Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Yingchun Cousin
I lived in Zuo's house for nearly five days, eating and drinking every day, and traveling around the mountains and rivers. Everyone put aside the work and entertainment at hand, and took advantage of this new year to get together to enjoy life and connect with each other.

It feels like this year's friendship is all here.

"Old lady, I remember that year when I came to your house with my baby to pay New Year's greetings, I happened to meet my cousin Yingchun and her daughter. Two or three years have passed in a blink of an eye. I don't know how their mother and daughter are doing now?"

"Hey, when it comes to Yingchun, it's hard to say. That child is really hard-working!"

When mentioning what happened to Zuo Yingchun, Mrs. Zuo couldn't help but laugh.That is the niece raised under her knees, raised as both a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law.

"Yingchun's husband-in-law died after only half a year. When he left, he left a posthumous child for Yingchun."

"The husband-in-law's family are all tigers and wolves. As soon as Yingchun's husband-in-law died, they rushed to catch Yingchun Niang three times. Fortunately, we have already taken precautions here, and Junmo's friends in Yangzhou are also eager to help, and they have opened up the government. At any rate, the Yingchun Niangs were able to keep their property."

Yang Ruoqing has seen this kind of thing too much. In this world, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. The backbone is dead. There are very few brothers and sisters in the family who can support them. Most of them rush forward to grab the meat.

Therefore, in a family, not only men must be strong, but women must not be too weak.

There was no fluctuation in her heart, but regret and sympathy still appeared on her face.

"Cousin Yingchun's experience is indeed a bit bumpy, so now that she is alone with a pair of children, should she stay in Yangzhou and continue to take care of the business? Or do you have other plans?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The old lady Zuo said: "When the husband-in-law left, the child was only a few months old in the womb, so Jun Mo was invited, as well as her own parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, to help with the business."

"Now that the son is one year old, the business over there has gradually stabilized, and the eldest daughter is also eight or nine years old. She can help her mother take care of her younger brother, and the mother's life has gradually stabilized."

Yang Ruoqing nodded slightly, "It seems that Cousin Yingchun is still very responsible and has not been overwhelmed. She survived this wave and will definitely get better and better in the future, earning a fortune for the children."

Mrs. Zuo said: "It's too difficult for a woman's family to do business outside with two children, and it's far away in Yangzhou. We can't help to keep an eye on them all the time. I'm afraid that the husband's family will be jealous of those industries. idea."

"So what we mean here is that it is best to let Yingchun deal with Yangzhou's property, and go back to Huguang County to buy some field shops or something. A woman's family can securely collect rent and raise two children. It’s enough to support my son to study, why bother to be so tired in Yangzhou alone? Qing’er, don’t you think so?”

It's really hard for Yang Ruoqing to say this.

Because as far as she is concerned, she is a woman and she even went to the capital to show her face and do things, and everything was done vigorously.

Although tired, she is happy and has a sense of value.

But these situations are different when it comes to Zuo Yingchun, because Zuo Yingchun is a widow, and there is no support from her husband's family behind her.

And behind him is the towering tree of the Great General Protecting the Nation.

"Madam, I understand that you feel sorry for Cousin Yingchun who has worked so hard in Yangzhou alone, but you have to ask her own wishes about some things. After all, Yangzhou is a prosperous place, and it is not comparable to the small Huguang County. Children Growing up, studying there, and knowledge in all aspects must be different from our small county, so we have to respect Cousin Yingchun's own opinion, what do you think?"

Mrs. Zuo pondered for a while, then smiled helplessly.

"Young people of your generation all have their own ideas, you are right, let her make up her own mind!"

On the seventh day of their stay, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang planned to say goodbye.

At this time, a visitor came to Zuo Jun Mo's house.

It was none other than the fishwife and her man she met by the Bada Lake.

Women can't speak, but men are normal.

The couple came here. The man just came home these two days. He heard from his family that his son was almost choked to death. Fortunately, he was reminded by a kind person, so the couple brought fresh fish and shrimps to find them to express their thanks.

"Brother Xiaoyu, you are too polite, come in and sit down."

As the host, Zuo Junmo warmly greeted the simple fishermen couple in front of him.

Yang Ruoqing also smiled and said: "If you do that kind of thing, others will remind you, whose children are the treasures of parents. Brother Xiaoyu, come in and drink tea."

Xiaoyu and his wife entered the main room of the Zuo family, saw the courtyard, and the furniture in this room was very formal.

Especially Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang's auras were relatively strong, Xiao Yu didn't dare to talk too much when the two of them were around.

So the two of them found an excuse to go out, leaving the hospitality to Yang Ruoqing, who was the most friendly.

Because she made up her mind to tear a hole in Xiao Yu's body to spy on the truth about Yang Yongxian's fish farming...

Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo came back from a long walk outside, and Yang Ruoqing had sent Xiaoyu and his wife away.

"Leaving so soon? I thought you would leave them here after lunch." Zuo Junmo was quite surprised.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I tried to persuade them to stay, but they missed their children and insisted on going back."

These are all excuses. The real reason is that the fishermen's couple's low self-esteem made them feel embarrassed to eat at the same table with people like Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang.

What's more, they came here to thank them, so it's not good to go back after a meal.

"Qing'er, how did you talk to Xiao Yu?" Luo Fengtang paid more attention to this matter.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and blinked at him: "I am the savior of Xiaoyu's son, and we left five hundred Wen for their family. Xiaoyu and his wife are very grateful to us now. As soon as I opened my mouth, he would accepted."

"Of course, I can't let him take this risk in vain. I asked how much my big cousin paid him every month, and I doubled it."

"Then how much monthly money does your hall brother give them?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing pulled up a stool and sat down, "Speaking of which, it's a bit interesting. My hall brother is digging and shrinking at home, but it's really heroic to do business outside. I'll give Xiao Yu and the others these clam-raising fishermen. The monthly rate is actually one or two taels of silver!"

"Xiao Yu said, my hall brother also specially hired someone from Qing'an County to train Costin, and use Costin to deal with the swans returning from the south. Swans like to eat good mussels deep in the lake, so they can take the belly of swans. A good oyster is in a good oyster, and in a good oyster there are the best pearls."
