Mu Qiange smiled heartily: "Although you plant, it's just that this first batch, I have to book first."

"Scheduled?"

"Yes." Mu Qiange picked up a piece of spicy food on the plate with chopsticks, and smiled: "Let's plant this little red cannon first."

Next to her, Aunt Li was a little worried: "Qiange, tell me the truth with Aunt Li, won't it be you who are changing your way to help us again."

"Aunt Li, look where you want to go."

After Mu Qiange first told her about the little red cannon bringing business back to the store, he comforted: "Now it seems that the seeds that you and your uncle kept at that time are not useless. We are a man who knows the inside and the outside, and we will certainly not be short of the money in your house. “

"It's all a trivial matter, I'm afraid that our family will always hold you back like this, you're already busy enough to open a tavern in the city, and we're really a little reluctant to worry about our family."

Aunt Li sighed: "To be honest, you and Da Yang are doing me a great favor to our family, but I don't want to take advantage of you in everything, I'm always afraid of making trouble for you...... Speaking of which, your uncle and I are still incompetent......"

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Aunt Li."

Mu Qiange persuaded: "You can also see that you helped us a lot when I was in the countryside, and now is the time for me to repay you, besides, isn't this day getting better and better in the future." When this year's food comes down, Aunt Li should also make some good clothes for Zhuangzi and Uncle. “

Zhuangzi will be thirteen after the New Year, and he will soon be an adult. Hearing this, Aunt Li burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, good, as long as you live well, our hearts are better than anything else."

Zhuangzi's face turned red when he was said, and he stood up and dropped a sentence: "I'll go and serve dinner for Sister Qiange and Dad."

After that, he fled in the eyes of everyone with a smile.

"The strong son has also grown up."

After sighing, he suddenly stood up and went to the closet to take out a set of clothes as if he remembered something, and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Try this."

Opened the clothes and compared them to Mu Qiange, seeing that the size was the same, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The cloth you brought last time, in addition to the three of us made two bodies, I also made one for you." I just didn't expect you to come back so quickly, hey, and you're missing a sleeve. But it's also fast, and I got it in the afternoon, and I can just take it back and wear it when I go back. ”

Looking at this dense stitch, it is not difficult to think of how Aunt Li worked hard for a while. Mu Qiange couldn't help but look sour: "Aunt Li, I have something to wear now, don't always remember me."

Before Aunt Li could speak, she suddenly heard a bang outside the yard, followed by a sharp voice: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about, talk nonsense, believe it or not, I tore your mouth!"

Mu Qiange's face changed suddenly.

This voice is the person she will wake up from in her dreams - Aunt Du.

The people in the outhouse were also alarmed, and everyone went out to take a look, and they were immediately angry

Indignant.

It turned out that Aunt Du was beating Zhuangzi. Her fat body pressed against Zhuangzi's thin body, grabbing his hair with one hand and squeezing his face with the other. The bow was opened left and right, and the corners of Zhuangzi's mouth were bloodied.

"Stop!"

Aunt Li, Mu Qiange and Da Yang all stepped forward to pull it, but Aunt Du not only didn't let go, but also stuck Zhuangzi's neck and scolded and scolded: "You stinky boy, you have a mother and no mother, today I will do my duty as an elder and personally teach you how to behave."

Seeing Zhuangzi's eyes burst out when he was pinched, his face became more and more red, and he had no more breath in and out.

When he was in danger, Mu Qiange finally freed up a hand and patted Da Yang, who was also nervous: "Use all your strength, do you want to make a fuss?"

Da Yang came to his senses at this time, he was afraid of hurting Aunt Du before, but now he kicked and pushed hard, and finally opened Aunt Du.

"What's going on!"

Zhuangzi's father blushed: "Brother and sister, so decent, why are you beating the child?"

"Hit him? Hmph, it's still light. I'm telling you! ”

Aunt Du pointed at his neck and scolded: "Your strong man came to my house to steal things, do you say, should you be beaten?"

What!

Everyone looked at each other, but no one believed it.

"Impossible!"

Aunt Li was categorical: "I know better than anyone else what my own temperament is, my son won't steal things, there must be a misunderstanding in the middle." His aunt, just ask Er Ya in a while. ”

"What else is there to ask, everyone has stolen goods!"

Aunt Du pointed to the egg in Zhuangzi's hand: "She came to my house to steal eggs, what's the matter, shouldn't she beat it?"

Zhuangzi's father trembled angrily: "Brother and sister, just for an egg, you just beat the child like this, too, it's too ruthless."

"What! Haven't you heard a word, big brother? Stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you grow up. You have raised your son badly, and you don't want to lose face, but don't bother the villagers."

"Aunt Du!"

Da Yang couldn't hold back any longer, and clenched his fists angrily: "Don't steal something from a strong man, I believe in the character of the strong brother." Even if the county magistrate decides the case, he has to listen to the testimony of both sides, and there is no reason to listen to your words and settle the matter. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, not only Aunt Li's family, but also Mu Qiange looked at Da Yang in surprise.

The only one in the audience was relieved, but I was afraid that it was only Mu Qiange.

It seems that Dayang has experienced so many things, and this time it can be regarded as the first results!

"You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Aunt Du quickly regained her composure after the initial nervousness: "This is a family matter, and it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs." What kind of judgment is not on the case, how can you interject when we speak. If the village chief is still in the village, he won't be able to slap your mouth! ”

"Dad, mother."

Zhuangzi said in a hoarse voice, and opened his mouth weakly: "I, I didn't steal."

Aunt Li tightened

Holding his body, he couldn't hold back anymore and shed tears: "Mother knows that Zhuangzi is a good boy and won't take other people's things."

Zhuangzi sat up with difficulty, first coughed violently, and after tearing his heart, he looked at Mu Qiange with red eyes: "Sister Qiange, I went to the kitchen just now, and I saw my chicken running over there, so I wanted to call it back." But I didn't expect that there was an egg lying under its body, I went to pick up the egg, but she saw it, scolded me for stealing, I said a few words, and chased after me and beat me. ”

Zhuangzi burst into tears and trembled his voice: "Sister Qiange, no matter how poor my family is, my father and mother will not allow us to do this kind of thing......"

She was anxious to explain, because she was afraid that she would not misunderstand her own home, and she would never come to his house again in the future.

Mu Qiange nodded and comforted her: "Don't worry, my sister sees it in her eyes, you are a good boy, don't talk now, take care of your voice, you know?"

Zhuangzi cast a grateful look.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Aunt Du suddenly became anxious: "At the beginning, you built the house after the village chief said it, but at that time, it was said that the wall was the boundary, and everything here is mine, and since the egg appeared in the courtyard wall of my house, it is mine." You strong sons, this is stealing! ”

Although Aunt Du's family and Aunt Li's family are neighbors, there is still some distance between the two families, and they have never heard of any clear walls.

Mu Qiange couldn't hold back, and said earnestly to Zhuangzi's father: "Uncle, I don't know what you think in your heart. But if this were me, I wouldn't let people bully children like this. ”

Good guy, where is the lesson, it's clearly going to kill people.

"What kind of thing are you, and what qualifications do you have to take care of our two families." At this time, I didn't care about what kind of rich person Mu Qiange was, first he didn't give himself any good things, and he gave such a good paddy field to the Li family, and then made such a big face for the Zhuangzi family. Now the people in Zhuangzi are laughing at her everywhere, and her family has always been harsh, no one is willing to help them at all, and the grain in the field is about to be barren, which is really anxious!

At this time, Mu Qiange was naturally not angry.

The housework of the two families is indeed like this, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to intervene, so she didn't squeak at first. Now that he was robbed by Aunt Du, Mu Qiange was not in a hurry and did not refute.

"She's not qualified, I'm qualified!"

Aunt Li's lips trembled, and she choked out tears: "Gui Zhiniang, over the years, whether it was in the past or now, we have ignored your countless unreasonable troubles. I don't even care what you're going to do, do I? ”

Aunt Du rolled her eyes, a little uncomfortable.

As the saying goes: An honest person is more afraid when she gets angry, because you don't know how long she has been suppressed, how strong this anger will be, and how deep this resentment will be.

Now, Aunt Li is the honest person who was forced to finally hold back.

"In the past, you instigated the people of the village to not help our family when they needed it most.

It's not our family, and most of the reason why we are living the way we are today is caused by you. ”

She hugged Zhuangzi, tears rained down, but she looked at Zhuangzi's father deadly: "His father, if you still recognize me and our son, then go to the village chief today, and we will be a witness, in the future, our old Li family and their Du family will not violate the river water when they enter the water!"

"Yo!"

Aunt Du hugged her arms and looked like she was watching a good show: "It's back to the village chief's house, what's the matter, you still want to get some oil and water."

She's not afraid at all, just these two people can't get a fart out of the three-stick master. was fooled with a few casual words, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wanted in their Li family, and let herself take advantage of it every time.

It's a pity -

"Who said that!"

Aunt Li wiped away her tears and stood up: "Aunt Du, you touch your chest and think about it, you didn't take our family's good things under various pretexts, they were borrowed in the name, but they were returned."

Aunt Du glanced at her, and said slowly: "What are you talking nonsense with red mouth and white teeth, when did you borrow your good things, why don't I know?" Who in the village saw and who heard? Otherwise, if you bring in the people you have seen and heard, and confront me, if they testify that I have done this, I will not say that I will return it, and I will add 30% interest. ”

The people who heard this were indignant, and Zhuangzi's father's hands trembled. But she raised her chin proudly, the sneer at the corner of her mouth and the smugness in her eyes were overflowing.

"Good!"

Aunt Li seemed to think of this result, and was unusually calm: "If my brother and sister say so, then we have to find someone to praise and comment on this matter."

Aunt Du didn't seem to hear clearly, and plucked her ears hard, very exaggerated: "I heard it right, I really found someone to judge, why?"

"Just because of this, I didn't make an IOU with the village chief!"

Aunt Li looked at her calmly and said this fact: "No matter what we borrow from Zhuangzi, we need to make a note from the village chief, and both parties sign and draw a pledge. At that time, his father was sick and couldn't get up. I am busy with the other in the field and busy with the family, and there are cases where I neglect this.
