Chapter Seventy-Six: Ma's Expectation
In the west of the village, Zhu Jinchan's family has had a very miserable month this month.
Since Zhu Hongyu countersued them for plotting to burn the Zhao family ancestral hall, the family has become more and more impoverished.
The silver money that was originally intended to be paid to Zhu Hongyu was all used as silver taels for ransom, and a large amount of foreign debts were owed.
Liu and Ma were severely tortured and seriously injured, but they offended the only doctor in the village, so they could only endure and recuperate.
Zhu Jincian went out to cultivate the land during the day, and when he came home at night, he only had a few mouthfuls of soup to drink.
On June 9, my family heard that someone was holding a banquet in the village, and I thought that I would bring back some food in the autumn breeze.
Ma was not seriously injured, licked his face and blended into several poor households, and arrived in front of the brightly lit mansion together.
But who knows, the red lantern in front of the house is hung high, reflecting the word "Zhu House". The person who walked out of that door turned out to be Zhu Hongyu.
Luo Qi is all over the body, and the pearls are treasured. Suddenly, she became the head mother of a large family.
No matter how much slander and slander she has, it has become a laughing stock of "if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour".
Ma thought that if he could mix rice, he wouldn't say anything. But who would have thought that Zhu Hongyu would let them line up one by one, and finally pick her out......
"Oh, thirsty...... Water! ”
Liu Shi lay motionless on the bed, although the injured place was almost better, but after all, it was a broken muscle and bone, and the internal injury could not be healed anymore.
Ma Shi held on to the bed, she could walk a few more steps, she leaned against the wall to the water tank, scooped a scoop of water with a water scoop, and handed it to Liu Shi on the bed.
Then he slowly moved back into the house and handed the water scoop to Liu who was lying on the bed.
"Drink it."
Liu snatched the water scoop and took a few mouthfuls of water, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. After drinking the water, I noticed a fishy smell in my mouth.
She was naturally a person who couldn't stand being wronged, and she began to roll on the bed in a moment.
"Oh, you unfilial thing, how can you give me raw water! I've been feeding you for so many years! How did my son marry you blindly! ”
Ma snatched the gourd scoop from Liu's hand, and regardless of the pain in her body, she quickly took out a scoop of water from the kitchen tank, brought it to Liu, and drank it herself.
After drinking, I didn't forget to wipe the water from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve.
"Isn't it just two mouthfuls of raw water? When I first passed the door, didn't your family drink it every day? Later, when the plague came, it was really hypocritical? If you don't have that life, don't enjoy that blessing. ”
After saying this, Ma threw the gourd scoop against the wall, and in an instant, the gourd scoop was smashed against the wall and shattered into four or five petals.
Ma turned around and ran towards the hut.
Liu was so suffocated by Ma's toughness that she couldn't speak, and she lay on the bed without making a sound, so she sulked alone.
"That's right!"
Ma Shi walked back to the big house, she was so angry just now that she forgot what Zhu Hongyu had told her.
"That little cheap hoof of the Zhu family said that he would definitely feast our family alone within a month. She is rich, but the people in the village can't help but poke her back, saying that she is not filial to her elders. Our family can still count on this road. ”
When Liu heard this, she actually lost interest, how old she was, and she had never seen anything in the world. She could see that Zhu Hongyu had a hard mouth and a cold heart, and would never come over to be filial to her because of the guidance of the villagers.
Lying on the bed, Liu's air outlet is much more than air intake.
Youyou said: "Don't dream about you, a junior who is a daughter-in-law, just rest." ”
When Ma heard Liu's words, he was also convinced, and turned around and walked out of the door in a hurry, and the bamboo curtain in front of the door against mosquitoes hit the door frame, making a dull sound.
Compared with Zhu Jinchan's family, Zhu Hongyu's life is in full swing.
In Sanguan Temple, she asked Runye to see that he didn't give the ring, and caught up with the summer heat at noon, she made a careful eye, said that there was something at home, and called her sister away.
After a few polite words with the Lu family, he exchanged a wave of feelings, and quickly left with Amber.
So under the scorching sun, Zhu Hongyu and her sister sat in the pergola of the courtyard to eat watermelon, while Runye could only dry aconite in the large courtyard of Sanguan Temple.
The final destination of these aconites may probably be thrown away, not to mention how depressed he is!
After noon, the migrant workers who repaired the ancestral hall in the backyard also started, Zhu Hongyu walked to the backyard with amber, and the migrant workers invited by Zhanao were all strong and strong, and they were full of tendons and flesh. Many of them were topless, working under the sun.
Shen Hanyang sat in the courtyard supervising the work, and Zhan Ao was busy in the front yard.
When Amber saw this exquisiteness, her face turned red and she didn't dare to look at it more. Zhu Hongyu remembered the case she had treated in the morning and felt ...... There's nothing wrong with looking at it, don't fall into the root of the disease in the future.
"How's it going?" Zhu Hongyu walked in front of Shen Hanyang, and the two made a peaceful salute.
Shen Hanyang stood up from his seat, pointed to the ancestral hall that had just laid the foundation, and said, "The people invited by Zhanao will give a penny of silver a day!" As long as it doesn't rain, work day and night. By June 24, it will definitely be repaired. ”
Zhu Hongyu saw that several people were skilled in their hands and feet, and they were very willing to work hard, so she was relieved.
"Where did you get these people?"
"They were all invited by Zhan Ao from the city, and you were in the pharmacy a few days ago, so I didn't discuss it with you."
Zhu Hongyu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind these people, although it was more expensive to hire people in the city, but these people were skilled craftsmen who built houses in the city, and they had to do it in a hurry.
Coincidentally, Zhu Hongyu had nothing to do. Seeing Shen Hanyang's hot face flushed, he knew that he was not heat-tolerant.
"Mr. Shen, you go and talk to Mother Wei in the kitchen to make a pot of sweet and sour plum soup to relieve the heat. Then go back to the house and rest, I'll watch here. ”
Shen Hanyang refused again and again, very embarrassed.
"It's so hot that you don't fit outside!"
When Zhu Hongyu saw Shen Hanyang say this, she knew that he was just polite in his heart.
"This is our family's ancestral hall, and I want to reassure my parents. Mr. Shen, go back quickly. ”
After a lot of persuasion, Shen Hanyang finally stopped refusing, told Zhu Hongyu not to be reckless, and then went to the kitchen to inform Wei's mother.
Amber had been standing beside Vermilion, too shy to raise her head.
Zhu Hongyu slandered, what is this scene, what is it if you don't take off your pants and be shy. Won't this be how meat will be sold on Weibo in the future?
"Amber, it's hot outside, you've been doing your work all day, hurry up and rest."
As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu sat down where Shen Hanyang was sitting, holding a red umbrella above her head. Actually, it's not very hot.
Amber seemed to be liberated, and quickly ran back to the house with her head down.
In this way, Zhu Hongyu watched the craftsmen work for a while, and rested for a quarter of an hour after the summer soup was served.
Until the sun set, Wei's mother brought two pots of food for the migrant workers.
One meat and one vegetable, just some meat and vegetables, is a fried lettuce with lean slices. Migrant workers will inevitably run out of food.
Taro came over with Wei Yuan to deliver food, and when he saw that Zhu Hongyu was still sitting, he stepped forward to salute Zhu Hongyu.
"Miss, dinner is ready, let's go to the living hall for dinner."
Zhu Hongyu felt that it was cooler to sit outside, and said, "It's cool to eat here, you ask Mother Wei to make some for me and send it here." ”
Taro took the order, and after a while she carried a food box to the backyard.
There is a five-color box in the food box, and there are some dishes of various colors, three meat and two vegetables.
The staple food is a small bowl of rice, and the soup is naturally indispensable, and a small cup of chicken soup is fragrant to the bones.
The migrant workers present had their eyes straightened, and they could only squat on the ground and pick up the dishes that were not very sumptuous.
Zhu Hongyu took a pair of silver chopsticks handed to her by Taro, and when she was about to eat, she glanced at the migrant workers' meals.
"On this hot day, how can you give people these things. Let Wei Yuan start at noon tomorrow, meat dishes will be made into braised pork, and there must be no vegetarian dishes in the meat dishes, and the vegetarian dishes cannot be all vegetable leaves. And the money came from me, and she asked me for it in the evening. ”
After Zhu Hongyu gave the order, the migrant workers listened more energetically. But she felt that this group of people did a good job, and thought that in the future, she would ask these people to repair and build new houses. Therefore, it cannot be treated harshly.
At night, the lights of Zhu's house were turned on.
After Chang Pingchuan dropped the lock, he and Ergou went to the backyard to light the lights for the employees who built the house.
Zhu Hongyu was drinking tea with melon seeds, and when she saw two people coming over to take over the shift, she quickly got up. She doesn't look like sitting outside at night feeding mosquitoes anymore.
"You're here, take care of your night's rest."
Before the two of them finished their etiquette, Zhu Hongyu ran upstairs with a cigarette, and was about to take off her clothes and put on some mosquito repellent and itching medicine, when she heard taro knocking on the door.
"Taro, I'm not sleeping yet, you can go to another house to serve."
"Miss, I've brought Mother Wei over."
By the way, she told Taro about adding vegetables, put on the overalls on her body, and let the two of them in.
Zhu Hongyu sat on the Luohan bed in the outer hall, with a string of twine coins in her hand, a string of coins.
Wei Yuan was still wearing an apron, and she was very capable in a short fight, and when she saw Zhu Hongyu, she was busy making a thousand.
"I've seen the eldest lady."
Zhu Hongyu said "um", and then handed the two pieces of money to Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan took it with both hands, clutched it in his hands, and still lowered his head.
"The money is for meat, and you can come to me after the expenditure is gone."
Wei Yuan hit another thousand, took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Zhu Hongyu saw Wei Yuan walking away and asked Taro to sit on the other side of Luohan's bed.
The lights flickered, the room was bright, and the shadows of two people shone on the wall.
Zhu Hongyu threw a few pieces of money to the taro and said, "Disassemble all the ropes on it, take some new ropes, and put fifty pieces of money on a string." ”
Taro got up and went to cut the rope, and then did as Zhu Hongyu instructed. Under the lights, a few coins of silver were quickly refurbished. Zhu Hongyu checked it, and there were twenty strings in total.
Zhu Hongyu took out the empty plate on the table and put the money inside.
"Taro, these tied silver, everyone who is in the house, everyone will give a hanging. The same goes for Zhanao, Amber and the migrant workers. He said that because his family has been busy recently, he rewarded them. ”
Taro took the silver, first gave the money to the master who lived on the second floor, and then went to the kitchen and gave it to Wei Yuan.
And then there are the two small ones, and Taro didn't deduct money just because they were with him.
The rest of the men, taro, got together and gave the money away.
Zhu Hongyu walked out of the door, stood in the corridor in front of the door and looked at the railing, the breeze was blowing at night, July and May received the money, and they were still playing shuttlecock in the second courtyard. When the taro came back, he called out and went to sleep.
There is still a penny left on the plate, which is Taro's own.
When Zhu Hongyu saw this, she felt more and more that she had finally chosen a reliable person.
To be loyal, we must also know how to be humble so as not to cause trouble.
