Lan Yi was about to leave with the child, and the onlookers shouted, "Lizheng is here, get out of the way." ”

Then everyone squeezed to both sides, and the door of the Zhou family revealed the figure of Zhao Lizheng, followed by his second aunt Li. Li's face was sweating profusely, holding the second Niu Niu in his arms, holding the third Niu Niu with one hand, and Dafu was followed by him.

Zhao Lizheng saw the appearance of Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law and Lan Yi, and looked at everyone's expressions and guessed what happened, he was worried that Lan Yi would be bullied, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law was beaten.

"Lin Shan's daughter-in-law took care of Li Cunyu, and it was Li Zheng from Lijia Village who nodded and agreed with me, and she also filed a case in Yamen. Lin Shan's daughter-in-law not only took care of orphans, but also taught everyone to make pickled bamboo shoots and pickles, which is good for everyone. She is a little woman who works hard, gets up early and works late to support her family, and her eyes are red when she sees people making some hard-earned money, isn't it! ”

Zhou Lizheng turned around again, glared at Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law and said, "Liu, you make trouble in the village all day long, even if you are bullied by Jiqing, you don't learn well, Zhou Yang works hard in the city to earn money, and that's how you take care of his family?" When Zhou Yang comes back, I will ask him if he can take care of his daughter-in-law! If you can't manage it, please open the ancestral hall on Tuesday, let the ancestors evaluate it, and see if you are qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family! ”

Zhao Lizheng is the number one in the village, and his words represent the village's support for Lan Yi, and everyone can understand it. Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law was even more frightened and shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak, opening an ancestral hall is a big deal, if she is retired at such an age, she can only jump into the river.

Lan Yi looked respectful, and thought in her heart that no matter what time and space, the "police" only appeared after the crisis was resolved, and then presided over the overall situation with a righteous face.

Second Aunt Wang also gasped at this time, standing in front of Lan Yi and the child, and looked at Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law angrily: "Daughter-in-law Lin Shan is my royal daughter-in-law, filial piety to the elderly, and kindness to children. Yu'er is my grandson, and he is also an obedient and sensible good child. Don't look at my Wang family, you just think about bullying people, and if anyone dares to make trouble, my wife will fight for a breath if she gives up this life. ”

Lan Yi saw that something was wrong, she thanked Li Zheng, and took the child home with her second aunt. Everyone looked at Lan Yi at this time, their eyes were very different from before, Sister-in-law Niu's eyes lit up, the eighth sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were honored, and Zhao Zhongxuan was in a daze.

After this incident, Lan Yi was labeled with a striking label: "fierce and spicy", and no one despised her because of her petite appearance.

Lan Yi and the second aunt took the children home separately. She went back to her home and made a simple lunch for the two children, the baby went to bed early, and Lan Yi boiled hot water and took Yu'er to the greenhouse to bathe and change his clothes, and then wrapped him in a small quilt and took him back to the house.

"Yu'er, it's okay, go to sleep." Lan Yi was afraid that he would get sick after this toss, so she touched his little face, but fortunately there was no fever.

Yu'er raised her little face, looked at her mother with big moist eyes, and said, "My mother is so powerful." ”

Lan Yi moved her wrist that was a little overforced, and asked with a smile: "Is Yu'er afraid of her mother?" ”

"Don't be afraid, my mother will help Yu'er fight the bad guys."

"Well, Yu'er is also very powerful, and then she didn't cry and helped her mother take her younger brother, so that her mother could free up her hand to vent Yu'er's anger." It's not easy for a five-year-old to do that.

"Yu'er won't cry in the future, Yu'er is older." Yu'er thought of her previous crying appearance, and buried her head in the quilt shyly.

"Well, Yu'er is older. If Yu'er has anything that she can't figure out in the future, tell her mother, let her help you think about it, don't think about it yourself, okay? "This child is no better than a baby, he has suffered too much since he was a child, and it is easy to get into the horns of the bull when he encounters things, and retreat himself to that humble corner.

"Good. Mother, Yu'er has a mother, it's good. Yu'er showed a big smile, and since then, when someone scolded him for being a mourning star, Yu'er remembered the figure of his mother in front of him and his younger brother, which aroused his courage. Many years later, when many memories of childhood faded and the colors slowly blurred, only the vivid colors of this incident were imprinted in my mind, and every word was so clear.

After Yu'er also fell asleep, Lan Yi looked at her reddened palm. It is said that the force is mutual, and she beats people like this, Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law should become a pig's head now, right?

Thinking of her swollen black face, Lan Yi's mind turned out to be her own two black pigs with a wrinkled face that were getting fatter and fatter, and she couldn't help laughing.

She is a light-hearted person, she only reads her own books with peace of mind, she doesn't care about the people and things around her, and she has never quarreled with others, let alone beat people. In fact, she was scared today, but she couldn't back down. There must be people in this village who think like this fat woman, and prevention is the solution to the crisis. Compared with this incident, those who want to take advantage and chew their tongues have to weigh whether they have enough weight.

After the people who went to the city to practice the stall came back in the afternoon and heard about it, Chen put his arms around Dafu in tears and asked him carefully where it hurt, Niu Wentian and Lin Xilin Yuan both shouted that they would go to the county seat the next day to find Zhou Yang Ping and let him come back and discipline his wife and children.

Liu and Chen went to Lan Yi's house after noon, and the three of them cleaned the hawthorn string sugar gourd in the greenhouse, and after talking about it, Liu mentioned one thing: "Sister-in-law, this week, the Liu family of the Yang family likes to give people a matchmaker, she plucked the red line for Widow Zheng and Brother Tuesday last year, Brother Tuesday disagreed, and Liu's sister who married to Lijia Village was knocked out with a broom to the door. Because of this, Zhou Yang's family held a grudge against Brother Zhou and his sister, and they spoke ill of them openly and secretly. ”

"Brother Tuesday's eldest sister married into Lijia Village?" Lan Yi asked.

Liu nodded: "His eldest sister's name is Zhou Yue, I've seen it twice, and it's hard to mess with at first glance." ”

Lan Yi nodded, and Chen opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask anything more when he thought of Lan Yi's heavy oath in front of people.

At this time, Wang Linyuan's shout came from the courtyard: "Sister-in-law? ”

Lan Yi responded, Wang Linyuan quickly entered the greenhouse, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, we have a dim sum shop at home, thinking of buying a recipe for fried chestnuts and sugar gourds, and my father and eldest brother are at home with me, what do you think?" ”

"Shopkeeper Wang? How did he find his home? ”

Wang Linyuan also frowned: "We don't know, I guess I came back with me." ”

"I'll go with you to see, second brother and sister, third brother and sister, this will trouble you. Yu'er, take care of your brother and don't let him burn. Lan Yi put on her hat, put on a cotton cloak and walked out of the greenhouse with Wang Linyuan.

"Sister-in-law, I think this person is strange, we have long said that the sugar fried chestnuts are ancestral, and the recipe is not sold, this sugar gourd is known to people with a clear eye at a glance, why did you say he still came to the door?" Wang Linyuan asked softly as he followed Lan Yi's side.

When Lan Yi heard the surname Wang, she instinctively felt that this person had something to do with the baby's family: "Do you hear his accent from our local?" ”

"He has a foreign accent, and he can't tell where he's from."

Lan Yi and Wang Lin went to the hall of the second uncle's house and saw a thin and tall man in his fifties sitting on an armchair and chatting with the second uncle Wang. When he saw Lan Yi coming in, he only glanced at him, and his expression did not fluctuate.

Lan Yi couldn't say whether she was disappointed or happy, it seemed that she was thinking too much, this shopkeeper Wang didn't come for herself at first glance, otherwise he shouldn't be like this when he saw him.

"Everyone, come and sit." Second Uncle Wang beckoned, "This shopkeeper Wang wants to buy the red fruits you picked up." ”

"Oh? Didn't the shopkeeper come to buy his son? Lan Yi sat on the armchair next to Second Uncle Wang and asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Lan Yi and did not speak, obviously looking down on women. Wang Linxi explained: "We told him that the recipe for frying chestnuts would not be sold, and he said that he wanted to buy red fruits. ”

"I wonder how many red fruits you still have?" The shopkeeper asked again.

Second Uncle Wang and the three of them looked at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, thinking that his accent was really a bit like that of Meixian: "What does Shopkeeper Wang do when he buys red fruits?" ”

"There are people who buy and sell below, so naturally they buy and sell."

Lan Yi smiled: "As far as the little woman knows, although we people here don't like to eat red fruits, there are also red fruits in the county store, how could the shopkeeper Wang come all the way to our village to buy red fruits?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang frowned, but still didn't say anything.

"If the shopkeeper doesn't say it, the little woman can guess a thing or two. The red fruits harvested by the shops in this city are all cut and dried, so they must not meet your requirements, right? Lan Yi looked at his attitude, and looked at the corners of his eyes, and immediately disliked it, and his words became sharp, "What Shopkeeper Wang wants is fresh red fruits that can be made into sugar gourds, yes or no?" ”

As soon as the three of Uncle Wang understood it, they looked at the shopkeeper Wang suddenly. The shopkeeper saw that Lan Yi had already figured it out, so he no longer hid it: "What the little lady said is right. ”

Wang Linyuan frowned when he heard this: "The shopkeeper Wang has a good calculation, our sugar gourd with red fruit strings is the time to sell well, didn't you buy red fruits to cut us off our money?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang turned a pair of small eyes, revealing a somewhat condescending look: "How much silver can you earn back if you sell all the sugar gourds?" ”

Lan Yi replied: "If it is all sold, how can it be forty-five taels." ”

The shopkeeper pinched his short beard and said confidently: "I'll give you forty-five taels, it's all done." ”

Second Uncle Wang and the three of them were stunned, is there a problem with this Wang shopkeeper's brain?

Lan Yi shook his head: "Fifty-five taels." ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he frowned, and felt that this little daughter-in-law was a bad person, so he thought about sitting on the ground and starting the price: "Little lady, we don't have any bright red fruits here, but there are a lot of them going south thousands of miles to Kyoto, and forty-five taels is already the highest price that can be given." ”

Thousands of miles to the south, isn't it the Meixian area? Lan Yi's heart jumped, and she continued to ask without changing her face: "Oh, is it possible that the shopkeeper wants to go south thousands of miles to buy red fruits and sell them back?" "Now it's freezing cold, and this back and forth has passed the New Year, and I have missed the best time to sell.

"I don't have time to argue with you here, forty-five taels, do you sell or not?" The shopkeeper Wang was angry in his heart, if it wasn't for the urgency of the owner this year, why would he come to this farmer's house to be angry.

Seeing him like this, Lan Yi stopped tempting and said directly: "Fifty-five taels." Not only the red fruits at home, but also the recipe with this sugar gourd was also sold to the king's shopkeeper. ”

Shopkeeper Wang's brows furrowed even tighter, he already knew this recipe, why spend ten taels more!

Lan Yi said smugly: "The sugar gourd is too sweet if it is too sweet, and it is difficult to get rid of the sourness and astringency if it is less wet, and the heat of this sugar must also be mastered." In addition, when making sugar gourds, you can also add other things to add different flavors, which is the exclusive secret recipe of the little woman, and others can't think of it. ”

Lan Yi is deliberately like this, no matter whether this person is from the Meixian Wang family or not, she looks like a village woman who is greedy for money and short-sighted, which is very different from the appearance of the baby's mother who is so beautiful that she does not eat fireworks in the world, and it is also very different from the smart and clever and good at observing words and emotions that little maids such as Chun Tao should have.

Although Shopkeeper Wang was a little interested in what Lan Yi said, he didn't look down on her childishness: "That's it, I don't want to run for nothing, fifty taels, Fangzi and Hongguo will be bought together." ”

"Well, fifty or two cents, I can buy a few clothes for the two children in the family, and those two mud monkeys have not wasted their clothes on the trees and down the river. Second uncle, do you think fifty taels can be done? "Yirou only has Wenxuan's son who is not big, and he can't do it up the tree or down the river, so it's a big difference.

Second Uncle Wang looked at Lan Yi in a daze, and nodded subconsciously, he didn't know which one Lan Yi was singing today.

Lan Yi and Wang Lin went into the back room to write a recipe, and Wang Linxi went to Lan Yi's house to pick up the red fruits, and after sending away the Wang shopkeeper, Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the shopkeeper didn't seem to have any problems, Lan Yi still trusted her instincts.

"Lin Yuan, do you think his accent doesn't look like he's from Meixian?"

Wang Linyuan shook his head: "This accent is much worse than that of sister-in-law." ”

Lan Yi smiled bitterly, her accent was not 108,000 miles different from Meixian's accent.

Wang Linxi remembered one thing at this time: "Sister-in-law, not long before you came back in April this year, two scholars came to find the eldest brother. The king's shopkeeper's accent is somewhat similar to theirs. ”R1152
