The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 327 I have found out

"Girl, that skinny boy sneaked out of the village two quarters of an hour ago and went up the hillside to the north of the village. He had a few steamed buns and chicken legs in his arms. I followed him and saw three people hiding in the valley on the hillside."

Hu Zhen came in and reported.

Hearing this, Shi Liu put down the book in her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly.

That is to say, there are more than four of them.

Only four came in, but three were left outside
"Keep an eye on it and don't startle anyone."

"Yes."

The second day of the first lunar month is the day when married girls return to their parents' home.

In previous years, the Song family would go to the Song family in Huanghuagou, but this year, her daughter got married and she had to go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. This first month of the year was even more important.

Therefore, Song had already made an agreement with Old Man Song to go and pay him New Year's greetings tomorrow.

Early this morning, Song started preparing her daughter's favorite dishes, waiting for her daughter and son-in-law to arrive.

The Meng family’s house was not far away. After taking a car, Li Xiangli and Meng Dongsheng arrived at the end of the morning hour.

The Meng family's newly hired servant and Lianqiu, who were driving the carriage, brought in large and small bags of things. The New Year gifts were quite generous.

Li Xiangli and Meng Dongsheng were the first to come in and greet Old Man Li, Old Yuan, Old Song, and Li Jihe.

It had only been ten days since they last met, but Song felt as if a long time had passed. She was very excited to see her daughter.

After some greetings, brothers Li Jihe and Li Rongyu chatted with Meng Dongsheng, while Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yuan took Li Xiangli to the pomegranate room to talk.

It was nothing more than talking about family matters, such as how the New Year was, whether one was used to celebrating the occasion at the Meng family, and so on.

Li Xiangli blushed and said everything was fine and asked her family not to worry about her.

Song looked at her rosy face and knew that her daughter was not lying. But even if she knew, she would have to ask her in person to feel at ease.

As a mother, you are always worried about your children. It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law in someone else's family.

To meet a good in-law family, with kind parents-in-law and a loving husband is a blessing from the previous life.

After lunch, Mrs. Song did not keep her daughter and son-in-law for long. She prepared a bunch of things for them to take back and watched the mule cart go away.

Shi Liu looked at her mother's eager expression and couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go to the city to celebrate the Lantern Festival? Then you can live in the city. My house is close to my elder sister's. If you live there, you can go out and walk a few steps to see my elder sister. It's very convenient."

Song paused, turned around and looked at Shi Liu, and said angrily: "Are you still jealous of your elder sister? You are going to get married in the future, and I will definitely be looking forward to you even more than this!"

Shi Liu laughed, "How can I be jealous of my elder sister? I'm serious. My elder sister-in-law is also going to take Baozhu to the city. Don't you miss Baozhu? If you want to see Baozhu, you can see her. If you want to see my elder sister, you can see her. It doesn't require much trouble. What's wrong with that? The house is empty anyway."

Song's heart was indeed moved. Regardless of whether the city was lively or not, it would be good to see her granddaughter and daughter often. "Then will you go?"

Shi Liu knew that if she said no, Song would definitely not go, so she said, "I will be going out a lot this year. It doesn't matter where I live. Mother is in the city, so I will go there more often! Don't worry about me."

Song listened and felt relieved. "Then go, let your grandparents go too. I heard your grandfather talking about how good the operas in the city were the other day."

Old Man Li, who happened to be walking by, heard it and said, "Although the opera is nice, I still feel more comfortable living in the village. Your great uncle and his people are not here in the city."

I can't bear to leave these old friends in the village.

Shi Liu said, "When you and grandma celebrate your 60th birthday, I will invite a troupe to come back and liven things up for you!" Old Man Li's beard was puffed up, and he was obviously very happy. "Well, I'm going out for a walk."

Old Mrs. Yuan looked at his back and said angrily, "He wants to show off. Believe it or not, by tomorrow, the whole village will know that you are going to invite a troupe to his birthday party!"

Shi Liu couldn't help laughing: "If Grandpa likes to show off, then let him show off. We will definitely invite a troupe of actors. We won't let others laugh at him for boasting!"

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but feel comforted. This granddaughter is so good.

Early in the morning on the third day of the New Year, Li Jihe and his family of the Song family went to Huanghuagou. The Song family now lives in the city all year round, but they came back to the village specifically for the New Year.

Moving to the city doesn’t mean you’ve become a city dweller; Huanghuagou is their root!
After lunch and sitting for a while, the family went home.

Shi Liu had just returned home and changed her clothes when Fu Dong came in and said, "Miss, Zuo Cheng is back."

"So fast? We are about two days' journey from here to Xiangning County. It's faster to ride a horse."

Riding a horse is indeed fast. Speaking of which, Shi Liu had been longing for a horse for a long time. Thanks to Liu Dongjia, she finally got two pretty good horses as a New Year gift from Liu Dongjia.

One is pure black, and the other is brown-red.

The black horse had shiny black fur, and Shi Liu liked it at first sight. She immediately replaced the mule with it and officially became her favorite horse.

In addition, this brown-red horse has good leg strength, so it will be kept for Hu Zhen and his friends who know how to ride horses to ride for daily errands.

I didn't expect it would come in handy so soon.

Zuo Cheng, who looked exhausted, strode into the room and bowed to Shi Liu, who was sitting on the couch, saying, "Miss, I have found out everything!"

"tell me the story."

"There is a wanted notice for Wu Cheng and several others posted at the gate of Xiangning County, saying that they have killed someone. Also, Chen Qi, the nephew of the wife of Xiangning County Magistrate Liu, has indeed relied on his uncle to bully people in Xiangning County and commit all kinds of evil.

I asked someone about Wujia Village, and people were talking about this matter with great interest.

It was said that Wujia Village was punished by God for doing evil things. Suddenly, a huge fire broke out overnight, burning everyone to death. They also said that if it wasn't a punishment from God, how could no one escape?

But I went to Wujia Village and asked around in the neighboring villages. When they mentioned Wujia Village, their faces changed and they refused to say anything. Later, I paid a fortune to find a scoundrel. The scoundrel said that before the fire in Wujia Village, county officials came several times, and the county magistrate also came in person. Then Wujia Village suddenly caught fire. The fire burned all night. He was drunk at the time and fell asleep in a corn field not far from Wujia Village. He vaguely saw someone setting the fire.

"As for the Five Internal Secret Records, I haven't found out anything about it."

After hearing this, Shi Liu pondered for a moment. If there really was fire from heaven to punish the wicked, would there still be people in this world who would do evil?
The bully Chen Qi, the nephew of the county magistrate, was kept secret by the people in the neighboring villages. Someone saw the yamen runners going to Wujia Village with their own eyes.

From this point of view, what Wu Cheng said is most likely true.

She called Hu Zhen to ask, "What's going on over there?"

Hu Zhen said: "Last night, Wu Jin also secretly sent food to the hillside north of the village. During the day, they were very honest and did not even leave the house."

Shi Liu thought about it and decided that if this was really true, she would not stand idly by.

If she doesn't know, she won't tell you. Now that she knows, she can't pretend she doesn't know.

That's a total of one hundred and eight lives.

Such a county magistrate who treats human life as a joke, such an official, is also a suffering for the people.

"Go and invite Wu Cheng and the others." After a moment, Shi Liu instructed Hu Zhen.
