The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 553 Confidential

Mu Yangling directly borrowed the produce from the field, because there were few people in the village, and the yield from the wasteland was enough.

Villagers who needed to borrow food came to their door one after another, and after signing the contract, they went home with a few bags of food on their backs, because Mu Yangling and the others had always been unattainable in the hearts of the villagers, and except for Chen Ming who was still in contact with them, they rarely saw the mansion people in the yard.

The fourth grandma would occasionally take her two children for a walk at the foot of the mountain, and seldom went to the middle of the village to play, because of the distance, so she was in awe.

Borrowing grain, the interest is only a few acres of land. The villagers think it is a good deal, and they have a subtle feeling of taking advantage of the landlord's family. Therefore, although Zhu's family is still unattainable in their hearts, they also feel close. few.

And as the weather gets colder and colder, people who carry things to the village to exchange food will occasionally pass by this small mountain village.

Of course, the villagers will not exchange the life-saving food, but they will point the people who come to exchange the food to go to Zhujia to have a look.

As a result, Mu Yangling received some chickens and ducks one after another, and even cattle and sheep began to be sent here later.

Although Mu Yangling will not exchange all of them, but most of them will exchange food with the other party. Seeing this, the villagers took out eggs and other things at home and exchanged food with Mu Yangling and the others. Now Chen Ming went to the market. The time is greatly reduced, because except for some more expensive ingredients, they can find useful things in the exchange.

"Have the grain shops in the town raised their prices?" Mu Yangling asked.

"It has increased a little, but the strange thing is that it has not increased much," the guard said together, "I thought it would increase a lot."

"It seems that they don't want this small place to fall into chaos." Mu Yangling pondered, then turned around and asked Chen Ming to exchange things for someone in a small broken house at the entrance of the village.

"You transport the food there every day, and you can exchange it for them when you encounter something that can be exchanged, instead of bringing people here all the time."

"Only five bags of food can be exchanged out every day, and there will be no more. Go."

The guards breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were not many villagers who came to exchange food every day, they were in twos and threes, and their security was under great pressure.

Because Mu Yangling and the others didn't make any special publicity, although there were word of mouth from the villagers, not many people came, most of them were people from a few nearby villages, because the road was blocked by falling snow, they didn't want more people in their hearts They came to exchange food, so the news only spread among a few nearby villages. After all, the Zhu family had begun to limit the amount of food exchanged every day, which showed that they did not have a lot of food.

And with the passage of time, the number of people who exchanged food gradually decreased, and finally settled down to seven or eight people a day. They knew that Zhujia didn’t care about anything, as long as they liked it, they would change it. Sometimes they would find a handful of fungus in the mountains. They can exchange a handful of grain when they come here, so they don’t exchange much grain every time. At the beginning, some people exchanged their chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep for the whole bag of grain, and then they went up the mountain to find some novelty things to send. , accumulate more or less.

For example, because of the cold weather, the only vegetables that can be eaten are cabbage stored in the cellar, but even if someone can grow radish seedlings around a piece of land, they pull some out every day to exchange for some food to go back. Exchange grain for radish seedlings.

Because the change in the future is relatively fragmented, the five bags of grain per day are reduced to two bags. When there are few people, Mu Yangling will take the two children for a walk at the foot of the mountain to let them breathe.

This year's Chinese New Year, the villagers are much more enthusiastic than before. Many people send gifts to their homes. Although they are all ordinary things, Mu Yangling and the others may not even know how to eat them, but they always have a heart.

After Mu Yangling thought about it, he asked Chen Ming's family to prepare two or three catties of grain, plus some cabbage and potatoes, as a return gift, and Lizheng and the village chief had more, with two extra pieces of meat.

This year's Chinese New Year, because of the difficulties, few families will cut the meat. In previous years, the village would kill one or two pigs to share the meat.

Mu Yangling and the others killed two pigs, but they had twenty-three guards alone, not to mention the servants who waited on them, so two pigs are not too many, but this does not stop the envy of the villagers outside .

The village chief and Li Zheng who got two pieces of meat both had a much better impression of Mu Yangling.

During the Chinese New Year, the children went door to door to pay New Year's greetings. When they arrived at Zhu's house, a group of children looked like they were praying at the door. Mu Yangling asked Chen Ming's family to take out a basket of candies to share with them. He just smiled and said, "Fourth grandma loves the children so much, why not let them come in to play, the second young master and the fourth young master also have companions."

Mu Yangling, who was still smiling all over his face, put away his smile and looked at Chen Ming's family. The Chen Ming family's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up and bowed his head to stand still, explaining: "I also see that there are only two young masters in the family, so it is inevitable that I will be lonely, so..."

"You don't need to worry about this," Mu Yangling interrupted her, "Take out the things and share them with the children."

Chen Ming's family bowed their heads and took out the candies.

She was very annoyed in her heart, and she knew she would not mention this. The master's family has repeatedly stated that the affairs of the mansion are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world, including the size of the yard, how many rooms there are, and how many servants there are. After half a year, she understood that the background in the mansion must be not simple, among other things, those guards were not like ordinary people.

There is also the grandma of the housekeeper, who is so majestic that she does not want ordinary people, even the female family members of the official family are nothing more than that, how can she look like a family member in business?

This fourth grandma is approachable, and even likes to plant vegetables in the field herself, but she has a sullen face when she sees her talking to the guards several times, and she just looks at her, and her casual glance makes her feel cold.

I don't know if the fourth grandma will be angry at her for bringing up such an idea, so she won't turn around and drive her out, right?

Chen Ming's family absent-mindedly distributed candies to the children who came to pay New Year's greetings, and after sending them away, they hurriedly went to find the head of the family, full of sorrow, and said: "The head of the house, fourth grandma won't get angry and drive me out, right?"

Chen Ming was also a little annoyed, and cursed in a low voice: "Why are you so out of your wits? Look at how many times the master has said that we are not allowed to gossip when we have been here for a long time. How dare you mention bringing those half-children into the door? Every time the village chief and Li Zheng come, they can only sit in the flower hall in the front yard, and they don't even have a clear view of the yard. You, you, I think it's the fourth grandma who is so approachable and pampered you..."

Chen Ming's family panicked: "Then, then I'll go beg Fourth Grandma again, kowtow to beg her not to be angry."

"Shut up," Chen Ming glared at her, "Fourth grandma hates this kind of thing the most, you still dare to do it, haven't you already admitted your mistakes before? Don't mention this matter again, just be cautious in your words and deeds in the future."

"By the way, you didn't go out and tell the women in the village about our master's house, did you?" Chen Ming looked at his wife suspiciously.

"No, no," Chen Ming's family hurriedly waved their hands and said, "They did ask how many people live in my house and what they eat every day, but I didn't answer and changed the topic."

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, at least he wasn't too stupid.
