In the afternoon, the rain had lessened, and a faint golden light could be seen on the edge of the clouds. Wang Meihua was sure that the sky was about to clear up. It was a child's day in June. As expected, the heavy rain that was still pouring down in the morning lessened significantly. Lotus was still thinking about going home to look after the child, so she didn't stay any longer.

Before she left, Jiaoniang went to the icehouse and hid a piece of wild boar meat in her grass basket. She covered it tightly with the straw hat and told Jiaoniang to take it back with her to make up for the children. This way, the lotus flowers would take into account Jiaoniang's good feelings towards her and be a bit more tolerant when facing Chen Liu'er's dissatisfaction.

As soon as the rain stopped, the villagers' smiles increased. No matter what, the heavens had not gone too far.

It had been raining for days, so Wang Meihua took out all the clothes from her house and put them on. When the rain stopped, she also had to wash a bunch of clothes. Not only that, but she also had to dry the clothes and quilts that were used during the autumn and winter.

Jiaoniang couldn't let Jiaoniang hang her clothes in the yard. She asked Ye Xuan to chop bamboo in the back mountain to take a rest, tied a hemp rope to a place that could dry clothes. The river was surrounded by a group of women who were washing their clothes. Wang Meihua and Qiu Ju came with a large basin of clothes. Orchid and Tieh Dan played with the copper coins under a willow tree at the side.

There were only a few peaches left on the trees. Wang Meihua calculated that the peaches on the bridge were ownerless so she could pick two on her way back to have a taste.

There were also people living on the other side of the bridge, but there were fewer people. On the other side of the bridge, people also came downstream to wash their clothes. The women, who were usually busy doing their daily chores, were chattering merrily.

When someone saw Wang Meihua, they were planning to greet her. Now, no one in the village didn't know that Jiaoniang would bring her mother and brother over after chasing her mother-in-law away.

That Wang Family Village was even worse than their Lin Family village. If they left the widowed mother there, she would even need to feed the laggards. The entire village would probably only wish for them to be able to leave.

"Aunt Wang, since Tieh Dan is so handsome, you might as well not go back to the Wang Family Village and stay with us."

The woman who spoke was the famous big-mouthed woman in the village. Wang Meihua was honest, but she was not stupid. She knew that this woman meant for Tieh Dan to marry into Lin Family Village, but she did not think that other people would not be able to tolerate males into other people's families.

This woman clearly said that Tieh Dan was living off his married sister, and he was probably going to be a weakling who would live off women. Wang Meihua suppressed her anger and pulled Qiu Ju aside as if she wanted to say something, "Who knows what will happen in the future?" Young Master Wu has always said that Tieh Dan is a material for studying. If he were to be successful in the future, there would be no need for him to marry a farmer's wife.

Everyone burst out laughing. Wang Meihua's idea was simply wishful thinking. When she turned around and saw Tieh Dan, who was squatting under the peach tree and playing with the two kids, she laughed even louder.

"Aunt Wang, then did Young Master Wu really say that?" Some women giggled and asked, clearly not believing her words.

Everyone knew that Wu Sinan was the best to eat the wild game in the countryside, and the price he offered was high. Now that the road outside the village had been repaired, Wu Sinan would come here every two or three days, so it was possible that he wouldn't return to stay here at night. The villagers all tried their best to please Wu Sinan, and there were even some girls who were looking forward to getting married. They dressed up like flowers and walked around the village everyday, hoping to get a love affair with a rich family.

No one could blame these people for putting in all their effort to reach Wu Sinan. Everyone heard that Lin Fang's family skillfully made a straws for Wu Sinan and actually got 20 taels of silver. My god, that was twenty taels! Some of them were jealous to the point that their eyes turned red.

Most of the villagers knew that Wu Sinan was diligent in running to Jiaoniang's house, and although they didn't say anything on the surface, they all secretly said that they didn't know if that Young Master Wu was interested in Jiaoniang's looks, but all the people in the village knew that Ye Xuan and Jiaoniang had things that they couldn't see, so they didn't dare to say it in front of Ye Xuan.

You said that Jiaoniang didn't want to let the majestic Ye Xuan off, but even the children of the rich and powerful families in the village took a fancy to her beauty. For a moment, the village had a lot of words to say about Jiaoniang.

Wang Meihua had been a widow for so many years, and she knew that there were many troubles at the door of a widow's house. However, there was nothing she could do about Jiaoniang. How could Tieh Dan continue to stand out? She also had her own selfish thoughts.

Wang Meihua didn't want to care about those long-tongued women, so she carried the clothes and walked upstream. Qiu Ju followed behind her and comforted, "Aunt, you also know that there are too many people in the village to stop us. Why don't you just ignore the gossip and disperse after a while?"

Wang Meihua sighed. It wasn't that she didn't know this logic, but it was just a boil on her body after all. No matter what others said, it would be useless. He hated that he didn't have a responsibility to take Ye Xuan, so he didn't mention that he had married Jiaoniang.

After washing her clothes, Wang Meihua angrily walked past Ye Xuan, who was fixing the cow shed. She couldn't help but give him a cold snort and give him a supercilious look.

Ye Xuan was confused. He didn't know how he offended his future mother-in-law. Just as he was about to ask Qiu Ju, she gave him a helpless look and walked away.

Tieh Dan and Orchid, who had just finished walking, came bouncing back with the copper coins and singing songs. Behind them was the small basket that Lin Yang's parents made earlier, which contained half a basket of grass and two peaches.

"Ye-dage, where is my sister?" Tieh Dan, on the other hand, didn't act like Wang Meihua. Ye Xuan felt relieved and pointed at the backyard, "She took the rabbit to be reared in the backyard, you guys should go take a look."

The moment they heard that the little rabbit had been released, Tieh Dan and Orchid ran over in a flash, not forgetting to take out the babbling copper coins.

When they arrived at the backyard, Tieh Dan saw a rabbit eating a vegetable in the garden with its head out. Tieh Dan arrived in the backyard and saw a rabbit eating a vegetable in the garden with its head out of the window.

Afraid of scaring them, Tieh Dan and Orchid lowered their footsteps and squatted two meters away from the rabbits, quietly watching them.

Jiaoniang is telling Lotus how to raise rabbits, "From now on every morning in the evening, the two of them are to be released for ventilation, so you must watch carefully, don't let the rabbits run away, you can call the people in the yard if you need anything. The dishes in the garden had already been stopped. It wouldn't be a problem even if he ate a few mouthfuls. When it gets hot at noon, you can put the rabbits in the storage room and then go to the icehouse to get ice from the icehouse. Don't be reluctant to use ice, the value of these two rabbits is much higher than the ice in the icehouse. "

Jiaoniang said in a serious tone, causing Tieh Dan and Orchid to retreat two steps in fright. Wang Meihua kept nagging about how much the ice cellar cost every day. She never thought that these two rabbits would be more expensive than this!
