The young couple from the farm fights back

Sand, rustle!

The next morning, just as it was getting light, Jiang Li got up and opened the door to see a short boy sweeping the ground in the courtyard under the corridor with a broom in stiff, slow and awkward movements.

It was rare that there was no snow today, but the muddy ground in the yard was wet after the thin snow melted, and there was not much garbage on it.

Hearing the sound of the door, Que Ge'er turned around timidly, and when he saw Jiang Li, he quickly leaned over and greeted: "Aunt~"

When the door opened, Awooo rushed out of the house into the yard and jumped around happily.

Jiang Li looked at his timid appearance and felt a little amused: "Why are you up so early? You are not well yet. We don't need you to do this. Go back to your room and lie down."

Que Ge'er was startled when he heard this, clearly frightened. He had thought that as long as he behaved diligently and obediently, this kind uncle and aunt would be happy. In the past, the family's servants would get up early every day to tidy up the house. There were many things he couldn't do, but he could learn to do them.

"Aunt, Brother Que didn't mean to make you angry."

Seeing this, Jiang Li realized that her tone was too harsh. She walked up to him unhappily, took the broom from his hand, and took his hand to walk towards the west room.

"Auntie doesn't mean to blame you. You know you can't be careless with your injuries. If you don't take care of them, will our family have to support you like a sickly sick boy for the rest of your life?"

The originally lost little guy suddenly raised his head and blinked at Jiang Li in disbelief.

Does this mean that auntie wants him to stay and not chase him away in the future?

Jiang Li brought him to the kang and said with a smirk, "Cover yourself with the quilt. I only made you a single piece of clothing yesterday. It's so cold outside. If you catch a cold again, do you expect us to pay for your medical treatment?"

Que Ge'er, who was wrapped in the quilt with only his little head exposed, quickly shook his head: "No, Auntie, Que Ge'er doesn't have it."

Jiang Li glanced at him sideways and said, "That's good. You stay in the room for the next few days and don't go out until your injury is healed."

"Yeah." The little guy's heart was filled with the sudden good news. His eyes were red and he wanted to cry but didn't dare to.

He was grateful to the kind aunt in front of him for taking him in, but he also missed his mother and father. The little guy was overwhelmed with emotions for a while.

Jiang Li couldn't bear to see the child cry, so she simply gave a few instructions and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Zhou Laosan left Tiedan's house early in the morning and headed for the clan school. He saw a group of imposing carriages coming from the village head from afar. Zhou Laosan couldn't help but stop and look at the side out of curiosity.

At this moment, the curtain of the bumpy carriage was slightly lifted, and Zhou Laosan recognized the person sitting in the carriage at a glance. It was the manager of the Ouyang family who had taken him to the town to work a while ago.

Seeing the carriage heading straight towards Old Zhou's house, Zhou Laosan had nothing to understand. Zhou Xingyue would definitely not choose the royal family after her rebirth. With Zhou Xingyue's personality, how could she miss the relationship with Master Ouyang?

Zhou Xingyue must have used some trickery to gain Master Ouyang's favor. Zhou Laosan narrowed his eyes as he watched the fleet of horses depart. He suspected that Master Ouyang had fallen for Zhou Xingyue's trick and had someone take her to the capital.

Huh~

Zhou Laosan sneered. His sister has always been capable and resourceful, and with her outstanding appearance, Young Master Ouyang cannot escape from her control.

Zhou Laosan did not envy the future rise of the Zhou family. He had his own calculations and ways. He did not believe that the Ouyang family, as the royal merchant of Daqing, would be able to escape unscathed if Daqing declined in the future.

When the carriage team arrived at the gate of Old Zhou's house, Zhou Xingyue learned that Master Ouyang had sent someone to pick her up to go to the capital, and she couldn't help but cry with joy.

She succeeded, and her plans and calculations finally paid off.

Young Master Ouyang believed in her and must have relied on the clues she provided to catch the murderer. He felt that Zhou Xingyue was a helpful woman, so he couldn't wait to send someone to pick her up.

Lin was so happy that she asked her second son and his wife to invite several stewards to the main hall for tea, and she went to her daughter's room to help her wash and dress up.

"My mother said that my Yue'er is a lucky star, and that our Zhou family will live a rich and prosperous life in the future thanks to Yue'er."

Zhou Xingyue combed her long hair, her face flushed with shyness as she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mom, please stop talking. You don't want others to laugh at you."

"Okay, okay, mother won't tell you, mother won't tell you. When we return to the capital, we'll arrange the marriage with Master Ouyang. As long as the marriage isn't settled, I'll never feel at ease."

Zhou Xingyue looked up in surprise and stared at her mother in a daze: "——We?"

Lin smiled and said, "Yes, the manager said that Master Ouyang not only sent someone to pick up our Yue'er, but also wanted to bring me along. It seems that Master Ouyang really cares about you."

Zhou Xingyue was not surprised. In her previous life, the Second Prince had sent someone to pick her up, and it was only after her repeated insistence that Lin be brought along. Unexpectedly, in this life, Master Ouyang had actually taken the initiative to ask to bring her mother, Lin, along.

Forget it, maybe it’s a good thing to take my mother with you. There are some things that she is not easy to ask for, and with my mother Lin around, she will definitely fight for her many times.

Zhou Xingyue held her mother's hand with a happy expression, "That's great. Yue'er was just feeling sad about being separated from you. Now I'm going to Shangjing with you. Yue'er never wants to be separated from you again."

"Mother is happy too. Mother is even happier to see Yue'er marrying Master Ouyang in such a grand ceremony." Lin said with a smile, her eyes red with excitement.

After all, she was the daughter she held dearly in the palm of her hand, a child she had cherished like a jewel for nearly fifteen years. In the blink of an eye, she was already old enough to get married, and she felt a certain reluctance to let her go.

The managers of the Ouyang family seemed more polite than last time, and even had a hint of flattery in their eyes when they saw Zhou Xingyue.

In this way, in the eyes of Lin and the second wife, they were extremely proud, because it meant that Young Master Ouyang and even the entire Ouyang family had decided on the daughter of their Zhou family.

Lin and Zhou Xingyue packed up quickly. They didn't need much luggage, and many things could be purchased in Beijing. Perhaps Master Ouyang had already prepared everything for them.

Wang clung to her mother-in-law's hand, reluctantly wanting to speak, but hesitant. She longed to go with her mother-in-law to the capital to broaden her horizons. But she also knew that until the fourth child could marry into a wealthy family, the second wife should remain in Shilitun, doing her duty.

Besides, the third room has been separated now and will definitely not come back. Doesn't it mean that she, Wang, has the final say in this family now?

When Wang thought of this, all her reluctance disappeared, and she happily sent the steward, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to the carriage with the man in charge.

Lin naturally didn't forget to tell the second wife a few words before she finished her homework. She told her not to be lazy with the farm work next spring and to take care of the household affairs. Otherwise, when she returned to the countryside to visit relatives, don't blame her for turning against her.

The second wife and her husband naturally agreed without hesitation. They firmly believed that soon the second wife would be taken to the city to live a comfortable life.

The carriage convoy was so huge that even though villagers rarely visited each other in winter, the news quickly spread through word of mouth among Lao Zhou's neighbors.

For a time, the whole village was talking about this matter. They heard that the fourth daughter of the Zhou family had hooked up with a rich young man from Beijing, and that his family had specially sent someone to pick her and her up to Beijing to discuss the marriage. They were afraid that they would never return to a poor village like Shilitun in the future.

As many people envy her, as many people feel jealous. We are all girls who grew up in the mountains. No matter how beautiful Zhou Xingyue is, how could she really find such a good match?
