After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 2 Three Fires

Being disturbed by them, and with the promise first, Duan Silang obediently went to the study to read.

Staying alone in an empty room is the most peace of mind. Although Su Nanzhen dislikes everything here, she has to sleep well, and she will have to cheer up to deal with the three troublesome women tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, she was called up by Sun Miaoying before dawn, with an extra picking hook in her hand, the magnolias were blooming, and the flower farmers had to get up early in the morning to pick those bracts from green to brown and just falling off, the flowers were just about to open but not yet Open flower buds.

She still remembered, but Sun Miaoying forgot to tell her this. Su Nanzhen looked at her back and said that she was going back to prepare, and she could guess with her toes that she wanted to go back to sleep.

Su Nanzhen waited on the spot for a while, guessing that she was in a daze of sleep, so she went outside her room door and asked a few words loudly, and got a vague reply, then hooked the corner of her mouth and went to work.

Duan Silang's house is at the end of the village, and not far away is the flower garden. Magnolias are planted on the edge of the flower garden, which is divided into three parts, one for peonies, one for orchids, and one for chrysanthemums.

After the magnolia is harvested, peonies should arrive, and the flowering period of orchids is a little later, which is similar to the flowering period of chrysanthemums. They are harvested in three seasons a year, and the selling price is barely enough for Duan's family to chew.

It is far from enough for Duan Silang to take the imperial examination with their family background, but Duan Silang is used to management and has the reputation of a scholar, so he just made himself the hope of the whole village and coaxed the village to willingly pay for him. Studying, coupled with the help of her dowry, finally embarked on an official career.

Su Nanzhen looked at the aloof Magnolia, imagined it to be like Duan Silang, and beat her hard.

After the mother was divorced, only 500 taels of red makeup was discounted for Shili Hongzhuang, and the money was robbed not long after she left the Xiao family, and she was exiled to Mingyue Nunnery, where she gave birth to herself, and lived there for 13 years.

In 13 years, the day she returned home in her last life, she only knew that her mother had hidden 100 taels of silver notes and a valuable jade pendant in her hands. For some reason, Duan Silang knew about this matter, and he missed it. In this life, he would never want to get involved her anything.

"What a crime, what a crime, my magnolia flower..." Mrs. Duan was worried, and secretly followed. Seeing this scene, she burst into tears, and the petals fell into her mouth. With a bah, she roared, "Stop, You prodigal bitch!"

"I haven't finished picking it yet." Su Nanzhen smiled and said casually.

She actually wanted to harm the magnolia flower, and Mrs. Duan was so angry that she almost lost her breath, and forced herself to grab the hook to pick it. Unexpectedly, her strength was so strong, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let go."

"I'll do this little work." Su Nanzhen clenched the picking hook with a smile.

"I'm telling you to let go." Mrs. Duan snarled with her face completely darkened.

"Oh." Su Nanzhen let go of her hand immediately, and seeing Mrs. Duan fell on all fours, she immediately lowered her head, looking pitiful that she didn't dare to move for something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

Mrs. Duan felt tightness in her chest, rolled her eyes, and passed out.

How to do?
She is still young and has little strength, so this person can only drag her home halfway.

It's a pity that when we walked halfway, we met enthusiastic villagers, so Su Nanzhen had no choice but to let go and watch Seventh Aunt carry him home.

"What's going on? Why did mother faint?" Sun Miaoying woke up immediately when she heard Seventh Aunt's shout, put on some clothes and came out, seeing the two of them returning home empty-handed, secretly yelled.

"Flower, flower..." Mrs. Duan was still thinking about the magnolia flower in a daze.

"Mother, I'll go pick it right now, don't worry." Sun Miaoying thought about atonement, and gave Su Nanzhen a look, and asked her to be responsible for preparing the family's breakfast.

Su Nanzhen looked at Sun Miaoying's back meaningfully. She was so heartbroken in her last life. She wanted to know how big the fire would be to make herself feel warm. She saw Duan Yuying coming out from the corner of her eye, so she ignored Mrs. Duan and turned to go to the kitchen.

One fire, two fires, three fires...

The fire is burning hotter and hotter, sparks are flying everywhere, and the straws that start the fire are connected to the firewood behind. Although there are not many firewood, it is more than enough to burn a kitchen.

Lady Duan in the room finally recovered her breath, her buttocks were still sitting still, her eyelids twitched suddenly, "Did you smell it? It seems to smell something."

"Ah—the kitchen is on fire." Duan Yuying sniffed hard, coughed violently, turned around, and was so frightened that her face paled.

"Go to fight the fire, hurry to fight the fire." Mrs. Duan stood up trembling, looked at the fire in the kitchen, and pushed her daughter hard, "Call someone."

I saw Su Nanzhen holding a large bundle of straw, patting here, patting there, not to mention that the fire didn't go out, but it was getting hotter and hotter. With her back against the sea of ​​fire, she turned her head and said to herself, "It's okay", as if seeing The evil spirit from hell, Mrs. Duan pinches her hard, she can't fall down!

"You take this, I'll fetch water." Su Nanzhen saw that the straw had already burned, and stuffed the straw into Duan Yuying's hand, then turned around and ran to the water tank.

The water ladle close at hand pretended not to be seen, and pretended to look for it for a while, picked up the bucket containing pig food, and stretched it into the water tank without hesitation.

Duan Yuying over there saw that the fire was about to burn her, she screamed and threw the straw, and added another fire to the kitchen, and the outside was also on fire. Lady Duan looked at her and then at Su Nanzhen, wailing and scratching sky.

And Sun Miaoying went to the flower garden to have a look, picked up a few magnolia flowers, and then her heart skipped a beat when she heard the noise coming from the direction of her home, she picked up the picking hook and ran home quickly.

When she got home, the villagers had rushed to help, but it was too late to rescue the kitchen, so she had to keep the fire from reaching the main house and then go to extinguish the embers.

And Su Nanzhen hid behind Duan Silang with a look of a doormat and carefully explained, "I was worried about my mother. I didn't watch the fire for a while, and the fire suddenly caught fire."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, so the gossip-loving villagers naturally heard it clearly. After the fire was extinguished, the rest was their own family affairs. It was inconvenient for others to take care of them, so they made excuses to leave.

Mrs. Duan went back to the main room with a dark face. Duan Yuying and Duan Silang were there. Even though she was furious, she was still very restrained, but after seeing Su Nanzhen and Sun Miaoying, she couldn't help it anymore and shouted angrily, " Get on your knees!"

Sun Miaoying plopped and knelt down. Erlang died early, she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and her natal family could not go back, so she could only stay in Duan's family with the cheek.

Mrs. Duan is the master of the Duan family, she dare not be disrespectful to her mother-in-law, at least she can't let others find faults.

Su Nanzhen looked at Duan Silang pitifully, "I'm afraid, I miss my mother."

On the surface, Mrs. Duan was in charge of the Duan family, but in fact, except for the imperial examination, it was Duan Silang who made the final decision on other matters. Duan Yuying and Sun Miaoying may not have realized this.

And Su Nanzhen's words successfully reminded Duan Silang that tomorrow is the day to return home, and Mrs. Su must not be aware that Su Nanzhen is unhappy at Duan's house, otherwise he will not be able to get those things.
