Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 267

After hearing this, Ye Xi didn't say anything else and just ate in silence. Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, the shopkeeper went back to his own business.

Ye Xi observed the accountant while eating. She was indeed very curious.

The other person looked like a scholar, because the elegant scholarly spirit was hard to ignore when he was quietly holding a pen and writing.

Living in such a place, it is reasonable for the skin to become rough, but a sallow complexion is either a sign of malnutrition or illness.

Forget it, what does this have to do with her? How can she control everything in the world?

"Miss, how long are we going to stay here?"

Hongxiu felt a little depressed. This place was too desolate. The food was not good and the accommodation was not comfortable.

"Hong Xiu, do you regret it? I told you to stay at home, but you insisted on coming here. Now that you've suffered, do you regret it?"

Ye Xi teased Hong Xiu. After all, Hong Xiu was young, only fourteen years old, so naturally she still had the mentality of a child.

Hongxiu has been well taken care of by the Ye family in the past few months. She has finally gained some weight and her complexion is a little rosier than when she was first bought.

"Of course not." Hongxiu said and stopped talking.

She was really not good at making excuses, so she could only shut up, and her expression seemed to agree with Ye Xi's statement.

"I haven't finished what I need to do yet, so I can't go back anytime soon. Please bear with me.

If you really don’t like it here, just stay in the inn and we’ll go home when I’m done.”

Ye Xi comforted.

"How long will it take?" Hongxiu asked expectantly.

"I can't say for sure, but I will definitely go back before the New Year."

"That still leaves half a year?" Hongxiu was discouraged.

"What a child." Ye Xi looked at Hong Xiu and smiled.

When Ye Xi went to the fields the next day, he met the old man again. The old man was sighing as he looked at the seedlings in the fields.

Ye Xi felt strange. Although his son told him not to touch the seedlings that day, as a father, what could he do if he touched them?

Can my son beat me?

In this era, filial piety cannot be violated, otherwise you will be drowned in spit.

But on second thought, this spit can't kill anyone after all. Some people are so cruel that they don't care about filial piety.

She walked over curiously and asked, "Uncle... what are you doing?"

Ye Xi almost blurted out the word "uncle", but quickly changed his words, after all, the other person was not a real uncle.

Besides, even if he is really an old man, who doesn’t like to be called younger?

"I, I'm keeping an eye on these seedlings. If they really get bad, I'll have my son come over to take a look."

The uncle was a little at a loss. He had been in prison for a long time and no longer knew how to deal with others. He was usually bullied by others.

"You don't have to keep an eye on them. Just check them regularly. The sun is so strong right now. Be careful not to get sunburned."

"It's okay for me, girls, where are you coming from?"

The uncle asked curiously. Although he had not been outside for a long time, he felt that Ye Xi did not look like a local.

"I, I want to learn how to farm, so I came to take a look first." Ye Xi made up an excuse.

"It's obvious that the girl is the daughter of a wealthy family. Why would she need to learn how to farm? Could it be that she is here to check if the tenant farmers are lazy?" The uncle didn't believe it.

Ye Xi could only smile awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xi would meet the uncle in the fields in the next few days. The other party really was staring at the seedlings every day as he said.

Ye Xi thought that the uncle was really serious about his work.

As she watched the days pass by and her affairs remained unresolved, she became a little anxious.
