C59 (1/2)
Jin Xiaofeng's entire person was beaten until she was stupefied, tears started to roll down her eyes. Peering through the tears, the person in front of him was none other than Liu Yuyan.
The anger in her heart turned into grievance, Jin Xiaofeng said out loud: ”Mother, why did you hit me …”
”Why did I hit you?” Liu Yuyan's eyes were wide open, his eyebrows almost reaching his temples. ”I'm going to wake you up, you idiot! I'm going to let you see what you're doing!”
”What did I do …” Jin Xiaofeng felt even more wronged.
Liu Yuyan had just recovered her body and was so angry that she almost fell down again: ”You still have the nerve to ask! If not for your stupidity, you would be the one who married into County Magistrate Mansion yesterday! Even if you were sold to someone else, you still have to pay up. It's one thing if you don't marry into their family, but why are you signing any indenture contract! Do you think you're not lowly enough? ”
Liu Yuyan was so angry that she had nowhere to vent it out, she extended her hand and pinched Jin Xiaofeng's waist twice.
Jin Xiaofeng screamed miserably as she twisted her fingers.
”Mother!” Jin Xiaofeng panicked, ”Mother, you don't know, County Magistrate Mansion is not something that you can do just because you want to … ”Even though she's called a servant, she's actually half a master. It would be better to find a rich and powerful husband than to marry off in the village.”
”Is all that shit in your head?” Liu Yuyan was so angry that she almost vomited blood, ”Half a master? A free husband? Did you hear it from Jin Xiaotao? ”
Jin Xiaofeng continued to shed tears as she nodded her head.
”You believed her just because she said it?” Liu Yuyan sneered, ”This is why the one who marries is her, not you. She is much smarter than you!”
Jin Xiaofeng was startled, then swallowed her saliva: ”Could it be, the Xiaotao can actually deceive me?”
Liu Yuyan looked at her foolish and useless daughter, and shook her head.
She touched her flat stomach. She had thought that she would have a son to rely on for the rest of her life. She hadn't thought that her fate would be so rough.
Liu Yuyan did not want to talk to her daughter anymore, she would not be able to make sense of the situation, so she might as well not talk anymore.
He immediately clenched his fist and said to Jin Xiaofeng: ”Since you've signed the agreement, then I'll sign it. But tomorrow, you'll reveal to Tan Sihai that you're willing to marry him.”
Jin Xiaofeng was so shocked that her tears almost flowed, ”What … Mother, you want me to marry into that hunter's house? ”
”What happened to the hunter?” Liu Yuyan said as her gaze sharpened, ”Didn't you choose this yourself? You followed others and even carried their child. Only by marrying them can you straighten your back and live your entire life. ”
”But …” Firstly, Jin Xiaofeng looked down on Tan Sihai, and secondly, when she thought about the appearance of the Hunter Tan, he was afraid, ”But Tan Sihai's father also … ”He is also unwilling to take this wife of mine …”
Liu Yuyan smiled blandly: ”That old hunter, three days ago he looked down on us, but now he wants to come and propose marriage. Don't forget, we are now kin with Zhixian.”
At Shengze Village, not long after Jin Xiaolou and her group left.
A man in white walked out from behind the old peach tree.
Seeing that person, Aunt Bai immediately smiled and welcomed him: ”Young noble, I did what you told me beautifully. That family of three just left, I need to love them as much as I can.”
Chang An nodded his head, and retrieved two taels of silver from his robes and handed it over to Aunt Bai.
Aunt Bai was grinning from ear to ear. Just as she was about to put the silver away, her palm relaxed and she took back another silver ingot.
Chang An had a serious face as he said unhurriedly: ”If you say that my young master is like a little pig, then wouldn't you say that our master is a pig? ”One silver ingot.”
The corner of Aunt Bai's mouth twitched. A joke about praising a child, why did this young master take it as real …
But just one ingot of silver was enough to satisfy her, she immediately kept the rest of the silver and said to Chang An: ”Dammit, it's time to say something, the young master must be a Qilin, the leader of the Five Spirits, he will definitely be successful in the future!”
After the Aunt Bai praised him, she laughed and tugged at the corner of her shirt, saying, ”If Young Master has more of these kinds of jobs, you can look for me. I will do anything to make Young Master satisfied!”
When Jin Xiaolou carried Lin'er and brought him back to the Wellhead Village, it was already afternoon.
As soon as she entered the house, she discovered that the goods that had been randomly placed yesterday had been taken care of by someone. Needless to say, it was the Gui Qu Gang who had helped her.
However, there was no sign of Gui Zhi at the front and back of the house. He was afraid that she had gone to the river to wash her clothes.
It was such a cold day, yet the river water was even more bone-piercing. When Jin Xiaolou washed clothes, her hands would become numb from the cold.
This year, Jin Xiaolou was going to let Huang Guizhi enjoy a warm and peaceful winter.
Jin Xiaolou placed the Lin'er on the bed in the room, then called for Gao Lang to set up a big pot, and started to make canned food.
The canned food was actually stored in jars. After being sealed and sterilized, the food inside the canned food would no longer be contaminated by microbes, and the bacteria inside the canned food would be killed as well. From then on, the canned food would be stored for an extended period of time.
The canned potato and beef that Jin Xiaolou wanted to make was both simple and delicious. It was one of Jin Xiaolou's favorites in the past in the modern world.
