Chapter 17 Fighting the Spring Bull
"Why didn't you see Caizhu Ji? He is a big tenant in our Baimiao Village, so there is no reason why he can't come."
"You don't know yet. Ji Caizhu sent someone to pass the message early in the morning, saying that he was feeling unwell and needed rest. He also asked the county magistrate to help attend."
"It turns out that he is rich and powerful. The county magistrate has invited him!"
A conversation came from the crowd. Xu Jiaoxing's nerves that had been tense up because of the three words "Ji Qianzhu". Even though he didn't know if the rich man and the original owner were the same person, Xu Jiaoxing still didn't want to have any involvement with the other party.
Suddenly, a loud sound of firecrackers came, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue round-necked official, a purplish boy, and a medium-sized figure came from the fork between paddy fields not far away.
No need to think about it, I also know that he is the parent official of Lin County.
From time to time, there were sounds of clapping and cheering "Mr. Ruan".
Only then did Xu Jiaoxing realize that the parents of Lin County were named Ruan.
At this time, Lord Ruan said a few auspicious words of warmth from the spring breeze in front of the vast crowd, and soon someone handed over a flower whip.
Everyone was watching him beating Chunniu, so they rushed forward, wanting to grab more white rice to go home.
Xu Jiaoxing had seen a group of yamen runners following Lord Ruan. She had been patrolling for a while, and suddenly she saw a man in brown clothes, green beards and a cold and hard face in the crowd.
Isn’t that person the “water ghost” she saved by the waterside in the past?
Xu Jiaoxing rubbed his eyes and looked at him again, the man had long disappeared. At this time, his wrist was pulled hard by Sang Sanniang. Before Xu Jiaoxing could react, she had already been dragged into the crowd by Sang Sanniang.
"Amanniang, please use your strength, and we can squeeze in front of you to grab more rice."
Sang Sanniang's voice came from his ears. In fact, Xu Jiaoxing also knew that Sang Sanniang's family was a hunter and life should be better than that of the villagers. The reason why she was so anxious was that she might want to help her.
I was moved, and Xu Jiaoxing squeezed it in with all her strength. Since she was here, she seemed to be sorry for Sang Sanniang if she didn't cook white rice for Aman.
Chunniu was punched with many holes by Lord Ruan, and the white rice quickly drilled out of Chunniu's belly. For a moment, the crowd was boiling.
Sang Sanniang finally pushed Xu Jiaoxing into the crowd, but the people in front of her were like a mountain, blocking the way they went. Seeing that the big white rice had no hope, Zhou Mu quickly squatted and crawled under the crowd.
She was thin and petite. Under such circumstances, she easily squeezed into the front of people. Seeing that there were still large white rice piles like hills on the ground, Xu Jiaoxing quickly put a cloth bag in it and quickly filled it with white rice.
After all the white rice on the ground was snatched away, the crowd gradually loosened. Xu Jiaoxing weighed the rice bag in her hand and it should have three or four kilograms, and she felt satisfied.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a girl who was as old as hers squatting on the ground and crying. Xu Jiaoxing was stunned. When she glanced at the empty rice bag, she was stunned.
"How is it? Didn't you knock and fall?" Sang Sanniang walked up. She just felt that she couldn't help Xu Jiaoxing today. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Xu Jiaoxing rushed to the front by herself.
When she followed Xu Jiaoxing's gaze, Sang Sanniang couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, Zhou Xiaoqing is miserable this time, and she has no harvest. I don't know how she will be abused by her strong mother-in-law."
Zhou Xiaoqing and Xu Jiaoxing had heard of this person. She went to Baili’s house as a child bride at the age of eight. However, because of her poor background, she has always been disliked by the Bai family. She heard that her men were studying in the county and liked a well-educated woman. She never looked down on a girl like Zhou Xiaoqing who worked in the mud all day, so she was difficult to come back.
And her mother-in-law Ma Meixiang became more and more disliked when she was worried about her. She just wanted to treat her as a cow on weekdays. Whenever she saw her say something to a man, she would have to serve her with a whip.
Xu Jiaoxing suddenly thought of the original owner. To a certain extent, the original owner and Zhou Xiaoqing were both victims of this man.
Unbearable, Xu Jiaoxing quickly walked over and poured half of the rice in her rice bag for Zhou Xiaoqing.
The girl who was already sobbing on the ground heard the sound of rice 'swhispering' and looked at Xu Jiaoxing as soon as she looked up.
"Go back quickly, don't say what I gave it to you, so as not to be scolded." Xu Jiaoxing smiled at her. The girl in front of her looked pretty and her eyes were extremely pure. After hearing her words, she hurriedly touched her tears and thanked her repeatedly.
Xu Jiaoxing didn't say much to her and walked towards Sang Sanniang again.
"So too. Although Zhou Xiaoqing's mother-in-law is very cruel, she will not starve her to death. What do you eat by yourself if you give her so much food?"
Sang Sanniang said angrily. Xu Jiaoxing had already pulled the rice bag on her hand and was about to pour the rice for her. Sang Sanniang hurriedly refused: "I don't want it anymore. I still have a lot of food in my house. It's unlucky for you to send too much."
"What's that? Without Sanniang, I can't grab so many."
In order to help Xu Jiaoxing squeeze into the crowd, Sang Sanniang was already in a state of no harvest. If she didn't give her some, Xu Jiaoxing couldn't live a life.
Sang Sanniang looked at Xu Jiaoxing deeply: "You snatched it. You shouldn't give it to someone else. I won't mention Zhou Xiaoqing anymore. Amanniang, I'm really right. You're really good at thinking. If my daughter-in-law in the future can have half of you, I'll wake up in my dreams."
Xu Jiaoxing was embarrassed and thought to himself that Sang Sanniang thought that in Baimiao Village, she thought she was better.
At this time, there were not many people in the Chunniu Farm. Xu Jiaoxing and Sang Sanniang walked towards the dry land. After arriving at Sang Sanniang's house, Xu Jiaoxing asked for decimal rice to Sang Sanniang. Sang Sanniang refused to ask for anything, and handed her out her backpack and pushed her out.
"Amannie, go back quickly and cook for Aman, don't starve little Aman."
Seeing Sang Sanniang rejecting her so much, Xu Jiaoxing knew that the rice could not be delivered, so she finally had no choice but to carry the basket home.
As soon as she returned to the dry land, Xu Jiaoxing put down her backpack and heard Aman's crying. Seeing that the door of her yard was open, she felt tight and hurriedly ran into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a short and strong boy about eight or nine years old riding on Aman's body, pinching Aman's neck hard!
Aman was young and extremely thin. Now he was bullied, his face turned red and his hands kept fluttering, but this effect was extremely small, like a snail shaking a big tree, but it had no effect at all!
"What are you doing?" Xu Jiaoxing's eyes turned red. She ran up angrily and pulled the boy's shoulders and pulled the man away from Aman's body.
"Mom!" Aman gasped and red eyes. When he saw Xu Jiaoxing, his tears began to flow unstoppably.
Xu Jiaoxing hugged him in her arms, patted her back all the time, and coaxed her softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay, with my mother here, no one dares to bully you!"
Aman was snot and tears flowing, and a little head snailed in Xu Jiaoxing's arms. He saw him pulling Xu Jiaoxing's sleeve tightly, and his whole body trembled a few times, looking very pitiful.
Xu Jiaoxing only felt that her heart was suddenly grabbed by something, and her heart was hurting!
