After surveying, the mountain area plus the pond totaled 117 acres. Before the main book of the yamen came, he was instructed by the county magistrate to erase the odds. In addition, the rocky beach where the creek meets the pond is also marked.

Li Xiaonuan looked at Coke. Because the creek and the rocky beach just formed a kind of wild interest. Those literati are not good at this. In the area, this piece is some distance from the village, not far to the Yong River, but it is a good place to visit spring and autumn.

As soon as the title deed was completed, Li Xiaonuan asked Xiaoyang to find someone to open the slope on the barren ridge so that he could plant a crop of winter wheat. As for the pond and the surrounding nearly 30 acres of flat land, Li Xiaonuan didn't think about how to arrange it, so he kept it first.

To open up wasteland, the first thing to be used is people, and cattle. Because he wanted to buy land, Li Xiaonuan took out a thousand taels of silver tickets. It cost two hundred and forty taels to buy the twelve acres of fertile land, and six hundred taels to buy this piece of wasteland. asked Xiaoyang to buy two cows, and it cost another fifty-six taels.

Looking at the one hundred taels of silver in his hand, Li Xiaonuan felt that the silver was not spent. Thinking that the family would live on so many acres of land in the future, Li Xiaonuan sighed again. Without a steady source of income, her dream of a manor could not be realized.

However, buying so much land can be regarded as a leap forward. Before, their family only had two acres of land and three acres of wasteland. However, Li Xiaonuan is still a little troubled. After all, the silver costs a little less. Therefore, seizing the time to make money has become something that must be considered.

Li Xiaonuan's family bought 100 acres of wasteland and 12 acres of fertile land in Cuihu Village. This matter exploded in both the old and new Zhou villages. Then, naturally, there were more and more discordant sounds.

There is nothing in this village, because everyone sees the changes in Li Xiaonuan's family. It's the people of Old Zhou Village, who are talking about Li Xiaonuan's earning of dead people's money, and they are losing money when they spend it.

Without thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan knew that this was passed down from Xu Yan's family. On the day Xu Yan was sentenced to parade on the street, she died of anger. Later, the Zhou landlord's family also prepared a generous gift to apologize to the door of the Li family. Xu Yan's brother and sister-in-law were not angry, and they went to the landlord Zhou's house, and they were beaten up.

For this reason, Xu Yan's sister-in-law told others more than once that the Li family earned money. Especially after learning that Li Xiaonuan had received a large amount of compensation from the Wei Mansion, he jumped away.

But in this matter, Li Xiaonuan had a clear conscience, so he did not respond. Moreover, the big guys also understand that Xu Yan's death is not Li Xiaonuan's fault. For Xu Yan's sister-in-law's slander, naturally no one cares about it. There was no way, Xu Yan's sister-in-law had no choice but to settle down.

It's just that it didn't take long for the Li family to buy land, but didn't they hit Xu Yan's sister-in-law's gun again. For this reason, people have been crying at the junction of the two villages in the past two days, saying that the Li family has rotten their hearts and livers, and they have harmed the marriage and life of a good daughter.

Originally, no one in the old and new Zhou Villages would be curious to listen to these distorted facts. But I can't stand these days, and there are many people who come to hunt cats and rabbits. No, there are two good men who went to ask if it was not.

At that time, Wang Tu's mother, Wang Huang, led several people into the village. It was such a coincidence that Li Xiaonuan and Su Shi were also walking there. So, a war of words ensued.

The Su clan used to be a fierce character, how could he let those people talk nonsense. Seeing that she lifted her sleeves, she stepped forward and gave Xu Yan's sister-in-law two slaps. That's not all, she also grabbed a handful of mud and stuffed it into Xu Yan's sister-in-law's mouth.

Xu Yan's sister-in-law didn't expect that Su Shi would do it directly as soon as she came up, so she didn't react and was succeeded by Su Shi. When she reacted, she simply sat on the ground and cried, complaining to the passing hunters.

Wang Huang first watched the excitement on the side, and when he saw that the hunters were looking at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously, he also said something yes or no. Because there were too many foreign men here, Su Shi's behavior just now was a little too much. Therefore, in addition to glaring at Wang Huang in anger, Su had no reason to beat people.

Li Xiaonuan first looked at the three people around Wang Huang, and then looked at their dresses, and determined that they were here to see Wang Tu. She couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, grabbed Su Shi, who was still trying to reason with others, and said:

"Mother, don't bark at a crazy dog, it seems cheap. Let's go back, right and wrong, heaven is fair and fair, and the world will judge. Besides, what is the truth, everyone who was watching the trial in the Yamen at that time knew what we were talking about. Isn't that saying that the county lord is confused and arbitrarily deciding the case? Look at your anger, it's not worth it. ”

As soon as Li Xiaonuan's words were reminded, many people who had heard the rumors came back to their senses. They talked to each other, lost their initial curiosity, and went out into the mountains together. It's just that the two men who talked to Xu Yan's sister-in-law still haven't left, but listened to Wang Huang's nonsense with great interest.

Xu Yan's sister-in-law saw that the onlookers were gone, and even Li Xiaonuan's mother and daughter had to turn around and leave, where was she willing. As soon as his brain twitched, he rushed forward and hugged Li Xiaonuan's legs, crying: "Ouch, you beat me to death, let me accompany my poor sister-in-law." ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Xu Yan's sister-in-law in disgust, and saw that she wiped the spittled mud Xingzi on her pants. When he was angry, he didn't care about persuading Su Shi not to get angry, and kicked Xu Yan's sister-in-law in the face.

Xu Yan's sister-in-law didn't hide, she lay on the ground with a wail, whimpering and crying.

Wang Huang pointed to Li Xiaonuan's mother and daughter, and said to the people around her: "Look, you say that such a family, can I not be in a hurry to withdraw from my relatives." Look at their mother and daughter's unreasonable sprinkling, who dares to be their in-laws. ”

"That is, you must not believe those who say that Wang Tu came to chaos and withdrew his relatives. In fact, it's all the family's fault. If it weren't for them, my sister-in-law wouldn't have ruined her reputation, and she wouldn't have died so miserably in the end. God, why are you always so unfair? Xu Yan's sister-in-law cried on the ground.

The three women beside Wang Huang lowered their heads and whispered a few words, then nodded to Wang Huang. Wang Huang smiled proudly, looked at Li Xiaonuan's mother and son provocatively, and said: "This is the mother's family of my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, and I came to see the new house today." It's really unfortunate that they just happened to run into your mother and daughter,"

After speaking, she took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and laughed "sneering".

Li Xiaonuan pulled the annoyed Su family, and calmly said to Wang Huang's family: "Oh, Wang Tu is finally married." It's so nice, congratulations to him for me. It's good that he hasn't been delayed by you. ”

Su Shi also gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, congratulations to you." It's really hard to meet such an in-laws, and you have to cherish it. Su said this to the three women.

Li Xiaonuan looked coldly at Xu Yan's sister-in-law, who was half-lying on the ground, gloating, and stabbed: "Congratulations to this sister-in-law, today's scene is very good, I guess I can get more copper plates." ”

After speaking, Li Xiaonuan pulled Su Shi, who had a tense face, and walked away. (To be continued.) )
