I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 12: Trading fields for land
Zhou Wanqiu hesitated for a while, then moved forward with the basket, "Auntie, these are steamed buns freshly baked, they are still hot."

Li Xiuju felt panicked when she thought about her husband, but looking at the innocent Zhou Wanqiu, she couldn't remain cold-hearted.

She glanced hastily, took it, and handed it to Chen Cuiping, "Cuiping, there are so many people in your family, and I can't take your buns. You can keep them for the children."

Zhou Wanqiu stood alone, not daring to say a word.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Chen Cuiping stepped forward affectionately, forced it into her hand, and said with a flattering smile: "Good sister-in-law, just accept it. The family does not speak the same language, so the eldest brother comes first The family has spent so much money every year, how can you still have any money on hand?"

Li Xiuju turned her face away and her tone became colder, "There is no money these days, so we can survive by digging some wild vegetables and fruits without you and Zhou Wenwu having to worry about it."

Chen Cuiping snorted, "These two children are growing up, especially Baoyu. You see, Baoyu is as skinny as a monkey, while the children of his generation are as strong as cows. You are not doing this for yourself, but also for your children." Think about it? We old people can just go hungry for a few meals, but our children can’t stand it.”

Baoyu knew that Chen Cuiping was threatening herself again, so she hurriedly walked to his mother and said, "Auntie, I'm fine. I've eaten quite well these days, and I'm full of strength."

Li Xiuju looked at Baoyu's fake smile of satisfaction, and the emotions that had just calmed down surged up again.

She bit her lip tightly, her eyes moist.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cuiping stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, you see how considerate my child is, so just accept it."

If Li Xiuju doesn't accept Chen Cuiping's kind words, they will be spread out in an exaggerated manner in the future, and it will be her fault again.

Neither is it accepted, nor is it not accepted.

Li Xiuju stood there, feeling ashamed, angry and humiliated.

"Baozi, these are such good things, old lady, let's just accept them." Seeing the scene, Zhou Chenyu froze, walked over with a smile, and took the basket, "Thank you Auntie for your kindness, I will accept your buns." .”

When Chen Cuiping entered the yard and saw Zhou Chenyu who was silent, she felt unhappy. Now that Zhou Chenyu had collected his things, she was a little surprised.

She immediately changed her expression and smiled from ear to ear: "That's right. Just accept it when it's time to accept it. Don't be polite."

Li Xiuju grasped the palm of her hand tightly, and even Baoyu's eyes widened. Everyone knew that cannibals are short-tongued and must give up more after taking something.

He had seen the couple's tricks before.

Zhou Baoyu walked to Zhou Chenyu, with a worried look on his face, "Sister, we can't ask for their things. How could they be so kind as to give us food?"

"I still need you to remind me." Zhou Chenyu handed the vegetable basket to Baoyu. Baoyu felt a sense of déjà vu when he heard his sister's confident tone.

Isn't this the same trick as that day when dealing with mountains of money?
It turned out to be the case.

The corners of his lowered lips were raised proudly, waiting for a good show.

Zhou Chenyu smiled and turned around, walked up to Chen Cuiping, and flattered her, "Although you are my elder and we are a family, as the old saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Since we have taken your things , then we will do whatever Auntie tells us to do from now on, absolutely unambiguously."

"Really?" Chen Cuiping's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she fell in love with Zhou Chenyu more and more, "Sister-in-law, Chen Yu is such a sensible and good boy, and you taught him so well. If we in Late Autumn are like you, Chen Yu That would be great." "Auntie, how embarrassed are you when you praise someone like this?" Zhou Chenyu smiled slyly, "Auntie, no one has ever praised me like this since I was a kid."

Chen Cuiping looked at Zhou Chenyu's smile and nodded happily, feeling proud in her heart: As expected, they come from the same family, and they are all equally stupid.

"Since Auntie said that, Chen Yu should behave better. Whatever you want me to do from now on, I will do it." Zhou Chenyu winked and hid his thoughts: "Even if it happens now, I will do it .”

This was what Chen Cuiping was waiting for. After hearing this, she began to change her face and hesitated: "Chen Yu, I do have an unkind request, and I don't know if you are willing to agree to it."

Li Xiuju looked over angrily, knowing that this woman would not give them buns for free.

Zhou Chenyu's eyes flashed with intelligence, he opened the basket, took a steamed bun, broke it into half, and stuffed it into Chen Cuiping's hand, "Auntie, eat a steamed bun first. If anything happens, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Chen Cuiping smelled the meaty steamed stuffed buns, feeling distressed that her own family didn't have enough to eat, but she had to give them to them.

She swallowed it in big gulps and took back as much as she could, "Eat it too, it's delicious."

Zhou Chenyu watched her take it into her mouth and handed the remaining buns to the others with confidence, "Eat it while it's hot. Don't let Auntie's kindness go to waste?"

Li Xiuju didn't move the bun and stared straight at Chen Cuiping, wondering what she wanted to do!
Although Zhou Baoyu didn't know what kind of medicine his sister was selling in her gourd, her uncle and aunt took advantage of their family far more than just a few steamed buns.

What's wrong with eating one of their steamed buns? !

snort!
eat it!
"Auntie, tell me, what do you want us to do?" Zhou Chenyu sat in front of Chen Cuiping and handed a bowl of water to her. He wanted to be as considerate as possible.

Chen Cuiping devoured the buns and almost choked to death. She grabbed the bowl, drank it down, wiped her mouth clean, and couldn't wait to speak:
"Sister-in-law, Chen Yu, you also know that our family has two sons and one daughter. If only this were the past, but the two eldest sons got married and gave birth to children, so they had extra mouths to eat for no reason. When there are more people, The food we ordered at home is not enough.”

"I don't see that you are developing the land in the back house, which must be turned into a vegetable garden. What I mean is, can you share some of it with our family, ah?"

Zhou Chenyu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and the fox's tail was finally exposed.

They came to ask sooner or later. They worked hard all day to clean up the grass, and people showed up in a hurry.

This woman really knows how to pick her time.

Not only is he a greedy master, he is also lazy.

"You!" Li Xiuju clenched her buns after hearing this, feeling suffocated in her chest. "The land in the back room was mined, but it's only [-]% of the land. We can't even grow some sweet potatoes and green vegetables, so there's nothing left for you." !”

Zhou Baoyu sat next to Li Xiuju and softly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, sister will definitely find a way."

"Sister-in-law, you have three mouths, which is more than enough." Chen Cuiping knew that Li Xiuju couldn't deceive her, so she pretended not to hear her words and put all her hopes on Zhou Chenyu. She asked shamelessly, "Chen Yu, I also know that it's not easy for you. , you gave us the land to plant, if you need help in the future, just let us know."
