Chapter Twenty-Seven: Knocking on the Door

If he let his little daughter-in-law know, this matter would be so unexpected because he fueled the trouble on a whim, I am afraid that he will have to bite him a few times before he will stop.

Dong Rong seemed to feel something, and her small mouth pouted extremely dissatisfied, and the faint pink and moist color was extremely confusing in the dark night. Silly Zhu's eyes became darker and darker, and after being silent for a long time, he finally forced himself to close his eyes, but the beating sound in his chest was comparable to a war drum, urging endlessly...

On the same dark night, there was a candle in the backyard of a cloth village on the county's commercial street. During the day, the old shopkeeper who insisted on sending Niu Shi to the county Yafufa was pinching a piece of letter paper and was silently distracted, and the old man really couldn't figure out why his boss, who could only see each other at the end of the year, suddenly sent a message asking him to embarrass a country stupid woman. Could it be that the proprietor has something to do with this woman, or is this stupid woman angry with the proprietor?

It's a pity that he didn't feel right to speculate in every way, so he had to put it aside. As long as he takes care of the business for the owner wholeheartedly, listens to the orders of the owner, and returns to his old age in a few years, the owner will definitely not treat him lightly.

Thinking like this, the old shopkeeper completely threw away his hand, raised the letter paper and lit it on the candle flame, and finally picked up the remaining scraps of paper before resting and sleeping.

For a long time, in the dark place of the eaves outside the window, a figure turned over silently, flew on the ridge of the roof and left...

Another two days passed, and finally the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, Dong Rong took his younger brother and Dong Ping to the grass outside the yard early in the morning and stepped on two feet, and then each of them ate two steamed zongzi made of snow-white japonica rice, and the festival was over.

The New Year of the city is good, and the normal days are difficult. Wealthy families will think more about celebrating the festival with more heart, but the peasant family has to be busy to fill their stomachs, so they don't think it's too important for the festival, it's just a good meal for the occasion.

Sister-in-law Liu and others also came to work early as usual, and Dong Rong brought a clay pot full of zongzi and invited everyone to taste her craftsmanship. Everyone praised a few words while eating, and at the end they gossiped about the Chen family's orchard because no one cared about it, and Master Chen lowered the price again and again, and even sold a small pond with ten acres of thin fields under the mountain, and it could be bought for only one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

Dong Rong felt that the time was ripe, so when she got up early the next day, she saw a light rain falling from the sky, so she took advantage of the situation to make a few boxes of ice, and after carefully explaining a few words to Dong Ping and Wang Lu, she took the pillar back to the slope together.

The trees and crops in the mountains and fields are becoming more and more lush and vibrant due to the drizzle. Dong Rong was wearing a set of water-green dresses made for her by Du Juan's sister-in-law last night, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, walking through the field road with a smile, looking from a distance as if she had blended into the green mountains and green waters, which was extremely elegant and fresh.

Beside the path, occasionally a few little frogs that had just evolved from tadpoles were startled by the sound of her footsteps and jumped into the ditch, splashing countless times. It made her giggle with laughter, crisp and cheerful. The stupid pillar not far behind her wore a big hat on his head, and when he saw this, he felt extremely happy in his heart for no reason, and the doting color in his eyes became more and more intense.

As a result, all the frogs on the left side of the road ahead were unlucky. Whether they are sleeping or chatting, they will be startled by a pebble flying from nowhere, and they will keep running away.

In this way, the drizzle fell in the suburbs, the laughter of women, and the complaints of frogs accompanied all the way...

The young couple soon reached the outside of the village, but the more they walked, the more strange they felt. Originally, the naughty boys in the village liked this kind of light rain weather the most, and if they usually gathered under the big willow tree at the head of the village, laughed and stirred the branches, and then watched a little friend who ran slowly was doused into a soup chicken. But today a few big willow trees are empty, even the village is quiet, I don't know that the people in the village have run in.

The two of them quickly arrived at the street where Cao's house was located with such doubts, but as soon as they turned around the street, they understood everything.

In front of Cao's house, there was a sea of people, and the whole village of men, women, and children gathered here, standing in groups of three or five pointing at the Cao family's courtyard, while those naughty naughty boys climbed directly onto the wall, laughing and clapping their hands from time to time and shouting something.

Dong Rong frowned, rushed to the front in three or two steps, grabbed a little daughter-in-law who was usually familiar with her, and asked, "Meihua, what's wrong?" ”

The little daughter-in-law turned her head and saw that it was Dong Rong, her face was a little embarrassed, and she replied, "Pillar daughter-in-law, why are you back?" Well, your mother and that Aunt Cao, well, in... Wrestle in the game! ”

"Haha," without waiting for Dong Rong to ask again, a few people next to him laughed first when they heard the little daughter-in-law's words. An older aunt pointed to the courtyard and said, "Sister Rong, don't listen to the plum blossoms, go in and take a look, your old lady is calling." After speaking, she shouted to the neighbors around her, "Everyone, get out of the way, Sister Rong and Zhuzi are back." ”

Dong Rong and Silly Zhu hurriedly walked through the crowd, and when they got closer, they saw that the courtyard of the Cao family was already a small battlefield. The Niu family and Mrs. Cao cursed and scuffled together. It was originally a light rain weather, the ground was muddy, and the two inevitably rolled into a mud figure. On the other side, Sister Cao was also fighting happily with a pair of children of the Dong family, and Second Sister Cao was so anxious that she was spinning around, as if she wanted to step forward and persuade but didn't know how to start.

Dong Juan and Dong Yi have listened to the old lady talking about Cao Pozi and causing the family to lose money, and they are worried that the old lady will blame them for their cowardice that day, and they have lost their love since then, so today they are in danger of being punished by their father and come to the door with the old lady. But the two were pampered and raised on weekdays, where is the opponent of the "battle-hardened" Sister Cao, either this one was slapped or that one was kicked, and when I regretted it, I happened to see Dong Rong standing at the door, and they were so happy that they were like seeing a savior, shouting loudly, "Sister, come and help, we are going to be killed." ”

Dong Rong sneered in her heart, she has lived under one roof for more than ten years, and today is the first time she has heard them call her sister, which is really ironic. She had the intention to ignore the two of them, and felt that it was not good to leave a cool impression on the villagers in front of everyone, but if she stepped forward to help, Sister Cao would suffer a loss, and it would not stop in the future.

When she was in a dilemma, Old Man Cao, who went out to fish to replenish her youngest daughter's body, and Dong Xiucai, who went to the city to meet friends, rushed back almost at the same time. The people in the village also felt that it was not good to see the excitement anymore, so they pretended to start persuading each other, this one said, "Oh, Dong Niangzi, stop it, they are all in-laws, and you can't say anything well." ”

That also said, "That's it, that is, you don't look at others, but also look at the face of the pillar and Sister Rong." ”

Old man Cao glanced at the messy courtyard and the muddy old woman, as well as the little daughter whose face was pale and forced to hold back tears, the face was as black as an ink block, even a man with a stump couldn't bear to be beaten on the door, not to mention that his Cao family also had some face in the village.

Old Man Dong looked at the Niu clan who was riding on Cao Pozi and slapping vigorously, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't immediately find a crack in the ground to get into. In the past few days, he has obviously told her not to make trouble, but he didn't expect him to make such a big mess after leaving for less than an hour.

He endured his blush, and hurriedly made a big salute to make amends to Old Man Cao, "In-laws, don't be angry, it's all my evil wife, I will definitely give an explanation to my mother-in-law about this matter." ”

Old man Cao was angry, but his face was always not good for him, so he gritted his back molars and said, "I'll talk about this later, Mr. Dong should hurry up and let your mother-in-law stop, otherwise my family will have a funeral tomorrow." ”

Dong Xiucai's face turned even redder when he heard this, he was so anxious just now that he forgot that his mother-in-law was still majestic, he hurriedly trotted forward and directly pulled Niu's, and scolded in a low voice, "You loser mother-in-law, don't stop!" ”

Niu's was fighting happily, and suddenly saw his master appear, his heart was weak, and he stood up and responded, "Old... Sir, why are you here? ”

Dong Xiucai still had to answer, but Mrs. Cao, who didn't want to finally turn over and be liberated, seized the opportunity and directly grabbed two handfuls of mud, throwing off the couple with a black face.

The villagers watching the excitement next to them couldn't hold back, and they all laughed loudly. Dong Xiucai wiped away the mud that exuded a strong smell of chicken manure on his face, and said with a smile with nausea, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, get up and talk first." ”

Mrs. Cao is a person who has suffered a loss and still resists, as soon as she heard this, she didn't get up, but rolled more and more in the mud, "Oh, everyone come and see, the Dong family is really a bully, our Cao family has no way to live..."

Dong Xiucai had the heart to apologize a few more words, but he really had no experience in dealing with shrews, so he had to give up his hand and keep making apologies.

Dong Rong didn't want to be caught in the middle and be difficult, so she persuaded Second Sister Cao, who seemed to be about to faint at any time, to go back to the wing. Old man Cao glanced at his son with a cold face, and finally gritted his teeth and pulled the old woman and eldest daughter back to the hall directly, and closed the door with a bang, obviously unwilling to pay attention to the Dong family anymore.

Dong Xiucai stepped forward and wanted to say a few more words, but he was almost hit by the door panel and flattened his nose. He also understood that this matter was a little difficult today, and looked at the many neighbors who were watching a good show, so he had to drag the victorious wife and children out of the courtyard and go straight to his house.

Dong Rong persuaded Second Sister Cao a few words, and took out the embroidery thread and fabric bought in the city, which made the little girl's face much better. By the time she turned out of the chamber, the war was unsurprisingly over.

She sighed half happily and half sadly, originally when she came back this time, she still wanted to fool her in-laws into allowing her to buy the orchard, and it was best that the orchard would fall into her name as a dowry. Now it seems that this matter may be a little difficult to do.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, everyone in the village also dispersed one after another. Silly Zhu closed the courtyard door, turned around and saw Dong Rong's sad face, a smile flashed in his eyes, and after thinking about it, he shouted, "Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry!" ”

Dong Rong touched her stomach and felt a little empty, so she threw down her mind and responded, "You play by yourself for a while, I'll go cook." ”

Silly Zhuhan smiled and agreed, and finally saw her go far away and went to the hall. ZM
