If we want to talk about the trouble Pei Shaorong encountered, it all started with the rumors in the village that Mo Xiaobao couldn't get pregnant.

The Pei family is now considered a wealthy family in Linjiang Village. Although no one knows how much wealth they have, the large blue brick house and the vermicelli shop they opened in the town are something that few families in the village can compare to.

Everyone in the village knew that Pei Shaorong had earned more than thirty taels of silver by selling tomato and watermelon seedlings to everyone.

Once a man has money, he is likely to attract gossip. Those who previously despised Pei Shaorong for being poor and were unwilling to marry their daughters to him now regret it.

Look at the Mo family's Xiaobao, a boy with such a bad reputation in the village. Now he eats and wears the best of things, and the men of the Pei family love him so much. It's really enviable!

Although life is becoming increasingly difficult, it is not yet truly severe and the villagers still have to live their lives as normal, so the girls and boys of age in the village also have to find a husband as normal.

However, when the girls and boys in the village are looking for a husband, they no longer consider the money, but instead focus on the man's body shape and the food in his family.

Now that we are entering a period of famine, men not only need to have the strength to farm, but they also have to go up the mountain to hunt.

After all, the harvest of crops in the fields is decreasing day by day. If the family wants to have enough food and survive these hard days, the man must be able to go to the mountains to hunt and earn extra money!

There is also the family's stored food, which is directly related to whether a family can survive the drought. How much food is stored depends on whether the family had money before the disaster.

These two standards are just right for Pei Shaorong. Few people in the village can match Pei Shaorong's height and body shape as modern people.

As for the stored grain, that goes without saying. The Pei family is rich, so can they store less grain? Anyone would know that Pei family’s cellar must be full of food now!

Not only that, Pei Shaorong can also hunt. When he first came to the village, he made money by hunting. He is so skilled that it is definitely not a problem for him to support his family, deal with refugees and gangsters, and protect his wife!

Therefore, even though Pei Shaorong is already married, when the girls and boys in the village talk about their in-laws, the first person that comes to their mind is still him. Xue Huaer from the Xue family is just one of them...

Pei Shaorong knew Xue Huaer. She was the daughter of Lin Ge'er's mother-in-law. He had seen her several times.

Xue Huaer is as beautiful as her name suggests, with a graceful figure and even bound feet. It's obvious that she will be a beauty that will be favored by wealthy masters in the future!

In fact, the mother of the Xue family also had this idea. She raised the woman as a lady from a wealthy family since she was a child, hoping that Xue Huaer would marry a rich man.

Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er had advised Mrs. Xue before that it was just a daydream for a peasant like their Xue family to want to marry a rich man.

Even if Xue Huaer really marries a rich man, will he let her be his principal wife? If you are not a good match for someone, the best you can do is become a concubine.

It is said that one would rather be the wife of a mediocre man than the concubine of a hero. As Xue Huaer's brother, an elder brother is like a father. Xue Tieshi still hopes that Xue Huaer can live a comfortable and ordinary happy life. Can she live a comfortable life by marrying into a wealthy family and serving the eldest wife?

But Mrs. Xue doesn’t think so. Her daughter is so beautiful and outstanding, why can’t she marry a rich man?

Xue Huaer, who was influenced by her mother Xue since childhood, also believed this. She was very proud and arrogant. In order to live a life as a wealthy wife in the future, she even endured the pain of foot binding.

Xue Huaer, who is now fifteen years old, is not only beautiful and has a good temperament, but also has a pair of three-inch golden lotus feet that are praised by everyone here!

Originally, Mrs. Xue had been planning to find a rich and good family for Xue Huaer in the town, but who knew that there would be a sudden severe drought and all the people in the town ran back to the village.

The wealthy master had received the news and left Yueyang long ago, so Mrs. Xue's wish of finding Xue Huaer a rich husband was naturally dashed.

But now Xue Huaer has reached the age of marriage, and Xue's mother has no choice but to give up her previous idea and prepare to find a good husband for her daughter in the village.

But no matter how she looked at them, Mrs. Xue was not satisfied with any of them. They all looked like a bunch of poor and ugly guys. How could her daughter marry such rough men?

The person involved, Xue Huaer, had the same idea as her mother. She had been raised as a lady from a wealthy family for so many years, so she was not willing to marry into a country family and suffer hardship in the future.

After looking left and right, finally Mrs. Xue and Xue Huaer fell in love with Pei Shaorong!

Although Pei Shaorong is married now, he is capable and his family has money and food, and he is definitely one of the best in the village.

The Xue family is close to the Pei family because of the relationship between Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er. Xue's mother and Xue Hua'er naturally know better how rich the Pei family is and how capable Pei Shaorong is.

Since she couldn't marry a rich and powerful master, she had to marry a man from the best family in the village. Therefore, Mrs. Xue and Xue Huaer fell in love with Pei Shaorong.

Even if the man from the Pei family gets married, it's okay. His husband, Mo Xiaobao, is a young boy, and he hasn't conceived a son for the Pei family yet. It's normal for a man from the Pei family to marry a concubine for the sake of offspring.

Mrs. Xue thought about it. Although she felt that it was a bit unfair for her daughter to become a concubine, there were indeed few families in the village better than the Pei family.

After making up her mind, Mrs. Xue brought up the matter at the dinner table.

"Tie Shi, your sister has reached the age of marriage. I think the man from the Pei family is the best in the village. You two have a good relationship. You can go to the Pei family tomorrow and ask the man from the Pei family to propose marriage..."

"What? Mom, you want to marry Hua'er to Abao?"

As soon as Mrs. Xue finished speaking, Xue Tieshi was stunned, Xue Huaer blushed, and Lin Ge'er exclaimed in surprise, he could not believe his ears.

Xue Tieshi reacted after a brief moment of stunnedness and said angrily, "Mom, what are you thinking? Brother Pei and Brother Mo are living well, why do you want to marry your sister to someone else's family? Isn't this immoral..."

"Tie Shi, how can you talk to me like that? What's wrong with me marrying Hua'er to the Pei family? There is no family in the village better than the Pei family. If Hua doesn't marry the Pei family, is she going to find a random man and live a miserable life?"

Old Lady Xue was a little angry that her son was rebelling against her. "Besides, the young man from the Mo family has been married to the Pei family for more than a year and there is still no sign of pregnancy. What's wrong with a man from the Pei family marrying another woman?"

"Mom, don't say anything. I won't talk about this anymore, and don't think about it..."

Xue Tieshi knew that he would not be able to convince his mother, and he was too lazy to argue with her. Although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines if he had the conditions, seeing how loving Brother Pei and Brother Mo were, he didn't have the nerve to send his own sister to get involved.

His husband is a very good friend of Mr. Mo, and Brother Pei has helped his family a lot. If he really marries Huaer into the Pei family and destroys the relationship between the couple, how will he and Brother Lin meet people in the future?

He would listen to his mother on ordinary matters, but he would never listen to this matter. After scolding Mother Xue with a cold face, Xue Tieshi ignored this ridiculous matter.

Xue Tieshi originally thought that after he had scolded Old Lady Xue at such an old age, she would give up the idea, but who knew that Old Lady Xue was so stubborn that she actually took Xue Huaer with her to the Pei family to propose marriage!

Anyway, Mrs. Xue felt that Pei Shaorong was the only one in the village who was worthy of Xue Huaer. If this marriage failed, her Huaer would have to suffer in the future if she married someone worse.

Her daughter was so beautiful, and a lady from a noble family with three-inch golden lotus feet. No one in the village could compare to her. Yet, even though she married into the Pei family, Old Lady Xue still felt that she was marrying down.

If it weren't for this blind God's wrong idea, she really would look down on the Pei family. But now she has no choice. At least Xue Huaer will not have to worry about food and drink in the Pei family, and the man is strong and guaranteed.

Since Xue Tieshi is not going, then she will go by herself. With her daughter's conditions, the men of the Pei family will definitely not refuse!

But Mrs. Xue didn't expect that Pei Shaorong not only didn't like her and rejected her, but also got furious when she heard her say in a roundabout way that Mo Xiaobao was a desperate boy who couldn't give birth to a son.

"You fucking dare say that to me again! It's none of your business whether my wife has a baby or not!" Pei Shaorong overturned the table and pushed the man out of the door angrily.

"Mrs. Xue, for the sake of Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er, I won't hit anyone today. But from now on, if I hear anyone in the village talking about A Bao again, no matter who said it, I will find you, Mrs. Xue!"

Pei Shaorong is not a gentleman at heart, and he is particularly protective of his wife and the people he likes. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a large canine animal protecting its master.

The gossip in the village made Abao unhappy during this period. Seeing Abao becoming increasingly haggard because of the child's affairs, he had been feeling angry and had no place to vent.

When Aunt Xue asked him to marry Xue Huaer as his co-wife, A Bao turned pale. Then he even said in front of him that Mo Xiaobao was not a good person. This directly hit Pei Shaorong's gun!

"Old lady Xue, let me tell you, even if my Abao really didn't give birth to a child for me, that's my Pei family's business. I'm happy about it. As for your daughter, I think putting it at the door can be very effective in warding off evil spirits..."

"..." Aunt Xue didn't expect Pei Shaorong to turn hostile without even saying a word, and to speak so impolitely. She was so angry that her whole body began to tremble.

At this moment, the commotion at the gate of Pei's family had already attracted a lot of onlookers, and they all started gossiping. In front of the whole village, Aunt Xue was shaking so much that she could not speak.

Xue Huaer was so ashamed and angry that she rushed towards the crowd, crying, "Mom, Huaer is dying..."

When they saw Xue Huaer rushing towards them, the villagers instinctively dodged, but one person was unable to avoid her and ran into Xue Huaer face to face. This person was Mo Lanzhu's husband, Sun Yaocai.

Sun Yaocai had just arrived to join in the fun, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was greeted by Xue Huaer who wanted to "run into someone and commit suicide".

When he looked down and saw the girl in his arms crying and looking so pitiful, Sun Yaocai felt an inexplicable urge to uphold justice and he spoke in a stern voice.

"Is there any law in broad daylight? Bullying a weak woman is nothing!"
