Chuncao sent her sister-in-law to the gate of the yard, and then went to sit under the willow tree by the river and wait for Lu Ziqi.

When Lu Ziqi came back, it was almost dark, and he saw Chuncao lying on a chair under the willow tree dozing off, reaching out to carry Chuncao into the house, Chuncao woke up at this time, saw Lu Ziqi in front of him, rubbed his eyes and said, "You're back." ”

Seeing Chuncao wake up, Lu Ziqi picked up Chuncao and walked into the house, "How to sleep outside, the weather is getting cold, be careful to blow a cold." ”

"When you get back, you fall asleep." Chuncao followed Lu Ziqi into the house.

Entering the house, Lu Ziqi lit the oil lamp, took the medicine and prepared to go to the kitchen, "I'll go to decoction and cook, you rest in the house, and I'll call you after a while." ”

"I'll help you make a fire." Chuncao thought that she was bored in the house alone, so she followed Lu Ziqi out of the kitchen.

Lu Ziqi went to the back to find a small stove and a medicine jar, burned the firewood on the small stove, and decocted the medicine on it. Chuncao helped build the stove fire, and Lu Ziqi began to be busy cooking.

Chuncao thought that her sister-in-law came to ask about the workshop in the afternoon, so she asked Lu Ziqi, "Nerd, didn't you say last time that there were more than a hundred taels of silver at home?" ”

"Well, here you go in a moment."

"I want to use it as capital and open a braised meat workshop as soon as possible, what do you think?" Chuncao discussed with Lu Ziqi.

"Let's do a little bit first and try it at the restaurant in the town and see how it goes." Lu Ziqi spoke.

Chuncao thought, this is more safe, if the sales are good, there is no need to worry about the workshop opening and not being able to sell, so he nodded and told Lu Ziqi about going back to his parents' house tomorrow to see his mother.

Lu Ziqi thought of discussing with Zhu Zi and getting rid of Hu Guihua, but it was also delayed, and he had to deal with this matter as soon as possible. lest it be put at home like a bomb, and Chuncao is not at ease.

After dinner, when he was about to go to bed, Lu Ziqi took out a small box from the hole in the wall behind the cabinet and handed it to Chuncao, "This is all the savings, you can take it." “

Chuncao just untied his coat and was about to go to bed, when he saw the box handed over by Lu Ziqi, he excitedly took it and hugged it in his hand, sat down on the bed, and then opened it on his knees.

Lu Ziqi grabbed Chuncao's hand in time, "What are you doing, dirty." "I sighed again, my daughter-in-law is really a money fan.

Chuncao put it down with a smile, and began to count the silver ingots in the small box, thirteen silver ingots of ten taels, and almost six taels of scattered silver, a total of one hundred and thirty-six taels, plus his own dowry fifteen taels, a total of one hundred and fifty-one taels, Chuncao took out his fourteen taels and put them in, left one tael for himself, and handed the box to Lu Ziqi, "It's better to take it there, I don't need it for the time being, and I'll take it out when I'm ready to open a workshop." “

Lu Ziqi nodded and closed the box and put it in its original place.

Chuncao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in such a poor family, who would have thought that there were more than 100 taels of silver hidden in the house, and there was not even a lock on the box.

After breakfast the next day, the two went back to their parents' house together, Chuncao Niang hadn't seen Chuncao for a long time, and was pulled into the room to talk as soon as she arrived at the door of the yard, "I heard that the pillar daughter-in-law came back yesterday and said, you are not feeling well, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the menstrual affairs are a little out of tune, and the nerd also caught the medicine yesterday, and the conditioning will be fine." Chuncao explained, "Mother, are you feeling well? ”

"Mother is very good, but I miss you a little, you asked me to look at the osmanthus flowers, and I didn't go to see you." Chuncao Niang suddenly leaned into Chuncao's ear and said, "But during this time, I really found that there was a bit of a problem, I often found that she secretly vomited, and her clothes were also fat, I wonder if she has a wild seed in her stomach, and she sees that our pillar is honest, so I try my best to rely on our pillar." ”

Chuncao was very surprised, this widow was really bold, in such a patriarchal era, she was a widow who dared to make her belly bigger. But this can also figure out why this Hu Guihua tried every means to come to her mother's house, and the nerd was pulled away by her brother as soon as she came, it is estimated that her brother was in a hurry to get the widow away, maybe telling the nerd this news will help their plan, Chuncao found an opportunity to tell Lu Ziqi about it.

At lunch, the widow Hu Guihua came out, and sure enough, her clothes were larger than before, covering her stomach, but her figure had not changed much, it seemed that her heart was weak, and her face seemed to be much haggard than when she first saw it. Seeing Chuncao greeting Lu Ziqi and her affectionate sister and brother-in-law, the two of them didn't pay attention to her, so she finished eating and entered the house by herself. Chuncao thought, this Hu Guihua is probably in a hurry, if she can't seduce her brother, the child won't be able to rely on her brother, seeing that her belly is getting bigger day by day, can you not be in a hurry.

After Chuncao and the two finished lunch, Lu Ziqi remembered that Chuncao was still drinking traditional Chinese medicine, and probably told his brother and sister-in-law's plan for the workshop, so he took Chuncao home together.

Chuncao's menstrual affair was almost over, so he clamored to go to the town to buy materials and try to make braised pork, but Lu Ziqi did not agree, saying that he was still drinking traditional Chinese medicine, and he would go again after a while.

Lu Ziqi has been going out early and returning late every day, and Chuncao can only stay at home with nothing to do, tidy up housework, and read books.

When Lu Ziqi came back in the afternoon, he made dinner early, urging Chuncao to finish eating, and before it was completely dark, he took a freshly made torch and pulled Chuncao out of the door.

Chuncao was curious, "It's getting dark, where are you pulling me to?" “

"Go see the excitement, you'll know when you arrive." Lu Ziqi said mysteriously, and the two of them took advantage of the darkness to walk in the direction of the village.

When I walked to the edge of the village, the sky was getting dark, there was a voice in front, slowly approaching, several people were holding torches, Chuncao saw the noisy crowd in front of me, my brother and my mother were inside, two people were tied in front, disheveled, gagged, and pushed Sangsang forward by my brother, and the crowd was talking about it, and I didn't hear what to say. When I walked to the door of a certain villager's house, the villager asked what was going on, and a woman who followed behind replied with a smile, "Didn't the pillar accept the widow of the Iron Hammer family some time ago, and never thought that she would be caught and raped in half a month, so don't you arrest the village chief and let the village chief deal with it." As a result, there were more and more people, and the team grew bigger and bigger, and they went to the village chief's house.

"Who's that man?" Chuncao didn't know the man, but this long face was obscene and sallow, and it wasn't a good thing at first glance.

"Li San." Lu Ziqi replied, holding the spring grass with one hand, and continued to walk behind the crowd without fast or slow.

"How did you get these two together and catch the adulterer?" Although the two of them were estimated to have a leg before, but in the current situation, it is impossible for Li San to get involved with this widow at this time, his brothers are not vegetarians, so it is estimated that something will happen to him every day.

"In the name of my sister-in-law, I brought a message to Li San, this Hu Osmanthus, just deceive them and go over, and then add some materials to them, and it's done." Chuncao listened to what Lu Ziqi said simply, it should not be easy to go out early and return late for several days.

Soon the crowd arrived at the village chief's house, and when they arrived in the courtyard, the pillar followed his good brother Fugui, and pressed Li San and Hu Guihua to kneel in the courtyard, both of them gambled with cloth, and could only stare at the mouth and make a "woo woo" sound.

"What's going on?" The village chief looked at a group of people in the courtyard and the two people kneeling on the ground, probably understanding that it was a female arrest, but he still had to ask the reason first.

"Village chief, this Hu Guihua, while I was drunk, ran to my house and took off my clothes, insisting that I was insulting her, and she didn't leave my house, and now she is still cheating with someone and was bumped into by me, no matter what, I don't want this woman, village chief, you have to be my master." The pillar's honest voice instantly won the trust of the villagers.

Chuncao Niang added a sentence after the pillar was finished, "Village chief, this widow is unaffordable to my family, it seems that she is the third young master of the Li family, don't think about entering our house again, and the person will be handed over to you to dispose of." “

"It turned out that this Hu Guihua was from someone's house, so I said that this pillar is honest, and there is a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, how could he hook up with this little."

"It's really shameless, I don't forget to go out and hook up with men at other people's homes."

"This kind of broken shoes that don't abide by women's morals should be soaked in the pig cage."

Everyone in the village knows that this Hu Guihua loves to hook up with men, how many women in the village don't hate her, who knows if they have hooked up with their own men, and now that they have been arrested, they are gloating.

Hearing the discussion, Hu Guihua's eyes were red in a hurry, and her mouth made a whining sound.

The village chief felt that he should listen to what the two parties had to say, so he asked people to take the cloth from their mouths.

As soon as the two of them could speak, Li San's first sentence was gloomy and said to Hu Guihua, "You dare to calculate me." “

Hu Guihua looked at Li San's gloomy eyes, cried miserably and pleaded with the village chief, "Village chief, you have to call the shots for me, it was the pillar who was drunk and insulted me, and then he was afraid that I would tell me about his daughter-in-law's affair with Li San, so he deliberately calculated me, drugged me and Li San and then caught the adulterer." "

The villagers began to talk again, Li San actually had an affair with Zhuzi's daughter-in-law?

"Shut up, when will I have an affair with the daughter-in-law of the pillar." Li San didn't want to make more trouble, his mother found out from his father, if there was another trouble, his old lady would really pass on the family business to the boss. At this time, you can't come up with any tricks for people to grab, and then go to the old lady to put on little shoes for him.

"You obviously told me that you slept with the pillar daughter-in-law, but unfortunately the spring grass girl didn't sleep." Hu Guihua opened her mouth with some excitement.
