Chapter 249: Something Fishy_1
Previously, for fear of provoking Landlord Wang into reclaiming his land and causing the people of Jiuping Village to be unable to rent any land from Landlord Wang—thus harboring resentment towards his family—they had to accept selling a daughter without receiving a single coin;
Lately, when someone in the village stole fish and was caught by Wang Youbao, Wang Youbao repossessed all the land rented to Jiuping Village on behalf of Landlord Wang. Since the land had already been taken back, and it wasn’t his family’s fault, why should they be afraid? Thus, he once again considered asking An Jing and Xiao Changyi for the bride price, yet, remembering how Xiao Changyi had once severely injured twelve villagers, he was afraid that Xiao Changyi might grievously harm him too, and instantly abandoned the thought;
Now, he knew that Xiao Changyi and An Jing still had connections with the County Grandpa—their marriage certificates were personally stamped by him. Moreover, with government officials patrolling the village every day to prevent disturbances, he dared not provoke this couple even more.
His son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law were also afraid to cause trouble.
One could say that no one in Jiuping Village dared to provoke these two anymore.
As Lin Daqiang carried firewood towards Jiuping Village, he sighed in his heart with a mix of resignation and bitterness: Forget it, he might as well pretend he never had a daughter, and just had Lin An Dong as his only son!
But no matter how resigned and bitter Lin Daqiang was, An Jing and Xiao Changyi couldn’t care less.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi simply continued to work their land, and when tired, rested together, drank water, and rested. Their life seemed mundane, yet they found these days particularly comfortable, free, and sweet.
"Husband, by the end of the month we should be able to harvest the peanuts and sweet potatoes from this acre of land, right?" An Jing asked Xiao Changyi, standing in front of the acre of mountain land they had first started cultivating.
