farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 96

After Xiu Niang said these words, the atmosphere in the courtyard that had just recovered immediately fell into embarrassment again. Several women secretly talked privately in low voices. People are not sure, but after Xiu Niang's question, others have already decided that this matter is true in all likelihood.

For a moment, Zhang Xihua felt several eyes falling on her intentionally or unintentionally, she lowered her head to hide the irritability in her eyes.

Originally, it was thanks to Xu Huai's blessing that the family got this kind of benefit. In this matter, the He family already owed Xu Huai a favor. The county government stipulated that farmers could not replace grain taxes with money. It was already a risk, how could the He family have the nerve to ask him to help others?
Besides, it doesn't matter if there are one or two special cases in the village. If there are more special cases, the matter will be more likely to be exposed, and a few servants will be implicated.
Zhang Xihua suppressed the anger in her heart, looked up at Li Xiuniang and asked with a smile, "How could I not know about such a good thing at home? Xiuniang, where did you get the news from?"

Although there was a smile on her face, and Zhang Xihua's voice was very gentle, Li Xiuniang could feel that she was talking like a knife, Li Xiuniang smiled uncomfortably, "Where is there any news, I guess I made a mistake gone."

The reason why Xiuniang said this was purely petty, she felt that He Sheng's family didn't think about her own family when something good happened, and when she complained in her heart, she had no reason to speak.

Second Aunt He snorted, and reprimanded: "How dare you say something that you made a mistake?"

Being sternly asked by her mother-in-law, Xiuniang was also furious. After all, in front of several women, she made herself very uncomfortable, and besides, she was still pregnant with the lifeblood of their old He family, so Xiuniang was anxious. Eye sockets are red.

Zhang Xihua turned a blind eye, she really didn't have the good intentions to smooth things over for Xiu Niang, she just smiled and said: "Xiu Niang must have messed up, if someone really has such a good thing, I can't help but want to follow suit."

Although he didn't smooth things over, he said that it's okay to brighten up the atmosphere. Seeing Zhang Xihua's expression, others had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't get any actual evidence.

After returning from Uncle He's weary home, Zhang Xihua couldn't get up, thinking about troubles all the time, life is hard enough, if the world is chaotic again, is there any way out?
At this time, I only hope that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible.

Uncovering the lid of the rice tank, Zhang Xihua couldn't help reducing the portion when cooking dinner for the family. The amount of staple food was less, so she spent some time on non-staple food, so she went to the corner of the yard to pick a pumpkin the size of a washbasin .

At this time, the pumpkins are already ripe. The He family’s pumpkin tastes pink. She cuts it open and digs out the seeds. After removing the skin, cut it into pieces. Some of it is used for cooking, and the other half is made into pumpkin porridge. .With this pumpkin on top, half of the usual food is saved for dinner.

In the evening, when the family had finished eating and packed up and prepared to go to bed, there was a sudden drizzle of rain in the sky. The sound of the thin raindrops was like the sound of heaven. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's finally raining."

The whole family rushed to the open yard to feel the belated rain.

Zhang Xihua stood outside for a while, when He Zeng saw her, she said with a smile on her face: "Don't join in the fun here, it's not good to get wet in the rain, hurry back to the house and hide."

Zhang Xihua had no choice but to go under the eaves and watched her father-in-law, sister-in-law and husband drenched in the rain for a long time in the yard. They waited for the rain to get heavier before they went back to the house and prepared to wash again.

He Dashuan smiled and said, "I guess the rain will last overnight, and the sweet potatoes and wheat grown in the field don't need to be watered." Saved this effort, the burden on his body was relieved a lot.

Although He Sheng's expression was not so obvious, seeing his relaxed expression also revealed the joy in his heart.

The rain did not disappoint. It continued to fall all night. When they went to bed at night, the temperature was pleasant. He Sheng and his wife had a good night's dream until dawn.

Waking up early in the morning, even the smell of humidity wafted in the air. He Dashuan and He Sheng didn't eat breakfast, and went to the newly planted fields with hoes on their shoulders. Then help up.

The female family members of the He family all went to the fields close to home. The fields have been tidied up, and they only need to sprinkle some seeds. There are two fields in total. The family decided to plant radishes and cabbage separately.

These two vegetables are easy to take care of, and most of them are used to feed pigs if they can't finish them.

How chaotic it is outside has not had much impact on this small rural place for the time being, and every family in Daliang Town is still living a peaceful life.
