A few days later, another shopkeeper came to collect the apples. This time the shopkeeper was different from the last shopkeeper Wang. He was very polite to them and didn't ask many questions. He just picked the apples and left.

After a while, all the apples on the mountain were picked.

Except for keeping some for their own consumption, the rest was sold to shops in the county town.

To everyone's surprise, the apples were sold for about five taels, which was much more than the one tael of silver that they had earned intermittently over the past six months.

After making money, everyone smiles more.

Wei Laosan's illness gradually recovered, and sometimes he would go to the fields to do farm work in the morning.

He was a man who could not sit still. He had worked hard all his life, and had been ill for the past few months, unable to work in the fields. He had been feeling tired for a long time. Now that he was feeling better, he naturally wanted to work in the fields.

Naturally, his family didn't let him go, but he got up early in the morning and no one could stop him.

Later, seeing that he was indeed not seriously ill, people stopped talking about it.

Zhou was now out of confinement. She was a quiet person, unlike Zhang who didn't like to talk to people. She had been feeling very depressed in the past few months, so after she was out of confinement, when she saw her son was asleep, Zhou would go to the village to talk to people from time to time.

There was not much work to do at home, and no one said anything when Zhou went out.

Although Liu Tangxi was not as quiet as Zhang, she didn't like to talk to the villagers. The way they looked at her really made her uncomfortable. Besides, she was not from here, so it would be wrong to say more, so it was better not to say anything.

So, Zhou went out to chat, while Liu Tangxi and Zhang took the children to embroider.

Because there were so many people, everyone chatted from time to time and it didn't feel annoying.

Later that day, after Zhou went out, she came back in a hurry not long after.

Looking at her expression, it seems like she has encountered something unhappy.

"You stayed outside for a short time today," Zhang said.

After Zhou ran to the main room and drank some water, she came to Liu Tangxi's side, saw a stool next to her, and sat down on it.

"What's going on?" Liu Tangxi also noticed that something was wrong with Zhou.

Zhou pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but seeing her expression seemed a little angry, she couldn't speak.

"What's going on? What happened?" Li came over after hearing the noise.

After hearing what Li said, Zhou couldn't help herself and said, "Mom, you don't know, I just heard something outside."

"What's the matter?" Li asked.

Zhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and said, "Who do you think is ruining the reputation of my third brother's wife?"

"Who?" Li asked with a tense expression.

Liu Tangxi also stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhou.

"It's the home of Mr. Li in the next village." Zhou gave everyone the answer.

"Mr. Li's family? We have no grudges against his family, why would he say that?" Zhang looked puzzled.

Liu Tangxi didn't have much reaction after hearing this.

Perhaps it was because she had met the girl with Wei Hanzhou that day and guessed that the girl liked Wei Hanzhou, so her first reaction was that the girl wanted to marry Wei Hanzhou, but Wei Hanzhou married her instead, so she didn't like her in her heart.

"Is it his second daughter-in-law, Ye Zi's mother?" Li asked with a frown.

Zhou nodded quickly and said, "That's right. Mother, do you know?"

Li snorted coldly and said, "When I rescued your third brother's wife that day, I vaguely saw the mother and daughter there. I just didn't expect that they knew the truth and could still say such things."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi turned his head to look at Li, and something seemed to flash through his mind.

Zhou took a look at Liu Tangxi's expression and asked in a low voice, "Mother, do you think they are doing this because of my third brother?"

Li also glanced at Liu Tangxi and said, "That must be the reason. They are saying this because they think we rejected their marriage proposal. I have never seen such a person. Marriage is always about mutual consent. If others are unwilling, you can still pull such a trick."

Li became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She stood up and said, "No, I have to go and talk to them. I can't just let them say this."

How could Li be allowed to have such a quarrel alone? So, after Li said that, Zhou and Zhang also stood up.

Zhou immediately said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Zhang also stood up: "I'll go too."

Liu Tangxi was just thinking about something, but when he heard them say that, he stopped immediately.

No one likes people who say bad things about them behind their backs, and Liu Tangxi is no exception. However, she hates trouble even more. Moreover, it has been a long time since the incident happened, and it is useless to argue about it, which will only cause trouble.

To deal with the enemy, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless.

"Mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't go." Liu Tangxi said.

Li's face was still filled with anger. She said, "Don't be afraid, Third Brother's wife. I will seek justice for you. You can't let them say this about you."

"Yes, third sister-in-law, don't be afraid, we are here." Zhou also said.

Although Zhang didn't say anything, he showed his intention through his actions.

Liu Tangxi said quickly, "Mom, I'm not afraid. It's just that this happened so long ago, and it wouldn't look good if we openly make trouble. Besides, we have no evidence."

To be honest, the performance of the Li family made her feel particularly upset. She could feel that the three of them were really angry about what the other party said about her, and wanted to vent her anger, not because she was Wei Hanzhou's wife, but because of her.

You can't see anything at ordinary times, but when the critical moment comes, everyone will stand up.

It was because he was so moved that Liu Tangxi couldn't let them go.

"What evidence do you need? There was no evidence when they accused you. We can just go to their house directly." Zhou said.

Liu Tangxi shook her head and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's different. Although they are unreasonable, they didn't say it to my face, they just said it to others. Now if we really go to their house, they can completely say that they didn't say it."

Liu Tangxi thought that no one would admit to such a thing, not to mention that it was Li Xiucai's home.

Although Wei Hanzhou was the first, he was still young and had only passed the imperial examination a few years ago.

Li Xiucai was different. He had passed the imperial examinations for many years and was very famous in the surrounding villages. Many people were his students.

If they come in so rashly, not only will they get nothing good, they might even be blamed for it.

Li thought about it carefully and understood the reason, but she couldn't swallow this tone. Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou and asked, "Who did you hear that from? Let's take her with us later."

Zhou immediately said, "I heard it from my aunt. It's not just her. Several people in the village are talking about it."

Hearing Wang's name, Li frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll call them and go to Lijia Village to discuss it later."

When Liu Tangxi heard that it was the one from the first wife's house, she immediately felt that this matter was unreliable. In recent days, she has also heard a lot about the style of the first wife's house. I believe that with the temperament of the first wife, they will never help them at a critical moment.

"Mom, do you think that my aunt will be on our side?" Liu Tangxi asked to express Li's concern.

Li pursed her lips and said, "Even if she doesn't support us, there are still others. We just don't invite her."

Liu Tangxi said, "Mother, let's not talk about whether they are willing to go with us. Even if they are willing to go with us, we can confront them face to face, but they can still say that they didn't say it. Not only that, they can also turn around and accuse us of framing them. After all, that person is a scholar."

After hearing the analysis of her third daughter-in-law, Li slapped her thigh in anger and said, "The third son is also a scholar. How can we be afraid of him?"

Liu Tangxi noticed that Li's attitude had softened a little, so she quickly hugged her arm and whispered, "Mother, actually this happened a long time ago. I heard that few people outside mentioned my background anymore. Not only that, everyone is still envious of you, saying that I can embroider and read, and they all think that I must be from a wealthy family. Is that right, second sister-in-law?"

Zhou nodded after hearing what Liu Tangxi said and said, "That's true. These past few days when I went out, everyone was praising you. It's completely different from before."

"Isn't it? If we bring it up again now, it will only bring back memories for everyone, and someone will use it to talk about me again."

Upon hearing this, Li's expression immediately changed. She looked at Liu Tangxi worriedly and said, "Is it really like this?"

Liu Tangxi knew that Li would not go again today, so she smiled and said, "Mother, think about it. There are only two scholars in our village, Li Xiucai and my husband. If our two families quarrel, it will definitely spread all over the neighborhood. People will definitely ask what happened. Once they ask, Li Xiucai will make up a story and everyone will know it."

Judging from Wei Hanzhou's words, Li Xiucai is not a gentleman and might do something to discredit them.

After hearing these words, Li was a little scared and said, "Oh, it's a good thing you persuaded me, I almost hurt you."

Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "How could that be? Mother and my two sisters-in-law wanted to help me. The fault lies with those gossipers, not mother."

Li also understood this truth, but he still felt angry.

"Hey, Mr. Li is also a scholar, why are the people in his family like this?"

Zhang also sighed: "Yes, even if my third brother didn't like her Ye Zi, there is no need to talk about my third brother's wife behind her back."

Zhou curled her lips and said, "Their family is just bad. There is nothing they can't do."

Then, Zhou started to talk about Li Xiucai's family: "That Ye Zi is also vain. When my third brother was studying at their house, she didn't like him. Later, when she saw that he became a scholar, she came here eagerly... Moreover, I heard that she changed her name to Xu. I don't know why this catkin is more noble than Ye Zi? That catkin is very annoying."

When Liu Tangxi heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Third sister-in-law, do you know?" Zhou asked.

"In ancient times, there was a talented woman who compared the fluttering snowflakes to willow catkins. Since then, the term 'Yongxu talent' has come to refer to women who are talented in writing poetry and prose," Liu Tangxi explained.

After listening to Liu Tangxi's explanation, Zhou snorted coldly and said, "What? Talent? Bah! I heard that girl can't read a few words, how can she be talented?"

After being interrupted by Zhou, everyone sat back down, but their faces looked unhappy.

Liu Tangxi thought for a moment and said, "Mom, don't be angry. Your body belongs to you. If you get angry and have to take medicine, it's not worth it."

"Oh." Li sighed again.

"Think about it, their family wanted to marry their granddaughter to me, but it failed. Then they wanted to slander me behind my back, but it failed again. So, shouldn't they be even more angry?" Liu Tangxi comforted Li.

After a few people thought about it, they realized that this was indeed the case.

Li felt a little relieved.

However, Zhou still said a few words to Liu Tangxi: "Third sister-in-law, you are still too kind. If it were me, I would have rushed to their house and scolded them. It's really shameless. You didn't get the man and you still talk about others behind his back."

Liu Tangxi thought that although she was a calm person and didn't like to argue with others, she wasn't really kind. She was kind only to those who were good to her. As for those who wanted to stab her, sorry, she would not tolerate it anymore.

However, she didn't want to not only fail to solve the problem, but also get herself into trouble. Since the other party dared to say this behind her back, don't blame her for being rude.

There was one thing that she had been doubting about while reading the book, and after hearing about it today, she became even more doubtful.

"Mom, you just said that you saw the mother and daughter of the Li family on the day you saved me. What's going on? Why doesn't your daughter-in-law have any impression of it?" Liu Tangxi asked.

She really didn't know about this, and the original owner didn't have any memory of it.

When Li heard Liu Tangxi asking her about the mother and daughter of the Li family, her face did not look good. However, she still told her daughter-in-law about what happened that day.

"...After I saw you that day, the human trafficker started arguing with me, and then he just watched the mother and daughter coming over from a distance. I wanted to ask them for help, but the mother and daughter looked unhappy and didn't seem to want to help. I was a little anxious at the time, afraid that I couldn't save you. I didn't expect that the human trafficker suddenly agreed for some reason. Then I took you home and didn't pay any attention to the mother and daughter."

Liu Tangxi nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "Oh, so that's how it is."

After saying this, Liu Tangxi praised Li again: "Mother, although I don't remember the diary clearly, the feeling of fear is still there. When I think of you coming down from the sky to save me, I am extremely grateful."

Li smiled and patted Liu Tangxi's hand, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are all family, and it is a blessing for our family to marry you."

Mrs. Li was really satisfied with Liu Tangxi as her daughter-in-law, so she was very happy to marry Liu Tangxi.

Liu Tangxi smiled and casually mentioned another matter: "But, come to think of it, how could it be such a coincidence that my mother suddenly appeared that day? It shows that we are destined to be together."

"That's right." Zhou said, "The third brother's wife should marry into our family."

Liu Tangxi smiled and prepared to ask the question she wanted to ask. However, before she could say anything, Zhang asked it first.

"Come to think of it, it was the fortune teller who told mother." Zhang said in a low voice.

Zhang knew that the fortune teller had been arrested, and it was said that he had cheated people out of their money and was sued. She also knew that no one mentioned him much now, and even if they did, they would always look angry.

However, Liu Tangxi was indeed found by Li according to the guidance of the fortune teller, so the people in Li Laosan’s family have a rather complicated attitude towards the fortune teller.

As expected, Li also lowered her voice when she spoke, and said, "Indeed, if the fortune teller hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

Liu Tangxi rolled his eyes and asked, "Mom, what did the fortune teller tell you?"

Seeing Liu Tangxi's interest, Li looked around quickly. Seeing that her husband was not there, she whispered, "The fortune teller told me to bring 20 taels of silver as a betrothal gift, leave home at 15:00, walk to the village entrance, and then walk 2,000 steps, and I will see him."

After hearing these specific data, Liu Tangxi became more and more suspicious.

This was the first time she had heard a fortune teller describe things so specifically, and it was probably a conspiracy with someone. Of course, it was not ruled out that the fortune teller was a half-immortal, just like she now had a golden finger.

But, if he was really a half-immortal, how could he not have expected that he would be sued and go to jail?

So, it’s fake.

"Did you walk exactly two thousand steps when you saw me?" Liu Tangxi asked.

Li thought about it carefully and said, "It seems to be more than two thousand steps."

"Ah? Then how do you know it's mine?" Liu Tangxi continued to ask.

Li carefully recalled the situation at that time, with a trace of doubt on his face.

"Did anything else happen?" Liu Tangxi asked immediately.

Li thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I saw Ye Zi's mother and her husband first that day, but they were on the other side of the pit and didn't come over. I saw that there was no one around, so I thought the fortune teller was talking about Ye Zi. But when I was walking towards them, you suddenly appeared. At that time, I thought, it was destined."

After hearing this, what else did Liu Tangxi not understand?

This matter is most likely that Li Xiucai's family is in collusion with the fortune teller. They want both Wei Hanzhou's family's money and Wei Hanzhou himself.

"That fortune teller is quite capable." Zhou sighed.

"Really? I think so too, but your father and the third brother insisted that the person was a liar." Li said excitedly.

Zhang also nodded in agreement.

Liu Tangxi knew what he wanted to know, and felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, if the fortune teller was really that powerful, why didn't he predict that I would be arrested?"

Li and the others were startled and looked at each other with stunned expressions on their faces.

Indeed, why didn't they think of this before?

I heard that the fortune-telling stall was smashed, the people there were beaten and arrested, and then they seemed to have been taken away or something.

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand, Liu Tangxi didn't say anything more.

Even though Liu Tangxi had some doubts about Li Xiucai's family, he still had to ask Wei Hanzhou about this matter in the final analysis.

It just so happens that, according to what Li said, Wei Hanzhou should be back in the next few days.

Sure enough, Wei Hanzhou came back after two days.

Perhaps because she was looking forward to using Wei Hanzhou, Liu Tangxi felt that he seemed much better looking than before.

"Husband, you're back~" Liu Tangxi took the things from Wei Hanzhou's hand diligently.

"Are you tired, thirsty, or hungry?" Liu Tangxi asked again.

Wei Hanzhou looked carefully at Liu Tangxi's expression.

He could imagine her expression when he said that in the letter that day. She must have been very angry and might even curse him secretly.

He could already foresee that she would give him the cold shoulder after returning.

But I didn't expect that when I came back today, she would actually greet me with a smile.

Looking at the smile on his face, it doesn't seem forced.

After staring at Liu Tangxi for a while, Wei Hanzhou said, "Don't bother, I'll go see my parents first."

"Dad and Mom went to the mountains."

"Um."

Having said that, Wei Hanzhou went out and headed up the mountain.

In the evening, after Wei Hanzhou finished reading, he returned to his room early. When he returned, Liu Tangxi was still awake.

To be precise, Liu Tangxi was waiting for Wei Hanzhou.

As soon as Wei Hanzhou entered the door, he saw that his floor had been laid.

After taking a look at his own roof, Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi who was smiling at him.

"I heard everything from my mother. Thank you for persuading her that day."

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou agreed with her approach, Liu Tangxi was delighted. However, soon, this joy disappeared.

Does Wei Hanzhou mean that he doesn't agree with going to look for Li Xiucai's family?

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Husband, do you also think that mother shouldn't come to your house?"

Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Tangxi. He had just heard his mother talk about her words of persuasion to his mother in the main hall. It sounded very sensible and generous. But thinking of her usual behavior, he always felt that this matter was a little incongruous.

Looking at her expression at this moment, I felt a lot more comfortable.

"What do you think, madam?" Wei Hanzhou asked calmly.

Liu Tangxi frowned.

Wei Hanzhou is such a hypocritical person. There is no fluctuation in his eyes or facial expression, making it hard to tell what he is thinking.

Thinking that this man was a famous and infamous traitor in the book, Liu Tangxi gave up after thinking for a moment.

She should stop beating around the bush and just say what she wants to say.

She just didn't believe it. With Wei Hanzhou's personality, could he really tolerate Li Xiucai ruining his family's reputation like this?

"Husband~" Liu Tangxi approached Wei Hanzhou, pinched his sleeve and called out.

Seeing that there seemed to be some fluctuation in Wei Hanzhou's eyes, Liu Tangxi blinked at him and made a cute look.

That day on the mountain, when she was acting coquettishly towards him, he responded to her every request.

"I am your wife, and we are husband and wife. If they say something about me, isn't that the same as saying something about you?"

Husband and wife as one.

The fluctuations in Wei Hanzhou's eyes became even more intense.

The author has something to say: Future updates will be tentatively scheduled at 9pm~

V Zhang sends out red envelopes at irregular intervals. There is no rule. He may send out red envelopes whenever he wants.

"After Being Targeted by My Powerful Cousin (Rebirth)" by Wei Zhu

Qing Jiusi has died once and has seen all kinds of things in the world.

Returning to the age of thirteen, she, who was walking on thin ice in the palace, only wanted to break off the engagement and take revenge, wait for her brother to grow up, leave the palace and inherit the title, revive the family, never marry, and become the eldest daughter of the Qing family who has the final say.

It is growing bigger day by day, more than the previous life.

She is beautiful, charming and lovely. Just a slight smile is enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her, making a group of noble men covet her.

One of them was actually Zhang Yang, a ruthless and murderous official who made everyone tremble with fear. This... this, logically she should still call him uncle.

Can't afford to offend, can only be good (dog man

"Be good, Qingqing, come here, your uncle will support your waist."

This move lifted her from an orphan girl living by the Empress Dowager's side to a wealthy person, but it also forced her into a marriage and brought her into the brothel of a wealthy man, who coaxed and deceived her and took advantage of her.

Qing Jiusi looked pleased on the surface, but felt sorry in his heart.

Until one day her brother gained power, she faked her death and disappeared without a trace...

The man panicked, and began his long journey to chase his wife (hahahaha, you have come to this day too

The blackened orphan girl living under someone else's cage x Zhang Yang, the cruel governor,
