Farming and reading family

The wives of both men were quarreling so much, but the two men were nowhere to be seen.

When Mrs. Lei heard her second sister-in-law ask this, her temper instantly increased: "The third brother took the eldest brother to look at the land. He said that since we are not home now, all the land will be given to the eldest brother to farm and no rent will be collected."

Although the eldest and the third son had not yet separated, when they bought the land, in addition to the land they bought together, they also bought some land individually, following Gao E's example and buying it as their wives' dowries.

When Yang heard what Lei said, she lowered her head slightly. She also knew about this, but she thought that the third brother's family didn't even farm the land, so they must have made a fortune. It was a pity that their family still had to work hard to farm in the village.

Gao E looked at Yang speechlessly. Some people really can't sit idle, but Yang is a pregnant woman now. What can she do?

"If you have any complaints, we can talk about it slowly when you get back." Gao E said and went home. "Third sister-in-law, come back with me first."

Lei glanced at Yang and followed her second sister-in-law home.

Yang was so ashamed that she had to go home with her head down.

She couldn't understand why everyone in the village was always right when it came to their own private matters, but when it came to Gao E, they all thought without hesitation that Gao E was right.

When Lei closed the door, he saw through the crack that his sister-in-law had turned around and gone home with a mocking look on her face.

"Tell me about you, why can't you control your temper?" Gao E looked at Lei.

"That's because the second sister-in-law didn't see that when the eldest sister-in-law heard that we were going to live in my parents' house in He County, she acted as if her house was robbed. That house has nothing to do with her." Lei looked unconvinced.

The house was bought by Gao E, but after buying it, it was directly given to the two elders of the Chen family to live in, so that Yang subconsciously thought that it was the Chen family's house.

Now that the two elders of the Chen family no longer live there, the house should be decided by their eldest son.

"Why do you have to say these things in front of her?" Gao E didn't know what was going on.

"Someone asked, so I told them." Lei felt that he had done nothing wrong. "It's not something that can't be said."

"Next time, tell me when big brother is at home. Don't mention these things when big brother is not here." Gao E felt it was troublesome.

Lei was somewhat reluctant: "Anyway, we will come back less often in the future, so out of sight, out of mind."

Gao E knew that the couple would probably live in He County for a long time in the future: "Then let me use your yard."

"Okay." Lei agreed immediately. "Just leave the upper room for us. After dinner, we'll pack everything up in the upper room."

Gao E nodded: "There are too many people here now, and there is not enough room to live."

"Then you can stay here, second sister-in-law. We don't have to be polite." Lei said with a smile.

Before Chen Qing and Chen Jie got home, they heard that their wives had quarreled. When they rushed back, they found that the quarrel was over, so they went to ask their own wives.

Chen Jie's side was simple, Lei was justified, and Chen Jie also knew that his sister-in-law's temper had changed recently.

"You two should keep a low profile from now on." Gao E reminded, "Our village is relatively good. We have been through hardships together. The villagers remember the kindness of our Chen family and hope that you will be well. If you encounter someone with bad intentions, you don't know when they will trip you up."

"Besides, you're doing well in He County. If the villagers ask you for some outrageous favor, will you help them or not?" Gao E looked at the two of them and said, "I've always told you that you must be able to keep your promise."

The two people nodded hurriedly.

In fact, the Lei family is fine. They just earn hard-earned money and still owe rent to the Wu family. They are not too arrogant.

Chen Jie suddenly started working for the richest man Chen, and he had a relationship with Chen Tao as his second sister-in-law. He was indeed a little arrogant.

After lunch, Chen Qing came over and apologized to them about Yang's matter.

"My wife also has a bad temper. My brother told my sister-in-law not to take it to heart." Chen Jie said with a smile.

Chen Qing nodded. He knew that his two younger brothers were becoming more and more capable, while he, as the eldest brother, had no future. Yang was becoming more and more unbalanced.

"When my sister-in-law has a baby, if she also wants to do business in He County, I will find her a shop." Gao E mentioned this again.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't know how to do business." Chen Qing knew that Yang Shi would not go. "There's no need to mention this matter again."

Several people spoke very well, but it could be seen that Chen Qing felt a little heavy.

When he returned home, he went straight into the side room, looked at the book on the table and slowly sat down on the chair.

He is the eldest in the family. Although brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, he does not want to be too much worse than his two younger brothers.

He was happy that his two younger brothers were getting better, but at the same time he was frustrated by the growing gap between them.

I originally wanted to take the exam to become a scholar, but if I failed, it would not be just a matter of the gap, but I would be laughed at by others.

"Why do I feel that my brother is also a little depressed?" Chen Jie was a little worried.

Although my eldest brother has always been very steady, it is different from being depressed.

Gao E also felt it, especially today: "If you encounter any problems in the future, please consult with Big Brother."

"Brother doesn't understand what's going on outside." Chen Jie said subconsciously.

Gao E looked at Chen Jie and suddenly understood what was going on: Big Brother could not keep up with them.

"It's not that I dislike my elder brother, it's just..." Chen Jie explained hurriedly.

"You just think he doesn't understand, so there's no need to talk to him." Gao E expressed her understanding.

"Yes." Chen Jie nodded.

"But he's your elder brother. You should tell him. At least he knows what you are doing and what happened. Otherwise, he won't know what your situation is now." Gao E said patiently.

She didn't do well in this regard either.

She always went to her elder brother only when she felt that he could handle the matter, and she made most of the daily decisions on her own.

Especially now, she has more and more people under her, and she needs her elder brother less and less. Although she lives next door, she seldom goes there.

Chen Jie thought about it seriously and said, "Okay, then I'll talk to my eldest brother more often in the future." He then suddenly remembered, "When will my second brother come back?"

"Not sure." Gao E shook her head.

It’s been such a long time since Chen Ke left home, and he hasn’t written back a single letter. I don’t know how he’s doing outside.

Chen Jie was a little worried: "My second brother has never been away from home for such a long time even when he was taking the exam."

In the afternoon, Chen Jie and Lei cleaned up the yard, moved the things upstairs, and gave the yard to Gao E for use.

Gao E finally had a little more space to live in because she had these two and a half yards.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and Chen Tao returned to Baotou Village to continue his studies. He exercised with Master Chu every day, and Gao E's training of the deaf and mute people also began to show results.

After a year of growth, the iron fence planted by Gao E has grown to three or four feet high, which is considered to be quite fertile.

Cotton can be planted when the summer harvest comes. Gao E bought a lot of cotton seeds and planned to let everyone in the village plant some, but the villagers were unwilling to plant them, saying that this plant was difficult to take care of and would not produce many cotton flowers, which was far inferior to planting crops.

Gao E was a little confused when she heard this. Could it be a problem with the breed?

She planned to try planting some herself in the mulberry forest where the trees had not yet grown.

After choosing a place, I returned home and saw Xu Boyan already sitting in the yard.
