Ren Xiaoxiao was pointing at the construction site not far east of the village. This is the location chosen by her family's craftsmen, the water flow is suitable, the distance is convenient, as long as the scale is expanded a little more, and the road surface is hardened, it is a dock that can be used immediately.

However, the Ren family not only wants to build a simple wharf, but also a number of warehouses and workshops, so Ren Xiaoxiao must have the land of Wu Xiaomei's house. Because the planned pier covers that place.

Hearing the sound coming from the entrance of the village, Ren Xiaoxiao turned her head to look, Wu Xiaomei's house in the distance was very noisy, and she immediately rushed over with Xiao Tao. This place has no room for problems.

Qin Muzheng hugged Wu Xiaomei's body with one hand and pinched the little girl's middle with the other.

"Qin Mu, what are you doing!" Ren Xiaoxiao broke off.

Qin Mutou didn't reply: "Save people." ”

Xiao Tao squeezed over, saw the situation clearly, and immediately helped Qin Mu hug Wu Xiaomei's head, so that Qin Mu could exert himself.

Steward Wu quietly told Ren Xiaoxiao what happened one by one.

Ren Xiaoxiao glanced at Daddy Wu on the bed, and then at Little Sister Wu, but didn't speak, just nodded slightly, signaling that she knew.

I never thought that there would be a fatality. Although it seems that Daddy Wu is like this, even if he doesn't force him, he won't be alive for a few days, but after all, he died suddenly when Steward Wu came to ask for money, and it would be a bit too much to say that the Wu family had no responsibility at all. The affairs of the dock cannot be delayed, but what about the things in front of us?

Wu Xiaomei woke up slowly. She was stunned for a moment, and for a while she didn't understand where she was, how could she lie in the arms of this Wu family. Suddenly, I remembered that my father was dead, and I suddenly felt sad and cried again.

It's been so hard for her all these years. At the beginning of such a small child, seeing her family lose little by little, her father's illness became more and more serious, and she had to force her face to smile every day, not wanting her father to see her difficulties. The work in the field, the work in the garden, and the work at home are all supported by her little woman, and she can only cry silently alone in the middle of the night, and she doesn't dare to make a sound, for fear that her father will hear it.

Wu Xiaomei has no other ideas, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future, she just begs her father to live a few more years, and she will live like this. But this little wish was shattered.

Daddy said he would leave, leaving her alone in this world. In addition to suffering in the past ten years, Wu Xiaomei has no happiness at all, she doesn't know what the meaning of her life is, and she suddenly howls to find scissors. She really didn't want to live.

Qin Mu had already thrown the scissors far away, seeing her so desperate for life, he hugged her tightly and said, "Little lady Wu, although the person is gone, there are still many things to do as a child." I have to bury Daddy Wu. You can't let the old man go uneasy. ”

The words were like a gust of wind, blowing Wu Xiaomei awake. Yes, Daddy hasn't been buried yet, so how can he die.

She wiped her tears, got up from Qin Mu's arms, silently walked to her father's body, and carefully sorted out Daddy Wu.

The atmosphere in the room was very awkward.

Ren Xiaoxiao glanced at Steward Wu, who understood and said slowly: "Little lady Wu, death is great, and going to the ground is safe." Don't mention anything else, but Daddy Wu has to be buried, and you don't have any relatives in the village, so let's see if the big guy can help you and handle this future life properly. ”

Wu Xiaomei's emotions were agitated, but her mind had calmed down. Although the death of my father today was caused by the Wu family's urging for money, Father Wu had already collapsed, and even if there was no such thing, it would only be three or five days. It doesn't make much sense to insist that the Wu family killed his father.

But Wu Xiaomei didn't know who else she could rely on. Who allowed herself to get to such a point? She was confused in her heart, and she couldn't think about it at all. But you can think about these things slowly, and there are still big things to do at the moment.

Daddy can't lie in bed like this all the time, he has to buy a coffin for burial. Buying a coffin is a must, but what about the money? She had swept all the corners, and there were only fifty big dollars. Don't even think about a coffin like paulownia and pine, only the cheapest poplar coffin costs 500 yuan.

Where did Wu Xiaomei find these five hundred texts? What's more, it's not enough to have a coffin, there must also be a cemetery. What her family can sell has already been sold, where is there a cemetery. There is no cemetery, where is Daddy buried? There is a public cemetery in Zhuangzi, but it will not be used in vain, and it will cost money to buy, and the worst piece of land will also cost 500 wen. It's always a lot of money.

The rest of the people who buy longevity clothes, ask for helpers, carry coffins and dig graves, all have to pay!

Where is the money?

Wu Xiaomei was completely helpless.

Steward Wu understood the difficulties faced by Wu Xiaomei, smiled in his heart, and was about to speak, but Ren Xiaoxiao opened his mouth first: "Sister Wu family, the slave family is newly married to the village, and the name is changed to Ren Xiaoxiao. Since Father Wu died in front of the slave family, the slave family could not ignore it. Coffin cemetery funeral, and other troubles, sister, I will pay for it first, three times the money, do you see if it is enough. Not enough to add more. ”

Wu Xiaomei was a little surprised. She knew that Ren Xiaoxiao was the daughter-in-law of the owner of Wu Zhuang, and she killed the whole family before she passed the door, so she had a good impression of Ren Xiaoxiao in her heart. After all, it is not Ren Xiaoxiao who has been bullying her family, it is the owner of Wu Zhuang. She herself couldn't resist herself, but she didn't want a hero to appear all the time and beat up the owner of Wu Zhuang's family.

Although the owner of Wu Zhuang died at the hands of Wu Qiang, the Zhuang family preferred to spread strange news. What is the excitement of Wu Qiang killing the owner of Wu Zhuang, a young and beautiful lady like Ren Xiaoxiao is hot enough to kill the owner of Wu Zhuang's family.

Wu Xiaomei has been living in hiding from the people in the village, for fear of causing trouble, so she didn't know the truth at all, but she only heard that Ren Xiaoniang killed her husband's whole family, which was not enough to relieve her anger, so she set a fire and burned most of the Wu family's compound. So Wu Xiaomei admires the little lady Ren who has never met! It's so powerful, I did what I wanted to do for many years in just one night.

Because of this reason, Wu Xiaomei did not resist Ren Xiaoxiao, but was too surprised by the number she proposed. Three times the money is enough to buy a willow coffin for my father and find a good cemetery. It's just that with so much money, will Ren Xiaoniang really lend it to herself? Even if you really lend it to yourself, what will you pay back? Does she still want her own piece of land?

But my father is newly mourned, and my only thought is this yard and this house. If you don't have this home, how can you live?

Wu Xiaomei was completely lost.

"Little lady Wu, don't worry. You don't have to pay back this money, I'll pay it back. "Qin Mu really can't stand it. He completely understood what Ren Xiaoxiao meant. The docks needed the land, and she had to get it anyway. But he also understands Wu Xiaomei's mood and how reluctant he is to this family.

If Wu Xiaomei takes Ren Xiaoxiao's money, this land will inevitably be unkept, but if she doesn't accept it, won't her father be able to enter the soil? Qin Mu has too many feelings than ordinary people because of his forty-year-old spell, life is already so difficult, he is willing to do anything, as long as he can make life more beautiful, even if it is just a little bit.

"Brother Qin, how can you have so much money." Xiao Tao was in a hurry. Three yuan is 3,000 yuan, Qin Mu's income is only 10,000 yuan a day, and 3,000 yuan wants him to work for 300 days without eating or drinking! What's more, it's for Wu Xiaomei, who has no relatives and no reason, if Wu Xiaomei is stupid and ugly, it's okay, but even a patched dress can't hide her beauty. Xiao Tao was naturally unwilling.

"I advance my wages. Sanguan, Ren Qi Niangzi, do you think it's okay? ”

Ren Xiaoxiao was thinking quickly in her head. If Qin Mu lent her money, don't think about this land, but Qin Mu couldn't run away for a long time. Whether to ask for land or people, she made a decision in a moment. Without this piece of land, the wharf can be expanded in another direction, anyway, it is the land of the Wu family, just a little more cost.

And if Qin Mu runs away, it will be too much of a threat to himself, so it is better to stay by his side.

"Okay, that's a deal. Sanguan, Xiao Tao will give it to the sister of the Wu family. ”

The money was no more than Qin Mu's hand, and it was stuffed into Wu Xiaomei's hand. Three pieces of money are three taels of silver, and the silver of the Ren family is all official silver, and one or two children are not deceived. With three taels of silver in her hand, Wu Xiaomei was like a dream.

Ren Xiaoxiao said: "Sister Wu family, mourn, sister said goodbye first." As he spoke, he instructed Steward Wu, "You stay and help my sister with her errands." ”

"You come with me." She pointed at Qin Mu and walked away first.

Qin Mu shook his head, sighed secretly, and whispered to Wu Xiaomei: "Take care of Daddy's funeral with peace of mind." Life will always get better, definitely! Then followed Ren Xiaoxiao out of the door.

Back at the construction site, Ren Xiaoxiao called the head of the craftsman and ordered Wu Xiaomei's land to be zoned out and the dock was re-planned. The head craftsman only works, of course, the master says whatever he wants, and if she wants to spend more money, she will go with her. But it takes a little more time, and it takes more materials.

Seeing that everyone continued to get busy, Ren Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say to Qin Mu: "Qin Mu, three thousand texts, that is, three hundred days, today is the fourth day of the fifth month, I will do the math." As she spoke, she stretched out her white and slender fingers, pinched her fingers, and muttered for a moment, saying, "It will not be until April 28 next year that it will be 300 days." You're going to have to memorize it. Until April 28 next year, they will all be my family members, and they will not be allowed to go anywhere. ”

Qin Mu didn't have the heart to think about this at all, his mind was full of the scene just now. He nodded subconsciously.

Ren Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. There is a leap August this year, which is equivalent to an extra month out of thin air, and she filled in a few more days, and it was calculated that Qin Mu would have to work for him for nearly a year before it was over. made a big profit, and the seventh lady was in a good mood and ordered: "Go home and eat and drink." ”
