Mu Xiangcai doesn't care if he is good or not, it's better to live too much at home, Mu Lang is small, and Caiyun can't help much, she is supporting her alone, and she is almost exhausted. Wu Qing hides in the forest every day, no need to be in vain.

She impatiently urged Wu Qing, "You come in quickly, go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, there is still a lot of work!" ”

Wu Qing's face was white and blue for a while, and his fists were loosened and loosened. But when you turn a corner and think about it, it doesn't seem to be anything. The master asked him to look at the Mu family, but he didn't say whether he was looking at it openly or secretly. He helps Mu Xiang with the work, he should be able to, but tomorrow he still has to fly the pigeon to pass the book and report to the master.

After figuring out the key question, Wu Qing was also relaxed, caught up with Mu Xiang's footsteps, and asked her, "How do you know that I am in the bamboo forest, if I remember correctly, I have never appeared in front of you, could it be that you have internal strength?" "A person with internal strength can sense the breath, and if there is an ambush master around, he will definitely be able to feel it.

Mu Xiang glanced at him, his eyes were like seeing an idiot, but he said irrelevant words in his mouth, "Who told you that you have a strong smell, my black treasure nose is very smart!" ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood. No wonder two days ago, there was always a black puppy running into the bamboo forest, at first he thought that the dog had inadvertently broken in, and he didn't want to startle the snake, so he let the black dog come and go. Unexpectedly, this earth dog is quite fine. But does he really smell that strong? It doesn't seem to be!

Since then, Wu Qing has stayed at Mu Xiang's house, and he is said to be a relative of Mu Xiang's grandmother's family. The roots of the Mu family are not in Yuhe Village, they were brought later in the generation of Mu Xiang's grandfather, and I also heard that the Mu family had relatives outside, but they didn't come to each other, and later when Mu Xiangniang got married, there were relatives who came.

So for this extra free relative, the village didn't say anything. What they said didn't work, who would dare to mess with Muxiang? If she knew that someone had said something bad, she would have to go to that person's house and lift the roof.

**

Looking at the brand-new house, Mu Xiang counted the days, and the first batch of furniture made by Chen De should be delivered. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Wu Qing: "You don't have to lay on the floor tonight, sleep on the kang, let Mu Lang sleep with you too, let him get used to it." ”

She originally planned to wait for the house to be built, and let Mu Lang sleep alone. But suddenly, let him sleep alone, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it, and he would be scared at night, but now with Wu Qing, this problem is solved.

Wu Qing has also been familiar with Mu Xiang in the past few days, but he really treats her as a sister, and responds, "Cheng, then I'll go pick up dung to water the garden, you go back and say okay to Mu Lang, otherwise he will definitely not do it." ”

"I know this, don't worry, I'll tell him," Mu Xiang turned his head to Mu Lang and saw him squatting at the courtyard gate, holding Heibao and playing. A month has passed, Heibao has grown up a little, more and more like a soil dog, and he is not at all as cute as he was when he was a child.

Wu Qing took the flat pole and the dung bucket, and went to the thatched house behind the house. He was not born as a peasant, he was an orphan, and after he could remember, he entered the training camp of the Helian family, and grew up slowly from the cruel training. Before coming to the Mu family, in his life, in addition to protecting his master, he was killing people. I never thought that one day, I would be able to live a comfortable and ordinary life.

Mu Xiang went back to the kitchen and scooped a few bowls of rice and put them in the basin, this was dinner in the evening, but the rice was not refined, there were impurities in it, and before cooking rice, it had to be picked clean. She moved a stool and sat at the gate of the courtyard, sat next to Mu Lang, picked up the rice that had not been hulled, and threw it into the chicken coop. When the hens see something flying in, they pounce on it and grab it, whatever it is.

Mu Xiang pondered the words and coughed lightly, "Mu Lang, do you remember how old you are this year?" ”

"Isn't it eight?" Mu Lang blinked at her with big eyes, and Hei Bao wagged his tail and licked his hand, tickling him a little.

Mu Xiang smiled flatteringly, "Yes, it's eight years old, Mu Lang has a really good memory, so do you know what an eight-year-old boy should do?" ”

Mu Lang shook his head, he really didn't understand.

Mu Xiang explained to him in a whisper, "Eight-year-old boys, they are all big children, they should be independent, they can't sleep in the same room with their sister again, otherwise it will be a joke if it spreads, our new house has been built, Mu Lang will sleep with Brother Wu tonight, okay?" ”

Mu Lang has an attachment to Mu Xiang, the eldest sister, from the bones, as soon as he heard that the eldest sister didn't take him to sleep, his little face immediately collapsed, and his expression was as aggrieved as he was.

Mu Xiang knew that he wouldn't be able to digest this for a while, so he changed his angle and said, "Mu Lang, didn't you say that you want to be a man who stands up to the sky when you grow up?" Since you want to be a man, you have to be a man, let's start by sleeping, as an exercise of courage, you don't want others to call you a coward behind your back, right? Our Mulang is the bravest and most manly, right? ”

Mu Lang was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, his voice muffled, "I know, I'll sleep with Brother Wu tonight!" Subconsciously, he also knew that he couldn't sleep with his eldest sister all the time, and he would have to be separated sooner or later, but he couldn't accept it for a while. It's like a baby who drinks milk, and suddenly weans off, and it must be uncomfortable.

When the house was built, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The rice planted in spring is also harvesting season, and the fields are full of busy figures.

There are those who have sickles, and cut rice. There are also those who carry rice handles and run to their own grain drying fields.

In their place, there is little rain in autumn, and the river recedes a lot. So on a sunny and rainy day, everyone hurried up and did as much as they could. Otherwise, if the weather is not beautiful and it rains, the rice yield will be reduced.

No matter how busy the people in the village are, it doesn't matter about Mu Xiang, she only has a field, which she still wants from Li Dashan, and there is no food. There were still a lot of bits and pieces in the new house that had not been cleaned up, so she bought five more old hens in order to have more eggs.

This time, the chicken coop is lively, ten chickens, basically seven or eight eggs a day. Mu Xiang doesn't sell a single egg, but keeps it all for cooking and eating, and improves the food for his younger brothers and sisters.

Wu Qing left within a few days, and it is said that he received an order from his master to rush to the frontier. Looking at Wu Qing's solemn expression, Mu Xiang guessed that this time there was a lot of trouble. It's just right that he's gone, and Mu Xiang can also be busy with his own work more conveniently.

According to her agreement with Chen, Mu Xiang can receive a batch of casings every once in a while. After she took it back, she hung it in the house and didn't move for the time being. Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Chen wondered more than once, and even Da Mei asked several times.

Da Mei's family has relatives with the Chen family, and when he went to the town that time, Lin Changshui went with him, and he knew it, and Da Mei definitely couldn't hide it.

But no matter how they asked, Mu Xiang just didn't answer, and before the time came, they might not be able to understand what he said.

These days, Mu Xiang also has a lot of free time.

The firewood needed for the winter at home, Wu Qing chopped it when he was there, and stacked a half-wall-high firewood stack, which was enough for the winter.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it rained for half a month.

Mu Xiang began to make clothes, pasting the soles of her shoes and tying them. Before making cotton shoes, she first made a few pairs of single slippers, washed her feet at night, and could wear them. Slippers are easier to make, just practice your hands.

Several pairs of slippers have been made one after another, and Mu Xiang's craftsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the shoes made are decent. She also learned to embroider, embroidering on her shoes with Caiyun, which is very simple, a plum blossom, or a bamboo leaf.

In addition to shoes and winter clothes, there are also quilts, which have to be prepared.

On this day, Mu Xiang finished watering the vegetable garden, and seeing that it was still early for lunch, he was ready to go back to the house, and quickly made the cut cloth into a quilt cover. It was something she had come up with by chance.

How would the ancients think of the quilt cover, the quilt is generally covered, the quilt is covered, and then the white cotton thread is used along the edge of the quilt.

However, in this way, it is inconvenient to disassemble and wash. So Mu Xiang went to the town cloth village and came back with a coarse cloth with white flowers on a blue background. Although it is a coarse cloth, it is also spun from cotton, and if you wash it with rice washing water, it will be very soft.

Caiyun carried the shrimp net, followed by Mu Lang, and the two of them came out of the courtyard gate together, and were picking up Mu Xiang who was carrying a bucket home, "Sister, I will take Mu Lang to the back to fish for shrimp, and I will come back before dark." ”

Mu Xiang didn't care too much, "Don't go to the river, just fish in a nearby ditch, if you can't carry it, turn around and call me." "They often go to catch small fish and shrimp, although those things are more troublesome to clean up, but the wood fragrance will get it, steamed shrimp paste, small dried fish, very good for rice. Caiyun and Mu Lang also like to eat, so they go out once a day.

"Hey, got it," Caiyun waved his hand without looking back. Don't forget to remind Mu Lang in a whisper, walk to see the road, and pay attention not to trip and fall.

Seeing that the two of them walked away, Mu Xiang retracted his gaze, took the bucket home, put it under the eaves of the porch, and went to fetch well water to fill the vat at the kitchen door.

Her family's well was built when the house was being built. They will also do this work, and they don't need to hire another person, so they have it all.

One thing has to be said. Regarding the work of the contractor, after Wang Xi and Lin Changzhuan carefully calculated, Mu Xiang also paid them according to the normal price of building a house, removing the cost and labor costs, and also earned some silver, compared with doing it alone, it is indeed cost-effective.

So in the past few days, Lin Changzhuan and Wang Xi have been together every day to study what to do next. Although they wanted to come and ask Mu Xiang, they were embarrassed to come over for the sake of face, so they had to study at home.

The newly covered kitchen is very spacious, and a two-pot earthen stove has been built, and there is a small pot in the middle of the two earthen stoves, which is usually filled with water, so that when cooking rice or boiling water in a large pot, the small pot in the middle can always maintain the temperature.

Because the kitchen is large, Mu Xiang and they eat in the kitchen, there is a small table inside, a few small stools, and Mu Xiang also bought a vegetable cabinet for food bowls. In order to facilitate winter kimchi, she went to find a workshop that made jars and ordered a batch of jars with grooves at the mouth of the jar.

When the jar is filled with something and water is added to it, it can be well isolated from bacteria and is not easy to grow mold.

There was still some food left at noon, enough for the three of them to eat, so Mu Xiang added a fire under the earthen stove and put the food in the cauldron and steamed it.

Seeing that it was getting late, he began to clean up the things in the yard to dry.

The room where they used to sleep is now a storage room. Muxiang's first batch of soaked mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts was not too successful, she thought about it, it might be a matter of temperature and brewing time. Later, because of the construction of the house, the time was delayed, so I didn't get it again.

The beans that are sprouting right now were made the day before yesterday. She made the storage room very warm, hoping that it would be beneficial for the sprouts.

Just as she was busy, there was a sudden noise in the silent village.

Mu Xiang was stunned, remembering that Mu Lang and Caiyun hadn't come back yet. If others make trouble or not, it has nothing to do with her, she only cares about Mu Lang and Caiyun.

After thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease, so he put on a coat, locked the courtyard door, and went out with Heibao to find Caiyun and them.

Heibao is so fast that she is almost up to her knees, and she likes to pounce on people. Mu Xiang sometimes couldn't stand it, and when she saw it circling around her legs, she couldn't help but kick it gently, "You're about to trip me, you can't walk properly, right?" ”

Although Heibao can't understand human words, he has been following the master for a long time, and he still understands the master's feelings. Knowing that the owner was unhappy, he really didn't dare to make any more trouble, ran in front, and ran to the pond behind the house.

The rice in the fields has been harvested, and the rape and wheat have been planted, but the malt has not yet emerged, and the rape is also the same, and there are only small pits in the fields.

In ancient times, the method of planting rape was very primitive, first ploughing the field, then dividing the ridges, then using a hoe to dig the pit, then sprinkling the seeds, then sprinkling the manure piled up with plant ash, and finally watering it thoroughly. If the weather is dry over the next few days, you will need to water it again, depending on the situation.

Speaking of which, watering is the most tiring, and most of this work is done by men, carrying two buckets with a flat pole, going to the side of a small ditch or a pond to fetch water, and then picking it back.

As for planting wheat, it is relatively simple, after ploughing the field, it is fertilized, filled with water, and then sprinkled with wheat seeds.

It seems like a simple farm job, but it is still very difficult for Mu Xiang. The experience of many old peasants has been accumulated over several lifetimes, and it is by no means something that can be mastered overnight.

In autumn, the weeds on the stalks have died, and the trees by the river pond have lost their leaves, and they are bare.

All the qiē is a sign that winter is coming.

Mu Xiang followed the road where they often fished for shrimp, but she didn't see Caiyun and Mu Xiang, she was a little anxious, "Where did you go?" ”

"Wow!"

Heibao, who had been running ahead, suddenly stopped, looked in the direction of the village, and called twice.

Mu Xiang's heart tightened, "You mean, Caiyun and they went to the village?" ”

Of course, Heibao would not answer her, and ran to the village on his own.

Mu Xiang hurriedly followed.

Heibao has the best relationship with Mu Lang, and it is not surprising that he can smell his aroma.

The setting sun and the sunset reflect the Yuhe Village, which is also covered with a layer of pale gold.

Before she got close to the village, Mu Xiang heard the sound of a quarrel, and it seemed that there was also the sound of colorful clouds. She was in a hurry and ran forward.

When I was about to reach the main road of the village, I saw a circle of people under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

"Caiyun, Mu Lang!" Mu Xiang screamed in a panic, rushed up to break through the crowd, and squeezed in.

As soon as she stood still, she saw Caiyun arguing with a girl of a similar age, and Mu Lang stood behind her, staring at the girls with his eyes. There are also many lively villagers around, and in the very center, there is a vendor's burden, and there are many knick-knacks in it.

Mu Xiang walked over and pulled Mu Lang down, "Why are you two here?" I'm in a hurry! ”

As soon as Mu Lang saw her coming, his face, which was still tense just now, immediately stepped down and called her weakly: "Eldest sister......"

"Okay, okay, isn't the eldest sister here? Don't cry," Mu Xiang took him in his arms, and then raised his eyes to look at Caiyun, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Caiyun also saw her coming, and when she turned to look at her, there were still tears in her eyes, and she stepped forward and pulled down Mu Xiang's sleeve, "Eldest sister...... It's okay, let's go home! ”

Mu Xiang can't see her relatives being bullied, she is protecting her shortcomings, her younger brothers and sisters, she is reluctant to roar, and now she is being bullied by others, how can she bear it!

Besides, she knows Caiyun's temperament best, she has a gentle temperament, and if she doesn't force a certain course, she won't be against others. When she rushed in just now, she seemed to hear Caiyun yelling, "I didn't! ”

Compared with her current appearance, Mu Xiang knew with her toes that she had been wronged. This is worth it, if it leaves a shadow on her psychology, won't it be erased for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiang's eyes were slightly cold, she held Caiyun in one hand, Mu Lang in the other, and glared at the girl, "Can you sue me, what are you arguing about?" ”

In the crowd of onlookers, there was Liu, and there was Huang standing next to her, as well as Ma Er's daughter-in-law, these three are the owners of the village, that mouth, not to mention annoying, but they themselves don't know, where to drill where there is excitement, lest the world will not be chaotic.

As soon as he heard Mu Xiang ask, he pointed to Caiyun urgently.

"Your Caiyun stole something, you are embarrassed to ask what's the matter, our Yuhe Village's face has been lost by her!"

"She not only steals, but also beats people, and she doesn't open her eyes to see, who is she going to beat, Xiaoqing is a member of the Shao family, she really eats leopard gall, your family wants to find death, we don't want to!"

These words were said by the second daughter-in-law to the Huang family, and the Liu family waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and then said in a weird manner: "Didn't our face in Yuhe Village have long been lost by her?" A girl who is not married, there are men in the family every day, ouch, you talk about it, isn't this a shame? ”

Liu's person belongs, and if she doesn't repair it for three days, her skin will itch. From the beginning, she didn't like Mu Xiang, which was also related to Mu Xiang's beauty, once Liu Mazi inadvertently said that she leaked her mouth at home and praised Mu Xiang. Can this girl not hold grudges? Besides, she herself is ugly, she has grown three skin monkeys, her figure has long been deformed, her breasts are drooping, and her small belly is also grateful, how can there be beauty at all. She doesn't damage the wood fragrance, can she feel better in her heart?

Liu's speech was bad, and the second daughter-in-law and Huang were just about to agree, when they saw Mu Xiang's cold eyes sweeping towards them. The eyes with the taste of yin limit, swept over their bodies, as if they were crawling over by poisonous snakes, instantly freezing the three of them in place, and they didn't dare to come out.

After Mu Xiang glanced at the three of them, she set her eyes on the girl who was arguing with Caiyun.

The girl wore a pink long-sleeved gown, a cotton vest with a few plum blossoms embroidered on it, and the skirt was long, so she didn't look like a worker. Behind her stood an old woman with washed white clothes. Looking at the costumes of these two people, it should be a young lady from which house, with the old mother. But it's not a big family, and it doesn't look like it's dressed like it.

When Shao Qing'er saw Mu Xiang coming over, she was not afraid of the fierce look in her eyes, but raised her chin proudly, looking like an arrogant eldest lady, "What do you see, she stole my money bag, such a poor person, if she hadn't stolen my money, where would she get the money to buy things?" ”

Caiyun was most afraid that the eldest sister would hate her and dislike her, hearing Shao Qing'er's harsh words, her eyes suddenly turned red again, and she was anxious to justify, "I didn't, I really didn't, my money was given by my eldest sister, I don't even know you, how can I steal your money, don't blame people," said, Caiyun covered her face and cried, while grabbing Mu Xiang's hand, "Eldest sister, you believe me, I didn't steal her money, I really didn't have ......"

Mu Lang couldn't get angry, pointed at Shao Qing'er and scolded: "It's not my second sister, you're a bad person!" Villain! ”

Mu Xiang stretched out her hand to wipe away Caiyun's tears, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, the eldest sister will definitely get justice for you, no one wants to bully you, if anyone dares to bully you, see if I don't break her legs!" She said in a loud voice, deliberately revealing a fierce gaze and sweeping the faces of the people around her.

That's hard enough. The wild leopard that was killed last time, although Mu Xiang hid it, he didn't want the people in the village to know. But Lin Changzhuan and Wang Xi are also frank men, and when someone asks, they can't say that the arrow on the wild leopard's eye was shot by them, how embarrassing it is. Therefore, later everyone in the village knew that Muxiang was good at archery, and he was bold. If it were someone else, I would have been scared and wouldn't have been able to stand up.

After that incident, the people in the village looked at Mu Xiang, more or less, with a little fear, and they didn't dare to provoke her at will.

When Liu saw the people next to her, she took a step back, she didn't want to be an arrow target, so she also retreated to the back. They didn't return it, and as soon as they retreated, a woman with her head bowed and the soles of her shoes was separated.

She didn't know it herself, and she was still pinching her throat and sneering, "She's used to stealing money, I don't know how many times she stole before, the dog can't change eating, and she still expects her to have a long memory?" Alas, there is a baby who has no one to raise, it is cheap! ”

Liu's, Huang's and Er's daughter-in-law stared at the woman who spoke with strange eyes - I don't know who doesn't have a long memory, and it hasn't been long since the last time they were splashed with water! When the three of them said it, they still had some affection, but she was good, she didn't say anything, and in front of so many people, she was obviously at a loss, what is this not looking for death?

After Chen Mei'e finished speaking, she felt that the aura around her was wrong, she glanced up, and finally her eyes fell on Mu Xiang and saw that she was walking towards her. Chen Mei'e was startled, took the soles of her shoes, blocked in front of her, and asked nervously, "What are you going to do?" I didn't say anything, why do you still want to fight? "She's afraid of Mu Xiang, this girl doesn't care about people at all, and she can't beat her. If she really dared to beat her stepmother in front of so many people, her old face would be lost.

Seeing Chen Mei'e's face full of fear, the Liu family was completely dumbfounded. Is this still the spicy and arrogant Chen Mei'e? A person like that before was actually scared like this by his stepdaughter

Mu Xiang pinched her arm, walked five steps in front of her, and stopped, her big eyes covered by Liuhai blinked flickering, "Why don't you say it?" Aren't you quite able to say that? If you have the guts, you can say another sentence and I'll listen! ”

In the crowd of onlookers, there were several elderly mothers-in-law, who probably felt that Mu Xiang should not use this attitude to talk to her stepmother, and persuaded: "Mu Xiang, she is your elder, no matter how wrong it is, you can't talk to her like this!" ”

Another chubby grandmother also said: "Which mother doesn't scold her baby, she says a few words and it's nothing, isn't it all for your good?" ”

Seeing that someone was helping, Liu felt that he had not spoken, and that he was too faceless, so he straightened his chest and said, "Muxiang, didn't you hear?" You are unfilial, she is your mother, if you want to beat her, you will be struck by lightning! ”

Mu Xiang's gaze swept over the few people who spoke, like a cold wind blowing. She sneered, "With her ghostly appearance, she is still worthy of being my mother?" You really like to open your eyes and talk nonsense, there are some things that I have already said, if you can't remember them, then I'll say it again, one last time," she paused, her eyes fixed on Chen Mei'e, and her body was closer to her, "My own mother died a long time ago, and she was buried in the cemetery at the entrance of the village, if you want to be my mother, I can bury you in it, what's the matter?" Do you still want to be my mother? ”

Chen Mei'e shuddered, she could see that Mu Xiang's words were not joking, that look really wanted to kill!

She's finally smarter.

Mu Xiang's eyes just now were the expressions she had when she was a killer in her previous life, facing a dying person. In the face of a dying person, there is no need for any emotion in his eyes, just to end the other person's life. Killing someone, how simple it is, letting a person die, it's even simpler.

Chen Mei'e took several steps back, shook her head desperately, even threw away the soles of her shoes, and ran home in a panic.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Liu Shi was standing in the wrong position, he didn't see it, and he didn't hear what Mu Xiang said to Chen Mei'e. When Chen Mei'e turned around, she saw that Chen Mei'e's face was as white as a ghost.

Liu Shi was not at ease and chased after him.

Huang felt that the atmosphere was wrong, how dare he squeak. The second daughter-in-law was standing not far behind Chen Mei'e, Mu Xiang's eyes were blocked by Chen Mei'e, but she heard what Mu Xiang said to Chen Mei'e. scared her, her heart was cold, her heart was cold.

These people were all scared like this, and the other villagers didn't dare to squeak.

Mu Xiang turned around with satisfaction, walked back to Caiyun and Mu Lang, her big bright eyes, and turned around Shao Biao'er and her mother-in-law beside her, "Now it's time to talk about us, little girl, didn't you say that my sister stole your money?" What about the evidence? Which eye do you see? ”

Shao Qing'er is still young after all, she saw Mu Xiang's methods of dealing with those mothers-in-law just now, and now she sees her facing herself, if you want to say that you are not afraid, it is fake. But when I think of my identity, my confidence returns. took a deep breath and roared arrogantly: "She stole it, and Mother Wu saw it, can this be fake?" I have two pieces of silver, can a poor man like her have that silver? She just took the money out, I saw it all, I don't believe you searched her! ”

Caiyun's eyes were still red, and when she heard Shao Qing'er pointing at herself, she said something clear-eyed, as if something was really going on, how could she still bear it, and stomped her feet angrily, "You are still talking nonsense, my money was given by my eldest sister, and I used my own money to buy things for my younger brother, what does it matter to you?" If you lose your money, you will lie to others indiscriminately, and you will be unreasonable! ”

"You dare to scold me?" Shao Qinger has been spoiled since she was a child, and finally went out of the house to play at a relative's house in Yuhe Village, but she didn't expect to be scolded by a poor girl, so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and rushed up to beat someone.

Mu Xiang lightly grabbed her thin arm, half-lifted her, looked cold, and said, "I warn you, if you dare to do it indiscriminately, I will tie you up, and I will tie you to this tree!" ”

The mother-in-law next to Shao Qing'er saw that Shao Qing'er was arrested, she cried and wiped her tears in fright, and she was about to rush up regardless of it, "You wild girl, let go of my young lady, let go!" ”

Mu Xiang smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll let go, you made me loose!" ”

She suddenly opened her palm, and because of the height of her carrying, Shao Qing'er's feet were out of place. As soon as Mu Xiang let go, she fell to the ground and fell to the ground.

"Miss, are you alright, get up quickly," Wu's mother pounced on her and tried to pull her up.

"Don't worry about it," Shao Qing'er shook off Wu's mother's hand, got up by herself, and glared at Mu Xiang angrily, "Do you know who I am?" If you dare to drop me, I will let my eldest cousin tear up your house tomorrow and ask him to bring someone to kill you! ”

Mu Xiang sneered, "Is your eldest cousin a mad dog?" I will wait at home, and I will not go anywhere, and I will not believe it, in this world, there is no justice, you stand still, and explain the matter of the silver clearly, if you don't make it clear, you are not allowed to go anywhere! ”

Shao Qing'er was frightened by her momentum, and really stood there and didn't dare to move again, after all, compared to Mu Xiang, she was a little more tender.

Mu Xiang continued to take a step closer to her, "I'll ask you again carefully, what's going on, start from the beginning, explain it to me well, be loud, don't look like you haven't eaten enough!" ”

Forced to this, Shao Qing'er had to roughly explain what happened, anyway, she felt that she was justified, the silver must have been stolen by Caiyun, and she never doubted this.

Caiyun did take Mu Lang and went out to fish and shrimp. The two of them walked all the way, picking shrimp all the way, and before they knew it, they passed in the direction of the entrance of the village.

At this time, the merchant and I were walking into their village with a load in my hand, still holding a rattle, shouting as we went. attracted a group of little babies to surround him, and some adults also walked over.

It's a little baby, and she can't stand the shouting of the seller. Caiyun looked at the things in the seller's burden from a distance, and he was also itchy. Mu Lang couldn't wait to run over to take a look.

Caiyun remembered the money Mu Xiang gave her, which she didn't bring with her originally, and had been resting in a piece of clothing, but it happened that she put her clothes out today and forgot to change them. She remembered that her eldest sister had told her that she could use the money to buy things. Although she was also a little reluctant, she nodded in agreement when she looked at Mu Lang's eager appearance.

The two of them carried shrimp nets and buckets to the entrance of the village.

The vendors are all from nearby villages, and when the farmers are not working, they go to the town to buy some small things, carry them around, and put them wherever they go. Because they weren't sure when they would come back, business was good, and the women liked to buy some needles and threads. The little babies like to buy candy or delicate gadgets, and the younger girls prefer to buy some accessories that can dress up themselves.

When the two of them squeezed up, Shao Qinger and Wu's mother were standing in front of the seller, and they had already escaped with a chic little hairpin, which was carved out of ordinary wood.

Because of the large number of people, Caiyun pulled Mu Lang, and he didn't stand firm for a while, so he threw himself on Shao Qing'er, but fortunately, Wu Ma stood behind Shao Qing'er. Caiyun pounced on Shao Qing'er, and Shao Qing'er fell on Wu's mother, and both of them pressed Wu's mother to the ground.

In a panic, Caiyun wanted to stand up, Shao Qing'er was angry and wanted to push her, and the two pushed and shoved, very wolf.

After getting up, Caiyun also apologized to her, but Shao Qing'er didn't listen, touched her purse, and said that her silver was gone. Caiyun didn't want to entangle with her, so he pulled Mu Lang to pick something, and naturally paid for it after picking it. It just so happened that what she had in her hand was also two coins of silver, which was exactly the same amount as the amount of silver Shao Qing'er lost. So, there was a scene that Mu Xiang saw when he just came over.

Of course, from Shao Qing'er's mouth alone, you can't hear these words. After Mu Xiang asked her, she went to ask Caiyun again, and only then did she understand what happened.

After finishing speaking, Shao Qing'er realized more and more that she was reasonable, and proudly picked her chin, "What, can't speak?" I already knew that a poor person like you had never seen a lot of money, and when he saw that someone else was rich, he naturally couldn't help but reach out and steal it, it's nothing, you return the silver to me, and let her kowtow to me three times, forget it, I won't pursue it, otherwise, I will send you to prison! The person she was referring to who was going to kowtow to her was naturally Caiyun.

A chill surged up in Mu Xiang's eyes, no matter whether Caiyun had done it or not, she would not let Caiyun kowtow to others. What is that? If you are an individual, you have to have dignity, if you don't have dignity to live, is there still a need to live?

After the extreme anger, Mu Xiang quickly calmed down, still maintaining a faint smile on her face, "Finished?" ”

Shao Qing'er didn't expect her to react like this at all, and she was a little at a loss for a while, "Yes...... I'm done, you tell her to apologize! ”

Mu Xiang's body leaned back slightly, and her chin was raised, asking her to add a touch of unruly color, it seemed that there was a little ruffian, "You are done, then it is time for me to say, little girl, you keep saying that my sister stole your money, and keep saying that we are poor, and it is impossible to have spare money to come out and sell things, but I just want to sue you, my sister's money was not given to her by me, let alone stolen, it was obtained by herself every day early and greedy for darkness, and ran to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums in exchange, that is her hard-earned money, in contrast, Your money is just given by your parents, you should be glad that you were born in a rich family, otherwise you may not know how miserable you are now! ”

She said in a hurry, not giving Shao Qing'er time to refute, "You didn't see my sister stealing your money with your own eyes, but you saw that she took out the money, and said that she stole it, then I want to ask, if I take out five taels of silver now, do you also think that I stole you?" ”

Mu Xiang really reached out and took it out, if she didn't usually go out, she didn't have silver on her body, and if she left somewhere, she wouldn't vomit to death. The reason why I went out with the money today was to go to Zhonglin Changshui to settle accounts, and I had to pay off the balance.

Shao Qing'er saw the ingot of silver in her palm, and her little face turned white instantly.

After Mu Xiang showed the silver for a while, she quickly took it away, and she understood the truth that wealth is not exposed. There are no adult men in her family, and they are most likely to be targeted by thieves. It's about to be closed in recent years, and thieves are also engaged in New Year's goods.

"Now what else do you have to say? Are you going to think that someone else stole your money because my sister fell on you, and you lost your own money? To put it strictly, you are fraud, I can go to the government to sue you! Mu Xiang's words did not show her any mercy, for a young lady like her, you have to be more proud than her.

Shao Qing'er's little face turned red, and she stared at the ground in front of her at a loss, but she didn't dare to look at Mu Xiang. After a while, he said: "I, I don't care, anyway, I lost my silver, even if she didn't steal it, it was one of you." ”

Mu Xiang shook her head funny, does this little girl have a brain!

"You lost your money, why don't you ask the mother-in-law behind you, she also followed you all the way, and she was there when she wrestled, right? If your silver falls off your body, you haven't thought about it, or maybe she picked it up and didn't return it to you? ”

As soon as Mu Xiang finished speaking, Shao Qing'er didn't squeak yet, but Wu Ma couldn't hold her breath, and said angrily: "This girl, you can't spew blood, I am a descendant of the Shao family, how can I go to steal the things of the master's family, you want to deny it, miss, don't follow her way, I think she just has bad intentions and wants to provoke our relationship!" ”

Shao Qing'er was completely stunned, how could she know what to say. Originally, she thought it was a simple thing, but in the end, why was it so complicated?

Mu Xiang saw that Wu's mother was yelling to argue for herself, and she had already guessed the general situation of the matter. Then, his eyes turned around Wu Ma again. found that Mother Wu was clenched tightly with her right hand from beginning to end, and only her left hand was holding Shao Qing'er.

Mu Xiang smiled slightly, suddenly approached Wu's mother, and before Wu's mother came back to her senses, she grabbed her wrist and pinched it gently-
