Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 12 Who Said It?

When Mrs. Wu returned to her natal family, Hong Haobao sent things to the county, and the second master of the Hong family continued to pull weeds in the two acres of peanut fields, and planted the black beans and mung beans that were interplanted.Puhuang and Chen continued to dig buckwheat, but this time they were not together.

As Puhuang expected, it took about half an hour before the Yan family spread the news. Anyone who went up the mountain to mow grass or pick wild vegetables would ask Puhuang, "Daughter-in-law Hao'an , What are you digging for, is someone in the county collecting it?"

The further to the back, the more certain what he said, and then he talked about Puhuang and the others eating alone.In this regard, Puhuang saw the power of the rumors, but not long after, the Yan family also came up the mountain with a bamboo basket and a pickaxe in his hand, which was equivalent to confirming the rumors in disguise.

Most women like to be cheap and join in the fun. If the rumors are true, then digging buckwheat heads can be sold for money. If it is false, then it is not bad to feed pigs, and they will not lose money anyway.

Seeing this, Puhuang lowered his head and pursed his lips and snickered, no matter how much money he made, it would only be this once. If he wanted to eat alone, it would be too simple to think, especially if it was such a less technical thing.

Mrs. Chen saw that there were a lot of people digging Qiaotou on the mountain. It was good. The Qiaotou, which could be seen everywhere, became nervous. The whole morning and afternoon, there was less than one basket. Her face was a little ugly, but Later, he seemed to have figured something out, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he was not digging as diligently as before.

There were too many people on the mountain, and it was very noisy, but there were only so many buckwheats, and it was no fun to fight over them. Puhuang looked around, found a few remote corners, dug half a basket, and went back.As soon as she put down the bamboo basket, she heard Xia sitting on the porch with her back against the wall, sneering and sarcastic: "Sister-in-law, how did the news about our family digging buckwheat heads to sell get out, maybe you said it?"

Xia's face was full of righteousness. In this case, it means that her man's extra income will be lost. "Sister-in-law, how can you do this? Those buckwheats are sold, and the money they get goes to the public. This public has always Mother is in charge, each family cannot have private money."

Saying that, Xia Shi looked Puhuang up and down again, "Sister-in-law, I know you bought it, and you don't have a dowry, and you don't have any support from your natal family. It's more difficult without money around you, but you can't do this either. Telling other people, what good is it for our family?"

Hearing Xia's righteous words, Puhuang couldn't help but sneer, "Fourth brother and sister, which eye did you see or which ear heard me tell others? It’s fine if you don’t have a mouthful of hot water when you come back, and you still have to suffer this unjust crime. Oh, fourth sibling, is it just like you said that I have no natal family and no dowry, so you can casually accuse me of pouring dirty water on me ?"

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are really eloquent. I can't say no to you, but it is known to be true about the buckwheat. Just wait for mother to come back and settle the score with you!" Xia Shi stood up while leaning on the wall, proudly He took a serious look at Puhuang.

"Settling the score? The fourth younger siblings are really good. They put the crime on me as soon as they slapped their tongues. Maybe you said it. I remember that you like gossiping with people." Pu Huang snorted, originally He wanted to slap Xia Shi a few times, but it's not the time, so it's best to take advantage of the chaos!
"You..." Xia Shi turned her head and gave Puhuang a hard look. Someone did come to ask her about it just now, and she slipped her tongue without noticing it. Going out, she just admitted it.

Pu Huang ignored Xia's murderous gaze, and directly closed the side door, only to see Hong Haoan falling asleep with his back leaning on a chair, holding a book in his hand.Xu Shi noticed someone, he woke up, a little embarrassed, put the book aside, "You are thirsty, there is water on the table."

Puhuang nodded, and drank the pot of water in one gulp. After the weather was hot, all they drank was well water. The water source here is much purer than in the previous life, so they are not afraid to drink it directly.After finishing, Puhuang told Hong Hao'an about Qiaotou, and asked him to think about the separation of the family.

Hong Haoan frowned, no matter whether Puhuang had a hand in it or not, Wu would believe that it was all done by Puhuang, the explanation is meaningless, the key is how to deal with it.

"I don't think father wants us to split up. I originally thought about splitting up after cousin Haozheng came back. At that time, I can ask him to borrow some money to build a house." Hong Hao'an has thought about what will happen if we split up now, and start a house. There is not enough money, renting a house, there are very few suitable ones in the village, so I just want to procrastinate for a while.

"The date of my cousin's return is undecided, so we can't place our hopes on him. It's already the beginning of June, and the rice harvest will start in half a month. If Dad agrees to split the family, or we can go out to eat, and move after the busy farming season." Let's go." Pu Huang thought about it, and felt that this was the best choice. If she eats by herself, she can decide what to cook.

"That's okay, let's share the food, but if you don't move out, you have to do the same work at home, can you bear it?" Hong Hao'an thought about it, and if the food is divided, Puhuang can be eaten even if he can't eat it all If you are half full, you don't have to go out for spearfishing every night.

Pu Huang nodded. If Hong Haoan satisfied her the most, it was that he was very indifferent to this family, and he was not foolish. If he was like Hong Haoping, she would probably die of a headache.Such a man may not be a good son in the eyes of tradition, but for his wife, he is a good husband who can distinguish between emotional priorities.

At the beginning of Shenshi in the afternoon, Mrs. Wu came back in a good mood. Although the two elder brothers were all pickled salty buckwheat heads, the price would not be very high, but the quantity was large, and they sold for a small amount of money. This time she He also specifically mentioned the price of sweet and sour buckwheat to encourage them to make this next time.

It's just that when she first entered the village, she felt that the people around her looked at her strangely, and wondered what was going on?As soon as I was about to cross the bridge, I saw my neighbor Yan Shi, with a strange smile on her greasy round face, "Hey, sister Wu, why are you so stingy, even if you have a new way to make money?" gas?"

Wu frowned, a new way to make money?Could it be about Qiaotou? I felt a little uneasy, but I still said calmly: "Hey, sister of the Yan family, what are you talking about? If I have a good way to make money, why would I hide it? Well, we're separated by two vegetable fields, you don't know what's going on in my house."

"You can't say that. The thing you dug up, oh, the little thing called buckwheat, I ate it raw, and it tastes good. I think it will be sold, and someone will want it, my sister said." Yan Shi said with a smile, "Hey, I won't tell my sister anymore, I'm going to find my cousin."

Seeing Yan's back walking away, Wu couldn't help but sink his face. From those words, it can be seen that the fact that the buckwheat can be sold for money has been exposed, and it must be that damn bitch.Just say why are you so obedient these days, it turns out that the back move is waiting here, his thoughts are really vicious.

The atmosphere in the house was a little gloomy. When the second master of the Hong family came back from the field, he met many people talking about buckwheat. It was nothing more than that their Hong family ate alone, dug up so many buckwheat in the village, and wanted to hide the money from them. Fazi, really selfish and so on!

The second master of the Hong family was a face-saving man, and he couldn't tolerate others saying that he was a face-saving person. After he came back, he kept a straight face, asking Hong Haoping to throw away all the buckwheat that he had dug up.

Mrs. Chen was busy running around in the kitchen, she couldn't help but pause when she heard the words of the second master of the Hong family, this matter will get worse when her mother-in-law comes back, could it be that Puhuang really said it?She doesn't seem like a talkative person, but Xia Shi is more suspicious.

As soon as Mrs. Wu came back, she saw the washed buckwheat heads hanging on the plaque basket. Looking at the quantity, it was at least one basket less than last time. No matter what, it was twenty or thirty catties. How much less silver was this!

Seeing Mrs. Wu, the second master of the Hong family got angry: "Go back to your mother's house, go back to your mother's house, what do you do every day when you go back to your mother's house, look, what people in the village say about our family when you get this thing, selfish, selfish, eating alone, taking advantage, All kinds of bad words have come out, you can decide whether you want to tell this idea, or throw away the buckwheat."

Wu's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips, "Why are you yelling, what's wrong with me going back to my mother's house, and it's not bothering you? Who said that buckwheat can be sold for money? Last time I said it and took it." Come and cook it for pigs.” Then, he glanced around and saw that Puhuang and Hong Hao’an were not there, “Why, what about the crippled and bitch, if you’re afraid, hide when you cause trouble, it’s really you who gave birth Good son!"

The second master of the Hong family stared, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did the old master say it? Do you think no one knows about your business of selling buckwheat? Did the old master go with you? How did the villagers spread it so much? thin?"

Hearing what the second master of the Hong family said, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but feel something was wrong, turned around and went to the side door, looked at the open door, and said with a sarcasm: "Why, sister-in-law dare not come out, afraid of being scolded by mother? "

Puhuang raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Xia with a smile that was not a smile. She heard clearly what was said in the hall just now. This Mrs. Xia is going to push herself out to be cannon fodder, "The fourth sibling is really enthusiastic, running around , look at your belly, it's not too young, you have to be careful, I heard that premature babies can't support them."

"You!!!" Xia Shi took a few steps back holding her belly in her hands, looked at Puhuang in horror, then turned around and went to the hall as if remembering something, crying in her mouth: "Father, mother, sister-in-law They said they were going to beat me, that the child was born too early and would not be able to support him!"

Pu Huang raised his eyebrows, looked down at Hong Haoan's expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mrs. Wu was already in a fit of anger, but now hearing Mrs. Xia's snarl, she rushed into Puhuang's room and wanted to slap her.Pu Huang took a step back, avoiding Wu's palm, "Mother, I'm not that vicious person, how can I destroy the child in the womb of the fourth sibling, it must be that the fourth sibling got it wrong, I was just Just remind her to be careful not to fall when walking."

"You bitch, you still dare to quibble. Did you tell the story about Qiaotou? Well, I know you are not a law-abiding person. You have made the Hong family lose money, and you are going to kill my unborn grandson." , you really are a disaster, today, I have to divorce you." Wu Shi said, wanting to slap her again, but Hong Haoan's chair was in front of her, so she could only stare bitterly.
