Chapter 38: The Trick of Farming

The patriarch shook his head.

"If it's just you, then everyone in our Heshan Village will suffer. But your Jian Erlang is just a door-to-door son-in-law, an outsider, we are justified and clean. ”

Chen Xiaonian's heart tightened.

"Patriarch, what you said are trying to favor Chen Xiangwen?"

Erlang's eyes sank.

He brought his little daughter-in-law here, thinking that this person was quite famous and majestic in Heshan Village, and it would not be a problem for him to handle big and small things, but he didn't expect them to come by mistake today.

The patriarch sighed: "Xiao Nian, why are you unreasonable now?" ”

Chen Xiaonian smiled angrily.

"I reason with people who will definitely be reasonable. For those who are unreasonable and intentionally partial, I still waste my tongue, what reason do I say? ”

Isn't this just the patriarch alone?

The patriarch was embarrassed for a while, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

He turned his gaze to Jiro, who was silent next to him.

"Jian Erlang, do you still want to make a big fuss?"

Erlang's eyebrows furrowed, as if he didn't expect him to throw the problem to himself.

Chen Xiaonian stood in front of Erlang and confronted the patriarch.

"What do you mean by that, Patriarch? Why are we trying to make a big deal out of it? My father-in-law can't speak, what do you mean by just asking him? ”

Her voice changed, and she said: "Patriarch, you reminded me, I will go to the official master now, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is the Qingtian master of the people, he will definitely inquire about this matter." Moreover, Chen Xiangwen played Yamen several times, but Yamen is the most embarrassing, this matter ......"

The patriarch's face darkened. "Chen Xiaonian, when did you become so unruly and uneducated?"

Joke!

Chen Xiaonian, who was well-behaved and educated, cowardly like Wang, and didn't dare to speak loudly, had already died. If the original owner hadn't died, he would have been forced to die when he was out of business!

Discipline is a good thing, but at this moment, these two things are the most useless things.

"Our village has always been kind, and we have never entered the yamen for decades, let alone been imprisoned. That is, the two of you are in a miasma all day long. This is just the beginning of spring, and the days are still long this year, they are all villagers and neighbors, and one person has to say a word. It's a fact that your Erlang injured Chen Xiangwen, and I don't know if the nose can come back. He is about to get married, and Cui Tao's age is indeed not easy to delay. More is better than less, give some money and settle the matter. ”

"Don't give it!"

The patriarch's eyebrows twisted into a pimple. "You really don't want to give it?"

Chen Xiaonian raised his voice and replied again: "Don't give it!" ”

"If Chen Xiangwen's family really sues the county and the county, you really don't care?"

Chen Xiaonian hesitated.

The yamen in the town also has Mrs. Chen to help catch people, if Chen Xiangwen really sues the county and the state and county, they will only be more troublesome.

Seeing that she had lost her sharp teeth just now, the patriarch said: "I have a way to make you save four taels of silver, and I can also ensure that his family can shut up in the future." More importantly, everyone in the village did not dare to publicize this matter. Those rumors, everyone will chew and swallow. ”

Chen Xiaonian and Erlang glanced at each other.

"What's the method?"

"In the past two days, I passed by your family's land, and saw that in the past, only your mother went to the field every day to take a look, and I didn't see fertilizing and turning the soil, but the vegetables grown in the field were all grown and eaten. Obviously, it has only been a few days since the next planting, how did it grow so fast? Xiao Nian, as long as Erlang tells everyone the trick of farming, the crops in our village will grow well, and everyone will definitely not talk nonsense. ”

Chen Xiaonian suddenly realized, the emotional patriarch said such a big thing, and clicked on a big question, the original purpose was here.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the patriarch asked, "How is it?" ”

Chen Xiaonian was not angry, just wanted to pull Erlang away, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately shook his head and sighed.

The patriarch thought she was unwilling, and persuaded Erlang again.

Erlang didn't speak, just looked at the little daughter-in-law. Helpless, the patriarch had to come and ask Chen Xiaonian again.

"Actually, I really don't want to talk about it."

Chen Xiaonian was embarrassed.

Seeing that she was willing to speak, the patriarch patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, as long as you agree to come down, Chen Xiangwen family and I will personally say that as long as his family still wants to stay in Heshan Village, he must listen to me." ”

Chen Xiaonian withdrew the smile in his eyes.

"Then I'll tell you the truth, patriarch, you can be angry."

With that, she sighed again.

"Actually, my crops grow well, and it does have something to do with Aunt Song."

The patriarch was stunned, "Why do you still have anything to do with her?" ”

The corners of Erlang's lips seemed to bend upward, waiting with interest for Chen Xiaonian to make up a story.

"My father-in-law did steal the well water of Aunt Song, and poured it in the ground every day before dawn, so that the crops in the field could grow taller as soon as the morning dawned."

Chen Xiaonian counted it to the patriarch: "You see, the water for farming in our village is all carried from the river, and no one has ever drilled the water from that well to water the ground, right?" After Aunt Song sold her family's field when she was young, she now only has a small vegetable field behind her house, she is lazy, there are few vegetable leaves in the field, and she doesn't need to water it, so she doesn't know the doorway at all. If you can persuade Aunt Song to let out the well, then the crops of every household in our village will grow well. ”

Coming out of the patriarch's house, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Erlang's lips, and Chen Xiaonian asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

As soon as she asked, she couldn't help but laugh herself.

When they returned home, Wang and the third aunt were washing the fruits in the yard.

Seeing them come back, the third aunt greeted them first, and Wang glanced up, lowered his head again, and continued to wash the fruit.

Chen Xiaonian was wondering why the Wang family had such a reaction, and was pulled by Erlang's sleeve and made a look, and she remembered the inappropriate words just now.

The third aunt found an excuse and hurried away, and Erlang took the hoe and gestured, meaning to go to the field.

There are only two mothers and daughters in the family.

Chen Xiaonian squatted down, and the Wang family washed the fruit together, holding it for a long time, and neither of them spoke.

Wang was uncomfortable, so he stood up first and dried the washed fruit first.

Chen Xiaonian called out to her, "Mother, I just now, I was just in a hurry to say nothing, in fact, I didn't mean that." ”

Wang's actions paused, "You are not wrong, you all blame me." ”

Chen Xiaonian felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

"Mother, don't worry, I went to the patriarch, the matter has been explained clearly, and his family will not dare to cause trouble again in the future. The four taels of silver have been wiped out, don't take it to heart. ”

Wang was silent for a long time, "But the more than 100 taels of silver haven't landed yet." ”

Erlang, who was standing outside the gate and had not gone far, his eyes tightened, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if he had a plan in his heart.
