The young couple from the farm fights back

The next day, Jiangli Courtyard.

Que'er and Heng'er, who had been practicing calligraphy for many days, welcomed their new teacher, their cousin.

The uncle is a well-educated elder in the Zhou family. It is not a problem for him to teach the children to write and recognize a few lines of poetry. After arriving on the island, the old man has been taking the conditioning prescription prescribed by Jiang Li. His body has become much healthier and his spirits have gradually returned to their former vigor.

Knowing that Jiang Li was concerned about the children's schoolwork, he volunteered to be their enlightenment teacher, for which Jiang Li was deeply grateful. There is nothing more unforgettable than the support of those around you in times of trouble.

Yuan Niang and Fang cleaned up a small room in the front yard and asked Ming Yang and other guards to make a few desks for the children.

On this day, the four older children, Que Ge'er, Heng Ge'er, Dabao and Ming Jie'er, sat at their desks in an orderly manner, and the sound of the Book of Songs that they recited in a catchy way could be heard from inside the house.

The two younger ones, Jingger and Anger, mostly looked for Aowu in the yard to play with him. Especially the tough Jingger, who had learned some tricks from somewhere, but he could ride on Aowu's back and play around like a horse.

Fang watched intently, fearing that Aowu would accidentally throw her son off his back, which frightened her to death.

Knowing that Jiang Li was recuperating in the house, Aunt Hu would bring her daughter-in-law Zhao to visit her every day.

The day before yesterday, Aunt Hu asked Yuan Niang to help her find the island owner to buy two plots of land. Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Ming Yang, knowing the island owner's intention, led Zhou Ershu and Da Shuan and his son to the two irrigated farmlands and handed the land deeds to Zhou Ershu.

After getting the land for growing crops, Uncle Zhou's family became anxious again, because the island owner asked Ming Yang and other guards to convey a message that the land was a gift from Changsheng Island to their family.

The people who have escaped from suffering after going through untold hardships only hope to live a stable life in the future. No one can be tempted by sudden good things, for fear that there is a huge trap hidden here.

Jiang Li was flattered when she learned of this, and she was also relieved that her second uncle's family had accepted the island owner's kindness, knowing that the island owner's generosity was due to her. The most urgent task was to plant the rice seeds quickly so that they could be harvested in time for the autumn harvest.

Jiang Li was half-lying on the soft couch, holding her awake daughter in her arms. Aunt Hu came forward to wipe the quilt off her. After all the hard work and travel, everyone was worried that she would not take good care of herself after the confinement and would develop a chronic illness in the future.

Whenever Aunt Hu thinks about the children's father whose life or death is uncertain, she feels heartbroken for them.

"Don't think about anything for the time being. Just stay at home and take good care of yourself. If Chunfeng comes back one day, you'll blame me and your second uncle for not taking good care of you and your mother."

Jiang Li smiled angrily and said, "Auntie is thoughtful."

Zhao, who was holding Erbao, said, "Sister-in-law, mother is right. The most important thing for a woman is to have a good confinement period after childbirth."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Jiang Li was willing to listen to advice, Aunt Hu and her daughter-in-law talked to her for a while and then returned to the next yard, for fear of disturbing her rest.

In the late afternoon, Jiang Li woke up from a nap and heard the door knock softly when he opened his eyes.

Jiang Li glanced at Lan Jie'er who was sleeping soundly beside him and said slowly, "Come in!"

The door opened gently, and Madam Yuan walked in slowly with a tray in her hand.

"My lady, the old hen soup is ready in the kitchen. I brought it to you."

"it is good."

Jiang Li was about to lift the quilt and stand up, but Yuan Niang saw this and hurried forward to stop her: "Madam, please lie down peacefully. You don't have to get up."

Jiang Li was slightly startled, and before she could speak, Fang followed her into the room and brought a small table.

Seeing this, Jiang Li smiled knowingly, and with the help of Yuan Niang, he sat down against the head of the bed and let her wipe the quilt for him.

Fang placed the small table in front of her and brought the food on the tray: "Madam, please enjoy your meal."

"Okay." Jiang Li took the porcelain spoon. Although the chicken soup in the bowl was steaming, it was not very hot. It must have been specially left to cool for a while before being served.

Seeing that she could eat, Yuan Niang smiled softly and said slowly, "Madam, several guards have brought back the urgently needed medicinal herbs as you instructed. I have put them away. I will carefully examine them after you have recovered."

"Okay." Jiang Li drank a few mouthfuls of soup, thinking about the battle in Yanzhou City, and couldn't help asking: "They have been to Duihai these days. Do you know which force is currently occupying the city?"

It would take a day or two to walk from the other side of Changsheng Island to reach Yanzhou Prefecture. A few days ago, Jiang Li heard Yuan Niang mention that the island had a herd of top-quality, thousand-mile horses, and a round trip would only take a few hours.

"To answer Lady Li, it's the Huai King's army. Yanzhou City has been swept through by the Huai Army, leaving the city in ruins and rubble, devoid of any civilian activity."

"The guards were afraid of being discovered by the Huai Army lurking in the city, so they didn't dare to show off. They found several herbal medicine shops that had been burned down and found a lot of herbs. They brought them back."

After Jiang Li heard this, his heart became quiet and clear.

Yanzhou City was still in the hands of the Huai Army, so the imperial Wang Army could not attack. Zhou Chunfeng didn't know when she would find the letter she left under the kang bed at home.

"Okay, thank the guards for me. They're so sorry for the trip."

"My lady, your words are too serious."

As Jiang Li and Yuan Niang were talking, Fang noticed a figure passing by the slightly open door. She then slowly stepped forward, lifted the beaded curtain, and walked out.

When she saw who was outside the door, Fang's eyes flashed with excitement. She turned back and said, "Madam, my master is back."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Niang, who was standing by, couldn't help but look outside. She had already been thinking about the boy who was left in the island pavilion by the island owner.

Jiang Li put down the soup spoon and said, "Okay, let Ming Ye come in."

Fang nodded in response.

Not long after, Ming Ye walked into the room, and through the beaded curtain, he clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Madam Li."

Jiang Li on the bed turned her head and glanced at him.

The man who was in high spirits many days ago now looked disheveled, unkempt, and his coarse clothes were covered with bloody whip marks.

It can be seen that he was blamed by the island owner.

Seeing this, Yuan Niang, who was standing beside the couch, lowered her red eyes slightly and remained silent.

Across the beaded curtain, Jiang Li's expression slowly softened as he asked calmly, "Is everything settled?"

Ming Ye lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, then suddenly knelt on his knees: "My dear lady, I beg you to allow my family to work beside you."

Ming Ye's words surprised Jiang Li greatly. The situation was completely beyond her expectations.

Yuan Niang and Fang Shi seemed to have guessed the seriousness of the matter. They both looked at Jiang Li nervously, their eyes filled with earnestness and pleading that could not be concealed.
