General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 972: Fame (2)

"Everyone knows that your potatoes and sweet potatoes can produce a lot, and you can spend money to buy them back. Not only can you fill your stomach but you can also make a lot of money! It's better than doing business or working outside. Anyone who doesn't grow potatoes now is a fool!" Aunt Li said proudly, as if all of Ji Xiaomu's affairs were hers and she was proud of it.

Ji Xiaomu really didn't know. "Really?"

"How could I lie to you? You didn't tell them you were Ji Xiaomu when you went to Xujia Village that day. If you had told them your name, they would have worshipped you!" Aunt Li laughed, "When Xu De heard that you were Wu Gang's sister, you didn't know..."

"Know what?" Ji Xiaomu was curious.

"Your Aunt Wu said that Xu De wanted to cancel the engagement, or wanted Xu Sanya to marry Wu Gang. How is that possible! He forced the village chief to make them make the decision on the spot." Aunt Li explained.

"So this is the reason why they forced Xu Sanya and Xu Zhong to get engaged today?" Ji Xiaomu laughed.

"That's right. What if she comes to bother Wu Gang again? It's better to kill them directly! Let the village chief of Xujia Village watch over them personally! Don't allow them to regret it." Aunt Li said seriously.

"That's true." Ji Xiaowu nodded. "Xu Sanya said very bad things about Brother Gangzi. She said he was dark, poor, and not as good-looking as Xu Zhong..."

"Hmph! She is the fool! Only Gangzi is good at making a living. Gangzi doesn't like the girls in our village. He can do the work of two of us and he works efficiently. Although he is a little tongue-tied and can't coax people, but as a man, this is how he can make a living." Aunt Li said angrily.

Ji Xiaomu patted Aunt Li's hand to calm her down. "That's right, what can a scholar do? The world is so chaotic now. Scholars are powerless and can't even lift a hoe. The whole family has to support their studies. If they really study hard, it's fine. I'm afraid they will spend the family's money outside and squander it. They don't make progress and suck the blood of the whole family."

"That's right!" Aunt Li nodded in agreement.

"If something happens and the scholar runs away, can we still count on him, a man who can't even swing a hoe, to protect his wife and children?" Ji Xiaowu asked again, and Aunt Li nodded heavily. "That's right."

"When it comes to living, we need someone like Gangzi, who is strong, able to endure hardships and willing to work! Xu Sanya is just a fool!" Aunt Li agreed.

"Speaking of this, Mom, let me tell you something." Mother Ji remembered what Fang Chen said about being well prepared and the exercise could be launched at any time.

"Fang Chen and the others have planned an exercise to simulate an attack on Heyang City. They are almost ready, so I'm telling you in advance. When the time comes..." As Ji Xiaomu was speaking, Aunt Li stretched out her hand to stop Ji Xiaomu from continuing.

"Girl, are you conducting this exercise just to let us know what a war will be like?" Aunt Li asked.

Ji Xiaowu nodded. "It was my idea. I thought that a war might really break out soon, and I wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone know how to protect themselves if a war really breaks out."

"Then don't tell me yet!" Aunt Li thought for a moment and said to Ji Xiaomu seriously. "If you tell me in advance, then there is no point in the exercise! It's to let everyone know what will happen if a real war breaks out!"
