Chapter 206: You better take it off

After the big cow led the sunspot into the stable, he went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of water, washed his face, and then looked at the hemp skin on the ground, and he frowned.

"What are you doing with this?"

"I want to learn how to weave straw sandals from my sister-in-law."

"Just buy it." Da Niu didn't want her to be busy.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do, and idleness is idle."

When Da Niu heard her say this, he stopped saying anything that he didn't let her do, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and handed it to her.

Zhou Yiran stretched out her hand to take it, looking at the stack of silver tickets, she swallowed her saliva.

"That's six thousand taels?"

"Well, I went to Xie Mansion today to ask for it."

"How dare you ask for it?"

"What is there to dare to do, as long as I hold the IOU written by Xie Qi in my hand, I dare to ask for it. Besides, this money is not a small amount, and it is more practical to get it early. Zhang Daniu looked like he should be.

"Then when you went to ask for money, Xie Qi really honestly gave you the money? He didn't embarrass you? ”

"No, just ask the next person to send me the money, but..."

"But what?" Zhou Yiran stopped halfway through his words, frowned and asked.

Originally, he didn't want to say it, but now seeing Xiaoran like this, he felt that if he didn't say it, he would definitely ask to the end, so he decided to tell her.

"When I came back, I met more than a dozen gangsters, I guess it should have been arranged by Xie Qi, probably to snatch the silver ticket back, this is my guess, I don't know if it's him."

"It must be him, otherwise there would be such a coincidence." Zhou Yiran began to despise Xie Qi, this person can't afford to lose, be careful.

Zhang Daniu looked at her like this and smiled.

"Don't worry, those people don't need to be taken seriously at all, they are all some market gangsters who bully more and less, and they have no real skills."

"Anyway, be careful when you go out in the future."

Zhang Daniu nodded.

"I'm going to put the money on hold."

"Go ahead!" Zhang Daniu blinked dotingly.

She ran back to her room excitedly with a stack of silver tickets, and after leaving the money in the box, she began to struggle. I always feel that it is not safe to leave so much money at home.

Zhang Daniu was outside for a long time, and when he saw that she hadn't come out yet, he turned around and went in.

Seeing her staring at Qian Heizi, he frowned, and walked over to ask.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Yiran heard the voice, turned her head to look at Da Niu, and said to Da Niu.

"I always feel that it's not safe to put so much money there, why don't we dig a hole in the house and bury the box?"

Da Niu has a black line, thinking that she is really worried, I haven't seen her so nervous before for hundreds of taels, and now she is actually worried about safety and insecurity.

"If you're not at ease, put it under the dresser and push it to the innermost, who would have thought of it." Da Niu pointed to the dresser and said.

She turned and looked at the dresser.

It was indeed a little shorter than the cabinet, she took the box and went over to try it, it just fitted, and she didn't hesitate to stuff it in.

However, to ensure safety, she leaned on the ground and watched.

Seeing this, Zhang Daniu grabbed her collar with a black face and pulled her up.

"Do you want to fight like this?"

"More than 6,000 taels, not six taels, can I be more cautious, alas, I told you that you don't understand my feelings at this time."

With that, she turned and walked out of the room.

Although Da Niu pulled her up just now, she still saw it, and ordinary thieves would not find that there was something underneath.

When she left the room, she was sitting in the courtyard peeling linen, and the big cow came out to see her and said to her.

"You scrape the back of that little knife I gave you, much faster than you do." Zhang Daniu said and went over to show her with a dagger.

Zhou Yiran looked at him, took out a knife from his waist, learned from him, and found that it was really fast, so he scraped it directly with the back of the knife.

After a while, she scraped a handful, raised her head to see that the big cow was about to go out, and she asked.

"Where are you going?"

"Go see Ge Yi and them."

"Oh, then there you go!"

After the big cow left, she concentrated on peeling the flax and hanging the peeled hemp on the bamboo pole where the clothes were dried.

It was almost noon, when she finally finished the four bundles of linen, got up and moved her hands and feet, and walked over to dry the handful of peeled hemp she was holding in her hand.

After drying, look at your hands, brown. I smelled the smell, I thought it smelled good, not pungent, faint smell, and it smelled very comfortable.

Zhang Daniu came back, saw that she had finished it, and praised her.

"It's fast, it's amazing."

"It's not the method you taught, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish it this morning."

After Zhou Yiran finished speaking, she raised her head to look at the sky above her head, and then remembered to cook.

"I'm so busy that I forgot to cook."

"Just cook some porridge at noon." Da Niu said.

She nodded: "Okay, anyway, there is roast duck, and there is no need to cook." ”

Da Niu also thinks the same way, so he asked her to cook porridge.

******

In the afternoon, Da Niu went out with Quanzi, and her dried hemp dried, so she put away the dry hemp, hugged it and went to the next door.

"Sister-in-law, my hemp is dry, you can teach me how to weave straw sandals!"

Chen He smiled and nodded.

"I just got one, now you can just learn what I do." After Chen He finished speaking, he turned around and moved a chair next to him.

She walked over and sat down, and then asked, "Miaozi?" ”

"Sleep." Chen He smiled and said, "You do what I do." ”

She nodded, took a wisp of linen like her sister-in-law, and then watched how her sister-in-law made it, and she would do it when her sister-in-law did it.

First I made the soles, and then I tied them, and the straps.

……

"You're smart, you'll learn it." Chen He praised her.

It's not a deliberate compliment, but she's really smart, and she'll learn it once.

"It's not that your master teaches you well, sister-in-law, otherwise where would I have learned. But this one is soft to the touch, I'll try one for myself first, and then get two pairs for Da Niu, whose shoes rot quickly. ”

"Men are like that." Chen He said with a smile.

At dusk, she went home to cook.

She ran out of flax and made a pair of straw sandals of her own, and then made them as big as a cow could wear, but only enough to get one, and she decided to peel them again tomorrow.

The meal was ready, it was dark, and the big cow came back.

There wasn't much to harvest, just a few rabbits.

"Let's wash our hands and eat." She said to the big cow.

Da Niu turned to look at her, noticed that she was wearing straw sandals on her feet, and walked over to ask.

"You made this up yourself?"

"yes, I made it up myself, is it good?" She lifted her foot to show him.

Zhang Daniu nodded, frowned, and asked, "Why didn't you weave a pair for me?" ”

Looking at Da Niu like this, she couldn't help laughing.

"Yours has one, the hemp is not enough, I'll peel it tomorrow, and then you should be able to have a pair of straw sandals to wear tomorrow night."

"Where, show me." The big cow listened to his own and made one, and he especially wanted to see it.

"Well, it's hanging on the wall."

Zhang Daniu looked in the direction she was pointing, walked over and took off the straw sandals, and then tried directly.

The size was just right, Zhang Daniu smiled with satisfaction.

She laughed too, because the shoes she made were not big or small, just right for the big cow.

The big cow doesn't plan to take it off when he puts it on, he just wants to wear it like this.

She saw it and immediately said, "You better take it off!" You look weird dressed like that. ”

"It's not weird, it's good." After Da Niu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash his hands.

She said that she was speechless, how could there be such a person, one foot wearing new ones, and the other foot wearing worn out straw sandals, no matter how you look at it, she feels nondescript.

Follow him into the kitchen.

"Da Niu, you quickly change it down, you can't dress like this, others will definitely laugh at me when they see it."

"Don't worry, no one will laugh at you, and I won't wear it out, just wear it now, and I'll change it back tomorrow."

"That's up to you." She walked over to get the dishes and chopsticks to get ready to eat.

******

Chen's house.

Chen Menghui came back suddenly, which surprised Mrs. Chen, looking at her son in front of her, she asked curiously.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

"I'll be back when I'm done." After Chen Menghui finished speaking, he asked your mother, "Isn't my father in the house?" ”

When Mrs. Chen heard her son mention the master, the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Chen Menghui knew where his father had gone without asking.

"Mother..."

"Mother is fine, I'm used to it, as long as he doesn't bring back the mother and son." Mrs. Chen interrupted her son's words, and after finishing speaking, she told him, "Yu'er will go back to Xie Mansion for two days, and since you are back, you will go to Xie Mansion tomorrow to visit your father-in-law." ”

"What's wrong with Master Xie?" Chen Menghui asked.

If Master Xie didn't have anything, his mother wouldn't let him visit, so he guessed that something should have happened.

"Master Xie suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and now he is bedridden, and he has to be served every day." Mrs. Chen sighed after speaking, "He made Mrs. Xie clean up like this, and those ladies in the mansion saw that he was paralyzed, and they left with the silver." ”

"So serious?" Chen Menghui was surprised.

"Well, so you'll have to go and see it tomorrow, even if you don't like it anymore, you have to make a show, and you can't tell the truth."

"The child understands."

Looking at her sensible son, Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered something, and she asked to leave the house.

"You all go out."

"Yes, ma'am." The maids exited the room one after another.

Chen Menghui frowned when he saw her step down.

"Mother, what do you mean?"

"I have something to ask you for my mother."

Seeing that the mother was so mysterious, he asked, "I wonder what the mother wants to ask the child?" ”

"Zhangjiawan Zhang Daniu's wife is your aunt's child?"

Chen Menghui was surprised, curious about how his mother knew, so he asked:

"Mother, have you seen her?"

"Well, I accidentally bumped into it on the street, you tell my mother, isn't she?" Mrs. Chen looked at her son.

"Yes." Chen Menghui nodded.

Hearing her son say yes, a smile appeared on Mrs. Chen's face.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" He thought it was strange.

"The day before yesterday, your father told me that Zhou Yiran was dead, and the body had been found, and it was confirmed that it was Miss Zhou."

After hearing this, Chen Menghui looked at his mother again in surprise.
