After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 18 Follow secretly
  How could Su Yueyue listen to her mother-in-law's explanation? She turned around and picked up the backpack she had brought back today.

In addition to wild vegetables, there were some miscellaneous fungi and fungus in the basket, which showed that they did not go to town today.

But if they didn't go to town and the two of them came back so late, then there must be something they were hiding from themselves.

Seeing her turning over the backpack, Feng Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lihua was holding the snake slough, otherwise today's matter would have been troublesome.

Yueyue has a stubborn temper, and he may not be able to tell her off.

"Aniang, didn't you and Aunt Yang go to town today?"

"No, I didn't go."

Feng Shuzhen didn't realize why she suddenly asked this question, but she replied one by one.

"Then why did you come back so late today? Is there something else you are hiding from me?"

Su Yueyue stared at her mother-in-law, feeling guilty no matter how she looked at her.

"No, it's nothing. Today, your Aunt Yang and I went to the back mountain. We found that many termite nests were destroyed, so we went to the deep mountain. I was just not very familiar with the route and took a long detour. , I came back too late.

It got dark early on the mountain, and we didn't see the road clearly. We fell down when we were going down the mountain. What could I be hiding from you? "

Feng Shuzhen covered it up.

"Really?"

Su Yueyue frowned and stared at her mother-in-law for a while, then nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then I'll go and heat some water for you, and I'll bring you some porridge later."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Feng Shuzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.

Seeing her like this, Su Yueyue didn't know where she was, so she naturally guessed that her mother-in-law always had something to hide from her.

But now is not the time to argue about this. Aniang has been tired for a long day, so she should have a good night's rest first.

After having dinner and washing up, Feng Shuzhen lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Yang Lihua has been sulking since she returned home. She can't tell these people at home about what happened in the mountains, otherwise they will definitely make trouble again.

Seeing her ugly face, the five sons in the family didn't dare to ask more questions. They just kept their mouths shut and sat side by side in the main room.

Yang Lihua's man is named Xie Qiang, and the five sons in the family are named Xie Da Xie, Second Xie, Three Xie, Four Xie Wu.

At this moment, not only were the five sons as quiet as quails, but even the tall and tall Xie Qiang was sitting silently, waiting for his wife to speak.

"The child's father."

After finishing the meal, Yang Lihua drank another glass of warm water, and then turned to look at her husband beside her.

"What's wrong!"

Xie Qiang immediately became energetic and looked at his wife seriously.

"never mind."

Yang Lihua curled her lips, and finally took a deep breath not to worry about it.

My man's reputation is not very good to begin with. Although people in the village openly say that he has improved, who knows what they say behind his back.

Now that my eldest son and second son have reached the age of fifteen, they will have to ask for a wife in two years. If they don't get along better with the people in the village now, they are afraid that someone will make trouble behind their back when they talk about kissing each other in the future. .

"Lihua, this is the money that the boss and the second child earned today. You keep it."

Xie Qiang didn't dare to ask his wife, so he took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket as if he was just asking for credit.

The three of them went to town today to move goods and earned twenty cash. The eldest and second brother were younger, so they only gave them fifteen cash as wages.

The total adds up to these fifty articles.

"Okay." Yang Lihua clapped her hands, took the coins handed by her husband, looked at them one by one, and then put them into her arms.

"Tomorrow Shuzhen and I will go to the town to sell the mushrooms and then buy some food.

We haven't eaten meat at home for about ten days. I'll weigh half a catty of pork tomorrow. "

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Qiang also knew that harvesting in the mountains was not easy, so he asked his son to boil hot water while he rubbed his wife's shoulders.

There are many people in the family. If they only relied on the harvest of those two acres of land for food, the whole family would have starved to death many years ago.

The couple discussed it and decided on the rules.

When the farming is busy, he works at home. When the farming is slack, Xie Qiang takes the eldest and second eldest son of the family to pick up some odd jobs.

The couple didn't get a penny of this money, so they saved it all for their future wives.

The money collected and sold in the poplar fields is used to buy food and subsidize the family.

The remaining three younger sons are responsible for trivial matters such as collecting firewood for cooking and raising chickens.

In the words of Yang Lihua, a home is not a home for one person, nor can it be maintained by one person. Only when a large family works hard in the same direction can the home be supported. The better the better.

Xie Qiang, who was a gangster at the time, firmly believed in his wife's words, and his sons never hid their selfish intentions.

Therefore, this large family has never been hungry in these years, even when the harvest was at its worst.

At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Su Yueyue quietly sat up.

She knew everything her brother-in-law did, and since she was a cautious person, this matter would definitely not just go away.

In the end, we have to find a way to cure him.

The moonlight was clear, blowing the hay by the window, and the faint scent of grass came to my nose.

Her eyes fell on the pile of hay, and the girl's slightly frowned eyebrows gradually relaxed.

There is a kind of weed on the back mountain. If you are accidentally contaminated with its juice, your whole body will be red, swollen and itchy. Unless you are buried in the mud, you may not stop even if you scratch your skin. This kind of weed is left to dry. After drying and lighting it, it can be used to drive away mosquitoes, snakes, and ants. Everyone in Shantou Village knows this, but whether her brother-in-law knows it is none of her business.

Su Laosan has been very prosperous these days.

A few gangsters picked up fungus and didn't care whether it would grow or not. As long as it was a chicken nest that they saw, they would uproot it, then destroy the termite nest, and watch the termites flee for their lives with a smile.

They were lucky, they had really made a lot of money from selling in the past few days, and Mrs. Su Li didn't bother to care about her youngest son. As long as he didn't ask for money from the family, they could just let him make trouble as he pleased.

Now that they can afford wine and meat that they couldn't afford on a daily basis, how could they be willing to let go of such an opportunity to make quick money?

When Feng Shuzhen went out again the next day, Su Yueyue was more thoughtful.

As soon as her mother-in-law left, she hurriedly sent her two younger sisters to the Zhang family next door to ask Aunt Zhang to take care of them, while she followed far behind to see where her mother-in-law was going.

After following for a while, Su Yueyue hesitated when she realized that Feng Shuzhen was taking the road to town.

Could it be that I really misunderstood my grandma?
  My mother-in-law didn't pick up many things yesterday. According to her past habit, she must have saved it for two days and then carried it to the town to sell it together. Why did she go to town like this today?

Su Yueyue couldn't understand, but seeing that her mother-in-law and Aunt Yang were indeed taking the road to town, she turned around and prepared to go back.

Who knew that as soon as I turned around, I saw my uncle and his few friends walking towards this side, arm in arm.

The next second, Su Yueyue hurriedly hid behind a tree and stared at them as they passed by.

Thinking about last night's plan, Su Yueyue subconsciously followed them quietly.

Because they were not far away, I could only vaguely hear some scattered words.

Brother Tiger...high...three liang...

The intermittent words fell into her ears, and Su Yueyue had a gut feeling that it was definitely not a good thing, so she became more careful.
