Chapter 10 The Ancient Mother-in-law

The resentment against the original owner is not only this family, but also the Xu family's big house and the old couple. Since the original owner sold the land, Xu Lanyin has never entered the door of the big house.

Xu Lanyin didn't care about children like children, so she smiled and said, "I didn't want to eat your family's meat." ”

"Hmph, you can't think of it." Make a wish with your head high, and be proud like a crowing rooster.

The two brothers came out, Xu Lanzhou picked up the wish, and went out with Xu Lanting, and Hanako followed them up.

Xu Lanyin originally wanted to make sweet potato cakes, and then steamed a wild egg for Xu Lanzhou. They were gone, and they didn't move. Before, as long as the two brothers were invited to eat by the big house, they would bring back a bowl of delicious food to the Qin family first. Of course, there is certainly no part of the original owner.

Sure enough, more than two quarters of an hour later, Xu Lanzhou came back with half a bowl of meatball soup and a mixed noodle steamed bun. After watching Qin finish eating, he went out with a bowl again.

After Xu Lanzhou left, the Qin family called Xu Lanyin in the house, she had half a mixed noodle steamed bun left, and said, "Mother can't finish eating, you can eat this half of the steamed bun." And he said, "Don't be angry, it's really annoying what you did before." ”

Xu Lanyin nodded, as far as the original owner did, if he left someone else's house, he would be beaten half to death or even directly killed. She warmed up the bowl of polenta left over from noon and ate half a steamed bun.

After the meal, she went to discuss with the Qin family again, "Mother, tomorrow I will go to Yefengling to pick more herbs, and sell them the day after tomorrow." I know that I have caused a big disaster, made life difficult for my family, and made my younger brother drop out of school. I'll try to make more money and buy back what I lost. ”

Yefeng Ridge is the highest and largest of the oatmeal mountains, and it takes nearly three quarters of an hour to the west, where there are more herbs. The mountains behind Xiaozao Village are not high, there are many trees and firewood, but there are not many herbs. Xu Lanyin wanted to go to the county seat as soon as possible to see what opportunities there were to improve the living conditions of her family, and also to improve her own predicament, and to sell or pawn the dowry of that idea.

Qin looked at the girl whose childishness had not been completely eliminated, and his eyes seemed to be much calmer than before. The relationship between the mother and daughter was very deep before, that is, four years ago, she felt that Gu Wangchen was fifteen years old, and she could copy books or write letters for others to earn some money, except for what had to be given, some money should not be paid out by her own family, and she said something about her suspicions about Gu Wangchen. The girl was unhappy, crying and making trouble, no matter how she reasoned, she didn't listen, and since then the relationship between the two has not been as affectionate as before......

Now, why did the silly girl suddenly figure it out?

Qin said, "There are few people in Yefengling, you have to take the flowers with you, don't go up the mountain, and don't go too deep." As long as you figure it out, you don't spend money in vain, and the family works together, and life can always get better. ”

Xu Lanyin nodded. For the first time in so many years, the mother and daughter had a calm conversation.

Originally, she wanted to talk about retiring from Gu Wangchen, but she thought that she couldn't be too rash, she couldn't change too quickly, and she had to find a suitable excuse.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Xu Lanyin got up.

She opened a kang cabinet door and pulled out a small crockpot with a lid on it. When I opened the lid, I saw that there was not much powder in it, and I could only use it a dozen times if I saved it.

The medicinal powder was taken home by Xu Qingyan before. He told his family that this kind of medicinal powder can avoid wild insects and snakes, and it is extremely precious and scarce, so it must be used sparingly, and they are not allowed to say it, including the big house. The original owner is also very valuable, and it will only be used in the sparsely populated mountains.

Xu Lanyin grabbed a small handful and put it in a bowl, then mixed it with water, and sprinkled it on the clothes, pants, and shoes that he was going to wear into the mountain.

Qin and Xiao Zhengtai were still sleeping, and after she and Xu Lanzhou finished breakfast, they took three roasted sweet potatoes and took Hanako to Yefengling.

Hanako seemed to know where her master was going, and ran in front of her with joy.

They walked some way north to the path behind the village, and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties standing under a tree looking at her.

The woman was wearing a gray dress, a silver hairpin, high cheekbones and slightly hanging eyes, it was Gu Wangchen's mother Miao, and the original owner called her Aunt Gu. Since her son won Xiucai, this mother-in-law is much cleaner and neater than before, and her clothes are much better.

Xu Lanyin's impression of Gu Wangchen is handsome and elegant, with a long body, not like his mother at all, probably like his father, or inherited from generation to generation, it is said that the great-grandfather of the Gu family once won the show. As soon as the original owner sees the handsome fiancΓ©, he will be careful and his liver will "flutter" and jump around, feeling that his words and deeds are beautiful and impeccable.

Xu Lanyin didn't have a good impression of Gu Pozi. She must be standing here waiting for herself at this time, there must be nothing good.

She wanted to bypass Gu Pozi, but Gu Pozi greeted her first, "Yin'er, go to Yefengling to pick herbs again?" ”

Gu Pozi knew that Xu Lanyin was going to Yefengling by taking this road, and she wished that the girl would go there every day to sell for more money. She's been waiting here every day for the past few days, and I don't know why this girl only went today.

Once the ancient woman called the original owner "Yin'er" and smiled like a bun, she just wanted something. If you don't want something, you will call her "because of the girl", and her attitude is very arrogant.

Xu Lanyin immediately became vigilant, stood down and asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

Gu Pozi was stunned. This girl is abnormal today, if she usually sees herself, she runs to the back of her head without saying anything, and she laughs so much that she can't even straighten her waist.

Gu Pozi still complained that her son was too soft-hearted, and only let this stupid girl sell six acres of land, and the eight acres of land should be sold. But the son said that he could not leave them a way to live, but if mortals had no way to live, it would be easy to make trouble.

The son took all the money away, and she has a weak mouth these days, and she has no money to buy meat if she wants to. But before the son left, he told her that she was not allowed to ask the stupid girl for meat anymore, just pass on some words, and it was best to let the girl find her a few pears to eat.

The son didn't elaborate, in Gu Pozi's thoughts, it should be that the son wants a good omen, that is, the two of them can smoothly divide the pear (leave). Her son is out, how can that stupid girl be worthy, Gu Pozi wishes they were separated earlier.

The pears of Xu Lizheng's family are just ripe, and the price is more expensive than meat. She hurried to find the silly girl, no matter what method the silly girl used, she had to find herself a few pears to eat.

Gu Pozi walked up to Xu Lanyin and said with a smile, "Yin'er, Wangchen has been to the provincial capital for nearly ten days, and the family's money has been brought to him. Ouch, uncomfortable, want to eat pears. After speaking, he beat his chest uncomfortably and wrinkled his old face.

Does this mean that she asks for money to buy pears to eat? Xu Lan was so angry that she and her family couldn't even afford to eat, and her younger brother went into the mountains to cut wood at such a young age, and the money was given to them, so she was embarrassed to ask for money to buy pears.
