A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Zhou Yuzhu thought for a moment, "No, that's not it! There are a few families in the village whose harvests are not good. Those families either have fields that are too remote, or something serious happened in their family, or they are just lazy! We don't know the specific reasons! But, most families in the village have a decent harvest this year. Although it's not as good as before, it's not like they have no harvest at all! Our village has installed waterwheels!"
Su Nanxi nodded, understanding.
There are many reasons for a poor harvest, but there's only one reason for a good harvest: diligence!
Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood, which inherently involves certain risks. In years with bad weather, if they don't work hard, expecting a good harvest is just wishful thinking!
Even God couldn't stand it anymore!
It's outrageous that someone so lazy can still have a good harvest!
I guess the second and third branches of the Zhou family also belong to this category!
"Who says otherwise! As the villagers say, birds of a feather flock together! They're all like that, they don't have any ambitions, they just live one day at a time, as long as they have food to eat, they don't think about things far ahead."
The village chief said this year is different from previous years; we need to put more effort into farming. Whether the second half of the year goes well depends on the first half! But they won't listen, thinking the village chief is worrying too much! They all pass the buck when it comes to farm work!
At this point, Zhou Yuzhu leaned closer and said, "I heard that the reason the family split up back then was because they were too lazy and petty. They always ordered my parents around. My mother was very angry. Later, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she followed their example. They couldn't stand it either, so they made a fuss about splitting up the family!"
Oh! I see!
Su Nanxi had heard Old Lady Mo mention it briefly, but she didn't go into details about the reasons for the family division. She only said that the family had been divided a long time ago, and the families rarely visited each other. They would only get together for a meal when a common relative came.
People with different values will find it difficult to live together. Separation is inevitable. Once separated, each will live their own life, without interfering with each other. They will be free and there will be fewer trivial matters, making things much more comfortable!
Su Nanxi suddenly understood why Wang Shi seemed to always be running around, going wherever she heard of an opportunity.
From a certain perspective, Wang can be considered a very hardworking and goal-oriented person. She didn't want to gossip with people in the village and was always thinking about finding opportunities to make money so that she could build a new house and move further away!
Moreover, she doesn't seem to be afraid of what others say; she's not thin-skinned and has a strong will!
After saying a few words, Zhou Yuzhu finally felt a little better. Her anger had subsided, and she suddenly realized that it was wrong to talk badly about people behind their backs. She also regretted it a bit, but seeing that Su Nanxi's expression was calm and she was not affected by her, she stopped feeling conflicted.
Third cousin's wife is no ordinary person; she wouldn't be so easily swayed by a few of her gossipy words!
She had no one to confide in, and had been holding it in for too long, so she blurted it out without thinking. However, what she said was true, and she didn't fabricate or distort the facts. If she was wrong, the most she could do was talk about her elders behind their backs!
snort!
It's their fault for going too far; otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a problem with them!
They keep trying to pressure her with all sorts of so-called high principles. Ha, don't think she doesn't know what they're up to!
Furthermore, she didn't believe that these people were simply following along to freeload a meal. She clearly had an ulterior motive. Otherwise, why didn't these people come with their whole families when they visited other relatives' homes before?
Coming to the Mo family is one thing, but they don't even know how to restrain themselves. Do they think they're at home, doing whatever they want and treating everyone else like fools?
Even after they arrived here, they were always wary of her, preventing her from getting close to her third cousin's wife. They kept pushing her aside, so she hardly had any chance to talk to her!
With so many people from the Zhou family here, and my aunt's family being small, they definitely wouldn't be able to handle everything. Even without being asked, she was planning to go and help out, but instead, she deliberately said things that were infuriating!
What's wrong with her being an unmarried girl? Does she have to rush to do chores to appear virtuous and avoid being disliked by her in-laws in the future?
What, do they think they don't have to be virtuous after they get married? Aren't they afraid their in-laws will dislike them?
Then he just watched a little girl go to work while he sat there bragging, claiming it was to look after the child.
cut!
What kind of child are you looking at!
Those crazy kids are so insane, yet no one says a word. Even when they see them, they don't care and just let them continue their madness!
What a joke!
His eyesight is so bad, there's no hope for him!
She was busy in the kitchen when she noticed that her cousin-in-law seemed unwell and looked pale. Originally, her cousin-in-law had a stool to sit on, but that brat insisted on taking it away from her. Not only that, but when he saw her cousin-in-law about to leave, he deliberately held her hand tightly and pretended to be enthusiastic and started blowing on her!
Pooh!
They have a very malicious mind!
The kids they raised aren't any better!
He kept going to her house to cause trouble, and even deliberately tried to go into the dark room and rummage through the things inside. After scolding him a few times, she defended him, saying that he was still a child and why was she arguing with a child? She was so petty!
Pah!
He's just a child and doesn't know any better, but he's raised by adults. Don't adults know any better?
I really want to say, if you're not being sensible, go back to your parents' home and learn to behave before coming back!
It's always the same excuses, the same old story!
She accidentally got their clothes wet and immediately started yelling at them. Why didn't you tell her she was just a child and not to make such a fuss?
That's a huge double standard!
I hate seeing their hypocritical faces!
She was really angry!
Su Nanxi looked at Zhou Yuzhu, who was puffed up with anger, and knew that she must have been angry for a long time. Just as she was about to say a few words to her, a loud cry suddenly came, which was very pitiful.
The two immediately stopped talking and looked towards the source of the sound. Their hearts sank; the screams indicated that something terrible had happened.
Indeed, something bad happened. The two children of the Zhou family were trapped under the table. The table had somehow overturned, and everything that was on the table had also fallen over, some on the two children and some scattered on the ground.
I bet she was in a lot of pain from being crushed, and she cried so miserably!
The people from the second and third branches of the Zhou family didn't rush over to the child at this moment. Instead, their buttocks seemed to be frozen, and only their mouths could move. They were excitedly shouting for others to come and save the child!
Seeing that the Mo family was a little late, they started yelling and cursing, acting as if they cared a lot about their child. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were extremely nervous and were model parents!
Seeing this, Su Nanxi sneered. She had wanted to rush over, but she stopped herself. If their own parents weren't worried, why should she, an outsider, be worried?
She had a mouth too, and she shouted, "Your child is trapped under the table! Hurry up and save him! That's your child! Go! What are you sitting there for? Aren't you worried? Is that your child?"
Those people were stunned and looked at Nan Xi.
"Why are you looking at me! Look at your child! There they are!"
