I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 858: The Pattern of Being the Mistress of the Household

Looking at Bai Anchen's current appearance, Du Shi gave him a mocking look, and Shi Shiran turned around and left.

Bai Anchen came back to his senses and subconsciously raised his feet to chase after him. He was stopped as soon as he reached the door. When he poked his head, he only saw a corner of Du's clothes disappearing from his sight.

 “Du Shi, stop for me…”

No matter how he shouted, no one responded to him.

 All the way back to her room, Du Shi took a long breath, and the depression she was holding in her heart finally dissipated. Today, she went to find her fifth younger brother and sister to help with needlework. She happened to hear Xiaonian's report. She couldn't hold back her curiosity and went to take a look.

She has always known that the official was trapped in the side courtyard, and she did not want to go there to seek bad luck. Today, she failed to control her own feet.

 As soon as she came to Fucheng, her mother-in-law asked her to take care of the house. Such trust made it worth her efforts for the family.

Mother-in-law works hard for the entire family, and as the head mother of the family, she cannot just sit back and watch.

"As I said, I still have it in my hand. You kid, how can anyone force money into someone's mouth? You really don't need it. If I'm in a hurry, I won't be polite to you."

 Hearing Bai Yunxi’s tone, Ya will smile.

“You are right, but I heard from my boss that the harvest in Houshan Orchard is pretty good and the price is reasonable.”

"My mother told me when she gave me these banknotes that I would take them out when I need them in the future. Isn't it the time when my mother needs money to buy a small village?"

Looking over it again and again, Baiyunxi began to think about it. No wonder it was so close to the capital city but no one wanted to buy it. For ordinary people buying land, it was not a good deal.

 The orchard in the back mountain occupies too much space, and the fields in the front are somewhat scattered, making it inconvenient to manage.

In terms of price, Baiyunxi has no objection. The farmland here in Fucheng is similar to that in their hometown. Paddy fields cost 8 guan per acre. As for orchards, they are more expensive, 5 guan per acre.

 When winter comes, everything is desolate and the fields are in a resting period. This is also an active period for land buying and selling.

“In addition to tenants, there are also several families of ordinary people living in Zhuangzi. On weekdays, they raise chickens and ducks, sell vegetables, and go into the city carrying ladles.”

 In the end, Zhang Yishan had no choice but to go back with the box in her arms.

Bai Yunxi held her chin and looked at Zhang Yishan's leaving figure. She couldn't help but be speechless. Xiao Wu was really lucky to have such a virtuous wife.

But it was really comforting to see him looking sluggish, with unwilling eyes, but also a look of helplessness.

Bai Yunxi nodded, "I went to Yaxing for a walk, and it sounds like there are a few suitable Zhuangzi. I have to go check it out."

After several people met at the city gate, they drove forward. One mile away from the city gate, there was a small village, with mountains and water at its back, and more than a dozen families living in it. In front of it was a bare field, and behind the village was a half-century village. On the hillside, a stream meanders out of the mountain and merges into the river in the fields.

“Only the advantage of being close to the capital city, the rest is really unsatisfactory.”

"This is Qianpo Village. It is the closest to the city gate. It is very convenient to enter and exit the city. The fields are also very fertile and easy to irrigate. It is a very popular small village. The only drawback is that it is too small. There are only 50 acres of paddy fields and 50 acres on the back hillside. acres of orchards.”

Thinking about Du's character, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was quite courageous. He actually dared to go and watch other people's jokes?

It is understandable if you think about it. Bai Anchen has done so many shameful things, and now he deserves to be laughed at.

“It’s all up to my mother.”

 Yahui pointed to a field in front of him and explained to Baiyunxi with a smile,

 “Mom, is there any Zhuangzi you like?”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s question, Zhang Yishan’s cheeks turned red.

Looking at the red lacquer box placed in front of him, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows.

  Two a zero two: eight one zero six: two b: nine two zero zero: f eight eight three: f three c four: two nine seven three: one zero a zero

"Mom, what you said is wrong. I am also a member of the family, so naturally I have to do my best for the family."

 The spring and autumn harvest seasons involve crops in the fields. Unless there are special circumstances, few people sell their fields.

 “Mom, this is for you.”

 Speaking, Bai Yunxi pushed the box in front of her.

Baiyunxi chuckled lightly,

"Mother is very satisfied if you have this intention. You don't need to use dowry to supplement it for the time being. I still have money on hand. It will be the same if I ask for it from you after I use it."

 Zhang Yishan's face turned red and she held the handkerchief nervously.

 When Bai Yunxi came back with Wenyou, Mrs. Zhu reported the situation at home to her.

“This is the bottom of the gun that your mother prepared for you. You gave it to me. What will you do if I need it in the future?”

　　I knew that my mother-in-law loved her daughter, but I didn't expect that she would be so considerate and prepare so many ready-made banknotes for her daughter.

 It is really easy to exchange it for silver notes and carry it. If it is copper coins, you have to carry half a bag.

Hearing her mother-in-law’s rejection, Zhang Yishan was a little embarrassed.

　　“I’ve brought them all, let me keep them for you.”

 The next day, Baiyunxi had an early meal and took Wenyou out. Today he had an appointment with Yahui to check on Xiaozhuangzi.

 Zhang Yishan turned around and took the box from Ginkgo's hand and put it on the Kang table in front of Baiyunxi.

Looking at Zhang Yishan and listening to her explanation, Bai Yunxi laughed out loud, "You silly girl, your mother-in-law asked you to keep it for emergencies. If you give it to me, it will be confiscated."

To be honest, Zhang Yishan was able to pay for the dowry. She was surprised but at the same time she felt that it was reasonable. Her mother-in-law educated her daughter with the overall situation in mind, and for the sake of the entire family, she was properly educated as the matron of the house.

Hearing Zhang Yishan's thoughts, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle and opened the box. Inside was a stack of banknotes, fifty taels each, a full thousand taels.

 Zhang Yishan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"My mother is busy buying property for this family. As a daughter-in-law, I can't just sit back and watch. This is my intention. Please don't blame me."

 Du Shi has suppressed too much grievance in her heart, and it must be released.

She knew in her heart that giving money to support her mother-in-law would easily make people feel uncomfortable, but she knew what the Bai family's fortune was. When she learned that her mother-in-law wanted to buy a small village, she took out the bottom of the box that her mother had left for her when she returned home. .

At this time, one tael of silver was equal to one pound of money.

 When Zhang Yishan came over with Ginkgo, Baiyunxi had just drank some water to catch his breath.

Since you want to store ducks, the farm you want to buy must either have a pond or a river. If this is not possible, an orchard is also possible.

Yahui explained to them and took them along the creek to the halfway slope, letting Baiyunxi look at the orchard over there.

Yahui saw that Baiyunxi was hesitant about this village, and pointed to the hillside in the distance.

“There is a Houpo Village over there with a hundred acres of paddy fields. Let’s go take a look?”

“Well, since I’m here, I might as well read them all.”
