If you don't have enough to eat or drink, you will only be laughed at. At most, they will sympathize with you, which is insignificant.
"An Yan, come with me to the hillside at the east end of the village to have a look. Didn't your third grandfather say that there is also a slope land that can be reclaimed? Mom, go and take a look."
If possible, plant them before the frost so that they can be planted next year without delay.
"Okay, let's go right away."
Bai Anyan was carrying a hoe, Baiyunxi was carrying a basket, a sickle, and a bundle of ropes. Just as they were about to set off, they heard a burst of hearty laughter.
"Ouch, sister Yunxi, is it a coincidence or an unlucky coincidence that I'm here? Haha..."
With a laugh, Mrs. Zheng appeared at the gate of the fence, and behind her stood a young man, her eldest son Bai Anbang.
Bai Anbang was holding a bucket full of mixed noodles in his hand.
"Host sister-in-law, Anbang, who are you?" Bai Yunxi looked at the postures of the two of them, pretending to be confused.
"I just grinded flour at home yesterday. I'm thinking about you and your family. No matter whether we are short of it or not, we will eat it first, and then we will worry about it if we don't have enough."
Mrs. Zheng laughed and directly ordered her son, "Anbang, send it to your aunt quickly. There's a bucket here, it's very heavy."
Bai Yunxi looked at the mother and son's behavior and also laughed.
"An Yan, hurry up and take it. Mrs. Du, hurry up and pour some water for your cousin. Mrs. Li, hurry up and bring the stools over for your cousin and the others to sit down and rest."
After giving the order, everyone took action. In the blink of an eye, not only were Mrs. Zheng and her son pinned down on the chairs, but each of them also had a teacup in their hands.
"Don't be offended, cousin. There is only boiled water at home, no tea." Mrs. Du wiped the handle on her apron and said politely.
"Oh, any kind words you say are from my own family. If a family doesn't speak the same language, plain water is fine."
Mrs. Zheng took a sip from the bowl and put it on the table. She watched her son get up to talk to Xiao Wu about studying, and then turned to look at Baiyun Xi.
"Sister, when my father went back yesterday, he caught the head of the family and gave him a scolding. But don't worry, those guys from the Wang family and the Sun family won't find anything good in their quarrels. I'll seize the opportunity when I look at my sister-in-law.
Fix them."
Bai Yunxi smiled and said, "My cousin-in-law is so powerful, why don't they run away with their tail between their legs when they see you?"
"Giggle... Although my sister is a daughter, you are the only literate woman in the village. People say that reading makes sense, so what are we afraid of?"
Zheng said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing,
"My sister is embarrassed to say some things, but I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law. Just wait, my sister-in-law will vent her anger on you sooner or later."
Bai Yunxi trembled at the corner of her mouth, this Zheng family is really versatile and very thick-skinned.
"Thank you cousin for protecting me. I really didn't see those people. But cousin, please be careful. Several women always come to my cousin to complain. What are you talking about? My cousin values face.
, I’m sorry to scold them, once you’re used to being bossed around, why don’t you just hang around them every day?”
After saying this, Baiyunxi picked up the bowl and took a sip of hot water, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Humph, you are allowed to find some relief, and I have to give you some eye drops.
Mrs. Zheng looked stunned after listening to Bai Yunxi's persuasion. Thinking of yesterday's scene, her face suddenly turned bad.
But that's not good. The head of the house is a man, so naturally he won't care about those women. If someone takes the opportunity to get involved, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
