The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 24 Is there evil?
Along the way, old man Liu didn't say a word, but when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he said, "Hurry up and go back, it's getting late today, you can come to my house again some other day."

Yu Maimai understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, thank you for your ox cart, how about this, I have a lot of big pig bones here, I'll give you some, take it back and make soup with my aunt."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Zhao's eyes turned green. She watched Yu Maimai take out some big pig bones from her swollen bag, and said angrily, "I don't know which wild man beat you back!" The wild boar, brought out here to be courteous, Old Man Liu, it’s better not to ask for this unclear thing, so as not to go home and have diarrhea.”

Yu Maimai laughed: "What's the matter, do you want it too? However, I never feed dogs with my things. It's a pity, it's too dark today, and I treat dogs as people, and I'm blinded by a persimmon."

This time, Zhao was so angry that she jumped off the bullock cart and said angrily: "Unclean things!"

Qiao Mai was reprimanded by Li Shengwang, and he walked out of the yard holding his breath. He wanted to relax in the village, but he heard a burst of abuse.

It stands to reason that all the people in Kushuihe moved here from Mijiawan, and there is no deep hatred. Hearing such scolding, Qiao Mai walked over curiously, and found a woman with her head down, scolding as she walked.

How could Qiao Mai not recognize this woman? Isn't this the Zhao family who has been against Yu Maimai all day long?

Looking back, I saw Mrs. Ning showing a white face under the moonlight, wearing a light blue long dress, following behind Yu Maimai, carrying the bag in her hand, and the bag on her shoulder. It turned out that Yu Maimai must have made money again, and the two of them bought a lot of things.

Qiao Mai shook off his body, pulled himself together, and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, two beauties, what are you taking, it seems that you have made money again today, right?"

Ning found that Qiao Mai had been staring at her surreptitiously, and what happened last time when he was intercepted by Mr. Chen in the town, this time, she was very cautious, seeing Qiao Mai smirking at her, scared I had to take a few steps back and put down the things in my hands.

Yu Maimai glanced at it and said fiercely: "I tell you, now that we have arrived at the Dry Water River and your mission has been completed, why do you still stay in our Dry Water River and disturb our lives? Don't you think so? Is it very cheap?"

Qiao Mai's face turned red, and he took two steps on his hind legs, Yin Qin's footsteps were obviously slow.

"No, no, we also have a mission, and we can't leave Dry Water River for the time being. In fact, we adults have long wanted to leave. Me, I just saw you carrying so many things, so I wanted to help you."

Yu Maimai still remembered the last time sending piglets away, this Li Shengwang must have other plans, otherwise, how could he be so gracious to send this one today and that one tomorrow?

To live a new life, Yu Maimai only wants to make money to support his family wholeheartedly. As for the man, hmph, it seems that the world will not turn around without the man.

Yu Maimai raised his head, stepped forward, and snatched the things from Qiu Mai's hands: "Put down our things, go back and tell you that so-called bullshit, we are living a good life now, I hope he will not come to harass you, Otherwise, we will report to the police!"

Qiao Mai didn't expect that Yu Maimai would be so wary of them because of sending the piglets away, so he stood up and left angrily.

"Really, I don't know what's good and what's wrong. I just want to help you get things. It's a good thing that dogs don't bite people. Since you don't welcome me, I won't stick around to help you."

Yu Maimai returned home and put the things in his hands in the yard. Mrs. Zhang heard the voice, hurried out with an oil lamp, and said shyly, "Who, who is it?"

It could be seen that Mrs. Zhang huddled together in the room with her two children, terrified.

Yu Maimai let out a long breath: "Where is the child, come out and help get things."

Mrs. Zhang said excitedly: "Mother, you guys are back. Just now the neighbor said that they are haunted, and they specialize in catching children. I quickly put Nan Nan and Tun Tun to sleep."

Upon hearing this, it was Aunt Chen who made up the rumor, Yu Maimai shook his head, and said seriously with a serious face: "I think you are crazy, try to keep as little contact with Aunt Chen as possible in the future, so as not to scare you by spreading rumors."

The bowls and chopsticks from the bullock cart were put in the back basket, and Yu Maimai was afraid that it would be broken, so he pointed to the back basket in front of him and said, "Master, take this back basket carefully to the kitchen, it's full of bowls and chopsticks. Be careful to break it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

Ning squatted on the ground, took out all the things on the bed on the kang, and carried them into the main room.

Then another pot of hot water was brought and handed to Yu Maimai.

"Mother, you've worked hard, wash your face quickly, eat something, and go to bed early."

Yu Maimai didn't like it a little. He glanced at Ning and said, "Don't do such things in the future. If I wash my face, I have arms and legs. I don't need you to wait on me."

Mrs. Zhang put the kang table on the kang, and put a bowl of slender noodles on the table.

"Mother, hurry up and eat while it's hot, and rest after eating."

Yu Maimai finally noticed that the two daughters-in-law seemed to be used to being suppressed, and they always served her mother-in-law attentively. Although she was not used to it, she couldn't refuse.

The bedding and covering of the kangs in the three rooms were all ready. After eating, Ning was holding the bedding in the main room to make the bedding, but Yu Maimai snatched it over: "What are you doing? I will do it myself! "

"Mother, you have worked hard all day, you should rest early, and let your daughter-in-law do this work."

Yu Maimai didn't want to be served by her two daughters-in-law as if they were useless. She said angrily, "Tell me, do you treat me as a useless person? Do you need to help me with everything?"

Ning huddled together, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Mother, the daughter-in-law has gone back to the house, you should go to bed early."

With a bang, Yu Maimai closed the door of his house, tore off all the things on the kang, replaced the straw mats and felt with new ones, and finally tore off the old quilt, and threw it aside .

After changing into a soft quilt, Yu Maimai prepared some hot water, closed the curtain, and prepared to take a hot bath and sleep.

The yard was quiet, and there was an oil lamp on the window sill, the flame flickering.

There was a crackling sound on the roof, Yu Maimai thought it was her own illusion, but she didn't believe it, so she listened carefully, and sure enough, it was a real crackling sound.

Although it was said that the people in this village were all murdered to death, and there were rumors that there were ghosts, she didn't believe it. She was a materialist, and she didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

"Who? What bastard, what are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

Wearing a padded jacket, Yu Maimai stood at the door for a full half an hour, but when he found that there was no movement, he came into the room with doubts.

"Master, do you believe that there are really evil spirits?"
