Chapter 2 It's really exciting
In the early morning, the clouds and mist are shrouded in the mountain passes, and it is only when the sun shines that these white fogs gradually disappear, and the scenery in between is quietly visible.
In the small village at the foot of the mountain pass, smoke wafted from many rooftops, and the occasional rooster crowed and the dog barked, but it was still very quiet.
In the village, there is a mother-in-law who gets up early to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, one by two carrying wild vegetable baskets, walking from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, getting up early to walk and chatter.
There were three mothers-in-law walking on the road and talking happily, and suddenly saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl coming over, a rough blue cloth dress washed white, the belt was also worn, the neckline sleeves and elbows were patched, and she walked in a hurry, which was really energetic.
They stood and fixed their eyes to see that this was not the ugly orange of Li Laifu's family, and they were going up the mountain to chop wood with an axe in their hands.
A mother-in-law greeted her with a smile, but she didn't expect the ugly orange to pass without caring about it, and her face didn't look very good.
The other looked strange, she should go to the west of the village to chop firewood, why did she go to the east, and it seemed that she was going to Li Youfu's house.
At this time, there was another mother-in-law in the distance, obviously chasing the ugly orange, she saw that she was also in her forties, medium build, unable to catch up with the ugly orange's footsteps, and she didn't run a few steps before she gasped.
This mother-in-law is a neighbor of the ugly orange family, her husband's surname is Li, and the ugly orange is a little close, the ugly orange usually calls her Aunt Tao, and the relationship between the two families is still good.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law hurriedly stopped her, there seemed to be something going on here, they hurried to listen and listen, couldn't it be that the ugly orange stole her axe?
Aunt Tao called someone to stop her, and seeing that the ugly orange was getting farther and farther, she was so anxious that she shook off the hands of those people, "Spread it out, I'm afraid that Li Youfu's family will make trouble later!" ”
This mother-in-law was originally going to listen to things, but when she saw that Aunt Tao was in a hurry, she said that she was going to make trouble, so she hurriedly spread her hand and let people pass.
Of course, they also followed, and the matter of going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables had already left them in the back of their heads, and this daughter took an axe to find her own father, this new thing, but it was not something that could be touched back, and they had to rush this hot trip.
This mother-in-law was in a hurry, and her mouth was not idle, pestering Aunt Tao to ask this and that, this Aunt Tao was anxious, and she also cried out for the ugly orange girl, so she told this girl casually.
Today's matter, in the final analysis, I have to blame Li Youfu, that is, the ugly orange's mother, who did the wrong thing.
A few days ago, Li Laifutuo brought back the old bull head of the village next door, and brought back the silver taels of the ugly orange lady in the past few months, and the old cow head and Li Laifu worked as a porter at the wharf together, and lived in the two villages next door......
"Hey, that's weird, why didn't this Li Laifu bring back the silver by himself, and ask someone to pass it over?"
"Ouch, do you still know this Li Laifu, a son can't wait to break it into several parts, he asked someone to bring the silver back, can't he stay in the town and carry more sacks!!"
"Tut-tut, as far as you know, you are the ...... of his family"
"Ouch, you guys still don't listen to me!!"
"Gotta get it, you say you ......"
Aunt Tao was already annoyed, and she made this mother-in-law even more noisy all the way, she nagged impatiently, and threatened that she wouldn't say anything if they weren't honest.
This mother-in-law wanted to listen to the story, so naturally she had to follow Aunt Tao'er, and they were busy coaxing her to come on.
Aunt Tao was already talking, but now she wants her to stop talking, she really can't stop, so she will continue to talk.
Li Laifutuo sent money to the old bull head, but this old bull head didn't know the door, and he didn't know the affairs of their old Li family, so he asked everyone where was the ugly orange and where was the ugly orange.
How did the people in the village know which ugly orange mother he was asking, so they gave him instructions nearby, and it happened that Li Youfu's home was placed in the east of the village, so they went to Li Youfu's branch.
When the old cow head arrived at Li Youfu's house, Li Youfu, who was not in a hurry, went to the ground, and his house was cleaning up the yard.
Li Youfu was overly proficient, and when she heard it, she understood that this old bull was looking for the wrong door, but as soon as she saw the silver, both eyes stretched out their little paws, and she accepted it without caring about anything.
Okay, it's four taels of silver!!
Now it's hard to come to Fu's side, Laifu's left and right can't wait for the silver to come, so they ask someone to ask, but their village is in a ravine, and only people go to the town every three or five days, so they can only wait until someone catches up to go.
Later, someone in the village wanted to catch the market, and when they arrived in the town, they went to the dock to find Li Laifu and told him about it.
Li Laifu felt strange, he had already asked someone to bring the silver back, why did the baby and his mother still come to ask?
Feeling that this was wrong, he hurriedly went to find the old bull head, he did not suspect that the old bull head had taken away his silver, and the people who worked on the docks were coolies, and they would not do this, but this silver was only in his hands, and he had to ask.
When the old bull heard this, he was even more puzzled, and explained clearly where he went to Nanao Village, where he asked, and how he found the ugly orange and her mother.
Li Laifu was most worried about this result, this old bull head really found the wrong door, and he was busy asking the man to go back to the village to tell his mother-in-law.
That's it, tossing back and forth for more than half a month, and when Laifu came to the door, Li Youfu and the two of them were stunned and didn't give it, saying that the silver was given to them by Li Laoer, if she wanted to go back, just wait for Li Laifu to return to the village and ask clearly.
This Li Laifu works as a porter at the dock, and he can only come back after the New Year, and now it is only June, and Li Laifu has to return to the village for half a year.
This matter has been hidden from the ugly orange, the family's rations she gave the ugly orange to eat, as soon as she arrived at the meal, she went out, lied to the ugly orange that she ate it alone, and pretended to take a bowl to wash it outside, the ugly orange went to the mountains to dig wild mushrooms all day long, and exchanged some potato heads and taro with the people in the village, and came back late, I didn't know anything.
That's it, the Fu family tossed for three or four days, and today I couldn't hold it anymore, fainted at home, if it wasn't for the ugly orange coming back from the mountain early, this Fu family's estimation would not work.
It's really sad to say, when the ugly chrysanthemum entered the house, the Laifu family fainted in the hall, and there was a half-bitten potato head in her hand, which was still she waiting for the ugly orange to go out, and secretly ran to her house to ask her for a loan.
Although the two of them are poor, they are very strong in their bones, and she will not open this mouth until the last resort.
This morning, she heard a movement next door, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, and when the ugly orange asked, she was angry, and she didn't have a door on her mouth, and she shook everything clearly.
However, she didn't expect that the ugly orange, who is usually inconspicuous and undewy, is not a joke when she starts a fire, she helped her mother to the bed, asked her to help take care of it, picked up the axe at the door of the house and ran out.
She came back to her senses, and hurriedly beckoned Aunt Zhao on the other side to take care of her, and chased her out......
