Concubine's plan

Now is the lean season, and the family only has these grains, and it will take a month before they can have other food. If Mrs. Cai takes them away, their family will really starve to death.

Seeing Li Zheng coming, he immediately threw Li Zheng in front of him, pulled his sleeves, and cried:"Li Zheng, our family only has this food. The food in the fields has not been planted yet, and there is no food in the mountains. The fastest. It will take a month to have other food. If my mother-in-law takes away this food, our family will really starve to death."

"Brother Erzhu, what do you say?"After all, it's someone else's family matter. Li Zheng is in charge of the whole village's affairs, so he can't take over someone else's family. He still needs to ask the person concerned for his opinion.

"Li Zheng, we have no way to survive. If we run out of food, we will all starve to death at home."Cai Erzhu was heartbroken. He couldn't understand why Granny Cai was forcing her family like this.

Cai Yuheng also understood that if this nonsense continued, Cai Erzhu's family would be too big to handle. Just when he was about to ask Granny Cai to keep the food, Just listen to Mrs. Cai's broken voice crying:"Li Zheng, I can't help it. I haven't had a full meal these days. I worked hard and lived frugally to raise Er Zhu. Will you starve me to death when I get old?"

Everyone was speechless for a while. Even if you support you in your old age, you can't starve your son and his family to death, right? Then the people watching began to talk in a"coaxing" manner. Some people accused Mrs. Cai of not being a thing, and always exploiting her second son's family by relying on her old age. He accused Cai Erzhu of being unfilial. In short, he said anything.

Cai Yuheng's brain was throbbing. He didn't expect the matter to be so difficult. He looked at the grain bag held in Granny Cai's arms and shouted loudly:"Shut up, everyone." Will such noise solve the problem? If they make any noise again, they will all be tied up and sent to the Yamen to be locked up."

Suddenly, the place was quiet. No one dared to say a word. Mrs. Cai, who had been crying, did not dare to make a fuss anymore. She stood aside and waited for Li Zheng to deal with it.

"Life is hard for everyone, so we can't just focus on one thing. There is so much food, so save it and eat it. It's enough for two families. Brother Erzhu, go home and get a bag, and I'll give you a portion of the food myself."Cai Yuheng said something, and Cai Erzhu immediately turned around and went home to get his things.

Aunt Cai didn't make any more fuss, obviously acquiescing. According to Cai's temperament, if it weren't for Li Zheng, he would definitely drag them all back to the old house. Half of them can be left. It’s already pretty good. Let’s spend this time first and think of something later.

Cai Yuheng not only divided the food, but also divided the ribs in half, and then said loudly to the people watching the fun:"Go back and do your own thing. Son, is there nothing to do?"

Li Zheng was the biggest official in the village. The villagers were in awe of Li Zheng. As soon as Li Zheng opened his mouth, they dispersed and went home.

Seeing everyone leaving, Xun Yingju also quietly went home. She was so friendly to Li Zheng. The method was very disapproving. It was clearly Aunt Cai’s family’s grain and meat, but she insisted on giving half of it to Mrs. Cai. Isn’t this robbing her? In addition, life in Aunt Cai’s family must have been really difficult, otherwise they wouldn’t have made such a fuss over such a small amount of food. Everyone knows.

In the future, if you have the opportunity to help Aunt Cai, hope that their life will get better and better? Thinking about it, people have entered the yard and saw Mrs. Bai and two little girls looking at the door uneasily. , he was relieved to see Xun Yingju back safely, and the expression on his face was no longer so nervous.

"Have you finished dealing with the outside matters? How is your Aunt Cai?"Ms. Bai looked worried, worried that someone would come to her door to make trouble.

"Don't worry, mother! There is nothing going on at Aunt Cai's house for the time being."Xun Yingju knew that the matter was settled today, and it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

At dinner time, Chun Mian prepared brown rice, braised pork ribs, and some pickles, and each of the four of them had a bowl of jujube juice. Several people didn't eat meat like this in Xun Mansion. At first, Bai and the two little girls were concerned about their appearance and didn't eat meat in large quantities. After taking the first bite of pork ribs, they couldn't stop and started eating meat one after another. He stuttered, and kept saying:"It's delicious." Everyone ate an extra bowl of rice, and their mouths were full of oil. The last four people sat on the stools, holding their bulging bellies, unable to stand up. Yusheng said with a satisfied expression on his face:"I have never eaten such delicious meat since I was a child. My belly is almost bursting."

"If you follow the girl, you will definitely be able to eat and drink well."Chun Mian said with an expression on her face that said I'm going to fall in love with you.

"How come I didn’t know that Ju Yatou could cook so many delicious things? I don’t know what other weird ideas you have in your little head?"Ms. Bai looked at Xun Yingju with a somewhat inquiring and confused look.

Hearing this, Xun Yingju's heart skipped a beat. She had always felt that Ms. Bai didn't know her daughter well. Unexpectedly, some clues were discovered, but she was not afraid. , smiled and said:"People will change, but some will become better and some will become worse. Mom, do you think Ju'er has become better or worse? Hearing this

, Mrs. Bai pursed her lips and smiled, and said:"Of course things are getting better and better. My Ju'er can make money to support the family.""

"Haha, mother, we have hands and feet. As long as we work hard enough, life will definitely get better and better."Xun Yingju spoke like this for the first time. She looked down on Bai's behavior of being a concubine with Aunt Qin. After all, as long as she was willing to pay, there was no problem in supporting herself. If she thought of relying on others to live, it would always be unreliable.

Bai Her face turned pale, and her eyes were full of grievances. She didn't understand why her daughter said this.

Because they got up early and went to bed late in the past two days, the four of them were tired, so they went to bed early. The next morning, Xun Yingju prepared the dry firewood for the day, and I hurried out with the sound of rain. I came to the town a quarter of an hour earlier than yesterday. There were not many people in the morning market. All the people who came were small stall owners, who came to the town to buy goods early.

When I arrived at the location yesterday, I had just set up After putting down the cart, setting out the hawthorn cakes and jujube branches, I saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a silk robe walking towards me.The young man was attracted immediately, mainly because this man was very good-looking, with sparkling peach blossom eyes, fair skin and delicate facial features. His black hair was tied on top of his head with a hosta, which gave people a clean and neat impression.

The young man walked to the stall and looked at the two little girls in front of him carefully. He made the two girls blush and lowered their heads before he said,"Are you two selling hawthorn cakes?"

"Yes, yes, sir, want to buy hawthorn cake? Xun Yingju nodded hurriedly and said hello. How can you turn away business?

The handsome young man smiled and said:"My name is Shen Yan. I am the owner of Youranju in this town. I want to discuss business with you. Are you interested?""

This man is really annoying! But he is quite handsome. Seeing how handsome he is, Xun Yingju couldn't bear it and said with a smile:"Let's talk about the business first. If I feel it is suitable, we will talk about it."
