Chapter 136

He has no chance with her anymore

Every household is bustling with their hands and heads going to the fields to collect grain.

Tao Xi went out with his younger siblings. In order to help, Jian Shiming, a weak scholar, even gave a holiday to the only child who came to class.

In contrast to Taomu Village, the people in Lishu Village watched with envy as the people in Taomu Village harvested sweet potatoes.

Seeing everyone carrying load after load of sweet potatoes and potatoes home, the eyes of everyone in Lishu Village were almost green with envy.

Everyone was busy in the fields, and they were all smiling when they looked at the sweet potatoes in the fields that were bigger than their fists.

"Brother Ming's family, you are so good at finding this. The output is higher than what we used to produce."

"Everyone took good care of me."

Tao Xi smiled modestly, weighing the sweet potato in his hand, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

These are sweet potatoes that she has never given birth to before. The ones in their backyard should be bigger.

"That's also because you found the seeds. Brother Ming, don't worry. When the grain is harvested, I will ask you to pay back the original credit."

Li Zheng knew that everyone had no money to pay back at the moment, but they could use food.

The harvest is so good, no one will starve to death this winter.

"Then thank you Li Zheng."

Jian Shiming smiled and agreed, it should be Tao Xi's thing, Jian Shiming never thought of rejecting it.

He would not let his wife work for free. Kindness is a good virtue, but it does not mean that she should give it away for free. He did not want to develop the temperament that everyone takes for granted.

"Okay, okay."

Li Zheng left happily with his hands behind his back. His land was not far away, and he was also busy harvesting grain at the moment.

Although the weather was a bit cold, it did not hinder everyone's activities, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Thanks to Brother Ming's family, we have something to eat in winter."

"No, if we really rely on the little dried vegetables harvested from the mountains, we will be so hungry in the winter."

"..."

After recuperating for a while, Jian Laosan was finally able to walk. Looking at everyone's busy figures, he couldn't help but walk towards Jian's family.

Looking at his figure, the busy people in the field took the time to glance at him and couldn't help but spit on him.

"Old Jian's family is blind. If he doesn't leave, he will be like us now."

"No, you deserve to starve to death in Lishu Village right now!"

"Hey, Jian Laosan will probably cause trouble with Brother Ming's family again. We have to help with this."

"That's right, but we can't let him bully others anymore!"

"..."

Jian Laosan felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard these words. If they had not left, they would have had a lot of food by now.

Thinking like this, his steps became even more hurried.

Tao Xi and his family's land was right next to Jian Laoer's family's land, so no one cared about it when they first opened up the land.

Jian Laosan didn't dare to talk to Tao Xi and the others, so he only walked up to Jian Laoer.

"Second brother, we are collecting things. Third brother, I have nothing to do, so I can help you collect them together."

Jian Lao Er raised his eyes and looked at Jian Lao San, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Wang rushed to say: "No need, we can handle it ourselves."

This stuff was said to be collected for help, but I might have to take some of it away when I go back.

"Second sister-in-law, please don't be so unkind. My brother knows that he was wrong. He shouldn't have bullied you in the past. He will change his ways in the future!"

Jian Lao San humiliated himself. He knew that it was difficult for Tao Xi and the others to break through, and the only breakthrough point was Jian Lao Er's side.

Jian Laoer stood there tangledly, and looked at Wang hesitantly, hoping that Wang would forgive him for his sake.

Mrs. Wang snorted softly, "If you want him to help collect it, you can."

Jian Laoer's eyes lit up slightly, and the next second Wang pointed to the piece not far away and said:

"That piece of land belongs to you, and I have no control over your things, but what Sanni and I own is ours and has nothing to do with you."

This makes it clear that if he agrees, she will have no chance with him.

Jian Lao Er looked at Jian Lao San guiltily, "Lao San, I'd better not trouble you anymore, you..."

"waste!"

Jian Laosan spat at Jian Laoer, which made Jian Laoer look confused. He was secretly glad that he didn't agree.

The speed with which he changed his face showed that he was not sincerely repentant, and his behavior just now was just for show.

Jian Laosan had no shame to go to Tao Xi and the others, so he could only turn around and leave silently. No one pitied him and Mrs. Jian for their current situation.

Tao Xi looked at his back and shook his head. Everyone was busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Jian Laosan wandered around Taomu Village and finally left helplessly.

Tao Xi's family grew a lot of food. They harvested three hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes each. Tao Xi did not waste the sweet potato vines and dried them all into dried vegetables.

The remaining sweet potato vines and potato leaves were left as rations for their cattle, and at this time she was discussing with Jian Shiming.

"Sir, how about I collect these grains?"

There was no place safer than her space. Jian Shiming trusted her very much and nodded in agreement without much thought.

"Okay, but we still have to dig a cellar."

No matter how her things were put away, he had to dig a cellar to hide them from others.

"It's up to you, I'll go find Brother Chen for help."

Naturally, Tao Xi would not expect Jian Shiming, a weak scholar, to build a cellar for her soon.

Just when Jian Shiming wanted to say that he could do it, Tao Xi, the clinker, had already walked out, and he had no choice but to choose the entrance to the cellar in the yard.

When Tao Xi arrived at Chen Orion's house, their cellar had been dug long ago, and Chen Orion loaded the grain into it one load after another.

"Brother Chen."

Tao Xi was holding a bucket in his hand, and in the bucket was a fish that had just been taken out of the space.

"Brother Ming's family is here."

Mrs. Chen rushed out and was very enthusiastic towards Tao Xi. After all, if it weren't for Tao Xi, where would they have gotten so much food now?

The Chen family all knew how to be grateful and treated Tao Xi and his family as honored guests.

"I have something to do with Brother Chen."

Tao Xi smiled. Chen Orion came out of the cellar, put the empty load on the ground, took the sweat towel his son handed him and wiped his sweat, and then looked at Tao Xi.

"It's from Brother Ming's house, you say."

"Our family also wants to build a cellar. You also know my husband-in-law's situation. He is too weak and his brothers and sisters are too young."

Tao Xi can do it by herself, but the progress is too slow for her alone, and she is afraid it will delay other things.

Chen Orion said directly and proudly: "It's easy to handle, I'll fix it for you in the afternoon!"

"Thank you Brother Chen and Sister Chen. I got this fish from the mountain stream. You can satisfy the children's craving for it."

Tao Xi lowered her voice and handed the bucket to Mrs. Chen, who quickly refused.

"No, no, no, it's just a trivial matter. How can we use such precious things?"

"Yes, it's from Brother Ming's house, you can take it back."

Orion Chen also quickly refused. Tao Xi had already known the character of their couple and directly put the bucket on the ground.

"Brother Chen, don't be polite. If you continue to be polite, I'll have to find someone else. I'll put this bucket here for you first. Brother Chen, you can bring it to me when you come over."

After saying that, Tao Xi said Yazi and ran away. Mrs. Chen couldn't even catch her in time.
