Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 40
Seeing that Wang Mangzi's family had left, Lizheng's face became brighter, and he looked around at the villagers watching in a warning: "Okay, okay! Everyone has left, so what are you still doing around Widow Shen's door? What should I do when I go home? Don’t just gossip all day long! Let me know who’s free to spread rumors outside, and at the end of the year, the man’s name will be reported!”

This is a trump card. You must know that every year the county will allocate some quotas for hard labor to the village.

If you really don't want to go, just take money and ask someone to go for your family.

This hard labor was hard work, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, and even lost his life. Although there was money to pay, no one was willing to go unless it was a last resort.

So as soon as these words came out, those women who had promised well, but thought about such explosive gossip in their hearts, and didn't go out to talk to others, and felt so uncomfortable in their hearts, all gave up this idea.

If you really want to send your man to labor for these few gossips, there will be a lot of good and bad, that's not worth it.

Looking at Li Zheng's dark face, he didn't dare to joke, so he walked away in embarrassment.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Lizheng also comforted Shen Jiayan, saying don't panic, everything has him as Lizheng, and Shen Jiayan will not be wronged. If such things happen again in the future, just go and call him Yunyun .

Shen Jiayan thanked Li Zheng and sent him away.

Li Goudan's mother-in-law Quan Shi and Li Goudan stayed behind, and when she was about to comfort her, Shen Jiayan took the initiative to speak first: "Sister-in-law, can I trouble you with something?"

Quan's hurriedly said: "If there is anything you need to help, sister, you can just say it directly, and our two families don't need to be so polite?"

Only then did Shen Jiayan speak, and asked Quan's help to find a bricklayer to help her family repair the courtyard wall in the backyard, so that there would be no one who didn't give up and came into the yard in the middle of the night.

He also asked who in the village had a puppy that had just reached the full moon, preferably a fierce one, and brought it home to serve as a watchdog, so that he would know if there was any noise in the future.

When Quan heard this, how could anyone use such a trivial matter?

Most of the men in the village know some crafts, such as building walls and so on. How difficult is it?His men will.

He fully agreed, and asked Li Goudan's father to come over in the afternoon to help repair the courtyard wall.

Li Goudan couldn't wait to interject: "Auntie, I know the old Gu Tou's family at the end of the village. Their family has the most powerful dogs, and they can go up the mountain to catch rabbits and come back by themselves. His family's big yellow just gave birth to a cub last month. I will take you Go and bring one back."

After hearing Li Goudan's words, Quan's also laughed: "Goudan's words are true. In the whole village, only Lao Gutou and his family have the most powerful rhubarb. Half of the dogs in this village come from the belly of rhubarb. It came out. If you really want it, after lunch, let Goudan take you to carry one back.”

"Nowadays in this village, there are very few people who can afford watchdogs. If no one wants them, those puppies will be thrown into the mountains when they are full moon."

Shen Jiayan had an idea in mind, thanked Quan Shi and Li Goudan, and made an appointment with Li Goudan. After lunch, they will go to Lao Gutou's house together to catch the dog.

Seeing that the sun was getting late, Quan was anxious to go home and cook, so he went home with Li Goudan.

Only then did Shen Jiayan unlock the lock and enter the yard.

It was easy for her to eat alone. As the weather got hotter, she cooked a bowl of noodle soup, put a little bacon in it, put an egg in it, scalded a few green vegetable leaves, sprinkled with green onion, and took The chopsticks picked up a small lump of lard and put it into the noodle soup, stirred it and melted it, and the aroma was tangy.

After eating, she thought that Li Goudan's father would come to help repair the courtyard wall in the afternoon. She planned to spread the broken tiles and tiles on the courtyard wall to prevent someone from climbing over the wall.

After searching for a long time in the kitchen, I found a few chipped bowls and plates, and in the corner of the yard, I found a few broken water jars, which were probably left by the Mu family. Put it in the corner of the yard and grow grass.

Take them out, clean them, throw them on the ground, and break them into pieces. Pick out the sharp pieces and stick them on the wall. No matter who they are, they have to think about turning them over in the middle of the night.

After she finished her work and tidied up the yard, Li Goudan's family also came with tools.

First, I went to the wall of the backyard to have a look. It was not a big problem, I just needed to replace the broken and collapsed piece with stones.

On the contrary, it is a meticulous job to insert broken porcelain tiles on the walls of this courtyard.

If you really want to prevent people from climbing over the wall, Li Goudan's father suggested that it is better to dig some wild medlar trees, or sparrow trees, and the wild rose tree, and plant them around the courtyard wall, not only To prevent people, it can also prevent weasels and other planing courtyard walls from coming in to steal chickens.

Shen Jiayan knew that Li Goudan's father had kindly suggested it. Most of the rural villages planted these thorny shrubs and thorns around the courtyard walls to prevent thieves and weasels.

Where can I find these things?
Li Goudan's father smiled honestly, patted his chest and said, leave this to him. When he has free time every day, he will go to the mountain to dig a few back, and slowly plant them. After a year, they will become Once you get the climate, you don't have to be afraid.

Shen Jiayan thanked Li Goudan's father and Quan's family, thinking in his heart, when they help repair the courtyard walls, they should pay more.

Over there, Quan's family knew that Shen Jiayan was going to catch the puppy and came back, and saw that his son Li Goudan looked like he had fleas on his body. Alright, follow Goudan to catch the watchdog first."

Shen Jiayan was also polite, and left them the three-skin canned herbal tea that had been boiled first, and then followed Li Goudan to the old Gu Tou's house at the end of the village.

At noon, the village was quiet, except for the children laughing outside, the adults were resting at home, and some were hardworking, and had already gone to work in the fields.

Didn't meet anyone.

Soon they arrived at the gate of Old Gu Tou's house. Although their family lived at the end of the village, they had three green brick and tile houses. Although the left and right side rooms were still made of earth and stone, this was rare in Dongguang Village.

Along the way, Li Goudan also introduced him. This old Gu Tou was originally a hunter. He was lucky. He took rhubarb up the mountain and killed a blind bear. He sold it for a lot of money.

I just used this money to build this big yard in the village, and bought a lot of fields.

In addition to his hunting skills, he had more income than most other families in the village, and he lived a very good life.

Now that I am old, I only occasionally take rhubarb up the mountain, catch two rabbits, and hunt two pheasants to enjoy myself.

That rhubarb was raised by Gu Tou, a kind of local native dog, very vicious, it is said that if you go into the mountains, you will not be afraid of wolves.

Going into the mountains is like entering your own vegetable garden. When you come out of the mountains, you rarely have an empty mouth, and you either come back with a pheasant or a dead snake.
