Chapter Eighty-Seven: Conspiracy
Chen Jixing's family knows how to do it, and he whispered and "bleed" to invite the people in the old house to eat and take, and the effect received was not bad.
Needless to say, the Zhu family has quickly moved closer to the Ye family since joining the Yaya Township Kitchen, and I have to say that the relationship between the two families is now in the honeymoon period. But whenever the Zhu family has time to chat with others, or when someone is talking nonsense, they must be guided by good words.
The others were not bad, starting with Mrs. Liu taking the lead, and Huang taking the lead, quickly setting off a clarification action. Especially the Huang family, her relationship with the Ye family has always been bad, and it can even be said that she has been pressing the Ye family.
Seeing that she took the lead in saying good things for the Ye family, everyone expected that the previous rumor that "a pot of flowers can be sold for ten taels of silver" must be false.
At the beginning, Ye Feng was still sighing at the Huang family's power, but in just ten days, no one asked about the flowers. Later, when he figured out what Huang said, he had to sigh helplessly.
It turned out that Huang said this: "Ten taels? Do you believe that? Is that kid a prodigy in your eyes? Oh, he's worthy! A pot of flowers sells for ten taels, why don't you say that the he pulls can also be sold for one tael of silver and a bubble. Since you believe so, why don't you go to the mountains and dig up a few trees and come back and try to see if you can get silver? These words will be believed by the ignorant and foolish woman. ”
However, this is a reminder to Ye Feng.
Huang said this, it is difficult to guarantee that some people are not convinced, maybe they will turn their backs and run to the rhododendron forest to dig trees. Speaking of which, this forest was originally wild, born to grow, and whoever likes to dig will dig it.
But those who are bound cannot be poached.
So, Ye Feng and Chen Jixing went to the wild rhododendron forest in the dark for the first time, and dug up all the rhododendrons that had been tied up before.
Although Huang and Mrs. Liu have already refuted the rumors in the village, they can't stop some people from believing in evil. This rhododendron forest is no secret in the village at all, and in the spring, the flowers bloom all over the mountains and fields, and they are purple and red, as long as they are not blind.
The two of them worked hard for most of the day, and it was not until late at night that they transported all the trees back to the backyard. The next day, Ye Feng took advantage of the hot weather to go out and planted all these trees in the shed.
This one, Ye Feng found that half of the flower pot had been used, it seemed that he had to take the time to go to Taojia Village, after all, someone bought a plate before, and they just asked someone to bring the letter, and they haven't picked up the goods yet.
However, it is time to harvest corn in the next few days, and Chen Jixing is definitely not reluctant to leave. Anyway, there is no hurry, and it is not too late to go after the corn is harvested.
So, Ye Feng became more and more diligent, pulling Ye Shi and Qianyan to study next to him day by day, and hurriedly pruning and modeling the dozens of rhododendron trees dug up before the farm was busy.
I have to say that after the last round of selection, these second batch of rhododendron trees are indeed worse. But don't be afraid, after pruning, it will definitely take shape, but it's just a matter of time.
Although under the pressure of Mrs. Liu and the softness of the Ye family, the Huang family worked hard to help the Ye family clarify, but there were reservations in their hearts. Although she didn't believe that a pot of flowers could be sold for ten taels of silver, she believed that she could sell one or two taels.
As for the bamboo shed, she saw it at a dinner party, and there were at least thirty pots in it. Even if it is sold for ten pots, it is ten taels of silver.
The last meal was not worth a tael of silver, but the Ye family coaxed the family to go around. As a result, she was very unhappy. In her logic, if the Ye family was really sincere, she should give her two taels of silver alone.
Later, she inadvertently learned that the Zhu family had only been cooking a few times, and they had earned more than ten taels of silver, and they were a little unbalanced for a while. Thinking that the Zhu family is getting richer and richer, and they are so happy to have five taels of silver from the Wu family before.
If the Ye family asked her to join, she would be the rich person now.
Seeing that the relationship between the Zhu family and the Ye family was getting better and better, the Huang family was naturally angry. She has provoked the relationship between the two of them a few times, saying that the Ye family is now famous, and she is used to calling people, and she asks the Zhu family to cook every dinner, and so on.
It's a pity that the Zhu family is not stupid, and they coped with it in four or two thousand pounds, and did not accept the offer, making it clear that they didn't want to offend her, and they wanted to continue to slap the Ye family.
Where in the world is there such a good thing! Huang said in his heart, since the Ye family was unwilling to let her join and worked hard to support her in doing things, she would naturally repay well.
But what can be done?
The Fan family, who had been silent for a while, naturally knew that Ye Feng had made a lot of money by selling potted plants. To be honest, she was very unhappy.
Last time, it was Ye Feng who caused her and Aunt Zha to almost fall out and make jokes, and she was pinched by the village chief's wife, Ye, and her people had pain in her feet for several days.
This is not over, she also went to the village chief's house overnight, gave up a piece of cloth, and thanked Ye for waking her up in time. Fortunately, she went in time, and it didn't take long for Chen Qianfan to be moved, which can be regarded as a gift in advance.
However, she just felt aggrieved in her heart, and she always wanted to win back a game. You know, she had never missed a shot before.
In light of her previous failures, she has been thinking of countermeasures for some time.
On this day, thinking about it, Fan, who returned from pulling weeds in the cornfield, saw the restless Huang. I saw that she had an unfair face, as if she was angry with someone.
Seeing this, Fan's heart was overjoyed, when it came to revenge, Huang was the best starting point.
So, pretending to be a chance encounter, he walked up and said, "It's you, it's just such a hot day, why don't you go back?" ”
Seeing that it was Fan, Huang complained: "Hey, you don't know, I'm so angry." It's all my brother and sister, who weren't crushed by me everywhere before, but now it's good, with two stinky money, they started to support me. What the hell! ”
After listening to Huang's complaints, Fan "understandingly" didn't ask what happened between her and Ye, and there was no need to know. As long as they don't get along, there will be a chance.
Just, what to do?
Fan's brain was running at a high speed at the moment, and Huang's words just now were clearly scolding Ye's. No wonder she has always been in opposition to everyone these days, and she has scolded a few little daughters-in-law enough, it turns out that this is the case.
It seems that she was also forced by Mrs. Liu.
Day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves. Fan is naturally well versed in this.
If he can "remind" the Huang family unconsciously, so that the Huang family is inspired by this, and go to Chen Jixing's house to cause sabotage, it will really be perfect.
Looking at the corn in the field, Fan suddenly thought that since Chen Jixing's family relied on flowers and plants to make a fortune this time, then this idea should be related to flowers and plants. It is best to bring a devastating blow to the flowers and plants at one time, so that he will lose money and lose his reputation, and he will not want to sell a pot of flowers in the future.
Of course, you can't let anyone know that it's your own idea.
When he saw Bai Siong in the distance, Fan already had an idea in his mind. If this method succeeds, the Ye family's flowers and plants will definitely be finished.
So, pretending to care about the Huang family, the Fan family affectionately pulled the Huang family and said, "You are also here, I just came back from the field, and I am about to go and pluck a cabbage to go home and make lunch." Do you need it? If you need it, go and pluck one. ”
After speaking, he affectionately took Huang's hand.
When Huang heard that there was a bargain to take advantage of, he was naturally happy, so he went to the vegetable field with Huang. I have to say that the Fan family's woad grows really well, big and tender.
While the two of them were choosing the woad vegetables, Fan Shi said as if unintentionally: "Does your woad have worms?" My family's has grown a lot. A few days ago, when I came here to see, there were more than a dozen vegetables densely covered with small insects, gnawing the leaves into small holes. I was so angry that I stripped them all naked. ”
As a result, Huang didn't seem to hear it, but looked there with bright eyes, trying to find the biggest one. Fan is generous on the face, but in fact, he is the most stingy. Anyway, this is the first time that the Huang family has taken the initiative to take advantage.
Seeing that Huang only had woad vegetables in his eyes, Fan was not annoyed, but just stood aside and helped Huang choose. Finally, Huang picked out a dish that looked like the biggest, and then he happily plucked it.
Seeing that Huang's attention was no longer on the woad, Fan said again: "I don't know what's wrong with this year's insects, but there are many more than last year." It's just that there are too many in the vegetable field, what's the matter, even a few trees and flowers behind my house have insects. The leaves of the tree were gnawed away, and just like that, it was going to die. It's a shame that those trees grow so well. ”
When Fan said this, he deliberately paused on the words flower and tree.
When Huang heard this, his two eyes turned around, trying to digest what Fan had just said, insects, flowers, trees, gnawing light, and dying......
Thinking of this, Huang's eyes glowed with gold, and even a little ecstatic, she had been thinking of a way just now, wanting to "repay" Ye's well, and now she already had an idea. I have to say that this idea is really good, it can kill people invisibly.
Seeing the viciousness in Huang's eyes, Fan became satisfied, exchanged a few more words, and said straight to go home to cook, and hurried home.
Huang, who was holding the woad, walked much briskerly. In her mind, all of Ye Feng's flowers and plants were gnawed by insects, unrecognizable and all dead.
After breakfast the next day, Huang rarely took the initiative to ask to go to the ground with Chen Jida. Seeing Chen Jida's hellish look, Huang said unhappily: "You two are rich now, but you don't know how hard we are poor. Seeing that the corn harvest is about to be made, I also want to do my best, and when the time comes, I can collect a little more, and everyone can share a little more to improve their lives. ”
Although the Chen family also rented land, the ten acres of land were all their own, so in addition to paying taxes, they collected more and collected less by themselves.
Hearing Huang say this, Chen Jida didn't know what to say. Anyway, if there is one more person to work, he naturally doesn't mind.
Chen Jiwang was a little happy, he thought that his mother-in-law had changed.
In Chen Jiwang's eyes, compared with other families in the village, his family is actually doing well. Mrs. Liu is physically tough, and basically does not need to be served. Chen Wumei is about to get married, and the other party is still rich.
As for his second and third brothers, they have also made progress now, and their lives are thriving. He knew very well in his heart that as soon as Fifth Sister Chen got married, he would take care of his family when the time came, and his life would slowly go by.
Now the Huang family is a little too dependent on the second family, and when the time comes, they don't have to rely on themselves.
It's a pity that what Huang thinks in his mind can't match what he thinks at all. Halfway through, Huang began to pretend that his stomach hurt. That appearance frightened a few people, just because she pretended to be too similar.
Chen Wang offered to send Huang home to rest.
How do you know that Huang said with a pitiful face: "No need, I'll just go back by myself, don't delay the work in the field." It's all because I'm not angry, I originally wanted to come out to help, but unfortunately now it seems that I can't do it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu was somewhat clear. Since Huang took the initiative to say that she would work in the field, she had reservations. Because before, the Huang family always used the excuse of feeding pigs and chickens at home, and they would only go to the ground for a long time.
But in fact, she is lazy at home.
Because feeding chickens and pigs or something, it was all done by Chen Wumei.
Chen Wumei is going to get married this year, so Mrs. Liu is reluctant to let her go to the ground, for fear that she will get tanned. So, she basically took care of the work at home.
Whatever, anyway, Huang went to make a show.
It won't take long for the left and right sides to wait, and this family will always be divided. When the time comes, see how the Huang family cheats and cheats.
Thinking of this, Zhu didn't care, pretended to comfort Huang a few words, and let her go home to rest.
Seeing a few people walking away, Huang hurriedly ran to the vegetable field, and saw that there were many chubby little insects on the door. After thinking about it, she endured her nausea, picked a few big leaves, spread them out in her hands, caught a dozen small insects, wrapped them well, and then prepared to leave.
After thinking about it, I felt that this was not enough, in case these insects couldn't hold up the flowers and plants she put in the backyard of Chen Jixing's house, wouldn't it be in vain for her to waste her efforts. After all, it's too hot now, and these insects don't know if they can hold it.
After thinking about it, she remembered Fan's words that day, so she directly threw away these insects wrapped in leaves, and then found a low hillside to climb, she wanted to find those trees with insects and even insect eggs.
To say that Huang is indeed smart this time, because insect eggs are definitely more effective than insects. In addition, even if you don't find the eggs, it is just as effective to find the branches of the insects with leaves.
Although the insects on the wead are ready-made and easy to catch, they are all too obvious. When she arrived at Chen Jixing's house, no one was at her best. If someone is there, she won't be able to carry it out.
And these insect branches are different.
When she finds it, she only needs to break off a branch, and she doesn't need to endure nausea at all. Moreover, as long as she arrived at Chen Jixing's house, she found an excuse to go to the backyard and throw the leaves with insects into the flower pot.
And when these insects finish eating the leaves they are boarding, they will naturally climb up to those potted plants obediently.
The hard work paid off, and she finally found a tree with leaves. This kind of tree is the most insect attraction, and almost the entire leaves of the tree have been eaten by the insects. The remaining few leaves are also mottled and miserable, and the leaves are all holes.
Huang struggled to knock down the largest branch, and lowered it, so that he broke one of the branches. I saw that it was full of insect eggs, and there were a few small black insects wriggling.
She swallowed the nausea in her heart and hurried down the mountain with a branch.
Along the way, Huang hid the branches behind him, for fear of being seen. After thinking about it, he broke another taro leaf and fanned it as a pretend.
In fact, the Huang family is too cautious, and now at this point, everyone is working in the field, preparing for the autumn harvest in a few days, and there is no time to care about her.
In addition, the old, weak, sick and disabled who have not gone to the ground are also staying at home to enjoy the cool at the moment. It's so hot outside, no one is going to move around at will.
In this way, in the apprehension, the Huang family went all the way, and surprisingly lucky, they came to Chen Jixing's house without encountering anyone.
It should also have this catastrophe, when the Huang family came, Chen Jixing was working in the field, and Ye Feng accompanied the Ye family and Qianyan to Cai Liu's house.
After Cai Liu became pregnant, she always called Ye over to chat from time to time, and the two seemed to have endless words. Originally, Ye Feng didn't go, but today Cai Liu's family asked someone to say that her mother's family sent some sweet and sour fruits, which are said to taste very good, which is not available in Chenjia Village, so let a few people try it.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng went, and came back after eating for a while. Besides, Cai Liu said that the fruit was so magical, he also wanted to see what it was. Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten much fruit after being here for so long.
It's just that he can see that Cai Liu's heart is indebted to the Ye family. If someone asks you to eat the fruit, but you don't go, it makes it clear that the other person is unhappy.
When a few people left, they forgot to lock the door.
Ye has a bad memory now, thinking that he is locked. And the key has always been placed in the Ye family, so Ye Feng and Qianyan naturally didn't ask.
When he arrived at the door of the Ye family, the Huang family panicked.
Originally, he was a little weak-hearted, after all, he was here to sabotage, and Qianyan and Ye Feng were both human spirits, and they would be discovered if they were not careful. And if it is really discovered, Mrs. Liu may not know how to deal with her.
What to do?
Thinking of this, she first put the branch full of insect eggs and insects on the ground, and seeing that the branch was so inconspicuous, Huang was relieved and began to call Ye's name.
As a result, after shouting several times, no one in the house responded. Thinking that Ye Shi had been sleepy recently, Ye Feng was always soaking in the bamboo shed, so she became more bold and tried to push the door again.
This push, the door actually opened, but she was happy.
Seeing this, for the sake of safety, Huang entered the house empty-handed, and called a few more tentatively, but no one answered. I tiptoed to the backyard again, and saw that there was no one.
Seeing that there was indeed no one in the house, Huang was so happy that she almost jumped up, which shows that God is also helping her. For he quickly went out of the yard, stooped down and took the branch and went into the house.
After thinking about it, he gently closed the door again, and then sneaked into the backyard.
As soon as he entered the shed, Huang saw a flower pot placed on a bamboo bench, which contained rhododendrons that Ye Feng and Chen Jixing had just dug home from the mountain, as well as pines and cypresses and ginkgo that were left from the sale that day.
Seeing that there were still so many flowers in the shed, but they didn't know that they were dug up by Chen Jixing and Ye Feng overnight, Huang was a little sure in his heart, and felt that Ye didn't lie much, and there were indeed not many flowers sold that day.
Immediately suppressed the urge to pinch and destroy all these flowers, Huang began to act.
She first brought the leaves close to the azaleas, and then carefully chased the insects from the leaves one by one to the azalea trees with bamboo sticks.
These insects followed the Huang family for such a long time, it was already a little hot, but now that they saw a new cool tree, they were naturally happy, and under the drive of the Huang family, they couldn't wait to climb the tree one by one.
After resting for a while, I found that there were no natural predators, and I found that these new leaves were sweet and juicy, so I began to nibble on those fresh and tender green leaves again.
Compared to the previous living environment, this is simply paradise.
Rushing to the insects, Huang is still a little unsatisfied, after all, there are not many insects, but there are many trees. If she knew it was so easy, she wouldn't have thrown away the packet of bugs she had before.
After thinking about it, and seeing the eggs on the leaves, Huang smiled sinisterly, carefully pinched the leaves, divided the leaves into several pieces, threw some into each pot, and buried them with soil, and then left satisfied.
As soon as I was about to leave, I heard the hen crowing "clucking", and as soon as I heard it, it lay eggs and was calling for credit.
Without doing anything, Huang followed the rooster's cry and found three hot eggs in a nest made of firewood. I don't know how Ye's feeds the chickens, on such a hot day, her chickens have long stopped laying eggs.
After picking up the eggs, Huang went out happily, covered the door again, and returned the same way. Looking left and right, there is still no one, and now I feel even more proud, feeling that I have done it unconsciously this time.
It's just that after thinking about it, I didn't go home, but went directly to the cornfield where the Zhu family and a few people worked.
Several people saw Huang's return, although it was a little late, but there was still some surprise. Especially the Zhu family, who originally decided in his heart that the Huang family was stealing and playing tricks, and wanted to take the opportunity to go home to rest.
Unexpectedly, she came.
Thinking of this, Zhu said: "Sister-in-law, if you are really uncomfortable, you can rest at home, and you don't have to be strong." You'll need to get in shape, and you'll start harvesting the corn in a few days. ”
Hearing this, Huang pretended to say: "Thank you brother and sister for your concern, I'm fine, I guess I've eaten a bad stomach." You see, I'm not in a good position, don't worry, I can't delay the harvest of corn. ”
As he spoke, he began to work under Zhu's surprised gaze.
Zhu even thought that she would not last long and would propose to go home, but what she didn't expect was that Huang insisted on it and did not leave until it was over.
After returning home, Mrs. Liu and Chen Wumei had already made lunch.
Because she took meat and vegetables at Ye's house a few days ago, Mrs. Liu felt that she had just eaten a big meal and there was no need to eat it the next day, so she marinated the meat and took it out today.
The Huang family was indeed tired today, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, not only succeeded in harming Ye Feng's flowers and plants, but also stole three eggs, and won the praise of Chen Jida and his wife.
Therefore, although I was tired, my hands were also scratched by corn leaves, but I didn't complain, and said, "My mother and my fifth sister have worked hard", and then I washed my hands and started eating.
Of course, before eating, she also used the excuse of going back to the house to change clothes, but in fact, she just went into the house to hide the eggs.
Mrs. Liu here thought that the Huang family was earning performance, and wanted to leave a good impression in front of her, so that she could deviate when the family was separated in the future. Actually, she will be biased without performance, after all, now the second family has an income, which is much better than the old family.
In Mrs. Liu's opinion, it is better to plan early. While she is still talking and someone is listening, there is still a certain amount of weight in this family. If she doesn't have the right to speak, it'll be too late.
She has also lived in Chenjia Village for decades, and has seen a lot of people who usually have a good relationship, but because of the separation, they turned against each other. It's just that no matter who it is, it is difficult to be absolutely fair when splitting up, or to satisfy everyone.
