farmer's wife

Chapter 51 Rumors
After drinking some tea and talking for a while, Fu Yan added some needlework and followed Xiao Lie out of the shop.

After half an hour of effort, there were no fewer pedestrians on the street.

There were people coming and going at the stalls in the market, and there were juggling performances on the street, and everyone was dazzled to watch.

Fu Yan thinks that in the past 12 years, today is a free and lively festival.

You don't have to worry about the masters, wives, and young ladies who control your wealth and life, and you don't need to be on duty.

She can watch whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants.

Fu Yan led Xiao Jian, eating and drinking happily all the way.

But Xiao Lie suffered a lot, he followed them closely to protect them, and even had to act as a human support, carrying miscellaneous gadgets for them.

It's just that he deserves this support as much as he likes it.

The happy time seems to always pass quickly, and the sky dims before you know it.

The lanterns are lit one by one, softening the noisy streets and crowds during the day.

Fu Yan originally planned that the family would go to a big restaurant to have a big meal in the evening to celebrate the festive season.

But in the afternoon, I had a good time, looking around, buying and buying along the way, Fu Yan and Xiao Jian's mouths almost never stopped.And the rest of the food for the two of them was taken by Xiao Lie.

The three touched their full bellies, looked at each other and laughed.

Fu Yan: "Okay, since we can't eat it all, let's go home! We'll eat it next time!"

She bent down again and teased Xiao Jian: "Poor us, Ah Jian, we have to go back to eat the meal cooked by my sister-in-law."

Xiao Jian hurriedly comforted her: "Sister-in-law cooks are delicious! Ah Jian likes the meals made by sister-in-law."

After thinking for a while, he added loudly: "There are still snacks!"

"Hahaha, good! Sister-in-law Ming'er will also leave a portion for Ah Jian when she makes snacks."

Xiao Jian nodded happily.

In the afternoon, he heard his sister-in-law say that he was going to make food for the little girl of the cloth farm, and for some reason, he felt a little depressed.

Now that I heard that I have my share, the depression in my heart has disappeared without a trace.

Sure enough, sister-in-law still cares about him the most!

Fortunately, these are all small thoughts in his heart and he didn't say them out, otherwise Xiao Lie would have to argue with him about who Ah Yan cares about the most!
Taking advantage of the last twilight, Xiao Lie picked up the things in his hands, Fu Yan led Xiao Jian, and went out of the city and back to the village together.

There are many villagers who come to the market today, and by this time, I have also met many villagers who have returned to the village.Everyone walked back to the village together along the way, and they could chat a few words about what they saw and heard today, which was very lively.

Wang's second wife walked in the crowd with her little grandson, talking to Sun Changfu's wife, looking at Xiao Lie's family in the front right from time to time.

You pushed and shoved each other, but Wang's second wife finally caught up to the first few steps, raised her voice and shouted to Xiao Lie: "Boy Lie, I heard that the Xiao family property was divided three years ago, and your second wife didn't get much?"

Fu Yan frowned and looked at Mrs. Wang, why did she suddenly mention this again?

Xiao Lie didn't make a sound, still leading Fu Yan forward.

A daughter-in-law in the crowd answered, "Everyone knows about this. Three years ago, when the village head took the clan elders to preside over the division, many people went to see it."

"I'm here too. I remember that it was divided into four acres of land and three taels of silver." Another man remembered.

"That's a lot!" There was a new daughter-in-law in the crowd who just married in the past two years.

Her sister-in-law pulled the carefree new siblings over and said in a low voice: "You don't know about this lawsuit. The Xiao family has ten acres of land, and the remaining six acres of upper fields have been taken by the big house."

"So much?"

Second Mrs. Wang: "I remember that Brother Xiao and Sister Qian were also hardworking people back then. The good land and the big brick house were given to the big house. How come the savings over the years were only divided among you?"

The second lady Wang was talking about Xiao Lie's grandparents.

Grandpa Xiao fled to Anping Village and married the only daughter of the Qian family, who gave all the property and fields of the Qian family to his daughter and son-in-law.

Grandpa and grandma are hardworking people, otherwise they wouldn't have replaced the middle and low-level fields with new ones, and turned the mud huts into brick houses.

If you say you don't have any savings, then everyone won't believe it.

Xiao Lie lowered his eyes to cover up the coldness in his eyes, and said indifferently: "The village chief and the clan elders have presided over the division three years ago. If Second Granny Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask the village chief again."

"Hey, I'll just ask...just ask." When the second wife Wang heard the answer she wanted, she smiled and retreated to Sun Changfu's wife.

Seeing Xiao Lie's indifference and indifference, Fu Yan caressed his arm, turned around and said with a distant smile, "I remembered that the clothes at home are still hanging out in the yard, it's going to be dark today, if there's dew, it won't be good Yes. Come back slowly, we will leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lie hugged Xiao Jian in a tacit understanding, followed Fu Yan to walk away quickly, and dragged behind the slowly walking crowd.

Xiao Jian didn't quite understand what those people were talking about just now, but he somehow felt that it was not a good thing, so he hugged his brother obediently at this moment.

After waiting for a distance, Fu Yan slowed down: "Brother Alie, let the past go. We can live a good life on our own. Don't talk to those villains. It doesn't hurt your mood."

Seeing Fu Yan comforting him seriously, Xiao Lie's icy eyes were filled with warmth again: "Well, I have you guys."

Seeing that he really didn't care, Fu Yan felt relieved and went home together, talking and laughing.

She turned her head, but didn't notice the sneer on Xiao Lie's thin lips.

If the head of the Xiao family didn't come to trouble them again and again, Xiao Lie would never bother to talk to that family.

But they offended Fu Yan and Xiao Jian again and again, Xiao Lie couldn't bear it anymore.

This time, it is to teach them a small lesson, but to release some real information, as for the future, huh...

**
Seeing that the three of the Xiao family had gone far away, Sun Changfu's wife said to the second wife Wang proudly: "Mother-in-law, let me just say it. All the money from the Xiao family's property has fallen into the hands of the big family."

Wang's second wife: "Xiao Lie, can you bear this? The second room is almost a fraction."

Sun Changfu's daughter-in-law sneered: "I'm afraid, it's not even a small change. With Cui Xinghua's virtue, I don't know how much money I have in my arms."

"It's hard to say! I remember that when Brother Xiao was here, his family lived a good life."

Listening to the two of them figuring out how much money Cui Xinghua had taken, everyone couldn't help lowering their voices and listening carefully to the gossip.

Sun Changfu's daughter-in-law saw that everyone was waiting to hear them continue talking, and she couldn't help being even more excited when someone cheered her on: "That thief woman is so petty, I heard that she is only willing to give five liang to Xiao Dabao to marry her."

"Five taels? My family married a daughter-in-law, and they just saved six taels as a dowry!" an aunt exclaimed.

When everyone heard the explosive news, they chattered in all directions.

Second wife Wang: "Why do I remember that Xiao Dabao was looking at the girl from the Wang family in the next village?"

An aunt from the same village replied: "It's from my natal family, and the girl's family is not bad."

Sun Changfu's daughter-in-law looked at the folks around who were exchanging information and spitting, and thought to herself with a smile, there is another good show to watch!
