Si Yue on the side glanced at Mei Xiaotong, frowned and said: "These things are not suitable for her to eat now, and they are not replenished, but you can eat more red dates, soak them in water or throw a few into them when you are cooking soup, you can eat them like this." ”

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, and probably understood this truth, so she reluctantly agreed: "Then I won't prepare these things for my sister, but you have to keep the red dates." ”

In the end, Lilac had no choice but to take the red dates and prepare to go back with the medicine.

"Sister, I'll go with you, take me to your village by the way, and I'll have to build a workshop there when the time comes." Mei Xiaotong thought about it and decided to go over to see how that place was, mainly to see how the people in that village were doing.

Lilac originally disagreed, but Mei Xiaotong's excuse was so good that she had no room to refute, and Peony went to order someone to prepare the carriage.

Si Yue looked at Mei Xiaotong speechlessly: "I said that you are a natural hard worker, this just happened like this, you don't want to deal with people first?" ”

Why does this woman run outside every day? Still can't go out? She didn't go out for a day, and she was thankful.

Mei Xiaotong laughed dryly, looked at Si Yue and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry about this, go and see the place first, if it is appropriate, let people prepare, as for Xiahou's house, I still have two or three months to go, I can play slowly." ”

Si Yue looked at Mei Xiaotong's indifferent appearance, as if she saw Ji Ziqing, when Ji Ziqing said this lightly in the past, it was when that person was unlucky, I have to say that in some ways, Mei Xiaotong and Ji Ziqing are really too similar.

Stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, Si Yue looked at Mei Xiaotong seriously: "Bring the guards left by Ziqing for you, otherwise you can't go." ”

"Got it, long-winded."

Si Yue glared: "Who am I doing this for?" You're embarrassed to say such things to me. ”

Mei Xiaotong saw that Si Yuedu was already about to blow up, so she decisively turned her head to look at the people on the side, and said very seriously: "Is the carriage ready?" ”

"Madame is ready."

"Okay, let's go, Si Yue, you can watch the house." After saying that, he pulled the cloves and left.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong like this, Si Yue shook her head curiously, but seeing that she didn't seem to plan to tell Ji Ziqing about it, after thinking about it, she decided to tell him about it, and when the people from the province came, they would know it, so it would be a big deal.

Mei Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief when she went out, and it was a little strange to see her like this: "Isn't that your father-in-law?" ”

"Of course not, I didn't come here because of the business, it won't be until two months, and I'll introduce you to you when the time comes." Mei Xiaotong hurriedly shook her head, this misunderstanding is really a big deal, if Ji Ziqing knows, this vinegar jar won't turn the sky upside down?

Lilac was a little embarrassed, it seemed that she had misunderstood.

When the two got into the carriage, Lilac saw that there were a lot of things on the carriage, including cloth, meat, snacks, and all kinds of things.

"Su Ran ......"

"It's okay, it's all sold in my store." Mei Xiaotong

waved his hand indifferently and said very casually.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at Liucun, and when they got out of the car, they saw a lot of people watching around the side, and they didn't know what they were curious about.

"Sister Lilac, is this your home?" Mei Xiaotong looked at the house in front of her, it was not very good, but it was also clean and tidy, similar to her previous house.

"Well, it's a little shabby, don't mind." Lilac said with a smile.

"How so?"

The two of them went in as they spoke, with smiles on their faces, and at this time a person came out of it, that person belonged to the public face, and he was a person who might not be able to be hit in the crowd, and he was honest and honest, and he looked very good.

Ding Xiang saw the person and hurriedly walked over: "Brother Qian, this is Su Ran, Su Ran is my father-in-law Liu Qian." ”

"Hello brother-in-law, my name is Mei Xiaotong."

"Hello." Liu Qian was a little embarrassed, and there were some doubts in his heart, how did his own lady know this nobleman?

Ding Xiang briefly told them what they knew, and told him about Mei Xiaotong finding a doctor for her to look at her body.

"What's wrong with you, lady? Is there something uncomfortable? Liu Qian heard Lilac say that he was not feeling well, and he immediately became anxious, how can this be good?

Lilac's face was embarrassed, and then said: "No, Xianggong, you misunderstood, after knowing that I was not in good health, she asked her doctor to show me, and the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my body, as long as I take medicine to recuperate, I will be able to have a child in half a year." ”

Liu Qian was stunned, didn't those doctors say that they couldn't get pregnant anymore?

Hearing this news suddenly, Liu Qian really couldn't accept it: "This ...... It's true? ”

"Well, this is all my medicine for the past ten days, after taking it, I have to go to the pulse to change the prescription, and the doctor said that as long as I take care of my body, then I can have a child." Speaking of which, Lilac is still a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the relationship between the two was so good, Mei Xiaotong was suddenly unhappy, and she wanted to clear her mind.

"Look at me, I forgot about Su Ran, Su Ran come in and do it."

"Thank you so much." Liu Qian was sincerely grateful.

Mei Xiaotong waved her hand and said indifferently: "Don't be polite to me, I'm going to be angry if you're polite, brother-in-law, I'll tell you directly, I actually have other things to do today." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Liu Qian asked a little strangely.

Mei Xiaotong told her about her plan to open a workshop here, and then said, "Does my brother-in-law know if you have any contiguous fields for sale here?" I want the mountains and sandy land. "It doesn't need to be a good place to build a workshop.

Liu Qian thought for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, it's just a mile to the right of my house, the land in that place is too bad, and it hasn't been sold yet, if you want to buy it, the price won't be too expensive." ”

Mei Xiaotong was quite satisfied after hearing this, and then asked, "What does my brother-in-law think of the people in the village?" ”

"It's all good, except for some people who are more unforgiving and like to gossip, the people in the village are very simple

。 Liu Qian didn't think about it so much, and said directly.

Mei Xiaotong nodded, had a plan in her heart, thought about it, and then said: "After my workshop is built, how about my brother-in-law and sister come to my workshop to help me?" ”

Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were full of surprise: "This ...... Can it really be? ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "Naturally, I heard my sister say that my brother-in-law knows how to carpenter, and this craft is what I need." ”

"That Su Ran, can my eldest brother come?" Liu Qian was a little embarrassed, but still asked.

Eldest brother? Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, isn't the relationship between the two of them very bad?

"You misunderstood, our family and the eldest brother's family actually have a good relationship, but it was because we were too radical at the beginning that we handled the relationship as it is now, in fact, my mother-in-law still cares about us very much." Lilac hurriedly explained.

Mei Xiaotong frowned and looked at Lilac, and asked strangely, "Really?" She still thinks that their relationship with her in-laws should be very bad for such a thing?

Lilac nodded: "Really, it's just that mother-in-law and they are a little disappointed in us, right?" ”

Mei Xiaotong shrugged: "In that case, then okay, brother-in-law, can you take me to the village chief's house?" ”

Liu Qian nodded: "Okay, lady, you cook at home, I'll take my sister over." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qian took people to the village chief's house, but on the way there, the people in the village looked at Liu Qian with a strange look.

"Didn't he say he wouldn't marry someone else? How do you walk with other women now? It's okay to walk together, looking at the appearance of a woman has been pregnant for a long time, right? A woman next to her whispered.

"Who's to say it isn't? This woman is also a shameless and seducing other people's husbands. ”

When they heard this, their faces became very ugly, and they walked in front of the two women, raised their hands and slapped them twice: "Slander our wife, damn it." ”

Liu Qian frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Auntie, have you said enough?" She's just a lady my wife knows, and she's here to find the village chief. ”

The person who was beaten originally wanted to be angry, but after hearing Liu Qian's words, his expression suddenly became very embarrassed.

"That me...... I ......"

Mei Xiaotong glanced at the two people: "Trouble comes from the mouth, forget it if my maid beats you, but next time, I won't let you go like this." ”

When the two women heard Mei Xiaotong's words, their bodies stiffened slightly: "We know." ”

Even if they're angry, what's the matter? If it weren't for their own dishonesty, would they do it?

And there are also people on the side who are very sarcastic, these two people deserve it, aren't they broken-mouthed? Now try it again, shall we?

Mei Xiaotong glanced at the other party indifferently, and followed Liu Qian to the village chief's house.

The village chief of Liu Village saw that Liu Qian came to him with an outsider, and he was a little puzzled: "I don't know if Mrs. has something to do with us?" ”

"Well, I want to build two workshops here, I want to buy some land,

The land used to build the house is fine, but the place is larger. Mei Xiaotong looked at the village chief and didn't beat around the bush, and said directly.

When the village chief heard Mei Xiaotong's words, his face was full of excitement: "This ...... Is this true? ”

If they really built a workshop here, it would only be good for their village.

"Hmm." Mei Xiaotong nodded.

The village chief walked around happily, not knowing how to describe his attitude for a while.

Mei Xiaotong looked at the happy and incoherent village chief in front of her with a headache, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly: "Can the village chief trouble you to take me to see the place?" ”

"Absolutely." The village chief hurriedly said.

Mei Xiaotong smiled, and followed the village chief to the mountain not far from Liu Qian's house to take a look, this place is really suitable, it is close to the main road, not only that, there is also a road to that side.

"Madame, what do you think of here?" The village chief asked with some trepidation, this is the largest vacant land in their village, if it can't be done here, then this matter may be yellow.

Mei Xiaotong looked around, then nodded: "This place is very good, it's okay." ”

When the village chief heard Mei Xiaotong's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was satisfied, he was afraid that he would not be satisfied.

"Madame is still satisfied, isn't she?" The village chief looked at Mei Xiaotong and asked with some apprehension.

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "Well, is there anyone in the village who can build a house in the village chief?" ”

"Yes, it's Liu Qian's eldest brother, he is helping people build houses, but he is doing carpentry, but he knows people." The village chief hurriedly spoke.

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "Okay, how did the village chief sell this land?" ”

"Three taels of silver is an acre, there are a total of ten acres of land here." The village chief hurriedly said.

Mei Xiaotong glanced at Peony, and Peony gave the village chief thirty-five taels of silver: "The village chief's title deed will trouble you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll be able to help you do it tomorrow." The village chief hurriedly spoke, this land deed will not cost so much money.

Mei Xiaotong ruined Liu Qian's house after saying goodbye to the village chief, and when he passed, there were two old people.

The two old men looked a little serious, but Liu Qian's eyes were also angry, and Liu Qian was helpless.

"Mother, it's really not what they say, Su Ran is the person who the lady went to the city to meet today, and she is the benefactor of our family, it's really not what they say, besides, Su Ran is a fair-minded." Liu Qian explained with a headache.

The woman turned to Lilac: "Is that so?" ”

Lilac reluctantly explained the matter: "Mother is like this, she asked Brother Qian to take her to the village chief for the sake of the workshop here, and it is not what they said at all." ”

Mei Xiaotong listened to their words, and knew that they had misunderstood, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, sure enough, the troublemakers could still be seen everywhere.

"Hello aunt and uncle." Mei Xiaotong walked over and said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, madam." The woman hurriedly spoke.

Mei Xiaotong shook her head lightly, not interested in this matter

What do you care about: "Brother-in-law, is your eldest brother at home?" I have something to ask him for help. ”

"Yes, I didn't live today, my eldest brother is at home." Liu Qian nodded hurriedly.

Father Liu, who didn't speak on the side, knew what Mei Xiaotong meant after a little thought: "The second brother is going to call your eldest brother over." ”

"Oh."

After a while, Liu Qian's eldest brother came, and Mei Xiaotong did not beat around the bush with them, but directly said what she meant.

When he heard Mei Xiaotong say that he wanted to ask them for help, Boss Liu's eyes were full of surprise: "Madame means that she wants us to help build the workshop, right?" ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded: "That's what you think." ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll go find someone today, and it just so happens that our work is done." Boss Liu said with a smile.

Mei Xiaotong nodded, and then turned her head to look at Liu Qian on the side: "Brother-in-law can also be together, and you can also think that people are good, I hope it can be built soon." ”

"Okay, my brothers are all good." Liu Qian thought for a moment, and then said.

"Brother-in-law, you can do it yourself, I don't care about this, Brother Liu went to find someone today, I'll come over tomorrow morning, tell you how to build, and then give you money, I only accept it, don't care about anything else, the salary can be higher, no matter the food." Mei Xiaotong has no interest in these things, and it is naturally best if someone can help.

Everyone in the Liu family looked at Mei Xiaotong blankly, is this really rich and capricious?

"Ma'am, we should go back." Bend came over at this time and spoke.

Mei Xiaotong looked at Wanwan with a headache, she didn't seem to have taken a nap today, so she was grabbed by Wanwan.

Reaching out and rubbing her eyebrows, Mei Xiaotong turned her head and said to Ding Xiang: "Sister, I'll come back tomorrow, I'll go back first." ”

"Su Ran will go back after eating? I'm going to be ready right away. Ding Xiang didn't expect Mei Xiaotong to go back so soon.

Mei Xiaotong shook her head: "No, I've been busy all day today, and I haven't rested, I'm a little tired and sleepy at this time." Mei Xiaotong reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, and said helplessly.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong like this, Ding Xiang could only nod: "That's okay, but you have to take care of yourself." ”

"Don't worry."

After greeting a few people in the family, Mei Xiaotong left with the bends, and after the others left, Liu's mother sighed and said, "What a good person, we have met a noble person." ”

The most important thing is that it also solves her heart disease, and the youngest son will have an heir in the future, which is the most important thing.

"yes."

Mei Xiaotong leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, while Peony asked curiously, "Madame likes Mrs. Lilac?" ”

"Well, it's fine." Mei Xiaotong nodded, she couldn't say how much she liked it, but because she saved her, she didn't mind helping, it was as simple as that.

Peony listened to Mei Xiaotong's words, and immediately understood what Mei Xiaotong meant, I have to say that Lilac is really lucky, because she saved Mei Xiaotong to get such an opportunity, but it is also because she is kind enough that she has everything today.

Go home

After that, Mei Xiaotong went to rest after eating some things, and slept until the night before waking up.

The result of sleeping too much was that Mei Xiaotong couldn't sleep at night, and they looked at Mei Xiaotong and said helplessly: "Madam, you can't do this next time." ”

"I don't want to." Who knew that it would be dark as soon as she slept, and these girls didn't even call her.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Mei Xiaotong felt sleepy, and the next morning she overslept again, and when she arrived in Liucun, it was almost time for lunch.

"Brother Liu, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Mei Xiaotong looked at the people waiting for her in the house and said embarrassedly.

"It's fine."

Mei Xiaotong looked at another person in the room: "Is this the contractor?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll tell you the pattern, and then you calculate how much money you need." Mei Xiaotong said her request, and after listening to it, the contractor had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Mei Xiaotong looked at the other party and didn't interrupt, and the contractor looked at Mei Xiaotong: "How much salary does Madam plan to give?" ”

"Eighty wen for big workers, fifty wen for small workers, no food." The price is generally much higher, and they are very satisfied.

"The bricks and tiles cost more than forty taels, plus the wages, and some others, about a hundred taels of silver." The contractor calculated, and then spoke.
