Chapter 3: Sold for Silver

Hearing this, Xi Duyun was also stunned, although she has now taken over someone else's body, she is still different from the original owner in nature, and the marriage contract naturally cannot be taken seriously, but if she withdraws from the marriage......

She tentatively raised her head and glanced at Qi Lichen, but saw that the other party's eyebrows were deep, and he was also looking back at her, how could this look be the same as going to the slaughterhouse?

Xi Duyun coughed secretly, and reached out to snatch the title deed back from Xi Duyu's hand, "Since they have all been returned, it is naturally ......"

Unexpectedly, Qi Lichen took a step ahead of her and held the title deed tightly in his hand, "Look at me, what Dusk Yu said is that the dowry given out naturally cannot be returned, so it is better to stay with me to help you keep it, and then entrust it to you when the lady passes the door in the future." ”

Xi Duyun's ears and cheeks suddenly turned red, and he stomped his feet angrily, "Who is your lady, in broad daylight, you are not ashamed!" Anyway, if I put it here, the second uncle and aunt will come to ask for it again sooner or later, so I will temporarily put it with you to help us keep it, so as to avoid many incidents, and they will not dare to make trouble with you. ”

Qi Lichen carefully folded the title deed and put it into the mezzanine of his clothes, patted it with his hand, raised his head and pursed his lips and pulled out a smile, "Don't worry, with me, I will protect you." ”

"Oh yes~ great, then when my brother comes back from high school, will I marry my sister as a bride?" Xi Duyu grabbed Xi Duyun with one hand and Qi Lichen with the other, overlapping the hands of the two together, "Then no one will dare to bully my sister again." ”

Qi Lichen covered her hand with her backhand, and there was a little sweat on the warm palm, and she trembled slightly, "Okay." ”

Xi Duyun puffed out his eyes wide, staring at the hand covering the back of his hand, his cleanliness was like ten thousand ants biting her on the heart, and suddenly his fingers curled, and he flicked it on the back of Qi Lichen's hand, so startled that he subconsciously let go of his hand.

"You just had a mosquito in your hand, I'll bounce it off for you."

Where do mosquitoes come from in broad daylight?

Qi Lichen was stunned for a moment, looking at her nervous little hands and hands, and laughed in his heart: "The cold dew in autumn is coming, there are many mosquitoes, ants and insects, you two sisters are at night, but remember to close the door." ”

After Qi Lichen left, Xi Duyun breathed a sigh of relief, and the previous discomfort also dissipated.

Bringing Xi Duyu back to the house to fall asleep, she quietly walked to the place where the food had just been put and observed carefully.

Fortunately, the big red envelope pattern on it was still there at this time, but compared to before, there was no sign of flickering, and it was like a piece of red paper covering the cloth bag.

What's in this red envelope?

Will it fail?

Xi Duyun was surprised in her heart, but she still carefully stretched out her finger and gently poked the upper right corner of the red envelope with the tip of her finger.

This, this, this...... What the hell?! Is it second-hand?

She guessed that she stepped forward and poked a finger at the round bubble in the middle, but as soon as she touched the red envelope, she saw that the red envelope opened by itself, and then a few taels of silver jumped out of it, and jumped directly to the ground with elasticity.

As the silver pair landed on the ground and turned into a solid body, the layer of red that had originally covered the grain cloth bag quickly became light and blurred until it disappeared.

"Huh? Hey, hey, and this operation? She stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, and quickly calmed down, although these silver taels are not much, but in this ancient time when it is difficult to buy an inch of money, at least it can ensure that she and her sister will not go hungry for a month.

This is tantamount to pie in the sky for Xi Duyun, and it just happened to smash her bowl.

Xi Duyun didn't have time to think about how the silver appeared out of thin air, so she quickly moved the grain into the back room, poured out some rice in a small bag, and then hid the remaining half of the bag in the bottom corner of the cabinet, in case the greedy second uncle and aunt came to grab the food at night.

After all this work, the willow branches were already on the moon, and Xi Duyun simply washed up and fell asleep with the silver in his arms.

Early the next morning, Xi Duyun ordered her sister's food and went to the field alone, at this time it was almost autumn, and the grain had already matured and hung heavily in the rice field, and the villagers who harvested the grain could be seen everywhere in the ridges.

"Twenty acres of ......" Xi Duyun stood on the ground and looked at the golden one in front of him like an ocean, which was a little dazzling under the sunlight.

"Yo, the grain of twenty acres of land is ripe, it's a pity, blessed to see that there is no life to enjoy, and a person is tired to death, tsk." Second Uncle Xi, who was passing by the Xi family's field, glanced at Xi Duyun a few times, his mouth curled, and he suddenly said loudly.

Xi Duyun didn't pay attention to it, just turned around.

In the past, when the grain was ripe, Xi Duyun also went back to help, but the amount of work was too large, and she would definitely not be able to complete a female doll, and Second Uncle Xi would also ask some young people in the village to help, plus the brothers of the Li family, it was a big deal to cook a pot of rotten meat and rice, and the hospitality would be over.

But this year......

"Stinky girl, don't think that we will help you harvest, since the land is your own now, then you can collect it yourself!" Second Uncle Xi saw Xi Duyun like this, rolled his eyes angrily, pursed his lips, but did not turn around and leave immediately, deliberately dragging the time, just waiting for this stinky girl to beg for mercy.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Xi Duyun's mouth, and she didn't think about the second uncle's falling stone, since she asked for these twenty acres of land, she naturally had a way to harvest it!

"Second uncle, you should worry about your own rations for the second half of the year." Pinching the few taels of silver in his arms, Xi Duyun turned around and walked towards the village.

Could it be that Second Uncle Xi is allowed to invite helpers, and she is not allowed to spend money to find someone to help?

These days, silver is much more valuable than rotten meat rice!

Soon, the news that Xi Duyun had hired villagers to harvest spread in the village, and those villagers who had no land at home applied one after another, and in less than a day, they gathered all the manpower, and with the help of everyone, all the twenty acres of land were harvested in two days.

Not only that, but there are also some women in the village who have received money to help, seeing that the Xi Duyun sisters are pitiful, and the place at home is really dilapidated, they also took the initiative to help her pull the grain to the door of her house to dry, and after drying, she packed it in a cloth bag and sent it to her home in person, and she was extremely enthusiastic.

"Big sister, if you need help in the future, just ask, your aunt is next door, you're welcome, last time your second aunt didn't know about it, I can see it clearly, it's a black-hearted person, in the future, she will dare to bully you again, you come to the door to find your aunt, and your aunt will help you get angry."

An aunt next door accepted a piece of broken silver from Xi Duyun, and when she left, Xi Duyun specially gave her half a bag of food, which was grateful for three days.

For a while, Xi Duyun became a little expert praised by everyone in the village, kind and capable!

And the Li family, who learned all this, suddenly couldn't sit still, and smashed the bowl angrily at home.

"Didn't you say that in a few days she would come and beg for mercy herself? Look at that little! It's been a few days! She's turned the sky upside down! Li pulled Second Uncle Xi's ear and called, "Her land is finished!" What about our land? You don't want to go to the harvest yet! ”

Although there is only a few points of land, but in the past, Xi Duyun helped to harvest, but now there is one less person, there is no call, but the harvest of a few points of land makes these two people push me back, and no one moves, seeing that everyone in the village has helped each other to complete the harvest, and there is only a piece of Uncle Xi's house left, hanging bare in the middle of the ridge.

"But it's raining, I'll go ...... when the rain stops."

As a result, the heavy rain continued for several days, and the village was flooded everywhere.

Finally, after the rain and the sky was clear, Second Uncle Xi slowly took a look at the field with a sickle, because most of the rice harvested in time had been flooded, and some of it was washed away by the flowing water, and the rest were either moldy or sprouted, even if they were snatched back, they couldn't eat it anymore!

"Oops, my crops!" Second Uncle Xi wailed, and cried in the ground for a long time, looking around, the surrounding rice fields were all clean, but their house was a mess of mud.

Knowing that the grain had been washed away, Li was so angry that his heart and liver hurt.

"How can we live this life when there is no food?" Li howled for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Huh? Wrong! Where did this little cheap hoof come from, and asked for help? ”

Hearing her say this, Second Uncle Xi also felt strange, and immediately the two of them came to the door with a broken sickle.
