As he spoke, he picked up the sickle in his hand and wanted to search for it, but the old man and the old lady Liu were already dumbfounded, not to mention stepping forward to stop her, and she wanted to hide directly behind her.

Li Zheng glared at them angrily, and said angrily, "Whose descendant is this, does he understand the rules?" If something is clear, how can anyone search for someone when they enter the house? ”

Old man Zhu stretched out his hand and pulled the latter child, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "Brother Chen, we are a little reckless to come today, but this is also a last resort. Xiaomei of the old Sun family in our village can't be found, and at noon, someone saw the second child of the Liu family walking around in front of the courtyard of the Sun family, so I brought someone to ask if Xiaomei came over... Visited? ”

This old man Zhu said a few words tactfully, but no one in the room was a fool, how could an unmarried girl casually go to a stranger's house to be a "guest", I can't say that there must be some reason for this.

Chen Lizheng glanced at each other with several clan elders, his face was very dark, they couldn't find Liu Shuisheng here, and now the Sun family came to the door to ask for a daughter. You don't have to guess to know that this Liu Shuisheng must have eloped with the money and kidnapped other people's daughters!

Mrs. Liu heard that people came to look for her daughter, and she was stupid enough to make a mistake for others, so she had the courage to scold, "The girl in your village can't be found, what are you looking for at our house?" My son is still lost, how can I have time to help you? ”

When Old Man Zhu heard this, he immediately grabbed the handle, glared and said, "Liu Shuisheng, this kid has no shadow anymore?" Okay, this is clearly that he kidnapped the daughter of the Sun family, we have to talk about this matter today! ”

Li Zheng and several old men were so angry that they couldn't knock out Mrs. Liu with a stick, and scolded in a low voice, "Your head is made of elm, why can't you figure it out?" Your aquatic family must have had some dealings with the daughter of the Sun family for a long time, and today when he saw that he had caused trouble, he rolled up the family's money and ran away with his daughter. ”

"You talk nonsense! We also said that we would marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a grandson for me, how could he leave me and his father and run away..."

Li Zheng was so angry that Mrs. Liu's face darkened with anger, and after thinking about it, he felt that the Liu family didn't know how to lift, and he really couldn't help. So he flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Okay, I'm talking nonsense!" Then you can find a sensible person, this matter is left in the village, you can deal with it yourself! ”

After he said this, he took a group of old men and villagers who had been impatient for a long time to hula and disperse.

The old couple of the Liu family were a little panicked now, and they wanted to go out to plead and apologize, but unfortunately the old man Zhu stopped them and said, "Do you want to run away together?" Liu Shuisheng kidnapped Xiaomei, you have to give an explanation no matter what today, otherwise you won't want to get out of this yard! ”

Old man Liu was annoyed in his heart, and scolded him, "To give you a bullshit, our son is gone!" Maybe it was that Xiaomei who seduced our son..."

The young descendant Xu is Xiaomei's brother, and without waiting for Old Man Liu to finish speaking, he jumped up with a snort, grabbed his collar and scolded, "You are an old immortal, you dare to pour dirty water on my sister's head, are you easy to bully when we are the old Sun family?" As he spoke, he turned his head and called out to the dozen or so descendants behind him, "The brothers are all smashing me, my mother is crying at home and her eyes are going blind, and their Liu family doesn't want to live a quiet life!" ”

Those descendants are all young and vigorous, only afraid that things will be small and boring, how can they be afraid that things will be out of control, as soon as they heard this, they suddenly responded and raised the flat pole and other things in their hands and crackled and smashed open.

The old man and the old lady Liu were so anxious that they stomped their feet and scolded loudly, but it was a pity that no one would pay attention. In the end, they saw that everything in the house was in shambles, not to mention the cabinets, tables and chairs, and even the chicken coop in the corner of the courtyard was trampled flat.

The latter saw that he was almost smacked, so he quietly exchanged glances with Old Man Zhu, and Old Man Zhu stepped forward to play a round and said, "Brother Liu, this kid from the Sun family also feels sorry for his sister, and he acted recklessly." However, it is really wrong for your family to abduct the daughter of the Sun family. No matter what you say about this, you Liu family must have an explanation. It's too late today, so let's talk about it, and we'll have an explanation tomorrow. ”

The latter kicked the chair next to him and kicked it apart, and echoed viciously, "Hmph, if you don't give an explanation, it won't be a thing next time, maybe it's someone's head!" ”

The old man and the old lady Liu were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they huddled together in a trembling place, seeing these fierce queens walking away from the yard, the two of them couldn't care about closing the door, so they ran to Da'er's house.

It's just that they finally knew that Da'er was reliable, but Liu Housheng was so dead that he plunged into the greenhouse and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Chunni was even more distressed that her man was beaten and scolded in front of everyone, and asked her brother and sister-in-law to turn off the lights early, and then went to sleep in the grass room. The old man and the old lady Liu knocked on the courtyard door desperately and shouted loudly, but no one answered in the courtyard of the Liu family.

Old man Liu was angry and anxious, and wanted to jump over the stone wall, but the old arms and legs were useless, and he fell down halfway through, almost breaking the skeleton.

Mrs. Liu rarely opened her mind this time, and guessed that Da'er must not want to see them, so she scolded and helped the old man to go home, thinking that Da'er would always open the door at dawn tomorrow morning, and when the time came, they cried twice and said two good words to coax him to bear the trouble at home.

They played a good calculation, but unfortunately the next morning before they went out, they were blocked at home by the people of Yangshu Village, arguing and arguing for a long time before they could say one, two, three, and the shopkeeper Sun of Fuguilou came to collect debts with a look of disgrace. However, this time there was no servant behind him, and the hired carriage was also full of luggage, and he looked like he was about to go away.

It turned out that Qian Dafu heard that the vegetable business was ruined last night, and in anger, he didn't think about the hard work of Shopkeeper Sun for many years, so he immediately drove him out. Shopkeeper Sun opened his mouth to ask for pension silver, but Qian Dafu was even more simply, and directly "rewarded" him with the Liu family's arrears. Shopkeeper Sun was so angry that he couldn't help it, so he was counting on rushing back to his hometown in the south to care for the elderly after asking for money today.

The two parties gathered together, the Liu family was completely lively, and the families in the village heard the sound of scolding from time to time in the courtyard, and they all drove their children to find out the news under curiosity, but they refused to show up.

Old man and Mrs. Liu were forced to be like ants on a hot pot, and they had the heart to make friends, but the youngest son was nowhere to be found, and they had the heart to repay the money, and there was nothing left in the deposit. The two had to take turns to stay as hostages, and the remaining one ran to the house of Li Zheng and several old men to beg them to come forward to help them turn around. But several old men either used the excuse of the cold or the leg pain to be bad at walking, and Li Zheng also avoided going out. When I finally turned to Da'er's house, I didn't even enter the gate.

Old man and old lady Liu drooped their heads when they hit a wall everywhere, and their hair turned gray completely in one day. In the evening, the people of Yangshu Village dispersed with cruel words, and the shopkeeper Sun also took the coachman to the neighbor's house to stay overnight, waiting for them to give an explanation tomorrow.

The old couple sat alone in the hall, relatively speechless, and finally began to reflect on how they ended up in such a situation today, what have they done wrong during this period of time, and even all these years? Why is the eldest child like a passerby with them, and the most beloved child also rolled up the money and flew away, leaving them alone, and even the people in the village are cold eyes and ridicule...

In the winter night, the lonely cold wind whistled over the mountain village, and countless large and small snow particles were crackled and smashed on the window lattice, and the ears of sleepless people became clearer and clearer. In the main room of the Zhang family, a light is like a bean, Pu Cao sits in the bright light and carefully notes the daily accounts, occasionally reaching out to cover the quilt for the two sleeping children, his face is peaceful and warm.

Chun Nier felt upset no matter how she thought about it, so she simply sat up in her clothes, took Pu Cao's hand and asked in a low voice, "Pu Cao, do you think I'm stupid and breathable?" I usually hate my mother-in-law so much for treating my family and giving birth to children, but now I see them being persecuted like this, why do I feel uncomfortable? ”

Pu Cao closed the account book, picked up the pen and ink, stripped and lay down beside her and said with a smile, "On weekdays, you always scold me for being soft-hearted and bullying, but in fact, you are even worse and better." I think it's a good thing to let your in-laws taste the taste of betrayal and separation this time, and when those people make the most trouble tomorrow, you and your son will come forward to arrange it, pick up a small dowry and send it to the Sun family, admit that the girl is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and barely cover up the shame of Yangshu Village, it is estimated that the Sun family will not be able to make trouble. As for the shopkeeper Sun, he has been dismissed by Fuguilou, and he must be in a hurry to return to his hometown, how can he have the kung fu to grind here, drag him for a few days, and maybe give him a few taels of silver, and get the deed paper back. ”

Chun Nier heard that Pu Cao's calculations were so clear, so she let go of the big stone in her heart, and complained with a long sigh of relief, "You dead girl, why didn't you tell me earlier, so I haven't eaten and slept well for the past two days." ”

Pu Cao was funny, groped and reached out to pinch her, and said with a smile, "You know how to eat and sleep all day long, and you are about to become a pig." Don't worry about this, get up tomorrow morning and persuade you to have a child, pretending to be a virtuous daughter-in-law. ”

"Hmph, I'm a virtuous daughter-in-law, and I still need to pretend." The two laughed for a while, discussed the meal for tomorrow morning, and slowly fell asleep.

It's a pity that Pucao is not a real immortal in the end, no matter how well she calculates, there will always be a time when something will go wrong.

The neighbor next door to the Liu family doesn't know if it's because they live closest to the Liu family, and they are also tainted with the Liu family's stinginess. Last night, I entertained Sun Zhang's shopkeeper and the coachman to eat and live, and the neighbor's wife felt very at a loss. Early in the morning, he brought a clay pot to the door, pondered and knocked on Mrs. Liu for a few words, and also begged for some food to go back.

I didn't want her to shout that there was no one in the house, so the old woman pushed the door and broke in. As a result, the next moment a sharp exclamation resounded throughout Nangou Village...
