Chapter 18: A Pearl's Premeditation
"Brother Hongzhu, rest assured, we will not delay the date of starting construction." Feng Yuchen opened his mouth and reassured.
"Good ......"
The three of them were amazed when they came out of the gate, Li Da looked back at the broken earth house behind him, and couldn't help asking: "This Feng Yuchen's legs are broken, and he is still recuperating from his injuries, why did he suddenly get rich?" Is it really weird? ”
"But no, I heard my sister say yesterday that Feng Yuchen's daughter-in-law went to the town to sell fish yesterday, can this fish still make a fortune, could it be that pearls were found in the belly of the fish? It has only been a long time since the two got married, and they are going to build a new house, and there are ten rooms to be built. ”
"Cow, what a cow!" Li Er couldn't help but complain: "When will I be able to live in a new house, will I be content?" ”
A few people were talking and walking, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family, who was driving a few sheep, passed by them, and when she heard their conversation, she stood still:
"Big brother, what did you just say? Feng Yuchen's wife dug up pearls in the belly of the fish? Sold for a fortune in the town and ready to build a house? And to build ten houses? ”
This blue and white is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Feng's son Feng Daqing, and she is not easy to get along with on weekdays.
This Feng Daqing was also very excessive to Feng Yuchen, although he didn't do many things himself, but with his simple words, his two brothers rushed up as if they had sucked chicken blood, and they bullied Feng Yuchen a lot.
Now that he has separated the family, his life is considered to be in the middle and lower class in the village, and he occasionally follows the team of craftsmen to do some mason work, and he is also a cat and a dog a day, and when he has a job, he works for a few days, and when he is not alive, he stays and dies.
Although there is work in the crops, it is good to have enough food to eat, and with three children in the family waiting to spend money on food, this life is even tighter.
"Yes, what about ten houses? Think about how did your Feng family get rid of people in the first place? I didn't give a penny to the family, and I didn't even give someone a place to live, you see now, God has eyes, and people are going to build ten houses. "This Li Er looks down on the kind of person who steps on the ground and rebels in the nest.
Even if Feng Yuchen was born to a maid, it is also the Feng family, what have they done for so many years?
"Huh...... Gai Gai, he is doing well, we are happy for him, happy......" Although Zhang Qinghua said this, she drove a few sheep home as soon as she turned around.
When she returned home, she hurriedly went back and forth, her heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and she went to Feng Siqing's house without waiting for Boss Feng to come back.
"Mother, mother, are you feeling better?" Before she could enter the house, she shouted.
Yesterday's incident had already spread throughout the village, and the Feng Sijia had another battle at noon yesterday, and I heard that the old lady's money was lost and stolen by Ma Youlian.
Hey, this old lady is eccentric, so that the fourth inherits the old courtyard, a courtyard counts the ear room, there are five or six inside and out, if they let their family inherit, these will be hers.
Now the old lady was lying on the bed, with a sick face, and she was relieved when she looked at it:
"Mother, have you heard? Feng Yuchen's family is going to build a house, and they are going to build ten, I heard that Tong Xiaowu found the money to sell a pearl, mother? You were falsely accused by her of five taels of silver yesterday, can you really swallow this breath? ”
"What did you say with a thousand cuts? What can I do if I don't swallow it? So many people are watching, Zhao Lichang doesn't speak to us, and the human teeth are still in front of him, what do you say I can do? If you have the ability to go, if you can't bear it, you will grind less in the ear of the old lady, and if you grind again, your legs will be broken. ”
Mrs. Feng is a person who can't bear to be quick to speak.
"Mother, I have a way to make them unable to build ten houses, and let your mother get the money for ten houses for nothing, but mother, you can't miss my benefit fee when the time comes."
Mrs. Feng's eyes rolled, and she calculated, ten houses would cost at least more than forty taels of silver, right? Forty taels, the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and my body got better.
She ripped off the sweat towel on her head, sat up, and looked at the eldest daughter-in-law in front of her with a pair of inverted triangular eyes: "What do you do?" ”
"Who in this village doesn't know that my mother married a pearl back then......" Zhang Qinghua slowly spoke, with a wicked smile on her face.
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized, and she got up and walked out as soon as she walked out of the yard, and as soon as she walked out of the yard, she shouted, "Which one has suffered a thousand knives, and actually stole my pearls, it is really a lack of virtue and smoke, my pearls are ......."
Feng Siqing was not at home, and her sister-in-law Feng Yuer felt strange when she heard this, didn't the pearls that my mother married back then be sold? built three mud-tiled houses for each of the eldest brother and second brother, and then married a daughter-in-law for the fourth brother, how can there be one?
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Sister-in-law Feng Yuer couldn't help but ask.
"You go back to the house, this matter has nothing to do with you, you big girl don't mess around, so that you can find a good family, go back ......" The old lady's face turned pale, reprimanded, turned around and cried and shouted out of the yard.
This time, she studied well, and she was not in a hurry to go to Feng Yuchen's house to make trouble, but to publicize that she had lost her pearls all over the village, and she also went to Zhao Lichang's house to howl.
Zhao Lichang and Zhao Hongzhu were talking about things, and when they heard her say this, they all frowned.
"Chief, you have to make the decision for me, my pearl can be sold for a lot of money." Mrs. Feng cried and shouted at the same time, for fear that others would not hear her.
"Who has been to your house?"
"I went to the town yesterday morning, I don't know who went, don't you know what happened at Feng Yuchen's house later? At noon I came home and found that my pearls were gone, and I had a quarrel with my fourth daughter-in-law, and everyone heard about it, and I searched all over her house, but I didn't see my pearls. ”
Mrs. Feng said the Tao, as if she had really lost a pearl.
"Then why didn't you hear you say about losing pearls yesterday afternoon?" Zhao Lichang knocked on the pipe in his hand, and the matter of her losing five taels of silver spread throughout the village yesterday afternoon, and I heard that Feng Siqing's daughter-in-law took it.
If they don't come to him for their own affairs, he doesn't bother to take care of them.
"I lost it yesterday, I got sick later, I got better today, I came to you, you must make the ......decision for me," Mrs. Feng said, crying again.
"Mother, mother......" At this time, Zhang Yuhua hurriedly rushed in from outside the hospital, "I think of something, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yuhua quietly glanced at the elder glance, as if he was very mysterious.
Mrs. Feng glared at her, "If you have something to say, let it go, what do you want to do like this?" ”
