Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 511 Fiefdom (4)
Kang Bo was shocked, and stepped forward to help him, but Wu Ping knelt and refused to get up, and said with a mournful face: "The little one can't get up, and the little one is guilty. The grain seeds on our farm were originally stored in the cellar of my house. Yesterday, my baby was greedy." Playing, while we were not paying attention, we threw the firecrackers into the cellar, and the result...the result..."

He couldn't go on, he looked very remorseful, and before Kang Bo and the others could ask, he said again: "The little one has already tied up the baby, and if he wants to kill or cut him up, he will obey Madam's orders, and the villain will never say anything!"

At this time, a yellow-faced woman outside the courtyard led two little babies in. One was about ten years old, a boy with gourd hair and a pigtail, and the other was also a boy, about six or seven years old. .

The two of them were brought in by the yellow-faced woman by the ear, and it must have hurt. The tears and snot of the two babies were all over their faces.

The woman carried the baby, walked straight to her husband, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Forgive me, Ma'am, my child is young and ignorant, and he burned the grain seeds of the people in the village. Now I have brought the two bastards, and let Madam deal with it!"

What the couple said was surprisingly consistent. Kneeling together in front of Mu Xiang, plus two dirty boys, this scene was strange no matter how you looked at it.

When Kang Bo saw that Mu Xiang was silent, he thought she was angry, so he hurriedly persuaded the family, "Get up first and talk later. Madam is kind-hearted and magnanimous, but you have already made a mistake, and you are still crying here, what's wrong with you?" !"

Kang Bo's scolding obviously had an effect, Wu Ping stopped crying, and tugged on his wife's sleeve, signaling her to shut up too.

Several elderly grandmas in the yard saw their family being so pitiful, and couldn't bear it, so they stepped forward to intercede.

"Ma'am, it's inevitable that the little one is naughty. Last winter, the monkeys set fire to the straw pile in our village. If it wasn't for the timely rescue, it would have caused a catastrophe!"

"Yeah, it's all burned now, so I should think about how to remedy it. Seeing that spring plowing is coming, this is the most important thing."

"That's right, it's pitiful to see this family!"

Lin Hou stood up at this moment and saluted Mu Xiang, "Madam, half of our village's grain can be given to Wu Zhuang, and the rest can be given to Wu Zhuang himself as a punishment!"

Mu Xiang looked up at Lin Hou when she heard Lin Hou say that they would be divided into half. It was not difficult to see how difficult it was for him to make this decision.

But as Kang Bo said, they are all tenants of the Prince's Mansion, so there is no reason not to help each other.

After Lin Hou finished speaking, Wu Ping had a bitter look on his face, as if he had made a lot of determination, and his teeth were about to be crushed, "Okay, in order to give an explanation to Master Zhuang, even if I sell everything I want, We need to get the money for grain seeding.”

Seeing what he said, the yellow-faced woman grabbed Wu Ping's skirt like crazy, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

"Are you crazy? Our family has no money, only one pot, what are you going to sell? Are you going to sell our orphans and widows? You are heartless, if you dare to touch my baby, I will be with you." You work hard!"

Wu's voice was hoarse, his voice was like weeping blood, wishing he could yell Wu Ping to death.

She was crying like crazy, and the two boys were crying too. This scene was as miserable as it could be.

Mu Xiang kept silent, she felt vaguely strange.

Ordinarily, life in Pu Shanzhuang is not bad, just look at the clothes of the villagers, but the four people from Wuzhuang have ragged clothes, and the two children don't even have a pair of shoes.

Even pale and emaciated, like malnutrition.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xiang felt that this matter should be clarified before she could make a decision, and said: "You guys go and eat some food first, don't worry too much about the grain, if it's just negligence, the loss will be considered by Madam. "

Kang Bo was overjoyed, and urged: "Ma'am, thank you for your kindness. Hurry up and thank Madam. There is some food that has just been delivered over there. Hurry up and eat some!"

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am," Mrs. Wu took the two children, kowtowed to Mu Xiang, and thanked Mu Xiang again.Surviving a desperate situation and still having food to eat, for them, it was like climbing from hell to heaven.

His wife and children can be calm, but Wu Ping can't. This matter is his negligence, his fault, no matter what, he can't forgive himself, if he doesn't think about having two sons, he would like to throw himself into the river, it's better than seeing him every day The desperate faces of the people in the village.

Caiyun and the others have been paying attention to the conversation here, seeing them coming over and taking out their bowls and chopsticks, two villagers sent simple steamed rice with bacon on top, although it is not a good dish, but for Wu For the family, it is already a delicacy.

The family of four, as soon as they sat down, two boys, one big and one small, eagerly took their own bowls. They couldn't wait to eat with a spoon, so they directly used chopsticks to poke rice into the bowl.

Wu Shi was too embarrassed to do it, but when he smelled the aroma of salted meat and rice, his saliva was about to flow out, so he couldn't help it.

Only Wu Ping was the calmest, always reminding them to eat slowly so as not to upset Wu Zhuang.

Mu Xiang looked away from them, only to see Lin Hou's sad face.

Kang Bo sighed, "Create a crime, make a crime!"

Mu Xiang looked at the two of them, and said calmly, "What's the matter? Why do the two neighboring villages live so differently?"

Kang Bo told Lin Hou that he lived in the village and knew the situation here best.

Lin Hou sighed, and then said: "The villain shouldn't have said this. You asked, and the villain had to say it."

Lin Hou is an out-and-out farmer, and he doesn't know how to beat around the bush when he speaks. He has said a lot in a long way, and the specific meaning is this.

The days of Wuzhuang were good in the past.There is a river beside the village, irrigation of farmland, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn are not a problem.

But just three years ago, the upper reaches of the river, about [-] mu of land, was conferred by the emperor to the Ninth Princess, also known as Princess Tangning.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but whenever it was time for irrigation, the servants of the princess mansion would go upstream to intercept the river and divert the water to their fields.

Originally, the flow of the river was not large, so they cut another section, and they didn't give it to Wuzhuang at all.

For this matter, they had fought with the people from the princess mansion, and even Kang Bo was invited here, but the nine princesses have always been domineering.As a housekeeper, he couldn't even meet the princess, let alone argue with the princess.
