I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1431 Bai Yuegu (2)

Su and Yun chatted with Bai Yuegu for a while, mainly eavesdropping and asking her what she usually did at home, what kind of farm work she did, and also asking about the village chief's birthday.

A girl who is considerate of her elders can't be a bad person.

Neither Su nor Sister Yun had ever been to Big Bird Village.

So he asked, "Miss Bai, I've heard that there are many birds in the back mountain of Big Bird Village, which is why bird droppings have formed. Have you ever seen them?"

No villager in Big Bird Village hasn't seen the bird droppings pit on the back hill.

She was very familiar with Bai Yuegu and said in a clear voice, "Madam, Madam, that bird droppings pit has been there all morning, and we all found it strange. My grandfather even dug up bird droppings from the pit to compost."

This incident is a hurdle the village chief can never get past, and it has become a laughing stock for the entire village.

However, ever since Sun Shan turned bird droppings into fertilizer, the village chief was able to refute him with a clear conscience.

Whenever the villagers laughed, the village chief would immediately shout back, "I've always said that bird droppings are treasures, but they just didn't understand because they weren't educated. Look at Lord Sun, educated people know everything, and he thinks the same way I do, bird droppings are treasures."

Bai Yuegu felt much more relaxed after chatting for a while.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, Madam, if it weren't for Lord Sun, we wouldn't have known that bird droppings were so useful. Ah, if only Lord Sun had come to Yuanlu County sooner."

Su raised her smug eyes high with pride.

He said arrogantly, "My son reads a lot, so naturally he knows a lot."

This was still a restraint in keeping up with the boasting; in Sunjia Village, one could boast even more unrestrainedly.

Bai Yuegu nodded repeatedly in agreement, quite naively: "The old lady is right. Lord Sun is indeed a great man; he knows so much. The bird droppings pit has always been on the back mountain of Big Bird Village, and we still don't know how to use it."

Lord Sun glanced at it and knew it was a treasure. "Madam, everyone in our village envies you for having such a clever son."

The little girl's eyes sparkled, and she spoke so sweetly and sincerely that Su was overjoyed.

It looked like fireworks were going off in the sky.

Sister Yun was also happy. Praising Brother Shan was praising her, because she had such good taste.

He asked with a smile, "Miss Bai, besides bird droppings, are there wolves and tigers in the back mountain? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

As soon as Dege came back, he started complaining, and it was hard for Yunjie not to know.

Seeing that the official's wife was so interested, Bai Yuegu naturally spoke freely and without reservation.

She recounted the situation on the back mountain in detail: "Madam, Madam, the back mountain is very large. The wolves and tigers are far away from the bird droppings pit. They usually don't come down the mountain. As long as they don't go far, they are generally fine."

Thinking of the back mountain, Bai Yuegu said again, "Madam, Madam, my grandfather heard that Lord Sun likes mushrooms and bamboo shoots very much, so he brought some over this time for Lord Sun to try. Please don't find them offensive, Madam."

After saying that, he tugged at his clothes, feeling that these farm produce items were not presentable.

I really don't know what to send over.

Too expensive, I can't afford it. Or just ordinary, Lord Sun doesn't care for it. I might as well bring some local specialties from the back mountain.

These were picked by villagers in their spare time; they're very fresh.

When Yun Jie heard that food was being brought, she couldn't help but swallow hard. She smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, village chief. These are all good things. We like them very much."

Bai Yuegu's eyes lit up as she secretly peeked at Madam Sun, noting that she was a completely different type from Lord Sun.

One was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the other was as fat as a football; the two of them looked very mismatched walking together.

He glanced cautiously at Su Shi, who looked exactly like Lord Sun. She had a pointed head, a narrow forehead, and high cheekbones, and looked very mean and difficult to get along with.

But Bai Yuegu knew that Lord Sun was the most kind and approachable man, so the old lady must be just as kind as Lord Sun.

I heard that Lord Sun's family were farmers, so he must have had a hard childhood, which is why he has such a bitter face.

This cannot be blamed on Lord Sun and Madam Sun.

As for Madam Sun, everyone says she's from a wealthy family, a well-off lady who never has to worry about food or drink.

Having the privilege of seeing her in person today, Bai Yuegu couldn't help but believe the rumors. How could a family with no money raise a girl like Madam Sun?

Look at Miss Sun sitting obediently, she's just as round and plump as Madam Sun, they're all the kind of girls who are raised in luxury.

Although Lord Sun and Madam Sun were not a good match, they were both good people, spoke gently, and treated others with kindness.

Bai Yuegu had never seen an official and his wife so kind and approachable.

Compared to the wealthy indigenous families of Yuanlu County, Lord Sun and his wife were the closest of friends.

Bai Yuegu knew the purpose of her trip to the county town and had met her blind date. To say she liked him was hard to say, but to say she disliked him was also hard to say.

But Grandpa said that Lord Sun was of good character, and those who could work by his side were also of good character. This is what is meant by birds of a feather flocking together.

He also said that his blind date was Lord Sun's childhood friend, they had grown up together since they were little, and their friendship was strong. As long as he didn't do anything reckless, he had a bright future.

She also said that this was one of the few opportunities for her to marry into a wealthy family, and advised her to endure it, as things would be better for Xiao Yazi and Xiao Mei in the future.

Bai Yuegu didn't know if her grandfather was right or wrong, but the moment she saw Miss Sun, she knew that the old general was worth two men.

If she marries into the family, her children will definitely have enough to eat.

Maybe she can be as fair-skinned, plump, and adorable as Miss Sun.

Yun Jie had no idea that Bai Yue Gu was thinking so much; at this moment, she felt that the girl in front of her was not bad at all.

He recounted the process of doing the work as if reciting pearls, and you could tell he was a skilled worker.

What did Big Head Dog want? He said he wanted someone who could work.

Hehe, it's not bad even if we just make do with it.

Su Shi, Yun Jie'er, and Bai Yuegu chatted on and on until sunset before dispersing.

Watching Bai Yuegu's departing figure, Yun Jie'er asked, "Mother, what do you think of this Miss Bai?"

Su squinted and said in a deliberately profound tone, "They're not bad, they can get the job done."

Sure enough, Sunjia Village preferred girls who could do manual labor.

Sister Yun couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was born into the He family instead of the Sun family.

Looking at the chubby girl who had behaved well today, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Brother Shan became an official, so the chubby girl didn't have to work in the fields; she was just as lucky as he was.

Yun Jie nodded repeatedly: "Mother is right, I think Miss Bai is quite good. We'll ask Xiaoxiao's father tonight and then we can decide."

That evening, at the dinner table, Sun Bomin overheard Big Head Dog talking about getting married.

He slapped his thigh excitedly: "Great, very good! Big-headed Dog's marriage is finally looking promising!"

Upon learning that it was Dege who acted as matchmaker, he praised, "Dege, well done! You're amazing. You found a wife for Big Head Dog as soon as you arrived."

Dege'er said proudly, "Uncle, I've always been good at this. Finding a spouse is a piece of cake."

Uncle Sun said with a smile, "Brother, the village chief must have agreed to the marriage because De-ge is reliable. My De-ge has always been likable and thoughtful."

He then turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, it's definitely the right thing to do to have Dege'er do things for you. You should cherish this opportunity; you've struck gold."

Sun Shan: ...

A person who only eats rice, a person with a soul who only eats rice, or a person above all others who only eat rice.
