Chapter 153: On the cusp

In this way, there were only two people left in the field, Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang, nearly 20 acres of land, and the two of them worked all day, during which there was almost no rest except for eating, before they watered this piece of soil thoroughly. Ye Xiaoyu has never been so tired as she is today, and after finishing, as soon as she stopped, she sat on the ridge and couldn't stand up at all.

In the summer night, although it became cooler, the number of mosquitoes in the field was simply scary, even if Ye Xiaoyu was wearing long sleeves and long pants, she was still bitten several large bags.

Maybe she felt that Ye Xiaoyu's body was overdrawn, and Qinglang didn't urge her to go home, but also sat silently on the ridge, looking ahead, not knowing what he was thinking, it was already dark, and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't see his expression clearly.

The moon at the beginning of the month is not too round, like a shy girl, half of her face is hidden in the clouds. The two of them sat quietly on the ridge under the moon, thinking about things separately.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed to be silent like this, anyway, Qinglang usually couldn't squeeze out a few words, such a quiet atmosphere might be what he wanted. I don't know why, if it was with Ling Yu, Ye Xiaoyu might take the initiative to find some topics taking into account his feelings, but for Qinglang, she never thought of taking care of his feelings, the reason why she had such an idea, Ye Xiaoyu thought about it, it should be because of Qinglang's expressionless and cold face.

Sometimes Ye Xiaoyu also feels strange, Qinglang is thirteen years old, and in the Zhuang family, he is already a strong man who can work in the field, but no one in Lu Meijiao's husband's family has never come to mention the matter of letting Qinglang go back. Needless to say, Ye Xiaoyu has been in Lujiazhuang for so long, and even Qinglang's father has never seen any of them. Usually in Lujiazhuang, in the mouths of those gossipy old mothers, except for the speculation about the disappearance of Qinglang's father, no one has ever mentioned other things about his family, it seems to be a minefield.

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu was a little curious, especially now, when he was sitting here alone with Qinglang. She really wanted to ask him. And his surname is "Qing", this surname is too rare, right?

However, no matter how curious Ye Xiaoyu is, she also knows how to grasp the problem "moderately", not to mention that she and Qinglang are not so familiar, even if they are very familiar with each other. This is a matter of personal privacy. No matter how curious you are, it's not suitable for talking.

I sat there for a long time. It wasn't until Ye Xiaoyu was bitten by the mosquitoes around her that she couldn't stand it, so she got up and urged Qinglang to go home.

When Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang returned to Lujiazhuang in the moonlight. Lu Yishou didn't come back, but just called Datian back and told Jiang Ping that he couldn't come back in time and would stay in the capital for the night.

When Datian came out of the main house in Beiyuan, he happened to meet Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang who came back from the field, and when he saw Datian, Ye Xiaoyu chatted with him casually, and sure enough, Lu Yishou's trip to the capital today was not too smooth.

After Lu Yishou arrived in the capital, he first went to find the shopkeeper Liu, and told him about the situation in the field and his plans, after hearing this, although his face was embarrassed, but after all, he was a businessman, and he didn't say anything on his face, just asked Lu Yishou to take a break, but he sent the clerk to invite the 5 customers to come over, something like this happened, it was related to their business and business situation, and they had to be more cautious.

Later, in the specific negotiation process of Yuling Cloth Workshop, Ye Xiaoyu did not ask in detail, in fact, he knew that the Lu family could not deliver the goods on time, and the negotiation process must be extremely difficult. However, after talking for a whole day, plus the shopkeeper Liu helped to intercede next to him, those patrons agreed not to terminate the contract for the time being, but there is only one chance, if such a thing happens to the Lu family next time, then there is no need to leave any more leeway, even if the shopkeeper Liu comes forward, it is meaningless, and everything is done according to the agreement in the contract. However, as a premise for not terminating the contract for the time being, Lujia needs to pay compensation twice the amount of compensation agreed by the two parties.

After the negotiation, it was past dinner time, Lu Yishou in order to thank those people for giving the Lu family a chance, and then feasted these people in the best restaurant in the capital, Yuxuan Building, Lu Yishou originally thought that his amount of wine was good enough, even if he drank wine, he should be able to return to Quanxiu Village on time, who thought that those people were all "not drunk in a thousand cups", and took turns to drink with Lu Yishou, after a meal, Lu Yishou vomited more than a dozen times, after the last time he vomited, taking advantage of the residual consciousness, he quickly called Datian to come back and report safety, and then go to the restaurant in Yuejing to pick him up and send him to the inn.

"Miss Ye, Young Master Qing, the old man is fine, but he is a little drunk, I have to rush to the capital immediately, otherwise it is very unsafe for the master to get drunk over there alone......"

As he spoke, Datian hurried out of the gate of the house, mounted the horse parked at the door, and galloped towards the outside of the village.

"Am I particularly self-conscious?"

Looking at Datian's back, Ye Xiaoyu's voice trembled a little.

In fact, she knew that Qinglang would not answer her own questions, and Ye Xiaoyu's words were not completely asking Qinglang, but more questioning herself.

Maybe it was because the previous things were too smooth, so she mistakenly thought that she could carve out her own sky in this strange time and space with her own thoughts and her own strength, until this incident happened, until today, Lu Yishou encountered such a difficult negotiation in the capital, and the ambitions of the past flashed in Ye Xiaoyu's mind, perhaps, she was not a big thing at all? Perhaps, he should share the handkerchiefs that guard Liu's shopkeeper, earn some fixed wages every month, and then wait for a year or two to marry a husband casually, and then have one or two more children, so as to live a mediocre and boring life?

However, if this is the case, then what is the point of her escaping the dead and coming here? If this is the case, then Ye Xiaoyu feels that it is better to drown in the river that day, at least before he died, he was still a middle-level white-collar worker with a successful career.

"Don't think about it, it's none of your business."

Unexpectedly, such a sentence came out of the sunny day around him, no matter how simple it was, it couldn't be said to be enlightening, and it wasn't even polite comfort, but at this time, Ye Xiaoyu felt inexplicably relieved.

Maybe someone like her, who is often in love, should have an unusually calm partner like this.

Half of the crops in the Lujia field died overnight, and within two days, from Lujiazhuang to Quanxiu Village, they all knew, before those who watched the Lu family make money, not to mention how happy they were at this time, not only happy, but also said cool words everywhere, saying that this is the present world newspaper that does not keep their duty, the Zhuang family should guard their land well, but the Lu family wants to engage in a big vegetable garden, this is good, offend God, let the vegetables in the field all die overnight, right?

Some superstitious people even specially invited the goddess of the village to dance the great god to do it, because they were afraid that some crops in their fields would be implicated. For a while, whenever I walked in the village, I could hear people talking about the Lu family in twos and threes.

The Lu family was on the cusp, and Ye Xiaoyu's life was not much better, because Lu Yishou had changed the manager of the land in Yinpan from Lao Wu to her, a girl in charge of such a large piece of land had already been criticized by many conservative families in the village, but because of Shun Li, there was no accident, even if those people didn't like it, they couldn't say a flower. But now, such a thing has happened, not to mention walking in the village, even in Lujiazhuang, Ye Xiaoyu can feel the pointing behind him.

You don't need to listen to Ye Xiaoyu to guess the content of the gossip, it basically says that Ye Xiaoyu is not self-sufficient, girls don't know how to keep their duties, no wonder they will kill their parents, the more they spread, the more ugly they become, you know, in this era, if a person is said to be killed by his parents, it is a lifetime of black history, and it is difficult to marry.

Even if Ye Xiaoyu feels that it doesn't matter in her heart, she is said like this by others all the time every day, and it is difficult not to be annoyed.

Hong'er and Liu Mei'er naturally heard such rumors, although they knew that Ye Xiaoyu was not such an easy person to be defeated, but the gossip was too ugly to hear, so people had to worry.

Especially Liu Meier, she can hear many people in the village talking about this and Ye Xiaoyu on the way home every day. And although her uncle's family didn't say anything on the surface, as soon as her aunt saw her, she asked about the Lu family's situation, even if it was purely out of gossip, it was also very annoying. Fortunately, Liu Meier has been paid for several months, in addition to subsidizing her uncle's family, she also has some savings, and the time she spends at home is short, so she doesn't have to care about the faces of those people.

Hong'er is not much better, although she is in Lujiazhuang every day, but the helpers who come and go in the village, and the old mothers who cook, as soon as they are free, they pull the little girl who passed by and start asking about Ye Xiaoyu's situation. There is chatter about their own young lady everywhere, there are many of them, and they can't talk about it, Hong'er feels that if this continues, even if Ye Xiaoyu is fine, she will collapse.

On the fifth day of the incident, the Lu family had retreated on the cusp of the storm, all the topics in Quanxiu Village pointed to Ye Xiaoyu, and almost all of them blamed Ye Xiaoyu for not keeping her duty and not doing her best, and some people even said that she was a lone star, and after killing her parents, she came to harm the Lu family.

The most ridiculous thing is that some villagers want to launch a petition to Lizheng Liu Shangzhong, asking the Lu family to expel Ye Xiaoyu from Quanxiu Village, so that Ye Xiaoyu's disaster will not affect other villagers in the village.

Although he was "pointed out by thousands of people", these days, Ye Xiaoyu has not been idle because of this. (To be continued......)
