Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 7

The sun was high and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. At this time, it was time to eat lunch. Many villagers in the field rushed home with hoes, and the rest of the work would be done when the sun was not so sunny in the afternoon.

Of course, there were also some particularly capable peasants who remained in the fields and did not return.

Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, came back from the field, put the hoe in the yard, washed her hands, and went to help in the kitchen.

Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, came back from the fields early, and is now preparing the family's lunch in the kitchen.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng entered the kitchen, she saw her mother-in-law was scooping up noodles in front of the pot, and there were already a lot of miscellaneous noodles in the basket next to her. Seeing her daughter-in-law coming in, Mrs. Su said, "Lan Lan, take two noodles that Aunt Lin gave you this morning. Cucumbers, cut into shreds, let's eat cold noodles at noon."

Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile, and took out two cucumbers from the wooden bucket under the chopping board, washed them and cut them into shreds. Mrs. Su passed the noodles one by one under cold water; Mrs. Zheng peeled another head of garlic, took out The mortar is mashed into garlic paste, which will be mixed with cucumber in the cold noodles later.

Mrs. Zheng took out the noodle soup from the pot and saved it for eating cold noodles.

Mrs. Su poured the boiled cold noodles into another clean pot, and put all the ingredients prepared by her daughter-in-law into it, while Mrs. Zheng washed the pot beside her.

Looking at the mother-in-law who was cooking noodles, Zheng said: "Mother, when I came back, I passed by Ertou's house and saw Ertou's mother killing chickens in the yard."

Rural people are reluctant to kill chickens, let alone eat chickens. They always raise chickens and let them lay eggs, and then take the eggs to the market to sell money, or exchange them for other things.

Not to mention in this age when we are just getting enough to eat.

Hearing this, Mrs. Su snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "The Ertou's mother is doing well now, and the family has money, so why don't you make something good to celebrate."

Su Shi's words were purely satirical about Meng Shi blackmailing Mu Li's family for two taels of silver.

Meng Shi is a well-known vicious woman in the village, a gossip woman who likes to mess around in the village all day long. A few days ago, because of her mouth, Xiaoxin's daughter-in-law spread rumors everywhere and almost caused people to jump into the river and commit suicide.

No one in the whole village likes her, but because Ms. Meng is notoriously aggressive, unreasonable, and shameless, the villagers don't like her, but they dare not provoke her, for fear of being entangled by this woman. There were many troubles.

Everyone gets along with her on the principle that more things are worse than less things.

If you want to say that the one with the dirtiest hands and feet in the village and the one most likely to steal people's things is the Meng family.

Now the thief is calling for a thief.

Mrs. Zheng looked at her mother-in-law, who looked unhappy, and knew that her parents-in-law, and her husband Zhao Quan had a good relationship with Mu Li's family, and that the three children of Uncle Mu's family were very polite and pleasing.

In the past few months since she married in Ping'an Village, Uncle Mu's family has treated her very well. Usually, Mu Li misses their family when he cooks delicious food, and every time he sends some over. The distance is also good.

As a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng decided to explain to her mother-in-law what she saw when she came back. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng leaned against Mrs. Su, and spoke in front of her in a low voice.

Su threw the chopsticks into the pot and said seriously, "Is what you said true?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded solemnly, "What I saw with my own eyes came out of the belly of the chicken, and it wasn't gold, it was silver."

Mrs. Su thought for a while, and she couldn't care about the noodles anymore. She had to tell Mrs. Lin this important information as soon as possible. Thinking of this, she ran out like a whirlwind. Zhao Quan, who had just returned from the field, saw that his mother was in a hurry He ran out, and when he saw him, he didn't even say hello, he couldn't help but shouted in doubt: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Su Shi rushed to Mu Li's house without looking back, "I'll be back in a while, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

Zhao Quan scratched his head, walked into the kitchen with a confused face, and said to Mrs. Zheng, "Lan Lan, mother, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to get out?"

Zheng finished serving the last bowl of noodles and put it in Zhao Quan's hand, "Mother is fine, she should be back in a while."

Zhao Quan said "Oh", glanced at the noodles in the bowl, and smiled innocently on his dark face: "It's because my family, Lan Lan, knows that she loves me and that I'm tired from work, so she filled a bowl full of noodles for me."

Zheng smiled and flicked his eyebrows, "This is for Dad." Then he held up another bowl and showed him, "This is yours."

Zhao Quan smirked twice, and went to the main room with one in each hand.

At this time, Zhao Laosan also came back from the field. After he didn't see his mother-in-law at home, he asked in the yard, "Where did your mother go?"

Mrs. Zheng arranged the dishes and chopsticks, thinking that she should not tell the reason why her mother-in-law went to Mu and left home. It would be better for her to tell her father-in-law when Su came back, so she chose not to say anything, just said: "Go to Uncle Mu It's home, mother told us to eat first, don't wait for her, we should be back in a while."

Zhao Mu's family was not too far away, but they couldn't bear the scorching sun above their heads. When Su Shi ran to the door of Muli's house, she was panting from the short distance of a hundred meters, and her sweat beads were big. Slips off the face.

"A Li's mother."

Mrs. Lin was helping Mu Li to burn firewood in the stove, and Mu Li was busy frying small fish, a small basket had already been fried on the stove, and Xiao Muxuan took a few to taste from time to time.

Mu Qing was also so greedy that her mind was full of dried fish, she couldn't even read the book anymore, so she took some dried fish from the kitchen back to her room, and read while eating.

Hearing the sound in the yard, Mrs. Lin came out of the stove, and saw Mrs. Su bending over and gasping for breath at the door of her house, her face flushed red. This frightened Mrs. Lin, so she rushed to meet her.

"Sister-in-law three, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Lin was anxious, helped her and walked to the main room, and when she sat down, she quickly poured a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to her.

"Third sister-in-law, drink slowly, don't choke on it." Seeing Su's gulp and gulp, she was afraid that she would choke again, so she softly persuaded her.

Su put the bowl on the table, and after recovering, he laughed out loud when he thought of how cowardly he was just now, "This person can't accept his old age, I think when I was young, let alone run 100 It’s too long, even if you can run a mile in one breath without taking a breather, it’s not possible now.”

Lin frowned lightly, "You frightened me just now."

Thinking of what Mrs. Su said just now, Mrs. Lin became serious again, "Sister-in-law three, it's so hot outside here, we can't run here like just now, what if we get heatstroke again? Our two families are far away from each other. It’s not far, just walk slowly.”

After the two chatted for a while, Mrs. Su told Mrs. Lin the purpose of the trip and what her daughter-in-law saw.

Thinking of Meng's greedy face, Su became very angry, "This Meng's thief shouted to catch a thief, his ring was swallowed by chickens, and he blackmailed you in turn; he also played with a civet cat for the prince, and a broken silver ring was stunned by her Call it a gold ring."

"It's shameless!"

Su Shi said again: "Mother A Li, if you want me to tell you, when Lao Mu comes back, you should tell him about this matter immediately, you can't delay this matter, Mrs. Meng will definitely be horrified when she gets this windfall, If you go late, the money will be taken away by her."

"To tell you the truth, I came back from the field today and saw Mrs. Meng holding a piece of meat. It's neither the New Year nor the festival. Who would be willing to buy meat?"

"Not only bought meat, but also killed a chicken to eat."

"The money for the meat must have been spent on your family."

Mrs. Lin frowned, and said in a deep thought: "Sister-in-law, Mrs. Meng is not easy to mess with. What Lan Lan saw is not enough. She will definitely deny it when the time comes. We have to find some other evidence."

Mrs. Su slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "You reminded me, the family of Miss Liu's family in our village is from the same village as Mrs. Meng's family. Mrs. Liu must know the family of Mrs. Meng's family better. When the time comes, let her Come out and testify to see if the dowry given to her by Meng's natal family has a gold ring, if not, then she is lying."

At this time, Mu Li came in with a small basket of dried fish, handed it to Su Shi, and said with a smile: "San Aunt, can you taste it?"

"Hey! The fried fish is dry." Su Shi smiled happily, picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewing and saying, "I smelled the fragrance from a long distance just now."

"It's fragrant, crispy and delicious. No one in ten miles or eight towns can taste as good as Ah Li's deep-fried fried rice." Mrs. Su praised without hesitation.

"If Auntie San likes it, she can take all these away later."

"That's not okay, I took it away, what do you eat?" Su Shi smiled, the more she looked at Mu Li, the more she liked her.

"There is still the kitchen." Mu Li smiled and pointed to the kitchen, "My brother and Ah Xuan caught these together, if you want to eat them, you can go to the river to grab some."

Lin also said with a smile: "Sister-in-law three, you can take all of these back later. I wanted to fry them up and send them to you. Now that you are here, I just took them back."

Su quickly pushed and shoved: "That won't work. I just took away your things today, so how can I ask for more?"

"Aunt San, you and Uncle San not only brought us a bucket of noodles, but now you have brought us such important information, I don't think this is enough to repay your kindness."

"Which one of our two families is with whom? Besides, this thing is worthless."

Su Shi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Little girl, you are not very old, but you can talk."

After a pause, she asked again, "Did you hear everything?"

Mu Li smiled and nodded, "I heard."

She continued to smile and said: "After dinner later, I will go out and ask those children about the situation, and then I will go to Lizheng's house again, explain the situation to him, and let him know the situation when the time comes." Also go to Aunt Meng's house."

"I'll go to Aunt Liu's house again and ask about Aunt Meng's family, and ask her to be a witness."

Then, Mu Li looked at Lin again, and said: "Mother, if I haven't come back before my father comes back, you can tell my father to go directly to Aunt Meng's house, anyway, Aunt Meng wouldn't dare to mess around if Li is here. "

"At that time, we will have enough evidence that even if Aunt Meng has ten mouths, it's useless."

After hearing this, Mrs. Su nodded her head in praise, and said with a smile to Mu Li: "You are so clever, you have arranged everything in a short while."

"In the future, he will be a person who will achieve great things."

Mu Li and Lin both laughed.
