Chapter 1: Something Goes Wrong at Home

Next Chapter

In a dart game with a unique decoration style in Qiushan County, Tian Jiyao was making a small abacus crackle.

"Sister-in-law of the Tian family, do you still have the heart to work in the store? Something is wrong! A simple-looking man trotted in with two baskets of eggs.

"Oh? Brother Egg, didn't you just send eggs yesterday, why did you send them again today, I can't consume them in this store. What's wrong? ”

The woman in blue behind the counter raised her head, and the word shrewdness was almost written on her white and delicate face, and all businessmen who had dealt with Tian Jiyao were a little stunned when they saw her face, and they were scared.

"What an egg brother! I'm called Niu Dali! ”

Niu Dali glared at her dissatisfied, put down his burden and wiped his sweat, and suddenly hammered his head, "Oops, I was so angry with you that I almost forgot about business!" Don't you go home to see your little father-in-law, he was forced to the door by his uncle, and his legs were broken! ”

"What?"

Tian Jiyao's heart tightened, and she walked out from behind the counter, so anxious that she almost kicked over Niu Dali's egg basket, "Make it clear!" When was this? How's the people? Why did Uncle beat him? ”

It's been two years since she'd crossed over.

Since she got lost in a mysterious delta two years ago, she crossed over to an unidentified little girl, and was picked up by the Shen family as a child daughter-in-law, for her nerdy husband, although she didn't plan to live with him for the rest of her life, but after living together for two years, she has feelings for the people of the Shen family.

Niu Dali carefully moved the egg basket to the side, and said: "Ouch, take it easy, sister-in-law of the Tian family, although my five hundred eggs are almost obtained for nothing, but don't give me a beating, I still expect to sell it to marry Xiaohua......"

"Do you believe that I let you not sell a single egg in the future? Say it! ”

Tian Jiyao grinded her teeth, but she had some doubts in her heart, just like Brother Dan, can he still pick up other people's cheapness? Don't look back, be sold, and help people count the money!

"Okay, well, to put it mildly, I also heard this from the big guy who sold eggs to me, didn't your little husband sell a few empty houses a while ago, and his uncle rushed to your house this morning, saying that he sold his ancestral property, was unfilial, drove away his grandmother, and said that if he couldn't redeem the old house within ten days, he would send Shen Yun to see the official! What a fight! ”

Tian Jiyao's face sank suddenly, and the idea of returning to the village immediately suddenly stopped.

Wrong.

Niu Dali is an egg seller in the village who is good friends with her, and he is honest and honest, but he is still credible.

Before the appointment, every three days to send 500 eggs, just enough for the store to consume for three days, no reason he just sent it yesterday, today to send again, to Niu Dali just said that the matter of picking up eggs in vain, I am afraid that someone will be regarded as a messenger.

From Xiaohe Village to Qiushan County, it is just more than two hours away, Shen Yun was just beaten this morning, and she got the news just after noon, and the other party is very clear about the five hundred eggs that she and Niu Dali agreed......

Niu Dali looked at her face a little worried, and said timidly, "Sister-in-law of the Tian family, do you want this egg or not, I brought the news to you, it's not good to bring it back, right?" ”

Tian Jiyao rolled his eyes, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and quietly commanded by checking the eggs, and pretended to be embarrassed to send Niu Dali, "Brother Egg, there are so many, I really can't accept it in the store, so let's do it, if you don't have land to sell, I'll lend you the piece of land at the door to sell, there is such a big thing in my family, I have to go back quickly!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Niu vigorously picked up the egg basket and set up a small stall at the door of the Shen family's shop, shouting in style, his honest face was full of smiles, but he didn't dare to be sloppy about what Tian Jiyao explained.

Tian Jiyao packed her luggage, found a simple order from the shopkeeper and told her that everything would be as usual for the past few days, and then hurriedly went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for bruises and broken legs.

Not far from the Shen family's shop, a thief-eyed man shook out of the corner, looked around, and no one seemed to notice him, so he left as if he was a thief.

Tian Jiyao carried the medicine, and her slender figure traveled all the way on the mountain road, returning to Xiaohe Village from Qiushan County, to climb over a small hill, and then walk a few hours to get there.

Behind him, a carriage from far to near, Tian Jiyao glanced at it in surprise, usually even bandits were reluctant to come on this mountain road, but today they can still see the carriage, it seems that the methods of the people behind the scenes are really not very clever.

However, seeing that the eggs carried by Niu Dali were in good condition, there should be no big problem with this carriage, after all, the other party has always wanted her to go back quickly.

She stood on the side of the road and beckoned, signaling the coachman to stop.

"Phewβ€”" The coachman tightened the reins, pulled the carriage in front of her, and said hurriedly, "the eldest sister wants to take a ride?" It's okay to put aside weekdays, but today Uncle I have some urgent matters at home, if you don't go by the way, I can't take you miles. ”

Tian Jiyao pursed her lips and smiled, and replied politely: "Uncle, this road leads all the way to Xiaohe Village, where my house is located, there is no other fork in the road, I think most of it is also a way, it just so happens that I have an urgent matter at home, borrowing your car for a while, it's better than my two legs, isn't it?" Uncle, please kindly help me! ”

The coachman thought that this seemed to be the case, so he jumped out of the car and motioned for her to sit down, and raised his whip, "Yes, but if you get to the point where you are not on the way, you must tell me in advance, and I will let you down." ”

"Okay." Tian Jiyao sat in the carriage obediently, poking out her head playfully like an ordinary little girl, "Uncle, you are so nice!" Where are you going? ”

While driving the carriage, the coachman replied: "On this mountain, I have a cousin who has died, he is a single family, and he has no wife and children, so I have to rush back to take care of his funeral." ”

"So that's the case, people can't be resurrected after death, uncle, you mourn." Tian Jiyao frowned worriedly.

"Hey, although this is the truth, but I just met him a while ago, and his body is quite tough, how can he leave in a dignified manner! Just half a pillar of incense, I was still thinking about when I was going to go to him to drink some wine, but I didn't expect that this was only half a pillar of incense, and I could only sprinkle wine in front of his grave......"

The coachman was very talkative, but the timing was too coincidental to make people suspicious.

Tian Jiyao sat in the carriage, chatting with the coachman for a while, just after crossing the mountain road, when he was still halfway from Xiaohe Village, the carriage suddenly stopped.

She lifted the curtain and looked over, a hut at the foot of the mountain was smoking, and a lean old man squatting by a small river not far from the mountain road was handling prey.
