《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 33: An Idea!
Advertisement
On the other side, A'Lan couldn't say anything after being interrupted by Huo Li. However, she knew about Huo Li's situation. Anyway, she would be staying in the village for a while and she doesn't believe that Huo Li could stay safely with her pretty face.
What's more, she doesn't believe that she wouldn't be able to get Huo Li from that ugly monster, Lin Xiaoye, who couldn't be compared with her.
With these thoughts, A'Lan returned to the Lin Family and at a glance, she saw that there were a lot of men with muddy legs from the village surrounding the Lin's courtyard.
A'Lan hurriedly tidied her clothes, raised her head slightly with a smug expression on her face and walked past those people.
Although A'Lan's body has been soiled with muddy water, in the eyes of these farmers, A'Lan's appearance can make them ignore all those things.
At this time, Sun-shi immediately saw A'Lan and suddenly stepped forward with joy.
"A'Lan is back?"
A'Lan smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she saw Wang-shi washing clothes on the side, her body was so thin that she doesn't look like a woman at all.
A'Lan straightened up and sneered.
"Like mother like daughter, ugly monsters!"
A'Lan really said these taboo words. Wang-shi was taken aback and the action of her hands paused, then she raised her eyes to look at A'Lan. As for A'Lan, she wasn't even ashamed, but glared at Wang-shi instead.
Wang-shi lowered her eyes and helplessly sighed. She then continued to wash the clothes in her hands as an idea formed in her mind.
It seemed like A'Lan went to find Xiaoye. She wondered if Xiaoye had suffered any losses.
With these thoughts, how could Wang-shi not count in her heart?
She couldn't help but feel sad. She just felt that she was useless and couldn't take good care of her children.
A'Lan looked at Wang-shi with ridicule in her eyes and then pulled Sun-shi into the house.

When they entered the house, she saw a two meter wide Kang bed and an old cabinet next to it. The cabinet was not considered big and looked like she recognized it, but facing the door, there was a wooden table, but neither of the two times that A'Lan came was she willing to go to that table, because Sun-shi never cleaned it up, making it look dirty and messy.
A'Lan moved a stool to the side and sat down.
"Aunt, do you know a hunter whose surname is Huo?"
Sun-shi sat on the Kang bed, picked up the handwork she hasn't finished yet and started working on it.
"How can I not know?"
With that, Sun-shi smiled: "You don't know, but that hunter was a fool. Why do you think I had to shove that nastry girl Lin Xiaoye over there?"
Hearing Sun-shi's words, A'Lan became interested, she immediately moved closer and looked at Sun-shi in confusion.
She listened to Sun-shi's words: "He wanted to get married, but he was just a hunter. At a good time, he can catched two wild rabbits, but at the end of the winter, there would be nothing left in the mountain. What can he do? Of all those shrewd people in the village, who would be willing to marry their own daughter to him?"
Saying that, Sun-shi laughed sarcastically.
"That cheap bitch Lin Xiaoye tormented me quite a bit in this family. Since Huo Li gave me a betrothal gift, I might as well just throw this disaster to him."
With that, Sun-shi immediately moved over and said, "Do you know how many betrothal gifts Huo Li gave?"
A'Lan was puzzled as well. She shook her head. "How much?"
Sun-shi extended five fingers, opened her eyes wide and said: "Five taels of silver!"
A'Lan was shocked, "Five taels of silver? He paid five silver taels just for that ugly monster?"

Sun-shi laughed sarcastically: "Isn't that right? From what I see, the two of them are really compatible. One ugly and one stupid, isn't that a good match?"
A'Lan tightened her grip.
Five taels of silver was enough for her to buy a lot of new clothes.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Sun-shi continue to speak: "At the beginning, I was a little regretful, if I had said a few more taels of silver, maybe he would have been able to take it out, but I must say that where could that hunter get so much silver. Moreover, his days aren't even as good as ours. Just see if he doesn't squat after eating a meal."
A'Lan's brows wrinkled together. "Where did he get those five taels of silver from?"
Sun-shi shook her head: "Who knows?"
After saying that, Sun-shi suddenly looked at A'Lan with suspicion: "A'Lan, you're not interested in that hunter, right?"
Hearing that, A'Lan immediately straightened up, feeling guilty.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? How could I possibly have taken a fancy to a hunter? I'm going to marry into a big family and be their Daughter-in-Law."
After saying that, A'Lan lifted her hand to stroke the bun on her head.
Sun-shi, on the other hand, turned her eyes, as if she had thought of something.
"A'Lan, you really don't like Huo Li?"
A'Lan was startled. "Aunt, you…"
On the other side, Lin Xiaoye returned home. Huo Li had already finished cutting the firewood.
"Old Matriarch Hu got a stroke, this disease is really troublesome."
As Lin Xiaoye spoke, she headed towards the kitchen to cook. Unexpectedly, the moment she entered the kitchen, she realized that there wasn't even a wild rabbit today.
"Huo Li, where did you put the wild rabbit?" Lin Xiaoye called out from the door.
Huo Li's hands tightened as he stepped forward and said, "It's cold, all the prey in the mountains have been hiding for winter."
Then, she saw a hint of worry on Huo Li's face.
Lin Xiaoye was stunned, then she looked up at the sky.
It was winter now and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the animals had hidden themselves for winter.
As she thought about it, she suddenly thought of something. She suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"
Huo Li said coldly, "It's going to snow soon."
Snow? Isn't that December? Then wouldn't it be New Year in a while?
Thinking of this, she looked at the environment at home and the silver in her hands. She suddenly felt anxious.
In such a life, how could they live a happy new year? It was hard to even hunt prey now, so it would be a problem whether they could even survive until new year.
This won't do, she had to hurry up and think of a way to earn some money. Besides the business at Boss Zhang's place in town, she also had to think of a way to do part-time jobs, or…
As she was thinking, Lin Xiaoye instantly saw the large cabbage and white radish in the field across from her, and her heart skipped a beat.
That's right, she had always been thinking about how to earn money, but she had forgotten about the good environment in the countryside.
With such a good environment, why not make a meal for yourself and focus on the fruits and vegetables? Even if she couldn't sell it, she wouldn't have to worry about her food, right?
Thinking about this, Lin Xiaoye immediately said happily: "Huo Li, I want to grow some crops, what do you think?"
Hearing that, Huo Li was not as happy as Lin Xiaoye thought he would be, instead, a hint of worry appeared on his face.
He suddenly looked at Lin Xiaoye and pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
Lin Xiaoye looked at his clear eyes and suddenly realized something.
