Chapter 297 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (end of this article)

 In the winter of the following year, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jingxi.

 Huge promotions, salary increases, favors and pardons for officials, big and small, are celebrated by the whole world.

Li Yuanjin was transferred to the post less than two years ago, so this wave of promotions did not come to him, but his salary increased a lot.

 After finishing his official duties for the day, he happily went home to share the good news with his wife.

Xu Yin moved to Tongxing Fucheng with Erlang and Sanmei this spring.

Erlang is currently studying at Fucheng Academy. According to Master, Erlang is smart and precocious, and he will be ready to try out next spring.

Three sisters still like embroidery, so Xu Yin found her a top embroiderer in the embroidery workshop and began to teach her formal embroidery skills.

In addition to embroidery, Xu Yin would also take her with him when he received the family members of officials, settled accounts, or went out to do errands.

Xu Yin feels that in ancient times, female relatives usually relied on their husbands for everything after they got married. Except for a few cases, it was because their natal families had a weak foundation, which made them lack confidence. More often, it was because the women went out less and had less experience.

　Sincerely, I hope that the considerate and sensible little cotton-padded third sister will live a happy life and not be trapped in the back house even if she gets married in the future.

As for Xu Yin himself, in addition to buying tea mountains, bamboo mountains and surrounding wasteland to grow herbal medicine, he also purchased hundreds of acres of fertile land outside Tongxing Prefecture in the spring of this year to grow high-yield rice and raise rice fish.

 Compared with flour and noodles made from grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, locals prefer rice after all. The popularization of rice-fish symbiosis not only allows rural people to have more dishes on the table, but also increases their income.

This year has entered the third year of planting herbal medicines. Except for ginseng and other herbs that are better as they age, two crops have been harvested.

 The land reclamation victims of Hope Village have been farming with her for two years. Except for the first year when they were still a little hungry, starting from the second year, they had the support of kiln burning as a side job, and they had no worries about food and clothing.

The entire Hope Village was prosperous. Shi Feng, Chen Mancang and others returned to Tongxing Mansion after the plague was lifted. They found that life in their hometown was not as good as in Hope Village. After the family discussed it, they simply sold the fields in their hometown and moved to Hope Village, settled in Hope Village and became the first batch of official residents.

Other victims, some went back, and some, like Shi Feng and others, stayed and became permanent residents of Hope Village, working hard with Xu Yin, and their lives were getting better day by day.

Hope Village is getting bigger day by day. The victims who originally opened up wasteland in the mountains saw that the place was developing so well and joined them one after another.

 Nowadays, Hope Village is no longer the temporary village it was three years ago. Not only is it large in scale and has many households, but its sideline business is also getting better and better.

There are some who are jealous, but when I inquired, it was the wife of the prefect of Tongxing Prefecture who opened it. Who would dare to do something small?

In this way, the "Hope Village Kiln Factory" went from being dark to bright, from a small operation to beginning to take shape. It has become well-known in both Tongxing and Dongxuan Prefectures, and orders are flying to Hope Village like snowflakes.

 The kiln is now in charge of Chen Mancang and Shi Feng. Xu Yin has invested the most in the tea garden in addition to herbal medicines this year.

The tea saplings produced by the system are growing gratifyingly, and the tea gardens are so full of joy that they are loosened and fertilized. They can be harvested this year.

She set a time for picking tea and looked up out of the window. It was getting late, so she put down her account book and went to the kitchen to look at tonight's dishes.

 Li Yuanjin asked the waiter to come back in advance and said he would be home on time for dinner today. She looked at the dishes cooked by the cook, rolled up her sleeves, and decided to add his favorite boiled fish.

 “Sister-in-law is not good!”

 At this time, the third sister ran in in panic:

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle-in-law, they are here again to beat the autumn wind! What should I do, what should I do! How do they know we live here? Didn’t the second brother tell them not to let them know about our new home?”

Xu Yin comforted her: "Don't panic! The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Let's go and see what they have planned!"

Uncle Li's family fled to Nanling Mansion due to drought, where his eldest daughter-in-law's sister-in-law's family lived.

But they are not close relatives after all, and Uncle Li's family are not polite people. They fled with nothing, eating and living in other people's houses and always trying to take advantage of the chickens, ducks, eggs, condiments in the kitchen, and the porcelain cups and plates for entertaining guests in the hall. All the melons, fruits and snacks were stolen by Mrs. Li. Once, he was caught by his master and the family was kicked out after a quarrel with him.

　　The family worked part-time in Nanling Prefecture to make ends meet. The men carried goods at the dock, and the women washed clothes for others. After paying for the rent, they didn’t even have enough to eat.

 After hearing that the disaster in my hometown had been lifted, I didn’t want to stay any longer and spent two months walking back to Lijiacun.

But the home after the disaster is no better than the rented house in Nanling Prefecture. The crops in the fields can only be eaten after at least half a year of planting.

No, I heard that the eldest nephew has become a high official and comes to the government office every now and then to complain to Li Yuanjin. He hopes that the eldest nephew will give them one and a half taels of silver if he misses it.

For the sake of his relatives, Li Yuanjin gave them a few bags of grain to survive the lean days, and then stopped caring about them when the crop fields were replanted.

 If he had no money, he gave all his salary to his wife.

His fingers are leaking, but the money will not drop, because he has no money at all.

Uncle Li's eyes rolled, she made a wrong idea and found a beautiful young lady for her eldest nephew.

Who among the officials doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?

She firmly believed that as long as Li Yuanjin took a concubine and let the concubine win over his heart, wouldn't the benefits be too small for her own family?

So, she went back to her natal family and brought her niece with her under the banner of "don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields".

 The two nieces from her mother's family look nothing alike. The eldest niece is Xiaojiabiyu, and the younger niece is plump.

Uncle Li’s little calculations were ringing in her mind. On the way here, she told her two nieces:

"Xiuqin, you are delicate and delicate. You should learn from the city girls and speak more softly. When the old man works in the government office, you will serve him by his side, pour tea, pour water, grind ink, hold lamps... There is a well-educated man. What's the word called? Yes! It's called Hongxiu Tianxiang! It's sure to win Da Lang's heart!"

"Xiufen, your **** is so easy to give birth to. As soon as you enter the house, stay at home and try to hold three of them in one year. You can get ahead of that annoying stinky **** and spread the branches of the second son's family. As long as the eldest son has a son, you can still have children." Do you think about that **** **** all day long?"

"From now on, the whole second house will belong to you and the two sisters. They need money and money, and they need food and food. Is my aunt good to you? When you get rich, you must think of your aunt!"

The two sisters were fascinated by the rich pie painted by their aunt, and they rushed to express their opinions:

“Don’t worry, aunt! We will remember it!”

"Aunt, we will never forget your kindness to our sisters! When the time comes, we will take you, aunt, to our home, and you will be the boss of this house!" Upon hearing the two nieces' promises to please, Mrs. Li said, He nodded with satisfaction, then glared viciously at the closed courtyard door, stepped forward and patted the door:

"Dalang! Dalang! I am your auntie! My auntie has come all the way, why are you shutting me out? This is the way your wife treats guests, Dalang. It is totally unreasonable!"

"Yo? Auntie? Didn't you just come here not long ago? Why are you here again?"

Li Yuanjin’s surprised voice came from behind.

“Dalang!” Mrs. Li turned around and saw that it was him. She enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce her niece to him, “This is Xiuqin, this is Xiufen, they are me…”

"Oh, you heard that my wife is picking on the maids, so you brought someone here to check her out, right? But I have to be fair, the two people you brought are not as good as what my wife brought here a few days ago. The maid I bought from the dental shop is strong. Look at this body, she can’t carry a bucket of water, right? And this one is obviously very good at eating. I’m afraid my family can’t afford it..."

Uncle Li only realized after listening to this. Are her two nieces being looked down upon? He fell back in anger.

 “Pfft…”

Xu Yin didn't know when she opened the door and came out. She leaned against the courtyard door and smiled as she watched the hunky man talking nonsense.

 “Lady!”

Li Yuanjin walked up to her in a few steps, took out a small bundle from his arms and stuffed it into her hand: "Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to buy some servants to raise fish in the village? Well, the salary has increased! Give it all to my wife. Buy someone to use!”

He paused and then said in a voice that seemed to be deliberately lowered but just enough for Aunt Li to hear clearly:

"Madam, it's better not to get the guy my aunt brought here. At first glance, he doesn't look like someone who does rough work. The thin one looks like he's not as capable as Third Sister, and the fat one is probably very good at eating. I bought it. It’s not cost-effective to have to support them! If you sell it to a dental store, you might have to pay back the price..."

"Li Dalang! You! You! You!" Mrs. Li was so angry that her face was livid and her whole body was shaking. She was speechless as she pointed at him, "What the **** are you talking about! When did I, I, say that it was for you people today?" , I obviously..."

Her two nieces were equally furious:

“Aunt, you have to make the decision for our sisters...”

"Making the decision? What decision?" Li Yuanjin raised an eyebrow, interrupting their crying, "Didn't the aunt bring you here just to sell you to my family? I also said that because she is my aunt, she will suffer a loss. Just suffer a loss. I'll buy you two for ten taels per person, and then go to the village to raise fish. You know how to raise fish, right? Why are you crying! Are you able or not? If you can't, you can only run errands and do odd jobs. If it doesn't work, you can resell it another day. Yaxing…”

 “Woo woo woo…”

 “嘤嘤嘤…”

The sisters almost fainted from crying and ran out of the alley covering their faces.

Uncle Li was so angry that she stamped her feet and chased after her: "Xiuqin, Xiufen, listen to what my aunt said..."

"Pfft..." Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh, "You're really in trouble!"

Li Yuanjin spread his hands helplessly: "I can't do it without damaging it! Who made my wife's heart focus on the farm, tea garden, and medicine field? If I don't act like a villain and reject my uncle's thoughts, I will be forced into our house by her later. If I don’t tell you that I’m disgusted, my family will be in chaos from now on, and there will never be peace again.”

"How could it be!" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile, "When the time comes, you should hug him on both sides until you feel comfortable."

 “Madam.” Li Yuanjin suddenly said seriously.

Xu Yin slowly lowered her smile and looked steadily into his dark and deep eyes.

He approached her and raised his hand to break off a sprouting willow branch by the roadside: "I, Li Yuanjin, swear in the name of heaven and earth that since we got married, Yin Mei is the only one in my heart. I will never take a concubine or be disloyal in my life. Breaking this oath will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

 After saying that, he broke the wicker in his hand with a "pop" sound and made an oath!

 Xu Yin let out a sigh: "I just believe you, why are you swearing so solemnly?"

If a man really wants to change his mind, won’t he change his mind after taking an oath?

“I just want to tell my wife that I don’t know how to take a concubine, and I won’t do it in this life, so I’ll just stay with my wife.”

 “Why don’t you watch over the child?” Xu Yin looked at him with a smile.

His heart skipped a few beats because of the look in her eyes that was mixed with anger and joy. He took her hand and walked into the courtyard. He closed the door politely and elegantly to prevent the curious peeps from the neighbors.

 The movements that followed were extremely fast, like a brown bear that had been hungry all winter, smelling the smell of its favorite honey, and couldn't wait to pick her up and walk quickly to the bedroom.

 “Li Yuanjin! You bastard! It’s not dark yet!”

 “It’s getting dark soon.”

　　　…”

Does it really matter whether it's completely dark or not?

 Afterwards, he leaned on the bedside with a satisfied look on his face, a smile on his face:

 “Madam, my husband is here to help you.”

　　　…”

“You said it’s not enough to take care of you, but we have to take care of the child. But we don’t have children, so we practice hard for my husband and work hard to create a man. Are you satisfied, madam?”

　　　…”

 I just want to bite him!

In this life, she and this bear...ah, this man was bound together, and they were teased by him every two days until they couldn't laugh or cry.

Thousands of fertile fields can only provide three meals a day, and thousands of mansions can only sleep on couches three feet wide.

 For the rest of my life, join hands with your beloved, and live in peace and stability together for the rest of your life.
