The Green Lotus Peasant Girl

101-120

Chapter 101: Burglar

I sue my son, and I don't want to redeem it. This is to force Yang Lanrou to feel sorry for her man, and then find a way to take the money to redeem him.

Mother Xu is really a cruel person.

In fact, it is more ruthless than anyone else.

Many people in the village sighed that this trick was too poisonous. Originally, this silver was stolen for the talents of the Yang family, but now that he himself is in jail, the Yang family should also find a way to fish him out. If you don't fish, and don't mention the reputation of the Yang family. For the next ten years, Yang Lanrou had to stay alive. And Xu's mother still wouldn't let her in. What's the difference between being taken home and being deprived?

The Yang family once again began to raise money in the village, but unfortunately no one was willing to borrow this time. Even if it gave 50% profit, no one agreed.

It is true that the Yang family owes too much silver, as Li Qinghe said, the IOU is to write one hundred taels. What is the use of not getting the silver?

On this day, it was raining. Li Qinghe had a rare time. He took his son to find Yu Yan. The two of them didn't have much land. Yu Yan was only responsible for embroidering. The children were taken by Min Rui, who was just one year old. When you need an adult to run around, especially if you add a neat Xiyu, the running will be even more enjoyable.

Min Rui was very patient, and ran back and forth under the eaves with his two children.

Li Qinghe holds a needle and thread in her hand to make clothes. After getting married, she rarely has time to embroider. The two were whispering anecdotes about the child when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Yu Yan ignored it, and it didn't take long for Min Rui to bring in a thin woman.

--Yang Lanrou.

Yang Lanrou's eyes were all swollen and haggard. She was a little surprised to see Li Qinghe also after entering the door.

Li Qinghe got up, "Since you have a guest, I'm going back."

Yu Yan stretched out her hand and gave her a blank look. "What's back? Where is the guest? People left in a while. You finally came here, what are you running? ? "

accused while on the go, Yang Lan soft tears have been falling," the green charge, since you are, but also the way to listen to. "

Min Rui had already retired and closed the door. Yu Yan snorted, "So is Min Rui. Put everyone in."

Yang Lanrou's face turned pale, and she ran away from many people these days, so bluntly disgusted, Yu Yan It's the first one. Even if the other people don't have the talent to lend her, they are all polite and will comfort them. Many couples even quarreled because of her.

"Just talk about it, and leave when you're done." Yu Yan urged. Seeing that the tears on her face fell more fiercely, Yu Yan was annoyed, "What does it mean to come to my house and cry? Don't you know if you can't go to the dealer's house and cry?"

Yang Lanrou was accused by her and hurriedly wiped her tears away. "Yu Yan, I know you hate me because I am married to Chang Jie..."

Yu Yan raised her hand, "I hate you, not because of who you marry. It's because you are unpleasant, like this world The man who loves you should give in to you. Why?"

"I finally found a man who treats you ordinary, easy?" Yu Yan glanced at her, "You ran over three days and two to send steamed buns and water, dare you say no What

do you mean to seduce him?" Not only did she fail to admit that she didn't like her because of Xu Changjie's questioning, but instead accused Yang Lanrou of what she had done.

Yang Lanrou was stunned, tearful, especially pitiful. But in front of her were two women who didn't like her, naturally insensitive.

But she quickly reacted, "Yu Yan, Chang Jie, he was taken away by the mayor, do you know?"

" Yes ." Yu Yan nodded, "It's still you who are great and spend a lot of money as a beauty, he is really sincere to you. I've taken out all the family background and gave it to you. I don't know when he took the money, did he ever think that the money was the money his mother had saved for so long. His younger brothers and sisters have to rely on this to get married, and his parents have to rely on that Silver pension."

"I don't want to." Yang Lanrou's tears fell again.

Li Qinghe didn't hear her words the most, especially when she said it in tears, it seemed so hypocritical. Can't help but say, "You don't want to take the silver? Didn't you save your brother?" The tone was the same, but Yu Yan felt something was wrong and glanced suspiciously at her.

"The mayor said that if there is not enough money in the past few days, he will send him to the county prison." Yang Lanrou raised her eyes and looked at Yu Yan, "I know you like him too, and you can also take out this money. Can't you lend me the silver? Later...we will return it to you."

"No." Yu Yan rebuffed, "I can't borrow it, no. Also, I like my husband, not him."

She didn't expect her. So simply, there is no hesitation when I say these words. Yang Lanrou was stunned again, her eyes fell on Li Qinghe, who had already picked up the needle and thread again, "Qinghe..."

Li Qinghe raised her head, "Don't say that, I will be angry. I'm angry, I'm going to hit someone.

" I'll say it again, I didn't want to save people, but to thank him." Li Qinghe emphasized, and glanced up and down at the haggard Yang Lanrou, "If I had the intention, I might have married him."

Yang Lanrou's face was as pale as paper. He choked and asked, "Can you really help?"

"Why?" Yu Yan was not polite, "I heard that you have caused many couples in the village to fight in the past two days. Do you also want us to lose peace? , You think about it, if I save him with silver, my man can let me go?"

Yang Lanrou was anxious, "then you can't just watch him go to jail, anyway, once..."

Li Qinghe held his chin and looked. After a long while, she suddenly said, "Do you think everyone in this village should like your couple? People who don't like you are not normal."

Yang Lanrou was dumb.

Yu Yan was startled, "Really." She

urged, "You go now!"

Today, she seems to be very impatient. Yu Yan has always been a gentle temper, smooth in her work, and she doesn't fall into the hands of others when she speaks. I have never embarrassed anyone like this.

Yang Lanrou said a few more words, and the two of them ignored her at all, making her eyes flushed with anger, and left a word and turned around, "You are all hard-hearted."

She wanted to run out. The door was closed. She raised her hand to open the door, moving quickly, opening the door and rushing out.

There was a figure at the door holding a child in one hand and hurriedly avoided it. It was actually Min Rui.

Yang Lanrou never expected that there was an eavesdropper at the door. After a moment of stunner, she saw that Min Rui only looked at Yu Yan inside nervously. Without even giving her a look, she opened the door angrily and walked away.

Min Xi Yu Rui put down, ran off the first door, then ran to the door, did not dare come in, just support his head in, explained, "Yan children, not my eavesdropping, Yan children are looking for your mother."

Said Yan'er looked at her son, Yan'er was very cooperative and stretched out her hand, "Mother, hug."

Yu Yan looked at the father and son with arms folded, and snorted, "Do you think I should borrow the silver or not?"

Min Rui was serious. "You can borrow if you want, I will never say a word."

Yu Yan smiled, "That's OK, you go get that girl Yang back..."

"No, no..." Min Rui hurriedly refused. "Everyone is gone, why are they looking for her back? Besides, you once said that you don't want me to talk to her, I won't go!"

Yu Yan couldn't help but chuckled, and glanced at him, "Vinegar Jar ! "

Min Rui somewhat uncomfortable, Qing Ke heard," there are guests in it. "

guests Li Qing Dutch:" ...... "when I can not exist, really!

Li Qinghe sat aside and saw from the beginning to the end. He ate a bowl of dog food raw. He couldn't sit still now and took Xiyu home.

In the evening, I heard the Yang family quarreling next door. Listening carefully, it seemed that Yang Lanrou had scolded her father for being ruthless and unrighteous, and refused to sell the house for ransom.

The land and house in the Yang family are worth some money now. If they are gone, they really have nothing.

Xu Changjie was locked up in the town for ten days, and the Yang family collected twelve taels of silver. Or maybe he wrote an IOU of fifteen taels to Xu's mother before he brought him back.

However, Xu's mother refused to let the couple in. Xu Changjie had to give her a penny every month to provide her for the elderly, wherever they lived.

The house in the town had to pay rent. In fact, with so many debts, Xu Changjie and his wife couldn't go anywhere, and finally went back to Yang's house. The married daughter brings her son-in-law back to her natal house for a long time. In fact, it will be offensive. But all this was because of the Yang family, and Father Yang couldn't refuse. At this time, if he kicked out his daughter and son-in-law, he would have a reputation for being ruthless and unjust.

The weather is getting hot gradually, and the medicinal materials planted are still alive. Seeing that there should be a harvest in that posture.

However, it is inconvenient for people in the village, because the hill near the village was bought by Li Qinghe. In the past, the villagers used to chop wood where they wanted to go, but now they can't buy this hill. If you want to go in this direction, it will take half an hour to cut down the tree.

Therefore, there are almost no people going in the direction of Li Qinghe Linzi.

She didn't find someone to guard it, but the Ermo couple occasionally took a look. Now the harvest is also confiscated inside. Even if there are thieves, they can only cut down trees. In the future, someone may need to patrol the mountain.

One morning in mid-May, Li Qinghe and the two heard a rapid knock on the door outside before they got up. Zhou Mu Jueqian, when she heard the door next door opened, both of them did not move, but might as well hear the sound of the door opening. After that, it was Zhou's voice, the kind that was very anxious, "Old fourth, Qinghe, come soon!" The

two got up in their clothes, and when they went out, they saw the wounded Boss Zhou standing at the gate. Zhang's face is covered with wounds, unless someone who is very familiar would not recognize him at all.

Zhou Chengkang took a few steps and said, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"

"Last night, we were robbed ." The boss of Zhou seemed to have a wound on the corner of his mouth when he spoke. He grinned and became more and more ferocious.

"What's the matter?" Mother Zhou frowned, "Is it just stealing or hitting someone? Did you hurt Xili?"

He looked at the carriage behind him again, "There are plum blossoms, why isn't she?"

"Go to the door." Zhou Chengkang frowned, "Qinghe, you go find some medicine for wounding." When Li Qinghe

took the ointment for the beating, Zhou Boss was talking about the situation of recruiting the thief last night. The thief went in through the yard. Originally, he was stealing something. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a figure dangling in front of the bed and shouted subconsciously.

It turned out that they were not alone. Three or four people came in and tied him up, asking him to hand over the money, and beat him if he didn't make it, and beat him if he was not satisfied. Not only was he beaten, but he even threatened to beat Heili. Now, those talents took silver and Mei's jewelry and left.

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 102

Zhou Chengkang helped him rub the medicine. He was still talking over there, and he even got hurt at the corner of his mouth. From time to time, he grinned and showed a painful expression. When he heard him say that it was dawn, those people took the silver and jewelry and left. Mother Zhou couldn't help it anymore, "How is Xili? How about Meihua, has she been beaten?"

Boss Zhou waved his hand, "They are fine. It's just silver...hiss..."

Hearing him say Mei and the child It's okay, Mother Zhou was relieved, and heard him mention the distressed look of silver, and said, "How much did you lose?"

"Fifty taels, and the bracelets and jewelry on the plum blossoms. The total is about sixty or seventy taels. "Speaking of this, Zhou Boss looked sad, "I really gave them all."

There was silence in the room, and Zhou Boss continued, "If you don't give it, they beat me and asked Meihua to get the silver, but didn't get it. Come and continue to beat him, and when he got it, he beat him as well. Then he gave thirty taels. They caught Xili and asked us to take the silver. If we didn't get it, we would have to beat Xili. He is so small, where is he? Can you afford to fight them?"

"So, later the silver and jewelry were given to them."

Zhou Chengkang helped him wipe his face and asked, "Have you gone to the mayor's house?"

Zhou Boss shook his head, "No, I don't even know Mayor, I'll come back to find you to accompany me."

Zhou Chengkang got up, "How many of them are there? Do you see their looks?"

"All their heads covered." Zhou Boss thought for a while, "I can't see." He added, "They are all men."

Zhou Chengkang was dumb, what characteristics are all men, there are more men in Luoyue Town. "Think about it again."

"There is a very white skin inside. I saw him from the neck. Then Mei Hua grabbed his chin when he grabbed the bracelet." Boss Zhou touched his neck. Probably in these positions, there was blood bead at the time, and he even snorted in pain. It should be someone who is afraid of pain, or...has never done work."

In fact, Boss Zhou is not stupid at all. What I am talking about now is particularly important, as long as After finding the man with a scratched jaw, there is always a way for him to recognize the others.

Zhou Chengkang got up and said, "Let's go to town, catch people sooner."

Zhou's mother thought for a while, "I'll go and see the children." When

something like this happened, Li Qinghe should also go and see, and walked to the door. At that time, Zhou Chengkang saw Xiyu who was still asleep and said, "You two don't go, or go again in the afternoon." Okay, Li Qinghe

took the child back to the bed to sleep with him.

When she woke up again, it was already early in the morning. She took her children to the kitchen to cook and eat. Chen came in and said in a low voice, "My boss, there is something very strange."

Li Qinghe glanced at her. Like the other women in the village, Su Rili likes to inquire about each family the most, and casually said, "What's the matter?"

"It's all like that in the Yang family, right?" Chen pointed in the direction next door, "Just now their family The news came out that they were paying off their debts and urging everyone to hurry up...Are they willing to pay off the debts? The villagers passed by quickly. Just now, I made a special trip to the uncle's house and quietly called them to hurry up. , Now has passed."

The uncle in her mouth is Li Xingwang's family, this is purely followed by the two shouted.

Li Qinghe thought of the fair-skinned man who was afraid of pain in Mr. Zhou's mouth. He looked like Yang Lanhong next door.

The next door was indeed very lively. They all said to catch the gangsters and get the thief to get dirty. The money did not say that it was the boss of Zhou. Besides, she was the only one in the house, and it was not good to rush away to prevent the family from paying the debts.

I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door outside, and Chen ran to open it. It was Li Xingwang and the others who had just received their wages.

He looked excited, "Unexpectedly, the Yang

family really has money." Liu sighed, "I said earlier that I would lend money to their family. You must not let it. If you borrow it, you will earn it now."

"What are you earning? "Li Xingwang glared at her. "Are you not paying back the principal? You didn't give any profit. It

's luck to get it back. Don't even think about profit." The Liu family didn't care, "The Yang family is great. , It must be back sooner or later."

When I was talking, I heard the next room quarreling, the noise was loud, and it seemed that I was saying something about my own money and not returning it back.

When

Li Xingwang heard a slight change in his face, "Why are you going back?" He hurriedly took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it with Liu's, "Don't think about watching the excitement. Take these copper plates back and hide them."

In fact, Li Xingwang got it. They didn't borrow any money from the Yang family, they just helped with some work, and they paid half of the deducted wages.

Liu took the purse and went home quickly.

Li Xingwang went out with his hands behind his back, "Qinghe, let's take a look."

When he went out, Chen closed the door, and when he went to the wasteland, Li Qinghe said in a low voice, "My eldest brother came back early this morning. Their house was robbed last night, but he just woke up, and he was tied up and robbed as soon as he shouted ." Li

Xingwang was surprised, "How much was robbed?"

"Dozens of taels of silver." Li Qinghe sighed. Earlier, Old Lady Liu sold three tofu recipes, each of which was thirty-two. After getting it, she bought the town's yard. She was frugal and didn't spend much, and then they all fell into the hands of Mr. Zhou. , Bought a carriage. The rest... should be gone.

The two had already reached the corner of the wall. Li Xingwang looked at the wall and frowned, "According to you, the silver issued by the Yang family today is probably from your elder brother's house. Their family also stole your fish. Your wild grassland. There are a lot of chickens in it, so it's better to lock it up.

It won't be easy for him to come and steal your chickens someday ." Li Qinghe nodded, this wall is not so easy to lock. If it is really not a little work to circle.

After the two passed by, they just heard the mayor's voice, "These are all dirty silver. They were robbed by the Yang family in the town last night. They were stolen goods. Convicted."

Regardless of the honesty of the villagers, they are not stupid. If it was said that when the Yang family repaid the debts at the beginning of the day, everyone felt that the Yang family had a solid foundation, and they were able to pay a dozen taels of silver to repay the debts of the people in the village.

The Yang family was so poor that it was immediately robbed. If the money was returned, the Yang family would not be able to make it in this lifetime. The wages were paid back, and those who borrowed the money would not be willing in any way. No one in the village has any money from the wind, but it is all in exchange for sweat. If it weren't for greed of 20% of the money, it would have been given to Father Yang.

Hearing this, someone immediately ran out. In fact, some smart people ran all the way earlier, and even those who did not ran took the money home.

"The Yang family grabbed it. It was indeed dirty silver, but it was true that he owed us the silver. The real money was taken. Our family is still waiting for the silver to marry a daughter-in-law."

"You are the mayor. To be reasonable, if the silver is taken back, we will be forced to die."

Li Qinghe and his uncle entered the door together, and what they saw was such a situation. Everyone was holding hoes and knives. This time it was no longer Father Yang who was facing him. But the mayor under the eaves.

The mayor at this time can be regarded as feeling the mood every time everyone persecutes Yang's father. And beside him, Boss Zhou with a wounded face was explaining to everyone that the silver was his. Mei cried with her baby in her arms.

There are also some people who come from the town to watch the excitement. Some people enter the house and steal things. The people in the town are still quite concerned. If this thief does not catch it, no one can relax and sleep. Mother Zhou looked at her with arms folded and stood with the people in the town. She saw Li Qinghe holding the child and came up to pick up Xiyu. She sighed, "Let's go back, there is nothing good to see."

There is really nothing good to see. Li Qinghe will come here, mainly because she is curious about the source of the Yang family's money, and also because she heard the unusual noise that she just came to see in person.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xiyu out of the Yang family's door. As for Chen, if she didn't urge her, she would definitely stay here to watch the fun.

When she walked to the courtyard wall, Zhou Mu looked at it and said, "Here is still a door."

Actually, this courtyard wall was made by the Yang family. The rest of this place was reserved for walking, and it felt weird to seal it off. of. When the courtyard wall came over, it was the wall surrounded by thorns after Li Qinghe had set aside a path. It was mainly used to stop chickens. If people want to enter, they can't get in without breaking the thorns deliberately.

"If we go around by ourselves, it will cost a lot of money." Li Qinghe thought for a while, "chickens are different, not so easy to catch. They live in the chicken coop close to us at night, and they will come in daytime. ."

If they were caught flying, they should know about it.

"Yes, if you build a wall in such a large area, how many years will you need to raise chickens." Mother Zhou sighed, "You two will count your lives and won't make your life sad, the boss..." She shook her head, " The money should not be returned. If it is forced, the villagers will dare to die. Believe it or not?"

"If life is caused, the mayor is the mayor. I am afraid that there will be a lawsuit."

Therefore, the mayor and the village mayor finally Will choose to appease Zhou boss.

"It's also amazing. I can put more than ten taels of silver on my wife, I'm afraid that people won't know that their husband and wife are rich." The tone is bitter, "The silver is originally good enough to make people jealous, but you can't be thief."

Zhou Mu said more and more. The more angry, Li Qinghe calmed and said, "Elder brother and sister-in-law would never have thought that someone would dare to rob, if they knew, they would definitely not be like this."

Zhou Mu's expression was hard to say, " I'm stupid."

"Stupid." Xi Yu's words were round.

Just now, Li Qinghe persuaded Zhou's mother to calm down for a long time. When she heard Xiyu's word, she laughed instead, "Xiyu also knows that she is stupid. Don't learn from your uncle in the future, let your parents worry about it." Back home.

In the evening, the mayor took the Yang family, the village chief and Zhou's old family back home. Indeed, as Zhou's mother said, the money could not be recovered.

The money was originally the wages that the villagers lent to the Yang family and helping their family work. Besides, they got their own money back. The promised 20% profit was not seen at all. The mayor and the village chief have all the good things to say, but no one in the village is willing to pay it back, so they can't go to other people's homes to search?

The Yang family locked the door and left, but the villagers did not leave. They all stood at the door of the Yang family to discuss, not

to pay back ! They insisted not to pay back, and died if they were urgent!

Everyone felt reasonable and asked a few more. The family was timid, and everyone was scattered.

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 103

After everyone had gone, Zhou Chengkang went home. He said that the villagers didn't avoid him when they discussed with him, or that he meant to say these things in front of him on purpose.

In other words, the villagers told him almost plainly that they had no plans to pay back the money.

Zhou Mu sighed, "I always thought that I might not come back. Unless the Yang family can still save money."

This is impossible. The Yang family is really exhausted. Either sell the house and sell the land. Come out a dozen taels of silver. Just save it, don't forget that Xu's mother still has fifteen taels of IOUs.

This is not important. Li Qinghe remembered something and asked, "Did you see Yang Lanhong today?"

No!

After several people looked at each other and shook their heads, she asked, "I can't catch the thief, does the Yang family still admit it?"

Zhou Chengkang frowned and said for a while, "I saw a scratch on Master Yang's neck."

Li Qinghe asked in surprise . "

Does he want to help his son cover the crime?" Zhou Chengkang thought for a while, "It is possible. I will ask tomorrow." The

next morning, Zhou Chengkang went to the town with a carriage again, and this time he brought the whole family with him. At the mayor's house, a house was specifically found to close the Yang family.

When they arrived, Boss Zhou was already there, "So now I can't find anyone who is a thief?" The

mayor sighed, "Yes, he never let go of where Yang Lanhong went. We couldn't catch anyone. Naturally, there are few people left."

"No matter what I say, he never speaks."

Li Qinghe walked to the door of Father Yang's house, opened the door and saw him sitting in a chair, perhaps the sun was too intense , He squinted his eyes and saw the people clearly, and was quite surprised, "It's you?"

She went to sit down opposite him, "It's me. I came to ask where your son has gone?"

Father Yang shook his head, "I don't know, he will not live at home a long time ago, you don't need to find him. I take the things in your elder brother's house, but I didn't beat the people. I didn't do it, I was only responsible for getting the money.

" Then tell me who the remaining people are."

"I don't know them. Someone stuffed a note into my yard earlier. I opened it and told me to steal something. If I didn't do it, I would just pretend. I didn't see it. I owed so much money to the people in the village. I felt uneasy, so I touched the agreed place in the town at night. They all covered their faces and gave me a piece of cloth. I didn't know that it was you beforehand. Big brother's house. Later, your elder brother found us, but he had no choice but to tie him up, then beat him up and ask his wife to get the money...Speaking of which, I helped. Some of them saw that your sister-in-law looked good. I wanted to ruin her. I stopped it. If you don't believe me, you can ask your eldest brother."

Li Qinghe sat opposite him, listening to him saying that after going out, several people directly divided the money and left, and then went home. Knowing that the money could not be kept, he hurriedly asked the woman to find the villagers to pay the debts, "I really want to pay the villagers the money, as soon as I get it..."

Li Qinghe was impatient to listen to this. Earlier, the Yang family owed so much money to drink spicy food. If you are really embarrassed, you should have paid off some debts. Interrupted him and asked, "So, in fact, except for you After getting the silver, I don't know who the other people are or how much silver they have divided. Even my sister-in-law's jewelry doesn't know who took it, right?"

Father Yang nodded.

After going out, she went into the next room. There was the mayor sitting on the front, the injured-faced boss Zhou, and the uncomfortable Mei, then Zhou Mu and Zhou Chengkang, and Zhou Lao San. The two, even Zhou Lao Er, also arrived.

The mayor was holding the tea cup, pondering for a long time, and said, "He said so carefully, he just wanted to prove that the person who robbed the object was him." Looking at Boss Zhou, "Are you sure the injured person has white and tender skin?"

Inquired several times like this. Boss Zhou was also not sure, he hesitated, "It should be. I lit the candle at night. It looks really white and looks like a woman."

Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, "He said it so carefully, if it was him. , But in fact, he has no reason to help others to conceal the crime of grabbing seventy taels of silver. One person is completely different from four people. But if it weren't for him, he could have said so carefully and could start paying off debts so soon. People who have been to the Yang family can still have time to discuss the details with him. Maybe that person is in the Yang family now!" The

mayor was startled, stood up and said, "Find someone immediately and go to the Yang family with me. "

The gate of the Yang family's yard was closed, and the mayor asked the woman to open the door. The yard was quiet. After looking around the houses, no one was found. He stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at the wall of the Yang family in contemplation, and suddenly heard a scream from the backyard. A group of people rushed over and saw a ladder on the wall, and a painful cry came from outside the wall.

When I walked outside, I saw Yang Lanhong, who was only wearing a shirt, lying on the ground, holding his leg and crying, there was indeed a bloody road between the neck of a woman scratching out.

The mayor took the people back, and the whole family of the Yang family could only be considered as living in his house.

Yang Lanhong's experience is what Yang's father said. He didn't know more about it, but the mayor told him to remember it over and over again. From morning to night, at midnight, he finally couldn't stand it, "Although I didn't watch it. It looks like a few of them, but one of them looks like Zhao Tianfu."

Zhao Tianfu has been at home for the past two days, and he even ran to watch the farce of the Yang family for a long time. He couldn't see that he had a problem at all.

But since Yang Lanhong said so, Zhao Tianfu was also taken. Because of this, I even ran to invite both of the Liu family brothers for questioning, but they happened to go to the county town to get fish that night, and several people from the county town's fish pond testified together. They were indeed released when they had no time. Went back.

Zhao Tianfu insisted on not admitting it, but it was soon discovered that he had paid back a sum of profit owed in the gambling house in the past two days, and the profit was exactly 18 taels, which happened to be the money he had allocated.

When they heard the news, the expressions on the faces of Zhou Boss and Mei's Li Qinghe couldn't bear to look at them, their complexions were distorted and couldn't cry. The capital is miserable!

The two people spent their money, and they still had to come back. For the remaining two people, Boss Zhou was even more anxious. Fortunately, the mayor soon got the news. Someone ran to the only gold house in the town. A pile of gold must be melted in the shop.

The gold was smashed into a gold cake, and there was no way to see its original face. It was an old woman who came to melt the gold and claimed that the gold was inherited from her ancestors.

The imprint that the gold smashed on was extremely fresh, saying that it was an ancestral heritage, it was completely impossible. But it was really impossible to find the mark of Mei's stuff. Unless you can find the person who smashed the gold.

Luoyue Town said that it is not big, and that it is not too small. The mayor found this, but he couldn't delay anymore. The other wealthy households in the town refused to allow him to continue the investigation. To put it bluntly, he did not trust his ability. . Or I'm afraid that he will take care of him as he did last year and put people back.

Zhao Tianfu and Yang Lanhong were stealing fish earlier, but the mayor wanted to put them back.

He even said that the mayor's heavy compensation is to plant a hidden danger for today. If people don't have the money to repay their debts, they will naturally have bad thoughts. If they are not sent this time, they will also go to the county town to sue the mayor for harbouring the prisoner. Or it may deliberately let off the prisoner by accepting bribes.

The last one was a bit embarrassing, so the mayor sent the confession to the county town with the Yang family, Zhao Tianfu, and a few witnesses on the same day. Including the squashed gold nugget.

When the people were sent away, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe were also safe. They don't need to run every day. In fact, it's not good not to run. It seems that the brothers are so unkind.

She even noticed that Boss Zhou and the two had a suspicion for their husband and wife. On the day of their return, Mei said: If you were cruel and didn't covet the dozens of taels they paid, we wouldn't have today. The curse.

Is it unreasonable? Then the two of them want to sue. The mayor deliberately hides it from him. They can't contradict the mayor, right?

Not to mention anything else, just planting medicinal materials. I still need people in the future. Besides, what if I need to buy land later? Besides, if people are willing to compensate, she doesn't need to waste her energy just to send people to the yamen, right? It takes five days to go back and forth to the county town!

Again, this time the mastermind was not Zhao Tianfu, nor Yang Lanhong. The testimonies of the two were similar. Someone secretly stuffed a note into the yard, if it wasn't Zhao Tianfuyou. After reading for a few years, I'm afraid I still can't recognize the characters. Since the mastermind has someone else, then there are no Zhao Tianfu and Yang Lanhong, there are still others coming at night!

At that time, Zhou Cheng was angry and was about to take his wife away.

Li Qinghe was not accustomed to her problems, so he said directly, "If it wasn't for my sister-in-law to have twenty taels of silver on her body, no one would look at you." If it is a rich family in the town, there are many people in the family, and they would not dare to come to the house. . They were lucky. Even if the couple still brought a thin child, they could wear the gold brightly. Although Mei did not go out, many people in the town went to her house to buy tofu. The caring person sees it.

Then, the two returned to the village. No matter what happened to them, they heard that a family of three went to the county seat in a carriage and waited for the result.

After running for five or six days, after returning home, I slept well and took Xiyu with Zhou Mu. She went hunting in the mountains with Zhou Chengkang and cutting wood by the way.

I went to my forest this year.

As soon as he entered the forest, Li

Qinghe was happy, "Who is like us, buy the forest for hunting." Zhou Chengkang took it seriously, and said proudly, "My wife spoils me!"

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 104

After buying this piece of wood, the two of them really didn't check it carefully. It was rare and leisurely. The two went home in no hurry. Hunting was the second thing, mainly wandering in the woods.

"If you have time to wait, I still have to ask Doctor Huang to come and see for himself. He often gathers herbs, so he probably knows where the herbs should be planted." Li Qinghe smiled.

Zhou Chengkang doesn't matter. He's not afraid to work, especially with Li Qinghe. Even if he's tired, he feels at ease. This is a dream he didn't even dare to think of in his previous life. "Okay, someday he wants him to come and pick me up. That's fine."

Li Qinghe turned to look at him and smiled, "Actually, I think you do favor me."

Zhou Chengkang looked around and saw that there was nothing else but trees around. He reached out and hugged her, "It should be." Of course.

Li Qinghe smiled immediately. The two wandered around for a long time, and finally hit a rabbit. The woods here were not deep, and the two of them didn't go far. They were very happy to hit a rabbit.

Just a rabbit, they didn't want to send it to the town to sell. After taking it home, he cleaned it up and stewed it, and sent a bowl to Li Fu.

Whenever I go back, the yard of Li's house is cleaned up. After sitting for a while, hot rice and vegetables will be served. Liu's is really a very diligent person.

Li Qinghe returned with the meat, and at a glance he saw the Liu family in the yard, cutting his clothes. Seeing her entering the door, he smiled and said, "Qinghe is here?" In a blink of an eye, he saw the bowl in her hand and stood up with a smile, "What are you giving us back?"

Liu's smile took the bowl. Turned the meat into his own bowl, took the bowl to the well in the yard to wash, and said, "Your father went to your uncle's house." After being

with the Liu family , Li Fu often went to Li Xingwang's house for dinner, and occasionally also Will invite them all over to eat. In fact, compared with Qian, Liu is really a woman who can live a good life. Her clothes and hair are always kept clean and tidy, and she is not the temperament of Qian who does not work with Li Fu on his back. No wonder Quan Shi likes her.

Just now when Li Qinghe came in, she was at home alone, and she was doing it with her clothes.

This was not the case with Qian before. Li Fu was not there. She didn't work most of the time. When he got home, she started making clothes. Then, Li Fu did the cleaning of the yard.

"I'm not looking for him." Li Qinghe also turned around and left. She sat at the stone table and saw that the fabric in the basket was cut into small pieces. She was a little surprised and asked, "Is Orchid pregnant?"

Liu Shi wiped the bowl in his hand and laughed, "No, this shirt is made for Xiyu. I made the material your father bought by the way."

"If Lanhua is pregnant, it will be fine." The expression was a little trance.

As if thinking of something else, she looked at the sky with a smile at the corner of her mouth, squinting her eyes because the sun was too big, and quickly recovered and went to sit down at the stone table again, "Qinghe, sometimes I think, am I? Dreaming? Will you wake up right away? I'm not at Li's house and I'm still there...I especially like drying the quilt. This quilt is warm and soft. It's not the one that was lumpy and had a sour smell."

Probably said It's her former husband's. I heard that she has been guarding for three years. If you look at Lanhua's earlier names, the days before the mother and daughter were probably difficult.

"Qinghe, if I don't do anything well, you must tell me." She said sincerely, "I'm not afraid to work, I'm afraid to go back to the old days."

Li Qinghe was dumb, "This is good ." "Suddenly it felt a little strange. She had been in the door for more than a year, so how could she remember to say this? He asked tentatively, "Did something happen?"

Liu clan put down the needle and thread, and sighed, "Is it so obvious?"

It was indeed obvious that before, Liu clan greeted people with smiles and didn't talk too much.

"Wanwan's mother came to the house several times recently." Liu's voice became lower and lower. "The neighbors on the left and right said that your father should still want to live with me, but I'm not as good-looking as her, and I'm not as good as she can cry."

Hearing that he would cry, Li Qinghe's eyelids jumped down, wouldn't he ran here to cry again? "Don't think about it, she wants to come in again, she won't agree from me."

The two were talking, and there was another person outside the fence yard, and Li Qinghe looked up and saw Qian.

It turned out that Liu's was not exaggerating at all, and she really ran over.

Liu's lowered his voice, "She has been here every day these days. It just happens that the two of your uncle's family are repairing the yard. I will ask your father to help." He made no secret of his careful thoughts.

After speaking, got up and went to open the door.

Qian came in and said, "Where's Li Fu? I'm looking for him." He

stepped into the door and saw Li Qinghe sitting on the stone table, looking at her with cold eyes.

"Qinghe... you are back." Qian's reaction quickly, "I have something to do with your father."

"Unfortunately, my father is not here." Li Qinghe looked at Liu's, "Aunt Liu, tell you something. If she comes again in the future, don't need to open the door, don't our Li family have a reputation?"

Although it is a reproach, but without a reproach, the Liu family instantly understood what she meant.

Qian's reputation in the village now is much worse than when she followed Li Fu back then. The main reason is that her own work also provokes gossip. She ran to live with Zhao Tianfu and his wife. Many people secretly said that they were together. Waiting, don't mention how ugly.

Hearing Li Qinghe's words, Qian's complexion was not very good, "Qinghe, do you particularly hate me?"

Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I have to ask? Is it unknown?"

Qian's face paled, "I haven't Your good destiny, you didn't meet a good father or mother, and you didn't meet a good man. Are these my fault?"

Zhao Tianfu is okay, Li Qinghe doesn't know, but Li Fu is good enough for her, she insists on it. Toss, toss away that little love, now that Li Fu is not a good man.

But she broke off and pulled clear, if I know she will encounter come today, it may not really willing to charge Li Qing, she also impatient, "I control who you are wrong, you quickly give me out."

Was The feeling of being pushed out is not good, Qian's face is hard to look like, "I'm looking for something to do with your father."

Li Qinghe frowned, "My father is not here, can't you hear and understand? Why are you like a rascal, you don't

leave." Seeing the undisguised disgust on her face, Qian was startled and explained, "Zhao Tianfu I was arrested. I got up this morning and found that the woman was gone, and the child was so hungry and crying." The

wife ran away. This is a rare event in the village, but when I think about the woman's birth, I don't think it's weird. . "Just leave, what are you going to do with my dad?"

Qian hesitated to say something, as if there was something hard to say, or it was hard to talk to her.

Li Qinghe stretched out his hand to push people, "Go back."

Qian was thin, she was grabbed by her step by step and walked out of the yard, quickly said, "I just want to ask your father, do you want to adopt that child? That's a boy, well-behaved. , The body is good..."

She raised her eyes to look at the Liu family over there, "You two have no children, and it will not be long before you do not have children. You see, Li Fu and I are so good, and now they are not going to each other." Let Li Fu help Zhao Tianfu raised a child, and the Qian family would think about it at a loss. Li Qinghe suspected that sometimes her mind was not clear at all, so she dragged people out and said, "Actually, you don't need to ask my father, I can answer you for him. He definitely won't Helped Zhao Tianfu raise the children." Qian left with a frustrated face. It's not so much to let Li Fu get rid of her, it is better to say that she still wants to try how much Li Fu still has feelings for her, and where is the bottom line of connivance. "Okay, I'm going back." Li Qinghe picked up the bowl and turned to go out, before leaving, "I definitely wouldn't agree with my father to raise that child. What kind of children do my grandchildren have? I really like children, Xiyu Just take it over and play for two days." When they returned home, the grandparents and grandchildren were enjoying the coolness under the eaves, talking about the woman Zhao Tianfu ran away. "The woman in the flower house has a good life relying on men. seeing here unreliable, and also ran normally. Zhao Tianfu that this time is certainly not so easy to come back, he even did a house, you have a few acres of land, or to others, only enough to feed two mouths. " Zhou mother Shaking his head, "I just pity the child."

Many people said that the child was pitiful, but the child was raised by the Qian family. After half a month, the couple returned from the town, chasing a few taels of silver, and the rest was spent.

The mastermind is the two gamblers in the town. They read books when they were young, and occasionally heard people talking about the authenticity of Mei's bracelets. Many people said they were fake, but some people vowed to say that their couple had a lot of money. , They were all left behind by Lady Liu, there are nearly a hundred taels, maybe the bracelets are real.

Regardless of whether the bracelet is true or not, the silver must be true. Once the two discussed it, they approached Yang Lanhong, and they knew Zhao Tianfu themselves and knew he was short of silver recently.

In fact, the one who really didn't know the inside story was Yang Lanhong, and the three hit it off. As for why they brought him, it was purely because they wanted to find another person to share the charges in case something happened.

He never thought that things would be bad for him, but in fact, whether Yang Lanhong or not, Boss Zhou must go to the mayor. Sooner or later, he will find the traces of a few people at the gambling house, unless they don't pay the debt. The money is borrowed, and it is impossible not to return it.

When the Yang family went there, the whole family went, but when they came back, they were missing the father and son.

The woman is gone, and it is said that she sold her to pay off her debts. So, in fact, only the mother Yang brought by Yang Lanrou and his wife came back.

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 105

When the Yang family came back, the people in the village were still very concerned. It wasn't because of anything else, but because they were curious about Father Yang's things, such as how many years he was sentenced to the case, or how he tried the case during the trial, or the people who watched it. Not many, and even more, many people in the village have not been to the county seat. They only heard about the prosperity, but don't know how it is. If someone is willing to say it, they can listen to it all day if they are free.

However, the current situation of the Yang family is not suitable for asking.

The father and son of the Yang family were in jail. At first glance, it looked like Yang Lanrou had recruited a parent. Xu's mother even visited the house once, not to mention that the father and son of the Yang family were not there. Cheng Xu's father counts as the IOU.

In fact, Yang Lanhong's money was still paid to the villagers, and there was a little left, and the Xu family's five taels were paid back. Now he owes only ten taels.

But this house is more than a dozen, not to mention Yang Mother, even Yang Lanrou would not agree.

Later, Xu's mother took a step back and let the person who changed her name to Xu Changjie repaid the debt.

In fact, it was too much, obviously bullying the Yang family.

But the Yang family really couldn't refuse it anymore. Originally, they moved in from outside, and they had torn their faces because of borrowing money and many people in the village. Even though he has paid back his money now, he is just not isolated or even expelled by the crowd.

The Xu family has been in the village for many years, and if they didn't even contact their family, they would really be completely isolated.

It's okay in the town. It's actually a terrible thing to be isolated in a sheltered place like this in the village. If nothing else, you don't know anything that happens in the village, it's like being blindfolded.

Mother Yang pondered for a long time, but finally nodded.

Nodding, the house became Xu Changjie's, Xu's mother was satisfied, and Xu Yang's family continued to communicate.

Because of this, Xu's mother deliberately informed her close family that there can be such a small courtyard in the village, which is a very powerful family. If nothing else, the marriage of the children will be much smoother.

Li Qinghe never thought that they would still be neighbors after going around.

Now she can't take care of this. It's time to dig the sweet potatoes in the field. Although every family in the village listens to what happened to the Yang family with their ears on their ears, in the final analysis, the work in the field is the most important thing.

Zhou's mother was also busy going back to work. Zhou Chengkang originally wanted her to take the child, and after Li Qinghe invited a good person, he did the work in the field for her by the way, but she refused and couldn't stop it. I went back by myself. As in previous years, no one would come out to help until the food was confiscated from each family, but there were always exceptions, such as Zhao Dashan. He was not an exception. He really had no land. People harvested in autumn and he was busy fighting everywhere. A day job, after helping Li Fu for two days, he ran to Li Qinghe's house to help. Every family was busy, including the two Xu Changjies next door, who also carried their hoes to dig sweet potatoes in the field. Also, the Qian family, who was unable to harvest the land in autumn, also took the children to the field. The Qian family's land was planted by the You family. After she went to the door and had a big fight, You's got a lot of money. The meaning of the joke, the land was returned to her. There is also the land of Zhao Tianfu. The person who planted the land is his own cousin. He has already told everyone in the village that he can't do anything when he is old. When the food in the land is recovered, he will not plant it next year. In fact, I just want to get rid of the relationship with Zhao Tianfu. That is a thief who dares to steal, who dares to continue dealing with him? No matter who grows it, half of it will be given to Qian, because Zhao Tianfu's son is with her. The autumn harvest is busy, but all are happy. This year has been a bumper harvest. Last year, everyone grew sweet potatoes and they planted more. This thing is hungry and doesn't make your throat irritating when you eat it. Now the villagers have come up with many ways to eat it, such as making it into pancakes after being cooked. A little bit of fried until golden on both sides, it is delicious. Not to mention adults, even children like it. In this way, eat sweet potatoes every day. After a year, you can save a lot of food, and you can sell the food for money, cheap and delicious, the best things. After busying for half a month, Li Qinghe finally collected the sweet potatoes and wheat, and let someone help take care of the land for a few days. This year's autumn harvest is even better.

She couldn't eat so much of that sweet potato, so she asked Zhou Chengkangla to sell it in the town. Every autumn harvest, the mayor's house began to collect sweet potatoes and grains. After the harvest, they were sent to the county town. It is said that the price is not bad.

The autumn harvest is over, and the weather is pretty good this year. Li Qinghe has picked up Doctor Huang. The medicinal materials in the field have been planted for more than half a year, and some can be recovered. However, because there are not many, Li Fu and Zhao Dashan came to help and harvested them in two or three days. It's over.

Although most of the medicinal materials are planted in spring, they can also be planted in autumn. They have been planting medicinal materials for a few days before they can be considered idle.

When they were free, the two began hunting in the mountains again. This time they brought Xiyu on purpose, mainly to take him out to play. He had to see Zhou Chengkang's bow and arrows earlier, because his father was a spoiler. It took half a day to make him a small one.

Xiyu walked steadily in the yard, but in the woods... a flat place was okay. In places with a little more leaves and weeds, I saw him wrestling with a bow and arrow.

I didn't cry after falling down, got up by myself, and rushed to chase his father, Li Qinghe looked very happy.

With the children, the family of three went home before the sun set, and just picked up some mushrooms. Li Qinghe sent some to the mother of the village.

Carrying Lanzi and Xiyu to the village, not long after he set foot on the road in the village, he saw a circle of people watching the excitement in front of him.

It's lively, actually she likes to watch it too, and she found Zhou's mother before and after she got together, and Zhang Haiyao next to her also looked in and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Qian's eyes were red and he was holding a crying child. , Crying, "Why don't you give it? Why don't you give it? Although Zhao Tianfu is gone, his son is here. You planted his land and no food is provided. You want to starve his son to death and let him die. Did Ming Yan Shun take his land?"

She said and cried, the child in her arms might be frightened by her collapse, crying even louder.

Opposite her, the old man who was gripped by her clothes was full of helplessness, and kept pulling at his clothes, but she squeezed it so tightly that she didn't let go.

He pulled hard and said, "It's not that I don't give it. I have planted it for so many years. I haven't been shameless. Now he is not here. If I give the food, he will not know it later."

"In front of so many people today . , I still said that, when Zhao Tianfu comes back, I will definitely not owe him how much food should be given this year." People

around were talking about it and felt that both of them are reasonable. Qian wants to help others raise their sons and get them back. Zhao Tianfu's food should have been. But Zhao Tianshou's words are right. People are not there. What if Zhao Tianfu comes back and doesn't admit it?

Originally, Zhao Tianfu was a scumbag, and this kind of thing would completely happen if he turned his face and refused to admit it.

Seeing that there was no one around to help, Qian's tears fell even more fiercely, "If his son is so small, if he doesn't have food, he can't starve to death? It is better to ask the village chief to testify. It is really impossible to write a deed to show that you have given the child food. , It's okay, right?" After that, I couldn't make a sound.

Zhao Tianshou couldn't get his clothes back, and didn't bother to take it back. Anyway, so many people around knew what was going on, and he sighed, "Sister, don't cry, it looks like I'm bullying you. Don't even ask the village chief to testify. If you say this is his son, but his mother ran away, if he is not Timfu's son, I really won't be able to collect the food. You can't divide you half, when he comes back and asks me again. Half of it, won't I do it for nothing this year?"

Qian was stunned when he heard this, "He likes this child the most, how could he not be his son?"

Zhao Tianshou saw many people around him showing unspoken eyes, spreading his hands to everyone. "I'm not talking nonsense, am I?"

"We all know his mother's birth. Tim Fu hasn't had a family for three days, and the child's mother often ran to find him. Who knows if she is looking for Tian Fu or a wild man? If it weren't for someone outside, she could run so fast, if something happened here, she would have a next home."

"Furthermore, Tim Fu loves this child... It doesn't necessarily mean that he loves the child, he must be the child's father? In this world, it is not only Tim Fu who treats a child who is not his own as his own child." He looked around, no Seeing Li Fu, he said, "Li Fu will raise a daughter for you, don't you dare to say that it hurts? The dowry is half and half with your own daughter, and even more gracefully." In the

end, I didn't raise a daughter. She became a lady of scholarship and never came to the door.

This is a deliberate argument. After all, he still doesn't want to give food. His worries are true, but the high food prices in the past two years are also true. It can be said that there has been no such price in the past ten years.

When talking about Zhao Wanwan, the people in the village began to talk about other things. Qian's face was pale, and the fingertips of his clothes became pale.

Zhao Tianshou no longer had the patience to entangle with her, he pulled back his clothes, and said, "I also heard that you are going to change this child's surname to Qian, so this food is even more impossible to give you."

He said slightly. It's a bit taller, "It's still the same sentence. On the day he comes back, I will definitely give him the food, or else he won't have to come back to the house, and there must be food to fill his stomach, right?"

"However, I won't plant the land next year. , Whoever wants it, I owe him one year of food anyway. If you are willing to work, you can use it to grow it."

☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 106

Even if it was so long in front of so many people, Zhao Tianshou just said that there is no food, and the ground can be used for planting.

But for so many years since the Qian was married, he really hasn't done any serious work, just go to the fields, which is also a waste of time. But Zhao Tianfu's land has no one to help plant the crops. Regardless of the fact that the villagers are not rich, there are many stubborn people, and some people never interact with them.

Qian cried, looking around, and saw that everyone didn't mean to pity her at all except the look at the theater. The tears suddenly fell even more fiercely, "Can you help us both?"

A thief's son, who would be willing to help?

Li Qinghe didn't care about the child's background, but she didn't like the Qian family and would definitely not help.

In fact, she wants to raise this child herself. Perhaps the mother of this child left the child when she saw that she wanted to smash her.

Besides, in fact, everyone didn't see where these two people were suffering. The Qian family's land was still there, and Zhao's land she could continue to grow. At most, she would be more bitter this year. By the next year, being more diligent will not starve to death.

Now that there is no food at all, she only grows green vegetables in the fields to eat, but she is the only adult and the child who eats, just a little bit of food is enough, she will definitely not die of starvation.

Therefore, everyone didn't care about her tears at all.

Li Qinghe watched too much, she cried, a little impatient, stretched out her hand to pull Zhou Mu, "Mother, I

picked some mushrooms, go home to tidy up." Zhou Mu turned around, and before leaving, she pulled Zhang Haiyao a handful.

Recently Zhou Mu said that she was living here and the field was very busy. Zhang Haiyao even helped her cook by the way. In fact, Zhou Mu had never started a fire when she came back to live these days.

When he arrived in the yard, Li Qinghe poured the mushrooms on the ground. The three and two children squatted to tidy up, and then took them to wash together. Zhou's mother kept talking about letting them have children.

Even though Zhang Haiyao likes to take advantage of small bargains, she doesn't care about others, but her daughter is well raised. The clothes on her are muslin and they are cleanly washed. She has embroidered some small flowers on the hem and cuffs. It looks like Quite elegant.

Of course, if you go to the ground and roll twice, it is the same as a flower cat. Today, Xiyu ran to the woods and rolled for a day. Her body was quite dirty. The two of them squatted and played. It didn't take long before Xiwei was almost there. After Zhang Haiyao saw it, she hurriedly picked up the child and went into the house to change her clothes. From time to time, she could hear her teaching a few words like "Girls' clothes should be clean and not rolling on the ground". Mother Zhou divided the mushrooms into half and gave her, "Send some of the mushrooms to your father." That's okay, Li Qinghe took Xiyu out with the basket, Zhang Haiyao just saw her leave when she went out, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't you eat the mushrooms you picked? ? " " do not eat. "Li Qing Li went to the Dutch go, and now Zhanghai Yao Mei's falling out, and as harsh as the original, as well as with her young crops get along pretty well. When I arrived at the door of Li's house, I saw Qian again crying at the door. Li Qinghe ignored her and opened the door directly. Not only did he not invite her in, but also slammed the door shut. Liu Shi kept looking out of the house, saw her come in, and rushed out, "Qinghe is back?" "There are some mushrooms here." Li Qinghe put the mushrooms on the table, and Li Fu came out, seeing that his expression returned. Very happy, "I'm back?" After a word came , I was already bent over to talk to my grandson. Liu's lowered his voice, "It's very annoying. She kept knocking on the door outside. Your father refused to come out. To be honest, I don't want her to come in." Li Qinghe saw that she hadn't left yet, if she ran twice in three days When I came here to cry, Li Fu didn't feel relieved. If he went out to meet people, it wouldn't sound good to spread it out. She suggested, "Keep a dog." Liu's eyes lit up, "There is a big one in Dashan, and I will let him bring it over." Li Qinghe laughed , "Do you want to bite? Don't bite yourself." When she went out with Xiyu, who was holding a piece of candy in her hand, Qian was no longer there, and probably went home.

After the autumn harvest, every family is actually quite relaxed, and people can be seen gathering and chatting everywhere on the road. Many people just saw the excitement, and Li Qinghe ran into many people on the way back.

That morning, the door outside was knocked, and Li Qinghe happened to wash in the yard. After opening the door, he found a carriage coming outside. A young man of about 20 years old stood at the door. "Dare to ask you, but Zhou who planted medicinal materials? Home?"

Li Qinghe was a little surprised, "What

's wrong with you?" The planting of medicinal materials is a new thing in this town. Many people know about it, especially she bought 40 acres of mountain forest. Not to mention the town, maybe it is the county seat. Someone over there has also heard of it.

"That's it. I heard that you have been planting for more than half a year, and some of the medicinal materials have been collected. We want to see what you planted... Oh, my surname is Wu. Our family lives in the county town and opened a medical clinic. The home's medical clinic is not only in the county seat, but there are also medical clinics in the surrounding counties." So

someone came to buy medicinal materials?

Li Qinghe was quite pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly invited them in. The people who came were not just the young man standing at the door, he also brought two old doctors with him.

After entering the door, please let Chen's tea, and together with Zhou Chengkang, brought them the medicinal materials that had just been processed. There were still a lot of the medicinal materials in the forest, which were dug back and processed by her.

"These are all good," Wu Li looked at the prepared medicinal materials, "Can I go and see where your family grows medicinal materials? If possible, I will buy all of your medicinal materials in the future."

Of course it is good.

Went around in the woods, Wu Li took all the sun-dried medicinal materials at a slightly lower price than Doctor Huang had told her.

Standing at the door, Li Qinghe watched the carriage go away, and said, "It's not like a doctor, but like a businessman."

Zhou Chengkang agreed, "It doesn't matter, if the price is too low, we won't sell it to him in the future. In this world, herbs are definitely sold."

People get sick if they eat whole grains, and take medicine if they get sick. For example, honeysuckle notoginseng, coptis, ginseng, gastrodia elata, etc., are definitely useful. And these medicinal materials can be planted in her mountains and forests. And it has been cultivated now. There are no seeds and not many plants. After two years, they will definitely be planted in large numbers.

When the two entered the door, Zhou Chengkang suggested, "I think we both need to learn some pharmacology."

Li Qinghe stretched his hands, "but I don't

know the characters ." The writing and the shape of the current characters are completely different from those she knew before, but if it is It is not difficult to make up your mind to learn. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which are expensive for other families, can also be bought by the two of them. In addition, considering their age, they are in their early twenties and will have a long life in the future.

Therefore, in the following days, the two of them secretly planned to find a suitable master to learn to read. In fact, the most suitable person is the doctor Huang in the town. They also wanted to learn pharmacology. If they followed him, they would do it in one step. ! But Doctor Huang Su Rili is too busy. When I don't talk about the big episode, it is usually, there are many people who come to him, day and night, every day. Even when he came to see the forest, he took the time to come back, and he had to go back to the town very quickly, fearing that he would not find him when he encountered an emergency patient. Can't learn from Doctor Huang, Zhou Chengkang pondered secretly. Doctor Huang has a grandson. He has been learning with him for six years since he was twelve this year. The two ran for a trip, somehow they picked him up. The twelve-year-old boy is not tall and has a straight face. The medical books for the two of them were bought from the county bookstore. They only teach basic pharmacology, which is the most obvious to those who study medicine, but It is enough for Li Qinghe. The two not only studied medicine, but also learned to read characters, and brought Xiyu with them by the way. This child was brought by Zhou's mother recently, a bit too crazy, there is nothing he dared to do, just learning to read words to grind his temper. The two of them were also very serious about learning Chinese characters, and they also asked Chen to help. Therefore, when Zhou's mother moved back again, she found that there was a young boy in the family, and her son and daughter-in-law began to read.

"You can really toss." Zhou Mu muttered, "There are so many things every day, and I still learn to read when I'm old. Isn't this a waste of money? It would be nice to send Xiyu in two years."

She just talked about it. , Did not resist too much, occasionally I saw my son practicing calligraphy, and even ran over to see it. "When I was young, I didn't have talent, or I would send you to learn to read." With

so many children, it's not bad to be able to raise them, and they still learn to read. Zhou Chengkang knew clearly, and smiled, "It would be nice if you could raise us."

Zhou Mu didn't know what she thought of, and she was a little dazed, "Yes, I almost lost you back then."

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 107

Before mentioning this matter, someone at home always interrupted it, and Zhou Mu took the initiative to mention this for the first time.

"How did you lose it?" Li Qinghe was curious.

Zhou Chengkang touched her at her feet, "Qinghe, go to see if the meal is ready? This calligraphy practice is faster than work, I am hungry."

Hearing this, Zhou mother returned to his senses and laughed, "Reading hurts the body. I haven't seen those talents who are weak and easy to get sick. They have to take some good supplements. I'm fine these few days. Tomorrow I will take Xiyu to the town and buy some meat by the way...he's still young. Well, don't be as serious as you are. Wait two years before letting him work hard."

After talking, he went out to the kitchen and heard her raise her voice in the house and asked, "Is the food ready?"

Xiyu Dropped the pen and followed.

Li Qinghe kicked it back and glanced at him with a smile, "I'm so courageous, I dare to kick me, can't you ask me about it?"

Zhou Mu was just in a trance, and her expression was calm. What can't you ask?

"At the beginning, the eldest brother and third brother deliberately took me out, and then deliberately left me in the woods. The children made it like this. Comparing their hearts with each other. Parents must be uncomfortable. If you mention it now, my mother should be sad." Zhou Chengkang She squeezed her hand, "Let's live our lives well, don't think about it so much. What do we always mention about the past?"

Li Qinghe snorted, "Didn't I hold the injustice for you?"

"Yes, yes, My daughter-in-law loves me." Zhou Chengkang bent over, kissed her hand, and smiled, "This is different after reading. It is reasonable, and there is ink fragrance in her hands." It

is Li Qinghe who is thick-skinned and praised by him. Blushing, the ink fragrance is not in the hand itself, but the ink is stained on the hand. If you use your heart to recognize words, you can learn quickly. But for this calligraphy, in addition to talent, you have to work hard. It's not a matter of overnight, and they can't be anxious, they are just getting started.

That day, I heard the quarrel next door again, and it didn't take long for Yu Yan to come back to life with embroidery. When she saw her practicing calligraphy, she smiled and said, "It's really like a look. The quarrel next door won't affect you."

Li Qinghe raised her eyes. Looked at her, smiled, "Drinking tea by myself, I'm serious."

"The Yang family is really..." She shook her head, "Min Rui just came back from the next door. I heard that it was from the Xu family. Xu Chang scolded his mother... "She shook her head, her expression difficult to say, and she said in a low voice, "Didn't the house next door have Xu Changjie's name written? Just now his mother came and said that after his second brother gets married, he must live here."

Li Qinghe looked up in surprise, "Really. Yes?"

This face is thick to a certain extent.

That house obviously belongs to the Yang family. Although it is now Xu Changjie's name, it is also owned by a small couple of other people. She is good enough and used it as the Xu family's house.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Yang, who is from Jing, has to argue with her.

In fact, the Yang family was at a disadvantage when they argued. They had completely offended many people in the village with these rounds of silver. They really wanted to quarrel. Even if the Xu family was at a loss, no one would help the Yang family.

At night, there was no noise next door.

The next day there was news that the village chief was invited to reason, and then Mother Yang promised to let Xu Lao Er marry a new wife in that house, but she had to move out afterwards.

In the afternoon, Xu Changjie's brother, Xu Changping's unopened daughter-in-law, went to Yang's house to measure the size of the wing.

This bridegroom's dowry preparation is indeed more furniture than the husband's wedding room, but this amount comes to the Yang family. How can this be borrowing the house to get married?

Is this Lai Xia staying for a long time?

The next room had a quarrel for a day yesterday, but it was quiet for a long time this morning, and the quarrel started again.

For the next door, Li Qinghe would occasionally pay attention to it, especially after Xu Changjie moved in, the murderous enemy in the previous life, it is not so easy to think about it and throw it aside.

Now they have not harmed her, and she can't squeeze, but seeing them have a bad life, she feels inexplicably happy, she is such a careful person!

In the end, Mother Yang compromised, but Yang Lanrou also angrily drove Xu Changjie out.

Li Qinghe would know about this because Zhou Mu suddenly remembered that she had dropped a knife in the backyard of the old house that night. Now in autumn, there will be dew in the morning, and the knife will rust when it touches water. What a guy at work. Zhang Haiyao might not go to the backyard, nor might she be able to see it. Zhou Mu had to go back to pick it up, so she had to send her out.

When Zhou Mu left, she squatted next to the fish pond to watch the growth of the fish. She has sold it for one round this year, and now it has just been put in for more than a month. Just thinking about how big the New Year will be, she heard footsteps behind her.

At this moment the sun is setting, the sky is dark, and the moonlight is coming out. It's going to be dark soon. After two rounds of thieves, Li Qinghe paid special attention. Turning back on guard, he saw Xu Changjie coming over with his hand.

In fact, she rarely saw him in her life. She didn't see him a few times after she got married. She didn't care about it now. She didn't have the interest to say hello to him. She continued to watch the fish. The sky is not good at the moment, but she can't see clearly.

"Qinghe."

She ignored people, but Xu Changjie called her out.

Li Qinghe didn't look back, "What's the matter?"

Xu Changjie walked to the pond and looked into the pond. "Your pond is a cornucopia. I heard that you sell two rounds of fish every year. Can you make a lot of money?"

"It's okay ?" , Enough to buy food." She casually said, knowing that she seems to have a lot of land, if there is no sweet potato, in fact, this pond really earns the most.

She was indifferent, and Xu Changjie seemed to come to talk about it, "This pond is still the thank you gift I gave you at the beginning."

But you can bear it, this pond was indeed bought by Xie Yin, but it can't be regarded as his. Thank you?

Rao Li Qinghe didn't want to be entangled with him, so he still emphasized, "You gave money back then, this is the land I bought myself!"

Xu Changjie smiled slightly, "It's all the same."

Can this be the same?

Li Qinghe didn't want to talk to him, "It's so late, what are you doing here? My pond has been a thief, you are here at this time, but it will make me misunderstand. Be careful I report to the officer!"

Xu Changjie did not speak and looked at the pond. In the middle of the fish, for a long while, his leisurely voice came from the moonlight, "Have you ever regretted it?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Li Qinghe somehow felt that he was referring to the fact that he didn't take the opportunity to mention the marriage.

"Actually, I regret it. No matter how gentle and kind a girl is, she will change after getting married." He sighed leisurely, "Becoming utilitarian, caring about money, house..."

Married with him for two years, even if he didn't get along very much, Li Qinghe took the pains to get to know him. This is indeed what he would say. Although Xu Changjie did not continue his studies, he was a bit of a scholar who didn't know the fireworks in the world. Qing Gao, it was Xu's mother who took good care of him and didn't make him hungry.

Of course, he will subconsciously choose women who are good for him, such as Yu Yan, such as Yang Lanrou.

Regardless of their beauty, their family background, and without enough silver, they can't raise their delicate and fair skin.

On the side, Xu Changjie continued, "It's a kind and gentle girl like Lan Rou who drove me out for the house."

Li Qinghe was stunned. It's no wonder he was still walking outside when it was dark, but he was kicked out. .

In fact, just like what he said, Yang Lanrou is really gentle, changing someone, not only kicks him out, maybe kicks his mother out, and becomes a shrew who disrespects the elders.

The sky is getting darker and the moon is getting brighter, Li Qinghe got up, clapped his hands and turned around, and saw Zhou Chengkang standing at the door, seeing her getting up, and smiling, "Why are you still outside when it's dark? Go home, hot water Okay, wash up earlier."

Yes, go home.

Li Qinghe smiled and walked towards him.

Xu Changjie watched her brisk footsteps, watched the two enter the door whispering and laughing, and then closed the door.

After entering the door, the hot water had entered the water room, and the father and son over there had already washed.

When Li Qinghe washed out, she saw Zhou Chengkang standing outside the water room with arms folded. At first sight of a figure, she was shocked. After seeing the person clearly, she teased, "Why are you here? Do you want to Take a peek, you are a disciple!" He stretched out his hand and squeezed his face.

Zhou Chengkang squeezed, and kissed her fingertips, and said solemnly, "I don't need to take a peek, I look at it with integrity." Reached out and took the bucket in her hand, wrapped her waist, and put his head on her shoulder. , Said with a low smile in her ear, "I have to pay close attention to you, I just take a shower, someone is looking for you outside."

In fact, it was just a joke. There was enough trust between the two, especially Zhou Chengkang knew those things and understood that she would never be able to look back. No matter how deep the feelings were, after being poisoned to death by her own hands, they probably disappeared.

Li

Qinghe gave him a glance, "It's enough to be blinded once." "Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded in agreement, "So you looked for me with your eyes brightened."

She couldn't help but smile, "Why are you so embarrassed to boast?

" Am I not good?" Zhou Chengkang squeezed his chin, pondered for a long time, and said, "It seems that I have to treat you better." The

two laughed and entered the door.

There are many people who chop wood in autumn, but the firewood saved by Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe is basically useless. These days, the two of them basically don't cook. Zhou Mu and Chen both use wheat stalks to burn them first. How much was saved earlier, and how much is still there now.

As soon as the autumn rains fell, it seemed that winter had begun. In mid-October, there was a wedding next door, and Xu Changping took back the newlyweds.

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 108

When they got married next door, Li Qinghe didn't go there, so Zhou Mu went to help. She also took the gift.

In fact, although it was the Xu family who married, their family continued to communicate with the Yang family, and many people in the village consciously alienated them. Therefore, this time the Xu family married, not as lively as before.

Speaking of the Yang family's lack of virtue, they used the money of the people in the village to take a lot of money, but the Xu family was not kind, and took advantage of the danger, and spent a dozen silver on such a large blue brick yard. Who would dare to have a deep friendship with them?

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was snowing outside. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe didn't go out at all. Zhou Mu didn't live here every day, and occasionally went home to live, but it was true that she didn't open fire on her own.

Li Qinghe doesn't matter, there's no shortage of food for her at home. Zhang Haiyao doesn't know what she thinks. Anyway, Zhou's mother went home for dinner, she also entertained him, and occasionally added vegetables. It's said that Zhou Lao San didn't have much money. , But the food was pretty good, maybe because Zhang Haiyao couldn't eat whole grain buns, most of them were fine grain buns, and occasionally cooked white porridge.

In the winter, Zhou's mother went back to live there until the New Year.

Last year, the family had an unpleasant disturbance during the Chinese New Year. No matter how unhappy they are, they will have to spend the Chinese New Year together this year.

Li Qinghe went back late, and when he arrived, he found that there were two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen. She was quite surprised. It stands to reason, why shouldn't Boss Zhou be here at noon?

Seeing her coming, Zhang Haiyao sighed, "It's considered to be here, so hurry up and help."

Actually, Zhang Haiyao is very straightforward, so let's just say anything. If she is yin and yang weird with a gun and a stick, then she is really angry.

"Big brother they haven't come yet?" Li Qinghe wouldn't be embarrassed. The eldest husband and wife are also used to watching them. They can count the number of times they come back throughout the year.

The mother is not willing to go to town this week. It's okay if he doesn't serve him, but you have to come back and have a look?

"No." Zhang Haiyao sneered, "Probably thought I was like the fifth sister, so I'll wait to eat when I come back." These

words successfully made Zhou's mother give her a big eye.

Zhang Haiyao is not afraid either. She gets along with Zhou's mother, which is very different from Li Qinghe and Zhou's mother. Li Qinghe didn't talk much, and she didn't usually say anything about Zhou's mother.

Zhang Haiyao is different. She has a stubborn temper. She was spoiled when she was at home before. After marrying, Zhou Laosan also obeyed her. So outspoken, so I often quarreled with Zhou's mother.

Sometimes, just because of the saltiness of the cooking, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law can talk for a long time.

The two were just quarreling with each other, in fact, no one took it to heart, otherwise Zhou Mu wouldn't live for one or two months.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are cooking in the kitchen. Today is New Year's Eve, but it is a rare good weather. There is still warm sunshine outside at noon.

Xiyu and Xiwei are playing in the yard, sometimes they grab things, but they don't fight.

The rice was ready, and the couple came back while they were cooking.

Every Chinese New Year at the Li family's side, the New Year's meal is eaten very early, just to make the couple return to Zhou's family to come back to the Zhou's New Year after the meal, which is considered intentional.

When the food was on the table, finally a carriage came outside. Hearing the movement, the three Zhou family brothers went out to see, Zhang Haiyao set the tableware, "Sure enough, I feel that I am a guest, so I eat when I get home."

Zhou Mu also helped and said to her, "New Year, don't worry about so much."

Zhang Haiyao didn't do that. After speaking, the couple who walked in were much more simple, both dressed in muslin clothes, with only a wooden hairpin stuck in Mei's head, and there was no gold or silver all over his body. On the contrary, Xili was still wearing a satin-padded jacket and a hat of the same color on her head, like a young master from a wealthy family.

"It's late." As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Zhou was full of apologetics. "There are still people at the restaurant today. They ordered dozens of catties of tofu. I only said today. Usually the restaurant buys the most tofu. Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve. , If you refuse, maybe this business won't be done in the future."

Hearing his explanation, Zhou Mu's complexion eased a bit, Zhang Haiyao snorted, "Eating."

There was a large circle of people on the table, Zhou's mother looked at it. Looking at the children, his eyes were relieved, "You have a good time, I am relieved."

After a word, pick up the bowl to eat.

There is no more saying that the two of Zhou Boss came back too little.

In fact, I can't mention it. When it comes to the past, the designation of this year has passed badly.

Although the atmosphere is a little dull, there is no quarrel, which is not bad. The children quickly ate and ran out to play, and the brothers were still drinking. Zhang Haiyao is already washing dishes in the kitchen.

In fact, she can't be blamed. After eating for a while, Boss Zhou and the two may leave. If they both ran away, the pile of dishes and chopsticks belonged to her. You dare not ask your mother-in-law to do the work, right?

Besides, when Wu Mei comes back tomorrow, she has to prepare food.

Go to the kitchen now, Qing Miao and the others will help. Li Qinghe was not lazy either, and ran to prepare the dishes for tomorrow. Occasionally I looked at the children in the yard, and when she raised her eyes to look at the yard again, she was suddenly shocked, "Where is Heeley?" There

should be four children who are not much different. At this moment, there are only three outside. Healy is missing alone. He is so recognizable. The other children are all blue, and they wear round satin. His body is azure satin, which is particularly conspicuous among a few children.

As soon as she said, Zhou's mother was surprised and went out to find, "I was there just now." After

looking around in the front and back courtyard, Zhou's mother was anxious, "Xili..."

Hearing the call, Mei came out of her house. They might be living today, they have to make the bed and clean in the house. She was also anxious when she heard that Zhou's mother was looking for someone

. "I don't know how many children, there is no in the yard, will they run out?"

She had opened the door and looked for it on the road outside, and asked the children next door who was playing in the yard.

I really didn't see it.

If the child is lost, I don't feel too anxious. After all, this is just a village, and there are usually no outsiders. There are even fewer people on the road today during the Chinese New Year. Besides, every time so many children ran on the road outside the New Year, no one was lost. Therefore, he is more inclined to play and run by himself.

Zhang Haiyao ran out and asked Xiwei, "Where did Xili go? Did you see it?"

Among the children, Xiwei was the oldest. She shook her head, "Just now, Changping wanted his snare drum, but he refused. , I ran away by myself."

Chang Ping was Li Qingmiao's child. Zhang Haiyao frowned and asked, "So did you open the door to go out?"

Xi Wei shook her head, "I didn't see it."

The child who didn't understand, actually couldn't say that. Believe it all, but they did not hear the sound of the door opening in the house. It was also because the door was closed that they were so relieved of the children in the yard.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou's mother came back out of breath, "No, I chased it all the way on both sides."

But every house and yard were found inside and outside, not only them, but also the brothers who drank inside came out looking for children.

After searching for another quarter of an hour, everyone was worried, where did this child go?

Boss Zhou looked around in and out of the yard, and ran back on the road. After entering the door, he said with a calm face, "There happened to be someone in the sun in Murakami. I asked them, but I didn't see Xili."

Zhou Muyi Hi, "If it is true, then the child must still be in the village."

Li Qinghe thought about it carefully, and said, "I'm sure the door has not been opened." The

child must still be in the yard.

A group of people looked at each other, the boss Zhou Zhou Chengkang skeptical eyes fell upon, "fourth brother, are not you?"

Li Qing Dutch shocked, Zhou Chengkang is all a bit startled to react, frowned, "What do you mean?"

"When you At the age of four, I know you still remember, did you..." Before the words were finished, Zhou Mu had already slapped his face, "Are you embarrassed to mention it?"

Zhou Boss squatted, holding his head and said. Healy, this is my son. If I lose it, what should I do in the future? Fourth, the eldest brother used to be sorry to you, but you can't take revenge on my son..."

"You fart!" Li Qinghe shook Zhou Chengkang's hand next year as a consolation, sneered, "Only you can remember, we forgot."

Zhou Laosan lowered his head.

Boss Zhou obviously didn't believe this, "Where did Xili go? Meihua is not in good health, I'm just this son, the fourth..."

He also mentioned that Li Qinghe was annoyed, picked up the stool beside him and threw it over. Boss Zhou just squatted on the ground, the stool went away very quickly, he had no time to raise his hand to block it, and smashed his arm.

Mei's dissatisfaction, stepped forward to protect, glared at Li Qinghe, "Why do you do it?"

"Then if you touch your upper and lower lips, you wronged us for stealing the child." Li Qinghe was so angry, "The child is lost, don't hurry up." Find it.

Instead, let us hand it over to you here. We come back several times a year for this one. It's not as familiar to you." "No matter how ruthless our husband and wife are, we will not do anything to our children for our own selfishness. It is only you. People who deliberately lost their children would think so. What you will do does not mean that we will do it too!"

Her voice was cold, and the yard became quieter.

Even a few children dare not speak anymore. Boss Zhou lowered his head even deeper. As if he couldn't bear it, Old San Zhou turned to the backyard and kept shouting, "Heili..."

He went to look for the child.

After a few breaths, he suddenly heard a surprise voice, "

Xili , here." Everyone rushed over. Li Qinghe didn't go, bent down and picked up Xiyu, pulled Zhou Chengkang's sleeve and went out and went home.

There was Zhou's voice calling her behind her, she didn't look back, nor did Zhou Chengkang.

What happened today cannot be said to be wrong.

Walking on the road, Zhou Chengkang reached out to take Xiyu and patted her on the back, "Don't be angry."

Li Qinghe shook his head, "I'm not angry. I still have to talk to my mother about this matter. In the future, don't get together like this. What a good day, we have been married for a few years, and we have had a good year. Every year we get together. Together, everyone is not happy."

"If the mother really wants to reunite, when the fifth sister on the first day of the new year comes back, we will go back and join the fifth sister and have a meal together." They are guests and quarreling in front of the guests. It is also very rude in the farmhouse.

If a married girl rarely quarrels between her natal brothers, it will inevitably make people feel that this girl is not valued, and her in-laws will look down a bit. Therefore, even if everyone was unhappy last year, they barely fooled around when Wumei came.

Do this in the future.

"Okay." Zhou Chengkang persuaded in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I didn't expect him to think I would retaliate against him."

Li Qinghe sneered, "He was so embarrassed to mention that, we didn't even ask him to settle the account."

If the child is lost, I don't feel too anxious. After all, this is just a village, and there are usually no outsiders. There are even fewer people on the road today during the Chinese New Year. Besides, every time so many children ran on the road outside the New Year, no one was lost. Therefore, he is more inclined to play and run by himself.

Zhang Haiyao ran out and asked Xiwei, "Where did Xili go? Did you see it?"

Among the children, Xiwei was the oldest. She shook her head, "Just now, Changping wanted his snare drum, but he refused. , I ran away by myself."

Chang Ping was Li Qingmiao's child. Zhang Haiyao frowned and asked, "So did you open the door to go out?"

Xi Wei shook her head, "I didn't see it."

The child who didn't understand, actually couldn't say that. Believe it all, but they did not hear the sound of the door opening in the house. It was also because the door was closed that they were so relieved of the children in the yard.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou's mother came back out of breath, "No, I chased it all the way on both sides."

But every house and yard were found inside and outside, not only them, but also the brothers who drank inside came out looking for children.

After searching for another quarter of an hour, everyone was worried, where did this child go?

Boss Zhou looked around in and out of the yard, and ran back on the road. After entering the door, he said with a calm face, "There happened to be someone in the sun in Murakami. I asked them, but I didn't see Xili."

Zhou Muyi Hi, "If it is true, then the child must still be in the village."

Li Qinghe thought about it carefully, and said, "I'm sure the door has not been opened." The

child must still be in the yard.

A group of people looked at each other, the boss Zhou Zhou Chengkang skeptical eyes fell upon, "fourth brother, are not you?"

Li Qing Dutch shocked, Zhou Chengkang is all a bit startled to react, frowned, "What do you mean?"

"When you At the age of four, I know you still remember, did you..." Before the words were finished, Zhou Mu had already slapped his face, "Are you embarrassed to mention it?"

Zhou Boss squatted, holding his head and said. Healy, this is my son. If I lose it, what should I do in the future? Fourth, the eldest brother used to be sorry to you, but you can't take revenge on my son..."

"You fart!" Li Qinghe shook Zhou Chengkang's hand next year as a consolation, sneered, "Only you can remember, we forgot."

Zhou Laosan lowered his head.

Boss Zhou obviously didn't believe this, "Where did Xili go? Meihua is not in good health, I'm just this son, the fourth..."

He also mentioned that Li Qinghe was annoyed, picked up the stool beside him and threw it over. Boss Zhou just squatted on the ground, the stool went away very quickly, he had no time to raise his hand to block it, and smashed his arm.

Mei's dissatisfaction, stepped forward to protect, glared at Li Qinghe, "Why do you do it?"

"Then if you touch your upper and lower lips, you wronged us for stealing the child." Li Qinghe was so angry, "The child is lost, don't hurry up." Find it.

Instead, let us hand it over to you here. We come back several times a year for this one. It's not as familiar to you." "No matter how ruthless our husband and wife are, we will not do anything to our children for our own selfishness. It is only you. People who deliberately lost their children would think so. What you will do does not mean that we will do it too!"

Her voice was cold, and the yard became quieter.

Even a few children dare not speak anymore. Boss Zhou lowered his head even deeper. As if he couldn't bear it, Old San Zhou turned to the backyard and kept shouting, "Heili..."

He went to look for the child.

After a few breaths, he suddenly heard a surprise voice, "

Xili , here." Everyone rushed over. Li Qinghe didn't go, bent down and picked up Xiyu, pulled Zhou Chengkang's sleeve and went out and went home.

There was Zhou's voice calling her behind her, she didn't look back, nor did Zhou Chengkang.

What happened today cannot be said to be wrong.

Walking on the road, Zhou Chengkang reached out to take Xiyu and patted her on the back, "Don't be angry."

Li Qinghe shook his head, "I'm not angry. I still have to talk to my mother about this matter. In the future, don't get together like this. What a good day, we have been married for a few years, and we have had a good year. Every year we get together. Together, everyone is not happy."

"If the mother really wants to reunite, when the fifth sister on the first day of the new year comes back, we will go back and join the fifth sister and have a meal together." They are guests and quarreling in front of the guests. It is also very rude in the farmhouse.

If a married girl rarely quarrels between her natal brothers, it will inevitably make people feel that this girl is not valued, and her in-laws will look down a bit. Therefore, even if everyone was unhappy last year, they barely fooled around when Wumei came.

Do this in the future.

"Okay." Zhou Chengkang persuaded in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I didn't expect him to think I would retaliate against him."

Li Qinghe sneered, "He was so embarrassed to mention that, we didn't even ask him to settle the account."

Chapter 109

This kind of thing happened during the New Year's Day. It really affects people's mood.

When they returned home, there were only three of them, and the Yu family outside the family returned home during the Chinese New Year.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to cook noodles?" Zhou Chengkang asked with a smile.

When you are in a bad mood, you will feel better by eating delicious food. But now the two of them were not hungry at all after eating the New Year's dinner there, and even Zhou Chengkang was still drinking before the quarrel.

"Not hungry." Li Qinghe shook his head.

Zhou Chengkang took her to the kitchen, "I'm not hungry now. When the noodles are ready, I must be hungry too."

Also, making noodles is not a little time.

Li Qinghe brought Xiyu to the fire. At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the room was a bit cold. It didn't feel like it was burning in front of the stove. The mother and son watched Zhou Chengkang kneading the noodles in front of the stove.

The family occasionally talked about it. When the noodles were ready, it was getting dark outside. A family of three sat in a warm room. There was meat on the noodles specially fried by Li Qinghe. It smelled very fragrant and looked pretty good. Appetite, the three people whisper and laugh from time to time, and the atmosphere is warm.

I was eating happily when someone knocked on the door outside. Zhou Chengkang got up, but Li Qinghe held him down, "I'm going." After

opening the door, it turned out that it was Zhou's family, so he guessed that Zhou Laotai came to apologize.

"Qinghe, what are you doing? Don't open the door for a long time?" Zhou's mother was talking and was about to enter.

Li Qinghe stopped, "We are eating dinner."

Mei said with a smile, "We haven't eaten yet."

Speaking actively, it means to be soft.

She is willing to be soft, but why does Li Qinghe want to continue?

"It's not very convenient for the New Year today. If you have anything to say another day." After she said, she raised her hand to close the door.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Mei stepped forward, "It's all a family, we don't make dinner for us, and the family doesn't care about it. But why do

n't you let us in?" "Why don't you let you? Come in?" Li Qinghe sneered, "Don't you know it? Others can come in today, but you, my family will not welcome you in this life." "Qinghe, they are all a family. Your eldest brother is really anxious and said It's not good to hear, but it's not because the child lost him in a hurry. Don't worry about it. I brought them here specially and asked your elder brother and sister-in-law to apologize to you." The smile on Zhou's face was kind of flattering. Li Qing Dutch heart some acid, but this time she did not intend to give way, the body is still blocking the door, "Mother, what if another day to say we were eating dinner, I do not want to have so much noise the New year we feel uncomfortable every year." said After that, he raised his hand to close the door. When the door was closed, I heard Mei's voice outside, "It's too shameful, how can I shut my mother out?" Li Qinghe picked up the broom on the side, opened the door violently, and hit Mei's. It's not like that, you are still shameless, because you have a bad New Year every year, I don't know it!" The broom was originally placed on the ground, although it was dry, there was a lot of dust on it. Mei screamed, Li Qinghe took a few shots and stopped, and looked at Boss Zhou who was silent from beginning to end at the door, "Don't say I'm too much. You guys are too much too. I'm going to spend a good year who provokes someone? " She calmed her tone and looked at Mother Zhou, "If your mother is willing to stay, you can come in. Don't let us celebrate the New Year together next year. I used to let you make noise, but from now on I don't plan to endure it. Now, the new year must be a bad time." "The ugly thing is ahead. You can come in if you want, but don't talk about the good things of the big brother. I want us and the big brother to love each other, and we can't do it." Zhou's mother was a little annoyed," You kid, why are you so stubborn?"

Li Qinghe asked, "Can I fight the injustice for my man? The four-year-old is thrown into the old forest. Not to mention the wolf, even a fall is enough." She looked at Boss Zhou, "We hadn't forgotten it originally. Speaking of this, the eldest brother still remembers that this can be regarded as a murderous enemy, right? It's all like this, how are you going to come and go?"

Zhang Haiyao followed, gloating, "I'll just tell the gods, you have to come today Who is not angry when encountering this kind of thing? It is normal if you can't get in!"

Li Qingmiao also hid behind and didn't show up or speak.

Boss Zhou looked ugly, "The fourth child, I will explain to him personally. If today's things are not clear, everyone will have lumps in their hearts in this life."

"It's late." Li Qinghe said seriously, "Since you dared to do that thing in the first place. In fact, there is already a pimple. From now on, let's be ordinary relatives."

After speaking, he raised his hand and closed the door.

On New Year's Eve, unless they are very close, those who can be regarded as a family will celebrate the New Year together. They... Let's keep them out.

Back in the room, both father and son looked up at her. Zhou Chengkang sat down. Although she shut her brother out, he knew that it was all for him.

He comforted in a low voice, "Qinghe, don't be angry. Actually, I really forgot."

"Don't talk about it ," Li Qinghe took away the dishes and chopsticks, "Momo, let's practice calligraphy." The

next morning, early in the morning , we went outside again. Someone knocked on the door and slept late last night. Li Qinghe couldn't open his eyes. Zhou Chengkang next to him went to open the door, but quickly came back to lie down with her.

Li

Qinghe closed his eyes and asked, "Who is knocking on the door so early outside?" Zhou Chengkang's arms hugged her slightly, "It's cold outside, no one, go to sleep." I

was going back to my mother's house on the first day of the new year, and neither of them. How long I slept, got up to wash and took the New Year gift back to Li's house.

When they arrived, Lanhua and Lanhua had already returned, and it didn't take long for them to have dinner.

Li Fu was very happy, especially the two sons-in-laws were particularly concerned about him. Not to mention helping with the work, it was good to his daughter, especially Zhou Chengkang, seeing the life getting better and better, and his daughter didn't need to worry about him after she got married.

The villagers still knew what happened to Zhou's family yesterday. They all knew that Zhou's eldest child had disappeared. It took a long time to find it.

Li Fu smiled and asked, "Where did the child hide

yesterday ?" Yesterday, he heard that the children were found and went home. He didn't ask where the children were hiding. Zhou Chengkang said casually, "The kid was playful, so he came out by himself. "

Li Fubie also just asked casually, and he took out the wine and asked his two sons-in-law to accompany him to drink.

After drinking this drink into the afternoon, Liu asked in a low voice, "Qinghe, is the fifth sister coming back?"

"Probably." Li Qinghe helped wash the dishes, and was not in a hurry at all.

Seriously speaking, the first day of the new year is indeed the day when the married girl returns to her natal family, but Zhou's family has been separated, and the fifth sister should prepare four gifts when she returns to her family.

As a result, I prepared a copy last year and returned to Zhou's house. In fact, this is also possible, only Zhou Mu has it, and it makes sense that a few older brothers don't. But Li Qinghe didn't want to get involved with them anymore, there were too many people. In the future, if the fifth sister is willing to interact with her fourth brother, she will come to her door by herself.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Liu did not ask much.

There are no other relatives in Zhao Dashan's family, and he would have stayed here until dark before returning. Last year, Li Qinghe's family left a long time ago, but this year they stayed until the afternoon and still did not leave.

There was a knock on the door outside the door, and in a day like today, even neighbors would not come to the door easily.

Lanhua went to open the door, and then brought in Li Qingmiao.

Li Qingmiao came to look for them specially and whispered, "Fifth Sister is here, my mother asked me to come and go back to you quickly."

Li Qinghe pointed to the hall, " I'm still drinking here and can't go back."

"Are you really angry?" Li Qingmiao pulled her aside and whispered, "Big brother and they are not good, but the mother is very good, and she is an elder, who is a Chinese New Year, so you don't have to be so stiff to make the old man feel unhappy. "

If Zhou Mu is happy, you have to wrong yourself. Li Qinghe will give in to some people, such as Zhou Mu, but she doesn't let her make arrangements without a bottom line.

Li Qinghe said frankly, "I didn't do anything wrong. If she is not happy, I can't help it." Looking at the person in front of her, it is not just her second wife, they often played together when they were young. She lowered her voice. "I don't want to get involved with my eldest brother anymore. When they were robbed, we ran before and after we ran to help. What happened?"

Mei Shifei said that the thief was because they let go of Zhao Tianfu. No one met this time. Mention this, but it doesn't mean that Li Qinghe has no idea in his heart.

Others don't know these things, but my family knows them, and there was a lot of quarrel that time. Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe just turned their heads and left, and they didn't say anything afterwards.

Li Qinghe whispered, "If it weren't for he is the eldest brother, we would definitely not associate with him."

"Alright." Seeing persuasion, Li Qingmiao didn't force it, "I have to go back, I'm different from you. Your second brother is barely half a married girl..." She thought for a while, "In the afternoon, we will go to your house."

This meant that he wanted to come to the door with a new year gift. Li Qinghe couldn't help but smile, "We If the two are so close, you don't have to bother?"

Li Qingmiao also laughed, "That won't work, the feelings are coming out. Remember to go back to cook and treat us to a good meal."

This is just a joke.

After sending off Li Qingmiao, Liu asked in a low voice, "Did the Zhou family quarrel yesterday?"

"That's true ." Li Qinghe nodded.

Since the young crops over there are going to the door, they shouldn't stay longer. The two left and went home and began to prepare meals.

In the end, not only the Qingmiao family, but also the fifth sister with children.

The child is not yet one year old, and it is time for trouble. There are a few children here, and the atmosphere is very good. During the period, five sisters wanted to talk and stopped, but they were all torn off by Zhao Liyuan. Once she spoke and was interrupted by him.

It can be seen that Zhao Liyuan would not let her get involved with matters between her natal brothers.

In fact, no one talks a lot about this kind of thing. The grievances between Zhou Chengkang and his elder brother are awkward. If it is not a brother, it will be a lifelong relationship.

At night, the two of them were sent away without mentioning what happened yesterday.

The weather was good this year, and there was sunshine on the morning of the second grade. The two of them took their children to the field. Not only them, but most of the people in the village started to go to the land. Mainly, they still looked at Li Qinghe's land. Although there are many people invited, as long as they start to work, they can make a lot of work for several days, which can make a lot of money. At least meat can eat a few catties.

Therefore, when Zhou's mother came, there was no one in the family, and I went around to the ground behind the house and saw a family of three. She smiled and stepped forward, "I said where did the people go? You are holding on tight, but you can't do so much on your own."

"As much as you do, " Zhou Chengkang said casually. She didn't ask her why.

☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 110

Li Qinghe didn't mean to ask, his attitude was much colder than before.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed and smiled, "Qinghe is angry with me"

Li Qinghe straightened up, pounding his waist, "No."

"That's good, you didn't let us in yesterday, it looked like I'm angry." She sighed, "We are all a family. It's better to make things clear in person. What happened yesterday was indeed your eldest brother's fault, but everyone has a time when they are in a hurry. What is said when they are in a hurry? Can't take it seriously, are you right?"

"Yes." Li Qinghe did not refute, "but I told you yesterday that you can come in, and I won't push you if you want to live for a long time, but there is one thing, It is impossible for us and our eldest brother to continue to love each other. In the future, you should not say that he is good in front of us. I am not happy after hearing this. I am a person who talks a lot, but once I decide not to communicate People, no one said it's useless."

Seeing her attitude was really cold, Zhou's mother was a little anxious, "No, it's all a family, how can there be so many right and wrong, your eldest brother and sister-in-law really know that they are wrong, in order to apologize to you. They were going to leave yesterday, but you refused to let them in and stayed one more night last night."

"I don't mean that they are right. I don't want you to have a good relationship, but you are always Brothers, should take care of each other." She looked at Zhou Chengkang, "Chengkang, what do you say?"

Zhou Chengkang raised her eyes and looked at her, "Qinghe means what I mean, mother, don't talk about this anymore, talk a lot. You think I'm disobedient, and I think you're unclear, and it's not good for us all." After a

pause, he said, "If you don't say anything, I'll open the door now. You enter the house. If you want Say, you should go back and live with your third brother to be more at ease."

Mother Zhou's complexion changed slightly. After listening to this, she no longer had any luck, and sighed, "I will let your eldest brother and them go back in a while. How about yourself, Think about it too..."

Li Qinghe couldn't hear this, and said directly, "What do we need to think?"

"You let us go back to celebrate the New Year. Do you think that the past few years have been good? I won't talk about the previous things, just yesterday. I don't think there is anything wrong with me. It is not us who should think more about it. The fifth sister is already married. There is no need to celebrate the New Year together. If you make arrangements like this next year, we will not go. It was a happy thing for the New Year's Eve, but it turned out that they have been getting married for the past few years and are too annoying."

Zhou Mu didn't expect that, she With just a few words, she can say so many words without mercy. This is completely different from her gentle temperament before. It should be said that she has never been so rude.

It was also at this time that she also knew that this youngest daughter-in-law was also choking, or that she was a little bit ignorant after she touched her bottom line.

Week looked at the back of the mother to leave, Li Qing Dutch whispered, "Do you think I lack of respect for your mother?"

"No." Zhou Chengkang low laugh, "You look fine. She will be figured."

Also Zhou's mother is considered an enlightened mother-in-law, and now she may only want to persuade her if she can't accept the antagonism between her sons.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou's carriage returned to the town, and the villagers began to plow in spring.

Busy, until March, all the land in Li Qinghe's home was considered to have been planted, and then, Wu Li sent her a batch of medicinal seeds, which were planted in various places. Vines can be planted in the woods. So, after the spring ploughing, Li Qinghe asked the people who helped him to go to the forest for a few days.

At this time, the two suddenly felt that they could still go to the old forest, because they had learned the pharmacology for a while. Some medicinal materials should be checked with their own eyes. The branches, leaves and roots are all What kind of place it should grow, such as dampness, depends on whether it is the kind of dampness by the water or the dampness under the shade of the trees.

So, after the spring ploughing, the two cleaned up the dry food and asked the Yu Ermo and his wife to take care of the house. They took the Xiyu family into the woods. They went out early and returned late every day, not to mention outsiders, it was Yu Ermo who lived with them. Husbands and wives do not have time to get along with them.

On this day, the two returned at night again. Before they approached the door, they saw everyone standing outside the door, who was actually Li Fu. Although Zhou Chengkang did not go to help him this year, the two were still divided. Two people went to help him for two days, which is considered a help.

"Father, why are you here" Li Qinghe was quite surprised, mainly because it was dark at this time.

Li Fu saw the people approaching, especially Xiyu. He saw that he was in a good spirit except for being messier. He was slightly at ease. Hearing the question from his daughter, he didn't have a good air, "Don't wait until this time, I see not people ah. "

Wen Yan, Li Qing charge some guilty conscience," today in coming back is a bit late. if you have something, you can tell them, or tell them to leave a message, let us at home so you can. "

spoke, he please He entered the door and looked at the Chen next to him, "Why don't I let my father in?"

Chen said before he said, "It's none of her business, I want to wait for you outside."

After entering the door Zhou Chengkang took Xiyu to wash up. Before leaving in the morning, he had instructed Chen to prepare the food and prepare the hot water. Here, Li Qinghe took him in and said, "Father, what's the matter with you?" Wait so long.

Li Fu looked at the water room and asked in a low voice, "Did you quarrel with your mother-in-law

? " "Why did you say that? Did you listen to what others said?" Li Qinghe was curious. Although it is a bit unpleasant, except for the Zhou family and the Wumei couple, people outside should not know it.

Zhou's mother herself is not a talkative person.

Li Fu sighed, "Do you still use someone else to say it? Last year, your mother-in-law stayed here for so long, but this year is all over and you can't come. The main reason is that you two brought your older children into the woods. This is not good."

Li Qinghe was dumbfounded. Most of the elderly in the village believed that children could not enter the woods. They thought that there would be bad things that would easily scare the children, and then they would get sick when they came back.

But the two of them don't think, besides, they don't think that the child has to be taken by Zhou's mother. It's good for him to take him into the woods by himself. It's March, it's not lukewarm or lukewarm. At that time, it's good for children to go out for more walks.

He looked outside again and asked in a low voice, "You told me honestly, did you have trouble with your mother-in-law? Is Chengkang upset over there?"

"No." Li Qinghe sighed, "Don't worry about so much, yourself It's fine."

Li Fu nodded, "Then, Xiyu will take it back for me, and I'll help you watch it, and speaking of it, I will have this grandson. I haven't seen him for many days. I'm wondering, it's better than I picked it up today. He

goes back to live, stay for two days and send it back to you?" After saying this for a long time, this is his ultimate goal, right?

Li Fuqing coughed, "I have been busy for a few months. After finally getting free, Xiyu has a grandson to take home for a few days, can't it work? "

Okay, why not.

Over there, Zhou Chengkang washed the child, and Li Fu took him with him after he went out. When he left, both grandparents and grandchildren were very happy.

The children were sent away, and their lives remained the same. They even went earlier and came back later because they did not bring the children.

Two days later, when the two returned, they saw another person waiting at the door. This time it was Zhou's mother. This is the first time she has come to the door since she left unhappy last time.

"Come back? You guys should come back earlier. You won't be able to see it anymore. It's not easy to walk at night. What's wrong with a fall?" Zhou Mu babbled, feeling that she talked a little after she finished speaking. Yu Guang glanced at Li Qinghe several times. At the second time, I felt relieved to see that she didn't mean to be angry.

This time, Zhou Chengkang spoke with her, while Li Qinghe went to wash.

After I came back, I heard Zhou's mother say, "Qinghe, I just told the fourth child, now Xiyu is on your father's side, will it be inconvenient?" I didn't wait for her to answer, and continued, "Is it my grandfather? In addition, there is also a Liu family over there. After a long time, she will inevitably find it troublesome and the children will be noisy. Of course, her family will look better, but others may not... Why do I take it and live there for a few days?"

Li Qinghe looked towards Zhou Chengkang, he said, "I mean, if my mother wants to have a child, she will live here. After all, it is now the third brother who lives there. One or two days will be fine. Long time is not good."

Li Qinghe nodded in agreement, especially with After Mr. Zhou's remarks, it can be seen that they have not forgotten those things. It is about the children, so everyone should pay attention to it.

Zhou's mother was a little sad, but she nodded and said, "If your father doesn't want to take it, I will move over." On

Li Fu's side, I don't want to take children at all. The grandparents and grandchildren have fun all day long, reluctant to think about Shu, Li Qinghe the next day When I went to pick it up in the morning, they didn't come back at all. The Liu family was also very happy.

Nowadays, many people in the village have nothing to do. Seeing the couple go to the woods every day to collect medicine, many people are doing the same. Because Li Qinghe asked them to come and help earlier, many people knew the medicinal materials. There are not just a few. At present, most of the medicinal materials in Wangcun have not been collected. Even if they don't know a few, they can always find some. Many people have dried medicinal materials, although not many.

It is worth mentioning that the Yang family next door started to invite people again. This time they asked people to dig fish ponds, and they wanted to raise fish.

Yu Yan came to tell her about this matter.

"You two are already selling a lot of fish in the town, and they don't usually sell it at all. Now they're here again..."

This doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you send it to the county, you can sell as much as you can over there. Besides, most of their thoughts are now in the woods. The fish pond was only a lot of thought at the beginning, but in fact they didn't pay much attention. They fixed the fry twice a year and didn't put too much in it. The past few years have been smooth. Yes, it did make a lot of money. But if it is practical, it should earn more.

However, Yu Yan's thoughts were rare, and Li Qinghe thanked him and said these words again.

Yu Yan waved her hand, "It's just a bit uncomfortable. If there is a fish pond, I won't talk about them after it's set up to raise fish. There is no fish pond or even a paddy field. I have to dig one out. It's a bit too much. Deliberately. Obviously, watching your family make money and deliberately follow you to learn. Living in the village, you are originally a farmer, so you can't do something."

☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 111

It's okay to do other things, but people just focus on raising fish, and no one can say that they must not be raised.

Yu Yan also understands this truth, but because of this, it makes people feel more aggrieved.

"Don't get angry." Li Qinghe smiled when she saw her angry, "I don't live on fish ponds either."

Yu Yan glared at her, "I'm not angry, I just feel bad for you." The

two looked at each other, and then , Couldn't help laughing.

No matter what the people in the village think, the fish pond of the Yang family was dug out anyway, and it was about the same size as Li Qinghe's. It is worth mentioning that the fish pond of their family has no water source, so the water needs to be led by the small river in the village.

The small river in the village has never been done since the village. It was as dry as the previous two years, and the neighboring towns and county towns were affected by droughts. Because the river still has a harvest, it is really good to raise fish.

In April, the Yang family went to the county seat and bought five hundred fry by themselves and put them in. If it went well, they could sell fish once a year ago.

The people in the village were originally watching the movement of Zhou's family. Who is the normal person who can't be angry when encountering this kind of thing? But Li Qinghe and his wife were quite indifferent. Not to mention them, even the Zhou family and Li Fu were unresponsive. Let alone trouble finding the Yang family, they didn't even talk to others about the Yang family's gossip.

Over time, the villagers stopped paying attention, but they all accepted that the Yang family also had fish ponds. However, there are still not many people who interact with their family.

The two spent two months boring in the woods, and the weather gradually became hotter, and they were not going to go. These days, the two of them were not only gathering herbs, but also hunting by the way. Li Qinghe himself also made some fresh bamboo shoots to pickle them. During this period of time, Xiyu has been living in Li's house, and occasionally comes back for one night.

Now that he decided not to go to the woods, he had to pick up the child. When Li Qinghe arrived, he happened to see Xiyu covering his eyes in the yard and asked, "Master, have you hidden it yet?"

Calling Li Fu not grandpa but grandpa is considered Li Fu's own selfishness, but no one cares about it with him. Standing outside the courtyard, I saw Li Fu slipping into the hall, and said, "Okay." He took a peek from behind the window, quickly retracted, and then took another look...

Xiyu let go. Entering directly, I just happened to meet Liu's family with grain, "Mother-in-law, I found you."

Liu's smiled, and reached out to touch his head, "Yes, Xiyu is really amazing."

Li Qinghe smiled and opened. Xi Yu didn't see her as she stepped in the courtyard door, and went straight in to look for Li Fu. It was Liu, who saw her at a glance, and smiled, "Qinghe is back? Xiyu has been talking about you for the past two days, and I said I will send him back tonight."

"Trouble Aunt Liu."

Liu didn't. Thinking of it, "No, there are many children in the house, otherwise it's just me and your father, and they don't talk much. You sit down and I'll make tea for you."

She still likes Xiyu, listen. Said that Lanhua is pregnant, and now she is helping bring Xiyu, perhaps thinking that Li Fu will be like her when helping the child with Lanhua in the future. Not only is she not unhappy, but she will also help.

Originally, Zhao Dashan didn't even have a close relative over there, and the children could only bring them by themselves, and there were always times when they needed help.

Zhao Dashan's treatment of Li Fu is no worse than Zhou Chengkang's son-in-law, but he didn't refuse anything. Sometimes people don't have to be related by blood to get along well, as long as they have the heart, they can get along.

Seeing Li Qinghe, Xiyu was overjoyed and ran out of the room, "Mother!"

"Do you miss me?" Li Qinghe bent over and hugged him, rubbing his little cheek.

Xiyu was serious, wiped the saliva on her face, "I think."

Li Fu came out of the door, looked up and down, and sighed, "It's all tanned, don't go, girl's house, still pay attention. Just a moment."

Is this because she thinks she doesn't look good when she is tanned, afraid that Zhou Chengkang will have a foreign mind?

She stayed at home for half a day, and the Liu family invited her to dinner.

When I went back in the afternoon, I found that Zhou's mother was already there. Seeing Xiyu, she happily greeted him and reached out to take it. "My dear grandson is home."

Although Zhou's mother came over and said that she wanted to pick up Xiyu some time ago . She went back to live, or she came to live, but Li Fu didn't let anyone go there. She came to pick up two times and didn't receive it. She was her in-laws, and she couldn't even let them go.

It was also at this time that Li Qinghe discovered that there was another person in the family who was not very familiar with him. He seemed to be the daughter of his aunt He, who was regarded as Zhou Chengkang's cousin.

At this moment, he was a little haggard, his face was sad, and his eyes were blue and dark, and he still didn't sleep well.

"Cousin is here?" Li Qinghe stepped forward to say hello.

He Yu smiled reluctantly.

Li Qinghe was suspicious. Who was going to another house crying sadly, but it was Zhou Chengkang's cousin who was brought by Zhou's mother. She still gave this face, and smiled, "Did the cousin have dinner?"

He Yu didn't speak yet, Zhou's mother. Already smiled, "Not yet, I'll take her out to relax, so I'll take her back."

Zhou Mu was sincere and didn't see her outside, but everyone said that she hadn't eaten, so she could really just send her away like this?

Li Qinghe smiled and entered the kitchen. In the morning, the Chens got up in the middle of the night to prepare for them. He brought the dry food buns that went up the mountain to warm up, and then he fry the vegetables casually, and brought them out and set them out.

I also ate a little with Zhou Mu and He Yu. As for Zhou Chengkang, he went to clean the cellar behind, but he didn't come out at all.

I was eating here, and someone knocked on the door.

Opening the door, the person at the door was surprised, it was Zhang Haiyao.

Li Qinghe was about to ask her, but was pulled out by her, and by the way, he brought her to the door.

Zhang Haiyao took her to the other side of the wall before whispering, "Is that cousin in your house?"

,

Seeing her mysterious, Li

Qinghe also subconsciously lowered her voice, "Yes, what's the matter?" Zhang Haiyao's expression was hard to say, "You two are running up the mountain every day. Some things are unknown. This cousin has been living in my house for two or three days. She... ...I was dismissed and went home, and my mother said she was taken to relax. My aunt didn't like me, but she didn't treat the Zhou family badly, so I treated her as a guest. But I didn't know that this cousin was actually a guest. Will have thoughts about your third brother." Her eyes were full of anger, "I saw her more than once and asked about this and that, he was growing vegetables in the backyard, and she kept talking with him. Yesterday In the afternoon, I went to the back to deliver water, and heard what she said about Sansao's lazy, and asked your third brother if it's hard work..."

"I'm really lazy, I don't know how to do a lot of work, but he knew it before he got married." Zhang Haiyao became more angry as he said, "Surely these words were spoken to her by my aunt. If an elder of my aunt said so, I would admit it, she is a cousin, why do you say that?"

Li Qinghe's expression was subtle, it seemed... It's not just worrying about the hard work of the third brother. Normal women don't speak this way at all.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Haiyao raised her eyebrows, "Look, it's not just that I think, right? These words are clearly she wants to replace them!"

"At least it was his cousin. At that time, I held back, thinking about taking the time to talk to my mother. I said, let her go back. I got up late today, and they are no longer there. I asked people to know that you didn't go out today, and probably came to your house."

"What do you do now? Are you going to go in?" Li Qinghe low Asked.

Zhang Haiyao shook her head, "No. I'm here to tell you this, just to make yourself pay attention. You have to be careful."

Well, Zhou Chengkang has never come out, and he is still digging out the cellar at this moment.

After hearing these words, Li Qinghe didn't go to the main room anymore. It was not impolite to have Zhou's mother with her, she also went to the cellar to help.

The cellar is used to store sweet potatoes. It will be used in two months, so it's better to vacate it earlier.

When the two were working, He Yu came and squatted at the door of the cellar, "Chengkang is really diligent. He hasn't eaten when he wakes up in the morning. Do you want to eat before doing it? The same is true for Qinghe, just work, no I want you to eat." In the

last sentence, the tone was a half-true joke.

Li Qinghe was immediately unhappy, "My man wants you to control?" He

rudely pierced her yin and yang weirdness.

When these words came out, the atmosphere became a bit embarrassing. Zhou's mother looked at her in surprise, wondering why the daughter-in-law who was still laughing and cooking for them suddenly became so sharp?

Busily smiled and made rounds, "Qinghe, don't talk like that, your cousin is in a bad mood recently..."

Li Qinghe said seriously, "Mother, if you are okay, go to the weeds in the field and try to avoid other people's affairs. . " "

you children how to speak? "Zhou mother some angry," before you aunt helped our family a lot, I'll take your cousin get some fresh air, why not? "

she was unhappy, said Jia Li Qing Bai Heming It's an outsider, but for Zhou Mu, the He family is her natal family, and He Yu is her niece. The daughter-in-law obviously dislikes her niece, does she also dislike her?

"It's okay to relax," Li Qinghe nodded, "Mother, then don't find me uncomfortable, take it away!" He waved his hand.

Mother Zhou's tears came down immediately, "I'm going

to leave ." She has a stiff personality . She turned around and left. He Yu stretched out her hand to hold her and smiled reluctantly, "It's all a family, why bother to make trouble. So? If there is a misunderstanding, it will be fine..."

Li Qinghe threw the broom in her hand in front of her, "My mother-in-law and my family, who are you? Who are you with your family? I didn't see that all this happened today. Is it because of you? The yin and yang provoke the relationship between the husband and wife in a weird manner, and I don't know it in my heart?"

He Yu's face flushed.

Mother Zhou frowned, and carefully recalled the words He Yu said. If they were between cousins ​​who were closer, those words would indeed be considered a joke. but......

What Li Qinghe is annoyed about is the common name of cousins ​​among people. They are cousins ​​and cousins. She is not good. Chengkang came up and called her Qinghe. What happened to her cousins?

Zhou Mu finally reacted, stretched out her hand to pull He Yu and left, "Today you will go home for me, I also said you are sad, you are not sad, this is too much thought."

He Yu was dragged away by her. , Her face was pale, "Aunty, didn't you say that you like me the most?"

"I like you because you are my niece, and I keep you because your mother helps me a lot. But you didn't let you provoke the feelings of my son's daughter-in-law "Zhou's mother was so angry that she pulled her out of the backyard quickly, and there was a faintly angrily reprimanded voice, "I like you no matter how much I like, and I didn't let you be my daughter-in-law..."

Chapter 112

Listening to the voice drifting away, Li Qinghe looked at Zhou Chengkang in the cellar and asked, "Is your mother too lonely lately?" Even her niece and niece can be brought over to raise her.

Zhou Chengkang shook his head and laughed, "It's okay, if anyone wants to prevent us from having a good life, she will drive people out first."

Li Qinghe took it seriously , seeing that Zhou's mother's posture was indeed the case, "I treat your mother, Is it a bit too rude?"

Zhou Chengkang was covered in gray, got out of the cellar, reached out and hugged her, "I am actually very happy to see you care about me so much."

Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "All the land in this house ." But it's all under my name. You don't dare to

behave ." "Yes." Zhou Chengkang nodded in agreement, "Don't behave, what's the madam's order?"

Li Qinghe took him to the front yard, "Go to eat, eat in the morning. It's too early." In a

blink of an eye, the weather got hotter in June. During the period, Wu Li came again and took some medicinal materials. He heard that when he was passing the village entrance when he went back, someone stopped his carriage and wanted to sell it. Some medicinal materials were given to him, Wu Li confiscated them, saying that they were too few, unless they were rare medicinal materials, otherwise he didn't want them.

In fact, there are any rare medicinal materials on the surrounding mountains, and they were also found by Li Qinghe and the two of them. They both stepped on the surrounding mountains, and some medicinal materials are easy to produce more than once. The two of them had studied pharmacology, and they knew more medicinal materials than the villagers. Some things that the villagers seemed to be weeds were also picked up by them.

Wu Li didn't accept it, so the villagers had to take it to the town and send it to several medical clinics. It was surprising and the price was pretty good. The medicinal materials are more expensive than food, but not much.

Then, more and more people went to the mountain after June. Even some large bark can be used as medicinal materials, and even the tree is moved home directly, and the unsold trunk is used as firewood.

The surrounding woods were stepped on by everyone like this, and there were doctors in the town who could gather medicine by themselves, but they didn't even look at the village.

Upon seeing this, the villagers reacted swiftly, and many daughters-in-law went back to the mountain on the other side of their natal family to pick them, so the whole mountain in Luoyue Town was quickly smashed. Fortunately, Wu Li didn't collect their medicinal materials, and all the medicinal materials collected from the surrounding areas were eventually sold to the town. Otherwise, the ordinary medicinal materials needed by the town could only be bought in the county.

Li Qinghe and the two did not go again, but went to pull grass or something in their own woods. They have collected all the medicinal materials that can keep their own seeds.

And, when the sun was at its highest in mid-June, they went to town again and took Dr. Huang's grandson over, and the two began to practice calligraphy again.

In fact, after there was more land, the two did not want to go to the autumn harvest by themselves. I was so exhausted that I couldn't do much, so I bought all the harvest from the fish pond outside.

When the autumn harvest comes, other families are busy or preparing for the autumn harvest. This year seems to be another good year, and the atmosphere in the village is good. In fact, many people are staring at Li Qinghe's land, helping her after finishing their work, and earning a lot of money every year.

The most important thing is that she pays her wages easily, not the kind of procrastination of the Yang family. This time, when the Yang family dug fish ponds, they were all people from the Xu family's family that Xu's mother found. Otherwise, no one would be willing to go even if the wages were high.

The autumn harvest is very busy, regardless of day and night. When the work is over, the grain is in the warehouse, it is already mid-August.

The two did not go hunting in the mountains this time, because after the fall, many medicinal seeds were recovered and Wu Li sent them again. Moreover, the medicinal materials are not food, and they are all about spring and autumn, as long as they are planted to survive.

Therefore, even if the autumn harvest is over, their family still needs a few people to help.

Li Fuqiu has been helping here after the harvest. There is also Zhao Dashan. Orchid is pregnant and can't do much work, so he can help Li Qinghe take care of the house. All he needs is food, no wages.

She said no, not because she didn't accept it, but she didn't accept it.

A few days ago, after the autumn harvest, Li Qinghe paid her some wages, but she had to give her some, but when they turned around, they made some clothes for Xiyu.

Looking at the clothes, Li Qinghe felt complicated. Sometimes the relationship between this person and the person is really not something that can be dealt with after a long time. Since that time when Li Fu took the husband and wife's meal and moved out, Zhao Wanwan had counted the number of times she went home with one hand, and she had no contact with her sister.

In June, I heard that Hu Yanxi closed the private school and went to Fucheng to take the exam.

He received such a high bundle repair, originally for the purpose of rushing the exam.

Li Qinghe would know that, as Qing Miao said, that nephew of her cousin is fine now at home to practice handwriting.

Li Qinghe and the two also stayed at home to practice calligraphy. Many people in the village went to the mountains to gather medicinal materials, and even the mountains were not easy to hunt. The pheasants and rabbits were also driven into deeper woods because of too many people. There are those inaccessible woods. , Even Zhou Chengkang did not dare to go.

Not afraid, but there is no need to take risks.

After planting the medicinal materials in the forest, the two of them did not go out. The medicinal materials brought this time basically took up more than half of dozens of acres of barren forest. The main reason is that the forest is different from the ground, and some places are not suitable. If there are rocks, they will be vacant.

In the autumn afternoon, the sun was just right, and the two moved tables and chairs to practice calligraphy under the eaves.

It should be three people. Xiyu also practiced calligraphy, and she still looked like she was lacking strength.

The atmosphere was warm, Li Qinghe glanced at the father and son from time to time, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Practicing calligraphy requires meditation, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Chengkang glanced at Xi Yu suggestively, which was to set her as a good example.

Practicing calligraphy is actually a very boring thing. It really takes patience, perseverance, and a very determined person to persevere. He obviously doesn't want to write it himself. He wanders a few times and even teaches others.

Li Qinghe laughed, "I have to go to the kitchen to cook, what do you want to eat?"

"Noodles." Xi Yu said immediately.

This kid has long been unable to bear it, "Mother, I want to help."

Zhou Chengkang put down his pen and preached in a serious manner, "You can help us by practicing more calligraphy. I will help your mother for you."

Xi Yu responded quickly. , "Why don't you help me practice calligraphy, and I will help you?" The

older Xiyu gets, the harder he can be fooled.

The three laughed and went to the kitchen to make noodles, but it was not easy to make noodles. When it was half an hour after the noodles were ready, I moved a small table and placed it in the yard. The three of them sat and ate. There was no fresh meat at home. Li Qinghe cut a piece of bacon and fried it on top. It was also very fragrant.

The door to the backyard was knocked without washing the dishes after eating.

Usually, it is not the Yang family or Yu Yan who come through the door of the backyard.

Li Qinghe went to open the door. If it was the Yang family, he would not let them into the yard.

Behind the door is Yu Yan, with a snack in her hand, "We just came back from town and bought some snacks, and we will bring you some."

Li Qinghe turned sideways, asking her to come in.

Yu Yan didn't enter the door immediately, but looked in the direction of the Yang family, "I went to town just now and heard that someone in our village was buying barren forest."

This is quite surprising.

One or two silver an acre is actually not cheap. You can buy food for several hundred catties, if you buy it just to chop wood, it is completely unnecessary. It is also unrealistic to open up wasteland. If you want to dig out the roots of the old trees, you have to dig out a big hole at least, but you don't have to dig cleanly. Small saplings will grow in the spring next year. If you buy a bamboo forest, it's really useless.

Unless... it's the same kind of medicine as her.

The investment in planting medicinal materials is not a little bit of money, not to mention buying the silver in the barren forests, that is, asking people to level the ground and planting medicinal materials, and then buying medicinal seeds, these are not a little silver. Curiously asked, "Whose

house ?" Yu Yan pointed her finger at the Yang family . "He bought the opposite..." She pointed her finger at the forest behind the village, which was a bit steep, "The ten acres over there are said to be also planted with medicinal materials. Their family is really thick-skinned, and they have to learn everything from your family."

Li Qinghe looked at the opposite hillside, speechless for a while. It's not that the opposite hillside is not good, but those that can be turned into wasteland. In the forest she bought, there are many big trees, there are trees with dead leaves, and when the dead leaves rot, they will be black soil. After applying the medicinal materials, the medicine also grows fast.

A large area of ​​the hillside opposite is full of small trees with thorns inside, and a thin layer of soil, planted with medicinal materials... I'm afraid it will be choking. Of course, it is still possible to choose the right medicinal materials.

"Do you want to buy it?" Li Qinghe asked with a smile.

Yu Yan waved her hand, "I don't want it. Although I live in the village, I have no plans to farm. But here is clean, and the people living there are clean, so you don't need

to bother to plan..." I don't want to talk about the Yang family, and I don't bother to think about it. Where did their family get the money now, Li Qinghol pulled her into the house. "No.

" Yu Yan smiled and whispered, "I'm going home. The father and son refused to eat in the town. To come back and eat the buns I made, I have to go back."

Li Qinghe turned and walked in after seeing her happily leaving.

It's not a secret that the Yang family bought land in the village? Two or three days later, most of the people knew that the Yang family also planned to grow medicinal materials like Li Qinghe.

If you know it, you know, no one in the village will help their family work, and no one will want to buy waste forest like them.

Originally, fish farming was pretty much the same. At the very least, I can see that I have made money in recent years. That barren forest...Someone secretly helped Li Qinghe to settle the account. Not counting the dozens of silver dollars to buy the barren forest, that is, hiring people to level the land and planting medicinal materials. I have already spent more than ten taels of wages, not to mention the source of the medicinal seeds. You can't buy it if you have money. This thing is simply not something that ordinary farmers can afford to grow.

Besides, who knows if he can make money?

If it weren't for the barren woods bought by the Yang family, you can look forward to it. After all, no one can plant more than ten acres of land. When you hire someone, you can go to work for a few days. But the Yang family, I'm afraid I can't get the silver if I help!

As a result, the Yang family didn't want to invite anyone in the village, so Xu Changjie ran out, not knowing where he found more than a dozen strong laborers, all of them men. It is said that they don't need any wages, just give them food, and live at night in the house next to the fish pond they built earlier.

A room was crowded with more than a dozen people, and when others found out, they just sighed with emotion. I don't know what these people have gone through. Some people still have scars on their faces. No wages, just meals. That's it, I heard that every meal of Yang's family only uses sweet potatoes to make porridge for them to drink, which is the simplest and cheapest meal. Work before dawn and come back in the moonlight.

Chapter 113

Li Qinghe has invited so many people. A dozen people are really good at work. They can come out to work with the naked eye. It can be said that if you look at it every hour, you will be able to dig out a large area.

Originally, those people were on the opposite mountain, and you could see it by just looking up. This was a rare thing in the village. When there were more people watching, I found something was wrong.

Those people don't seem to be people who are used to farm work. Looking at the five big and three rough, but the work has not been done so much, anyway, it is not easy for the villagers to do it.

The weather is getting colder and colder. People in the village don't go out very much. The people next door are still working. Zhou's mother came this day.

This year, she lived by herself, and at first she ate with Zhang Haiyao. Later, she cooked and ate by herself, and occasionally came to see Xiyu.

As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Qinghe, is your courtyard wall enclosed?" Yes,

there were so many strangers next door, and they seemed uncomfortable, Zhou Chengkang dug out thorns and planted a large area. , Directly cut off the road between the Yang family and the Yang family. In this way, although the people next door could not get there, they also cut off their own way to the town and can only go around the village.

But this is only temporary. The Yang family cannot support more than a dozen people for a long time. Even the dozens of acres of barren forest on Li Qinghe's side can't stand the work of more than a dozen people day and night. After those people leave, it's okay to remove the thorns.

It is also easy to withdraw, just cut it back and burn it directly.

Seeing the two nodded, Mother Zhou was relieved slightly and said in a low voice, "I heard your aunt next door say early this morning that the Yang family quarreled yesterday, saying that those people were caught stealing fish from the Yang family to grill. . " "

I'm afraid they come to pick your chicken. "Zhou mother sigh," those who look to be trifled with, do not know where Yang recruited, they do not deserve to offend chicken. separates the good ."

By the end of October, it started to rain in the sky, and it was even colder at home. The two pigs that Li Qinghe fed were already big enough to be killed by someone. On the last day of October, many people came to help the pigs at home.

Because it has been raining frequently recently, many people have not gone to the town. Anyway, the weather is cold. If you buy more meat, it won't go bad. Before noon, a pig will be sold out.

There are still many people who haven't bought it. While the butcher was still there and there were too many people, let them help pull out the other side and kill it.

If one pig is not divided enough, there will be more than two pigs, and most of them are left. In the afternoon, basically everyone bought pork and went home. Li Qinghe also began to let the helpers cook, Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao, and Yu Yan behind, Li Fu and Zhao Dashan plus the butcher, there were still quite a lot of people.

Everyone was talking, the cook was cooking, and there was another person outside the gate.

The people who came were Xu Changjie and his second brother. Regardless of where they live close, the two actually have no contact at all. He was

dressed in a blue gown, and he was still gentle, "Is there any meat left in your family?" Zhou Chengkang greeted him, "Yes, there are some, but we have to invite people after the New Year, and those are all to make bacon. It's not for sale."

Xu Changjie was a little disappointed, and said, "Can you just sell me two catties? It's really inconvenient to go to town recently, and my house is busy too. Those who help us work hard, they leave their homes. , Just

treat them as pity." "Does your family have a carriage?" Zhou Chengkang refused, "I really don't sell it."

Xu Changping frowned, "Don't be so careful? They are all in the same village, and they are still neighbors, so why can't they? It's sold? I think your family is targeting us..."

He is welcome, Zhou Chengkang is even more blunt than him, "Just target you, so what can I do?"

"I know, because our family digs fish ponds and grows medicinal materials. . Your family thinks that we have followed you to learn." Xu Changping folded his arms, "But in this village, there is no rule that your family can raise fish and grow medicinal materials!" It

should be that he himself knows that this is inappropriate, some are not. Kindness will be taken care of.

But in fact, the two of Li Qinghe really didn't take these things in their eyes. The fish, ten fish ponds, were not enough for the people in the county seat. As for the medicinal materials, it is even more funny. There are so many people in the world and many people are sick. No amount of medicinal materials is enough.

Zhou Chengkang didn't bother to tell them this kind of person, only shouting, "Rhubarb!"

Rhubarb rushed out.

Xu Changping turned around and ran. In fact, dogs generally don't bite people, especially rhubarb is smart, but no matter how smart it is, it is also a dog. Seeing someone running, it subconsciously chases after it, and immediately throws it out.

Xu

Changjie stood still and frowned slightly, "Brother Zhou, is this a bit too much?" Zhou Chengkang directly raised his hand and closed the door, "I'm sorry, there are guests today, so I don't want to tell you more here. Let's just do it. "

Rhubarb really drove out two miles and bit Xu Changping before returning.

There were a lot of people eating dinner, and there were two tables. At night, the crowd had dispersed.

The next morning, it was still raining outside, and the paper on the windows was damp. Zhou Chengkang got up and went to light the brazier to bake the room before lying back on the bed. Before he lay down, someone outside scolded, "It's great to have a dog. , Let the dog bite people, you don't ask a doctor to bandage my man. This thing will not get through!" It

is a sharp female voice, after hearing it clearly, you don't need to look at it to know that it should be Xu Changping's daughter-in-law. Can someone who can live comfortably in his sister-in-law's house for so long still count on her to be a reasonable person?

If the truth doesn't make sense, there is no need to talk about it. Zhou Chengkang went out, opened the door a crack, and the rhubarb jumped out again, and then the woman's screams got farther and farther.

Seeing the person running away, Zhou Chengkang called the rhubarb back, closed the door again and went back to sleep.

Listening to the movement outside, Li Qinghe couldn't help but twitched his mouth and smiled, "People should say that you look down on people after you become rich and let the dog bite people."

Zhou Chengkang pulled the quilt on, "Rhubarb is not everyone bites." We have kept it for so many years, and we haven't bitten a few people in total."

For the two of them, the two brothers next door are regarded as their most annoying people, not one of them.

After this incident, the relationship between the two families, which was originally estranged, can now be said to be bad.

The two had no contact, and the relationship was bad and bad. In the winter moon, snow floated in the sky. No one really went out to work at this moment, including the dozen or so people invited next door.

In fact, even if they eat sweet potatoes, because there is no meat, those people eat more and more as time goes by. People have to eat even if they don't work.

Li Qinghe never went out, and occasionally heard someone say that Xu's mother complained that they ate a lot.

In the afternoon of that day, someone came to the door. The person who came was considered to be the eldest brother of Li Qinghe and Li's family, named Li Qingsong. Both of the couple came with Li Fu on the side. It was said that the elderly in the family were sick and very sick, so I wanted to ask them if they had any medicinal materials, and then took them back and gave them to the elderly to drink.

"Qinghe, we are not saying not to hire a doctor for him, but the doctor has already said that my dad's illness is just going through the days, saying that he will leave in autumn... Now the weather is so cold, it's getting worse, it's really not It seems too much to give him medicine..." His eye circles are red, "It has been several days without water and rice. You can give me some medicine that is not bad, and I will boil it for him when I go back. Maybe he thinks he has drunk it. The medicine doesn't hurt anymore." If the water and

rice haven't been added for several days, this person should be dysfunctional. To put it bluntly, it is for psychological comfort.

Li Qinghe turned to enter the door, grabbed the medicinal materials and gave him, "This medicine will be dark as soon as it boils, so you don't need that much." After

sending the couple away, Li Fu entered the door, "I came here to find me with you, so I was afraid of you. No medication."

Someone did come to Li Qinghe earlier to ask Li Qinghe for medicinal materials, but can this thing be given casually? She is not a doctor, what if she is eaten badly by someone? Even if the food is not bad, it will delay the illness. Therefore, no matter who came to ask for medicinal materials, he was refused, and he asked the doctor if he wanted to take medicine.

"The third brother was also very good to me at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be... just two days." He shook his head, "It's really meaningless for a lifetime." As soon as the voice fell, Xiyu walked in.

Li Fu's face instantly burst into a smile, and the corners of his mouth were grinning behind his ears, "

Hey Yu is here, do you miss Grandpa?" Seeing his happy appearance, it doesn't seem like being alive and boring.

Sure enough, two days later, in the days when the sky was snowing, Li Qinghe's uncle was gone.

Even if it is colder and there is a funeral in the village, everyone still has to come to help. Naturally, Li Qinghe wanted to go too, speaking of whom he was quite close. Her grandfather Li Kui's cousin was the grandfather of the eldest brother that day.

Li Kui sent away his cousin a few years ago, and now he sent away his nephew, quite sad.

Funerals are always sad. Even if there are good things in the family, they will not be too happy in the funeral.

The funeral usually lasts for more than two days, and the meals at the beginning are the same as usual, only the meal on the day of the burial will be better.

Everyone here is tying the coffins and preparing to send them up the mountain, and the seats are opened over there. At this moment, a group of people arrived at the door.

They were all five big and three rough, they looked fierce and evil, and they were the same group of people who lived in the Yang family.

Everyone knows that the Yang family recently invited a lot of people to live in their homes, but these people don't usually come out, and they go to work in the mountains when they come out, and they don't know the people in the village at all.

This was probably the first time everyone had close contact with them. When they arrived, they went to the table and yelled for food. If you observe carefully, you will find that they are not the strong labor of ordinary dealers at all. Where did it come from... the robbers?

Everyone couldn't help being far away from them, especially this group was all men, the older girls and the little wives all hid in the kitchen and couldn't get out.

Upon seeing this, someone quietly went to the host's house, and whether they would serve food or not, they had to come up with a charter. They didn't help at first. Secondly, just enter the door and sit down, not as if you are going to give a funeral ceremony.

Li Qingsong is helping to put a rope on the coffin. This is very important. Generally, if the coffin is not carried to the place, the coffin cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it is unlucky. So the rope had to be strong, and it had to be tied so that it could not slip off. It was a hard work. On a cold day, there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

Hearing this, he looked at the people outside and frowned, "So, you help me ask what the Yang family really means? Let them come and take their own people away."

The person who came to report the letter also Not an outsider, after hearing this, he turned around and slipped out of the yard and went to the Yang family.

☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 114

The Yang family and the Xu family didn't come today as if they had negotiated. They looked around in the yard and found no one, and the helper quickly ran to the Yang family's side.

But he came back in a quarter of an hour, "Qingsong, the Yang family said they can't control these people. If you really don't want to feed them, you don't want to show it."

Li Qingsong went under the eaves and frowned because he didn't. Speaking, so the two tables have not served food yet, because they have waited too long and they are already knocking on the table.

"What's the matter with this family? Can't we help you carry the funeral at that time?" He looked very impatient.

It's really not possible for anyone to carry out the funeral. It has to be the younger generation of the deceased, and Li Qingsong himself has to invite them one by one, and there will be thank you later, such as a pack of peanuts.

The coffin will go up the mountain in a while, and the person who carried the funeral has already been pleased. Where are these strangers needed?

Seeing those people clamoring more and more, Li Qingsong gritted his teeth and said, "Serve them food."

"Yang

family ! When this is over, I must ask them for an explanation." In fact, every family in the village came to the door, whether it was a happy event or a funeral. The people here are all sincerely willing to help. Even if the two families are at odds, as long as they come, they won't be uncomfortable with the host's family.

The Yang family is so unkind.

These people said they were invited by the Yang family and lived there, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that these people were clearly found by the Xu family.

When the food was put on the table, the people over there began to gobble up, but they didn't knock on the table anymore, but after a few breaths, they started to knock again, "Adding vegetables!"

Adding vegetables was possible a few days ago, after all. There is not enough home-cooked food, but it is generally not added today, because the dishes will be better, each table has a fixed amount, and it may not be enough after adding.

The coffin here is about to go out, and Li Qingsong doesn't care about it anymore, "Tim."

Whenever someone in the village has problems, Li Qinghe will come to help, most of the time in the kitchen. Hearing that she wanted to add food, she thought about it, packed a few plates of vegetarian dishes over there and brought it out, and whispered to the Li family brothers who came to serve the food with a look of disgust, "You are polite, just say they are late. Now, the meat dishes are gone, so I'll just eat them."

The person who served the dishes was not stupid. It was instantly clear. After the food was delivered, he said Li Qinghe's words with a smiley face.

Those people did not continue to clamor, and added two more times during the period.

To tell the truth, there are people in the village who can eat like them, but they are not so indifferent. It is a rare thing in the village to threaten the owner to add food.

They have been eating without leaving the table. They have been buried in the mountain over there, and they are still drinking. In this big winter, you can sit down and stand it.

When Li Qingsong entered the door, he frowned, "Who brought the wine?"

Someone sighed, "The wine is under the eaves, and they took it themselves. The whole pot is there, I want to hide it,"

Too late." Li Qingsong immediately became angry. Anyway, his father had already been buried at this moment, and the funeral was over, so he went out to Xu's house with a knife in a huff.

Looking at his posture, people in the village were afraid that something would happen, so many people followed him at the moment.

The Xu family are all at home. Li Qingsong kicked the door open with a "bang" and shouted, "Get out!" The

door was hit. The Xu family quickly went out, but they were all at home, even the Xu family who lived in the Yang family. The brothers are back.

"What is this?" Mother Xu frowned.

Li Qingsong is not polite, "You don't care about the two tables in my yard? Whose family is like yours, let us provide you with a long-term job? Didn't you give them food for half a month?"

Xu mother stepped forward, "They too People, I have long legs, where can we control it?"

"Can't control it?" Li Qingsong asked with a sneer, "Then you are talking about, where did you find those people?"

Xu Mu paused and said quickly, "Can you control it?"

Li Qinghe stood in the crowd, thinking about those people carefully. Before today, the people in the village would say at most: looking at the big five and three rough, they didn't expect to be unable to work.

Looking at their eating and tone movements today, they don't look like ordinary dealers at all. It's like a rascal.

Moreover, there is another most important thing. There are so many people in Wang Village, the in-laws are all over the whole Luoyue Town, and there are even girls from the neighboring town who have married, and none of them knows even one of them.

It also proves that these people are from other places.

"I don't care." Li Qingsong nodded, "Then you go and call people away, or I will go to town to find the mayor's reporter. Someone will snatch things from my house."

Hearing this, Xu's mother was anxious, "Your family. For errands, if someone comes to your door, that's a guest. Isn't it just to eat your meal, and go to the mayor to complain..."

She looked like she didn't mean to call people back. Li Qingsong nodded and looked at Zhou Chengkang. "Brother-in-law, please lend me your carriage."

Zhou Chengkang responded, and seeing the two of them go out, he really wanted to find someone in the town. Mother Xu was anxious, "Isn't it possible for me to bark? Stingy!" When

Xu's mother walked in, the two tables were still drinking. She walked to the table and said, "Sangou, take them back when they are almost done. "

Sangou is the brawny headed man, waved his hand, "Brothers have to drink."

Mother Xu looked at the table and smiled, "It's the same if you take the wine back to drink."

"What do you mean?" The name is San. The strong man with the dog patted the table and stood up, "Does this mean you are embarrassing? But you said that all the vegetables that let us come over to eat are all vegetarian dishes. It's not a good idea to borrow a place to drink?"

Xu's mother hurriedly laughed. "No, they have to clean up the table and return it to each family. The weather is too cold and they want to go back and rest after finishing the business. You drink here, and they can't go back home. The host's kindness and kindness let you eat, and you let it too. They are convenient..."

"That's OK." Sangou got up and picked up the hip flask. "Brothers, let's go!"

Seeing a group of people go screaming and drinking, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At first glance, they felt that the person who came was unkind, not like a good person. However, it is reasonable.

Li Qingsong was still angry, but he just left, he really made a fuss, annoyed people, and if he really fights, he may not be able to fight.

A group of brawny men listened to the words of the three dogs and did not dare to provoke them.

There are not many things in the winter, and there are still a few that took advantage of the time before the happy event. The Xu family seems to be enjoying the sweetness. Every time there is a happy event, they let this group of people come out to eat, and the host's wine is just hidden. When they found it, they couldn't drive away, and they were a little anxious. The Sangou was very fierce, and they didn't drink until it was dark every time.

Moreover, when they ate, their eyes always looked at the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law, so that the eldest girl's house was not gone, and the young daughter-in-law left the kitchen unwilling to go out, or went home by herself while others were not paying attention.

After a few more visits, someone found the village chief, a group of big men, and there were many big girls in the village. In case something went wrong, it would be over. You can't make your own girl their daughter-in-law, right?

The village chief was also embarrassed. After all, these people didn't do anything, but there were too many people looking for him. He also went to Xu's house and asked them to take people away. If you really want to invite people, you can invite them after the beginning of spring.

Xu's mother promised well, but what about those people who looked back, compared to not going out before, now they are still hanging around in the village occasionally.

Li Qinghe heard of these and raised two more dogs.

If you say that the village is wealthy, it's their home now. Don't say whether they have the mind or not, you have to be on guard.

Donglassi pulled into the twelfth lunar month, and those people still did not leave, and Li Qinghe and the two began to fish and sell.

This fish is still alive when caught in the town. Some people like to buy it earlier, which is cheaper. The price will definitely increase during the two days of the Chinese New Year. Anyway, I brought it back and kept it in a bucket for ten and a half months.

They started selling fish here, and Xu Changjie's fish also went to the town. The whole twelfth lunar month was busy selling fish, and Li Qinghe didn't pay much attention to what happened in the village.

On the night of the twenty-ninth lunar month, suddenly she heard screams coming from the direction of the Yang family next door.

At the same time, there was a rapid knock on the door, "Open the door! Open the door!" The

grumpy male voice was outside, smashing the door and kicking the door. Compared with other homes, the door of Li Qinghe's house is new. The wall was still green brick, and it was exceptionally strong. The two of them stood in the yard and couldn't go out.

But the rhubarb at the door led the two puppies and was still yelling, right at the door.

It seems that the person has not left yet.

Anyway, the two of them are not curious whether they are gone, as long as they don't come in, when it was almost dawn, they saw someone appearing on the wall and they actually took a ladder and wanted to come in.

When someone got down, Zhou Chengkang took a wooden stick and slammed it up, hitting him so badly.

Probably after hearing the movement inside, no one came in outside. Rhubarb also gradually stopped calling, and there should be no one outside.

Li Qinghe found a rope to tie up the people, and the two lighted the torch to see clearly that it was one of the people invited by the Yang family next door.

In fact, it is not surprising that there have been few thieves in the village for many years, and there have been no such people who want to snatch things in the house for many years. In addition, Zhao Tianfu and the others will not be able to get out for a few years after being caught. The lesson from the past is that these people in the village would never dare.

Only these outsiders can think about it. The two woke people up with cold water and asked, "Where do you all come from? Where do you live? How come you came to Xu's house?"

Don't ask why he overcame the wall. In fact, it's nonsense to ask. Want to steal something.

The man's eyes were swollen, and he squinted to see. In fact, it was still dark, and he couldn't see anything at all. He took a mouthful of blood and sneered, "He has the ability to kill Lao Tzu."

"I didn't dare to say it . It's the same as killing you." Zhou Chengkang swiped the stick and beat it, no matter what, anyway, it counts where you hit it.

At first, the man rolled around and evaded. Later, when Zhou Chengkang started viciously, he hurriedly said, "Don't fight!" The

dealers are actually quite simple, like Zhou Chengkang who beat people to death, maybe they will find all of them. Less than.

Zhou Chengkang was another bat, knocking him scream, and sneered, "If you dare to jump over the wall, you deserve

to be beaten to death." "Don't tell me? Don't tell me to continue fighting!"

At this time, the sky was already dark, the man There are blood stains on the clothes and muddy water, saying, "We...cough cough...we came out of prison."

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 115

Hearing this, the two of them were surprised when they were surprised. These people themselves did not look like good people at first sight, and they were... normal when they came out of prison.

Zhou Chengkang asked again, "What did you do to get in? Or did you get in together?"

"No." The man saw the stick in his hand and said hurriedly, "Some of them are bandits who have been killed. I just stood aside to cheer. I just stole something in, and came out just one day with them, and I heard the third brother say that there is a place to go and that there is food to eat, and then I followed."

The third brother in his mouth should be that one. Three dogs, "How did the three dogs know that they were coming to our village?"

"I met the father and son of the Yang family, and they happened to live next door. Here they went to the county town to pick us up." The

Yang family father and son?

Those who can be released should not be extremely vicious. For example, Zhao Tianfu and the others have been sentenced to overcoming the wall and entering the room for more than ten years. These people are quite young, and they should all be petty thefts. Li Qinghe frowned, "You are used to stealing chickens and dogs, why would you be willing to help their family honestly?"

"I didn't say that before coming. The third brother said that the father and son of the Yang family lied to him. He clearly said he would take us to take refuge. , I didn't expect the Xu family to deceive people. At first, they said that we should help us to hide our identities. I didn't expect that it was really let us work. We were so picky at ordinary times. We didn't see the meat and fish for half a year. That's just to force us. Work. The third brother said he wanted to take us away, but... after he came, he didn't want to leave. The Xu family said that if we dare to leave, they will go to town to tell us to steal something..." He gasped. After a few breaths, he sighed again, "We have all been in jail. Anyone who says we stole something will surely be believed by outsiders. It's not shit or shit, it's not clear. Anyway, he said that we are. They will steal things, so they can't be wronged..."

So, I really came to steal things.

The Yang family likes speculation the most, and they dare to do anything for labor that doesn't need money.

Threatening these people is not afraid of being beaten back.

In fact, the last time I saw in Li Qingsong's house, these people were very rude to the Xu family, but when they really argued, the three dogs would still compromise and seemed a little jealous.

"It's okay now, you really stole something. It won't work if you don't send you to the mayor." Zhou Chengkang threw away the stick in his hand, "I will send you at dawn. By the way, how many people did you intend to steal last night?" "Not many people, just the Yu family behind." He was a little depressed. "I usually hear that your family is rich and rich. The Yang family's wealth is only superficially, it looks generous, but in fact it is the most stingy... after so long, one We never let us eat any meat." He gritted his teeth, "If I meet the Yang family father and son again, I will definitely not let him go. And Zhao Tianfu, his mother must have taken advantage of it. Testimony that the Yang family is rich, noble and kind. , I was so miserable to deceive us." Li Qinghe kindly reminded, "If you go back now, you will definitely run into it." You have to have a good beating then. The sky outside gradually brightened. Zhou Chengkang was a little worried when he said that someone was going to Yu's house. He looked through the back door and saw two people tied up in Min Rui's yard. Twisting them out of the village, the road to the Yang's house was blocked, and they could only pass through the village. There were a lot of people on the road. These people did indeed go to the homes they were looking at last night, and it was up to them. Sangou robbed Yang's family by picking it himself, and he got his hands on it. Not only did he get the silver from the Yang family's fish selling, but also the last jewelry left by Yang's mother, and beat the two Xu Changjie brothers. In the end, , He ran away by himself. After such a major incident, the village head came forward and went to the village to look around, and found that the Communist Party had caught these three, and the others ran away. There were three other families who were stolen, ranging from five taels to one taels. Wait, if you count it, a few of the dozen or so people didn't participate and ran away on their own. Anyway, there were five people coming to Li Qinghe's yard, but one was caught, and the others had already ran away when they saw that the situation was wrong. The stolen family in the village twisted these three people to the mayor's house, and also brought people from the Yang family and Xu family.

The Yang family's mother and daughter don't need to be brought by the villagers, and they have to report the case to the mayor's house. Mother Yang's last little jewelry at the bottom of the box was completely gone, she was going to seek justice for herself.

When such a big incident occurred in the village, the mayor did not dare to deal with ordinary thief, especially according to the confession of the three people, among the dozens of people who committed the incident, ran out to hide without going to jail. All have records, just waiting to be caught back and go to jail. Wangcun is remote, and outsiders don't know after people come. It's a long time after hiding. No one doubts it.

The Xu Yang family deliberately harbored prisoners, and the charges were not light.

The mayor sent the three people and Xu Yang's family to the county seat, but

Li Qinghe didn't suffer any loss, so they didn't follow.

It is also a very bad thing to harbor more than a dozen prisoners and attack the people in the village, not to mention in the town, even in the county.

On the fifth day of the first month, the inquiries sent by the county seat arrived. Basically, every family in the village visited and brought back a thick pile of testimonies. The Xu family condoned those people who worked in the village. At that time, all the things that were taken by force were recorded.

The most talked about in the village recently is about these people, but there is more important thing than that, that is, spring plowing.

The weather in the first month of this year was good, and every family was busy turning the ground, and Li Qinghe was no exception.

The village chief has already made a statement before the judgment on the county seat is over, and it is forbidden to invite such people of unknown origin to live in the village for a long time. It was Yu Ermo and his wife who were also sent back by the village head to find their own village head to write a letter to prove their origin. Otherwise, the village would not be able to keep them.

Every family here in the village is busy with spring plowing, and people who are greedy for the dark in the morning, gradually no one mentions that group of people. However, the Yang family's land and the barren woods that they bought still have no one to plant. In the spring, it looks extremely desolate. It was the bright blue brick house of the Yang family. Because of the good rain in the spring, there was no one to live in for two months, and the yard was full of grass and looked a little depressed.

Li Qinghe still hired people this year, but in the newly opened more than ten acres of land, not all grain was grown, but some medicinal materials were left. If she really kept the seeds, it would be very fast, but the seeds left over a year, if she wanted to, would have been able to plant all the land.

Now just start, slowly try to plant.

Just when the villagers were busy farming, Hu Yanxi from the town came back. He took part in the township examination last year and failed the exam. He waited three years before going back.

Even a county test is not easy to take, so how easy is the country test?

It's normal to fail the list. You should know that being on the list in the township examination is just like a master, if you have the talent, you can directly find a good position to be an official, but you are an official.

Soon after Hu Yanxi came back, Zhao Wanwan was kicked out by his mother because she was in poor health, and there was no good news for several years.

Unfilial piety is the biggest after three years. She hasn't done anything for three years. Hu Yanxi divorced her for this reason.

The Xiucai lady in Wangcun was divorced and returned home.

Zhao Wanwan went back to the village and went directly to live with Qian. She also raised Zhao Tianfu's child, and she has now changed her surname to Qian. Zhao Tianfu's land was also picked up by her. Recently, she was worried about not being able to find anyone to plow.

She has no money if she wants to hire someone. Plant it yourself... she won't!

Not at all, someone has to lead it. However, she has a bad reputation now. Although she is older, she is indeed beautiful, and no woman can rest assured that her man will lead her in farming. In addition, she couldn't pay her wages, so no one really wanted to help.

Li Qinghe would know this, and I still listened to Lanhua. She is holding her belly and was born in May or June. Zhao Dashan would not let her work, and she ran over to talk to her sister because she was bored.

For this younger sister, Li Qinghe still quite likes, can talk, is also diligent in her hands, and often makes clothes for Xiyu. The money used to buy fabrics for the clothes was all the "wages" sent to her by Li Qinghe. People really didn't mean to take advantage of her. She was really helpful when she said to help. I didn't keep any wages, so I might have posted some in it.

There are many people working on the back mountain. The two sisters were talking in the yard, and they heard someone knocking on the door outside. They were quite anxious. Lanhua held his stomach and opened it. An anxious mother Zhou stood at the door, "Something happened to the boss." a. "

" What? "asked Li Qing Dutch curiosity.

Zhou's mother was very anxious, "Mei Hua fought with him somehow, and said that he was going to get together, or it was yesterday."

She was anxious, Li Qinghe's face was flat, "Mother wants to see it? I will let Chengkang take you there. "It's

okay to send her to the town, just as it is to send her mother to the town, but the couple will never interfere.

Zhou Mu didn't care about her indifferent attitude. After Zhou Chengkang came back, she sent her and Zhou Laosan in a carriage. In fact, it's the busiest time in the village. I choose to be noisy at this time, and I don't know why.

Just in the afternoon of the same day, the mayor came to the village in person, and it turned out that the county town had the results.

There were many people standing beside the big tree at the entrance of the village. The village chief and the mayor stood on high ground and said: Most of the people who ran away were also arrested. They were all sentenced according to the law. They turned into Li Qinghe's house and were sentenced. For ten years.

The money lost by the other three families in the village was also recovered. To be precise, it was not recovered, but after they were arrested, the family gathered them together in order to let them come out as soon as possible.

In general, there was no actual loss in the village except for a shock.

But even so, the Yang family and the Xu family have to pay for their actions.

Xu Changjie, who went to the county to pick up people in person, deliberately harbored the prisoner and was sentenced to eight years in prison. The Xu family knew nothing about it, and the whole family went to jail, each with three years in prison. As for the unknowing Yang family's mother and daughter, they were released back.

Yang Lanrou didn't know?

Li Qinghe was a little unbelievable. The two of them were as good as they were. It was her father's mastermind that took these people to work, she didn't know?

It should be someone who thought she didn't know, but knew the inside story, such as Xu Changjie, who directly concealed the matter.

Anyway, the mother and daughter have returned.

After the matter was finished, the mayor left. The village head also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the villagers.

There was a bold person who directly suggested, "The village chief, the Yang family was originally a person who moved in. After they came, they stole things and harbored criminals. Can we stop them from living?"

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 116

Hearing this, the village chief said with a straight face, "One more thing, all the ponds and land in Yangjia Village, including the hillsides, must be sold. If any of you are interested, you can go to my house and find me."

Sell?

Everyone became curious, and asked directly if they had a good relationship with the village chief's family.

The village head didn't mean to hide it for them, saying, "They bought the money from the hillside. The Xu family asked the gambling house in the town to double the profit after a year. Now there's something wrong with their family. People have found the mayor, and they have to pay it now. If not, they have to go to the county office to distinguish."

"I asked, and Mrs. Yang said that the pond and land were sold and returned to the other side. As long as it is there. Twenty taels."

Ten acres of sloping land cost twelve taels. The five acres of wasteland here, apart from the house, plus the pond, should work if you really want it.

But if you don't want it, it's a bit tasteless and expensive.

Immediately there was humanity, "It's about the same

if you add a house ." If you add a house, it's a good deal. A house is more than ten taels of silver.

The village chief glared at the person who spoke, "You are clever. You don't know about some things. The Xu family has committed a crime. All the houses and land belonging to the Xu family will be handed over to the public. Therefore, you want to buy the Xu family house and land. Anyone can go to the town to find the mayor." In

other words, the house where the mother and daughter of the Yang family live is now under the title deed of Xu Changjie, and the mother and daughter can no longer live in it.

"That's too expensive." Someone shook his head.

In fact, it is not expensive. The five acres of land next to the house is now poor land, and the harvest is not good, but it is indeed impossible to generalize it to wasteland. If you want to buy land, it is still possible.

But apart from Li Qinghe in the village, no one bought the barren forest.

Therefore, the land of the Yang family's mother and daughter is likely to be smashed in their hands.

After the matter was finished, Li Qinghe took Xiyu home. When passing by the Li's house, he found that Zhao Wanwan was already there with a child in her hands. It was Zhao Tianfu's, who was regarded as her half-brother.

Seeing her here, Li Qinghe pushed the door in and listened to her, "Father, I just ask you to help us. I will pay the wages. The wages will have to be paid after the autumn harvest. It depends on the love of so many years, if you don't Help us, no one in the village will help us. You can't watch me and my mother get hungry, can you?"

"Pay the money after the autumn harvest." Li Qinghe answered, "Why don't you ask anyone? Why do you have to ask? My father?"

Zhao Wanwan turned her head when she heard the voice, frowning slightly, "Sister, after all I have lived in this house for several years, do you just ignore it at all?"

Affection?

Li Qinghe sneered, "When your days were good, we couldn't get any light. Now that we are down and back, do we have to get entangled with your mother and daughter in the Li family? Even if my father marries another, you will be blind I can't normally see it anymore?"

"Our Li family has nothing to do with your mother and daughter!" When the

words fell, she looked at the silent Liu clan, "Aunt Liu, you should let the dog go when she sees her, why bother with How nonsense is she?"

Liu Shi smiled awkwardly and glanced at Li Fu.

Li Qinghe knew what she meant in an instant, this was an attitude of scruples Li Fu.

Li Fu has stretched out his hand to hug Xiyu. Yu Guang saw Zhao Wanwan's expression of crying without crying, and said, "Let's go. I have done my best to raise a daughter for Zhao Tianfu, and it is impossible to raise a son for him. I am. Li Fu doesn't owe him. I don't say what you owe or not. You don't have to come to the house in the future. I have a good time."

To say that Li Fu didn't come to the house after the stepdaughter Zhao Wanwan became a talented lady. Fake, now it's really coming to the door, in fact it's just like that. I didn't feel too happy, but rather lost.

Because it proves that the mother and daughter really treat him as a fool who has no bottom line to indulge them.

Zhao Wanwan cried for a long time, but didn't leave.

Li Qinghe was annoyed and said directly, "Aunt Liu, I'll send a dog home in a while."

"You see my joke too?" Zhao Wanwan couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "My body is cold. It's because you did too much work in your home, and I didn't ask you to pay for it. Now you despise me. I can't be a talented lady because of you." A

woman's body is cold, and it does matter if she often touches cold water in peacetime. Especially if you touch cold water in winter when your body and menstrual events come, you will definitely catch cold.

However, Li Fu can't be blamed for this, right?

Li Qinghe wanted to speak, but her father over there had already said solemnly, "When your mother took you to my house, I thought I was good to you and never treated you badly. You should not blame me for the cold. I have an order. Have you ever done

anything ?" It was all ordered by Qian, and even because she was lazy, Zhao Wanwan was in charge of this parent inside and out.

Before Zhao Wanwan's tears fell, Li Qinghe sneered, "Your mother doesn't protect you, but you blame your stepfather? No one in this whole village knows, my father raised you, and then you become a talented lady and you turn your face away. Recognizing people?"

"Our Li family treats your mother and daughter with the utmost benevolence, and you will not be allowed to come back!"

Then, Li Qinghe took her collar and lifted the siblings out of the Li family yard, and pushed the people out ruthlessly , Closed the door with a bang, "Go away." It's

all like this, it's purely a torn face, and in the future, anyone who wants a face should not come to the door.

If Li Fu didn't help himself, it would be useless for them to come back many times. Besides, people's hearts are grown in flesh. Liu Clan's management outside home and outside home in Su Ri, hushing cold and asking warmth, isn't he not feeling it?

He used to be kind to Zhao Wanwan, but it was because he was interested in the Qian family. Now that the Qian family has lost that affection, he would not even see the Qian family. How could he be tempted by Zhao Wanwan's persuasion?

After returning, Li Qinghe really sent a dog over. Every time he saw the mother and daughter, he would start howling from afar.

After Zhou Chengkang came back here, Li Qinghe asked about the quarrel between the two bosses.

"I don't know what it is for?" Zhou Chengkang shook his head. "The eldest brother said that someone always came to buy tofu at home, and the sister-in-law was more enthusiastic about her hospitality..."

He didn't say anything next, but Li Qinghe already understood.

Boss Zhou looks very angry on the surface, but he is actually careful. But in this Luoyue Town, it is not much for the couple to get together for this kind of thing. Many people quarrel behind closed doors, even if it really matters, they won't cause trouble.

After a quarrel, within two days, Mr. Zhou sold the yard in the town, and the couple moved back to Zhou's house.

Unexpectedly this will be the result!

People go to high places, not to mention that more and more family businesses go to the county seat, how can they move back to the village?

Li Qinghe didn't ask why, and two days after moving back, Zhang Haiyao brought her child to talk to her.

"It's the sister-in-law who wants to buy someone, saying that she was robbed because there are no servants in their family." Zhang Haiyao smiled and shook her head. "Big brother refuses. He doesn't think it is necessary. You can save the money. The sister-in-law wants to buy it. A couple also said that someone in your family is waiting..." She lowered her voice, "You don't know, sister-in-law bought some gold bracelets quietly."

Li Qinghe was dumb.

It seems that Mei really likes these things, so she doesn't hesitate to buy them and wear them too, maybe she doesn't want to do housework anymore.

No one wants to do housework because of cumbersome housework. As you can see from usual times, Mei's actually doesn't like it. Don't look at Zhang Haiyao's family being richer than them, but when they are rich, they don't look dirty. Look at Xiwei to know that the clothes on her body are always clean.

Anyway, the outsiders of the two of them did not know why they wanted to quarrel with each other. Maybe it was these trivial things. The two accused each other and quarreled every day. .

I'm fine now, I moved back, and I went to the town to sell tofu every day as I did when I was just married. After knowing that they had sold the town's yard, many people came to borrow money.

Boss Zhou is much more generous than his younger brother, but he can basically borrow it whenever someone comes to the door. But one thing is that you have to write an IOU, and you have to make money. Although it is not as dark as a gambling house, you have to harvest 10%.

Because of the need to collect profit, many people come to borrow money, but not many people are really willing to pay for it.

In a blink of an eye, it was May, and the weather became warmer and warmer. On that day, a government office suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

It just so happened that there were so many people enjoying the coolness at the entrance of the village, and I was quite surprised. Those government officials with big swords seemed to come to get people. Followed all the way, watching Yacha go straight to Zhou's house.

Mr. Zhou and his wife were taken away.

The people in the village talked a lot, and they didn't know what they had committed. As soon as the people there took away, Zhou's mother came over and held Heili. He walked in and said, "Fourth old, hurry up and ask, what the hell is the boss for?"

Li Qinghe didn't know, but it's okay to send Zhou's mother to the town to find out. It's not that he is worried, but that I'm afraid that I might be implicated, so I have to know the reason, right? In the middle of the night, Zhou Chengkang, mother and son, came back, and learned the ins and outs from the mayor. It turned out that Mr. Zhou picked up a few packs of silver when he went out selling tofu in the morning. The total amount was dozens of taels. Moved back. What to leave, what to buy someone for fear of being robbed, what to displease Zhou Boss because of Mei's enthusiasm for his guests, all of them are fake, all to cover up the most basic reason why the two moved home. Zhou Chengkang held the bowl, "The eldest brother said it was picked up, but he didn't admit it, it doesn't mean that he was involved." It turned out that it was the person who ran out of Yang's house last time. Anyone who went to the county seat was caught. But two people who walked up the mountain ran away. After hiding in the mountain for so long, they couldn't stand it anymore. After going down the mountain, the two ran to rob the wealthy households in the town, thinking about going away after making a vote.

But the family desperately resisted, and accidentally killed the husband and wife. After they got on the street, the more they thought about it, the more they became afraid. They were sentenced to ten or eight years for just following the robbery. of. In the end, I simply divided the silver into several pieces and threw it in half. The more people who picked it up, the more they could share some crimes.

Boss Zhou, who just woke up in the morning and sold tofu, picked it up, and he also picked up all three packs of silver that others had lost. He insisted that he picked it up by himself, but the two people over there insisted that he was also involved, and that the person was killed by him.

The one who can testify for Boss Zhou is Mei's. She can prove that he did not go out that night, but her testimony is not counted, and the couple who were killed there have no match.

Boss Zhou said that he picked up the silver, but no one saw him pick it up with his own eyes, so he couldn't make it clear. He was taken to the county jail that day.

Chapter 117:

Zhou Chengkang ran away for a long time, and now he had the meal. He gobbled up two bowls, took the dishes to the kitchen, and went to wash up again. After entering the door, Xi Yu had already fallen asleep.

"Mother is very worried." Lying on the bed, Zhou Chengkang said in a low voice.

Li Qinghe didn't answer, no matter how bad Zhou Boss is, Zhou Mu, as a mother, must be worried.

It was quiet at night, and from time to time the dog barking in the village came, and the two gradually fell asleep.

The next day it was dark, and someone knocked on the door outside, Zhou Chengkang got up and opened, and then Zhou's mother's voice came in.

"No matter what grudges your elder brother has with you, you are always two brothers. You can't ignore him at this time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinghe opened his eyes, cloaked and got up and went out. It's not cold in the morning in May, and I saw Zhou Mu in the yard at a glance.

Zhou Chengkang was washing, but he didn't answer this.

Seeing Li Qinghe coming out, Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed, "Qinghe, be careful at home these days, take Xiyu with you, and we will go back."

"Mother, I didn't say to go." Zhou Chengkang wiped it with a kerchief. his face, "the county too far, I have something woods."

Zhou mother looking slightly changed, "you mean you do not control your brother? grudge between brothers first put up, that we should unanimously."

this When he woke up, he couldn't sleep anymore. Li Qinghe also went to wash, and asked, "Mother, third brother?"

Zhou Mu dumbly said, "What is he going to do? The fourth child has been to the county town several times, and he can find his way. The most important thing is that Lin Zhixian knows the fourth child. If he helps intercede, the magistrate will definitely check it carefully."

"Others don't know, you two always know your eldest brother's temperament. He just became greedy for a while, not Go to kill people. As long as you check carefully, he will definitely be fine."

It was a clear calculation that the two of them knew Lin Zhixian, but why should they beg for Boss Zhou?

Zhou Chengkang had gone into the kitchen to cook, but he didn't mean to pack up and leave.

Mother Zhou was anxious and chased into the kitchen, "Fourth, you are so..."

"Mother." Li Qinghe entered the door holding the firewood, "We are the brothers of the eldest brother, but there are two elder brothers and three elder brothers above. Even if my brother gets married, he is still from the Zhou family, right? If they go, we will go together. If they don't go, why do we have to go?"

"Also, if Sister-in-law doesn't go, we won't go. "Li Qinghe looked serious, "It's not easy to ask for help. If you don't say anything else, you just want to see your eldest brother and ask the inside story. If you don't have money, you can't see people at all, and you may not be able to see people if you have money. It's impossible for us to see the money. Post it?" "In fact, when my eldest brother brought Chengkang into the woods to feed the wolf, he never thought that he would ask for this younger brother. Sister-in-law didn't come personally, so we wouldn't take the initiative to go, lest people dislike it. We are troublesome ." When I mentioned the childhood incident again, Zhou's mother's face paled, "I am to blame for that. For a mother, a child in the world, the eldest at that time actually didn't understand it, but I didn't take good care of the old. Four... It's not the time to talk about this. Find the boss first, and then we will talk about this, okay?" "You said you want Meihua to come in person, I'll go." She turned and hurried away. Originally, when you ask for someone, you have to beg for someone. What is the matter if the old mother is asked to come forward for everything? If Mei really came to invite Li Qinghe, it didn't matter, Zhang Haiyao would definitely sneer. Since Lady Liu died, her eyes were high, and these concubines hadn't been in her eyes. Now that Boss Zhou has something wrong, she hasn't come forward yet, waiting for these people to take the initiative to help? It's beautiful! Mei's came really fast, with a sincere attitude, "Fourth brother, this time I really trouble you to help. Second and third brothers, I have said, and they will also go together." "It's just that there is still something. "She was a little embarrassed, "I didn't plan to go before because Healy was at home and I have to take care of the children. Now if I go, can Healy be sent to you?"

"Don't!" Li Qinghe raised his hand and refused, "If Xili didn't expect something to happen, you wouldn't be able to say that we deliberately retaliate? Let Sansao show it to you."

Mei's face was pale, "The third sibling said she also thought. "Go."

"What about Xiwei?" Li Qinghe asked in surprise, "Isn't it also delivered?"

No wonder she asked. It is two days away from the county seat. Adults find it hard, not to mention children. What's more, I don't know when this case will be tried until it will be tried. It is impossible to say one or two months, but one or two years are possible.

"She wants to take Xiwei with her." Speaking of this, Mei's complexion was not very good. She was obviously going to save people, but Zhang Haiyao made it seem like she was going back to her family's home.

Just go back to your mother's house!

Since Zhang's family moved to the county seat, she hasn't been there once in the past few years. She occasionally receives news from there. Maybe Zhang's family is doing well these days, and sometimes they send her things.

"Then you'd better bring it with you." Li Qinghe said calmly, "It is inevitable that the children will bump into each other together, so that you don't worry, I don't have to worry about it." In the

afternoon, a wagon full of talents packed up and set off. After leaving, Li Qinghe had to go back to Zhou's yard to help Zhang Haiyao feed the chickens.

This chicken has been fed by Zhou Laosan since he had a baby, and it is specially for the baby to eat eggs. I went back all the time, and she also stopped by the Li's house. I met a lot of people on the way, and many people were curious to ask her: How is the boss?

Li Qinghe only answered that he didn't know.

She really didn't know.

If it can be proved that Boss Zhou did not participate, it would be okay, if no evidence can be found to prove his innocence, and the two people over there insist on saying that if he participates, maybe he will pay for his life, then it really won't come back.

Everyone in the village knows that the Zhou brothers have gone to the county seat to find a way. It is slack in farming and the weather is good. Every family is busy cutting firewood, and some ran out to do part-time jobs. Someone also asked if Li Qinghe's family had anything to help lately.

Yu Yan came this day. Her son did look good, with fair skin, comparable to Xiwei, and at first glance he was a handsome little girl.

"Do you want to buy the land over there?" Yu Yan asked with a smile.

She asked about the wasteland of the Yang family and the barren slope. Li Qinghe shook his head, "I won't buy it for now. The 40 acres behind me are still filling in silver." I'll wait until the medicinal materials can be recovered to earn money.

"Yesterday the mother and daughter begged me to come to me." Yu Yan smiled, "Said the people in the town chased them so hard, and said that they would be sent to the dirty place if they didn't."

This is also normal, what kind of planting. Because of what effect, this is a debt owed by Xu Changjie, and they will definitely not be let go.

No one really bought the wasteland. Even if it was made into Li Qinghe's terraced land, it would barely have a harvest. However, the human and financial resources invested in it are not at all, and no one in this village can afford it.

Within two days, Li Qinghe heard the news. Yang Lanrou went to the mayor and asked him to write a letter for Xu's family and leave for her. Then he took his mother and left the village. No one knew where he went.

As for those barren slopes, ponds, and land, they are all handed over to the mayor to help him make peace, hoping that the creditor will receive these things and the account will be written off.

The mother and daughter ran away, and the creditor had to admit it if he didn't want it.

It is worth mentioning that the pond is a gift from Yang Lanrou for helping the mayor, and the wasteland and slopes are the debts of the Yang family. When Xu Changjie bought the land, he imitated Zhou Chengkang and wrote Huangpo's wife's name. Otherwise, the ten acres of Huangpo would still be handed in, and the debt would not be paid here. It is equivalent to borrowing ten taels of silver to buy a barren slope. After that, you have to buy four acres of land before you can count the debt.

In fact, if Yang's father operated it himself, he would not necessarily get to this point. The main reason was that he hadn't counted Xu mother's stingy with a woman. It was true that those people had a handle, but they couldn't make people anxious. There is a degree during this period, which must be measured. Father Yang can, but Mother Xu can't. If you can't make it, you will lose everything.

Zhou Chengkang and the others really went there for more than a month this time, and when they came back they finally brought the elder Zhou, who had lost a lot of weight.

It was May when I came back, and the weather was hot. When Zhou Chengkang got home, he washed up first. The food here was already on the table. He ate two bowls and sighed, "It's still comfortable at home."

Li Qinghe helped. He poured the tea and asked with a smile, "How? Is it troublesome?"

"Trouble." Zhou Chengkang took the tea, "The two people will not let go. The magistrate interrogates them every day. Later, they found out that they started to kill people. The confession was not

correct , and this cleared the suspicion for the eldest brother." It has not been seen for nearly two months. Zhou Chengkang felt that not only his daughter-in-law looked much better, but even Xiyu seemed to be uplifted. The most important thing was that she was tanned. .

It was as black as a piece of charcoal. When he saw it, he couldn't react for a long time. "Hee Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qinghe was helpless when he saw this. Yu Yan at the back told her son that the boy's face was too white. It was not good, so the two children ran to the sun when they were free, Xiyu was okay, Yan'er's face was peeled from the sun, and it became dark, and it hurt for several days.

"Father, it looks so good." Xi Yu is serious.

The children's aesthetics are really different. Zhou Chengkang sullenly said, "Start tomorrow, practice calligraphy."

I've been playing crazy for these two months. I practice calligraphy when I remember it, and I haven't rubbed ink all day when I don't remember it. .

Xiyu nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Let's be together."

Together?

The next day the father and son really spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to practice calligraphy. After half a day, they have already found the feeling, written well, and have time. Zhou Chengkang said, "We still have to take Dr. Huang, let's pass by. Studying medical science..." As he

was talking, someone knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Mei, "Today's dinner is over. Thanks to my fourth brother, thank you especially for these days."

Mei also lost a lot of weight. His eyebrows were a little haggard, but his eyes were bright.

Since the couple moved to town, they have not invited them to dinner for several years. I still have to go. I helped me decently. I don't feel bad about eating this meal.

When the two went to the village, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Do they spend a lot of money?"

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 118:

Anyway, the silver that Zhou Chengkang brought with him bought snacks and fabric embroidery thread for her and her children, and the cost of this period of time has not been paid for by herself.

"It's a lot of money." Zhou Chengkang led Xi Yu and whispered, "So many people live in the inn, eat and drink, and all the silver that the older brother picked up is returned. Because some of them were bought by them. After buying jewelry, my sister-in-law ran to buy jewelry. It is said that she bought it for seven or eight taels of silver. In the end, she got four taels of silver. It took about twenty taels before and after."

"They should have leftovers from earlier . Quite a lot, and later sold the yard..."

Li

Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Should there be more left?" "There should be more left, there shouldn't be too much." Zhou Chengkang casually said, "They have craftsmanship. Immortal."

This is also true, that tofu can make a lot of money in a year.

The atmosphere was not bad, and Mei was very happy. Although the money was spent, he was saved. Zhang Haiyao was also very happy. This time she went to the county seat from the Zhang family and stayed home for two days, and then she could continue to come and go again. Li Qingmiao doesn't matter, but it's always a good thing to come back safely after a person has been there for nearly two months. The only unhappy person is probably Zhou Boss.

He huddled in the corner and ate silently, not talking much, gobbled up, his whole body was much thinner, and he should have suffered a lot.

When someone asks a question, he just answers and never speaks actively.

It doesn't matter if you don't like to talk, but after so much effort to save people back, there is no thank you, and my heart is always frustrated.

However, this is my elder brother, what else can I do?

At most, there will be less contact in the future.

After a meal, Li Qinghe helped clean up the dishes, and then planned to go home.

However, there was a sudden quarrel in the main room. It was Zhou's voice, with anger and puzzlement, "No, what are you doing?"

Then there was Mr. Zhou's rough voice, "I'm farming." Anyway, after the separation, those lands are enough to feed our family."

When the two of Li Qinghe came in, they saw Mei in the house crying with her face covered, and Xili beside her was also shocked. The child has been taken by Mei recently. After going to the county town, so many people together did not treat him badly. He was also infected with that kind of nervous atmosphere. At this time, he was too scared to cry, his eyes were red.

When Mei met, he hugged him, and the mother and son began to cry.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Chengkang asked aloud, "It's a good thing that the eldest brother is back. This time it is a life of nine deaths. I will live a good life in the future." I

haven't said this. Fortunately, I met Lin Zhixian. With Zhou Chengkang's guarantee, Zhou Chengwen certainly did not kill, and this will be a thorough investigation. If a county magistrate who is not so patient is replaced, with the idea that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, Boss Zhou will not be able to come back at all.

You know, the two robbers were sentenced to be executed at the back of the autumn. If Lin Zhixian hadn't been sitting on it, he was already in death row waiting for the autumn to be executed at the moment.

Still not allowed to collect corpses!

Boss Zhou stood at the table with a serious face and confronted Zhou's mother, but suddenly squatted down, holding his head and crying.

The family of three cried, and Zhou's mother's eyes were red.

Zhang Haiyao quietly touched Li Qinghe's side and said in a low voice, "Just now, my sister-in-law explained that I started selling tofu, but my eldest brother is unwilling."

The boss Zhou over there wailed, "As soon as I went to the street, so many people stared at me! Come up and ask if I have killed anyone? Saying that I have been in prison for two months...I can't bear it, people say I'm a thief!"

Hearing this, Li Qinghe realized in his heart that he probably couldn't accept everyone's strange gazes.

But in fact, people are just curious.

Live your own life, just after a while.

She thought so, and Zhou's mother over there had already said so, "It's just a little bit of success. It's not that I want to force you out, but if you don't go out, others will be more curious to ask questions. If they ask, you just say so. Yes. The thick-skinned one who has been in prison for two months is still a boasting capital. Why is it so difficult to accept when you get here?"

"When you picked up those packs of silver, you didn't think there would be today?"

"Don't mention that silver." Zhou Lao shouted, "The last thing I regret in my life is picking up those packs of silver!

" You regret that things have happened, and I didn't let you pick them up." Zhou Mu was not afraid of him, "What's the use of you being murderous with me? If you have the ability to go out and be brutal

at others by yourself!" The crying mother and son scolded, "Meihua, you make tofu for him tomorrow morning. If you don't go, get out of it. See if you don't have to eat or drink, do you want to be shameless? Let me see, pure Just idle!"

Li Qinghe and the two secretly backed out and went home.

"Big Brother is still embarrassed?" I was quite surprised.

But on another thought, the matter did not fall to him, no one can say that he was hypocritical. After all, two months in jail for the simple village, whether he is really guilty or not, is a piece of talk. And in the eyes of the villagers, there are no good people who are in jail.

"It will be fine after a while." Zhou Chengkang disapproved.

Zhou Mu's words were correct, he didn't want to go, it was before the end of the mountains and rivers.

The more at this time, the more frank and magnanimous. According to their previous intentions, they still want to send Xi Li to study in the town in the future. If Zhou Boss is now guilty, Xi Li will inevitably make people look at him when he is in the town. Besides, if you just farm the land, it would be very difficult to support a scholar.

The more open he is now, the less there will be any discussion in the future.

The next morning, because Zhou Chengkang did not come back for a long time, many things in the house needed to be purchased. The two went to the town early in the morning. When they left the village, they happened to meet Zhou's boss who was so slow and unwilling to go, and saw them. When his carriage came over, he waved his hand hurriedly, "Fourth, take me for a ride." When

others came up, Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Where is your carriage?"

Boss Zhou said silently, "Sold it."

Actually, she can't be blamed. Zhou Chengkang hasn't talked about this yet. In fact, when the husband and wife are alone, they don't talk about other people's homes, especially the two of them. They are not happy with each other. When talking about this, it's not a problem for themselves ?

Seeing him walking on the road now, Li Qinghe just asked casually. Seeing that Boss Zhou's face was not so good, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was really embarrassed in the carriage. She even touched the outside to sit with the father and son.

When he arrived at the town's entrance, he let down the people. Zhou Chengkang saved the carriage and took his wife and children to the street. Today's big fair, the town is very lively, and the autumn harvest will begin in a while. Now these people are busy preparing farm tools to take advantage of. Quite lively.

The family of three went shopping for half a day, after buying things, they went to the jewelry shop in the town. It's not for shopping, but Xu's side asks them to send back a few letters every year.

Sometimes Li Qinghe would stop by when he came to town, this time it was true.

Take it and open it. Xu said in the letter that after the autumn harvest, she will bring Bin'er back to live for a while.

Since she left the town, the mother and daughter have not seen each other for several years, and Li Qinghe missed it a little. The guy greeted them to look at the jewellery. The two refused with a smile. When Zhou Chengkang came back earlier, he helped her bring some, and the town was worse in terms of workmanship and style than in the county.

After going out, the family of three plans to go home. It is now noon, and there are a lot fewer people on the street. When the two arrived at the entrance of the town, they hugged Xiyu into the carriage. Li Qinghe circumvented the carriage from the other side. Suddenly saw a person squatting in front of her when she circumvented the carriage. She was so frightened that her heart was beating. People, she was a little speechless, "Brother, why are you still here?"

Isn't it Boss Zhou who squatted behind the carriage, the two buckets of tofu beside it were really full, and didn't move at all.

"I..." Boss Zhou

tugged his hair, "I dare not go ." Zhou Chengkang reached out and pulled him, "Actually, you worry too much, so many people don't know you." He picked up tofu and took him to the town. Mouth, many people are going to go home at this moment. There are many people passing by. Seeing the tofu are all around, after a few breaths, they sold half a bucket.

However, some people found out that it was Boss Zhou, and asked him with a smile, "Is it all right? They say that there is no bed in the prison, is it true?" They were

just curious and not malicious.

Boss Zhou felt better. Besides, what he had learned to do in business was to welcome people with a smile, not to be stern, and grinned reluctantly, and said, "If you don't have a bed, just sleep on hay."

Hearing that, everyone around him shook their heads, "That's a bad thing, but it's summer. If it's winter, wouldn't it be cold to death?"

Zhou Chengkang only helped him a few breaths before returning home with his wife and children.

In the following days, Boss Zhou went there every day, from the embarrassment at the beginning to the calmness afterwards. After a long time, I found that his mother's words were correct. People asked and asked, and their curiosity was satisfied, so they didn't ask.

In a blink of an eye, in mid-July, the villagers began to dig sweet potatoes. This thing is indeed full, but it is also strenuous and has to be digged out of the soil one by one. The advantage is that the excavated soil has been turned over.

Li Qinghe still invites people, because they can't do much.

Busy, the autumn harvest is over, the cellars and warehouses of each house are full, in fact, after the sweet potatoes, no one in the village is really hungry. Even the neighboring town, or even the neighboring county, can fill up the stomach even in difficult situations with sweet potatoes.

The dealers worked hard for a year, but in fact, it was just to fill their stomachs.

In the evening of autumn, Xu's carriage arrived.

Seeing you after a few years, Xu's eye corners have a few more wrinkles, and Bin'er has grown taller, and there seems to be no change.

It was already night when they arrived. Taking advantage of the moonlight to enter the door, Xu sent away the coachman, leaving behind a woman and Bin'er's book boy.

Let Chen prepare hot water for them to wash, and then go to the kitchen to cook for them.

After washing, Xu's muslin shirt leaned against the kitchen door, smiling as she watched her cooking, "Qinghe, I can't help you."

Li Qinghe was startled and couldn't help laughing, "Mother, why would you say that?"

Xu did not answer this, and smiled, "Fortunately, seeing you are doing well, I am relieved." I ca

n't answer these words. The mother and daughter have not seen each other for several years and they are very close, saying these will be out of sight. Li Qinghe broke the subject and asked with a smile, "How long do you plan to stay?"

"Why? I will chase me away as soon as I arrive?" Xu asked with a smile, and became more serious after the question, "In the future, I may live in the village instead of the county seat."

☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 119:

Why didn't you go?

It's not that she dislikes her mother, but that there is still a child between the Xu family and the Zhang family, which can't be cut off casually.

"They all agreed to come back this time." Xu Shi smiled, "Originally, I said I would stay with you for a few days, who knows the other day... the concubine that the lady helped the master was pregnant. "

Have you another concubine?"

"When did you take a concubine?" Li

Qinghe couldn't help asking, "I didn't listen to the third wife." If it was when they were there, it wouldn't make sense for Zhang Haiyao not to say it.

"Just as they left, they accepted concubines here. At that time, I wrote and said that I would stay there for a while. The reason for suffocating my breath was also because I really missed you. Who knows that planning is better than changing quickly, when I am leaving. A few days, I just found out that I was pregnant, and then, the master said to let me live for a while." Xu's complexion was calm, "Perhaps he won't want to pick me up. I asked for more money, enough for Bin'er to study. After two years, I will send him to participate in the county test."

Li Qinghe didn't know what to say for a while, and just had the meal, so he asked Chen to help bring it into the house, but he didn't say this during the meal. It was getting late, so let them live first.

Xu has been in the Zhang family for many years, even if he used it at the beginning, he should have feelings for getting along with him for so many years. But I didn't expect that the heart is changeable, and men love sex. Later, he was pregnant. Master Zhang is considered to be a good old man, and he will definitely be caring for his little ones in the future.

Xu's sadness is probably due to Master Zhang's suspicion of her. He said so nicely that she should live longer. In fact, she was still afraid that she would do something to the woman in Zhang's house.

It is autumn. The next morning, Zhou Chengkang took Xiyu up the mountain to go hunting. This time he also took Bin'er and watched them leave. Xu's smile said, "Bin'er has been studying hard for the past two years and has always been sitting in the house. I'm afraid he hurts his body, so it's okay to go out and get around."

Xu changed the silk and satin on his body and helped her. Feeding chickens and fishes, not doing this for a long time, quite unskilled, Li Qinghe also taught her.

Every family was busy cutting firewood in the autumn. Since the accident happened to those people invited by the Xu family, everyone has paid much attention to the people who came to the village. It happened to be dark when the Xu family came, and some people enjoying the coolness at the entrance of the village saw the carriage. Come in, but don't know who is inside. Later, when I watched the carriage arrived here, I saw the Xu family again, and many people knew about it right now. After Xu moved to the county seat, he came back to see his daughter.

Unexpectedly, after this stay, there is no posture to go.

But on another thought, it takes five days to go back and forth to the county town, so it's normal to live longer.

The Xu family is not too much. The wife and Bin'er's book boy she brought with him will help with the work. Li Qinghe has taken some time off. He woke up that morning, slightly chilly, and was wearing clothes thinking about it for a while. It's breakfast, and there is a sudden nausea.

Li Qinghe was surprised at first, and glanced at Zhou Chengkang, who was already dressing in the room, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes: No way!

He immediately set up a carriage and drove her to the town to find Doctor Huang to get her pulse, and she was pregnant.

In fact, neither of them thought about having children, Xiyu is enough. But now that the child came, he didn't want to send him away.

As early as when they came, the two had a hunch, so the carriage didn't go fast, and the way back was even slower. Although he had given birth to a child, Zhou Chengkang did not want to have another child. Having a child represented danger, and he didn't want her to be in danger. Quite silent along the way, when she got out of the carriage at home, she whispered, "Qinghe, you must have

nothing to do ." "I will be fine." Li Qinghe laughed, "I can't bear you and Xiyu."

Li Qinghe She was pregnant again, and Xu was very happy when she found out, "A child is too lonely. He just happened to be a big brother." As he

was talking, Zhou Mu arrived, "I heard that you went to town today. , I still want to go to town, so I didn't ask me." When

I went to town to Zhou's house before, I did stop and ask. But today is different. Zhou Chengkang was nervous all the way. Besides, the carriage was already fast, and it was already out of the village with a flash of mind, and it was too late to ask.

Zhou Chengkang said casually, "I'll send you another day."

Seeing him in a perfunctory tone, Zhou's mother asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? You seem to be upset."

Xu Shi smiled and stepped forward, "It is true. Something happened, but it's a good thing. Qinghe is pregnant."

"Ah!" Zhou Mu was surprised and clapped her hands. "It's really a good thing. I will go back to catch a chicken and give Qinghe a good supplement." Happily turned around. gone.

After a quarter of an hour, Mother Zhou brought a chicken, went to the kitchen and took the knife and started to kill, "You have to make more supplements, you can eat more children to grow well, or else just like Xili, who is still sick when she is so old. . I caught a cold two days ago, and I'm still taking medicine now."

"That's very true." Xu answered, "If this adult eats well, the child will grow up well."

Zhou's mother smiled and nodded, "Go back. Ah, you have to bother your mother

-in-law . You help me stare at her." Xu Shi smiled, "I'll see you, Qinghe, my daughter. My grandson is in her belly. I will take care of her."

Li Qinghe stood by. On the side, inexplicably felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the dialogue between the two people.

After the chicken soup was simmered, Zhou's mother really stared at Li Qinghe and drank two bowls before returning.

Xu sat across from her and watched with a smile, "When I gave birth to you, your milk was like this, but when I was born I found out that you were a girl. She was a little disappointed. Not bad. She also asked me to have another one..."

She looked out the window, a little in a daze, "Actually, my life is like this. With you and Bin'er, I have never regretted it."

Li Qinghe is pregnant and completely quit. Alive. It is that Zhou Chengkang is absent occasionally, and all the work outside the home is done by the old woman brought back by the Chen family and the Xu family.

Zhou Mu came here twice in three days, sometimes just sitting and sitting, it was getting colder and colder outside, Li Qinghe started to make shoes, Xu Shi was learning embroidering with Yu Yan recently, and she too, what she learned is only embroidering, what she does is Clothes for children.

The weather was getting colder, and Xu took Bin'er to town on this day, and Zhou Chengkang sent them there. Mother Zhou came.

She came frequently recently, and Li Qinghe was not surprised. Seeing her enter the door, she smiled and said, "Just about to have lunch, mother will come back after eating later."

Zhou Mu smiled and sat opposite her, looked around, and got up again. Go and close the door. A posture of whispering.

Li Qinghe watched her series of actions, "Mother has something to say straightforwardly, no one will listen to it deliberately."

She is not a lie. Whether it is the Chen family or Zhang's wife, there is no habit of standing outside the window to listen to gossip. There is so much work outside of home, enough for them to be busy.

Mother Zhou looked at her, "Qinghe, tell me honestly, how long will your mother stay?"

"I don't know." Li Qinghe casually sews the shoes in her hands.

"I don't know?" Mother Zhou frowned. "She won't stay here forever?" The voice was loud.

Li Qinghe raised her eyebrows and asked, "She just stayed for a long time, what's the matter?"

"You are a married girl, not a parent. How can you let your mother..." She looked bitter, "What if the couple live together? If you catch someone else, your life will not be good. Your eldest brothers are the ones in front of them. The lady Liu is like a shit-chucking stick in it..."

Li Qinghe put down his shoes, "My mother is not the same as her."

Zhou's mother said. Being interrupted, a little displeased, "What's the difference?"

The Liu Pozi was squeezing the boss of Zhou and the two to help her earn money. The Xu family only subsidized them and never asked for anything in return. "Mother, there are some things you don't know. When my mother left, she gave us more than twenty taels." Li Qinghe's tone became colder, "more than twenty taels, is it enough for her to support her?"

Mother Zhou was dumb, "Her money is easy..."

Hearing this, Li Qinghe was really angry, and his face sank, "No matter how much money my mother has, it is all hers. If she is willing to give it to me, I have to remember this sentiment, and I can't live without a conscience."

Xu Most of Zhang's silver was given by the Zhang family, but it was also exchanged for the love between herself and Master Zhang, Master Zhang would give it, purely for Bin'er's sake, not for her Li Qinghe.

Seeing her angry, Zhou's mother couldn't say anything. She said for a while, "Don't be angry. If you want to keep her, keep it. Thinking of the child. Being angry is not good for the child."

Li Qinghe didn't look at her and picked up the shoes again. "If you're okay, you can make a body suit for yourself, or you can do it for a few children. Don't think about the mess, I and Cheng Kang will live a good life, it is not your turn to worry about it." These

words were very heavy, Zhou Mu's face paled slightly, "I am also for your good."

She immediately answered, "Without you to worry about, we can also Have a good time."

If the Xu family would really affect them, Li Qinghe would not keep her living. Whether a person is sincere or not, he feels the most.

Zhou's mother left in despair, Li Qinghe ignored it, and some bottom lines could not be retreated. For example, she had the final say on who to stay in this family, and no one wanted to intervene.

They took Dr. Huang's grandson over. Mother Zhou also said that she didn't want to think about it. How much money would it cost to hire a master seriously? Nowadays, just by giving something to eat and drink, you can have a master. Can they take advantage?

Besides, the two of them don't have to read what they read, they just need to be able to read characters. The most important thing is to understand some common medical principles.

This is probably due to a different ideology and cannot be changed.

In the afternoon, Xu's mother and son came back, smiling and entering the door, "Qinghe, I bought dim sum for you." Carrying the dim sum into the door, opened the door for her to eat, and said, "I bought the empty yard next door, let me clean it up. Try to move in the year before."

Li Qinghe was stunned after hearing this. If she hadn't just returned after confirming that she had been in the town, she would have to suspect that she would move out after hearing Zhou's mother's words and thinking about it.

Seeing her startled, Xu laughed, "I have been here for a month, and there is no news from the county seat. I feel that this time it may be true. I have to live for a year or not. Picked me up...I still have to give myself a retreat. The yard over there is my own name, and my roots will be my roots. It's nice to be close to you."

☘️☘️☘️☘️

Chapter 120:

A tall wall was built to separate the Yang family's yard from their home, and Zhou Chengkang had planted thorns on the road left by the horse-drawn carriage. Now it is almost impossible to pass it.

But if the Xu family lived there, he would definitely have to cut the thorns again in the future, maybe he could use blue bricks to enclose all the remaining spots, and then open a door in the middle to come out.

The next day the weather was good and there was rare sunshine. Li Qinghe and Xu Shi went to see the yard over there. The yard was just built two years ago, but it seemed a little barren without anyone to live recently, and it really needed someone to take care of it.

But after taking care of it, it must be much better than the house in the village.

As they passed, Xu's purchase of the Yang family's house also spread. Many people sigh with emotion: This is a profit!

Of course, some people say sour words: good looks means taking advantage.

Everyone in the village knows that the house of the Yang family is good, but no one has enough money to buy it. If they have enough money, they may not want the place anymore. After all, it is a little far away from the village.

For Xu, staying away from the village is better for her. Although she used to be from Wangcun Village, she has long been unfamiliar with the villagers after she has been away for many years.

The yard was very good, and no outsiders were invited, so they let Yu Ermo and his wife take care of it for a few days. After shoveling the weeds in the yard, the vegetable field in the backyard looked quite regular.

After picking a day, Xu moved in. It is winter now, and she specially entertained the villagers and officially settled down.

The moving house was very lively. Li Qinghe was pregnant, and Xu didn't want her to help him all the time, so he was afraid that he would knock her and let her rest in the house.

Yes, don't look so close. Xu also prepared a room for her, and the quilt and curtain inside were pink, which was pretty girly.

Most of the people in the village came, and Li Fu also came, but he was calm, taking Liu with him, and outsiders felt embarrassed. He didn't think it himself, he smiled and said, "There is her mother living next to Qinghe, and I am relieved. The group of people who originally lived was not good at first sight. I couldn't sleep for the whole night, and then something happened. This is good now."

Xu's family also came, but the Xu family only regarded them as ordinary neighbors living in a village and were not close. The Xu family actually blamed her for leaving her daughter to go to the town to be a concubine. The main reason was that she ruined the Xu family's reputation. Seeing that she wasn't close, she didn't move forward at all, just so lightly.

Li Qinghe was talking to someone in the house. Just when she heard the kitchen saying that the basin was not enough, she got up and took it. After walking a few steps out of the yard, Zhou Mu chased up, "Qinghe."

"I told you that day . What you said, did you tell your mother?" She lowered her voice and reached out to support her.

Li Qing Dutch are not used to such close with her, pulled back a bit, "No, my mother would have been myself and we did not intend to stay long."

"I think turnout is earlier, and she so much money, that is, and you do not live I will treat you badly."

Listening to these words, I always feel that something is wrong. Li Qinghe waved his hand, "I'll go back to get the basin, you don't need to be with me." The

housewarming went well, and the Xu family officially moved in. The weather is getting cold gradually, and when the New Year comes, no one comes from the county seat. Li Qinghe went and picked her up to celebrate the New Year together. This year, Zhou's family really didn't celebrate the New Year together.

In the second year of the junior high school, the Wumei couple came with gifts, and Zhang Haiyao and Li Qingmiao also came. Mei's also came, anyway, everyone gets along with each other faintly, without the previous tit-for-tat, in the final analysis, everyone has his own life.

Bin'er Dekong would go up the mountain with Zhou Chengkang and occasionally help their family with work. The siblings are getting more and more familiar with each other.

After the new year, the families were busy with spring plowing, and the Xu family had no land, so she was not in a hurry, and stewed soup for her daughter all day long.

The scenery in spring is the best, especially in March. After the spring ploughing of each family is finished, they are also free. Now each family often runs to the surrounding forests and collects herbs to sell. If you are lucky, it is no worse than a part-time job.

On such a spring afternoon, a carriage came from the county seat and went straight to Li Qinghe's home. It was not Wu Li, but Master Zhang.

In the past two lifetimes, Li Qinghe has never seen him a few times. He opened the door and saw him. He was quite surprised, "You are looking for my mother?"

"Yes, I have never been free," Master Zhang rubbed his hands, "I want to see him. Look at Bin'er."

I heard from the Xu family that after the Zhang family moved to the county seat, the business grew bigger and bigger. Whether he was watching Xu or the children, maybe he could not tell, Li Qinghe closed the door and said, "Now my mother lives by herself, I will take you."

From here, after a few breaths, he went to the yard next door, Xu He opened the door and saw that it was them. Now Li Qinghe had a big belly, and Xu hurriedly pulled her into the door. After being silent, he looked at Master Zhang and turned sideways, "Come in."

Master Zhang stepped into the door, looked around and sighed. "You have suffered."

"It's not." Xu's laughed, "It's good here. By the way, how is Aunt Yu now?"

After hearing this, Master Zhang sighed, "I fell down the other day. , Lost the baby, and killed two lives."

Li Qinghe was surprised, and couldn't help standing firmer under her feet.

Xu seemed not surprised. He squinted at the sky in the yard and said, "I was pregnant with Bin'er, and when I was about to give birth, I slipped a bit. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stand firm and our mother and son were safe."

The corners of Master Zhang's lips moved, "Do you want to go back? I will take you back with you."

"No need." Xu looked at him, "The only thing I owe is my daughter over the years, and I want to stay with her. Master, there are always new people by your side, and my daughter, I am the only mother."

Li Qinghe quietly entered the door, and at a glance, he saw Bin'er leaning against the window and peeking out. Seeing her entering the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her. He put a mattress on her chair again, "Sister sits."

Li Qinghe smiled and looked at him, "Your father is here to pick you up."

Bin'er looked outside, lowered her voice, "Actually, I don't want to go back. There are a lot of things in the house. There are a lot of them. There are only three concubines in my father's room. This is pretty good, there are not so many people, and there are not so many rules. The eldest brother is married, and when my mother takes me back, my wife always wants to make a marriage for me, and mention it. There are several girls, the best in the family is her niece, and they were all rejected by her mother. "

Is it so complicated?

The two siblings whispered in the room, and the two outside also entered the opposite room. Half an hour later, Xu sent Master Zhang out and went straight here.

Looking at the two siblings in the room, Master Zhang looked at Bin'er and said with a smile, "In the future, you will study hard. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me." He went to pat his son again. Behind his shoulders, he turned around and got on the carriage and left.

Xu took his son to stand at the door and watched his carriage go far. Then he turned around and smiled at his son, "Bin'er, he has divided the house for you and your brother."

Parents are not separated, not so much. It was a separation of families, rather than expelling the concubine and son from the house.

"Everyone said that the man returned to his wife after he had played enough." Xu turned and closed the door. "This is actually reasonable."

Seeing the two brothers and sisters puzzled, she went in and moved a box out to open it. Out of the banknotes and land deeds inside, he smiled and said, "These are our mother and son. Madam is sick, very serious, and the master promised to only stay with her in the future and there will be no other people." In

other words, it is not a promise. Shi didn't go back, but couldn't go back. Sure enough, her instinct was right. Nonetheless, it is good to see her look as usual, without any emotions such as hard to hurt her heart.

There are not many people in the village who know about Master Zhang, and Xu's family is no different from usual. In fact, as early as when she came back to buy the yard, most people guessed that she was probably sent back.

It used to be a speculation, but now it is true. In fact, Xu's ability to take his son home is the best ending for a woman after becoming a concubine. If you really waited for Master Zhang to die in the Zhang family, I don't know how many years will be needed, and by then, Mrs. Zhang will take charge of the division of the family. How much can be divided, not just a word from her, maybe not as good as it is now.

Li Qinghe was pregnant. She didn't need to do the work in the field, or even bother. Zhou Chengkang did it by herself, and started planting medicinal materials after spring ploughing. This year I finally saved enough medicinal seeds, 40 acres of barren forest and all the land. They are all planted with medicinal materials.

Some of them were found by Wu Li. He took all the medicinal materials recovered last year, and the price was not bad. Seriously, growing medicinal materials is more profitable than growing grain. I simply bought another 60 acres of barren forest along the side of my own forest. Zhou Chengkang has been busy with this recently.

It is worth mentioning that Li Qinghe's name is still written in the barren forest that was bought. Of course, outsiders don't know.

Doctor Huang went to the woods to see medicinal materials in two days, and Xiyu finally had a serious enlightenment master, his uncle. Bin'er hasn't slackened all these years. He has been sensible since he was a child, knowing his identity and the embarrassment of his mother, and has always been serious. Although the county test has not been there yet, it is enough to enlighten Xiyu.

For the villagers, it was quite unexpected that Li Qinghe and the other two bought such a barren forest again. One hundred acres of barren forest is a large area. In fact, it has something to do with them, because their family has to ask people to clean up the grass, and then plant them. The first people who are invited are the villagers.

In a blink of an eye, in mid-April, the family invited people every day, and Xu often came here, even Zhou Mu, also often came here, but she didn't live as before. When she got here, she also did all the work outside and at home. Help, but I will definitely go back at night.

Now in the old house of Zhou's family, there are Zhou bosses and Zhou old three. They bump into each other, and occasionally quarrel. Zhou's mother lives by herself, and the two of them only respect her. In fact, she has a good life.

The reason why these two people often visit is because... Li Qinghe's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and maybe he is about to give birth.

Zhou Chengkang was very nervous. The mountain forest was bought a few days ago. After running for two days and arranging people to do the work, he asked his second brother to help and stay at home.

On the night of spring and summer, there was the sound of insects outside. He put his hand on her stomach and felt the movement of the child inside. He couldn't help but smile, "Is it turning over?"

Li Qinghe couldn't help but smile, "No I know."

"From tomorrow, I won't go anywhere, just guard you." Zhou Chengkang hugged her, "In the future, we can't really have any more. After you give birth, I will start drinking medicine."

"You are not. Say you want a daughter?" Li Qinghe said with a smile, "What if it's a son? Will it be born?"

"No!" He said seriously, "It's not a daughter, it's my life."
