Chapter 8: 71-80

Chapter 71

"Xia Lan."

Xia Yang realized this person belatedly. She was the younger sister of this body. They usually had a good relationship and she was also a member of the lower class of the Xia family.

"Third brother." Xia Lan ran over and said happily: "I thought I recognized the wrong one! Brother, you have gained weight."

Xia Yang touched his cheek. He was indeed a lot fatter than half a year ago. He was no longer pale and thin, and his body was much stronger and stronger.

Looking at the little girl in front of him with a smile and sincere eyes, Xia Yang's throat moved, "You are still so thin."

The little girl's hair was combed neatly, but the hair was obviously dry and lacked nutrition. Her face was also thin, a typical palm-sized face.

"Now I don't often go hungry." Xia Lan said: "I can eat at the table."

The hidden meaning was that she was still not full, but she was much better than before. The smile in her eyes was obviously satisfied, and she was a little shy when she spoke.

Xia Yang understood that she was living well in her husband's family, and the man she married should treat her well.

"Where are you going?" Xia Yang asked, "Are you going to the market in town?"

He saw a woman in her twenties not far away, looking anxiously at this place with obvious fear in her eyes.

"Going to town." Xia Lan pointed to the basket on her arm and said, "Going to sell handkerchiefs and buy some things for the New Year."

Xia Yang looked at her wearing a new red cotton jacket, which seemed to be a wedding dress, but the pants and shoes underneath were obviously old.

"I only made you a cotton jacket, but no new pants and shoes?" Xia Yang asked.

"Uh." Xia Lan was stunned. Seeing Xia Yang's bad face, she forced a smile and said, "I have new shoes. I made them myself. It's not easy to walk on the snowy road and it will wear out your shoes."

"Huh." Xia Yang snorted coldly. He didn't say much. He glanced at the woman not far away and said, "Who is that person?"

"Sister-in-law from my husband's family." Xia Lan turned her head and saw the woman waving at her with an anxious look on her face. "Third brother, are you okay now? How do your husband's family treat you? They must have made things difficult for you, right?" She

knew that her sister-in-law was in a hurry to get on the road, and asked a series of questions, wanting to know Xia Yang's situation. "You look a lot fatter. Didn't they make things difficult for you because of family matters?"

"No." Xia Yang smiled. He didn't want to talk about what happened when he first arrived at the Liu family. "I'm fine. Don't you have to worry."

Seeing Xia Lan's little face gradually turned red from the cold, he called her to get in the car. "Come on, I'm going to the town to go to the market too. Let your sister-in-law come over with me."

Because of Xia Lan's words, Xia Yang knew that this cheap sister should marry a good family. He heard from Wang Hao that the Xia family did not give a dowry.

Xia Lan's current state, with a look of satisfaction on her face, shows that her in-laws are all nice people, and Xia Yang doesn't mind doing them a favor.

"Sister-in-law." Xia Lan ran over, grabbed the woman's arm, and said with a smug smile: "Let's go, let's take Third Brother's ox cart to the town, and we don't have to wade through the snow again."

"Hey." The woman stopped Xia Lan, looked at Xia Yang and then at her brother and sister-in-law in front of her, and asked vigilantly: "Your third brother? Which third brother? Are they relatives?"

"It's my real third brother." Xia Lan said: "He married in Liujia Village, and I was thinking of going to see him during the New Year! I didn't expect to meet him today."

"Hurry up." Xia Lan didn't say anything, and pulled the woman to the ox cart, "My third brother is still waiting, he is also going to the town to attend the market."

"Here you go." Xia Yang took out a thin quilt from the backpack, which Liu Jingwen always told him to bring, but he had never used it once, "Cover yourself."

"Oh!" Xia Lan looked at the brand new thin quilt with a look of pity on her face, "Third brother, how can such a good quilt be used on the cart? What a waste."

"Your brother-in-law prepared it for me to use when I encounter snow on the road." Xia Yang smiled and said with gentle eyes: "He was afraid that I would be cold on the road, so he always told me to bring it with me."

His heart was warm. He was wearing a cotton jacket inside and a cotton robe outside, so why did he need to bring a quilt to keep warm? This was all Liu Jingwen's deep affection for him!

"Brother-in-law is so good to you." Xia Lan put the thin quilt back into the backpack on the car and said: "We can't use it anymore. This is prepared by brother-in-law for you."

She looked at the brand new quilt. It was obvious that Xia Yang had never used it before, and Xia Lan was even more reluctant to waste it.

Using such a good quilt to cover herself for warmth, her heart was bleeding. Except for the days of getting married, she had never covered herself with a new quilt before.

"There is a torn cotton-padded jacket in the backpack." Xia Yang watched Xia Lan's movements and did not stop her. He just said, "Take it out and cover your legs."

"Isn't this cotton-padded jacket old?" Xia Lan took out the cotton-padded jacket and looked at it from time to time. "Brother, how did you learn to squander money? It's about 70% to 80% new."

"Just cover it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xia Yang said to her impatiently, and then explained to Xia Lan, "This is your brother-in-law's cotton-padded jacket last year. He bought a new one and wore it. He gave this one to me to cover my legs while driving."

Thinking of Liu Jingwen's instructions, when encountering wind and snow on the road, a thin blanket was draped over the body and the cotton-padded jacket was

covered on the legs. Xia Yang couldn't help laughing when he said that it was so detailed. Xia Lan stopped talking after being told by her brother. She honestly covered her and her eldest sister-in-law's legs with the cotton-padded jacket and put her hands in to keep warm.

Zheng sat quietly on the side without saying a word. She had seen Xia Yang before, and she never dreamed that he would be the biological brother of her newly married younger brother's wife.

She had many questions in her mind. She wanted to ask why her brother didn't come to Xia Lan's wedding. She was also afraid that Xia Yang would hear her being beaten.

Zheng was now full of gratitude that she didn't listen to other people's advice and wanted to give her new sister-in-law a warning.

Like other families, she set some rules for her to let Xia Lan know her dignity and status as the eldest sister-in-law.

"Brother, I wanted to visit you during the Chinese New Year." Xia Lan said, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I was worried that you were not doing well."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Xia Yang said.

"Why did you come to Shanxia Village?" Xia Lan asked again, "I remember you married in Liujia Village?"

"I have a friend here, I came to see him." Xia Yang said.

He felt a little sorry because the owner of this body was treated unfairly, and the Xia family said that they would cut off relations after leaving.

Xia Yang had forgotten them long ago and thought that they would never meet in this life, so when Wang Hao talked about these things, he didn't ask a single question.

But meeting today proved that there was still some fate, and Xia Yang would not turn people away, after all, the original body had a good relationship with this sister.

"Oh." Xia Lan thought about it and wanted to ask Xia Yang something else, but she was worried that there were people around her who could not say it clearly, so she suppressed this idea.

Xia Yang asked: "How is the Xia family? Are you satisfied with the five taels of silver?"

"Very good." Xia Lan paused, and said in a stammering voice: "My parents didn't mention it, and my brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything again."

Since Xia Yang was thrown out by them, no one mentioned this person again, as if Xia Yang didn't exist in the family at all.

Xia Lan thought for a while and said: "They don't know that you are doing well now, brother, and they probably won't take the initiative to look for you."

"They dare." Xia Yang's eyes turned cold. If the Xia family wanted to get something from him, it would be impossible. "If they dare to come, don't blame me for kicking them out."

He saw with his own eyes the faces of the original body's brothers and sisters-in-law, and the inaction of the Xia family's parents, who actually watched their son get injured and didn't want to treat him.

She was eagerly looking forward to the day when the Liu family would get married, so that she could send the bride away, lest the Liu family take back the betrothal money, and not care about the life or death of the original body.

Xia Yang secretly thought that if there was no such marriage, the Xia family might not even give him food after he was injured.

"This?" Xia Lan hesitated. She didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, she said, "That's unfilial. Others will poke you in the back."

"Whatever." Xia Yang looked at Xia Lan with disdain and said, "They didn't give you any dowry. Have they ever thought about your situation in your husband's family?"

"Me." Xia Lan glanced at her sister-in-law sitting beside her quietly, and remained silent.

How could she not feel uncomfortable? Since she entered the house, she has been cautious and afraid of being disliked by her husband's family, and she is always worried.

How can there be a family that doesn't give dowry?

Even if they are poor, they should give less things, so as not to be unable to raise their heads in the husband's family and make their daughter's life difficult in the future.

"This cotton-padded jacket was fought for by me." Xia Lan said, "Mother said she would make me a new cotton-padded jacket, but my sisters-in-law disagreed and gave me their old clothes when they got married. It was me who insisted on getting this new jacket."

She also made a pair of shoes with scraps of cloth, so that she could get married without making a fool of herself.

Poor families here usually have new clothes to show off, and Xia Lan is quite satisfied with having a new cotton-padded jacket.

No matter what, she has no right to object. As long as she can stay until the day of her marriage, Xia Lan has nothing else to ask for!

Xia Yang drove the ox cart in silence. Seeing that Xia Lan stopped talking, he had no desire to talk either. He just told her, "Don't tell the Xia family about my encounter."

"Oh." Xia Lan looked up, looked at Xia Yang and said, "I know. I don't plan to go back in the future. But my family didn't say they would sever ties with me. I still have to go during the New Year."

"That's your business." Xia Yang said, "I don't care. You decide for yourself."

His words were hard, cold and ruthless, which hit Xia Lan. The enthusiasm they had just met slowly cooled down, and she couldn't find anything else to say.

The ox cart slowly moved forward. The closer it got to the town, the more people it met. Those who were walking in the snow with difficulty all looked at the people sitting in the ox cart with envy.

Seeing this scene, Xia Lan's silent heart slowly revived. She had ridden in an ox cart once or twice when she was a child, but she had fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the town after she grew up.

She would not let her spend money to take a car. She couldn't remember how long she hadn't ridden in an ox cart. She was so happy that she ignored the fact that she had ridden in an ox cart to her husband's house on the day of her wedding.

"Brother, is this your family's ox cart?" Xia Lan asked.

"Yes." Xia Yang replied.

"Do you always drive the ox cart when you go out? That's great." Xia Lan smiled.

"Heh." Xia Yang was amused by her. After all, she was a teenage girl, and her words were childish. "If you want to ride it again in the future, come find me."

Xia Yang told her the address, and asked Xia Lan which family in the village below the mountain she married to, and where she lived in the village. "I'll come over later and see you."

"Okay." Xia Lan said happily: "Brother, you can't do needlework, if there is any work at home, tell me, I will do it for you."

"No need." Xia Yang refused, "We all buy ready-made clothes to wear, you don't have to endure that tiredness."

Xia Lan chattered all the way, time passed quickly, and the distance to the town was getting closer and closer.

Xia Yang turned his head and looked at Xia Lan, thinking that this child might be bored. Usually no one talked, but now she suddenly burst out, and she almost never stopped talking all the way.

"Where are you going to sell handkerchiefs? I'll take you there." Xia Yang said.

"No, brother." Xia Lan said, "We still need to go shopping. Just find a place to drop us off."

"Forget it." Xia Yang looked at Xia Lan's reluctant eyes, paused and said, "I'll take you there. You can find a time to go shopping with me later."

He took back his thoughts of giving her some money to get rid of her. After all, he owed her a favor, so he should return the favor to this little girl.

"You guys go." Zheng, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "I'm going to sell handkerchiefs and buy things. It's rare for you and your sister to see each other, so you can talk more together."

"Thank you." Xia Yang looked at Zheng, who was a loyal and honest person, and thanked her sincerely, "I'll take my sister for a walk. You can wait for us at the entrance of the town later, and I'll take you back."

Xia Yang insisted on sending Zheng to the door of Xiuzhuang, letting her get off the car and go in. After setting a time for them to meet, he took Xia Lan directly to the clothing store.

No matter how Xia Lan refused, he bought her two sets of clothes, two cotton robes for outer wear, and also bought a set for his brother-in-law whom he had never met.

Finally, he thought about it again and bought a few pieces of cloth, telling Xia Lan: "Give one piece to your mother-in-law, one piece to your sister-in-law, and keep the remaining two pieces for yourself."

He knew that the things he bought might arouse the envy of others, and gave some away in the hope that Xia Lan could make friends with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Xia Yang also went to buy some festival gifts, a jar of wine, two catties of brown sugar, two catties of maltose for children, and a few packets of snacks for her to take back.

When passing by a jewelry store, Xia Yang forced Xia Lan to go in again, and bought a set of silver hairpins, silver bracelets and silver rings, as well as hair flowers and hairbands that little girls like to wear. He

bought everything for Xia Lan.

He bought the dowry that the Xia family didn't give, so that Xia Lan would not have a knot in her heart about it in the future, feeling inferior to others, and she would not have to be ridiculed by anyone in her husband's family.

"Brother, brother." Xia Lan was about to be pulled by Xia Yang, and she hugged his arm and said with horror: "Where did you get all this money? Brother-in-law will definitely divorce you when he goes back."

Xia Yang's shopping spree scared Xia Lan. Seeing more than ten taels of silver spent, she almost cried, fearing that Xia Yang would be divorced when he went back.

How could someone spend so much money, especially so much money for his sister from his natal family? Xia Lan trembled all over and was very scared.

"I earned the money myself." Seeing her scared look, Xia Yang sighed in his heart: "Your brother-in-law won't mind, really, if you don't believe me, come and see during the New Year."

He was really angry and amused. How could Xia Lan say that she was divorced? She was so scared that her face turned pale, and Xia Yang was a little touched.

"I don't want it anymore, enough, enough." Xia Lan kept shaking her head. No matter what Xia Yang said, she refused to buy any more. She begged, "These are already much more than other people's dowry. Don't buy any more."

"Okay, okay, that's all." Xia Yang had no choice but to agree.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a group of people gathered in the distance. Xia Yang looked over there and saw a man carrying a piece of meat squeezed out of the crowd.

"Big brother, you are buying beef. How much is it per pound?" Xia Yang saw that it was beef with sharp eyes. He had been looking for a long time but didn't see the butcher coming to sell meat.

"Two, ten, two cents." The man who bought the meat looked distressed. The best part of the pork was only ten or eight cents. "I just want to eat something new. I haven't eaten it for two or three years. I don't care if it's expensive this time." "

Hey!" Xia Yang laughed, "I'm lucky to be able to buy it. Don't worry about the money."

The cows here are not allowed to be killed casually. Xia Yang likes this one. He has been craving it for half a year. He didn't expect to meet it in the last market of the year.

He was glad that he came here hoping to find some rare items on sale, thinking of buying some to take back. This time he was lucky enough to meet someone selling beef.

"Watch the cart, I'm going to buy some beef." Xia Yang drove the cart aside and smiled at Xia Lan: "You should take some back too, eat more meat and don't be so skinny."

Xia Lan pulled his hand and stopped in mid-air, looking at Xia Yang quickly squeezing into the crowd with a sad face. She didn't know what to say to Xia Yang. She

kept saying in her heart, hoping that Buddha would bless her third brother and not let her brother-in-law blame her. If he was really angry and wanted to divorce Xia Yang, she would definitely return the things.

But when she saw the several large pieces of beef that Xia Yang bought, her eyes finally changed again. Looking at the meat on the cart, there were almost dozens of kilograms.

But Xia Yang was still moving it onto the cart, including cow bones, cow offal, cow hooves and cow tails, and then dozens of kilograms of meat were put on the cart.

"Alas!" Xia Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a look of relief: "Fortunately, we came in time, and there is still a lot of beef that has not been sold."

He began to only focus on grabbing beef for himself, choosing a good place to buy it, and then moving all the offal, bones, and hooves that no one wanted to his cart.

When I saw Xia Lan, I thought of giving some to other people, like Liu's father, Ershu, Zhang Liu, Wang Zhao, and my sister.

After all, this thing is not easy to buy, and I must eat more when I can find it, so as not to always be greedy and lose my appetite when I see pork.

"Take this back." Xia Yang handed a piece of meat to Xia Lan, and he also reminded: "Don't ask your in-laws to give it away. It's not easy to buy."

"Brother, why did you buy so much meat?" Xia Lan was numb at this time, and asked faintly: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver again?"

"More than twenty taels, not much." Xia Yang didn't pay attention to her question, but said: "Beef is better than pork. When you eat it, you will know that the money is worth it."

"But I would rather buy pork." Xia Lan looked at the beef with not much fat, and said with disgust: "It can't even produce a little oil, how good can it be."

"Huh?" Xia Yang almost laughed out loud. It occurred to him that Xia Lan could not even eat pork a few times, so how could she know how delicious beef was. "Okay, you want to eat pork, right?"

He turned and left. After a while, he brought back a large piece of pork and handed it to Xia Lan, saying: "Twenty catties, go back and eat."

The piece of beef Xia Yang gave was also more than ten catties. He wanted Xia Lan to eat more, and spending a little more money was nothing.

After all, he saw that Xia Lan had a good character, and her shadow was deep in his memory. Xia Yang had no reluctance to keep his feelings for her.

Xia Lan didn't want to talk anymore. Xia Yang's actions confused her. This brother had changed too much. Except for his face, everything else was unfamiliar to her.

The only thing that comforted Xia Lan was that her third brother was still as good to her as before, and didn't dislike her because of his hatred for her family.

When Xia Yang drove back to the town to meet up with Zheng, he told Xia Lan, "Next year, your brother-in-law and I may have to leave Liujia Village. If you can't find me for something, come to Fu Ke to find the shopkeeper and ask him to send me a message." "

Where are you going?" Xia Lan was stunned. She didn't expect to be separated just after meeting. "Will you come back in the future?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Yang didn't tell her the truth, for fear that she would accidentally reveal his address. "If you have something, ask someone to find me. I will find a way to help."

He took out silver from his arms, two ingots of five taels of silver, and stuffed them into Xia Lan's arms. "Take it, keep it for the future."

Xia Lan stared blankly at her arms. She felt very uncomfortable. She felt that it would be difficult to see Xia Yang again in the future. She asked frustratedly, "Third brother, we won't meet in the future, right?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Yang didn't say it firmly, but just said, "If you come back, I will go to see you."

"Okay." Xia Yang touched her head and comforted her: "It's not that you can't find me, what are you afraid of? Even if I don't have time, you can still come to see me."

He comforted Xia Lan for a while, and saw that her mood improved, and he was relieved. If possible, Xia Yang would continue to help her.

"Bring your husband here during the New Year." Xia Yang said: "You also come to see your brother-in-law. We won't leave for a short time. I'll tell you when we leave." "

Yeah." Xia Lan nodded and forced herself to cheer up, "Brother, you must come back."

She had a good relationship with her third brother and younger brother in the Xia family. Xia Lan thought that after she got married, she could have more contact with Xia Yang.

Now suddenly knowing that Xia Yang was leaving here, she felt empty in her heart, feeling that she had lost another relative, and was a little confused for a while.

"Okay, your sister-in-law is here." Xia Yang saw Zheng waiting at the entrance of the town and reminded Xia Lan to cheer up.

He didn't think he was soft-hearted, but the grace of saving his life could not be offset by some silver, as long as Xia Lan didn't touch his bottom line in the future.

Even if he treated her as his own sister, Xia Yang would wait and see before making a decision, so he invited Xia Lan. He

also wanted to let Liu Jingwen see the black sesame stuffed rice dumpling. Xia Yang had long seen that he was scheming, but he still put on a pure face all day long.

Thinking of this, Xia Yang smiled: If Liu Jingwen said that Xia Lan was not good enough, he would give her more money to send her off. If she said that she was good enough, he would take care of her more in the future.

Chapter 72

"Brother."

Xia Yang just got off the ox cart when he met Boss Liu who opened the gate and walked out. "I'll give you some beef."

He took out the beef he bought from the cart and said with a smile, "I just happened to meet a beef seller at the market, so I bought some."

"Oh!" Boss Liu took it, looked at the nearly ten pounds of beef in his hand and said, "What luck! I don't come across this once in several years."

"That's right." Xia Yang said, "Cows are not allowed to be slaughtered at will, so it's not easy to buy one. Most of them are dead of old age or illness, not as fresh and delicious as this one that fell to death."

Boss Liu nodded, opened the door and let Xia Yang in, "Come in and sit for a while? I just want to find you."

"What's the matter?" Xia Yang didn't expect Boss Liu to have something to do, and asked, "Brother, just tell me if you have something to do. It's almost noon and I have to cook, so I won't go in."

He sent Xia Lan back to the village, and then went to Wang Zhao's house to leave the beef for him and Zhang Liu. This back and forth took a lot of time.

"You guys should come back for the New Year." Boss Liu scratched his head, still a little embarrassed to Xia Yang, "It will be more fun if we all come together."

"No." Xia Yang smiled, "This is the first time we build a new house, we can't let the house be deserted, so we won't come." "

Thank you, big brother." Xia Yang thought about it and said, "Let's come over on the first day of the New Year to pay New Year's greetings and have a lively dinner together."

"Okay." Boss Liu patted his head, forgetting that they lived in a new house this year, "Then come over on the first day of the New Year and have dinner at home."

"Okay." Xia Yang got on the ox cart and waved to him, "Let's go."

He didn't expect to invite them to dinner. It seemed that it was the idea of ​​Boss Liu and his two brothers. After all, Father Liu had already said that it was up to Liu Jingwen whether to come or not.

But Xia Yang still felt that he should give face to Father Liu. After all, the Liu brothers had always been very good to them, and sometimes they came to visit them despite the pressure from Mother Liu.

"I'm back." Xia Yang returned home and saw Liu Jingwen sitting alone in the house. "I bought some beef and will cook it for you later."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen smiled faintly and asked, "Why did you take so long? Is Zhao'er okay?"

"Nothing." Xia Yang sat down and said, "Brother Zhang is also at his house."

He told Liu about Zhang Liu's affairs and finally told Liu Jingwen, "Brother Zhao doesn't want to get married now. Consider this matter in a few years."

"I also forgot his age." Xia Yang said, "I always hear others talking about getting married. I forgot that he is only ten or seventeen. It's not too late to wait a few years."

When he said this, he was actually a little guilty. This era is different from the modern era. Wang Zhao's age is just right now, but he doesn't want to, so Xia Yang naturally supports him.

"Let him be." Liu Jingwen did not comment, "He lives his own life. It's okay as long as he feels comfortable."

"I think so too." Xia Yang said, "After all, I don't know if Brother Wang can do it here. Maybe there is no such fate."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen was not in high spirits and just agreed casually.

"Bored, right?" Xia Yang asked. "When the weather gets warmer, I'll take you with me when I go out."

Xia Yang held Liu Jingwen's hand to comfort him, thinking that he stayed alone in the house every day. It would be fine if he was at home, so he could talk to him. When

he was not at home, Liu Jingwen would be alone in the big house, and it was so boring that Xia Yang felt a little distressed.

He planned to put the beef aside for a while, and wait until Liu Jingwen took a nap to clean it up, and now he would spend more time talking to him.

"I just went to deliver beef to my eldest brother." Xia Yang said, "He just came out to find us and invited us to go back and celebrate the New Year together."

"No." Liu Jingwen shook his head, "When you go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, just have a meal with Dad."

"Yeah, that's what I said." Xia Yang put his arm around his shoulders and moved closer, "Guess who I met today?"

"Who?" Liu Jingwen leaned his head on his shoulder. Xia Yang liked to be a big man, so he fulfilled his wish, "Someone I haven't seen for a long time."

"Guess again." Xia Yang raised his eyebrows and asked unwillingly, "There will be a prize if you guess right."

"No prize if you guess wrong?" Liu Jingwen chuckled. He understood Xia Yang's little thoughts, "I'll give you a reward now."

"Baji." He raised his head and kissed Xia Yang on the cheek, and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't give me the reward."

"Tsk." Xia Yang was helpless. Liu Jingwen was too smart. He had been hiding it from him for a long time. Now that he knew, he couldn't beat him, "Wasn't I kissed you in vain?"

"Then kiss him back?" Liu Jingwen pinched Xia Yang's chin provocatively, and said with a smile: "I'd love to."

"Forget it." Xia Yang said so, but when Liu Jingwen let go, he kissed him on the forehead, "This is a reward for you being obedient at home."

"Hehe." Liu Jingwen smiled proudly. He could find many excuses to kiss him every day, and every time Xia Yang kissed him several times less than him.

"Meet the Xia family?" Liu Jingwen did not continue to tease Xia Yang, and said: "I really can't think of anyone who can make you ask this question, except your mother's family."

Xia Yang smiled and shook his head. He knew that he could not fool Liu Jingwen. He looked down at his innocent face, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling gently, and no one could see through his arrogance and indifference in his bones.

"It's my sister." Xia Yang automatically filtered out the words about her family and said, "She married into the village at the foot of the mountain, and her in-laws treat her pretty well now."

He told Liu Jingwen about meeting Xia Lan and buying things for her, "The Xia family didn't give her a dowry, so I bought some for her. I can't let her in-laws and the people in the village at the foot of the mountain look down on her and make her so humble that she can't raise her head."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen agreed, "It's okay to give some. If you are willing, you can continue to have contact with her. She can't get in the way of anything."

"I'm afraid that when she contacts the Xia family, she will tell them about me." Xia Yang said, "If they knew that I'm living a good life now and have money, they might come to my house one day."

He was annoyed by this matter. He was also afraid that Xia Lan would become greedy in the future, so he had to be on guard. Xia Yang didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters.

"It's okay to come over." Liu Jingwen sat up straight and patted Xia Yang's hand in a soothing way. "You are my husband. I have the final say on household affairs. Just let me handle them."

"I don't want to see her at all." Xia Yang said, "It will be fine when we move out. If Xia Lan is a good person, I will take care of her."

He must repay the favor he received, but it does not mean that Xia Yang must accept the Xia family. At most, he can break off this relationship and give Xia Lan more money.

"I listen to you." Liu Jingwen naturally understood Xia Yang's meaning and said, "We are still in the village now. It's okay to have contact with your sister for a while. We will see what happens in the future."

...

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was New Year's Eve.

Xia Yang got up early in the morning, cleaned up the house inside and outside, made breakfast and went into the house to see Liu Jingwen.

"Awake." Xia Yang saw Liu Jingwen putting on clothes, which were the moon-white cotton robes he had just bought for him.

With delicate eyebrows and fair cheeks, Liu Jingwen looked more gentle and handsome under the moonlight, like a young and beautiful boy.

Xia Yang's skin color was darker, a typical wheat color. After his special training, his whole body was full of muscles. With his handsome features, he looked like a real man.

If Liu Jingwen is a boy and Xia Yang is a man, no one will see through it. However, Liu Jingwen has an advantage, which is that he is half a head taller than Xia Yang.

Even if Xia Yang wants to suppress him, he can't succeed. He can only secretly say it's a pity: although he is the one below, at least he should save some face on the surface!

"Have you changed your clothes?" Liu Jingwen asked: "You won't wear your old clothes again?"

Xia Yang is always unkempt. As long as it is clean and tidy, he doesn't care whether it is new or not, as long as he is comfortable in it.

"Change now." Xia Yang secretly bought himself a navy blue dress. This is the dress for men. He doesn't like the light-colored clothes picked by those boys.

After he changed his clothes, he took them out to wash. No dirt can be left during the New Year, even if the clothes are only worn for one morning.

In terms of customs, Xia Yang is particularly observant. Perhaps due to his modern habits, he is more particular about the New Year than Liu Jingwen, an ancient man.

"It's time to eat." Xia Yang saw Liu Jingwen finished washing up and brought the beef bone soup he had cooked. "Try my beef bone soup."

Because there was no dried tofu here, Xia Yang put in large tofu and vermicelli, which was not much different from the modern flower-cut meat soup. He was quite satisfied with it.

Pieces of white tofu floated in the soup, topped with chopped green onions and chopped coriander. This was Xia Yang's configuration according to his own preferences. The white and green colors looked appetizing.

"It tastes good." Liu Jingwen took a sip of the soup first, and the mellow aroma of the beef bone soup bloomed between his lips and teeth. "This is the first time I've had beef bone soup. It tastes better than meat soup."

"There are vegetables in it." Xia Yang said: "I put in tofu, vermicelli, and some beef."

He wanted to put in some beef offal, but was afraid that Liu Jingwen would not be used to it, so Xia Yang had to give up. After all, his own taste was quite different from others.

Xia Yang liked to eat offal soup. Generally, he used the offal he bought back to make soup, but Liu Jingwen was different. Xia Yang was afraid that he would not be used to the taste.

"Is there anything else to do at home?" Liu Jingwen asked halfway through his meal: "Is there anything I can help with?"

He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied that he was idle every day while Xia Yang was busy all the time. Liu Jingwen wanted to help but was afraid of causing trouble for him.

"Yes." Xia Yang smiled.

He saw Liu Jingwen's frowning brows and knew what Liu Jingwen was thinking, "I will post the couplets in a while, you help me hold the ladder and the steps."

"We will post them after dinner, and we must rush to the front of others." Xia Yang said: "This is called striving for the first place in everything, and happiness, wealth and longevity will come first."

"This is the first time I've heard of it." Liu Jingwen said: "But good meanings must be followed."

"Yeah." Xia Yang smiled and coaxed Liu Jingwen to be happy, "We still have to cook early. I have already cleaned the house. I will make lunch after posting the couplets. You have to help me a little, and you must be faster than others."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen nodded and smiled.

"I'll leave the peeling of garlic and onions to you." Xia Yang continued to arrange things. He thought for a moment and said, "Help me wash the vegetables."

He racked his brains to arrange some things for Liu Jingwen. Xia Yang was afraid that he wanted to go into the kitchen, where the smell was not good and the fumes were too strong. Liu

Jingwen agreed to all the things he arranged. He knew that he couldn't help Xia Yang much, so he didn't force him and just wanted to do something within his ability.

After they finished breakfast, Xia Yang quickly cleaned up the dishes and started to make paste to paste the couplets, waiting for him to move the ladder and the basket out.

Seeing that Liu Jingwen was eager to try and wanted to hold the ladder for him, Xia Yang smiled gently, went over and took Liu Jingwen's hand and put it on the ladder, "Hold on, don't fall."

"I'm not that fragile." Liu Jingwen shook his head helplessly, "I'm quite strong."

"Then I'm relieved." After Xia Yang finished speaking, he whispered in his ear, "I don't feel at ease if others hold me, but I'm willing to do anything for you."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen pursed his lips and said nothing, but the smile on his face clearly showed that he was very happy.

Xia Yang went up and down the ladder several times, and pasted the couplets neatly. He turned around and saw Liu Jingwen still holding the ladder. He went over to hold his hand and said, "It's done. Go into the house to warm up."

"At this time." Liu Jingwen said seriously, "The villagers must not have pasted it yet. We are the first family. We will be happy and healthy in the future."

"Definitely." Xia Yang nodded, and looked at Liu Jingwen seriously and said, "As long as we are with you, no matter when, we will be happy."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and kissed Liu Jingwen on the face. Xia Yang was sincerely grateful to Liu Jingwen for giving him so much in this era.

Even in modern times, he dared not imagine whether he would meet such a person who could treat him sincerely and unconditionally believe in and support him.

Liu Jingwen moved his fingers, then stopped, not in a hurry, "We will, Yang Ge'er works so hard, we will be happy forever."

"Yeah." Xia Yang naturally did not allow anyone to destroy his and Liu Jingwen's current life, "I will definitely work harder."

After a busy morning, Xia Yang cooked a large table of dishes. Even if the two of them couldn't finish them, he cooked more than ten dishes, implementing the phrase "rich and more than enough" to the end. It was

almost noon, and the families in the village had just started to get busy at this time. They would not have dinner until the afternoon. Xia Yang never followed the principle of two meals in the village.

He took out a string of firecrackers, found a long bamboo pole, tied the firecrackers on it, and handed it to Liu Jingwen, "You hold the bamboo pole, I'll go light the firecrackers."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen smiled.

He raised the bamboo pole high and waited for Xia Yang to light it. When he heard the sound of the firecrackers, a happy smile appeared on his face. This kind of life would not be exchanged even if he was given a fortune.

"Li Pa La." A burst of firecrackers sounded, deafening, accompanied by puffs of white smoke.

"Does it sound?" Xia Yang lit the firecrackers, ran to Liu Jingwen, and hugged him from behind. He stretched out his hand and passed it under Liu Jingwen's armpit, holding the bamboo pole with him.

"It sounds good." Liu Jingwen leaned back and leaned on Xia Yang's arms. He tilted his head slightly and looked behind him, his eyes sparkling. "It sounds good."

"Yeah." Xia Yang looked at his happy smile and his red lips, and slowly covered his lips with his, tasting the kiss he had longed for.

Liu Jingwen's body stiffened, and he was kissed by his husband. In just a moment, he threw away the bamboo pole, turned around and hugged Xia Yang's neck to deepen the kiss.

Even if he cared about Xia Yang, Liu Jingwen was still a man. He was never a weak person, but his appearance and the posture he showed in the past made people misunderstand.

"Hmm." Xia Yang was stunned for a moment in the face of the aggressive kiss. He didn't expect Liu Jingwen to be so fierce that he bit his lips and hurt them.

The sound of firecrackers gradually faded away, and only the smell of firecrackers lingered in his nose. He also became competitive and wanted to turn defeat into victory and take the initiative.

He just raised his hand, wanting to hug Liu Jingwen and hold his head to make him weak, but his hand was intercepted halfway and was held firmly by Liu Jingwen and placed on his waist.

His other hand tightly held the back of Xia Yang's head, wanting to be the one who always took the initiative. At this time, Xia Yang was really dumbfounded, and his breathing was rapid due to the kisses.

Even when he tried to break free several times and take his hand away from Liu Jingwen's waist, Liu Jingwen held it tightly and refused to pull it out. His head was also held tightly and he could only passively endure Liu Jingwen's fierce kiss.

He tried to move his feet to get some distance, but as soon as he moved his legs and before he could lift them up, Liu Jingwen's legs were entangled, leaving him no chance of success.

"Yeah." Xia Yang felt that he was short of breath and felt a little dizzy, and he uttered a soft sound.

Because of this kiss, he had a charming feeling in his heart, and his heart beat faster and his whole body was hot. The idea of ​​getting closer gradually faded, and his reason slowly recovered

. Xia Yang moved his remaining hand, which was held by Liu Jingwen behind his head and pressed under his armpit, so he couldn't raise it to do anything. He could only push Liu Jingwen's chest hard to let him let go quickly.

"Huh." Liu Jingwen felt Xia Yang's discomfort and finally let go of his grip. He also took a deep breath.

Just a moment ago, he wanted to go further, but his reason was still there. He knew that this was outside, and the place and time were not suitable.

He could only suppress his excitement, control his desire, turn his impulse and passion into fierce kisses, and comfort his urgent mood.

"Are you okay?" Liu Jingwen gently stroked Xia Yang's chest and said apologetically: "I couldn't control it for a while, mainly because I have no experience."

Xia Yang: "..."

Xia Yang was depressed and cursed in his heart: Bullshit! Like a wolf, is it going to eat people?

He didn't ignore that Liu Jingwen was sincere in his words, but his face was proud, and even his smile was a little brighter.

"If you don't eat, the food will get cold." Xia Yang didn't expose it. After all, he took the initiative to deliver it to the door, and he couldn't blame this person who always wanted to consummate his marriage with him.

It is estimated that Liu Jingwen was too pent up. Once he got a little sweetness, he immediately turned into a wolf, wishing to swallow him into his stomach to satisfy his craving.

"Let's eat." Liu Jingwen was very proud. Seeing that Xia Yang did not doubt why he had so much strength, he hurriedly walked into the house, "We have to get ahead of other people."

"Slow down." Xia Yang reached out to support him, and the doubts in his eyes disappeared immediately. He asked: "Are you hungry after being busy all morning?"

He felt a little regretful. He was busy cooking and forgot to bring some snacks to Liu Jingwen. Instead, he forgot the things that made him depressed. "Let's eat soon."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen nodded. He was indeed hungry, but not hungry in the stomach, but another kind of hunger. He said meaningfully: "I want to eat until tonight and I must eat enough."

"Okay." Xia Yang was inexplicably amused. How did Liu Jingwen turn into a foodie? Was it this kiss that aroused his greed?

He smiled with a bit of pampering: "Okay, you can eat this meal until tonight, and I will cook dumplings for you in the middle of the night."

The author has something to say:

Chapter 73

"Eat fish."

Xia Yang handed the belly of the fish to Liu Jingwen, and the few bones on it were picked out by him. "No wonder you are smart and like to eat fish so much."

Liu Jingwen paused with his chopsticks, turned his head to look at Xia Yang sitting next to him, and said faintly: "Actually, I didn't like it so much before."

"Dad always buys me meat to supplement my body, which causes disharmony in the family." Liu Jingwen said: "Dad is good at catching fish, so I said I like to eat fish and I don't have to spend money to buy it."

"Hey!" Xia Yang understood as soon as he heard it. It was because of Liu's mother. "I thought you really like to eat fish! So this is the case."

He remembered that when he had just moved out of the Liu family, he bought meat by himself, and Liu Jingwen seldom ate it. He said he liked to eat fish, probably because he was afraid of spending money and wanted to eat more himself.

"Eat meat." Xia Yang picked up a few pieces of braised pork, then picked up some spare ribs and put them in Liu Jingwen's bowl. "You should have told me earlier that we are not short of money now."

He wanted to say that it doesn't matter if we don't have money, I can go hunting in the mountains and make sure you have meat for every meal. However, Xia Yang didn't say it when the words came to his lips.

"Now I really like eating fish." Liu Jingwen said: "The fish cooked by Yangge'er is delicious, without any fishy smell and with moderate saltiness. I like it very much."

Xia Yang raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Jingwen and asked: "What's wrong? Is the fish in your family not delicious?"

"Salty and fishy." Liu Jingwen lightly spit out two words, with a somewhat aggrieved expression on his face, "I don't know why, it's never delicious, unlike other families."

"Tsk." Xia Yang sneered, his eyes turned cold, and said: "It must be that old witch who played a trick on you. She is so vicious and deserves to be divorced and sent home."

"Forget it." Liu Jingwen also sighed and resolutely moved out of the Liu family, mostly for Xia Yang, and a small part because he was tired of Liu's mother's private little actions, "Everything is for Dad's face, and I won't bother with her."

"It's in the past." Xia Yang patted Liu Jingwen on the shoulder, "Forget it, think about the present and our future."

With Liu's father protecting and pampering him so much, Liu Jingwen still suffered so much grievance. If there was no Liu's father, I wonder what would happen to Liu Jingwen?

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a happy smile, "To be where I am today, it's all thanks to Brother Yang."

"I will not let you down in this life." Liu Jingwen looked relaxed, but his tone was extremely solemn, "Brother Yang, you are my eyes, the light of this life."

"Pfft." Xia Yang laughed out loud. Liu Jingwen was still trying to be sentimental. He couldn't say anything literary, so he teased, "Just this life? That's too stingy."

"Hehe." Liu Jingwen shook his head and said nothing. He took a bite of the food and thought about it, "If I am so unlucky in every life, I would rather never meet you."

He pointed at his eyes, as if joking, "Brother Yang is busy every day, and I enjoy my leisure time. We support each other, and you don't dislike it, but I feel uneasy here."

Liu Jingwen pointed to his heart and said, "This selfish life is enough to reminisce for the rest of my life. If I have another life, I will set you free. I don't want you to feel pain here anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Xia Yang saw Liu Jingwen's fleeting heartache, and felt a little uncomfortable. He grabbed his hand and said, "Don't say these things anymore, and don't think like this anymore."

"If I'm not willing, no one can keep me." Xia Yang said, "I am sincere and willing to stay here, and I am willing to spend my life with you."

Xia Yang didn't notice Liu Jingwen's thoughts at first, but how could he not see it after a long time, when he was repeatedly tormented in his heart.

Xia Yang had already made up his mind to stay with Liu Jingwen.

He knew that he would never meet someone as good to him as Liu Jingwen, regardless of the various rules and etiquette here, and resolutely not give himself any constraints.

Liu Jingwen not only fell in love with him at first sight, but also made his heart fall unconsciously, and looked forward to his smile and gentle words every day.

He also put down his despised identity and stubbornness, regardless of his dignity as a person, and was willing to be under him, and at some point there was someone who wanted to have a child for him.

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen shook Xia Yang's hand back and put away his sentimentality. "I'll remember it. I won't say it or think about it again in the future."

"Eat." Xia Yang continued to pick up food for him. "You're not hungry, eat more."

He carefully took care of Liu Jingwen's meal. This has become Xia Yang's habit. He would not stop until he saw Liu Jingwen eating to his satisfaction.

"Yes!" Liu Jingwen sighed with satisfaction: "I will eat a lot today, and fulfill my wish."

"I will let you eat a lot every day, don't worry." Xia Yang didn't realize what Liu Jingwen meant, and smiled: "As long as you say you are hungry, I will feed you immediately and make sure you are satisfied."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen smiled, looking at Xia Yang's expression as gentle as water, "I'll wait."

"No need to wait." Xia Yang said.

He picked up the wine that he had warmed up on the side and poured a glass for himself and Liu Jingwen. "Today is the New Year, and it's also the first year we've spent together. Let's have a drink to celebrate."

Xia Yang handed a glass of wine to Liu Jingwen, and picked up another glass himself, looking at the person he liked with gentle eyes, "Let's have a drink."

He still remembered that he had never had a cup of wine with Liu Jingwen, and the wedding was also messed up by the Xia family's tricks, but Xia Yang did not regret it.

Nothing is more important than Liu Jingwen!

"We haven't had a cup of wine yet." Liu Jingwen has always remembered this. He owes Xia Yang too much, and today he takes this opportunity to make up for it.

"Okay." Xia Yang smiled brightly, for the tacit understanding between himself and Liu Jingwen, "Let's have a cup of wine."

He and Liu Jingwen gently clinked glasses, holding Liu Jingwen's wrist with one hand and holding the wine glass with the other hand, and the two people's arms were entangled.

"Happy New Year." Xia Yang said before drinking.

"Happiness for a hundred years." Liu Jingwen smiled and raised his head to drink the glass of wine.

At this time, the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. Xia Yang's eyes were obscure, and he looked at Liu Jingwen with burning eyes, and his heart was a little restless.

"Little scholar." His voice was low, hiding his lingering affection, "We will be happy for the rest of our lives."

"Yes." Although Liu Jingwen's voice was light, it made people feel at ease. He said with assurance: "We will."

The two seemed to be a little confused and infatuated with the wine. As they drank, they didn't know who would hug whom first, and who would offer lips first.

"Brother Yang, I'm hungry." Liu Jingwen murmured: "I still want to eat, let me eat."

As he spoke, one hand had already stroked and touched Xia Yang's waist, and was moving down little by little, the hint was obvious and firm.

Xia Yang looked at Liu Jingwen's blushing cheeks, as beautiful as peach blossoms and morning glow, and his heart became more and more uncontrollable. His blood was boiling and he clamored to get closer to him.

"Well, I'll fill you up." Xia Yang had given up resisting and let go of Liu Jingwen's hand, "Whatever you wish."

His emotions were a little out of control now, and he no longer considered other times. He involuntarily moved closer to Liu Jingwen and vented his emotions with him.

...

After an afternoon of Liu Jingwen's efforts, Xia Yang finally managed to fall asleep. When he woke up again, it was already dark.

"What time is it?" Xia Yang's throat was uncomfortable, and his voice was dry and hoarse.

Looking at Liu Jingwen sitting next to him, he rolled his eyes but it didn't help. Liu Jingwen couldn't see him at all, and Xia Yang was very depressed.

"Drink some water first." Liu Jingwen picked up the water he had prepared earlier, handed it to Xia Yang, and said, "It's the beginning of the twelfth hour, no rush."

"Yeah." Xia Yang drank a glass of water, and his throat felt much better. "I'll lie down for a while and then get up."

He was tormented by Liu Jingwen for almost an afternoon, and now his body was a little sore. If it weren't for Xia Yang's good physical fitness, he thought he might not be able to wake up so quickly.

Liu Jingwen said that he would do it again, but Xia Yang remembered clearly that it was more than three times, but in the end he couldn't help it and fell asleep powerlessly.

As for when Liu Jingwen got off him, Xia Yang had no impression at all, but he knew that Liu Jingwen would not stop until he was full.

"Are you still uncomfortable?" Liu Jingwen massaged Xia Yang's waist and asked softly: "Is this okay?"

Xia Yang wanted to stab him, but when he touched Liu Jingwen's exquisite cheeks and beautiful eyes, he suppressed the words on his lips.

"It's okay." Xia Yang said.

Who can he blame? Or blame himself for not having enough physical strength.

"Fortunately, I prepared everything in the morning." Xia Yang sighed: I feel that I have foresight.

He didn't want to be with Liu Jingwen today, he just wanted to finish all the things and stay with Liu Jingwen quietly,

waiting to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and have a warm and beautiful New Year's Eve.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel resentful and said angrily: "Didn't we agree on tomorrow? After we pay New Year's greetings to your father, we will have nothing to worry about."

"Today is the 30th, and tomorrow is the 1st." Liu Jingwen smiled and said: "We can't fall behind in these two days. We have to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and everything must be followed."

"Pfft." Xia Yang couldn't help laughing after hearing his explanation, "Hahaha, you're just talking nonsense! You are always right." "Whatever

Yang Ge'er says, it is." Liu Jingwen chuckled and said with a doting face: "I will listen to you."

"Really?" Xia Yang raised his eyebrows. He still wanted to teach Liu Jingwen a lesson in his heart, and set a trap for him: "You really listen to me in everything?"

"As long as I can control it, I will listen to you." Liu Jingwen talked nonsense seriously, "Have I ever lied to Yang Ge'er?"

"Forget it." Xia Yang was depressed again. Liu Jingwen's words were equivalent to saying nothing, and he indirectly put himself in a difficult position, "I can't argue with you."

Liu Jingwen smiled without saying a word, knowing that he had missed the day, and didn't blame Xia Yang for being full of resentment and letting him vent his dissatisfaction.

"Huh?" Xia Yang moved his body and said in surprise: "It's really good to sleep for a while. I don't feel so sore anymore."

He tried to move his body again. Although it was still a little uncomfortable and swollen, it was not as uncomfortable as others described.

"Could it be?" Xia Yang wondered in his heart: Is this the characteristic of the young man? The special characteristics of the body?

Xia Yang nodded unconsciously: It should be! Otherwise, why would the young man, who is a man, have to get married and have children? It is probably because he is born to have sex, so it's no wonder that he doesn't feel too uncomfortable. It's all due to his physical constitution.

"I made some porridge. You can drink some." Seeing Xia Yang moving back and forth, Liu Jingwen asked, "I'll bring it to you. Can you eat on the kang?"

"No, get up." Xia Yang said, grabbing Liu Jingwen's hand and carefully checking it in the dim candlelight, "Who asked you to make porridge? Didn't I tell you not to do anything and wait for me to get up?"

"It's not burned." Liu Jingwen listened to his questioning with a smile on his face, "I used the small stove you put down to make porridge. It won't burn without lighting a fire."

"Nonsense." Xia Yang got up dissatisfied and said while putting on his clothes, "It's easy to get burned. Don't move around in the future. Call me when you're hungry."

He put on his clothes and went downstairs, looking at the kang table where the food was placed. It was pushed to a corner by Liu Jingwen. It had been simply cleaned up and looked tidy.

"Alas!" Xia Yang sighed helplessly.

He knew that Liu Jingwen wanted to help him share the burden, but he was not afraid of hard work but was afraid that he would get hurt. "Be careful in the future. You know if you get yourself hurt, I will feel bad."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen replied: "I know, I must protect myself, Yang brother, don't be angry."

"No." How could Xia Yang be angry? He pulled Liu Jingwen and asked him to sit aside, "Wait, I will clean up a little, and we will have some porridge together." There was

still more than an hour before midnight, Xia Yang didn't want to miss the dumplings, this New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten, he cleaned up quickly. After a while, he

served two bowls of porridge and invited Liu Jingwen to eat together, "I will move the panel to the main room in a while, and we will sit there to make dumplings."

"Okay, I will accompany you." Liu Jingwen said.

The two people had close contact only today, and now they are a little inseparable, wishing to be together all the time.

As they were together, the first month of the year was over. The watermelons in Xia Yang's greenhouse had already set, and they had to take good care of them until they were ripe.

At this time, he remembered that he should go and see the two farms he bought. He should make plans in advance and know what to plant.

...

"Brother Zhang, I want to go and see the two farms I bought." Xia Yang found Zhang Liu and wanted to ask him when he had time. "When is it convenient for you? Or tell me the place and I can go by myself."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Liu said, "It will take more than two months before planting. Why go so early?"

"I want to see what is planted in the farms." Xia Yang said, "You know, I want to plant fruit trees, but fruit seedlings are hard to find, and some have to be planted in autumn."

"The farms all grow grain." Zhang Liu said, "If you want to go, I have time anytime. Don't you still have to build a house? We can just see where it is then."

"Okay, tomorrow then." Xia Yang said, "Is there any news about the fruit tree seedlings that Brother Zhang asked about?"

Xia Yang felt a little regretful. His plan was good, but this place is different from modern times. There is no place to buy fruit tree seedlings.

There is no large orchard or place to cultivate seedlings here. All the rich families plant them for viewing and pick the fruits for themselves.

"There is news." Zhang Liu said: "If you go to a wealthy family to buy, although they have their own orchards, they may not sell, and even if they do, the quantity will not be large."

"My friend wrote to you and said that he will try his best to help you." Zhang Liu said this, smiled and said: "But the quantity may not be much for the time being, and he will try to send more."

"Well, thank you, Brother Zhang." Xia Yang said.

He knew that it was impossible to plant all the fruit tree seedlings at once, and he planned to build a large orchard in two or three years.

There would be no income in a short time. Xia Yang had thought about this a long time ago. Now he mainly relies on watermelons and strawberries to make money.

Xia Yang plans to plant these two and grapes. If there are other fruit seeds, he will slowly try to cultivate them himself, so he doesn't have to buy fruit tree seedlings everywhere.

"Don't worry." Zhang Liu reached out and picked up the teapot, filled Xia Yang's teacup, and said: "When the shipping is opened, it will be delivered, and it won't delay the planting of fruit trees."

"I know." Xia Yang nodded.

Shipping was opened early, so it only took more than half a month for ships to sail, but it would take two months for the land to thaw and be cultivated.

Xia Yang was not in a hurry about this matter. He mainly wanted to grow watermelons, strawberries and grapes on the farm, which were rare fruits brought from foreign countries.

This is the north, the weather is cold, and the fruits that can be grown are limited. If Xia Yang doesn't think of a way, it will not be easy to make more money.

So he came up with the idea of ​​growing off-season fruits.

For fruits like pears, dates, etc., if they grow and bear fruit normally, they won't make much money at all. He just bought a mountain to plant some.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Only when they are grown when there is no fruit can they have high profits and high returns. That's why Xia Yang would go to great lengths to ask Zhang Liu for help.

The two talked for a while, and Zhang Liu introduced the situation of the farm to Xia Yang, so that he could prepare himself.

"The farmers in these two farms are all back from the battlefield." Zhang Liu said, "They have a difficult life. Some of them have become estranged from their parents and brothers and sisters because they have been away from home for many years, and they can't live in their original villages."

Xia Yang heard Zhang Liu's words and gradually understood the difficulties of these people. They were either disabled and not tolerated by their families, or they were serving in the military.

Their wives and children were tortured at home, and they left their hometown in anger, dragging their families to make a living outside. Each of them had their own unknown sadness.

"Alas!" Zhang Liu sighed: "Fortunately, they have someone to turn to, so they don't have to stay at home and suffer grievances, let alone live a miserable life on the streets."

"Is it the owner of the manor?" Xia Yang asked: "Then why do you want to sell the manor? Don't you want to take care of them now?"

"How could that be?" Zhang Liu smiled: "Even if I support them, I can afford it. I just want them to live a richer life, but I can't do it."

"Don't you want to grow fruits?" Zhang Liu said: "It should be very profitable, otherwise you wouldn't do it." "

Tsk." Xia Yang understood immediately that Zhang Liu was playing tricks on him, "Are you trying to say that after I make money, I will not treat them badly and let them live a better life?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Liu asked back. "I guess

so." Xia Yang really wouldn't treat people badly. As long as he did his job well and made money, how could he let them continue to suffer, "Do you know the owner of the manor?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I help you buy it." Zhang Liu smiled.

He told Xia Yang now because he was afraid that Xia Yang would be suspicious when he saw those people in the manor, and might have other ideas at that time, so it would be better to say it clearly now.

But Zhang Liu did not tell Xia Yang who sold him the manor, and he would let others tell him later, as he was not suitable to mention these things.

Since then, Xia Yang has been busy every day. Except for being intimate with Liu Jingwen at night, he has no time during the day. What

they don't know is that at this time, someone in the capital is also busy in addition to throwing out a shocking news.

Not only did the people in the capital have new gossip after dinner, but they were also worried that something might implicate themselves.

Chapter 74

"General."

Wang Lin came in to report: "The luggage is ready, and we can set off after the imperial edict comes."

"Okay." Chu Yuwen said: "Go to Prince Zhong's mansion and ask the prince when he will leave."

"Prince?" Wang Lin looked at Chu Yuwen in confusion, "But are you going to Dongchuan Mansion as well?"

"Yes." Chu Yuwen nodded, "If he leaves in the near future, we can go together. If he can't get away for the time being, we will go first."

He couldn't wait any longer, and his heart had already flown to Dongchuan Mansion, wanting to see his son as soon as possible.

"Yes." Wang Lin's face showed joy, "I will go right away."

Chu Yuwen waved his hand, motioning him to leave.

Looking at Wang Lin's back, Chu Yuwen's thoughts were complicated. When he heard Prince Zhong's response and asked himself whether he would leave together, he knew that he had accepted his son.

Although he had not shown up for a long time, the best imperial physician in the palace came to see him every day, carefully conditioning his body, and some precious tonics were sent to the general's mansion like water.

Chu Yuwen knew: This was all arranged by Prince Zhong.

He did not object and tried his best to take care of his body. It was not until a few days ago that the imperial physician announced that his body had recovered that Chu Yuwen began to worry.

Chu Yuwen got up and packed up. Most of the things he brought with him were gifts for his son. He did not let Wang Lin take care of them. He

did not know that Wang Lin's departure would delay his trip again, so that it was already hot in the summer when he arrived at Dongchuan Prefecture.

...

"General." Wang Lin hurried into the study and said to Chu Yuwen: "Prince Zhong is in the front hall."

"Huh?" Chu Yuwen was stunned.

He did not expect that sending Wang Lin to go there would actually attract Prince Zhong. At this moment, Chu Yuwen felt a little uneasy, wondering if it was because of his son's matter.

"Hello, Your Highness." Chu Yuwen rushed to the front hall and saluted Prince Zhong. "I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"No problem." Prince Zhong said: "It was my abruptness to come here. Please forgive me, General Chu."

"I dare not." Chu Yuwen's heart jumped violently, and he said he dared not.

"It seems." Prince Zhong sighed slightly: "We can never go back to the past. We are as unfamiliar as strangers."

Chu Yuwen looked up and saw some sadness in Prince Zhong's eyes. He felt uncomfortable, "It's all my fault. I'm stupid."

"That's it." Prince Zhong said.

His eyes fell on Chu Yuwen, and he looked at him carefully. He saw that his cheeks were rosy and he looked refreshed. His posture was as straight as a javelin.

He looked much more confident, as if he was still the brave young man who went forward in the military camp, fearless of life and death, and nothing could hinder his progress.

"Sit down." Prince Zhong saw him lower his head and frowned, standing there motionless, "I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes." Chu Yuwen followed his orders.

It seemed to be back to the past, everything was led by Prince Zhong, no matter what, he would fully cooperate without any objections.

Prince Zhong took out a small wooden box, stroked it gently with his hands, and said tenderly: "This is a piece of top-quality warm jade that Grandpa Huang got when he was alive, and he gave it to me."

"I like it very much and have kept it well, but no matter how much I like it, I can't compare to a person, so I carved it into two jade pendants myself."

Chu Yuwen's eyes fell on Prince Zhong's slender fingers. Seeing his gentle movements and seeming reluctant to part with it, he thought: Is he going to give it to his son?

"I wanted to give you the whole piece back then." Prince Zhong paused and said: "Congratulations on your return to the capital to be conferred a title and a gift for promotion."

"But after that incident, I wanted to use it as a betrothal gift. I guess I'm stingy!" Prince Zhong raised the corner of his mouth and showed a smile, "You can give less gift."

Chu Yuwen was shocked and stared at Prince Zhong with wide eyes. His lips trembled and he couldn't speak. He felt uncomfortable like a needle prick in his heart.

"That day, I wanted to reveal my identity to you and tell you that I would be responsible for you." Prince Zhong said slowly: "But you were so flustered and kept apologizing to me."

"I just wanted to calm you down and not give you too much shock. I was also afraid that you would not accept becoming someone else's male wife and give up the fame and fortune you worked so hard for."

Prince Zhong sighed: "When I returned to the palace, I thought that whether you were willing or not, I had to let you see my sincerity, so I told my father and mother that I wanted to get married."

"As a result, I was beaten with eighty military sticks. While lying in bed recovering from my injuries, I carved the warm jade into two jade pendants to let my father and mother know that no one could stop me from welcoming you into the house."

"My father regretted it and never touched me. After this severe punishment, he immediately changed his attitude and personally arranged the betrothal gifts."

"No one objected to my statement that I would only marry one person in this life. Instead, my mother and I kept making a fuss, trying every way to make me change my mind."

"So she thought of many ways, such as hanging herself, drinking medicine, and banging her head against the wall, all of which showed her determination, so I followed her example." When

Prince Zhong said this, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and his eyes looked into the distance as if he was looking at something through the air.

"When my mother hanged herself, I drank medicine. When my mother banged her head against the wall, I banged my head against the pillar first. When my mother drank medicine, I stabbed myself with a knife."

Chu Yuwen's eyes were red, and he didn't know what to say when he looked at Prince Zhong. Where did he get the courage to go against the prince and the princess?

Prince Zhong raised his hand to cover his left chest, glanced at Chu Yuwen lightly, and said: "I still have a scar here."

"You?" Chu Yuwen covered his mouth and let his tears fall, "How could you hurt yourself?"

He was extremely heartbroken. He didn't expect that Prince Zhong had done so much behind his back, but it was fate that made them miss so many years.

"There is no other way." Prince Zhong said, "I don't want to disappoint my father, my mother and you, so I can only harden my heart and do these rebellious things."

"From my mother's compromise and agreeing to take you as a concubine, to agreeing to take you as the principal wife, allowing me to take in other concubines and a few concubines."

"I didn't leave her any wiggle room and firmly insisted on my decision until my mother stopped making a fuss and said she didn't care about the matter anymore. I was relieved."

He looked at Chu Yuwen seriously, "If my father and mother really loved me, they wouldn't force me to death. If not, it doesn't matter if I don't want you. What's wrong with taking you away?"

"Do you dare?" Prince Zhong asked back, but without waiting for Chu Yuwen to answer, he continued, "It's a pity that while I was recuperating in the mansion and accompanying my mother, someone left me alone and left quietly."

"By the time I arranged things in the mansion and took the betrothal gifts to find you, you had disappeared. Do you know how I felt at that time?" Prince Zhong asked.

"I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I asked the betrothal team to stay away from me to avoid embarrassing you. I went there alone to discuss it with you first."

After he said this, he sat there in silence, as if he had returned to the past. The past was still vivid in his mind, a pain that could never be erased.

When he saw that the person had disappeared without a trace and learned that he had left the capital, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was so angry that he wanted to die immediately.

When had he ever been so embarrassed? Being despised by others, he had to stay away from them like avoiding a flood or a beast.

How should he face his father, mother, and those people in the mansion who knew about it?

When he was young, he lost his mind because of his loyalty. He was determined to completely erase this person from his mind and never think about him again.

But less than a year later, he heard the news that Chu Yuwen went to the battlefield. He couldn't let it go, so he immediately rushed to the border with great righteousness.

He gave himself a reason to forgive Chu Yuwen at that time: as a man, how could he be willing to be inferior to others and be a male wife trapped in the inner house.

"I thought at that time that you worked so hard to earn military merits, you must be aiming at the officialdom, making achievements and marrying a beautiful wife."

Prince Zhong said: "So I don't blame you, but I just can't get over it!"

"When I saw you at the border, you were almost chopped to death. At that moment, I knew that I really didn't blame you for leaving without saying goodbye, nor did I blame you for not even giving me a chance to explain it in person."

He couldn't help but stroke his forehead, feeling extremely regretful that he had let the two people miss so many years because of his momentary anger, and he was even more ashamed of being jealous of the two concubines who were not worthy of the name.

"It's my fault." Prince Zhong said, "I should have gone to you and explained everything to you face to face. I was irresponsible."

He couldn't say anything else, and he had to save face, so he could only say, "I missed the chance to pursue you in Dongchuan Prefecture, and I missed your return from the border. I don't want to miss it again this time."

"After all, I already have a son." At this time, he didn't call himself the king, but brought out the energy he had in the military camp, "I can't let my son laugh at his father. He has wasted more than 20 years and can't even get a wife."

Prince Zhong looked serious, and at this moment he put away all his tenderness, and asked solemnly, "Are you willing to accept this jade pendant?"

"Of course." Chu Yuwen took the small wooden box handed over by Prince Zhong without any hesitation, "If I didn't have so many concerns, I wouldn't have let you and me suffer so much, and our son."

When Chu Yuwen wrote to Prince Zhong, he had made up his mind that as long as Prince Zhong was willing to accept his son, he would throw himself into him without hesitation.

Even if Prince Zhong only accepted his son and refused to forgive himself, Chu Yuwen did not want to avoid him like before, and would always accompany him silently.

At this time, he no longer cared whether Lord Chu agreed or not, and he would no longer be afraid of his aunt's means and coercion. Now no one was more important than the person in front of him.

"Yeah." Prince Zhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know if Chu Yuwen would get into a dead end again at this time. "I will personally ask the emperor for permission to witness our marriage." "

Okay." Chu Yuwen nodded and agreed, "I will resign from my official position and hand over the military power."

These are not as important as his own family. High positions and generous salaries have never been in Chu Yuwen's eyes. It's just to protect himself and not give others the opportunity to suppress him at will.

It's also to get away from the Chu Mansion, get rid of the control of his aunt, and find a way out for himself that can be independent and will not be easily trampled by the Chu Mansion.

"No need." Prince Zhong said: "Young man can be an official, you can be an official even more, unless you don't want to, but it's not the time now."

"We are going to Dongchuan Prefecture." Prince Zhong smiled slightly, his handsome face full of tenderness, "You can stay there for a while."

"Yes." Chu Yuwen suddenly remembered that Prince Zhong suggested that the young man take the imperial examination to enter the court as an official, which must be for his own sake.

"In fact, I don't think much of this official position." Chu Yuwen thought: "It was also a helpless move at the time, and it was also a resistance. After all, I can only do this."

"You have to take this official position temporarily, even if it is just an empty position there, like these years, and hand over military affairs to people you trust." Prince Zhong said.

He raised his hand and pointed to the palace, saying: "Be loyal."

Chu Yuwen: "..."

He didn't understand what Prince Zhong meant.

Prince Zhong has been occupying the Three Law Departments for so many years. As far as he knows, Prince Zhong also has a certain influence in the army. Of course, this is a secret matter.

Prince Zhong did not let him be confused for long, and told him why he was in a high position in the court, and was loyal to the emperor with all his heart, and did not care even if he was suspected by others.

It turned out that when the emperor was a child, he was assassinated when he was just born, and he and his mother almost died. The old emperor who was in power at the time sent people to rescue him in time. He kept it secret from the

outside world, saying that both mother and child had died, and secretly sent someone to send the emperor to Prince Zhong's palace and raised him in the old Prince Zhong's other courtyard.

During this period, Prince Zhong was with him. Although they were two uncles, they were like brothers, growing up with the emperor in his cradle.

It was not until the emperor was six years old that he was taken back to the palace by the old emperor to be trained, and Prince Zhong and his uncles were separated. It was also at that time that Prince Zhong ran to the military camp in a rage and met Chu Yuwen.

"Alas!" Prince Zhong sighed: "Back then, the emperor hugged my legs and cried and refused to leave, but the imperial decree was hard to disobey. I promised him that I would ensure his safety and protect the dynasty for him."

He gave his two eunuchs who served him to the emperor, asking them to protect the emperor's safety at all times. They are still serving the emperor.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he assisted the emperor in managing state affairs. The little uncle who hugged his legs so softly and cried back then is still gentle.

Prince Zhong wanted to give up, but there was no way. He could only repeatedly ask the emperor to strictly discipline the prince, hoping that he would be able to get rid of it one day in the future.

"Oh." Chu Yuwen finally understood that Prince Zhong had no interest in state affairs at all. How could he sit high in the court and suppress the ministers with coldness and power after the emperor ascended the throne.

"The Empress and the Imperial Concubine were fighting back then." Chu Yuwen recalled some of the news he had heard. "The previous Emperor suppressed and eradicated the forces behind them and banished them to the cold palace. He also exiled or sent the adult princes to their fiefdoms."

"How could the Emperor allow others to get involved in our great country?" Prince Zhong said disdainfully: "If it weren't for my firm opposition, maybe my father would have ascended the throne."

He sneered in his heart: Whoever wants to be the Emperor can be the Emperor. I don't want to suffer this and do something that is busy with all kinds of affairs.

So Prince Zhong secretly sabotaged it. In front of the Emperor's grandfather who loved him, he always stated that he didn't want to be the Emperor, but only wanted to protect the dynasty.

At the same time, he recommended the Emperor, who was just over ten years old, as the Crown Prince. He had no in-laws in the court and would not cause foreign relatives to interfere in politics. He also inadvertently revealed his dissatisfaction with his father's in-laws.

He destroyed the possibility of his father's succession to the throne, betrayed his mother, and inadvertently led the Emperor to investigate, and finally gave up the idea of ​​letting his father be the Crown Prince.

Prince Zhong would not tell anyone about these secret things. He only told the relationship between himself and the emperor, and that he had no intention of coveting.

"My little uncle already knows your identity." Prince Zhong said, "Last year, I had already found the emperor and told him that I wanted to marry you, and I also told him about my son."

"You?" Chu Yuwen was surprised. He didn't expect Prince Zhong to trust the emperor so much. "The emperor..."

"At first, I strongly opposed it." Prince Zhong smiled and said, "It was also for the sake of the heir. After hearing about your younger brother's identity and knowing that you gave birth to a son for me, I no longer objected."

"Just wait for the news." Prince Zhong said, "Leave everything else to me. Don't have any worries. Remember that I can and am willing to take on everything for you."

"Yeah." What else could Chu Yuwen say? He nodded and said, "I know."

After the two of them said this, they were a little silent. At this point, things still felt a little unreal, especially Chu Yuwen.

He never dreamed that Prince Zhong would think of everything and do it for him, so that he would have no worries and no need to be nervous.

Who knows? After a long silence, Prince Zhong's words almost made Chu Yuwen jump up. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in front of him with disbelief.

"Back then, my father found you." Prince Zhong looked at Chu Yuwen and said, "Didn't you have any hesitation?"

"You?" Chu Yuwen's heart was beating like thunder. He didn't know how Prince Zhong knew about this. "How did you know?"

"I found out when I went to see the emperor." Prince Zhong said, "Didn't you have any doubts? Although you are brave in battle and your ability is also superior among all the generals, how can you easily get the favor of the emperor and send Prince Zhong to talk to you about being sent out and entrusted with important tasks."

"This." Chu Yuwen couldn't say it.

He was panicked at the time and didn't know how to face Prince Zhong? He also resented the Chuhou Mansion and was afraid that his identity would be exposed.

At this time, he was found by the old Prince Zhong, and secretly talked to the emperor about appointing him to Dongchuan Prefecture and promoting him twice.

Chu Yuwen was worrying about what to do next. He thought it would be good to leave the capital so that he wouldn't have to face the Chuhou Mansion or Prince Zhong.

At this time, he didn't have time to think too much. Once he made a decision, he immediately followed the arrangement and hurried to Dongchuan Mansion to take up his post.

But Chu Yuwen didn't expect the real intentions of the old Prince Zhong at this time, and he didn't know that the person who was intimate with him was preparing to marry him at home. That's

why the old Prince Zhong took the opportunity to play tricks and transferred him away from the capital, so that Prince Zhong would give up and would no longer have anything to do with Chu Yuwen.

Of course, Chu Yuwen's initiative to request a transfer was also arranged by the old Prince Zhong. At that time, Prince Zhong was sad and angry, and didn't bother to think about it carefully.

"My father has played a trick on me." Prince Zhong's face showed no emotion, as if he was talking about someone else's business, and he returned to his cold temper, "I have been afraid to come to see you these days."

"Actually, it's my fault." Chu Yuwen didn't want to talk about it anymore. He only knew that everything was over, and he didn't want to blame the old Prince Zhong, "It's my own problem."

"Yeah." Prince Zhong didn't deny this, but just sighed at Chu Yuwen's kindness, "You! You always compete with yourself and make yourself suffer."

After Chu Yuwen knew Prince Zhong's identity, he naturally understood what the old Prince Zhong meant, but he never mentioned it, and even didn't want to say it until now.

Taking all the responsibility on himself, Prince Zhong understood that he was thinking about himself, and at the same time he blamed himself too much, so he let his father escape responsibility.

"Well." Prince Zhong said: "Tit for tat, forget it."

He also played a trick on his father and made him lose the most honorable throne. He will take it as repayment to him, but it made Chu Yuwen and the child suffer.

"After all, the main responsibility lies with me." Prince Zhong said: "The dead are gone, it is useless to pursue them. As long as we have a chance, we will know that what belongs to us will definitely not escape."

Chu Yuwen did not object. In fact, everyone has responsibilities. It is useless to say these things at this time, and there is no need to worry about it.

"Wait for me." Prince Zhong stood up, "After the morning court tomorrow, there will definitely be an imperial edict. You can wait in the mansion with peace of mind."

"Well." Chu Yuwen stood up to see him off.

He wanted to talk about leaving, but then he thought of Prince Zhong's words, that he should give his son an identity so that he would have the face to pick him up.

...

The next morning court, Prince Zhong asked for an order in front of the civil and military officials, asking the emperor to grant a marriage.

At that time, all the officials were shocked. Why didn't they hear the news? Whose family is Prince Zhong going to marry?

"Chu Yuwen, General Chu." Prince Zhong uttered a name, "Please ask the emperor to issue an order."

The civil and military officials were in an uproar. Is this crazy?

So many women, aren't they allowed to be chosen by Prince Zhong?

I just like men, I can marry a boy, but why would I want a man who can't have children?

Are you going to cut off the family line?

Before the emperor could speak, Prime Minister Wang stepped forward and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty. General Chu is a commander..."

"Shut up." Prince Zhong suddenly scolded, not giving the prime minister any face. "How can you interfere in my marriage?"

"I can marry whoever I want." Prince Zhong glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze. "How can you be so presumptuous? You dare to take my position as the princess."

"Uh."

Prime Minister Wang: "..."

The ministers: "..."

There was also the confused Marquis Chu, who was shaking with fear at this time. He knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, my son is going to get married."

"The betrothal gift can be turned into a dowry." Prince Zhong suddenly put away his indifference, smiled, and said softly, "If the Marquis feels that it is unreasonable, you can sever the relationship after giving the dowry. Nothing in the future will involve the Marquis's Mansion. The emperor and the officials are witnesses."

"This..." Lord Chu thought about it, secretly glanced at the emperor, and gritted his teeth and said, "Everything is up to the emperor."

He couldn't save Chu Yuwen, so he could only cut off his tail to survive. At most, he could ask Chu Yuwen

not to have children, and the identity of the young man would not be easily discovered. Without the mark, there would be no children, and no one would deliberately check the identity issue, even the doctor would not easily think of this.

"But..." Prime Minister Wang wanted to say something. Prince Zhong was already so powerful in the court that he couldn't marry another general. "General Chu holds military power."

"So what?" Prince Zhong asked back, "Prince Wang, do you want to accuse me of rebellion? Do you have any evidence? If you do, please present it."

"Okay." The emperor saw that the ministers who followed the prime minister were about to stand up and argue with Prince Zhong, so he hurriedly spoke to smooth things over: "Prince Zhong should have considered marriage earlier. Now that there is someone who wants to marry, how can we not help him?"

"Since the young man can serve as an official in the court, General Chu can naturally do the same." The emperor looked at Prime Minister Wang and said, "I believe in General Chu's loyalty."

Prime Minister Wang wanted to say something else. Just as he was about to speak again under the cold eyes of Prince Zhong, he received the emperor's meaningful gaze.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly he realized something.

Prime Minister Wang: It's a good marriage, a wonderful marriage. Now that there is no heir, what's the point of having so many powers? Your Majesty is wise!

When he thought of this, he changed his attitude just now, apologized to Prince Zhong, and smiled and congratulated him repeatedly, which seemed particularly sincere.

The Emperor: You are really old and confused! I don't know what you are thinking when you give me a look? You actually licked an old face and came forward to congratulate.

Fortunately, I stopped stopping him, so that Prince Zhong could get what he wanted, and I could listen to less disputes and have a quieter ear.

He was about to issue an order, but was stopped by Prince Zhong again, "Your Majesty, please give me the fruit saplings planted by the Ministry of Agriculture."

"Okay." The emperor agreed, and immediately issued an order to grant the marriage and the fruit saplings.

The ministers were dumbfounded again. How long did they have to wait? They could get the fruit saplings from the Ministry of Agriculture, but now they were all stopped.

At this time, they all looked at Prime Minister Wang. It must be because he opposed and annoyed Prince Zhong, which made them suffer the consequences and be punished by Prince Zhong.

The author has something to say: Sorry! It's too late. I will try to be on time next time.

Chapter 75

A month later, it was a good time of spring.

A long procession, with joy resounding through the sky, carried the betrothal gifts tied with red silk and walked around the capital.

Prince Zhong sat on a tall horse, his eyes swept over the people who lined the streets to join in the fun, and with a smile on his face, he told Qiu Shan: "Scatter wedding candies and wedding money, don't stop, all the way to the general's mansion."

"Let the people of the capital feel the joy of this moment as much as I do." Prince Zhong said: "Pray for the princess and your little prince."

"Yes." Qiu Shan rolled his eyes at first. Why would he scatter so much wedding candies and wedding money if he wasn't getting married?

But after hearing the latter words, he immediately responded with energy: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, today I will make sure that the people on both sides of the street who are cheering for you will be as happy as if it were Chinese New Year."

"Pfft~" Prince Zhong almost burst out laughing. What could he do with a subordinate who had a bad brain?

He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you arrange it!"

Today is the day when Prince Zhong goes to the General's Mansion to propose marriage. He wants to give Chu Yuwen all the glory he can give and wipe out all his grievances and forbearance.

Let the whole capital and the world know how glorious Chu Yuwen is, and no longer need to wrong himself to fulfill others. He has the best life.

One, one hundred, two, and ten loads of betrothal gifts, the best treasures and jades, antique calligraphy and paintings, picked and pressed again and again, and there are still many that cannot be packed.

Prince Zhong knows that Chu Yuwen has no savings, and Lord Chu may not prepare much dowry for him, so he prepared it in advance and must not let Chu Yuwen lose face.

Each load of betrothal gifts is full, and it is so heavy that it is extremely difficult for two strong men to carry it, and if they are disassembled and reassembled.

In other mansions, it must be divided into at least two loads, or even more. This is Prince Zhong's sincerity and his intention to give Chu Yuwen everything he has.

"Here they come, here they come."

Suddenly, several young men squeezed into the crowd and walked forward with difficulty, walking in front of the betrothal team, explaining to the people around them.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, wait here, people throwing wedding candies and wedding money will come over soon."

A handsome young man, with a bright and innocent smile, said, "Prince Zhong has prepared a lot of wedding candies and wedding money, and will throw them all the way to the general's mansion. You all wait to collect the wedding candies and wedding money."

He called to several friends beside him, "Hurry up, Prince Zhong's team is coming, we are in front to help appease the people, and we must not block the team from moving forward."

These young men are Zhang Yunxiao and Wang Minwen. Knowing that Prince Zhong is betrothing today, they spontaneously cleared the way in front.

They must ensure that the team will not be blocked, let the onlookers disperse a path, and tell the people around them proudly.

Let them wait to receive the wedding candy and wedding money, "Do you know how much the betrothal gift of Prince Zhong is? One, one hundred, two, or ten loads. He values ​​General Chu very much, knowing that he has fought hard for our court."

"General Chu is poor, and all his savings have been used in the army. This time the emperor ordered the marriage and rewarded a lot of dowry, and praised him highly."

Zhang Yunxiao didn't know the actual situation of Chu Yuwen, but because he was favored by Prince Zhong and knew Chu Yuwen, he considered him a friend.

So he said whatever was good and beneficial to Chu Yuwen, and demonstrated his joy and gratitude with his own actions.

Even though they knew that Prince Zhong didn't need them to clear the way, this was the only way they could help and repay him, so they spared no effort to tell people to appease them and not crowd and block the road.

"Here they come, here they come." The onlookers, upon hearing what Zhang Yunxiao and the others said, stretched their necks to look at Prince Zhong's team, "Here come those who throw wedding candies and wedding money."

Qiu Shan led the team, directing people to throw wedding candies and wedding money, throwing handfuls of copper coins and wedding candies to the crowds on both sides, occasionally mixed with some small silver coins.

The drums and music sounded, and the joy of the suona infected the people around, and joy rose in their hearts, as if they were really participating in it.

Everyone suddenly became excited, smiling and full of expectations, and hoped to see Prince Zhong riding a tall horse soon.

The people in the capital were not too poor, but this was wedding candies and wedding money, and it was given by Prince Zhong. They were happy and wanted to send their sincere blessings.

"Come on, come on, shout, let's shout first." Zhang Yunxiao commanded the people, "Follow me and shout, Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince."

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince."

Joining in the fun is a great pleasure for the people. It is such a happy event, and there are things to take, so they naturally obey orders.

Smiling faces all opened their mouths to cooperate with Zhang Yunxiao and shouted loudly again and again, as if they merged into a torrent of sound and spread far away, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince."

When Prince Zhong rode in front of him, these people saluted one after another. The originally messy scene suddenly became neat and uniform, as if waiting for Prince Zhong to come for inspection.

Even the little kids, lying in the arms of adults, showed innocent and ignorant eyes, looking at the long team in front of them and the prince who was high above with curiosity and expectation.

"Let's rejoice together." Prince Zhong rode on his horse and bowed to the people around him, "May the people of our dynasty have enough food and clothing, and live in peace and prosperity, and may all the people of the world rejoice together."

"Roar~"

When the people heard Prince Zhong's words, and then saw this extremely graceful and handsome prince, bowing to them and blessing them, they were immediately excited, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

Men, women, old and young, and even little kids, unconsciously raised their voices louder and louder, shouting from the bottom of their hearts, with joy and excitement on their faces.

Prince Zhong looked at the scene in front of him and could no longer maintain a calm state of mind. His eyes, like black jade, half-closed, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

When he looked at Zhang Yunxiao and the others jumping up and down in the crowd, a warm smile appeared on his lips, "It's great to be young!"

"Come here." Prince Zhong waved to Zhang Yunxiao, showing his kindness as if to a younger generation, "Wipe the sweat."

He handed the handkerchief to Zhang Yunxiao, rubbed his head, and thanked him in a soft voice: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhang Yunxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he heard Prince Zhong say that it was hard, he smiled like a little fool, "Prince Zhong and General Chu are the ones who have worked hard. It's you who protect the dynasty and the people of the world."

He heard his father often talk about Prince Zhong's great achievements, and his cold and ruthless side. He never showed mercy to those who caused trouble in the court.

This will make the court stable, the people of the world live and work in peace, and the emperor can sit on the throne with peace of mind. Only

those ministers who are loyal to the emperor and love the people can show their talents and realize their ambitions.

"Yes." Prince Zhong smiled and said, "You should have a few more drinks with your friends later. I will personally thank you."

"Of course." Zhang Yunxiao nodded like pounding garlic, forgetting the huge difference in status. "We also want to pay tribute to the prince and the princess! Send your blessings in person."

"Okay." Prince Zhong rode slowly on his horse, and there was already a big gap in front of him. "I will go ahead."

"Farewell, Prince." Zhang Yunxiao shouted loudly.

The people around him didn't understand why, and when they heard him shouting, they shouted together: "Farewell, Prince, congratulations, Prince."

Prince Zhong shook his head and chuckled. He didn't ask for such high standards, and he was indeed easy to satisfy. "People can't be greedy. Greed is hard to satisfy. Only when you are content can you be happy."

He never had high demands on these ignorant people. At this moment, he would not mind whatever they shouted, let alone blessings.

...

"General, the prince is here."

Wang Lin hurriedly said with an excited smile, "The people of the capital are accompanying him, it is very lively, everyone congratulates the prince and shares joy."

"Oh." Chu Yuwen replied casually, but his eyes were looking outside, "Have you reached the mansion?"

"Here we are, the marquis is receiving him." Wang Lin said, "I will report to the general, Zhao Yujiang and others are watching in front, nothing will go wrong."

"You go too." Chu Yuwen said, "Don't tire everyone in the marquis' mansion, let's do it ourselves."

"Yes." Wang Lin replied, turned around and left.

Chu Yuwen was sitting in his study. He couldn't go out now. He was bound by red tape and etiquette, which made him anxious.

He wanted to witness the scene of the engagement with his own eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

Thinking of the words that Lord Chu had told him with fear, Chu Yuwen showed a mocking smile on his face: If he were the legitimate son, he would never do this.

It can be said that the two of them no longer have any father-son relationship over the years. They are only tied by blood and surname. Apart from these, they are almost strangers.

Chu Yuwen understood why Prince Zhong had to involve Lord Chu. He wanted to save face for himself and teach the Chu Marquisate a lesson.

Let them know that he is no longer a low-ranking bastard who can be ignored or manipulated at will. He needs to look up to them and will not give them any response.

Chu Yuwen understood that Prince Zhong's intention to vent his anger on him, so he did not tell Lord Chu anything between him and Prince Zhong.

Including the fact that Prince Zhong knew his younger brother's identity.

This made them nervous and afraid to get close to him, and they had the intention of clinging to him.

At this time, Wang Lin ran in again, "General, the prince invites you to the front hall."

"Me?" Chu Yuwen was stunned. This was against the rules. "Why would you invite me to the front hall? Didn't anyone from the Ministry of Clan and the Ministry of Rites stop you?"

"Objected." Wang Lin said, "The prince said that this is the general's mansion and you are the host. Please go there as the host. It is not against the rules."

"Yes!" Chu Yuwen's eyes lit up. Only then did he know that Prince Zhong insisted on proposing in the general's mansion instead of going to the Chuhou Mansion. It turned out that there was another reason.

He stood up and tidied his clothes. He had dressed up specially. The decent long robe on his body set off his handsome and elegant appearance.

His handsome face was as gentle as jade. Even though he had been in the army for many years, it could not change his gentle and elegant demeanor. He was calm and graceful.

"I'm here."

Prince Zhong saw Chu Yuwen coming to the hall, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he stretched out his hand, "I'll betroth you to you, and hold your hand for life."

"Yes." Chu Yuwen responded softly, handed his hand to Prince Zhong, and said softly: "I got what I wished for, and may the prince live long."

He smiled lightly, his eyes full of happiness, and finally waited for this day.

Even in dreams, he dared not dream of this scene. At this moment, Chu Yuwen let go of everything.

In his heart and eyes, there was only Prince Zhong.

Prince Zhong looked at Chu Yuwen, his eyes and heart were full of tenderness, "Holding hands with each other, a lifelong wish."

He was glad that he had never thought of giving up Chu Yuwen for so many years, even if he knew it was impossible to be together, he didn't want to watch him struggle alone.

Always pay attention to him, secretly arrange everything for him, and don't regret trapping Chu Yuwen in the capital for ten or eighteen years, and protecting him under his wings.

Because they each other, all they need is to hold hands and accompany each other.

At this moment, they are complete!

It put a perfect end to the entanglement of so many years and the close distance of this life.

"This is the betrothal gift list, please check it, General Chu." Prince Zhong held Chu Yuwen's hand tightly with one hand, and handed him a thick stack of betrothal gift lists with the other hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Yuwen smiled and took it, but did not look at it. He looked up and looked deeply at Prince Zhong, his eyes full of warmth and kindness.

Prince Zhong was reluctant to look away, and signaled Qiu Shan behind him, and ordered: "Let the Ministry of Rites start, don't delay the banquet."

He knew that even if he left with Chu Yuwen now, the pomp and rules could not be waived, and the rules should be followed step by step.

What's more, this was his betrothal, which was related to Chu Yuwen's life, and Prince Zhong didn't want to leave just like that, leaving the betrothal without a key figure. He

must make this betrothal go smoothly, and there must be no regrets, which is why he found an excuse to invite Chu Yuwen out.

So he suppressed his temper, held Chu Yuwen's hand, and experienced this moment with him.

"Yes." Qiu Shan knew that his own prince had no time to care about other things, so he could only do it himself, and said loudly: "Read the betrothal gifts."

"Ten thousand taels of betrothal money."

The head of the Ministry of Rites read out loudly: "One hundred thousand taels of betrothal silver."

"Ten pieces of top-quality white jade, six pieces of black jade, warm jade..."

"Rare antiques

..." "Antique calligraphy and paintings..."

"Pearls and jadeite..."

The head of the Ministry of Rites read out one by one and reported the number. Each of them was a rare treasure that even some princes and ministers could not afford.

"Wow!"

"Oh!"

Some younger princes and young masters could not control their emotions and exclaimed with each betrothal gift.

Even some princes and ministers had a gleam in their eyes, estimated the value in their hearts, and their eyes on Chu Yuwen changed.

What do these betrothal gifts mean?

In the hearts of many people, they gradually understood some truths and felt regretful about their past actions.

Chu Yuwen would no longer be looked down upon by anyone, and even those who speculated on why Prince Zhong wanted to marry him had faded.

Those who harbored small thoughts, dark thoughts, and conspiracy theories were completely defeated by these betrothal gifts.

The head of the Ministry of Rites took the list of betrothal gifts and read it for almost half an hour. There were still some betrothal gifts that had not been read out, which showed how many and how rich they were.

These were all treasures collected by Prince Zhong's palace for many years, as well as rewards given by the emperor. Prince Zhong picked the best ones to put in the betrothal gifts, and each one was priceless.

At first, some people were envious and amazed, but as the head read on, the people watching the ceremony became calm, and almost all of them listened mechanically with numb faces.

Even Lord Chu and his wife widened their eyes in disbelief. These betrothal gifts were almost catching up with the specifications of the emperor marrying the empress.

To be more precise, they were even better. After all, when the emperor married the empress, he might not be able to spend so much money and do his best to come up with the best betrothal gifts.

At this moment, they couldn't tell what they were feeling, especially the Marquis's wife, who had plotted against Chu Yuwen by drugging him and forcing him to marry her distant cousin.

She looked at Chu Yuwen uneasily, then turned to look at Marquis Chu, and found that he had a solemn face, with regret and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Too expensive!" Chu Yuwen saw so many betrothal gifts and smiled: "You don't need so much."

He didn't mean to object, but just sighed at the degree of Prince Zhong's care for him, and was happy to meet someone who gave him everything.

"There are still many, and I can't take them all." Prince Zhong smiled slightly and whispered: "The specifications and regulations are there, and I can't ignore them completely. I can only ask you to go to the warehouse in the mansion to choose what you like in the future."

Even if he is as noble as a prince, there are still insurmountable existences. Even if some people don't mind, Prince Zhong must abide by some rules.

After all, there are ancestors above him, as well as clan elders, and the one on the highest throne. Prince Zhong doesn't want to give others a chance to criticize him.

"Enough." Chu Yuwen turned his head and got closer to Prince Zhong, and whispered in the same way: "Having the prince is enough, these are just icing on the cake."

"Yuwen." Prince Zhong's heart was moved, and he was excited by Chu Yuwen's words. He couldn't hide his love in his heart, "Nothing has ever been more important than you, including myself."

The two protagonists completely ignored this occasion, abandoned the noise on the side, forgot the measure they should have now, and only cared about the people in front of them.

Under the strange gazes of the guests, they only cared about telling each other their hearts, no longer hiding, and forgot all about face, rules and etiquette.

They just wanted to let their beloved know how much they loved them and what position they held in their hearts, even higher than themselves. At

this moment, they even forgot about their son, who they had always thought about, and could not allow anyone to distract them.

Until the head of the Ministry of Rites read out all the betrothal gifts and came to ask Prince Zhong, "Your subordinate pays respects to the prince and General Chu."

The head saluted and said, "Can we have a banquet and invite the guests to the table?"

"Have a banquet." Prince Zhong retracted his gaze from Chu Yuwen, "We must ensure that the spectators feel at home. We must not bring shame to the royal family and make General Chu feel that we have not treated them well."

"Yes." The head of the Ministry of Rites bowed and said, "Your subordinate obeys your command."

"Let's go." Prince Zhong looked at Chu Yuwen, whose face was full of blush and a little shy, "Let's go and toast to those who sincerely wish us well."

"Okay." Chu Yuwen looked up, glanced at Prince Zhong and said, "Even if it is not in accordance with the rules and etiquette, we must thank these people today."

Prince Zhong: He is still as green as ever, as sincere as a teenager. After all, only time has passed, never people's hearts and true feelings.

Chapter 76

The warm sun is high in the sky, the spring light is shining, and the earth is warming up.

It is a good time for an outing. Xia Yang helped Liu Jingwen sit on the ox cart, "Sit tight."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen smiled, with undisguised tenderness in his eyes, "You drive the cart, don't worry about me."

"Okay." Xia Yang sat on the ox cart, holding the whip in one hand and the reins in the other, "Let's go."

He was going to sign the contract for the farm he was going to buy. Seeing that the weather was good recently, he took Liu Jingwen out to let him feel the spring breeze and relax.

"Huh." Xia Yang took a deep breath, squinted his eyes comfortably, and smelled the scent of soil in the breeze. "Spring plowing is about to begin, and the flowers and grass on the roadside will bloom. Then you will smell the fragrance of flowers."

"Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and all the flowers are competing for beauty." Liu Jingwen smiled and said, "It's spring again."

He sat upright, handsome and gentle, talking to Xia Yang with a smile on his face . It happened that a

wisp of spring breeze blew over his face, ruffling a few strands of hair. Just blocking those eyes that were full of fragrance and tenderness, Liu Jingwen raised his hand to brush away the hair, and a few strands of hair fell on his cheeks.

A pair of warm big hands fell on his face, caressing and touching his white cheeks, and then smoothed his hair and tucked it behind his ears.

Xia Yang's eyes were somewhat obsessed, he looked at Liu Jingwen unwillingly, "I have never seen anyone more handsome than you."

"Don't you get tired of looking at him every day?" Liu Jingwen smiled, "I've touched your facial features, you have thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, smooth facial lines and sharp edges. You must be handsome, bright eyes and heroic."

"Not bad." Xia Yang raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed across his eyes. No wonder he would gently stroke and touch his cheek every day, "You are just a little bit handsome, and you can be called handsome and elegant."

He touched Liu Jingwen's face again, his skin was so smooth that people couldn't let go. It was a pity that he was outside, and Xia Yang could only touch him once or twice when there was no one around.

He turned around and sat up straight to catch the car, and said in a particularly good mood: "Let's go out for a walk when we have nothing to do in the future, and we can go to the county town to play when we have time another

day." "We should also buy some clothes. We will take off our padded jackets soon and change into light and thin single clothes." Xia Yang said: "What style do you want to buy? We will pick a few pieces carefully then."

"Light colors, no complicated patterns." Liu Jingwen said: "A few simple green bamboos, or a few auspicious clouds on the collar and corners of the robe , simple and generous."

"Yeah." Xia Yang knew his preferences, but wanted to see him wear other colors, "How about buying a red dress? Show a few flowers on it, you can show small flowers on the corners, it won't be too eye-catching and it suits your preferences."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not object to Xia Yang, knowing that he liked to dress up himself, "Buy two sets, we will wear the same clothes."

"Me?" Xia Yang turned his head in surprise, looked at Liu Jingwen and said: "I am a big and strong man, wearing red clothes, others will think I am getting married."

"Brother Yang, are you afraid of being seen?" Liu Jingwen smiled, "I'm here, we're wearing the same clothes, it won't look awkward."

"Tsk." If Xia Yang didn't know that Liu Jingwen was playing a trick on him, he would be a fool. "Okay, just wear it, what's there to be afraid of."

They joked along the way, and they didn't feel lonely. It was much better than Xia Yang's daily trips alone. "I'll take you with me when I go out in the future."

Xia Yang said, "I'll be busy in a while, and may not be back at noon. Why don't you come with me to the farm?"

He thought that he would soon be busy at the farm, and would have no time to take care of Liu Jingwen from dawn to dusk. Xia Yang also didn't want to let him be alone at home.

"No need." Liu Jingwen said: "It's inconvenient for me to follow you back and forth. I have already agreed with Brother Wang that he will come here every morning and go back in the evening. I will not stay at home alone."

Liu Jingwen didn't know Xia Yang's intentions. He didn't want to hold him back, so he had made arrangements in advance and said: "There is no house on the farm. It will cause trouble to stay in someone else's house. When our house is built, we will move here without worries."

"Well." Xia Yang thought about it, this is also possible, otherwise it would be hard for Liu Jingwen to go out early and come back late with him every day. "I will find Brother Zhang and ask him to see if we can start building the house as soon as possible."

In fact, it is possible now, but the surface is not much melted. If it is difficult to dig the foundation, Xia Yang thought that if it doesn't work, he will add a little more silver.

...

"Boss."

Wang Dali saw Xia Yang's ox cart and hurried over to say: "Everyone is here, just waiting for you, boss."

Wang Dali is burly, with strong muscles, standing there like a bear. He is in his forties, but he gives people the aura of a bandit leader.

"Wang Zhuangtou." Xia Yang greeted him with a smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, no." Wang Dali said: "We are all new here, we are closer."

Xia Yang helped Liu Jingwen get off the car and introduced him to Wang Dali, "This is Liu Xiucai, my head of the family."

He couldn't call him husband, so he followed the old women in the village and called Liu Xiucai head of the family, so that others would know that Liu Jingwen was a family member.

"Oh oh." Wang Dali was stunned, but fortunately he had strong concentration and reacted in time, "Liu head of the family."

"Puff~" Xia Yang burst into laughter, this name was too weird, he waved his hand and said: "Let's call him Liu Xiucai, this Liu head of the family is not good, I thought he was the leader of a village who was a bandit."

"What do you think? Little scholar." Xia Yang asked.

"Whatever." Liu Jingwen was indifferent, it didn't matter what the name was, as long as he knew that he was Xia Yang's husband, he said to Wang Dali: "Wang Zhuangtou."

"Liu Xiucai." Wang Dali hurriedly greeted.

Veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his eyes could not help but glance at Xia Yang. He saw that he was tall and strong, with a heroic aura, and he didn't look like a little brother at all.

Wang Dali's eyes moved down and finally fell on the base of Xia Yang's left hand. He saw a piece of cloth there, and instantly understood the truth. It was not that he had made a mistake, but that Xia Yang had deceived him.

"Let's go." Xia Yang held Liu Jingwen's arm and led him to Wang Dali's house. "Let's go to Wang Zhuangtou's house first. The farmers are waiting there."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen picked up his crutches and walked forward with Xia Yang.

Wang Dali then saw that Liu Jingwen had problems with his eyes. Seeing Xia Yang carefully holding him, he hurriedly ran in front of them and cleared some branches and stones on the road.

"Thank you." Xia Yang thanked him when he saw his actions.

"What are you polite about?" Wang Dali smiled and said, "We will live in the same farm in the future. If there is anything, just let the owner tell us."

This is the 600-acre farm that Xia Yang bought. He plans to plant fruit trees here, so he will also settle down here.

As for the small farms, they grow watermelons, strawberries and grapes. These rare fruits are also the main source of money.

Xia Yang came here today to sign confidentiality agreements with these farmers, so that they cannot spread the word about the fruit trees they planted and the techniques they taught.

As for Zhang Liu, Xia Yang believes that these people with military backgrounds are loyal and keep their promises, but as the saying goes: It is difficult to guard against thieves at home.

Other people in their family may not strictly abide by Xia Yang's instructions and guarantee that they will not tell others about what happened in the farm.

Money can move people's hearts, and Xia Yang still has to guard against what he should guard against, so this contract must be signed.

"Wang Zhuangtou, have you told the farmers about reclaiming the land?" Xia Yang asked, "What opinions do you have? If you want to leave, tell us in advance. We will be plowing the land soon and we cannot be short of manpower."

"No one left, everyone agreed, and they thanked the boss." Wang Dali said with a smile: "Growing crops depends on the weather for food, and working for the boss doesn't have to worry about this, who would disagree?"

"That's good." Xia Yang nodded with satisfaction, saving him from having to find someone else, "Everyone agrees, let's sign the contract today."

They came to the door of Wang Dali's house, which was already full of people, and not far away there was another dark crowd, all the people in the farm came to watch the fun.

"Boss, Mr. Liu." Wang Dali had set up a table and a few chairs at the door of his house in advance, "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Xia Yang thanked him.

He helped Liu Jingwen sit down, put the contract he brought on the table, looked at the young and old men in front of him, and said: "Wang Zhuangtou, say you all agree to stay here to work."

Xia Yang looked around and saw that these men listened carefully, no one talked nonsense, and then said: "If you stay here to work, you must sign a contract and promise not to tell anyone about my arrangements, including your family."

He pointed to the contract and said: "If you agree, come and sign the contract. If you don't agree, it's up to you and you can leave on your own."

"Everyone agrees." The head of the small manor, Liu Zhuangtou, said: "Do as the boss says, we have no objection."

With this sentence, the men nodded in agreement, indicating their attitude and agreed to sign the contract.

Xia Yang looked at their expressions and understood what Zhang Liu might have said in it, so that these people would believe unconditionally and have no resistance to him.

So he said, "I want two hundred people to help me plant fruit trees. As long as they don't be lazy and work hard, I will pay them one or two taels of silver a month. This price is not very high but not low either."

"The same salary as the accountant?" Wang Dali sighed, "I didn't expect the boss to be so generous! We only get five or six hundred coins a month working outside. If the salary is higher, we have to get up early and work late for who knows how many hours, but it doesn't exceed eight hundred coins." The farmers, who had been calm all the time, changed their faces because of Xia Yang's salary. Their eyes were full of surprise. They never dreamed that they could earn so much money working at their doorstep. "Boss, I want to sign the contract." A young man of about 15 or 16 years old was the first to stand out, smiling with narrowed eyes. "I haven't earned so much money yet, so I must sign first to avoid being squeezed out by others." "You are smart." Xia Yang did not despise him for being young, and he liked his cleverness and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll sign for you first." "And me, and me." Xia Yang had just sat down and had not picked up the pen when many people stood up, almost all of them were young men, and the older ones were still reserved. "Don't worry, I'll read the contract first, and you can decide whether to sign it after listening to it." Xia Yang said. Who knew that the young man who stood out first touched his head with a smile and said: "What do you want to read? I will sign it if I say so, even if you sell me and take back the money." "Hahaha." His words made everyone laugh, making the once unfamiliar scene much more harmonious, and they could also joke with each other, and everyone's tense expressions relaxed. "You still have to read it." Xia Yang also smiled and insisted on reading it to them, saying: "A contract is a constraint. If you can act in accordance with the contract and can accept the constraints, you can sign it." "Sign." said the little man. He insisted on signing, "I'll sign. As long as I do what the boss says, there will be no constraints. What's there to be afraid of?" "Okay, sign it." Xia Yang didn't delay any longer, picked up a contract for him to sign, and said, "When I'm busy in the future, I'll hire some temporary workers." He looked at the farmers in the distance and said, "Both men and women can do the work of picking fruits, and the wages are no less than yours." When Xia Yang said this, he looked up at the farmers who automatically lined up to sign the contract and said, "I forgot to say that in addition to the monthly wages, everyone will be given benefits during the New Year, including gifts and red envelopes." "Those who do well at the end of the year will be selected and rewarded, which is considered a year-end bonus. This is different from the New Year's welfare. It is another kind, and you need to recommend and evaluate it yourself." He said these words, with the intention of encouragement and bribery. After all, the stall he spread out was too big, and it was difficult to manage people who didn't work for him sincerely. It would make Xia Yang worry a lot. He had to select some people from them to train, so that he wouldn't have to do everything himself in the future and worry about everything. "Great!" Wang Dali was perceptive and naturally understood what Xia Yang meant. He flattered him, "Let's compete to see who is the most capable and can get the reward from the boss." "Yes, you all work hard." Liu Zhuangtou also said to the farmers, "We are all family members. It is clear who has done how much. This is the fairest way and everyone can strive for it." "Okay." The young man who signed the contract first immediately rolled up his sleeves and said to the men behind him, "Let's compete to see who is the most capable." After he finished speaking, he remembered something and hurriedly looked at Xia Yang again and asked, "Boss, I remember you said just now that you will recruit temporary workers in the future, young men and women are also fine, and the wages will be the same as ours, one or two taels of silver a month?" He asked carefully, looking at Xia Yang's focused and serious eyes, as if there was a flame of excitement jumping, nervous and excited, "Did I hear it right?" "Yes, that's right." Xia Yang nodded. He just finished speaking, but no one responded. He thought it was not popular for women and boys to work here. He didn't expect that they were too slow to respond, so he only remembered to ask at this time. "Second brother, mother, sister." The little man jumped up and ran happily to the crowd in the distance, shouting and waving: "The boss also wants you to work, and pays one tael of silver a month." "Ahem." Xia Yang saw the commotion in the distance, and was afraid that those people would rush over and surround him, so he hurriedly said to Wang Dali: "When there is work, you can arrange it. Let your village head arrange this matter." He hurriedly handed over the matter, picked up two contracts and said: "The contracts of the two village heads will be signed separately, and the wages will be different from others, two taels of silver a month." "Thank you, boss." Wang Dali immediately smiled so much that his mouth almost stretched behind his ears, and patted his chest and promised loudly: "Leave the things in the village to me and Lao Liu. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes." "I'm trusting you because I'm confident." Xia Yang said, "Brother Zhang, I said you're all trustworthy people. I'm also very compatible with you two. We'll cooperate for mutual benefit in the future." The first time Zhang Liu brought him here, he found Wang Dali and another village head Liu. Xia Yang had communicated with them and knew they were trustworthy. Xia Yang was busy signing the contract, so he left Liu Jingwen aside, which made him feel a little distressed. He also knew that his wishful thinking was not feasible. He hoped to take Liu Jingwen with him wherever he went, but he was too busy with the contract to take care of it, so how could he have someone follow him at all times! After more than an hour, Xia Yang signed all the contracts, and then stood up and went to the side to talk to Wang Dali and Liu Village Head, and asked the two to send the farmers away. He took the signed contract, walked back to Liu Jingwen and asked, "Are you anxious?" "No." Liu Jingwen shook his head and smiled, "It's quite lively. The people in the manor are warm and honest. We will be happy to move in and live here in the future." "Yes." Xia Yang said, "I have observed them carefully just now. They all have good character. I hope there will be no friction in the future and we can get along well." Xia Yang didn't dare to say anything about other people, but as for the 200 people who signed the contract, it can be said that there are no major problems with their character, which makes him feel more at ease.

"Let's go." Xia Yang looked at the time. It was almost the end of the Si hour. They just arrived in the town for lunch. "Let's go to the town for lunch."

"No, no, no." Wang Dali came over and tried to persuade him to stay: "Boss, we have prepared food to entertain you and Mr. Liu. You must finish eating before leaving."

Xia Yang should have stayed for this meal to build a good relationship with the two village heads, so that it would be easier to arrange for them to do things in the future. However, he changed his mind when he thought of Liu Jingwen.

So he refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang, but we have other things to do and can't delay."

Xia Yang bowed and said: "Next time I host, I will definitely drink with the two village heads and have a few drinks. I can only say sorry this time."

Wang Dali's eyelids jumped. He didn't dare to drink with Xia Yang, let alone drink with him? This is a little brother!

He looked at Xia Yang's left hand, laughed dryly, and then looked at Liu Jingwen, and said awkwardly: "Okay, okay, okay, next time I have a chance, I will drink a few cups with Liu Xiucai and the boss."

"Excuse me." Liu Jingwen heard Wang Dali's embarrassing words, shook his head and smiled, and continued: "Next time I will definitely bring my husband to bother you, today we will leave first." "Okay, okay." Wang Dali breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Jingwen did not take it as a surprise, and was polite to this rough man. He hurriedly said: "It's okay for Liu Xiucai to come. We will live in the same manor in the future, so there is no need to be so polite." Although Xia Yang is the owner of the manor, he gives people a sense of boldness and does not make people nervous. But Liu Jingwen is different. Even if he stands there with gentle eyebrows and politeness, Wang Dali feels different. He feels more pressured. Now he attributes it to Liu Jingwen being a scholar and the husband of their boss, and his status is higher than Xia Yang. But not long after, he realized that he was so wrong. This was their young master, and their status was far different. Xia Yang helped Liu Jingwen get into the car and prepared to leave the manor. The two of them had been in their own world, but they didn't expect to be blocked by others, and finally stayed here. But it made him full of joy. He picked up Liu Jingwen and spun around. He was so excited that he didn't know why. He felt that his life was illuminated and he had nothing to ask for. The author has something to say:

Chapter 77

"Huh?"

Xia Yang drove the ox cart to the village, and just as he said goodbye to Wang Dali and the others, he saw Zhang Liu riding a horse and galloping over, "Brother Zhang is here."

"Huh."

Zhang Liu pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "I arrived just in time."

"Brother Zhang, do you have something to talk to us about?" Xia Yang looked at him puzzledly, and said: "I wanted to look for you too."

"That's perfect." Zhang Liu smiled and said: "You don't have to look for me." "

Then go home and sit down." Wang Dali said from the side: "Lunch is ready, you can talk while you eat."

"Okay." Xia Yang bowed to Wang Dali and said: "Sorry to bother you, Village Head Wang."

"You're welcome." Wang Dali returned the greeting, led the way and took them back.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" Xia Yang got into the car and said, "You look so happy, there must be some happy news?"

At this moment, he thought wrongly, blinked his eyes, and teased, "It is said that people are in high spirits when they encounter happy events. Brother Zhang, is it a promotion, getting rich, or a wedding night?"

"Hahaha." Zhang Liu led the horse and followed beside him and laughed, "It is a happy event, but it has nothing to do with me. It is your happy event."

He glanced at Liu Jingwen who was sitting still, and smiled, "To be precise, it is Liu Xiucai's happy event."

"Oh?" Xia Yang became interested as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked, "What's the matter with Guan Xiaoxiucai?"

Before Zhang Liu could speak, Liu Jingwen said lightly, "Eyes."

"Uh." Xia Yang was confused, turned his head to look at Liu Jingwen, and asked, "Eyes? What's wrong with eyes?"

He reacted only after he finished speaking, and immediately frowned and slapped his forehead in annoyance, "I know."

"Liu Xiucai is really smart." Zhang Liu praised: "You can guess what he meant with just a short sentence!"

"Brother Zhang?" Xia Yang's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "Have you really found a doctor who can cure the little scholar's eyes?"

"Yes." Zhang Liu nodded and said: "My uncle helped to find a famous doctor, who has arrived in town today. I came to find you."

"Then let's." Xia Yang wanted to go there now, but then he thought that even if he didn't eat, he couldn't let the doctor eat, so he said: "Let's go after lunch."

He grabbed Liu Jingwen's hand and said happily: "Little scholar, you will definitely be able to cure your eyesight. Don't feel pressured, I'll accompany you."

"I know." Liu Jingwen's expression was a little hesitant, and after a moment he said: "I have something to tell you later, let's talk on the way to see the doctor."

"Okay." Xia Yang was happy, patted Liu Jingwen's hand and comforted him: "We can talk about it on the way later, no rush."

​​He was a little excited, and wanted to pick up Liu Jingwen and shout a few times to vent, laughing and sharing the joy of this moment with him.

Xia Yang wanted to treat Liu Jingwen's eyes for a long time, and he wanted to take action since he earned money. He

was just afraid that the doctor he found would not be good, which would disappoint Liu Jingwen again and again and affect the treatment, so he kept suppressing this matter and didn't mention it.

"Brother Zhang." Xia Yang was excited, his face was a little red, and with a bright smile, he sincerely thanked Zhang Liu: "I really trouble you and uncle."

"You're welcome, it's not a big deal." Zhang Liu looked at Liu Jingwen thoughtfully and said: "This is a famous doctor invited by the capital. He is also a noble person there. If you have anything, just tell me."

He didn't say this to Xia Yang, but to Liu Jingwen with a hint of meaning. Zhang Liu inferred from Liu Jingwen's momentary hesitation that there might be something unspeakable.

"Of course." Xia Yang's answer was irrelevant. He raised his eyebrows and said frankly: "Even if you are of noble status, you can't hide anything. We are seeking medical treatment, not seeking work. In order to get treatment, we must tell everything so that the doctor can know the cause of the disease and then diagnose and treat it." "

Little scholar." Xia Yang turned around and looked at Liu Jingwen and said: "If you have any symptoms, you must not hide them. It is necessary to tell the cause of the disease so that the doctor can treat it accordingly."

It's not something difficult to hide.

Xia Yang thought: In terms of hidden illness, it is a matter of men's dignity. Liu Jingwen has none of them. He is full of energy every night and doesn't need to hide anything.

"Don't worry." Liu Jingwen smiled lightly, his eyebrows relaxed, and said in a gentle voice: "Look, you seem to be more nervous than me."

When they were having dinner at Wang Dali's house, Xia Yang talked to Zhang Liu about building a house, hoping to start construction as soon as possible.

He and Liu Jingwen wanted to move in as soon as possible to avoid running back and forth in the future. His focus in the future will be shifted to the manor.

Zhang Liu hesitated for a moment and agreed readily: "Okay, I will bring people over tomorrow and let them start working first. It will just cost a little more manpower."

After eating, Xia Yang could no longer wait and arranged to see the doctor early. He was eager to know the result.

On the way, Xia Yang had forgotten that Liu Jingwen had something to say, and comforted him: "Don't worry, if one doctor is not good enough, we can see a few more doctors."

"There are many good doctors in the industry, and we can slowly find them." Xia Yang said: "The most important thing is that you have confidence."

"I am very confident." Seeing Xia Yang so nervous, Liu Jingwen raised his mouth corners and showed a happy smile, "My eyes are actually not a big problem."

He slowly said: "Originally, there was a chance to see a good result, but many people did not allow it. Considering many aspects, I gave up treatment."

Liu Jingwen frowned as if he remembered something unpleasant, but his expression was very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

"What?" Xia Yang was stunned and looked at Liu Jingwen and said, "Why do you refuse treatment? This is a lifelong thing?"

He was shocked and unbelievable. He reached out to touch Liu Jingwen's forehead to test the temperature of his head. "Are you talking nonsense? How can you treat yourself like this?"

Xia Yang was angry, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart. He held Liu Jingwen's hand and said, "Why are you doing this? Is it worth it to make yourself suffer so much?"

"I can't help it." Liu Jingwen reached out and touched Xia Yang's cheek. "Someone doesn't want me to get better. If I force treatment, I don't know what problems will arise."

Xia Yang was about to turn his head to avoid Liu Jingwen's hand. No matter what the reason, he shouldn't hurt himself like this and put himself in the dark.

But after hearing his explanation, Xia Yang's body stiffened, as if he understood something, and leaned forward to ask: "Someone is interfering? Who is it?"

"The Chen Bairun who secretly harmed you?" Xia Yang gritted his teeth and said: "He ran fast, otherwise I would make him look bad."

He had wanted to deal with this person for a long time, but unfortunately he had no chance, so he could only wait slowly. Xia Yang would never let this person go, and he was determined to do it at all costs.

"Yes." Liu Jingwen said: "He secretly found the doctor, and he was openly asking about the condition and expressing his concern, but in fact it was a hint and threat."

As Liu Jingwen narrated, Xia Yang learned that the town's doctor Liu was hinted by Chen Bairun that Liu Jingwen must not be allowed to recover, and he forcefully gave Doctor Liu two hundred taels of silver.

But Doctor Liu was a kind-hearted doctor, and he did not dare to provoke the Chen Mansion nor did he want to harm people against his conscience. He secretly told Liu Jingwen about this matter, reminded him to pay attention to Chen Bairun, and asked Liu Jingwen to find someone else.

"At that time, I could already see vaguely, but not very clearly." Liu Jingwen said, "But I couldn't continue the treatment."

He was afraid that if he cured his eyesight, Chen Bairun would secretly find other ways to harm him. He was even more afraid of implicating Doctor Liu and Liu's father.

There was also the possibility that the doctors he hired might not be reliable. If he met a greedy one, he might really resort to trickery to make Liu Jingwen unable to recover for the rest of his life.

So he symbolically sought treatment from several doctors, and after they gave him a few prescriptions, Liu Jingwen told his father that the doctors were not good enough, and firmly stated that he would not continue the treatment.

"Maybe it was because I didn't continue the treatment, I gradually lost my sight again." Liu Jingwen smiled bitterly, "It's been pitch black ever since."

"Don't be afraid." Xia Yang's eyes were full of anger, but he suppressed his anger and comforted him with heartache, "If we treat it now, it will definitely be cured."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen nodded, held Xia Yang's hand, and smiled, "The reason why I haven't seen a doctor is also because of my life experience."

He tilted his head slightly, as if he was also saying these words to Zhang Liu, "Who knows what will happen in the future? If they see that I'm blind, maybe they won't want me, and I don't have to think so much."

"You?" Xia Yang was speechless. He didn't know that Liu Jingwen would think so much. A small matter could make him go crazy.

"Brother Zhang should know." Liu Jingwen squeezed Xia Yang's hand soothingly, "It can be said that there are few clean places in the backyards of those powerful and wealthy families. If you want to live a quiet life, you must stay away from all these right and wrongs."

"No." Zhang Liu was absent-minded for a moment, and then said: "There is a clean place, don't worry, Liu Jingwen, you will be able to live a quiet life in the near future."

"Oh." Liu Jingwen nodded with a faint smile on his face, "I also want to thank Brother Zhang for taking care of us husband and wife all the time. I will keep it in mind."

"You're welcome." Zhang Liu's back tightened and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Liu Jingwen with fear in his eyes, "It's just a small effort."

Zhang Liu: This person is so scheming, I didn't even see it!

"Brother Zhang is polite." Xia Yang smiled and said, "Not only Brother Zhang, but also uncle's kindness, we will never forget it."

He wanted to say a few words to thank Zhang Liu, but was stopped by Liu Jingwen, "Remember, you asked me why I was so cold to the Liu family and kept my distance?"

"Why?" Xia Yang didn't understand, and said, "Isn't Liu not good to you? She tried every means to drive you out, so there is no need to consider any affection."

"She threw away a lot of my medicine." Liu Jingwen said, "I never used enough medicine. Later, I found that I didn't dare to drink it anymore, so I secretly poured it out."

Liu Jingwen once had to go to the toilet. Because he could see a little bit with blurry eyes, he didn't call anyone, and relied on his meager vision.

Leaning on a stick, he walked to the toilet based on his memory. When he came back and passed by the kitchen, he heard Liu Xiaomei exclaimed: Mother, why did you pour the third brother's medicine into the stove?

Liu's mother scolded: What nonsense are you talking about? I accidentally dropped some of it because of my shaking hands. It won't hurt to lose a little bit.

Liu Xiaomei: Doesn't that mean the efficacy of the medicine has decreased? When will the third brother's illness be cured? Liu's

mother: Just this time, it's okay, I'll be more careful next time.

But after a moment, Liu's mother said again: I'm afraid of problems. Didn't you see that I didn't let your two sisters-in-law boil the medicine? I watched it myself.

Liu Jingwen listened to the conversation between Liu's mother and Liu Xiaomei, and sneered: "She is so kind to boil medicine for me? Is she afraid that she can't do anything secretly?"

"This old woman." Xia Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only say thankfully: "Fortunately, she threw away part of it for you, instead of throwing away all the medicine, or replacing it with other messy things for you to drink."

"So!" Liu Jingwen sighed: "Do I dare to drink this medicine? She has already had the intention to harm me. I don't know what else will happen after this eye is cured. I might as well do as they wish and give me a chance to breathe."

"Where is your father? What did he say?" Xia Yang asked.

He was curious. Liu's father loved Liu Jingwen so much, how could he tolerate Liu's mother after knowing what she did?

"I didn't say it." Liu Jingwen said: "No accidents can happen at that time, otherwise my reputation will be in jeopardy. After all, I will be accused of being the culprit for the discord between my parents. Without this reputation, wouldn't it be more likely that others would bully me, even a child might not be afraid of my existence."

This is also the reason why Liu Jingwen is estranged from other people in the Liu family, because Liu Xiaomei did not tell Liu's father about this matter. She is not a child and will not understand why Liu's mother did that. He thought that even if other people, such as Liu Laoda and Liu Laoer, saw Liu's mother throwing medicine, they would choose to keep it secret. After all, Liu's father's temper and his love for Liu Jingwen knew what would happen to Liu's mother. After all, she is their biological mother, who has always loved them. It must be difficult to be caught in the middle, but it is also certain that they will not tell this matter. After all, there is a difference between close and distant. Liu Jingwen is not their biological brother. There is still a gap in many things. He will not tell Liu's father at the risk of Liu's mother being divorced. Just like this time selling vegetables, Liu's father thought it was unforgivable, so he insisted on divorcing her back to her mother's family. Everyone has a bottom line in their hearts that cannot be touched. "You must have a lot of things that you have kept from your father." Xia Yang said, "You feel guilty and think that it is because of you that your father and his wife are not on good terms. You always think that he can't divorce that woman because of you." "Yeah." Liu Jingwen smiled and said, "Why tell it out? It won't help, and it will embarrass my father. This is the only way I can repay him now." "Hey!" Xia Yang sighed. Liu Jingwen was indeed in a difficult situation. No matter what he did, he would be criticized. He could only choose to endure. He was an adopted child. The grace of raising him was greater than the grace of giving birth to him. In this era, no matter what the Liu family did, as long as they didn't kill Liu Jingwen, no one would think that Liu's mother was wrong. "However, we must not let Chen Bairun go." Xia Yang said, "When your eyes are better, I will arrange the things at the farm, and then we will go to the capital to find him." "Why do we look for him?" Liu Jingwen said with a smile, "There is no evidence to sue the officials, and there are no connections to make private arrangements. There is even the risk of implicating myself." He did not wait for Xia Yang to speak, as if he knew what Xia Yang was going to say, and said, "No one will testify, don't have any extravagant hopes." "This." Xia Yang did have the intention of asking Doctor Liu to testify, "But we can't just let it go like this, this account will be settled sooner or later." He also understood that the chance of testifying was slim, and thought that if he tried, he could sue Chen Bairun and make him face the law and ruin his reputation. But since Liu Jingwen was so sure, it meant that he knew that Doctor Liu would definitely not testify. Thinking about it, Xia Yang could understand why. Xia Yang could only sigh helplessly: "I won't give up. There is a lot of time and I will always find a way to find an opportunity." "No hurry." Liu Jingwen smiled. Unlike Xia Yang who was gritting his teeth in hatred, he was willing to comfort Xia Yang and said, "You will suffer for what you have done. Maybe he has now become disgraced and like a rat crossing the street. I don't know where he is hiding and dare not show his head." "Actually, it's better this way, so as not to dirty our hands." Liu Jingwen was calm and said confidently: "I guess we will know the news soon, so just wait patiently." "Really?" Xia Yang asked: "How do you know this will happen?" "Because someone wants to deal with him." Liu Jingwen seemed to have nothing to worry about at this time, so he didn't keep it a secret and smiled frankly: "Dad came back from the city and told me that Chen Bairun has climbed up a high branch in the city and married into a wealthy family." "How could this news not spread to the county? After all, he is still engaged to the daughter of the county magistrate's family. He is not like some other small families who are not well-informed." "Right." Xia Yang reacted immediately. "How can the county magistrate tolerate him? He must break off the engagement with Chen Bairun and make this matter public, so that everyone knows that he is a despicable villain."

"Have you heard the news from the county that Chen Bairun came back to cancel the engagement?" Liu Jingwen asked.

"No." Xia Yang said.

He has been paying attention to the news from the county, and has not heard anyone from the Chen family coming back, nor has he heard any news about canceling the engagement.

"You mean?" Xia Yang thought, "Sir, the county magistrate is chasing to the capital to deal with this matter, then Chen Bairun will be in even greater trouble?"

"Maybe." Liu Jingwen shrugged, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face, "I haven't heard the news here, it must be handled in the capital."

Zhang Liu was terrified when he heard it, and looked at Liu Jingwen with an inexplicable expression. He knew all these news and added fuel to the fire.

Chen Bairun was stripped of his fame and reputation, and he couldn't stay in the capital. Naturally, he didn't dare to come back here, and he had already run to other places to hide his identity.

But Liu Jingwen never left his house, but he knew clearly, and he could also calculate Chen Bairun's fate. This thought was hidden deep enough.

He thought of his own prince's character, decisive, strong, and even if he acted behind the scenes, he would not be so tolerant, and everything was done through the hands of others.

Zhang Liu was confused: Whose personality does Liu Jingwen resemble? There is the shadow of the prince, but he would rather suffer himself, but secretly plan everything, which has nothing to do with the prince.

He didn't know that Liu Jingwen was a combination of Prince Zhong and General Chu, with part of their personalities, and also something unique to him.

When Xia Yang and his friends arrived in the town, they found the famous doctor from the capital. When

Xia Yang saw the man, he immediately felt guilty, and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, thinking that no matter what the result, he would give more silver.

"Doctor, you have worked hard on the way." Xia Yang looked at the white-haired old doctor who was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by someone, and said, "Thank you for traveling so far."

He bowed and saluted, which made the old doctor laugh. "It's okay. I have diagnosed several cases of this disease and I am quite confident, so I have to come here."

Doctor Wang was over 70 years old. If it weren't for Prince Zhong's face, he would never come so far.

When he saw Liu Jingwen just now, he understood why Prince Zhong insisted on inviting him to come, and would rather wait from last winter to this spring.

This cannot be missed.

So he didn't waste time, and looked at the patient first before talking about other things. He said to Xia Yang, "I'll take the pulse first, and we'll talk about other things later."

"Okay." Xia Yang said quickly.

He put Liu Jingwen's wrist on the pulse pillow and said, "Thank you, Doctor Wang."

Sure enough, the pulse diagnosis result was the same as Liu Jingwen said. Doctor Wang swept away the solemnity when he diagnosed the pulse and asked with doubts, "The initial symptoms are just caused by blood congestion in the head. As long as the blood congestion is dispersed and dissolved, how can there be no effect?"

This is a very small symptom for him. If it were in normal times, he would not need to do anything at all. Doctor Wang didn't understand what was going on.

He looked at Zhang Liu and saw that he lowered his head and said nothing. He felt a lump in his heart: Forget it! It seems that the reason is not something he can know, so he should treat the disease.

Doctor Wang has been practicing medicine for many years. What kind of people and what strange things have he not seen? He knows that some things cannot be explored.

He looked at Liu Jingwen's appearance and ordered someone to take the needle without hesitation. He only needed to cure the person according to Prince Zhong's instructions to complete his mission.

At this time, Liu Jingwen chuckled, "I can't easily trust others' diagnosis and treatment, but I don't have to worry about it with the old doctor."

Doctor Wang was stunned: "..."

Zhang Liu's face was burning: "..."

His little prince was living outside, being oppressed and harmed like this, he was too ashamed to say it!

Only Xia Yang was unaware of the hidden meaning here. Hearing what Doctor Wang said, he thanked him again and again.

He excitedly pressed Liu Jingwen's shoulder and said incoherently: "It will be fine soon, and you will be able to see soon."

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen took Xia Yang's hand and smiled: "You will be able to see Brother Yang soon."

He was also excited at this time. Other things didn't matter to Liu Jingwen, but he was very concerned about Xia Yang.

...

Half a month later, Liu Jingwen finally saw the light of day.

Doctor Wang finished acupuncture for the last time and said with a smile: "The blood stasis that was dispersed has re-coagulated and has become a stubborn disease. Now it has been completely cleared. Just take a few more doses of medicine and you will have no worries."

Xia Yang asked hurriedly: "How long will it take before you can see?"

After waiting anxiously for half a month, Xia Yang was looking forward to Liu Jingwen being able to see every day. When he was the first to appear in front of him, the image in his eyes was himself.

"It can be done now." Doctor Wang smiled and said: "Liu Xiucai,

open your eyes slowly. Don't be too anxious. Try to see if you can see clearly." Liu Jingwen first opened his eyes a little bit, slowly, and after his eyes adapted to the light, he continued to slowly open them completely. What

came into view was a brilliant smile, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. A handsome and energetic young man was looking at him with joy.

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen habitually reached out his hand and stroked Xia Yang's cheek. It was a familiar touch. He was surprised and said, "I finally see you!"

His eyes were sore and a little hot, and his nose was sore and he almost cried. Although he knew that his eyes could be cured, he didn't know when it would be.

Liu Jingwen thought that he would have to wait a long time before he could find an opportunity to be cured and see everything familiar again.

His eyes were gentle and full of affection. He said in a warm voice, "Brother Yang, he is indeed handsome and tough. He is a good man."

Liu Jingwen couldn't bear to look away, and always fell on Xia Yang's face, up and down, left and right, and couldn't see enough.

His hands were always on Xia Yang's face, and he was reluctant to let go. Xia Yang stood still and let him look at him and stroke him, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

Zhang Liu saw that they were emotional, and he winked at Doctor Wang and others, and all left the room and closed the door, so that the two could have a quiet environment.

"Little scholar." Xia Yang heard the door close and couldn't help hugging him into his arms, shouting excitedly: "You can see, you can see me."

Xia Yang choked a little. He didn't miss the joy in Liu Jingwen's eyes when he saw him, without any other expression.

He was worried for a moment that Liu Jingwen didn't like his manly appearance, which would make Xia Yang very sad.

Even if Liu Jingwen just treated him calmly, he felt that he couldn't stand it. At this moment, Xia Yang was relieved.

After all, since ancient times, face control has been everywhere.

Xia Yang hugged Liu Jingwen tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and said happily: "Little scholar, it's great, I'm so happy!"

"Yeah." Liu Jingwen let him hug him, and opened his arms around Xia Yang, and smiled: "Brother Yang, I will take care of you and protect you in the future."

"No need." Xia Yang just raised his head and wanted to speak, but Liu Jingwen caught the opportunity and lowered his head to hold his lips.

Xia Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, hooked his hands around Liu Jingwen's neck, and took the initiative to push his lips forward, cooperating with Liu Jingwen to kiss him as much as he wanted.

He knew that Liu Jingwen must be very excited now, so he did not take the initiative as usual, but obediently let him kiss him, even when his lips were bitten and hurt, he did not refuse.

For the first time, he behaved like a little brother, and gently let his man love him to his heart's content.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 78

"Hmm."

Xia Yang opened his eyes in a daze, raised his hands and prepared to stretch, but he put his hands down because he felt sore all over just halfway.

"Tsk."

Xia Yang shook his head helplessly. Liu Jingwen used to be sticky every night, and now that his eyes are better, he is even more unscrupulous.

He was happy and helpless. Because Liu Jingwen was so obsessed, Xia Yang went to the farm a lot later every day.

Xia Yang stretched his sore body, got up and started to put on his clothes, looking at the sunlight coming in from the window. He couldn't go to the farm today.

"Awake?"

Liu Jingwen pushed open the door and saw Xia Yang putting on his clothes. "Sleep a little longer, and don't go to the farm today."

"As you wish?" Xia Yang glanced at him and scolded him: "Isn't it good to stay at home and write your storybook? Why do you have to go to the farm?"

He knew that Liu Jingwen wanted to help him, but farming was not an easy thing, and Xia Yang would never agree.

So Liu Jingwen pestered him every night, so that Xia Yang could never get up on time the next day.

"I wasn't going to the village today." Liu Jingwen looked innocent, as if he didn't understand what Xia Yang meant. "Aren't you going to treat the villagers to a banquet to celebrate my recovery of my eyesight?"

"Ah?" Xia Yang suddenly remembered this. It turned out that he had wronged him.

"Hehe!" He giggled a few times, looked at Liu Jingwen a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I was self-indulgent and wronged you."

"Really?" Liu Jingwen raised his hand to help Xia Yang tie his belt, and then hooked his belt with his hand, winking at Xia Yang, "Then how are you going to compensate?"

"Uh." Xia Yang's eyes widened: This is too shameless? The ability to climb up the pole is really beyond the reach of others!

"I haven't washed yet." Seeing Liu Jingwen getting closer and closer, his face gradually enlarged in front of him, Xia Yang hurriedly pushed him away, "You don't dislike it either."

"What do you dislike?" Liu Jingwen was pushed back by Xia Yang, and looked at his back as he hurriedly left, and smiled: "Drool?" "

Ouch!" Xia Yang staggered and was almost knocked down by the door.

He turned around and kicked the door angrily. This Liu Jingwen was getting more and more relaxed. He had been controlled by him for the past few days.

"Hahaha." Liu Jingwen laughed.

"Humph." Xia Yang rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist to Liu Jingwen in protest, "Little scholar, do you want to be beaten?"

"No, no, no." Liu Jingwen waved his hands quickly, and seeing Xia Yang staring at him angrily, he smiled: "It's just a joke, don't be angry, brother Yang." "You know what's good for you." Xia Yang didn't argue with him, and left after threatening, "If you don't behave in the future, I'll show you how I can deal with you." Liu Jingwen smiled and shook his head: How can I deal with

you ?

At worst, he'll just give in and beg for mercy. He's too soft-hearted to really beat him up.

...

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu."

Not long after Xia Yang and Mr. Liu went out, they met many villagers, who congratulated them one after another .

"Thank you, thank you." Liu Jingwen responded indifferently.

Xia Yang walked aside without saying much. Now, everyone in the village was as anxious as if their butts were on fire, and he didn't want to get close to them at this time.

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen saw that he was silent and didn't speak when there were people around, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"The vegetables they planted can be picked soon." Xia Yang said.

"Oh." Liu Jingwen understood, "Have they looked for you?"

"No." Xia Yang was depressed because of this.

If these people were shameless and came to him, Xia Yang would directly refuse the matter, but even if the villagers were worried and anxious, they never looked for him once.

"Are you worried about them?" Liu Jingwen asked.

"No." Xia Yang said.

Liu Jingwen walked slowly into the village. Seeing Xia Yang's irritable look, he frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "You can't bear it. They can't make much money from the vegetables this season?"

"It's expected." Xia Yang said, "Even if the village chief and others take countermeasures and sell the vegetables together, it is undeniable that they can't negotiate too high a price."

"And the town and the county can't sell so many vegetables." Liu Jingwen continued, "They will have to go to the market soon, so the price will inevitably fall lower and lower."

"If they can't sell them, just lower them." Xia Yang said, "No one wants the vegetables to rot in the fields. The weather is now suitable for growing small green vegetables. Even if the price is cheaper, most people will not take money out of their pockets just to eat this bite."

"It's just earning less." Liu Jingwen patted Xia Yang on the shoulder and comforted him, "This is originally to make money from the rich. It's actually a good thing that they can't find a way."

Liu Jingwen said, "If you help them, maybe some greedy villagers will plant one more greenhouse this winter, so the output of vegetables will be more. Can you always help them?"

"No." Xia Yang shook his head.

He had no intention of earning money from these villagers. He collected their vegetables to make money for himself and to help them. It was just a thankless task.

Xia Yang would not be stupid enough to keep doing it.

"Look at the situation in the village." Liu Jingwen continued, "Their relatives and friends have been coming frequently recently, and their intentions are obvious. There must be someone who can't stand the pressure of family affection and will teach them to grow vegetables."

"I know." Xia Yang understood what Liu Jingwen meant and smiled, "It's just that I can't bear them to be tired, but they can't earn much."

He was born a farmer and knew the hard work of farming. He had a little bit of pity for the villagers, but asked Xia Yang to continue to collect their vegetables.

This was absolutely impossible.

"Little scholar." Xia Yang stretched out his arm, hugged Liu Jingwen's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Are you so open-minded that you don't worry about these villagers?"

"Don't just look at the present." Liu Jingwen was hugged by him, and his body leaned towards Xia Yang. He blew into Xia Yang's ear, "Look at the long run, I am not their parents, I can't think about them in everything."

"Hey!" Xia Yang's ears were itchy, and he quickly let go of his hand, rubbed his ears and said: "Itchy, do you know?"

"Hehe." Liu Jingwen chuckled, a cunning flashed in his eyes, he put his face in front of Xia Yang, tilted his head slightly and blinked at him, "Or, you blow it back?" "

Okay." Xia Yang stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Jingwen's ear, and laughed, "Hahaha": "You used to pull my ears, today I will pull you in front of your father and let him see how rogue you are."

"Even if you lift me up to the sky," Liu Jingwen said with a smile, "no one will say I'm a rogue."

He didn't struggle, but kept his head down, letting Xia Yang hold him by the ears, cooperating, and asked, "Is it okay to hold me like this? Are you tired? Do you want me to hold you lower?"

"Ah." Xia Yang looked at Liu Jingwen in a blue shirt, with a delicate face like a painting, and said unwillingly, "Are you using beauty to commit crimes?"

He reluctantly let go of his hand and looked at his cotton shorts, which were neat and tidy but not beautiful, and only gave people a feeling of strength.

"Am I really a little rough?" Xia Yang touched his chin and looked at Liu Jingwen suspiciously, "Is it because of you?"

He felt handsome, but when he stood next to Liu Jingwen, he always lacked confidence, as if something was missing?

"This is what a man should be like." Liu Jingwen said with a smile: "I like your appearance, not rough, but manly."

He was not lying. Others said that Xia Yang was this or that, but Liu Jingwen did not think so. Instead, he appreciated and liked Xia Yang who was rough, which best reflected the manliness of a man.

The two chatted and laughed and came to the old house of the Liu family. Before they entered the yard, they heard that there were many people inside, and it was as lively as the New Year.

Xia Yang: "Are you here so early? It's not time to have a banquet yet."

"Maybe they are here to help." Liu Jingwen said: "The neighbors in the village have always been like this."

Xia Yang pushed open the half-open door and saw more than a dozen women in the yard. They were all familiar people in the village. They all rolled up their sleeves and worked.

"Oh!" Aunt Li, who was the most familiar with him, saw Xia Yang and the other two people coming in and said with a smile: "Our scholar and his wife are here."

"Hahaha." The people in the yard laughed together, and congratulated sincerely with their eyes: "Congratulations to the scholar on his recovery."

"Thank you." Liu Jingwen smiled slightly, bowed to everyone and said: "Thank you all for your hard work today, aunts, wives and sisters-in-law."

"What's hard about it? It's just a small job, it's not a big deal."

"We farmers are used to working, and we can't stay idle if we have nothing to do."

Xia Yang also smiled and said: "At the banquet today, we have to toast you a glass to express our gratitude. Everyone can't not drink."

"Don't worry, we will all drink."

"Yes, let's drink a few more glasses to share in the joy of the scholar and his wife."

"Here we are." At this time, Father Liu came out of the house and saw Liu Jingwen and Xia Yang, and smiled: "Go sit over there."

Father Liu pointed to several tables in the yard, "Your elder brother and the others are all ready, there is nothing for you to do."

He was the happiest today, and his thin face was full of smiles. What made Father Liu feel most guilty was Liu Jingwen's eye problem, which was also his biggest worry.

Now that he was cured, his worries were swept away, and he felt that he had done his best for the general, and for Liu Jingwen and his love for him.

"Dad." Liu Jingwen held his father's arm and said

with a smile: "You sit down too, let's talk together." "Okay." Liu's father sat down, his eyes full of joy fell on Liu Jingwen, and he said with great relief: "You have grown up so much, and you have married a husband, time flies!"

"Yes." Liu Jingwen picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Liu's father, and said with a smile: "I was still in my father's arms before, and I grew up unknowingly."

The father and son sighed a little, lamenting that time has passed and never returned, and thinking about the past is a different state of mind.

The days of being together day and night made them nostalgic, and their eyes were full of nostalgia and sighs.

Xia Yang looked at the two of them, without saying a word, but just sitting quietly. From now on, the person standing beside Liu Jingwen and accompanying him has been replaced by himself.

No one else will be able to stay here with Liu Jingwen, and only Xia Yang can accompany him to the end.

"Brother Yang." Wang Zhao and Zhang Liu came in, congratulated him and Liu Jingwen, and congratulated Liu Jingwen on his recovery.

"Come, sit down." Xia Yang invited the two to sit down, and said to Wang Zhao: "It's been a long time since we last met. Are you all right?"

"Not bad." Wang Zhao smiled and said: "No trouble, the strawberries I planted are growing well, and after selling them, it's time to plant the land. There is something to do all year round."

He is living a good life now. His stepmother and others don't bother him. With the help of Xia Yang, Wang Zhao earns a lot of money, and he is becoming more and more confident.

"That's good." Xia Yang smiled and said: "We will move to the farm in a while. It's not easy for us to meet each other because we are far away. Let's get together today."

"Okay." Wang Zhao picked up the things he brought and winked mischievously, "Guess what I brought you?"

"What?" Xia Yang looked at him in confusion. Wang Zhao was holding a small jar in his hand, and he couldn't see what was in it at all.

"Did you forget?" Wang Zhao said, "What did you say you wanted to eat?"

He looked at Zhang Liu beside him in a mysterious way, and smiled, "I've always remembered it, and I asked Brother Zhang to ask someone to help me bring it back from a faraway place."

Wang Zhao pushed the jar in front of Xia Yang, "Take a look, you'll definitely like it."

"Shrimp paste?" Xia Yang opened the jar and looked inside, a salty smell hit his nose, "It's so good."

He remembered that he had told Wang Zhao that he wanted to eat shrimp paste, "Wang Zhao, thank you so much, and Brother Zhang, thank you too..."

"Ugh." Xia Yang didn't finish his words, and suddenly he felt nauseous and couldn't stop, "Ugh, ugh."

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhao asked hurriedly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Why do you feel nauseous and want to vomit?"

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen stood up and turned behind Xia Yang to pat him on the back.

"Ugh, ugh." Xia Yang felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He didn't have time to say anything, so he waved to Liu Jingwen and the others, and got up and rushed to the backyard.

"Slow down." Liu Jingwen hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Yang, don't hold it in, just vomit."

"Ugh, ugh ugh." Xia Yang vomited so hard that he was dizzy and vomited out all the bitterness, but he still felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen patted his back and stroked his chest, his face changed in anxiety, "What's wrong with you? I'll take you to see a doctor."

"No, no need." Xia Yang was weak and panting, saying, "It's better now, no need to see a doctor."

His face was pale, just after vomiting, his whole body felt soft, as if he had a serious illness, he couldn't even stand steadily, and his legs felt a little dizzy.

"I'll carry you back." Liu Jingwen looked worried, bent down and picked up Xia Yang sideways, "We must ask a doctor to come and see, how could he suddenly become like this when he was fine?"

"I, I'll go." Wang Zhao's heart was beating "bang bang bang", not knowing if there was something wrong with the shrimp paste he brought, and ran away, saying, "You wait."

"I'll take you there on horseback." Zhang Liu hurriedly chased after him.

"No need." Xia Yang was held by Liu Jingwen, his face was hot, and he refused: "I'm fine, I'm really fine..."

"Ugh, ugh." He retched twice in a row, quickly covered his mouth, and dared not speak again.

"Don't be stubborn." Liu Jingwen walked towards the house without stopping, "If you feel uncomfortable, you should see a doctor. I'm worried even if you don't worry."

His face was solemn. Liu Jingwen knew how good Xia Yang's health was. He suddenly became like this. He seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in a mess.

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen put him in Father Liu's room and brought water for him to rinse his mouth. "Rinse your mouth. I'll pour you some hot water to drink. Press down."

"What's wrong with Brother Yang?" Father Liu followed in. Seeing that Xia Yang looked bad, he turned and walked out. "I'll go find a doctor first. If that doesn't work, we'll go to the town."

"Someone has already gone." Liu Jingwen said, "Dad, please help me harness the car. The doctors in the village are average. I'd better take Brother Yang to the town clinic."

"Okay, I'll go now." Father Liu hurried out.

"Huh." Xia Yang rinsed out the bitterness in his mouth and felt a little better. He held Liu Jingwen's hand and comforted him, "I'm much better. Don't worry."

"How do you feel? Are you still nauseous?" Liu Jingwen looked worried and held Xia Yang's hand tightly. "You should rest and recover some strength first. We'll go to the town clinic later."

As they were talking, Zhang Liu invited the doctor back in advance. The old doctor came in with a medicine box on his back and saw Xia Yang lying there.

He paused, looked at Xia Yang suspiciously, and asked, "Did Mr. Liu vomit?"

"Doctor, please take a look." Liu Jingwen quickly stood up and made way, "Brother Yang suddenly felt sick and vomited violently. You can see his face is pale."

"Oh." The old doctor blinked, and seeing that Liu Jingwen was very anxious, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "Let me take his pulse."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe lightly, holding their breath and watching the old doctor take his pulse. Liu Jingwen was even more worried, and his eyes fell on Xia Yang's face and dared not move.

"I'm fine." Xia Yang saw his worried look, and couldn't help but smile, "You see, I'm fine now, and I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

He really felt a lot more comfortable now, without the feeling of nausea and vomiting, and his whole body became relaxed, as if the discomfort just now had never existed.

"Congratulations!" The old doctor took back his hand from taking the pulse, his face full of smiles, "Mrs. Liu's pulse is good. She has been pregnant for more than two months. Both she and the fetus are doing well. You don't have to worry."

"Hahaha." Liu's father came back and heard these words. He laughed and said, "Double happiness, double happiness!"

"Yang'er, you are a hero." Liu's father praised Xia Yang, then pulled the old doctor, "Let's go outside for a few drinks and celebrate."

Xia Yang had a dazed look on his face. He stood there in a daze, his head buzzing, and all he could hear in his ears were the words "pregnant".

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen held Xia Yang's hand, carefully looked at his face, blinked his eyes, and suddenly said in surprise: "You finally got what you wanted!"

"Congratulations." Liu Jingwen was excited, holding Xia Yang's hand and shaking it, his peach blossom eyes full of affection, "Haven't you always wanted a child who looks like me? Now it's finally here, it's great."

Liu Jingwen smiled and narrowed his eyes, his eyes were gentle and lingering, as if he couldn't control his emotions, and kept shaking Xia Yang's hand.

"Brother Yang." Liu Jingwen smiled and said: "I'm so happy! Are you happy? The child you wanted is finally here."

"Uh." Xia Yang was shaken by Liu Jingwen and woke up from his daze. Looking at Liu Jingwen's happy smile, he replied awkwardly: "Happy, happy."

The author has something to say:

Chapter 79

The first ray of morning light just shone into the room through the window.

Xia Yang secretly opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Jingwen who was sleeping beside him, and smiled silently.

Liu Jingwen was sleeping upright, lying flat on his back with his hands on his abdomen, breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.

This was the position Xia Yang had arranged for him in the middle of the night. Liu Jingwen used to sleep like this, but only after the two of them consummated their marriage would he put his arm around his shoulders before going to bed.

In the past few days, Xia Yang had used this method to get rid of Liu Jingwen several times, allowing him to sneak up and slip away smoothly.

Today he used the same trick again, quietly lifted a corner of the quilt, and just as he was about to sit up, he was frightened by Liu Jingwen and lay back down.

"Are you going to slip away again?" Liu Jingwen didn't even open his eyes, "Have you gotten used to walking these days?"

"Uh." Xia Yang lay there stiffly, not speaking for a long time, ready to pretend to be dead and didn't hear what Liu Jingwen said.

"Hmph." Liu Jingwen opened his eyes, turned sideways and smiled: "It turns out that Brother Yang is not awake, I was dreaming."

"A-choo." Xia Yang suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose and took away a few strands of Liu Jingwen's hair, "Itchy."

"You know it's itchy?" Liu Jingwen held a few strands of hair in one hand and circled the hair ends around Xia Yang's nose back and forth, "I thought you wouldn't feel itchy when you were asleep."

His eyes were full of smiles. He had let Xia Yang sneak away several times, but this couldn't go on forever. Was she going to disappear after she got pregnant?

"If it doesn't hurt your body." Liu Jingwen said, "I will definitely not let you have this child."

"Huh?" Xia Yang was surprised, turned his head and looked at Liu Jingwen, and saw that he looked serious, "Why do you say that? How can I not have a child?"

"If you don't like it, don't have it." Liu Jingwen said firmly, "But it will hurt your body, so I can't please him."

"No." Xia Yang was silent for a long time, and said, "I want a child, but I don't like others to see me with a big belly."

He knew that his behavior in the past few days made Liu Jingwen guess what he was thinking, so Xia Yang did not hide it and said directly, "I feel embarrassed

with a big belly." Since knowing that she was pregnant, Xia Yang thought of those pregnant guys she saw, who were obviously men, but walked around with a big belly.

Xia Yang thought that he would also look like that, and his face was hot and he felt uncomfortable all over. He extremely refused to appear in front of everyone in this posture.

He also didn't want anyone to congratulate him on this.

So he went out early and came back late every day, avoiding the people in the village. As long as he left Liujia Village, Xia Yang would breathe a sigh of relief. The people in the farm didn't know about this.

They wouldn't stare at his belly, and Xia Yang wouldn't feel awkward.

"You can't see it now." Liu Jingwen said, "When you can see it, you stay at home. Leave anything you need to do to me."

"Alas!" Xia Yang wiped his face and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing to do now. The fruit tree seedlings that were transported have been planted. The fruit seedlings in the small farm have just been cultivated, and it's not time to transplant them yet."

He thought carefully, he really didn't have anything too busy in the future, so it would be convenient to be pregnant at this time, and when the fruit trees grow up and bear fruit.

Maybe the little guy in the belly can run around happily?

"Hehe." Thinking of this, Xia Yang suddenly laughed: "Don't mention it, he came at the right time."

He said to Liu Jingwen: "Look, the little guy came just after the fruit tree seedlings were planted. It will take two or three years for the fruit trees to grow up, so it won't delay taking care of him at all."

Xia Yang became more and more excited, "There is not much to do in the small farm. Although they grow watermelons, strawberries and grapes, there are special people to take care of them. I just need to teach them this year, and I don't have to worry about anything in the future."

"You concentrate on reading and writing storybooks, and I will take care of the little guy." Xia Yang said: "You don't have to worry about anything inside and outside, little scholar, you are really lucky." Xia

Yang raised his eyebrows proudly. This family modestly said that he was carrying 800 kilograms, but in fact, he carried 1,000 kilograms.

He is the pillar of the family, and Liu Jingwen is enjoying his own blessings and doesn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Jingwen's mouth twitched, and he said: "I have always enjoyed the blessing of Brother Yang, and in the future, my father and I will also rely on you."

He saw Xia Yang's proud look and did not hit him. After all, Xia Yang really did it. He didn't need to take the lead in everything and reached the current level with his own strength.

But!

Liu Jingwen thought about it and smiled: "I can't let you work so hard. I have to help a little. Why don't you let me take care of the child in the future and not disturb you from doing your work."

Liu Jingwen: I really don't dare to bet on what kind of children such a husband can bring up!

"No, no." Xia Yang turned over and sat up, waving his hand and said, "The child is easy to take care of, don't bother you, I will take good care of him and will never let him do anything naughty."

"Slow down." Liu Jingwen grabbed Xia Yang's arm in fear, "You can't be too hard now, do things slowly."

"It's okay." Xia Yang said indifferently, "Look, I've been busy taking you to treat your eyes, managing the farm, and teaching them to grow fruit trees. Nothing happened."

Xia Yang said, "Pa pa" patting his belly with his hand, and smiled at Liu Jingwen, "Look, it's strong and staying in the belly, not so delicate."

"You'd better not touch him." Liu Jingwen's eyes twitched, and then he stood up and said, "You are too strong, don't hurt him."

"I'll go cook, you sleep for a while." Liu Jingwen said as he quickly put on his clothes, "The doctor said you must pay attention in the first three months. The baby is very fragile at this time, you have to take care of yourself."

"Really?" Xia Yang looked at his stomach and contracted his abdomen a few times. He didn't feel anything unusual. "It's okay, don't worry."

"Okay." Liu Jingwen felt a headache when he saw his movements. He pulled Xia Yang and comforted him in a gentle voice: "You should listen to the doctor. Let's pay more attention. If there is any accident, you will suffer and the child will suffer."

Xia Yang was rough, Liu Jingwen knew it, so he patiently persuaded him. No matter which one had a problem, it was not what he wanted to see.

"Okay." Seeing that he was anxious and worried about the child and himself, Xia Yang agreed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the little guy. You don't have to worry about these things. Go and do your own thing."

"I'll go cook." Xia Yang didn't allow Liu Jingwen to object, and pushed him to wash up. Then he let Liu Jingwen go into the study and cook by himself.

"Ugh." Xia Yang had just put the vegetables into the pot, and he felt nauseous when he smelled the oil smoke. He quickly covered his mouth, "Ugh, ugh."

The smell of oil smoke kept rushing into his nose, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit. A few drops of physiological tears quickly gathered in the corners of his eyes. Xia Yang, who was uncomfortable, almost threw away the spatula.

"Give it to me, give it to me." Liu Jingwen rushed into the kitchen, grabbed Xia Yang and sent him out of the kitchen, "Drink some water to suppress your appetite, I'll cook the vegetables."

"Huh." Xia Yang took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air in the morning, and felt more comfortable in his stomach, "Go check on the vegetables, don't let them get burnt."

Thinking of the smell of oil smoke just now, Xia Yang really wanted to die. Not only was it too smelly, but he felt weak all over after a few "vomits".

This taste is too uncomfortable, and I don't know when it will get better?

He looked at his stomach, thought of the ten months of pregnancy, covered his forehead and sighed: "This is a worry-free person. Whose child is so restless? Will you not eat in the future?"

"It's always like this at this time." After checking the dishes, Liu Jingwen handed him a bowl of water, "The doctor said, it will be fine in just a few days, and after three months, it will be fine."

"Oh." Xia Yang took a few sips of water, thinking about the old doctor's words, "It's almost time, he can't be quiet in just a few days, he has to be like other people's children."

"It's all the same." Liu Jingwen held back his laughter, not daring to say anything else, and pushed Xia Yang in to rest, "You just rest for a few days, I'll cook during this time, you should also rest for a while, enjoy my blessing and let me do some work."

"Huh?" Xia Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Jingwen for a while, without refusing, but asked with a smile in his eyes: "Can you cook?"

"Try it." Liu Jingwen did not explain, but rolled up his sleeves and said: "If you can't, you still have your master, you can teach me when the time comes."

"Forget it." Xia Yang didn't want him to go into the kitchen. The smell of oil smoke was not suitable for Liu Jingwen. "I'll go."

He raised his leg and was about to go to the kitchen. "I'm fine now. He can't always make trouble."

Liu Jingwen stepped forward to stop him but failed. He followed him into the kitchen. As soon as Xia Yang entered, he felt nauseous as if he was afraid of the kitchen. Liu

Jingwen saw that he was about to vomit again, and hurriedly pinched Xia Yang's nose. "You should go out quickly. This child loves you and doesn't want you to cook."

He pushed Xia Yang out, and in order to increase the persuasiveness, he also said: "The child is on your side in your belly. It must be because I am lazy and want to cook."

"How could it be?" Xia Yang heard Liu Jingwen's words and knew that he said it on purpose, but he was still happy in his heart, "It must be that he doesn't like the smell of oil smoke and is a lazy child who doesn't want to move too much." It

really happened as Xia Yang said. In the future, as long as he works, the child will be restless in his belly, making so much noise that he can't do anything.

Of course, this is all later.

"Okay." Xia Yang ate the food Liu Jingwen made himself, and he didn't expect it to taste good. He looked at him in surprise and asked, "How do you cook?"

In Xia Yang's impression, the men here never cook, not to mention that Liu Jingwen is a scholar and is loved by Liu's father.

"Do it yourself to have enough food and clothing." Liu Jingwen said.

He could say that he was scared by Liu's mother. None of the food sent to him was delicious, especially the salty ones. Liu Jingwen didn't dare to eat them, so he could only find a way to learn to cook.

"Liu mother." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Yang immediately understood what was going on and sighed, "You have suffered a lot."

"I should thank her." Liu Jingwen smiled and said, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have learned to cook, and I wouldn't be able to cook for Yang Ge'er."

Xia Yang looked at him and his ears felt a little hot for some reason. Liu Jingwen would say this several times a day, almost without repeating himself.

He sighed in his heart: I miss the gentle and serious little scholar in the past, who was so innocent that people didn't dare to get close to him. Liu Jingwen, who flirted with people every day, is really unbearable.

"I'll go wash the dishes." After finishing his meal, Xia Yang was walking out with the bowl in his hand, but Liu Jingwen snatched it away from him. "If the child doesn't let you into the kitchen, don't go. I'll cook for you from now on, so he won't bother you."

"I think he deserves a beating." Xia Yang patted his stomach lightly and taught him a lesson: "If you don't listen, wait until you get out, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Liu Jingwen looked at him with a smile and said nothing. If he could really beat him well, he wouldn't have to worry about it and could just let him teach him a lesson.

"I'll go to the greenhouse to check." Seeing that he was fine, Xia Yang said, "The watermelons are about to ripen. I'll pick them and sell them in a few days. I'll see if I should plant them for another season."

"Wait for me." Liu Jingwen said, "I'll learn from you. When we transplant the watermelons on the farm, you won't have to worry about it."

"You're not needed." Xia Yang turned and walked out. Fearing that Liu Jingwen would follow him, he turned back and reminded him, "Those are old tricks. They will know how to do it as soon as I tell them. Besides, there are Ershu and Sanshu."

"Go and do your own thing." Xia Yang waved his hand and left. Fearing that Liu Jingwen would catch up, he took big steps. "I'll be back in a while."

He couldn't stand Liu Jingwen's eyes following him all the time, and most importantly, he always looked at his belly to remind him that he was pregnant.

"Brother Yang, congratulations."

"Mr. Liu, it's great news. You have a child so soon."

"Double happiness, it must be a big fat boy."

As soon as Xia Yang went out, he met a few villagers. They looked at Xia Yang and began to congratulate him.

His expression froze, and he laughed dryly a few times and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"I have something else to do, so I'll go first." Xia Yang didn't want to talk to them. Seeing that they seemed to stop on purpose, he hurriedly said, "Let's talk again when we have time later."

He hurried, almost jogging, and walked towards his greenhouse, but met Ershu again.

As soon as he saw Xia Yang, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Yang Ge'er, you will soon have a child in your arms and tease him, and enjoy the father-son family life."

"I don't know if he will be angry or not." Xia Yang said unhappily, "It is said that children are here to collect debts, and he may be angry with me."

This morning, he was so upset, and he didn't know what would happen in the future?

"How could it be?" Ershu shook his head in surprise, "It's impossible, my son is very well-behaved, and he wants me to hold him every day when he sees me. He is very likable." "Isn't it?"

Xia Yang thought of the children he had seen in the past, who were all well-behaved in the arms of adults, and would tease him a few times every time they saw him.

"Ah!" Xia Yang stroked and touched his abdomen. His child must be a well-behaved and cute child. "I really hope he comes out earlier."

"You want to play with it now?" Ershu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. You can ask the doctor when it will be born."

"No need to ask." Xia Yang can calculate it himself. The child should be born in September. "I know when it will be born."

He didn't know that at this time, his face was soft and his eyes were full of love. He looked expectant.

"Yang brother, wait a minute." Xia Yang was about to tell Ershu about selling watermelons in a few days when he heard someone calling him.

He turned around and saw a little boy running towards him in a hurry. He waved to him to stop. Xia Yang raised his legs to meet him.

He asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to see me for? Why are you so anxious?"

This little boy was one of the village guards. Xia Yang was puzzled: Why did he come to him?

"Go and have a look." The boy panted and ran out of breath, and grabbed Xia Yang's arm, "They are making trouble at the entrance of the village."

"Who is it?" Xia Yang was surprised, "What are you making trouble for? Can't you just beat them out?"

"Who dares?" The boy rolled his eyes, "They said they were looking for you, and they were very powerful. We said wait a moment and sent someone to find you, but they started making trouble immediately."

The author has something to say: Wish: babies, happy double holidays! May all your wishes come true and smile often! Bow!

Chapter 80

"Slow down."

Liu Jingwen caught up, held Xia Yang and said: "You are not alone now, if he is not well, you will also be uncomfortable."

His eyes fell on Xia Yang's belly, with some regret in his eyes. He should not let Xia Yang get pregnant, but who could have thought of such an accident.

Liu Jingwen always thought that Xia Yang would not get pregnant, and even if she did, it would not be so soon, but things are often unexpected. If you want Xia Yang to be well, you must always pay attention to protecting the child.

"I forgot." Xia Yang also reacted. He was used to walking with big strides, and now he couldn't change it for a while. "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Even if he was embarrassed and helpless, this was his own flesh and blood. How could Xia Yang not like it? He just couldn't turn around and couldn't remember it for a while.

"What's the matter?" Liu Jingwen turned to ask the boy beside him, "Who is looking for Brother Yang, and what's the matter?"

He heard the boy's words and guessed who was coming. Liu Jingwen frowned and said, "You come to the door and make trouble, or at the entrance of the village, what do you want to do? Are you trying to put pressure on me?" Liu

Jingwen looked at Xia Yang. In fact, it doesn't matter who it is. What's important is Xia Yang's attitude. He wants to respect Xia Yang's opinion. Do you know what he thinks?

"Need I say more?" Xia Yang didn't wait for the boy to speak, and smiled indifferently, "It must be the Xia family, otherwise who would be so confident?"

His eyes were mocking: They are really omnipresent. As long as there is a little sweetness to be gained, they will immediately show up.

The Xia family has not appeared, and Xia Yang still thinks highly of them. Unexpectedly, they still came. It is estimated that it was too late to hear the news that Liujia Village has made a fortune.

That's why there was no movement for a long time, so Xia Yang completely forgot about this family.

"I'll go over and take a look, you don't go." Liu Jingwen understood from Xia Yang's words and cold eyes that Xia Yang had no affection for them.

"You can't be stimulated or angry now." Liu Jingwen said, "You and your father can't have any discomfort because of them."

Liu Jingwen had already asked the doctor about these things. He didn't want any accidents, so it was better for him to deal with it himself.

"No need." Xia Yang smiled and said, "They are not in my eyes. How can I be angry with them? They are just some irrelevant people."

"But." Liu Jingwen was worried and wanted to continue to persuade him, but was stopped by Xia Yang and said, "Only I can come forward to make them give up. None of you can do it."

He didn't say anything else. Whether it was Liu Jingwen, Liu's father, or anyone else,

the Xia family would not be willing to accept it, and might even take advantage of the issue to make things worse.

At that time, Liu Jingwen, Liu's father, and other people in Liujia Village would not be spared. They would be pushed by some people with ulterior motives, and their reputations would be ruined and stabbed in the backs of the villages.

"I'll go with you." Liu Jingwen insisted, ignoring Xia Yang's objection, and said: "You are my husband, marry me, I will be your support, soft when it is necessary to be soft and hard when it is necessary to be hard."

He smiled, looking at Xia Yang with tenderness, as if he was expressing something to Xia Yang, and seemed to have his own insistence.

"Okay." Xia Yang was silent for a moment, suddenly smiled freely, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Let's go together."

He held Liu Jingwen's hand, and suddenly understood at this moment.

No matter when, Liu Jingwen didn't need him to protect him in front of him, what he needed was to face everything side by side with him.

This has nothing to do with dignity, it is due to the deep love between the husband and wife, hoping to protect each other from wind and rain.

It is two people who support each other and want to go forward side by side and hold hands together.

...

"Does it make sense?"

"Is this how you treat people from other villages in Liujia Village?" Sister Xia sat on the ground and rolled around, crying and accusing.

"Just because you Liujia Village is making money now and has become famous in the surrounding villages, you look down on us, the neighbors. We are your relatives in Liujia Village."

"You actually don't let us enter the village. Do you have any humanity in Liujia Village?" Mrs. Xia pointed at the boys in front of her and cursed: "Get out of here quickly. I want to go in and see if our brother Yang has been murdered by you."

"Murdered?" One of the boys rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "If it was murdered, there would be no bones left when you come."

"Hahaha." All the other boys laughed on the side, "That's right, why did you think about it so much? Just that little trick, don't you think anyone knows it?"

How Xia Yang married into Liujia Village and how she was carried in, no one didn't know, even some nearby villages knew it clearly.

Mrs. Xia's words were intended to control people and intimidate them. None of these boys were afraid, but they were afraid of Xia Yang and didn't dare to tear their faces.

Otherwise, when Sister Xia started to make trouble, they would have chased her away. When they were poor, no one dared to come to Liujia Village to make trouble, and now they are even less afraid.

"You, you guys?" Sister Xia cried for a long time. These guys just blocked her way and refused to let her enter the village. She really had no choice.

Glancing at Xia's mother, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Mom, why don't you say something? Dad agreed to look for my third brother, you can't just ignore it."

"I, I." Xia's mother timidly looked at Xia's eldest sister-in-law, then at the little brothers with unfathomable eyes, and shrank her neck, "Didn't they say they were going to look for Yang'er?"

"Big brother." Xia's mother looked at her eldest son again, and said expectantly, "Let's wait a little longer. You see, other people are waiting outside too."

"Yeah." Big brother Xia looked at the entrance of the village and saw some people who wanted to enter the village, and said, "Then wait a little longer, and we'll talk after my third brother comes out." "

What?" Xia's eldest sister-in-law got up from the ground, went up and pinched Big brother Xia, and cursed, "You useless guy, we are relatives from Liujia Village, they treat us like this because they look down on us. What are you waiting for? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"Me." Big brother Xia was tall and strong, but he was pinched by his wife and his mouth was grimacing, and he didn't dare to refute a word.

With a flattering smile, she said to Sister Xia: "Didn't I tell you that this is the rule? When we came here, we also heard that we couldn't come and go at will. You just wait."

"No." Sister Xia pinched her waist and said arrogantly: "I want to go in now. I want to ask what the Liu family means? Is this how they treat their in-laws? Do they look down on us poor relatives?"

She has absolute control over the Xia family. The eldest brother Xia is honest and dutiful, so she controls him tightly and dares not refute her words.

Mother Xia is a cowardly and incompetent person. Not long after she entered the house, she saw the signs and easily took over the housekeeping power. Except for Father Xia, she needs to be a little cautious.

It can be said that Sister Xia is fearless in front of other people in the Xia family. She is the only one who has the final say. Even the younger brothers and sisters who came in later have to be controlled by her.

"Get out if you don't want to wait." Xia Yang came over and just heard these words. His expressionless face was full of impatience. "No one here has anything to do with you. Don't mention my name or use my name in the future. I can't afford to lose face."

"Xia Yang." Sister-in-law Xia was immediately angry. She thought it was at Xia's house. She pointed at Xia Yang and said, "You are an unwanted old man. You are rebelling. How dare you talk to me like this?"

"Heh." Xia Yang sneered and said with a playful look in his eyes, "There is one more sentence, I said it for you. The next sentence is, don't even think about eating today."

"Hahaha." The young man from Liujia Village laughed when he heard Xia Yang's words, "It seems that you have said too much. Brother Yang has been away for so long, but he still remembers this sentence."

"How could I not remember?" Xia Yang crossed his arms and hugged his shoulders, saying nonchalantly: "I can eat two meals of porridge a day, but this sister-in-law of the Xia family is so kind, she has forgotten how precious food is." "If I didn't need to work, I might have forgotten that I need to eat." Xia Yang laughed: "That's it, and you still find excuses to make trouble every day, and try your best to deduct a meal." He looked at Xia's mother and then at Xia Lao Da, his eyes were strange and disgusted, and they were not worthy of being relatives of this body. Everyone saw the daughter-in-law who came in, and tried every trick to deal with their sons and brothers. But they pretended to be deaf and dumb as if they didn't see or hear it, and turned a blind eye as if nothing happened. "You?" Sister-in-law Xia wanted to continue scolding, but she shuddered suddenly when she met Xia Yang's cold eyes, "How can you talk?" She subconsciously took a step back and looked at Xia Yang's upright posture, his back straight, no longer the silent and inferior brother who bowed his head to her. "Why am I talking?" Xia Yang said, "Isn't it to answer your question?" He picked his ears and said with a smile, "If your ears don't work well, pick them well. Don't try to make a scene here. This is not your world in the Xia family." "And." Xia Yang looked at Xia's mother and Xia Lao Da and said, "When I was at the Xia family, I still remember what you said, and I always did what you said. What do you want to do today?" "Me." Xia's mother looked at Xia Yang and saw that he was looking at her expressionlessly. His eyes flashed and he lowered his head and refused to say another word. Xia Lao Da was also silent. He didn't look at Xia Yang and turned his eyes away, as if he didn't know Xia Yang at all. "What are you doing?" Sister Xia glared at Mother Xia and Boss Xia fiercely, raised her neck and stepped forward and said, "Dad is sick, so I asked you to go back and see him." "Originally." Sister Xia paused for a moment, and then said maliciously, "We want to see if you are doing well and support you. Since you have this attitude, we will not care." "After all, even your natal family doesn't care about you. You are being beaten and scolded in your husband's family. You asked for it yourself." "You have always been sneaky and misbehaved." Sister Xia sneered, "We don't have the face to support you, right? You are an unfilial thing, and the face of the Xia family cannot be lost because of you." She just wanted Xia Yang to lose face, and then put the unfilial on his head, and see if Xia Yang dared to resist and oppose her. After all, unfilial people are despised and accused everywhere. Even the Liu family and the entire Liujia Village cannot tolerate the existence of a person who is accused of being unfilial by his natal family. At that time, no matter how she wants to torture him or what he wants him to do, he must do it obediently, otherwise Xia Yang will have no place to stay. Sister Xia's eyes were full of malice. At first, she just wanted to deduct some money from Xia Yang, and even took some money from the Liu family's pockets. But it seemed impossible. She had another idea and planned to get Xia Yang back. This way, she could get more benefits and vent her anger at any time. She secretly made a plan, not only to let Xia Yang hand over the method of growing vegetables, but also to let him grow the vegetables himself, so that she could get the money without any effort. "If you admit your mistake." Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia felt hot in her heart. She felt that this was a good idea and said arrogantly: "If you think the Liu family treats you badly, we will take you back to the Xia family." "As long as you are honest and obedient and no longer unfilial to your family." Mrs. Xia smiled and said: "I can still show leniency and plead with your father for you to give you a place to eat and live." "Tsk tsk tsk." Xia Yang did not miss her calculating eyes and could not help but sigh that this person was really bold. "Do you have anything to add? Or one more sentence, when you are happy one day, find someone else to sell me?" "Puff." "Hahaha." Before Xia Yang finished speaking, the people from other villages who were watching the excitement and the people from Liujia Village who came after hearing the news, all couldn't help laughing. "Yes, yes, yes." Ershu stood aside and said with a smile: "You Xia family are really calculating. Selling once is not enough and you want to sell again." "Humph." An uncle standing at the entrance of the village suddenly snorted: "I don't think this is all she meant. She saw that Liujia Village is now prosperous. Taking people back means bringing back the way to make money." "Uncle has a keen eye." Xia Yang couldn't help but sigh: "You can still hide this little thought from people. Who can't see your plan?" He didn't want to get entangled with Sister Xia. He came here just to tell the Xia family to get out as far as possible and never appear in Liujia Village again. But she slandered the original body, which Xia Yang would not allow. He didn't care about his reputation, and he also wanted to seek justice for the original body. "Filial piety." Xia Yang smiled slightly, glanced at Xia's mother and Xia's eldest brother, and said: "It is not your turn to say this, the Xia family should say this." "It was your idea and you who handled it all when you sold me." Xia Yang said: "It was you who put the money from selling my body into the purse and took it for yourself." "What qualifications do you have to talk to me about the word filial piety?" Xia Yang's face turned cold, and he looked at Xia's eldest sister-in-law and said: "How dare you, an unkind eldest sister-in-law who is not on good terms with brothers and sisters, say this?" "How can you, a person who is selfish and only cares about your own interests and is ruthless and ungrateful, be worthy of being an eldest sister-in-law and know what filial piety is?" "On the day I left, the people in Liujia Village and Xiajia Village saw your ugly face and witnessed the cold-bloodedness of the Xia family. No one said anything when they saw their son being sold." "Instead, they told me that after I left, I would sever ties with the Xia family and would have nothing to do with them. I also followed the word filial piety and never mentioned that I was a member of the Xia family since the day I left." "No matter who says I'm unfilial, it won't happen to me." Xia Yang said, "I've been filial to the extreme, and I've even forgotten about you." He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and said, "If you are still involved with your Xia family because I'm still surnamed Xia, then I will change my surname as you wish." Xia Yang's last sentence was sonorous and powerful, and not only Xia's mother and the eldest brother, but also everyone around was shocked. Everyone looked at Xia Yang in disbelief. They didn't expect him to be so bold and so decisive to draw a clear line with the Xia family. "And more." Xia Yang seemed unaware and ignored everyone's gazes. "Ever since I can remember, the Xia family told me that if I want to eat, I have to work." "When you rest, I work. When you eat, I also work. By the time I eat that mouthful of leftover soup and food, you have fallen asleep." Xia Yang pointed to the blue sky above his head and said, "So I have earned my life to this age entirely by myself, and the heaven and earth can testify to that." "Five taels of silver to buy out the blood relationship." Xia Yang suddenly felt uncomfortable and a little breathless. "It was your proposal, and it was also your own choice." "Huh." Xia Yang stroked his chest and let out a long breath. "It's too late to regret now. I will not give you any chance to manipulate my life for the sake of profit with so-called filial piety." After he said this, he suddenly felt his body lighten. The heaviness just now and the discomfort for a moment all disappeared without a trace. "Just treat me as dead." Xia Yang added, "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out, there's no way to save him." He said this for the original body. The series of feelings Xia Yang had just had made him realize that the original body had not left, and only at this moment did he really give up and leave. Xia Yang touched his abdomen inexplicably, and suddenly realized that the only message the original body gave him when it left was to treat the child well.

"You are not worthy of being relatives." Xia Yang looked at Xia's mother and Xia's eldest brother, ignoring their dodging gazes, "If I could choose, I would rather not be reborn in the Xia family."

Scenes flashed through his mind. His original miserable life had never been valued or loved for more than ten years, and he had never even worn a new piece of clothing.

"As my mother?" Xia Yang took a step forward, staring at Xia's mother and said, "Have you ever made a new piece of clothing for me? Have you ever made a new pair of shoes for me?"

"As my brother." Xia Yang turned to Xia's eldest brother, "Have you ever played with me? Do you treat me as a brother? Have you ever persuaded your wife when she insulted and treated you harshly?"

Xia's mother and Xia's eldest brother stepped back and lowered their heads, trying to avoid Xia Yang's questioning, but their actions just proved that what Xia Yang said was true.

The people around him had unpredictable eyes. They didn't expect that the Xia family was so cold-blooded and selfish, and dared to come to make trouble and continue to make profits from Xia Yang.

"None." Xia Yang shook his head. He thought of his father. "Go back and tell the head of the Xia family that I will do as you wish and cut off our family ties and have nothing to do with them anymore."

These people are not as good as the cold-blooded head of the family. They know that if they want him to work, they should give him something to eat. Maybe it is because of this original body that he can survive.

"Go away." Xia Yang was bored and didn't want to argue anymore, let alone look at Sister Xia. "Don't come to Liujia Village again. There is no one you know here."

"Xia Yang is dead and can never be resurrected. I can't make you happy. Don't humiliate yourself. You are not even worthy of being a human being."

After he said that, he turned around and left without giving the Xia family a chance to react. Xia Yang was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and attack them, thus hurting the baby in his belly.

"Alas!" Xia Yang couldn't help but sigh.

He almost took action just now. What Sister Xia did made him unbearable. He wanted to teach her a lesson and vent his anger for his original body.

He didn't even want to let go of Mother Xia and Boss Xia. He wanted to let them know what a human being is and let them see Xia Yang, who was not regarded as a human being by them.

How do you view them, what price do you want them to pay!

At the last moment, Xia Yang still held back.

He thought of the original body's envy of Xia Dasao, envy of her living freely, envy of her being loved and indulged by Xia Lao, envy of her being allowed to do anything by the Xia family.

But there is no hatred.

Because this is not his blood relative, no matter what behavior, it can't hurt his heart, but he is completely desperate for the Xia family, and he wishes he had never been in this world.

Xia Yang thought: Maybe I helped him vent his anger, but it was still an insult to the original body. After all, in the original body's heart, he no longer considered himself a member of the Xia family.

The original body can vent his anger and leave with peace of mind. It is estimated that it is to completely break away from the Xia family, announce the severance of relations in public, and let everyone see it as a witness.

Xia Yang stroked and touched his abdomen: the original body has never been loved by others, so he gave himself such a feeling before leaving, and treated the child in his belly well.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jingwen ignored everyone's gaze and hurriedly supported Xia Yang and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Did the child bother you?"

"No." Xia Yang looked at Liu Jingwen and smiled at him, "This is our child, we must love him well."

"Of course." Liu Jingwen did not hesitate. This was not only his own flesh and blood, but also the child Xia Yang conceived for him, "This is our child."

"Get out."

"Get out, don't come to our Liujia Village in the future."

"Get out, I've never seen people like you."

"You are all sold out, and you still want to come up and take advantage of us. You are so shameless."

Xia Yang's ears were filled with those words scolding the Xia family. He held Liu Jingwen's hand with a smile on his face, "Let's go home."
