Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 38 Persuasion
"Very good, but it's really not easy. You also know that you are a shrew?" Da Ya nodded in satisfaction, her face full of sarcasm.

"Hahaha..." There were bursts of laughter from the crowd.

Da Ya added another sentence: "Auntie, you are really promising, and you have lost all the face of the Mencius family! If I were Mencius, I would definitely ask the heavens to send down that day's thunder, so that you can remember well!" After finishing speaking, He calmly said to the coachman, "Master, let's go!"

"Okay!" The driver replied with a smile, raised his whip high, and the ox cart started slowly, heading towards Da Ya's house.Before leaving, the old man gave Meng Shi a sharp look in his eyes: "Shrex, it's really unlucky for Lao Meng's family to have such an insignificant thing like you!"

This uncle is Lizheng's cousin in Mengjiawan, and this is the third time that Da Ya has hired his car in the past few months.He basically understood the grievances and grievances between the big girl's family and the people in the old house, so he wanted to help this poor and capable girl.

"What? You old man..." Meng jumped up angrily, chasing the ox cart and yelling, unexpectedly the old ox pulled a big lump of cow dung, the hot stuff splashed out, and her pair of shoes were honored "Cow dung shoes".

"Hahaha!" The children in the village laughed loudly, and the adults couldn't help but secretly laughed too.There are also a few stunned youths in their 20s who have no scruples like children, laughing hard.

Meng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.The people in the old house were in a daze.

Mrs. Pan glared at Mrs. Meng sharply, and left angrily.

Li Zheng, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw him, the anger in his chest could not be suppressed no matter what, and his impression of Rao Shouli was even worse.

The majestic scholar master couldn't even take care of his family. The families of the elder brother and the fifth younger brother were forced to leave penniless.It's all come to this point, but I still don't know how to reflect on it, so my wife leads the family members to jump up and down, and loses the face of Shanqian Village.

After dinner, Da Ya held a family meeting.

"Father, mother, elder brother, it seems that the secret of the goji berries cannot be kept. I propose to make it public, so as not to be hated by the villagers." Xing'er was afraid that her family would disagree, so she looked at Rao Shouqin and Liu Xiangchun pleadingly.

Rao Shouqin was honest and kind, and immediately agreed: "I agree, my daughter's suggestion is very good! Well, I will go to Lizheng's house as soon as I have time, and tell Lizheng about this." The family has a way to make a fortune, But he didn't tell the villagers that this honest man was already very disturbed and guilty.

"In my opinion, it's better to invite Li Zheng, the patriarch, and a few elders to come to the house to discuss." Although Liu Xiangchun was very reluctant, there was no other way, "However, I have to make a request. You can also tell everyone the method of goji berries, but the goji berries must be purchased by our two companies and sold together!"

Da Ya suddenly raised her head, taken aback.

This was the first time she had seen Liu Xiangchun like this.

Sure enough, once Baozi is successfully transformed, will she continue to surprise her?

Rao Shouqin was a little hesitant: "I'm afraid this is not good, right? People from the village will be gossiped about."

"That's right, there are a few families, but the hob meat is very difficult." Liu Xiangchun calmed down, and felt that it was not appropriate.

Da Ya suggested: "Grandma, forget it! Today, if people in the village continue to hide things, they will surely offend a large group of people. In the future, my family and my fifth uncle's family will be isolated in the village. Yes. Uncle Wu’s family has earned nearly ten taels of silver anyway, and it’s more than enough to build a small house with adobe brick structure.”

Rao Shouqin nodded: "Ten taels of silver is enough!" The wood was cut in the mountains, and the adobe bricks were hewn in autumn, and the only thing to buy was tiles.To build a small farmyard with five main rooms and six side rooms, the money for tiles plus wages and food costs will be about five taels.

Of course, if you want to build a big brick house with blue bricks, you will need at least thirty taels of silver.There is no brick kiln in these ten miles and eight townships, and it has to be shipped more than 50 miles away, and the freight alone is expensive.It seems that it is not very realistic that Da Ya originally planned to build a big tiled house with blue bricks in autumn.

Da Ya reminded: "The problem now is that it's best for Aniang and Adie to go back to grandma's house tomorrow, and ask my uncle to sell the goji berries picked during this time to Baicaotang. In ten or eight days, the goji berries The selling price of the mushrooms must be greatly reduced! By the way, tea tree mushrooms are also brought out for sale, and the Jicui building has been out of stock for a long time! Looking for Lizheng, it’s better to wait until you come back from grandpa’s house!”

When Rao Shouqin went to Wudaoliang to pick up Liu Xiangchun last time, Da Ya told him to tell his grandma's family how to pick wolfberries and tea tree mushrooms and dry them.Wudaoliang is a deep mountain, where there are more medlars and tea tree mushrooms than those in the mountains near Shanqian Village.My grandma has a large family. There are five uncles in total. There are more than 20 people in the whole family. If all of them go out to pick tea tree mushrooms and medlars, the amount in half a month will be amazing.

Liu Xiangchun hurriedly said: "Well, mother will go to your grandma's house with your father tomorrow, and will sell tea tree mushrooms and wolfberries the day after tomorrow. Your cousins ​​have grown up and are waiting for money to build a house and get married Well, this money is an emergency! The house at home is very tight, and your fifth uncle is 25 years old. He has good character and good looks, but because of the problem of the house, he has not been able to marry a wife so far. The last time your grandma returned Tell me, when I have money, I will go out and buy a woman fleeing famine for your fifth uncle."

"Huh? Buying a woman as a wife?!"

Da Ya was dumbfounded when she heard that, and quickly vetoed: "No, how can this work? Then you are a person who wants to spend the rest of your life with Fifth Uncle, how can you be so casual?"

Immediately, Da Ya made a preliminary decision in her heart.

"Mother, I will go to grandma's house with you tomorrow!"

Whether or not that decision should be carried out, you have to get to know grandma's family, especially the fifth uncle, in person, so that you can make the most correct judgment. "Father, mother, I'm going to grandpa's house tomorrow morning, so I'll go to bed early, and let's talk about the matter that Lizheng and the patriarch came over to discuss in a few days!" Da Ya suggested.

Rao Shouqin thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright!" The road to Wudaoliang is not easy, and it is very far away. If you don't rest early, you will not be able to hold on to the road.

The journey to Wudaoliang was much more difficult than imagined. The bullock cart bumped all the way, and Da Ya vomited all the way. I just felt like I was vomiting bile.After getting off the bullock cart, the places where you need to walk are either winding mountain roads or mountain streams and ravines.In some places, there are even cliffs, and you must be very energetic, otherwise you will be in danger of falling off the cliff!
After a whole day of hard work and fright, Da Ya finally stood in front of a wooden house with her extremely tired feet.This wooden house has about five or six rooms. In front of the house is a small courtyard with a bamboo fence.It looked dark, low and shabby.

"Mother, is this grandpa's house?" Da Ya was very surprised.

"Yes." Liu Xiangchun nodded, feeling a little sad.

In the courtyard, a teenage boy was chopping firewood. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and was surprised and delighted: "Grandpa, grandma, aunt is back!"

A dozen people rushed out of the room.

"Oh, this girl is Da Ya, right?" Grandma held Da Ya's hand, tears streaming down her face, feeling unspeakably sad in her heart.

The children are so old, it's the second time for her to meet her granddaughter as a grandmother.The last time I saw Da Ya was when the child was full moon.One reason is that the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the other reason is that the people from the Rao family are too weird.When the child was full moon, she went to Shanqian Village to visit relatives, and only stayed for one night. When she left, she almost vomited blood from anger.

Not to mention her, even my daughter, in the past ten years, has returned to her mother's house as many times as she can count on five fingers.Moreover, every time my daughter came back, she was extremely haggard, as if she had never had enough to eat.A good daughter, this marriage is like being sold.For more than ten years, the regret in her heart as a mother can't be expressed in words at all.

"Good boy, your body is in good shape, and your water is fresh, and life seems to be going well, grandma can rest assured! At night, I will never sleep again!" Grandma looked at the rosy-faced granddaughter, and smiled gratifiedly. Tears of joy welled up at once.

The grandma's family is basically very good, except for the fourth aunt and her two children, they all expressed the greatest enthusiasm for her, and this enthusiasm was not too much, it was natural and just right.Especially the fifth uncle, who gave her a feeling of being like a father and brother, and the eldest sister made a decision after a day.

On this day, everyone went to the mountains to pick wolfberries.

Da Ya found an opportunity to avoid everyone, and quietly discussed with her parents: "This Wudaoliang is too mountainous. Although there are a lot of mountain products, it is not easy to go out. I have an idea, I want to let Wu Dao Shanqian Village is settled, so I don't know what parents want?"

"Huh?" Both the couple were stunned.

"Mother, my fifth uncle is 25 years old, and it will be too late if we don't get married! What kind of good wife can we marry in this mountain like Wudaoliang? My fifth uncle walked out of the mountains and went to Shanqian Village to settle down. When building a house in autumn, By the way, let's help fifth uncle build a small courtyard. With a new house, with fifth uncle's own conditions, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a good girl?" Da Ya said.

Only then did Liu Xiangchun come to his senses: "Yes, your fifth uncle is tall and handsome, can endure hardships, and has skillful hands. The things weaved are better than your father's. If it weren't for Wudaoliang Taishan, the family would be too poor I don't know how many girls want to marry him."

Da Ya looked at Rao Shouqin: "Daddy, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. I think it's good for your fifth uncle to settle in Shanqian Village!" Rao Shouqin smiled honestly.

The father and mother agreed, and the eldest girl quietly went to find the fifth uncle and dragged him into a small valley.Rao Shouqin and Liu Xiangchun were waiting here.

Uncle Wu was very puzzled: "You girl, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiangchun explained with a smile: "Fifth Brother, Da Ya told us that I want you to settle down in Shanqian Village."

"What? Really?" Uncle Wu was both surprised and delighted, but in an instant his expression was a little lonely: "But, can this be done? Are the people in Shanqian Village willing? Besides, I don't have the money to build a house." There is a few taels of silver at home, but the fourth sister-in-law is not easy, let alone silver, I am afraid she is not willing to give a few copper coins, is she?

Da Ya hurriedly said: "Uncle Wu, our family will build a house in autumn, and at that time, we will build a small yard for you by the way, and our family will help you pay for the money for building the house first, and pay it back when you have money in the future." Just give it to our family!"

Rao Shouqin frowned: "We can take out the money for building the house first, but will people in your village agree to your fifth uncle going to Shanqian Village to settle down?" This is a big problem, and he just thought of it.Generally speaking, each village is very exclusive and does not easily accept outsiders.
