Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 478 - : Awakening
Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Awakening
Liu Sisi’s mouth twitched slightly.
Rather than comforting Miao Cuihua, this person seemed more intent on kicking her when she was down.
As soon as she finished speaking, Miao Cuihua’s face turned pale with a touch of green, and she muttered softly, “Impossible! My husband Shou Hou, he… I…”
The confidence in her words was clearly lacking. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding onlookers, she spoke softer and softer. Even with her naturally loud voice, she could barely hear herself and wished she could crawl into a crevice.
Land Officer’s wife was experienced and knowledgeable. She could tell what was going on just by looking at the situation. She sighed secretly, not expecting Shou Hou, who appeared to be honest, simple, and henpecked, to be involved in such a situation!
She quickly comforted Miao Cuihua: “Cuihua, Sisi was right just now. Your husband got his wages only after signing and stamping his fingerprint. It’s not reasonable for you to come here and cause trouble for Sisi, especially on such a good day like today. Don’t make a fool of yourself and enjoy the good food and drinks here. Don’t be confused again!”
Land Officer’s wife’s words made Miao Cuihua’s face turn from pale to green, then to black, extremely ugly!
She wanted to argue, but the accumulated authority of the Land Officer’s wife over the years made it impossible for her to speak her mind.
She couldn’t hold back her temper for long, though. With a fierce slap on her thigh, she stood up angrily, wailing continuously.
“Damn you, Shou Hou! I’ve been starving at home every day, takings care of the children for you, and you have the guts to **** on me outside! I, Miao Cuihua, will teach you a lesson!”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was ready to storm out, grab Shou Hou, and give him a severe beating.
“Shut up! What the hell are you howling about? Do you think you’re a wolf cub?”
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Land Officer’s wife quickly scolded her: “Whatever issues you have as husband and wife, settle them when you get home at night and close the door. Don’t make it known to everyone, and especially don’t cause trouble at Di’s house on such a great day like today. I won’t let you off easily!”
This stern scolding made Miao Cuihua shrink back, mumbling something under her breath, but no one heard it clearly as she turned and quickly left the room.
As soon as she left, the crowd gathered again, whispering all kinds of speculation.
Liu Sisi laughed: “Actually, I’m to blame for this too. After Shou Hou received his wages at the end of the month, he rushed away and didn’t return until the next morning. I thought he had gone home, but the next day, Cuihua came to my residence in the small town to look for me. It happened that Sisi wasn’t feeling well at that time, so… so I didn’t have the heart to explain in detail. Maybe that’s why she misunderstood something?”
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
Liu Sisi had thought about it too. If she continued to hide the truth from Miao Cuihua on behalf of Shou Hou, it wasn’t impossible.
However, in the end, she would only become the villain to both parties. Better to take advantage of Miao Cuihua picking up the topic to clarify the matter. It has nothing to do with her!”);
p>how far the couple will go!
“Silly girl, you can’t blame yourself for this.”
Land Officer’s wife said earnestly: “Ahem! Let’s not talk about Cuihua’s affairs in private, everyone knows she’s been handling everything at home, and it’s not easy for her. Not to mention raising Little Chubby!”
At the words of Land Officer’s wife, everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking.
“Come on, everyone, let’s eat! In this cold weather, it’s best to have a full stomach.”
Liu Sisi hurriedly invited everyone. freёweɓnovel.com
Everyone continued to eat and chat merrily.
A familiar-looking married woman sat beside Liu Sisi and asked hesitantly.
“Sisi, have you made a decision about the matter I mentioned last time?”
Liu Sisi frowned in thought: “Oh! I remember, you’re Sister-in-Law Sun from East Village, right? You’re talking about leasing the land under my father’s name, right? I’ve already asked my father about it.”
Liu Sisi hadn’t thought about farming the land herself from the beginning. Although she wasn’t completely ignorant about crops, she definitely didn’t want to be facing the yellow earth and the sky all day long.
So, it was natural to lease those fertile lands to someone else. Choosing a hardworking and honest farming family was the top priority.
As soon as she and her father had mentioned Sun’s Sister-in-Law, her father had agreed.
It was obvious that her father had a good impression of the Sister-in-Law’s husband.
“Yes, exactly! I can’t believe Mrs. Sub-Captain has such a good memory.”/p>
Sister-in-Law Sun praised Liu Sisi somewhat bashfully./p>
Liu Sisi said solemnly: “My father’s opinion is that you can lease the land as you wish. The only thing is, when you farm, you must do deep plowing and digging, and not waste the land. As for the lease contract, come over again early tomorrow, and you can sign it with my father personally.”
Sister-in-Law Sun was overjoyed! She immediately agreed to the matter.
“Alright! It’s settled then! My husband and I will come by early tomorrow morning to sign the contract with Elderly Di.”
Watching Sister-in-Law Sun leave the kitchen with a satisfied hum, the crowd nearby quickly gathered around.
“Sisi, that land Sister-in-Law Sun mentioned, do you still have some left? If so, could you lease a few acres to me too?”
These words were the heartfelt thoughts of everyone.
The Awakening of Insects season was approaching, and it was time to prepare for the work in the fields. Last year, they had heard that Di Family bought fertile lands, and who wouldn’t want to cultivate those lands? Naturally, it attracted envious stares.
Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Everybody knows that our family didn’t have any land before, and the only land we have is the one I just discussed with Sister-in-Law Sun, which my father allocated to us. We’ve already leased it to her. As for the other fertile lands, they are near the official road close to the county. If we were all to farm there, the journey alone would probably be…”
Nowadays, Di Family traveled to and from the county using horses. However, for farmers, it was mostly a bull-cart or walking.
If they went to the fields to do farm work, by the time they arrived at the plot, it would already be noon. Without having time to do anything in the fields, they would have to hurry back home. That’s not farming; it’s more like a spring outing!
As expected, after Liu Sisi’s words, everyone’s enthusiasm died down, and they returned to their seats disappointed.
Liu Sisi was also lost in thought, only remembering that spring plowing was soon, and they needed to find a good family to cultivate that fertile land!
