Lin led his daughter Liu Ying to follow Liu and others back to the third room, in Lin's impression, the third room should still be the yellow mud house in front of the eyes that is almost collapsing, never thought that Liu led the two into a majestic courtyard, in front of the courtyard stood on the horse stone, the courtyard because of the Shangyuan Festival, the red lanterns hung four times, very gratifying, the overall look is like an ordinary solid family in the county, very magnificent.

Lin and Liu Ying's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Lin even approached Liu, and said with envy: "Sister-in-law, how have you lived so well in the past few years?" Is the old house developed, help you? ”

Thinking of the incompatible relationship with the old mansion, Liu couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

Lin Shi looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and lowered his voice and said, "Aren't you looking for a man again?" Is it the guy who just dropped your brother? Is it hunting? He has good skills, but he looks older than you, and he has to be more than ten years older, right? ”

Liu hurriedly covered Lin's mouth, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, that's Mingyue's master, who is over eighty years old, and the whole family respects it, don't talk nonsense, let the villagers hear it, and it should ruin my reputation." I'm still alone with a few babies. ”

Lin Shi was surprised, he didn't expect Cheng Yue to be so old, and he looked young enough.

Lin pursed his lips and said no more, but in his heart he didn't think so, the past few years coincided with the war, and the year was not good, Liu's was a timid and cowardly woman, with a few babies, but the life was good, even if it was separated from that Cheng Yue on the surface, as soon as the oil lamp was extinguished, it was unknown whether it was rolling hot on a kang head.

Where does the Lin family care which wild man the Liu family has an affair with or is reluctant, she naturally has her purpose when she comes, her eyes rolled, and she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I have suffered you all these years, your brother is a stubborn person, and he supported you back then, but you helped your mother-in-law and took out all the good dowry and sold it." Your brother is also for your good, the dowry stays, and now Mingyue doesn't need to buy a dowry when she marries again, Mingyue is in September this year, and it will take more than half a year to see it, this tax is not a small amount, do you have any plans? Is there a suitable person? ”

Liu sighed, listened to Mingyue's laughter and teasing Gao'er and Song'er outside, shook his head again and said: "This Mingyue has had the right idea since she was a child, and she can't listen to persuasion, and now she is so spicy, this family affair is difficult." ”

When Lin heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he secretly pulled Liu from the side of the cauldron to the side, peeked at Mingyue, and saw that everyone didn't pay attention to the two, so he lowered his voice and said: "Sister-in-law, the relationship between the two of us has always been very good, and we have never blushed or mixed our mouths, so I won't hide it from you, you haven't been home all these years, your brother has always had a pimple in his heart, thinking that you not only don't have him in your heart, but also our mother, now our mother is older, and your eyes are a little unclear, don't you go home to do your filial piety?" ”

Liu has always wanted to ask about her mother's parents, but she was afraid that Lin would embarrass her, and when she was unhappy, she went back to her parents' house five times in a row, but she was blasted out by her eldest brother Liu Xi, and she was not even allowed to see her mother, and she couldn't let go of this matter in her heart.

I heard that my mother's eyes were not good, and I still missed her, how could Liu not feel uncomfortable, his eyes turned red, he took Liu's hand, and said a little choked: "Sister-in-law, I know, it must be you who persuaded the eldest brother, I will go back with you when you go back, and do your filial piety in front of your mother." ”

Seeing that Liu's emotions were up, Lin sighed while the iron was hot and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know what your brother's temper is?!" I found several excuses that didn't work, and finally remembered that Mingyue was fifteen years old, so I persuaded him that the two families were their own people after all, and it was good to have a kiss and a kiss, since Mingyue was not easy to find her in-laws, how about marrying back? You know my character, I will definitely be good to Mingyue, save Mingyue's temperament, and marry another family to be angry with my mother-in-law. ”

Liu never expected that the Lin family would raise such a problem, Mingyue is not easy to find her in-laws, but marrying Liu Cheng, who has not seen each other for many years, always feels a little abrupt in her heart.

Seeing that Liu was a little hesitant, Lin added a fire and said: "Alas, your brother has the skill of killing pigs, although our old Liu family is not rich and expensive in the village, it is also quite prosperous, and there are many daughters who want to marry into our family, I just think that our mother is soft, and her age is getting older and older year by year, in case she finds a bad granddaughter-in-law and makes her angry, then I thought of Mingyue ......"

Liu Shi was uncomfortable again, thinking of his mother who he hadn't seen for many years, his eyes were like a river flooding, and he couldn't stop thinking about it, thinking that Mingyue had a reputation as a fierce woman in the village, and it was difficult to find his mother-in-law's family, so Liu Cheng looked at his body and bones although he was thinner, but his temperament was not too strong, Mingyue's pungent temperament was not worried about being angry, and he could help himself do his filial piety and take care of his mother, Liu's heart was a little shaken.

Liu wiped a handful of tears, held Lin's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Sister-in-law, you don't dislike it when you see Mingyue's spiciness, I am already grateful in my heart, I take this matter to heart, and I will discuss it with Mingyue at night." ”

Lin said a little anxiously: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can the daughter herself have the final say?" If you are worried that the Zhai family is not happy, our family can give a dowry of ten taels of silver to ensure that the mouths of the people in the old mansion are blocked. ”

Liu shook his head and said, "It's not about the old mansion and the dowry. So he told the Lin family about the separation of his family from the old house from beginning to end, in detail.

Lin was surprised by this harvest, if he broke away from the relationship, he was afraid that even the dowry of ten taels of silver could be waived, Lin couldn't wait to pump his mouth, hated that he opened his mouth too quickly, and said about the dowry first.

Putting aside the Lin family's calculations, let's talk about Liu Xi and Liu Cheng, father and son, looking for the footprints of the white horse and walking to the mouth of the forest, Liu Cheng grabbed the father who was about to rush in, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, there is a deep mountain inside, we ventured into it, found the white horse, and had to return it to the little beggar; If you can't find it, you lose your life in vain, then you don't have to lose it, let's go back. ”

Liu Xi hesitated and said: "However, Mingyue's girl firmly said that the little beggar is someone we can't afford to offend, and we have to find it, and if we don't look for it, we have to find it." ”

Liu Cheng frowned and said: "Dad, the first time we met that girl, we were pressed by her everywhere, and we don't know her temperament, but just because my sister-in-law is a widow, what big man can you know?" Nine times out of ten, it's nonsense. This horse, I don't think it's necessarily the beggar's, it's Yin Mingyue who is greedy and wants to play our father and son as fools! ”

Liu Xi's face was also a little hesitant, it was true that he was a butcher, but he was indeed not an expert in hunting in the mountains, and he was not 100% sure that he would be able to get out of the way.

The father and son were at the edge of the forest, hesitated and hesitated, and finally simply turned around and returned to the three-room house.

When the father and son returned home, the sky was already dark, and the dishes had been put on the table, and the eight dishes were very rich, including fish, chicken, and meat, and the colors were red, white, and green.

Because there is only one big table at home, they can only eat together, Liu Xi and Liu Cheng wanted to sit down, but when they saw Cheng Gao'er eating chopsticks, they scolded him: "My white dragon horse has not been found yet, why did you come back?" Are you trying to be perfunctory to me? Didn't look for it at all, did you? When I tell my father, I will arrest you two as thieves and robbers. ”

The father and son were angry, Liu Chengyi frowned and said: "It's getting late this day, and if you enter the forest recklessly, you will definitely have to worry about your life, and you can't kill the two of us for a horse." ”

Cheng Gao'er angrily flattened his mouth at Liu and said aggrievedly: "Mother, that's not an ordinary horse, it's a white dragon horse, even my father doesn't let ordinary people touch him, if I know that I stole him, my father will beat my ass." I don't care, you let them go and !! Don't come back if you don't find it!! ”

Liu's face has also changed, although she loves Cheng Gao'er, but she also has respect for her brother, and she also has a love for Liu Cheng's children, the palms and backs of her hands are all meat, and she can't be wronged by this, and she listens to that.

Mingyue frowned and said to Cheng Gao'er: "Cheng Gao'er!" You are a man, and you don't pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic! Yes, it is the responsibility of my uncle to lose the horse, and it is natural to find a horse, but people must have a benevolent heart, it is indeed dangerous to go up the mountain in the middle of the night, the horse is a life, people are also a life, and all beings are equal, for example, you are a beggar or a son, in front of me, you are always a tall child, not a bully, aggressive, and careless of people's lives, if you can't do it, you can leave my house, and from now on the bridge to the bridge, the road to the road, you don't have to see each other. ”

Cheng Gao'er was silent, and the results of countless games showed that he couldn't get half a cent of the bargain with Yin Mingyue, and this family, Yin Mingyue alone had the final say, and even the Liu family listened to her.

Liu Cheng was quite surprised that Mingyue helped him speak, looked up at Mingyue, when he first arrived in Xiangyang Village, the two of them were nervous, they didn't look at her appearance carefully, and they didn't listen to her carefully.

Cheng Gao'er looked at Mingyue cautiously, and said with a look of hope: "Sister Mingyue, I was wrong, I listened to you, and I will never disregard human life in the future." However, you also said that men must be responsible, and if they do something wrong, they must have the courage to accept punishment, and it is true that this white horse was lost by them, and a small punishment should always be deserved, right? Otherwise, Gao'er and Song'er will follow the same example in the future, and if they make mistakes, as long as they die and do not repent, they will be bad. ”

Mingyue looked at the little guy who suddenly changed his attitude, his two big eyes flickered cutely, so he teased the little guy and said, "Yes, you're right, what punishment do you want to give them?" ”

Cheng Gao'er's eyes flashed with a fine light, looked at the Liu family of four, remembered the appearance of the four of them salivating when they first saw the dishes, smiled weirdly, and pointed at chicken, fish, meat and other meat dishes with chopsticks as if coquettishly: "It's very simple, that is, in the next three days, you are not allowed to touch the meat of a chopstick, and the meat is not fishy at all!! ”
