The young couple from the farm fights back
Chapter 22 Aunt Hu Comes to Thank You
Jiang Li dug up the ridge of the irrigated field and found that the water coming from the ditch was extremely slow. He followed the water source all the way and finally got so angry that his head almost fell off.
Zhou Laosan, that bastard, didn't dare to harm the rice in the field. Instead, he resorted to some devious methods, filling up the ditch leading to the two acres of land and pressing it with big rocks.
Jiang Li used the strength of an old ox to move the big rock. He was so tired that he fell to the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If I hadn't been able to eat my fill these past few days, I wouldn't have had the energy to do such heavy work. My anger towards the Zhou family was rising rapidly.
Lin took her two daughters-in-law to the mountain, but found nothing. She returned home exhausted and sweating, her face ashen with depression.
Wang sat slumped on the porch, fanning herself with her hands. "Mother, could it be that the yams Jiang dug were found on another mountain?"
Mrs. Xiaolin was also very tired. She didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off her face. She picked up her daughter and fed her.
"Mom, I think what my second sister-in-law said is right. So many of us went up the mountain, but we didn't see anyone digging up yams."
Lin was extremely depressed: "What a scheming bitch! How dare you play tricks on me, Wang."
"Mom, I'm here." Wang couldn't even breathe because her throat was full of sparks.
"Keep a close eye on that bitch Jiang these days and see which mountain she goes to."
"..."
How to watch? Wouldn't it be easy to be discovered if I followed you?
But she did not dare to disobey her mother-in-law: "Okay mother, your daughter-in-law can save you the trouble."
Lin was tired and hot, and was feeling irritated. When she turned around and saw Lin holding a dead girl, feeding her with her back to her, she immediately became furious.
"Eat, eat, eat! Why should a little girl be fed so much every day? No wonder the family has been eating so much food recently. From today on, you two can only eat half a bun a day."
Wang:......
"Mother~"
As soon as Wang uttered a complaint, she was frightened by Lin's angry eyes and couldn't help feeling a little resentful towards Lin.
Xiao Lin was too aggrieved to dare to turn around. She held back the tears in her eyes and looked at the little girl in her arms.
She didn't know why her aunt disliked Baozhu. Baozhu was obviously her granddaughter, and her fourth sister was also a girl. Why couldn't her aunt treat Baozhu equally and be nicer?
Jiang Li was busy in the fields until afternoon. He was relieved only after seeing that the rice in the fields were irrigated with water. He also weeded the fields. When the sun was setting, he was exhausted and picked up his hoe to go home.
Zhou Chunfeng wrote the character "丰" (Feng) at home today. He cut the red paper he bought yesterday into three sizes: large, medium and small. He wrote hundreds of "丰" (Feng) in succession, and his wrist was so sore that he could hardly hold the pen.
He had just finished tidying up the red calligraphy on the table when he heard footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw Jiang Li coming back from the field.
He couldn't help but frown, put down the red words in his hand, stood up and walked forward to support Jiang Li's shaking body.
Seeing her pale face and sweat on her forehead, he quickly put down the hoe for her: "Did you get a heat stroke?"
"should be."
"Come in." Jiang Li's current appearance made Zhou Chunfeng feel a pang in his heart.
Logically speaking, it should be him, the man of the family, who should do the work in the fields.
Jiang Li sat down on the bench next to the small table, squinting his eyes and relaxing for a long time, while the three boys on the kang kept calling out.
"Mother~, Mother~"
Zhou Chunfeng turned around when he heard the sound, glanced at the three children on the kang bed, and gestured to Heng Ge'er, "Stay on the bed and watch over your little brother. Don't get down."
Heng Ge'er was startled by his father's sudden cold face and stopped timidly: "Okay~"
"Sit down first."
Jiang Li nodded, supported her forehead with one hand, closed her eyes and calmed down.
Zhou Chunfeng turned and walked out of the house. After a while, he poured a bowl of warm water from the small kitchen and said, "Drink some water."
Jiang Li raised her eyelids, looking listless.
Zhou Chunfeng noticed that her hands were covered with several thin cuts and mud. His eyes narrowed again and he pursed his lips with a heavy expression.
Jiang Li took a sip of water and looked at him in surprise: "Added sugar and salt?"
"Well, drink it quickly."
Jiang Li finished a whole bowl of homemade saline solution. Perhaps because she was too thirsty earlier, she finally breathed a sigh of relief after drinking the water.
She put down the bowl, and Zhou Chunfeng brought in a basin of water from outside and placed it on the table. "Wash your hands."
Jiang Li did as she was told, intending to soak her hands before rubbing them. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunfeng took the initiative to wash her hands.
At this moment, Jiang Li finally noticed that his expression was not right. She raised her eyebrows in confusion and heard him say again.
"Don't go to the fields tomorrow. I'll go."
Jiang Li looked at him in surprise: "No, your body needs to recuperate for a few more days, otherwise all the previous recuperation will be wasted."
Seeing him pursing his lips and not saying anything, Jiang Li had no idea what was wrong with this guy.
In the past, when the two of them were fighting to the death, he hated to torture her to death. When did he become so kind-hearted?
"It's just heatstroke, I won't die." Is this guy afraid that she will die and leave him alone to fight alone in the book?
Still didn't speak.
"Otherwise, after the foundation is laid, I will stay home and cook for the villagers while you go to the fields."
Zhou Chunfeng's expression seemed to ease a little after hearing this: "Okay."
There are still two days before the foundation is laid, so it will be soon.
"I saw the Ganoderma lucidum you picked today. It can be exchanged for at least dozens of taels of silver. Don't go up the mountain for the next few days. Sleep a little longer in the morning."
Somehow, Jiang Li found it difficult to adapt to Zhou Chunfeng's change in painting style.
However, a warm feeling flowed through my heart: "Okay."
She was planning to do this, and she found good stuff in the mountains one after another, which would attract people's attention.
The eldest branch has just branched out independently and has not yet established a firm foothold. It would not be a good thing if it offends any [divine gold] because of this.
"Hey, the Chunfeng family is here~"
Zhou Chunfeng poured out the water in the basin outside the house and saw Aunt Hu and Zhao coming towards him with smiling eyes.
Zhao was carrying a basket on her back, with a few large cabbages and a few white radishes as big as her arms on top.
"Inside." Zhou Chunfeng replied calmly
Aunt Hu laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
Jiang Li just came to the kang bed and picked up Anger, and saw Aunt Hu and her daughter-in-law come into the room, so she let the child go back to bed to play with his two brothers.
"Chunfeng's family."
"sister in law."
"Auntie, sister-in-law, you're here." Jiang Li politely stepped forward and greeted them, "Please sit down."
The only table at home that can accommodate guests is the one by the door.
Aunt Hu didn't sit down. She eagerly took Jiang Li's hand and said, "Oh, why are you being so polite to me? You must be exhausted today. I heard that you came back from the mountains and went straight to work in the fields."
Jiang Li knew the purpose of Aunt Hu's visit and said with a smile, "My master has just recovered and I thought I'd let him recuperate for a few more days. If he doesn't, he'll be exhausted and I'll have to rely on him to work in the fields alone."
Aunt Hu liked Jiang Li's honest character, and she smiled and nodded, signaling her daughter-in-law to put down the basket.
"Today, Auntie came here specially to thank you two. Auntie and your second uncle will remember your support for our family."
Aunt Hu's husband, Uncle Zhou Er, was a relative of the Zhou family for several generations, but as their descendants rarely visited each other, they gradually became as distant as ordinary clan members.
"Look at what Auntie said. We are all from the same village. In the end, you and Second Uncle are our relatives and elders, right?"
After hearing what Jiang Li said, Aunt Hu felt relieved. She had really misjudged Zhou Lao Da's family in the past. They were not dull at all. They were obviously a smart couple.
At this time, the room was full of women. Zhou Chunfeng went to the small kitchen opposite to light a fire and boiled a pot of hot water for Jiang Li to wash.
Zhao placed the bamboo basket on the table and took out a few large cabbages and white radishes from the surface. Under the basket, she found a large grass carp and a piece of top-quality pork belly.
"Your second uncle and I don't have anything good to give you. From now on, we are a family and we won't talk behind each other's backs. If you have any problems, just come to aunt. If your second uncle doesn't take care of it, I will."
Jiang Li was looking forward to hearing Aunt Hu's words. She nodded happily, "Aunt, you and Second Uncle are so thoughtful. In this way, the head of the family and I will not be worried about not having a close elder in the village and the clan in the future."
"Hey, what are you talking about? With me and your uncle Zhou Er here, and that brat Dashuan here, no one will look down on you and Chunfeng anymore."
"Thank you, Aunt and Uncle."
The women exchanged a few words, clarifying the future relationship between the two families.
