Chapter 36
The official road entrance is not much away from Xiaxi Village, just walked to the entrance of the village, met a young woman, only to see her eyebrows and eyes raised, the corners of her eyes are quite amorous, the tip of the nose is slightly hooked, the lips are plump and colorful, although the complexion is dark, it is also a black girl, but this grass green cardigan skirt is not very suitable for her, it seems that her complexion is darker.
Lu Xiaoyi has been wearing it for so long, and he has never seen this woman, so he has to pretend that he didn't see it and bury his head in his own way.
"Huh! Lu Xiaoyi, didn't you see your aunt greeting you? ”
If it is swaying and looking forward to greeting, Lu Xiaoyi is indeed a little rude and cares about the beauty in vain.
"Auntie, it's early." Don't bring your last name, fool the past and talk about it.
"Xiao Yi, where did you come from early in the morning?"
"Uh~ My dad forgot to take the lunch, I'll send it."
"That's from the official road, did you see your Uncle Zhang's car?" The corners of the woman's eyes were raised as she spoke, and her eyes looked like small hooks.
"Uncle Zhang?" Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while, "Uncle Gao Ming?" ”
"Hmmm! Well! It's not him, who else? ”
The voice is so charming, Lu Xiaoyi shuddered when he heard it, Zhang Gaoming's daughter-in-law Lu Xiaoyi had seen it, and she had also made a move in the battle of the vegetable field, who was this woman in front of her? Lu Xiaoyi suddenly thought of a person, Chen's fourth daughter-in-law, a little widow.
She looked at the woman in front of her with a blank expression, and tried to shout, "Aunt Chen! ”
The woman laughed: "It is said that the Lu family Xiaoyi is smart and clever, why is he stupid today?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi simply smirked, and Widow Chen repeated the question just now.
Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes as if reminiscing, and then said very sincerely: "Auntie, when I left, I saw that Uncle Zhang's car was still there, and I said that I was sending someone's little daughter-in-law out of the customs, and I didn't give money for one night, and I didn't hear the one behind, auntie, what did Uncle Zhang mean?" Why don't you charge for a night? ”
Pretending to be innocent, he looked at Widow Chen.
Widow Chen's face suddenly turned black like Bao Gong, Lu Xiaoyi pretended to be frightened, and said with a crying voice: "Auntie, your face is so scary, did I say something that shouldn't be said?" ”
Widow Chen pulled up a reluctant smile, "Xiao Yi, hurry up and go home, my aunt has something to do, I'll go first." ”
Lu Xiaoyi watched Widow Chen rush towards the direction of the official road, walked more than ten steps, and then turned back, thinking that he didn't want to mess with Zhang Gaoming in broad daylight!
After all, she was a widow.
Widow Chen hurriedly caught up with Lu Xiaoyi, took out two pennies with a smile, and spread them out in the palm of her hand.
There is a request for someone and bribes with money, Lu Xiaoyi pretended not to understand, and said suspiciously: "Aunt Chen? His eyes frequently aimed at the two copper coins in Widow Chen's hand, looking like she couldn't stand the temptation.
Widow Chen smiled kindly, and said in a seductive tone: "Xiaoyi, my aunt asked you about something, and you obediently told your aunt that these two cents are yours, and you can use them to buy candy to eat." ”
Lu Xiaoyi nodded hurriedly, and said in an eager tone: "Auntie, you ask, ask." He even stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, looking particularly gluttonous.
"Xiao Yi, how much money does your father's donkey cart make a day?"
Lu Xiaoyi had expected her to ask this, as the saying goes, 'people's hearts are separated from their stomachs', not to mention the hearts of people who involve money, and they are even more multifaceted. She lent the donkey to Zhang Gaoming to carry passengers, and wanted to share some money from it, but she was not a serious daughter-in-law, many things were uncontrollable, and the suspicions in her heart would only increase.
Thinking of Zhang Gaoming insulting her father behind her back just now, she endured her anger, how could she let it go easily when Widow Chen sent it to her, knowing that Zhang Gaoming's business was the worst, but she said to Widow Chen like this: "I heard my father say to my mother, 'Hey! I'm stupid and can't speak, I can earn six or seven dollars a day, and the big guy of the Zhang family will come soon, and the guests are all robbed by him, and he earns more than a few carts. 'Aunt Chen, my father comes back every day and sighs, I can't make any money, my family hasn't bought meat for a long time. ”
Widow Chen remembered that Zhang Gaoming told her that she earned three or four dollars a day, and sometimes she played a whiteboard, and she couldn't make money at all, so it turned out that she was lying to her! Widow Chen's face became ugly, and she cursed in a low voice: "The black-hearted thing that has been hit by a thousand knives, the abacus is really loud, and with the old lady's donkey, all the money earned is gone." ”
"Aunt Chen, what are you talking about? Didn't I hear? Lu Xiaoyi leaned in and asked deliberately.
"Huh? Hehe! Auntie is chattering chaotically, nothing is nothing! Widow Chen hurriedly put on a smiling face, looked at Lu Xiaoyi's innocent face, and thought that she was very unkind to set up people's furniture from a child's mouth, Widow Chen's smile became unnatural, and she couldn't help but be a little more worried, in case Xiaoyi went home and told Yulan, Yulan would definitely come to her crookedly, if Mrs. Lu knew, she wouldn't be able to please her, it was a notoriously difficult person in Xiaxi Village, and Zhang Gaoming's daughter-in-law was punished last time.
Widow Chen put the two cents in her hand in front of Lu Xiaoyi's eyes again, "If your aunt asks you today, don't you tell anyone, okay?" You promise your aunt, and the two pennies will be yours. ”
Lu Xiaoyi nodded like pounding garlic and reached out to take the money.
Widow Chen smiled and handed the two cents to Lu Xiaoyi, and patted her on the head, "Xiaoyi is the most well-behaved, as long as you are obedient, my aunt will give you money to buy candy to eat in the future." ”
Lu Xiaoyi nodded, put the two coins in his sleeve pocket, and jumped up and down looking very happy.
Widow Chen put her mind at ease, distanced herself from Lu Xiaoyi, followed unhurriedly, and the two of them entered the village on their front and back feet.
Zhang's yard is right next to the fork in the middle of the village, and a big millstone and an old elm tree have become a gossip gathering point for the people of Xiaxi Village.
It was in his spare time, Lu Xiaoyi saw three or five women around the grinding plate from a distance to collect the soles of their shoes, and Zhang Gaoming's daughter-in-law cleaned up clean and bright, laughing loudly while holding the soles.
When Lu Xiaoyi approached, he just heard Mrs. Zhao coveting the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, "This dress is new, right?" Tsk, look at this color of this style, we can't find a second piece in Xiaxi Village. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family smiled with a spring breeze on her face, pretending to brush her hair, attracting everyone's attention to a silver hairpin inlaid with southern red stone on her head, causing a burst of exclamation, "Wow! Look at this hairpin, it's worth a lot of money, right? The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family said with a smile: "My husband said that it is not worth much, let me wear it and play." ”
"Gao Ming is really generous, he must have made money." Mrs. Zhao praised it, "I am also willing to spend on my daughter-in-law, which is like the one in our family, and I want to break ten petals for a penny." ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family smiled proudly, but she didn't laugh to her heart, these clothes and jewelry are the compensation given to her by her ex-husband and divorce, she has no face when she marries the Zhang family for the second time, these things have been embarrassed to wear at the bottom of the box, but Zhang Gao will be outside tomorrow to mess with flowers and grass, she is also pointed at, in order to catch her husband's heart, she found out the fabric at the bottom of the box and made a few sets of new clothes, and the silver hairpin also showed up, and she wanted to clean herself up beautifully.
No, the effect is obvious, Zhang Gaoming has been tired of her every day these days, coaxing her with good words, and the neighbors around her are even more envious of her.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was smiling, and when she saw Lu Xiaoyi coming, thinking about the loss she suffered last time, she immediately pulled down her face, and although she didn't scratch Lu Xiaoyi on her mouth, her eyes were like knives to rip her off.
Lu Xiaoyi pretended not to see it, because there was a good show to watch soon, and Lu Xiaoyi heard what the group of women were talking about just now, and Widow Chen, who was about ten paces behind her, must have also heard it. She gave Zhang Gaoming eye medicine on her front foot, and at this time, Zhang Gaoming's daughter-in-law also came to continue to smear her, new clothes, southern red hairpins, isn't this a naked show that his man has made money?
As for whether he really made money or not, only Zhang Gaoming himself knows, and as for whether the donkey borrows it or not, he can only wait and see the after-effects.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was disgusted when she saw Lu Xiaoyi, and when she saw the pretty widow Chen behind Lu Xiaoyi, she had a grudge.
The elder of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, who pulled her face, said loudly to Widow Chen: "Yo, I smelled a stench from afar, and it turned out to be a sao fox running over." ”
The other women also saw Widow Chen, their eyes showing disdain, and they looked like they were waiting to see the joke.
Widow Chen is also not afraid of things, she approached unhurriedly, stared at the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family up and down, and sneered: "Some people have a horse face, covered in the smell of horse dung, and smoke one after another!" ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family stood up suddenly, threw the soles of her shoes on the ground, rushed over and pointed at Widow Chen's nose and scolded: "The old lady is not divorced, and the separation is better than your husband, you have been married to the door for three years and killed the man, and I don't know whose seed it is to give birth to a child, you broom star, you scourge people everywhere, you slutty fox, you hook up with people everywhere, as long as you give you a few coppers, you are willing to open your legs, you stinky and shameless slut, see if I don't tear your fox face!" ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was violent, bombarding Widow Chen's sore spot again and again, Widow Chen's face became even darker, looking at the appearance of several other women watching a good show, thinking that if she really did it, she would not be pleased, so she turned her head and left, secretly gritting her teeth, and she had to find Zhang Gaoming to get it back for her anger today.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family scolded more vigorously, until Widow Chen's back disappeared behind a certain wall, then she bent down to pick up the soles of her shoes, shook the dirt on the door, and sat down with other women to reprimand Widow Chen's **.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, let alone a merry widow.
Lu Xiaoyi didn't have the heart to listen to these gossip, she went home and put the two pennies she earned into a small jar, her personal property finally broke through zero, although it was not the income of manual labor, it was also considered mental effort, Lu Xiaoyi happily shook the two copper coins in the jar, laughing at herself for being a fan of small money.
The next night, I heard Lu Zhong say to Yulan: "Zhang Gaoming is no longer carrying passengers." "Because the donkey is gone, it was taken back by Widow Chen.
Yulan scolded and deserved it, and whispered to Lu Zhong: "It's not easy for Chen's fourth daughter-in-law to take care of a child alone, and the fields can't be planted by anyone, there are a lot of people knocking on her door and climbing her bed in our village, usually helping her pick up water and chopping firewood, helping to sow in spring and helping to harvest in autumn, and she can be regarded as taking care of her, but this Gao Ming relies on a mouth to fool her, this time she lent her donkey, and the money was not given to her, and it is difficult to say whether she can borrow a donkey again in the future!" ”
Lu Zhong said angrily: "Their messy things, don't bother with them, Zhang Gaoming is a meat man, he is not quiet anywhere, and he talks about meat all day regardless of the occasion, some big girls and little daughters-in-law take the car, he also grins and talks nonsense, and he was almost beaten several times, but we persuaded him to leave." ”
Yulan whispered even more: "I heard that Zhang Gaoming beat her daughter-in-law and cried and screamed, phew!" It's really not a man, and he stole a valuable hairpin from his daughter-in-law's dowry, and he didn't know whether to be a person or give it away, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family ran to Chen Si's house and cried and made trouble. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, it is estimated that the surrounding villages have spread, shame! ”
Lu Zhong frowned, "Don't go to these things, and don't associate with these people!" ”
Magnolia nodded, and lowered her voice.
In order to hear more follow-ups, Lu Xiaoyi leaned forward, attached all his weight to the door, and with a squeak, he was caught by Yulan, Lu Xiaoyi smirked, "I didn't hear anything!" "The soles of my feet are oiled and slipped.
