Concubine's plan

Before they could finish breakfast without waiting for the sound of rain, there were villagers carrying several large baskets of hawthorns and jujubes for sale. Four or five middle-aged men stood outside the gate of the small courtyard with large baskets on their backs and looked around. During the off-season, the villagers had two meals a day. , I only eat one meal a day when my family is in poor condition.

No one is having dinner now, so the hard-working family members carried hundreds of kilograms of hawthorns on their backs, and gave Xun Yingju, who had the multi-tasking task of purchasing hawthorns, to Bai. She worked carefully and meticulously, and she would never go wrong with the ingredients.

Chun Mian and Yu Sheng were in charge of making it, so that she could free up her hands to do other things. When Bai saw someone selling hawthorn, she asked someone to carry it to the yard, check it carefully, weigh it and put it directly in the west ear room.

The people who went back to carry hawthorns came back one after another, and some villagers who got the news came with them. Soon Aunt Cai came with Erya to help, checking and moving things. Bai weighed the weight and then paid the villagers. Some paid more than ten cents, and some paid dozens of cents. In short, those who brought hawthorn and passed Bai's inspection could get a few cents home, which relieved the family. dilemma

"Sister Bai, you come to live in the village, why don’t you come to your home to have a look?"Suddenly, a thin, middle-aged woman with sallow face and thin hair walked into the courtyard carrying a basket and greeted her warmly.

Mrs. Bai looked at Xun Yingju with a confused look, and saw that her daughter looked confused. , it seemed that he didn’t know anything, so he had to bite the bullet and ask:"I wonder who this sister-in-law is?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, with embarrassment in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He warmly came forward and took Bai's hand, and said with a smile:"Ms. Bai entered Xun Mansion late, and she only stayed in the house for a short time. I don’t know that it’s not strange for us to be relatives. Speaking of which, my head is the nephew of the old lady in the house and Mr. Xun’s cousin. Aunt Qin in the house is my sister and my sister-in-law. Do you think we are the same? relative? My maiden name is Liu, so my sister can just call me sister-in-law."

Qin is marrying someone? At this time, Xun Yingju and Bai had the idea at the same time that they are really poor in the busy city and no one cares about them, but they are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives. They have all moved to a mountain village, and there are still people coming to visit them. It’s really frustrating. If someone comes to you with a smile, you can’t just hit him out. As the saying goes, you can’t hit someone with a smile.

Standing aside, Aunt Cai knows what kind of person this Liu is. If she sticks to her, what will happen to the Xun family in the future? It was a difficult time, and it was hard to say whether the business could continue.

Seeing Mrs. Bai standing there stupidly at a loss, Xun Yingju observed the person who came. It was the woman who made sarcastic remarks by the stream at the entrance of the village the day before yesterday, and she knew it in her heart. Not long ago, he was sarcastic to her, and now he came to recognize her relatives. Isn't this a simple purpose? She didn't think too much, walked a few steps quickly, came to Bai's side, and pulled Bai's hand away without leaving a trace, with a smile on her face. , deliberately speaking in a sweet voice:"This aunt is joking. Although my surname is Xun, I dare not get married to the county magistrate. If the county magistrate finds out, he will definitely punish us. It's a crime that will lead to jail time."

Hearing this, everyone was deeply relieved, especially Mr. Bai and Aunt Cai. No matter what you say, we don't recognize this marriage. What can you do to me? You are not a relative of mine. Why should you use your elders to suppress us?

"The magistrate knew clearly what the girl said, so how could he misjudge it. Besides, you are his daughter, and there is no way I can let you go to jail."Liu is not simple either. When he saw that the other party refused to admit it, he immediately flattered Xun Hongde.

"My aunt's words make me feel ashamed. If I were the county magistrate's daughter, how could I be sent to live in this small mountain village? Not to mention other things, I didn't even have a bed or a morsel of food when I arrived?"As she said this, Xun Yingju's eyes turned red, and her words were full of grievances. She also meant, if I were really the daughter of the county magistrate, how could I be in such a state of destitution?

Sure enough, after hearing Xun Yingju's cry, Mrs. Liu's face turned pale and she cursed in her heart. Xun Hongde was not a thing, and his daughter was so heartless that she even refused to give them a grain of food, making it impossible for them to seek relatives. However, she was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She glanced at the small courtyard and thatched house and had an idea in her mind.

"The eldest niece joked, if it weren't for her biological daughter, how could the county magistrate let you live in this ancestral house, and how could he give you those several acres of good land?"Ms. Liu said with a smile.

What a smiling tiger. Xun Hongde gave her these just to get rid of the burden. Isn't it the deep love between father and daughter? He thought in his heart, but said, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, with She cried and said:"If Auntie doesn't believe it, you can go to the county magistrate's house and ask, we have no relationship at all."

Come to think of it, Xun Hongde wouldn't want to mess with such a relative. Otherwise, the Qin family wouldn't have sent a girl into the house to be a mother. They wouldn't even have gotten a good wife for the next generation. The Qin family could have become prosperous, just with Mrs. Xun's help. One person can make the Qin family prosperous, but now the Qin family is still a mountain villager, even without a house in Qingshui Town. Ms.

Liu didn't understand why Xun Yingju said that she had a benefactor relationship with the county magistrate, and secretly cursed this little girl in her heart Are you stupid, someone else's father who is not an official still has to go through various means to get married? You have a county magistrate biological father and you still try to separate the relationship. You are really a brainless girl. You can enjoy the blessings in Xun Mansion, but you have to go to the countryside. She came down to endure hardships and do business.

Even though she scolded the little girl hundreds of times in her heart, Mrs. Liu still refused to give up. She put away the smile on her face and glared at Xun Yingju fiercely. When she spoke, her tone became unkind and said:"I said Ju girl, you were not like this when you lived in the house. You had such a good temper, you were fat and healthy, you didn't need to do any housework, and you were beautiful. Why did your temperament change as soon as you arrived here?"

This alludes to Bai's inability to teach her daughter, and she raised her daughter to death in Hongshan Village. Xun Yingju's current behavior is all distorted by Bai's teaching.

"If your aunt is here to teach us mother and daughter a lesson, please come back, right? It’s not anyone else’s turn to dictate how we live our lives."After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Xun Yingju's face suddenly darkened. There is no need for their lives to be arranged by others. As

Mrs. Liu was chatting here, people in the village got the news and came to sell hawthorns and wild dates. There were more and more people in the courtyard. , some people listened from beginning to end. They all expected the Xun family to buy their own hawthorns, and did not dare to accuse the Xun family. They were neighbors in the same village and were not easy to mess with.

Originally, they thought it was just an ignorant aunt and a talented girl. The Qin family has been living in Hongshan Village for generations. As long as she makes a move, she can hold the mother and daughter in the palm of her hand and let them do whatever they want. The Xun family will also earn a lot of money. It’s natural to become the Qin family’s

"Okay, you two mother and daughter have made some money and then disown your relatives. You unscrupulous people, why don't we go to the Xun County Magistrate to judge the situation? Seeing that no one spoke for her, Ms. Liu simply sat down and made a fuss.
