Chapter 23: The Wasteland of the Back Mountain
Yi Mingxue was so angry that she hit Li Chunlan with a broom.
"Get out! Get out of my house immediately!"
As he said this, he chased me away and yelled back, "Since you like being a concubine so much, then leave your man and do it yourself! Don't come to my house and let the cocks and dogs bark."
"As for those second-rate bastards you mentioned, just keep an eye on them! As long as I'm here for a day, I will make sure they never come back and regret it for the rest of their lives!"
"Well, Yi Mingxue...you don't know what is good and what is wrong, you...just wait for me!"
Li Chunlan wanted to curse a few more words, but she was really frightened by Yi Mingxue's broomsticks.
He had no choice but to say a harsh word and run away in a flash.
This trip really made her angry. She didn't expect that Yi Mingxue was not only ungrateful, but also gave Yi Qingqing clean hands and beat her with a stick.
She couldn't understand how Yi Mingxue, who had been firmly in her hands for so many years, had changed so much in just a few days.
What secret happened to her during her absence?
Li Chunlan ran away full of doubts.
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but chased her some distance away, scolding her from a distance.
"Don't let me see you again, otherwise I'll beat you every time I see you!"
When he returned home, several radish dices were crowded at the door of the bedroom, and Yi's softly suppressed sobs could be heard from inside.
Yi Mingxue walked over, gently held her in her arms, and comforted her, "Don't listen to her, it's all nonsense."
Yi Qingqing's tears were like broken pearls, her thin shoulders were twitching and she couldn't stop at all.
She looked at Yi Mingxue in confusion, and after a while she cried and asked, "Sister...am I...shouldn't...be like this?"
Yi Mingxue suddenly felt heartbroken, this is still a child.
At the age of twelve, she might have already started talking about marriage, but in Yi Mingxue's eyes, she was just a little kid who had just entered puberty.
She wiped away her tears, then straightened her shoulders and back, looked directly into her eyes, and said decisively.
"You heard my sister saying that being good-looking is not a mistake! On the contrary, it is a gift given to you by God."
"As for those who covet you, are jealous of you, or even maliciously slander you because of it, that is their own problem. You never need to punish yourself for the faults of others, do you understand?"
Yi Qingqing seemed to understand but still nodded obediently.
"But...I'm afraid..."
Yi Mingxue held her in her arms again, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Yes! I will also protect you, second sister!"
A few kids got in at some point, and Yi Tianlei waved his fists at the side and promised like a little adult.
Yi Changle rolled his eyes, "You have small arms and legs, so you should first think about how to grow taller quickly!"
Then, she turned her head and looked at Yi Qingqing, "It's okay, second sister, those gangsters in the next village are very stupid. They were fooled by Li Chunlan earlier, so they are nothing to be afraid of."
Yi Mingxue was a little surprised at Lao San's insight, "Hey, it seems you already knew Li Chunlan's true face?"
Yi Changle raised his chin proudly, "Tch, with her little cleverness, she could only deceive those stupid donkeys from the neighboring village and you... ah no, it's you from before..."
Yi Mingxue wanted to laugh, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. You should pay close attention to this Li Chunlan, and don't let your second sister suffer when I'm not around."
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them even if you don't tell them." Yi Changle patted his chest.
When Yi Qingqing saw this, he burst into tears and laughed.
Yes, I have such a powerful eldest sister, and such clever and brave younger brothers and sisters, so what should I be afraid of!
Seeing that her mood improved, Yi Mingxue immediately asked everyone to start making lunch.
After working all morning, the family was already hungry.
After lunch, Yi Mingxue went out alone again.
She took back her two acres of land from her uncle yesterday, but she hadn't had time to see what was going on.
In the past few days, the spiritual rice in her space has still shown no improvement. The little water spiritual power she had accumulated was all used up yesterday because she was looking for the third and fifth sons.
At the moment, their family doesn't have much money left. Carpenter Wang has only paid a deposit, and there will be more and more ways to use the money in the future.
She plans to plant some crops in the fields that are suitable for winter and have a quick harvest. It is best to temporarily meet the family's food rations and earn some money.
While she was thinking, Yi Mingxue had already arrived in her own field.
Her aunt said it was true that there were winter wheat planted in the fields, but it was just like the lack of harvest, and it seemed that they had not been taken care of well.
Come to think of it, her uncle's family is very lazy.
Scattering wheat is like using a stick to pull the banhu, which is rough and rough.
It's surprising that she can reap a harvest with her method.
Yi Mingxue did not shovel out the wheat originally planted in the field, but went back to the village to bring some water and dried cow dung.
Together with some plant ash, a pile of water fertilizer was made on the spot.
After finishing her busy work, she saw that it was still early and went for a walk on the barren hill behind her farm.
As a result, I don’t know if I don’t go around, but I’ll be shocked when I go around.
The back mountain is a barren sandy land, and there are no other mountains or trees around to block it. It is basically exposed to the sun from morning to night.
Most of this terrain was reduced to wasteland in ancient times when farming and planting technology was lacking.
But Yi Mingxue knew that soil like this and sunshine like this were very suitable for growing melons and dates.
The day before yesterday, she had walked around the town several times, and there were other common crops, but there were very few fruits like melons and dates.
Yi Mingxue was very satisfied with her windfall, and she immediately came to the village chief's house.
I plan to discuss reclaiming that wasteland.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by an acquaintance.
"Oh, isn't this Yi Daya? I heard that you beat up your uncle's family yesterday? You also robbed their fields and things?"
Yi Mingxue looked at the daughter-in-law of the village chief's house speechlessly.
Just by looking at the other person's expression, it doesn't look like he was saying mean words on purpose.
But somehow, as soon as these words came out of her mouth, they became both unpleasant and annoying.
Yi Mingxue was originally in a good mood, but her words made her look bad.
She raised the corners of her lips and said with a soft smile:
"Oh, who is it? It turns out to be the village chief's sister-in-law Xiaotian!"
"You didn't go to see the fun yesterday, right? I don't blame you for not knowing the truth. But, next time, can we just ignore the wind and rain, and figure things out in advance before we complain, okay?"
After saying that, Yi Mingxue was really too lazy to pay attention to her.
He turned around and went straight to the village chief.
