In the evening, when Liu Changdi was delivering firewood, Liu Wu asked him to take the cloth back to a basket, and Liu put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked Liu Ya to call Widow Li's mother and daughter.

Liu Ya didn't want to go with a twisted face, Liu Mao jumped off the kang and wanted to go, but was scolded back by Liu Wu.

Liu's face was dumbfounded, and he lowered his voice and said: "Su'er, we live in the Li family, and your Li family's aunt and Xiaoshi don't look up and don't look up, they all ate and drank together a few days ago, why didn't you suddenly scream?" ”

Liu Fu sighed lightly and said: "Mother, I used to think about it, and between people, it is still clear." ”

There is an old saying that the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. Just now, when Liu Wu gave Widow Li a tael of silver wages, Widow Li was grateful on the surface, but in fact she was dissatisfied, although the disappointment in her eyes flashed, but it still did not escape the eyes of Liu Wu, who was as careful as a hair.

When she first started embroidering pillows, Liu Wu didn't hide it from her, knowing that a pillow Huang Dongjia gave her a tael of silver, and twelve of them were twelve taels of silver.

Widow Li naturally thought that she taught willow buds to get started with embroidery, and she was friendly with willow catkins, so if she didn't give half of it, she should have at least three or four taels of silver.

In the end, Liu Wu not only gave her a tael of silver, but even kicked her out of the work she got back from the Huang family, which made her not a little bit worse in her heart.

Widow Li obviously forgot that what she taught Liu Ya was just an introductory stitch method for embroidery, which was the most common stitch method, and there were not a few people in the village;

She forgot that one tael of silver, although less than twelve taels of silver, was higher than the half-year price of her original embroidery work day and night.

Seeing that Liu Wu was so firm, Liu Shi said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Su'er, why are you so hard-hearted? The bud embroidery that your Aunt Li taught, not to mention the silver you get, and you didn't let her do the new work of this prison clothes, and now you don't eat together, who is not angry about this matter, who can be happy? ”

Liu Wu sighed and said to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, tell me why you don't want to invite Aunt Li to dinner!" ”

Liu Ya flattened her mouth for a long time and didn't say anything, seeing several pairs of eyes looking at her, her eyes were red, she put the chopsticks on the table heavily, and said angrily: "Mother, what the eldest sister said is right, don't be honest to anyone in the future, otherwise you will be regarded as a fool." ”

Liu and Liu Mao listened to the clouds, but Liu Wu had already guessed eight or nine, when she lost the painting in the morning, Widow Li and Zhang Daya drew a clear line on the surface, but in fact, she was anxious to let Zhang Daya leave the Liu family in every sentence.

This aroused Liu Wu's suspicions, and later only one dragon picture was found in Zhang Daya's hair, and the other seven pictures were missing, and Liu Wu guessed that it was related to Widow Li.

Liu Ya listened to Liu Wu's advice, secretly stared at Widow Li for a day, and unexpectedly found that Widow Li went to the thatched house six times a day, and the time to go to the thatched house each time was not short.

When Widow Li came out, Liu Ya also went to the thatched house, and found the seven pictures under the box where the straw was used to wipe the buttocks, which had been scratched by carbon strips and lost their original appearance.

You don't have to think about it to know that this widow Li is afraid that these seven paintings will be burned to ashes like dragon pictures, so she spends all her time copying them and memorizing them in her own mind, which is much more affordable than painting them on canvas.

Liu was dumbfounded, he never expected such a result, he remembered what the old man said, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts.

Liu Ya was afraid that Liu would not believe it, so she took out the seven unshapedly patterns that had been copied, and pouted angrily: "Sister, what should I do?" I couldn't bear to settle accounts with her, you're back, we can't just settle it like this?! ”

Liu Fu shook his head and said, "What can you do if you settle accounts?" She beat a rake and said that Zhang Daya stole it, so you have nothing to do. Besides, she was a widow with a son, and she was looking for her to settle accounts, and she was not deep, nor shallow, and according to my reputation, most of the villagers would think that I had bullied her. It's better to endure it first, whether it is a blessing or a curse is not yet known. ”

After this contact, the catkins were physically and mentally exhausted, and they wanted to find a new house in the village, preferably the kind with a single courtyard, and it would be better to buy it in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that after inquiring for a long time, no one in the village sells the house, and the broken house of the Lizheng family can be sold, but it is occupied by the Li family.

No, you can only say that it is the New Year first, or the spring is open, and the top priority is to earn enough money to be legitimate, so the family is not a single family now, and you can't pass the official status if you buy a house.

......

The villagers who were originally in the state of cat winter, because of the new work of 500 prison clothes in He's house, caused the women of the whole village to be lively, and ran to He's house every day, some sent the finished prison clothes, and some came to pick up cloth, so it was not lively.

Because there is no technical content, the female red and skillful woman, at the end of the day, can even sew ten sets of prison clothes, this income is fifty yuan, which makes the women of the whole village like dumplings boiling in a pot, even more boiling, to the He family more diligently, almost the threshold of Liu Changdi's house was flattened.

Now the He family, tired and happy, in the past, because of the inferiority complex of not having a son, was praised by the women of the whole village for being cured, full of self-confidence, and will also put up a shelf in charge.

Just like now, he measured the clothes made by the Chen family's aunt with a solemn face and the palm of his hand, and said with a displeased face: "Auntie, you are receiving an eight-foot cloth, this set of clothes plus wear and tear, at most seven and a half feet of cloth is used, and it consumes half a foot, you have been a female celebrity for half your life, and you will not make such a mistake." Don't you want to leave your little grandson as a small belly pocket? If your son-in-law knew that this was the material for prison clothes, would he break off your friendship? ”

Aunt Chen smiled awkwardly, shook her hand desperately and said: "No, no, I, I did it at night, yes, a little dazzled, the prison clothes made are smaller, smaller, the next one is no, it won't be ....."

He put his face down, took out two pennies, and handed them to Chen: "Auntie, the salary of a set of clothes is five cents, although you are small, but fortunately, the prisoner can still use it if he is small, but the half-foot cloth you left down is not used, and the silver money of the half-foot cloth is deducted, and you are given two cents. This is a prison uniform made for the official family, which annoys the official family, and it is to eat the official board, don't wait for other prisoners to put it on, but put it on yourself, and make it yourself, but it is ready-made. ”

This fright, really extraordinary, not only did the Chen family dare not make any more crooked ideas, but the other women also behaved, and the prison clothes they made were much better.

Liu Wu nodded secretly, the He family in the past, because he did not give the Liu family a son to inherit the ancestry, the whole person's sense of existence is extremely low, so that the people in the village are easy to ignore her existence, this raised eyebrows and exhaled, it is still quite imposing, the key is that compared to Widow Li, Liu Wu believes in the He family more.

Because He was busy, Liu took Xiao Liuyue to his home, and teased the little baby every day, and his life was suddenly a lot fuller.

When the 500 prison clothes were finally completed, He Shi broke his foot while holding the rest of the cloth, and he was so swollen that he couldn't even get off the kang.

Originally, it was not a big deal, and it would be good to raise it for a few days, Nai He He is now the "God of Wealth" in the eyes of the women in the village, and he naturally can't be underestimated if he is injured, so he stepped on the threshold again to visit.

The things taken are not anything valuable, but they just make the He family feel valued, the east family sends two sweet potatoes, the west family sends three radish, the south family sends two frozen pears, and the north family sends four small persimmons and other food.

Several women sat on the kang and chatted with He, He sighed, and said to one of the women: "Sister-in-law of the Song family, I can't work on the ground now, please do something, help me survive for a few days The tiger bones sent by my mother's uncle, Brother Song's leg hurts in winter, you can take a bowl when you go back every day." ”

"Huh? Tiger bones? Sister-in-law Song looked surprised, and then said suspiciously: "Sister, didn't your mother's house wait for the snow to melt before you can go?" Why did you send tiger bones? I heard that this thing is more than ten taels of silver, my family, my family Chunsheng and his father drank it, drank too much, and was embarrassed......"

He said with a proud face: "The uncle I am talking about is my distant uncle, my grandfather's stepson's son, the concubine's stepmother's family, the distant brother of the fifth nephew's family, the nephew, I haven't moved around for decades, and now I open a medical clinic in the county, very famous, I heard that I had a broken foot, and I specially sent someone to send the tiger bone, I said no, my uncle had to give, I said I didn't drink, and the catkins didn't let ......."

Looking at He Shi's arrogant and disgusted expression, Liu Wu was stuck in his throat with a mouthful of old blood, showing some vomiting internal injuries, especially imagining He Langzhong's face after taking out the tiger bone, how wonderful and exciting.

As for the inextricable connection between the He family and He Langzhong, I'm afraid no one can tell, the only thing that is certain is that both of them are surnamed He, and they guessed that they should be one family for five hundred years, so that's it.

The only reason why I have to send tiger bones is that He happened to have a foot at the right time and in the right place, and if it was someone else, Liu Wu would also make up 800 reasons to make that person believe that He Langzhong's "heart of fist" in sending tiger bones.

Song's father-in-law had a sore leg in winter, and he heard that he could borrow He's light and drink more than ten taels of silver a tiger bone, and his heart blossomed, without saying a word, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and began to boil tiger bones, because there was Liu Cuihong who had boiled for more than half a month, and Song, who was going to stay up for a night, boiled tiger soup after an hour, and the soup was rich.

Song couldn't help but have a layer of suspicion on his face, how could this tiger bone be different from the imagined time?

He's Medical Center is a well-known existence in the entire Jiangyin County, and it can be said to be the authority of the medical community in Jiangyin County, and it cannot be easily doubted; And the tiger bones were personally taken over by the Song family, all of them were white and clean; She boiled it herself, and the time is undoubted.

So, the reason why Liu Cuihong stayed up all night is that there is only one point, what Liu Cuihong bought for Li Wenwu was not roasted tiger bones, but fresh tiger bones, and even tiger bones.

Song pouted, it was none of her business, she was not a person who wanted to cause trouble.
