Chapter 10 The Chirping Grass of the Mountains
After that, Shancao accepted the money, and Hemai was relieved. After going to the house and taking a tael of silver, the two went on the road to prepare to go to the grocery store in Qinglu Village.
On the way, when the two of them were about to walk to the front of the main house in Xiaoqing Village, they suddenly heard a woman's heavy and loud voice in front of the house: "Lin Changxi is the daughter-in-law of the loser!" Can't do good things! It's delicious and lazy all day long, and I eat ready-made while lying on the kang! Going out also made the beast make a fuss at home, what kind of system! This lazy thing had to be soaked in the pig cage before! It's a waste of food to live! β
Another shrill female voice chimed in: "No! It's just Lin Changxi, who is afraid of his daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law is greedy and lazy, and she blows the wind in her ears and asks Lin Changxi to kick his mother out! I'm going to laugh to death! Although our Xiaoqing Village is poor, there has never been such an unfilial son! β
"It's not that a family doesn't enter a door, it's not for nothing that this Wang Ba and mung bean can meet each other!" The rugged female voice said with disdain, and said indignantly: "Lin Changxi is such an unfilial son, he should be thundered in the sky!" His family doesn't even have a boy, but he occupies so many fields in our village! I heard from the other in my family that the thief and his wife were thinking about finding a tenant! Why! Why let outsiders cultivate the land in our village? β
"That's it! Sister Biao'er, you should let Li Zheng take back his family's fields and punish them well! Their family of three occupies so much land and can't eat it, so why don't they give it to us? "If his family's land is divided, each household in our Xiaoqing Village will be able to eat one more meal a day!" The shrill female voice said so.
"An extra meal? It's true? The voices of many women whispering could be heard in the room.
"Really! His family has more than 20 acres of land, just a few people, can he plant it? Don't look for tenants! If we can divide it evenly, we can eat one more meal without saying anything! β
The house was like a fried pot, and He Mai listened to it, hey, Li Zheng's family said that there were seven or eight mothers-in-law and women from Xiaoqing Village.
Shan Cao's eyes were straight when he heard it outside, and he asked, "Hemai, Aunt Biao'er, are they going to Uncle Lin's house to grab land?" That's amazing! β
Lin Hemai was silent, and said softly: "They have nothing to do when they are full, at most they are addicted." Mountain grass, let's go in a hurry, it's not interesting to listen to these people brag. β
Shancao responded, and when he passed by the front of Lizheng's house, he listened with his ears sideways for a while, and only when he was far away did he smack his tongue, and said to He Mai in surprise: "Did you just hear it, Uncle Lin's previous things have caused disaster to their livestock." Actually, I heard about it yesterday, but I haven't seen it yet - I heard my mother say that Aunt Zhao sat at the gate and her face was swollen from crying, and the good things of rice, noodles and meat were turned out by sunspots, and Aunt Zhao was so angry that she wanted to slaughter the sunspots and eat meat, but asked Uncle Lin to give a slap. β
Lin Hemai was in a good mood when she heard this, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "That's what she deserves, the dog is used to watch the home and nursing home, who told her not to take care of it?" It is also a waste to eat those rice and noodles in their mouths, so it is better to give them to those poor animals. Those animals are really unlucky in his backyard, they can't even guarantee forage for a day, and they die of sadness on an empty stomach, and they are angry in their hearts! I hate it very much. β
Shancao pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, I heard my grandmother say that this animal is spiritual, even if it can't help the family, but it also knows that the things of the master's family cannot be harmed, and if the livestock that harms the things of the master's family, then the master's family is not a good person." Hmph, I get angry just by seeing Uncle Lin kick you and Grandma Lin out, how can you do this? It's too much! β
Lin Hemai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, even a teenage girl understands the truth, but Lin Changxi, a man who has lived for half his life, doesn't understand! Blindly only know that he was bewitched by the wind blowing by the Zhao family, and cold-blooded and ruthlessly drove the orphan girl and widow out of the house, this point, I'm afraid the beast is better than him!
Lin Hemai took a deep breath, trying not to think about the things Lin Changxi did, thinking about this matter hurts in his brain!
The two of them rushed to Qinglu Village after leaving the village, and on the way, He Mai remembered Yang Liulang's words in the early morning, and his brain hurt even more.
"Hemai, I'm talking to you, why don't you ignore me." Shancao pouted a little aggrievedly, "I said you haven't seen Yang Liulang a few times, should we go to him next day?" β
"Huh?" He Mai was thinking about Yang Liulang's business, and when he heard Shancao say this, he was stunned and said, "What are you looking for him?" β
Shancao smiled happily on his face, "Let him take us up the mountain to hunt!" He is a hunter, and he must be very familiar with the deep mountains and old forests. I heard my father say that there are many herbs in the depths of the mountain, as well as mushrooms and fungus! You can eat these things when they are dried, and you can sell them for silver and wheat, don't you want to make some money? β
He Mai's eyes were astringent, and he smiled bitterly: "Why don't you want to?" Mountain grass, you ...... It's too simple. Where is hunting so easy? It's not safe to go deep into the mountains and old forests. β
How could she not have thought of such a thing as going into the deep mountains and old forests to collect medicine and dig vegetables? But...... Even if she has skills, she is alone, and she doesn't even have a decent home, so what can she do to fight the beasts in the mountains?
The old lady's health is not good, if she has three long and two short, the old lady is in a hurry to get angry, I'm afraid she can pass!
Shancao tilted her head, her naΓ―ve head didn't have as many complicated thoughts as He Mai, and she said crisply: "That's why I said to go find Yang Liulang." Yang Liulang is an Orion, and since he can catch wild beasts, he can naturally guide us. If we don't make a sound, can't we follow him? β
Lin Hemai knew that Shancao had a simple idea, although he couldn't do it at the moment, he didn't say anything about it, he just smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's so easy for you to be a hunter?" It's all about putting your head on the waistband of your pants! Let's not follow to make trouble, not to mention whether Yang Liulang can protect us, just say that your father and mother know, and you have to fight with Yang Liulang? β
Shancao flattened his mouth, "Really...... I can't do anything if I want to, this can't work, that one won't let me, it's really annoying......"
She muttered and chattered all the way, and her mouth never stopped. He Mai had long been accustomed to her chattering, but it didn't matter.
It wasn't until I arrived at the grocery store in Qinglu Village that the mouth of the mountain grass stopped.
"Hemai, my father gave me two cents in the morning, let me save some flowers, let's buy two buns later, right?"
"Buns?" He Mai thought of the steamed bun shop next to the entrance of Qinglu Village, and couldn't help swallowing.
