Chapter 9

"What are you talking about? You are afraid of ghosts."

Fang Guihua became angry from embarrassment at Li Muzhen's words, put down her work, looked at Li Muzhen viciously, and yelled.

With that posture, there is a possibility of a fight with Li Mujin at any time.She just waited for what Li Muzhen would say, and if that Li Muzhen said something bad, she would go up and tear her mouth open.

But before Li Mujin could speak, Qiao Lanzhi, who was washing clothes not far away, looked up at Fang Guihua and shouted loudly.When she shouted, all the women washing clothes by the river burst into laughter.

Fang Guihua's hands and feet are not clean, and she has a thick skin. Compared with Li Mujin, these women actually hate her the most.That's her, shamelessly trying to get close to them all day long, like a dog's skin plaster, and she can't be pushed away.

Now it's hard to seize the opportunity to satirize her, and no one who doesn't speak up will turn cheeks red at the cheeky Fang Guihua's words in a short while, and finally can't be arrogant anymore, and angrily walks away with the half-washed clothes.

"Aunt Qiao, thank you."

Qiao's age is not very old, only 27 or [-] years old, but it is not an exaggeration to call her Aunt Qiao in Li Mujin's generation.

"Thank you, thank you, my aunt didn't say anything."

Thanks to Li Muzhen's sudden thank you, she almost dropped the mallet in her hand in fright, glanced at Li Muzhen, and Qiao Lanzhi replied with an awkward smile on her face.

After returning, he continued to wave the mallet in his hand and hammered his clothes on the flat stones.She frowned, this ugly girl from the old Li's family seemed a little different today.

As for which place is different, it seems that he has talked more and has a more cheerful temper.

Fang Guihua left, no one said anything about Li Mujin, she took a wooden basin to find a place where no one was around, and began to hammer the clothes.The clothes in the basin were all replaced by the Li family. If they had been left in the past, she would definitely wash them carefully one by one.But now, after each piece of clothing gets wet, it is put back after being hit twice with a symbolic hammer.

In the past, when she went out to wash clothes by the river, it usually took half an hour, but now it took only a cup of tea to finish the laundry.

After washing, she didn't dare to go home now, otherwise Mrs. Wang would definitely find something.Glancing at the surrounding environment, he put the wooden plate by the river and left.

On both sides of the downstream of the small river, there are all kinds of grasses, which will sprout from the ground.Li Mujin looked for something underground with her head down, and ran over when she found it.

Working all year round, and the winter is cold, the backs of Li Mujin's hands were covered with chilblains, and some were cracked and bloody.

Just now, when I soaked in cold water, it hurt so badly.

She still remembers that there are wild gingers growing on the bank of this river, but now she ran over to have a look, and she actually found one.Pulling out the wild ginger with withered and yellow rhizomes from the soft ground, Li Mujin peeled the ginger, and enduring the pain, rubbed the wild ginger on the frostbite.

He only used half of the ginger to wipe his hands, and Li Muzhen stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, chewed and ate it.After eating, I was sweating all over my body, and I felt much better immediately from the wind and chill caused by the cold in the morning.

It took about two quarters of an hour for Li Mujin to turn back.As soon as I went back, I saw more and more people washing clothes there.

Among them was a fat girl in a red cotton jacket and black cotton trousers, who was throwing clothes from a wooden basin into the river, and that wooden basin was the one that Li Mujin brought over.
