Chapter 5 Hidden Feelings
Zhang Mazi: This will be a shame and a big loss, and next time it is estimated that he will retaliate even more ruthlessly. Lin Mo secretly thought about how to deal with the next revenge in his heart, and at this time, a rough voice pulled Lin Mo back to reality,
"Xin'er, Lin Mo, why are you here, Xin'er didn't ask you to notify Lin Mo to come over for a meal, why did you and Lin Mo come here and go crazy." Lin Mo followed the sound and saw that a strong man with a big waist was standing in front of the two of them and called.
Liu Xin'er stuck out her tongue when she saw it, grinned and then hid behind Lin Mo.
Lin Mo had also guessed that this person was Liu Xin'er's father Liu Kui, and the people in the town had become his Liu butchers. Liu Butcher frowned as he watched Lin Mo pull Liu Xin'er's hand, and Lin Mo quickly let go of his hand when he saw it.
Butcher Liu urged the two to hurry home, and the meal was ready.
Liu Tuhu's home is in a residential area not far from the town, which is a traditional blue-tiled house, which is taller than Lin Mo's thatched house at first glance.
I happened to see a woman busy in the courtyard, and next to her was a dead pig that had just been killed. This person is Liu Xin'er's mother, and Liu Butcher hurriedly beckoned her to hot the dish when she entered the door.
After hearing this, Xin'er Niang saw that Lin Mo turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy, and Liu Butcher took Lin Mo to the hall, where a few cold dishes had already been placed on the table, and Liu Butcher beckoned the two to sit down quickly. At this time, Xin'er Niang also came in with two plates of meat, and Liu Butcher asked her to sit down too.
Then he filled the wine glasses in front of his and Lin Mo's tables, and then raised the wine glasses in front of his table and said to Lin Mo:
"I haven't been drinking for four years, but today I made an exception, thank Lin Mo for helping the little girl get rid of the harassment of that pockmark, I will do it here first as a respect." After speaking, he drank all the wine glasses, and Lin Mo quickly picked up the wine when he saw this.
The strong smell of alcohol instantly fills the entire mouth and then flows into the stomach. Lin Mo almost couldn't help but spit it out, still thinking about who said that the ancients' wine was low, and this wine was at least 40 degrees.
Then Xin'er Niang also got up and picked up her wine glass and said, "I also want to mention the little girl to thank Lin Mo, if you didn't make a righteous move, the little girl didn't know how to get rid of Zhang Mazi." ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Mo hurriedly said:
"You don't have to thank me, I should do this, Xin'er is also my good friend, how can I sit idly by, you're welcome, you are all my elders, I'll take advantage of it and call you Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, you can call me Lin Mo Xiaomo." After saying that, he poured a glass and drank it.
Liu Butcher still wanted to pour wine, Liu Xin'er saw this and hurriedly stopped her father and mother from pouring wine for Lin Mo again, Liu Butcher could only give up when he saw it, and then beckoned Lin Mo to eat the food.
I have to say that the dishes made by Xin'er Niang are really delicious, and Lin Mo immediately ate them with a big meal. During this period, everyone also chatted, and learned from the conversation that Xin'er's father and mother knew Lin Mo's father, but they were not very familiar with it.
Lin Mo's father and mother opened a small wine shop in the town at that time, and once went to Qiannan City to buy goods together, but they were robbed and killed on the way back.
But it's strange to say, the general town is only 20 miles away from the south of the city, and few people have encountered bandits and robbers since the founding of the country, but Lin Mo's family has not made enmity with others, and it is impossible to encounter vendettas or the like, and the county government can only end the case with bandits.
Lin Mo's own grandfather was also depressed because of this, drank all day long, and died of illness within a few years, and Lin Mo's family had no relatives here, so they could only live with their grandfather's friend Old Man Li.
Lin Mo was also embarrassed when he heard this, the original owner of this body was really miserable, and he had to be kind to himself in the future, which could be regarded as compensating for the original owner of this body.
In addition, Lin Mo also learned from Liu Tu's household registration that his family had a shop in the town, but since Lin Mo's parents died, his grandfather closed the restaurant, and ten years have passed, and the shop has long been dilapidated.
This time, grandpa went to take care of the corpse of Steward Wang, which was also suggested by Liu Xin'er and Ma Yuanwai, otherwise how could this kind of beauty fall on grandpa, after all, there are still many mourners in Qiannan County. Lin Mo glanced at Liu Xin'er gratefully, and Liu Xin'er's cheeks suddenly turned red again.
Liu Butcher sighed after seeing the performance of the two, continued to chat with Lin Mo, and asked about his future plans and today's shuttlecock. Xin'er Niang kept beckoning the two to eat, and took the initiative to pour wine for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo has a new understanding of Xin'er Niang, Bu Tianbu is a straight-hearted Bu Bu, Bu Bu Dali's Bu Bu is a mean Bu Bu is not as mean as Ye Bu said.
This time she was injured for her daughter, she not only gave a pair of pig brains, but also invited herself to dinner to express her gratitude, which is not something that a really snarky person can do.
The four of them finished eating the wine and food, and then the butcher Liu said to Xin'er: "Xin'er, you go out with your mother first, I have something to say to Lin Mo." After saying that, Xin'er Niang pulled Bu Xin'er out and closed the door.
Liu Butcher looked at Lin Mo and said to himself: "Xin'er is a good girl, as her father, I owe her too much." ”
borrowed the strength of the wine Liu butcher said a lot, as the butcher of the town, the Liu family originally lived a good life, Liu Xin'er did not have to be a maid for others, but when the Liu butcher was drunk and had a conflict with someone, he accidentally killed the other party, and the other party's family carried the coffin to the county government to shout grievances.
Although some people testified that the other party first insulted Liu Butcher and did it, everyone was beaten to death, and the matter was over.
The county magistrate didn't want to take care of this matter, so he made a thin mud and asked Liu Butcher Bubu Bubu to give the deceased's family this Bubu Bu to this end. Who would have thought that there was a talent in the deceased's family, and he insisted on going to Yunzhou Mansion to complain.
The county magistrate had no choice but to put Liu Tuhu in prison, ready to be convicted of manslaughter and sent to the frontier to serve forced labor.
Liu Xin'er, who was only 12 years old at the time, knelt in front of the deceased's house for three days and three nights, begging them to withdraw the lawsuit, and passed out several times.
After the neighbors found out, they all felt Liu Xin'er's filial piety and collectively asked for Liu Xin'er's life, and finally the family of the deceased relented and agreed to go private, but they were willing to withdraw the lawsuit only after paying 500 taels.
Although the Liu family is not poor, five hundred taels is still an astronomical amount for the Liu family.
In order to make up the money, Liu Xin'er went to the county seat to insert a bid and sell her head, and sold herself as a slave. But five hundred taels to buy a yellow-haired girl, no one really wants to pay this money.
However, Liu Xin'er was lucky, she met the second lady of the Ma family who was a bodhisattva, and she didn't hurry to give Liu Xin'er 500 taels of money, and also used the connections of the Ma family to suppress the matter.
Therefore, Liu Xin'er has great respect for the second miss of the Ma family. Although the second miss of the Ma family said that if she has the money to repay the money in the future, she will not have to enter the house as a slave, but the stubborn Liu Xin'er insists on being the slave of the second miss of the Ma family to repay the kindness.
Liu Butcher also didn't drink a drop of alcohol because of this, stopped drinking, and went out early and late every day just to make up enough five hundred taels of silver to return to the Ma family, redeem Liu Xin'er, and then find a family for her, and find a good family to marry, which can be regarded as compensating for his debt to her.
After that, Liu Butcher slapped himself in the face a few times. Lin Mo didn't expect to have such a hidden feeling, the usually clever and cute little girl still has such an unknown side, and suddenly has more respect for Liu Xin'er in her heart.
