Chapter 34: Debt Collection

"Little Nizi, how do you speak? Yes! Do you say that about your brother? Hearing Gu Lin's rebuttal, Peach Blossom Niang pinched Peach Blossom fiercely, and at this moment, Peach Blossom was really crying, and tears rushed out.

Peach Blossom Niang didn't care what others said, as soon as she turned her face, she cried and shouted: "Oh, Dawa, you misunderstood my son, he was framed, he is usually so honest, how could he be arrested as a traitor, he can't know people clearly." ”

Looking at the peach blossom girl who was sitting on the ground and pounding the ground, Gu Lin was a big man who couldn't reply.

"In that case, why didn't the Peach Blossom Family help? He's powerful and powerful, isn't a mouth better than a big brother? If your relatives don't help, how can you let us help? Besides, we have nothing in our house, nothing we can do to help. Seeing that Gu Lin was not good at replying, Xia Ting had no choice but to come forward.

"You talk nonsense. Didn't you make money selling sour jam a while ago, how could you have no money? Shut up, you ruthless slut. In the nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth. ”

Peach Blossom Niang raised her voice, and compared with Gu Lin and Xia Ting's calm rebuttal, it seemed to be magnificent.

Feelings are for money. It's strange, although Peach Blossom is a concubine, but from a big family, it stands to reason that she won't treat her badly, and there should be no problem in bringing some good ones to her mother's family. However, it is also possible that the sour jam business has been doing quite well recently, and it has been jealous.

Thinking like this, Xia Ting's eyes suddenly cleared.

"Heh, don't you also make a lot of money from this? How many people are in my family? Don't need money, something happened a while ago, don't want money? Who doesn't know that our family is poor, and you came to us to ask for money? Peach Blossom didn't come back with silk a while ago? Isn't it worth much to sell? ”

"Oh, the peach blossom came back a while ago, brought silk, and showed off in the village for a long time. I'm embarrassed to ask someone for money. ”

"That's right, Fourth Sister-in-law Gu didn't have an accident a few days ago? My man was there at the time and came back and said he was not clear. And that distant cousin is also ......"

"Shhhhhh However, Peach Blossom Niang is indeed excessive, obviously looking for someone to rely on, and pit money. ”

As soon as Xia Ting said, the hearts of the villagers suddenly turned to their side, and they blamed their mother and daughter. Peach Blossom has been pampered since she was a child, although she has been scolded by her mother a lot, but she has never seen this meeting, and she can't help but be a little scared, "Mother, why don't we go back." ”

"Let's go, save yourself from polluting everyone's eyes here, sneer, it's just that." Wang's sister-in-law shouted, holding a broom in her hand to drive them away, but Peach Blossom Niang saw that the villagers were not helping her, so she lost her momentum and got up from the ground in embarrassment, not caring about patting the mud and dust on her body, and ran away quickly while scolding Peach Blossom.

When the villagers saw that the farce was over, they also dispersed and went back to their homes.

Xia Ting stepped forward to thank Sister-in-law Wang and Chunhua for their help just now.

Sister-in-law Wang patted her hand and said, "What's the matter, it's just you, who drove away the shameless mother and daughter." Don't be polite to them next time, they are not good stubble, especially Peach Blossom Niang, they will not give up, what is there to find us. ”

Xia Ting nodded in agreement, and after greeting for a while, they were going home to cook.

When they returned to the yard, Gu Yu and the others were already cooking, and she had nothing to do. Thinking of the trouble just now, the eldest lady must have heard it very clearly and remembered it in her heart. She went to talk to her aunt for a while, and only when she saw the guilt on her face fade, she was relieved. Since the eldest lady injured her leg, she consciously dragged down the family, and if she didn't make it clear, Xia Ting was afraid that she would blame herself.

Halfway through the meal, Gu Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I just went to the village chief's house, and there is no compensation for my mother's injury, just this matter, we will go to the town with the village chief tomorrow to seek justice." ”

Xia Ting was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so sudden. She thought the dead cat was going to eat like this. She heard that the weaving spinning that the eldest mother went to work was opened by a powerful person in the capital, and she couldn't afford to offend.

After thinking about it, the village chief did a good job, and he sought justice from them.

"Okay, I'll go pack my bags for tomorrow." Xia Ting hurriedly finished his meal and went to clean up.

After dinner, when everyone finished eating and doing their own work, he was arrested alone, and Xia Ting stopped in front of him.

Since the peach blossom girl and they finished making trouble, Gu Lin's face has been in an indifferent stage, looking like no one is close. "You shouldn't have talked to that farce just now, what if the two of them target you?" Gu Lin's face was calm and a little depressed.

Xia Ting shook his hand and soothed, "Big brother, I will also live here in the future." I can't avoid seeing them with them, I can avoid them for a while, but I can't avoid them for a lifetime. If you want to hate it early, it's not too late. Xia Ting saw that his face was getting better, and struck while the iron was hot, "I believe that if they bully me, you won't sit idly by, right?" I'm sure you'll protect me. ”

Gu Lin was helpless, looked at the woman with a flattering face, and touched her head, "I'll go and prepare bath water for you." ”

Hahahahaha, it seems that coquettish reasoning is effective for both brothers, Xia Ting's eyes rolled, and he laughed playfully.

Tomorrow I went to the town to collect debts, and the eldest brother didn't tell her that she would go too, but this matter, she wanted to follow, and by the way, she went to the ceramic shop to find the boss to make another pattern of the clay pot, and next time she wanted to make green plum sauce, the bottle would have to be replaced.

Thinking so, Xia Ting also proposed it to Gu Lin: "Big brother, I want to go to the town tomorrow too." ”

Gu Lin took off his coat and was about to go to bed, and only replied after a while: "There may be a conflict tomorrow, maybe I can't take care of you." Moreover, the mother needs to be taken care of at home. ”

"I know. Ah Bong doesn't stay at home? He is much better now and can take care of his mother. If there is a conflict tomorrow, I promise to stay away and not let myself be hurt and worry you. I swear. Xia Ting pretended to be serious and kicked three fingers to the sky, looking sincere.

As everyone knows, in ancient times, people valued swearing very much, Gu Lin immediately broke off her fingers and scolded in a low voice: "Swearing that there is nothing to do is not good, it angers God, it is not good." ”

Xia Ting stuck out his tongue and said in the same low voice: "Then did you agree?" ”

Gu Lin thought about it and knew her character of not giving up, even if she stayed at home, I am afraid that she would not be at ease. It's better to watch it around.

"Okay. Tomorrow you will follow me, and if there is danger, run immediately. ”

……

Xia Ting got up early in the morning, and when the two brothers got up, she felt it, and they got up with it.

Xia Ting said hello to the eldest brother and went to Su Feng, she wanted to tell Su Feng to pay attention, the eldest mother still has to take medicine regularly.

The process was smooth, making Xia Ting feel a little uncomfortable. Usually when chatting in private, he is always prickly, this time so docile, it's too weird.

"Have you been feeling unwell lately? If there's anything that doesn't go your way, you can also tell me about it. ”

Su Feng narrowed his eyes, hid the emotions in his eyes, and said, "If the door is not stepped, what can be wrong." Is your health good...... Don't you know that too? ”

Tsk, look at what that's said...... She can't take it. She always felt that Su Feng was a little sullen, and she wanted to say it a few times, but she was afraid of being beaten by this cautious man.

Seeing Xia Ting's constipated look, Su Feng finally had the pleasure of succeeding in his treacherous scheme, "I know what you said, it's not too early, it will take some time to go to the town, you can also go and prepare." ”

Xia Ting got the pardon order, and immediately went down the ladder and ran away.

She was crazy to care about him. It's really uncomfortable to get along with him in private, so let's avoid it if you can avoid it in the future.

Su Feng watched Xia Ting run away, his eyes sparkling, sliding through the flowing colors like water ripples, and his expression was uncertain.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, there was only one woman in the audience, Xia Ting, and the village chief looked at Gu Lin disapprovingly, and said, "Dawa, I don't know what danger there is this time, you still take your daughter-in-law with you?" ”

Gu Lin pursed his lips and looked at Xia Ting. He didn't want to, in case the conversation collapsed, the knife was blindless...... "Erwa and I will be optimistic about her." ”

Xia Ting breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Lin still chose to respect her ideas and let her go.

"I'll go to the ceramics shop to buy something, and I won't trouble you." Xia Ting realized at this time whether he was really dragging his feet, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he had to promise again and again.

Gu Lin took advantage of everyone's inattention, patted her hand comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'll take care of it." You won't be blamed. ”

Xia Ting lowered his head, looked at the big bronze hands that wrapped his hands, and calmed down. He had never done any intimate behavior to her in front of everyone before, so was this a breakthrough?

Gu Yu silently looked at their ten-fingered clasped hands, and for a long time, he twisted his head to the side and did not speak.

"Go shopping later, let the second baby accompany you." When he was about to arrive in the town, Gu Lin suddenly announced. He still didn't feel at ease that Ah Ting was out alone.

"No, I'll just wait for you at the ceramics shop, I won't run around." Xia Ting thought about it and excused himself. She felt that her eldest brother needed more manpower on her side.

The ceramic shop was not far from the meeting point, and Xia Ting stood at the door and watched them walk away, his brows tangled together, hoping that they could successfully recover the 10 yuan.

Xia Ting ordered 100 ceramic jars as usual. She had seen it in the mountains before, and there were a lot of green plum trees, and the wild green plums were too sour, and few families would pick them. In this case, there are not enough clay pots for brewing green plum sauce at home, so she bought two large porcelain jars, plus two at home, which is enough for the time being. gave 220 money, and it was still delivered to the door.

Because Xia Ting ordered a lot of clay pots before, and her credit was relatively good, she was more familiar with the store. She saw a new product, which still looked like a human-like gourd, and it was a little cute, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks. Seeing that she was interested, the shopkeeper pushed the boat down the river and said, "How is it?" Interested? You can take a non-floating color back and look at it to see if you are interested in entering this product? ”

When Xia Ting saw this, he was better off obeying his fate. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving the store, the shopkeeper chatted casually.

"You haven't been in town these days, and it's said that we've got a big guy here. There are a lot of fresh faces, but I haven't seen their faces until now. While calculating the abacus, the shopkeeper told Xia Ting all the gossip in the town recently.

Women are born with a gossipy nature, and they are naturally interested.

"Wow, is that mysterious? What's the matter? ”
