Chapter 28: Who to Marry

What do you mean by not doing any work and running to town all day?

The people in the village aren't unaware that when their mother and daughter separated and broke off kinship with the Li family, they were almost penniless and didn't get any fields.

"If Auntie envies it, you can also not do any work and go to the mountain to pick up a wolf yourself." Facing Wang Shen's picking, Jiang Wei only replied indifferently.

Hearing this, Wang Shen pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, carrying her bucket and turning away.

"This person is so annoying." Jiang Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice.

"A clown, don't worry about her." Jiang Wei glanced coldly at the back that had gone far away, without saying much.

As soon as the mother and daughter arrived home, they put down their things and started cooking.

As usual, they cooked big white rice, stir-fried shredded meat with beans, cold cucumber, and boiled a pot of winter melon bone soup.

Winter melon clears heat and relieves heat, which is just right for eating in the summer.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Wei carried a firewood knife to the bamboo forest behind the courtyard and cut some bamboo back to build a chicken coop.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled some green grass near the house and cut it into pieces to feed the chickens and sheep.

When the sun set behind the mountain, Jiang Wei not only built the chicken coop but also built a simple sheep shed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed that her mother's hands-on ability was strong, and at the same time, she used her fingers to release some water to feed the chickens and sheep.

Seeing the water, the seven chickens rushed up to eat the water.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao specially released more water for the listless milk goat.

After the milk goat drank the water, it seemed to be much more energetic, stretching out its tongue to lick her hand.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and touched the milk goat's head, saying: "You are full and satisfied, you must produce more milk for my family in the future."

Jiang Wei was on the side whittling the wooden sticks for making popsicles with a firewood knife, and couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

In fact, she didn't expect this milk goat to produce much goat milk after buying it.

Whether it is cow milk or goat milk, she has plenty in her space.

When she was in the apocalypse, she emptied the cold storage of more than 20 supermarkets, and all kinds of dairy products, meat, aquatic products, poultry, fruits and vegetables, and cold drinks were piled up like mountains.

The storage of milk in her space is even tens of tons, which can't be finished at all.

The reason why she bought this milk goat back was because the milk for making ice cream and popsicles at home needed a source, and this milk goat was bought just to make a show for outsiders.

By the next day, Jiang Wei began to make popsicles.

The method of making popsicles is much simpler than ice cream, just pour glutinous rice, sugar, and milk into the pot and boil it.

Boil it slowly with low heat, stir constantly to avoid burning the pot, and when it boils and becomes sticky and the glutinous rice becomes transparent, take the pot down and let it cool.

Filter it several times with gauze, and the finished popsicle will be more dense.

After finishing all this, Jiang Wei collected the popsicles into the space in one breath, and waited for two days to get the molds back from town before freezing them.

At the same time.

Lao Li family.

Ever since Li Shoude brought home the ten taels of silver in his bosom yesterday, the Li family hasn't been peaceful.

The whole family gathered in the main room, and no one went to the fields.

"Shoude, is what you said true?"

The Li Family Old Man knocked on the tobacco pipe in his hand and asked again, still a little uncertain: "Does the Huang family really only require the daughter-in-law to be a maiden?"

"Yes, Father!" Li Shoude nodded excitedly, then turned his head and looked at Li Xiufen, who was huddled in the Li Old Woman's arms, with a meaningful look, "Mother, no matter how old the girl is, she can marry into the Huang family as a daughter-in-law. Xiufen is blessed!"

"Humph, don't you dare have ideas about my daughter!" The Li Old Woman hummed, "You haven't said what hidden illness the Huang Family Young Master has!"

"Hey, Mother, didn't I tell you, the Huang family invited a brilliant physician who has cured the young master's illness. In the future, he can marry a wife and have children normally!"

As he spoke, Li Shoude said again: "In the past, his family insisted on marrying a seven or eight-year-old girl, wasn't it because they were afraid that the young master's illness hadn't been cured and he would hurt his body when having intercourse, so they only wanted young girls."

When Li Shoude mentioned having intercourse, the women in the room lowered their heads shyly.

Only the Li Old Man opened his mouth with some disapproval: "Then you shouldn't have accepted the silver directly..."

Hearing his father's reprimand, the smile on Li Shoude's face faded instantly: "Then Father, have you prepared the twenty taels of silver for me to take the examination in the state?"

The Li Old Man was silent.

The Li Old Woman opened her mouth angrily: "Humph, anyway, you are not allowed to have ideas about your sister! Xiufen is still young, and she needs to stay by my side for a few more years!"

"Oh my, Mother, the younger sister is already fifteen years old, not young anymore. Girls of this age are already married as wives!"

Sun Shi hurriedly stood out and said, "The younger sister will be eating spicy food and drinking spicy food after marrying into the Huang family, and you will also enjoy the blessings in the Huang family."

"Pah, why don't you let your daughter marry over!" The Li Old Woman's pair of slanted triangular eyes immediately fell on Li Jinbao on the side.

Li Jinbao shrank her neck and silently hid behind Sun Shi.

Sun Shi hurriedly pulled out a smile and said: "Mother, I'm doing this for the younger sister's sake. The younger sister marries a good family, and you will also enjoy the blessings."

"Jinbao's marriage is not urgent, wait until I pass the scholar examination."

Li Shoude looked at the Li Old Man again and said earnestly: "Father, do you still want me to pass the scholar examination?"

His future is all pressed on the Huang family's line!

After the last incident fell through, he originally thought he could only completely break off the relationship with the Huang family, but he didn't expect the Huang family to suddenly contact him again, asking him to find a maiden to marry in, no matter who it was.

Although he didn't know the reason why the Huang family suddenly changed the conditions, this was undoubtedly the last chance Heaven gave him, and he absolutely couldn't miss it again!

"Sigh, Shoude..." The Li Old Man looked at Li Xiufen on the kang, and then looked at Li Jinbao hiding behind Sun Shi, and sighed: "You make the decision for this matter yourself!"

Obviously, he had handed over the matter to Li Shoude completely. Whether it was marrying Li Xiufen or Li Jinbao, he didn't care.

"Okay, Father!" Li Shoude finally smiled again. "The remaining ten taels will be given to us by the Huang family after the daughter-in-law enters the door. When I pass the scholar examination this time, I will definitely not forget the help of everyone in our Lao Li family!"

At night.

In the east room.

Sun Shi wiped her tears and said hatefully in a low voice: "I don't care, let the younger sister marry over. My daughter will not marry that Huang Family Young Master!"

"Hey, why don't you even believe my words!" Li Shoude showed displeasure on his face and directly lifted the quilt and buried his head to sleep.

Anyway, this marriage has been set. Whether it is Li Xiufang or Li Jinbao, it is the same for whoever marries over.
