The young couple from the farm fights back

"I remember the story mentioning that the soldiers sent by the imperial court would avoid the students who were about to enroll." Jiang Li recalled this point and immediately thought of Zhou Laosan: "So, Zhou Yunfu's rebirth and enrollment in school was probably to avoid being captured by the soldiers."

After hearing Jiang Li's analysis, Zhou Chunfeng felt that it was possible. "I think so. In ancient times, when wars broke out, there was a rumor among the people that good iron cannot be used to make nails, and good men cannot be soldiers. After all, being drafted into the battlefield at short notice was a life-or-death situation."

Jiang Li couldn't help but hold Zhou Chunfeng's hand tightly in fear: "Tomorrow, you will also join the clan school."

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Zhou Chunfeng will take the imperial examination in the future or not. What’s important is that he can avoid being conscripted by the imperial court.

Zhou Chunfeng's expression relaxed, and he looked at her deeply: "Can you trust me?"

Jiang Li: ...

Zhou Chunfeng's words immediately gave Jiang Li a bad feeling: "You want to join the army?"

"I've thought about this before. Perhaps this is the way to change our current predicament." Zhou Chunfeng said, raising his hand to press her head into his arms: "Jiang Li, life in the countryside may be comfortable, but as a man, I hope to give you the best life."

Here, Jiang Li can earn money by collecting herbs and providing medical treatment on her own, but how can he, Zhou Chunfeng, watch all the burdens fall on a woman?

"But, the Daqing in the previous life is likely to decline. If you go there, wouldn't it be equivalent to--" Jiang Li's voice choked with sobs, and she buried her face in his clothes, not daring to think about the danger Zhou Chunfeng was in on the battlefield.

"Believe me."

Hearing Zhou Chunfeng's firm tone, Jiang Li's heart was in a knot. Since they had already decided to live well together in this era, how could she bear to separate?

Jiang Li slowed down her thoughts, raised her head and looked at him steadily: "Okay, I believe you!"

Since he insisted, she supported him.

What does it matter if they live or die? They are not people in the book. It is better to let them live happily and make the most of their life.

At this moment, the two people who opened their hearts only have each other in their eyes. They are not afraid of the future storms, and at the same time they cherish the time they spend together even more.

Under the moonlight, the candlelight in the paper-pasted window was extinguished, but it could still reflect two figures leaning on each other.

Old Zhou's family.

After being whipped, Zhou Laoer lay on the kang for several days before the wound on his back healed. From the moment he opened his eyes, the depth in his gaze was no longer the same as before.

Ever since Zhou Laoer was whipped, Wang's mother was afraid that Laoer would be resentful of her for instigating it before, so she quickly slipped away and took her grandson Liang Ge'er back to the town.

Wang originally wanted to yell at Zhou Laoer and curse the clan members for being unkind. How could they really be so harsh on their clan members? She then went back to Beijing to send a letter to her mother-in-law to complain harshly about the clan leader.

Unexpectedly, every time Wang raised her voice, she would be met with the angry glare of the man in charge. She was so scared that she dared not even breathe in front of him.

Two months later, Zhou Laosan saw Zhou Laoer in the clan school. He was stunned. He was surprised but also guessed something.

Could it be that the second brother was also reborn!

Otherwise, why would the second brother, who was so stupid and could hardly read in his previous life, go to school?

Since the second brother was reborn like him, and did not take the initiative to go to Beijing to find my mother and Lin, he must not want to have any involvement with the fourth brother anymore.

God is really a joke, actually let their family be reborn, it seems that God has pity on their family in their past life. So, let them live again and change their fate!

The matter of Zhou Laoer's schooling was inevitably used as a joke by the people of Shili Village. No matter how much the villagers talked about it, Zhou Laoer ignored them. All the work at home and in the fields fell on Wang alone.

In the past, Wang Shi only worked diligently under Lin Shi's supervision. Since Lin Shi left, she never touched the housework. Now that she couldn't stop the man of the family from going to school, she thought the second son must have been beaten and driven crazy. After waking up, his personality had completely changed. He used to be silent and obedient to her, but now he would give her the cold shoulder at the slightest provocation.

Wang Shi now worked from dawn to dusk, her heart filled with grievances, and her only hope of survival was her faith. She firmly believed that soon her mother-in-law would send someone to Shili Village to fetch her and her second wife to live in the capital, where she would then bitterly complain to her mother-in-law.

When Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng learned that Zhou Laoer had enrolled in school, they also guessed that Zhou Laoer might also be reborn. The node of this life really made them laugh and cry, and rebirth seemed like a joke.

Fortunately, after rebirth, the Zhou family did not provoke their eldest branch again. No matter what the other party was thinking, it would be best if they could live in peace like this.

Time flies, and soon it is the busy farming and harvest season. The villagers all have smiles on their faces, bending over to harvest in the golden fields.

This year, Jiang Li asked Zhou Chunfeng to buy a cow. They no longer had to carry the harvested rice back to the yard. Instead, they could tie the rice in bundles on the cart, which saved a lot of time.

After two days of hard work, the couple finally harvested all the rice in the field. The yams they and Zhou Ershu's family planted would be harvested in about two months. The tall green stems of the yams were more than half a man's height. When the villagers heard that the fields were planted with valuable yams, they all became eager to buy them.

However, ever since the incident with Zhou Laoer, the entire Zhou clan has been helping to keep an eye on that piece of land, and villagers from other surnames dare not steal it at will.

That day, Zhou Chunfeng was out in the yard, herding cattle and threshing ears of corn, while Jiang Li sat on the porch sewing. Ao Wu lazily rested at Jiang Li's feet. The couple chatted casually when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Brother, sister-in-law~something bad~"

Zhou Chunfeng stopped his work, opened the gate and saw Dashuan striding in and hurriedly closing the door.

Seeing Dashuan's nervous look, the couple couldn't help but look stern. Zhou Chunfeng asked, "What's the matter?"

Dashuan took several breaths and said, "Just now, someone saw many soldiers and officers coming to the town. They said the imperial court was going to fight again and they were coming down to conscript men."

Ding~

Jiang Li's heart trembled violently. The war was indeed brought forward.

She quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked to Zhou Chunfeng.

Zhou Chunfeng turned around and held Jiang Li's hand, then continued to ask, "What's the current situation in the village?"

"Don't even mention our village. I'm afraid the whole area has heard the news. All the able-bodied men in the family have fled to the mountains to hide. Big brother, hurry up and don't just stand there. My father asked me to come and call you to go to the mountains with us to hide. If the soldiers can't find us, they will naturally leave."

Jiang Li suppressed his pounding heart and asked slowly, "Did the soldiers come from the town?"

"Yes, they should be from the county town. Stop wasting time. Shili Village will be the first to suffer."

As Dashuan was speaking, there was indeed a sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard. Without opening the door, one could tell that it was the strong men in the village running up the mountain in groups.

"Hurry up, big brother, don't delay. If we are drafted, we will be finished."

Zhou Chunfeng exchanged a silent glance with Jiang Li and said, "You're dreaming! If they're imperial soldiers, they must have a list of every household with several able-bodied men. The list clearly records everything. How can you possibly hide from them?"

Da Shuan:......

What? There's such a thing? He doesn't know!

Jiang Li said, "Your elder brother is right. If the officers and soldiers can't find someone on the list in our village, they can find him even if he hides in the mountains. At that time, the imperial court would have charged him with a serious crime of treason, and it also implicated his entire family."

Da Shuan:......

Is it that serious? Dad didn't tell me!
