Luo Shi's body is thin, even if she wears a skirt, it is difficult to hide her slender waist when the wind blows.

She picked up a bamboo flat from the wall and held it in her hand, dragging it away like a general carrying a spear on the battlefield, making a deep mark in the mud.

She told the wicked woman to make a cut, and she wanted to get it back with her own hands.

This kind of trick seems to be commonly used by the old boy, and the cold light in his eyes is more than enough to scare a rural village woman like Osmanthus.

Osmanthus who was sitting on the ground and playing with it saw Luo Shi walking towards her - the little girl had a fierce face, but she couldn't hide her panicked momentum.

"Y-what are you doing!" She shifted her ass back, trying to get up and dodge backwards.

Luo Shi didn't give her this chance, and picked up her hand and threw it with a stick, hitting her on the left side of her face, knocking the whole person to the ground!

Osmanthus was stunned, she was angry and weak-hearted, relying on her own tall and big, she jumped up from the ground and went to grab the guy in Luo Shi's hand.

But before she could stand firm under her feet, Luo Shi hit her again with a stick, this time she poked her in the stomach, and directly pushed the person out half a foot away, and Osmanthus smashed a fart on the ground, with her feet facing the sky!

"Oh my mother, I'm going to kill someone."

The onlookers never thought that this little girl was so fierce, and after being stunned, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't kill anyone, ask her man to clean her up."

"If she doesn't fight today, she knows that she is afraid, and she will be upset in the future" Luo Shi gasped a few times, lifted the stick and chased her all over the yard to fight, who will persuade her to fight, and clean it up together!

Xinghua saw that her mother was beaten, and wanted to come up and fight, but unfortunately she was afraid that the flat burden would greet her, so she only dared to scold angrily on the side, and her voice was dumb when she scolded, and she didn't have the weak and coquettish appearance she had before half a minute.

"Brother Chang Geng, you should go to help, my mother is about to kill that little slut!" She kept pulling Niu Changgeng's sleeve and stomped her feet in anger.

"I don't go, whoever I love goes"

Niu Changgeng broke away from her and only stood behind Luo Shi, for fear that she would suffer again, so he didn't have to prevent Aunt Osmanthus from arresting her like this, and he blamed himself very much.

In the end, Aunt Osmanthus was beaten by Luo Shi and couldn't get up, crying and wailing, while holding her head and crawling all over the yard, begging for mercy:

"Please stop fighting, I won't dare anymore......"

"Don't ask me to see you again!"

Dropping the flat shoulder in her hand, the skin of the astringent tiger's mouth was broken, and the blood behind her ears was still dripping with blood, falling on the surface of her apricot-colored skirt, like embroidering a few red plums, bright and dazzling.

Osmanthus got up from the ground in embarrassment, and when she saw that Xinghua was on the side, she didn't come to help, and said angrily: "What's the use of giving birth to your little hooves, Lao Tzu Niang was beaten to death and didn't know how to help!" ”

Xinghua thought she was embarrassed, so she snorted and ran away by herself, but she hated Luo Shi in her heart.

A farce ended, and in a moment the whole village knew about it.

only said that the osmanthus was beaten by her man again when she came home, and she couldn't get out of bed for three days, and she couldn't find any trouble with Luo Shi in recent days.

It was dark early in winter, and there was such a fuss, so I couldn't do the work.

Luo Shi could only ask Sister-in-law Liu to settle the payment one by one with her salary, and ask them to come back early tomorrow to continue to finish the unfinished work today.

Niu Changgeng took out cotton gauze and potion from home, and hurriedly sent it to Luo Shi, and then waited anxiously at the door, afraid that the wound would not be treated well and he would get sick and get sick at night.

Sanniang pulled Luo Shi to sit down on the kang in the inner room and cleaned the wound behind her ear for her.

"I see that Brother Geng'er cares about you with all his heart, but he looks like a stunned boy" Sanniang lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled.

"Isn't he just stunned?"

Luo Shi looked at the Dongchang paper on the window, and saw the figure pacing outside, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I see that he is very good, he works hard, and he looks good, I heard that he is still a little steward of the docks? It's not easy for you to find relatives by pulling your pockets alone, so you have to have more hearts on your own."

"I saw that you were still the shy new daughter-in-law in the morning, and you came to the matchmaker for me only a day later?"

Luo Shi turned her head and smiled at her, but she was very helpless in her heart: she crossed over to earn money to pay off her debts, and she would go back in a year, not to mention getting married and having children, just adopting a pocket is already a reckless impulse.

Now, in addition to working hard to earn money, building a good house for her pocket, and saving her wife's book, she can walk steadily when the time comes.

Sanniang made her embarrassed, but said in an urn voice: "I will say a few more words when I fall in love with you, don't be too careful-it's just that today you are so good at beating Aunt Osmanthus, the whole village knows that you are a spicy person, which family dares to ask you to go"

Luo Shi smiled, this is what she wanted.

I thought that I wouldn't stay here for long, and I didn't want to worry too much about them, but once or twice she came to the door to bully, she couldn't tolerate it, and whether she would fight osmanthus or not today is two words, but once she has a fierce reputation, see who dares to bully her easily in the future.

After treating the wound for Luo Shi, the blood also coagulated into a scab, Sanniang said while tidying things up: "Okay, don't touch the water carefully these days"

"Okay, thank you Sanniang"

"No thanks, sisters, what kind of thanks, you can rest" She looked at Chang Geng outside the window and said with a smile: "I went back for you for the stunned boy outside"

"Oh yes, Sanniang, you take two hundred wen from the bedside and give it to him, I asked him to borrow it before" Luo Shi didn't mean to avoid him, he was open-minded, but he just remembered it, so he returned it to him.

But when the money arrived in Niu Changgeng's hands, the meaning changed.

His heart was full of sourness, thinking that it must be because the sister Luo Shi didn't like him, and he was too attentive and caring, so he annoyed her, so he returned the two hundred wen he bought the clothes to him.

Standing stupidly outside the window with a copper coin in his hand, he waited until it was dark and the oil lamp was lit in the house, and then he walked home in despair.

In the next few days, there was no osmanthus aunt to stir up the peace, the process of the family project was fast, the ground pile was laid, the yard behind was also reorganized and filled, and the courtyard wall was being built up little by little.

Except for Niu Changgeng, who was a little absent-minded, he either asked the bricks and tiles to smash his head, or knocked his hand with a hammer, and the rest went well.

Every day, the radish is cooked and eaten with different dishes, and the fixed five dishes and one soup make people eat full and delicious.

Therefore, in the last few days, many people came to the door and said that they did not want her to pay them, and as long as they could have a meal at noon, they would come and do a day's work for her.

It can be seen how happy and enviable it is to help the workers in the Luo family.

Sanniang came to help every day, and her husband Niu Qian had carpentry skills, and also helped Luo Shi make some furniture, such as the Eight Immortals Square Table, the Long Table, the Mazha Bench, and the Kang Table.

It is said that these things go to the shops in the city to be custom-made, and they can't be made without a tael of silver.

"Brother Niu Qian should eat this bowl of rice, how can he waste this craftsmanship and go down to the ground to eat it?"

Sanniang was helpless, while washing the dishes, she sighed: "My father-in-law is not in good health, and the eldest is not good at his hands and feet, so he can't clean up a few acres of thin fields, so he has to help pick it up, and don't think about it for a day if he doesn't score a family."

After getting along for a few days, Sanniang also told Luo Shi her thoughts, and Luo Shi responded and gave her the method of vegetarian meat.

In addition to the practice of vegetarian chicken and meat lotus root, she also taught her a lot of methods of vegetarian roasted meat, and she is also a smart person, so she will be able to teach it.

"In the past few days, my mother-in-law knows that my brother and I are here to make money, and she won't send me anything, so after cooking lunch, you will lend me the stove, and I will cook some and sell it outside."

Sanniang took out all the money she had saved from embroidery in the past, and asked Luo Shi to buy some lotus roots, soybeans and seasonings, wanting to make some vegetarian food in the past few days to earn some ladders.

She didn't plan to go to Tongzhou City, but only went to other villages in Qingshan County, and when it was time for dinner, she rushed back and unloaded the burden at Luo Shi's house and went home.

Luo Xi thought to herself: It's a good thing to be able to save some money in three years, and you will have the confidence to separate the family in the future, that is, you don't want anything, and you can walk chic and neat, and the two of them will live a small life with their heads bored, and they will no longer be angry with the evil mother-in-law.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, January passed, and it was getting colder and colder as soon as the moon entered the moon.

The new brick and tile house of the Luo family is almost up, and the new tiles were only installed yesterday, and the courtyard wall is also built high, and the vegetable plot from Niu He is also enclosed, and the thatched house is surrounded on all sides, and it is not airy.

In addition to the big dung pit of ordinary people, she also specially asked someone to make a squatting pit position, and used a polished large stone slab as a foot, and a handrail around the side, so that people would never be smeared and their feet slip into the dung pit.

The new brick house on the north side has a bright hall, a greenhouse on the left and right, and two new kang beds.

The one is along the mountain kang, along the west wall, how wide the wall is, how wide the kang is, very spacious. During the day, a kang table is set up, and it is very comfortable to eat, write, and do embroidery.

The east house made a single room for the pocket, and specially asked Niu Qian to make a long desk for him, Luo Xi thought that next year, he would send him to the school to enlighten, so that there should be a place to read and practice calligraphy at home.

Luo Xi calculated, this time the brick house, the renovation of the courtyard materials spent a total of twelve taels of silver, and then counting the daily consumption of vegetable oil, rice money, wages, a total of twenty taels.

In addition to the silver ingots she got from the Liang Mansion, she also spent a lot of money from selling spicy dishes, and after doing the math, she still has five taels of silver left at home, so she still asked the Liang Mansion in advance for the monthly money.

This money has to be kept for the New Year.

As soon as she entered the moon, regardless of whether it was in the village or in the city, everyone was busy with the New Year, and the spicy dishes were not as good as the previous sales, and now she only entered the city once every ten days, sent a few jars to a few second meat shops and rice shops, and did not brave the cold wind to sell them in the market.

Putting the broken silver back into the money jar, Luo Shi couldn't help but sigh: With such a speed of making money, it is still difficult for her to support herself, what can she use to earn two hundred taels of silver, and then exchange it for 400,000 yuan?

And it's only a year.

Scratching her hair in distraught, she put away the hard old bedding on the kang, took out the two quilts newly bought by the clothing shop from the big wooden box, carefully cushioned them on the kang, and thought in her heart:

Tomorrow is a good day for housewarming, she plans to have a whole table of side dishes, invite the grandmother's family and Sanniang and his wife to come over for a meal, which will be counted as a housewarming New Year banquet, and the rest of the people will not know.

It was still early, and she was going to light the lamp and do some needlework, when she suddenly heard the sound of banging on the door, and hurriedly stood up, and saw Pocket running in in a panic:

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to go to Sanniang's house to send some Bai Song? ”

"Sister, it's not good, the third sister sold vegetarian vegetables so that her mother-in-law knew, and said that she was going to kill her!"
