When the leaves are scattered and the weather turns cooler, it means that the autumn harvest has arrived. The Mai family rushed to harvest all kinds of crops, and Mai Yonghe also returned from the county to join the labor team. But every day or two, Chen Qiuniang would call him back to the county, either vomiting so much that he wanted to see a doctor, or he wanted to eat something and let him buy it and send it home...... In the end, Shan Cuihua simply asked him to go home with the harvest of the few acres of land under his name, telling him that he would not have to come over in the future.

Mai Xiaohuan is still responsible for cooking, taking care of the family's livestock, now twelve years old Mai Xiaofang followed her father and second brother to the field, got up early and worked greedily for more than ten days, and finally when she was almost done, Mai Quan's leg was broken by the suddenly crazy cow, and even half of their land was not returned!

When Mai Wan rushed to his brother's house with his family, the old lady was pointing at Qiao's and scolding her for being a loser!

Of course, Mai's whole leg is broken, of course, he has to find a doctor, but Qiao's can't get the money to see a doctor at all, and Mai Liu's can't bear to watch his youngest son suffer no matter how distressed he is! Let her take out the silver and it is such a large amount of two taels, of course she is uncomfortable, doesn't this just point at Qiao's and scold!

Qiao's still feels aggrieved! The husband is lazy, he is busy outside and busy at home all day, and there is no idle time, but what is the use of a woman no matter how capable she is, and the money he saves is not enough for him to lose in the winter!

The mother-in-law never said that her son was not, and she put all the fault on herself, and she was too aggrieved to live this life. Looking at the two concubines, and then looking at themselves, Qiao Shi felt that it was dark in front of him.

"Second child! You can't ignore such a big thing that your brother's leg is broken! Among the brothers, your family has the best conditions, so quickly take out some silver to relieve this unfortunate thing!

They still have several acres of soybeans that have not been cut, and tomorrow let the Yonghe brothers help take them back, counting on this lazy woman, your brother will drink the northwest wind. ”

Even if the old lady doesn't say it, Mai Wang can't watch his brother's crops thrown into the ground, silver? Mai Wan subconsciously looked at the little girl, and now his family's expenses depend on her! I don't count what I said.

Stuffing the half-hanging money into Shan Cuihua's hand, Mai Xiaohuan stepped aside, and when Mai Liu saw that his daughter-in-law was holding a copper plate instead of silver, his face suddenly became gloomy: "Second brother, you are a brother and take out such a few copper plates, it's not a shame!" If you don't have any money, go home and catch some chickens and rabbits. By the way, let Xiao Huan stay and cook for her third uncle for a few days. ”

How can there be a business of its own here! Mai Xiaohuan wants to say that he still has a lot of things to do! The third uncle has a daughter-in-law and a daughter, so it won't be his niece's turn to cook for him!

"Mother, now is the time when money is tight, and no matter how much our family can't get out. The third brother and sister and Xiao Miao'er are all at home, where can it be Xiao Huan's turn to serve her third uncle! ”

Mai Liu hit the ground with a crutch and reprimanded Shan Cuihua: "This is our Mai family's business, you are not qualified to take care of it as a foreigner, the third child's body has to be repaired well, if you fall into disability, you will be responsible!" ”

"This responsibility is not only unaffordable for my mother, but also for me, I promised to visit Brother Qu as soon as I went over to visit Brother Qu in the autumn harvest, so I'm afraid I can't help with cooking."

Grandma, she wants to help take care of the third uncle! obviously wants to take the opportunity to shirk the responsibility, and if you can't get the third uncle's follow-up treatment, you have to pay for it from your own family. Let my father and second brother help collect the land for a few days, and clean up myself, so let's leave Shaxi Village as soon as possible!

Mai Xiaohuan also saw it, if you live in front of your grandmother, you don't want to live a life of stopping.

When she got home, Mai Xiaohuan said that she wanted to discuss something with her father, but Shan Cuihua thought that she wanted to talk about what happened just now, and comforted her that she didn't have to worry about it.

"Mother, what I want to say is another thing, Brother Qu has a Zhuangzi in Tongbei County, which has more than 600 acres of land, and there is a barren mountain behind it, I want to take you to live there."

Mai Wan and Shan Cuihua glanced at each other and shook their heads together, why should they go to live in someone else's house when they have a family and land.

"This Zhuangzi and I are half a person with Brother Qu, yes...... Given to us by our father-in-law, Brother Qu didn't know how to farm, so he handed over Zhuangzi to me to take care of, how can I understand! That's why I want my dad and mom to go over together. ”

Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua told Mai Xiaohuan to return the Zhuangzi to Qu Hao, which was left by the county guard, and their own family must not take advantage of it.

No matter how Mai Xiaohuan persuaded them, the couple just refused to nod, Mai Yonghai did not object, and was willing to follow his sister, Mai Xiaofang saw that her sister had been talking for a long time and her father refused to nod, and she had already shrugged her shoulders with a smile.

glared at the second sister angrily, Mai Xiaohuan told her family that she had decided to live in Tongbei County, not only to plant crops there, but also to open a workshop, even if no one was willing to help, she would go alone.

It's not that she refuses to say that Zhuangzi is her own, the first is that she is afraid of scaring her father; Second, she didn't want to start dealing with these best relatives in her family before she had done anything.

She also knew that this matter would not be persuaded at one time, her father would definitely not be relieved of her grandmother, and her mother was reluctant to let go of the family business that she had finally set up, so it seemed that she and her second brother could only leave first.

At night, Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua lay in bed and couldn't sleep to discuss Mai Xiaohuan's going to Tongbei County, although Shan Cuihua didn't want to live in the same village with her mother-in-law, and she didn't like Chen Qiuniang, the daughter-in-law, but let him leave the home where she had lived for 20 years, she said she would say nothing.

Mai Wang didn't want to leave, he was born and raised in Shaxi Village, and he never thought about leaving here and moving somewhere else. But the child is still so young, it's really not easy to let her go out alone!

"Does she know how to farm and build a workshop at such a young age? After going out for a while and not making a name for herself, she will come back. Shan Cuihua turned sideways and yawned and wanted to sleep.

"I think Xiao Huan is more than just talking." That kid has a smart head! Isn't it her idea to grow sweet potatoes and wild peppers at home? There is also the study of that vermicelli, she can lock herself in the house and not come out all day, for more than two months, she thought she couldn't do it, but she did it.

Mai Wan wanted his daughter-in-law to ask his daughter tomorrow, and when he turned his head, the people around him didn't know when they had fallen asleep.

Anyway, I have to help my third brother's family work for a few days, and when my daughter really plans to go to Tongbei County, it's too late to discuss.

The next day, Mai Wang took his son to help his younger brother's family harvest soybeans, and Mai Xiaohuan really began to pack things. The last time she went to the county, she found a blacksmith who had made molds for herself, and asked him to make a complete set of molds, and bring them to Tongbei County in a few days, collect sweet potatoes, build a factory and start work.

The two of them helped to work for four or five days, and the Mai family's land was finally recovered, but his leg was more serious than a few days ago, and it was already swollen, not to mention, it hurt at the slightest touch.

"It can't be a misaligned bone! You should find a doctor to check it out, hey! Let the second brother put on a carriage and take him to the county seat! Mai Xiaohuan went back to the house and took a silver ingot of five taels and handed it to the second brother, although he didn't like the third uncle, he didn't want him to be disabled.

"When you get to the county seat, if someone asks about this silver, you say that you asked the eldest sister to borrow it, don't say that I took it out." If grandma and eldest brother knew that they had money, they would never let them leave Shaxi Village easily.

A few people drove the carriage in the morning, and didn't come back until the evening, and then looked at the crumpled clothes on the two of them, Shan Cuihua asked, "You two went out to fight with people." ”

"Oh! The third uncle's leg bone was indeed misaligned, and the doctor helped him reconnect it, and after a day of tossing, I was almost exhausted. Mai Yonghai drank most of the scoop of water, wiped his mouth and explained to the people who stayed at home.

As long as the third uncle's leg is connected, he thinks that this is the end of the piece, and he can go to Tongbei County with confidence. I knew that early the next morning, the third aunt took Mai Xiaomiao to cry and knock on the door of Mai Xiaohuan's house.

As soon as Shan Cuihua opened the door, Qiao's began to cry, and after listening for a long time, everyone finally figured out what was going on.

Mai Quan went home last night and kept shouting that it hurt, Qiao didn't dare to make his own decisions, and after discussing with his mother-in-law, he found a "miracle doctor" in the neighboring village, and the "miracle doctor" gave Mai Quan a drink of Fu water, and kneaded it on him, Mai Quan felt much better than before, and that person also said that he should not go to the county seat, if she made a move, Mai Quan would not have to suffer this crime at all.

As soon as Mai Quan heard this, he was about to get up and settle accounts with the quack doctor in the county, but he fell down and fainted, and the "miracle doctor" picked up the silver and ran away, after Mai Quan woke up, not only his legs hurt, but his stomach also hurt, Qiao had to come to beg Mai Wang to send her husband to the county again.

"Third aunt, my third uncle didn't just want to settle accounts with the doctor last night!" The doctor lives in the county seat, and even if he looks for it, he has to wait until dawn to go, and he is afraid that he wants to settle accounts with his father and second brother.

Her own family contributed money and efforts, and finally ended up being complained about, Mai Xiaohuan really didn't want to pay attention to these people's gossip anymore, she told Qiao's that she had something to use the carriage today, and asked her to find someone else to help.

Mai Xiaohuan felt that after such a toss, it might be difficult for the third uncle's leg to heal, in order to prevent them from putting the responsibility on their own family, Mai Xiaohuan felt that it should be as far away from them as possible at this time.

After Qiao's left, Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua talked to Mai Xiaohuan, and Mai Wang insisted on sending his younger brother to the county seat.

"Dad, I'll tell you the truth! The third uncle tossed like this last night, and if he didn't get it right, he would be disabled, and then they might put the responsibility on you, what should you do! ”

"Can't! We're paying for it and we're paying for it, and it's too much for them to do that. Shan Cuihua was a little moved, but she took pity on Mai Quan's current situation and didn't know what to do.

Mai Wang finally drove his younger brother to the county seat, Mai Xiaohuan asked him to call his uncle and grandmother, and it was better for the three of them to discuss something together than for him to face it alone.
