The young couple from the farm fights back

Zhou Xingyue glanced at the curtain in front of her with resentment on her delicate and beautiful face.

Zhou Laoer's silly words came through the curtain in random bursts. Zhou Xingyue didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. She felt choked up and nauseous.

She had clearly hidden in the town, so how could I send my second son to pick her up and take her back to Shilitun? Zhou Xingyue could guess what was going on with her toes.

This day in her previous life was the day she met the Second Prince. The Second Prince fell in love with her at first sight and did not care about her humble country background. He insisted on falling in love with her and promised her the position of his future wife.

At the time, she had no idea of the Second Prince's identity. It wasn't until two years later, when the imperial court sent a grand reception for her, that Zhou Xingyue learned that the man she had secretly betrothed to two years earlier was actually the most distinguished prince in the imperial city. She had instantly become the envied consort of a prince, the envy of every woman in the world.

However, in this life, Zhou Xingyue no longer wants to have anything to do with the royal family. She has obviously changed the node, why?

It was inevitable that the second prince would be discovered on the mountain, but why was it the third prince who discovered him? Could it be that - could it be that even the third prince was reborn?

When Zhou Xingyue thought of this possibility, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand in anger. Since God had given her a second life, he naturally didn't want her to repeat the same mistakes.

The third brother has been reborn, but even if he has selfish motives, he should not involve his sister. He should know that no one in the royal family has a good end, so how dare the third brother!

Zhou Xingyue was so angry that she bit her lips. She felt a stuffy pain in her chest every time she breathed. She raised her hand to lift the curtain of the car window, wanting to take a sip of the cold wind outside the car, but unexpectedly, she saw a carriage rushing past in the opposite direction.

Because the carriage was going too fast, the muddy ground was slippery with fallen snow and bumpy, and the carriage was shaking and swaying, and a corner of the curtain of the opposite carriage was lifted by the wind.

It was this lifted corner that allowed Zhou Xingyue to recognize the person in the car, the Second Prince Chu Ling, who was leaning against the wall and resting with his eyes closed.

This glance was like a stone, thrown heavily into Zhou Xingyue's heart.

At this time, Chu Ling's face was pale and he looked disheveled, but he still couldn't hide the majesty of the royal family.

Xingyue couldn't stop her heart from trembling and panicking. The trembling was because the man opposite her was the man she loved deeply in her previous life, and the panic was naturally because she didn't want to fall into the abyss again.

Zhou Xingyue quickly concealed the moisture in her eyes and hurriedly lowered the curtain. At the same time, Chu Ling in the carriage opposite suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't care about the figure that flashed by. The injuries on his body became more and more uncomfortable due to the bumpy ride of the carriage. Chu Ling endured the severe pain in his body and looked at his confidant opposite him with a stern look.

"Don't alarm Father about this matter. Investigate the person behind last night's assassination as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness." The confidant Jiachun nodded in response, a dark look flashing across his expressionless face. "Your Highness, I think it was inappropriate to rescue the farmer you saved today."

He was clearly just an ignorant peasant, yet he was able to pass the message to His Highness in time when he was unconscious.

It can be seen that the other party is definitely not an ordinary farmer, it is more likely that -

Upon hearing this, Chu Ling sneered, "He's just a greedy man with no vision. Don't take him seriously. If he were truly the assassin who wanted to kill this prince, how could he have missed such an opportunity?"

Therefore, Jiachun was suspicious about this point, but what his master said was not unreasonable.

If this person was really an assassin sent by the mastermind behind the scenes, how could he miss the opportunity to kill His Highness while he was unconscious? He was really being too suspicious, thinking that such a snake and rat could be dealt with with a mere two hundred taels of silver.

Zhou family courtyard.

In the afternoon, Zhou Chunfeng took advantage of the pause in the snow to chop firewood in the yard. Little Aowu circled around him, raising his little neck and howling from time to time.

The villagers of Shilitun had long spread the rumor that there was a wolf cub raised in the Zhou family's main courtyard. Now, no matter who passed by the door of the Zhou family's small courtyard, they couldn't help but shiver, or whisper a few words about the Zhou family's small courtyard through the door.

Jiang Li came back carrying a full basket of chicken grass. From a distance, he saw several aunties and sisters passing by their yard. They almost spit at their door. When they turned around and saw Jiang Li, they hurriedly pulled each other and quickened their pace to leave.

Jiang Li felt quite helpless about this. Their family's adoption of a wolf cub did indeed make the villagers fearful. But on second thought, it wasn't a bad thing for their family. Having the little creature around was like helping to guard the house.

Jiang Li had just walked to the door when she heard a strange and warm voice behind her: "Big girl, big girl~"

Hearing this, Jiang Li frowned and turned around to see a middle-aged couple in their forties, dressed in thin clothes, jogging towards him with their hands in their pockets and smiling faces.

"Look at the girl! She's really changed after not seeing her for a year." The middle-aged man said, turning to the woman beside him, "Look at how successful the girl and her husband have become. They built such a nice house. They spent a lot of money on it."

"That's right." The woman said as she sniffed her red nose from the cold. Because of their thin clothes, the couple shivered with their necks hunched in from the cold.

Big girl?

Jiang Li's gaze tightened as she once again examined the middle-aged couple before her. She quickly thought of her former self, Jiang's uncle and aunt. In their early years, Jiang's uncle and aunt, along with her eldest uncle's family, had moved to a village a few miles away to make a living. Compared to her eldest uncle's family, their life wasn't exactly hardship. She also learned that their son worked as a porter at the town's docks, and had later been recognized by the steward and appointed his assistant.

The family lived better than many other families in the village. Now he ran back to Shilitun to find her, perhaps because he heard about the changes that had taken place in their eldest family in recent months.

"Uncle San, Aunt San."

"Hey~" Finally heard Jiang Li calling for help, Uncle Jiang didn't care about the indifference on Jiang Li's face, and reached out to push open the gate.

"You two are living well now, but why didn't you tell me, your uncle, that you should have asked your relatives to come and help when building the house?"

Aunt Jiang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, your uncle and I just heard about you two a few days ago, so we hurried over to take a look. You and your husband are still young, with three little ones to take care of. You don't think things through very well, and it would be impossible without the support of the elders. Your uncle and I heard that your eldest family relies on you to go to the mountains to collect herbs, so that we can live a good life. When you go up the mountain again in the future, take your uncle and me with you, or call your younger brother back to help. When you sell the yams, have your uncle and younger brother watch over you so that no one can cheat you."

Jiang Li's face darkened and he stood in front of Uncle Jiang San, preventing him from touching the gate of his house.

Uncle Jiang's movements froze, and he looked at Jiang Li in confusion, his brows knitted in displeasure. "Big girl, what's wrong with you? Your Third Aunt and I have come all this way here, why don't you open the door and let us in? If outsiders pass by and see us, they'll say that you, the eldest family, have delayed your relatives and elders. That's not good."

"Relatives and elders, are you worthy enough to be called that?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows jokingly and looked at Uncle Jiang.

"You—" Uncle Jiang was choked by the retort, his face flushed red. "What are you talking about, girl?"

The smile on Aunt Jiang San's face froze. "Big girl, could it be that you two have made a lot of money and forgotten about us poor relatives?"

Jiang Li rolled her eyes internally. In the book, Third Uncle Jiang and his wife were always willing to help the Jiang family for a profit. They hadn't been any better to the Jiang family than the Lin family before. Now, they were clinging to her, saying they were worried about their eldest wife getting ripped off selling mountain products. They were even trying to trick her into being the Jiang family's scapegoat!

In the book, Jiang's parents died young, but the few acres of land and some money they left to Jiang were all embezzled by Jiang's uncle and his wife. That was fine, Jiang was young and needed the care of her elders. If Jiang's uncle recovered, he would take on the responsibility of raising Jiang, and no one would complain.

But from then on, Jiang became a laborer who could only be used by the third wife. She had to work around the house from dawn to dusk and then plow the fields. At the end of the day, she could only get half a piece of steamed bun. Aunt Jiang San even disliked Jiang and would beat and scold her at any time.

Sometimes, Jiang Shi was beaten so badly that she would run to her uncle's house to beg for food. However, because Jiang Shi had given all the benefits to the third wife, her uncle's family also looked down on her. It can be said that it was not easy for Jiang Shi to survive and wait for her daughter Jiang Li to come.
