Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 236 Losing Money
The next day Guan Wen went to the old house with Li Xin.

There was no sound of people in the Guan family's old house, Guan Wen felt it was strange, so he yelled inside, and heard Hu Yueying come out to open the door while agreeing.

Now Guan Ming, Guan Zhicheng, and Guan Quan live in the Guan family's old house. The huge courtyard of the house is not popular at all, and there are no other poultry and livestock except for the lively pigs in the pigsty. .

Hu Yueying hurriedly invited them to sit in the main room, Guan Wen glanced at the courtyard of the old house, frowned immediately, and asked, "Fourth siblings, where are they?"

"My father-in-law went out early in the morning, my sixth brother also went to school, and brother Quan was busy with my second brother..."

Hu Yueying answered and poured water for them, Li Xin smiled and told her not to be polite, Guan Wen asked again: "I asked the fourth brother before I came, didn't he say that father and the others are at home?"

Hu Yueying said: "After Brother Quan went out, father-in-law also went out, and he is almost the same as Brother Quan."

Guan Wen and Li Xin looked at each other helplessly, and said, "The trip was for nothing."

Then he said to Hu Yueying: "Fourth brother and sister, when father comes back, please tell him and ask him to send my sister's Geng Tie horoscope or something, and you don't have to run away. Let fourth brother bring it over tomorrow morning. A sister's marriage is about to be booked, and these things are needed for the engagement."

Hu Yueying immediately agreed repeatedly, but her face showed two points of interest, and hurriedly asked: "Which one are you talking about?"

"There is a family in the town, and the man is a scholar." Guan Wen replied, and then said: "Then thank the fourth sibling, and your sister-in-law and I will go back first."

Hu Yueying wanted to ask again, but Guan Wen and Li Xin left after saying a few polite words.

There were still many things to do at home, and Guan Ming couldn't be found, so Guan Wen put this matter aside, and went directly to Hetanzi after leaving the old house.

Now that spring is coming, Guan Wen dug a ditch on the side of the river beach, brought some water out to moisten the river beach, and almost planted lotus root seeds.

"There may still be lotus root in the lotus pond of the other house, but I can't dig it. I still have to go to the town to see if I can buy it." Guan Wen glanced at Hetanzi and said to Li Xin: "I know some people in this area. , but the friendship is not very deep, and the wharf is now controlled by Mrs. Du, although it is easier to buy anything there, but I don’t know if there are lotus root seeds, and I don’t know if the price will be ridiculously high.”

Speaking of Guan Wen, he pointed to Hetanzi and said, "The weather is pretty good now. Plant it now, wait for a few spring rains, and then bring in some water. Even if we can make lotus pond here." Otherwise, it’s not a solution to let it keep doing this.”

Li Xin nodded and said, "When the matchmaker comes and finalizes Amei's marriage, I'll go to the town to see the lotus seeds."

"I'll go with you." Guan Wen said, "I've cleaned up the river beach, and the stone merchants have taken the big stones to the stone field, and there are still small stones that need to be cleaned up."

Speaking of this, Guan Wen hesitated for a while, and asked Li Xin, "Xin'er, do you really want to keep bees?"

Li Xin nodded, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"

Guan Wen patted his head and said, "If you are looking for someone with experience in beekeeping, there must be no one in Hehua Village. You should be more familiar with Lijia Village than me."

Li Xin sighed and said, "There is no such thing in Li Family Village."

"Why don't you go to Xiahe Village and ask?"

Guan Wen smiled and said, "There are many mountains in Xiahe Village, maybe someone keeps bees."

Li Xin's eyes lit up slightly, he hesitated and said, "But I don't know anyone in Xiahe Village."

"When I went there, I met people. I said I wanted to buy honey, and asked if there were any beekeepers who produced honey. If I asked a few more people, I would be sure to find them. If I couldn't ask, there probably would be no beekeepers." Guan Wen He took Li Xin's hand and said, "It's fine if there is no beekeeper. What about the beekeeping you mentioned, what if you accidentally get stung by a bee?"

Li Xin pursed her mouth and said, "It's not as serious as you said, and you haven't raised it before. Besides, bees only collect honey. If you don't provoke bees, bees will sting you for no reason? That's a wasp, not a bee. "

Guan Wen smiled good-naturedly: "You are all right, I can't say no to you. If you really want to make a living in this business, I will accompany you to Xiahe Village to ask questions when I have time."

The couple came back from the river beach talking and laughing. In the afternoon, Li Xin and Amei fed the rabbits and chickens as usual. I feel much better too.

But she herself was also worried, while thinking that the head of the family should quickly find her mother's house to find her, and at the same time, she felt comfortable staying in her mother's house and didn't want to go back to her husband's house to serve those old and young ones.

There was some melancholy on his face.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting down the slope: "Ah Wen is not at home!"

Erhei "crashed" and ran to the slope, and yelled loudly towards the lower side of the slope.As soon as it gets dark in spring, it becomes more and more lively, scurrying around, and it is rarely seen during the day, but at night it knows to come back to its nest.

It is getting bigger and bigger now, its mouth can reach under Li Xin's chest when it stands up, and its body is longer.Guan Wen made a kennel for it again.Sometimes just looking at Erhei's face looks a bit like a bear.

But when it plays with Yang'er, it knows how to measure, and it never hurts Yang'er, even when Yang'er occasionally rides on its back for a while, it doesn't resist.I don't know what kind of evil dog this is, but it seems to be extremely psychic.

When Erhei yelled, the voice on the slope became weaker by two points.A-he looked at Li Xin, Li Xin called Erhei to let him go back, and he replied, "It's the father-in-law, come up."

"You tie up your dog!" It was Guan Ming who came.

Guan Ming roared, and vaguely heard him complaining, as if he was saying something like "I'm not familiar with raising a dog".

Li Xin didn't care, seeing Guan Ming's head raised his head, he said directly: "Dad, did you get A-mei's gengtie and horoscope? Ah Wen is not here, he went to the stone field, you just give it to me."

"What is it? I haven't nodded in agreement yet!"

Guan Ming snorted unceremoniously, and was about to go to the main room swaggeringly.

Erhei yelled at him threateningly.

Li Xin frowned, originally he didn't want Guan Ming to enter the house, but after thinking about it, let it go, as long as Amei's marriage doesn't go wrong, just put up with him this time.

When Guan Ming got closer, he saw Ahe sitting by the doorpost.

He frowned immediately, and said displeasedly, "Why are you back?"

A'He took a breath and said: "It's not going well in my in-law's house, so I'll come back to my mother's house, dad, you don't need to drive me away, and I didn't go to your place, I can't eat or drink for you."

"Look at your mouth! If you talk like that at your in-law's house, it's no wonder your father-in-law and mother-in-law care about you!" Guan Ming immediately opened his mouth, then looked at the timid big girl and second girl, and said: The kids are all brought back, so it’s no wonder that your father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t care about you, who made you give birth to a loser..."

"Father!" Ahe's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of crying: "In your eyes, girls are losers, so let men have babies from now on!"

"Damn! Women are meant to give birth to babies!" Guan Ming scolded Ah He and said, "You fool, you have learned to talk back when I tell you a few words? You don't know how to talk back with sharp teeth Who learned it!"

A'He turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Guan Ming anymore.

The eldest girl and the second girl hugged each other in fright. The two pink and jade-carved female dolls looked so cute and cute, but they were really afraid of their own grandpa.

Li Xin looked at Guan Ming coldly, and when he was about to step up the stairs, he suddenly said, "Papa, wait!"

Guan Wen turned his head and said displeasedly, "What are you yelling at?"

"Father said that girls are losers?"

"That's no nonsense." Guan Ming snorted, "Who is willing to have girls instead of boys?"

"That's true..." Li Xin said with a smile, and suddenly said with a cold face: "In this case, then Axiu and sister are the 'losing money' born by your father-in-law, and it's their turn to get married , Dad, are you going to 'lose money'?"

Guan Ming was speechless for a moment, and Li Xin pointed at the slope and said, "Father, please go back. My younger sister's horoscope and geng post are here to stay. I know her marriage and help her figure it out. I don't need you, father-in-law." "Losing money", shouldn't the father-in-law happily throw away the marriage of sister-in-law to me? Daughter-in-law, this will save you trouble!"

The last sentence was so loud that Guan Ming's ears hurt.

It took Guan Ming a long time to react, and he said cursingly, "Awen's wife, what do you mean? I can't control my own daughter's marriage!"

"I didn't care about it before, father-in-law, why are you joining in the fun at this time? My sister separated from Awen and me, and you can't control her marriage affairs, father-in-law! So what if you are her father? What! You want to care Okay, you prepare all the dowry for sister-in-law yourself, don’t be afraid of gossip if the preparation is thin, the dowry of a dignified scholar’s ​​family is only a thin leather box when she gets married, I don’t believe you can carry it out!”

Guan Ming rolled his eyes, and before he could speak, Li Xin continued: "Don't think about turning a 'loser' into a 'money tree', I still remember the last time I sold Axiu as a maid! If Mr. Xiucai's sister is sold, the whole village will point fingers at you and scold you, believe it or not!"

Guan Ming retreated steadily, his face suddenly turned into a liver color.

With a "snap", Guan Ming kicked the small bench next to his feet, and shouted at Li Xin: "I don't believe it anymore, I don't care about my own daughter's marriage anymore! What can you do to me!"

Li Xin was trembling with anger, OK, threaten her with this?Do you really think you can threaten her?

"You can hold it, can it make money or grow food? You can hold it!" Li Xin shook his hand fiercely: "Don't believe me if you say you have a brain problem. My sister's name is hung on Awen The household registration here is on the record, and there is a record at the yamen. When you get married, you will go to your husband's house. The household registration is issued from us. Do you really think that I will scare you if you keep the horoscope? To accuse you of contempt of the imperial court is enough for you to drink a few pots!"

Guan Ming immediately cursed: "You vicious bitch, believe it or not, I will let you go out of the house!"

"What's the matter, dad?"

There was a lot of noise here, but Guan Wen came back from the stone field. Seeing this scene from a distance, his face was not very good-looking, not to mention that the volume of Guan Ming and Li Xin was not low, and he listened to it. made it clear.

Guan Wen walked to the yard, then frowned and said to Guan Ming, "Father, didn't I tell you last time, telling you not to come to the new house, and don't say some stupid things, do you think I'm lying?"
