At first, Ji Jiuye was still angry and sat far away from Yun Xi, trying not to touch her.
But as the horse's running speed increased, the horse's back was not as smooth as it was at the beginning, and became extremely bumpy.
As a result, he crashed forward uncontrollably, tightly fitting into the soft body in front of him.
This was his first time riding a horse. At such a speed, he was a little worried that he would fall. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the corner of her clothes very spinelessly.
After noticing his movement, Yun Xi's lips curled up very quickly, and the next moment, the horse's speed became faster.
Soon, the horse entered the village.
The powerful sound of four hooves on the ground attracted the eager attention of the villagers. For many years, this was the first time that the villagers saw a horse-drawn carriage in the village. It was as rare as the cars that appeared in the countryside in the 1960s.
When the villagers recognized that the two people on the horse were Ji's eldest son and his newly married eldest daughter-in-law, they were all stunned and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
As we all know, the Ji family is not rich. They can barely fill their stomachs on weekdays. They have no food left and live in a dilapidated adobe house. But why is Ji's eldest son still riding a horse today
This horse is a valuable animal. Only wealthy families can afford it. Ordinary people cannot afford it even if they are given one for free.
The villagers were talking privately about the origin of the horse. Most people thought that the horse should be rented or borrowed.
After returning home, as expected, Erbao and Yaya were full of curiosity about the horse, but Li was just as surprised as the villagers about the horse's origin.
When she learned that the horse was bought by Yun Xi, Li was shocked and speechless.
I just gave her fifty taels of silver to build a new house yesterday, and today I bought another horse. This daughter-in-law of hers is really amazing.
Yun Xi ignored Li's complicated and unspeakable feelings, gave Li the things she bought from the town, and asked her to talk to the village chief about the homestead.
When Mrs. Li saw the gift she had prepared for the village chief, she felt a sudden pain in her body.
It is not uncommon for people to ask for help in the village, but this is the first time their family has given such a generous gift like hers.
Although Mrs. Li's body ached, she didn't say anything. These things were all prepared by Yun Xi, and Yun Xi must have known about them.
If she intervened, she might arouse Yun Xi's resentment.
After so many days, Li had already realized that Yun Xi was a capable person, so Li kept telling herself not to criticize anything Yun Xi did.
Li took her things to the village chief's house, while Ji Jiuye was chopping firewood in the corner of the yard, with a sullen face and an absent-minded look.
Yun Xi glanced at him and led the horse to the wasteland behind the house.
The horse hasn't eaten for most of the day, so it's time to eat. The wasteland over there is full of green grass, which is perfect for feeding the horse.
Ji Jiuye had been waiting for Yun Xi's explanation, but he didn't expect that it was just that she didn't wait for her explanation. She actually led the horse away.
Damn woman…
Ji Jiuye became more and more angry, his arms chopping firewood became stronger and stronger, and his whole body exuded a strong anger.
Even Erbao and Yaya, who were playing in the yard, noticed this anger. The brother and sister stopped and looked at Ji Jiuye in tacit understanding.
Watching his action of chopping firewood, the two little brothers couldn't help but tremble violently.
Brother, what's going on
Those who knew said he was chopping firewood, but those who didn’t knew thought he was trying to chop people. It’s so scary...
After chopping the firewood, Ji Jiuye went to the kitchen without saying a word, picked up a bucket and went to fetch water.
Now, he couldn't stop for a moment. As long as there was nothing to do, he couldn't help but grab the woman and force her to give him an explanation.
Yun Xi's mother's family and Song Jingnan were from the same village. They were childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, Ji Jiuye and Song Jingnan were classmates.
There are always some secret private matters discussed among classmates. Therefore, Ji Jiuye also heard a little bit about the past between Song Jingnan and Yun Xi.
However, he never cared.
When he listened to others discussing those things privately, he felt as if he was talking about two strangers.
But things are different now.
When he saw Song Jingnan look at Yun Xi with his eyes like that before, and when he told her about the love words she once said to Song Jingnan, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was chilled.
A strong jealousy and anger arose uncontrollably in her heart, and she wished that Song Jingnan could disappear completely from now on.
The resentment in his heart could not be resolved, so Ji Jiuye had to find other ways to resolve it.
He worked tirelessly to chop firewood and carry water tirelessly. He carried it again and again and filled all the water tanks at home, but he still felt that it was not enough.
He went to the old lady's house at the end of the village and helped her carry water.
The grandma's son died of illness very early, leaving only one grandson to depend on the grandma. Unfortunately, the grandson was also taken away by the compulsory military conscription a few years ago.
Nowadays, the old woman is old and there is no strong labor force in the family, so her life is very pitiful.
The villagers in the village are not rich, so they cannot help the old lady much with food and drink, but for coolies such as carrying water, almost all the men in the village take turns to help.
Before Ji Jiuye's leg was injured, he often went to help the old lady hoe the ground and carry water, but since the leg injury, he couldn't even take care of himself and stopped going.
Thinking that he hadn't been to Grandma Li's house for a long time, Ji Jiuye took two buckets of water and turned to the end of the village.
the other side.
Yun Xi led the horse to the wasteland and let it eat by itself, while she lay on the tree, thinking about the tragic experience of the original owner in the original plot.
All the misfortunes of the original owner were actually caused by one man, and that man was Song Jingnan.
Of course, she also bears a lot of responsibility for her own confusion.
The original owner and Song Jingnan were from the same village, and Song Jingnan had been different from the boys in the village since he was a child.
While other boys were still playing in the mud, Song Jingnan had already passed the Tongsheng examination with books in hand.
The original owner was the daughter of a scholar. Under the influence of Yun Xiucai, she stayed away from the illiterate rough guys in the village. On the contrary, she had a great impression of the gentle and literate scholars.
So, when Song Jingnan showed his kindness to her, she was moved by love.
As she grew up, her feelings for Song Jingnan became deeper and deeper, so deep that she could not hide them. Finally, Yun Xiucai found out.
Yun Xiucai was so angry that he was half dead, but who told her that this was his daughter
He had no choice but to suppress his temper and persuade the original owner to break up with Song Jingnan, and warned the original owner that she was engaged to be engaged.
But the original owner didn't listen. He cried and asked Yun Xiucai to go to Ji's house to regret the marriage. He also said that he only liked Song Jingnan. At that time, the original owner was completely confused by Song Jingnan.
