My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

The punishment for the Zuo family was imposed by the government, and the Zuo family had no other options, nor could they vent their anger on the regent. Their anger had to be vented. Besides Xiang's wife, who had finally escaped the Zuo family, they also hated the Si family.

After all, if the Si family's second daughter and that cousin hadn't intervened, how could the Zuo family have suffered such a loss? That's fine, but once there's a divorce, there's always another. After the Xiang family divorced, many women clamored for divorce, even one woman over fifty. Although they ultimately failed, the men in the family haven't dared to speak up lately, and they've even had to appease those women.

How could this be something they hadn't experienced before?

The Zuo family had no other choice but to slander the Si family, saying that they were criminals who were exiled here and could never return. How could they be a good family? It was shameful to associate with such a family.

When my younger sister heard this, she was furious: "The Zuo family did evil themselves, and they still have the nerve to smear us?"

Xiao Fangniang said hurriedly, "That's right. I heard that last night, the headman of Kaoshan Village came to our village and had a scene with our headman. Later, the headman brought people to chase them away. But they didn't even look at their behavior. How dare they pick a fight with us?"

The Si family really didn't know that the village head had come to make trouble.

The younger sister had a gloomy face and was full of unhappiness. Seeing that Xiao Fangniang was still chattering, she stood up and wanted to drive her away: "Okay, it's getting late. Xiao Fangniang, if you are not busy, we are still busy, so we won't entertain you."

Xiao Fangniang was filled with righteous indignation and was still reluctant to leave. She did not want to leave at all. Being interrupted by her younger sister, she was not very happy and was about to leave with a "snort".

At this time, Si Muyan came over and called out, "Xiao Fang Niang, please stay. I have something else to trouble you with."

"Ah? Are you bothering me with something?"

Si Muyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, please sit down and I will tell you in detail. Little sister, Xiao Fangniang is here, why don't you make some tea to entertain her?"

"Hey, we are from the same village, why should we be so particular about those things..." Xiao Fang's mother said this, but her eyes were fixed on her little sister, hoping that she would go in and bring out some more snacks.

The Si family's dim sum changes every now and then. They look good and taste very good. Besides, the master and the daughter of the Si family are both very nice. Whoever comes here won't take away two pieces of dim sum, right?

Xiao Fangniang felt that she had made a lot of money today.

The younger sister rolled her eyes. "This woman has snacks in her pocket, why did the elder sister ask her to go there?" But since the elder sister said so, she couldn't refuse in front of others, so she went to the kitchen to get the snacks angrily.

Si Muyan looked at Xiao Fangniang with a smile and said, "I want to ask you, are there many people in Songji Village who are ready to get married?"

Since ancient times, women marrying men for food and clothing are all for the sake of a stable life. However, because of this, most families want to marry their daughters off to a wealthy family. If they can marry to a county town, it is the best. Even if they stay in the village, they hope to find a man with better conditions.

Over time, there are many more bachelors in the village than in the county town, which leads to a situation where one family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families.

Songji Village hadn't been very well off before, but this year, thanks to the Si family, many families had become more relaxed, and finding a wife was now a possibility. However, marriages weren't something that could be arranged overnight, so there were many men who wanted to get married.

When Xiao Fangniang heard what Si Muyan said, her first reaction was, "Could it be that the girl from the Si family wants to get married?"

The Si family's daughters were all over sixteen. Besides the second sister, whose husband had died and returned, there were two other virgins. Countless people came to inquire about their whereabouts. However, Si Xingzhi rejected them all, saying that his daughters had to wait until they were eighteen to get married, just like the girls in the city.

Although others didn't understand, considering the girl from the Si family looked so good and was rich now, it wasn't surprising. A girl like this could get married if she wanted to.

But... she is not a matchmaker. Could it be that she wants to find out which boy is good?

Xiao Fangniang was used to being idle, so when she was assigned a task for the first time, she immediately became very alert. She talked about everything from her husband's cousins ​​and relatives from the next room to the widower selling tofu at the village entrance, and she mentioned the good and the bad. She was as if to say, "If you can pick one, I will analyze it carefully for you."

After hearing this, the other members of the Si family also came over curiously to take a look, wondering what Si Muyan meant by asking these questions.

Si Muyan was not in a hurry. She poured tea and water for Xiao Fangniang. Seeing that she had almost finished talking, she nodded and smiled, "It seems that Xiao Fangniang cares about our village very much. She knows all this news."

Xiao Fangniang patted her chest and said, "Of course. Even though I've only been married for a few years, I know everything about every household in the village! So, girl Yan, what are you doing..."

Si Muyan said, "It's like this. I didn't think much of the men in our village before. But now that I've heard about the Zuo family's situation, and the situations of the men in other villages, I've realized that the men in our village are really great."

"Yes..." Xiao Fangniang hesitated. She felt that it was not that good. All men were almost like that. In her opinion, they were all selfish and arrogant. They didn't even know to help when the oil bottle at home fell over.

Si Muyan continued, "I've already told the head of the village that now that our family is doing well, we should help improve the lives of the entire village. Now that many families are following suit, we can finally find a job and earn money. Now that our lives are better, it's time to put marriage on the agenda, right? There are far more unmarried men in our village than girls waiting to get married."

Xiao Fangniang was completely bewildered by what she said. It was true that the Si family brought money to the village, but the majority of the workers in the workshop were women, and men didn't earn any money! The status of women had improved a lot, and young girls were even more sought after. Girls who could work for the Si family even had people from the county town come to propose marriage to them.

But what does this have to do with men? Men are useless, and marriage is still the same as before.

Si Muyan smiled and said, "Whether it's a man or a woman, they earn money for their family, isn't it, Xiao Fangniang? Besides, the men in our village are strong and can work. When the family has money, everyone's temper will be better, and the daughter-in-law who marries into the family will not be bullied. Also, the best thing about the men in our village is that they love their children. After all, children are the future of the family. Look at my father's school, he is willing to send so many children to study there, right? So everyone knows that every child is a hope. Even if the couple is not harmonious and may get divorced in the future, they will never take it out on their own children."

Every time she said that, Xiao Fangniang's eyes lit up a little. Why hadn't she thought of this? So, in the surrounding villages, which other village had men as good as those in Songji Village? Marrying into Songji Village was like marrying into a happy home, wasn't it?
