The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 99
There was still noisy in the yard, and the two stood still. Waiting for the Wumei couple to come closer, planning to go in together.
Sister Wu frowned slightly, “What is Sansao arguing about?”
“It may not be your third wife’s business.” Li Qinghe whispered.
Standing at the door and waiting for this while, most of the disputes between the few people have been pieced together. It seems that the two of them are going to take their mother to live in the town. Zhou Mu herself did not agree.
Then Zhang Haiyao quarreled with them.
Zhang Haiyao is not so much fighting for Zhou’s mother as it is that she finds someone to quarrel with Zhou’s husband and wife to get revenge on Zhou’s mockery of her earlier.
He left the boy and the child and wanted to go to the county seat, but his father at the county seat refused to let her go back. This matter cannot be mentioned in front of her. Fried at the first mention.
“Let’s go in.” Zhao Liyuan said. Actually, he was a bit embarrassed, but this was all at the door. It would not be appropriate to turn around and leave.
As soon as a few people walked in, the noise in the room disappeared. If Zhou Chengkang and two of them walked in, the noise might be even worse. But the fifth sister is different. She married out and brought her husband back. Zhao Liyuan is a guest to Zhou’s family. If his mouth is broken, he will be embarrassed if he goes back and talks to his parents.
Zhang Haiyao reacted fastest, “Ah, Liyuan is here, I’m going to cook.”
Mei also lowered his head and walked out, Li Qinghe naturally followed.
The atmosphere in the kitchen was embarrassing. Speaking of the Zhou family’s daughter-in-laws, Mei’s family had no maiden family, and Zhang Haiyao’s family was in the county seat. However, Li Qingmiao was originally a recruiter, so when he arrived, only Li Qinghe returned to her family’s home.
Mei looked at the yard and whispered, “Four younger siblings, we weren’t arguing just now. Mother should have lived with the boss. We live in the town to make money, so we can’t move back specially for my mother, right? “
Li Qinghe said.
Mei’s hands spread out, “But mother is not willing to go.”
“Actually, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law can try to persuade me, but I can’t.” She took out a piece of meat, which was prepared by Zhou’s mother for the first day of the new year. In other words, it was specially prepared for it. The Wumei couple ate when they came home, she washed it with the hot water in the pot, and while cutting it, she said, “My mother lives on my side now. If I persuade her to go with you, she might think it is. I don’t want to keep her, it will be uncomfortable then.”
Mei sneered, “It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love Yaoer. It’s not a lie. Why can you help your family with your mother? I also help you with your children cooking, but my second and third siblings did not Such a good thing.”
Li Qinghe and Zhang Haiyao secretly glanced at each other. If Mei hadn’t been married, even if it was less, her bride price would not be missing. When she first entered the door, she just didn’t want to do so. If it wasn’t for the brothers below to get married in a hurry, Zhou’s mother wouldn’t allow her to enter.
Neither of them answered the conversation. Who wants to quarrel with her on the first day of the new year today?
The two people here were silent, and Mei said again, “I know, you all think that we will not come back to help the mother in the autumn harvest too much… Then when I entered the door, there was no bride price at all, and the young crops did not ask for the bride price. What’s the difference between this and confession? I have confession, what else do I help?”
This is too much, no matter what, the family is busy, can’t help with some work? It was not once or twice that Li Qingmiao went home to help. Not to mention the son, even if the daughter married out, Zhao Liyuan also came back to help.
Li Qinghe didn’t want to quarrel with her, so he cooked the meal and sent the guests away. Zhang Haiyao wasn’t a man who swallowed his anger. He put the tub in his hand on the table with a “pop” and sneered, “See if you can, a widow with a mother-in-law, it’s not bad if your elder brother can ask you, but he also recruits… There is Lady Liu guarding, but you recruit one to see?”
“What do you mean?” Mei’s face was ugly. Can’t go to the county, this matter can’t be mentioned to Zhang Haiyao. So for Mei, she didn’t want to be mentioned in her previous days.
Zhang Haiyao brought the pot again, “I have a good day, forget the previous suffering, I remind you!”
All asked for it. Li Qinghe also said, “Mother did live with me and did help with work. But she also helped the second siblings and third siblings with children. Sometimes the two children stayed with me for a whole day, sometimes Fight. I didn’t say anything. You are going to live in the town yourself, and now you are not helping you with your children… Sister-in-law, do you think you are reasonable?”
Mei was dumb and angrily said, “You two call me one, just because I’m rich and jealous!”
“What kind of wealth are you?” Zhang Haiyao sneered. “My younger siblings have 40 or 50 acres of land, and they didn’t float up to the sky like you. I am jealous of her, and I won’t be jealous of your days…”
“Don’t make a noise.” Zhou Mu came in, “A visitor is there, what’s it like?”
During the next time, Zhou’s mother stayed in the kitchen to help with cooking. Mei didn’t dare to make trouble anymore. After the five sisters had finished their meal and sent the people away, Zhou’s mother closed the yard door and said, “Town , I won’t go.” She looked at Mei, “You want me to take the child, just put it down, but if the child is sick, you have to bring it back for treatment.”
“Where I want to live, I live comfortably on the fourth side, I’m willing to live, and hold back if I’m not convinced!”
When such words were said, no one had anything to say. The two of Mei took the children directly back to the town.
Later, Zhou’s mother cleaned the main house and returned to the west of the village. It was like Li Qinghe said to Mei that Zhou’s mother lived with her and she could not drive her mother-in-law to leave. Besides, she also helped with the work of the child, she was so stupid that she drove Zhou mother away.
If the child Xiyu is really looking for help, there is no one who can reassure her more than Zhou Mu.
After the Chinese New Year, every family started spring plowing. As you can see this year, Li Qinghe’s house will definitely invite people when there are so many places. Everyone is busy doing things at home for a few days.
In the village, Li Qinghe and his wife were notoriously paid for their wages. They paid after the work was done. They were also willing to have a meal at noon. There was some meat in the food, which was a good job.
Every year Li Qinghe’s land is the last to be planted, and she is not in a hurry. There are more sweet potato seedlings this year than in the previous two years. It was planned for a long time, and all sweet potatoes will be planted in the wasteland above.
When the villagers were busy with spring plowing, Qian came back quietly.
After recovering from the injury, she lived in the Hu’s house in the town these days, but Hu’s mother was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although she did not drive her away directly, she ran on everywhere, sometimes deliberately not leaving food. Qian can’t live anymore.
After returning to the Qian’s house, she and You had a complete fallout, and the two didn’t communicate at all. The Qian’s family had already lived with Zhao Tianfu’s family of three. Now I live in another Qian clan…The villagers have everything they say.
Especially in the early days, many people put their land under the name of Qian Lai Xing through Qian’s family. When I asked Qian for help, I gave a gift. As a result, I didn’t take advantage of it. On the contrary, I was fined three years of food tax, and I was worried for so long. Now that Qian Laixing is dead, these things are counted on Qian’s head, and she can’t directly trouble her. The villagers will arrange two or three things between her and Zhao Tianfu.
For a while, that means everything.
Wumei gave birth to a daughter at the end of the first month. Zhao Liyuan liked it very much. Although Zhao’s mother was a little disappointed, she gradually became happy when she watched the infant child every day. At the beginning, she herself was Zhao Liyuan who was born after giving birth to a girl. When she was three years old, she had accepted her granddaughter, and said that her granddaughter was cute and laughed.
In February, when the people in the village were finished, Li Qinghe began to hire people. Due to the large number of people helping, all the land was planted in a few days. Then, she found a few people to go to the woods and cut out the small trees and weeds.
Doctor Huang has already saved some medicinal seeds for her. Try to plant for a year first, then save the seeds yourself, and you will definitely have seeds. It will be planted in large areas next year.
In March, a few acres of medicinal materials were planted, and they were all very common medicinal materials, but Dr. Huang said that although these medicinal materials are common and the price is not high, the amount of medicinal materials is also large. Can’t sell.
Li Qinghe asked Doctor Huang for these medicinal materials. She had already said that he would be 10% profitable when the time came. Doctor Huang refused, but she insisted and asked the mayor to come over and write the contract.
As a result, Dr. Huang had to pay special attention to the medicinal seeds and the place where the medicinal materials were planted, and he ran to the village every two days. More than that, Li Qinghe had thought about it a long time ago. After that, he had to rely on him to process the materials, whether to dry or rub, whether to take leaves or rhizomes. Although she was willing to ask her if she didn’t give her money, she would have gone more wronged in that way. It would be much better if Doctor Huang looked at it.
In fact, the soil in the forest is better than the waste grassland. Much of the soil in the forest is rotted by years of dead leaves. She and Zhou Chengkang took the time to move the soil back into the forest and build a layer on the first few acres of wasteland. The food harvest is indeed much better. It is also very suitable to grow medicinal materials.
After three months of busy work, it finally eased up. Although Li Qinghe didn’t have to go to the ground to work day and night, there were a lot of chores at home and he was also very troubled.
In fact, from cleaning up the wasteland last year to planting food this year, the two people also sent out more than a dozen wages, which everyone can see. Therefore, she is not surprised when someone comes to borrow money again.
Among those who helped her with her work, sometimes they would come to her and tell her that there was a lack of money at home. Li Qinghe would also be willing to pay a little salary first, but she would lend a little money if she borrowed money that she was familiar with. A good talker.
But for some people, she wouldn’t borrow it at all.
For example, the Yang family next door.
The Yang family sat in front of her, much older than they were when they first moved in, “Does your family misunderstand us? We are all neighbors, why don’t we communicate?”
“I can’t get close,” Zhou Chengkang said directly, “Perhaps we had enemies in our previous life.”
When Father Yang choked, he obviously didn’t believe what he said.
But in fact, they really had a grudge in their previous life. The bowl of medicine Li Qinghe drank was said to have been caught by Father Yang. Yang Lanrou gave Xu Changjie a question and stood by and watched him feed it. Finally, she cried, “I don’t want to of.”
“Brother Zhou said and laughed,” Father Yang smiled reluctantly, “Actually, I want to get along well with my neighbors.”
