The small courtyard surrounded by the fence was very neat and tidy. Beside the wall were two small vegetable fields. There were some vegetables growing in the fields, but as it was autumn, the vines had turned yellowish, with a few old melons hanging from them.

Behind the vegetable patch, there were three houses lined up in a row. On the left and right side, there was also an embryo room. There was a window on each side of the room, and from the outside, it was dark and impossible to see clearly. If Wenxiu guessed correctly, according to the villagers' habits, there would be an embryo room on the left and right, one for the kitchen and the other for the pigsty and the latrine.

The main door of the hall in the middle of the room was open. From the outside, one could only see the foot of the Eight Immortals Table and a black cabinet. There was no sound at all from within the room.

No one at home?

Song Xiaoyue walked in front. She didn't know that Wen Xiu had already looked around the small courtyard. She walked up to the eaves and after looking around, she shouted, "Sister Spring Root, Sister Spring Root, are you home?"

"Hey, he's here. Wait a moment!"

Not long after, a woman walked out from the room on the right and greeted Song Xiaoyue with a smile. The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her skin was somewhat dark, but her oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, and facial features were quite pretty. If her skin was even whiter, her beauty would be first class.

In Wen Xiu's memory, she had never seen this woman before. In other words, even if she had seen her before, she didn't have a deep impression of her. She saw that the woman was sizing her up and did not know how to greet anyone for a while, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

Seeing Wenxiu and his wife looking at each other without saying a word, Song Xiaoyue smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Sister Chungen, she's Wenxiu. You've met her before."

His wife nodded and crisply replied, "I have indeed seen one!"

Wenxiu smiled at him again, explaining her purpose of coming here.

Chungen's wife was a real person. When she heard that she wanted to buy potatoes, she asked how much she wanted. After obtaining Xiu Xiu's permission, she directly asked for the price.

Originally, Wenxiu didn't know how much potatoes were, but she was brought here by Song Xiaoyue. She still believed in Song Xiaoyue very much. She couldn't possibly cheat her, could she? She did not bargain, but asked his wife to weigh a hundred pounds first.

This year's potato harvest was good, big and round, but how could the family eat so much? If you meet someone who buys potatoes for the right price, they'll sell some of them.

Although the Chungen family did not lack this small amount of money, it was always good to have some money to spend. The wife took the copper coins that Wenxiu had made before and counted them in front of her face.

Wenxiu didn't know him well and was in a hurry to leave for noon. She thanked him directly and carried the potatoes out of Chungen's house with Song Xiaoyue.

Chungen's wife returned the borrowed weighing rod and weight. She looked at the direction the two of them left and mumbled to herself. Why did this guy sound different when he said he despised and despised people who bullied him? She seemed to have nothing to do with those bad reputations!

Wenxiu was not in the mood to think about the impression her daughter-in-law had of her. Her heart was preoccupied with the potatoes. She had not expected that it would be so easy to buy potatoes today. She had thought that they would cost her a lot of effort or money.

Song Xiaoyue walked behind her and when she heard her whisper, she gave a "pu" sound of laughter. She slowed down her shoulders and said, "Sister Spring Root is famous in the village for being nice and kind. She never fights with others, and she stays at home most of the time. The reason I brought you to her house to buy potatoes is because they are really good, and because she is a real person. "

Oh, I see.

At the same time as Wenxiu understood Chungen's daughter-in-law, she also had a general understanding of the Chungen family.

The family name of Chungen is Liu, the family of Chungen's daughter-in-law is from White Fruit Village, and the family name is Li. The couple had been married for more than ten years and had given birth to a daughter of Liu Xiang. The Chungen family was the only child of the third generation. Because the Li family didn't have a son, the Chunyuan mother always talked about the Li family in front of Chungen. It was no different from saying that Mrs. Li was going to put an end to the incense for the Liu family.

Since Madame Li had broken the Liu family's incense, she had to find someone else to replace it.

Chungen doted on his wife and even doted on his daughter. He didn't care about his mother's suggestion of taking him a concubine and once even had a quarrel about it. The Spring Root's Mother was furious, beating her chest and stomping her feet on the road, scolding her son's wife for not being good.

However, Chungen was unmoved. Once again, he was certain that he was guarding Liu Chunshen, this daughter of his. His son was like a god riding a horse, letting nature take its course. As for being a concubine, he wouldn't accept it no matter what.

The root mother could not get over the root of the elm, so she could only shake her head and sigh. Taking in a concubine was the dream of many men, but when it came to their own son, they couldn't feel it at all.

Sigh, what a sin!

Mother Spring thought of her grandson until he went mad. Not long after, she became a fool. Two years later, the year before, she went straight away.

When Wen Xiu heard this, she sighed in her heart.

Did the Liu family have a throne to inherit? Did they have to have a son? But looking at Madame Li, she must also have her methods. Otherwise, why would Liu Chungen be so dead set on her for so many years?

"Sigh, if only my Yan Qing could be like Brother Spring Root …"

When Wenxiu heard this, she raised her brows and asked, "Does your family's Yanqing have any other ideas?" Somehow, the proud face of Peach Blossom floated through her mind.

"Nope, I didn't do anything. I was just worried that he would divorce me!"

After Song Xiaoyue finished speaking, she could not help but feel her heart hurt.

As the ancients said, there are three when it comes to filial piety. Madame Li had even given birth to a daughter for the Liu family that had been teased by the Chungen mother for many years, but what about her? After marrying into the Wang family, it had been five years. Not to mention a daughter, there wasn't even an egg. If the Wang family or Wang Yanqing really had such thoughts, they wouldn't have to blame her for seventy percent of the time. Even if they were to marry a small one back, it would be enough for her to suffer for the rest of her life.

Since Song Xiaoyue didn't have any children, Wenxiu didn't know how to comfort her. However, she had heard people say that some people had a later period of love, and having children was a bit late, so it wasn't really impossible.

"Mistress Yue, don't put too much pressure on me. The greater the pressure, the harder it will be for you to bear."

Song Xiaoyue sighed and answered.

When Wen Xiu saw that she had stopped talking, she did not know whether she had heard what he had said just now or not. This question of a child really had to be brought up by fate. It only happens once a month. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another month.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the crowded area, and when the kind villagers saw what they were carrying, their faces were filled with scorn and mockery. They had thought that Wen Xiu had picked up a lot of silver. It seemed that she had only bought the items she had picked up yesterday. If he really made a fortune, why did he have to buy so many potatoes and hoard them when he returned home?

Song Xiaoyue was indignant and wanted to reply, but Wenxiu quickly stopped her. If her mouth was on him, how could they control it?
