Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 160

Wei Yan has skinny arms and legs, even though she has a background in martial arts, but she can only carry a bucket of water in one trip, and she is still wobbly, stumbling all the way, the kind that can knock out half a bucket of water from a bucket.

Wei Yan fetched half a bucket of water with all her might.

Poured into the tank with a splash.

After finally washing his body, he was sweating again, and his whole body was sticky.

It made her uncomfortable at all.

Wei Yan frowned, watching Mu Li scoop out a few scoops of water neatly, her facial features were wrinkled together, and she said aggrievedly: "Is there anyone like you? I fetch water here, and you scoop water over there. When will I Can you fill the water tank?"

"You scooped up all the water I fetched."

Wei Yan looked at the bottomless water tank and was about to cry.

This tank is thicker than three of her, and it is as high as her waist. According to the current situation, how much water she draws and how much water Mu Li uses, she will have to wait until the year of the monkey to fill the tank.

Mu Li said: "Why don't you go light the fire? Let Aunt Meng fetch water?"

Because she is the only one who can make pork skin jelly, stewed large intestines and braised pork, Mu Li really can't leave now, otherwise she will go fetch water.

And it's not because she used too much water, it was because Wei Yan fetched water slowly, and the amount she brought back was small each time.

"I don't want to light a fire." Wei Yan said in a low voice, "I don't want to fetch water either."

Mu Li took a deep breath, and softly said in a tone like coaxing a child: "Do you remember what I said before?"

Wei Yan muttered softly: "I don't support idlers."

Seeing her dejected expression and her palms being red, Mu Li sighed inwardly and said, "Then you should rest for a while, I'll fetch two buckets of water and use them when I get back. Go on."

Mrs. Meng came out from the stove, "I'll go fight."

"Let Datou watch the fire first, he is used to helping me light the fire at home, so I'll be fine for a while."

Mu Li said: "No need, Auntie, let Miss Qi come when she has had enough rest."

Mu Li put the wooden basin containing pigskin on the ground, and left with two empty wooden barrels.

Said to fetch two buckets of water, Mu Li fetched half a bucket of water in one breath and came back.

No matter how strong she is, carrying water back and forth like this is a bit tiring.

When she washed her hands and was about to wash the pigskin for the third time, she found that the pigskin was lying clean in the wooden basin. She picked up a piece and looked at it, and there was no fat on it.

Mu Li checked all the pigskins, and found that every piece was washed very clean.

Mu Li turned to look at Meng Shi at the mouth of the stove, and asked in surprise, "Did you wash it?"

Meng Shi was a little embarrassed by her burning eyes, but she didn't want to show it too obviously, she poked her neck and said, "You don't need to thank me."

Mu Li smiled and said, "Who said I should thank you?"

"Think beautifully!"

Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

……

Smoke billowed from the chimney.

Da Wu went straight to the kitchen with a happy face.

"Ali."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Meng sharply, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"Why are you here?"

"Who asked you to come?"

Big Wu doesn't like the greedy, aggressive and fierce Meng family the most, and before that, Meng family was notoriously bad in the village, and he was brazen enough to blackmail Muli's family, so now she chokes whenever she sees her. soundtrack.

Meng replied unceremoniously: "Can you control it?"

"This is not your home."

"You!" Da Wu's face darkened.

Mu Li was really afraid that the two of them would fight here, so he hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Wu's arm and dragged her to the yard.

Mrs. Wu looked at the stove, then at Mu Li, she frowned and said, "Why is Mrs. Meng at your house?"

Mu Li didn't know that Mrs. Wu's dislike of Mrs. Meng had something to do with her, and thought it was because Mrs. Meng had a bad reputation before that Mrs. Wu didn't like her.

Mu Li said concisely: "She came to my house to help."

Da Wu seemed to have heard something shocking.

"Tell aunt, is Meng's bullying you again?" Mrs. Wu pointed to the kitchen, her voice was loud, and she deliberately said it to Meng.

"Don't be afraid. To be honest, the aunt will make the decision for you."

Da Wu's family is also not easy to mess with in the village, but she doesn't like to make trouble everywhere like Meng's family. As long as others don't provoke her, she usually won't take the initiative to provoke others.

Mrs. Meng heard clearly in the stove, added a handful of firewood to the stove, curled her mouth, and cut it.

Mu Li said softly, "Nothing."

"You have also seen that I am not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others. If Aunt Meng really bullies me, I will definitely take revenge on the spot. How can I let her bully me?"

Da Wu said in doubt: "She really didn't bully you?"

Twilight nodded with a smile.

Thinking of the fear suppressed by Mu Li before, Mrs. Meng in Zaojian shivered uncontrollably.

She has been doused by Mu Li for the past few days, almost forgetting that she is still a little tigress.

Da Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she took out something from her bosom and stuffed it into Mu Li's hand.

"You take this money back, we can't take it."

"It's right for neighbors to help each other, how can I ask for your money?"

Mu Li saw that it was the wages she gave Xue Fu and Xue Ergou, a total of two taels of silver.

Mu Li confiscated it, and pushed it back: "This is what Xue Ergou and Uncle Xue deserve. They helped my family build a house, and my family can't take advantage of you."

"What's cheap or not?" Mrs. Wu refused, and stuffed it into Mu Li's arms, "Get it soon."

Mu Li could tell that she really didn't intend to ask for it, rather than being polite to her.

Mu Li's attitude is firm, but he doesn't want to accept it.

Mrs. Wu couldn't resist her, thinking that her son had beaten the old man Mu with his hands before. Although Mu Li said a few harsh words, he didn't bother with them after all. Later, her husband and son came to Mu Li's house to make trouble, and Mu Li didn't even follow her. The family was quarreling, and the daughter-in-law almost had a miscarriage, so she went to treat her regardless of the past.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu felt ashamed.

She has lived for decades, but she is not as broad-minded as a teenage girl.

What a waste of time.

……

When Xue Dahai arrived home, the Chang Gung star had already hung in the night sky in the west.

The stars are extraordinarily bright and extraordinarily shining.

As soon as Xue Dahai entered the yard, Xue Datou rushed to him ecstatically, showing off to him.

"Father, my mother and I went to Sister Ali's house today. Sister Ali made a lot of delicious food and gave us a lot."

Xue Datou opened his arms and gestured, pulling Xue Dahai into the house.

"Go and have a look."

"Our family has meat to eat, and it was all given to us by Sister A Li."

Xue Dahai was taken aback for a while, and was dragged into the main room by his son.

There is an extra bowl of stewed large intestine and a bowl of braised pork on the table where I usually eat.

He thought he was delusional, rubbed his eyes, and found that the stewed large intestine and buckle meat were still there.

"Is this from Ah Li?" Xue Dahai said in disbelief.

Meng Shi nodded, and then urged him to wash his hands: "Go and wash your hands, I have something good to tell you."

After Xue Dahai washed his hands, he was still in a daze.

The candle was flickering on her face, and Meng's eyes were staring at Xue Dahai. She suppressed her excitement and said happily, "A Li asked me to work at her place in the future."

"He also promised to give me a salary of [-] Wen per day."
