrong with her?"

At that time, the whole village was almost starving to death. Widow Qin kept it a secret from the whole village and didn't tell anyone. If it weren't for the third sister-in-law finding out, most of the villagers would have starved to death.

Cui Chengliang didn't know what to say: "Maybe he's just too hungry. Well, what others do is none of our business."

"She's going to watch us starve to death, and it's none of our business? Did that woman fool you?!"

Dazhi really wanted to slap him to wake him up and find out what was going on in his mind.

No wonder the third sister-in-law was angry, he is also angry now.

Cui Chengliang waved his hand away: "Can we still catch her and beat her up? She might be a little selfish. We just need to live a good life. Now that we know what kind of person she is, we should stay away from her in the future."

Dazhi rubbed his face, feeling a little tricky.

I don’t know if my third brother has been living alone for too long and is not used to having another wife.

The third brother is definitely not a bad person, it’s just that when facing problems, he did not stand with the third sister-in-law.

"I understand." Dazhi stood up. "The autumn harvest is coming soon. Widow Qin can't handle it alone. How about I lend a hand? Your sister-in-law can finish the harvest by herself with the children anyway."

Cui Chengliang's eyes widened. "How could you do this? Your family can handle it, but there are only two of us, including my brother and sister-in-law. After harvesting six acres of land, we are exhausted."

Dazhi shrugged. "They can finish it if they work hard. It won't delay anything. The widow Qin is the poor one. She doesn't even have a son."

Cui Chengliang's throat was thick with anger. "What does it have to do with you whether Widow Qin is pitiful or not? You've exhausted your sister-in-law to death, and you just happened to marry Widow Qin? I think you've been fooled!"

"Three people can take a break at noon, but two people can't even have time to drink water. How dare you say that?"

"Don't you understand everything? Why can't you see clearly when it's your turn?" Dazhi sat down contentedly.

"What do you mean?" Cui Chengliang was confused.

"What happened to you yesterday is exactly the same as what happened to me. Because Third Sister-in-law and Silang thought of a solution in advance, they didn't let Widow Qin take away the business. If you speak up for Widow Qin, isn't that the same as ignoring your own business and focusing on helping outsiders?"

Cui Chengliang was stunned.

If we put this situation on Dazhi, there seems to be some problems.

"But I didn't help her."

"You two are one. You're wrong for not helping your sister-in-law scold her. If it were me, I would have given her everything."

Cui Chengliang said awkwardly, "This isn't very good."

Dazhi said with a stern face: "Whoever bullies my wife and children is bullying me, Dazhi. What's good or bad about it? If you don't help Third Sister-in-law, then Widow Qin will think you are interested in her. There must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"Okay, I see."

Cui Chengliang realized his problem, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Dazhi was right, he should indeed stand with the Lin family.

Although they are only nominally married, he should stand on the side of the Lin family because they are fellow countrymen who traveled through time.

Widow Qin has relatives, so why should she feel pity for him?

Dazhi sat beside him and noticed a figure walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

What you say comes true.

"Hey, Third Brother, they're here to find you."

Cui Chengliang raised his head and saw Widow Qin walking towards him from a distance.
