Contract Wife Runs away from the CEO

Mi Xiaoying made an envious expression and said, "It's a pity that my brother doesn't have this talent, so he can only farm at home."

"Hey, it's great to be able to plant the land well. I heard that the Zhang family has purchased more and more grain in the past two years!" Sister-in-law Liu said, "In previous years, we only purchased a month's worth of new grain, but this year we even bought the old grain." It’s all gone! No, my parents-in-law went to the mountains to cultivate land. I thought it would be great to buy more food this year to supplement the family income.”

Mi Xiaoying's eyebrows twitched: "Why did the Zhang family collect so much grain this year?"

"Who knows? Anyway, this is a good thing!" Sister-in-law Liu said: "We in Liushen Town have no land tax. The extra land we open is ours, and the food we grow is ours. It turns out that our Liushen Town The only land at the bottom of the mountain is this one, and now several nearby hills have been reclaimed.”

A trace of worry flashed in Mi Xiaoying's eyes, and she asked, "How many years have these lands been cultivated?"

"Hey, this must be two hundred years old, right?" Sister-in-law Liu recalled it and said: "I remember my mother-in-law said that the mountainous land in our family has been passed down for many years. Originally, it was just a mountainous land in our family. Let’s plant sweet potatoes, beans, and the like. Later, more and more people went to the mountains to cultivate land. Gradually, the entire mountain became mountainous, and they were all planted with crops. Fortunately, we had so much land at home. Otherwise, how could we do it? It supports so many people. Sister, your family doesn’t have a large population, right? My family has a lot of people, from my parents-in-law’s generation to my son’s generation, there are more than fifty people in total.”

Mi Xiaoying looked shocked.

This is so fertile!

Is this the birth of a legion?

"We people in Liushen Town are easy to feed. We can live as long as we have food to eat." Sister-in-law Liu may have felt that she was in love with Mi Xiaoying. Ten people have now grown into more than a dozen villages.”

"More than a dozen villages?" Mi Xiaoying's eyes flashed with surprise. Didn't he say there were only a few villages?

"Yes, some villages are remote and live far away. You may not know it." Sister-in-law Liu said; "My parents' home is on the other side of the mountain, dozens of miles away from the town."

Mi Xiaoying couldn't help but ask: "What is the total population of Liushen Town?"

"Who knows?" Sister-in-law Liu said, "There must be some people with a family of seven or eight thousand, right?"

Mi Xiaoying didn't show any surprise, and pretended to be casual and said, "But from what I saw, there weren't that many people there."

"Hey, that's because a lot of people went to Zhangjia to mine and never came back." Sister-in-law Liu said: "There are not more than one or two thousand people who have gone here in pieces over the years?"

"Mining?" Mi Xiaoying's eyes lit up.

"Yeah... don't talk about this matter outside. I have a good relationship with you, so I told you." Sister-in-law Liu said: "I heard that the Zhang family discovered a mine, and they recruit one from the nearby village every year. A group of people went there to mine, and they were given a lot of money! My neighbor’s third son went to mine, and he gave his family more than 20,000 yuan every year! With this money, his family not only built a large I have a tile-roofed house and married my brother to a wife, so my life is very comfortable!"

"Sister-in-law Liu, do you know what kind of mine you are digging?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"I don't know about that." Sister-in-law Liu said, "I've never heard of it!"

Mi Xiaoying wanted to ask again, but she saw someone coming over from the corner of her eye, and immediately changed the subject: "Sister-in-law Liu, what is your best dish? By then, we will be cooking twice. Since the host has left Now that you and I are here, we will work together and strive to continue working here.”

Sister-in-law Liu didn't think too much and went on following Mi Xiaoying's words: "What I'm best at is making noodles, including steamed buns, flower rolls and sesame pancakes."

"Really? That's a coincidence. I'm good at cooking, so we can definitely work together." Mi Xiaoying said, "When you have time, let me try Sister Liu's craftsmanship. Let's learn from each other. My name is Jing. Xiaoying, my husband’s surname is Gu, you can just call me Xiaoying.”

"Okay, sister Xiaoying, we are new here and we will definitely be marginalized by the old people. Let's stick together." Sister-in-law Liu said happily.

"You two -" the housekeeper stopped at a distance, pointed at Mi Xiaoying and Sister-in-law Liu and said, "Come here and see the eldest young master."

"Yes." Mi Xiaoying and Sister-in-law Liu quickly followed, turned around the corridor, passed two courtyards, and arrived at Master Zhang's courtyard.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Mi Xiaoying saw a young man wearing a moon-white gown, sitting in the main room reading a book.

The chief steward went over to report. The man raised his head and his eyes fell precisely on Mi Xiaoying.

"Hurry up and meet the eldest young master," the eldest housekeeper reminded.

Mi Xiaoying and Sister-in-law Liu hurried over and saluted: "I have met the eldest young master."

Young Master Zhang nodded and said: "Since you are left here, do your best. Say what you should say, and keep your mouth shut when you shouldn't."

"yes."

Young Master Zhang looked at Sister-in-law Liu and said, "You go down first."

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned for a moment, and was quickly taken down by the housekeeper.

The corners of Mi Xiaoying's eyes twitched slightly, wondering if this young master had seen a clue about her?

"What's your name?" Young Master Zhang asked.

"My husband's surname is Gu." Mi Xiaoying replied.

"I'm asking what your name is." Young Master Zhang said slightly displeased.

"My name is Jing Xiaoying." Mi Xiaoying replied in a low voice.

"Are you married?" Young Master Zhang asked again, "When did you get married?"

"Half a year ago." Mi Xiaoying's eyes flashed slightly, and she felt that Master Zhang's focus on her was different.

Isn't he doubting his identity?

Young Master Zhang sighed, said nothing more, lowered his head and continued reading.

Mi Xiaoying stood over there, neither walking nor leaving.

Just when Mi Xiaoying was hesitating to leave, Master Zhang spoke: "Pour some tea."

Mi Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that there was no one else in the room, and then she realized that he was giving an order to her.

Mi Xiaoying originally wanted to say that she was a cook, not a maid.

But then I thought about it, isn't Master Zhang competing with the third son of the Zhang family for the right to go out?

Isn’t it really a perfect opportunity to meet the Zhang family?

Maybe Young Master Zhang is the breakthrough point.

Mi Xiaoying immediately turned around, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup of tea gracefully.

Young Master Zhang's eyes were on the book, but his ears were always on Mi Xiaoying.

He could hear Mi Xiaoying's flowing behavior when pouring tea. He didn't even have to look at it to know how pleasing it was.

I really didn't expect that a rural farm girl would have such an elegant temperament. It was really surprising.

It's just a pity that he is already married.

However, now that you have been married, you should be more sensible.

Anyway, I don’t plan to get married, so it’s okay to just have fun.

"Young Master, please have tea." Mi Xiaoying put the tea cup on the table, took two steps back, and prepared to leave.

Young Master Zhang suddenly spoke again: "Being a cook has wronged you."

Mi Xiaoying was startled, not quite understanding what Young Master Zhang meant.

Seeing that Mi Xiaoying was silent, Master Zhang looked up at her and said, "Come to my yard. There is a small kitchen in my yard, and I will leave my three meals to you."

Mi Xiaoying was stunned.

What does he mean?

"Don't worry, I won't bury you." Young Master Zhang looked at Mi Xiaoying arrogantly and said, "Go and prepare. You can move in today."

It wasn't until the housekeeper came to congratulate Mi Xiaoying that Mi Xiaoying realized belatedly that Master Zhang was interested in her.

Mi Xiaoying almost laughed angrily.

She is already walking around as a married woman, but she can still be liked?

Too.

Liushen Town is not subject to external laws at all.

In Liushen Town, the Zhang family is the law and they have the final say.

Don't say that you are married, even if you have a child, they will probably be happy to be selected if they like her.

Mi Xiaoying almost couldn't help but go back and smash Master Zhang's head.

Think about it, for the sake of the mission, I endured it.

It's okay, if you live in Master Zhang's yard, you might be able to get the news up close.

Let him be arrogant for a few days!

"Sister Sakura, this room is your place to rest. In addition to three meals a day, you also have to take care of the young master's tea and refreshments." A girl wearing a pink pinch-waist brocade coat, a light purple horse-faced skirt, and a double bun The little girl came in with a pile of clothes: "This is your case."

Mi Xiaoying glanced at her and said, "I'm just here to be the cook."

"Sister Xiaoying, don't be ignorant." The little girl raised her chin and said, "The eldest young master wants to inherit the Zhang family."

Mi Xiaoying was speechless.

"My name is Shuanghuan. I live next door to you. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Shuanghuan put down his things and turned around and left.

Mi Xiaoying shook her head. There were really not many people in this world who dared to treat her as a maid.

Young Master Zhang, you have the guts.

Mi Xiaoying put on her clothes resignedly, opened a box of gouache on the table, smelled it, and confirmed that it was a very ordinary bottle of liquid foundation sold in supermarkets in the outside world.

But it’s probably not cheap here.

Haha, women make the best money.

Mi Xiaoying didn't use the liquid foundation given by the Zhang family, and she didn't intend to rely on her beauty to please Master Zhang, so she went to work in the small kitchen without a face.

"Sister Xiaoying." Shuanghuan appeared again and said: "The young master is going to have dinner with me tonight. After you prepare it, put it in a lunch box and deliver it to my yard."

"Uncle?" Mi Xiaoying immediately realized that she must be talking about the eldest son of the Zhang family, and immediately said: "Okay, I will prepare now."

As the eldest son of the Zhang family, the eldest son of the Zhang family has lost the freedom to enter and leave Liushen Town. You must be very unwilling to accept these twenty years, right?

That's why he asked his son to compete with the third son of the Zhang family for entry and exit qualifications this year.

It seems that not everyone, even the Zhang family, can come and go freely.

Otherwise, why would they be so tense in order to compete for a qualification?

So, what is it that blocks their freedom of entry and exit?
