Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"I hate it, Daddy will bully me."

Holding his neck, the little bun kept acting like a spoiled child. In just a few days, he slowly regained the innocence and liveliness that a five-year-old should have.

"Really? Don't you want to eat it? What should I do? I also want to say that I'll give you some water to drink when it's done."

Raising his eyebrows, Ling Jingxuan gave him a sideways look, making it difficult, and the little bun was in a hurry and said quickly, "Who said I don't want to eat it, I..."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing his eager appearance, Ling Jingxuan broke his power instantly and laughed out loud, even Ling Jingpeng couldn't help laughing along.

"I hate it, daddy bullies me again."

Finally knowing that he was being teased, the little bun pursed his lips and pushed him away, glared at him fiercely with his arms folded over his chest, isn't that puffed up like a bun?

Ling Jingxuan pinched his face involuntarily, and said calmly, "Is he the iron boy you often talk about?"

"Well, Daddy, he is Tie Wazi. His name is Zhao Tiesheng, and he lives at the end of the village. Today, Uncle Zhao and the others went to the town to deliver iron tools. Tie Wazi is at home alone, so I asked him to come to our house to play."

Resolutely forgetting that he was still angry, the little bun pulled the shy and introverted boy to Ling Jingxuan.

"Hello, Uncle Ling."

Zhao Tiesheng glanced at Ling Jingxuan timidly, and hid behind Ling Wu shyly. Uncle Ling sounded like a mosquito chirping. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear it. However, Ling Jingxuan was very happy. As for Baozi's only friend, he, the father, naturally wants to love Wujiwu.

"Good boy, Xiao Wu, take Tiewazi to find brother to play with, and I'll send it to you when the jam is ready."

Reaching out to touch the heads of the two children, Ling Jingxuan patted the little bun on the butt. Compared with the stingy big bun who is serious about everything, the little bun is undoubtedly more lazy, but he runs with him seriously every morning. Boxing, and now he has added calligraphy. If possible, he hopes that the big buns can do the same. After all, they are only five years old, right?

"Um."

Nodding his head, the little bun bent over and hugged the cub who was grinning at Ling Jingxuan, pulled up Tie Wazi and turned to leave. Ling Jingxuan watched them leave before turning around to take over the stirring job: "Is the Zhao family an outsider?"

Not everyone in Lingjia Village has the surname Ling. According to the original owner's memory, it seems that there are dozens of outdoor households, and Zhao's family is one of them. As for the others, he doesn't know much about them.

"Well, but the Zhao family is different from other foreign households. Brother Zhao's parents died early, and his daughter-in-law died during childbirth. A few years ago, he was a father and a mother pulling Tiewazi, and he lived a good life. It was very difficult, but fortunately, although the Zhao family did not have much land, Big Brother Zhao had the skill of blacksmithing, and it was acceptable. But... Big Brother Zhao suddenly married Big Brother Han three years ago. It's ridiculous, I'm afraid it will lose the face of Lingjia Village, the patriarch and the second grandfather will re-designate them a piece of homestead, euphemistically called Jiāo change, in fact, they are basically driven out of the village, these years Tiewazi also Just like Xiaowen and the others, they are bullied wherever they go, which is pitiful."

It is difficult to be a foreigner, plus they are two men getting married, not to mention the difficulty.

"Hmph, it's just a rural area. It's like a big family. Do you really think you're a giant?"

Ling Jingxuan couldn't help sneering, the emperor still married a man to be the queen, what about them? Although it is really rare for a man to marry a man, it is generally seen in high-profile families, and most of the men who marry into the house are concubines, but it is not uncommon in the countryside. When the son is married, he can exchange two pieces of silver to support the family. Some widowers have children, but because they are too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, they will marry a man and go back to help take care of the children and manage the housework. Basically, this is the case in every village. I have never heard of anyone looking down on others because of this, or even feel ashamed of them. Lingjia Village is really the best of the best.

Chapter 023 Financial power, poor Ling Jingxuan

The remaining wild grapes boiled just three jars of jam, Ling Jingxuan left one jar for the children to eat, and the remaining two jars were sealed with white cloth and immersed in the crescent spring water, ready to take to the market tomorrow. After selling them, Ling Jingxuan returned to the house after bathing the two steamed buns in the evening, and watering the wild grape branches and pear branches in the front yard.

"What's wrong? Are you not tired of counting every day?"

The two steamed buns sat cross-legged on the bed facing each other, with a string of copper coins threaded with twine in the middle. The two of them were counting by the moonlight. Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly. The behavior is completely speechless.

"How can it be possible? This is how much. If I could, I would like to count the money every moment."

Only at this time, the big bun is surprisingly innocent, so innocent that only money can be seen.

"Uh... I think you can easily get into Qian's eyes."

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, Ling Jingxuan was unable to touch his forehead, who has seen love like this before?

"I do think so."

Unaware of his father's speechlessness, the big bun looked at him excitedly with the money in his arms: "Father, guess how many coins we have saved?"

"How many?"

Ling Jingxuan lifted his eyelids lazily and poured out a bowl of herbal tea for himself. Can he say that now he shivers when he hears Xiao Baozi talking about money?

"It's almost nine dollars. It's all my fault that Dad bought too many things today, otherwise there must be a tael of silver."

In the end, big

Steamed Bun glared at him with infinite resentment. Until now, he still cares about the money for buying the jars. Who knows if the wine he brews can make money.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan, who was drinking water, was so upset that he almost choked to death, the two buns quickly got down and patted him on the back.

"Dad, are you alright?"

The little bun was okay, he looked at him worriedly with his shining eyes while patting the back, the big bun was...

"Father, you said that you are not too young, why do you still choke after drinking water?"

Could I choke if it wasn't for you?

Hearing his little-adult-like talk, Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes, wishing he could find a noodle thread to hang himself, he is such a useless father!

"Cough... Okay, I'm fine."

After finally recovering, Ling Jingxuan tried his best to shake off the 'psychological shadow' caused by the big bun, and after wiping his mouth, he looked at the big bun and said, "Xiao Wen, I plan to go to the county town to go to the fair tomorrow, the second uncle's There are still a few herbs left in the prescription, and it’s time to buy some things at home, and by the way, I also want to buy a few sets of clothes, let’s…”

"Father, what are you doing? Why do you keep thinking about spending money all day long? Is it easy for us to save that little money? How many times have I told you that this money is for urgent use, why don't you listen to it? Lie? How can you live like this? Even if there are gold and silver mountains in our family, we can't stand your expenses like this, Dad, just stop for a while, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the big bun interrupted him sharply, his thin face turned into a pig's liver color, his big round eyes stared at him fiercely, and a long string burst out from his mouth like chanting scriptures. As if he had done some heinous things, Ling Jingxuan was dumbfounded, he... dare to let him finish?

What the father and son didn't know was that their conversation was passed into the ears of the man who was recovering from the wound next door, and the man curled his lips, showing a smile and longing that he didn't even notice on his face, even in his heart. I vaguely felt that it would be nice to have such a daughter-in-law and child.

"...Dad, listen to me, you don't live like this, we have to be thrifty, I have no objection if you want to buy medicine for the second uncle, and the rest will not be used. It's not that there is nothing at home, and our clothes are also I can still wear..."

"Stop! Xiaowen, can I promise not to move your copper plates?"

The big bun's chatter continued, Ling Jingxuan ruffled his hair irritably, and shouted out unbearably, mother, if he wants to take back the financial power, he must.

"Uh...that can be considered."

The two buns froze for a moment, seeming to have sensed his anger. Big bun blushed and looked unnaturally averted, while little bun took his hand and looked at Ling Jingxuan in a timid way. Yelling at them for the first time was somewhat unaccustomed to them.

"Cough...then what, sorry, I didn't mean to."

Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan let out a low curse, pulled them over to apologize in a warm voice, the two buns lowered their heads and said nothing, their little hands tightly twisted together, apparently not accepting his comfort, Ling Jingxuan said helplessly, "Dad really isn't. Intentionally, Xiaowen, I know that our family is poor, and we should save money, but your way of saving everything is not right. Isn’t making money just to live a better life? It’s reluctant to eat and wear, isn’t it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?”
