"Dad, I have just taken over the orchard, and I still have a lot of chores to do, and I also have to take care of the business in the city, so going out early and returning late will definitely disturb you and my mother's rest. So, during this time, I moved with the pillar to live in the orchard, and if there was something at home, you would ask someone to go to the orchard and call us. ”

After Dong Rong finished speaking, she bowed and saluted, and then without waiting for Old Man Cao to respond, she turned around and went back to the room, and threw the few remaining salute scrolls to the stupid pillar and strode out of Cao's house.

There were those villagers who were inquisitive and gossipy wandering around Cao's house in groups, and when they saw Dong Rong and Silly Zhu coming out like this, they stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Sister Rong, Zhuzi, where are you going?" ”

"Yes, yes, didn't the family just buy an orchard, don't you set a table to celebrate?"

Dong Rong smiled and pointed to the courtyard of the Cao family, and responded, "Uncles and aunts, my father and mother are making tea and setting snacks, if you are free, go in and sit down." I still have work to do with the pillar, so I don't have to accompany him. ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled the stupid pillar and walked away through the crowd, and the rest of the people thought about it, since the Cao family was so hospitable, they went to eat two pieces of dim sum, and it was not bad to find out the truth by the way.

Old man Cao was worried that the "stupid son" would misunderstand him and connived at the old woman to make trouble, his face was extremely bad, and he whispered to his little daughter to go back to the room to rest, and then he was ready to teach the disobedient old woman a lesson.

Mrs. Cao was also a little weak-hearted, and then felt that she was playing tricks like this for her own family, so she stiffened her neck and planned to talk to the old man.

But before they could theorize, almost the entire village was crowded into the courtyard. This one said congratulations, and the sour joke made the Cao family almost lift the lid.

Cao Pozi had a very good face, and although she hated Dong Rong even more in her heart for refusing to return the orchard to the public, she raised her head and stood tall in front of the villagers, looking very proud and proud, and she made tea and brought out two plates of dim sum to entertain the guests. Occasionally, I have to pretend to be modest to deal with two sentences, "Oh, it's just a broken orchard, and it's not worth much silver!" ”

The old lady of the Zhao family thought that her son would become the steward of the Cao family's orchard and would receive wages from the Cao family in the future, so she complimented Mrs. Cao to work hard. One will praise Mrs. Cao's housekeeping, and another will praise her for being young and beautiful, in short, how disgusting and how to come, I heard that several old ladies around me lowered their heads and ate snacks violently, refusing to follow the conversation.

Besides, Dong Rong and Silly Zhu had just walked to the west of the village, and they were meeting Sister Cao's family who hurriedly rushed to her mother's house after hearing the news. Sister Cao's sharp eyes saw the salute scroll on the shoulder of the stupid pillar, and thought that her mother had really made a fortune, so she was full of confidence and drove her annoying brother and daughter-in-law out of the house. So, she pouted and blocked the way, and mocked, "Oh, isn't this the majestic Miss Dong family?" Where is this going? ”

Chen Lao Er was smiling and grinning as he pulled his own children, and a pair of thief eyes swept around Dong Rong's body, causing Dong Rong to be nauseous, for fear that he would not be able to help but vomit as soon as he opened his mouth, so he directly bypassed Sister Cao and raised his legs and left.

Sister Cao glared angrily, and she had to go up and scold again. I don't want to be stupid, as if I was blocking my vision because I was carrying a salute roll, and I stumbled and pounced on her back. Sister Cao fell on Chen Er with a sigh of relief, and the husband and wife rolled together, both gnawing on their mouths full of mud.

Silly Zhu laughed twice and counted it as an apology, and finally threw off his stride to pick up his daughter-in-law, so angry that Sister Cao cursed loudly.

Dong Rong turned her head to see this scene, and when she took Silly Zhu's hand again, she asked, "Zhuzi, you just deliberately hit her to vent for me, right?" ”

Silly Zhu just laughed, lowered his head and didn't speak. Dong Rong was overjoyed, and without thinking about it, she kissed him on the face on tiptoe, and praised, "Well done, I will reward you with a big bowl of braised pork tomorrow!" ”

Silly Zhu touched his cheeks in a daze, and was about to say something, but there was a burst of child's laughter next to him, "Shame!" Ashamed! The stupid pillar kissed his daughter-in-law! ”

Dong Rong and Silly Zhu turned their heads in unison to see the naughty children hiding behind the big willow tree, and they immediately blushed, holding hands and running back to the orchard on the mountain. A few children were left laughing and chasing for a long distance, and at the end they dispersed and went home.

Besides, Sister Cao rushed to her mother's house, and saw that many villagers were present, and her neck suddenly pulled out straighter than the poplar tree in the corner of the courtyard, and she looked proud with her nostrils facing the sky. Except for a few elders who were willing to say hello only when they spoke, the rest of the people seemed to be out of her eyes.

The people in the village already knew what virtue she had, and they didn't want to touch that moldy head, but Chen Lao Er was surrounded by a few fox friends and dog friends who were friends on weekdays. This smiled and squeezed his eyes, and whispered: "Second brother, your Yue's family has made a fortune!" The orchard of more than 100 taels said that he would buy it, and the second brother would have to take care of his brother more in the future! ”

"That's right," another angry descendant also hooked Chen Laoer's shoulder and echoed, "Second brother is the most righteous on weekdays, how can you forget our brother if there is a good thing." ”

Chen Lao Er heard a few people say this, and his heart was as sweet as drinking honey. He waved his hand and said modestly, "The brothers laughed, this orchard is the Cao family's property, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

After speaking before, he rolled his eyes, pretended to be angry and said, "The second brother is unwilling to bring his brother to make it clear, what excuse do you have to make." Who doesn't know that the Cao family is a stupid son in these ten miles and eight villages, who is in charge of the family business. The Cao family just put down 10,000 acres of fertile land, and in the end, didn't they have to rely on the second brother to take care of it? ”

This is said to Chen Laoer's heart, he is most tired of working in the field on weekdays, and always looks forward to one day being a landlord wearing a satin robe and shouting many slaves. Now that this wish is about to be fulfilled, how can he not rejoice? He promised everyone one after another, if he was rich, he would not forget it.

Old man Cao sat on the throne and looked at the ugliness of his wife and eldest daughter, he was really angry and lamented his misfortune. He has already figured out the temper of Sister Rong'er's girl, she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she has the temperament of one person who must return the two. If their family treats her better, no matter how much money she earns in the future, they will definitely be indispensable. But if she feels that she is being persecuted and oppressed, then even if she compromises temporarily, she will definitely get it back in the future. When the time comes, the Cao family is afraid that there will be no peaceful life.

The more Old Man Cao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't bear to slap the table and stood up, and said angrily, "Fellow villagers, that orchard is Sister Rong..."

Mrs. Cao was bragging with a few old ladies about how much money the orchard would have in the autumn, and when she saw her old man like this, she guessed that he was going to show her stuffing, so she flew to him and covered his mouth.

Old man Cao was so annoyed that he pushed her hard, and Mrs. Cao "fell" to the ground, her eyes closed, and she was in a coma.

Sister Cao didn't know the truth, and thought that her father had really knocked her unconscious, so she hugged her and cried, "Mother, you can't die, our family has just made a fortune, and you haven't enjoyed a few more years of happiness." If you die, my father begs for a little wife, then our family's silver is cheap vixen. ”

Old man Cao was still a little worried that he would really break the old woman, but when he heard his daughter's words, he was so angry that he almost crooked his nose, and he hated to throw his sleeves and threw down the villagers all over the yard and hid out.

Cao Pozi was lying on the ground and peeking at the old man, and when she saw that he left without saying anything more, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then quickly opened her eyes. If the whole village knows that the orchard was bought by her daughter-in-law, and has nothing to do with her Cao family, everyone may not be able to talk about it behind her back, then what face does she have to look up and behave like a person?

Sister Cao helped the old lady sit up, and Chen Lao Er also came to the front to ask for warmth, if people who are not familiar with them really regard them as rare filial daughters and sons-in-law. Cao Pozi was afraid that the villagers would guess the inside story, so she covered her head and shouted that she was dizzy for a while, and then changed her pain again, and the oops.

When many neighbors saw the Cao family like this, although they still itched in their hearts and wanted to inquire more, they also felt rude in the end, so they laughed and left.

As soon as Mrs. Cao waited for Chen Lao Er to close the door after sending off the guests, she immediately jumped up, patted the dust on her body and complained, "These old immortals don't take any congratulatory gifts when they come to congratulate them, but eat all my dim sum." And your father's stubborn donkey, the good gold dust is unwilling to brush his face, and he has to be plastered to be happy, which really me off! ”

Sister Cao also heard a little taste at this time, she reached out and pinched the small handful of dim sum residue left on the plate and threw it into her mouth, and asked while eating sweetly, "Mother, where did you and my father make a fortune?" How good it is to buy a few pours of fertile land for more than 100 taels of silver, why did you just buy a broken orchard? ”

Cao Pozi saw that the two grandsons were about to rush to the house to turn over snacks, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to close the small door, so she pouted and cursed, "It's all the silver that the fox spirit of the Dong family doesn't know where to get it, first lied to me and your father that they wanted to buy a dowry, I thought I agreed with a few taels of silver, but today I found out that there were more than 100 taels." I knew so much, I just discounted her leg and grabbed the silver. ”

Sister Cao and Chen Lao Er looked at each other with some surprise and disappointment, Chen Lao Er coughed dryly and said, "Mother, Sister Rong is our daughter-in-law, isn't her dowry also our Cao family's?" In the autumn, when the orchard has an income, you will receive the silver in your hand. ”

Mrs. Cao was even more annoyed when she heard this, and pulled up her sleeves and said while knocking on the empty snack plate, "Your father is so brainless that I am not allowed to touch my daughter-in-law's dowry, I will fight to get back 20% of the income after being beaten up, and the second sister will marry in the future, and the fox spirit will buy a dowry." ”

Sister Cao'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Mother, what about me, the little fox spirit said that she didn't say how much money I shared?" ”

Mrs. Cao lowered her head a little weakly, and said perfunctorily, "You are married, it's hard to say." I'll talk to her about it in the fall. ”ZM
