When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

The woods are not only sparsely populated, but also not much grass.Fang Tianlin asked Shen Jiahe and the others to plant the most flourishing weeds in the woods while they were weeding the fields.Afterwards, he kept watering them with space water, and within a few days, they glowed with vitality again.

The chicks are too young to be placed in the woods and are currently confined to the coop.In the past few days, the number of chickens has increased by a small amount. At this rate, it will not take long to gather a thousand chickens.

Because the weeds had just been planted, the two sheep were also tied to wooden stakes and fed mainly by hand.

Ever since they decided to raise so many chickens, the Shen family worked everywhere in the mountain fields whenever they had free time. Baskets of grass were sent to the new house, and the rest were dried and fed after winter.

Fang Tianlin didn't care much about these things, but put a small water tank covered with wooden boards in each area of ​​the chicken farm, which was specially used to store water in the inner space. When the Shen family asked, he simply said, "It's convenient." Feed the chickens and drink water" and that's it.The Shen family felt that this was reasonable, and accepted it without much thought.

Fang Tianlin took over the work of carrying water and mixing chicken food, and he also took part in hunting work. He didn't get involved in raising chickens, and spent his free time on the acre of land in the woods.He didn't forget that it was still dry outside, and water and food were more important than anything else at this time.There are springs with space to produce, so there is no need to worry about drinking water, and food has become the top priority.

Originally, Fang Tianlin had a good plan, but after listening to Father Shen and the others, he gave up his original plan.Except for five-point potatoes, all others are planted with soybeans to fertilize the field.

At this time, the time for planting beans is very tight. If you are lucky, you will get a harvest. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to catch up with the ripening time, and you can only get some shriveled pods.Fortunately, harvesting beans was just incidental, and the goal was to fertilize the field. Fang Tianlin didn't care whether there was a harvest or not.

Because winter wheat will be interplanted in one or two months, the space between the soybean ridges will be relatively large.There are many Shen family members, and within a day, an acre of land was organized.But it can't be planted yet, and seedlings must be raised first.

When all the seedlings are planted on that acre of land, there will be enough chicks on the chicken farm.Now Mrs. Zhang and the others don't have to travel around the village anymore, and can have a good rest for a while.So far, Jingchao has no farmers who specialize in hatching chickens and selling them. In order to collect the thousand chicks, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Yao, and the others have spent a lot of effort.

Originally, Fang Tianlin was going too, but Mrs. Zhang thought that if she was not there, if the third daughter-in-law also went out, the triplets would not be taken care of. After all, Shen Jiahe still had to take care of the work in the field, and it was impossible to be at home every day, so she handed over to Fang Tianlin, the person in charge. She stayed, and she took the wives around to buy chicken seedlings.

Although the Shen family made a lot of noise, since the entire forest was surrounded by thick and tall fences, and then a circle of star anise thorns was planted, no one except the Shen family knew what was going on inside.

Father Shen and the others knew the seriousness of the matter. Although the villagers did not know exactly how many chickens the Shen family raised, they were sure that there were a lot of chickens. , lest they be tempted by adults to say something they shouldn't say.As for the smaller ones, I don't understand them at all, and I can't ask anything.

Many people in Guangyan Village thought that there might be a drought this year. As a result, there were two consecutive rains in autumn. Although it was not heavy, the drought was relieved and the autumn harvest was able to proceed smoothly before the Shahe River bottomed out.

Even so, this season's harvest reduction has become inevitable.Fortunately, the reduction in production is not too large, and the current harvest has greatly exceeded the expectations of the farmers, and everyone is very fortunate.

Fang Tianlin looked at the sandy river water that was only up to his knees, and lowered his eyes slightly. If it was still like this after the spring of next year, then he had to be prepared, and the chicken farm had to be closed. He understood the reason for the crime of Huaibi.Let's look at the situation first. Now it is the slack period for farming. Most of the fields are empty for cultivation. Only some crops that need to be planted in winter have to be carefully considered.

The situation in Guangyan Village is not bad. The Shahe River is almost dry, but they still have enough water to use, and they even have enough water to irrigate with well water.Some villages that are even short of water have almost given up on winter crops, and only planted a few, to see if they can survive until next spring.

The autumn tax is the same as the summer tax, and it has to be paid more than in previous years. Fortunately, the additional tax is equivalent to the summer tax and has not continued to increase. Otherwise, some of the villagers may not be able to afford it.

Fang Tianlin felt that this was a bit wrong. After all, the area around Guangyan Village was also hit by a disaster. Although the harvest loss was small, it should not increase the burden on the farmers at this time.It's all like this, and taxes continue to increase. Could it be that the situation outside is not good?

In Guangyan Village, the village chief and officials have more contacts. After a spring was dug out from the forest, the status of the Shen family in Guangyan Village has risen in a straight line. , Fang Tianlin told his father-in-law about his doubts, and Father Shen went to the village chief's house.

The yamen servants need someone to entertain them when they go out to do errands, and the village head is the only one who has this honor in Guangyan Village.Father Shen was also among the guests this time, and he entered the village chief's house with a newly grown rooster.

"Hey, why are you so polite, and you bring such a big gift when you come over for a meal?" The village chief's wife said nicely, but when she saw that the feather in Old Shen's hand was bright, even though her feet and wings were tied, she was still struggling. The non-stop rooster was picked up, and after asking someone to come over to greet Father Shen, he went into the kitchen to boil water to slaughter the chicken, his movements were neat and unambiguous.

Father Shen has been to the village chief's house many times, but apart from hosting banquets, this is the first time he has been a guest at his house.Drinking some wine and eating delicious food, Father Shen was very emotional. He owed this to his third daughter-in-law. Otherwise, depending on the family background of the Shen family, he might not even be close to the village head's family.

After drinking, people are easily excited, and once the chatterbox is opened, many scruples will be reduced.While exchanging greetings with the people at the table, Old Man Shen made inquisitive inquiries. Without much effort, he asked all sorts of questions about the third daughter-in-law.

Everything was going in a good direction, but something went wrong at the end of the banquet.

"These chickens are not bad, let me get some more." The yamen servant said this very casually, but in Old Shen's ears, his good mood was gone.

"This..." The village chief turned his gaze to Father Shen.

"Why, inconvenient?"

"No, sir, it's just that the chicken doesn't belong to my family, so I can't be the master, right?" The village head signaled to Father Shen to respond, "Do you think you should go there, or should someone bring the chicken over?"

Yacha looked up at the sky, then touched his stomach, which was a little stuffed: "Let's go there, just in time to digest food."

Father Shen was both upset and frightened, but he still knew what was good and bad. He tried his best to put on a smile and walked ahead to lead the way.

The Shen family was very happy at first. The first batch of chickens raised by Fang Tianlin would be ready to be slaughtered after a while. When they saw Father Shen coming back, they all smiled and greeted him. The laughter stopped abruptly, the smile froze on his face, his expression was stiff, and he didn't know how to place his hands and feet.

"Third daughter-in-law, go grab a few chickens and bring them to the yamen's servants to drink with them at night." Father Shen's voice broke the silence of the courtyard. eat.

Fang Tianlin came out in response, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw such a scene. His eyes darkened, his gentle face was put away, and he exuded an aura of keeping away from others. His cold eyes swept over the two yamen servants: "Father, I There is still work to be done, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Fang Tianlin ignored everyone's bewildered faces, went to the utility room to get an axe, and took out all the short tree stumps that were used to chop firewood in the past, and chopped down with the axe in front of everyone. The short tree stump split into two in an instant, and after a few more chops, the short tree stump turned into pieces of firewood.

Fang Tianlin threw down the axe, patted the sawdust stained on his body, squinted and said: "Father, the work is done, how many chickens do you want to catch?"

Father Shen's eyes widened suddenly, he muttered for a while, but finally he didn't say a word.

"No, no need." The two yamen servants took a step back in unison, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and they refused in unison.

"How can this be done? It's rare for you to come here once. It's shameful to go back empty-handed. People who don't know will think that our village hosts are not good enough." Fang Tianlin's voice was as gentle as the warm sun in spring, and he had the aura only after going through bloody battles. But he didn't take it back, and everyone felt that it was against harmony.

"No, I really don't need it." The yamen servants' legs began to tremble.When did Guangyan Village produce such a character?This person is more imposing than those gangsters. He has obviously seen blood. They still have a lot of good life to live, and no one can offend such a person.

"Since the two poor men have said so, then I don't want to embarrass you. That's all right, I'll catch two chickens, why can't I let you go away empty-handed?" Fang Tianlin eased his expression and turned his gaze to Father Shen, "Father, you first greet these two servants, I will come as soon as I go."

Shen Jiahe watched Fang Tianlin disappear at the gate of the courtyard all the time before covering his beating heart.My daughter-in-law is really amazing, she can take care of the government servants that the villagers dare not provoke without any effort, just ask the nearby ten miles and eight villages, who has this ability?

Father Shen was delighted with the sudden move of the third daughter-in-law, which saved the chickens raised by his family from being harmed by people, but also felt embarrassed by the mess he left behind.For a while, he didn't know how to face these two servants.It's just that everything has already happened, so he simply broke the jar, and according to the third daughter-in-law's wishes, enthusiastically invited the two yamen servants into the main room and asked the daughter-in-law to serve tea.

The status of the yamen servants is actually not high, but in the eyes of the common people, that is also a level that they cannot touch.Every time a yamen messenger comes over, the village will take the initiative to offer some things.Fortunately this time, the yamen servants kicked the iron plate in Guangyan Village. That man was not a man with a savage face and a fierce face, but he gave the two people a more terrifying feeling than those people.The sharp gaze swept over the two of them, as if surrounded by a group of poisonous snakes, without any warmth in the gaze, which made people shudder.At that moment, the two of them really felt what it meant to be a war between two strands. If they hadn't been able to move at that time, they would have been so ashamed that they would rush out the door.

After taking a sip of hot tea, the two yamen servants came to their senses. The sticky back reminded them again that there was a master who was not easy to mess with in this family. It wasn't that evil star who left a message telling them to wait, how could the two of them sit still?

The village head was also sweating coldly, drinking water to soothe his frightened heart, and had no time to care about other things, but the Shen family was better.Father Shen wanted to open his mouth to break the solemn atmosphere, but seeing that the three of them were uneasy, he gave up his thoughts.

For a moment, the whole hall was silent.

To untie the bell still needs someone to tie it, and in less than a cup of tea, Fang Tianlin walked in with two chickens upside down.

"I don't know what to call the two servants? This chicken is well-raised and the meat is tender, so don't waste it." Fang Tianlin's tone was gentle, but he was so frightened that the two yamen servants who were drinking tea almost jumped up.

"Just call me Zhou Yi, this is Zhang Ting." After saying that, Zhou Yi stood up immediately, he didn't want to stay in Shen's house for a moment, "It's getting late, we won't bother you, let's leave."

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, you haven't got the chicken yet." Fang Tianlin walked a few steps quickly, stuffed two hens into Zhou Yi's hands, and watched the two hurried out, with a quick smile in his eyes.

"I'm done with the matter, then I'm leaving too." The village head followed closely and left, not even giving Old Shen a chance to send him out.

"Daughter-in-law, you are amazing!" Shen Jiahe stared at Fang Tianlin with bright eyes.

"Why, you're not afraid of me?" Fang Tianlin lowered his head slightly, straightening his collar for Shen Jiahe.

"What am I afraid of you?" Shen Jiahe was puzzled.

"I said the wrong thing. Let's go back to the room to see the child." Fang Tianlin suppressed his aura and dragged Shen Jiahe into the east wing with ease, leaving the Shen family in a mess in the wind.

Before, he still looked like a god of evil, as if he could block and kill gods and Buddhas, so why did he turn into a good wife and father in the next second?

Although the Shen family did not face Fang Tianlin directly, they were undoubtedly the ones who suffered the most mental shock.In the past, Fang Tianlin had a very good temper when facing the Shen family. He had never been angry for any reason, and he would not haggle with others over trivial matters. No one thought that he still had such a side.

While the Shen family was afraid, they were very fortunate that there was such a person who could not be easily provoked, and the Shen family would be much more stable.

Fang Tianlin knew that he had mixed advantages and disadvantages, but he didn't regret it at all.As long as the Shen family still regards him as a family member, this unfavorable influence will gradually disappear. On the contrary, he can also find out in advance whether other people are really what he sees on the surface.

After Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting left Shen's house, they didn't linger any longer. They told the village chief to press grain into the city tomorrow, and hurried to the next big village with the tax money.Those small villages don't need to be watched by them, and the village chiefs are in charge.

They didn't slow down until they drove far away from Guangyan Village.

"Zhang Ting, do you want to change guards with other people next year?" Zhou Yi still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.

Zhang Ting didn't respond immediately, he thought for a while with his head sullen, and then slowly cleared his mind: "Just now I asked Village Chief Shen, and that person is the daughter-in-law of the third son of the Shen family. She came in at the end of last spring. He has a good temper. It is not easy to see such a person with such a terrifying aura. Let's take a look first, maybe..."

Zhou Yi has no objection to this.The two have been in charge of Guangyan Village's tax collection, and nothing happened a few times before, at least it shows that what Zhang Ting found out is true, and that person is not a vicious person.The reason why it happened this time is that they directly provoked him and asked for too many things.Just like that, Fang Tianlin forced them two chickens. Obviously, he didn't want to offend them completely.With such a rational and bloodless person, it is also a good thing for them to have a good relationship. Maybe now is an opportunity.

Both of them have tasted the taste of the chicken in their hands. The meat is tender and delicious. It tastes better than ordinary domestic chickens. It is obviously a top-grade chicken, and it is the best to give as a gift as a favor.Just thinking about the consequences of sending the chicken out, both of them hesitated.If Shangguan eats well and asks for it like them, will they give it or not?Here, where can they get it?Don't give it, isn't that offending people?This is obviously contrary to their original intention of giving gifts.

The horse trotted forward, and both were preoccupied.

In the end, Zhang Ting thought of a way: "Send it, but you can't send it directly, you have to find a good time. Isn't your family going to have a wedding after a while? At that time, you can think of a way to invite all the Shangguan who have a good relationship with us. Now, how many can you invite? Find a good cook and cook my chicken and send it to the main table. At that time, you can’t cross the river and tear down the bridge. Don’t take all the benefits, at least give it to me Save some soup. As for how to get the chicken from that person, it's a simple matter, we just buy it at the price."

Zhang Ting said it boldly, but in fact he was very heartbroken.The chicken tastes good, so the price will not be cheap. Although it is only from a farmer's family, the two of them dare not fool around just because of Fang Tianlin's ruthless side.The two of them are just yamen servants, and the wages they get in a year are not high. If there is no money to be made on weekdays, life may not be much better than ordinary people.It is precisely because of this that the two are more and more aware of the importance of status and power.

Drought has occurred in the entire county of Fuyang County this year. Although it is not serious, the lives of the people are difficult, and it has also affected them to a certain extent.The two of them are not yet at the level of ordinary people, some things are taken as soon as they are taken, but some things cannot be moved no matter what.It wouldn't do them any good to make a big fuss over such a small thing.The situation in the future is still uncertain, and they have to find a way to go further, so as to make their family members more secure.

Father Shen did not forget the entrustment of the third daughter-in-law, and after dinner, he signaled to his son and daughter-in-law to stay.

"It's just a small drought on our side, but the drought on the other side of the Shangyang Mountains is serious. The summer harvest over there is not good, and the autumn harvest is almost complete. If the drought continues, there should be people fleeing famine in summer and autumn next year at the latest." Shen The old man's expression was a bit dignified. Although Guangyan Village has successfully harvested two seasons here, the situation is not very optimistic.He looked around and said, "I decided to buy a cow, so that I don't need to borrow another ox cart when I go out in the future. As long as we don't tell ourselves, it's not easy for others to know what we have in our house."

The brothers Shen Jiahai had no objection.If the family didn't have a bullock cart, their every move would be under the noses of the villagers. If the Shen family kept buying grain, wouldn't it be a clear target?If anyone's family ran out of food, the Shen family was probably the first thing that came to mind. They must never make such a mistake.

After reaching a consensus, Father Shen rushed to Yufeng Town the next day, and brought a cow back to the village around noon. His old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and everyone he met greeted him one after another.

A cow is a big item, and it can't be taken down for more than ten taels of silver.A few months ago, Shen Jiahe just bought the forest, and spent money to build a house and a few chicken coops. From the things the villagers saw with their own eyes, it can be seen that the Shen family has a lot of wealth.In the past, the Shen family had only a few ways to get money, no different from other families, and it was clear at a glance what they relied on to get started.

The villagers were all sighing, why did the Shen family get lucky and marry such a capable daughter-in-law as Fang Tianlin?If they also... Unfortunately, there is only one Fang Tianlin, so they can get it if they want it?

With cattle, the car frame is easy to handle.The Shen family had originally built a cart, but with a little modification, the cart became a covered ox cart.

Fang Tianlin has the skill of hunting. Before he had an ox cart, Father Shen would go to the town every now and then, but his travels were not attracting attention at all.

There are a lot of acquaintances in the town, and people go there almost every market day, so Father Shen didn't buy grain in Yufeng Town, but changed direction and went to Xiayuan Town, a neighboring town further away.He didn't buy much and often, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.

There are many people who have hope for the future like Father Shen, which is why the food price hardly fluctuates.Of course, this is just one of the points. The most important thing is that the autumn harvest has just ended, and it is the time when the price of grain is the lowest in the year. It's really a big deal.

Ever since Fang Tianlin intimidated the two yamen servants that day, the atmosphere in the Shen family has been a little weird. Fortunately, this situation lasted for a very short time, and it returned to its previous appearance within two days. What was the attitude of the Shen family towards Fang Tianlin before? What's the attitude.

Liu Cheng, who was closest to Fang Tianlin, boasted to him unabashedly, and even asked him with a little envy how he cultivated his aura.The few hunters in the village often go hunting in the mountains, but they are not so intimidating. The Shen family automatically attributes this to personal talent.

Fang Tianlin was speechless for a moment and could only acquiesce in this.He couldn't say that he had actually seen blood in his previous life, and this blood didn't refer to that kind of beast's blood.He doesn't want to be like this, but sometimes things are so helpless.

"Third Aunt, hurry up to the chicken farm, the grandma in the lobby is going in to catch chickens, and Third Uncle can hardly stop her." Shen Song shouted anxiously, panting with his hands on his thighs as he ran out of breath.
