Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 547: Chapter 334: Yang Zhangshi

After lunch, Er Niang gathered a few aunts from the village to go pick pea shoots together.

They’re weighed, one copper coin per pound, how much money you can earn depends on yourself. Moreover, you can’t spoil the pea seedlings or deliberately pick the old ones to make the weight heavier.

When weighing and giving money, they have to check.

The pea shoots need to be picked several times. It was also these aunts in the previous times. If someone’s short by half a pound, just remember, and count it all next time.

In the past, Xiaocao’s mother would also come, but these days she has to care for the piglets, so she sent her eldest daughter Zhang Xiaohua instead.

Don’t underestimate Xiao Hua because of her age, she’s no less capable than her mother in work.

They’ve all worked together several times already, so they’re quite familiar with each other.

Now gathered together, they couldn’t help gossiping, mainly inquiring about Yang Zhang’s affairs, as she kneeled before Liu Bo for half an hour last time.

After all, she is the elder sister-in-law from Zhang Yuan’s wife’s family, and Zhang Yuan and his wife have decent reputations and popularity in the village. Although some things aren’t said explicitly, they are aware of some details.

Besides, they are all from within a ten-mile radius, so how far can one go, really? There are other wives from Xiangmu Village with in-laws on that side too.

So, those scandalous things in Yang Zhang’s husband’s family aren’t something that can be hidden easily.

Of course, everyone knows clearly that Liu Bo is not an ordinary farmer; he’s a grand man from a wealthy family!

Haven’t you seen, when his grandson’s wife was pregnant and nurturing, they specifically built a house in the village and had several people to take care of her?

Seeing Yang Zhang seeking out Liu Bo, everyone had their suspicions and roughly understood why.

After all, besides in Xiangmu Village or in the Jiang family, one might never have the chance to meet such a wealthy grand man in their lifetime.

So, naturally, they asked Er Niang if she knew what Liu Bo said to Yang Zhang.

Er Niang naturally shook her head, expressing that she didn’t know.

”In my opinion, he must have advised her on something. I happened to be near the vegetable field at that time and saw that Yang Zhang looked much calmer afterwards.”

An aunt said with certainty, without slowing down the work in her hands.

Another aunt suddenly called Zhang Xiaohua: ”Xiao Hua, that’s your elder-maternal-aunt, do you know what’s going on?”

Zhang Xiaohua was focused on picking pea shoots and didn’t hear what they were discussing. Being suddenly called out, she looked up blankly.

”Huh? What did you say, auntie?”

The aunt waved her hand helplessly: ”Forget it, with things like these, they certainly won’t tell you kids anything.”

Zhang Xiaohua indeed didn’t pay much attention and continued with her work.

But Er Niang couldn’t help but glance at her a few times, feeling that Xiao Hua seemed different today.

Usually, Xiao Hua also came to work with her mother; although she’s usually quiet, she would still listen to other aunts chatting. She wasn’t as dazed and obviously distracted as she was now.

Could something have happened at home?

Er Niang was a bit worried, but thinking carefully, Zhang Yuan had also returned once at noon, and there was nothing unusual about her expression when she came.

Thinking this, Er Niang simply got up, greeted everyone, and went to their house. As a result, she found that her mother was dozing off outside the pigsty.

When woken up, her first action was to check on the piglets, and seeing they were fine, she then turned her attention to Er Niang.

After chatting for a bit, it turned out to be a big misunderstanding. Nothing was wrong at their house, possibly that Xiao Hua was just not in a good state today.

Since there was nothing wrong, Er Niang felt reassured, continued with her work, and only found out when returning home that Liu Bo’s steward had come.

The steward had been with Liu Bo for many years, and after Liu Bo settled at the Jiang’s last year, he stayed to watch over the house.

Now it’s clear that Liu Bo rarely returns, and taking advantage of the fact that Auntie Yang was also released back to her good name, he simply asked Liu Hongcai for the task of looking after Liu Bo.

Madam Liu is generous. Seeing that he has been with the father-in-law for many years and hasn’t started a family yet and isn’t young either, she generously gave him several silver notes.

It was considered as his accommodation and meal expenses at the Jiang’s, just to keep accompany Liu Bo in fishing and strolling around for his retirement.

Liu Bo doesn’t actually need special care; it’s just that someone needs to accompany him when he goes out for a walk, otherwise they wouldn’t be at ease.

They are all acquaintances, and since the house is big enough, it’s not an issue to accommodate him. Moreover, the steward is experienced, which could be a great chance to teach others at home.

It’s just they didn’t want the meal expenses, but the steward insisted on giving them, saying if not accepted, he wouldn’t stay, planning to sit at the entrance at night. This really left Jiang Hu and Er Niang a bit speechless.
