Chapter Seventy-One: The Eve
"From the town or from a nearby village?" Red Bean then asked.
"I don't know, we've been wandering on the streets since we can remember, in order to live better, the three brothers are living together, and there is a lot of strength."
"When we grew up, we took care of ourselves a little bit, collected money to help others do some private work, but we didn't do things that violated our conscience, we... We still want to keep a back for ourselves. ”
When Meng Da said this, the three of them were a little embarrassed, if others knew that they still had this thought, they were afraid that they would laugh at it.
Where do the girls from good families like them?
But dreams still have to be there, what if they come true. Hey~
Thinking of this, the three of them turned their eyes back to Hongdou, hoping that she could simply give an answer.
If they don't want to, they have to find other jobs.
"I promise you."
What, what? Is this promised?
Meng Da and the three looked at each other for a moment, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes: "Thank you, girl." ”
Xie Pozi pulled her granddaughter aside, isolated the three of them behind her back, and said softly: "I really promise, if they want... ”
Hongdou understands grandma's worries, after all, the previous unhappiness between the two parties is real.
However, these three people really don't seem to be big treacherous people, especially since they grew up in the town, and there is something that may be able to help.
However, grandma's worries are not unreasonable.
Hongdou turned around and looked at the three people with a happy face again: "Although I promised you, but the discord between our two families is still there, if we really want to cooperate, we also want to see your sincerity." ”
Meng Da was a little hesitant, what more sincerity do they need, isn't it sincerity when they come to report the news?
"Isn't it sincerity that we will report the news privately to help you escape the calculation of Shopkeeper Zhou?"
"Dare to ask your eldest brother's surname?" Azuki asked with a smile.
Although Meng Da felt that this Xie family girl was a little out of the woods, he didn't care too much: "Don't give your surname Meng." ”
"Brother Meng, we have already taken precautions over there in Mingyue Tower, to be honest, your coming here today is just icing on the cake."
"In this way, this transaction is still a loss for my family."
Meng Da couldn't help but scratch his head, he felt that his brain was a little twisted now, and what the other party said seemed to be right, but it didn't seem to be right.
But what was wrong, he couldn't say. Forget it, ask the other person what they want to do.
"What sincerity does the girl want?"
Red Beans were blocked by his mother and grandmother, and secretly came out with a whole bag of powdered things.
"Before the three of us came to cooperate, they must have inquired about Dr. Sun accepting me as a godgranddaughter, right? This packet is the poison powder that Grandpa Sun gave me for self-defense, you eat it, and when the matter of Mingyue Tower is over, I will give you an antidote. ”
Meng Da, Meng Er, and Meng San were unwilling to hear the poisonous powder, who would be stupid to swallow the poisonous powder on the spot.
"Girl, isn't it?" Meng Da disagreed.
Seeing this, Hongdou took back the hand holding the poison powder and rewrapped it, and then beckoned grandma, mother, Xiaoya, and younger brother to take things back and leave.
Seeing that they were so direct and did not hesitate at all, Meng Da and the three of them couldn't stand still, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop them.
"Why should the girl be so embarrassed by our third brother? This is poison after all, as long as it is not a problem with the brain, who will eat this? ”
Meng Da tried his best to explain, didn't Fang Cai say it well? How did it change in a blink of an eye, and the girl's mind was too difficult to guess.
Hongdou took a step forward again: "Brother Meng, this medicine powder will not kill immediately, our original intention is just to ensure our own safety, and we don't want to be a murderer." ”
"Otherwise, if you three men want to deal with us, we are not your opponents."
Meng Da hesitated, and the three of them got together and muttered for a while, and finally Meng Da made a decision and said stubbornly: "We are willing to believe the girl once." ”
Hongdou was happy in his heart, it seems that the probability that the other party will come to the door for a living is very high, otherwise he would not agree to take the medicine that he doesn't know where to come.
For safety, Xiaoya took the medicine and handed it to Meng Da, signaling them to eat it on the spot.
After Meng Da and the three of them took it, Ai Ai looked like she was sacrificing her life for righteousness, and Xie Pozi was impatient to see it, and the big man was really unhappy.
"Do you want to eat or not, don't you want your life, don't you want to marry a daughter-in-law and children in a serious life?"
"After this time the matter is done, you can take the cold powder out and sell it, and if you have a livelihood, you are afraid that you will not find a wife? It's a big deal, I'll give you Zhang Luo. ”
Really, if you delay any longer, the sun will set, and you have to grind peas when you go back, and you have to prevent Mingyuelou from spoiling, they have a lot to do.
"Is this true?" The three of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Mrs. Xie with a look of surprise, at this moment they only felt that the hundred and ten sentences in front of the red bean were not worth the last sentence of Mrs. Xie.
When Mrs. Xie looked at them like this, she didn't understand, and tried her best to look at her granddaughter with white eyes: My wife works, right?
Not only Hongdou, but even Zhang's, Tuan Ge'er and Xiaoya couldn't help laughing, these three people are quite funny.
Azuki smiled and winked at her grandmother.
Xie Pozi received the hint from her granddaughter, and then cleared her throat and looked at the three of them:
"Really. When you have a proper livelihood, I will go to find your daughter-in-law, and if you have a daughter-in-law, are you afraid that you will not have a son? ”
Meng Da, Meng Er, and Meng San thought of their wives and children not long after, and their hearts were ruthless, and they swallowed the white powder in their hands.
I almost choked on my throat.
"Girl, auntie, you should be satisfied now."
Hongdou and Xie Pozi nodded and smiled at each other: "Could Brother Meng please explain Yuelou's next move in detail?" ”
The medicine has been eaten, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and Meng Nature is helping his own people.
"Shopkeeper Zhou is arrogant, plus he has some financial resources, and many times he is reluctant to use his brains to do things, and he uses a direct way this time."
Sunset over the West Mountains.
The Xie family had dinner, brushed Meihua, and after feeding, they gathered in the courtyard to grind peas.
They are not sure how things will go, but they still have to do what they need to do, and they can't just sit and wait.
"Grandma, don't be reckless, I'll just come with Xiaoya, Meihua's temperament is much better, and now she is willing to let me lead it."
After all, when you are old, you have to do less heavy work, and if you flash your waist or accidentally fall, the whole family will be worried.
"Okay, I'll go with your mother to clean up the kitchen, you two grind. Brother Tuan, remember to read more of the words you learned today and remember them. Lest you can't answer Dr. Sun's question. ”
Brother Tuan, who was sitting under the eaves and endorsing, said loudly: "Got it, grandma." ”
Every time Brother Tuan finishes learning, he will write it down and then sleep that day, very diligent, Hongdou is not worried about his younger brother at all, but he has strengthened his heart to send Brother Tuan to the school.
As the night deepened, Red Bean and Xiaoya put the peas they had ground today in the kitchen after replacing them with water.
Tonight, everyone rested in Grandma's room, and several people had already made some arrangements in the courtyard, and tools were also placed in the house.
Xiao Ya waved her fist at a few people, with a straight face, as if she was guaranteeing.
A few people were still a little nervous, but seeing her like this, now there is only one point left.
When the family stays together, the heart is more stable.
"Okay, come and rest, everyone is tired and awake tonight, and it will be good to wait for dawn."
After saying that, Red Bean got up and blew out the candles in the house.
The brightly lit room instantly turned dark.
