Chapter 26: The Orchard
"I ......" Zhou Bilian was stunned by her momentum, and she didn't know what to refute for a while.
"The second slap is to beat you without knowing the number of etiquette, I am your eldest sister, but you call me a dead woman, my mother spent so much money on you to make you vulgar and unreasonable?"
Zhou Xinzhi was not very angry, but this woman not only did not restrain herself, but also intensified.
"It's you who are not in order, why do you blame me? Are you going to say that you didn't come to Mr. Wei's yard at all? Zhou Bilian is still resisting, although she also knows that this matter is her unreasonable and deliberately looking for trouble, but she just can't get used to it.
"I'm not careful? You obviously know the importance of Qingyu to women, and you want to frame you so ruthlessly, what kind of heart do you have? Zhou Xinzhi closed her eyes angrily, it seemed that she took a step back, and the other party had to move even more, "If you dare, go and call Mr. Wei out to confront each other and confirm that I have a relationship with Mr. Wei?" ”
"No need, Mrs. Du is broad-minded and cares about Wei's reputation, but she just wants to borrow a book, and she doesn't bother much, and she doesn't know where the slanderous words in Miss Zhou's mouth come from."
Wei Qingsui stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Zhou Bilian with unkind eyes.
Unexpectedly, this woman not only had a heart of repentance, but also slandered her eldest sister like this, in the end, she was spoiled, not only did she not pay attention to the rules, but even her mind was very vicious.
Mr. Wei...... I'm not ......" Zhou Bilian saw that Wei Qing came out, her face was as white as paper, and she muttered to defend herself.
"Miss Zhou doesn't need to say much, Wei didn't see Mrs. Du's misdeeds, but Miss Zhou broke into my courtyard regardless of etiquette, and she couldn't read big characters, but she wanted to borrow books."
If you want to talk about poisonous tongue, Zhou Xinzhi is really the first time to meet Wei Qingsui like this, and she is ruthless!
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have liked to give it a thumbs up.
Zhou Bilian looked at Wei Qingsui blankly, Dong Shi Xiaofeng? What is the meaning?
"Poof!" Zhou Xinzhi really couldn't help it, although the current situation was not suitable for speaking rashly, but Zhou Bilian, this woman was really interesting, and she didn't even know what Dong Shi Xiaofeng meant.
Wei Qing's eyes were full of disdain, he really played the piano to the cow.
"That's all, Miss Zhou can do it herself." Flicking his sleeves, Wei Qing returned to the courtyard angrily.
"Husband, after the excitement is over, we should also go, we can't waste time for irrelevant people." Zhou Xinzhi just glanced at Zhou Bilian for a moment and was about to leave, and at the end, she didn't forget the 'kindness' reminder, "If you see me in the future, it's best not to bump into me, if I'm unhappy, it may not be light or heavy." ”
"Miss Zhou, I will not pursue this matter because you are my lady's sister, but if you slander my lady like this in the future, I will never just forget it." Du Lisheng looked at her with a deep gaze, and there seemed to be some murderous aura in his gaze.
Zhou Xinzhi grabbed Du Lisheng, hooked the corners of her lips at the woman on the ground and left.
Leaving Zhou Bilian alone like a clown jumping off a beam, she stayed in place.
"The second girl of the family is really dishonest this week, I heard that she and her sister quarreled here, and she also slandered others to seduce Mr. Wei, but today, it doesn't look like that."
Small muttering began to be heard around as well.
Speaking of which, many people in this village are dissatisfied with Zhang Juhua and Zhou Bilian, a mother and daughter, but their own daughter is more beautiful, and her eyes are on the top of her head, and she looks at no one with disdain, but now she has a heel.
"Who knows, the daughter-in-law of the Du family is bright and upright, but these two girls are dressed up every day and run here, I really can't tell who is not pure-minded here."
"That's right."
You look at me and say a word, Zhou Bilian listened to their discussions, she hated them in her heart, she got up and ran back home, as for these two slaps, she would definitely return them to the woman intact!
Walking out of the distance, Zhou Xinzhi was still rubbing her wrist that was a little sore, "I don't know if this woman's skin is made of stone, so thick!" She muttered unhappily, blaming the original owner's body for being too weak, but after two slaps, it hurt very much.
"Is the lady still angry?" Du Lisheng rubbed her little red hands for her, and he was even more disliked for Zhou Bilian in his heart.
Anyway, they are sisters, how can they talk nonsense and slander their sister in front of everyone?
It was even said that it was about such a big thing as the woman's reputation, but fortunately it did not alarm the village chief, otherwise this matter would have made a big fuss.
"It's definitely impossible to say that I'm not angry, but I just think I can't save face for them." Zhou Xinzhi said with a dark face, "I thought that if I didn't deliberately cause trouble, they wouldn't be able to rush to find death, but I really underestimated them, I gave them too much face." ”
After speaking, she shook her head and sighed, what should she say about Zhou Bilian's behavior?
"It's in front of the Foggy Mountains, I'll go to the orchard and take a look, and when you go down the mountain, go over there to find me." Zhou Xinzhi pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away, and there was an orchard around it, and a walk to the left from here was where Du Lisheng was going.
"Okay, be careful yourself." Du Lisheng is actually a little worried, but the time is not early, and he can't take the little lady to run for nothing.
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, and then walked towards the orchard.
The sun after noon became hotter and hotter, as if everything was about to be roasted, and when Zhou Xinzhi walked by the roadside, he could still hear people complaining in the heavens and the earth.
"God really doesn't give people a way to live, if it doesn't rain again, it is estimated that this year will be over again." The man had been sitting on the side and lamenting.
Zhou Xinzhi glanced up, indeed, there was no trend of rain at all in this weather.
Not to mention crops, even grass may not be able to grow, and it is also bitter.
Pushing open the wooden door of the orchard, she looked at some wilting fruit trees in the courtyard, and it was really sad.
"And there's a hut here?" Zhou Xinzhi looked at the thatched house in the corner with some surprise, and walked in quickly, the furnishings in the house couldn't be simpler, except for putting some tools for plowing, it was a small place to rest, it should be a place for Aunt Wang to rest temporarily when she was tired.
"Xiao Tongzi, take out the fertilizer I asked for before, and also, do you provide freshly squeezed juice here? Preferably ice. Zhou Xinzhi said weakly, this body is really delicate, and she can't stand a little heat.
"Ding, the fertilizer is delivered to you, and the chilled juice system can't prepare it for you."
"Well, I knew that it was a luxury to want to drink a little ice in the summer." A hint of disappointment flashed in Xinzhi's eyes this week, but fortunately, at least she was enjoying pure nature now.
"Do you have any other commands?"
"Stand down, I'm going to get busy." She looked at the extra fertilizer in the house, she just tried it, that is, a dead horse became a live horse doctor, and there was no harm anyway.
Zhou Xinzhi carried an iron pickaxe to the fruit tree, and she was really not very familiar with farming, but she had also seen how others farmed, and began to shovel the ground with an iron pickaxe.
She dug some deep pits at the roots of the trees, but the further down she dug, the more pleasantly surprised she became.
"There's a real mystery down there." Zhou Xinzhi twisted the soil under the roots of the tree, and it was still a little wet, although the land outside was a little dry, but the inside was not dry at all.
Now she is even more energetic, digging several pits in a row, and sprinkling the prepared fertilizer into them, she didn't sprinkle too much, to see if she can save a little bit this time, there are still water stains in the land, and there is no big problem without watering for the time being.
"Huh~" Zhou Xinzhi sat down under the tree so tired that she picked a fruit casually, and it was roasted for a day, and her bite was full of heat, "I really miss life with air conditioning and refrigerators." ”
I pouted helplessly, but I couldn't help it, now I want to eat a fruit that is hot.
"You said that you just grew small, and you breathed so much heat that you didn't have the ability to quench your thirst." He sighed and gnawed the fruit in his hand, and then buried it under the roots, which is also a nutrient that the fruit tree can absorb.
She was sighing, and there was a commotion at the door, and she followed the sound vigilantly, and saw Du Lisheng, who was slightly inconvenient to move outside.
"Lady's side is done?" He forcibly opened the small door and walked in, but the things in her hand made Zhou Xinzhi's eyes light up.
"It's over, but ...... How do you go up the mountain to find a prey, and get a deer back? ”
Looking at the wild deer in front of her, Zhou Xinzhi somehow thought of the scene of the Jia family roasting venison together in the dream of Red Mansions.
subconsciously licked her lips, but she didn't notice that Du Lisheng on the side was dry by her small action, and his heart was in a mess.
"Ahem, I just went up the mountain to check the trap, and I saw this little thing, and I thought about bringing it back to stew a soup for you or something." Du Lisheng looked at the little lady with amusement.
The light in his eyes could not be hidden, as if what he was holding in his hand was not venison at all, but something else.
"Don't don't, it's too wasteful to drink stewed soup, why don't I take you to eat it in a more special way?" Zhou Xinzhi is simply greedy, she hasn't tasted barbecue for a long time, and it just so happens that there is a chance today, so it is better to try it.
"Little Tongzi!" Zhou Xinzhi couldn't wait to shout the system in his mind, "Quick, I want to exchange some charcoal." ”
"Ding, the charcoal is redeemed, and the 5F value is consumed, does the owner need it now?"
"Yes, yes, just send it to the hut just now, and I'll get it later." Zhou Xinzhi explained the system, and then walked to Du Lisheng's side, "I'll roast it for you to eat, it just so happened that I found a charcoal fire in this hut, you can try it." ”
Zhou Xinzhi pulled the corner of his coat and walked towards the hut, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the small pile of charcoal.
She pinched it casually and checked, although this charcoal is not a high-quality product, but it is good to have it now, so she will not pick it.
"Okay, you can eat whatever the lady says, but don't eat too much spicy food." Du Lisheng rubbed her head dotingly.
