After doing all this, Xu Lan stretched and returned to the room.

As soon as she returned, she heard a faint cry.

This startled Xu Lan.

Could it be that my mother was bullied again, where to hide and cry secretly?

Xu Lan was suddenly a little angry.

I've only been out for a long time, so why did the Chen family start to take the opportunity to be a demon again!

Xu Lan immediately followed the sound and saw a huge figure squatting outside the kitchen wiping her tears.

"......" Xu Lan was stunned for a moment.

Why is Chan crying?

Could it be that someone beat him up outside?

"Who!" Hearing the movement behind him, Chen suddenly turned around.

Xu Lan wanted to sneak away, but she looked at her.

I saw that Chen's two eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, and there were obvious bruises under the eyes, and there were two red marks above her eyebrow bones, as if they had been scratched out with their fingernails.

"Grandma, who were you beaten?" Xu Lan was startled, and hurriedly asked clearly, lest she be framed by the Chen family later and said that she beat her.

"It's not that loser yet!" Chen held his breath in his heart, and couldn't help but scold, "That unfilial slut refused to return the things, and she dared to do something to me today!" ”

It turned out to be Liu!

Xu Lan had a bottom in her heart.

It seems that Chen went to Liu to ask for something recently, but he didn't take any advantage, but was beaten by Liu.

"You dead girl, why do you give them good things!" When Chen saw Xu Lan, even if Xu Lan didn't do anything, he couldn't help but scold a few words.

Isn't it just for you dog-eat-dog that you don't have time to trouble me and my mother again!

Xu Lan said in her heart.

But she couldn't say that.

"I can't help it, grandma, even you can't fight her, I'm afraid that she will knock on the door again to get something." Xu Lan deliberately pretended to be scared.

Seeing this, the anger in Chen's heart became even greater.

She scolded at the Liu family in her mouth, and she couldn't wait to let her eldest son drive the Liu family out of the house.

"Grandma, it's almost winter, but I bought some pork and came back." Xu Lan sighed, "If you can bring back the pork she took away, you can marinate more bacon at home, and you won't be hungry in winter!" ”

"No, I can't swallow this breath!" Hearing this, Chen couldn't sit still.

Otherwise, the fragrant pork is not something that can be eaten very often.

As long as Chen thought about it, he couldn't help drooling.

But the pork was snatched away by Liu's shameless robber, and in any case, Chen decided to rest and go to Liu.

That pork can't just be left at that.

Seeing Chen's fighting spirit, the smile on the corner of Xu Lan's mouth was almost unbearable.

"Grandma, this is for you." Xu Lan thought for a while and took out a box of ointment, "This is a healing medicine, you can quickly get better by rubbing a little under your eyes." ”

She is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, but if the Chen family gets better a day earlier, she can go to Liu's trouble earlier.

"For me?" Chen snatched it up, but looked at Xu Lan suspiciously, "How can you stinky girl be so kind?" Isn't this poison, you deliberately want to poison me? ”

"Grandma! What are you talking about! Xu Lan was a little angry, "If you don't want to, just give it back to me!" ”

It was rare for her to give something to Chen, but she was so suspicious of the other party.

"Hmph, do you want to get it back for me? No way. Chen quickly put away the ointment, and as she walked to her own house, she scolded and said, "None of them are good things, maybe you are all colluding, and you want to hurt me and trick me into using medicine, just to harm my wife." ”

"It's all a few days of thunder and no conscience."

"Why didn't you starve to death earlier, starving to death the old woman so that you can live a quiet life."

Xu Lan was so angry that she almost fell on her back.

Chen's mouth is getting more and more poisonous.

It wasn't her who beat Chen, why did she scold her?

Xu Lan decided that she would never be a good person anymore and give anything to the Chen family, and if she didn't get half a word of praise, she would be scolded.

"What are you angry with your grandmother?" Xu Dahai pushed the door in, and saw Xu Lan puffing out her cheeks in anger.

The Zhang family is not here, and there is no one else except the Chen family who can make Xu Lan angry like this.

"I was kind enough to give her something, and she scolded me!" Xu Lan said in a low voice, "Dad, I won't mess with grandma, you also tell her, let her not mess with me." ”

"How?" Xu Dahai put down the firewood, stared at Xu Lan dissatisfied, and scolded, "That's an elder, what's wrong with you even if you say a few words?" Are you a golden bodhisattva? The whole family can only offer you half a sentence? ”

Xu Lan pursed her lips, knowing that her father's stupid and filial piety was up again.

It's useless to say anything to him at this point.

Xu Lan was afraid that she would be angry again, so she simply changed the topic.

"Dad, I bought pork and salt and came back, and I still have some chickens." Xu Lan lifted the vegetable basket and let Xu Dahai look at the pork.

Xu Dahai is used to Xu Lan often buying things and coming back.

He was well fed and dressed, and he had nothing to complain about about it.

However, seeing that Xu Lan bought a basket of meat, he subconsciously reprimanded: "You girl, you have to save a few dollars after making a few dollars, we are not a big family, what are you doing when you buy so much meat?" ”

"Daddy! I'm going to make bacon! Xu Lan said helplessly, "Daddy, don't you think the dealer in the field doesn't look good?" I went around and found that no matter what I planted, it looked wilted. ”

At the mention of this, Xu Dahan sighed, and the area between his eyebrows seemed a little deeper than before.

"Yes, you are young and can only help with some chores, but you also found that the situation in the field is not good." He shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not even thirty percent of the harvest of previous years." ”

"Sancheng?" Xu Lan was taken aback, "No, it's not the autumn harvest yet, and the crops can grow again." ”

Xu Dahai said while sorting out the firewood: "Do you know the things in this field or do I understand?" Now I look at the crops quite a lot, but the further I go, the more dead the ground......"

The more Xu Lan listened, the heavier she felt in her heart.

It seems that she is still too optimistic.

The reality is probably more grim than she thought.

Xu Dahai rummaged through the vegetable basket and found that there were pickles in addition to pork, he finally nodded and praised Xu Lan: "It's thoughtful, I'll cook the meat after eating." ”

"Daddy, why don't we take advantage of the hot weather now and build another house." Xu Lan proposed, "Keep the chickens in it, and you can save more firewood." ”

"yes, okay." Xu Dahai nodded.

Seeing that Xu Lan cared so much about her family's affairs, Xu Dahai's attitude towards her eased a little.

Thinking of seeing Xu Lan's puffing appearance just now, Xu Dahai couldn't help but say: "You don't quarrel with your grandmother on weekdays, it's not easy for her." ”
