Chapter 67: For Whom
"The third sister-in-law is a reasonable person." Lu Aifen's voice was soft, and she stretched out her hand to pull Li Ming, who was still crying on the side, and while dressing him up, she said: "Ming'er don't cry, shout 'Fourth Aunt', Fourth Aunt will give you candy cubes to eat!" ”
Yue Liming really stopped crying, opened a pair of teary eyes, sniffed hard, and said very loudly: "Fourth aunt!" ”
"Hey! Good baby. Lu Aifen smiled and handed him a piece of candy.
"Okay, okay, you're gluttonous, you're hungry for anything." Ding Juhua stood up from the stool, pulled Li Ming, and said, "Big brother, I'm really sad today. I won't stay here any longer, I'll take Liming home first. ”
"Let's go, be careful on the road." Yue Fu sighed, this third family is really arrogant, and his words are reversed.
Ding Juhua glanced at the cherries on the side, led Liming into the courtyard, went out, and sneered at the few neighbors who were gathered outside one by one, and then led Liming away.
"Big brother, the third sister-in-law is such a person, her mouth is happy and straight, in fact, her heart and eyes are good" Lu Aifen saw Ding Juhua leaving, and turned around to comfort Yue Fu: "Don't be angry, drink saliva first." As he spoke, he fetched some hot water from the stove that had just been extinguished and handed it to him.
"Alas!!" Yue Fu sighed again: "The situation here is miserable enough, your second brother and sister-in-law said no, no, there are only a few left, she is already worried and panicked, she doesn't help, and she has to make trouble like this every day." ”
"I heard about last night's incident, too." Lu Aifen found a small stool and sat down, pulling the cherry: "It's really hard for you sisters, you have to support this family, you have to eat and drink, and you have to use a stick to drive out thieves." Sakura, your third aunt is also for your good, but she is a little anxious, don't you blame her, ah? ”
Cherry nodded lightly and didn't say anything. She always felt that this fourth aunt was not as understanding as she seemed on the surface. At least when the sisters were hungry for food, they didn't see her reaching out to help. But every time the third aunt gets into trouble, she will jump out and pretend to be a good person.
"Also, your house has been burglarized, and this is not a trivial matter. There's nothing you can do, but you can't just do it. In this way, my family still has a few iron clips used by your fourth uncle to hunt bears in the mountains, and after a while, ask Mi Tao or Star Fruit to go home with me to get it, and put it under the wall of your house, which will have a certain effect. It's just that you have to be careful on weekdays, that thing, if you're not careful, you will break your leg. Lu Aifen smiled slightly, she already had a delicate face, this smile is even better-looking, not like a married woman with children at all. No wonder the fourth uncle would rather run around for a long time for her, just for her to have a beautiful dress and a beautiful bracelet.
"Hey." Cherry smiled in response. I secretly thought in my heart that if that kind of bear clamp caught a person, it could indeed break a leg. If you accidentally step on it, you don't want to keep one leg. If the thief steps on it and breaks someone's leg, I'm afraid it will also attract resentment. In ancient times, theft was generally punished by three or five years in prison, but if you break your leg, it's different. The third aunt was ostensibly doing a favor, but in fact it seemed to be ......
Lu Aifen comforted Yue Fu a few more words, then got up to go home, and Mi Tao went home with her to get the iron clip.
"Mi'er, slow down." Lu Aifen kindly took Mi Tao's arm and went out, and as soon as she stepped out with her front foot, Yue Fu's sigh came from behind her: "The fourth daughter-in-law is reasonable." It would be good if the third daughter-in-law could have half of her knowledge. Alas......"
Lu Aifen smiled at the corner of her mouth, and left with Mi Tao satisfied.
"Uncle is there too? I just saw that the fourth aunt is still out of this courtyard, what's the matter? Lu Aifen had just left on the front foot, and Mian Tao came back with walnuts, how smart she was, she had already guessed what was going on.
Cherry probably told the matter, and the two sisters comforted Yue Fu a few more words, and Yue Fu sighed and got up and went back to his yard.
"Third sister, why are you sighing too?" Cherry looked at the cotton peach carefully, and her always indifferent face was slightly melancholy. I think it didn't go well when I took the walnuts out to run errands just now: "Isn't the matter of tenantland not going well?" ”
"Not really." Mian Tao closed her eyes lightly and took a deep breath: "Things are going well in the tenant land. And, some of it went too well. ”
"How?"
"The prime field is a five-cent rent, a deposit of eight cents per acre. However, they gave a four-cent rent, and no deposit was required. Mian Tao frowned slightly: "I guess I guess, it must have been the person who greeted him in advance." When he speaks, who in our village can not listen? Miao Yuze has already gone to study in the county, and now besides that person, who else has this ability? ”
"If that's the case...... Cherry gasped lightly, pondered slightly, and pulled the cotton peach out of the hall and entered the courtyard: "Third sister, I have the same opinion on this matter as you, and I guess it is related to that person." But you don't need to be in a hurry, let's think of a way to do this slowly, even if he can do things unconsciously, he doesn't want us to feel uncomfortable, and he can be regarded as a reasonable person. But this matter must not be told to the eldest sister again, recently our family is building a yard again, and it is a thief, and now a third aunt is making a big fuss again, she has tossed enough. ”
"That's nature." Mian Tao nodded, and sighed again: "I'm not afraid that he will be difficult for me, I'm afraid that he will be difficult for you." ”
"We're grasshoppers tied to a rope, can he still know this? If he is difficult for us, is he not difficult for you? It's been so long, if he wanted to be embarrassed, it would have been difficult a long time ago, and he would have to wait until now? In Cherry's opinion, Wu Ye has worked hard for cotton peaches, and he can be regarded as a person with the utmost affection. If the third sister and his family Ke'er can fall in love, this can be regarded as a good family affair. It's a pity that at least for now, the third sister doesn't have that mind.
The two sisters were hiding under the wall in the courtyard and whispering, when there was a knock at the courtyard gate: "Is the star fruit girl at home?" ”
It's the voice of Kim Bok
It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived. The two sisters looked at each other and stepped forward to open the door.
"Yo, Cotton Peach." Jin Fu saw that it was the cotton peach who opened the door, so he hurriedly saluted, and arched his hand towards the cherry: "Cherry girl." ”
"What is Uncle Fu doing so politely, what's the matter?"
"Cotton Peach Girl, that's what happened. I heard that your family was robbed yesterday, our Wu Ye said, our Xiaomiao Village has always been simple, and there has not been a single theft case in a few years, and yesterday's incident has been related to the security of the entire Xiaomiao Village, he asked, do you want to report this matter to the official? If you want to report to the official, he will help you up and down. Also, if there was any loss of property yesterday, it was up to him to admit it, after all, he had been respected by the villagers for so many years, and now that such a thing happened, he should not have expressed it.
Obviously it's for the cotton peach, but I still have to say it so high-sounding, what is it for the security of Xiaomiao Village...... Cherry raised her eyebrows slightly, and quickly answered: "Uncle Fu, no need." We don't have anything missing, and people are fine. On the contrary, he beat the thief hard, and there was no need to report to the official. "When it comes to the man in black, this matter naturally can't be reported to the official. It's a trivial matter to provoke Lu Dashi, in case it annoys the man in black, but he can't eat and walks around. What official would stay here 24 hours a day to protect the safety of his sisters for the sake of a single robbery?
"Those girls are frightened, don't ......"
"No need, Wu Ye Xie still remembers us. It's just that others are busy, so we won't trouble him. Mian Tao said very politely: "I also have to thank Uncle Fu for us, Wu Ye, Xiaomiao Village has a character like him, it is a blessing for the villagers." ”
"Cotton Peach Girl is too good at talking!" Jin Fu laughed at Mian Tao's words, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to Fu Ye's words like this." ”
"Uncle Fu walks slowly."
"Yes." Jin Fu arched his hand and turned to walk east.
"Third sister, this Wu Ye is very good at doing things?" Jin Fu walked away, and Cherry shook her head slightly. Unfortunately, it is destined to be in vain.
"Or how do you think he got his fame now?" Mian Tao looked indifferent and had no expression.
"Third sister, then shall we still occupy that land?"
"Tenants, why not tenants? He's already spoken for us, so we can't waste it, right? Besides, if there is land that is rented cheaply, it is not to be tenants, but to tenant the expensive ones, and fools do such things. Mian Tao suddenly approached Cherry, stared at her face, and smiled softly: "I paid all the deposits, and I have five acres." I went to see the land, and the five acres of fields were all high-quality fertile fields, and the soil was all black. Because of the man's words, he gave us this good land. The head of that piece of land is a drainage ditch, the ditch is wide at the top, and the head of five acres of land is not small, so it's enough for you, right? ”
"Enough, enough." Cherry was happy, and there was hope for planting yams: "But the ground near the drainage ditch will not be too wet?" "Yams are easy to grow, but one thing is very important, the soil should be moderately dry and humid. If it is wet, it will rot the roots, and if it is dry, the rhizome will not grow.
"Not wet. It is said that it is a gutter, but in fact there is no water in it at all. I heard that water only flows in the summer when it rains heavily, and it is a sloping area, so if there is water, it will quickly flow downstream. Mian Tao stretched out her finger and poked at Cherry's tender face, then turned around and entered the house: "I'll go and talk to the eldest sister." ”
Jin Fu returned to Wu's house and told Wu Ye what he said when he arrived in the small courtyard of Yue's house, and how Mian Tao answered.
Wu Ye closed his eyes, lay on the recliner and shook gently, silent. Jin Fu had no choice but to bow and wait.
After half a pillar of incense, Wu Ye opened his eyes faintly, half-squinting: "If someone can't get along with her, they can't get along with me." Keep an eye on it, and if there is another such thing, return to me immediately. ”
"Yes." Jin Fu bowed his head respectfully, and after answering, he quietly raised his head again, and said tentatively: "Master Wu, forgive me for being too talkative, even if you have done so many things, people don't appreciate it, it is better to ask Young Master Ke to contact her more." Young Master Ke is a talent, and he is polite, after getting along for a few days, which girl can not be tempted? ”
Wu Ye laughed 'hehe', his chest rose and fell, and his voice was very loud and deafening: "Jin Fu, Jin Fu, after so many years of following me, you still can't guess my mind after all." So, after all, you can only be a housekeeper. Who do you think I'm doing so much for? ”
"For whom ......?" Jin Fu was confused, not for Young Master Ke, but for Young Master Song? But Young Master Song is only eleven years old this year...... Could it be ......
He gasped, raised his head sharply, and looked at Wu Ye with a peaceful smile on his face.
