From afar, I saw Zhang Li waiting at the gate of the fence courtyard, and there was a dim light in the house, which felt a little warm.

"You're finally back, quick, pack up and go inside for dinner." Zhang Li greeted.

"What about buying so many things?" Zhang Li asked in surprise as he looked at the mountains of things on the ox cart.

"Mother, we bought fish fry and chickens, and my sister-in-law said that I can raise two chickens by myself." Zhang Dandan ran forward and hugged Zhang Li's waist and said.

"That's good, Dandan will have his own chicks in the future, you have to take care of them." Zhang Li said lovingly.

"By the way, mother, we also brought food for you and the third sister." Zhang Dandan suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and went to the car to bring over the food he bought at the market today.

Not only sugar gourds, but also pastries from some small stalls.

"Mother, eat quickly, we've all eaten." Zhang Dandan picked up a quick cake and handed it to Zhang Li's mouth.

"Dandan also eats." Zhang Li couldn't resist Zhang Dandan, took a small bite, and pushed the rest back to Zhang Dandan's mouth.

"Mother, you eat, we've all eaten." Zhang Dandan shook his head stubbornly.

In the interval between the two talking, Zhang Jihan and Liu Meiniang had already moved all the things on the ox cart.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do with these fish?" Looking at the dense fish fry in the crockpot, Zhang Jihan was worried, and now he was afraid that it would be too late to go up the mountain.

"Wait for me to get to those pots in the kitchen." After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she went into the kitchen and turned out a few larger basins.

"Pour it in." Liu Meiniang said to Zhang Jihan.

Zhang Jihan picked up the crockpot and poured all the fish fry inside into the pot.

Zhang Jihan was placing the fish, and Liu Meiniang took advantage of the fact that a few people were not paying attention to it and went to the kitchen to find a scoop, poured a little spiritual spring water into it, diluted it into a basin and brought it out, and poured some into each pot containing fish fry.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do with these chickens?" Zhang Dandan squatted on the edge of the cage and said.

"Let them stay in there for the night, it'll be fine." Liu Meiniang said.

"Oh, okay," Mr. Zhang said.

"Let's go inside and eat." Zhang Li urged.

"Come on, mother." Liu Meiniang said.

"You go and bring the food to your third sister." Liu Meiniang looked at the food left in the basket and said to Zhang Dandan.

"Okay." Zhang Dandan pouted and said.

"Go quickly, come back and eat when you're done."

Zhang Dandan picked up the contents of the basket and walked towards Zhang Tongtong's room.

"Third sister, this is what we bought today, you can eat it quickly." Zhang Dandan stood at the door and said.

"I've bought so many things, it's really a loser." Zhang Tongtong also did not hide that she was watching the yard by the window.

"It's all used to sell it for money later." Zhang Dandan doesn't know much about Liu Meiniang's circular farming, but she knows that if Liu Meiniang's success is successful, she will definitely sell it for a lot of money.

"Hmph, you believe whatever that woman says." Zhang Tongtong put his hands around his chest and looked at Zhang Dandan sarcastically.

"Sister-in-law is the most powerful." Zhang Dandan retorted.

"Hmph, I don't see where she is powerful, she will only spend money indiscriminately and spend our Zhang family's money." Zhang Tongtong glanced at Zhang Dandan.

"Sister-in-law does these things for the Zhang family!" After Zhang Dandan finished speaking, he put things on the table and ran out.

"Cut!" Zhang Tongtong also turned around and lay on the bed.

Listening to the laughter coming from next door, Zhang Tongtong got up and threw all the things on the table outside the courtyard.

Several people eating in the hall heard the movement and tacitly chose to ignore it.

"I'll take a look outside." Zhang Li rubbed his hands and stood up.

Seeing the things thrown in the yard, Zhang Li sighed, bent down and picked them up one by one.

The sugar gourd is inedible, it is all dirt, and some pastries are wrapped in oiled paper and are not stained.

"Tongtong." Zhang Li walked to the door of Zhang Tongtong's room and called.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Tongtong asked in a bad tone.

"What are you throwing all this for?" Zhang Li checked the things in his hand.

"If you want to throw it away, I won't eat that woman's things." Zhang Tongtong sat up from the bed.

"What that woman, she's your sister-in-law." Zhang Li said in a stern tone.

Zhang Tongtong didn't react, sitting on the edge of the bed and playing with her hair.

"How did you become like this now?" Zhang Li hated that iron does not become steel.

"What has become of me? It's that you've all changed, and you've all been bewitched by Liu Meiniang. Zhang Tongtong heard Zhang Li say this, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

"How many times have I said that your eldest brother was killed in battle, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, who would have expected that from the day your eldest brother went to join the army, I was ready for this. Your eldest brother died in battle, Mei Niang didn't think about it when she came to our house for a day, and she worked day and night, seeing that the life of the Zhang family is getting better and better, why are you becoming more and more stubborn? Zhang Li said so much in one breath.

"Mother, it's that woman who killed the eldest brother, and you're still helping her talk." Zhang Tongtong looked at Zhang Li in disbelief.

"Tongtong, in two years, you will also reach the age of marriage, think about it, if it were you, would you be able to do what Mei Niang did?" Zhang Li's words silenced Zhang Tongtong.

"It's her who killed the eldest brother, you don't have to say good things for her, if it weren't for her, maybe the eldest brother would be a general now, and our family wouldn't be what it is now." Zhang Tong shouted loudly.

"You!" Zhang Li raised his hand and prepared to hit Zhang Tongtong.

"You're beating, you're going to beat me for that woman again, aren't you?" Zhang Tongtong looked at Zhang Li with wide eyes.

"Ugh." Zhang Li sighed heavily, and finally turned around and walked out of the room.

Seeing Zhang Li leaving you, Zhang Tongtong's tears fell, she wiped it heavily, turned around and lay on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

After eating early the next morning, Liu Meiniang took Zhang Jihan and Zhang Tongtong with chickens and went up the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, do we want to circle a piece of land first?" Zhang Jihan turned around and looked around.

"What do you think?" Liu Meiniang clasped her hands and pondered.

"I was thinking that we would circle the mulberry forest to the fish pond first, after all, the chickens are still small now, and it is easy to lose them when they are completely stocked, so we will first circle a piece of open land and raise them, and then release them when they grow up. And now there are some places in the mountains that I don't know if there are foxes or something......"

Zhang Jihan was very thoughtful. Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jihan with appreciation, why did he suddenly find that this young man was quite business-minded.

The fry are all put into the fish pond by several people, and they are put down from the four corners of the fish pond, although the types of fish are different, but these kinds of fish can be raised together.

After the fry were released, several people went to cut down branches and set up a fence.

The chickens are still small, and the fence doesn't need to be too big, but because of the large area, a few people worked all morning to get it done. Zhang Dandan also intimately found birch bark and made a shed for the chicks. Although there were several big trees in the protected area, Liu Meiniang still did not hit Zhang Dandan.

Zhang Tongtong stayed at home for a while, the family went out, Zhang Li went to find Aunt Li, Zhang Jihan and the three of them went up the mountain, she was bored alone, picked up Zhang Dandan, Zhang Jihan, Zhang Li's changed clothes and went to the river. Only I didn't take Liu Meiniang.

"You say. What is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family doing? "There are still a lot of women washing clothes by the river.

"Who knows? It doesn't seem to be something that serious people do. ”

It was Zhao Guifen, another famous long-tongued woman in the village, who spoke, and another village woman named Lotus.

"I'm afraid they don't know what the people in the village are scolding them for." Zhao Guifen seemed very proud.

Zhao Guifen and Zhang Jilin are the same age, a girl from a neighboring village, most people in the village know that Zhao Guifen liked Zhang Jilin when she was not married, and once came from a neighboring village to find Zhang Jirin, it is said that she proposed marriage, but Zhang Jilin refused.

finally married another guy in Liuhe Village.

For Liu Meiniang, who finally married Zhang Jilin, Zhao Guifen was full of resentment and jealousy. always ruins Liu Meiniang's reputation regardless of the occasion and place.

"What are the people in the village scolding?" Lotus apparently didn't know about it.

"Think about it, Liu Meiniang suddenly bought a mountain and hired workers, this has to be a lot of money, where did her money come from? Hmph, he looks like a fox. Zhao Guifen rolled her eyes after speaking.

"This ...... So where did her money come from? Lotus asked with a wicked smile.

"Didn't you think of it all? I'm embarrassed to say that kind of place. Zhao Guifen glared at the lotus flower angrily.

"Really? It's quite good at pretending all day long, pretending to be high, but I didn't expect it, tsk tsk...... "Lotus grinned.

"And the Zhang family, it doesn't seem to be a good person now." Zhao Guifen continued.

"What's wrong with the Zhang family?"

"Brother Ji Rin has passed away, and the Zhang family is now being turned around by a woman, but I saw it that day, Zhang Jihan followed Liu Meiniang like a dog, and I don't know ......." Zhao Guifen didn't say anything more halfway through, and gestured to the lotus with her eyes.

"Alas, then Liu Meiniang is so nonsense, let's stay away from the Zhang family, lest they stick to us in the future." Lotus said with palpitations.

"It's not, anyway, now the people in the village are saying, hey, what a family, now ......"

Zhang Tongtong stood next to him with a laundry tub and listened for a long time, his face was blue and white.

Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to stop, and the more they talked, the more they went too far, they actually said that there was an adulterous affair between Zhang Jihan and Liu Meiniang, and Zhang Tongtong couldn't bear it anymore.

put down the laundry tub, picked up a big stone by the river, and threw it at the river water in front of Zhao Guifen and Lotus.

Of course, she didn't dare to throw a stone directly on the two of them now, although she would love to.

"Oh, who!"

"Which little hooves get out of here." Zhao Guifen touched the water on her face and scolded.

"Zhang Tongtong, you slut, why did you throw a stone into the water, splashing me all over, and my clothes are wet." Zhao Guifen said with a sharp voice.

"Less chewing on the root of the tongue behind your back." Zhang Tongtong said coldly.

"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, you're afraid that people will chew the root of your tongue, so don't do it yourself if you have the ability." Zhao Guifen said sarcastically.

"That's it, that's it." The lotus echoed to.

"What does it have to do with you, I know how to gossip all day long." Zhang Tongtong shouted loudly.

"Cut" Zhao Guifen glanced at Zhang Tongtong with disdain.

Zhang Tongtong glared at the two viciously, and went to the upper reaches of the river with a basin.

When washing clothes, Zhang Tongtong beat the clothes fiercely, as if the clothes were Liu Meiniang.

"Harm people, harm people. Harmful spirits! Zhang Tongtong shouted while thrashing.

"It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, my eldest brother wouldn't have died, if it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have become the joke of the whole village, it's all your fault." Zhang Tongtong said angrily.

When Zhang Tongtong went back with the washed clothes, Liu Meiniang and the three of them happened to come down from the mountain.

Seeing Zhang Tongtong go to wash clothes, Liu Meiniang's heart flashed with a hint of appreciation, it seems that Zhang Tongtong is not so incorrigible.

But Zhang Tongtong saw Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan, and Zhang Dandan talking and laughing over, and the anger in Zhang Tongtong's heart suddenly reached the highest point.
