When everyone heard that the Lu family had bought another ten acres of land, they were extremely envious.

"The Lu family is really prosperous. I heard that the technology of growing honeysuckle was brought by Jianchuan's wife."

"I'm really envious that their family has such a good wife. The Lu family really wants to worship Gao Xiang."

"No, if I had a daughter-in-law with such a prosperous family, I would be willing to support her."

"Me too......"

Everyone was talking a lot, and their words were full of admiration for Gu Yunxi.

When Mrs. Mo heard it, she chuckled disdainfully.

"It's just that I'm lucky, what's there to be proud of!"

There was a woman whose daughter-in-law also went to the Lu family to help pick honeysuckle and earned some money. When Mo said this, she rolled her eyes.

"Ms. Mo, my wife from Jianchuan is good and can make money. This is not just something you can do if you are lucky."

"I think you are jealous of others, and you speak so sourly."

When Mrs. Mo was told directly to her face, she looked a little embarrassed and retorted: "Aunt, I envy her? What should I envy her for? I have children and a daughter, and she has been married for almost a year, right? I haven’t seen a single hen that doesn’t lay eggs.”

When Mo said this, he raised his neck proudly, as if he felt that what he said was very convincing.

She gave birth to two children, a son and a daughter, in the first three years of her marriage, and she established a firm foothold in her husband's family.

The woman who spoke didn't know that Gu Yunxi was pregnant. She squirmed a few times, not knowing how to respond.

Some people in the crowd laughed.

"Mrs. Mo, are you saying that Jianchuan's wife can't have children?"

"Everyone is pregnant now, didn't you know? Why can't I give birth? My Aunt He will be able to have a grandchild this year."

Mo's proud expression froze, but she still said stubbornly: "I haven't given birth yet. Who knows what I will be like after giving birth."

When everyone heard her vicious words, they shook their heads and stopped talking to her.

The Lu family invited people from the village to work in the medicine fields, and the wages they paid were more than twice what they received outside. Moreover, the Lu family were all kind people, not mean at all.

Mrs. Mo has nothing to do with Jianchuan's daughter-in-law. I really don't know why Mrs. Mo has such an attitude when it comes to Jianchuan's daughter-in-law and the Lu family.

However, these have nothing to do with them. They are not like the Mo family. They also hope that the Lu family will use more medicinal herbs, so that more people can be invited, and their families will have more opportunities to make money.

Xijiang Village is too poor. The village has a large population and little land allocated to it. There is always an abundant labor force. Almost all the men who can go out to find work have gone out.

Women, on the other hand, have elders and younger children at home. It is basically impossible for them to go far away to work. They just find things to do nearby to earn a little money and supplement the family income.

Gu Yunxi didn't know what the villagers were talking and arguing outside, and she didn't care.

She is busy drawing new patterns at home, preparing to make clothes for the child born in the future.

"Qingqing, Yunle, what do you think of this pattern?"

Gu Yunxi took the first painted Fuwa pattern and showed it to Lu Qingqing who was practicing on the side.

Her belly was already three months old and starting to show signs of pregnancy.

Her thoughts were changing day by day, from being at a loss when she first learned that she was pregnant, to now, step by step, she accepted the fact of pregnancy and began to look forward to the arrival of her child.

As for the medicine fields, they are basically left to Father Lu and the He family.

"It's beautiful, sister-in-law, it's so beautiful!" Lu Qingqing took the pattern and liked it more and more.

Lu Qingqing has practiced with Gu Yunxi for so long. Although he has improved a lot and can draw a lot of simpler patterns, it is still far behind Gu Yunxi's ability to draw a variety of novel patterns.

"Sister, is this Fuwa my little nephew?" Gu Yunle also looked over. The Fuwa was white, fat, and cute, which made her heart melt.

Gu Yunxi burst out laughing. She squinted her eyes and imagined what the unformed baby in her belly would look like.

Is it a boy or a girl? Is it more like her, or more like Lu Jianchuan?

If it's a girl, it's better to act like yourself, right? However, someone like Lu Jianchuan is not far behind. With Lu Jianchuan’s good looks, I’m afraid it’s suitable for both men and women.

When Lu Jianchuan came back in the evening, Gu Yunxi told him about this matter.

Lu Jianchuan took Gu Yunxi's hair in his hand, played with it, and said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, I like both boys and girls."

"It's okay to be like you, my wife is pretty. It's okay to be like me. I'm... not too ugly, right?"

Gu Yunxi couldn't help laughing: "Lu Jianchuan, if you are considered ugly, then there will be no good-looking men in Jihu Town."

Lu Jianchuan was infected by Gu Yunxi's smile and started to giggle as well. The pressure from his studies instantly disappeared.

The provincial examination was in August, it was already late spring, and there were only a few months left. After he broke his front leg, he never touched a book again.

Rao is extremely talented, and it takes a lot of time to thoroughly study his subjects.

These days, he waited for Gu Yunxi to fall asleep, and then secretly got up to read.

"Daughter-in-law, I will definitely pass the exam so that you can live a better life and your family will no longer be easily bullied."

Lu Jianchuan secretly clenched his fists and touched Gu Yunxi's belly with tenderness.

Days go by quickly, and under the care of Father Lu, who owns twenty acres of medicinal fields, the honeysuckle grows better and better.

The previous ten acres of honeysuckle were picked twice more before the flowering period was truly over.

Father Lu didn't take any of the money he earned and gave it all to Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi took out dozens more taels and put them in He's hands for household use.

Father Lu also hired people to plant watermelon seedlings on the more than seven acres of Shatian.

As for the one hundred acres of land in the space, except for the ten acres where honeysuckle and other herbs were planted previously, Gu Yunxi planted all the remaining ninety acres with watermelons.

When summer comes, you won’t have to worry about running out of watermelon.

Gu Yunxi smiled, wishing he could take a bite of watermelon that was full of water right now.

However, she didn't know that when the watermelon matured, she couldn't eat it as much as she was pregnant with her child. She could only eat a small piece at a time.

The Lu family now has a total of 20 acres of medicinal fields and more than seven acres of sandy fields. It is a bit difficult for Father Lu to manage it alone.

So, after discussing with Gu Yunxi, he made up his mind to ask Lu Yuanping, the eldest son of the village chief's family, to come and help him on a long-term basis, giving him two taels of silver every month.

Of course the village chief and Lu Yuanping agreed wholeheartedly, two taels of silver a month, which would be more than fifty coins a day.

In that year, it would be twenty-four taels of silver! so much!

The village chief was filled with joy.

It’s happening! It’s happening at home!

Fortunately, when the Lu family encountered trouble and needed help, he lent a helping hand.

For the first time, the village chief felt that he had done such a right thing!

However, when the village chief and his eldest son Lu Yuanping were happy, the youngest daughter-in-law, Ren, became jealous when she found out about it and threw the bowl in the house angrily.
