Tian Mancang told Pei Mingyuan what he heard in Fucheng.

This week, Popi is also an old household in Fucheng. His father and mother died early, he has not been doing his job since he was a child, his sister, I heard from others, is much better than his brother, but his life is not very good.

At the age of seventeen, he married a close neighbor of his family. Although his family was poor, he was also willing to do it. I used to work in a winery in Fucheng. Later, I was happy to learn the craft, so I quit my job and made my own sake and sold out. Because the price is cheap and not mixed with water, he is also diligent. In addition to selling in fixed stalls, they also carry the burden to sell in villages and townships. The days are getting better and better.

Speaking of this, Tian Mancang couldn't help but sigh, "Why doesn't this good person live long?" The son-in-law of this little lady went out to sell wine in the summer of the second year of marriage, encountered a heavy rainstorm, and when he returned home, it was already dark. When I crossed the river, I probably didn't see it clearly, and I fell into the river and drowned. He paused and said, "The body was found a few days later, in the grass of the river beach more than ten miles away from the place where he fell into the water. ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin into the hall and said, "Originally, when this little lady's husband was here, the two of them were jealous of her family this week. As soon as the little lady's husband left, there was no one to help her in the afterlife, so she took the little lady home from her husband's house. released the news, saying that it was for the little lady to find her mother-in-law's house again, but in fact, it was ......"

Tian Mancang sighed, "...... In fact, it's all about finding some for her, or some family business, and she can be her father and grandfather at that age. Either it is to be a concubine for a large family. This little lady has a bit of backbone and refuses to respond. When the widow fell to the ground, she re-emphasized her husband's livelihood and set up a small shop selling wine. ”

When Pei Mingyuan heard this, he asked in surprise, "According to what you said, this little lady is not like his brother and sister-in-law." "Why are you messing around with them today?

Tian Mancang sighed and said, "This is just the beginning. Later, when he saw that in his sister's wine shop, there were often men coming in and out, so he had a bad idea. ”

"Pull the unknown man to eat wine in his sister's shop. When people got drunk, they changed their faces, saying that they wanted to take advantage of his sister and take the opportunity to extort money. The area around the West City Gate. There is no one who does not know him. The old and familiar households are guarding against him. It is estimated that Brother Cong is also like this. ”

"The little lady was still making trouble earlier that week, and later, she probably got used to it......"

Tian Mancang shook his head and sighed again.

Pei Mingyuan said, "Then his sister doesn't know how to resist?" ”

Tian Mancang said, "Why resist?" She was a widowed woman. There are no close relatives and elders on the side. If you want to get married, or what, isn't it his brother and sister-in-law who have the final say? There is no one close to her husband's family, and besides, when she returns to her parents' house, she has nothing to do with her husband's family. People want to manage it, but they can't manage it. What's more, the posthumous girl is still young, only two or three years old. With the child, she just wanted to go away, but she didn't dare. I'm afraid that something will happen on the road and harm the child. ”

"That's just as well." Pei Mingyuan sighed slightly. Then he heard the voices of the courtyard rise sharply. It was the Han family and the mother-in-law who was skinny that week who quarreled over how much money to lose, and quarreled.

Boss Pei made a decision immediately, and Pei Mingyuan didn't bother to ask again. And he was standing outside. After a while, Pei Laosi also came out.

Pei Mingyuan asked him, "Has this little one been named?" When to make wine? ”

Pei Laosi shook his head first, "Wait for my father to get up, I guess he doesn't have the heart." I thought about calling Mr. Lu in the town, and then the good girl and her mother said that Brother Xuan'er's name was taken from Brother Yue'er's book, and he just asked him to pick a good one according to the word Wang. You don't have to go to Lu's house again. ”

After a pause, he glanced inside and smiled bitterly, "That's the case at home." How can you still bother to make wine? ”

Pei Mingyuan said, "Simply, just like Brother Xuan, you can do it for 100 days." ”

Pei Laosi nodded.

The quarrel inside grew more and more intense.

Zhou Popi's mother-in-law was annoyed by the argument and said loudly, "You have to think about something." and take out two hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, prepare to kiss! As she spoke, she sneered, "Don't think that you can be penniless if you welcome your relatives." If you want to welcome your relatives, take a dowry of one hundred taels, otherwise, we will not finish this matter. ”

After that, the husband and wife strode out of the hall with Zhou Xiaoniang.

That week, he turned his head and shouted inside, "Give you three days to prepare money, and then we will be obedient." If we push it three times or four more, we won't be as good at talking as we are now! ”

After that, he didn't look at Pei Mingyuan and the others, and went straight out of the courtyard.

Pei Ming saw that the people were gone, and went in to take a look. Seeing that Boss Pei and the Han family were both sitting silently with a disillusioned face. When I was about to ask a few questions, the eldest couple didn't take the initiative to speak, thinking that they were upset and impatient. Pei Mingyuan didn't say hello to them, and went out of the courtyard.

Seeing that Zheng San and the others were still outside, either standing or squatting, they gathered together and whispered.

Pei Mingyuan said to them, "Seeing that it's noon, let's go back to our respective homes." After lunch, everyone who has free time comes over to help. ”

The men all answered, and went home.

When Pei Mingyuan returned home, Pei Yan was talking to the Su Huang family, how majestic Pei Mingyuan is today, how to solve the matter over there, etc.

Seeing him come back, Su Shi hurriedly asked, "Can it be decided?" ”

Pei Mingyuan shook his head, and said the quarrel between the Han family and the woman, as well as Tian Mancang's words, and the cruel words that the man finally left behind.

When Su Shi heard this, he said, "If you want to say it like this, that little lady can also marry." "When I first heard Tian Mancang's words, she was still a little lady who was also a water-based flower, and she had the temperament of a wind/flow demon move.

If that's the case, then a hundred can't be married.

Pei Mingyuan waved his hand, "Okay, don't care." Brother Cong didn't ask anyone to take it and beat him to death, which is good. After that, he urged Su Shi to hurry up and cook, and he would work well after eating.

Huang saw that he was busy here, and it was not easy to sit for a long time, so he hurriedly returned to his house.

After lunch, the people who said they were going to work in the morning came in twos and threes. Pei Mingyuan took everyone to Nanshan, which was overgrown with bamboo.

Pei Yan was fine for a while, and still went to see her flowers and plants. I wanted to take a casual look and see how her big watermelon looked.

I swept my eyes, but I saw that there was something white powder on the branches of two or three moons. A shallow, thin layer, not very conspicuous. She took a closer look and thought it was powdery mildew, a common disease of the moon season.

This is a common disease of the moon season. Generally, when the weather is hot and dry, it is easy to get sick, but if it rains frequently, this disease is rare. If more nitrogen fertilizer is applied, the soil is deficient in calcium and potassium fertilizer, and it is easy to get this disease. Then there is the planting that is too dense and the ventilation is not good.

Pei Yan thought about it seriously, although it was summer, her family lived at the foot of the mountain, it was cold and swishing in the morning and evening, and she had to cover a medium-thick quilt at night. It shouldn't be too thermally conductive.

And her yard is so big, with only a dozen or so trees, it is impossible to plant too densely. And the moon season is in the flowering period, and it is summer, and it is not suitable for big fertilizer, she is only ten days and a half a month apart, and she uses the diluted very light fish intestine fertilizer to water it.

I don't think it's because there is too much nitrogen fertilizer, it may be because there is not enough calcium fertilizer.

She wanted to go to the butcher's shop to collect some bones and come back to sharpen the bones, but then she was so busy that she forgot about it. There is nothing important at the moment, Pei Laosi can also come to work, so he simply takes advantage of these days to prepare more bone fat.

Bone fat is one thing, but at the moment, this powdery mildew must be treated quickly, otherwise it will spread and it will be bad.

After thinking about it, she put some money in her pocket and went to the town.

The Lu family first asked Pei Lao to take care of everyone's affairs, and after eating, she remembered Wu Qing'er's actions today, so she pulled her aside and said a few words slowly.

Although she is her niece, she is not her own daughter. She doesn't want to say anything too heavy.

Wu Qing looked frank at this time, and said with a smile, "What my aunt said is that I don't know what's wrong today, and I say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing one after another." Saying that, she stood up with a smile and said, "Aunt just won't tell me, I also want to go and make amends with Aunt Pei and Sister Pei's family." If it weren't for my words, Pei Sanbo would not have stretched out his head to care about their old family's affairs. ”

Hearing her say this, the Lu family couldn't help it, waved his hand and said, "That's it, they are not that stingy people." ”

Wu Qing insisted, "It's their business that they are not stingy. It's my own business that I'm upset. You have to say it to be at ease. ”

So he went.

It made Lu blame himself for being too strict today.

Wu Qing went out of the door of Tian's house and went to Lao Pei's house, when he met Pei Yan and wanted to go to the town.

She hurriedly approached and said what she had said to the Lu clan with a frank expression. He said apologetically, "I'm always to blame today." ”

Pei Yan smiled and said something that was not in the way, and said goodbye to Wu Qing. It's just that the weirdness in my heart hasn't gone away.

After the two parted, Pei Yan went to the hospital to buy some sulfur, and bought some quicklime in the town and returned home. Wu Qing returned home and told her about meeting Pei Yan on the road and listening to her about Pei Mingyuan and others going up the mountain to cut bamboo.

Tian Mancang, who was crooked, hurriedly got up and walked out, "I'll also go over to help." ”

Tian Shiquan, who was sitting in the courtyard, also got up when he saw this.

The Lu family has two things in mind today. One is that Wu Qing, who has always spoken and acted very safely, has been in trouble one after another, and then he is afraid that his mother-in-law's words will arouse his son's thoughts again.

When he saw him, he called out, "What are you going to do with you?" I can't get my hands on it. ”

Wu Qing smiled when he heard this, "Very much." After a pause, he looked at Mama Tian who was sitting in the shade of the tree, and said to Tian Shiquan, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, the loaches sent by the sister of the Pei family, Mama said that it was very smooth to eat. If you're okay now, how about we go to the field and shovel loaches? ”

After a pause, he looked at Tian Xing'er and said with a smile, "Originally, Sister Xing'er and I said that the two of us would go, but I was afraid that people would laugh at us." It just so happens that you're with us. ”

Tian Xing'er nodded happily.

These words were even more Mama Hetian's intentions, and she praised Wu Qing once and told a few people to go quickly.

Seeing that Tian Shiquan was a little reluctant, she glared and said, "Stinky boy, how many years do I have to live?" Can I climb you for a few years? After a pause, he said, "I usually hurt you in vain." I was thinking about enjoying my grandson's blessings. Now it seems that even if I am blessed in the future, it will not be my turn to enjoy. ”

Lu Shi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still forced Tian Shiquan to say, "Go quickly, see how angry your mother is." ”
