It was the time when the spring flowers were blooming, and a group of old ladies were idle, sitting outside the gate of the Li family, each holding some shoe soles and other work in their hands. While talking, his hands do not delay his work.

"Alas, this man, if he doesn't have a good eye, he will be a curse. You said that the mother-in-law of the old Han family, how could she be so ruthless? She is also a woman, doesn't she understand how terrible these words are for a woman? Yun Xue's reputation is bad, what good can she have? Grandma Li held an awl in her hand and pierced the soles of her shoes vigorously, wishing it was the face of the old lady of the Han family.

"You, what do you know? She is looking at Yunxue to see that she has the ability to make money. Didn't Yunxue buy land and cattle a while ago? And their eyes were red. I heard that the daughter-in-law of the third eldest of the Han family once went to Yunxue, saying that she wanted Yunxue and them to return to the Han family again, and they would still be a family in the future. Another old lady next to her, who was also holding the sole of her shoe, interjected.

"Yunxue's carbon-bursting temper, where can she follow their wishes? Needless to say, the result is naturally not a success. Then the old lady of the Han family began to gossip about Yunxue outside. She thought that Yun Xue's reputation would be ruined, and Yun Xue would not be able to marry in the future, and she would be able to watch the excitement at that time. This old woman is really poisonous. "This old lady's surname is Zhao, she is the younger sister of the village chief Zhao, married into the Zhang family, and also lives in the village.

The old lady of the Zhao family looked at her sister-in-law, "These things, don't worry." Yunxue girl still has two years of filial piety, and when she is filial, let's give Zhang Luo Zhang Luo a good time. is such a good child, who can marry back, it will be a blessing for several lifetimes. Don't worry, these gossips will pass after a while. ”

These old ladies all get along well on weekdays. These things gather in kind, people in groups, and several of them are the kind of people who are kind and kind-hearted, so they can get along very well.

"Sister-in-law's words are right, there are still two years of filial piety for Yunxue, let's be careful, I don't believe that Yunxue can still leave the family?" The old lady of the Zhang family nodded, but agreed with what her sister-in-law said.

Regarding Yunxue, in several nearby villages, it has set off a wave of discussion for a while. Except for a few families who have a good relationship with the Han family, even if the rest will not fall into the well, they will ruin Yun Xue's reputation, and they will secretly remember it in their hearts, and try not to have anything to do with Yun Xue in the future.

The old lady of the Han family was very proud to run around the village, and wherever she went, she couldn't forget to say bad things about Yunxue. Some people turned their heads and left when they heard this, and some people would talk nonsense with her.

By the time the old man of the Han family found out about this, the gossip had been circulating for some days. The angry old man knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand on the edge of the kang a few times, "You stupid woman, Yun Xue's girl's reputation is bad, what good is it for you?" Yun Xue's surname is Han, and our family is also surnamed Han. People didn't know that Yunxue and they had been expelled from the genealogy by us, and thought they were from the Han family. The old Han family will also have a bad reputation, what are you thinking about in your head? The old man coughed angrily twice.

The old lady squinted at her husband a few times, "I just can't get used to her dead look, can't she?" Don't the big guys think she's amazing? I had to make her unable to marry. Hmph, I think she can still be so flamboyant? The old lady was holding back this energy in her heart. She is in the Han family, and she has always wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, but when she encounters clouds and snow, she is deflated, where can she be willing?

"You just think about yourself, and you don't want to think about it, our Yutao and Yuli are not young, and it's time to say goodbye. You're making such a fuss, what can you do with the two of them? The old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you have to worry about this? Our jade peach, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Didn't the boss go to the county seat to make furniture for the Zhou family last time? The eldest young master of the Zhou family wanted to take another concubine, and I think it is suitable for Yutao. You think, the Zhou family is a big family in the county. The eldest young master of his family is only twenty-eight years old this year, but he has never had a son, so he wants to take a concubine and have a child. Our jade peach, at first glance, is a good child, if you can give birth to a son when you enter the door, won't it be the same as the grandmother of the main house in the future? The old lady began to talk about Yutao's family.

In her eyes, this granddaughter is used to exchange money. Whether it is a jade peach or a cloud snow, if it is raised, it is used to exchange for money. Now Yun Xue can't fiddle with it herself, but she can still hold the jade peach in her hand. If you can marry the Zhou family, the future of the third Han Yi will be guaranteed. The third child will go to the Xiucai exam next year, if he can pass the exam, he will have to take the Jinshi exam in the future. These are all money-oriented, just pointing to the current ability of the old Han family, they can't afford the expenses of the third child at all. But if you marry the Zhou family, it will be different, and when the time comes, you can get some light with the Zhou family, and you can always get some silver money for the third flower. As long as the third child can be admitted, then the life of the family will change in the future.

The old man also understood this, he lowered his head and thought carefully, and then asked in a low voice, "Have you told the eldest daughter-in-law about this?" What did she think? ”

"What can she think, or what she told me. That time the boss was working in the Zhou family, and the eldest daughter-in-law went to look for him, and then accidentally saw the eldest young master of the Zhou family. Otherwise, I am an old woman, how can I see a nobleman? I heard that the eldest young master is very good-looking, and the jade peach girl is not bad, so she should be able to do it. I've been looking for someone to talk about this in the past few days, if it really happens, can Yuli's family affairs be worse in the future? The old lady looked at her husband very proudly. In her opinion, it's a win-win-win thing, and it couldn't be better.

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "You just have a number in your heart." ”

Yun Xue didn't care about those gossip, she was busy with things in the field. Now that it was the end of March, she led Yun Zhen to work in the newly bought field. Last year, most of the corn was planted in that field, and now the corn roots are still in the ground. These had to be gouged out with a pickaxe and then piled together and burned.

Yun Xue picked up the pickaxe and competed with the corn roots in the field. It's the same with Yun Zhen over there, the two sisters and brothers are not idle. "Eldest sister, I see that just these jobs will take us three or five days. Next, I have to go to the land, farm, all these jobs are down, it really takes half a month. "They are young and don't work as long as adults, so they have to stop and rest often.

"It's okay, let's do it slowly, the eldest sister is afraid that she won't be able to get out, so she led you to work early." As long as we plant the land, we will have food in the fall. When the time comes, you don't have to spend money to buy grain, some rice bran, corn navel and the like, and you can also raise pigs and chickens, how good. When the time comes, we will honestly farm and raise pigs at home to live. This is Yunxue's biggest dream, she has never had any ambitions, she just wants to live in peace.

Yun Zhen listened to the eldest sister's words, felt as if he was not so tired, picked up the pickaxe, and continued to plow the ground. Yes, if it's really as good as the eldest sister said, the eldest sister doesn't have to work hard in the Tianshan and water fields. These broken-mouthed mothers-in-law in the village will no longer talk about the eldest sister. "Eldest sister, let's work hard, if we make more money in the future, we will buy a few more acres of land." Yun Zhen suddenly came to the momentum.

The siblings were planning what should be planted on the land while digging the ground with pickaxes. Wait for the corn roots to come out, let the sun dry for two days, and then use a rake to light them together.

A total of six acres of corn roots, the two sisters and brothers cleaned up for more than three days before it was finished. Next, as long as the weather is good, it will be about the same for two days.

At the beginning of April, wooden rafts on the Yalu River had already begun to drift down. These people are generally Anton. They worked in the mountains for a winter in the winter, and when the spring came, as soon as the river opened, they hurried to put the wood down so that they could hurry back to Anton. People who have been away from home for half a year are anxious to go home and reunite with their families. For those locals, they generally have to wait until the land is planted before leaving, so as not to delay the work of the family.

The topic of Yunxue in the village did not last long, and the reason was simple, that is, these people had a new topic. It turned out that a few days ago, a large family suddenly came to the village. Just east of the village, near the Han family, construction began to start on building a house.

There are quite a few people in that family, and it seems that there must be about 30 people. I heard that he came from the capital, and his surname is Zhong. The old man of the Zhong family lived in this village when he was a child, and later the whole family went out to beg for a living. This old man worked as a housekeeper for others in the capital, saved a lot of family property, and his master was also a kind person, seeing that he was old, he said to let him go back to his hometown. The old man took a large family and returned to his hometown.

But their family's original house is long gone, and so many people can only temporarily borrow to live in a few nearby families. The Zhong family has a lot of labor, saying that they want to hurry up and build a house, and then they will have a place to live.

The Han family was quite close to the Zhong family, so the Zhong family discussed with Yun Xue and borrowed the two rooms in the Han family's west house for the female dependents of the family. The rest of the people lived in someone else's house.

Yun Xue is not the kind of unreasonable, and it is naturally nothing for neighbors to help each other. So she cleaned up the two houses in the west and let Yunlin and the others move to the east house where they lived.

The old man of the Zhong family has four sons, all of whom have married daughters-in-law and had children, and even among the grandchildren, there are two daughters-in-law. Such a large family, there are twelve female dependents alone, and they live in the two rooms on the west side, even if it is just right.
