Chapter 87 Who is it?
At the Xia residence, Xiao Wang was watching Zhao wandering around in and out of the toilet. She asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for? Did you lose your silver?"
Zhao's face was embarrassed, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No! I'm not looking for anything."
Little Wang didn't believe it, "You're wandering around the toilet without losing any silver? I see you've been walking around the toilet two or three times. I'll help you find how much you lost." As she said that, she really wanted to turn over the pile of firewood outside the toilet.
Seeing this, Zhao Shi had no choice but to say, "Nothing, it's just... it seems someone has overturned the spittoon in my room." She was really embarrassed and just finished speaking, she hurriedly said, "Nothing, maybe I remembered it wrong."
After all, who would steal urine? That's a filthy thing.
Xiao Wangshi obviously thought so too. She smiled and said, "I'm glad you didn't lose any money. Is everything okay, sister-in-law? If not, let's go to the wasteland and take a look."
Outsiders don’t know about the business partnership between my family and the Lu family, but my family members know it.
Although Xiao Wang also doubted whether she could make money by growing wild berries, it was a livelihood after all and she had to pay attention to it.
Zhao and Xiao Wang had similar ideas and naturally would not refuse.
As soon as the two of them reached the door, they saw a group of villagers walking towards them in a noisy manner.
"Jia Niang, if you ask me, you should pay more attention!" Ge Shuan's mother kindly pulled Zhao's arm and said, "If your man really has nothing to do, why not reclaim a few more acres of wasteland? Why bother helping the Lu family with all this trouble? Look, it's all in vain, isn't it?"
Zhao Jia was confused by what she said, "Sister Ge, what do you mean?"
Ge Shuan Niang said, "Don't you know? All the crops your man planted for the Lu family died!"
"Ah!" Zhao Jia and Xiao Wang's eyes widened in shock, "How could they all be dead?"
"Isn't this normal? Who would plant things in the middle of winter?" Ge Shuanniang was a little surprised by the reactions of the two. Instead of blaming her husband for not doing his job, why did she care about whether the things in the Lu family's fields were dead?
But she didn't think much about it, and just advised: "You should persuade the men in your family in the future and don't listen to the nonsense of that young lady from the Lu family! That young lady is as beautiful as a flower, but her hands are as soft as tofu. Can she be someone who can farm?"
Zhao Jia and Xiao Wangshi had no time to listen to Ge Shuanniang's nagging. They hurried towards the wasteland.
Xia Zhirong, the eldest son of the Xia family, also learned that all the wild berry seedlings had died, and was checking the fields at the moment.
There were many people around just now, so Jiang Tangtang was reluctant to speak. But now that everyone had dispersed and there were no outsiders in the field, Jiang Tangtang didn't have any scruples. "Brother Xia, have you figured out anything?"
Even a half-baked Jiang Tangtang could spot something unusual, so Xia Zhirong, a seasoned farmer, could certainly spot it. He looked at the crops for a while and said, "Are the seedlings burned?"
Jiang Tangtang nodded. "It looks like it, but I don't know who is so kind as to stay up so late at night and use all the farm manure they worked so hard to accumulate on our land."
"No matter who he is, I will find him out." Xia Zhirong said.
"I just don't know what the other party's purpose is. The fewer people who know about this, the better." Jiang Tangtang had a few suspects in her mind, but she couldn't be sure who they were.
Xia Zhirong said: "Don't worry, I know how to act."
Zhao Jia and Xiao Wang hurried over and saw from a distance that their husband was talking to a beautiful woman.
Thinking of what Ge Shuanniang had just said, she subconsciously touched her rough face, inexplicably feeling that this scene was very glaring.
She strode over and stood between the two of them. Uncharacteristically, she took Xia Zhirong's hand and said, "Husband, what are you talking about?"
Xia Zhirong was not used to her being so clingy in front of outsiders, so he pulled his hand back and said, "Nothing!"
Xia Zhirong is a straightforward person. Since they had agreed not to reveal it to anyone, he couldn't even tell his own wife.
But Zhao Jia thought too much.
The man has been busy working in the Lu family's fields every day recently. Is it really because his father-in-law is doing business in partnership with the Lu family?
Her eyes fell on Jiang Tangtang's face, which was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg.
Who among these women doesn't have spots or acne scars on their faces? But when she stood so close to Jiang's face, she saw that there was no impurity on her face at all.
And this waist, it was rubbed like a weeping willow, and it felt like it would break if you applied a little force.
Men like women like this the most!
When she first got married, her husband also liked to touch her waist over and over again at night, but now, he won't even let her touch her wrist. Even when they are talking, he won't tell her anything when she asks.
As Zhao Jia thought about it, his eyes turned red. He turned around and ran away without caring about what was happening in the field.
"This woman is so impetuous. I don't know what she is doing!" Xia Zhirong felt quite embarrassed and subconsciously apologized to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang thought about the slightly defensive look in Zhao Jia's eyes when he looked at her just now, and took two steps back unnoticeably, putting some distance between herself and Xia Zhirong.
She advised, "Brother Xia, there's nothing going on in the fields. You should go and accompany Sister Xia first! Actually, it's okay if you tell Sister Xia about this. Just don't spread it outside, or you and your wife won't have any misunderstandings because of this."
"What's there to say?" Xia Zhirong said unconcernedly, "I'll go to the mountains and see if I can find any wild berry seedlings."
"Let me go! I don't have anything to do, and I can't help with the work in the fields." Jiang Tangtang said.
"You have a good brain, much better than us at using brute force. The iron plow you designed is much easier to use than the ones we had before. We can use it to plow fields even if they're not paddy fields. It saves us brothers a lot of effort."
Xia Zhirong said, "Then go look for seedlings and go to the fields again."
Jiang Tangtang first sent Lu Tiantian back home, and then went into the mountains with the basket and backpack.
Thinking that the Xia brothers also needed help finding strawberry seedlings, Jiang Tangtang found a relatively secluded valley and planted a few strawberry plants there.
If the Xia brothers found this place, it would be a disguised testimony for her, that she was not the only one who could find wild berry seedlings. She was just lucky.
If you haven’t found this place yet, then just wait for the right person!
Jiang Tangtang returned home with more than 30 strawberry seedlings and half a basket of strawberries.
She also deliberately asked He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui to plant strawberry seedlings, and half of the village knew about it. As soon as the wild strawberry seedlings in the field died, she found new wild strawberry seedlings in the mountains and planted them.
*
That night, after dinner, Xia Zhirong secretly went to the wasteland and hid in the grass to keep watch.
Zhao Jia had been sulking all day, and had been thinking that when he came to hug her at night, she would push him away and vent her anger, but she didn't expect that the man disappeared after dinner, and she waited until late at night, but he still didn't come back.
It was just a doubt at first, but now it has become certainty!
Zhao Jia was both angry and furious, and finally burst into tears while covering herself with the quilt.
Just as I was crying sadly, I suddenly heard scolding and crying outside.
