Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

"I suspected that Yang Xu told Zhuang Mu about Ruoruo\'s secret, and Zhuang Mu killed Yang Xu and put the blame on me and her."

After all, in the eyes of others, the relationship between the two is harmonious, there is no conflict, and there is no reason for the murder.

Li Haitang had recorded everything, and asked Chen Chun not to say anything, so as not to startle the snake, and maybe he would need his cooperation to find clues later.

"Cooperation is a must. No one wants to be treated as a murderer for no apparent reason."

The conversation went on for half an hour, when Li Haitang left, Chen Chun got up to see him off, and gave him a few bolts of good materials from the south, which were difficult to buy with money.

Li Haitang said a few words politely, and told Second Uncle Chen to go straight to Qingshui Village where the Zhuang family lived.

Qingshui Village is located in the outskirts of Beijing, surrounded by a large piece of land, relatively quiet, most of them live in outsiders, and there are many people.

It is not far from the busy city of Kyoto, and it is convenient to go shopping in the city, and the surrounding land is much cheaper.

Many people buy yards around the village and raise some boys and girls, which is cheaper than in the capital.

When Li Haitang came here, he was looking for a woman surnamed Jing whom Li Short Legs had inquired about, known as Jing Qiaozui.

Mrs. Jing does business differently from others, she doesn\'t care about money. I heard that when she was young, she was abducted and sold in a flower house.

Mrs. Jing was grateful for this, and later became a matchmaker. She would not push her subordinates into a fire pit, and tried to find a good family.

Because of her actions, she has a good reputation. Many people who have no family members and have gone out from Mrs. Jing\'s side regard her as their family members and come back to see her from time to time.

In Qingshui Village, everyone is safe and secure, and no one asks about your details. On the one hand, there is no time, and on the other hand, there is no way to inquire. People come in and out every day, and the flow of people is too large.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it attracted people\'s attention. It was heard that they were looking for Mrs. Jing, and someone enthusiastically gave directions.

"Ma\'am, it seems Mrs. Jing is very popular."

Wu Fu thought, there are not many people with a conscience, just like a matchmaker, just to make money, the dead can be said to be alive, not relatives, only business relationships, who cares if you get into a pit of fire?

Li Haitang nodded approvingly, remembering that she bought Sixi at Huangji Dental Shop, the shopkeeper was also a kind person.

The place of arrival was a relatively large farmyard with a black lacquered iron gate at the door.

As soon as Li Haitang got out of the carriage, the door was opened inside, revealing a small head.

"Who are you looking for?"

A five or six-year-old girl looked at Li Haitang, blinked, and asked.

"We\'re here to find Mrs. Jing."

Generally, very few people come to buy at the door, and the rich families always make appointments, and let Mrs. Jing take someone to see them.

Among the matchmaker and the rich family, there may be a middleman who introduces them. If the business is successful, the middleman wants to get some benefits.

Therefore, some families send stewards to lead people directly to the countryside. This is very common.

In ancient times, buying and selling people was legal, forming an industrial chain, and Mrs. Jing was sometimes not at home. It was unfortunate that Li Haitang came at this time. Mrs. Jing went out to buy people, and she would not come back until dark.

"That\'s it!"

It\'s not easy to come here, Li Haitang doesn\'t really want to leave, she asked the little girl, "Then can we go in and wait?"

"That\'s fine."

Unexpectedly, the little girl answered very simply, she opened the iron gate directly, and several girls came out from the yard.

The one at the front is a middle-aged woman whose family is from Qingshui Village. She was hired by Mrs. Jing to help with some private work.

The little girls who are going to be sold have been carefully cultivated, and they will not be used as fire-burning girls in the future. They have to take good care of their hands, not to be rough, and to be proficient in embroidery and so on.

She brought Wufu into the door and asked Second Uncle Chen to find a place to rest.

The courtyard was quiet. After she came, few people came out to look at it. It was normal for these people to have guests at home.

"You are here, but you have something important to do with Mrs. Jing?"

The woman had a bright smile and was very talkative. She lost a man in her early years and left behind a daughter. The daughter married to the next village, and she was the only one left.

Because I felt lonely, I took the initiative to come to Mrs. Jing\'s side to work, just to have someone to chat with me.

Mrs. Jing is a kind person, and she is given two hundred Wen every month. The woman has been doing this for five or six years.

"Yeah, I\'m a foreigner. I\'ve been in the capital not long ago. I heard that Mrs. Jing has a good reputation. The little girl I taught is well-educated and reasonable. I bought a few of them so as not to embarrass myself when socializing."

Li Haitang is a stranger, and her voice has a bit of a northern accent. She didn\'t hide her purpose.

"Then you are in the right place!"

The woman, Balabala, speaking of Mrs. Jing, I can\'t find such a conscientious person nearby anyway. At the beginning, they had a girl, because of her good looks, she was taken by the master of a family and wanted to buy it as a foreign room.

Mrs. Jing saw that the wealthy family had passed their sixtieth year and had a few years to live well. The wife was still in charge of the family, so she refused to agree and lost a lot of money.

Later, the maid was sold to a family and became a maid beside the young master. For some reason, she was favored by the young master and gave birth to an heir.

Mrs. Jing didn\'t agree to the servant girl\'s concubine for the wealthy family, because she didn\'t want her to be a widow at a young age, and finally gave up the benefit of several hundred taels of silver.

It sounds simple, but as a businessman, it is really rare.

"That girl later followed the young master to set up her own family, and the young master was admitted to Juren, and she lived a good life."

The more the woman talked, the more envious she became. Moreover, that maid was very kind to Mrs. Jing, even closer than her own mother. No, with her son and daughter-in-law, she bought a yard in the village and settled down here.

"That boy Zhuang is handsome!"

The woman Balabala said a lot, and Li Haitang rubbed her forehead. Could it be what she thought?

"Really, that must be talented."

Li Haitang answered, and the woman nodded quickly after hearing this, "I heard that it is in the Kyoto Academy, but his wife is pregnant, so she doesn\'t want to study, so she can come back with peace of mind to accompany the delivery."

Anyway, I have already passed the examination of scholar, so I can settle down and wait for two or three years before continuing the examination.

Now, there are a few men who can do this for the wife, how difficult it is!

A few words flashed in Li Haitang\'s mind, Zhuang Mu, Zhuang Ke, pregnant, daughter-in-law... Zhuang Mu must not be married, so they returned to Qingshui Village to find a woman, to hide the truth, and to do things for Zhuang Ke\'s future child. Prepared, or directly concealed Zhuang Ke\'s identity?
