Chapter 122: Chen Taohua, I've put up with you for a long time
There were also two daughters-in-law and sons and three grandchildren in the house, and the woman called the two daughters-in-law to help with the cooking, and took out all the good things in the house, and made a dinner that was quite good in their eyes.
Everyone was frightened and hungry all night, eating this peasant food is also fragrant, after a full meal and drinking, the horses in the yard were also led to the backyard by the men of this family, in order to write grass and water, a few people went into their cleaned house to rest.
In fact, after such a night, Mrs. Wu had to find anyone, but Xiaoying's heartless one started snoring on the kang after a while.
It can be seen that his master did not fall asleep for a long time, so he got up from the kang.
"Madam, let's rest early, maybe Madame still has a tough battle to fight, but she must be out of spirit."
Mrs. Wu looked at Xiao Ke and smiled softly.
"It's still you girl who is meticulous, you look at that Xiaoying, it's heartless, we almost died tonight, and now we still sleep so soundly. I think this girl will be blessed in the future, but you, who have followed me for more than ten years, have never seen you tempted by any man? ”
Xiao Ke followed Mrs. Wu when she was ten years old, and she is twenty-three years old this year, a girl of her age is already an old girl in this era.
Hearing Mrs. Wu say this, she blushed unconsciously, and she bowed her head.
"Madame is so good to Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke doesn't want to get married, so she has been serving Madame for the rest of her life."
Mrs. Wu smiled, in fact, she could have seen it in the past few days, but the falling flowers were intentional, and the flowing water was ruthless, presumably her Xiao Ke could only be unrequited love.
"That's it, I won't keep you much, I think that Chen Putou is a good one, the same age as you, although the family is poor, but the average woman is not as good as his eyes, if you marry him, Mrs., I will prepare more dowry for you, and your family will not be poor in the future."
When Xiao Ke heard this, he was immediately anxious.
She didn't mean anything about Chen Putou, a man with five big and three rough, although he was honest and righteous, but she really didn't want to marry a man she didn't like.
Thinking about it, the figure who bravely protected them appeared in her mind again tonight, and she couldn't help but have a helplessness in her eyes.
Mrs. Wu looked at her like this, didn't say much, sighed, and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the darkness was illuminated by a brighter and larger light! Suddenly, the entire farm yard was shrouded in flames!
Xiao Ke screamed, and quickly called Mrs. Wu to get up, and shook Xiaoying who was sleeping heavily.
"Why, how can it catch fire?"
Xiaoying slept in a daze, was pulled up from the bed by Xiao Ke, looked at the boiling fire outside, and said stupidly.
"What else is it for! Hurry up and get dressed, I'll go out and call someone, you Mrs. Jiang, and take out the box! ”
When the words fell, Xiao Ke had already run to the door, opened the door, and shouted loudly when he opened his throat!
"Don't sleep! It's on fire! Everyone, hurry up! It's on fire! ”
The door of the next room was suddenly opened, and congratulations rushed out, and when he saw that Xiao Ke and they all came out, he was relieved.
"You all go outside, I'll save people!"
Xiao Ke just wanted to stop him and didn't let him go, but the congratulatory figure went straight to the hall!
Apparently those people were sleeping deeply, and Gong Xi tapped the door several times, but there was no reaction inside.
took out the long sword in his hand and knocked the door latch open little by little, and he rushed in! At this time, the flames are getting stronger and stronger, and they have spread to a courtyard next door to the second floor!
The family seemed to react when Xiao Ke shouted, and they all ran out of their houses.
The thatched house burned up quickly, but Xiao Ke went to knock on the house of the two sons of the main family, and after a long sound, a few adults and children ran out of it!
Eventually, after waking up the man and woman of the main house, they came out, and the whole courtyard was almost swallowed up. Xiaoying was witty and pulled the carriage out of the yard.
Everyone stood on the village road, watching a sea of fire swallow up the two courtyards, and their hearts were full of resentment!
And the two peasant families couldn't cry anymore when they looked at their devoured homes!
"Give this to them, this is also my burden to them."
Mrs. Wu took out two silver tickets of two hundred taels each and handed them to Xiao Ke, who took the two silver tickets and looked at them, her eyes widened. These two rooms, plus only twenty or thirty taels, are worth twenty or thirty taels, and the lady's generosity is probably also a new student's guilt!
Indeed, when Mrs. Wu went through all this tonight, she hated her husband who was unkind, liked the new and hated the old! Thinking that he was just a poor scholar back then, his mother's family supported him like that, so he has today's achievements!
Wu Yuan didn't know how to be grateful and remembered, and he brought back such a scourge! Today twice went for her own life, can she not hate?
She figured it out, if Wu Yuan really had to protect that vixen this time, she would still be guarding the so-called housework!
Even if you get the man back, so what? A man whose heart is not in you, what is the use of her? It's better to live freely like Shu Qingai.
When Xiao Ke gave the two hundred taels of silver tickets to the two families, the two families frowned with the thin paper.
"Girl, what are you doing to us?"
The man who opened the door before asked with a puzzled expression. After all, they don't know what this thing is.
In the countryside, there are only a few people who have seen silver, and almost all of them are traded with copper plates. Not to mention such silver tickets, they are also illiterate.
"This is a silver ticket of two hundred taels, my wife said, for you to use from the newly built house, today I am afraid that Mrs. is also involved in you, she is very sorry."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped crying! They all looked at the thin piece of paper in their hands, and showed a happy smile on their faces!
"No! Don't be involved! Madame is really a kind-hearted person, even if this broken house is burned down, it is not worth two hundred taels, thank you Madame! ”
Madame bowed to Mrs. Wu! Mrs. Wu looked at it, but she couldn't be relieved in her heart.
Mrs. Wu finally squeezed in the carriage all night, and as soon as the sky was gray, they were ready to go back to Pingyang County, but the men from the two families stood up one after another.
"Madame is kind-hearted, for our sake, since Madame is in trouble, we can't help anything, let's send Madame back to the city."
Mrs. Wu was moved for a while, thinking about that Wu Yuan, although he has been an official in Pingyang County for many years, the people of Pingyang County have really unpleasant evaluation of him.
I was really blind at the beginning, a lot of good men, we found such a hypocritical villain!
Seven or eight strong men escorted Mrs. Wu and them all the way to the city around the carriage. When I passed by the grove, the bodies of the four men in black were still here.
Congratulations on what happened last night, and those men even threatened to carry the bodies of these four people to the county office.
Mrs. Wu also followed them, and asked Xiao Ke to give each of them another ten taels of silver as a thank you fee.
They carried the corpse into the carriage, while Mrs. Wu and the others got down and walked, all the way to the city gate.
Shu Qingai didn't know that Mrs. Wu's departure was only a few hours' drive, and it was extremely dangerous!
Thinking about the approaching refugees that Hua Jinhan said, she felt that it was necessary for her to inform the village chief about this, so that the villagers could prepare earlier.
Although they are close to the mountains, they are also close to the river, and if those refugees can't make it, they will definitely go to the nearby villages. When a person's life is in danger, he can do anything.
When the time comes, the groups of refugees will be entangled together, and it is not something that more than 100 people in their small Xinghua Village can handle!
When she arrived at the village chief's house, Chen Taohua was chatting with a few women at the door, and when she saw Shu Qingai coming to their house, she immediately turned around and entered the courtyard door directly, "Bang!" With a bang, the door was shut!
When the village chief saw her like this, he closed the door in broad daylight, and he didn't know what this mother-in-law was crazy about!
A few women who were chatting with Chen Taohua saw Shu Qingai's nose for a while, and couldn't help but step forward to play a round game.
After all, Shu Qingai is now a rich family in Xinghua Village, and everyone is still counting on her to be able to do work for the people in the village, guarding the family, and having copper plates in the account every day, such a good thing, which they never thought of.
"Shu Niangzi, why do you have time to walk around the village today? Are you looking for the village chief to arrange work for us again? It's okay, as long as you can only speak loudly, you don't need to go through the village chief, let's not say a word, we will definitely do the work for you! ”
Fang's mother-in-law is much better for Fang's now, because she doesn't want to pave the way for Zhou Zhang's fate.
She can see that if she follows Shu Qingai to build a good relationship, she will be able to live in such a big blue brick house like the Qiu family, even if they are swept away!
He looked at Shu Qingai's frowning brows, and was the first to step forward and greet warmly.
Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, Shu Qingai just looked at the door of the village chief's house solemnly and didn't say anything, and she couldn't help but remind her.
"Hey, isn't it that Shu Niangzi has been in the village for a short time, and she doesn't know my old woman? I'm Fang's mother-in-law, aren't you very close to our daughter-in-law? ”
Hearing her mother-in-law keep talking, Shu Qingai put away her solemn expression and looked at her.
"Auntie, I'm here to find the village chief, I don't know if you see the village chief at home?"
"Yes, yes! I don't know what happened to Chen Taohua, didn't she go with you? What kind of crazy thing is this? ”
Another woman whispered in Shu Qingai's ear, and Shu Qingai smiled.
"It's okay, you continue to talk, I'll go to the village chief."
Shu Qingai smiled politely at everyone, then walked around them to the courtyard gate of the village chief's house and knocked on the wooden door.
Chen Taohua in the courtyard saw that Shu Qingai was so uninteresting! My face is so obvious! Even if you have the cheekiness to knock on the door!
For a while, Chen Taohua opened her throat and scolded!
"What is the God of Wealth in the village, our temple is small, and it can't accommodate your big Buddha! Please come back! ”
Shu Qing's love is on fire! If she hadn't thought about the people in the village, she would have come out with a yarn! This Chen Taohua is really not a fucking thing! When begging her, any good words can be poured out as if they don't need money, and when they finish using them, they turn their faces and don't recognize people!
"Good! Chen Taohua, I've put up with you for a long time! Do you want me to take out the matter of your Li Lili and let people evaluate it in the village, so that you are willing? Then I will fulfill you! ”
Damn, how long will this be torn apart? The mother's family stopped for a few days, and this Chen peach blossom still jumped up.
With a "hula" sound, the courtyard door of the village chief's house suddenly opened from the inside!
Chen Taohua crossed her waist and pointed at Shu Qingai's nose angrily! His eyes seemed to be bursting with fire!
