Wan Shufang chuckled lightly, but her eyes were cold. The ruthless coldness was enough to make Wang Xiaohui feel very panicked.

She was about to say something when Wan Shufang snorted coldly: "You know clearly that the third child is busy with the imperial examination, but you come to me to sow discord and try to instigate me to disturb the third child. Wang Xiaohui, don't treat everyone else as such." Fool."

The calm tone seemed to be talking about ordinary things, but it gave people a chill for no reason.

Wang Xiaohui suddenly felt that this chill made her soul feel like it was falling into the abyss, and her whole body shivered unconsciously.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you mean?" Wang Xiaohui quickly cheered up and tried to defend herself.

Wan Shufang glanced at her casually, reached out and patted her shoulder, and said seriously: "You'd better take your thoughts back and stop staring at the third couple. They won't work hard if they keep their status."

Thinking of these two dishonest people, Wan Shufang rarely appreciated Wang Xiaohui a little more, and said: "If you feel tired, you can take a proper rest. There is no need to work hard all the time."

After saying this, she sighed and went to care about Chen Hai.

Seeing that he had been reading and paying no attention to her, Wan Shufang glanced at the book, her eyes flashed slightly, but she turned around and left without saying anything.

After all, as a scholar who held all the books upside down, she felt that she would definitely get angry if she stayed any longer.

After she left, Chen Hai put down the book, and as soon as he put down the book in front of him, there was still a palm-sized book tightly held in his hand.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, hid the palm-sized book in the bookcase, and then began to wonder why Wan Shufang came in at this time.

"Why did mother come in now? Didn't she dare not come in before because she was worried that it would affect me?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so Chen Hai went to find Bai Lian.

"Have you finished all the work in your mother's land?"

Bai Lian was confused by the question.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Chen Hai felt a little uncomfortable even though he knew that she didn't care much about family affairs.

But when he thought that Bai Lian's father was a member of the town, and his family was not only rich but also well-connected, he gently sat next to Bai Lian and talked about his plans.

"Madam, it's getting hotter and hotter now, and the time for the imperial examination is getting closer, but there are more and more things going on at home. They are making noisy noises and I can't be quiet, so I plan to go to my father-in-law's house to sit down. a period of time."

Bai Lian has already had this idea.

If Wan Shufang hadn't been tough and told her to stay in the country, and Chen Hai didn't say anything, she would have let her father make trouble.

She sat up straight and looked at Chen Hai expectantly: "Are you really going to live at my house?"

Chen Hai looked at her affectionately, and his tone became gentler: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I just don't know how to talk to my mother."

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he still said sweet words: "Madam, I will always remember my father-in-law's kindness to me and never dare to forget it. You are my father-in-law's most beloved daughter, and I also want you to have a good life. , I don’t want you to stay in this country any longer.”

Feeling his caring words, Bai Lian was moved in her heart, and she also showed some emotion on her face, "Husband, I know you have me in your heart, but it's just because of your filial piety towards your mother that you don't dare to be nicer to me, but I know Your thoughts also understand your difficulties.”

"Don't worry, go study. Mother, I will find a way to convince her."

Bai Lian didn't want to stay in Sifang Village forever.

She has always wanted to go home and live the life of a young lady.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work." Chen Hai's tone became gentler.

Bai Lian took advantage of this, her whole body softened, and then she lay in Chen Hai's arms and enjoyed the peaceful moment with him.

The couple stayed in their room enjoying a peaceful time. Wan Shufang, who came out of the study and ran to the fields to find Chen Changli, accidentally bumped into a child.

"Ouch, it hurts!" The seven-year-old child fell directly to the ground. Because of the pain, his tears fell like pearls.

Wan Shufang felt embarrassed when she heard his cry and quickly reached out to hold him up. "Where did it hurt? Tell my aunt quickly and she will take a look at it for you."

When the child heard this, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt, and he quickly resisted Wan Shufang with his hands, "I don't feel any pain anymore, don't look at it for me."

"Are you shy?" Wan Shufang saw the child raise his head and realized that he was Xiao Shitou, the grandson of Aunt Wang's family in the village. Seeing his shy look, Wan Shufang couldn't help teasing him.

Xiao Shitou blushed and said, "I'm not shy."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Wan Shufang smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Really? Maybe I saw it wrong. By the way, why did you come from this direction? Your field should be on the left."

Wan Shufang said and pointed the direction to Xiao Shitou.

Xiao Shitou seemed to have done something wrong, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his eyes, and his hands tightly covered his pockets.

Wan Shufang observed his words and followed his movements in the blink of an eye to see shriveled ears of wheat falling out of his pocket.

"Did you go to the fields to pick wheat ears?" Wan Shufang asked curiously.

After the locust plague, most villagers suffered heavy losses.

In order to avoid greater losses, they also harvested all the grain they could harvest in the fields.

So where did Little Stone’s ears of wheat come from? Could it be that one of the families fell to the ground?

"I didn't pick this up in the field." Xiao Shitou found out that what he had hidden was discovered, and Xiao Shitou looked embarrassed. "I picked this up outside Bai Lazy Man's yard. Bai Lazy Man has been eating well recently. , I passed by his house before, and he handed me a wheat cake."

Speaking of the particularly fragrant wheat cake, Little Shitou couldn't help but drool.

White lazy guy? The man was so lazy that even his land was mortgaged, and everything he needed to eat and drink depended on stealth and abduction.

Where did he get the wheat cake? Could it be that someone stole food from someone recently?

When Wan Shufang thought about stealing food, she thought of the fact that her own food had been stolen.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Although she and Chen Changli have been busy planting medicine and raising food these days, they are also trying to find out who is so bad, otherwise she would not let Chen Tao find time to patrol the fields every day.

It's just that Sifang Village has been very quiet these days. All the villagers are busy with their own food rations, and they don't pay attention to other people at all.

Wan Shufang made a special observation while she was working and found that everyone was busy with their lives and didn't care much about her family's affairs. She really didn't have the energy to come to her family's fields in the middle of the night.

Because the village was calm and the villagers were either busy in the fields or digging wild vegetables everywhere as usual, Wan Shufang put this matter aside.

Now when she heard Xiao Shitou's words, she suddenly realized that she did not suspect the gangsters in the village.

"Little Shitou, it's too hot. You should go home quickly to avoid getting heat stroke outside."

Wan Shufang coaxed Xiao Shitou to go home as soon as possible, and quickly went to Chen Changli to tell him.

"There are some hooligans in our village. They are lazy and love to play with cats and dogs. But recently they have become calm. This is really weird."

"I doubt that they can be so peaceful. They must be trying to steal other people's food. I plan to go find them to test it out."

Wan Shufang said that she was going to find Bai Lanhan.

Chen Changli stopped her quickly: "These gangsters often come in groups. How can you go to them directly if you are alone and weak? Let me go."

After he finished speaking, he was about to go to the end of the village. Suddenly, a voice pierced the sky, "There is a thief. Someone come and help me catch the thief."
