Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Seeing everyone staring in amazement, Aunt Liu on the side seemed particularly enthusiastic and generous. She smiled brightly and said:

"Actually, weaving linen is not as difficult as you think!

We have a full month, so weaving ten pieces of cloth is no problem at all. We have plenty of time!

In that case, why don’t I start from the beginning today and slowly teach you how to weave cloth!”

As she spoke, she bent down slightly, stretched out her hands, picked up a bundle of ramie from the ground, and untied it skillfully.

At the same time, she continued to ask the people around her, "Um, could any lady please help me get a basin of water?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingge hurried to the well in the east of the yard, turned the windlass vigorously, and soon drew up a bucket of clear well water.

Then she held the bucket in both hands and said to Aunt Liu with a smile:

"Aunt Liu, you are too polite! We are all neighbors. There is no such thing as a lady or not. We are just ordinary people and have committed crimes.

My name is Shen Qingge. If you don't mind, you can just call me Qingge from now on!"

After hearing Shen Qingge's passionate words, Aunt Liu's face suddenly broke into a simple smile.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Sister Qingge is such a warm-hearted girl!"

As she spoke, she swiftly took the bucket from Shen Qingge's hand and poured the water into the wooden basin in front of her.

Then, Aunt Liu cleared her throat and raised her voice:

"Actually, the entire linen production process is divided into five steps: peeling the linen, degumming, spinning, sizing, and weaving...

It sounds complicated, but if you do it step by step, it will go much more smoothly!"

As she spoke, she had already picked up a strand of ramie, straightened it carefully, and soaked it in a basin of water prepared in advance. It seemed that she was ready to start demonstrating how to de-ramie.

Seeing this novel scene, the sisters-in-law present could not contain their curiosity and gathered closer.

They opened their eyes wide and stared closely at the movements of Aunt Liu's hands, afraid of missing any details.

Soon, except for the fifth sister-in-law Bai Yu who was pregnant and had difficulty moving, the other sisters-in-law squatted down, rolled up their sleeves, and took the initiative to help take off the anesthesia.

Even the two young girls, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were not to be outdone and actively participated in it.

For a moment, laughter and joy filled the entire courtyard, and everyone worked together hard.

The sunlight shines down, illuminating the glistening beads of sweat on everyone's forehead, and those faces filled with smiles create a rather heartwarming picture.

Aunt Liu, who was squatting on the side, looked at the scene in front of her, and her eyes seemed to be smoothed by a smile. She couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart:

"Oh my, this is the first time in my life that I work with rich ladies like you!

I didn’t expect that each of you is not only beautiful but also not spoiled at all, and you get along so harmoniously. It really makes me happy from the bottom of my heart!

It's nothing like what's in those picture books; they're all just made up nonsense!"

When Shen Qingge heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

Since coming to Lingnan, Aunt Liu is the first person she has been able to get in such close contact with.

Just in the brief conversation just now, Shen Qingge was already certain that Aunt Liu in front of him was kind-hearted and had absolutely no bad intentions, and it was even more impossible for her to be a spy.

Aunt Liu is just an ordinary citizen, simple and kind, without the intrigues and twists and turns of people in officialdom.

Therefore, if you want to know more about the situation in Lingnan, asking Aunt Liu is undoubtedly the best choice.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge quickly stopped what he was doing, pretended to be curious and took over the conversation and asked:

"Aunt Liu, please tell us what those picture books say.

I don’t usually read many picture books, so don’t keep me in suspense!”

Aunt Liu had never expected Shen Qingge to continue talking about this topic. She had just mentioned it casually.

When asked this question, she suddenly felt embarrassed, her whole face turned red, and she looked a little awkward.

"Oh, it's really okay, Aunt Liu, don't be embarrassed, tell us quickly!

Anyway, everyone is just listening for fun, how can they really take these things to heart? "

Fourth sister-in-law Jiang Yue, who was standing by, quickly chimed in.

Hearing this, Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Well... well, there's nothing to hide! That's what the storybook says, it says that those high-ranking officials spend their days thinking about how to extort money from the common people and then live a life of extravagance.

They have a bunch of wives and concubines at home, all of whom are spoiled and never have to do housework. On weekdays, they do nothing but order the servants around and beat and scold them at will.

Moreover, they often quarreled with each other in order to compete for the favor of men, and there were many intrigues..."

Aunt Liu became more and more excited as she spoke, as if her chatterbox had been completely opened.

"Oh...Is that so, Aunt Liu.

However, what was written in the picture book was not false. After all, in a place like the capital, there were indeed some powerful families like this.

But our Shen family is not like that. Don't worry, our family has always been strict, and we are a family of military commanders, so there is no such mess at all!"

Shen Qingge explained with a smile.

"Haha, I was told. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were both top ladies!"

After hearing what Shen Qingge said, Aunt Liu's smile became even more innocent and brilliant.

"How about here? I see that Fanyu City is located in a remote area, so I don't think there should be any of those hateful corrupt officials here, right?"

Shen Qingge asked softly.

Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard this, but at this time she was already familiar with the Shen family, and thought to herself that there was nothing she couldn't tell.

So she raised her hands and made a gesture for everyone to gather around.

Then, she carefully covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to everyone in a low voice:

"Sister Qingge, you may not understand the ins and outs of this! There are always those big parasites who eat the royal salary but do nothing good!

I've heard from others that the magistrate of our Nanhai County is quite honest, but he's a bit weak in character and doesn't usually take care of things.

As a result, the officials and county magistrates under him were in great trouble!

They are all incredibly wealthy, with countless mansions, hundreds and thousands of acres of fertile land under their names, and numerous wives and concubines at home!"
