When she got home, Xiangling thought about the conversation between the Chu family and the big house and the third room, and listened to the meaning, the Lin family agreed to change parents, but she was unwilling to exchange the good Chu Xiangwei and Chu Xiangqing, and wanted to make a move to "steal the beam and change the pillar", marry herself to the poor boy of the Lin family, and exchange Chu Chun for a healthy daughter-in-law.

It's disgusting.

Afraid that Jiang's worries, Xiangling didn't tell Jiang's about this, kill and chop fish like no one else, make meat balls, cook them with water and let them cool, and tomorrow just use the deep fryer to put a little water and put some cabbage.

At night, under Xiangling's repeated insistence, she slept on two "beds" made of boxes improvised together, and Chu Xia, Jiang's family, and Xiao Xianglian Niang were squeezed on the not very spacious kang.

After all, Chu Xia is a seventeen-year-old young man, and he feels embarrassed to sleep on a kang with his mother, and he has two baskets separated from Jiang's middle.

In the middle of the night, only to hear the sound of "dong", Xiangling held her waist in pain, and climbed back into the box in the dark, fortunately the box was not high, otherwise it was really possible to fall out of a good situation.

Xiangling rubbed her sore elbow and buttocks, and couldn't help sighing, in addition to the problem of food and clothing at home, the next big problem is the housing problem.

.......

Early the next morning, Xiangling carried a bucket and prepared to go to the well at the east end of the village to fetch water, pushed open the door, and found that at the gate of the courtyard, there were two bundles of firewood standing on the left, and two buckets full of water on the right.

Xiangling's eyes narrowed at the other party's big tree, picked up the slingshot, and hit a stone at the trunk of the opposite tree.

In the first bid, there was a "pop" sound, and Li Shishi and Liu Xiwang twisted out from behind the tree like two big girls.

Li Shishi sneered: "I heard that Brother Xia'er's leg is reconnected, is it better?" ”

Xiangling rolled her eyes and said, "My brother is in the house, won't he see it?" ”

Li Shishi was suddenly dumbfounded.

Liu Xiwang opened his mouth to say something, squeaked, and when he saw Xiangling impatiently turning his face, he finally mustered up the courage to say: "I know that when my mother trained me, Brother Xia heard it, my mother said nonsense, let him not go to his heart, don't ignore me......."

Xiangling hugged her shoulders, leaned on the door frame leisurely, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is your mother talking nonsense?" How do I think it's all the truth, my mother is indeed a widow, my brother is indeed lame, I am indeed a fool, our family does have a good time, and your relationship with us will indeed drag you down......."

"This ........" Liu Xiwang's face turned red, and he also said the reason for a long time.

The last time he saw a small basket with eggs at the door, Liu Xiwang guessed that Chu Xia had gone to his house, and he must have heard his mother say bad things about the Chu family, so he refused to see him, and he himself felt ashamed, and since then, the two have never met.

It wasn't until I heard that Chu Xia broke his leg and reconnected it, so he came cheekily and wanted to help the Chu family share some housework.

Looking at the anxious faces of the two teenagers, Xiangling sighed and said: "Brother Xiwang, the more you go against your mother, the more your mother will have opinions about my family, and the more my brother will dare not deal with you, you better go back." ”

Liu Xiwang didn't want to mention how uncomfortable he was, he and Chu Xia had been friends since childhood, but he didn't expect that as Chu Xia's leg became lame, especially after the second room went out, his mother became more and more disgusted with Chu Xia, and asked him to learn to hunt more with Erliangzi in the future, and he was not allowed to work for the Chu family in vain.

Just as she was about to explain something to Xiangling, Xiangling had already nodded in the direction of the front.

Looking in the direction that Xiangling was looking, Liu Xiwang's mother, Liu, was running like a gust of wind, scolding as she ran: "Liu Xiwang! Why don't you have a long memory if I let you stay away from Chu Xia? Isn't it fishy to eat a hundred beans? Still helping people fetch water? Is our water tank full? Did you get back the bow and arrow that Erliangzi asked someone to build for you? ”

Liu Xiwang's face was flushed, like blood.

Liu Xiwang lifted the two buckets of water and said stubbornly to Xiangling: "Get out of the way, I'll carry these two buckets of water in and leave." ”

Xiangling didn't give way, blocked the door tightly, sighed and said, "You better go." ”

Liu Xiwang came to twist his strength, standing at the door with two buckets of water and refusing to leave, so he was deadlocked.

As soon as Liu saw the anger rising up, he took three steps and two steps to his son's side, stretched out his hand and tore down two buckets, and the water flowed all over the ground.

Liu Xiwang's face turned blue with anger, and he threw down the empty bucket and ran away.

Liu snorted heavily at Xiangling, and walked away with an empty bucket in one hand.

Xiangling was in a good mood, but she couldn't be worse by Liu's destruction, and glared at Li Shishi fiercely.

Li Shishi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My father and mother didn't say anything bad about your family, and they didn't let me not contact Brother Xia, it was I who was confused some time ago and blamed Brother Xia, so you can't help but ........accept this firewood."

Li Shishi and Chu Xia's heart knot turned out to be because of Xiao Cui, after Xiao Cui got married, this heart knot was untied, but it was not reconciled on the face.

Chu Xia reconnected his legs, and he would have to lie on the kang for more than three months, and the seventeen-year-old young man, it always felt awkward to let the Jiang family serve him to go to the thatched house and wipe his body, and this fat stone was the best choice for nursing.

Xiangling deliberately said to Li Shishi with a calm face: "My brother doesn't forgive you, you have to rely on your own ability." As for this Chai He, I advise you, don't be like Brother Xiwang, come to help my family work before the work is done, which makes your mother angry, and our family can't afford this kind of crime. ”

Li Shishi said with a happy face: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back after finishing my work." ”

Li Shishi snatched the bucket in Xiangling's hand and prepared to help Xiangling fetch water.

Xiangling pulled back the bucket, shook her head and said, "It's morning, my brother definitely wants to go to the toilet, you go and help......."

"........" Li Shishi looked confused, he thought about helping the Chu family fetch firewood and carry water, but he didn't think about taking care of Chu Xia's thatched house, this kind of work........

"What? Inconvenience? Xiangling raised an eyebrow.

"Convenient, convenient, very convenient." Shi nodded busily, this was the only opportunity for him to completely get rid of the knot with Chu Xia, and he must not miss it.

Shi picked up Chai He and walked to the courtyard, just two steps, Xiangling suddenly stopped Li Shi again, looked left and right to see no one, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother Shi, can you get Croton?" ”

"Huh?" Li Shishi's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, and he didn't know why Xiangling suddenly asked about Croton.

After only being stunned for a moment, Li Shishi immediately realized that he was still a "guilty body" now, and he couldn't question Xiangling, so he nodded busily and said: "There are seven or eight cows in Chu Village, and the cows can't pull a few days ago, Chu Zhou asked me to help him buy a lot of crotons, there should be leftovers, I will help Brother Xia go to the toilet, and I will go and ask for a few for you." ”

The corners of Xiangling's mouth couldn't help but rise, and she raised her eyebrows twice and said, "Don't say that I want it." ”

Li Shishi nodded instinctively, looking at Xiangling's expression, he felt a pestle in his heart, feeling that this girl must be holding something bad in her heart.
