Chapter 66: The Relapse of an Old Disease

Xiao Ming quietly told Xiao Han about the money he had earned, and asked him to pay attention to whether there was a suitable land and shop in the town.

After so many things, Xiao Han was very calm about the sudden increase in so much silver at home, he had already calculated this account, nearly five hundred jars of fruit wine, close to six or seven thousand taels of silver income, but he didn't expect the silver to come so quickly.

It's a pity that he went to the village chief's house to buy land late, and the wasteland was secretly bought a few days ago, and there was no news at all.

Xiao Ming only said a pity after knowing it, that land is almost more than 200 acres, which is larger than the land they bought, and if she buys it, it can be connected with her current piece.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Xiao Ming's moving banquet, and the shock it brought to the people in the village has just passed.

After the housework was done, a few women in the village gossiped and did some work under the big locust tree in the village as usual.

The third grandmother looked up at the scorching sun and said anxiously: "It's only the beginning of June, this day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, God won't rain anymore, this year's harvest will be difficult." ”

"That's right, from the beginning of spring to the present, there have only been a few drizzles, and the rain is pitiful, and it can't be watered through." Da Wang said and sighed.

"If we continue like this, we will have to carry water from the river to water the ground." When it comes to picking up water from the river, she is a little worried, it really comes to the point where she needs to pick up water from the river, these ten miles and eight villages share a river, and their village is good to say, close to the river, convenient, but the villages without a river outside will also come to fetch water for the crops, so that they can pick up less water in their village, and there will definitely be disputes at that time.

"Otherwise, what else can I do, it's okay this year, the Xiao family has earned a few taels of silver from repairing the house, which is much better than in previous years." Wang Shi nodded, and said excitedly as if he remembered something important: "You don't know yet, the rest of the wasteland in Qiaodong has been sold." "This is still the formality that the old man of his family helped run, but the old man of his family told her not to talk nonsense, and she has been covering it, but today the person who bought the land came again, ready to repair the house.

"Who bought it, is it the Xiao family?" Li hurriedly asked, his expression a little inexplicable.

"No, it's an outdoor household, I used to be a housekeeper in a big family, and now I want to go back to my hometown to care for the elderly, but there is no one at home for a long time, so I came to us, saying that our Liujia Village has good feng shui and raises people."

"Isn't feng shui good, Xiao Ming made a fortune less than three years after moving here, not only built a big house, but also bought such a large piece of land." The Li family is indescribably envious, and the current Xiao family is something they can't afford.

"And at the moving banquet, even the old lady in the town came, and the lady of the county magistrate sent someone to come, and the good feng shui of our Liujia Village was occupied by their family." In the past, wild beasts were rampant in Qiaodong, often going down the mountain to hurt people and destroy crops, and they didn't dare to live at all.

"Ouch, whose vinegar jar has been overturned? A sour smell. Dawang teased, fanning his hand with his hand, as if to drive away the unpleasant sourness.

"You won't be red-eyed, so you'll move to a place where you live." Since the Da Wang family knew Li's thoughts, the two looked at each other unpleasantly when they met, and they often quarreled when they disagreed.

"You dare to say that you are not red-eyed." Li said angrily, now that the Xiao family is rich, isn't she also in a hurry to slap Xiao Ming.

"Don't make any noise, my ears hurt." The third grandmother frowned, now that the Xiao family is having a better life, who doesn't bother with his family.

Xiao Ming can also be a person, and often sends things to several families with good relations in the village, and she is kind, no one can offend, and she still has the fruits sent by Xiao Ming at home.

"Yesterday, the Xia family came again, let us help find someone to repair the house, twenty dollars a day. If any of you want to go, hurry up and sign up. Wang interjected and brought up the new family again.

"Really, then I'll give a few names to my family." The third grandmother said happily, and hurriedly registered several sons and grandchildren in the family, she has many families, and Xiao Ming's family earned dozens of taels last time she repaired the house.

"My family also registered, and I still need someone to cook, I'll help cook." Da Wang continued.

Several people present, including the Li family, signed up, and the wages paid for repairing the house were high, which was much more cost-effective than finding temporary jobs in the town or city.

"By the way, what's the new surname, a few people." Da Wang asked, I don't know what people's surnames are after a long time.

Wang thought for a while and said, "It seems that the surname is Xia, and a few people just don't know." She heard her old man say this.

Everyone was calculating how much money they could make this time, and suddenly saw Liu Daya running over with a panicked expression.

"Big girl, where are you going?" Wang hurriedly pulled her.

"Baogen is sick, I'll go ask Aunt Xiao."

"Baogen is sick again, you go and invite Xiao Yatou to come, and you take your brother to be careful, don't let your mother-in-law beat you." The Great King said urgently.

Da Wang's words reminded Liu Daya of the experience of being beaten by her and her younger brother because of Liu Baogen's illness a few months ago, and she couldn't stop trembling.

"Let's go and see." The third grandmother said loudly and went to Mrs. Liu's house.

Liu Baogen's illness was the same as last time, foaming at the mouth, his whole body was convulsed, his face was blue and unconscious, and he looked really pitiful.

Poor people must have something to hate, and Mrs. Liu would rather believe the doctor in the town than take the medicine that Xiao Ming bought, so that Liu Baogen will fall ill again.

Mrs. Liu waited for Xiao Ming for a long time and didn't come, and she was so angry, last time she didn't believe in Xiao Ming's medical skills, she spent two taels of silver in the town, the doctor played a package ticket, and insisted that his medicine was powerful, and Xiao Ming was a yellow-mouthed child who prescribed medicine indiscriminately, saying that it would be good if he took his medicine.

Now that Liu Baogen is ill again, she has scolded the doctors in her heart thousands of times.

The onlookers in the village talked a lot, pointing at Mrs. Liu's house.

"What's going on with Baogen, hurry up and take a chopstick in his mouth, don't bite your tongue." The third grandmother remembered what Xiao Ming had said, and asked Wang Xiaohua to hurry up and take a chopstick out.

"What's the use of biting chopsticks, why hasn't this dead girl come yet." Mrs. Liu said hurriedly, but she didn't stop it, but was worried that Xiao Ming would not come.

"It's coming, it's coming." I don't know who shouted, and I saw Xiao Ming coming from the field with the medicine box on his back and Liu Daya from a distance.

"You dead girl, please ask everyone to do this for a long time, what kind of heart do you have, do you want Baogen to die?" Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and had nowhere to go, looking at Liu Daya is a slap in the face.

"It's all your dead ghost father, they can't die well, and they will come to harm my treasure root, if there is no treasure root, I will let you two lose money and goods to accompany the funeral." Mrs. Liu said ruthlessly, and wanted to beat someone again to vent her anger, but was stopped by Xiao Ming.
