Chapter 171 Mu Yunzhao was hit
Although Mu Yunzhao paid off the money she owed to the embroidery workshop, it was not done by her own doing.
It was the silver that King Qi sent to the Mu family last time.
The embroidery shop came to her house to demand repayment, and Mu's father and mother felt embarrassed and had to help her pay the money back.
Including when she was bitten by a pack of wolves, she spent a lot of money.
Mu Yunzhao didn't dare to refute Tong at this time, because she knew that she was a burden to the Mu family. If she didn't behave well, she would really be kicked out of the house.
"Okay, sister-in-law, Zhaozhao will go now."
He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
The more Mu Yunzhao acted like this, the angrier Tong became.
This sister-in-law is used to using this kind of trick, as if she, as the eldest sister-in-law, is intolerant and has suffered a lot of injustice.
If she doesn't set up a stage to perform, it would be a waste of her excellent acting skills.
After Mu Yunzhao finished chopping firewood, Tong asked her to fetch water and wash clothes, and threw all the clothes in the family to her.
At this time, Mu Yunzhao was washing clothes in the yard when she heard a voice coming from the wall. "Hey! Isn't that Miss Mu? Why are you feeling wronged again?"
Cuicui has always been outspoken and says whatever she thinks.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into Mu Yunzhao's trap and caused trouble for Lin Zhiyi.
Before they fell out, every time Mu Yunzhao worked in the yard, Cuicui would come over to help her.
Mu Yunzhao said a lot to her at that time, but it was nothing more than that her elder brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her.
She sympathized with Mu Yunzhao.
But now, she didn't believe Mu Yunzhao at all.
I just feel that there must be a reason why Mu Yunzhao's sister-in-law treated her like this.
That day, when the wolves came down the mountain, the eldest sister-in-law of the Mu family stood up to protect Mu Yunzhao.
"I'm telling you, Miss Mu, you've been staying at home all this time and I'm afraid you don't know, but something big has happened in our village. That Miss Lin you hate has been named a county lady by the emperor."
"That's a fifth-rank imperial decree, the highest honor in our village. Even the village chief said he wanted to erect a monument to encourage farming in her honor. She's truly amazing."
Cuicui glanced at Mu Yunzhao with contempt. "Look at you again, tsk, people are really different. You only know how to scheme against others behind their backs. No wonder you can't become a county lady."
"What? County Lord?"
Mu Yunzhao took a long time to react, and stared at Cuicui with wide eyes, "Impossible!"
Lin Zhiyi was very miserable in her previous life. Even her own children didn't recognize her.
Not to mention the fifth-rank county lady.
They were in Xishui Village, so far away from Chang'an, so how come Lin Zhiyi suddenly became a county lady?
But seeing that what Cuicui said didn't seem to be false, she had another guess. Could it be that it was the deposed crown prince? Did the deposed crown prince ask for it for her?
She knew that even if Li Wenjing was deposed, he was still the emperor's son. How could the emperor ignore him?
It seems that this is the benefit of being close to the deposed crown prince.
This rekindled Mu Yunzhao's desire to get close to Li Wenjing.
"What's impossible? Miss Lin is really amazing. It turns out that the curved plow we use in our fields was made by her. We still use it when we plow the land. My father always says it's very useful. Not to mention an old ox, he can even pull the plow himself."
Mu Yunzhao was slightly stunned!
Quyuanli?
What is that? What is it used for?
Cuicui looked at her and sneered again, "Miss Mu, I bet you don't even know what a plow is for? I heard that both your Mu and Lin families are officials in Chang'an, and they came to our village after getting into trouble. But Lord Lin is a kind official who cares about the people, not a corrupt official like you say."
"We're both young ladies who grew up in Chang'an City, but Miss Lin knows everything. Meanwhile, Miss Mu, you only know how to do evil things behind people's backs. What's the difference? Yes, there's a world of difference."
Mu Yunzhao was angry!
How could Lin Zhiyi, a divorced second-married woman, compare with her?
Is she worthy of Lin Zhiyi?
"When did I ever say that Uncle Lin was a corrupt official? Don't accuse him falsely." Mu Yunzhao retorted.
Cuicui looked at her innocent face and laughed again, "Yeah, you didn't say it, but you hinted at it in many ways. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being too stupid and letting you take advantage of me."
"I'm telling you, Mu Yunzhao, you won't have an easy time in Xishui Village while Cuicui is here!"
Cuicui made some harsh remarks, but Mu Yunzhao did not take them seriously.
Her mind was full of Lin Zhiyi being conferred the title of County Lady.
She was so capable that she even invented the curved plow.
She knew Lin Zhiyi too well. Lin Zhiyi was a useless person who could barely read or write. How could he make a curved plow?
It must have been made by Li Wenjing and attributed to Lin Zhiyi, in order to obtain an imperial decree for her and pave the way for marrying her in the future.
I didn’t expect Li Wenjing to do so much for Lin Zhiyi!
They are guilty of deceiving the emperor!
No, one day, she will expose them!
———
At the Lin family’s dinner table.
Lin Zhiyi prepared a full potato feast: hot and sour potato shreds, dry pot potato slices, beef stewed with potatoes, pork stewed with potatoes, three fresh vegetables, fried potato cakes, wolf tooth potatoes... and so on.
However, private slaughter of cattle is not allowed, but old cattle approved by the government can still be sold.
Lin Zhiyi instructed Chai Ya and Fang Mama that if they came across beef in the market, they should buy more and make beef jerky for Zheng'er and Lu'er.
Beef is the most nutritious, and eating it will make children stronger and more energetic.
Therefore, beef can often be seen on the Lin family’s dining table.
"Auntie, is this a potato? Lu'er likes it."
When Lin Zhiyi was making a potato feast in the kitchen, Lu'er couldn't wait and ran to the kitchen to check several times.
Although she swallowed her saliva several times out of greed, she knew that once the food was served on the table, how could she eat first without the elders picking up their chopsticks?
I waited until my grandfather Lin Fu started eating and said, "Everyone, eat."
Only then did Luer couldn't wait to pick up the wolf tooth potato closest to her.
Considering the children, Lin Zhiyi made two servings, one slightly spicy and one non-spicy.
Of course, the spicy seasoning is made from peppers that Lin Zhiyi grows himself.
Ordinary people in this era could not afford pepper, it was a special supply for the royal family.
As the main spicy seasoning, Cornus officinalis is far inferior to pepper.
Lin Zhiyi planted several acres of chili peppers, which were the Chaotian peppers that had never appeared in this dynasty.
At that time, no one understood what Lin Zhiyi was planting. Only today did they understand that the chili pepper that Zhizhi was talking about was actually better than pepper.
Naturally, the villagers of Xishui Village had no idea what the Lin family was growing, let alone stealing it.
After the wolves bit the villagers last time, not only Xishui Village knew about it, but even the other villages knew that the Lin family's fields were protected by wolves, and no one dared to wander around in the Lin family's fields.
This also shocked Li Wenjing.
Originally, Zhizhi told him that she had been enlightened by an immortal. He was skeptical at the time, but thinking about it today, this was the only explanation.
It seems that he has to implement his plan as soon as possible and try to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will feel that he is not worthy of Lin Zhiyi.
