There is not much farm work in the past two days, Qin Hua and Jia Xiuli have stayed at home, and Shen Yuanyao doesn't have to be yelled at by her sister-in-law to go to the ground, but it's not much better, she is asked to chop wood and carry water from time to time, like the little maid of the landlord's family, and the little maid of the landlord's family doesn't need to chop wood and carry water.

"I don't know if anyone came to look for Ji Wennan on the mountain, seeing that he was so determined, he should have been picked up by someone." Shen Yuanyao thought to herself, pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignoring Jia Xiuli's shouting, and squatted in the yard to dry the herbs.

Qin Hua couldn't stand Jia Xiuli's loud voice, turned to Shen Yuanyao and said, "Listen to your sister-in-law, go outside and pick up some firewood and come back." Shen Yuanyao could only put down the work in her hand, said a few words to Liu Anyi, and then went out with her burden.

Jia Xiuli sat on the mat in front of the hall, raised her eyebrows proudly, and watched her sister-in-law go out to collect firewood.

Shen Yuanyao didn't have time to pay attention to her sister-in-law's thoughts, and it wasn't that she was instigated, but suddenly remembered that someone might accept the herbs in her hands. She just found an opportunity to talk to someone, and when she had the money in hand, did she need to be so aggrieved.

There was a lot of firewood to collect not far from the village, but she didn't go there, and walked along a path at the entrance of the village to the door of a house. The courtyard door was not closed, and there were still people talking in the courtyard.

"Mother, don't pick these up, just let Juanxiu pick them up." Liu Da Niu stepped forward to stop Aunt Liu and took the wood-splitting knife from her hand.

"Do you dislike your mother's uselessness, I'm not old yet." A neutral female voice sounded, but she couldn't resist her son's insistence, so she could only sit cross-legged before returning to the hall.

Shen Yuanyao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a voice sounded in the courtyard, "Who, the courtyard door is not closed." ”

Liu Daniu saw that it was a girl who pushed the door in, and looked at his daughter-in-law who was picking up firewood on the side with a puzzled face, "People are looking for you." After speaking, he lowered his head and chopped wood.

Shen Yuanyao saw that everyone had misunderstood, and immediately waved his hand and explained: "Brother Liu, I am looking for you." At this time, Juanxiu, who was picking up firewood, stopped her hand and looked up at Liu Da Niu, and Aunt Liu, who was cross-legged in front of the courtyard, stared at her eyes and was about to open her mouth to scold.

Seeing that the eyes of the people present were not good, Shen Yuanyao knew that the misunderstanding was even bigger, so he could only explain again: "No, no, I am looking for Brother Liu for something, and I am the third girl of the Shen family." ”

Now the biggest gossip in the village is the Shen family's three girls, who brought a man home, even if they didn't live in the village, they heard a lot of gossip. As soon as she explained this, the faces of the three of them were much better.

Don't blame them for their expressions, it seems that Liu Da Niu's father is not doing personnel, Liu Da Niu has not yet learned to speak, his father took a yellow flower girl and ran away, and the house was also taken back by his grandfather. Leaving the mother and wife to live, a son without a father, a woman without a husband, is criticized in this era, and later even the shelter from the wind and rain is gone.

Fortunately, Aunt Liu saw and did well, she left the village early to go to the city to beg for a living, and when Liu Daniu was a little older, she was sent to the hospital to be a medicine boy, and the life of the mother and mother was better. Now a big girl says she's looking for her son, can she change her face?

Liu Da Niu put down the axe and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What's the matter, just say it." ”

"I don't know if the dried herbs are collected in the city? I picked a lot of herbs and dried them at home. "Shen Yuanyao also knew about the Liu family because of Jia Xiuli's broken mouth, so she has been looking for an opportunity to come over and ask today.

Hearing this, Liu Daniu looked at Shen Yuanyao a few times and asked, "Accept it, but the condition must be good, and if it is not good, I dare not give medicine to the patient." ”

"I brought some here, the condition is the same, Brother Liu can take a look first." Shen Yuanyao took out the medicine bag and handed it to Liu Da Niu.

Liu Da Niu opened the medicine bag, picked up some and examined it carefully, and then crushed it and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff lightly. Shen Sanya has not learned in vain with the old doctor in the past few years, the picking and drying of herbs are meticulously completed, and the color of this herb will not be bad.

"Your herbs are good, but the medical hall doesn't accept herbs from other places casually, you ......"

"If the herbs are okay, help others, what do you say you have to do?" Liu Da Niu slapped Aunt Liu before she finished speaking, she knew Shen Yuanyao's current situation best, not to mention whether that girl was hers or not, with a girl in the village was so ugly, she felt strange and uncomfortable when she heard it.

"If you haven't learned anything else, you can learn to pretend to be like that."

Liu Da Niu was slapped by his mother like this, and the idea of making some profit in the middle was blown away, and he said to Shen Yuanyao: "All the commonly used herbs are collected, but the price will not be too high, and valuable ones such as wild ginseng are also collected, you see how many are sent over, I will go to the city tomorrow." After thinking about it, he continued: "If the sister of the Shen family doesn't believe me, you can go to the city with me." ”

When Shen Yuanyao heard that there was a play, excitement brought to her face, "How can it be, I can trust Brother Liu." After speaking, he thanked Aunt Liu Juanxiu and said goodbye happily.

Aunt Liu looked at Shen Yuanyao's back as she walked away, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes gradually reddened, and she was afraid of being seen by her son and daughter-in-law, so she immediately turned her back and sighed. How could Liu Da Niu not know what his aunt was thinking, when he met a good person, his mother could grit her teeth and survive.

It seems that there is still hope for life, and if it comes, it will be safe.

This excitement lasted until I returned home, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw my sister-in-law's sister-in-law's late face, and the expression on her face was simply taken back. He put the firewood he was carrying, and turned back to pick up the herbs.

"It's just a pile of weeds, and there's something to pick up." Shen Yuanyao didn't bother to pay attention to her cynicism now, these herbs were money spent for nothing, no matter how much it was, it was also an income.

Everywhere, money is the last word.

Jia Xiuli nested in the kitchen and stretched out her head to look at the yard, seeing that the aunt and nephew were picking up herbs and didn't have time to look here, she fished out two rabbit legs from the pot and gave them to Shen Yongjian and Shen Yongzong, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, eat while it's hot." ”

Shen Yongjian and Shen Yongzong took the rabbit leg and bowed their heads and ate it, Jia Xiuli turned around and took out a piece of rabbit meat from the pot and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely to the two of them: "Eat quickly, don't waste it." ”

The two brothers ate so quickly and urgently, they almost didn't chew the bones and swallowed their stomachs, and after eating, they licked the corners of their mouths and asked his mother, "A-Niang, the rabbit meat is so fragrant, I still want to eat it." Shen Yongzong also nodded on the side, and wanted to eat another piece.

Jia Xiuli glared, and was about to open her mouth to scold the two of them, thinking that she was taking the two of them to eat secretly, so she could only lower her voice and said, "You can eat when Grandpa and Daddy's house comes, just go out now." Seeing that the two of them had gone out, he turned around and took out a porcelain bowl full of rabbit meat and added soup, and hid it in the bottom of the cupboard.

Shen Yongjian and Shen Yongzong were reluctantly kicked out, and as soon as they raised their eyes, they met Shen Yuanyao's gaze, and grinned. The child is still young, how do you know what it means to eat secretly, not to mention that their aunt asked them to eat, it is not considered stealing.

Shen Yuanyao also glanced at it, and Shen Yong saw that the two brothers' mouths were not wiped clean. Liu Anyi didn't notice the strangeness of the two brothers at all, and seriously helped her turn over the herbs, her cheeks were red, and she felt her aunt looking at her, and she raised her face to give her a smile.

Shen Yuanyao touched the bun on his head, she didn't want to care about it when she was still young, but her sister-in-law was really addicted to taking advantage of it, just a few pieces of rabbit meat had to be so sneaky, she was in a good mood now and was too lazy to care, there was always a time when she could make her suffer.

"When my aunt is rich, what do you want to eat?"

"Can I buy pen and ink, I want to write." Liu Anyi looked serious and replied cautiously. It's been a long time since he's touched a pen, and every day he picks up a branch and gesits on the ground. He knows that it is different now, his home is no longer the home he used to be, there is no grandfather who holds him and recites the three-character scripture, there is a very fierce aunt, and there are two more brothers who love to pull his hair in a bun, everything is different.

Liu Anyi now only has his aunt, and only his aunt is alone with him.

Jia Xiuli, who passed by behind them, sneered, "As long as you can write, it will be difficult to raise you." ”

Shen Yuanyao glanced at her coldly, "You can't wipe your mouth if you eat secretly." Jia Xiuli wiped her mouth meaningfully, and the side of her mouth was clean, only to know that she was deceived by Shen Yuanyao, and she was so angry that she was about to jump to see her mother-in-law coming this way, so she could only suppress her anger and walk away with a cold snort.
