Chapter 104: The Hardships of Life
After lunch, with Xiao Zhou and Xiaowei scrambling to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Mingyue was relaxed, and she had nothing to do after lunch.
Looking at the pickled muntjac meat that had been processed by Xiao Zhou Xiaowei hanging on the wall of the tree in the house, Mingyue muttered, "Now I don't know if this thing is worth anything." ”
Unfortunately, Mingyue's muttering happened to be heard by Yan Jiu, "You want to sell this muntjac meat for money?" ”
Mingyue nodded, "Of course, our family doesn't have any other income now, just counting on these prey to be able to exchange for some money." ”
Yan Jiu has been here for so long, he didn't think about this at all, and it wasn't until he overheard Mingyue's muttering just now that he noticed that after thinking about it carefully, the two of them were driven out with nothing, and they were forced to live in this Daliangshan Mountain, and life was probably very difficult.
Yan Jiu wanted to tell them some silver, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed back, he finally changed his words and said, "Anyway, we live here and want to eat, sell it to me." ”
Mingyue glanced at Yan Jiu and said, "How much can you eat on such a hot day?" It will break if it is left for a long time. There are also acquaintances in the town, so let's go to the town in the afternoon and sell it. ”
Yan Jiu directly took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and then said to Zhang Shan at the door, "Shan, leave some muntjac meat for us to eat, and send the rest to the inn to the other guards." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mingyue, "Is this okay?" ”
Ming Yuele was relaxed, anyway, he didn't lack this money, he took the silver on the table and tossed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Of course you can." ”
Yan Shisan, who was sitting on the side, looked at Mingyue's movements and said with disdain, "The ignorant woman who sees the money is open." ”
Mingyue put away the silver in her hand, took out two copper plates from her arms, and threw them at the table where Yan Shisan was sitting, "Na, be paid as a coolie in the morning." ”
Without waiting for Yan 13 to speak, Mingyue went into the house, leaving Yan 13 with an angry face pointing at Mingyue's back and shouting, listening to Yan 13 outside who was angry with himself, Mingyue showed a satisfied smile comfortably, scolding himself for killing him with his actions.
Yan Shisan's shouting was finally stopped by Yan Jiu, and Mingyue entered the house to pack up the dirty clothes that she and Li Yun had changed yesterday, put them in a wooden bucket and prepared to go out.
The weather was so hot that she couldn't do other work, so Mingyue planned to go to the lake to wash clothes, Li Yun saw Mingyue's movements, and said loudly, "I'll go with you." ”
Mingyue nodded, holding a wooden bucket in one hand and Li Yun's wheelchair in the other, and the two went out together.
Zhang Shui looked at the back of Li Yun and Mingyue leaving, and sighed, "Gongzi Li and Mrs. Li are really in love." ”
Yan Jiu looked at the backs of the two of them and said thoughtfully, "Really?" ”
When the sun didn't shine on the side of the house in the next day, Mingyue beckoned everyone to start work again, and when Mingwenli came up with a basket of vegetables, he saw such a scene, the yard was full of large and small woods, and under the empty cliff in the courtyard, many people were busy there, Mingyue was directing on the side, and Li Yun was also helping from time to time.
Ming Wenli could see at a glance that Mingyue was going to build a cave house over there, but suddenly who were so many strange men? The helper invited by Mingyue? Ming Wenli took a closer look and found that two of them were particularly outstanding, judging from the clothes of several people, they didn't look like rural mountain people, Ming Wenli wondered, how could such a person help Mingyue build a house here?
Everyone also noticed Ming Wenli's approach, stopped what they were doing, and looked at the person who pushed the door into the courtyard.
Mingyue saw that it was her fourth uncle Mingwenli, so she beckoned, "How did the fourth uncle get here?" ”
Ming Wenli shook the basket he was holding and responded, "I'll bring you some vegetables, who are these?" ”
Mingyue didn't know how to introduce these people, so she looked at Li Yun for help, and Li Yun said, "This is my distant cousin, who came from Yanjing to see me." ”
Then he introduced to Yan Jiu and the others, "This is the fourth uncle of Yue'er's mother's family." ”
After Li Yun finished introducing, a few people said hello slightly, and Ming Wenli said to Mingyue, "Where are you going to put this dish?" ”
Mingyue hurried over, and as the fourth uncle carried the basket into the house, Mingwenli watched Mingyue take out the vegetables in the basket, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Are those people really Li Yun's distant cousins?" ”
Mingyue nodded, "Just two of them yes, and the other few are the people who brought them." ”
Mingwenli said, "I just said that two of them are dressed like rich sons, and the other few are dressed like subordinates, but I didn't expect Li Yun to have this kind of cousin, it's his mother's side?" ”
Mingyue nodded, "It seems to be, I don't know too much." ”
Ming Wenli asked a bunch of questions about Li Yun's cousin, and Mingyue returned one by one, and Ming Wenli didn't plan to stay longer, but planned to go back.
But before leaving, I didn't forget to tell Mingyue, "If there are guests, I will go back first, but guests are guests, although they are willing to help build a house, you can't go too far, directing people to do this and that, you know?" ”
Mingyue nodded weakly, and said in her heart If the fourth uncle knew that the construction of this house was purely out of his own selfishness, and these people were all calculated by themselves to keep them as free labor, I don't know what the fourth uncle would think.
Seeing that Ming Wenli was leaving, Li Yun also came over and followed Mingyue to send Ming Wenli out of the courtyard, and the two of them went over to continue working.
After the bright moon passed, Yan Jiu said while digging the soil, "Brother and sister, your fourth uncle is quite young, he looks rude, and he is polite when he speaks. ”
Mingyue didn't hide it, "My fourth uncle has been to county school for many years. ”
Yan Jiu was curious: "Oh? After a while, he continued to ask, "Didn't take the merit test?" ”
Seeing that Yan Jiu was so curious, Mingyue told the fourth uncle about it, and after listening to it, Yan Jiu said with a smile, "Your grandmother is really interesting." ”
The corners of Mingyue's eyes twitched slightly, and her heart was not only interesting, but also interesting, especially tossed.
