Chapter 386 Another Woman? !
While Yiyi was still feeling distressed for Xinxin and Nian Nian who had to bear so much since childhood, what Ling Wuxin told her next made her even more shocked.
"The villagers have a good harvest this year, and they want to celebrate the harvest festival. They will invite us to attend the celebration!" Ling Wuxin drank a bowl of meat porridge before speaking. He also considerately tore off a small piece of bone meat for his daughter Xinxin to feed her mouth, causing Xinxin to smack her lips while her round eyes kept following the movements of her father's hands. If the movements were a little slow, she would remind him out loud.
"Harvest Festival? Everyone is busy making bacon now, where is this huge event?" Yiyi was surprised. They were so busy, and they also had to organize the Harvest Festival activities. They must be too busy to handle it.
"It's not us, it's the villagers. They are the people who live around our village. They are my people. They live with their families and are responsible for cultivating the fields. The fields they cultivate also belong to us. It's just that I only collect half of them and put them into the warehouse, and the rest is at their disposal." It was the first time that Yiyi heard this. She thought that the villagers were the people who lived with them in this area and were responsible for agricultural planting. It turned out that there was another circle outside the villa.
"How many... villagers are there left?" Yiyi asked after a moment of hesitation.
"It's all within a ten-mile radius. We should expand it further this year!" Ling Wuxin said calmly. Yiyi didn't expect that when she first drifted here, she was warned that the ten-mile radius was their territory and they were told not to run away. This was actually true? !
"Well...are you inviting us to go together? Or can you men just go!" Yiyi never thought that her husband would tell her this even after they already had a son or a daughter. She always thought that the villa where they lived was their territory, which was big enough and strong enough. She didn't expect that her man had set up circle after circle of defense lines outside.
"Not all of you will go together. Only you and I will go, and An's family will go, but the rest won't. Tomorrow the villagers will organize people to come and learn and exchange methods of making bacon for the winter. I heard that many housewives will come, so you will receive them then!" Ling Wuxin assigned Yiyi another reception task. Yiyi was shocked by this unexpected request. She had been living a simple and comfortable life of taking care of her husband and children. Now she was suddenly assigned a reception task, which made her feel completely at a loss. She didn't know how to receive them.
"My dear, don't panic. You are the mistress of the house. Just receive them in the threshing ground. They are here to learn a skill and they are not guests." Ling Wuxin taught his wife patiently, and Xinxin also calmed down and looked at her mother.
"Really no special arrangements are needed? Oh, okay, I get it, just keep everything as usual! Um...will there be any good-looking girls? Want to take the opportunity to marry an elite in the village?" Yiyi finally accepted the task, but her thoughts were distracted by other things.
"There may be good-looking aunts, but there may not be good-looking sisters. When I was young, I attended their wedding banquets several times. After growing up and traveling around, I seldom went there. There have always been stewards in charge. The steward reported that the villagers' living and living conditions have improved a lot in the past year, so they took advantage of the Harvest Festival to let us go for a walk and have a look." Ling Wuxin understood what his little wife was thinking and couldn't help but smile dotingly. He used to keep all mundane affairs out of her way to relieve her of all worries. Now that the time is right, within the scope of his proper management, he is willing to let his wife get in touch with some affairs, create opportunities for her to grow, and enhance her status in the hearts of his subordinates. As the saying goes, the status of a wife is determined by her husband's behavior! Outside, his wife, Ling Wuxin, should be on an equal footing with him, and at home he is happy to enjoy a life where the husband is honored by the woman.
"Oh... I'm so stressed and overwhelmed. It's all because I've been living a secluded life for the past year. I can't even see a woman, let alone interact with them! No, I need to discuss this with my sisters!"
Yiyi is still imagining all the dramas of women seducing and fighting for power, and she doesn't know that her man has already cleared everything for her. He only needs her to show up and demonstrate her noble status, and he won't allow her to get involved in any fights at all.
Yiyi did what she said and immediately left the father and daughter and ran straight to Yanan.
"Sister, help me!" Yiyi's cry for help made Yanan and Bailu leave their husbands and children and rush over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The other sisters who were still staying in the threshing ground also came over after hearing the news. So the scene the men saw was that their women were gentle and considerate in front of them one second, and then they opened their gossipy eyes and acted quickly the next second. The men who were left behind unconsciously touched their faces and thought to themselves, is it because I've been too busy recently that my face has become ugly? ? ?
"A group of people will come tomorrow to learn how to make bacon!" Yiyi said concisely.
"Eh, what's so strange about this?!" The girls couldn't help but look disgusted as they didn't get the essence of the melon.
"Wait a minute, the key point is that a group of women are coming here, and let me receive them!" Yiyi continued to use her big move.
"Hey, women are just women, not handsome guys!" The girls continued to express their disgust as usual.
"You've been here for so long, have you ever seen any woman other than us?!" Yiyi asked mysteriously in a low voice.
"...Wait a minute!"
"...Another woman?"
“I was curious too!”
"I heard that he is very precious and rarely goes out!"
"So, something big happened that we don't know about?"
…The news was so explosive that it really caused speculation among the women.
"What does your man say?" Yanan asked finally.
"He asked me to receive them here!" Yiyi said truthfully.
"So, these women are not outsiders!" Bai Lu also came to the conclusion.
"She's either an outsider or an insider! She's someone's wife? Don't be so ridiculous. If you cheat on me, I won't forgive him!" Sasha was the first to yell with her pregnant belly.
"Wait, wait! Don't get excited. I haven't finished yet. They are the residents of our villa. To be exact, they are the residents of the villages further out. They are also our people. It's just that this villa is too big, so we thought that only those living in this area are our people!" Yiyi finally explained it clearly after a few words.
"Oh, then it's none of my business. Let's go!" All the girls breathed a sigh of relief together and were ready to leave immediately.
"No, this is not my first time to receive someone. Besides, even if she is not someone's first wife, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to get promoted. How can it have nothing to do with you? Isn't it said that where there are women, there is competition for favor?" Yiyi directly held Yanan's hand to prevent her from slipping away. The women stopped in their tracks, looking at each other, as if they were a little persuaded.
"So...how to do it?" Yanan asked.
"Of course you have to help me. Remember to dress up beautifully tomorrow and show your strength. Try to crush the opponent at the first sight and win without fighting! What do you think of what I said?" Yiyi didn't have any reception rules, but she wanted to have the support of a large number of people to give herself courage.
"Are you overthinking it? If they had women, why were they still single before?" Luo Lili carefully put forward her opinion.
"Things are different now. The past was the past, and now is now. In the past, we wanted to keep our daughter a secret and not let anyone know. Now that the situation is better, shouldn't we be proactive and socialize positively?" Bai Lu didn't know what she was imagining. She even blurted out the words "socialize positively".
"Hehe, so everyone come and help me tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't handle it alone! Let's do it, tell me if you have any good ideas, or we can improvise tomorrow, there is strength in numbers..." Yiyi felt at ease, as if she had found an organization to back her up.
"I know nothing. What can I do? I'll just have to adapt tomorrow. I'll go back and scold my man first." Yali felt that she had to first stabilize the internal situation before she could resist foreign aggression. She would be more at ease if she could eliminate the internal hidden dangers first. There were quite a few people who agreed with her idea. So in a few seconds, Yiyi was alone again.
Yiyi, Bailu, and Yanan were left alone, staring at each other. "How about we ask for help from Sister Beibei?" Bailu immediately thought of their older sister Beibei who they could rely on.
"Okay, Sister Beibei must help. In a few days, during the Harvest Festival, Sister Beibei and I will need to go to the farmers' homes over there to participate in activities!" Yiyi also told them the first thing Ling Wuxin had arranged.
"Strange, very strange. We were kept under tight control for the past year and were not allowed to go out and socialize. But now we are allowed to go out and socialize. Something must have happened that we don't know about." Yanan said after thinking for a moment.
"Go home and ask your man!" Bai Lu thought about it but couldn't find the answer, so she simply went to find a backer to solve the problem.
"Okay!" The three women reached an agreement and returned to their seats.
