Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Myolie Liu had just been denied her personal charm by Li Xiangxiang. When she heard her mother's words, she immediately lost her guard: "Mom, why do you think I can't do anything?"

Mother Liu was suddenly accused like this. She was stunned and said, "When did I say that you can't do anything? I just asked you not to get too close to the idiots of the Li family! You are my daughter, how can I not know you?" How much ability do you have? Okay, okay, don’t worry so much about the idiot. You should think more about what you can do to win over Mr. Hou! If that doesn’t work, you can just turn your target to Mrs. Hou’s father. Being Mrs. Hou is not an option. , just find a way to be Mrs. Hou’s stepmother!”

When Myolie Liu heard such outrageous remarks, instead of getting angry, she was thoughtful.

"Hatch—"

After returning to his old business after many days, Butcher Xu drove the carriage with great interest. As soon as he arrived, he suddenly sneezed loudly.

Butcher Xu thought to himself: It must be because I haven't worked for too long that my health has deteriorated.

It happened that at this time, a disgusting guy said: "Ouch! Isn't this our old Mrs. Xu? After recruiting such a promising son-in-law, you should stay at home, drink wine and sip fragrant tea and enjoy the happiness. Why are you so reluctant to work in the fields?"

Butcher Xu knew that this man was jealous of him, so he yelled back on the spot: "As soon as you open your mouth, I know you can't hold it in! I'm happy, I'm happy, and I love farming! If Chao'er hadn't said that I'm old , the bones are brittle, and you are preventing me from buying and killing pigs, and the pork you eat has to pass through my hands! I don’t have the luxury of a happy life, so if I stay at home for two days without working, I feel bad all over!"

The villager was not annoyed at being laughed at, and said with a smile: "You just don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings. If I were you, I wouldn't suffer this crime!"

Butcher Xu said, "You can say whatever you want. I can't sit still, and when I'm free, I feel sore here and there. I'll chop some firewood, eh! I don't feel any pain anymore, and I'll be fine immediately!"

He had to find something to do, otherwise he would feel that the day passed too long, and the passage from dawn to dusk was too slow, and his overall energy would not be good.

When the villager heard what Butcher Xu said, he became even more jealous of him and wanted to make some more sarcastic remarks. However, Butcher Xu had no time to pay attention to him because his bullock cart was blocked by a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. .

"Great-aunt, help me! Great-aunt, give me a way out!"

Great-aunt?

Butcher Xu was a little confused at first, until the boy revealed his identity. It turned out that he was the grandson of Xu Ning's mother's brother.

After hearing that the boy's father died of illness and his mother remarried, he himself was deprived of his family by his own uncle. In desperation, he came to Butcher Xu, hoping to get protection from the Xu family.

Butcher Xu did not chase the boy away. He first brought him a piece of grain cake and then poured him a bowl of water: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke."

The boy devoured the multigrain pancake, gulped it down in one gulp, put down the bowl gently, and kowtowed three times to Butcher Xu.

Huo Yunchao heard the commotion and came over with little Fubao in his arms, and happened to see the boy kowtow. He calmly observed the change in Butcher Xu's expression.

Xu Ning followed closely behind, but she was also silent.

When he saw Butcher Xu caressing the boy's head, his affection was beyond words, Xu Ning felt choked in her heart and asked aloud: "Ms. sir, what would you think if my father adopted this boy as his son?"

Huo Yunchao didn't answer but asked: "What about you? What do you think?"

Xu Ning said two words without hesitation: "Separate the family!"

Huo Yunchao burst out laughing: "Dad Xu will definitely go crazy."

Xu Ning said nothing.

She has lived in a bad social environment of doubt and disgust since she was a child, and she is very aware of the double standards in the way the world treats sons and daughters.

Once Butcher Xu came up with the idea of ​​adopting a son, it meant that he would give most of the resources at his disposal to his adopted son.

This is not because Xu Ning thinks too badly of his biological father, but because the social environment is like this. No matter how good Xu Ning's guarantee is at this moment, as long as he adopts this boy, he will definitely use his resources in the future. When it comes to the adopted son, he even takes it for granted that "my daughter and son-in-law are so promising, so if I give everything I have to my adopted son, it's not partial."

However, from Xu Ning and Huo Yunchao's point of view, Xu Butcher's behavior was too chilling. Just because they were willing to honor him, it did not mean that they were willing to give their resources to outsiders.

What's more, Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning have their own biological daughters. Why would they give things to outsiders who are not related by blood?

Huo Yunzhao patted the babbling little Fu Bao in his arms, took Xu Ning's hand and said, "Mother Ning, everyone is waiting for us."

If Butcher Xu insisted on adopting him, they would not stop him, and the separation of the family would be inevitable.

Xu Ning looked back three times. The father and daughter had been dependent on each other for so many years. She was unwilling to sever the bond between father and daughter, but she had to recognize the cruel reality: once the Xu family has another son with the right to inherit, the family will inevitably separate. Another time.

Huo Yunchao noticed this scene, and he neither persuaded nor comforted him, because Xu Ning knew how to deal with it.

It's going to rain. My mother wants to get married. She has no control over everything.

If Butcher Xu wanted to adopt the boy as his adopted son and fulfill his wish to become a father, then as a daughter, Xu Ning had no reason to stop him.

Xu Ning felt depressed in her heart, hating that she was not a boy and could not inherit her father's legacy.

She didn't want to talk to anyone, and she just used the pickaxe to dig out stones and pile roots together.

Huo Yunchao was self-aware. The three of them combined were not as efficient as Xu Ning alone. Therefore, he cleverly did not follow Xu Ning with a pickaxe. Instead, he picked up tree roots and grass roots with a bamboo basket behind him.

As for the big rocks, Huo Yunchao really couldn't move them. Xu Ning felt sorry for her husband and refused to let him move them: "Sister-in-law, pile the rocks first and I will move them away later. Didn't you say you want to build the canal? You don't have to follow me," he said. , you go and see where it is suitable to build the canal.”

After saying that, Xu Ning continued to dig with the pickaxe and never looked back.

Huo Yunchao did not have as much physical strength as Xu Ning, so he could barely hold on for half an hour. Seeing that Xu Ning was digging harder and harder, he had to admit defeat and stop to rest.

Butcher Xu came over with a hoe and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Chao'er, what's wrong with Ning Niang?"

"Dad Xu, please tell me the truth. Do you want to adopt the boy just now?" Huo Yunchao didn't play tricks with Xu butcher and asked directly.

"Ah? Where did you hear this? When did I say I wanted to adopt?"

Butcher Xu's face trembled a few times. He looked at his daughter who was swinging the pickaxe again and again. He suddenly realized and asked: "Chaoer, Ning Niang must have mistakenly thought that I want to adopt her and is sulking, right?"

Huo Yunchao smiled and said nothing.

"Chao'er, don't just smile, tell me quickly!" Butcher Xu became anxious and angry.

"Yes."

Huo Yunchao said openly and honestly: "Dad Xu, if you really want to adopt a son, Ning Niang and I have no objection. But I must put the ugly words first. This family will definitely be divided."
