Chapter 19 Pay the money, Yang Yongcui

"Yang Yongcui, you broke the screen wall!" Liu Yingyue walked towards the newly built screen wall, shook her head and sighed, then looked at the bucket of hot porridge and exclaimed, "This porridge is inedible, it's full of dust, it can only be fed to pigs."

"Let me see, what's the porridge like?" Qin Xiuzhu brushed off the dust on her head and body, ran back, and looked into the porridge bucket, "Ah, this..."

"Yang Yongcui, did you knock down the screen wall?" The Huang family's steward was a tall and strong man with a bearded face, walking towards here with a dark look on his face.

This man is well-known in the village for being unreasonable.

He is the nephew of the side branch of Mr. Huang's family.

The Huang family was building a new house, and this man was the supervisor.

If there is a problem with the screen wall, he will be scolded by Mr. Huang.

Now that we have caught the culprit, we will never let him go.

Yang Yongcui cried and said, "Brother Huang, I didn't mean to do that. It was... Liu Yingyue who forced me to do that, and I... I backed away. If she hadn't scared me, I wouldn't have backed away. She also insisted that I carry the porridge bucket, and I said my hands hurt, but she didn't listen."

She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, so sad.

"Third Brother Huang." Liu Yingyue also called sweetly, but she did not explain.

Huang San is a rough man and he hates seeing women crying.

He beat his wife whenever she cried, and she would cry when he beat her, and he beat her whenever she cried. The couple fought all day long.

Huang San likes silly women who smile all the time.

So I have a good impression of Qin Xiuzhu.

Because Qin Xiuzhu is a silly girl.

He didn’t cry even though he dislocated his arm yesterday. He still managed to work.

"Is that Miss Yingyue? Please stand aside, I'll ask Qin Xiuzhu and Yang Yongcui. You have nothing to do here." Huang San waved at Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue was cute and cheerful, with big black eyes that were innocent and clear. Huang San couldn't bear to make her cry.

The key point is that Liu Yingyue's mother is not easy to mess with.

Huang San didn't want Liu Yingyue to get involved.

Liu Yingyue smiled slightly, "Okay, Third Brother Huang."

When she turned around, she found Qin Yiran's face was grim and he was staring at her without blinking.

Liu Yingyue's heart was pounding. What happened to him?
"Brother Qin?"

"There's really nothing for you to do here. It's getting late, go home." Qin Yiran glanced at her indifferently and walked towards Huang San with his crutches.

Although Qin Yiran's family is poor, Qin Yiran is good at making friends and is generous and open-minded. Most people in the village have a good impression of him.

He walked forward, and Huang San immediately patted his shoulder, "Qin Dalang? What's the matter?"

"My sister is working here for you, I came to take a look."

"Oh, she did a good job. She just said her arm hurt, so I told her to do something else." Huang San said. He looked around and pointed to the dusty ground in front of him. "Xiuzhu, bring a small basin, sprinkle some water, and cover the dust."

This is better than carrying a big porridge bucket, Qin Xiuzhu responded happily and turned around to get busy.

Liu Yingyue saw that Qin Xiuzhu's matter was settled and Qin Yiran was there, so she didn't need to stay here and left.

Yang Yongcui looked at Liu Yingyue who left easily and bit her lip angrily.

Because she bit too hard, her lips were bleeding, but Huang San did not let her go, "Yang Yongcui, this porridge bucket can't be eaten anymore. This wall is broken and needs to be rebuilt. A lot of bricks are also damaged. You should pay two taels of silver for the labor and materials. Since we are all from the same village, I don't ask you for too much."

Two taels?

Yang Yongcui worked for the Huang family from dawn to dusk for five days and only earned four hundred coins, but she had to lose two taels?
Where does she get the money to compensate?
"Brother Huang San, I...you can't blame it all on me." Yang Yongcui started crying again.

Huang San was so angry that he cried.

"Try howling again? I'm building a new house and invite people to laugh, but you're crying here? Are you deliberately ruining my family's wedding? Two taels are not enough, three taels!" Huang Sangeng became even angrier.

He raised his palm and waved it towards Yang Yongcui, as if he was going to hit her. Yang Yongcui shrank her neck in fear.

"Brother Qin, can you please say something for me?" Yang Yongcui rubbed her eyes, turned around and looked at Qin Yiran and cried.

Qin Yiran looked at her coldly with a sullen face, but said nothing.

Huang San sneered, "Just now Xiuzhu asked you for help, and you said your hand hurt. Now you are embarrassed to ask Brother Xiuzhu for help? Yang Yongcui, what's wrong with you, little girl?"

Several women who were working on the other side also looked at Yang Yongcui.

Everyone had a different look on their face, and no one came forward.

No one helps me and I can't persuade him.

Yang Yongcui had no choice but to swallow her hatred and bit her lip, "Okay, I'll pay."
.
Liu Yingyue returned home.

Madam Liu couldn't find her and was waiting anxiously. When she saw her coming back with a gloomy face, she couldn't help but blame her.

Liu Jiang immediately asked her how she got out of the bedroom.

"Mom... my whole body hurts." Liu Yingyue rubbed her arms and neck and acted coquettishly, trying to get away with it.

She groaned in grievance, and Madam Liu's heart softened immediately. She hurriedly hugged her and looked around, "What did you do?"

"You locked me up in the house, but Xingyue felt sorry for me and let me out. I was just wandering around the village and went to Huang's house to watch the fun. I happened to see Yang Yongcui knocking over the wall of Huang's house. The bricks fell into the dust and splashed all over me."

Except for Mr. Liu, all the other people in the second house are disloyal and always cause trouble for the Liu family, and then let Liu Lizheng clean up the mess.

Moreover, he led his younger sister Liu Huaiyue and younger brother Liu Silang astray.

There was no need for her to say anything good about Liu Xingyue.

"Ah?" Madam Liu was shocked. "Did it hit you?"

"No, no, I was standing on the left, and the wall fell to the right, and it just covered me with dust." Liu Yingyue sighed.

Mrs. Liu was relieved when she heard that her daughter was not hurt.

Thinking back to when it was Liu Xingyue who let Liu Yingyue go, he couldn't help but curse angrily, "She came here to see the joke, right? That little girl is getting less and less likable as she gets older! Humph!"

When Liu Jiang heard that it was Liu Xingyue who opened the door, she also said, "Mother, I saw everything was fine. No one opened the door. How could Yingyue come out?"

Madam Liu became more and more disgusted with the second wife.
.
After breakfast the next day, Madam Liu was going to the fields and asked Liu Jiang to look after Liu Yingyue.

Liu Jiang frowned when she heard this.

But she had to listen to her mother-in-law.

Stay with your sister-in-law. Your son Liu Zhuer comes to bother her again and asks her to take him to his grandparents' house to play.

Where can she go?

Liu Yingyue saw Liu Jiang's dilemma and said, "Sister-in-law, I will only go to Qin's house for a short while to check on Madam Qin's legs. I will be back in less than half an hour. I will not go out when I come back. I will stay at home embroidering. I have to hurry up and finish the embroidery I brought back from the market that day."

Liu Jiang also noticed that although this sister-in-law didn't talk much, she was very smart.

He actually managed to persuade the maid from the second room to help open the door.

You know, the girl from the second house and her sister-in-law have never gotten along since childhood, and they would roll their eyes when they met.

It's time for her to visit her parents' home. Her mother sent someone to tell her yesterday to go home.

While my mother-in-law is working in the fields, I go to my parents' home in the next village. It only takes an hour to go back and forth.

"Then you have to come back early. If you are obedient, I will let you out next time." Liu Jiang said.

"I understand, sister-in-law." Liu Yingyue hugged Liu Jiangshi, patted her nephew, closed the bedroom door, and went out happily.

When she was almost at Qin's house, a man came on horseback from another path and called her from a distance.

Liu Yingyue frowned. Is it him?
But she didn't want to see this person at the moment.
