Chapter 30: Shameless Liu

The chickens and pigs were brought back to the mountains and there was no place to raise, so they planned to sell them directly, thinking that the price in the town was not good, and finally Ming Boss and Ming Wenli rented an ox cart, and a junior of the Zhao family helped, and the three of them directly pulled the pigs and chickens to the county seat.

Then Li Qiang helped move the things out of Uncle Ming's house, and left, Mingyue and the others and the Zhao family's father and son moved the table and miscellaneous things to Daliang Mountain.

Everyone knows that there are beasts on this Daliang Mountain, and no one wants to go here, the father and son of the Zhao family saw that Mingyue's family was actually forced to live in Daliang Mountain, and they couldn't help but sigh lightly, and they hesitated a little when they got to the bottom of the mountain, but in the end they didn't say anything and followed up the mountain.

The actions of these two people all fell in Mingyue's eyes one by one, but she felt that this milk's mother's family seemed to be not bad, but it was much more reliable than these brothers and sisters of the master.

When she returned to the cave, Mingyue saw that the old man Ming had not spoken much, and his face was pale, so he estimated that he might have been hit too hard, and the family asked about the trip, Mingyue didn't say anything, just said that Uncle Pig and Chicken and the fourth uncle had been taken to the county seat to sell.

The father and son of the Zhao family delivered the things, and then got up to say goodbye, and the old man Ming thought that he would go to discuss the delay of the marriage with the old woman and Meimei, so he got nervous and followed the Zhao family father and son down the mountain together.

Ming Laosan also saw that his father's face was wrong, and he didn't worry about following along.

Mingyao took Minghui with him, and the two brothers also went down the mountain together to pick up their mother.

Mingyue was not idle, put the sundries away, and began to plan how big the yard should be and where to start with her mother and third aunt, and then dug a few simple traps near this cave.

Ming Laosan sent his father to Zhao's house in Dalu Village, and saw that his father had nothing to do, thinking that there were still many things to be busy at home, so he came back early to continue cutting trees.

There are a lot of things, and the day passed in the blink of an eye when I was busy, until it was getting late, and I hadn't seen the uncle and the fourth uncle come back, and even Mingyao and Minghui hadn't come back yet, so I couldn't help frowning.

Ming Laosan wanted to go down the mountain to have a look, but he remembered that there were several women and children in this family, and he finally stayed at home.

It was only when it was dark that I saw a torch slowly approaching from the bottom of the mountain, and it seemed that it had returned, and the people who stayed at home breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was back, Mingyue began to beckon everyone to eat, she was hungry after a busy day, but Xu Jinniang found out that something was wrong, "Mingyao, aren't you going to pick up your mother?" ”

I was indifferent to the eldest aunt Liu, and Mingyue completely ignored the existence of Liu, as soon as Jingniang talked about it, Mingyue remembered that the eldest brother Mingyao and Minghui were going to pick up the eldest aunt, why didn't Mingyao Minghui Niang pick it up, and came back with the fourth uncle?

Mingyue raised her head and looked at everyone again, and found that Mingyao and Minghui, including the uncle, had red eyes, and the face of the fourth uncle Mingwenli was also very wrong.

"Is something wrong?" Mingyue put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Fourth Uncle Mingwenli, and asked.

Ming Wenli didn't open his mouth rarely, but his face was ugly, but Mingkang couldn't help crying in the end, "Woo woo...... mother doesn't want us anymore, woo woo woo ......"

A half-year-old child, crying so sadly, Mingyue looked a little sad in her heart, and patted Mingkang's shoulder comfortingly, but she didn't know how to say comforting words.

At this time, Boss Ming finally opened his mouth, "I reconciled with the Liu family, and gave her the money from selling chickens and pigs, which can be regarded as compensation for giving birth to two babies over the years." ”

Mingyue opened her mouth wide, the uncle divorced the marriage one day after he went out? And generously gave the money that you worked hard to get back early in the morning?

Thinking of the eldest aunt Liu, Mingyue felt uncomfortable, but considering Mingkang, who was still sobbing, and the silent uncle and eldest brother, Mingyue didn't ask any more, changed the topic, and said, "Let's eat, let's rest early after eating, and I'll be busy tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Minghui, who was still sobbing, to the table, and the meal was very silent, and then they rested, and Mingwenli stayed vigil.

Mingyue couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed, so she got up lightly and came to the fire at the door.

Ming Wenli saw Mingyue and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Mingyue said, "I can't sleep, I can't figure it out, the money I worked hard for a morning, and the uncle will give it to the aunt like this?" ”

"Hey!" , Ming Wenli sighed lightly and said, "Where is it given by the eldest brother, when the sister-in-law came back, she saw us going to the city to sell chickens and pigs, so she also followed." Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law took advantage of the fact that my eldest brother and I were not paying attention, and secretly settled the account with the owner of the restaurant, and ran away with the money. ”

"When we went to Liu's house, my sister-in-law scolded me, and said that our family didn't even have a place to live, and yelled that I wouldn't live with my eldest brother, saying that it was not enough to compensate her for so many years."

Mingyao and Minghui were both present at that time, and the sister-in-law was actually ruthless. The eldest brother was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't bear to write a letter of resignation, but went to the village chief and wrote a letter of reconciliation, and then reconciled and divorced. ”

After listening to this, Mingyue didn't know what to say, and she only felt that Liu was a little annoying before, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless and shameless, sighed, sat silently in front of the fire, and stopped talking.

Ming Wenli continued to speak, "Daddy doesn't know about this yet, if she knows, I'm afraid I'll be angry." ”

Mingyue sighed lightly, remembering the scene where her grandmother made a fuss after she found out, Mingyue's body couldn't help shaking, and it was estimated that she would not be at peace for a while, so she said, "Hide it from them for the time being, how much silver did the pigs and chickens sell?" ”

Ming Wenli said, "We were in a hurry, so we directly found a restaurant, and only sold it for fifteen taels of silver." ”

Mingyue continued to ask, "If it's like the two wild boars we fought, how much can they be sold for?" ”

Mingwen said, "The smell of wild boar is too strong, it is not very valuable, it is similar to pork, and pheasants, rabbits and muntjac are worth more." ”

Listening to the words of the fourth uncle, Mingyue's eyes lit up, and the muntjac was too sensitive, but it was not impossible to fight, but the rabbit and the pheasant were very good at fighting, and he had an idea in his heart, so he said, "Fourth uncle, let's go hunt some prey tomorrow, and fill in the fifteen years of silver after selling it." ”

Ming Wenli nodded and responded, "Okay, my father is angry enough today, so let's hide it from them for the time being." ”

That night, it wasn't that Mingyue couldn't sleep, most people thought that the only income in the family was gone, except for the two younger children, no one fell asleep.

The conversation between Mingyue and Ming Wenli lowered his voice, but in this silent night, it still clearly reached everyone's ears.

Since he decided to go out hunting tomorrow, he couldn't sleep at this time anyway, so Mingyue found two knives, took a few specially found hard wood, and the two began to sit in front of the fire and sharpen arrows.

With the lesson of fighting wild boars before, both of them felt that even if they were not hard enough, it was better to prepare more wooden arrows.

Early the next morning, Mingyue woke up with a white sky, and Mingyao had already changed to Mingyao to guard the door of the cave.

After a brief tidying up, Ming Wenli greeted everyone, "I'll go out for a walk with the moon girl to see if there are any wild things." ”

Mingyao on the side quickly got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Boss Ming looked at a few people, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Go ahead, don't go too far, pay attention to safety." So he went on his own.

A group of three people, led by Mingyue, approached in the direction of Daliang Mountain, along the way, Mingyue kept whispering to the fourth uncle and eldest brother Mingyao, try not to make a sound, so as not to alarm the prey.

This time he was obviously much luckier than last time, and he didn't encounter a fierce and difficult beast like a wild boar, and in a few hours, he beat three or four hares, two pheasants, and a muntjac, and Ming Yao also saw Mingyue's archery for the first time, with the same expression as Ming Wenli when he saw Mingyue shooting arrows for the first time.

When they returned to the cave, everyone couldn't help but be surprised and happy when they saw so many prey.

Boss Ming looked at the pile of prey in front of him and asked uncertainly, "Is this really what you guys fought?" ”

Mingyao nodded affirmatively and said, "Yue'er's arrow technique is simply amazing, the arrow does not need to be fired, it is simply a hundred shots." ”

The rest of the family listened to Mingyao's words, and they all looked at Mingyue in surprise, Mingyue hurriedly smiled and explained, "I didn't expect that my archery accuracy was so powerful, hehehe~"

Listening to Mingyue's words, everyone didn't think much about it, they all felt that Mingyue had a talent for archery, and several children admired Mingyue even more, pestering Mingyue to teach them archery.

After breakfast, Mingyue went down the mountain with Mingwenli to prepare to sell the newly hunted prey, the wild boar was not easy to sell, and Mingyue planned to keep it at home and eat it by herself.

Mingyao saw Mingyue's archery, and when he saw a bunch of prey in the morning, he felt that life was full of hope, and finally let go of the sadness in his heart, and decided to live a good life seriously, and after eating, he also went down the mountain, asked Mingyue for a rabbit and a chicken, and took it to the blacksmith shop in the town, planning to go to the blacksmith shop to change some iron and hit a few more iron arrows.

And Mingyue and Mingwenli originally planned to go to the county seat to sell prey, but the county seat was too far away, and the only ox cart in the village was not there, so they gave up going to the county seat and went directly to the town to sell prey.

Mingyao looked at the prey in his hand and said worriedly, "There are only a few small restaurants in this town, I'm afraid that no one will accept these prey, and even if they do, they won't be able to collect so much." ”

Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Is there a butcher who sells meat in the town?" ”

Mingyao nodded, "Of course there is." ”

"Can you supply meat to the county?"

Ming Yao said, "There is a Pan butcher in the town, who often goes to the countryside to collect pigs and then resell them in the county town. ”

Listening to Mingyao's words, Mingyue said, "Let's sell it to him." ”

Mingyao shook his head and said, "He doesn't collect game." ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "If he has money to earn, he can't accept it, unless he's stupid." ”

Seeing that Mingyao still didn't understand, Ming Wenli explained with a smile, "Let's sell it to him cheaper, and then he resells it to the restaurant, doesn't he make a profit from it." ”

Mingyao had a sudden expression, and Mingyue continued, "And we are not familiar with the people in the restaurant, and the selling price may not be much higher than the one sold to him, as for the butcher, since he has been supplying meat to the county for a long time, he must have a lot to do with it, and he will definitely sell it for a good price." ”

Ming Yao nodded clearly, looked at Yue'er and said, "You have a lot of ghost ideas in your brain, I didn't find it before, your brain is so good." ”

Since coming here, Mingyue has always pretended to be complacent, but now she is not pretentious at all, "That's it, the brain is naturally so good, there is no way." ”

The little arrogant expression, provoked Ming Wenli and Ming Yao to laugh.
