Chapter 208: The Paper Can't Contain the Fire
Since Xu Yanhui and his vigorous maid lived in the small courtyard of the mountain village, Mo Xiaohe's pure life has come to an end.
After Mo Xiaohe endured it for two days, she was on the verge of collapse, she didn't care what the villagers thought, she just wanted to take a big broom and drive people away, the farther away from her, the better, out of sight, not upset.
"Can you not hang around me?"
The only advantage is that all the chores at home are contracted by the vigorous maid, who goes up the mountain to chop firewood, which can cut down the weight of more than ten days at a time, and fetches water with a flat pole to pick up four buckets.
Rabbit essence this person has a habit of cleanliness, after breakfast and dinner, to burn incense bath, and then smear bottles and cans on the face, the beautiful name is said, because the beauty of the long is a gift from God, so it is necessary to take care of it.
"After eating, you have to stand up and walk slowly for half an hour, so that you don't grow a small belly."
Xu Yanhui ignored Mo Xiaohe, and continued to walk in the yard, compared to the new arrival in Sweetwater Village, he was already a little low-key, changing into muslin clothes, but his gestures showed elegance and style.
Mo Xiaohe's face was stiff when he was said, and he subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen with his hand, then stood up with a tangled face and walked around.
In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the border city of Dawu began to cool down, there was a rain two days ago, the weather was cold after the rain, people were in the inner room, the hands and feet were cold, it was better to sit in the small courtyard to bask in the sun, feel warm, the courtyard door was opened, and there were village people "passing by" at the door, especially the children in the village, seeing Xu Yanhui, a face of obsession, after being found, with a red face, walking with hands and feet, what good things at home, all sent to the door.
Mo Xiaohe is helpless, the people of Tianshui Village are not rich, it is also because there are people on the city wall who serve as conscripts, they sell food, rent yards, and life is better.
For all this, Xu Yan was at ease, he had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, occasionally touching his face, and boasting to Mo Xiaohe, maybe he was used to it, Mo Xiaohe became more and more indifferent, and in the end, he could completely ignore it.
"What is the purpose of your visit to the village? There must be a reason, otherwise you can condescend to a poor country like Sweetwater Village? ”
Mo Xiaohe didn't want to get involved, he fell asleep late last night, and was pestering his husband Gu Zheng to tell a story, Gu Zheng heard movement in the yard, went out to investigate, and found that the rabbit spirit was dressed in black, climbed over the wall, and the vigorous maid was gone.
This morning, the two appeared on time, there was no abnormality on their faces, and in the middle of the night, they went out in night clothes, saying that they were going out for a walk to admire the moon, who believed it? She endured it, and finally asked.
"For you, old friend, of course."
Xu Yanhui's face was as usual, hooking the corners of his mouth and smiling slightly, his bright face was even more charming, Mo Xiaohe boasted of good self-control, otherwise he would really be fascinated.
"I'm just joking, I'm actually ......"
Halfway through the words, someone smashed the door, Mo Xiaohe rubbed his eyebrows, just at noon, the people in the village also had to rest, who is this, so anxious to come to the door to offer hospitality?
"Xiaohe, we're here!"
Mo Da Ya was dusty, carrying a basket in her hand, her face was tired, but her spirit was good, and behind her, followed by her mother-in-law, that is, Li Er's Lao Tzu Niang, the old pious woman cried on the spot, her voice was shocking and crying, patting her thighs, and her face was sad, "My hard-working son!" ”
Mo Daya winked apologetically at Mo Xiaohe, Li Er was unlucky, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well for two nights, sighing that God is fair, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, Li Er escaped from forced labor, a board and a few years in prison are inevitable, it's best to die outside, it's a hundred!
Wen came to the door, and under the pretext of visiting, he asked Mo Daya to explain the reason, Li Er actually had a pickled mind about his cousin, which is simply inferior to a beast! Thanks to Xiaohe's cleverness, he didn't have his way.
Mo Daya knew in her heart, she didn't tell the old goddess at all, but it happened that the city actually posted a portrait of Li Er, who was wanted by the yamen, and the old goddess went out to buy vegetables.
After returning home, she no longer pretended, but revealed her true form, scolding Mo Daya not only for not laying eggs, but also for giving birth to Kefu, if Li Er has three long and two short, she will give up this life, and Mo Daya is not finished!
As soon as the two discussed, the family couldn't stay anymore, and wanted to come to see the situation, the old pious woman was worried that Li Er would not be able to eat and dress warmly, thinking that he couldn't run too far, and he didn't have much silver taels on him, so she hurriedly came over to inquire about the news, and sent silver money by the way.
"Woo, this group of black-hearted livers who have suffered from the plague, let my son suffer!"
Because of Xu Yanhui's arrival, Mo Xiaohe's house has become the most concerned area in the village, it was quiet at noon, the cry of the old pious woman spread far away, and the aunt next door was the first to rush out, grabbing a handful of melon seeds, while eating melon seeds, while looking, standing at the door to watch the excitement.
Soon, the people in the village heard the wind and appeared around, everyone thought that the old pious woman was Mo Xiaohe's mother's family, and they heard that Gu Zheng had many beautiful concubines, and they came to the door.
"Xiaohe, I'm sorry."
Mo Daya hurriedly apologized, and she also came, but the purpose was different from that of the old goddess, she was eager to find Li Er's traces, and then report to the yamen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"It's okay, you can't hold the fire in the paper, and sooner or later it will get out."
Mo Xiaohe sighed, she had already made preparations, but the arrival of the old pious woman was a while earlier than expected.
The two whispered a few words, no one paid attention to the crying old pious woman, after Mo Daya finished speaking, seeing Xu Yanhui, stunned, she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong, and muttered to herself, "Didn't I see the fairy?" ”
"This ......"
Mo Xiaohe was embarrassed, it was precisely because of these people who had never seen the world that fueled the arrogance of the rabbit spirit and made him even more fluttery, she quickly explained, "He came to the house as a guest!" ”
Mo Daya nodded, with a tangled face, in front of Xu Yanhui, it is difficult to say too clearly, such a beautiful woman has come from this family, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "alluring the country and the city", isn't this attracting wolves into the house? In case Gu Zheng has two hearts, what should he do?
"Little lady of the Gu family, what's wrong?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family is still a kind person, since Xu Yan came back, she was a little sympathetic to Mo Xiaohe, took the initiative to step forward, and asked enthusiastically, "If you need help, you just say it directly." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law osmanthus, a relative at home."
Mo Xiaohe winked at Mo Daya, and hurriedly got people into the yard, saving people from embarrassment, these days he has become the object of discussion among the people in the village after tea and dinner, and an old pious woman has come, which is even more lively.
"Woo, my hard-working son, since I got married, I haven't had a good life!"
The old pious woman cried enough, grabbed Mo Xiaohe's arm, it hurt, her hands that were as dry as chicken paws were very powerful, Mo Xiaohe could think that the skin under the sleeves was likely to be bruised, she frowned tightly and broke free, if it weren't for Mo Daya's face, she would have swept the old pious woman out of the house!
"Mo girl, where is your brother-in-law, do you know? You live here, and you don't take care of it? ”
The old pious woman split her head and covered her face, questioning Mo Xiaohe, thinking that as a relative, she should help out, not to avoid people when they see something. She didn't know everything that happened, she only knew that Li Er was wanted because he couldn't bear it, escaped from forced labor.
"I haven't seen it once."
Mo Xiaohe wiped the corners of his forehead with a handkerchief, saying that he was in a hurry, but the government had no choice but to investigate strictly, perhaps it was because he knew that the two families were related, so Li Er did not dare to come to the door.
"It makes sense, too."
The old pious woman nodded, she agreed with this statement, and after speaking, she cried again, and who died, like a mourner, Xu Yanhui had a green tendon on her forehead, Mo Xiaohe had no doubt that in the next second, the old pious woman would be thrown out of the yard.
"Auntie, I heard that my brother-in-law went to the deep mountains and old forests, and there has been no news......"
Mo Xiaohe's eyes darkened, and he didn't miss any opportunity to retaliate, the implication was that Li Er had been eaten by the beast, and there were no bones left.
"Ahh
Mo Xiaohe hadn't finished playing, and was about to continue to describe the beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, but the old goddess couldn't stand the stimulation, rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground, while Mo Daya on the side instinctively supported, but she withdrew and turned a blind eye.
