Chapter 152
The next day, before dawn, Fan Er slammed on the door.

"Lady, wake up and go to town!"

Qiao Wei rubbed her eyes and crawled out of the bed, took a brief wash, casually tied her hair in a bun, picked up two water bags, filled them with water, and brought Fan Er to the entrance of the village to gather.

When she arrived, several people had already surrounded the ox cart.

"Ji Erya is here?"

Li Da, who was harnessing the ox, greeted her, and went to work again to move the things that the villagers gave him to the ox cart.

Qiao Wei's eyes turned around on the bullock cart.

There were two women traveling together in the car, one old and one young. Coincidentally, Qiao Wei had seen both of them.

One is Aunt Li, who made a big fuss at Ji's house a few days ago because of Cuihua'er's affairs, and was later sent away by Ji's mother with a basket of eggs.

The other is Su Li'er, who is Qiao Wei's sister-in-law's deadly rival. Qiao Wei heard more than once from the east yard that her sister-in-law scolded Su Li'er as a vixen and a little rascal.

"Aunt Li, Sister Su." Qiao Wei greeted with a smile.

Aunt Li snorted coldly, glanced at Fan Er beside her, and quickly turned her head away.

Su Li'er was a little more friendly towards her, nodded to her, and glanced at Fan Er who was uneasily shrunk behind Qiao Wei, and asked casually: "It's the Ji family girl, you're going to the town too ?"

"Yeah. I haven't gone out to see it when I grow up so old. I want to go and learn more."

"It's time to see more."

"Yes."

The awkward chat between the two ended here.

Qiao Wei and Fan Er boarded the ox cart and sat on the floor among a pile of boxes.

After Li Da finished moving his things, he drove the ox cart slowly out of the village.

Along the way, Fan Er looked around and twisted like a curious baby.

Aunt Li, who was twisted and sitting across from her, said with a stern face, "Is there a needle in your ass? Can't you sit still!"

Immediately, Fan Er didn't dare to show his anger, his fingers tightly clenched Qiao Wei's sleeve.

This silly boy is usually quite timid, and only when Qiao Wei is being bullied will he jump out to protect her.

Qiao Wei glanced at Aunt Li, did not speak, patted Fan Er's hand comfortingly, and said softly: "I will play with you in the town later, don't be unhappy, huh?"

Fan Er hurriedly nodded.

The lady is the best!

Qiao Wei looked out of the car, and Aozi Village became farther and smaller in her line of sight.

Aozi Village is located [-] miles south of Sanguang Town. The means of transportation in the village are ox carts, mules and donkeys. The journey is slow, and they often have to get up before dawn to go to the town until noon. There are few teahouses and trees along the way. The road is hard, so many people in the village don't like to go out. They stay in their own one-third of an acre of land, and they stay for a lifetime.

Every household in the village grows food, vegetables, and raises poultry in captivity. They are completely self-sufficient, so there is no need to go out.

Li Da, who lives at the entrance of the village, is far-sighted. He visits the town several times a month to sell hand-woven baskets, handkerchief sachets and other small things for the villagers, and also buy some salt, vinegar, pepper and other seasonings. product back.

This time back to town, Qiao Wei certainly didn't do it for fun.

She has her own plans.

Aunt Li and Li Day chatted nonchalantly, and occasionally pulled Su Lier to say a few words: "You think so?"

"Yes, indeed."

This posture seems to be deliberately isolating Qiao Wei.

Fan Er pulled her sleeve timidly, "My lady..."

Aunt Li's voice suddenly raised, "Some people are just so shameless, restless at a young age, flirtatious, and hang out with some dubious men. Such people should have been tied up and soaked in a pig cage long ago! "

After finishing speaking, she habitually brought up Su Lier again, "Little Su, do you think so?"

Qiao Wei glanced at Su Lier amusedly.

Aunt Li's words made Su Li'er's face change slightly.

You know, back then Su Lier fell in love with the eldest brother of the Ji family, but unexpectedly, Ji Qiaowei's current sister-in-law preempted her. Still thinking about the elder brother of the Ji family, this matter has always been a thorn in Su Lier's heart.

Aunt Li's words were tantamount to unintentionally exposing her shortcomings.After all, when it comes to "shameless", the fact that Su Li'er went after Brother Ji back then was much more sensational than Ji Qiaowei and "cousin" going in and out together now.

However, Aunt Li didn't realize what was wrong with what she said, so she gave her a slight push, "Hey, what are you thinking? Are you right?"

Su Li'er didn't reply, Qiao Wei took the lead in responding: "That's right."

Aunt Li didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned that she dared to answer the words, and said sarcastically, "It's no wonder you still understand the truth."

"I understand the truth." Qiao Wei said without humility, and smiled slightly, "If you want me to say, if you are not a little bit of a showman when you are young, don't you want to be a showman when you are old and have no money?"

"You, you..." Aunt Li was so angry that she pointed and pointed, and was speechless for a while.

"Aunt Li, what do you think?" Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows at her provocatively, and grabbed Fan Er's hand to demonstrate.

I have fresh meat, but you don't!

Fan Er's cheeks were red, and he held Qiao Wei's hand back.

The lady is so enthusiastic, she touches him in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.

This kind of thing should be done secretly behind closed doors.

Oops, so shy!

In the end, it was Li Da who realized that the atmosphere behind the car was not right, so he hurriedly interrupted and said, "Don't walk around when you enter the town later, the plague is raging outside, be careful when you get sick."

plague?

These days, this is not the first time Qiao Wei has heard this word.

She asked casually, "Is it the plague from the north?"

"That's right, the imperial court fights every year, and people die when they fight, and plagues are easy to happen when people die, alas..."

When it came to fighting, Aunt Li stopped arguing with Qiao Wei, and complained long and short about the imperial court's damned recruitment system.

The imperial court conscripted soldiers once every five years, and the sons of the Li family had already lost three lives on the battlefield, including the widow Jin Sanniang's deceased husband.

"You can't blame the imperial court either." Su Lier said abruptly. "The Tartars in the north have been making trouble on the border of our country. If the imperial court doesn't organize an army to resist foreign enemies, is it possible that they are still allowed to come in?"

Aunt Li was unhappy when she heard this, she pulled her face and said: "No one in your Su family was killed on the battlefield, so it's a good thing."

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and life and death are common things. According to Aunt Li, it seems that everyone who went to the battlefield will be buried with your Li family?"

"Hey, you little girl, why do you talk like that?"

"I respect you as an elder, I don't want to say more."

"You've talked so much with your mouth, and you still say you don't want to say more? Ha!"

In the blink of an eye, the two women who were originally on the same front became arguing.

 There are 2W words left to explode, update later.
