Chapter 8: Chance Encounters
Li Xin and Liu Zhicheng walked side by side, Liu Zhicheng held Li Xin in one hand and an axe in the other, thinking that he was going to the mountain to cut down trees.
Su Xiaoman was very surprised, he didn't expect to meet these two people even if he came out to pick up firewood, and this luck was also amazing.
However, Su Xiaoman just glanced at the two of them and looked away, continuing to pick up firewood on the ground.
Li Xin and Su Xiaoman didn't deal with each other in the first place, but now Su Xiaoman's attitude angered Li Xin even more, and said in a strange voice: "It's really unlucky, how can anyone who is not inconsistent be bumped into by me?" Blinded me for a good day! ”
Su Xiaoman didn't hear the harsh words, and the action of collecting firewood under his hands never stopped at all, and after feeling that the firewood in the basket was almost up, Su Xiaoman was ready to leave.
"Hey, stop me!"
Su Xiaoman's footsteps did not stop, and Gu Zi walked forward.
Li Xin was anxious, and trotted a few steps in front of Su Xiaoman.
"Didn't you hear me when I told you to stop!"
"You didn't call my name, how do I know you're talking to me?" Su Xiaoman glanced at her coldly.
Li Xin was choked by her words, her expression was very ugly, she never thought that Su Xiaoman, who was weak and easy to handle before, would become angry.
She looked Su Xiaoman up and down, and found that Su Xiaoman's state was no worse than before she got married, but better, and her face was even more ugly.
"After getting married, it's different, I even have the confidence to speak, and I don't know what the Orion was so confused that he was willing to marry a watery poplar woman like you, but I don't think he feels sorry for you, otherwise how would he let you come out to do this kind of tiring work?"
Su Xiaoman really wanted to roll her eyes.
She didn't understand why Li Xin had to target her, if it was because of Liu Zhicheng, but now that she was obviously married to Lu Li, why did she still hold on to her?
Li Xin saw that she didn't speak, thinking that her words had poked her sore spot, and had a smug smile on her face, "Women, if you marry someone, you have to marry someone who can spoil you, you see Brother Zhicheng, because I want a dresser, no, he came over to cut wood and make a dresser for me with his own hands." ”
"I heard Brother Zhicheng say that he used to beat a few wooden hairpins for Xiaoman? What's so good about that broken wooden hairpin, it's all leftovers and scraps, and only you can treat it as a treasure......"
"Oh, I forgot, what kind of person is worthy of what kind of thing, and you can only match that broken wooden hairpin......"
Liu Zhicheng on the side tugged at Li Xin's sleeve and wanted her to stop talking, but Li Xin shook it off.
"What? Am I wrong? Could it be that you still don't give up on Su Xiaoman? Li Xin looked suspicious.
Liu Zhicheng didn't speak, he smiled wryly, but he kept glancing at Su Xiaoman with the rest of his eyes.
"Did you say enough?" Su Xiaoman frowned, and his tone was very bad, "Li Xin, I don't know why you always target me, and even want to kill me, but I advise you to accumulate more virtue for your descendants!" ”
After Su Xiaoman's eyes looked around Li Xin's stomach, he turned around and was about to leave, and after taking a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Liu Zhicheng.
"You've done a lot of things I've done to be sorry for me, but there's only one thing I want to thank you for."
"Thank you for not coming on the day of your elopement, otherwise I wouldn't have married Lu Li, he is thousands of times better than you, and he is a really good man."
"You have failed me, but you have fulfilled me and Lu Li, from today on, our grievances will be written off, you don't feel that you owe me anything, and I won't complain about you anymore."
Regardless of Li Xin, who was trembling with anger behind him, and Liu Zhicheng, who looked stunned, Su Xiaoman walked in the direction of home.
Whew-
Su Xiaoman leaned his back against the door and exhaled a breath, his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed.
Sure enough, some things can only be said clearly in person, and the feeling of holding it in my heart all the time is too uncomfortable.
Su Xiaoman poured the firewood in the bamboo basket into the firewood room with brisk steps, wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and began to check the ingredients in the firewood room.
There are pheasants, mutton, pickled fish, bacon, a lot of meat, but there are no vegetarian dishes.
Lu Li doesn't know how to grow vegetables, and it's troublesome, so he doesn't open up a vegetable garden around, and if he wants to eat any vegetables he wants, he usually takes meat to the bottom of the mountain and exchanges it with the villagers.
This is not good, not only is it troublesome, but the varieties are relatively single, and they are all vegetables that are easy to preserve such as cabbage and radish.
I have to take the time to talk to Lu Li, it is best to leave a vegetable garden near my home, and if it is fast, I can also catch a wave of goods before winter comes.
Today, I can only go pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables.
Su Xiaoman changed to a smaller bamboo basket and carried it in her hand, and deliberately walked in a different direction, she didn't want to see Li Xin and the two of them again.
The back mountain in autumn is like a natural treasure house, Su Xiaoman happened to find a field full of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the basket will be full in a while.
"Ah, isn't this Xiaoman?"
Su Xiaoman turned around and found that it was several women in the village, and they were all carrying baskets, thinking that they were also picking mushrooms and wild vegetables.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Li, who is this?" One of the women was a little raw.
"This is the daughter-in-law of Dongtou Wang's mother, and she has just married, her name is Sun Xiu, you can call her Sister Sun!" Zhang Lihua said with a smile.
"Hello Sister Sun." Su Xiaoman shouted, but Sun Xiu didn't seem to want to see Su Xiaoman, so he snorted coldly and ignored her.
The atmosphere was a little awkward all of a sudden, Li Rong came out to play a round and teased Su Xiaoman: "Xiaoman is also sixteen this year, how does it feel to be married?" When are you going to have a baby? ”
"Sister Li, don't make fun of me, we haven't discussed the child's affairs yet!" Su Xiaoman didn't mind Sun Xiu's attitude, she saw it now, if she took everyone's attitude into account, then wouldn't she be tired to death?
Zhang Lihua also became interested, joined the topic with a wicked smile, and said in a low voice: "Hey Xiaoman, come over and tell me, what is your man's ability?" Awesome, isn't it? ”
Su Xiaoman hadn't reacted yet, "What aspect?" ”
"That's it! The man in your family was born tall and big, and the job must be not small, how about it, can you afford it? Zhang Lihua squeezed her eyebrows and successfully made Su Xiaoman understand what she meant.
Su Xiaoman's face was flushed, especially his ears, which were so red that they were dripping blood.
"I, we haven't had a round house yet...... Su Xiaoman's voice was almost inaudible, but Zhang Lihua and the three of them were close and could still hear it.
Zhang Lihua and Li Rong glanced at each other, but they didn't expect such an answer.
"Haha...... That Xiaoman, your man must feel sorry for you......"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid you'll hurt ......"
Zhang Lihua and Li Rong made excuses one after another, for fear that Su Xiaoman would be embarrassed.
"Cut! It's not the business that catches up, and people may think you're dirty! You have eloped with a man, where is it worth feeling distressed? ”
