farmer's wife

Chapter 61

Five years ago, there was heavy snow in the winter, and many houses even in Shizhou City were crushed and collapsed.

As the magistrate's wife in Shizhou City, Fang Hua would not be left behind in superficial efforts such as giving relief.

But on a very cold day, Fang Hua and his children didn't want to go out in person, so they only let the personal nuns and maids around the master, wife, and young master come out to give alms instead of them for three days.

Fu Yan went out with Nanny Li and the others.

It was cold, and the servants and mothers couldn't bear it, thinking of finishing their errands and returning home to warm themselves by the fire.

On the third day, after the porridge and firewood and rough cloth were distributed at the temple entrance in the west of the city, everyone in the Zhao residence packed up their things and left.

When Fu Yan went back with her things in her hands, she tripped at the corner and nearly fell down.

She looked down and found that what was holding her back was a little foot that was black and black from the cold.

Looks like a child.

Fu Yan wanted to leave. There are so many poor people in this world who can't help but suffer from cold and starvation. She is just a maid, so what can she do.

After walking a few steps, the soles of my feet seemed to be frozen.

She gritted her teeth, finally put down the things in her hands, and walked back.

In modern times, she was an orphan, but she met the dean's mother and countless unknown charity donors along the way.

When she came here, she was a slave, but she met Mrs. Xian, Miss, Nanny Fang...

She is unfortunate, and she once resented the injustice of her fate.

But she is lucky, she is still alive and well.

Fu Yan knelt on the snow and leaned forward to push aside the tattered hay.

The disheveled child stared at her with his eyes open.

His thin face and body were bruised and purple, and he trembled slightly, but his black eyes still had the unyielding vigor, stubbornly refusing to close them.

It's fine if you don't die.

Fu Yan took out her purse, which contained half a tael of silver and a bottle of chilblain ointment just opened.

She stuffed the small bottle and silver into Fang Meng's hand, wrapped his fingers tightly, and said coldly: "You have a chance to survive, but next time you may not be so lucky, you have to save yourself! "

"Shui Zhu! What are you doing, girl, go away!" Mother Fang called her.

"Here we come!" Fu Yan replied.

She got up, picked up the things on the ground again and returned to the team of everyone, and followed them back to Zhao Mansion.

To her, this matter was nothing more than giving away some of the kindness she had received, and she did it with her own heart, without any other intention, and was soon left behind by Fu Yan.

Not to mention remembering who that child was in the future.

That gentle and cold voice awakened Fang Meng's consciousness, he clenched the things in his hands, and watched the beautiful little girl go away.

The consciousness of survival was ignited, and he staggered up.

Relying on the silver in his hand, Fang Meng survived this winter.

Relying on his clever and useful brain, he joined Gaoyimen, fought desperately, and became the "Fang Sanye" who was respectfully called "Fang Sanye" even when he came out of this city.

Later, he asked someone to inquire about the family who gave the alms that day, and it turned out to be the family of Mr. Zhao, the prefect.

Even if Fu Yan is just the big maid of Zhao Mansion, to him, he is also a cloud from the other side.

Everyone knew that Third Master Fang was bold and cruel, but he didn't know that he looked at the girl who occasionally left the house several times, and never dared to come forward to thank him.

Later, when he was out of the city on business, he heard from his younger brother that the Zhao family had been promoted and returned to Beijing.

She is the eldest maid of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and she must have followed the Zhao family to a more prosperous place.

But I didn't expect to see Fu Yan again in Shizhou City, and she was married, and she was married to a peasant family.

Fang Meng found someone who had worked in the Zhao Mansion and found out about Fu Yan's marriage.

After drinking alone all night, he didn't even think about what he had in mind for her.

It's just that after knowing that Fu Yan married a farmer, he was confused: If she is willing to marry, why can't it be me?
God willing?fate?Ah!
However, before Fang Meng could do anything, he observed Fu Yanxin's appearance along the way today.Different from the tense and cold in the past, she would smile at Xiao Lie from time to time, she was happy...

Besides, she doesn't remember him at all...

That's fine, Fang Meng told himself in his heart, as long as she is happy.

Anping Village.

The wild boar went down the mountain again, and the people in the village were panicked for a while.

After Sun Changgeng discussed with the elders in the village, everyone came up with a plan unanimously.

So the village chief immediately notified every household to send people to the Sun's ancestral hall to discuss matters.

Sun Changgeng stood on the stage and said loudly: "The big guys know about the wild boars going down the mountain. Now, Xiao Lie has found the traces of the wild boars in the deep mountains. For the safety of the village, we must at least A dozen or so people go up the mountain together and catch those wild boars!"

Hearing that people were going to be sent up the mountain to catch wild boars, it was as if water had dropped into a frying pan, and the villagers below were blown up.

"Can a dozen men catch six wild boars?"

"You idiot, the point is people? The point is that big wild boar, think about those fangs! Don't die."

"Except for the herd of wild boars, what if we let them run down and hurt people?"

"You are amazing, you go!"

"If you catch a wild boar, you will eat the meat, right?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, some agreed to go, and naturally some timidly disagreed.

Sun Changgeng waited for a while, seeing that everyone also talked for a while, he cleared his throat, and shouted again: "Everyone listen to me first, it is not easy to fight wild boars, but don't we have more than a dozen big men?" Let’s act together, and Xiao Lie and Chang Ming, two old hunters, will lead the team.”

"This matter has certain risks, so I have discussed it with the elders in the village: First, those who contribute to the wild pork hunted up the mountain this time will share it among themselves, and the ones that cannot be eaten by themselves can be sold to the villagers or grandchildren. Butchers in exchange for money. Second, every family that has a man up the mountain will be given rice, flour, oil, salt and cloth by the village official. They have worked hard to keep our village safe, so everyone agrees with this reward?!"

It is morally correct, some cowardly and jealous people have nothing to say, and the minority obeys the majority, not to mention that the elders present here also agree.

There are many people and strength, and hearing that there are meat and bonus points, many people in the ancestral hall were also shaken.

How long has it been since I tasted meat at home!There is a certain guarantee of safety, and you can earn these for your family if you work hard, and those whose families are poorer are even more excited.

Seeing that everyone is not so opposed, Sun Changgeng added: "The little wild boar is okay, and everyone knows that the two adult wild boars are powerful, so we only agree to sign up for the mountain with strong bodies!"

Otherwise, the bastard won't say anything, if he shrinks his hands and feet, it's a disservice, wouldn't he be pissed off!

Sun Changgeng: "It's better not to be late for this matter. Everyone go back to discuss it. If you want to go, come to my house to sign up. You have to go up the mountain tomorrow."

After talking about the matter, the villagers dispersed and hurried home to discuss.
