Chapter 158: The Self-Proclaimed Handle

th wasn't moving around much before, but it came out suddenly this time. The break is a little bloody.Everyone was afraid of Jia Yin and tried their best to please her.Jiayin's teeth were chattering,...When Mrs. Cui saw her like this, she quickly changed the subject and asked about other matters in the manor. 。Here, they were dining and chatting happily, but over at the neighboring Qiao family's estate, there was no such merriment. 。When she married her daughter into the Marquis's mansion, in order to make it easier to move around later, the Jiao family specially bought a place next to the mansion at a high price. 。Now that the manor had been reclaimed by Mrs. Cui, the Jiao family finds everything about it disagreeable. 。Especially these past few days, the Cui family's farm has been moving things around, registering them in the warehouse. The manpower that the Marquis's Mansion had left behind has been secretly sending messages back and forth quite often. 。Remembering the grain in the storeroom, Jiao felt a burning rage throughout his entire body. 。At this moment, she was sitting in the yard, listening to her mother's scolding. 。"You're just too easy to take advantage of. You're just a lowly wife, what are you afraid of her doing She brought some dowry, fine, give it to her, but in the end she stole the entire village!" 。Our family's food supply is running low, and we were hoping to borrow some from you. But now it seems like that's not going to happen anymore. 。" You blame me for the lack of food at home Who let you sell all our reserves With the emperor moving the capital, everyone is gathering here, making food and gold very expensive. Don't you know that" “Of course I know that’s why we sold it!” Mrs. Jiao replied defiantly, “We were relying on you to provide for us, but who knew you would be so useless! " 。"

Jiao Shi was so angry that she got up and wanted to leave. She shouldn't have come back to her mother's house." 。Originally, the Hou Mansion didn't have supplies from the farm. She wanted to go back to her natal home to get some, but she couldn't get anything and was scolded half to death by her mother. 。Just at that moment, a woman suddenly ran in to report. 。"Madam, there's good news! The servant woman from the neighboring house has brought a child back from outside and is standing at the door chatting and laughing with Mr. Liu." 。"What" Before Gao could rejoice, Madam Jiao was already standing up in surprise. "This child might be a wild seed she had outside! No wonder she insisted on divorcing the Marquis when she went to Jiangnan, it turns out there's someone else." 。"" Jo was overjoyed, but she also knew she had to be cautious. She quickly changed into a plain peasant's rough cotton dress and then crept over to the neighboring estate to take a look. 。Maybe she didn't know that her outing had caused trouble for Mrs. Cui. Now, having eaten and drunk her fill, she was hugging Mrs. Cui's neck and walking out. 。Liu Zhizhen had people prepare a basket of eggs, two boxes of soft and easily digestible snacks, and two pieces of soft cotton cloth, all put into the carriage. He instructed his foster sister 。"This is for the little girl, it's not yours!"Mrs. Cui laughed when she heard this, "Understood, brother-in-law loves your daughter so much, why don't you and sister-in-law have another one soon" 。" I'm not blaming you, you gave me so much work to do, I haven't seen your sister-in-law in three days. " 。“Please forgive me,

Madam Cui quickly apologized, “When I get back from the pebble beach tomorrow, I’ll take care of this place. Brother-in-law, please hurry back and keep your wife company.”

"You're finished. Once Zhuangzi is in your hands, I fear he will be ruined within days." 。Let me get this sorted out, and I'll find you two reliable people to handle things. 。" Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, making his disdain for his sister-in-law blatant. 。Finally, he held Jia Yin's chubby little hand and shook it, "Funiu, let's play again next time. Uncle will prepare some delicious food for you." 。"Thank you, uncle!" Jiayin nodded with a smile, her adorable expression made Liu Zhiheng sigh in fondness again. 。Soon, the small convoy set off. 。The carriage ahead was carrying Madame Cui, with her little daughter Jia Yin. Behind it came a horse-drawn carriage and a donkey cart, pulling an old farmer. One cart carried coarse grain, the other good seeds. 。Before she arrived, she had been looking forward to it. But after only half a day on the road, she started missing her parents and grandmother, eagerly hoping to get home soon. 。Mrs. Cui didn't restrict her, letting her play freely. 。But Jia Yin got tired of playing and fell asleep snuggling in her arms. 。

Madam Cui gently patted the plump baby in her arms, and suddenly felt a pang of longing. If she were to marry again, would she also have a daughter or son like this Wouldn't that be very happy

Thinking this way, she also felt sleepy, hugged Jiayin and slowly fell asleep.

They had no idea that someone, feeling they had caught them red-handed, was so ecstatic they were almost delirious...Over at the gravel beach, the Li family was also unconsciously hoping and watching the entrance, unable to take their eyes off it even when they were busy with something else. 。In daily life, people are used to carrying her with them, either on their backs or in their arms. 。All of a sudden, the child was gone. Everyone felt empty and couldn't even finish their lunch. It just didn't feel right without him. 。Finally, when Mrs. Cui's carriage returned, the entire Li family, young and old, rushed to greet it. 。The old woman didn't care about her aching shoulders, she scooped up her sleepy granddaughter in her arms, "Oh, my dear granddaughter, you're back!" Tao Hongying also quickly patted her daughter's arms and legs, which made Cui Fu cry with laughter, "Funiu is doing well, she eats and drinks well, and has a lot of fun." 。"We're sorry, it's not that we don't trust you. It's just that this child has always been with us, and suddenly going out for a while would make the whole family feel lost." 。" Jiayin's heart felt warm and bubbly, but she was afraid of hurting Grandma's shoulder wound, so she gave Grandma a big kiss and then ran into her mother's arms. 。Seeing her brothers come over, she pouted and kissed each of them on the cheek, making Jia'an and Jiaxi clamor to play with their little sister. 。Tao Hongying placed her daughter on Jiaxi's back and instructed, "Just stay nearby, don't go too far." 。“

Jia Yin hurried to reach out from inside the car, “Snacks, my snacks!”

Cui's wife smiled and took a box, handing it to Jia An who was holding ” 。The three siblings ran away happily, clearly to find a place to share. 。Everyone laughed, and just then the village head arrived with some people. This was when he got down to business. 。Liu Zhiheng found a farmer surnamed Han, an old man over fifty. Just looking at his dark complexion and calloused hands, you could tell he was a seasoned worker who spent his years toiling in the fields. 。The village chief was extremely pleased. After a few pleasantries, he had someone take Old Han up the mountain. 。The villagers had already sent the saplings up the mountain, but they were too afraid to plant them. They worried that something might be wrong and desperately needed guidance. 。Mrs. Cui then pointed to the seeds and said to everyone, “These are good seeds from my brother-in-law’s farm. You can plant them with confidence.” 。Besides, I also had someone bring one thousand kilograms of coarse grain. Uncle Village Head, please don't mind it, keep it for everyone as rations. 。"No dislike, no dislike, this is a timely help, it's a big favor." 。"The village head was so happy, he loudly called for Li Laoer to come forward." 。"Lao Er, remember this well. In the autumn, we'll double the good seeds and increase the coarse grains by 20%." 。Li La'er responded, immediately took out his charcoal pencil, and scribbled two notes in his pocket notebook. 。Mrs. Cui still wanted to stop her, she was afraid that the villagers would be so polite, so she didn't bring much coarse grain. 。However, Lao Li grabbed her hand and said, “The village head arranged it for a reason. No one's grain comes from the wind.” 。If you pay back what you borrow, it will be easier to borrow again. 。" That's right," the village head smiled and nodded, "Our village has a large population, so it's not easy to cultivate the habit of asking for everything. " 。Lady Ye gave the sapling to the tree and recorded everything in her accounts. From now on, she will need to provide capital. 。Now everyone has mountains and land. As long as they put in the effort, life will definitely be better. 。Then Mrs. Cui no longer insisted, but in her heart she had even more admiration for everyone. 。Such hardworking and self-reliant people, who wouldn't like them 。w thousand to fulfill their wishes, but those who thought this way were incredibly foolish.True wisdom brings no joy at this moment, but rather furrows the brow.In the garden of a certain manor, three...
