The young couple from the farm fights back

After the autumn harvest is the quietest time of the year. Most villagers only need to work in the vegetable garden, or go to the mountains to collect grass for pigs and chop firewood.

From afar, I saw Uncle Zhou Er and his son, and Boss Zhou, three men, passing by carrying loads of tree roots, and my eyes almost popped out.

"Wow, is this the iron stick yam that Mr. Zhou sold last time?"

"Oh my goodness, so many?"

"They seem to be coming back from Dian Qiao Mountain. Well, we've been wrong all along."

They had been trying their luck at Jiutou'ao all day, but it turned out that the treasure had been dug up on another mountain. As soon as the news spread, the whole village rushed to Dianqiao Mountain with hoes on their shoulders.

Aunt Hu was feeding Anger and Xiaobao steamed buns in the yard. When she saw her husband, son, and eldest brother bringing back bundles of yams, she was stunned.

"This, this, these are all yams?"

Jiang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is the best yam, purple yam."

"The best?" Aunt Hu took a breath, her voice a little stiff.

The best yam is worth so much money.

At this time, Yiheng brought Yijing out of the house. He hadn't seen his mother for a whole morning and missed her very much.

Jiang Li's hands were covered in mud. He nudged the two little guys' heads with his elbows and said, "The sun is scorching in the yard. Brother Heng, take your little brother back to the house."

"..."

The two little guys who had just come out went back into the house reluctantly with pouts on their faces.

The three men first went to the kitchen and drank a few bowls of cold tea to catch their breath.

Outside, Jiang Li washed his hands and said to everyone, "These things will attract too much attention if we bring them to town, so I thought, after lunch, I'll ask Chunfeng and Dashuan to go to town and bring the owner of the medicine shop."

Aunt Hu nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't take it to town by ourselves. Now is the busiest time. It would be terrible if we met a bad guy on the way."

"Old man, you and I will stay at Chunfeng's house until the two boys bring the person back. We can't leave anyone from the Chunfeng family at home guarding it."

Although it should be the safest place to live in the village, there are too many villagers from outside Shilitun. Many young men who have not found wives have nothing to do all day long, playing with chickens and dogs. It is common to see them stealing rice from one house today and stealing vegetables from another house tomorrow.

Today, the three men in the family brought back some yams from the mountain. I'm afraid the news has spread all over the village, so I didn't attract those bad boys.

"Okay." Uncle Zhou Er nodded in understanding.

Jiang Li didn't forget to instruct Zhou Chunfeng, saying, "When you go, bring a few with you. Tell the shopkeeper clearly how many we have. If the shopkeeper can't collect them all, find a few more and bring them all together. Try to sell them all today."

"it is good."

Jiang Li was not worried that the owner of the town's herbal medicine shop would not buy it, but he was worried that one owner would not be able to buy all of it. There were nearly eight large bundles of yam weighing more than 200 kilograms, which cost at least 100 taels of silver.

Thinking of the huge sum of money, Jiang Li was in great mood and took Zhao to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone.

Old Zhou's family.

When Mrs. Lin saw that her daughter brought back a fair-skinned young man who looked like the son of a wealthy family, she immediately asked Mrs. Wang to clean up a room for him to stay in, and took out some money to invite the barefoot doctor Wei from the village to treat the young man.

As expected, the old Taoist priest was not lying. Her precious daughter was the lucky star of the family. The life-saving grace was a huge reward. After the young man recovered, he would definitely marry her precious daughter to repay the favor.

Lin happily pulled Zhou Xingyue to the side corridor and asked, "Do you know which family this young man belongs to? Is his family wealthy?"

"Oh, mother~" Zhou Xingyue lowered her head with blushing cheeks.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Lin knew very well that the other young man was of great status, and their family must treat him well.

In fact, Zhou Xingyue had been quietly running to the riverbed behind Dianqiao Mountain before dawn these past few days to guard it. She remembered that in her previous life, she had overheard Ouyang Xuan chatting with the Second Prince about how, in his youth, he had been ambushed and eventually rescued by kind villagers in Shilitun by the riverbed.

As for why Ouyang Xuan chatted about this with the Second Prince, it was probably because the Second Prince talked about how he and his imperial concubine met. They suffered disaster in the same year, lived in the same village, but on different mountains. It was all fate that brought them together after drinking two glasses of wine.

Zhou Xingyue was not sure when Ouyang Xuan would have the accident, she only knew the approximate month, so she returned to the village this time to meet Master Ouyang.

In her previous life, she saved the Second Prince and gained his favor and grace. Zhou Xingyue believed that in this life, she saved Young Master Ouyang, and Young Master Ouyang would definitely regard her as a different woman, just like the Second Prince.

Zhou Xingyue thought about her experiences in her previous life, and she was determined to trap Master Ouyang in this life. Rather than being a princess of a fallen kingdom, it would be more appropriate for her to marry into the Ouyang family, a family of imperial merchants for several dynasties, and become the eldest lady.

The second prince was a good person, but what he gave her was only temporary happiness. She wanted forever, eternal wealth and glory, eternal noble status, and eternal companionship.

So in this life, she would never get involved in the royal family again. She just wanted to be a businessman's wife, nothing more.

The mother and daughter were arguing with each other when Wang came back in a hurry.

"Mom, it's not good, it's not good~"

Seeing Wang's reckless behavior, Lin frowned unhappily. There were distinguished guests at home at the moment. If she disturbed the distinguished guest who was recuperating in the house, she would definitely skin Wang alive.

Wang trembled all over when her mother-in-law glared at her. She slowed down her voice and spoke in a low voice.

"Mom, Dafang and his family dug up tons of yams again. They even brought Uncle Zhou's family along. Everyone in the village saw it. They had three huge loads of yams."

"What!" Lin jumped up immediately when he heard this.

Zhou Xingyue was so frightened that her face changed drastically. She quickly tried to comfort her mother: "Mom, please keep your voice down."

Lin reacted and tried her best to suppress her anger. She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Can you see clearly? Are there really three big burdens?"

"That's right." Wang replied in a low voice, "So, Jiang found the yam on Dianqiao Mountain. We went to the wrong place before. Now, everyone in the village is rushing to Dianqiao Mountain to dig yam."

Upon hearing this, Lin frowned and shouted in a low voice, "What are you still standing there for, you prodigal woman? Hurry up and go dig yams for me on the mountain with my second son."

Wang:......

It’s not impossible to go, but maybe it’s too late to go now.

Everyone in the village has already gone up the mountain. When she and the head of the village arrive at Qiaoshan, will there be anything good left for their family?

"What are you doing? You don't need to live anymore. Get out of here!"

Wang was frightened by her mother-in-law, and shuddered. She nodded repeatedly and went to find the man in charge of the family.

Three big loads, that means so many kilograms of good yam. How come the eldest daughter is so lucky that they got all the good stuff from the mountain?

Last time, Jiang picked up a small bundle and sold it for eight taels of silver. How much silver would the three large loads be worth?

When Lin thought about how the eldest wife had extorted fifteen taels of silver from her, she was so angry that she was about to explode.

Zhou Xingyue beside him was also stunned when she heard this. She thought, no wonder I saw the eldest brother in the mountains before. It turns out they went to the mountains to dig yams.

Cut~!

She was just relying on the luck of being a reborn prophet, but in her previous life, she had never heard of villagers digging up yams in the mountains. How come her elder brother and sister-in-law knew that there were good things in the mountains in this life?

No matter what, Zhou Xingyue would not look down on that little piece of junk. Once she and Master Ouyang fall in love with each other, she will have no worries about not having a good life.

Lin was resentful in her heart, but when she looked back at her daughter's shy and absent-minded look, that resentment was somewhat alleviated.

As long as their daughter marries into a good family, the Zhou family will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. No matter how good the first wife is, she can only make a living on the land all her life!
