Chapter 64, Shen Duowang Gets Angry
The village chief was astonished when he heard this.

Do you want to repair the house again?
But I thought that Shu Xin's embroidery was good, and he paid back the money. With money in hand, it would be good to build a few houses and have a place to live.

"Where is it repaired?"

"Just next to my house, build another courtyard house next to the creek, with five or six rooms!"

"Are you planning to share a room with each sister in the family?"

Shu Xin nodded.

"How much land do you need?"

"I've seen the vacant land over there, and there's still room left. It's just right to use it to build a house!"

"Then you go home first, I will bring someone over to measure the space for you later!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin left the village chief's house with a basket in his hand, only to remember not asking Shu Youren when he would be back.

I wanted to turn around and ask, but I gave up after thinking about it.

Go home and talk to Mrs. Liu about the house.

When the house is repaired, I can embroider with peace of mind.

Liu Shi naturally listened to Shu Xin, "Then you wait at home and don't go out to work!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin waited at home for about an hour, and the village head brought a few people over and measured the land on the side, which was about the same size as the current yard, and there was still a lot of distance from the side to the creek, so even if there was a flood, it would not be too late. something will happen.

"Village Uncle!"

"Ok?"

"This time the house is repaired, can the house deed and land deed be completed?"

The village chief was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Shu Xin's family hadn't gone to the town to apply for a house or land deed.

At first it was because of some selfishness, and later it was because of Xiao Wu's affairs.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the town tomorrow to make out the house deed and the land deed, but in the future you will be a family, and you will have to pay the taxes you should pay, especially since the autumn harvest is coming soon, Ah Xin..."

The village head meant that he wanted to take it easy and register after the autumn harvest.

"Uncle Village, the night is long and dreams are full, it's better to settle down earlier!" Shu Xin whispered.

He didn't directly say that he was afraid that Shu'amu's family would find an excuse to come and make trouble.

But if the Liu family is established as the head of the household, in the future, Shu'amu will be allowed to make troubles, and it will make sense wherever he goes.

"What you said is also reasonable, so that's it, what about building the house? Or find those people last time?!"

"Well, it's still the same as last time, no matter the food, but you can give more money, the only requirement is that the house needs to be repaired quickly!"

The village chief nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will go for a walk in the afternoon, if they are not alive, I will come to your house to discuss with you how much money is needed, if there is a delay, I will come as soon as possible, don't worry !"

Shu Xin saluted the village chief, "Thank you, village chief!"

"Since you called me uncle, I have to worry about your family. Come on, I'll go back first. You have to wake up at night, and the gate of the courtyard must be locked. Try to get two dogs to raise. I can take care of the nursing home!"

"I remember, Uncle Village!"

Shu Xin heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off the village chief and his party.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Baotou, who was repairing the house, came, driving a small ox cart, accompanied by his wife.

Shu Xin was somewhat satisfied just looking at it.

After all, her mother is now a woman, and the family is full of girls. It is not appropriate for a big man to come. Seeing that the village chief and the others came, they did not enter the yard, and they talked about everything outside the yard.

Liu asked Shu Xin to come for an interview.

When it comes to general housework, she is good at how to make food and embroidery, but she is not good at dealing with people and talking about serious business.

But also sitting on the side, listening carefully.

"Uncle and aunt, this house is almost built like our house. I have already drawn the blueprints. The courtyard walls are still made of wood. The only requirement is that the progress is a little faster. I am willing to pay 12 taels of silver as wages, and the other three taels as a salary." To subsidize the meal, there is still five taels to buy green tiles, a total of 20 taels of silver, first give the uncle ten taels as a deposit, what do you think?"

"Okay!" The man nodded heavily.

He casually yelled that there are four or fifty people, and it can be repaired in seven or eight days at most if you don't be lazy.

Compared with the five taels of silver last time, that was really a lot of money.

But last time for five taels of silver, many people from Shujia Village came to help, but this time there may not be any.

"Then thank you, uncle!"

"My surname is Zhao, and your family..." Before Uncle Zhao could finish speaking, Aunt Zhao kicked him.

Aunt Zhao apologized to Shu Xin, "You uncle has no clue, ignore him, I heard that your house has a well, has the water come out?"

"Not yet!" Shu Xin smiled indifferently.

Her second aunt's surname is Zhao.

Presumably they are from the same village.

"It's okay, when the time comes, let your Uncle Zhao take some water and pour it down, I guarantee you won't be able to drink it all in the future!"

"Then thank you Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao!"

"Then 25 is a good day, how about we start working at 25?"

"25..."

Shu Xin lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said, "25 is 25, that's fine!"

After seeing off the Zhao couple, Shu Xin hugged Liu and shouted in a muffled voice, "

Mother, thank you for taking us out of that wolf den and living a comfortable life. In the future, regardless of their life or death, let's live our own lives, okay? ! "

Liu's eyes turned red immediately, and tears streamed down his face.

He raised his hand and patted Shu Xin's vest a few times, and choked up, "You silly boy, for you guys, mother will never look back, so relax!"

Why is she not glad she got out of the wolf's den.

Shu Xin nodded.

After wiping Liu Shi's clothes a few times, she raised her head and smiled at Liu Shi, her eyes were red.

Liu Shi looked at the wet marks on her clothes, but didn't say a word about whether Shu Xin was crying or not, nor did she comfort her.

Her eldest daughter has strong self-esteem.

"Okay, let's think about what we're going to have for dinner!"

"Tangyuan!" Dou Hua giggled.

Douhua knew that her elder sister was crying, but she dared not say it.

Because the second sister, third sister, and mother can cry, but the eldest sister can't, she must have read it wrong.

Seeing cauliflower and green onion, they turned their heads and dared not look at them.

Shu Xin chuckled, "I'll go into the kitchen to find something to eat!"

shy.

At that time, I felt a little sour in my heart, and my heart softened when I leaned against Liu Shi's arms, and then I couldn't help it.

What a shame.

Shu Xin ran away, and Liu's heart ached, and told the cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd, "Don't talk nonsense, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

Several children nodded heavily.

Because he couldn't help it, Shu Xin was a little shy when he saw his family members. After dinner, he boiled water and took a bath.

One person washes one by one, washes the hair with soap locust, and it is clean, and the whole body smells of soap locust, which is very pleasant.

I pulled a chair and sat in the yard, knocking on pumpkin seeds, waiting for my hair to dry.

Hee hee haha ​​playing, happy and happy.

After the hair was dry, the sisters went back to the house to sleep.

Douhua is now sleeping with Mrs. Liu, and Shu Xin is sleeping alone on a large bed. The window next to the front door is open, and the room is cooler.

This is a mountainous area again, without the pollution of heavy industry, the air is good, and you have to cover it with a thin quilt at night, so there are no mosquitoes or flies.

In the dead of night, Shu Xin would still think of his parents, feel sad and uncomfortable, and wonder if he could go back if he had the chance, but what would the family do if he went back?
Shu Xin turned over.

The snoring of cauliflower and green onion came from the bed next door.

"call!"

Shu Xin let out a breath.

She also has to go to the town to teach people how to jump over the wall.

"Bang!" Something fell in the yard and made a sound. It wasn't heavy, but Shu Xin, who was still asleep, heard it.

Sitting up suddenly, looking through the window through the moonlight, a black shadow landed in the yard, and then flipped out quickly, and there was a humming sound from the yard.

"Who?" Shu Xin yelled, quickly got out of bed without even wearing shoes, and ran out to open the door of the main room.

Under the moonlight, there are two puppies in a basket of grapes and a cage.

Shu Xin glanced at it, opened the door again, and shouted in a low voice, "Who are you, who are you? Why do you want to help us?"

Shen Duowang hid in the dark.

He pursed his lips, his heart pounding.

It really scared him.

Who knew Shu Xin didn't sleep.

Raising his hand and clenching his fist, he lightly pounded on the stone, secretly looking at the night, Shu Xin was standing at the gate, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his slender body slowly turned around and entered the house.

Then there was the creak of the courtyard door closing.

"Miss..."

"Ah Xin, what's the matter?"

Cauliflower, chopped green onion, and willow's all rose one after another.

Shu Xin pointed to the things in the yard, "That man brought it!"

"Sister, there are two puppies, so cute!" Cauliflower picked up one and gently stroked the puppy's head.

Scallion also hugged one, very tight.

Liu Shi looked at the grape, "This thing is a rarity!"

There are also people in the countryside, but basically they are sold in the town, and only the crooked melons and dates are left for the children to eat.

But the ones in this basket are round and round, and they are treasures at first glance.

"Since it's delivered, let's keep it!" Shu Xin said, then quietly went to open the courtyard door, and then saw a figure walking slowly into the distance in the darkness.

"You stop!"

Shu Xin yelled, and the black shadow ran up immediately, and disappeared quickly, unable to see anything.

But at least Shu Xin knew that it was Ying man.

A taller man.

Liu Shi also chased him out, "Did you see someone?"

"I saw a black figure, but I didn't see anyone. Judging by my figure, it should be a man!"

"..." Liu was silent.

Pulling Shu Xin back to the yard, he said in a low voice, "Since the benefactor doesn't want us to see him, he will send things later, let's just pretend we don't know about it!"

"Mother, this is not a long-term solution. Besides, when we were poor and poor, he was giving us help in a timely manner. Others would not say anything if they found out, but now we are going to build a house again. If people find out, they will gossip!" Shu Xin said in a deep voice.

In fact, this person entered and exited their house so easily, it was fine if he had no malicious intentions. If there was any malicious intention, none of their family would be able to escape.

This is what worries her the most.

Just looking at the basket of grapes and the two puppies, Shu Xin felt that he was treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Sister, this puppy is so cute!" Cauliflower stepped forward holding the puppy.

Shu Xin touched its head, it was soft and soft, it was really cute.

This man had a heart, and actually sent two puppies.

"Let's keep it. As for the benefactor, one day, we will know who he is!"

"Then what about the grapes?" Liu asked in a low voice.

"Eat it, if you can't eat it, let's use it to make wine, find out the grape seeds, see if you can let it germinate, and let's plant some!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "I'm going to wash two skewers, and I called for Douhua to get up and eat, and then go to bed after eating!"

"I'm going to call Douhua!" Caihua carried the puppy into the house, and after a while, Douhua's surprise and crying voice came from the room.

"Second sister, it's a puppy. Where did the puppy come from? It's so cute and I like it!"

Shu Xin listened, and smiled.

Mrs. Liu also laughed, and went into the kitchen with a basket, lit the oil lamp, picked out two big and good strings, washed them and put them in the basin.

The whole family took chairs and sat at the stone table in the yard, on which a pot of grapes was placed.

Two puppies scuttled around at the feet, whining.

I want to eat.

But Shu Xin insisted not to give them grapes, cauliflower, chopped green onion, and bean curd had no choice but to give up.

Carefully eat the grape seeds and spit them on the table.

"Mom, I'm going to town tomorrow, and I might stay in town for one night!"

Mrs. Liu was astonished, "Do you want to cook Dai's shopkeeper?"

"En!" Shu Xin nodded slightly.

Glancing at Cauliflower, Cauliflower also looked over, the sisters tacitly said nothing.

"Then go to town tomorrow in a bullock cart. When you come back the day after tomorrow, you can have a look and buy something. I'll get you the money tomorrow morning!"

"it is good!"

The mothers were eating grapes and talking happily, as well as their plans for the future.

Shu Xin didn't think about going to the town to open a shop and make a lot of money.

Now I just want to live my life, bring up my younger brother and sister-in-law, and let the cauliflower, green onion, and bean curd get married in a beautiful way.

This family can't do without her.

Moreover, I have to buy all kinds of expenses when I go to the town. If I don't have a stable income, I won't be able to survive at all.

The town is still full of fish and dragons, there are all kinds of people, unlike in Shujia Village, not to mention helping everyone, but not being rude and bullying.

Shen Duowang returned home.

When I walked in the door, I felt that the home was different.

Pushing open the courtyard door and entering the courtyard, he went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

He was a little hungry and wanted to find something to eat.

It's just that the kitchen was empty, and there were no leftovers at all. I wanted to find two eggs to cook a poached egg to eat, but I couldn't find it.

"..."

At this moment, Shen Duowang didn't know what mood he was in.

He walked to the side and found the wine jar, picked it up and took a sip, then let out a foul breath.

That day he hid in the dark and watched Shu Xin's family having a bustling dinner. He didn't yell or curse, but spoke gently and gently, persuading each other to eat more.

It's not like his family, which is delicious. The children are like bandits going down the mountain, robbing non-stop. If the father doesn't speak, the mother will swear. It's hard to hear, and the two sister-in-laws don't speak, and eat hard.

The two elder brothers were also silent.

With a home like this, why would I come back to him?Why do you need to spend money to repair houses and buy fields after you come back?

Step by step, they raised their ambitions, and their greed disgusted him.

The main house radiated light, and when Shen Duowang walked out of the kitchen, he saw his old lady walking in neatly dressed.

"Third brother, you're back, but you beat the big bug? Did you make any money?"

Shen Duowang watched and remained silent.

Just looking at his old lady like this, he took another sip of wine.

"Third brother, you are talking, do you have any money? Your fourth brother continues to manage money, but the family has no money. As the third brother, can you really see death?" Shen Li said coldly.

In the not-so-dark darkness, Shen Duowang watched his old mother's serious resentment and displeasure very clearly.

"No money!" He said in a deep voice, and walked towards his room.

When he came back so late, he didn't ask him if he had eaten, if he was hungry, and what he had done these two days?
Can you get hurt in the mountains?

That tiger is easy to fight?
"What did you say?" Shen Li exclaimed, and ran forward to push Shen Duowang, "Say, are you messing around outside? Did you go to a brothel? Ah, talk!"

Shen Duowang staggered from being pushed.

Shen Lishi sat down on the ground, "My life is so miserable, why did I give birth to such a wolf-hearted dog, if I knew I should have left you in the pain of urination and drowned, why did I dig my heart and lungs?" I raised you so much that I raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Shen Duowang listened, smashed the wine jar in his hand in anger, and kicked open the door, which fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

After a while Shen Duowang came out with a longbow and whispered to Shen Lishi, "Just this once!"

He stepped out of Shen's house and disappeared into the darkness.

This was the last time he gave in. So far, let alone crying, making trouble and hanging himself, even if he really died, he would not frown.

Seeing Shen Duowang leave, Shen Li was flustered for no reason.

But then he snorted again.

Old man Shen came out of the house, and said lightly, "Just do it, one day, you will regret it!"

Regret?

Shen Li sneered.

Why should she regret it, she will not regret it.

night is quiet

Shen Duowang walked slowly towards the deep mountain alone.

When he was at the top of the mountain, he looked towards Shu Xin's house.

He wanted to hear about that crisp uncle, who smiled innocently and kindly, and looked at him with bright eyes.

Invite him nervously and sincerely to dinner at home.

"Heh!" He laughed softly.

There were wolves howling in the distance, Shen Duowang took a deep breath, "Wow..." he yelled.

But he couldn't help feeling desolate.

His wolves attracted more wolves, and Shen Duowang laughed out loud, "Wow..."

Shu Xin tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and lit the oil lamp, and took half of the soles of his shoes.

Mrs. Liu knew that she was making shoes for the uncle who sent them back that day, so she didn't say a word of objection, but instead helped paste the soles of the shoes.

When she heard the wolves howling outside, Shu Xin was startled, the needle pricked her finger, and she quickly put it into her mouth to suck the pain.

Two puppies in the corner heard the wolf howling, and barked non-stop.

"Are there still wolves in this mountain?" Shu Xin murmured, and got off the kang to coax the two puppies.

"You said, what does the person who sent you here look like? If you see him in the future, can you recognize him? I hope you can hold back. After all, he has helped us a lot and sent such a lovely you Come!" Shu Xin said, rubbing the heads of the two dogs.

Just as the two dogs were calmed down, there was another burst of wolf howling.

The two dogs barked again.

"Miss..."

Cauliflower and green onion sat on the bed and rubbed their eyes.

"It's okay, you guys go to sleep!" Shu Xin comforted the two younger sisters in a soft voice, then patted Gouzi on the head, got up and left the room.

Looking in the direction of the mountains, he couldn't see anything except the blurry mountains, but when the wolf howled for the second time, Shu Xin frowned.

"Why is it so human-like?"
