Duan Xiaohe did not speak the truth, but only said that it was from a certain young miss who had come to buy clothes from him. Old man Duan immediately let out a sigh of relief. After giving up, he felt that her reaction was a little too overboard, so she started laughing and talking about other things.

"Oh right, why haven't I seen Xiao Yue?"

Just as Liu San asked, Lady Wang scolded Duan Xiaohe jokingly, saying that she, a woman, isn't even as meticulous as Young Master, and praising him for knowing how to find her sister-in-law.

Duan Xiaohe laughed, these words made the Liu San sound so vulgar. Liu San's face was filled with awkwardness as he looked at Duan Xiaohe carefully, afraid that she would knock over the jealousy jar again.

Just as she was speaking, Duan Xiaoyue ran in from the outside and saw her, and hurriedly stuffed something into her mouth. She took a bite, and the one that was sour and sweet was Qing Mei.

"Why are there still green plums around this time?" The Liu San was curious, they had already picked the plum blossoms in May and June, how could they still pick fresh ones at this time.

Duan Xiaoyue shyly called out to her brother-in-law, and then grabbed a few things in front of him before saying: "Qing Mei on the other side of the mountain has always been late by one or two months, but the taste is very good, today some little sister called me to go with her."

It was only then that Duan Xiaohe remembered that there was a patch of forest on the mountain next to the Fujiang Village. When they were young, they would often go steal Qing Mei.

"If we pick it again this year, we won't be able to pick it next year. I heard that the owner of that forest is going to sell it."

"Why are you selling it?"

Duan Xiaoyue took another one and placed it in her mouth, as she said unclearly: "That son-in-law made a huge fortune, and said that he wanted to take them out as well.

Duan Xiaohe sensed something, and when she raised her head, she actually met Liu San's eyes. They looked at each other and smiled before saying to Old Man Duan, "Dad, help me ask how much this forest costs? If the price is right, we'll buy it. "

"That's a whole forest, how much is it? Besides, how can you have so much money? If you have money, then you should live your life, and only the Liu San, an honest man, will love you so much, that you can do whatever you want with it. "

Only after hearing about Duan Xiaoyue from Lady Wang did Old Man Duan realize that the two of them were living quite well.

"Help me ask around, I have the money here." Duan Xiaohe thought again, if Old Man Duan encountered something that he wasn't willing to do, he would be even more slow. This matter could not be delayed, how could he let others take advantage of him? Liu San, go and ask my father, as long as the price is suitable, you can directly set it. "

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hurry up!" We still have to return to the Liu Village. " As he said that, he stuffed his money pouch into Liu San's hands, chasing him away quickly.

After the two men left, Lady Wang said worriedly: "That forest is not small, but a few green plums can't sell for money, your money is really ruined, it's not like you can live like this."

Duan Xiaohe, on the other hand, did not mind, "Even if Qingmei is not worth much, there are other things that are worth a lot. You think I only see those plum trees? "I like the land of the woods. If I don't plant the green plum, I can grow something else."

Duan Xiaohe cooked a few simple dishes and some rolled buns.

When the deal was concluded, he immediately gave the money to the land deed to prove that Liu San still had some left over and thus bought a huge bass fish that he had just caught from a fellow villager.

The Duan Clan's father was full of praise. "How lazy you were at home in the past. You're really different now that you're married. Even your cooking skills have become so good that you're able to open a restaurant now, right?"

Duan Xiaohe smiled unnaturally. Since she said that one had to learn to live their life after getting married, then naturally, she knew everything.

"Lady Wang picked up a flower roll, feeling fresh. I don't even know where you get the snow. "

She fed a mouthful of fish, vaguely saying that she had learned it from the village manager. Liu San put another piece into her bowl, "Be careful of the fish bones."

Duan Xiaohe did not dare look into the eyes that had suddenly become deep, and ate the meal as if she was chewing on wax, and then called Liu San back.

Before she left, Father Duan called her to the side and asked her if Zhu Chai, who was married to him, was still around. Only when she said that she had been pressing on the bottom of the box the whole time and hadn't even touched it did he heave a sigh of relief.

Duan Xiaohe felt that this was strange, so she asked: "Father, what is this? That Zhu Chai is not worth much, I just want to throw it away. "

"What are you throwing at!" Old Man Duan snapped, "You dare to throw away the thing you married! Keep it well, and even if it dies, bring it into the coffin! "

Duan Xiaohe was given a huge fright as she jumped onto the oxcart, urging the Liu San to hurry up and leave. At the same time, she turned her head back to look at father Duan, who was still standing at the entrance with lingering fear in her heart. "Why are you being so fierce?"

"Liu San would glance at her from time to time, as if he had brought it up by accident. What you said to your father doesn't seem to be the same. "

She pretended to be calm and continued to hold the green plums in her hand. "How is it different? Isn't he still calling me 'daughter', and I'm still calling him 'father'?"

"Your father said that when you saw an unfamiliar man, you would blush. If you didn't know how to cook, you wouldn't even dare to kill fish. He said that even if you met him outside, you wouldn't greet him. He said that you were greedy and that you couldn't read …"

When she heard that, she trembled, and heard that the Liu San paused for a bit, before continuing, "Greed was right."

"Now I blush when I see a man. "How could my father, a grown man, understand me so well, both in and out of my mother's house?"

Liu San suddenly stopped his driving and looked straight at her. Duan Xiaohe, who did you learn how to read? "

She thought that she was screwed, it must be that Duan Xiaoyue's indenture contract had been exposed.

"Liu San's body suddenly pressed down, his cold eyes were not at all calm. Did Qin Rui teach you? I said, stay away from him in the future. "

She moved her lips and directly threw the black pot onto Qin Rui's back. "Got it."

"After hearing this, he moved his body back and spoke of the forest." What are you going to do about that forest? "

Duan Xiaohe loosened one of the green plums in her hand into her own mouth and threw the other one into his. " In two days, I'll go find Qian Qiaoqiao and tell her about the restaurant. This green plum blossom could be made into green plum jam and brewed green plum wine. And I'm going to plant something else. I can't hang myself from a tree. "

"Liu San pulled her to his side, and held her tightly against his chest. "What about me? Are you willing to hang yourself on my tree?"

Duan Xiaohe was extremely embarrassed. She whispered into his ear, "Tonight, I will wait for you under the second tree by the river."

Her warm breath sprayed on his sensitive ears, making him feel restless and anxious to get rid of her right now. Duan Xiaohe pressed her chest with a serious face.

"The second tilted tree."

That day, Duan Xiaohe went to the Haitang's family after dinner. When it was dark, the Liu San could no longer sit still, and walked back and forth towards the river bank, but she did not see the second tilted tree. The cold wind blew for a long time, listening to the sound of water for a long time, and then came back home dejectedly.

Looking at his wife on the brick bed, Liu San was dumbfounded, "Didn't you say …"

Duan Xiaohe was overjoyed, the Liu San realized the situation later, and jumped onto the brick bed to severely punish her. In the end, she shouted for her waist to hurt, and it ended with a change.

The next day, Liu Wang came back with instructions that a few ladies had come to find her to make some clothes. Song Fangxue's hand speed was rather fast, they were satisfied with just embroidering a few patterns, so Duan Xiaohe's drawing and design was all that was left.

He passed over the drawings he made a few days ago and told Liu Wang that if the other party was not satisfied with the drawing and he could change some of the details. Manager Zhang was smart, he knew what to do. In addition, the patterns embroidered on the crabapple had also come out. They also wanted Liu Wang to bring it over and set it up for them, so that the other half could be made for the crabapple after it had been set down.

He had nearly forgotten about the land in his house while he was busy with the shop. Now, including the land he had just bought, there were two pieces of land in Duan Xiaohe's possession, and three pieces of Liu Family.

Liu Er and Liu San were the only ones controlling the land. Occasionally, Old Man Liu would go down to help them, but every time, he would come back breathlessly and say why did he want to buy so much, and it was enough to buy a few acres of land.

Duan Xiaohe would occasionally make a few bowls of noodles or prepare some osmanthus cake, and then make a big pot of water to send to the fields. When Liu Da and Liu San were tired, they would rest in the shade to eat something to replenish their energy, making the other men's hearts warm. Gradually, other families' wives could be seen giving gifts to the villagers in the fields. Sometimes, they would even invite their wives over to help them out. It was so competitive that it became lively just by looking at them.

Every time she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go down to work together, the Liu San would force her to come up, saying that she couldn't do it because her waist wasn't good enough. Others would laugh at Liu San, but he would say that his wife was going to give him a baby, so he couldn't get sick right now. When the village wives heard this, they became displeased and began to criticize their men. There was no one in the Liu San that would care about their wives.

Liu Da's heart was burning with passion as he pointed at Duan Xiaohe and said that he wanted a wife. Old Man Liu's face was filled with excitement, thinking that his foolish son had finally been enlightened, as he nodded continuously, he had to pay attention to a wife as good as Duan Xiaohe.

Duan Xiaohe, who had not been in town for a long time, finally found a time to meet Qian Qiaoqiao. Qian Qiaoqiao was surprised to see the both of them standing outside the tavern.

"Yo, I thought you forgot about my restaurant, so you gave me that one hundred silver while you were at it."

Duan Xiaohe took out a hundred silver taels worth of banknotes from her bosom. How could I dare to forget big sister? I didn't gather enough money, so I didn't have the nerve to come. "

Qian Qiaoqiao did not even spare her another glance as she lowered her head and calculated, "I heard that you opened a shop in the county, and even the Manager Zhang was taken away by you. This business is big, do you really need to personally come here for such a small matter like money?"

She took out the jam she made and the osmanthus flower, pushing them towards Qian Qiaoqiao, "Others don't have to come personally, I can't be that heartless. I came over to discuss business with you."
