Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 21 Conspiracy?

The snow in March is really annoying. The whole world is dirty and muddy, which is really uncomfortable.

There are no magpie or crows, and sometimes birds fly by in the blue sky. From a distance, the bird looks like a black spot, which is a flaw in the sky.

Song Keren tried her best to look at the end of the sky. A mountain blocked her sight. She couldn't guess what was behind the mountain. She knows that the earth is round, and behind the mountains is not the black hole of the universe.

Maybe there are mountains behind the mountains, villages behind the mountains, or lakes behind the mountains. Who knows, behind the mountain may be her ideal paradise.

Song Keren's idea is practical and simple. In the past three years, she must first find out everything near the village, even on the day she leaves, she will not fall into the Longtan tiger cave.

So, she asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's behind the mountain?"

Her second sister-in-law glanced up and then said disdainfully, "Who knows!"

Song Keren couldn't help but be disappointed. It seems that the second sister-in-law has never been there. On the way back, she had to break through by herself. Song Keren took a long sigh, and Fang Fang glanced at her and said nothing more.

Withinnoon, her sister-in-law hurried into the grocery store with a basket of food. As soon as she came in, her sister-in-law, Miao Laner, said angrily, "This damn snowy day, look at my shoes, they have become horses' hoofs!"

Song Keren and Fang Fang laughed along with her words, but it was not. Sister-in-law Miao Laner's shoes were covered with yellow mud, and they seemed to have stepped on shit. Sister-in-law Miao Laner kicked the door frame fiercely, trying to kick down the yellow mud on her shoes.

"sister-in-law, why did you come to deliver food so early?" Fang Fang asked with a smile.

Miao Laner, the eldest sister-in-law, frowned and kept rubbing the yellow mud on the door frame. When she rubbed one foot clean, she turned back and said to the two sisters-in-law, "Grandma asked me to come early to deliver food. Third daughter-in-law, Grandma asked you to go back. I'll be here for you for a while!"

Ah? Call me? What's the matter?" Song Keren blinked his eyes.

"You will know when you go back. I ate here with your second sister-in-law!" Sister-in-law Miao Laner said.

As soon as Song Keren heard that the emperor had instructions, hurry up. He quickly put the scissors and insoles in his hand into the needle and threaded paper, rubbed the sweat in his hand with his skirt, and hurried back.

Before leaving, her sister-in-law didn't forget to tell her, "You can come back early. After a while, I have to go back to take care of your eldest brother!"

"I know, I'll go back quickly." Song Keren said.

Seeing Song Keren go far away, Fang Fang turned her eyes, left the soles of her hand in the needle and thread, and strained her waist. Sister-in-law Miao Laner came over and took out the tortillas in the basket.

"Why did the milk ask her to go back?" Fang Fang asked.

Miao Laner, the eldest sister-in-law, glanced at her mouth, holding a cake in one hand and pickles in the other and said, "Who knows? I saw that grandma was nagging all day. When she was old, she couldn't help coaxing her sweetly. Maybe she went back to eat a small stove!"

"Sister-in-law, do you also think this third daughter-in-law is not a good thing?" Fang Fang immediately became interested.

Sister-in-law Miao Laner immediately turned her eyes and asked mysteriously, "Why, what do you see?"

"Sister-in-law, don't you think this third daughter-in-law has a lot of heart? Look, it's only been a few days, and it has become the apple of grandma's eye? Fang Fang said.

Miao Laner, the eldest sister-in-law, suddenly looked disdainful of jealousy and grew up and said exaggeratedly, "Oh... I think you are jealous. As soon as she came, she robbed your position in front of grandma!"

Hearing this, Fang Fang repeatedly said, "sister-in-law, where did you go?" I don't know yet? He is heartless all day. Who can win the favor!"

Miao Laner, the eldest sister-in-law, immediately put on an expression of disbelief, raised her head slightly arrogantly, and hooked the corners of her mouth, showing a sneer.

"Oh, our second grandma should not be modest. Who doesn't know that the old lady loves the second grandma the most. Hey, as my sister-in-law, I can't help but love our second grandmother!" Sister-in-law Miao Laner said strangely.

Fang Fang blushed with embarrassment, waved her hand to the air and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it. Where is grandma looking at me? It's my sister-in-law, thinking about me no matter big or small!"

"You have a conscience!" Sister-in-law Miao Laner immediately laughed, revealing her pink upper gums.

"Try to tell me, what's wrong with this three daughters-in-law!" Sister-in-law Miao Laner left her queen-like arrogant appearance and quickly bent down to ask.

Fang Fang sighed and pretended to be mysteriously, "She didn't offend me, but my sister-in-law. I can't bear it."

Miao Laner, the sister-in-law, immediately showed an arrogant look on her face, as if she disdained to discuss this topic. It seems that she is a saint. There is no need for her to be angry. The person who spoke ill of her immediately lost his voice. However, her sister-in-law Miao Lan's eyes still betrayed her, and Fang Fang suddenly understood her thoughts from her eyes.

Well, women are women after all, and they always care so much about what others think of them.

"Sister-in-law, do you know why your second brother is going to the field?" Fang Fang rolled her eyes and said mysteriously.

"Didn't grandma let you?" Sister-in-law Miao Laner said.

Fang Fang slapped her thigh fiercely, as if hysterical and said, "Where! Why did this good grandma ask your second brother to go to the field?

"Why?"

"Isn't that what the third daughter-in-law said? You were not there yesterday and didn't hear it. Didn't grandma ask me to see the store with my third daughter-in-law yesterday? After a while, grandma came. As soon as she came, she asked, 'How's the business in the store today?' The third daughter-in-law said, 'There is no one in the store today.' Grandma said, 'Hey, business has been difficult recently.' The second daughter-in-law said, 'Grandma, why don't you just ask the second brother to work? Just watch us here!' Grandma was moved when she heard it! Well, it's just me. He also talked about the big brother! The third daughter-in-law said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, the second brother and the eldest brother run more people in those places. Don't you still need to hire workers? The second brother can do it alone. Why don't you ask your eldest brother to go out to work? He is the boss, strong and can make a lot of money after working for a year. Tell me, is this human talk? It's only been a few days since I entered the door, and I've been talking in front of us!" Fang Fang said angrily.

When her sister-in-law Miao Laner heard that she was going to let her man go out to work, she was suddenly sweating.

"Ah, what did grandma say? Grandma agreed to your eldest brother to make a living? Sister-in-law Miao Laner asked hurriedly.

Fang Fang saw her sister-in-law Miao Laner on the hook, and smiled proudly.

"Ty! What the hell did you say!" Fang Fang is anxious.

"Hey, sister-in-law, just thank me. I told my grandmother that the eldest brother had a serious illness and was weak. Can he go out to live? Besides, it's only two taels of silver to live a year. But how tired is it to work? All those who go out to make a living are all teenagers, and the eldest brother is the father of two children. If you go out to make a living, isn't this his old bones?

"That's right, what did grandma say?" Sister-in-law Miao Laner asked tightly.

For the unprovoked interruption of her topic, Fang Fang frowned to vent her dissatisfaction, but she immediately continued: "I also said that although our family's life is a little more difficult, the whole family is happy. If the eldest brother goes out, our family will have less backbone. I also advised my grandmother to hire a short-term worker at home. You said that you hire two short-term workers every year and one this year. When Lao San and Lao Si are free, they also help with the field, and that's it. Our family has only ten mu of land in total. In good years, one mu of land is only one taels of silver, and ten mu of land is only ten taels of silver. Two or three taels for the work, and the rest are for household use. The third and fourth go to school, and you don't need three or four taels every year. The rest is just enough to eat! Lao Si saw that she was old and wanted to get married. As for the little sister, she always wanted to get married. If you hire one less short-term worker and work with us, can't we get together?

"What about grandma? Agreed?" Sister-in-law Miao Laner asked anxiously.

Fang Fang immediately said, "Grandma listened to me and thought about it for a long time before she agreed. Sister-in-law, you have to thank me this time. If I hadn't argued rationally, when my eldest brother recovered, I would have to go out to survive! Tell me, how bad-hearted this third daughter-in-law is!"

"I really didn't expect that I would dare to make trouble in front of my grandma in just a few days." Sister-in-law Miao Laner said angrily.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Fang Fang immediately followed and said, "No, isn't it just relying on her to sleep in grandma's room? By the way, sister-in-law, why didn't grandma let her sleep with her third brother? They just got married! There must be something wrong with this!"

Miao Laner, the eldest sister-in-law, sneered twice and said firmly, "Why didn't you let her sleep with her third brother? Didn't you see it? Haven't you heard that after my mother agreed to this marriage, our grandmother specially went to the temple and invited the monk to see the eight characters of these two people? I heard that the eight characters match very well, so the grandmother let the third daughter-in-law enter the door. I heard that the eight characters of the third brother-in-law are particularly prosperous. Grandma always looked forward to the third brother coming forward to fight for the Zhou family, and the third brother died. I think this is grandma's plan!"

"Wait?"

"That's not it! Grandma is now asking her sister-in-law to live in her house. Isn't she afraid that the third brother will die? Before the third brother's scientific examination, if you find a big immortal to do the method and transfer the luck of the younger brother-in-law to the third brother, how can you fail the exam? Fang Fang said.

"Is grandma that sinister?" Fang Fang came out.

"Tut..." Sister-in-law Miao Laner immediately said annly.

"You don't believe it, right? Let's see. At that time, grandma will definitely make a big move!" Sister-in-law Miao Laner said.
