In the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and all kinds of new herbs are growing lushly.

Luo Qingqing was collecting medicine while teaching Xu to distinguish medicine, and a few back baskets were all filled before noon.

After picking, Xu Shi weighed a few baskets and said happily: "Qingqing, I picked a lot today, and my mother estimated that there would be forty or fifty catties of herbs." ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingqing estimated, "So much, we can earn hundreds of copper coins today." Plus the money earned last month, mother, we should have a silver tael! ”

Xu was overjoyed, "One or two?" You know a lot of people who can't earn a silver or two in half a year. ”

"By the way, mother, let me ask you, do you have anything you particularly want?" Luo Qingqing was interested and asked with a smile.

"This, my mother doesn't have any ideas."

"Then think about it."

"I, I want two acres of land to grow food. When your father was here, we also made a living from farming. Alas, my mother blames herself, you said that your father hasn't come back yet, and our family's mother hasn't saved a few points, so she asked your two uncles to rob it. Speaking of these, Xu was very guilty.

In Luo Qingqing's memory, when Luo Dahai was at home, he had a very good relationship with the Xu family, and the two of them really farmed and lived, although the family of three was not rich, but they were happy.

Later, a young man from Luo Dahai came to him to go out to make a living, saying that he earned a lot of money outside.

Luo Dahai was moved, so he went out with him, saying that he must earn a lot of silver so that their mother and daughter can live a good life.

At the beginning, Luo Dahe and Luo Datie took good care of their mother and daughter and helped them everywhere.

But later, Luo Dahai didn't come back for a whole year.

The family was anxious and asked someone to inquire, but Luo Dahai and the little one had no news.

In the second year, the two uncles were indifferent to their mother and daughter, and the Xu family did all the big and small things in the family alone.

In the third year, Luo Dahai still didn't come back, and the two uncles completely turned their faces, saying that the Xu family did not give birth to a son and was not qualified to plant the Luo family's land.

Xu went to his parents-in-law to cry, but his parents-in-law couldn't bear it at first.

However, Wang Caihua and Sun Juanzi spread false rumors everywhere in the village, saying that the Xu family was secretly mixed with other men in the village, and they were not clean.

They have noses and eyes when they talk, and the old man and old lady of the Luo family hate their mother and daughter even more.

In the end, they were not left with a single piece of land.

The Xu family can only make a living by chopping and selling firewood.

The people's hearts are cold, and the Xu family's life is getting more and more difficult, and the people in the village look down on them more and more, and even the Xu family's maiden family has slowly cut off contact.

Thinking about how many grievances and hardships their mother and daughter have suffered in the past five or six years.

It's no wonder that the original body has become so cowardly.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingqing really felt sorry for the Xu family.

"Mother, since you want to farm, then I'll rent you a few acres of land to plant, okay?"

Luo Qingqing has known Li Rui'er. Most of the fields in the countryside belonged to the rich squires and rich owners, and the land planted by ordinary peasants was rented, and they could be planted for three years and five years after paying some silver and pressing their fingerprints.

When Xu heard this, he was a little moved, but he was very hesitant, "But, that one wants silver." ”

"yes, don't we have silver now? This tael of silver, but a thousand copper plates, we can rent two acres of land. ”

"That's all."

"That's right, mother, in this case, let's go sell the herbs first, and when we come back, we'll go to rent the field!"

"Hey, mother listens to you."

Luo Qingqing said that he would do it, and went to the town first with the basket on his back.

After selling the herbs, he went directly to the rich man's house in the town, and most of the fields in Liushu Village were rented out by the rich man.

According to the price demanded by the rich man, 500 copper plates per acre of land could be rented for three years. It just so happened that Luo Qingqing rented two acres of land at the entrance of the village under the mountain for one or two pieces of silver.

On the same day, the steward of the rich man's family came to Liushu Village to allocate the two acres of land to them, and greeted the village chief.

This time it made the Xu family very happy, and her family finally had a field again.

That night, Xu handed over the task of cooking to Luo Qingqing, and he turned out a hoe that he hadn't used for several years, and polished it very brightly.

The next day, Luo Qingqing's mother and daughter got up, one went to the mountain to collect medicine, and the other dug at the bottom of the mountain.

When the sun rose, the sky was hot, and Luo Qingqing picked the wild fruits on the mountain and sent them down to the Xu family.

Xu is following the ground and talking to a few aunts, talking and laughing in a good mood.

They saw Luo Qingqing coming down, and surrounded them with a honeycomb.

"Ah, Qingqing girl, have you come down to collect medicine?"

"Yes, I'm here to deliver wild fruits to my mother." Luo Qingqing distributed the wild fruits in his clothes one by one to several aunts, "You guys eat too." ”

"Qingqing, this girl is really sensible." An eldest lady took it and wiped it with her sleeve and ate it.

"No, Qingqing has grown up, and I'm happy to be a mother. Qingqing has money, so he rents me a field to plant. When Xu said this, his face was full of satisfaction, and he even had a little bit of showing off.

This has changed since Luo Qingqing, and even the Xu family has become a little rich.

"Your family Qingqing is really a good girl, unlike my son, who is unfilial, married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother." The aunt of the Zhao family was angry when she mentioned it.

"Hey!" The eldest lady of the Ma family patted her thigh, "By the way, Qingqing and her mother, you are a mother, and you can't patronize yourself to enjoy your happiness." You see how adult-aged your daughter is, you have to find a mother-in-law quickly. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The others also followed Ying He and said: "Now that your family is living well, it's time to choose a good son-in-law." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law, to be honest, I'm also in a hurry, if you have a suitable one, you have to think about my family."

"Don't worry, we're on us!"

These aunts and aunts were laughing here, and Luo Qingqing couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

She should have thought that when women of this age got together, they were interested in this kind of media pulling line.

This place should not stay for a long time, it is not suitable to stay for a long time!

Luo Qingqing took advantage of their laughter and quickly slipped away to the town.

Xu laughed with the ladies in the village, they didn't see it, not far from the field, a black and fat figure hid and listened to all their words.

It was getting late, and the farmers went home to cook.

Sun Juanzi also got out of the crops, but she didn't go home, but went straight to Luo Dahe's house.

Bang bang bang!

"Big brother, sister-in-law, open the door, why did you cut the door so early?" This man came to the door of Luo Dahe's house and shouted while banging on the door.

Inside, Wang Caihua's voice was not very happy and opened the door, "Didn't you look at the darkness, why did you come here so late." ”
