Chapter X

In fact, Mingxiu also understands that it is just a group of ignorant people, and it is not worth being angry, but being pointed at like this, it is inevitable that he can't help but be angry.

After all, she's just an ordinary person.

Xie Zhan was choked by Mingxiu's faint words, and the next words were stuck in his throat.

He believed that if he said the next words at this time, it would not be necessary to drive him out directly with Mingxiu's temper.

This woman has always been very angry, and what is aggrieved is that just like Mingxiu said, and now he has to bow his head under the eaves, even if he is not used to seeing Mingxiu, he can only bow his head and keep silent.

“…… But your heart is different from theirs, if you meet someone who is worse than you, will you fall into the well? ”

"Of course not."

Although she was a little sentimental in her heart, Xie Zhan still had to admit that she was a kind person.

Of course, goodness was not a laudable virtue for him.

But Mingxiu is really happy, what kind of temperament Xie Zhan is, she has also figured out a little bit during this time, if she didn't really think like this in her heart, he wouldn't have opened this mouth.

"That's right, if you don't look down on those people, you will live your family life in the future, and naturally no one will dare to look down on you."

Although I don't want to admit it, but this is the case, Mingxiu's mood and temperament determine that as long as her luck is not too bad in the future, she will definitely not be poor all her life, in this countryside, it is a little difficult to get rich and rich, but it is not difficult to live a flat life with the village.

Mingxiu bowed slightly, although she was still annoyed that those people were talking nonsense, but her mood was much better.

"You're right, I shouldn't let those innocuous words affect my life."

Her temper came and went quickly, and she was still angry, but now she can go into the stove house to cook and chat with Ming's mother.

"Most of the house at home has been damaged, let's repair it later."

Now that there is no rain, it naturally looks like there is nothing bad, but if it rains......

Mingxiu glanced up at the thatch above his head that could shine through the moonlight.

I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily outside the house and light rain inside.

"Your father thinks the same way, he has planned to go up the mountain in the past two days to cut down some trees and get some mud and come back to repair it."

Their house is very good as long as it can be impervious to rainwater.

Mingxiu didn't think so, she was thinking about something else.

"Mother, if our house is pushed to be rebuilt, how much silver will it cost?"

She hasn't been out of the village since she came here, she doesn't know the prices here, and she doesn't know anything about the outside world.

Ming's mother looked at Mingxiu like a child, and she was not surprised that she didn't understand, Mingxiu was confused for the first ten years, and it was easy to sober up now, and she should be like a child in the world.

"Our house is dilapidated, but we have to rebuild it...... If you don't say anything, you have to pay twenty taels of silver, but where is the money to repair the house? She looked at Mingxiu lovingly, "When it is autumn, your father and I will go to open two acres of wasteland, although there is no income in the past few years, but there is no need to pay taxes, our family is small, just enough to eat." ”

When the wait is good, you can still have some income when you go back, and the money is gradually saved up to repair the house, and you will plan to start Mingxiu's dowry.

Although she and Ming's father plan to recruit a son-in-law for Mingxiu, not to mention the family that is a door-to-door son-in-law, even if they are good, they must be able to afford a son-in-law.

In the future, there are many places where money will be charged.

In the evening, the rain fell from the sky, and it began to be a drizzle, although there were some water stains at home, but not much.

"You all go to sleep, my mother took a basin and water, and it won't get the house wet."

Mingxiu watched for a while, and saw that Mingmu was at ease and didn't mean to intervene to help, so she just told her to rest early and go back to sleep.

After a while, the rain gradually increased.

Originally, Mingmu could squint a little bit, but by the time of the third watch, Mingxiu had been woken up by the rain on her head, and her whole body was watery, only her back was a little dry.

"Mother!"

She ran through the rain to her parents' room.

As soon as he left the room, he found that his parents and Xie Zhan were sheltering from the rain in the corner of the hall.

This is the only place where the fire did not burn last time, and the rain does not fall, and now it is the driest place in the house.

"Xiu'er, come on."

Ming's mother was in a hurry to bring Mingxiu over, but now seeing that Mingxiu was awake, she hurriedly took the coat on the side and stepped forward to put it on her body.

"I can't sleep tonight, so I will rest for a while by my mother."

Looking at the rain curtain outside, Ming's mother was worried, such a heavy rain, their terrain here is low, and the family has nothing to do with the rain, and their family was originally a broken house.

But don't let the river rise up.

It's just the height of summer, and if the water in the river rises and floods the crops, then ......

Xie Zhan's face was also not good-looking, seeing that all the clothes on Mingxiu's body were soaked and sticking to the bumpy body, although there were clothes blocking the point, but the half-covered ones were even more ......

He turned his head to look at the rain, and secretly hoped that the rain would come and go as quickly as possible, and what would happen to the people if this place became a disaster area.

Now that the treasury is empty, if there is another natural disaster, I am afraid that the desert will be chaotic again.

Fortunately, when the sky was bright, the rain gradually stopped.

Ming's mother had the intention to ask Mingxiu to go to sleep again, but the bedding at home was already soaked, and even the thatched bed was dripping water outside, how could people sleep in such a place?

Even if Mingxiu is not particular, Ming's mother will not risk her daughter's health.

"You go and wipe your body first, and when the morning dawns, let your father go to the mountains to see if there is any dry firewood, and come back to dry your clothes and bedding, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."

Although it is already summer, there is no way to completely dry the bedding during the day, and if you want to sleep comfortably at night, you can only dry it.

I don't know if there was such a heavy rain last night, and there is still dry firewood on the mountain today.

Even if you don't, you have to dry the bedding in the smoke.

Mingxiu was originally drenched in chaos by the heavy rain, although the beams of this house can block a little rain, but last night there was too much rain, and there was a lot of splash when she fell to the ground and picked up, she was already wet and dripping all over, but she was shocked when she heard Ming's mother's words.

"I'll go up the mountain with my father."

It rained last night, and there may be mushrooms on the mountain today, these things can not only add food to the house, but if they are in good condition, they can be dried in the sun and taken to the town for some money.

"But you ......"

Ming's mother was worried, her wet appearance was really difficult for people to rest assured that she would go out.

It was raining last night and she didn't have a good rest, Mingxiu really should drink some ginger soup and rest at home, not to mention that her health has always been bad.
