"Hmph, she deserves to do a lot of evil." Back then, the old Jiao and Jiao bullied Wei and He, and Wei Chenglan had an extremely bad impression of her.

"Uncle, there is one more thing I didn't say, when my aunt and my mother gave birth, I don't know what they did, and they never had any more children."

Wei Chenglan's face changed suddenly, and after a while, she said hatefully: "No wonder no one buried her when she died, and she even did such a terrible thing!" ”

Thinking that her sister had always wanted to have a daughter, Wei Chenglan was angry: "Hmph, if she is still alive, see if I don't break her bones inch by inch." ”

Wen Jin waited for Wei Chenglan to vent almost before he said, "When my brother heard this, he was confused for two days, but now he is finally better." I don't dare to tell the second uncle and the second aunt, lest something happen, let them disappear as Qian Xiangui. ”

"Hmph, it's cheap, so he was beaten by dozens of boards and a stick."

"After the autumn, I will be sent to the Western Xinjiang military camp to be a military slave."

"That's pretty much it." Wei Chenglan finally let out a sigh of relief.

Wen Jin said goodbye from here and went to Shiwei Village to inspect his kiwi orchard.

Jiang Chun did a good job, Wen Jin walked over from the ground, along the way, carefully observed the pruning, moisture, etc., such a large area, from this end to that end, half an hour was not enough, she didn't even find anything inappropriate.

"Go back, I'll give Jiang Chun a bonus!" Wen Jin chattered all the way and walked into his yard.

When she opened the door, she saw a face, which made her stunned - it was He's.

He was also very embarrassed, looked at Wen Jin in a daze, and had nothing to say, thinking that at the beginning, she scolded Wen Jin's original owner, never had a good voice, when she remarried, Wen Jin knelt all night, begging her not to leave, He still did not hesitate, and left Wen Jin with a fever to Wei, fortunately, Wei and Qian Xian were sincere and kind-hearted, and tried their best to extend the medicine for Wen Jin, although Wen Jin's owner was still fragrant and died, but after she passed through, she still enjoyed the purest family affection in the world, otherwise, no matter how strong she was, Living in a loveless environment, you will have no nostalgia for this world, and you will give up on yourself and kill yourself.

He can't live anymore, so I think of her.

Seeing Wen Jin staring at him stunned, He Shi was first discouraged, and then became angry: "Look at what, look again, I am also your mother." ”

Wen Jin still had a little sympathy for the He family after knowing the evil things that Lao Jiao had done, but now when he faced this fierce face, the tenderness in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he replied coldly and unceremoniously: "When I was so sick that I was dying, how did I not know that I had a mother-in-law?" In this life, I only know that there are two aunts. ”

"You, you, you've grown up, haven't you? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know where you would die. "He hated it.

Zhai wanted to persuade on the side, but didn't know what to say, this woman came over, said that it was the owner's mother, she was confused to take it in, but I didn't expect that this mother, it was not right with her son at all, thinking of her kindness, adding to the blockage of the master, Zhai was so anxious that she turned in circles.

Wen Jin calmed down, what kind of anger is she with such a woman, she is just cold-blooded, but she has never harmed others, let her support herself.

"He's, I don't want to call you mother, don't put on music here, let's say, whether to weave clothes at home or work in the fields, choose the same."

"You, you dare me to work?"

"I want to sit and eat ready-made, I don't have it here, you see who is willing to take it in, and who to find." As soon as Wen Jin shook his hand, he was about to go to the inner courtyard, but He was in a hurry, and rushed up to grab Wen Jin, but was blocked by Zhai and Pomegranate.

"I'm her mother!"

Zhai was still a little hesitant, but Pomegranate said firmly: "I only listen to Gongzi, and then sprinkle it, see if I don't call the man over there and fork you out." ”

Zhai Shi persuaded: "Don't make trouble first, if you have something to say, the son is young, and the young man has a big temper, so you have to take your time." ”

He Shi thought about it, so hard, it is estimated that Wen Jin will really drive her away immediately, the world is so big, but there is no place for her, He Taohua couldn't help but feel sad, and tears fell down.

He has only been here for three days, and he has shrunk in the house every day, and he has not put on the identity of the master to be embarrassed, and Zhai is still in the mood to feel sorry for her: "You sit down first and wait, I will go in to help clean up the house, I haven't lived for a long time, and the quilt has to be dried." ”

"Didn't you just tan it two days ago?"

"If you don't live it, it'll be tidal again." As Zhai spoke, he hurriedly went in, busy with the pomegranate, Wen Jin sat under the toon tree gloomily, indifferently watching the two people in front of him walking back and forth, his heart was in a mess.

The quilt mattress was not damp at all, and I saw a little sunlight outside, so I took it in and spread it on the kang, and the hot water was boiled, and the pomegranate came over and asked Wen Jin if he wanted to take a bath.

"Okay." Wen Jin suddenly felt very tired, her mood, seeing the He family, was even more entangled, she didn't understand why there are always some people in the world who are unwilling to pay, but when they make demands on others, they are so arrogant.

Wen Jin made one out of paulownia wood according to the shape of the bath barrel in later generations, which was brushed with tree paint, purple and black in color, shiny and shiny, and the texture was relatively light, and the pomegranate could be moved by one person.

When the pomegranate boils water, put a bag of herbs, in summer, mosquitoes have begun to wreak havoc, with mugwort leaves, calamus, herbs and other spices, not only smell comfortable, but also have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, invigorating blood, and dehumidifying.

Wen Jin tried her best to empty her mind and enjoy a rare peace, she had experienced too many things during this time, which made her physically and mentally exhausted, and when she returned to the mountain nest, her family warmth warmed her cold heart, and when she came to Shiwei Village, she hoped to be alone quietly and treat her inner turmoil, the viciousness of Lao Jiao and Qian Xiangui was too subversive of Wen Jin's cognition, she was still strong at first, but when she arrived at home, the anger in her heart was vented, and Wen Jin felt particularly tired.

The weather was already hot, and Pomegranate helped to add some hot water from time to time, Wen Jin soaked for a quarter of an hour, Pomegranate helped rub her back, and Orange Guo forcibly pulled her up.

Wen Jin was wearing a white cotton gauze shirt, leaning lazily on the bamboo recliner, Zhai came in to bring her tea, and suddenly saw a peerless beauty, black and faint hair, hanging down from the back of the recliner like a waterfall, a small face that can be broken by blowing, black eyes like pearls, and a cherry mouth with a hanging gall nose, she thought that the ladies on the New Year's paintings could only be the colors of the fairies in the sky, but she didn't expect that there were better women in the world than the New Year's paintings.

The first thought that popped into Zhai's mind - if the emperor was a beauty pageant, her master would be qualified.

Seeing that her mother was standing like this, Orange Guo was so anxious that she looked at her, and finally had to cough heavily, which made Zhai wake up suddenly.

"I didn't say hello when I came in, what about the rules I taught you before?" Pomegranate has also grown up, and has been following Wen Jin, in front of the next person, he has long developed a prestige that is indispensable.

Zhai's legs bent and knelt on the futon in the middle of the house: "I, I ......"

"Don't be so reckless in the future."

"Yes!"

"The master is a woman's business, only a few of us are allowed to know, if I find out that someone knows, I will ask you."

"I promise, I promise never to pass on my ears." Zhai repeatedly assured, and even raised his hand to curse, and the pomegranate let her get up.

Orange Guo saw that his mother was punished, kept his head down, and used a cloth to help Wen Jin wipe his hair, after Zhai withdrew, Wen Jin gave Pomegranate a look, and Pomegranate took out a purse from a wicker box on the kang head, which was embroidered with orange and red, with a red silk background and a few pale green chrysanthemums on it.

Orange Guo took it in surprise, and was slapped by the hard little bump in the purse: "Childe? ”

"I'll give it to you." Wen Jin said.

"Orange fruit, your mother doesn't know if it's a son or a woman, it can be seen that you can really keep the secret, and if you do what you say, you should be rewarded."

"You can keep the money yourself, or give it to your mother." Wen Jin admonished, "Pomegranate, give her another packet of vanilla, the orange fruit is big, you can wear a sachet and dress up." ”

Pomegranate grinned and gave Orange Fruit a small paper bag.

In the evening, Zhai took the silver from her daughter, her mood was complicated, and when she was punished in the afternoon, she was very annoyed that her daughter had kept it secret for herself, and now, she has figured it out, and she swore to keep it secret from men, thinking that at the beginning, her daughter must have made such an oath. Orange Red is okay, after all, he is old and sensible, but Orange Fruit is still young, how difficult it is to be able to do what he says.

Back then, their family begged Wen Jin to take refuge, and now, if the master is doing well, they can live well. To be good to the master is to be good to yourself, Orange Guo is talking nonsense, in case it brings trouble to the master, and the good life of their family will be over.

Zhai Shi took out a small ball of cotton, opened his daughter's vanilla paper bag, pinched a little from it, rolled it in cotton, stuffed it into her purse, and took a piece of colored thread, twisted it into a double strand, tied a bow, and tied it to her daughter's skirt.

After this, Zhai's family was more attentive to Wen Jin, she always felt that the master was still a woman, and she did much better than men, plus she had such an excellent appearance, she would definitely marry a nobleman and be the wife of a nobleman, wouldn't she also be a nobleman? The Zhai family didn't dare to offend the nobles. At the same time, she was proud to be able to serve such a nobleman.

Wen Jin exiled herself, for three days, let Pomegranate take care of her own food, drink and clothing, she was only responsible for eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and her mood slowly improved.

On the fourth day, Wen Jin talked to several subordinates in the family one by one, Jiang Chun, Zhaocai, Zhai Shi, etc., listened to them comment on all the subordinates, and then gathered all the subordinates, and praised the two subordinates who agreed to be more diligent, knocked down to do things, and loved to play clever: "Don't let me hear the bad words of you two again, the consequences at that time are not something you can bear." ”

The two of them only promised to make corrections, Wen Jin asked them to stand aside and watch the praised person receive the reward, some only had a string of money, and some even added a bowl of slur meat.

Jiang Chun took the most, Wen Jin asked them not to spend the bounty indiscriminately, save it, if there is a woman outside who is willing to marry, it will be good to become a family.

A man who starts a family will have more responsibilities and no longer think about it, which is conducive to Wen Jin's management.

After dismissing the subordinates, Wen Jin asked the Zhai family to call the He family: "What do you want?" It's not okay to eat and live for nothing with me. Wen Jin doesn't care about raising an extra mouth, a woman in the He family can't eat much, but with her perception of the He family, this is a woman who has to make inches, she will think about the next step when she takes this step steadily, Wen Jin can't give her this opportunity, otherwise trouble is still to come.

"I'm your mother—"

"She's dead, I don't know you."

He Shi's face changed in shock, Wen Jin wondered why she reacted this way, shouldn't she be angry and quarrel with her?

Okay, it's good not to be noisy, Wen Jin didn't bother to think about it, and ordered: "You also see, I have more men and fewer women here, and those people's clothes can't be made, you have to spin a pound of cotton thread for me every day, medium thick, no thicker, and then, let the orange and red weave cloth and make clothes." If you make trouble, you will be punished with two more pairs of soles. ”

"You are so ruthless, I am so bad to raise you, you actually call me as a slave."

"I want you to raise me at the beginning, I might as well be a slave, I am beaten and scolded every day, and the Qian family meal I eat is not grown by you, what credit is there here?"

He gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Wen Jin, and finally had to nod and agree. Wen Jin was also a little surprised that it went so well, what about the strength of the fight between the He family and the Jiao family?

There were several houses in the outer courtyard, and Wen Jin asked the He family to live in the innermost one. There was a big kang in the house, and a spinning wheel was placed on the head of the kang, and there was a board cabinet by the window, which was full of bought cotton.

Wen Jin gave Wei an order: "Several women in the family will be under your control in the future, in addition to the cleaning of my yard, as well as the clothes and bedding of those men outside, my request is that you can wear patches, but you can't wear tattered and dirty ones." ”

"Yes!" Zhai suddenly felt that the responsibility was huge, in the past, she took her two daughters, just keep her head down and work, and be worthy of her conscience, but now, to ensure that, she has to make appropriate arrangements, and she must control the He family.

Wen Jin went to visit Wang Dashan at this time, and met Mingshan's daughter-in-law when she entered the door, seeing that she was dressed loosely and walking with her stomach up, she was obviously already happy.

"Congratulations, little sister-in-law."

Mingshan's daughter-in-law's face was flushed, and she couldn't hide her joy in her shyness: "Wen Jin's nephew is back?" ”

"I'm back, are Uncle Dashan and Uncle Mingshan at home?"

"Ouch, it's a coincidence that it's still here today."

Wang Dashan's son also won Xiucai last year, but he didn't get into the exam, and now he wants to send it to Zhuyun Academy, Wen Han went home for the New Year and knew it, and he wrote a letter to that side, but Zhuyun Academy didn't agree, and he thought that the ranking of the annual examination was low.

The gifts brought by Wen Jin were two of the "Annotations to the Four Books" that Wen Han helped collect.

"My brother only got these two copies, copied them out, and asked me to send them over, if I get any more, I will definitely not forget this one."

Dashan didn't know how rare this was, hearing Wen Jin say this, naturally a thousand thanks, Aunt Dashan was under the peach tree in the yard, set up a rattan table, served tea and poured water, Dashan and Mingshan sat down with Wen Jin.

In the past, the Dashan family did not have tea, nor did they serve snacks, everyone just chatted, but now, the situation is completely different.

Wen Jin was very interested in the donkey jerky made by Aunt Dashan: "This is good, when my fruit shop opens, I will put this one made by my sister-in-law on the market." ”

Dashan smiled: "His uncle's donkey broke his leg, and he had no choice but to kill it, so much meat, he can only dry the meat, otherwise what should I do?" ”

"It's delicious, sister-in-law can treat this as an industry, and in the future, uh-huh, maybe more money than you."

Dashan's wife listened on the side, not only gushing out of pride, coming to the Lin family to guard a man without legs, couldn't help but give birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a prosperous life, she is no longer the slender and wind-blown appearance of the year, much stronger, walking with her head up, covered in silk and satin, and wearing gold and silver on her head, there is nothing in the town that she is not envious.

She doesn't want to live to that point, she just wants to be able to do something and contribute to this family.

Mingshan looked like he had something to say, and just as Dashan had something to do and walked away, he lowered his voice: "That snake skin, do you still want it?" ”

"If you want it, give it to me when it's dried."

"I've saved up a sack."

"Okay, okay, bring it to my house in the evening."

Those snake skins are all randomly obtained, and they must not be as neat as those raised in captivity, with a single variety and different colors, they have to be matched differently, Wen Jin considered going to the provincial capital, so he hired a literati who was good at Danqing but had no reputation to help with the design.

There are many scholars who have no fame in the provincial capital, and they still go to take the children's examination at the age of thirty or forty, and some people are forced to make a living, and have to find something to do.

Such a person does not need to be paid a lot, as long as he is given enough respect, and with him, he needs a skilled tailor.

Wen Jin saw that there was another way to make money, and she was in a good mood, and the pomegranate helped her hold a large box of donkey jerky given by the Wang family, and the master and servant returned home happily.

Wen Jin spent two days arranging the affairs of Shiwei Village, and was about to return to Shanwo Village, when Wang Dashan and his wife came again and sent a large package of dried meat, which was newly made chicken jerky.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" It takes at least five or six chickens to make it.

It turned out that Wang Dashan's son Wang Kuixing came home and saw the two books, such as the treasure, Dashan knew that this manuscript was hard to find, and the couple didn't know how to express their gratitude, so they killed all the chickens in the house overnight.

"Uncle Dashan, who is with whom of our two families, don't be like this again, a few chickens in your family are still laying eggs."

Aunt Dashan pulled Wen Jin movingly: "This child, what are a few chickens, what you bring back is more precious." The two said a lot of touching words before saying goodbye and leaving, Wen Jin and Shi Pomegranate went to call Shi Qiwang and Shi Qiyue, and prepared to return to Shanwo Village. Walking to the door of Shi Zhenzong's house, Wen Jin couldn't help but knock on the door and go in, gave Shi Yaozong the dried meat in his hand, and asked him to send it to the post station the next day and send it to Shi Zhenzong and Qian Jun.
