Chapter 17
Lu Wanxing did not have too much gossip, and her language was concise and impressive. told how she was bullied and how she was beaten. As far as the matter is concerned, there is no mention of ginseng, and there is no mention of anything in the past.
Lu Yunian glanced at the third aunt and the fourth aunt from time to time, and the doubtful eyes made them panic in their hearts.
"Seventh Grandpa, that's the way it is, because a dress that is originally my own, the third aunt is going to cut my hair, and my body is skinned to my parents, I can't accept the third aunt's approach."
"Dead girl, Uncle Seven, don't listen to her quibbles, her father and mother are not here, and it is my responsibility as an aunt to discipline her well."
"You're beating me like this, isn't it enough?" Lu Wanxing rolled up her sleeves and handed it to Lu Yunian, the blood marks on her arms made Lu Yunian's face sink.
Lu Yunian let out a sigh of relief, stomped two steps behind his back with his hands behind him, and said: "It's a contradiction between children, and you, as an elder, favor your own children, this is not right; Evening Star, you are a junior, and if you speak disrespectfully to your elders, that is not yours. Closing the door of the family, this noisy and noisy makes outsiders laugh. The third family, you have also taught the evening star, I look at today's events, forget it here. ”
"Seventh Uncle...... As soon as the third aunt spoke, Lu Yunian squinted and swept over. Are you dissatisfied? ”
"No, no, it's all up to the seventh uncle."
"Where's the evening star?"
"Evening Star listens to Grandpa Seven's arrangement."
"That's it, Evening Star come with me, I have something to ask you."
Lu Yunian walked straight to Mrs. Lu's hall, and Mrs. Lu pulled Mrs. Lu Wanxing to follow with small steps.
The third and fourth aunts held their breath and looked at their backs.
"Third sister-in-law, what did you say Uncle Seven was looking for that broom star?"
"What can you do, this old thing doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and he is also worried about ginseng, would he have come to our house so coincidentally?"
"Well, it's possible, or the third sister-in-law can see it."
"I understand that it can be smashed, the ginseng was taken by the old lady, and we don't have our share. It's this girl, I don't think it's easy to fiddle with in the future. ”
"That's it, why is she suddenly able to speak?"
As if no one was beside them, they suddenly found that the eldest mother was still standing in the yard and did not move, and the third aunt made a smile and said, "Sister-in-law is in good spirits today?" ”
When she opened her mouth, the fourth aunt covered her mouth and laughed in understanding. "Sister-in-law is really blessed, at this age, the eldest brother is still so tough, my fourth child works for a day, and goes home like a dead pig, but there is no spirit of the eldest brother."
"That's it, the third child is also too tired to lift his legs!"
As soon as they sang and said in harmony, the eldest lady trembled angrily, the blood on her face faded rapidly, and she couldn't say a word of justification, so she turned around and went back to her house.
The fourth and third aunts finally smiled happily.
Although Lu Wanqing and Lu Wanqian are fifteen or sixteen years old, they are still ignorant of what they say, Lu Wanqing asked with a smile: "Mother and Sanniang exaggerate that Uncle is in good health, why is Auntie still angry?" ”
Lu Wanqian had two blush floating on her face, grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go, go to grandma's house, and listen to what Grandpa Seven has to say!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
The two of them walked on the front foot, and the fourth aunt hated the iron but not the steel scolded, "I don't know how to be dead-headed, if my family Wanqing is so sensible as Wanqian, I have to worry less about it." ”
The third aunt looked at their backs proudly, and said proudly, "My family is going to marry a big family in the future." ”
In Mrs. Lu's room, Lu Yunian sat on a stool, and sat opposite Mrs. Lu, Lu Wanxing obediently poured him a bowl of tea, stood behind Mrs. Lu, and kneaded her little hands on Mrs. Lu's shoulder.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Wanxing came back from Houshan last night, okay?"
Lu Wanxing's kneading action paused, and continued to massage as if nothing had happened, but he filtered last night's events again in his heart, and always felt that Lu Yunian had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. What was his idea?
"It's okay, it's okay, it's rare for the seventh child to be so worried."
"I won't say anything in front of the Ming," he put down the tea he picked up again, and said seriously: "I heard that Wanxing dug up a ginseng and came back." ”
Mrs. Lu seemed to understand what he meant immediately, patted Lu Wanxing's hand and said, "Go open the cabinet door, there is a white cloth bag in the basket and bring it." ”
"Grandma," Lu Wanxing knew that she was going to give ginseng to Lu Yunian, although this ginseng was not worth much in her heart, but the times were different, she didn't have any hammers now, if the old lady was reluctant to use it, she sold the ginseng, and she could exchange it for a lot of money. But if this is given to Lu Yu Nian......
"Hey! Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. Lu Yunian hurriedly waved his hand.
"Old Seven, usually you take care of my family's nest, there are good things, and the younger generation should also be filial to you." Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Wanxing didn't move, so she stood up and wanted to get it.
At this time, Lu Yunian also stood up, stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "Who does my sister-in-law think of me as Yu Nian?" I haven't seen a lot of money, and I won't be greedy for a ginseng. ”
He said so, and Mrs. Lu looked at him puzzled, not understanding what his intentions were.
Lu Yunian looked at Lu Wanxing's eyes and said very lovingly: "You also know the price of ginseng, I wonder if Wanxing still remembers where to dig ginseng, let her lead the way, if you can dig out a few more, you can also help the clan exchange more money." ”
"Oh!" As soon as Mrs. Lu thought about it, she immediately changed her words and said: "This thing can't be done, you also know that the back mountain is the territory of Qingfeng Village, if they know, this matter will be troublesome." ”
"I know that Qingfeng Village occupies the top of the mountain, but the things in this mountain are not said to be theirs, and they don't usually take care of hunting and chopping wood. Let's just dig wild vegetables, who can say that we are digging ginseng? ”
"Moreover, the locust tree slope and the well water of Qingfeng Village do not interfere with the river water, don't look at them as ringing horses, and rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest! Even if they bumped into it and said that it was a person from the locust tree slope, it couldn't be bad. ”
Lu Yunian dispelled Mrs. Lu's doubts in a few words, and he also said very indemgently: "Let the evening star lead the way, it's not in vain, no matter whether there is ginseng or not, the clan will pay ten cents a day, just follow a few trips to the mountain, and you won't suffer a loss." When the time comes, I really dug up the ginseng and sold it for money, and I will give it to you, and it will be counted as a share of the evening star, I understand the situation of your family, and this part will not be revealed, what do you say? ”
"Can it really be regarded as a late star? Pay back ten cents a day? ”
This is a great temptation for Mrs. Lu, the female baby is not included in the family tree, if the family eats and drinks during the New Year's holidays, she will not bring the female baby's share, if she can give Lu Wanxing a share of the silver, she can also save two decent dowries. Besides, ten cents a day is not a small amount.
"Sister-in-law, can I still fake what I say?" Lu Yunian swore solemnly, "If you agree, I will send a few people to follow the evening star up the mountain tomorrow." ”
"This is too urgent," Mrs. Lu couldn't hide her excitement, and said with a little regret: "Doctor Liu came here yesterday, and you also saw that this kid's head was not well, and he was beaten again today." I have to rest for a few days. ”
