85. Taoyuan Village II

"You're a woman." Leng Qiuling was getting dressed when she heard an exclamation from the grass outside.

Zhihua wolf smiled, hurriedly squatted down and picked up the hat on the ground, it was really unlucky to go out and pour a basin of water, who knew that the hat would be hooked off by the branches, "Dacao, it's more convenient to go out and pretend to be a man, otherwise how dare I and Miss go on the road." ”

Leng Qiuling sighed helplessly, this girl with solid eyes, not to mention that she was exposed, she also shook out her identity, and sure enough, Dacao exclaimed again after hearing it, "Miss, that son is also a woman." ”

Leng Qiuling put on her shoes and walked out in front of Zhihua and said, "Yes, I'm also a woman, except for your brothers and sisters, can you not tell others about Dacao?" ”

"Miss Leng, don't worry, I won't say anything about this." Dacao solemnly assured.

Leng Qiuling smiled, even if Dacao said it, it's nothing, but more is better than less, the family is willing to keep it secret, Leng Qiuling is still quite satisfied, "Dacao, do you have anyone you like." ”

"Miss Leng, what are you talking about, I want to have the time to think about that kind of thing there." Da Cao said this, but a trace of blush appeared on his face, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Leng Qiuling's eyes lit up, this expression made it clear that there was someone he liked, it would be much easier, after a pause, Leng Qiuling said, "Dacao, what are you going to do later, haven't Li Wei and Cao'er gotten up yet?" ”

"The eldest brother has already gone to the field, and Cao'er will dress the younger brother again." Dacao quickly regained his composure, raised his head and said, "Miss Leng, I have already made breakfast, and I have to put it on the table, I still have to go to deliver food to my eldest brother, so I won't accompany you." ”

Dacao took a crockpot filled with gruel, and then took a few nests and went out, Leng Qiuling walked around the yard and went to the place where Cao'er slept, the kang in the room was the same, the only difference was that the room where Leng Qiuling slept was covered with a mattress, and the kang in this room was covered with straw.

Leng Qiuling's body stiffened, it was undeniable that she was moved by the kindness of her family, and she could still take out her best things to entertain guests under such poor conditions, which ordinary people really couldn't do.

"Big brother, you got up so early, the eldest sister has already cooked the meal, you can eat first, and come out when I dress the little brother." Cao'er was talking to Leng Qiuling while dressing her little brother with her hands and feet.

After breakfast, Cao'er put the little brother on the straw-paved ground, and began to work by himself, fetching water, chopping wood, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and the grass was busy in the morning without stopping.

"Cao'er, do you know who your second sister likes?" Leng Qiuling took a stool and sat beside Cao'er and asked.

"How do you know that the second sister has someone she likes." Cao'er glanced at Leng Qiuling in surprise, blinked her eyes and said, "After my father died, Brother Zhuzi often came to my house to help, and the person that the second sister liked was him, but Brother Zhuzi was not from this village, and the patriarch said that the girls of the Li family could not marry outsiders, so it was impossible for him and the second sister at all." ”

Leng Qiuling pursed her lips disdainfully, she was very dismissive of the patriarch's words, she couldn't marry an outsider, wouldn't it be that the whole village was married by close relatives, so she wasn't afraid of giving birth to a group of fools?

"Cao'er, aren't all of you guys surnamed Li? So what's going on with that pillar. Leng Qiuling asked again.

Cao'er changed a basin of water and said while washing clothes, "Brother Zhuzi is an orphan who was picked up by the villagers, and the patriarch saw that he was pitiful and let him live here all the time." ”

Leng Qiuling nodded clearly, and was about to speak, two people suddenly ran in at the gate, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be Li Wei and Dacao, both of them were wolf statues, Li Wei still had some scars on his face, and Dacao's entire clothes were soaked.

"Zhihua, hurry up and take the grass in to change clothes." Leng Qiuling frowned and walked over and asked, "Li Wei, what happened, how did you two get like this." ”

Cao'er also put down the clothes in her heart and walked over, pouting and said, "Big brother, that crazy woman did it again, right, I can't bear it this time, you wait for me to go to her house to settle accounts with her." ”

Li Wei hurriedly grabbed Cao'er and said helplessly, "Cao'er, forget it, these are all skin injuries, it will be fine in two days, nothing serious." ”

"Big brother......" Cao'er shouted dissatisfied.

"Cao'er, who did it?" Leng Qiuling was very puzzled, she was bullied like this, and she had to endure it, but the other party had a big background.

"Isn't it the crazy woman, the mother of the person who married the second sister, Aunt Osmanthus." Cao'er said angrily, this crazy woman is really going too far every time.

Under Leng Qiuling's questioning, Li Wei finally told what happened, it turned out that Dacao ran into Aunt Osmanthus when he went to deliver food, the person first damaged Dacao with a yin and yang monster, and saw that Dacao didn't react and deliberately wrestled and pushed Dacao into the puddle, Li Wei just saw this scene and ran over to theorize, who knew that Aunt Osmanthus was unreasonable and moved her hands on Li Wei's cheeks and limbs, scratching and scratching.

"Damn." Leng Qiuling cursed in a low voice, I really have never seen such an excessive person, even if he withdraws from the marriage unreasonably, he is still aggravating and fighting, "Li Wei, is this the patriarch don't care?" ”

Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "The patriarch can't control it at all, the woman hanged herself and jumped into the river when she made a fuss, and every time she moved her seriously, everyone slowly became scared, so they just tossed with her, as long as it wasn't too much." ”

Leng Qiuling was directly speechless, it's really a noisy child who has candy to eat, so honestly just wait to be bullied.

Dacao changed his clothes and came out to fetch a basin of water and began to help Li Wei treat his wounds, although they were not strict, but the red marks looked shocking.

"You have a broom star in this house, and you dare to push the old lady, Li Wei, you little rabbit cub, you get out of here, I think it's okay to hide in the house, I think it's okay to believe it or not, I asked my son to burn down your house." A woman in her thirties jumped outside and cursed.

Cao'er picked up a stick and was about to rush out when Leng Qiuling stopped her, saying, "You are not her opponent, look at me, there is no need for this kind of person to clash with her head-on." ”

Leng Qiuling lifted a bucket of water and went up the ladder, and after finding the position, he lifted the whole bucket of water with his right hand and poured it on the man, although the hot water that had just been boiled was mixed with some cold water, but the temperature was definitely unbearable.

"Ah, it's burned to death, Dacao, you cheap woman, you dream if you want to enter our house, when my son comes back, I will let him come to your house to withdraw from the marriage, and see who dares to ask you in the future." Aunt Osmanthus grinned and scolded, the water on her body kept dripping, and after half a day, no one came out, so she stomped home to change her clothes.

"Big brother, you are so powerful, you beat Aunt Osmanthus away so quickly." Cao'er looked at Leng Qiuling with star-star eyes and admiration, during this time, several of them were bullied by Aunt Osmanthus, this time someone helped them take revenge, Cao'er was naturally very grateful.

In comparison, Dacao's face was very bad, pale and crumbling, Leng Qiuling sighed, took her hand and said, "Dacao, don't you be their loss, you can definitely find a better one." ”

"I know." Dacao pulled out a weak smile, obviously taking Leng Qiuling's words as comfort, just that, she didn't want to marry in the first place, so she should be regarded as getting what she wanted.

"Second sister, don't be sad, if you don't marry, I won't marry, I will be with you for the rest of my life." Cao'er pulled Da Cao's arm and said.

"What nonsense, you don't have to worry about the second sister's affairs, and I don't need you to accompany me." Da Cao's face was on the side, her life had been ruined, but Cao'er was different, she was still young, and her days would still grow in the future, how could she stay at home with her for the rest of her life.

Leng Qiuling shook her head disapprovingly, the two sisters knew that they would think about things in the worst way and separate the two, "Dacao, if you propose to withdraw from the marriage first, will things be better." ”

"I proposed to withdraw from the marriage, which is impossible, and there is no such precedent in the village." Dacao shook his head and directly vetoed this method, "And the patriarch will not agree, Aunt Osmanthus's son is a child, and his status in the village is high." ”

Leng Qiuling understood in an instant, is it typical ungrateful? If you have the ability, you look down on your former fiancΓ©e, and you feel that you can be worthy of a better one, and the patriarch's thoughts are better understood, the only child in the village, no matter how you look at it, it is much more important than a girl without a father.

"Miss Leng, thank you for your concern, but my problem is complicated and not easy to solve, so you better leave it alone." Dacao endured despair and smiled, and for the first time, there were tears on the face that was better than laughing.

Leng Qiuling asked Zhihua to help Dacao go down to rest, and then walked around the yard a few times by herself, and thought of an idea, Aunt Osmanthus must have helped his son find a home in such a hurry, if she could find out, then Dacao would find the active party, and there would be room for things to turn around.

Leng Qiuling quietly found Cao'er and told her what she thought, Cao'er volunteered to raise her hand to ask to sign up, Leng Qiuling agreed after thinking for a while, she was not familiar with this village, and she needed a familiar person to lead her way.

Taoyuan Village is not big, more than 40 families are divided into two streets, the middle is connected to form a cross, Cao'er's house and Aunt Osmanthus's house are just on a street and are only 500 meters apart.

Leng Qiuling asked Cao'er to go to the neighbor's house to buy a set of clothes for the girl's house, although it is easier to pretend to be a man, it is not suitable for today's situation, she doesn't want to be choreographed by someone before she has done anything.
