Chapter 66: An Explanation!
The second room of the Chu family is known to be bad in the village, but Chu Xing, who is more than ten years old, is mostly silent in front of people, and it is hard to imagine that she is so ruthless.
In other words, it is impossible for any ordinary person to be helped by someone when he is in distress, and if he has a conscience, he will not be able to do such an outrageous and hateful thing.
Obviously, this family is really bad to the bone.
Naturally, Chu Li, who was only nine years old, was also placed in the impression of inferiority, just because he had a pair of unreasonable and greedy parents. Now there is a vicious eldest sister.
When Village Chief Li encounters problems, he has no biased prejudices, and everything is measured and resolved by fairness and justice.
However, he was bent on the good of Jiuqu Village, and his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law almost lost her body and two lives at the hands of the people in the surrounding village. that his heart may be desolate and utter.
None of the three ancestors and grandchildren were as heavy as ink, and Li Jing's crackling voice was the most indignant.
"Grandfather! How can we allow such a bad and unhealthy person in our village to influence. In vain with my peach's good intentions, it is impossible for anyone to kill her! ”
Village Chief Li pondered for a while, and said sternly: "When human lives are at stake, I can't stand idly by!" ”
"You two go with me to the second room of the Chu family!"
Li Ming on the side was surprised and angry, and waited for his father to speak. Seeing his father's gloomy face, he knew that his father must be resentful in his heart.
The Li family can't avoid petty fights, but they have one heart to the outside world, and dare to put the Li family's granddaughter-in-law to death, and no one can swallow this breath.
After saying that, the three of Village Chief Li all had heavy faces, and walked towards the house in unison.
Here, Li Baoni walked around the village, felt that the time was almost there, and went home.
When he walked to the gate of Li's courtyard, he raised his eyes and saw that the three village chiefs of Li were walking out with bad faces.
Li Baoni asked puzzledly, "Grandfather, uncle, elder brother, where are you going?" ”
Li Jing couldn't keep his mouth shut, and said with red eyes: "Go and ask for an explanation for your sister-in-law in the lobby of the second room of the Chu family!" She was deliberately pushed to the ground by Chu Xing that day. ”
Hearing this, Li Baoni was very shocked, she was stunned and said, "Is it her?" How dare she? ”
Thinking of when she saw Chu Xing in the past, she always had a bitter face without saying a word, and Li Baoni only regarded her temperament as such. Unexpectedly... It's really unseemly!
Although Li Baoni is a little arrogant on weekdays, she gets along well with Lin Tao, the sister-in-law in the lobby. She can't see her family being bullied, not to mention that Chu Xing is killing people in her eyes!
Li Baoni's eyes were on fire, and she said, "I'll go too!" ”
……
Near noon, the six barrels of cold noodles brought by Xu Wan had been sold.
After a morning's work, her mouth has become hoarse, and what she says in the past few days is not as much as selling cold noodles in the morning.
Xu Wan softened his waist, letting his back, which had been tight all morning, loosen and relax.
After resting for a while, he bent down and worked with Chu Yuan to pack up the equipment they brought, and prepared to send it to the Zhu family's shop first, and put it on Zhu Zheng's ox cart.
Then, the two of them went to the county to walk around and buy some food to take home.
Six barrels of cold powder sold a total of nearly 1,000 copper plates, and the cloth bags that Xu Wan hung in front of him were bulging.
Almost all of the cost of cooking cold noodles comes from the mountain villages, and at most the family only spends some firewood. It is equivalent to the two of them earning nearly 1,000 copper plates this trip, which makes the troubled Xu Wan feel very good.
The money earned is used to spend, otherwise how can it not bear the labor and sweat they pay.
The four wooden barrels were stacked together, and the other two were stacked together, the tall one was held by Chu Yuan in his hand, and the short one was handed to Xu Wan.
The two of them were hunched over and were holding out their arms, ready to hold the edge of the barrel.
Suddenly, a dark shadow overhead obscured the light.
"Little lady Shi, will you still come to the county seat tomorrow to sell cold noodles?"
Hearing this, Xu Wan slowly raised his head and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man standing in front of him, who had come to buy cold powder before.
Xu Wan vaguely remembered him.
She said with an unchanged face, "It will come..."
I don't think like this in my heart, I came to the county to do cold powder trading, first of all, to observe the problem of customer sources in the county, and to understand whether the people in the county will be willing to spend money. Secondly, I also want to test the security situation in the county, if I come here to set up a stall to do business, and there are local snakes who come to collect protection fees every once in a while, then isn't she earning money for others in vain?
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was visibly relieved, and then let go, and said with a kind face: "Then we'll see you another day." ”
With that, he hurried away.
Xu Wan hugged the edge of the barrel, approached Chu Yuan's side, and muttered in a low voice: "This person doesn't seem to have a simple identity......
As for how it is not simple, just look at the delicate fabric shirt he wears and the coarse and hard cotton cloth worn by Xu Wan and the others, you can tell the difference.
Chu Yuan nodded and said cautiously: "I don't know the true identity of the other party yet, so you have to be careful in everything." ”
In this regard, Xu Wan had already interrupted in his heart.
She raised her willow eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Aren't you busy and dizzy?" What are we here? ”
She didn't finish the next words, her apricot eyes flashed, and Chu Yuan tacitly understood the meaning.
Pretending to be old and ugly is all to hide your identity and prevent people from hurting the killer.
After all, this is the old times, the killers are legitimate, and their lives have to be protected by themselves.
Besides, Xu Wan thinks that dressing up in disguise is also a fun and fun thing for a thief.
……
"Niu Er's... Niu Er, mother..."
Mrs. Li stood outside the door of Zainiu's courtyard and looked in, she was festive, obviously a good thing.
Niu Er's mother was sewing her husband and Niu Er's old clothes in the house, pinching the silver needle to pull out the thread, and quickly tying two dead knots. Pass it to your mouth and bite off the thread.
She hurriedly put the shirt on her lap to the side, and replied in a loud voice: "Who? ”
After asking, he hurriedly stood up and trotted out of the house, and when he saw that it was Mrs. Li, Niu Erniang was overjoyed, and she had already guessed a few points.
Niu Erniang opened the courtyard door very eagerly and invited Mrs. Li into the house.
asked anxiously: "Mrs. Li, but I asked you to find my daughter-in-law, is there any news?" ”
Since Mrs. Li came to the door that day, many days have passed. During this period, Niu Erniang waited until the corners of her mouth were blistered, and she went down for two or three days.
Mrs. Li squinted her eyes and smiled: "You really guess accurately, I'm here to talk about this." ”
As she spoke, the two walked into the Niu family's house one after the other, Niu Erniang pulled a stool and invited Mrs. Li to sit, and she dragged the stool to sit in her identity.
Niu Erniang urged impatiently: "Mrs. Li, say it quickly, I can't eat or sleep well these days for this matter..."
Mrs. Li patted her on the shoulder, with a look of clarity in her eyes, and quipped: "Look at you, you still don't hear much about my reputation?" Is there a family affair that I haven't done? ”
She doesn't sell it either, and she mentions serious things.
"There is a little girl in the Lao Lin family in the next village, who is a standard person, and her ass is not small. Their family is also anxious to find her a good in-law. Just ......"
Seeing that Mrs. Li wanted to speak and stopped, Niu Erniang glared and said: "If you have anything, you can say it directly, and you should explain it when you say it, but don't make jokes later." ”
Mrs. Li glanced at her, saw that she was calm, and continued: "Alas...... It's a pity that when the girl was young, she went up to the tree to pick fruit, and accidentally broke her leg, and the bones were not connected, and the family found the foot of the slope when she was older..."
Hearing this, Niu Erniang's old eyes flashed, and she asked, "Do you guarantee that her ass is good to raise?" Nothing wrong with it except the slope? ”
Before coming, Mrs. Li knew in her heart that the second boy of the Niu family was a fool, and if she could find someone, Niu Erniang would never refuse. Not to mention, looking at Niu Erniang's appearance, she obviously only cares about whether the other party can give birth or not.
Mrs. Li patted her chest and promised: "How many years have you lived in a village, I can still lie to you." ”
"That girl is very good-looking, and although she is sloping, it is not that no one wants to marry. If you have an idea, you might as well settle this matter as soon as possible..."
Her heartfelt words made Niu Er's mother think floating, and she didn't care about waiting for the old man to come back to discuss, and said directly: "Okay!" You go to Nalin's house and say, and I'll start preparing the dowry. ”
Mrs. Li said happily: "You can put a hundred hearts, this family affair is guaranteed to satisfy you!" ”
