Zhang Gui snorted coldly, "He walks around our house a lot on weekdays, why is it so difficult for me to do some work today?" Hmph, it's not that dogs look down on people. ”

Peach Blossom was choked by her brother and blushed, lowered her head and put down the box and went back to the house.

Zhang Gui and his entourage got up early and went out, and rushed back at night when it was slightly dark. When the two left, they brought more than a dozen gift boxes, and when they came back, they only brought two or three lonely ones. Pu Cao couldn't smile when he saw it, but Zhang Gui, who was worried about being ridiculed, was greatly relieved.

Ye Mei didn't know whether she went home and listened to her mother's advice, or if she didn't like the farmer's chickens and dogs. Since the day I returned home, I have been doing needlework in the house or reading a few lines of poetry that have no illness and moaning, not to mention walking around the village, and even my own yard is rarely set foot in. And the little maid is also missing every day, and the Zhang family married a new daughter-in-law, but it is as clean as before she didn't marry.

In this regard, Pucao is very happy to see it, and goes to the field every day to take care of the rice seedlings, and goes to the vegetable fields when he has free time. Seeing that the cucumber on the cucumber shelf was as thick as a finger was really a joyful thing.

In this way, after seven or eight days, suddenly this night the little bird ran back in panic, and after talking to Ye Mei for a long time in the house, Ye Mei shouted loudly to the spring warbler to boil the bath water for her, and shouted that the little bird would find clothes and jewelry for her.

Zhang Gui came in from outside the courtyard, heard that she was so happy, and saw that what she found was a red gold head, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Could it be that the Yue family has something happy that can't be done, you have to dress up like this." Although our Zhang family has passed the December filial piety period, it is not good to be too public, you wear some silver bracelets and the like. ”

Ye Mei is on the rise, where is he willing to listen to his words, and still pick clothes and jewelry. Zhang Gui was annoyed, took the book and slammed the door and went to the East House.

Pu Cao heard the two bickering in the East Chamber, and was puzzled by Ye Mei's strange appearance, so he took Peach Blossom and Shanzi to find Fang Jie to gossip.

Fang Jie had just finished eating, and was walking around the courtyard with his hands behind his back to eat, when he saw that their sister and brother were coming, he called Dongzi to get gadgets and coax the two children to play, and then took the grass and sat under the tree and whispered.

Pu Cao grabbed the melon seeds on the stone table and said while slowly knocking them, "If you enter the city again tomorrow, send the spring warbler to the shop to help for a few days, and then exchange the magpie for me." ”

Fang Jie also grabbed a handful of melon seeds to peel Ren'er for her, and said with a smile, "What, but I think Chunying has a soft temper and can't deal with the master and servant?" ”

Pu Cao glared at him and pouted, "You're gloating, hmph, let you change people, you'll be replaced." I'm already in a bad mood, and you're still messing with me. ”

"Haha, don't be annoyed." Fang Jie put a few melon seeds in Pucao's hand, and coaxed, "I'll tell you something, and you'll be happy to keep it." ”

Pu Cao blinked, his mind turning to guess what Fang Jie was going to say. Suddenly, she remembered Ye Mei's happy and shy appearance, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she whispered, "You... It can't be that little guy, right? ”

"Clever!" Fang Jie slapped her forehead appreciatively, "That Mrs. Chu is a woman in the back house, and she thinks she is ruthless, but in fact, she is just talking on paper." She gave people a high price for her teeth, and she wanted to sell the little guy far away. As a result, the Wang family in the city was in a hurry to buy people to do work, and the little guy was easily resold by people. I only let people scratch people's teeth and ask them to find it easily, and today I just 'happened' to let the little maid's brother meet. ”

"You don't want to arrange for him to meet Ye Mei and then send them to elope, right?" Pu Cao was so shocked that most of the melon seeds in his hand fell, "If Zhang Gui knew, he wouldn't have killed you." ”

Fang Jie was amused, grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her again, and responded, "I'm still afraid that he won't be able to do it?" Besides, Ye Mei had already had the idea of leaving with her lover, and I just helped her. In a few days, in order to raise more money, Ye Mei will definitely instigate Zhang Gui to split up and live another life.

When the time comes, you can just make a show in front of the villagers, don't feel sorry for your family. As long as the separation is smooth and you are free, it is better than anything else.

As for the family property they took away, you earned it back with your hard work, I will never let them take it away so plainly, and I will definitely find a way to get it back for you. Good no good? ”

Pu Cao frowned lightly, although she also felt that Fang Jie had a point, but when she turned her head to look at Peach Blossom who was playing happily not far away, she hesitated a little, "I really don't like your brother, but he is Peach Blossom's only relative after all." This girl is sensible and well-behaved, and has always treated me as a sister or even a mother, and if one day she knew that we designed her brother like this, she would probably never be close to me again. ”

Fang Jie was a little helpless when he heard this, stretched out his hand to grab her, and comforted her in a low voice, "As the old saying goes, people don't die for themselves. The Zhang family is your shackles, if you don't come out, how can you live a good life with me? Besides, Ye Mei already has different intentions, let's just seek some benefits for ourselves, and it would be better if we gave Zhang Gui, a proud and noble boy, some lessons.

I will let people pay careful attention and not hurt Zhang Gui's life. In this way, Peach Blossom can't blame you. Perhaps, Zhang Gui has experienced some changes and is more stable in life, and Peach Blossom will thank you. ”

Pu Cao couldn't help but sneer when he heard that he insisted on plotting other people's things so righteously, reached out and pinched his waist, and complained in a low voice, "The truth of the world has been told to you." If I don't agree, are you going to go until the middle of the night? ”

Fang Jie lowered his head and kissed her on the neck, and responded, "With you by your side, it's good to talk about Tianming." ”

The two laughed sweetly and said a few words, seeing that the sky was already dark, Pu Cao pushed Fang Jie away and got up to tidy up his clothes, and finally said in a low voice, "You can do this thing, I'm busy taking care of rice seedlings and vegetable fields, but I don't have time to pay attention to these." ”

"The little one obeys, and the lady is waiting for the good news." Fang Jie pretended to be a little servant and saluted respectfully. provoked Pu Cao to laugh and pinch him again, and then called the two children to go home together.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Mei dressed up in a fancy way, and took a car out of the village, and Zhang Gui's face was as black as ink all day. As a result, the red and swollen Ye Mei came back at night, and he didn't know what he said, and he took out a box of good paper and ink, and he changed his smile again.

Shanzi hid behind her sister and whispered while grimacing, "Crying and laughing, puppy peeing!" ”

Peach Blossom was afraid that her brother would hear and scold Shanzi again, so she dragged him to the greenhouse to play.

Since that day, Ye Mei and her little maid have become little ants who move, secretly dumping dowries and sending them into the city to sell them day by day, and then rushing back happily after meeting their lovers. But Zhang Gui was coaxed into smiling every time because of a few soft words or some small objects, and he became a real blind man.

Pu Cao looked at it coldly, and there were a few times when he was really angry and wanted to remind Zhang Gui of a few words. It's a pity that Zhang Gui saw her come forward, and immediately gave way as if avoiding the plague, and even said at the end, "Sister-in-law, I have married a wife and started a family, and I hope that my sister-in-law will avoid suspicion." ”

Pu Cao was so angry that he almost spurted blood from his mouth, he had never seen a shameless person, but he had never seen such a fool and thought he was a saint. She simply stopped doing this boring thing, and was busy in the fields every day, rarely staying at home.

Soon, the day came to the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, and dozens of acres of vegetable fields in the village were already fruitful. Pucao discussed a few words with Fang Jie and the villagers, and found a good morning to start picking.

Looking at the green cucumbers with thorny tops, the purple and black eggplants are long and smooth, and the green peppers are bent and cocked like horns, the people in the village are happy.

Shopkeeper Luo took more than a dozen young men to help load the vegetable baskets properly, and finally drove more than a dozen carriages back to the city. Fang Jie and Pu Cao gave a few words, and also went into the city to take care of them.

The villagers looked forward to it for two days, and finally brought Fang Jie back on the third day. Needless to say, after everyone gathered at the ancestral hall, the white flower silver family divided more than a dozen taels. The old people were smiling with wrinkles, the children were also making a fuss about snacks and toys, and the little daughters-in-law were clamoring to buy new clothes made of floral cloth, and for a time the whole village was as lively as boiling water in a pot.

It is rare that Xiaoque has not been sent into the city by the Lord to pawn objects this day, she is not very old, she is idle at home, and when she hears that there is a bustle in the village, she will go to the ancestral hall to visit. As a result, the white silver shook her dizzy, and she had to run home to report to her master.

"Miss, everyone in the village is sharing the silver in the ancestral hall, saying that they got it by selling vegetables in the city. Slave maid remembers, doesn't our Zhang family also have two acres of vegetable fields? Isn't there a share of silver? The slave maid also heard from those people that thanks to the little widow's advice, she must have received more this time. ”

Ye Mei is embroidering a purse, and two lifelike mandarin ducks are floating in the lotus pond on the bottom of the big red satin. Needless to say, this must have been for her lover. When she heard this, she put down her needle and thread and asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes, not from other people's gossip?" ”

"Oh, miss, why don't you believe in slaves." Xiao Que was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "The slave maid saw several boxes of silver and white flowers with her own eyes, how could it be fake?" If the young lady still didn't believe it, she would lie down at the window and watch, and in a moment the little widow would come back with the silver in her hand. ”

Ye Mei really opened a window crack and waited carefully for Pucao to come back.

Pu Cao didn't let her wait long, but the tea went into the courtyard. This year, she threw herself into the rice field, and the family's two acres of vegetable fields were thrown to Chunni and her family to take care of. Now that vegetables are sold in the city, Chunni has to give all the silver to Pucao. Pu Cao naturally wouldn't agree, and the two sides quarreled and made a fuss. In the end, Li Zheng made the final decision, and half of the family could be considered to have a distinction.

Pu Cao carried a cloth bag with silver in his hand and thought about what had happened as he walked, which was very funny. Although Chunni is a mother, she has not seen any growth in her actions, and just now she hugged her waist with both hands, and she was in a posture of not letting her go without collecting money.

This reminded her of the time when the peony master and servant came to make trouble, and Chunni was also so stunned and rushed to save her brandishing a kitchen knife. In the eyes of outsiders, they may feel that Chunni is a little straightforward, but in her eyes, she can only see Chunni's sincerity towards herself.

Now that she is living a new life, not to mention the rest, if she can get such a good sister, God will treat her well.
