The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Jiang Muxia quickened her pace and walked towards the villa.

Jiang Muyang, who was looking into the well, turned around and saw his elder sister who had returned, and ran towards her happily.

"Sister, the water is out, the water is out." The little guy danced with excitement. To him, it was like a great honor.

"Really? We don't have to carry water anymore?" Jiang Muxia pretended to be ignorant, teased him with a smile, took his little hand and led them to the well.

Xu was already busy finishing the work by the well.

"Water started to come out after you left. We dug more than ten feet deeper, and the water level became higher. Sister Jiang, this is good. We don't have to be afraid of drought this year." Fuzi took a shovel and shoveled the loose soil around the well, leveling it to the same level as the well platform.

"That's right. The water is still a little turbid now. We have to wait for twelve hours before it can be used normally." Xu Zao said as he swept the dust on the well platform.

"Can you get a lockable manhole cover for the well?" Water is meant to be drunk, and she was really afraid that someone would have bad intentions and put poison in it, then they would be finished.

"Of course." Xu had foresight. In his spare time, he had made a cover with a mold, and he would install it after the well platform was cast and solidified.

The biggest worry that had been weighing on her mind had now been resolved. She asked everyone to fetch water from the well to water the cotton and vegetables in the yard. After lunch, the group locked the gate and left the village.

It was just after 3 p.m. when they returned to the south of the city. The carriage stopped under the willow tree in front of the Jiang family's gate, and Fuzi and Zhou Yue took the children to Tuanyuanju.

Jiang Muxia went straight to the restaurant and put down the burden in her heart. She felt as light as a swallow and her face was filled with a warm smile.

There was no sign of Chang Juan outside the restaurant. I guess she had closed her stall and cleaned the door tidy.

She sighed inwardly, wondering if her mother had told her cousin to save some braised meat for her.

The restaurant hall was quiet and I didn't know where everyone had gone.

Li Jiyi was sitting at the counter fiddling with an abacus. When he heard someone walk in, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Sir, we're closed. Please come in early tomorrow."

Jiang Muxia stopped in front of the counter, looking at him with a half-smile.

Feeling that the person in front of him had no intention of leaving, Li Jiyi finally stopped what he was doing and raised his head curiously. Seeing that it was her, he said unhappily, "Girl, why didn't you say anything? I thought it was a guest!"

"Where is the person? Where is the meat I asked my cousin to save?"

"Sister Juan told you to come pick it up tomorrow morning. The taste will be reduced after leaving it overnight, so it's better to give it as a gift when it's fresh."

"Oh!" Jiang Muxia said as she walked towards the backyard, "You go ahead and do your thing. I have something to ask my brother."

Li Jiyi shook his head helplessly. Although he didn't know what she was busy with, based on his understanding of her, she must be looking for a business to make money. But he couldn't understand why she wanted to return to Xigang Village to work.

On the second floor of the tavern, the door was open. On the table in front of Xu Da were more than a dozen different medicinal herbs. Opposite him sat a pretty little girl. Her eyes followed Xu Da's fingers and she called out the name and function of each herb on the table.

Seeing their serious attitude, she didn't dare to say anything. She sat down on the couch under the window and drank red date tea by herself.

After he finished identifying the herbs, Xu Da raised his head, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Da understood her and she would not come to him unless there was something important.

After Suanzao put away the herbs, Jiang Muxia picked her up and sat her in his arms.

"Suanzao is getting better and better. He is fatter than before and his complexion is rosy."

Suanzao bowed respectfully to Xu Da and said in a soft voice, "It's all because of Master's good teaching."

Jiang Muxia chuckled. Little thing, you really never miss any opportunity to compliment your master.

Jiang Muxia took advantage of her unpreparedness and gave Suanzao's pink and tender little face a kiss. After the little girl was stunned, she raised her little hand to wipe the saliva off her face.

This made Xu Da burst out laughing. Jiang Muxia pretended to be angry and put her down. "Go downstairs and play. I have something to say to your master."

"Is there water in the well? If you have any ideas, just tell me." Xu Da knew his sister too well. She would make every effort to get the bargaining chip.

"Since you plan to move the winery to the village, you should make plans early, buy the land, build a wall around it, and wait until the drought eases so that you can start building the house!"

"And then?" Xu Da stared at her without smiling. He saw through everything but did not say anything, waiting for her to make her own request.

Jiang Muxia's eyes turned and she smiled, "Then you can move and start work!"

Xu Da was speechless, raised his eyebrows, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at her leisurely, the smile in his eyes reaching to the bottom of his eyes.

Jiang Muxia felt embarrassed by his gaze, and said directly, "During the time before I move in, let me use it. I want to grow crops, and without a fence, the villagers will steal it sooner or later. So, brother, are you willing to help me?"

Her expression showed grievance, pleading, and a hint of stubbornness.

She is a strong-willed person who never wants to trouble others. It takes a huge determination for her to ask for help.

"Sure." Xu Da agreed immediately, and he was surprised. They had worked together so many times, but why did this girl still lack confidence in front of him?

"Thank you, sworn brother."

She was about to leave, and when she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something.

"Brother, if my aunt and the others come to the restaurant to cause trouble these days, please help drive them away." Based on her understanding of Zhou Huaihua, she will definitely not give up. The drought is serious and there is no food at home. She will definitely come here to cause trouble out of desperation. Now Qi is helping in the restaurant. Once she comes, she will definitely find someone.

There are many people at the ferry and they may cause a commotion, which will affect the reputation of the pubs and restaurants.

"it is good."

The next morning, Jiang Muxia went to the restaurant, picked up the braised meat, and drove the carriage to the village.

The well water was still a little turbid, so she drew a bucket of water and put her hand into it. The moment her fingers approached the well water, she felt a chill running straight into her heart. Why did it feel like it was frozen?

"It's so cold." She quickly pulled her hand back from the bucket.

I was very surprised. It was already early April, how could the well water be so cold?

Before she had time to think about it, she washed her hands, picked up the braised meat wrapped in oil paper, and went to the village.

There is a straight sloping path from the villa to the back street. It is very short and there are few people passing by.

Nowadays, all the green leaves that have sprouted in the village have been picked up by the villagers, even the leaves on the trees are not spared.

The village in April should be green and full of vitality.

But looking around, all I see is bare and yellow ground, which is exactly the same as the scene in late autumn or early winter.

It should have been time to make breakfast early in the morning, but looking up, there were only a handful of houses with chimneys in the entire village.

The gate of the Zhang family's courtyard was closed and the yard was quiet. Jiang Muxia looked up and saw that there was no smoke coming out of her chimney either.

"Isn't anyone home?" She tried to raise her hand and knock on the door, shouting, "Aunt Zhang, this is Mu Xia, are you home?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard some noise in the yard. Aunt Zhang opened the door, reached out and pulled her in, then closed the door again with a "clang", pulled up the bolt and bolted it.

Seeing her nervous expression, she finally understood that this was a family hiding at home to eat!

Aunt Zhang blushed and said with a wry smile, "Excuse me, this is an emergency, we have to be careful."

She smiled and expressed her understanding. The villagers knew that her family had food and they had to rob her house.

She handed the meat in her hand to Aunt Zhang and wanted to leave.

One wanted to leave and the other insisted on staying. As they were arguing, they suddenly heard heart-wrenching cries coming from the yard in front.
