The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang were both shocked after hearing this.

Liu Wenniang looked at Yan Shu worriedly: "Daughter, did you offend anyone by doing business in Xinyang Mansion?"

Yan Ersheng frowned and said: "The other party sent more than a hundred killers to kill Shu'er. How much hatred does this require?"

Regarding Jiang Ci's identity, Yan Shu couldn't explain it.

"Father, mother, it is not convenient for my daughter to tell you about this matter at the moment. When the time is right, I will explain the whole story clearly."

Yan Ersheng sighed deeply in his heart, "It's not a good idea to keep a daughter in college. Now she has too many little secrets that she can't tell them."

"Don't make things difficult for me, parents. You can just say it whenever you want. I will take a group of people up the mountain to make preparations early tomorrow morning. I still need to say hello to Uncle Seven and the others in advance. Everyone in our village will follow you all the way." Those who escaped have experienced many life-and-death events, and I believe the villagers are still very united."

Yan Shu nodded, and she would go find Liu Hanyue early tomorrow morning. He should be able to find out the recent news from Xilin Guard.

Early next morning

When Yan Shu got up, the sky had just turned gray and it was about five o'clock in the morning. He got up and put on his clothes. Hearing footsteps outside, he walked out curiously.

At this moment, a familiar figure squatted by the well washing something. Yan Shu walked over without thinking.

"Brother, why did you wake up so early?"

There was a sudden voice behind him, and Yan Wen was shocked. He stiffly raised his head and looked at Yan Shu. His face instantly looked like a cooked crab.

Yan Shu lowered his head and glanced into the basin. It looked familiar. He thought carefully about it. Wasn't this the bed sheet from his eldest brother's room yesterday?

amount……

Although her experience was limited, she could roughly guess why the sheets needed to be washed based on her written knowledge.

"Little sister, why did you wake up so early?" Yan Wen quickly hung up the washed sheets to dry.

"Well...your sister-in-law loves to be clean. The weather is too hot and she sweats easily..."

Yan Shu's dark eyes rolled around: "I understand, I got up because it was too hot and couldn't sleep. Is sister-in-law awake?"

Mentioning Xu Shuangxue, a smile appeared on Yan Wen's face unconsciously.

"Not yet. Your sister-in-law didn't get a good rest last night. Let her sleep a little longer."

Yan Shu suppressed a smile and nodded: "Oh, I must be tired, I understand."

Yan Wen's cheeks turned red from suppressing it, and he felt a little embarrassed and hurried back to the house. After Yan Shu washed up, he went out by himself, thinking about going to the back mountain to see how the potato harvest was doing.

Arriving at the foot of the back mountain, I unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Hanyue crossed her arms and stood under a wild peach tree, looking at her quietly.

"The air in the mountains is good. I want to go up there and take a walk."

He guessed that she would go up the mountain today, so he waited here, but she did come.

Yan Shu didn't think much and walked straight to Liu Hanyue: "I happen to be going up the mountain too, let's go together."

"Okay, take me to see how those potatoes are doing."

Yan Shu carried a bamboo basket on his back, which contained a hoe for digging potatoes. The two of them went up the mountain together, walking on a winding mountain road, and finally arrived near the mountainous area they had reclaimed.

"Is this a potato?"

Liu Hanyue glanced at the terraced fields around him curiously. There were green vines pouring out from the ground, which were somewhat different from the food he had in mind.

Yan Shu put the basket beside him, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the hoe from the basket and got down to the ground. She quickly took out the hoe and started digging.

Liu Hanyue was a little surprised to see her doing farm work in a decent manner. He followed her to the field and curiously looked into the pit she dug. A series of gray oval objects emerged from the pit. .

Yan Shu dug out a potato seedling and counted the potatoes hanging on it. There were seven large potatoes hanging on one seedling. Each potato was about three to four taels in size. The harvest was much better than she expected. .

The soil on the mountain is moist. If it weren't for the lack of sunshine caused by the shade of trees, the yield of potatoes in these hundreds of acres would be greater.

Yan Shu put the potatoes in the basket and continued to dig out the next one, five or six in a row. At least four or five potatoes could be hung on one seedling. This result was really satisfying.

Liu Hanyue picked up a potato from the bamboo basket and observed it for a while. This thing was more like a fruit. When the outer skin was peeled off, there was yellow flesh inside, and water could be squeezed out. It didn't look like food at all.

"How do you want to eat this?"

In a short time, Yan Shu dug dozens of potatoes and looked up at Liu Hanyue.

"There are many ways to eat potatoes. You can boil them directly in water, or you can bake them in a fire. They can also be made into many dishes. I will make some dishes for you to try when we get down the mountain."

Liu Hanyue was quite interested: "Okay."

Yan Shu only plowed a few potato seedlings and harvested dozens of potatoes. If she harvested at this rate, she could definitely achieve the one or two thousand kilograms per mu she said.

Thinking of this, Liu Hanyue couldn't help but feel excited. This thing was a magical thing that could change people's livelihood. If it could be promoted throughout Xinyang Mansion, not only would the people's food and clothing problem be completely solved, but the Liu family's 50,000-strong Hebei Army would also be provided with military rations. .

The weather was so hot that Yan Shu was sweating profusely after working in the fields for a while. She wiped her red face with her sleeves and handed the hoe to Liu Hanyue.

"You want to try? The pampered Second Young Master should have never done this kind of work, right?"

Liu Hanyue glanced at the hoe she handed over.

"What's so difficult about this? Look at it!"

Liu Hanyue took the hoe and started digging in a decent manner. Within a few strokes, he reached the potatoes. He damaged five of the eight potatoes in a large seedling.

Yan Shu looked at the chopped potatoes and felt heartbroken.

Liu Hanyue blinked her eyes slightly guiltily: "Ahem... Well, it's inevitable that you made a mistake the first time, and you definitely won't make a mistake next time."

Yan Shu looked at Liu Hanyue with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"If you can't do it, I'll do it."

Liu Hanyue hummed softly and continued to dig out the second potato seedling. This time, she started digging a lot more gently, and finally dug out a complete one. The disadvantage was that it took too long.

Yan Shu looked at this elegant and noble young man and teased: "There are things in this world that the Second Young Master is not proficient in."

Liu Hanyue put the potatoes in her hand into the basket and dried them lightly.

"The second young master is not a god. He has strengths and weaknesses. It seems that he will not be able to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend the rest of his life in the future."

Yan Shu stood in the shade of a tree and looked at him lazily: "You don't seem to be someone who is willing to live in seclusion."

Liu Hanyue took out her handkerchief and wiped the dirt on her fingers, then raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Shuxiao.

"Oh? What kind of person should I be in my sister's mind?"

Yan Shu thought for a while: "The weather is uncertain, and you act decisively. You can be good or evil, all based on your preferences."

"It seems that my sister knows me very well."

Yan Shu rolled his eyes silently in his heart. Isn't this an obvious fact?

"By the way, do you know what happened at Xilin Guard in the past two days?"

Liu Hanyue stopped joking: "I sent Zefeng down the mountain, but I haven't received any news from him yet. If there is any change on the Xilin Guard side, he will send a message over by flying pigeons. I guess they won't wait too long. These two Be more careful at night.”

Yan Shu nodded clearly: "I have asked my father to take people up the mountain to cut down trees and bamboo. The bamboo will be used to make bamboo arrows. What are you going to do with the trees?"

Liu Hanyue pointed to the pile of rubble at the foot of the mountain. When a mudslide occurred in this village, a large number of rock fragments were washed down from the mountain. Now they are piled at the foot of the back mountain.

"See those gravels? I want to make some catapults hidden at the entrance to the village."

Yan Shu's eyes brightened slightly, and he instantly understood Liu Hanyue's thoughts.
