Chapter Forty-Six: It's All Soaphorn's Fault

There are more than 10 saponaria trees on the left side of the courtyard of the Du family, which were planted by Grandpa Du himself, and now more than 20 years have passed, these saponaria trees are in the prime of life, hundreds of catties of honey locusts every year, and the income of these dozen trees is more than a few acres of high-quality paddy fields.

It is difficult for the honey locust tree to grow naturally, and it takes more than ten years from growth to fruiting, which is too long, and there are three or two scattered trees in Dujia Village in addition to Dujia. In addition to selling the soaphorn collected by the Du family every year to the county seat, it is exchanged with the people in the village, after all, washing clothes with soaphorn is much cleaner than grass and wood ash, and it smells fragrant.

There are a lot of eyes in the village of more than a dozen soaphorn trees of the Du family, but fortunately, Grandma Du can be a person, and every year she collects a few small things from each family, but no one has ever destroyed them. (It's your dog that's too fierce!) )

Xiao thinks that there are a lot of pork and soaphorn trees in the Du family, and the second Xiucai Niang at the entrance of the village is one.

Seeing that Qiu received it, several grandchildren and daughters-in-law of the Du family went out to kill pigs, and Xiucai Niang touched into the garden of the Du family and planned to bring a basket of soap horns back. The big dog of the Du family went out to kill pigs and eat meat, and no one would find out at all.

Coincidentally, Grandma Du thought that her little grandson and granddaughter would come back today, so she thought about picking a big sweet pumpkin specially reserved for the children in the garden. The big round pumpkin, the dolls at home who are steamed out of sweet silk love to eat, and the rest of the garden are specially reserved for the children by Grandma Du.

When Grandma Du entered the garden, she saw a lot of branches on the ground, and when she looked inside, she saw Xiu Cai Niang walking out of a gap in the fence, and immediately chased after her, dragging Xiu Cainiang's basket to prevent her from leaving. Xiucai Niang was afraid that she would be known for stealing things, so she pushed Grandma Du but didn't expect Grandma Du to fall straight back, and Xiucai Niang ran back to her house directly.

The villagers who passed by saw Grandma Du lying on the road, and immediately ran to Du's house to call people, but they didn't expect that the adults of the Du family went to kill pigs, leaving only Du Qi, who was on the autumn harvest holiday, to watch the children at home. The adult didn't see it, and ran to Grandpa Du's house and called Du Ming, Du Xin's daughter-in-law, come over. Waiting for Grandma Du to wake up and tell the truth of the matter, Grandpa Du went directly to Lizheng.

After telling what happened, Liu Tao, the eldest aunt of the Du family, was even more angry: "Just now I went to shoot Xiucai's house, and Xiucai's daughter-in-law actually lied to us that the old woman was not there. There are Jin and his uncle to make cabinets for people, and there are few men in our family, waiting for Chengzi to come back and have to pick up the skin of that old thing! ”

The second aunt of the Du family nodded vigorously beside her, and Du Kaitai, who was talking to several people, came back with an ox cart, and the doctor also followed behind.

Du Niang was afraid of scaring the children, so she drove all the children to Du Qi's house.

There is no Langzhong in Dujia Village, and when the villagers are sick, they are looking for Dr. Li from Lijia Village next door, and they will go to the county seat if they are strict.

Dr. Li looked like he was in his fifties, his hair was mixed with a few strands of silver, and he was carrying a medicine box, and on the way to the scene, he only heard that the patient had fainted, and now when he heard that he had fallen to the ground on the back of his head, he immediately became more cautious.

Dr. Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Grandma Du was awake, raised his hand and waved in front of Grandma Du's eyes and asked, "Big sister, do you have flowers?" Can you see clearly? ”

"Don't spend, you can see clearly."

"Dizzy or not? Do you feel like throwing up? ”

"I'm not dizzy, I don't want to vomit."

"Does it hurt to have a headache?"

"It hurts."

"What does it hurt? How does it hurt? Does it hurt like a pinprick or does it swell and hurt? ”

……

The two asked and answered, and then Dr. Li pressed the back of Grandma Du's head a few times.

Dr. Li said while writing the prescription: "People's heads are the most expensive, they can't be knocked or touched, and there will never be such a thing in the future." After writing it, Fang Zifu asked again: "Who is in charge of this family?" ”

Du Niang stepped forward, "Doctor, the sick family is my mother-in-law, and my man will rush back immediately in the county seat." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

Du Niang thanked her and led the person into the living room. Youjin's daughter-in-law got her mother-in-law's order early to burn the cauldron in the yard, Du Niang poured hot tea for the doctor, invited her third nephew Du Youcai to come over to accompany her, looked at a few children, and went to Grandma Du's house to wait.

……

Du Gaoshu heard that his brother and daughter-in-law were stunned by Xiucai's mother, and immediately brought his daughter-in-law's grandchildren to Du's house, waiting to know that Xiucainiang stole the soaphorn to push down, and directly took his grandson to knock on the door of Xiucai's house, the door was opened, and a litter of little babies would only cry for dolls, and Xiucai's daughter-in-law hummed and chirped that her mother-in-law went to her sister-in-law's house early in the morning and was not at home at all, and it was impossible for her mother-in-law to push people down, and she wanted to blackmail money! After saying that, the door snapped shut.

Du Gaoshu was furious when he heard this, turned his head and went to find Li Zheng, but Li Zheng went to the field to see the rice, waiting to find Li Zheng back from the field, and the three brothers of Xiucai, who were also watching the crops in the field, also got a letter saying that their mother knocked Du Cheng and his mother next door unconscious, and the whole family ran back in a hurry without caring about the others.

Du Gaoshu shouted that no one paid attention to it, and no one dared to ignore Du Changqing's shouting.

Xiucai's daughter-in-law, Zhao Sulian, opened the door with a smile and said to Li Zheng: "Uncle Li Zheng, don't listen to their nonsense, my mother went to my sister-in-law's house early in the morning, and she was not at home at all, do you want to believe it and let people go to my sister-in-law's house to ask." ”

Comparing the character of Du Chengniang and Xiucai Niang, Du Changqing still believes in Du Chengniang more, and said with a solemn face: "What about your mother-in-law?" Let her out! ”

Zhao Sulian smiled, with a deaf expression, and shouted loudly: "Lizheng, I said that my mother went to my sister-in-law's house!" Not at home!! ”

Du Qingshan was yelled at by Zhao Sulian's loud voice, and he almost lost his breath.

Xiucai's brothers and sisters-in-law arrived at the right time, and stopped in front of Du Changqing and Zhao Sulian respectively with a smile, for fear that the two would pinch each other.

"Lizheng, you're here! I've heard about this, if it's really my mother's doing, what do you say, let's do it, first dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas! Du Chaodong patted Du Changqing's chest and reassured.

Du Changqing sighed, "Dongzi, I know that you are all good, I can't listen to this matter partially, wait for Aunt Gao Shan to confront the two of you after reading the doctor!" ”

The three brothers nodded yes, both east and south.

However, a figure in the distance rushed towards the village in a few minutes, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Du Cheng who rode back on a donkey.

Du Cheng didn't look at the group of people around the door of Xiucai's house, turned over and got off the donkey and ran towards the house, and when he entered the house, he saw Grandma Du sitting on the bed well, and sat directly on the ground with a sigh of relief, and kept shouting: "Mother! You're scared your son to death! Luckily, it's okay! Luckily, it's okay! ”

Father Du was carried by Du Niang to sit on the stool, drank a bowl of hot water to suppress the shock, and briefly said what happened, Du Cheng was furious when he heard it, "Lao Tzu went to find the old lady to settle accounts!" ”

Du Niang followed out of the house, stopped Father Du and said, "Wait, Doctor Li has been waiting for you for a long time!" Let's go and see what the doctor has to say! ”

"Okay, let's go check it out." Daddy Du compromised.
