After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Sun Jinhua pouted, "What kind of happy event can there be? There are thirty or forty households in the village. How can we not know what is going on in front of and behind the house?"

In the past, besides her, there was also Hu Shuiqing, the daughter-in-law, in the house. Her mother-in-law always ordered Hu Shuiqing to do the work.

Now that the second child's family is separated, the mother-in-law does not share the housework at all, but she can still boss her around!

After a while, the water got cold, the vegetables ran out, the ducks needed to be fed, the ground became dirty, and the clothes needed to be mended. Even her 30-year-old son came to ask her if he hadn't come back!

They had only been separated for two days, and she already wanted to separate this old thing!

"To say that you are stupid means that you are not smart. You don't want to ask around!" Fan's mother was not used to her eldest daughter-in-law.

Who didn't grow up as a daughter-in-law? She has only used half of the methods her mother-in-law used to deal with her on her two daughters-in-law.

Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law was quite happy when she treated the second daughter-in-law like this before. Now that the second daughter-in-law has been separated, the housework and taking care of her mother-in-law will of course fall on the eldest daughter-in-law.

Sun Jinhua snorted, "Who wants to know who is going? I'm not going anyway!"

Her mother-in-law was used to messing around with people, and if she followed her wishes, she could grind people to death, but she was not a fool like her sister-in-law.

Unable to call out the eldest daughter-in-law, Fan's mother's chest heaved. Just as she was about to curse, she saw Sun Jinhua turning back to the house and slamming the door.

It's the opposite!

Fan's mother was about to curse when she heard Jin Sun shouting: "Grandma, Grandma, something strange has happened in our village!"

Sun Jinhua, who returned to the house, couldn't help but come out and asked anxiously: "What's strange?"

"You will never guess it!" Fan Erzhu said proudly while running out of breath.

Fan's mother wanted to slap her, but the person in front of her was Jin Sun, not a loser granddaughter. She had to suppress her anger and asked flatteringly: "Er Zhu, tell me, what's going on?"

Fan Erzhu said it as a joke: "It's about the second uncle's family! Grandma, you will never imagine that the second uncle exchanged two and a half kilograms of rice with people from the village for one kilogram of chicken head rice. Do you think it's funny or not?"

"Crazy!" Mother Fan's face darkened, and she said fiercely: "No, I'm going to find them, and we can collect so much food together. If we lose everything, why don't we have to go back to our home to catch the autumn wind!"

Sun Jinhua's eyes rolled, and she quickly grabbed Fan's mother and persuaded her: "Mom, since the family is separated, what's the point of talking about it? Just let them go."

It's good to be defeated.

If they lose everything, they will sell the land. Then they will instigate the mother-in-law to use the money to buy it at a lower price, and the nine acres of fertile land of the second family will be returned to their hands.

"I am the second child's mother, why am I useless?" Fan's mother said angrily.

"Grandma, it's useless. The second uncle's family is now headed by the second aunt. I heard that there are more than a dozen families. Can you tell me if there is any leftover rice from the second uncle's family?" Fan Erzhu took the opportunity to complain.

The rice that was snatched from them just this morning was given away later.

The second aunt really couldn't tell the difference between the inside and the outside. She would rather give the precious rice to outsiders who were not related by blood than leave it to family members with deep blood ties.

Fan's mother was so angry that her heart ached, no, no, she must find a way to prevent the people in the village from changing with the second family!

Let her son know that at the critical moment, she still has to rely on her as a mother...

The large flat rocks in the wide open space came in handy.

Fan Jin is a scholar, so there is no shortage of paper and pen at home. He spread the paper and pen on the big stone, and surrounded by a circle of women.

Wang Guifen was responsible for weighing and reporting the water, while Fan Jin was responsible for recording next to the big stone.

"Aunt Zhang, thirteen kilograms, plus four kilograms at noon, a total of seventeen kilograms, right?" Shui Qing checked it every time he reported it.

Aunt Zhang smiled brightly and said, "Yes, that's the number."

She and Xiaocao were the only ones doing the peeling in the morning, while Jinniu and Yinniu and their brothers went to collect firewood, but in the afternoon everyone caught up together.

Seventeen kilograms, it will be replaced by rice tomorrow. Aunt Zhang was calculating while giving up her seat in the front row so that others could check.

"Aunt Li, eight pounds, two pounds at noon, ten pounds in total, right?

"Correct!"

"Grandma Xu's house, six pounds, one pound in the morning, seven pounds in total."

.....

There are some from the Li family, the Wang family, and the Fan family. There are relatively few bits and pieces, mostly two or three pounds.

There are still very few families in the village like Aunt Zhang's who don't have enough to eat.

They have land and land, and although they can't eat well, they can barely eat enough. They are not as good at salvaging chicken rice crackers and peeling chicken head rice as Aunt Zhang's family, and naturally they are not as good as Aunt Zhang's family.

Among them, a head of the Fan family took a wait-and-see attitude, doubting whether Fan Jin could bring out the rice, so he didn't work very hard and didn't deliver all the rice.

After all, fresh ones can be purchased with two and a half kilograms of rice. If dried, wouldn’t it be more?

They don't believe that there is nothing fresh and easy to sell. Besides, Fan Er is from the same family as them. People Fan Er knows may also know Fan Da. When the time comes, they can secretly ask Fan Da to contact them...

The crowd dispersed, and Shui Qing and Fan Jinwei counted the numbers beside the big rocks.

Fan Jin pointed to one of the families who also had the surname Fan and said, "This is my cousin from my grandfather's family."

Shui Qing had always been confused about these seniorities and arrangements. After calculating for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. They weren't close to each other anyway, so he stopped thinking about it and asked directly: "What's wrong?"

Fan Jinhei looked straight at Shui Qing beside him, with a smile on his lips: "What he brought out at noon was five pounds, but he only got one pound in the afternoon. Do you think it's strange?"

Shui Qing understood immediately, and was also surprised by Fan Jin's sensitivity.

She complimented casually: "I didn't expect that you, a scholar, also know things in the business world."

Fan Jin, who was praised, timidly looked away and murmured: "I'm just taking the science test, I'm not very good at it, I still understand other things."

Shui Qing knew that scientific examinations were very important to literati and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will definitely win in the future!"

This is not nonsense. In more than ten years, he will really win, and he will have a smooth official career and become a very, very big official.

Fan Jin's eyes were moist with emotion, and he looked at Shui Qing's eyes as dark as water.

how many years?

Since he failed the scientific examinations again and again, the way he was viewed by the academy, his surroundings, his family, and even his mother-in-law and eldest brother all changed.

Talk to him like he's a good-for-nothing loser.

Even if the family's farm work and earning money... are all gone, it won't work.

If a literati cannot pass the imperial examination, no matter how good he is, it will be useless, and whatever he does will be wrong.

Especially as you get older, this disrespect becomes more obvious.

Only Shui Qing said he would pass the exam and gave him trust!

A scholar dies for a confidant... From now on, clear water will be the most important thing...

Shui Qing was so excited when he saw it, why was he so excited just by saying a word?

Sure enough, the imperial examination is the destiny of literati!

They take it too seriously.

She changed the subject and said, "Are you saying that your cousin doesn't trust us?"
