☆ 71. Chapter 71 Forced

Chapter 71 Forced

Liu to meet Taohong, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. When they had cried enough, in front of Zhang Yu'e who was watching from the side, Liu couldn't say anything else and asked Taohong whether it was Tian Jinduo who bullied her.

Taohong just cried, and when she was asked urgently, she could only nod.

When Liu saw her nod, she felt distressed and relieved.

Liu said that since she and Tian Jinduo had already made a fait accompli, there was no need to worry about whether it was embarrassing or not, and just get married. Taohong was not happy, she still wanted to go find her lover, but Liu beat and scolded her, saying that she would be driven back if she was like this, and asked her to be honest and get married. Seeing that Taohong wanted to say something, she took off the copper hairpin on her head and pressed it against her neck, saying that if she didn't agree, she would die in front of her, and finally made Taohong nod.

Zhang Yu'e frowned at the side, wondering what was going on? Tian Jinduo said that it was not him who did it. If it was not him, would he take the blame and marry Taohong? She thought Taohong was not a good person! If she really married her, she would be depressed for the rest of her life!

Not only Zhang Yu'e thought so, but many people who heard the Zhang family say that Tian Jinduo married Taohong also had this idea. These people all believed or suspected that Tian Jinduo was wronged.

Tian Jinduo's face turned blue with anger. He was not willing to marry Taohong at all. Not to mention that Taohong had already been taken advantage of by others, just saying that he was going to marry Taohong meant that he was admitting his guilt, wasn't it? Even if someone believed that it was not him, he would become a living cuckold! He didn't want to wear such a big green hat!

Aunt Tian was even more unhappy. She didn't want such a daughter-in-law.

Zhang Ming said: "So many people saw you and my sister together, you still want to deny it? If you still deny it, we can only tear our faces apart and report you to the government! At worst, our family will leave our hometown, but your family can't run away! And your entire Qingshan Village will be looked down upon because of you. Think about it carefully!"

Zhang Ming has thought it through. Whether it was Tian Jinduo who did it or not, Tian Jinduo must bear the responsibility! Even if it was Tian Jinduo who did it, he looks like this, his family conditions are not bad, and his poor character can be ignored. If it wasn't him, then his character is good, and it would be better for his sister to marry him. Although he was wronged, they can help the young couple more in the future, and their family will spend their whole lives to repay this debt! In fact,

Zhang Ming already believed that Tian Jinduo was wronged, but for Taohong, he still chose to go against his conscience. When Liu went to see Taohong, he quietly told her, and finally came to this step. He thought that if he made another effort, the marriage would be settled.

As soon as Zhang Ming said this, the people sitting in the middle all frowned. He was right. If this matter was really reported to the government, it would have a very bad impact on their village. It would also affect the marriages of the girls and boys in the village. The people in their village would be inferior to others when they were mentioned about this matter. This was not good.

When Tian Daqiang saw that the village chief and the others were looking at him, he was furious. He thought that they had compromised and wanted his son to marry Taohong! What should he do now? If he didn't marry her, the Zhang family might say they would sue, and the people in the village would exclude their family in the future. But if he married her, his son would feel wronged! Tian Daqiang had never been so worried in his life. Tian

Jinduo wanted to say that he would rather go to jail than marry Taohong, but his mother was already leaning on him weakly, and his father seemed to be about to collapse. He really couldn't say it. He was angry and anxious, and his eyes were red.

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu stood aside and didn't know what to do. Zhang Xiaoyu went over to support Aunt Tian. Ji He frowned and thought to himself that he was really useless. Tian Jinduo was his friend, but he couldn't help him.

As the patriarch of the Tian family, Mr. Tian finally said when Mr. Ji looked at him again: "Daqiang, why don't you let Jinduo marry the girl from the Zhang family?"

Tian Daqiang looked at Mr. Tian. He knew that Mr. Tian was thinking about the Tian family and the village. If he was a bystander, he might have said the same thing, but now it was his son who encountered this. When he heard others say this, he felt angry in his heart no matter how much he understood.

Mr. Tian lowered his head when he was looked at by Tian Daqiang.

Master Ji said, "Daqiang, don't complain. I know your family is wronged, but do you want Jinduo to go to jail? I heard that there is a shortage of hard labor recently. Maybe he will have to do hard labor for the rest of his life! If he really goes, it won't be much better than death! It's better to stay alive and marry and have children. This will always pass, and you can still be a reunited family!"

Zhang Dequan said, "Just give me the truth!"

Aunt Tian was supported by Zhang Xiaoyu, holding Tian Jinduo's arm, and gritted her teeth and said, "Son, why don't you marry her!"

Tian Jinduo looked at his mother's bloodshot eyes, roaring in his heart that he would not marry her, but he couldn't refuse.

Ji He looked at Tian Jinduo's almost distorted face, clenched his fists, turned around and walked out. He was standing in an inconspicuous position, and everyone was paying attention to Tian Jinduo. Even if someone saw him when he went out, they didn't pay much attention. He went to the yard and saw someone standing in front of the door of the room where Taohong stayed. It was Taohong's younger brother, who was guarding like a door god. Even if he went over, he probably couldn't get in. Even if he went in, he would be heard clearly if he wanted to say something to Taohong.

Ji He still didn't go over. When he returned to the room, he knew that the marriage had been settled.

Ji He smiled sarcastically, wanting to see the Zhang family's relieved expression. No matter how well they hid it, it was useless. He thought Taohong was the Zhang family's beloved daughter, and also a trouble they wanted to get rid of. They may not believe that Tian Jinduo was wronged, but after finding out that Tian Jinduo was not so bad, they still chose to go against their conscience and dump Taohong to Tian Jinduo. It was really selfish.

The Zhang family took Taohong home and agreed to let Tian Jinduo make a decision within three days. They directly changed the birth date. In fact, at this time, no one cared about the birth date.

At the Tian family, Ji Dafa persuaded Tian Daqiang, Zhang accompanied Aunt Tian, ​​Zhang Xiaoyu and Ji He were responsible for watching Tian Jinduo. Tian Jinduo looked like he had lost his soul. He used to be a very cheerful young man, but now he was drooping his head, lying on the kang and looking at the roof beams.

"Hezi, why am I so unlucky? I just went up the mountain and encountered such a thing! It's really not me!" Tian Jinduo held his head and was about to cry.

Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Brother Jinduo, don't worry, let's think of a solution."

"What solution can there be? The Zhang family has chosen me!"

"Maybe there is a way!" Zhang Xiaoyu said, "We saw Taohong. Just before she fell into the river yesterday, I heard her say that she had someone in her heart. She asked your family for money. She must want to find her lover!"

Tian Jinduo looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Go on!"

Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Her family wants her to marry you, but she doesn't seem to be very willing. Let's help her and let her find her lover!"

Ji He looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with a smile on his face. He thought that she was worthy of being the person he liked. They thought the same thing.

Ji He said to Tian Jinduo: "I have enough money in my hand for her to go to the capital to find her sweetheart. As long as we meet her before your marriage is settled and let her run away, everything will be solved. When she runs away, even if your reputation is still affected, it will be better than marrying her."

Tian Jinduo has completely recovered his spirit, jumped off the kang, and said: "Yes! Let's do it! Hezi, Xiaoyu, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might really marry that woman! Then my life would be over! I'm not afraid of a bad reputation! I just don't want to get married in this life, even if I have to leave my hometown, I don't want to marry her!"

Seeing Tian Jinduo in such spirit, Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu both laughed.

The three of them didn't plan to hide this from their elders, and told Tian Daqiang and others. When Tian Daqiang and

others heard it, they all changed from worry to joy, thinking this was a good idea. Ji He told Tian Jinduo that he must not reveal the truth, and let him continue to pretend to be a coffin face. If this play is to be performed, he must perform it in full and deceive everyone.

Tian Jinduo immediately restored his previous expression and said, "Is this it? Is that ok?"

Aunt Tian patted him and said, "Okay! Okay! Go out and put on this face again, it's unlucky."

Tian Jinduo immediately smiled when he heard it, showing two rows of white teeth. He then pulled Ji He to discuss how to see Taohong and how to let Taohong escape smoothly to find her lover.

Ji Dafa looked at Ji He and thought that this child has really grown up. Look, not only does he live a beautiful life, but now he also knows how to help others. He really doesn't need to worry about him in the future.

☆ 72. Chapter 72 Solution

Chapter 72 Solution

Tian Jinduo really dislikes Taohong and wants to resolve this matter before making a decision, because if it is decided, then the marriage will be settled, and he doesn't want to have more involvement with Taohong. But without thinking too much, you know that these few days must be the days when the Zhang family is watching Taohong the most strictly. It is already difficult to see Taohong, and it is even more difficult to give her money to let her escape. Tian Jinduo thought about it and pulled out a lot of hair.

Ji He advised Tian Jinduo not to worry, as long as Taohong didn't enter the Tian family, it didn't matter if the marriage was settled. As long as Taohong ran away before the marriage, the marriage would not count, and the Tian family would be right at that time.

Tian Daqiang and Aunt Tian were also anxious and tried to persuade them, but Tian Jinduo still wanted to run into Zhang's house in the middle of the night to talk to Taohong, but was stopped by his family. Although Tian Jinduo's reputation was ruined, he was wrongly accused and could not be caught again. If he was really caught, those who believed in him would also believe him. This was not okay. Their Tian family would not do such a thing.

Ji He actually agreed to go to Taohong secretly in his heart, because the Zhang family watched Taohong too strictly and he could not see her without a way. However, the Tian family objected, so he had to give up. He would not go to meet Taohong by himself over the wall in the middle of the night, and he could not find anyone he could trust. He could only think about meeting Taohong after the marriage was settled and the Zhang family would relax their vigilance.

Three days was not a short time, but it was too fast for the Tian family. Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Tian Daqiang knew that the marriage would most likely fail, he still had to put on a good show. He prepared a betrothal gift of three taels of silver, six gifts, two pieces of good cloth, ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of brown sugar and white sugar, and ten kilograms of oil and ten kilograms of pork. In the countryside, it was considered a decent betrothal gift.

Aunt Tian looked at the betrothal gifts and thought that even if the marriage failed, she might not be able to get back the betrothal gifts. It was really infuriating. Her son was wrongly accused and had a bad reputation, and she had to pay for it. But then she thought, as long as she didn't have to marry Tao Hong, what did these mean?

No one in the Tian family slept well that night. They felt suffocated when they thought about tomorrow. They fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night and woke up early the next day.

Tian Jinduo lay on the kang with two dark circles under his eyes and didn't want to get up. When he heard the door open, he wondered who it was that knocked on the door so early. Even if he wanted to make fun of his family, he didn't have to do it so early. He didn't sit up until he heard his father ask who it was and said it was Ji He.

"Hezi, why are you here so early? Didn't we agree that I would go to your house?" Tian Jinduo said to Ji He. Because this marriage was too embarrassing, Tian Jinduo didn't want to be laughed at. He planned to walk to Taohua Village from the other side of the mountain. He already knew that the land opposite belonged to Ji He, so it would be convenient for them to walk over, and they would not have to pass by the village. Ji He looked Tian

Jinduo up and down, with a smile on his face.

Tian Jinduo touched his face when Ji He looked at him, thinking that his face was covered with tears, why was he smiling like this? He patted Ji He's shoulder and said unhappily: "What are you laughing at? Today is not a good day. If you laugh again, I will fight with you!"

Tian Daqiang felt that Ji He's laughter was not right. He knew that Ji He was not a person who could not stand the situation, so he asked: "Hezi, what are you laughing at? What's the good news?"

Ji He smiled and nodded, saying: "There is good news! You will be happy to hear it! Come, let's go to the house and talk!"

The three of them entered the house, and Tian Jinduo was also interested and asked: "What good news is it? Did you pick up gold or silver? Or are you going to be a father?"

"There is no gold, no silver, and even less children." Ji He glared at Tian Jinduo, then said to Tian Daqiang and Aunt Tian: "Congratulations, godfather and godmother, something happened to the Zhang family! You don't have to have that terrible daughter-in-law anymore!"

Aunt Tian's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she grabbed Ji He and said: "What? What happened? Tell me clearly!"

Tian Daqiang also asked: "What happened to the Zhang family? How did you know?"

Ji He said: "A letter was sent from across the river this morning, saying that Taohong stole the silver from the family and ran away. In order to prevent the family from chasing her, they locked all the doors of the house. At that time, someone who got up early saw the Zhang family jumping over the wall. , and then borrowed a mule cart to send the eldest daughter-in-law to the town to see a doctor. Someone saw it at the time. "

Aunt Tian was shocked and said, "Could it be that girl who did it?"

Ji He said, "That's what they say. They say Taohong must have been seen by her sister-in-law when she ran away secretly, and then she did it."

Aunt Tian shook her head and sighed, "They said that girl is a troublemaker. Look, she not only hurt herself, but also started to hurt her family! Fortunately, she didn't make trouble for our Tian family. God finally opened his eyes!"

Aunt Tian hurriedly prayed, thinking that her family must have been unlucky because God dozed off before, and now he is awake, so her family has escaped the disaster.

Tian Daqiang also smiled and said, "So the marriage is over now! That's great! Hezi, thanks to you for the letter, otherwise we would have to go to the Zhang family, and we would have lost face!"

Tian Jinduo didn't know what to say now. He looked at Ji He with gratitude, stretched out his hand and patted him hard on the shoulder a few times, shaking Ji He. It hurt, but seeing the joy of the three members of the Tian family, he also smiled, thinking that God still blesses good people.

Taohong ran away, and the marriage between the two families could not be concluded. The Zhang family still felt sorry for Taohong. Even if they thought that Tian Jinduo might be wronged, they planned to let him marry their daughter. But now they are full of resentment towards Taohong, and they are not obsessed with this marriage. The guilt towards Tian Jinduo is even stronger. Taohong is so cruel that she might have wronged Tian Jinduo. Just as Tian Jinduo said, he just happened to catch up, but Taohong blamed him.

Because of Taohong's escape, the Zhang family agreed to the marriage. When

Tian Jinduo came out of Zhang's house, his face regained its original smile. He ran forward with his arms open for a while, then turned around and ran back, standing in front of Ji He and laughing, so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Tian Daqiang kicked him and scolded him with a smile: "Okay! Stop making a fuss! This time you are lucky, but it's also thanks to Ji and Xiaoyu, otherwise I would be so anxious."

Aunt Tian also said: "That's right, if it weren't for Hezi and Xiaoyu, I really don't know how I would have spent the past two days."

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "Godmother, what are you thanking me for? We are not outsiders."

"Yes, I don't want Jinduo to marry such a wife. If he really marries, the family will be lively in the future. I'm also afraid that my Xiaoyu will be led astray or bullied by her."

Ji He said, but he was thinking that Taohong was actually a good or bad girl. After all, he didn't know whether she framed Tian Jinduo or really thought it was Tian Jinduo. But he still didn't like this girl. She loved someone and tried hard to pursue that person. There was nothing wrong with that. What was wrong was that she implicated her family, stole the family's money, and knocked out her sister-in-law, who was pregnant. How cruel must she be to do that? Fortunately, Tian Jinduo didn't have to marry her. Otherwise, such a woman who had someone else in her heart and could be cruel for that person would really be a disaster.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Ji He with watery eyes and said firmly: "I won't be bullied."

Tian Jinduo smiled and said: "Yes, Xiaoyu is not a soft-hearted person. He will beat people when he is angry. Hezi, don't provoke Xiaoyu, otherwise you will get beaten."

Ji He said: "Xiaoyu will not beat me."

"Yes, I will never beat Ah He in my life." Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at Tian Jinduo, pursed his lips and said: "Brother Jinduo, I will beat you if you talk nonsense again."

Tian Jinduo immediately said to Aunt Tian: "Mom, Xiaoyu is going to beat me."

Aunt Tian smiled and said: "If you provoke Xiaoyu to beat you, I will not let you go! Xiaoyu will definitely not beat you for no reason. You must deserve it!"

"It's really unfair!" Tian Jinduo sighed to the sky.

Tian Daqiang looked at them with a smile, but he was still a little worried. Although Taohong ran away, his family's reputation was still ruined, and it was hard to say whether his son would get married in the future. However, when he looked at Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu, he thought that marriage was destined by heaven. Ji He also married Zhang Xiaoyu and was living a good life now. If he looked for a better one, he would definitely be able to help his son marry a good one. If that didn't work, he could marry Shuang'er. As long as the person was good, it didn't matter if it was difficult to give birth.

Aunt Tian was also thinking about this matter. She thought that she had to get her son married soon. She was worried that Taohong would come back again.

Taohua Village was not far from Biyun Manor, and several people arrived quickly.

When the three members of the Tian family came, they had something on their minds and didn't look at the manor carefully. Now they have nothing on their minds, but they look at it carefully. They were already amazed at the fields outside just now, and now they are even more amazed at the scene inside the manor. They are envious and happy that Ji He can own such a manor. Aunt Tian praised Ji He for his ability.

Ji He said, "Godfather, godmother, Jinduo, if you feel that living in the village is oppressive, just move in and live with us. It's just right to keep us company."

Tian Daqiang just waved his hand to refuse, but Ji He stopped him from talking.

Ji He said, "I have many houses here, enough for you to live in. Besides keeping us company, I have other reasons for letting you live here. I want to do some business, and I'm short of manpower. I need to find people I can trust for this business. Besides my uncle's family, you are the ones I trust the most. I plan to let my uncle's family live here, and then we can do business together." Ji

He had already thought about it. If they want to expand the wine business, it will definitely not be enough for them to do it alone. They need help. The uncle's family and the Tian family are the most suitable helpers. He originally only wanted his uncle's family to live here, but now that the Tian family has encountered such a thing, they will definitely be laughed at and pointed at if they live in the village, so it's better to let them move in.

Zhang Xiaoyu also persuaded him, saying that it would be safer to have more people in the wilderness.

Aunt Tian was somewhat tempted. She was not coveting the nice house here, but she felt that this place was separated from the village by a river, and she wanted to avoid being laughed at by others. She was a straightforward person. Seeing that Tian Daqiang was still hesitating, she said that they would not live in the manor, but would build a house outside the manor and give him money every year. After saying this, she looked at Tian Daqiang with pleading eyes.

Tian Daqiang also nodded.

When Tian Jinduo saw his parents nod, he smiled and began to ask Ji He what business he planned to do.

Ji He had asked Zhang Shan to prepare the food early, and while eating, he talked to the Tian family about his plan to make money.

☆ 73. Chapter 73 The Problem of Grapes

Chapter 73 The question about grapes

"Wine? Grapes can also be made into wine?" Tian Jinduo had just picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, but before he put it in his mouth, he was attracted by Ji He's words. He didn't care about eating the food, put the food on the plate in front of him, and asked with great interest.

Tian Daqiang and Aunt Tian were also curious. They had lived for most of their lives and had never heard that grapes could be made into wine. But think about it, if grains can be made into wine, why can't grapes be made into wine? However, they still couldn't imagine what grapes would look like after being made into wine, let alone how to make it.

Ji He picked up a chicken leg for Zhang Xiaoyu, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I have drunk it before, it has a different flavor."

"Hezi, where have you drunk it before?" Tian Jinduo frowned in annoyance and said, "I have never even heard of it, but you have drunk it. I am so lucky. You didn't even leave some for me. We are brothers for nothing!"

Ji He glanced at him and said, "You almost looked down on me when you saw me. We were not brothers at that time. I didn't even leave any wine for you."

Tian Jinduo looked down on Ji He's wilted look and had never said a few words to him.

"Haha, yes, we were not familiar with each other at that time."

Tian Jinduo touched his head embarrassedly. Thinking back to the past, Ji He felt that he was a coward. He didn't expect that he would become like this now. Sure enough, people will change. Although Ji Dacai's family had cheated Ji He for so many years, they did a good thing in the end and stimulated Ji He's ability.

Aunt Tian smiled and patted Tian Jinduo, then turned to ask Ji He: "Hezi, where have you drunk it? Since you have drunk it, there must be someone who can make it. Does the person who made it allow you to use it for business? Other people may not agree."

Tian Jinduo said: "Mom, you worry too much. Since I have taught you, I have given this recipe to Hezi. It is fine whether Hezi wants to make it for himself or use it for business. Otherwise, Hezi would not have proposed to use it for business!"

Tian Daqiang and Aunt Tian also felt that this was the case and were relieved.

Ji He did not say anything more. The original Ji He only left some memories in his mind, not all of them. He was afraid that if he said too much, there would be doubts, so he would speak less when it came to the original owner's previous life.

Tian Daqiang pondered for a moment and said, "The wine business is very profitable, especially the wine you made is a new wine that has never appeared before. If it is ordinary, it will be fine, but I am afraid that it will taste good and will definitely attract some people. Hezi, have you thought of a countermeasure? If it doesn't work, you can only find someone to partner with."

Ji He thought that although Tian Daqiang was a farmer, he was not ignorant. He was right. Everyone would want to grab the way to make money, especially this kind of business with secret recipes. The secret recipe is simply a piece of glittering gold. How many hands want to reach out and grab it. There are examples. However, he had already found a backer, Zheng Yuan. Although Zheng Yuan's identity is still unclear, it can be guessed that Zheng Yuan's status is noble, at least higher than the backer Yan Yuanwai he once wanted to find.

Ji He told this story, which shocked the Tian family again. They thought that Ji He's luck was too good. Not only did he have a relationship with the Yan family, but he also knew people in the capital. But they were a little worried that people with such high status would be too difficult to mess with, and they were worried that they would be unfavorable to Ji He.

Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Godfather, godmother, don't worry, Mr. Zheng is a pretty good person."

Zhang Xiaoyu thought of Zheng Yuan. Although he felt that he was a little childish, he didn't know why he felt that he was quite reliable. He felt that he was kind and that he was not a bad person.

Aunt Tian liked Zhang Xiaoyu very much and knew that he was not a person with no idea in his mind. Seeing him say so, she thought that both the young couple had set their sights on Mr. Zheng, and it seemed that there was really no problem, so she was relieved. Tian Daqiang thought so too, but he was worried about something else, that is, grapes.

To make wine, you need grapes. Ji He also said that if you want to make it, you have to make a big one, but where can you get so many grapes?

Tian Jinduo said, "Dad, do you still need to worry about this? Let's go and harvest grapes. I don't believe that we can't harvest grapes within a hundred miles!"

Tian Daqiang said, "Even if we can harvest grapes, they are so cute."

Ji He said, "I plan to grow them myself, so I can just pick them directly, and I can save the money to buy grapes and the travel expenses. There are lands on the west and east sides of my farm, and we can grow grapes on them. When the time comes, we will use the grapes here, and harvest more when they are not enough. Maybe when our business gets bigger in the future, we can plant more grapes in Qingshan Village and make more money."

Aunt Tian smiled and said, "That's great! Hezi is really conscientious. He has made a fortune and has not forgotten the villagers. Let's see who in the village dares to say bad things about you again."

Ji He smiled. He thought to himself that when the time comes, he will not harvest grapes from those families who have grudges against him, which must include Ji Dacai and Zhang Daniu!

Tian Daqiang frowned and said, "But can grapes survive at this time? It's so hot!"

Aunt Tian thought so too. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there will be more and more rain. If you want to transplant grapes, you must transplant those that can bear fruit in a year. It's really hard for them to survive. Especially for Ji He, you have to plant a lot. When the time comes, the more you plant, the more dead you will be. That's a lot of money to lose.

Ji He's idea is of course risky for others, but it's not risky for him at all. He has the spiritual spring, and those grapes will only grow stronger and stronger.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't wait for Ji He to speak and said directly, "Ah He will definitely be able to grow the grape trees. Ah He is the best at farming."

Zhang Xiaoyu now has a blind belief in Ji He. He thinks that what Ji He wants to do can be done. If he wants to catch wild animals, there must be prey in the trap. If he wants to catch fish, he can definitely catch the fattest fish. If he wants to grow crops, whether it's rice seedlings or cotton seedlings, they will grow better than others. If he wants to grow flowers, the flowers he grows will be admired by even the gentlemen in the city! Even the vegetables in their garden are growing extraordinarily fresh and tender, his dog is stronger and smarter than others, what else can't Ji He raise?

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Ji He and could already imagine the scene of grapes bearing abundant fruits.

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at each other, seeing his pair of warm eyes looking at him with trust, thinking that he is indeed his husband, who trusts him so much.

Tian Jinduo looked at them and thought that Ji He was so lucky to marry such a good husband as Zhang Xiaoyu, who trusts him so much and supports him in everything he does. He wondered if he would have such a blessing in the future. When he thought of Taohong, he felt blocked in his heart and thought that his future marriage would be even more difficult.

Tian Daqiang thought about the crops planted by Ji He and thought that what Zhang Xiaoyu said was the truth. Ji He's farming was indeed getting better and better. If he said that he was farming based on experience, he would rather believe that Ji He was lucky, because Ji He had also farmed before leaving Ji Dacai's house, but he didn't grow such good crops. If it was due to luck, the grape thing might be more promising. No matter what, it's always a good thing for this kid to be motivated. It's okay if he reminds him, and it's not good to control him too much.

After talking about this, the five people finished their meal. They were full and enjoyed the meal.

Zhang Shan sent them across the bridge again, watched them go into the mountain, and then turned back.

When they arrived at the door of their house, Aunt Tian asked them to go to their house for dinner in the evening, saying it was a celebration, but in fact, she just wanted to thank Ji He and them. Tian Daqiang said that he would invite Ji Dafa's family as well, and then they would talk about the wine together.

Ji He agreed and watched them leave. The young couple entered the yard. The two puppies were already barking in the yard. When they saw them come in, they jumped around each other and played happily.

Zhang Xiaoyu squatted down and touched their heads, smiled gently and said, "When you get to the farm in the future, you will have a big place to play. Now I'll have to trouble you to look after the house."

Ji He teased the shrimp with his feet and said, "What kind of home can they see now? We still have to move quickly, otherwise even if the things in the house are hidden, the thieves can't steal anything valuable, but it will be annoying if they are turned over."

There are petty thieves in Qingshan Village, but not many people really break into the house to steal things. Even if they live in such a remote place, they have attracted a lot of people's attention these days, but there are no thieves in the house. But who knows what will happen in the future?

Zhang Xiaoyu also nodded. In fact, he really couldn't bear to leave here. Although it was shabby and old, it was the place where he and Ji He got married, and there were their sweet memories.

Ji He knew what Zhang Xiaoyu was thinking when he looked at the broken house with that reluctant look, and said, "This will be our holiday home in the future. Anyway, it's just across the river. It won't take long to come here by boat or on foot. We can come here every day. You don't have to be reluctant."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, thinking that as long as Ji He was by his side, it would be the same wherever he was.

After lunch break, Ji and his friends went to the village, and first went to Ji Dafa's house. Ji Dafa's family also knew that the Tian family had escaped a disaster, and they were very happy when they got together. Ji Dafa even took out a small jar of wine from his home and said that he would take it to Tian's house to drink in the evening. Ji Qing is now in much better health, and he also went to Tian's house.

"Hey! Ji Qing, the great talent, is out? Are you okay? Don't get sick again if the wind blows!"

Hua Langzhong's wife was walking on the road. When she saw them, she immediately stopped to greet them. When she saw Ji Qing walking steadily without anyone's support, her eyes widened. Her head of the family told her that Ji Qing was seriously ill, and even if he didn't die, it would be difficult to recover. But how come he seems to be well now? Ji Dafa's family treats him as a treasure. In the past, they always hid him at home, fearing that he would catch a cold or catch a cold. Now they are willing to let him out, so he must be well!

Ji Qing bowed slightly to her, and only pulled the corner of his mouth lightly. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ji Lan.

Ji Lan smiled sarcastically and said, "My brother is better now. Doctor Hua said at the beginning that my brother would not be able to recover and that he would just delay for a few days. It seems that one can't trust everything the doctor says. Otherwise, he would be so disheartened that he wouldn't even know how he died. That would be so unfair."

Doctor Hua made a lot of money from Ji Da's fortune during the years when Ji Qing was ill, but Ji Da discovered that the medicine he used was not very good. Although they didn't make a big fuss, the resentment had been building for a long time. In addition, Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu also had grudges against the Hua family, so Ji Lan's words were naturally unpleasant.

☆ 74. Chapter 74: Doctor Hua's Wife

Chapter 74 Hua Langzhong's Wife

Hua Langzhong's Wife Yu's face immediately fell when she heard Ji Lan's words. She pinched her waist and said, "Ji Lan, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Lan's mouth twitched and she snorted, "How straightforward am I? You still don't understand? Why are you so angry if you don't understand? Can't you even tell good from bad? You just like pinching your waist to make a teapot?"

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips and smiled. Ji Lan's mouth was so mean. Isn't Yu's action just like a teapot?

Yu saw Zhang Xiaoyu smiling and glared at him. She found that Zhang Xiaoyu's appearance had changed a lot. His face had grown flesh. His pale face was now white and rosy. It seemed that it was still shiny in the sun. The clothes he wore were not as ragged and old as before. There was no patch on them. His ears and fingers were all shining silver. It was obvious that he was living a comfortable and rich life. Thinking that it was because of her that Zhang Xiaoyu was rejected by the Jian family, she felt that Zhang Xiaoyu had turned a disaster.

"Xiao Yu, this is really not very kind of you. You still laugh when others scold me! You seem to be living a good life now, but you have to do more good deeds to keep your good life, otherwise God may take away your blessings one day!"

"Doing good to good people is of course accumulating virtue, but not to bad people, that's doing evil, I dare not do that."

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a faint smile. He also knew that it was Yu who was too talkative and sent a letter to the Jian family, which caused him to be broken off the engagement and he was almost sold to Wang Zhubo as a servant by the Zhang family. Naturally, he was not polite to her.

Yu glared and said, "Okay, you really learn from the people you follow. You and Ji Lan are both so sharp-tongued. Be careful that your teeth will be pulled out when you die! Ji He, you don't even take care of your husband. You have finally lived a good life. Don't let him ruin it for you again! You said that you finally lived a good life alone, but you married a husband like this, and let your husband have a sharp conversation with you. Aren't you afraid of going back to your life!"

Ji Lan raised her eyebrows and cursed, "Listen to your nonsense! You are..."

"Lan'er!"

Zhang grabbed Ji Lan. After all, Ji Lan was not betrothed to someone else's Shuang'er. It was not good to curse people like this in public. She stepped forward and said to Yu with a stern face, "Hua Erjia! Children are ignorant and say whatever they want. You are old, but you have to know what to say and what not to say!"

Ji Dafa also snorted at the side. It was not convenient for him, a grown man, to quarrel with a woman, but he also had to let Yu know that he was unhappy standing aside.

Seeing that there were so many people on the opposite side, some had stern faces or half-smiles, and they didn't look like they were easy to bully. She couldn't help but take a step back, curled her lips and said, "I came up to say hello, but your Shuang'er spoke so nonsense, making Xiao Yu laugh at me, and you don't allow me to scold you? Don't bully me!"

Ji Lan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm telling the truth. What does it have to do with you if Xiao Yu laughs? You are the king of the world, and you don't allow people to laugh?"

Yu immediately pointed at Ji Lan and said, "Look at you, look at you!"

Zhang glared at Ji Lan, and said to Yu, "Okay, you said it, right? " It's really not kind, and I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you have nothing to do, just leave."

Yu didn't want to leave. She looked at the wine jar in Ji Dafa's hand and the basket in Zhang's hand, and said with a smile: "Where are you going? Are you going to the Tian family? Oh! Today is the day when the Tian family goes to Taohua Village to propose marriage. It's a good day. Are you going to celebrate for them? I'm not saying that you should not go to their family because of their reputation. Even if you had a good relationship in the past, stay away from them in the future, especially don't let Shuang'er go, otherwise you will talk about it again, hehe..."

Yu covered her mouth and let out a series of laughter that gave people gossip.

"You are such a good Yu! You are not afraid of your tongue getting rotten when you talk about others behind their backs! You dare to stir up trouble! I will tear your mouth off!"

Yu was laughing when she suddenly heard someone scolding her from behind. Then she felt a pain on her scalp. It turned out that someone grabbed her hair. She stretched out her hand to save her hair in pain, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was pulled by her hair and turned around. A shoe sole hit her, and she saw stars in front of her eyes. Before she could come to her senses, she was hit more than ten times with a shoe sole. When she came to her senses, she began to resist and struggled crying.

The one who beat her was Aunt Tian. She came here to invite Ji Dafa and his family to dinner, but as soon as she arrived, she heard Yu trying to stir up trouble between Ji Dafa and his family and her family, which made her very angry. If it was any other time, she might not have taken action, but now her family's reputation was damaged, and she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she just vented it on this blind Yu.

Zhang was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to separate them. Although she also wanted to hit Yu, the Hua couple would not be easy to deal with if they really hurt someone.

Aunt Tian stopped, put on her shoes, spat at Yu, and cursed: "If you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, believe it or not, I will really tear your mouth! Anyway, my reputation is not so good anymore, it doesn't matter if it gets a little worse!"

In addition to being hit on the face, Yu was hit on the back and arms by the soles of the shoes. Apart from the pain, she was not beaten badly. She was stunned for a while, and then she sat on the ground ready to cry. Just as she opened her mouth, she saw Aunt Tian cursing and trying to take off her shoes again, so she shut up immediately.

Ji He smiled and shook his head, thinking that Yu really deserved a beating. To deal with such a person, you really have to do it like Aunt Tian did to feel relieved.

Zhang went over to help Yu up and advised, "Don't make a scene. Who told you to say bad things about others behind their backs? We are all from the same village. How can you behave like that?"

Yu angrily pushed Zhang away and said, "You two families are ganging up to bully me! I will go to the village chief to sue you!"

Yu turned around and ran quickly towards Lin Yongxin's house.

Aunt Tian scolded, "You dare to sue me? I want to see what you can sue! I'll keep you company!"

Ji Lan clapped her hands and said, "That's right! I'll keep you company! Who is afraid of her? She will say that she also beat people up in a while. Will the village chief, who has so many things to do, care about women swearing and fighting? Aunt Tian, ​​don't worry, I'll testify for you!"

"You troublemaker! If you hadn't provoked her, how could there be so many troubles? I really have to discipline you in the future, otherwise what will happen in the future?" Zhang tapped Ji Lan's forehead. Although she said so, she didn't blame Ji Lan too much. She also felt that although her Shuang'er's words were a bit hurtful, she didn't wrongly accuse Yu.

Ji Lan touched his forehead and said, "Mother, do you think that if I don't say anything, that person will say something nice?"

Aunt Tian said, "Lan'er is right." Ji

Dafa said, "Okay, you go first, I'll go to the village chief to see, don't make trouble at home, or you won't be able to eat well."

Ji He said to Aunt Tian, ​​"Godmother, go home at ease, I'll go with my uncle."

Zhang Xiaoyu also said to Aunt Tian, ​​"Godmother, let's go, you've had enough beating, don't go to anger that Yu anymore."

Aunt Tian was not a fool, she knew their good intentions, and didn't insist, just told them to say that they were beaten too, so that Yu couldn't make any big waves.

Ji Dafa and Ji He went to the village chief to ask and found out that Yu didn't come at all. Lin Yongxin knew what happened and shook his head and smiled, telling them not to worry, he would definitely not interfere in this matter, that Yu was not beaten to death or disabled, it was just some disputes between the two women, if he even interfered in this, he would be really busy! He also knew that Tian Jinduo didn't have to marry Taohong, and he was happy for Tian Jinduo. If Zhang Yu'e hadn't stopped him, he might have gone to Tian's house for a few drinks.

Zhang Yu'e and the others left and said to him unhappily: "Why did you go up to them? Even if Tian Jinduo didn't do that, his family's reputation is not good. Don't get too close to them recently. You are the village chief, you have to be careful!"

Lin Yongxin sighed, knowing that Zhang Yu'e was doing it for his own good, and didn't say anything.

Yu did not go to the village chief to complain. She was not stupid and knew that going to the village chief for such a small matter as a quarrel between two women would only make him have a bad impression of her. She had said that before just to find a reason to slip away with some momentum. Seeing that Lin Dafa and the others actually believed it and went to find the village chief, she pulled a smile and went home.

Doctor Hua listened to Yu's complaint and said unhappily, "Why do you always gossip when you have nothing to do? And you were caught, you deserve to be beaten!"

Yu said angrily, "I am your wife, can you still tell the inside from the outside?" Doctor

Hua said, "Look at you, why don't you use your brain? Ji Qing is fine now. With his brain, he might really be able to make a good career! And Ji He, he knows the Yan family and saved the son of landlord Jiang. Even if we don't flatter him, we shouldn't offend him again, right? I offended them before, and I was still thinking about how to make them forget it, but you go and make new enemies. You are really my good wife!"

Yu said with her neck stiff, unconvinced, "I was also mad at Ji Lan's damn Shuang'er, and Zhang Xiaoyu has been with him for a long time and has become sharp-tongued, which makes me so angry!"

"Then why are you talking about the Tian family again? The Tian family is in trouble now, but it's not for you to step on."

"I'm just talking to myself. Besides, that damn woman from the Tian family has bullied me before. What's wrong with her?"

Doctor Hua glared at her and said, "I won't say anything to you. Take out the jar of good wine at home. I'm going to the Tian family to ease the relationship."

"Send them wine? They beat me up!" Yu was not happy and wanted to grab her man.

Doctor Hua said, "What do you know? Only by getting close to the enemy can you better deal with the enemy. You won't be beaten in vain. I will make them pay back in the future." Yu

pouted when she heard this, but she also believed that her man had a good brain and would not suffer any loss with his temper, so she went to get the wine.

☆ 75. Chapter 75 Yu's Brother

Chapter 75 Doctor

Hua, Yu's elder brother, watched the smoke coming out of the chimney of the Tian family, and waited for a long time. He thought that the meal of the Tian family must be ready, so he started to move slowly. When he got to the door of the Tian family, he pushed the door first, but it didn't work. He thought that this person really didn't want to open the door when he invited people to dinner. He knocked on the door hard, but didn't say anything, fearing that the people in the room would ignore him if he made a sound.

Everyone in the room had just sat around the table and hadn't picked up their chopsticks when they heard the door being knocked. They looked at each other and wondered who would choose the right time to do this.

Tian Jinduo walked out and said, "I'll go see who it is."

Aunt Tian said, "If you have bad intentions, don't be polite!"

Tian Jinduo turned around and smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry."

Doctor Hua heard Tian Jinduo asking questions from inside the door, so he smiled and said, "Jinduo, it's me, your uncle Hua! Open the door and let me in! It's not even dark yet, why did you lock the door? Are you afraid that someone will come to your house for dinner?" When

Tian Jinduo heard that it was Doctor Hua, he frowned and was unwilling to open the door. , without even a polite word, he asked directly: "What are you doing here?"

Doctor Hua knocked on the door again and said: "Come in, open the door first and then we can talk, otherwise what's the point of talking behind the door?"

Tian Daqiang still couldn't sit still, and when he came out and heard Doctor Hua's words, he opened the door and asked: "Doctor Hua, what are you doing here?"

Tian Daqiang thought that Yu would definitely complain to Doctor Hua when she returned, but Doctor Hua came here with a smile on his face and a jar of wine in his hand. What was he doing here? Was he not here to apologize? Just as he was thinking this, he heard Doctor Hua really start to apologize on behalf of his wife.

"The troublesome girl in my family went back and told me about it, and I scolded her. We are all from the same village, how can she be like that? She can't control her big mouth and offends everyone. It really gives me a headache. Look, she is mad at me and doesn't even cook for me. So I brought a jar of wine to your house to apologize to you and to bother you for a bite. I know you are having a dinner party today and you must have cooked a lot of food. Brother Daqiang, you won't coax me out, will you?" Doctor Hua

said with a smile, thinking that as long as the Tian family didn't want to completely break up with him, they would definitely not coax him away. He was the only doctor in the village, and unless they never needed him again, they would not offend him completely.

Tian Jinduo was young and hot-tempered. He got angry when he thought of what his mother had just said, and said unhappily, "Uncle Hua, this is our family's dinner, outsiders can't come in. You'd better take your wine, you can exchange it for food anywhere. You don't have to apologize on behalf of your wife, just ask her to stay away from us in the future."

Hua Langzhong scolded Tian Jinduo for being ignorant in his heart. The smile on his face faded a little, and he said to Tian Daqiang, "Look, this kid is still angry! We have been neighbors for many years, and we have had many bumps in the past. Why can't we get through this time? I know that Brother Ji and Ji He are all in there. My wife offended them just now. At least let me go in and apologize to them!"

Tian Daqiang was reluctant to let Hua Langzhong come in, but to be honest, he was not willing to offend Hua Langzhong completely. Not to mention that he was a doctor, who might need him for an emergency someday in the future. He just said that this man was also a bad guy, and if he made him angry, there was no telling how he would think of ways to cheat them. With this in mind, he let Doctor Hua in, thinking that he would not be allowed to stay for long anyway, so he could just bear with it.

Doctor Hua walked in with a smile, followed by Tian Jinduo with a stern face and Tian Daqiang with a frown.

Doctor Hua apologized to Ji Dafa and the others again, put the wine on the table, opened the wine jar without saying goodbye, and filled the bowls on the table that had not been filled with wine.

You can't hit a smiling person, so no matter how unwilling they were, they had to let Doctor Hua stay.

Doctor Hua first congratulated the Tian family on not having to marry Taohong, and then congratulated Ji Qing on his improvement. He also took Ji Qing's pulse and was surprised to find that Ji Qing's condition had indeed improved as he looked. Although he was smiling, he felt very sorry in his heart, thinking that now that Ji Qing was cured, he would no longer get medicine from him in the future, and it was a pity that he had lost another source of income.

Zhang heard Doctor Hua also say that Ji He's health was fine. Although she no longer believed in Doctor Hua's medical skills, she was still smiling and excited. She thought her son was finally well. She was even more grateful to Ji He. She thought it was all thanks to Ji He who sent her such good medicine. Otherwise, how could she be here today?

Doctor Hua heard Zhang thank Ji He and thought what did this have to do with Ji He? Seeing Ji Dafa stopping Zhang, he felt that there was something going on. He was itching to ask, but in order not to be disliked, he did not ask, thinking that there would be opportunities in the future.

"Ji He, I heard that you went to Landlord Jiang's house a few days ago? How is Young Master Jiang? Is your eyes better?" Doctor Hua asked.

Ji He said calmly, "Master Jiang is a man of good fortune, and he will surely recover."

Jiang Xing smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. I am just concerned. This is the first time I have seen such an injury, so I am so concerned. Alas, think about how unfortunate the Jiang landlord's family is. The eldest master was in poor health, and the second master finally got better, but something like this happened. Fortunately, he met you, Ji He, so he didn't lose his life. After all, you are the lifesaver of the second master Jiang. If you go to the Jiang family again in the future, don't forget to say a few good words for your second uncle, and tell them to come to the village to find me if they have a minor illness, and come back to me if they have a serious illness." It's much closer to our village than to run to the town."

Tian Jinduo had been eating quietly. When he heard this, he looked up and said, "Landlord Jiang treats his two sons as his heart and soul. Why would he invite a country doctor?"

Doctor Hua smiled and said, "What if he's in a hurry? It's good to even just put a name in front of them. Ji He, don't forget, if you help me ask, I will only charge you for the medicine in the future."

Ji He thought to himself, how dare I ask you to treat a disease? He even treats people who are not sick as if they are sick. It was thanks to him that we broke off the relationship. This man is so shameless. He dares to come here and say this when he does something bad. It's true that the humblest people are invincible! Adding up the new and old grudges, Ji He thought he would feel bad if he didn't deal with this man! Since he came to the door himself, he would feel embarrassed to let him go, which is the arrangement of God!

"Okay, I will definitely tell Landlord Jiang if I have a chance, but I can't control what Landlord Jiang is planning." Ji He said to Doctor Hua, thinking that he should give a little sweet date before the big stick, since he couldn't eat the sweet date anyway, so he just waved it in front of him.

Doctor Hua was very surprised when he heard that Ji He actually agreed. He thought that Ji He was still a little naive. Look, he just said a few nice words and he gave in. It seems that if he works harder in the future, he will definitely be able to get more benefits from him. This kid has been so lucky recently that he is jealous, so it's just right to take advantage of him!

Doctor Hua thanked him repeatedly and said a lot of nice things.

Ji Dafa and others looked at Ji He and didn't say anything. They thought that Ji He said he would tell the Jiang family, but who knows if he would tell them. After Doctor Hua left, they must tell him not to worry about it. Zhang Xiaoyu knew Ji He and wondered what Ji He was thinking? He couldn't wait to know.

"What are you thanking me for? It's just a matter of opening your mouth." Ji He said with a smile, took a bite of the food, drank a sip of wine, turned to Tian Daqiang and said, "Godfather, I'll trouble you to help me look for more grapes. I'll buy as many as I can, the sooner the better."

"Okay, I got it." Tian Daqiang agreed, wondering how Ji He would say this to him, but as soon as he saw Doctor Hua, he understood a little.

Doctor Hua was very happy, and when he heard what Ji He said, he immediately asked, "Grapes? Buy by the tree? Ji He, do you want to buy grape seedlings? It's not easy to grow grape seedlings at this time. Besides, do you need to buy them? Can't you just go to other people's houses and ask for a few?"

Ji He smiled and said, "What I want is a grape tree, the kind that bears fruit, and I want more than one, the more the better. Doctor Hua, do you know anyone who has grape trees?"

When Doctor Hua heard this, he immediately said, "Yes! My eldest brother-in-law has it! He has several acres of mountain land, and there are many grape vines growing on the edge. However, the fruits are not of much use, and they can't be sold much every year. In the end, they are all eaten by children and birds. Not only that, but they also steal the water from the land. It's hard to grow any crops on such a good mountain land. He is worried about it! Do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, I will ask him to sell it to you at a lower price."

Doctor Hua thought to himself that this was really a pillow when he was sleepy. He just heard his wife nagging him about the grapes at his eldest brother-in-law's house a few days ago, and today Ji He wanted to buy grape vines. Since he wanted to buy them, he could sell them to him. He could help his eldest brother-in-law and get benefits from Ji He at the same time, killing two birds with one stone! As for whether the grape vines could survive after being transplanted, he didn't care. Anyway, it wasn't him who forced Ji He to buy them!

The fact is that Yu's eldest brother had taken a fancy to a piece of vacant land on the mountain that could be used to grow crops, and wanted to occupy it for himself. He cleverly planted grape seedlings on it, but others didn't know that he had planted them. He only said that he had planted them when the grapes grew up. Someone discovered his intention to occupy the land and went to the village chief. The village chief naturally couldn't tolerate such behavior, and said that he had to either buy the land or give up the land, and of course, give up the grape vines on the land. The

village chief of Yu's mother's family was also a powerful person. He set the price of this land very high, comparable to the price of ordinary good farmland. Yu's eldest brother was naturally unhappy, and he couldn't beat the whole village. In a fit of anger, he planned to sell the grape vines, but who would buy grape vines these days? If anyone wanted to eat grapes, they could just grow them themselves, unless they sold them to towns and cities and sold them to those wealthy families to plant in their gardens. He had no other choice but to ask his sister for help.

Yu's elder brother was anxious and told everyone who asked him. As a result, people in Qingshan Village also knew about it, including Ji Dafa. He just told Ji He about this matter, and Ji He told Doctor Hua. In fact, even if Ji He wanted to buy those grapes, he had never thought of going through Doctor Hua before, and would go directly to Yu's family. But now Doctor Hua came to his door and wanted to plot against them, so he would find him a job. When his wine makes money, if Yu's elder brother doesn't think that the grapes are sold at a loss, then Doctor Hua is lucky. If he thinks so, then Doctor Hua deserves it!

Ji He thought about the sporadic memories of Yu's family in his memory, and felt that Doctor Hua would most likely blame him.

Thinking of this, Ji He was in a good mood, smiled and thanked Doctor Hua, and discussed with him when to go to see the grape trees.

Doctor Hua finished his meal happily and drank a few glasses of wine. Seeing that no one except Ji He talked to him much, he was no longer annoying, so he stopped while he was ahead and said goodbye after the meal.

"Hezi, what are you planning now? You're still smiling at that Hua guy. He treated you like that. You should have spitted in his face! You must have something wrong. Tell me now!" Tian Jinduo asked. "

That's right. Tell me now, Hezi brother!" Ji Lan urged.

Ji He smiled and said, "I don't believe that none of you have guessed it."

Ji Dafa, Tian Daqiang, Zhang Xiaoyu and Ji Qing all laughed. They had guessed it. Zhang and Aunt Tian were still a little puzzled. Ji Lan and Tian Jinduo were anxious. Ji Lan asked his brother directly. Tian Jinduo listened with his eyes wide open. After Ji Qing smiled and told Ji He what he was thinking and Ji He nodded, they both clapped their hands happily and said that even if Yu's brother from her mother's family had no other thoughts, they would still add fuel to the fire!

☆ 76. Chapter 76 Let's go see the grapevines together

Chapter 76 Let's Go See the Grape Trees Together

When the doctor returned home, he told Yu that Ji He was going to buy grape trees, and said, "Ji He said he would go and take a look, and if it works, he would buy them all. You see, my trip was not in vain this time, was it? I finally got rid of those rotten grapes of your eldest brother. Otherwise, when his land was taken back, the grape trees would not be able to be sold."

"Oh! This is really great! My head hurts when I think of those grapes. Now it's good. As long as I sell them, I can make a profit of some copper coins, and let those bastards who want to take advantage of me be furious!"

Yu was beaming with joy. She knew that those people in her mother's village were eyeing those acres of grapes in her mother's village. They said that they either had to dig them up or buy those grape trees for five hundred coins. Ugh! They pretended they had never seen five hundred coins! Those grape trees are full of fruits. If they are sold, they can earn more than 500 coins a year. You just want to take advantage of them. You are so cruel. After selling the grape trees this time, you will bury a pile of broken rocks in the land to make them suffer!

Doctor Hwa said, "That's enough. Your brother-in-law and his family will have to live in that village in the future. Besides, this time the whole village is pushing the village chief to come forward. Don't be so hostile. He is not as capable as me, your man."

Hwa Lang thought to himself that his brother-in-law was the same. He didn't have much ability but always wanted to take advantage of others. He really thought that if he planted some grape seedlings in the mountain, the mountain land would belong to his family. It was really unrealistic. Even as the only doctor in Qingshan Village, most of the villagers respected him, but he didn't dare to occupy the land in the mountain!

"Bah! You old thing with a thick skin like a shoe sole! You are so arrogant!" Yu listened to Doctor Hua's boasting and said with a squint. Then, as if she thought of something, she asked, "Boss, why did Ji He buy so many grape trees? Even if this thing is edible, it can't be used as food. Why did he buy this? You can find out. Ji He has been very lucky recently. If he buys grapes from us and makes money on his own, won't we lose money?"

Doctor Hua said, "I asked. Ji He wants to buy grapes and plant them in the farm across the river."

"The farm across the river? Isn't that the farm of Mr. Yan?" Yu curled her lips and said, "Ji He is so lucky. He actually hooked up with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan asked him to help with this matter. Who knows how much benefit he can get. Otherwise, let's go directly to the Yan family to do this business. Maybe we can make more money, so that that kid won't get it easy. When I was beaten today, he just watched by the side and didn't help!"

Yu was inspired.

Doctor Hua said quickly, "Don't do that! Even if Ji He wants to curry favor with Mr. Yan, he won't be greedy for much money. Why are you jealous? I can't break up with him! Besides, since Mr. Yan gave it to him, why would he go directly to buy grape vines? When he finds out that we have surpassed Ji He, he might even look down on me. We can't lose the big picture for the small!"

Yu snorted unwillingly.

Doctor Hua said, "Why are you snorting? Are you stupid? Anyway, Ji He is spending the Yan family's money and is not short of money. He can just ask for more money when selling the grape vines."

Yu smiled when she heard this and calculated how much money would be appropriate.

In the small house at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a small bamboo stick in his hand to tease two puppies on the ground. His smile was bright and gentle, and his watery and clear eyes did not lose their color under the not-so-bright light of the oil lamp, attracting Ji He's attention like two gems.

Ji He was lying on the bed, half of his body inside, his head resting on the edge of the bed with his hands, just looking at Zhang Xiaoyu's face, and talking to Zhang Xiaoyu while looking at him.

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Do you think that if Doctor Hua knew that the land across the river was yours, would he be furious? He must think you cheated him."

Ji He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "How could I cheat him? I said I wanted to buy grape trees and plant them across the river. This is the truth. I didn't say anything else. He didn't think that it was my territory. What does it have to do with me? Do I have to tell him that it is my place?"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the smirk on Ji He's mouth and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that he smiled even more beautifully, Ji He reached out and held his hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you look really good when you smile."

Zhang Xiaoyu blushed and said, "Yeah, you look good when you smile too."

"Let's not talk about that annoying person, let's do something more important! For example, give birth to a fat baby who smiles as beautifully as us?"

Ji He reached out and pulled Zhang Xiaoyu, and the two overlapped each other.

The two puppies on the ground were having fun with Zhang Xiaoyu, but they were hit on the head by the fallen bamboo sticks. They barked twice, and when they saw that the two people on the bed ignored them, they turned to look at the crab, and saw that the crab took one of Ji He's shoes and ran to the nest. It tilted its little head and took one of Ji Xiaoyu's shoes and ran away. The two puppies lay on the mat, playing with shoes while listening to the strange noises made by their two owners.

The next day, Zhang Xiaoyu got up late. When he got up, Ji He had already prepared the meal. He quickly put on his clothes and said, "Why didn't you call me?"

"You were tired yesterday, take a rest." Ji He said with a smile, kissed the corner of Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth, "We'll continue in the evening after you rest."

Zhang Xiaoyu pushed him away, thinking that this man was really unruly sometimes, and he blushed and went to wash.

Ji He smiled and thought that his little husband was so cute. He still blushed shyly because of his eyes and words. He was so cute.

Just after they finished their meal, they heard someone outside calling, "Ji He! Xiao Yu! Open the door, I'm your Aunt Hua!"

Zhang Xiao Yu said, "Is this person here to talk about the grapes? It's really early."

Ji He said, "This shows that they are really anxious to sell those grape trees. This is a good thing. Let's go and don't let her in."

Zhang Xiao Yu nodded, followed Ji He out of the house, locked the door, and then patted the heads of the two puppies, asking them to take good care of the house, and then walked to the door.

Yu thought that the fence of Ji He's yard was well-kept and made quite high. The thorny flowers growing outside were lush and grew better than those she had seen. Ji He really knows how to grow things. Whatever he grows grows well. It would be great if she had this ability. How could she know that Ji He had a spiritual spring? In order to prevent thieves, he even watered the thorny flowers with spiritual springs, so of course they grew well.

Seeing the door open, Yu was about to step in when she saw Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu coming out. Before she could see the courtyard clearly, they closed the door again. Yu could only smile and say, "Ji He, Auntie heard from your Uncle Hua that you were planning to buy a grape tree and planned to go today. I'll take you there!"

Ji He said, "Thank you, let's go."

Yu thought that she was not going to let her in. She was also anxious to take them to her brother's house, so she didn't pay much attention. She turned around and took the lead. While walking, she boasted to them about how good the grapes in her brother's house were, and how sweet the grapes were, just to make them pay more money.

Everyone in the village got up early, especially in summer, when everyone rushed to work in the morning when it was not hot. The three of them walking together naturally caught the eyes of many people, and they were all very surprised. Why did Hua Langzhong's wife get together with Ji He and his wife? Although they didn't have any big hatred before, they also had some hatred!

"Hezi! Where are you going? Why are you walking with Aunt Hua?" Zhuangzi ran over to ask, thinking that the Hua couple are not good people. Seeing her smiling foxy look, she would not think of harming Ji He and the others again!

Ji He knew Zhuangzi's intention and could tell from his expression. He patted his shoulder and said, "I plan to buy some grape trees. Aunt Hua's brother from her natal family has some at home, so Xiao Yu and I will go and have a look. You go ahead and do your work. When I really decide to buy some, I will ask you to help dig up the grape trees and I will pay you for it!"

"Buy grape trees? What for? If you want to eat grapes, can't you just plant a few yourself? Why spend money?" Zhuangzi asked puzzled.

Yu said, "Zhuangzi, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense! Ji He bought the grape vines to plant them across the river. Ji He, if you want to find temporary workers to dig up the grape vines, my eldest brother's family has strong laborers, so you should ask them to come first, right? After all, the grape vines were sold by their family."

Zhuangzi immediately said, "No need! It's just digging up the grape vines, right? Why hire temporary workers? Ji He will help you dig them for free!"

Zhuangzi didn't want Yu to take advantage of Ji He.

Yu raised her eyebrows and was about to scold Zhuangzi when Ji He spoke.

Ji He said: "Zhuangzi, when I said I wanted to hire temporary workers, I meant temporary workers. The trees will be planted on the farm across the river. Do you need money to plant trees for the owner of the farm? It's settled. I'll call you when the time comes. Okay, let's go. You go to work! Aunt Hua, let's go!"

"Hey! Let's go! Ji He, my brother and nephew from my mother's side can all work. Let them help dig together!" Aunt Hua continued.

Zhuangzi watched them go away. Thinking that they were working for the people across the river, and that the rich family would pay for their work, he would naturally not refuse. He was very happy to think that he could make money. Those who farm in the countryside would also do temporary work when they were not busy, but temporary work was not that easy to find. Naturally, they would not miss the opportunity to make money. When he returned to the field and told his father about it, his father was also very happy. He kept praising Ji He for his promising future and asked him to get closer to Ji He in the future, so that he would definitely make more money.

"Alas! Ji Dacai's family is not so lucky. Maybe in the future, Ji He will enjoy a good life, and their family can only watch with envy! It's really a debt!"

Zhuangzi's father looked at Ji Dacai not far away, shook his head with emotion, and looked at his son, and suddenly felt satisfied, thinking that although this son was not very smart, he could finally be filial to himself, which was much better than Ji Dacai having three sons like that!

Ji Dacai took Ji Xiao and Ji Shun to the field, and naturally saw this scene. Although he couldn't hear what Zhuangzi and his father said, he knew that there must be good things by looking at the smiles on their faces. He couldn't help but sighed, thinking about seeing Ji He and his husband dressed very respectably, and seemed to be taller and stronger than before. Could it be that as the villagers said, he had good luck as soon as he broke off his relationship with them? He Ji He is the nemesis of their Ji family, and their Ji family is also the nemesis of Ji He? If so, this God is really a joke!

☆ 77. Chapter 77 Reconciliation

Chapter 77 Reconciliation

Ji Xiao snorted, "Dad, look at Ji He, we are right here and he doesn't even look at us, what an ungrateful person!"

Ji Dacai was also unhappy and felt that Ji He was heartless, but still said, "He is still in a bad mood, maybe he will be fine in the future, don't scold him."

Ji Xiao said, "Bad temper? How dare he be in a bad mood? He just flattered his uncle's family and now treats his uncle as his own father. He is as conscienceless as his Shuang'er. Zhang Xiaoyu is so filial to his godparents! He doesn't care about all the tragic things that happened in the Zhang family. The Zhang family treated Zhang Xiaoyu well, they raised him to such a age, and even after his engagement was broken off, they found him a husband's family who is an official. This is a great blessing for Shuang'er, which she can't even ask for! He is so unwilling to hate him, he is really as conscienceless as Ji He, they are really a perfect match!"

"Why do you talk so much? Why don't you look so energetic when you are working!" Ji Dacai glared at Ji Xiao.

"Dad, do you use the same amount of energy to talk as to work?" Ji Xiao muttered in retort. Ji Dacai sighed

and said, "Your uncle and I are brothers. It's a good thing that he takes care of Ji He, and it's only natural for Ji He to be filial to him. Alas, our two families have been too strained over the years."

Ji Xiao suddenly asked, "By the way, Dad, Ji Qing is well now. Do you think our two families can be reconciled again? I think you also want to reconcile with your uncle, don't you?"

Ji Xiao thought that Ji Qing was smart and might have a bright future, so he might be able to benefit from it.

Ji Shun's face suddenly turned very bad when he heard what Ji Xiao said. Ji

Dacai glanced at Ji Shun and frowned slightly. Back then, Ji Qing said with certainty that it was Ji Shun who harmed him. It was because of his words that Ji Shun could not study and had no chance of taking the imperial examination, and the two families ended up in such a quarrel. However, over the years, he has been thinking about this matter constantly. He thought that Ji Qing was an upright and steady child. If he was not sure, he would not say nonsense. He gradually began to doubt whether it was his second son who harmed Ji Qing. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too impulsive to have conflicts with his eldest brother's family. His resentment that his second son could no longer pursue a career in politics had almost disappeared.

Now that Ji Qing's illness has recovered, can their two families reconcile?

Ji Xiao guessed his father's thoughts as soon as he saw his father's face, and said with a smile: "Dad, I don't think uncle actually blames you that much. If he blamed you, would he still take care of Ji He? Now that Ji Qing's illness has recovered, the resentment of uncle and others must have almost dissipated! As long as we show him a little bit that we want to get along with their family again, we will definitely be as close as before!"

Ji Dacai thought about the scene of their brothers getting along with each other, and his heart was filled with emotion. It was really uncomfortable for him not to interact with his eldest brother for these years.

Ji Xiao added fuel to the fire and said, "Dad, you actually feel bad about breaking off the relationship with your third brother, right? If you can get along with your eldest uncle's family again, the relationship with your third brother will be eased. Think about it, even if your third brother and our family are in conflict, but he can get along with your eldest uncle's family in peace, and we can definitely use your eldest uncle's family to extend our family affection to your third brother!"

Ji Xiao started calling his third brother again, no longer calling him Ji He Ji He, as if the person who called Ji He an ungrateful person just now was not him. He thought that when the time comes, let Ji He give the money to your eldest uncle's family, and then they will take the money from your eldest uncle's family. This way, it would be the same as taking your eldest uncle's money, and it wouldn't be unlucky, right? He was very proud of his cleverness.

Ji Dacai was really tempted.

Ji Shun snorted and said, "You have a good idea, but I'm afraid that the ungrateful person you just mentioned doesn't care about your family affection at all. And my uncle's family, they hate me to death! How can they agree to reconcile? You still want me to apologize? I won't go! My future has been ruined. If it weren't for Ji Qing, I might have been very successful. How could I be a farmer in the fields like now?" "

Okay, second brother, no matter how wronged you are, you have to bear it. Do you want to be a farmer all your life? If Ji Qing can really have a good future, it will be good for you! As long as they feel that you have been wronged and wronged, how can they treat you badly in the future?" Ji Xiao advised.

Ji Shun gritted his teeth and thought that Ji Xiao was right. He was really tired of being a farmer!

The three men began to fantasize about reconciling with Ji Dafa's family. After Ji Qing became rich, he would help them live a good life, and then use them to get money from Ji He. How wonderful life would be.

Ji He didn't know that he had attracted so much attention from the Ji family's grandfather just by passing by. He was walking on a country road with Zhang Xiaoyu and Yu, admiring the scenery along the road, listening to Yu's chatter, and answering Yu's inquiries very concisely.

On the way, they met a donkey cart going their way, and the three of them took the cart, so they saved a lot of time and arrived at Yu's mother's village, which was also Yu Huaihua's mother's village.

Zhang Xiaoyu pointed at the mulberry tree in the village head and said, "Ahe, look at the tree! I picked up mulberry in that tree when I was young, it was sweet, but it would be black after eating." Yu Shi smiled and said,

"Oh! I remember it! Obviously Li Niang, she droohed her clothes by herself. What did I do to your head? I can pick it up for you. You just need to open your mouth to eat, don't be afraid of soaring your hands and clothes. "" Okay . Yu looked at the couple with envy, thinking that her own dead man had never loved her so much, Zhang Xiaoyu was really lucky. Yu said: "It just so happens that my brother also has a few mulberry trees. If you want, you can sell them together! They will soon bear fruit, which is more convenient than waiting for a few years for you to grow them yourself!" Ji He smiled, thinking that Yu really couldn't forget about making money. "Zhang Xiaoyu? Why are you here? Are you asking us to intercede for you?" Ji He was about to speak when he heard someone calling Zhang Xiaoyu's name in front of him, with a somewhat disdainful tone. He frowned. Xiaoyu is his husband now, and no one can bully him! Ji turned his head and saw a woman standing in front of a house. Although she was old, she still had charm. She was dressed neatly and had a gold hairpin on her head, but it looked like the hair was covered with gold. The woman was holding a basin in her hand and came out to pour water. Ji He immediately guessed that this was Yu Huaihua's family, otherwise they wouldn't have said such things to Zhang Xiaoyu. He took Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Let's go. Don't bother with irrelevant people." "I didn't intend to bother with them." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile. He was living a good life now and really didn't intend to get angry with the Zhang family and their relatives. The woman was Yu Huaihua's sister-in-law. When she heard them talking like this, she raised a pair of thin eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Yu. Yu smiled and said, "People from the Huaishu family, you'd better save your breath. Xiao Yu didn't come to you to beg for mercy today as you said. Xiao Yu is living a very comfortable life now, and he won't go back even if your sister-in-law begs him. This is his man, and he is not someone who can be bullied. If you don't want to embarrass yourself, go back quickly! Let me tell you, I invited them here today, and if you dare to make trouble, I will never let you go!" Yu was obviously still somewhat prestigious in her mother's village. After hearing what Yu said, the woman snorted, holding a basin and twisting her waist to go back into the door. But after a while, she still leaned out of the door and looked in the direction the three people left, wondering what Yu was doing bringing these two to the village?

Yu said to Ji He and the others, "Just ignore her. Humph, one of the reasons why my brother's family can't take over the mountain land is because of their troubles! It's just jealousy! Bah, if you have the ability, go and open up a piece of land yourself. You are lazy and want to take advantage of others. You are really a wicked thing!"

Ji He thought that it was quite appropriate to say this to her own family. Let's not talk about her first. Let's talk about Doctor Hua who likes to take advantage and cheat people.

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said to Yu, "Aunt Hua, let's go and take a look at those grapes."

"Okay! Okay! Let's go quickly!"

Yu took them to her brother's house. It happened that her brother Yu Kaoshan was at home. When he heard Yu say that the two people were going to buy grape trees, he immediately smiled and took them up the mountain to see the grape trees while praising his own grape trees.

During this journey, Ji He could see that Yu Kaoshan was not a real person, and he was also calculating and greedy. Thinking that he would make money from grapes in the future, this man would probably beat his chest and stamp his feet. He did not sympathize with him, and thought that it was the most interesting for him to complain to Doctor Hua. Because of this, he praised Doctor Hua several times, saying that it was because of Doctor Hua that he came to buy his grape vines, and asked him to thank Doctor Hua.

Yu felt very proud in front of her brother, thinking that this was the help of her man!

Seeing those grape vines, Ji He nodded in his heart, very satisfied. It was not because these grapes grew so well, but because these grapes grew just so-so, and if they grew just so-so, he could lower the price. When he bought them back, he would water them with the spiritual spring water a little bit, and these grapes would grow well, so there was no need to buy particularly good grape vines.

Yu Kaoshan looked at Ji He's expressionless face, wondering whether this boy was satisfied or not. He estimated the price in his mind, wondering if he could agree to it. Thinking of what his sister told him, this boy was buying grape vines for a wealthy family, so he must not be short of money, he became bolder and prepared to ask for a high price.

☆ 78. Chapter 78 Deal

Chapter 78 Deal

"Nephew, my grapes are great. They are plentiful, sweet, and big in size. You will definitely not lose out if you buy them! I heard you bought quite a lot. Don't worry, I will not let you get hurt and will give you a fair price! Ten taels of silver for this bunch of grapes! What do you think?"

Yu Kaoshan said. He felt guilty even when he said the last price.

Yu's heart skipped a beat. He stared at his elder brother with wide eyes, thinking how dare he ask that! Ten taels of silver? How can this bunch of grapes cost ten taels of silver? ! They are not useful wood, nor are they edible food! Ten taels of silver, how long will it take a wealthy family to save up ten taels of silver? Ten taels of silver can buy two acres of decent land! It can buy a cow, and build a few brick houses! It can find wives for both sons!

But Yu was also excited, thinking that if she could really sell it for ten taels of silver, her brother would make a profit, and she might also get a share...

Ji He thought, is this man taking her for a fool? It turned out to be Yu's brother.

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a stern face: "Ten taels of silver is the real price? Uncle Yu, do you really think we are being taken advantage of? We are also farmers in the countryside, how much do we know these grapes are worth? If you don't want to sell it, just say so, and we will leave immediately, just as if we came here for a walk!"

Ji He smiled and said, "That's right."

Ji He thought her husband's stern face was really cute.

Yu Kaoshan knew that they would not agree immediately, so he said with a smile: "Don't be angry, uncle, I don't want to cheat you, just look at it yourself, I have more than three acres of grapes! There must be three or four hundred plants, and each of them has fruit. The fruit of this plant can be sold for dozens of coins every year. I don't count the grape vines themselves, but only the money from the grapes sold in a year. Three or four hundred grapes must be worth more than ten taels of silver, right? Ten taels of silver is still too little for me! Don't you think so?"

Yu also smiled and said: "That's right! This is still too little! Ji He, Xiao Yu, you are buying... There are quite a lot of grape trees, not just one or two, nor ten or eight. Ten taels of silver sounds like a lot, but it's actually not much! It's like you don't think eating three steamed buns a day is a lot, but a thousand steamed buns sound like a lot, but that's enough for a year! Don't you think so? Besides, if you want to buy so many grapes to plant on the farm, you must have the money, so hurry up and finish the job, that's the most important thing! "

Yu's last words meant to persuade Ji He not to save money for the Yan family. The Yan family didn't need the money, they only looked at how fast Ji He did things. She thought that in order to please Mr. Yan, Ji He might not care about the money.

Ji He was too lazy to waste time talking to them. He held up three fingers and said, "Ten cents for a grape plant. Will you sell it to us? If not, we'll leave."

"Ten cents?!" Yu screamed, "Ji He, why don't you go and rob? Where can you buy a fruit-bearing grape tree for more than ten cents? Others can sell a crop of grapes for dozens or hundreds of cents, but you want to buy it for ten cents?

You might as well dream about it!" Yu Kaoshan also frowned and said, "My two nephews, think about it carefully. No one else can grow so many fruit-bearing grapes at once like me. The price I offer is already very cost-effective."

Ji He pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile and said, "If you are not happy, I'll leave. This is the price."

The Yu brothers and sisters were entangled in a dilemma. Yu Kaoshan's brows were furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death. Yu approached Ji He and them and whispered to them that if they paid more money, they could also make more money.

Zhang Xiaoyu continued to say with a stern face: "We won't do that kind of thing, Aunt Hua, we only come here to see you. Think about it carefully, we can buy enough grapes anywhere, whether you can sell these grapes is another matter."

These words hit the sore spot of the Yu family brothers and sisters. Indeed, the grape vines are not easy to sell, and the villagers forced them to make a decision. If they don't deal with these grapes, the villagers will get a bargain!

"Can you raise the price again? Ten cents is too little!"

"Not a small amount. It's not easy to transplant grape vines in this weather. Who knows how many will die, and how many ten cents will be wasted."

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips while speaking, making a distressed expression. Although he knew that whatever Ji He planted would survive, he was still a little worried. It was not that he was worried about losing money, but that it would affect Ji He's winemaking. Ji He treated this matter as a big deal.

Yu Kaoshan frowned even more. Zhang Xiaoyu was telling the truth. It was not easy for transplanted grape seedlings to survive, especially in this weather. Even if they survived, it was not certain how many grapes they would produce this year. Forget it, let's sell it. It's better than the money given by the village, and it can also vent the anger!

"Okay! Sell it at the price you said!"

After saying this, Yu Kaoshan was relieved. He thought that this was a business with no capital. The grape seedlings were all free at the beginning. It only took some effort to water them, and he could make a few taels of silver. It was not bad! Although these acres of mountain land were not available, the silver earned could buy an acre of land. Thinking of this, it felt more reasonable.

Yu was a little disappointed, but Ji He praised her and her head of the family in front of her brother. Yu Kaoshan also said that it was thanks to them this time. She was happy in her heart. Although she didn't make a lot of money, she made her eldest brother happy and remembered the good things between them. That was enough!

Seeing their brother and sister thanking each other for being modest, Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at each other and smiled. They hoped that they would keep this mentality after they knew that grapes could be used to make wine.

Ji He and Yu Kaoshan agreed to bring people to dig up the grape vines in the afternoon, and pay them according to the number of vines.

Yu Shi did not go back to the village with Ji He and the others. She went back to her parents' home, and she did such a good deed, so she naturally had to stay at her parents' home to receive the money. Besides, Ji He would not pay her until the afternoon. If she waited until then, she might be able to get some money. If she went back now, she would get nothing.

Back in the village, Ji He and Ji Dafa talked about this matter and discussed how to transport the grapes to the farm. It was already summer, and the grape vines had been growing for several years. They had deep roots and vines. It was not easy to move one vine, let alone hundreds of them. This was a big project!

Ji Dafa and Tian Daqiang went to the village to borrow cows and carts. One of the cows belonged to the village chief. Naturally, the village chief Lin Yongxin also knew about this and readily lent it.

"Why don't you use a mule cart? Let Ajun's father drive you there!"

Ji Jun's family had a mule cart. Although they lived a good life, they usually used the mule cart to pick up people and make some money. The most important thing was that Lin Yongxin thought that it was Ji Jun who pushed Ji He into the river, which caused a bad relationship between the two families. It was always a good thing to have more exchanges, not to mention that they were working for the farm across the river, which was the farm of the Yan family.

Ji Dafa was not really dissatisfied with Ji Jun. He also knew that Ji Jun was not a bad person. He should not have pushed Ji He into the river on purpose. They were from the same village and had the same surname, so they were also related. After these days, Ji He had changed his personality since he fell into the river and lived a good life. The dissatisfaction in his heart gradually dissipated. So after hearing what Lin Yongxin said, he did not refuse, thinking that with more cars and more manpower, it would be more important to get those grapes back as soon as possible!

When Ji Jun's father Ji Dasheng heard that he was asked to work, he immediately agreed after hearing what Lin Yongxin said, and drove the mule cart out.

Ji Qiao pouted and said, "That Ji He is really lucky. He got involved with the Yan family and can now get a job from Mr. Yan. I haven't even been to that farm, but he has! Brother, can you take me to see that farm in the future? Why did they all go there but I haven't?"

Ji Jun smiled and said, "Wait until there is a chance."

Zhang Lan immediately smiled and said, "Cousin, then you must take me there when the time comes. I want to see it too!"

Ji Jun smiled and said nothing.

Ji Qiao pushed Zhang Lan and said, "I'm thirsty. Go get me a bowl of water with sugar!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhang Lan said with a smile, and left quickly. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face faded. She thought, drink, drink, aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death! You don't do anything, but just order me around. When you get married in the future, you'll see how your husband's family will dislike you! And brother Ji Jun, obviously he is also his younger brother, but he doesn't care about Ji Qiao when he orders him around. My mother still wants me to rely on him in the future, can I rely on him?

Ji Jun spoke a few more words to Ji Qiao gently, and then went back to the house. I heard that Ji Qing's illness has been cured, so he will take the exam for a scholar next year. Even if he has been ill for many years, he should not be underestimated. Ji Jun thought that if a good person like him was suppressed by a person who had been ill for many years, it would be too embarrassing, so he must work harder and not let Ji Qing be better than him!

There were 326 grape trees in total, and each tree was worth 10 coins, so the total amount was 3,260 coins. In addition, there were two mulberry trees that were growing well. Ji He rounded up the amount to 3,500 coins for Yu Kaoshan. Of course, it was not all copper coins, but some were silver and some were copper coins.

Yu Kaoshan was very happy to receive the money. People in the countryside usually used copper coins, and seeing silver was considered a lot of money. Now he had received more than three taels of silver at once! Yu said a few nice words on the side, and Yu Kaoshan, regardless of his wife's wide eyes, stuffed a small piece of silver into Yu's hand. Yu immediately smiled happily and told her sister-in-law that she would definitely work hard to win Zhang Li Niang from her village and marry her to her nephew. Only then did her sister-in-law smile a little.

Someone nearby happened to hear this and told it as a joke, which was heard by Zhang Xiaoyu and Ji He. Zhang Xiaoyu knew it was impossible. Zhang Li Niang was the only hope of the Zhang family now. The Zhang family would not marry her to the Yu family. Ji He also felt the same way. He felt that Zhang Li Niang would rather be a concubine than marry an ordinary country family. That woman was too ambitious. The only country family she could be attracted to was someone as promising as Ji Jun.

These grape trees were really hard to deal with. They could not be finished in one afternoon. The next day, they dug and transported them for most of the day before they were done. While they were digging and transporting these grapes, someone else was planting these grapes in the manor and building racks for them. It was not until dark that everything was cleaned up.

☆ 79. Chapter 79: Robbed

Chapter 79: Robbed

Ji He looked at the grapes. Although everyone was very careful, they still looked like they were destroyed. He thought that if there was no spiritual spring, he didn't know how many of these grape trees would survive.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood beside Ji He, a little worried, but he didn't say it out loud, and didn't show it on his face, for fear of affecting Ji He's mood. However, seeing Ji He's relaxed face, he thought that maybe he was really sure, and he had to have confidence in his husband. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoyu thought that he must take good care of these grapes, let these grapes grow strong and lush, and produce many sweet and big grapes this year!

"Don't worry, these grapes will definitely survive. I, your husband, can even take care of a flower as delicate as a peony, not to mention these grapes? You will have more grapes than you can eat."

Ji He held Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and said. Even if Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say anything or show it, he knew that he must be worried. In the past two days, many people have said some discouraging words. Those people thought that he helped Mr. Yan to buy the grape vines, saying that Mr. Yan had too much money and didn't care about the loss of these grapes. It seemed that most of these grapes would die. Even Ji Dafa and Tian Daqiang, who were older and more stable, couldn't hold their breath and persuaded him to stop the plan to buy grapes from other places. They said that these grapes should be planted first, and if it doesn't work, they can wait until the weather is not hot before transplanting them. At worst, they can make wine next year. Even they are worried, let alone the young Zhang Xiaoyu?

Ji He knew that Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say anything and didn't show any emotions because he supported him. He thought that it was a blessing from God to have such a partner after living for two lifetimes.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked into Ji He's eyes and said seriously, "It doesn't matter if we really lose money. It's just a few taels of silver. We can earn it back."

Ji He touched his nose and thought, is this just to comfort her? In fact, he still didn't believe that all the grapes could survive, right?

Tian Jinduo said to Ji He, "Hezi, we have planted so many. Do we still need to buy grapes? Is that enough?"

Ji He said, "Keep buying. If most of them die, I will have to buy more. Only by buying more can we keep more grapes alive. Don't be reluctant. It only cost us more than three taels to buy these grapes. Even if half of them die, we will only lose more than one tael. The profit from the remaining half will be a hundred or a thousand times the loss. With this calculation, would you rather continue to lose money or stop buying grapes to reduce the loss?"

Tian Jinduo gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I would like to keep buying!"

Ji He smiled and patted Tian Jinduo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't feel bad. I can afford the money I have now. Even if I spend it all, don't I still have this farm? Aren't there still those fields outside the farm? Are you afraid that I will starve to death?"

"Yeah, I'm really being too picky. You're not the Ji He who had nothing. You're a landlord!" Tian Jinduo touched his head and smiled. He was really not worried anymore.

Some rural families can't save much money in a year, and more than three taels of silver is a lot of money. Ji Dafa and Tian Jinduo are of course distressed, but after Ji He's advice, they all figured it out and continued to look for fruit-bearing grape trees.

The people of Qingshan Village went to help, and with Yu's big mouth, the news that Ji He helped the opposite village to buy grapes and plant grapes spread in the village. Everyone was very curious about why Yan Yuanwai planted so many grapes there. Later, someone said that Yan Yuanwai probably liked to watch the grapes one by one, just like some rich people like to watch the peach and pear blossoms one by one. Everyone thought that was the case, so they didn't ask more questions, and they were interested in Ji He's ability to help Yan Yuanwai do things. When they saw Ji He, they told him to remember them if there were any good things in the future.

Ji He smiled and agreed. Most of the people in this village are still very simple, and he was also very polite to these people.

"Ah He! Someone has entered the house!"

When the two returned home that day, Zhang Xiaoyu immediately said as soon as he saw the lock on the door that the lock had been opened.

Ji He frowned, found a stick nearby, pushed the door open and went in. He found that the door of the house and the shed were all open. What was there to be unclear about? A thief had broken in!

"And the shrimps and crabs were sent away."

Although Zhang Xiaoyu was shocked and angry, he thought that he was finally spared without the two puppies. Otherwise, there would not be enough people to kick them. If they were really kicked to death or injured, it would be really heartbreaking.

Ji He touched Zhang Xiaoyu's head and said, "Don't be afraid. We will live across the river today. It's too unsafe here."

Ji He thought to himself that it was fortunate that nothing had happened these days. Fortunately, no matter where he went, he would never let Zhang Xiaoyu stay at home alone. He was afraid of this day!

The two went to see the house first, avoiding the entrance to the house. There was a lot of grass ash scattered there, and there were several shoe prints on it. It must have been left by the thief.

Ji He was also worried about thieves, so every time before going out, he and Zhang Xiaoyu would hang a cloth bag inside the door. They were not afraid of opening the door, but people who didn't know would be covered with ash when they opened the door. Not only that, there was also some ash on the ground, and shoe prints would be left on it. Ji He thought that unless they were professional thieves, they would not pay attention to the footprints they left, especially after being covered with ash. This would be a clue.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Ji He went to the shed to check, but there was no one there. He also checked behind the house, but there was no one there either.

"Ah He, it's a good thing nothing was lost, but the food and grain left in our kitchen are all gone."

"All gone? That's good, I don't think the thief can run away!"

Ji He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, thinking that if you dare to steal from me and scare my husband, you must know the consequences!

Ji He lived here, and even though he had the spiritual spring, he was still very careful. He never bought much food at home, and most of it was hidden, leaving only some outside as decoration. These things were not used. In addition to the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, he added some medicine to the two or three bowls of rice noodles, which were medicines that could make people have diarrhea. He thought that if the thieves really stole these things, they would not sell them, so they would definitely eat them at home. At that time, as long as they had diarrhea, it would be a clue.

Zhang Xiaoyu originally thought that the food was a pity, but now he felt that it was not a pity at all, and he admired Ji He even more.

"What? You said your family was robbed?! Did you lose anything?"

Aunt Tian was worried when she heard Ji He say that. Ji He's family is rich now, what would happen if the thieves really stole it.

Zhang Xiaoyu comforted her and said, "Godmother, don't worry, nothing valuable was lost, but I can't stand this anger. We must find the thief!"

Zhang Xiaoyu told them about the ash and the rice noodles with medicine.

Tian Jinduo patted Ji He's shoulder admiringly and said, "You are amazing! If the thief is from our village, he will not be able to escape! Don't worry, I will ask people I know to help look for him, and see which one has wet hair and which one has a stomachache! We will catch them all!"

Tian Daqiang said, "Let's talk to the village chief and ask him to send more people to look for him. Let's not talk about the matter of the poisoned food for now. If they can't find who has dust on his body or wet hair, then let them reveal their crimes. Otherwise, they will be exposed as soon as you talk."

Tian Daqiang took Ji He and the others to Ji Dafa's house and told Ji Dafa about this. Ji Dafa was also very angry. This kind of petty theft happens in the village, even in the town and city, but it is too shameless to steal from Ji He. Ji He and Xiao Yu are such poor kids, and they steal from them just after they earn some money. Do they still have a conscience?

"Find someone! We must find this little thief! I wouldn't be Ji Dafa if I don't break his hand!"

"Yes, we must catch him!" Zhang was also a little frightened and advised Ji and them to move out quickly. That place was too deserted. Now they encountered a thief. It would be troublesome if he really wanted to harm them.

Ji Lan rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask me, we should focus on the Zhang family. They are the only family that is desperate for money and hates Hezige and Xiaoyu. Besides, no one else is brave enough to break the lock.

Ji He said, "We think the same thing. They are the most suspicious!"

Tian Daqiang said, "Okay, don't be suspicious. I have asked Jinduo to watch their family. Now let's go find the village chief. We must let him know about this. If it is someone from the village, this matter cannot be covered up. They are so bold and dare to steal things so blatantly. It is so easy to open the locks of other people's houses. It will be easy to open the locks of other people's houses in the future! Stealing people's money and food now may cost lives in the future!"

Lin Yongxin heard the exaggerated serious consequences and took it seriously. He slammed the table and said, "This is outrageous. Our Qingshan Village is not a den of thieves! I will catch this guy and punish him severely! Ji He, you are rich now, so you should move back to the village. It is too dangerous there. Actually, it was I who agreed to let you live there. If anything happened to you, I would not feel at ease. "

Ji He thought that he could not hide it from the village chief any longer, so he told him that he was going to live across the river.

Lin Yongxin was stunned and asked after a while: "You said that Mr. Yan gave you the manor and the nearby land?"

Ji He nodded and said: "Yes, village chief, I didn't mean to hide it. It's only been a few days, and I don't know how to tell others. Now that this has happened, I will move there. I will invite you to drink when the time comes." "

Good! Good! You are really promising! Anyway, we have a boat in our village, and it will be convenient for us to come and go frequently in the future."

Lin Yongxin now looked at Ji He and could not remember what the original Ji He looked like. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not the same person.

Zhang Yu'e also heard Ji He's words, and her mood was even more complicated than Lin Yongxin's. She wondered why this good thing didn't happen to her son and nephew, but she smiled more gently at Ji He.

☆ 80. Chapter 80: Arresting people at Zhang's house

Chapter 80: Arresting people at Zhang's house

The thief who visited Ji He's house was soon caught. As expected, it was Zhang's family, Zhang Wulang.

When Zhang Daniu and Yu Huaihua heard Ji He say that they would send Zhang Wulang to the government, they were both anxious. Zhang Wulang had diarrhea and was exhausted. If he was really sent to the government, wouldn't he be half dead? They already had a son who was sent to do hard labor, what would happen if this one went?

Zhang Li'niang was also anxious. It could be said that it was bad luck for her eldest brother Zhang Wenlang to get into trouble. After all, no one wanted to kick a stone and hurt a cow, right? Although it was a loss of reputation, it could still be explained. But Zhang Wulang was stealing, which was too shameful! If this matter was made a big deal, it would have a greater impact on her marriage.

"Uncle Lin, please think twice! It would not be good if our village really took this matter to the government. Everyone would say that our village is full of thieves, and that would be a big problem! We are all fellow villagers. We usually solve quarrels and fights privately and never take them to the government. Why can't my second brother's matter be solved privately?"

Zhang Li Niang bit her lip and looked at Lin Yongxin, her face full of pleading.

Zhang Daniu also quickly agreed and said, "That's right. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for you, the village chief." Lin Yongxin frowned

, thinking that what they said made sense. Although petty thefts happen everywhere, it is not a big deal as long as it is not reported to the government. Once it is done, people in nearby villages will know about it, which will not be good for the reputation of the village, and it will not be good for him. Maybe someone will say that he is not capable of the responsibilities of the village chief. He doesn't care whether he is the village chief or not, but he is still not happy to be pulled down because of such a thing!

Lin Yongxin looked at Ji He and said, "Ji He, I don't think we need to take this matter to the county government. Why don't we just solve it in our village?"

The people in the Zhang family all looked at Ji He, thinking about asking him for something. Their faces looked unhappy one by one. Finally, Zhang Daniu spoke up.

Zhang Daniu said, "Ji He, I know you are angry, but no matter what, Wu Lang is Xiao Yu's second brother. You can't send your uncle to jail, right? It won't be good for you either. Just raise your hand and let this matter go, okay?"

Zhang Xiaoyu immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. I don't have such a second brother. Didn't we agree on it long ago? We have no relationship between us for a long time."

Yu Huaihua frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you so heartless? After all, we raised you up. It was for your own good that we told you to Wang Zhubo. Wasn't it just a contract? It's not that we really don't want you anymore. We haven't disturbed you these days because we are hoping that you will come to your senses, but why are you so stubborn? Why don't you think about our kindness to you? People should not be so conscienceless!"

Yu Huaihua looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was obviously taller than at home, with a whiter and fatter face. She felt angry. She thought that her family was living like this, but this kid was living so well. God is really blind! But for the sake of her son and this family, she had to swallow her anger. Even when she complained to Zhang Xiaoyu, she used a gentle and sad tone. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and tried to squeeze out a few tears.

Zhang Xiaoyu snorted coldly and said, "I know whether it is for my own good or not, and so do you. Anyone with eyes and heart knows it! Even if I haven't repaid your kindness to me with all the work I have done for so many years, I have also repaid you with the money you sold me for. Don't mention it too much in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhang Xiaoyu was really fed up with the Zhang family. He would never have any affection for them again. Wanting to reconcile with him, no way! Didn't he know that they were thinking of treating him like a slave again? He and Ji He were living a good life. With such a good husband, only a fool would want these cruel and heartless family members.

"You!" Yu Huaihua was pushed back mercilessly. He was so angry that he almost cursed again. He was pulled back by Zhang Li'niang before he could hold back.

Lin Yongxin coughed and said, "You'd better stop talking about these gossips. Let's ask Ji He if he is willing to let Zhang Wulang go this time and not hand him over to the government!"

Zhang Li Niang looked at Ji He with a pair of watery eyes and said softly, "Ji He, please be magnanimous and let my second brother go this time!"

Ji He frowned at Zhang Li Niang's eyes, wondering what kind of look this woman has? Is she using a beauty trick on him? It's almost the same for the previous Ji He, but it's useless for him. Even if he doesn't have a beloved husband, he still hates her! Feeling the hand he was holding tighten, Ji He knew that Zhang Xiaoyu had an opinion on Zhang Li Niang's eyes, and he was happy in his heart, thinking that his husband was so cute. Is he worried?

Zhang Li Niang really deliberately released her charm to Ji He. In fact, she still thought that Ji He liked her, thinking that if she begged him softly, he would let her second brother go. Even if she didn't like Ji He now, she felt uncomfortable seeing Zhang Xiaoyu standing next to Ji He and living a good life, so she spoke in a softer voice.

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips. He had never hated Zhang Li'niang as much as he did now.

Ji Lan also came to watch the fun. He had been standing by without saying a word, but now he could not help it and sneered: "Zhang Li'niang, what's with that look and tone of yours? Put away your tricks! Zi Ge and I will not fall for your tricks! How dare you beg him? You harmed him in the beginning, and then you kept causing trouble for him and Xiao Yu. Now you go to steal their things, and you still have the face to beg? How can you be so thick-skinned?"

Zhang Li'niang bit her lip and glared at Ji Lan, saying: "Ji Lan, don't talk nonsense."

Ji Lan curled her lips: "You know whether I have said anything nonsense or not, and everyone knows it!"

Ji Dafa said: "Lan'er, stand aside."

Ji Lan snorted and said to Ji He: "He Zi Ge, ignore her, she is a bad person!"

Ji He smiled slightly and said: "I know, I will not pay attention to that kind of bad person, so as to avoid dying again."

The original Ji He had been reincarnated by the victim. He is living a happy life now. He plans to grow old with his husband, but he doesn't want to provoke this cunning and vicious woman. If he had the chance, he would have wanted to get rid of this woman and avenge the original owner.

Zhang Li Niang thought that Ji He was still blaming herself for harming him. If she had known that there would be such a day, she would not have harmed him. She thought he was a soft persimmon, but now he has become a sharp and hard stone. She really regretted it. She showed an even more aggrieved expression on her face. Just as she was about to say something else, she was stopped by Lin Yongxin's words.

Lin Yongxin persuaded Ji He with a few more words, meaning that if it can be settled privately, it should be settled privately, and don't make a fuss about it in the county government.

Ji He said: "Village chief, this matter should be taken to the county government. This matter cannot be concealed. The villagers have already known about it, but I believe that they will not make a fuss about it for the reputation of their village. It will not have much impact on the reputation of the village. As for your reputation, you don't have to worry about it. He is a small thief and can't affect you, the village chief."

Ji He wanted to deal with Zhang Wulang. He actually dared to break into his house. If he didn't teach him a lesson now, who knows what he will do in the future? Of course, the most important thing is to let Zhang Xiaoyu vent his anger. His husband has suffered in this family for so many years. If he, as a husband, doesn't vent his anger, who will?

Lin Yongxin wanted to say something else, but Ji He's eyes told him that he had made up his mind. After all, Lin Yongxin was not the kind of person who would force others to do things. He could only frown and look at the Zhang family, thinking that if they could plead for mercy, they could do so. He didn't care.

Zhang Li'niang didn't expect Ji He to be so cruel. She hated him secretly in her heart, but she ignored him and turned to talk to Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, please persuade Ji He. You have just had a good life. Don't go to the government office again. Going to the government office, whether you are suing someone or being sued, costs money. Even if your life is better now, you have to save some money. I know you have a good relationship with Ji He. Please persuade him."

"I listen to my husband in everything."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Li'niang, thinking that Zhang Li'niang was still as eloquent as before.

Ji He smiled at Zhang Xiaoyu and said softly, "My Xiaoyu is so good. Whatever you want to eat, we can eat it when we go back home in the evening."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Anything is fine."

Yu Huaihua said angrily, "Okay! Shut up, both of you! Don't you think it's corny! Zhang Xiaoyu, you are really spoiled. Do you really think that you don't need someone to support you when you live with him? When you are old and the tree is withered, he will not care about you anymore. Then don't come to us crying!"

Zhang Daniu was furious. He thought that this old woman couldn't control her mouth again. Look at what she said. However, he just glared at her and didn't stop her. After all, no matter whether it was Ji He or Zhang Xiaoyu, he only needed to convince one of them. Who cares what the idea was to convince the other person?

Zhang Xiaoyu said coldly: "Anyway, I don't need your support! When Ah He and I got married, we weren't very good-looking, and we have a twin, so what's there to be afraid of when we get old? Whether I cry or laugh in the future has nothing to do with you, I know you should cry for Zhang Wulang now, he must go to jail!"

Ji He was also angry, and with a call, he sent people to arrest Zhang Wulang.

Yu Huaihua was very anxious, blocking the door to prevent them from entering, but was pulled away by Tian Jinduo. Seeing Zhang Wulang being pulled out of the house, she rushed over anxiously, and refused to let anyone take her son away.

Lin Yongxin yelled at Zhang Daniu: "Hold your wife! If you keep making trouble like this, no one will care if she gets hurt!"

Zhang Li'niang hurried to help Yu Huaihua. The family has spent too much money recently, and her mother can't get hurt again.

Jiang Honglian has been sitting in the room listening, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth. If you want to make trouble, go ahead, why are you so unlucky? It would be best if this family is as unlucky as her!

Zhang Daniu watched his son being dragged to the front door. He was exhausted from a stomachache. If he went to jail, he would be dead. Yu Huaihua was about to faint in her daughter's arms. He also felt a tightness in his chest and quickly used his crutches to support his body.

"Stop!"

Zhang Daniu suddenly shouted, causing everyone in the yard to stop. Even Ji He and the others looked at him, wondering what tricks he was going to play.

Zhang Daniu looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, come into the house with me. I'll talk to you for a few words. Then you can decide whether to take Wu Lang with you or not."

"Boss!"

Yu Huaihua suddenly realized what Zhang Daniu wanted to say and widened her eyes anxiously.
