The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 316 316 Flat Wife

  Chunjuan thought to herself after hearing this: Your lord had promised herself to be your equal wife, but you yellow-faced woman wants me to sign a body contract and become a slave as a maid, even if your lifeline is in your hands, that's not possible.

  Chunjuan looked at Lin Zicong resentfully, and shouted aggrievedly, "Sir, you said that you would marry me as your equal wife."

   "You're hysterical!" Lin Zicong blushed and glared at Chunjuan and blurted out, looking up to see He Shi's shocked eyes, feeling ashamed.

   "You said..."

   This is the man who shared weal and woe with me back then, and pledged his true love to him. If this woman is from a prominent family background, she might not be able to keep her position as a wife!

"Hahaha..." Mrs He laughed angrily, "Wife Ping, do you think my Lin family is one of those merchants?" Mrs He looked at Lin Zicong with a sarcastic expression, "Master, you really want to marry Miss Chunjuan as Ping. wife?"

Lin Zicong looked at He shyly, and bowed his hands to her, "I'm wronged, madam, how could my husband agree to such a ridiculous thing, Miss Chunjuan is willing to sign a marriage contract for her concubine, and she will be married off with the deputy dowry if she doesn't want to. Let's go!" After Lin Zicong finished speaking, he walked away.

  Chunjuan looked at Lin Zicong's back, felt that the sky was falling, and murmured, "How can you forget so quickly?"

  In the face of fame, fortune and power, the gentleness and sweet words of men are like yesterday's yellow flowers gone forever.

   Mr. He glanced at Chunjuan who was standing there, her voice was cold, "Girl, you have heard what the lord said, you can talk about your choice!"

  Chunjuan thought to herself: She is not perfect anymore. It is better to be a concubine in the Lin Mansion and have a good life if you marry those peddlers who work hard for three meals.

   Chunjuan swallowed her unwillingness, walked over and knelt at He's feet, kowtowed and saluted, "Chunjuan greets Madam."

  He looked at Chunjuan who was kneeling at her feet indifferently, forbearing the pain of being bitten by her heart, and raised her hand, "Qiu Ju, take Miss Chunjuan to sign the body contract first, and then offer tea."

Qiu Ju took Chunjuan to sign the contract, and watched Chunjuan's back slowly disappear, but He didn't feel the joy of victory, only felt that her heart was slowly cooling, and the corners of her eyes and brows were gentle and quiet. also disappeared.

   The next morning, before the sun came out, Li Yu and Mr. Wen went to Yangjia Village next door.

  Yangjia Village was built at the foot of Luoji Mountain. The whole village is surrounded by bamboo forests. There is a large area of ​​fertile fields in front of the village. The fields in the village are grown with rice, and some vegetables and fruits.

  The houses in the village include tile houses and thatched houses, and there is a large mansion built with blue bricks and blue tiles in the center of the village.

Mr. Wen pointed to the house, "Xiaoyu, that Zhuangzi belongs to a family surnamed Tian, ​​Awei said that the seedlings from Tian's family are of the same species as ours, and also from the village chief's family. Awei also asked about those The villagers, the villagers said they couldn't buy the kind of rice seeds that the Tian family and the village chief's family had."

   "Sir, big households and village chiefs can buy them, but ordinary villagers can't. There must be some hidden secrets here."

   "What's going on, you can only find out if you check it out."

A tall woman carried a load of grass and walked towards the two of them. Seeing Mr. Wen happily putting down her burden, she saluted respectfully at Mr. Wen, and said quickly, "Doctor Wen, are you coming to see a doctor in the village? Thank you very much. My mother-in-law's kneecap is much better and she can sleep peacefully at night."

   "That's good, Sister Yang remember to ask your mother-in-law to insist on soaking her feet with herbs every night before going to bed, and I'll show her in a few days."

Sister-in-law Yang laughed, "Thanks to you Doctor Wen, people in the village praise you for your good medical skills. You are much better than those doctors in the city. The doctors in the city spend more money and can't cure diseases. You teach us. Pulling out some herbs and soaking your feet can also cure the disease.”

   "Miao praised everyone, it's just to reduce everyone's pain." Mr. Wen smiled.

  Li Yu saw Sister Yang's refreshing look, pointed to the seedlings in the field and asked, "Sister Yang, did you keep the rice seeds in the fields yourself, or did you buy them from the seed shop?"

Sister-in-law Yang pointed to the seedling field and said with a hearty smile: "Madam, the seedlings you see are all the rice seeds left by the family every year. My family also bought good rice seeds like the Tian family a few times. Once I haven’t bought it yet. The new rice harvested by Tian’s family last year also left rice seeds. In the spring of this year, it was announced that his family also had high-yield rice seeds for sale, but the price was too expensive and we couldn’t afford it, so we asked the Tian’s family. Bought new rice seeds."

  The Tian family kept rice seeds to sell? Could it be that the grain store shopkeeper of the Four Seas Bank colluded with a noble family like the Tian family to sell grain seeds?

   "Which shop in the city bought the Tian family's rice seeds, do you know?"

The woman nodded, "I know, the Fenggu Grain Shop in the city used to sell only grain, and the price was fairer than other shops. The rice seeds were only sold last year, and the Tian family planted the Fenggu Grain Shop last year. Rice seeds, that yield is really good."

   "Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Yu decided to ask someone to find out why these villagers couldn't buy rice seeds, but the big family like the Tian family's Wang family could.

   "You are too polite, just a few words, Doctor Wen, this lady, come and play!" The woman picked up the burden and walked towards the village.

  Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay, my home is in Zhuangzi in the east, you can come and play when you have time."

  Mr. Wen also heard some problems from the woman's words, "Xiaoyu, the grain store manager of the Four Seas Bank in Yunzhou may have colluded with the family."

   "It's possible." Li Yu also had such a guess.

   Li Yu and Mr. Wen strolled around the village and asked a few villagers, and they all said the same thing as Mrs. Yang.

   Li Yu and Mr. Wen strolled back to the Zhuangzi, and saw Ruyi leading people to place tables and chairs in the wing.

  If he thought that Li Yu and Mr. Wen came back, he pointed at the desks and chairs with a smile and said, "Look, madam, the desks and chairs have been delivered. I'll go to the city and let Bantou Liu bring a letter to Mr. Liu."

  Li Yu nodded, "Just in time, you go to the Fenggu Grain Store in the city to see how their rice seeds are sold? When will you be able to buy them?"

  Ru looked at Li Yu puzzled, "Madam, Fenggu Grain Store is run by Qianzhuang, what happened?"

   "Yes, Mr. said last time that the rice seeds planted by the villagers in the village are different from ours. I thought it was because the villagers didn't trust the new rice seeds. After I went to the village today, I thought that was not the case..."

"Ma'am, I'll go back to the city and ask," Ruyi understood what Li Yu meant, "Old Zoutou and the others went home from work yesterday, saying that they found that some corn seedlings in the field had been stolen, and they went to the corn early in the morning. Check it out."

  Li Yu looked down at the sky, "It's been a while since the time came. If there's something they know and come back to report, you go to the city first, and I'll ask Awei to take a look."

  Ruyi nodded, glanced at the dusty clothes, and said with a smile: "Then I don't need to change this one, it's just right to go to the grain shop."

   "Alright, let's go like this!" Li Yu said with a smile.
