CHAPTER XXIII

But with such an accident, I'm afraid that Zhang Laohan won't have the face to go out of the house again. [No pop-ups. And they don't know now that Zhang Laohan is not only faceless to go out, but when he goes to the yard, he can see those people outside the fence who point at him with disdain and even spit.

How had he been sinned before? Even if he tore his face with Zhang Manho's disaster star last time, he was just dragged to the ancestral hall to sign a letter of severance, at most he was laughed at by outsiders. But this time, it is the first case in Peachtree Bay in decades, and it is simply a shame to be thrown home.

As soon as he thought of this, he looked at Zhang Erbao who was recuperating from his injuries on the kang and became angry. Touching the broom and about to pull it, but every time he was blocked by Liu's screaming, Zhang Laohan could still swallow that breath at first. But after a long time, I was scolded and howled by Liu in my ear every day, where is there still patience? No, I was just spurned in front of someone, and when I came back, I picked up a broom and pulled it on the kang fiercely.

When Liu saw that his son was about to be beaten, he immediately felt that the whole person was not good, so he pounced on Zhang Laohan and scratched it. Zhang Laohan might as well be pushed and scolded by Liu's like this, and the whole person hit the bench on the ground directly, and then crackled and slammed into the corner of the Eight Immortals Table behind.

Originally, Zhang Laohan just wanted to get angry, scare and scare Zhang Erbao to make him feel comfortable for a while, but he didn't want that person from the Liu family to go crazy and actually tore up with him directly, and even any swear words and bad words came out, and his brain burst out when he heard it.

Especially when I hit the corner of the table, my head was bleeding, and I got it? directly pressed the person under his body and sobbed his mouth again and again. After a chicken, flying and dog jumping, Liu's eyes were slapped with Venus, and he was still making a fuss. In the end, Zhang Laohan felt unlucky, and yelled at Liu: "You loser, if it weren't for you, would the old Zhang family be what it is now?" Not to mention this embarrassing son, even the boss can't allow others to bully him like this. ”

Liu was beaten once, where is there any strength at this time, but when he heard Zhang Laohan's scolding of his head and face, he immediately became angry. Feelings are her fault, when she climbed her kang head, how could she not see his face!

"You still have the face to say that I, who begged to climb the old lady's kang head secretly, why is it that now the old lady is old and uncomfortable to serve you, so she has changed her face? Let me tell you, what kind of thing do you really think you are, Erbao is learning from him, besides, Zhao is an old hen who doesn't lay eggs, can you complain about Erbao looking for a woman if she doesn't while occupying the pit? Sensei said that she is a widow, as long as she can give birth to a son, I can recognize me as a singer outside. Liu touched his face and shouted angrily, "Don't think I don't know, you are looking at the evil star to give you a head and make your spring and autumn dreams." It's good if the evil star doesn't kill you, how the died back then, don't you forget"

Zhang Laohan didn't expect that this mother-in-law who couldn't do anything would really dare to pout baldly, and she was about to talk about the old things, so she dared to let her shout, so she directly pulled her belt and tied people up, and put a shoe into her mouth. In this way, it is finally purified.

Originally, the Zhao family stayed because they had nowhere to go, and they wanted Zhang Erbao to make a better life, but they didn't want to make a meal, so they heard their mother-in-law say that. The mother-in-law didn't want to think about why she didn't have a child, and why she hurt her body, thinking of this, this honest and hard-working woman finally gave birth to a trace of resentment

But in the end, she still didn't rush into the house to ask for an explanation, but suppressed the grievances in her heart and went back to work on the stove. What can she do? The eldest sister has the same heart as her in-laws, and she can't speak for herself at all. And Zhang Erbao is unreliable, but even if she can't be trusted, she is her man. She knows that some people outside say that she is unproductive, but what can she do if she has talent and backbone? After all, after being married for so many years, how can you say that you can be reconciled and separated!

Just when Zhang Laohan was arguing every day, Zhang Manchu had already recovered from his injuries and began to go to the back mountains to reclaim wasteland. Thinking that he didn't have much to do on weekdays, and his shoulder didn't hurt anymore, Lin Baozhu also followed Aunt Tian and a few kind women to dig wild vegetables every day.

This season is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the general peasant men basically take advantage of the slack to do work, if they can stand the hardship, they will also find a piece of wasteland to reclaim it day and night. However, compared to going to work, there are not many people who reclaim wasteland, and almost all the places that can be reclaimed in the front mountain have been reclaimed. And further into the back mountain, ordinary croppers do not dare to go easily. Second, opening up wasteland is not a matter of talking, especially on the slopes of the mountains, where all the large and small stones are picked up from the ploughing, and water is carried up. And because the geology of Peachtree Bay is not fertile, it has to carry soil manure and fur manure to the central land. Therefore, even if it is hard to open a piece of land in Brazil, it is difficult to see a harvest in three or two years.

Compared with the men who think about the law to make money, the idle women will change the law to think about saving money, and this is not long before someone goes to dig wild vegetables in twos and threes.

At this moment, Lin Baozhu had just sent away Zhang Manchu, who had gone to open the ground, when he heard someone greet outside, "Baozhu, have you eaten it?" ”

Since she had a fight with Zhang Laohan and then had a heart-to-heart conversation, compared to others calling her a daughter-in-law, Aunt Tian has always called her by her name. This also made Lin Baozhu feel a lot closer to Aunt Tian in her heart.

"Hey, auntie, I just said I was going to your place, didn't I just fertilize the land in the yard yesterday, and I wanted to ask you for some rapeseed to plant." Lin Baozhu smiled and welcomed people into the courtyard and said.

Aunt Tian smiled and looked at the bedding and clothes on the clothesline in the yard, and felt more at ease with Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu. Sure enough, there is a woman in the family, so that you can have the appearance of a home, at least the courtyard and the house are popular.

"We have a lot of rapeseed in our family, and they are all kept at home. It just so happened that I asked you two days ago, and the village Lu Pozi's family had just hatched a litter of chicks and ducks, because the price of a village is authentic. Six hens and eight ducklings cost a total of 28 yuan, which is more expensive than buying eggs. Aunt Tian said with a smile, "It's time to catch the chickens and ducklings, and just take the cabbage seeds from the aunt." ”

"It's really not expensive, thank you for helping me speak." Not to mention anything else, as soon as he heard the price, Lin Baozhu had a score in his heart, but he was afraid that people didn't ask for a high price because they looked at Aunt Tian's face. You must know that in these years, an egg can be sold for a penny, and if the hen has few cubs, it will cost three pennies. She felt that the days were not saved, and she might spend less copper plates, so she was naturally happy in her heart.

Thinking that Aunt Tian had helped them a lot, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but thank them from the bottom of her heart. "Fortunately, with your help, otherwise I would not be able to do anything in the village with a black eye."

Hearing Lin Baozhu's sincere words, Aunt Tian was very satisfied, and of course she was also very useful. At the very least, this child is an informed person, and he is not in vain to work for her.

"Taking advantage of the good weather, I told a few girls in the village to dig wild vegetables, thinking that you should be fine, so I came to ask if you want to go." After finishing the business, Aunt Tian didn't follow her into the house, but just patted the basket on her arm and asked.

Potherb? Lin Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses, yes, she is now in the farmhouse. Isn't it the time to dig wild vegetables and eat them in the spring of the farm? Bracken, wild leeks, shepherd's cabbage and Qingming vegetables, regardless of whether they are made into cake balls or wild vegetable cakes, or fried dumplings with crispy, the taste is excellent.

Thinking that there are no fresh fruits and vegetables at home, since the last time I ate stew, there is only a cabbage and half a radish left, if you don't want to find some in the future, you have to make do with eating radish pickles for a while.

Thinking of no vegetables and no fruits, Lin Baozhu felt that life was difficult, but fortunately, he could still dig some wild vegetables now, not to mention that he could sell them for money, even if he was hungry and responded to emergencies. Immediately responded, naturally he was going to go.

"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll go get a basket and a hoe." Because Lin Baozhu is now picking up at home, she doesn't need to rummage around at all, she found the tools she has at hand.

The so-called hoe is actually a kind of weeding and seedling picking guy, because of its small size, everyone often uses it to dig wild vegetables.

After taking the things, Lin Baozhu found a piece of coarse cloth as a headscarf under the guidance of Aunt Tian, and was embarrassed by the branches of the tree pulling her hair. After picking up, the two went out together.

When they arrived at the fork of the front ravine, there were already a few aunts and daughters-in-law waiting, and when they saw Lin Baozhu also coming, although they looked a little uncomfortable, they didn't say anything unpleasant. In fact, after listening to the words of those elders in the village, most people's impression of Zhang Manchu has changed slightly, although they are still a little evasive, but it is not good to blatantly muttered that it is a shā rén criminal or a bandit.

Especially after Zhang Erbao's accident, everyone began to sympathize with Zhang Manchu, who had not caused much trouble in the village, because of their disgust for Zhang Laohan's family.

In fact, people always have a herd mentality, and everyone gossips together. So Aunt Zai Tian said to Aunt Ma that if she was full of hoarding, then the future life would be a villain, where would she let go of the land in the front mountain and go to the back mountain nest that everyone is afraid of? With that size and ferocity, who in the village can beat him, but can still squeeze him out?
