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

Jiang Muxia came out of the tavern, stood at the door, covering his forehead with his hands and looking into the distance.

Since its opening, the ferry has not recovered its former prosperity. There are very few ships coming and going, and the boatmen spend most of the time sitting idly at the ferry and chatting.

She stood there for a while and her stomach began to growl.

Yes, she hasn't eaten a single grain of rice since last night.

She walked to the restaurant and asked Ruan Fenfang for a bowl of steamed noodles, then sat at the counter and started eating.

Ruan Fenfang seemed to want to say something but hesitated. She wandered around her, her face flushed red.

Jiang Muxia's eyes followed her footsteps. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, wondering when did everyone become so secretive and dared not say anything openly.

"Sister Fenfang, just say what you want to say." She put down her chopsticks and took a sip of the egg drop soup.

"That..." Ruan Fenfang lowered her voice and carefully considered her words before she spoke: "Yesterday evening, I saw Uncle Jiang cleaning a yard in Funiu Lane. As far as I know, the people living in that yard took their entire family to live with their relatives when the plague first broke out, and the house has been empty ever since. I don't know if he rented it or... Anyway, you remind him not to be fooled. There are a lot of ownerless yards over there now, and if he really wants to rent it, he may have gone through the government."

Jiang Muxia's brows tightened, and she listened carefully, focusing on the many empty yards.

Jiang Yuqing was not worried. At the beginning of this spring, he had proposed to buy a small yard outside.

I'm afraid he has already made a move. If nothing unexpected happens, the yard that Ruan Fenfang mentioned was bought by Jiang Yuqing.

She was thinking, if what Ruan Fenfang said was true, she might as well buy two more yards. She had to make plans for Li Jiyi, living in a restaurant all the time was not a long-term solution. He was not young anymore, it was time for him to get married.

"Sister Fenfang, are you serious? Is there a yard for sale near your home?"

"You really asked the right person." Ruan Fenfang knew what she was going to do as soon as she heard it. "A few days ago, I went to Brother Guan's house to look for Fubao. I heard him say that the family next door to his house died of the epidemic and only had a three-year-old child. The child's in-laws took him away some time ago. I specifically asked Brother Guan to sell the house if he met a suitable family. I just don't know if it has been sold now, or I can ask for you?"

"No need. I'll go find Uncle Guan after dinner."

Now that she had found a house, she was no longer in a hurry. She finished her meal leisurely in the restaurant and then walked towards the southeast of the city.

Guan Tiexin was the only one in the blacksmith shop, working busily on making farm tools.

But there was a woman covering her mouth and nose at the door of the shop.

Jiang Muxia had seen this woman before. It was she who once sat in the same position and proposed marriage to Guan Tiexin.

This time, just like last time, he was trying to persuade him earnestly.

"Mr. Guan, why are you so stubborn? It would have been great if you had married her. Her wife just gave birth to a big fat son, and now you have a family of six. For ordinary people like us, having more children means more blessings, and you missed one. Look, the young lady you are talking about this time also has a miserable life. The damn plague took away four of her five members of her family, leaving only her."

Seeing that he ignored her, the woman had no intention of giving up and continued to describe how good and capable the young lady was.

"She is only 20 years old, young and can still bear children. Your business is getting better and better. With her helping you run the business, I wonder how your life will be prosperous."

Guan Tiexin replied calmly, "I just have two children. I have never thought of marrying another one."

The woman was about to argue with him, but Jiang Muxia spoke up to smooth things over for him. She said with a smile, "Aunt, do you know why Uncle Guan disagrees?"

The woman was startled, staring at Jiang Muxia blankly and asked, "Why?"

"Because he has someone in his heart."

The woman asked anxiously, "Who?"

Guan Tiexin stopped what he was doing, looked at her in surprise and was about to explain, but was stopped by Jiang Muxia with a look.

"I can't tell you this. Aunt, please don't embarrass me. If I block someone's marriage, Uncle Guan will blame me."

Jiang Muxia dared to say this because Fubao and Tiedan mentioned to her many times that Ruan Fenfang sewed clothes for them and helped them cook. Guan Tiexin also often went to Ruan Fenfang's house to help with heavy work and climb high and low.

The two families visit each other, help each other, visit each other frequently, and get along very harmoniously.

If both of them are interested, she would be happy to help them get together.

The woman frowned and stood up suddenly.

She scolded Guan Tiexin in great dissatisfaction, "What a person you are. You already have someone in your heart, but you let me talk so much here. You are not a real person."

After saying that, he snorted and walked away with his butt twisted.

Guan Tiexin sighed. Having offended this gossipy woman, his reputation would be ruined.

"Uncle Guan, why don't you live with Sister Fenfang?" She said this tentatively. The two of them were of similar age and temperament. Uncle Guan's family didn't have any nosy parents-in-law, and the four children usually had a good time playing together.

It was a match made in heaven.

"Don't talk nonsense. If other people hear this, Madam Ruan's reputation will be ruined. I am living a good life with my two children and I will never remarry for the rest of my life. Don't say this again." Guan Tiexin was very serious.

Jiang Muxia sighed inwardly, it seemed that these two people were not destined to be together. She just didn't know if Sister Fenfang had any feelings for him. What if..., she would be so sad.

She would have to find a chance to ask her implicitly.

Jiang Muxia quickly changed the subject and told her the purpose of her visit.

"The house is still there. Who wants to buy it?"

"I."

Guan Tiexin didn't ask any more questions. He took her to the next door and opened the gate.

This courtyard had the same layout as Guan's, so it was suitable for living. The roof had new tiles, and in one corner of the courtyard there was a peach tree full of fruits.

When she saw the peaches, she thought of her sister. It would be nice to buy them for her sister as a dowry.

"I like it. When can I process the transfer documents?"

"You can do it right now. They wrote me a letter of authorization, and I can go with you to handle it. However, they want twenty-three taels of silver for the room. They won't pay less than that."

"Sure." Jiang Muxia liked this yard and the price was acceptable to him.

After completing the paperwork, she found Hu Daxin, who looked very happy, in the yamen and asked him to move in after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After leaving the yamen, she went straight to Tuanyuanju.

Fuzi had already sent over all the food and daily necessities for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children were standing by Huzi's bed.

"You're still a little hot. Have you taken the medicine?" Jiang Muxia put her hand on Hu Zi's forehead to test, and a heat spread to her palm.

"I drank twice, and once in the evening."

"Sister Jiang, is Brother Huzi okay?" Xiaonan asked her sadly with tears on her cheeks.

"Of course he's fine. He's been depressed for a long time, and it came out last night. Coupled with the blood and qi attacking his heart, he got sick. This illness is a good thing for him. After he recovers, he will be able to return to being the tiger he used to be." Jiang Muxia said.
