Chapter 36: A Tooth for a Tooth
After some struggle, Bai shook his head and sighed, "Okay, I said!" ”
Seeing that the Bai family finally relented, the Zhang family, the Li family and the others looked at each other and hooked the corners of their mouths.
The villagers also showed joy and couldn't wait.
Just as Bai opened his mouth and was about to say how to eat yams, a beautiful and elegant voice slowly sounded from the back of the crowd.
"Mother, let me talk about it!"
The light tone, very calm, seems to have a hint of a smile in it, as if a flowing spring has passed through a stone, delicate and cold, which is heartstrings.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see that Lu Jiangli had arrived at the entrance of the village at some point.
Lu Jiangli walked over, slender and thin, eyebrows like a crescent moon, his eyes were contemplative, his little face was beautiful and refined, his facial features were delicate and delicate, especially those black eyes, like crystals soaked in water, clear and bright, looking forward to shining!
Wearing a washed white coarse cloth plain skirt, wrapped in a slender waist that is not as good as Yingying's hand, it is elegant and moving, and the beauty makes people can't take their eyes off it......
When Lu Jiangli appeared, everyone's breath was stagnant.
Everyone in the village knew that Sister Li's son was handsome and good-looking, but they didn't know that she was so good-looking!
Because, in the past, when Sister Li'er saw everyone with their heads down and timid, she never dared to look at everyone so generously.
Lu Jiangli looked around, and wanted to tell everyone like this, but she suddenly saw the cells and wounds on Xiaobao's forehead, and the smile in her eyes suddenly disappeared: "Who injured my son?!" ”
Just now, the villagers' attention was focused on the 'tree roots', and no one noticed that Xiaobao's forehead was still bleeding.
Lu Jiangli shouted, and the villagers noticed that Xiaobao was injured.
Zhang was afraid that Lu Jiangli would change the topic, so he hurriedly stabbed Wang with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Ouch, Sister Li, it's all your third aunt's fault for not taking it lightly, so she pushed it gently, and Xiaobao fell down!" You see, Xiaobao didn't get hurt much, but your rhubarb bit the third aunt! Or is this matter settled? Let's move on to the roots? ”
Wang's mouth is stupid, and he will only shout when he encounters things, but his heart is not as much as Zhang's.
was pulled by Zhang's point, and Wang also said fiercely: "That's it!" Your dog bit me, and I haven't bothered you yet, what do you want? ”
"Huh! If the third aunt doesn't mess with Xiaobao, will Rhubarb bite you? Why didn't it bite someone? What's the matter, the third aunt bullied the dog and couldn't speak? ”
Xiaobao was injured, Lu Jiangli's attitude became tougher at once, and he stared at Wang coldly and said: "Grandma, if the third aunt doesn't apologize to Xiaobao today, even if you kill me, I won't tell the secret of the roots!" ”
"Apologies?!"
Wang pointed at himself in disbelief: "I apologize to him?" Mother, look at your brains! The old lady is his elder! Where is there a reason for elders to apologize to juniors! ”
Lu Jiangli didn't understand the thoughts of these ancients, and sneered: "You did something wrong, don't say that you are an elder, even if you are the king of heaven, you must apologize!" See for yourselves! ”
Li frowned, the meaning of Sister Li's words was already obvious, the third daughter-in-law did not apologize, but she was afraid that even if they came with an iron rod, they would not be able to pry her mouth open!
So, she glanced at Wang fiercely: "Third daughter-in-law, it's your fault for this, hurry up and apologize to Xiaobao!" ”
Wang gritted his teeth, and he was unconvinced!
She is an elder, and she was forced to apologize to a wild seed?
It's a shame in her life!
At this time, the interests of the villagers are tied to them, and they all point out that the Wang family is vicious, and they refuse to let go of even a child!
If Wang does not apologize, the interests of the villagers will also be harmed!
When the time comes, it will not be Lu Jiangli who will offend the villagers, but ...... Wang's!
Wang's fist creaked, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Xiaobao, I'm sorry!" Now I apologize, but my leg hurts! Shouldn't you apologize to your mother? ”
"We apologize to you? Hehe......" Lu Jiangli raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Tell me, let's talk about it, if a thief breaks into your house and is bitten by your dog, will you apologize to the thief?" ”
The villagers looked at each other, although Sister Li'er compared the third daughter-in-law to a thief a bit too much, but this is the reason!
As soon as he heard the word 'thief', Wang's eyes were about to bulge out, and he roared like thunder: "Little slut, who are you scolding as a thief!" ”
Lu Jiangli raised his eyelids and sneered domineeringly: "The roots of the tree dug up by my mother, you robbed it, you are not a thief, what is it!" ”
The Wang family was mad, and he rushed forward and wanted to teach Lu Jiangli a hard lesson.
Li and Zhang hurriedly stopped her, and Li said angrily: "Okay! Don't ramble! Sister Li, if you don't want to tell everyone what the roots do, you can just say it! You don't have to beat around the bush like that! ”
However, Lu Jiangwan smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, since the third aunt has apologized, I am not some untrustworthy person!" ”
Hearing the words 'words without faith', Li's face sank again.
Lu Jiangli raised his eyes and swept towards everyone: "All uncles and aunts should also know that during this time, my grandmother and aunts have hidden all the food, and they don't leave us a mouthful of leftovers!" We were so hungry that we braved the cold wind and snow to dig tree roots in the mountains to feed our stomachs! ”
"Maybe God took pity on us and let us dig up this kind of root! This root is a medicine that can be sold at a pharmacy for money! You can eat it too! I'll tell my second aunt how to eat! ”
As he spoke, Lu Jiangli leaned over and muttered two sentences in Zhang's ear, but he only had a mouth shape, no sound!
"Second aunt, I've already told you how to eat the roots! Then you can talk to your uncles and aunts slowly! Let's go back to the house first! ”
After speaking, she didn't care how ugly the faces of the Zhang family and the others were, and took Xiaobao and Bai to the house.
At this moment, Zhang's eyes were anxious, and he shouted anxiously: "Stop! What are you talking about! I didn't hear you clearly! ”
She stretched out her hand to drag Lu Jiangli, but was surrounded by the villagers, and asked urgently: "Second daughter-in-law, what did Sister Li'er tell you!" ”
"That's it! How do you eat this trunk? You mean! ”
"Didn't you just say that if you can, you can help everyone? Why did you change your face so quickly? ”
Zhang's suffered a dumb loss, and he couldn't speak: "Ouch, hey! I really didn't hear clearly! Otherwise, I'll ask again, and make sure to tell everyone when I ask clearly! ”
It was not easy for Zhang to squeeze out of the cracks of the villagers, and when he got into the courtyard, he didn't dare to come out again.
Seeing this, Li, Wang and others also hid in the courtyard and locked the door.
If it weren't for the purpose of forcing the roots to work, they wouldn't want the villagers to know about the existence of the roots!
The more people know, the fewer roots they have to dig up!
So, even if they knew how to eat the roots, they would never tell them.
Outside the fence, the villagers cursed and said, "Phew! What the hell! keeps saying that they want to help each other and get rich together, but they will change their hexagrams! ”
"Let's go, didn't Sister Li'er say that she could get the pharmacy to sell it for money? Let's dig up the roots and sell them for money! ”
