Qu Xiaobai found Zhao Yuan who was watering vegetables in the vegetable garden, and greeted him from afar: "Brother Da Yuan, are you done?" ”

Zhao Yuan was sweating profusely, and when he heard Qu Xiaobai shouting, he hurriedly turned around, "Brother and sister Xiaobai, it's you, what's the matter, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"I have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace. Brother Da Yuan, come out when you're done. ”

"There's nothing to do, just water the garden." He put down his wheel, picked five or six cucumbers with thorns in the ground and brought them out, and saw that Qu Xiaobai had something in his hand, so he put the cucumbers on the ground, "When you leave in a while, you take the cucumbers back to eat." I'll pick some other greens for you later. ”

Qu Xiaobai looked at the tender cucumber and refused to be incompetent: "Okay, this melon is delicious to look at." ”

Zhao Yuan wiped the water stains on his hands on his clothes, and smiled innocently: "Little white brother and sister, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Brother Da Yuan, I want to rebuild our house, don't I ask you to help."

"Flip a house? That's a good thing. Hey, but, little white brother and sister, do you have to flip the cover? Actually, how good it would be for you to come to the village and buy a homestead, where you live, it is desolate and remote, and there is no way to transport materials there. ”

Qu Xiaobai's face was also slightly sad, sighed, and said, "I also know that it is very difficult to flip the cover." But I don't want to live in the village. Brother Da Yuan, you also know that the people of Yangling are stupid, and the people in the village are ...... to us A lot of criticism. ”

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be indignant: "Those idlers, they like to chew their tongues behind their backs, little white brothers and sisters, you don't have to care too much, they have mouths like torn crotches, and they can't save them." ”

Qu Xiaobai squeezed out a little smile, "I'll figure out a way to deal with the road, Brother Da Yuan, you just have to say, can you help with this help." ”

"Can you not help? Little white brother and sister, don't worry, this job is on me. ”

A smile immediately appeared on Qu Xiaobai's face, "I knew that Brother Da Yuan was a warm-hearted person." Brother Da Yuan, come and take a look at the sketch of the house I painted. ”

Qu Xiaobai spread out the pile of drawings she drew on the grass and pointed it out to Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan didn't look at it, and when he saw it, he almost didn't recite it in one breath, "My God, Xiaobai brother and sister, you ...... Your house is even better than the rich people in the county! You...... Do you know how much it costs? ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled: "I have overbudgeted, and I will probably get 1,500 taels of silver." In fact, it's not too good, the big families in the city, which yard can't cost tens of thousands of taels or even more. ”

Zhao Yuan lowered his voice: "Little white brother and sister, I have a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

What he wanted to say, Qu Xiaobai already had a clear picture in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Da Yuan, you say it." ”

Zhao Yuan lowered his voice again, "You tell me the truth, your silver...... Is it really all the right way? We are all Zhuang families, honest people, don't be ......happy," he wanted to say and stopped, and he didn't say anything excessive.

Qu Xiaobai knew that he really cared, so he didn't get angry, smiled, and said, "Brother Da Yuan, don't worry, I, Qu Xiaobai, am not that kind of person." You also saw it, I'm going to open a ready-to-wear shop, I've already found someone to work with, and in the future, I'll make more money. My ability is enough for me and Yang Ling to live a good life, how can I do some indiscriminate things? ”

Zhao Yuan smiled awkwardly: "That's good." That's good. I...... I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid of you......"

Qu Xiaobai interrupted him and said, "Thank you, Brother Dayuan, for caring about me." Your kindness, I remember. Brother Da Yuan, you can bring someone to build the house on this drawing, right? ”

"No problem. Uncle Zhu and I rely on this to eat. Most of the big houses and cottages in this town are made by us. ”

"Then, Brother Da Yuan just agreed?"

"Well, what else do you have to say?"

"Then I'll go find Uncle Zhu in a while. Brother Da Yuan, I'll hand over the drawings to you. If there's anything you don't understand, come back to me. After I discuss it with Uncle Zhuzi, we will set a construction date. ”

"Okay, go ahead. Hey, by the way, you take the cucumber, and I'll go and pull some small greens for you. ”

Zhao Yuan hurriedly went to the garden to pull vegetables, pulled out a basket full of them, and finally picked a few cucumbers, put the original ones in the basket, and handed them to Qu Xiaobai: "Brother and sister Xiaobai, take it." ”

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Dayuan."

Qu Xiaobai didn't refuse, picked up the basket, and walked towards the village.

Yang Zhuzi's family and Yang Xingmao's family live on the same street, and the two families are no more than five or six families away, and the nearest road must pass through Yang Xingmao's house.

Qu Xiaobai didn't want to cause trouble, so he avoided Yang Xingmao's house and chose a long way.

There is a saying that the road is narrow.

Qu Xiaobai was unlucky today, and had already chosen a long way, but she still bumped into her rival, Yang Xingmao.

Yang Xingmao was collecting the rent with his eldest son Yang Jili, Yang Xingmao was smoking a cigarette pouch and limping away, Yang Jili was carrying a bag of rice, and the two of them had a smug smile on their faces, "Dad, today is too smooth." That Qu Dongzi also said that he had no silver, but he didn't expect him to be a thief! I actually hid so much silver! ”

"I think he didn't have it privately, it was very likely that he took it from Qu Xiaobai's little girl. You said...... Why did we look away before, I don't know if that little girl is quite capable. Yang Xingmao took a sip of the cigarette pouch pot.

"Hey, Dad, do you really think she's a capable person? The deal she made must be a face-saving thing, but in fact, I don't know how many times she sold it. Alas, Dad, you say, why were we so stupid before, there is such a good thing, but let outsiders taste it first! ”

As soon as they turned their heads, the two of them found Qu Xiaobai. Qu Xiaobai looked at the two of them quietly, and she didn't say a word about those unbearable words, and she heard them all in her ears.

Although after coming to this world, I have heard more foul language and insults, but this thing is not an antibiotic, and if you use it too much, it will make the body insensitive, and no matter when and where, it is impossible not to get angry when and where you hear such words.

Qu Xiaobai looked at the two of them calmly, and pressed the anger in his chest without immediately attacking.

"Hey, that's damn unlucky, Dad, let's not leave here." Yang Jili turned around and was about to go back.

"Geely." Yang Xingmao stared at Qu Xiaobai with gloomy eyes, and stopped Yang Jili, "Since I bumped into this little slut today, I can't say that my father-in-law has to teach her a lesson, right?" ”

Yang Jili was woken up by his father's words, and his eyes also emitted an evil light, "You're right, Dad, as her eldest brother, I should also teach this little a lesson for the fourth brother. Women are. ”

Qu Xiaobai hugged it, walked in front of the two, raised the corners of his mouth, and bloomed an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It's just right, I'm looking for Master Lizheng to have something." Let's go to Master Lizheng's house and say. ”

"This is a road in heaven that you don't take, and hell has no door for you to break in. Woman, it seems that I won't be able to teach you today! The corners of Yang Jili's mouth couldn't wait to show an obscene smile.

Yang Xingmao was a bit more urban than his son, and he hurriedly grabbed his eldest son, who couldn't hold his breath, "Geely, take your younger brother and sister, let's go home." ”

"Then let's ask Master Lizheng to lead the way."

"Little white nephew, where are you going? Your aunt has something to do with you, so you can come to the house. Xiaobai was about to go with Yang Xingmao, when a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly walked up, dressed as a farmer and carrying a hoe on his shoulder.

Qu Xiaobai recognized him, he was Yang Zhuzi.

Yang Zhuzi has never had contact with her, probably because of his mother-in-law, he is willing to save Qu Xiaobai today.

But Qu Xiaobai has her own plans, and her kindness can only be understood.

Without waiting for Qu Xiaobai to refuse, Yang Jili couldn't wait to open his mouth: "Uncle Zhuzi, our family has something, she won't go to your house today, if you have anything, I'll talk about it later." ”

Yang Xingmao also said: "Brother Zhuzi, my daughter-in-law has something to say when she comes to the house, if you have anything, wait until my daughter-in-law is free." ”

Yang Zhuzi was anxious, but he was stupid, and only said one sentence: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, your aunt has something important to do with you, you better come to our house first." ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled calmly and said, "Uncle Zhuzi, you go home first and wait for me, I also have something to ask you for help." Help me like this, you help me take this basket of vegetables first, and I'll go to your house to get it later. ”

"Little white nephew and daughter-in-law! You ......" Yang Zhuzi is honest after all, and he is afraid of Yang Xingmao's obscenity, and he can't say anything too heavy.

Qu Xiaobai walked up to him, handed the basket to him, and said with a smile: "I'll go over in a while, Uncle Zhuzi, you go back first." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing good, I'm looking for Master Lizheng, I really have something important to say, I'll go to your house after that." Qu Xiaobai glanced back at Yang Xingmao's father and son, and seemed to smile: "Let's go, Master Lizheng." ”

"Hey, nephew and daughter-in-law......"

"Uncle Zhuzi, go back." Qu Xiaobai waved his hand.

Yang Xingmao muttered in his heart, Qu Xiaobai was looking for him, but maybe what was the matter, but no matter what it was, when she entered his house, she was a little woman, and without the help of that stupid big man, she could still turn the sky upside down?

Qu Xiaobai walked towards his house first, and Yang Xingmao and Yang Jili hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the door, Qu Xiaobai suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them, still with a smile on his face, "My father paid the land rent?" The old man there has gained a lot today, right? ”

Yang Xingmao said: "Your father owes me seventy or eighty taels of silver to the Yang family over the years, and this is half of it, and it is too early to pay it off, by the way, I heard that you are doing well now, and you have earned a lot of silver in the town and county. ”

"I'm here to pay the rent for my father. Master Lizheng, isn't your stick injury healed yet? I see that you are still limping when you walk, and you don't know how to maintain it, so be careful of what kind of disease you fall on, and it will not be good to become a real lame person in the future. Qu Xiaobai said with a poisonous smile again, this sentence seemed irrelevant, but it ignited Yang Xingmao's anger all of a sudden.
