Changsheng went out with her and just went up the mountain. From what they heard from those people, Shitou's parents had gone into the mountain early.

Shen Rong was disappointed that Changsheng didn't have the chance to pick up the golden beans, but she was also glad that Changsheng had no reason to get into her bed.

Thinking of this, Shen Rong found it a little funny.

Sure enough, before Shen Rong finished washing her clothes, she saw Changsheng coming down the path at the foot of the mountain with his head hung.

There were many people washing clothes on this side of the canal. Shen Rong was squatting in the crowd. Changsheng still saw Shen Rong at a glance. He immediately came down the slope and ran straight to where Shen Rong was.

Changsheng's arrival attracted the attention of young girls and wives on both sides of the canal.

The canal in the morning is women's territory, and men in the village rarely set foot here in the morning.

It was obvious that Changsheng was here to find a wife, so everyone couldn't help but tease him.

"Changsheng, are you looking for your wife?"

"Changsheng, there are so many daughters-in-law here, have you found your own daughter-in-law?"

"Changsheng, are you here to help your wife wash clothes?"

Changsheng was not embarrassed when being teased. His eyes were always on Shen Rong. As usual, he did not react to everyone's jokes.

Those people were disappointed and stopped joking about immortality.

"Here he comes!" Shen Rong looked up at Changsheng while washing the clothes in her hands.

"Ah." Changsheng responded, then squatted down beside Shen Rong, staring at the clothes in Shen Rong's hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don’t know how long it took…

"Changsheng, let's go back." After washing the clothes, Shen Rong looked up and saw Changsheng in a daze.

Changsheng came back to his senses and without Shen Rong saying anything, he stood up and skillfully picked up the wooden basin containing clothes.

The two of them walked side by side beside the canal. When the villagers who were washing clothes by the canal saw this, they all said that Changsheng loved his wife very much. Some even envied Shen Rong.

Changsheng's family has few people and not much to do, so they can live a decent life. Unlike other families in the village, they have to take care of a whole family, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and they are so busy that they don't have time to rest all day long.

The key point is that Shen Rong has no mother-in-law to take care of her. Even if she has a grandmother, everyone can see that the Sixth Grandma has never taken care of her granddaughter-in-law Shen Sanniang.

Shen Sanniang can do whatever she wants on weekdays. The daughters-in-law who have not yet become mothers-in-law are so envious of her life without the supervision of her mother-in-law.

What's more, Changsheng is obedient and loves his wife.

Didn’t you see that as soon as Shen Sanniang threw on a piece of clothing, Changsheng came running over to help carry the basin?

Even if Changsheng is a fool, he is much better than the man at home who beats his wife at every turn and doesn't even help when the broom falls over.

We didn’t have these ideas before, but after more than a year of observation, we have discovered that this fool also has his advantages.

Shen Rong, who went home with Changsheng, didn't know that Changsheng's help in carrying the basin aroused everyone's envy.

If everyone knew that Changsheng prepared the water for Shen Rong's foot bath every night, they would be so envious!

A group of children were playing in the mud in a ravine and discovered golden beans. This matter could not be hidden.

The villagers flocked in again.

The child who had thrown the mud lump in the corner, after hearing what his friends told him, ran home to pick up the mud lump, washed it, and happily gave it to his parents, unexpectedly getting a piece of maltose in exchange from them.

Liu Jinfeng heard the villagers' discussions and went to Shen Rong's house in a mysterious manner.

"I heard that this time the golden beans were discovered by your Changsheng?"

This time, Liu Jinfeng actually wore new clothes when she came to visit the house. Shen Rong couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Liu Jinfeng noticed Shen Rong's gaze, and she tugged at the hem of her dress, "Isn't this dress nice? I bought it in town a few days ago, it's ready-made, and it fits me well."

Shen Rong nodded, "This dress suits my sister-in-law."

Although Liu Jinfeng's facial features are not outstanding, she has fair skin, and this red dress with a hint of purple makes her look particularly energetic.

When Liu Jinfeng heard Shen Rong praising her, she immediately smiled and said, "I tell you, a woman still needs money in her hands to live a comfortable life."

"Didn't Brother Ergou give the money he earned to my sister-in-law?" It was too late for Shen Rong to regret after she had said this.

Ergouzi is in poor health and seldom goes out to do odd jobs. The little money he earns occasionally is never enough for the family to spend.

As expected, Liu Jinfeng curled her lips and said, "The money he earns is not enough to spend, how can he give it to me?

Don't think I don't know. He secretly hides his own money and eats out well.

Humph! This time I didn’t tell him the truth. How much did I pick up? He thought I just picked up a few golden beans…”

Liu Jinfeng told Shen Rong about how she hid her private money.

Shen Rong was stunned. She thought that Sister Liu and Brother Ergou had a deep relationship! Unexpectedly...

Seeing Shen Rong's surprised face, Liu Jinfeng thought she was surprised about her hiding her private money, so she advised: "I said this to you to remind you, don't be silly and take out all the things you picked up last time, just keep them for yourself, and you can buy whatever you want in the future. It will be convenient for you to do anything. With money in hand, we will have confidence, right?"

As Liu Jinfeng was talking, she started talking about the eldest daughter-in-law of her neighbor's family who was a fool. She picked up a golden bean and gave it to her mother-in-law. When her daughter fell ill, she wanted her mother-in-law to take a few eggs to Sixth Grandpa to see her daughter, but her mother-in-law refused.

"You don't know, the neighbor has been saying since last night that the daughter of the eldest wife is sick. She cried for most of the night, but Mrs. Ma didn't give in.

He is still at home and we don’t know how seriously he is ill.” Liu Jinfeng said with a sympathetic look on her face.

The family next door to hers was from the Gu clan. The head of the family was Gu Laotian. It was a large family with three generations living under one roof.

Gu Laotian had four sons, each of whom had a group of children. There are now twenty grandchildren in total, and the eldest grandson has already reached the age to get married.

In the village, such a large family is normal, but Gu Laotian's family is a little abnormal.

Among the twenty grandchildren, nineteen are grandsons from his family and there is only one granddaughter, who is the only child born to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

"When I got married, I heard from others that Mr. Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, Tian, ​​had given birth to many children. Whenever a child was not a son, Mrs. Ma would take a look at the child and take the child away and kill him or her alive." Liu Jinfeng said, counting with her hands.

"Twelve?" Shen Rong was shocked. She had never heard of this incident.

"There were twelve girls, some were thrown into the cesspool, some were covered with a basin and suffocated to death, some were thrown into the mountains, and some were buried alive...

Those girls were all born to Gu Laotian’s daughters-in-law when they were young.

The one who suffered the most was the first wife, who gave birth to six girls in a row but none of them kept them. In the end, this one was snatched away by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family. I heard that it was because she was old and injured and could no longer have children, so she fought hard to get her. "Liu Jinfeng was really frustrated.

Shen Rong shuddered inexplicably when she heard Liu Jinfeng talk about the various ways those children died. "This is too cruel! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Isn't this retribution? I have nineteen grandchildren, the oldest is almost thirty, the youngest is thirteen, and none of them have found a granddaughter-in-law.

Who would dare to marry into such a family?

The whole family is very poor.

I guess that later on, Gu Laotian's eldest daughter-in-law will have to bring her daughter to your grandfather's house to ask him to see her. You'd better ask your grandfather to be careful and beware of any trouble."

Shen Rong looked at Liu Jinfeng's eyes, remembered the family's past practices, and suddenly realized what Liu Jinfeng meant.
