The next day, Xi's second sister-in-law followed Xi Lin into the city, Xi Lin knew the price of bamboo strips in the county, and finally saw that the price was the same, so he went to the one that Xi Er's sister-in-law said.

Xi Lin saw that this shop was not far from the Han family's grocery store, and Xi's second sister-in-law went in to chat a few words first, but after chatting, her face was not good, and her son was engaged in the last two days!

Second sister-in-law Xi was a little disappointed, and in the end she had to give up.

After buying bamboo strips, the Xi family began to hire people to surround the wall again, Aunt Xi was in a hurry, when would the Han family come to propose? ! Sister-in-law Xi went to the county seat two days ago and was also angry, so Han Yushu of the Han family said that he was discussing with his family, but how many days have passed since this day, and there is still no result in the discussion? Is it that hard to negotiate?

"Eldest daughter-in-law, is the Han family coming or not?" Aunt Xi called Sister-in-law Xi aside to question.

Sister-in-law Xi also looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid it's ......"

"What? What went wrong? Aunt Xi asked.

"The second elder of the Han family did come to Yunzhou City, but as soon as he inquired about our red beans, he didn't dare to come to propose marriage...... Sister-in-law Xi said: "But Han Yushu is still willing, and she has been persuading her all these days." ”

Aunt Xi's face was cold, could she not think of the next? It must be the reputation of that "Kefu", and the Han family didn't dare to come to propose marriage, saying that it was a discussion and persuasion, and this matter would definitely be over in the end.

"Okay, I'm afraid this Han family can't be counted on, let's look for it again!" Aunt Xi is really anxious to get angry, and now she also knows how people outside spread Xi Hongdou, now as long as the family affair is decided, all rumors can be broken, but now it is making trouble, it seems that it is spreading more and more, when can I say goodbye well? !

The Xi family is worried, but Zhao Tiezhu on the other end is busy and happy, in recent days, he has not met the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village to chew the root of the tongue when he stepped forward to talk about Xi Hongdou Kefu, the rumors are more and more exaggerated, from the original Kefu vaguely rose to the level of the whole Kefu family.

Widow Sun saw that Zhao Tiezhu went to gossip in order to be the son-in-law of the Xi family, and her face was not good, so she said: "If you do this, you will lack morality, those old women can say anything ugly!" "There are many rights and wrongs in front of my widow's door, and those long-tongued women are also blindly arranging for her behind their backs, and now I am very disappointed when I see Zhao Tiezhu and those people going together.

Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, as long as I marry Xi Hongdou in the end, no one will say those words again." ”

Widow Sun shook her head and sighed, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Zhao Tiezhu sat on the lame broken bed in the courtyard, thinking about his good life in the future, with a face full of expectations. The ancients said that a lazy person has a lazy blessing, I don't know if he, a lazy person, can also be a little blessed!

The weather is getting cooler, and the new crab seedlings are also thrown into the paddy field, Xi Hongdou is a little worried, although this crab is not afraid of the cold, but she is still afraid that the crab seedlings will not be able to survive the low temperature.

Many people in the village saw that the Xi family had made a lot of money, so they also followed the study of crab farming, but the crab seedlings put in it were all turned over in a few days, not to mention that they could not be raised, and they also made the ground smelly, and they were blind to the money to buy crab seedlings. For this reason, everyone also stares at Xi Hongdou every day, wanting to see how Xi Hongdou feeds these things.

The wind rose at night, Xi Hongdou carried the lantern to his own ridge, the moonlight was not particularly bright, but through the faint light, he seemed to see a figure in the paddy field. Xi Hongdou quickly blew out the lantern and squatted down to observe what the man was doing.

The black shadow in the field took the basket and was fishing, Xi Hongdou wondered if this person was afraid that he was here to steal the crab, but the crab seedlings had just been thrown in, where was the big one?

Sure enough, the man fished for a while and went ashore, and then slowly walked away.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly went home first, and the next morning told his family that someone came to steal crabs at night, and when Aunt Xi heard it, she said: "There have been no chickens and dogs in this village for many years, why did you suddenly make a thief?!" ”

Father Xi said: "I still have to let someone watch it at night." ”

"At that moment, I'll ask whose family members are free, and I'll call them at night." Xi Mu said.

At noon, Zhao Tiezhu went to Xi's house and signed up to be a watchman. Aunt Xi was not very happy to let Zhao Tiezhu come because of Zhao Tiezhu's previous proposal, but unfortunately no one else came except Zhao Tiezhu, and in the end, she could only leave people first.

The gossip about Xi Hongdou spread more and more, and finally Aunt Zhang came to the door.

Zhang Shiliang was stabbed to death by Zhou Danxing, Zhou Danxing heard that she was going to be beheaded after the autumn, and Aunt Zhang's resentment didn't know where to go, and finally decided that it was Xi Hongdou, the broom Xingke, who killed her son. Zhang Laohan couldn't afford to be sick, and Aunt Zhang was also a little mentally disturbed, unkempt all day long, and when he came to the door, the whole village gathered around the door of Xi's house to watch the excitement.

"Xi Hongdou, you are a broom star, my son has divorced you and has not been able to avoid this catastrophe, you compensate my son!" Aunt Zhang sat at the gate of Xi's house, crying with her thighs lined up.

Aunt Xi originally wanted her son to beat Aunt Zhang away, but seeing that Aunt Zhang was so crazy because of the loss of her son, she still couldn't bear it.

"Zhang's family, go back, your son was killed by Zhou Danxing, and it was also Zhou Danxing who was provoked by your son at the beginning, how can you blame my family's red beans for such an end?" Aunt Xi persuaded bitterly.

Aunt Zhang naturally refused, so she said: "Give back my son's life, Xi Hongdou is a broom star!" ”

Aunt Xi was also helpless, she couldn't fight, she couldn't leave, and in the end she could only close the door and hide first.

Outside, Aunt Zhang still didn't listen to crying and scolding, and inside Aunt Xi's heart also fell to the bottom, such a fuss, Xi Hongdou's marriage didn't have to think about it in the future, and now she can't even get out of the door.

Xi Hongdou saw that there were not enough red beans at home, so he wanted to go out to buy them, but Aunt Zhang blocked the door and no one wanted to go out.

The Xi family was gloomy, Xi Hongdou thought about it for an afternoon, and said, "Or I'll move out of the village to live." She was tired of hearing the gossip of the people in the village, and she would leave in a few days when the crab seedlings were stable.

Aunt Xi asked, "Where did you go when you left the village?" ”

"Let's take the county seat, just rent a place." Xi Hongdou said.

Father Xi objected: "This can't be done, if you go to live in the county, you must have someone to be your companion, and no one can leave if you look at the people at home." ”

"Just live on your own." Xi Hongdou explained that there is no need to be accompanied.

Aunt Xi slapped the table and said, "That's not good, you live alone in a girl's family, what if something happens!" ”

Xi Hongdou sighed: "Nothing can happen, it's better than being blocked at the door and scolded now." ”

Aunt Xi sighed, so far, I really can't do anything.

At this time, sister-in-law Xi said: "Mother, my mother's family has a cousin-in-law who lives in the county seat, my cousin often works outside, and my sister-in-law lives alone. ”

When Xi Mu heard this, he said: "I think it's okay, Aunt Zhang's mind is not very clear now, and I don't know when I want to scold, and it's not a matter of Hongdou listening to it like this every day!" ”

Father Xi thought about it, and nodded in the end, they were afraid that Xi Hongdou would be scolded every day and would not be able to think of three long and two short.

As soon as the matter was decided, Sister-in-law Xi went to say hello to her cousin-in-law the next day, and Xi Hongdou packed up her things and left Xijia Village in a hurry before Aunt Zhang started to make trouble.

Xi Mu and Sister-in-law Xi helped to get things and sent people all the way to the county seat, and on the way, Sister-in-law Xi told Shen Hongdou about her sister-in-law.

"My sister-in-law is a good-natured person, her maiden name is Fang, but when the family was separated, my uncle and aunt favored the younger son, and then she rarely interacted with my cousin and sister-in-law." Sister-in-law Xi said: "Try not to mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is a little ...... to mention my sister-in-law" After speaking, she pointed to her head.

Xi Hongdou wrote it down, after all, she went to someone else's place to borrow it, and she didn't have that mouth.

When I arrived at the county seat, I met Xi's sister-in-law's cousin-in-law, and Xi Hongdou felt that this sister-in-law was really a good-natured person.

"Come in, I usually live alone at home, and you don't have to be restrained!" Fang Guifen was very enthusiastic when she saw Xi Hongdou, she lived alone, and the men in the family were often not at home, and there were a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the door, and someone came to be her companion, and she felt a lot better.

Xi Hongdou brought a meeting gift, all of which were local specialties from the family, plus the pastries she made, Fang Guifen was very happy to see it.

After Xi Mu and Xi sister-in-law settled Xi Hongdou, they said: "In the future, the eggs that will be used for steaming cakes will be sent to you every time you go to the market, so you will not be delayed." “

Xi Hongdou smiled, this is the best, no matter what, making money is a big deal!

After sending away the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xi Hongdou bought some daily necessities, and it was convenient to buy anything in the county.

When he arrived at the Han family's grocery store, Xi Hongdou wanted to buy some daily necessities, and Han Yushu knew that Xi Hongdou had come to live in the county.

"If I want anything else, I'll send the red bean girl to her residence." Han Yushu said.

Xi Hongdou smiled and bought a basin and a board, but in this way, he couldn't take it back together.

Han Yushu said directly: "I'll help you." ”

"It's not good." Xi Hongdou said with a smile.

Han Yushu also smiled, and then helped take the shelf out of the store.

Xiao Zhi was wandering on the street, and he seemed to see Xi Hongdou in a flash, but when he looked again, he found that there was no figure, which made him a little dazed.

Here, Han Yushu was holding things all the way, and he didn't know what to say all the way, so he chatted casually, and Xi Hongdou only felt that the boss was enthusiastic, and he followed what he said. When he arrived at the gate, Xi Hongdou asked Han Yushu to go back first, there was no man in the family, and it was not good to let the man enter the door, so as not to let Fang Guifen gossip.

Han Yushu nodded with a smile, and then walked out of the alley first, Xi Hongdou turned his head and was about to knock on the door, his shoulders were cold, and a short knife was across his neck.
