Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 70 Lin Da beat her again?

"mother!"

"Son, listen to what mother told you, your wife can't give birth to a child, so we should use the waste and let her go to the capital to earn money for you to marry a concubine!"

Aunt Widow's voice came from the room, Han Xi'er was startled, she stood up abruptly.

"The head of the family wants to marry a concubine?"

Although in the wicked feudal society, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and Han Xier's father had one wife and two concubines, but she still couldn't bear it in her heart!

She couldn't tolerate her husband having three wives and four concubines, and she couldn't tolerate her husband taking concubines!

Not even one!

"No! I don't agree!"

Han Xi'er's voice was mixed with crying, and the tears could not stop sliding down her cheeks.

"A woman's life is very short, don't waste all the little time on so-called love and love, you have to live for yourself!"

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea calmly and said lightly.

"Live for yourself?"

Han Xi'er nodded half-understood, she felt as if something had been opened in her mind, and she became sober all of a sudden.

At this time, the door opened.

"You idiot, this is beyond your control!"

Aunt Widow cursed at Lin Xiao, then turned around and came to Lin Xiao.

"Xiao Linzi, my good-for-nothing son says he can't live without his wife. Look, can he go to the capital together? The two of them work together and only get one wage. Look..."

"I'm really sorry, Auntie, only one person can go to the capital city, there is really no way to arrange for two people, or... I'll go to another auntie's place to ask?"

"Don't! Other families are full of idiots who don't know how to read, how can our Xi'er be smart? Xi'er will go alone, and no one will follow, so it's settled!"

The widow slapped her thigh, and said firmly.

"Success! That's it for now!"

Lin Xiao took out a tael of silver from his bosom and handed it to the widowed aunt, saying:

"Auntie, this is a tael of silver, you accept it!"

"Xiao Linzi, look at you, why are you so polite to your aunt?"

Having said that, the widow quickly put it into her bosom as soon as she received the money.

"Auntie, I have something to do and I'll leave first. We will leave for the capital on time in half a month. It's just my sister-in-law's injury... find a way to get rid of it, otherwise it will affect the work."

"That's for sure, that's for sure."

The widow readily agreed.

After leaving the widow's house, Lin Xiao felt very happy.

There is a high probability that Han Xi'er will not be abused by the widowed mother and son, and may be confessed by the widowed mother and son as if they are treasures.

From ancient times to the present, all women with strong abilities are usually valued by their in-laws.

And the probability of being favored by her in-laws is quite high!
Lin Xiao walked briskly to Mazi's house.

Mazi, who had just collected the rock salt and coarse salt, was about to take a break when he saw Lin Xiao standing at the door with a confused expression on his face:

"Xiao Linzi?"

"How's the salt harvest going?"

Lin Xiao asked Mazi with a smile.

"Come in and have a cup of hot tea, let's talk while drinking."

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, Mazi immediately welcomed Lin Xiao to the main room.

"I received nearly [-] catties of coarse rock salt today."

After sitting down, Mazi poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Xiao, and then replied to Lin Xiao with a smile.

"Well, you've worked hard, but the quantity is still not much, you have to double the charge, otherwise you won't be able to deliver the goods as scheduled."

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and put it on the table.

"Almost every family in our village is doing it. After exhausting themselves, we can only collect a hundred and eighty catties of rock salt and coarse salt. I think it's better for other villages to follow suit?"

When Mazi heard Lin Xiao's words, he was overjoyed and said quickly.

Lin Xiao heard the words, thought about it, and thought it was a good way. If so, it would save a lot of time.

"Well, do as you say!"

Lin Xiao agreed.

Mazi nodded, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Do you know, as soon as the news comes out, they will definitely take this matter to heart, and then everyone will work hard, and the salt we will receive will only be more or less!"

Mazi continued.

"Well, the funds..."

Lin Xiaogang wanted to say that there is no need to worry about funds, she has money here.

But was interrupted by Mazi:

"Don't worry about the funds. The villagers sold all the salt they took away, and the money has been returned. Don't believe it, just look."

Mazi handed the ledger to Lin Xiao to read.

All the circles and crosses are drawn on it, which made Lin Xiao dizzy.

However, although these circles and crosses seem to have no logic at all, but after careful scrutiny, one can clearly understand what is being talked about here.

Circles represent incoming payments and crosses represent outgoings.

"Did you make this yourself? It's not bad, it's simple and clear, and you can understand it at a glance."

Lin Xiao praised sincerely.

"Hey, how can I be so good, Xi'er taught me."

Mazi scratched his head in embarrassment, his dark skin turned slightly red.

"It's so intimate, tell me quickly, what's wrong with you and Mrs. Lin's mother-in-law?"

Mazi was a little embarrassed to be teased, but Lin Xiao did not intend to let Mazi go, and directly brought the topic to the relationship between Mazi and Han Xier:

"She is often beaten by Lin Da, does it have something to do with you?"

"Da Lin hit her again?"

Mazi's face darkened, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"you……"

Lin Xiao saw the hatred in Mazi's eyes, and the answer he guessed in his heart was affirmed:

"you like her?"

"I"

Mazi opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice:

"Master, are there any guests?"

A familiar voice sounded from beside him, making Mazi, who was already a little flustered, quiet down immediately.

Asako turned his head and saw his wife walking in from the courtyard carrying a bamboo basket.

Mazi's wife is Lu Xiang, and her natal family is in Lujia Village.

She looks ordinary, but the tranquility exuding from her body is somewhat similar to Han Xi'er.

"Well, Xiao Linzi came over and said something to me."

Mazi quickly responded.

"Well, you guys talk, I'll go get busy."

Lu Xiang smiled and nodded at Lin Xiao, then went to the back room with the basket on her shoulders.

"Da Lin hit her again?"

As soon as Lu Xiang left, Mazi couldn't wait to ask again.

His tone was full of anger, as if he had become Lin Da's enemy now.

"Well, the beating was pretty hard."

As soon as Lin Xiao thought of the shocking injury on Han Xier's face, she panicked in her heart.

How could a well-behaved rich lady be reduced to such a state? !
It's really sad!hateful!Alas!
After getting Lin Xiao's definite answer, Mazi stood up with a hush, and ran to the kitchen with a murderous look on his face.

"and many more!"

Lin Xiao quickly chased after him, reached out and grabbed his arm:
"Pocket! Don't be impulsive!"
