Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 361
Chapter 390
There is more than one way out of the mountain.

The section leading to Jinjishan Village is to the north of the intersection, and the Sunjiagou behind it is to the south.In the same way, there are also large and small villages located in the rolling mountains on the east and west sides.

And Liang Yuzhong and the others, leading the horses at the moment, were heading towards the mountain to the west with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

There are many trees in the mountains, and the day is gloomy. At this time, there is no moon or star above the head.The wind blew through the woods, and the smell of vegetation and mud filled the surroundings. In the leeward corner of the dark woods, the flickering lights came from the carriage.

Liang Yuzhong covered Chunhua's eldest son with the two mattresses accompanying the car, and the eldest son was already asleep.The other bed wrapped himself and Cai Qingyang together.

In the small carriage, three people huddled together, the lantern was hung at the entrance of the carriage, iron rods and axes were placed by the side, and Cai Qingyang was carrying a dagger.

There was a humming sound as the wind beat against the carriage from all directions, and there were faint conversations in the carriage.

"It's really a portrait of a son and a father. A ten-year-old son can't even tell which direction his wife's house is going. Thanks to his mother, he still counts on him to lead the way! If it weren't for the protection of the master, I really want to kick him Kick him half to death, useless thing!"

In the carriage, Cai Qingyang stared at the sleepy big boy and said angrily.

Jin Xi thinks of a good way to resolve this crisis, and that is to go to Chunhua's natal family, which is Qinya's real home.

According to Chunhua, her natal family is in a village called 'Mayouji' on the west side of the mountain, and there is a hilly flat hidden between two hills.

Ever since Qinya's grandparents died, Qinya's father also died, and her mother remarried, Chunhua took Qinya to Sunjiagou. In the past few years, that is, every year during Qingming Festival, Chunhua brought Qinya with her family The three boys went back to Ma Youji to visit the grave.

However, Mayouji actually has Chunhua's cousin family, that is, Qinya's cousin.This time Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang were ordered by Jinxi to go to Mayouji to find Qinya's cousin.

Chunhua couldn't get away, so she asked the eldest son of the family to lead the way. This kid has a head made of dough. The scenery in these four places is the same, and there are circles in Sangada.

From the daylight at noon to the evening, Cai Qingyang saw the horse's shit on the road before, and then something went wrong.

Ask the big boy, he was as startled as a grasshopper, Cai Qingyang slapped his hand, and cried out of breath.It was Liang Yuzhong who stopped him, and the two of them pondered for a while before finally finding the right path. Before they had traveled for a while, it was completely dark and they couldn't move any further, so they had to find a place sheltered from the wind. rest.

"According to this situation, we will have to arrive at Sesame Oil Ji tomorrow morning at the earliest, and we will have to talk to Miss Qin Ya's cousin when we arrive at Sesame Oil, at the earliest, we will not be late at the earliest, and we will not be able to return to Sunjiagou until the afternoon of tomorrow. I don't know if it will delay the arrangement of the young lady!" Cai Qingyang depressedly gnawed at the half pancake with green onion and radish noodles that Liang Yuzhong gave him, and said in a low voice.

Liang Yuzhong turned his eyes away from the young man who was still yelling while asleep, smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "We will do our best, and logically there will be no delay. You don't need to scare him anymore, young man. It's a child after all."

"What I'm worried about right now is that we're resting here, deep in the mountains and wild ridges. It's inevitable that some wild beasts will come out to look for food. Don't leave your body with iron sticks and axes, and be more vigilant at night." Liang Yuzhong listened attentively to the movements around him. , told Cai Qingyang.

"Master, squint your eyes and rest your mind. I'm not sleepy. Leave the night watch to me!" Cai Qingyang said earnestly.

"Stupid boy, that's not going to happen. Let's take two rounds. I'll watch in the first half of the night. You should close your eyes and go to sleep. That's it. It'll be fine when the sun rises..."

The night wind continued to howl, sweeping across the mountains and forests, bringing the cries of unknown beasts and birds in the distant mountains, which was particularly frightening in this dark night.

The flickering lights of wind lanterns seeped out from the carriages parked by the side of the road. In this night, they were as faint as a star the size of a sesame seed in the sky...

On such a night, there are many people who have not closed their eyes.Chunhua, Qin Ya, Sun Erhu, Sun's...

The night passed quickly.

At dawn, Sun Yubao brought back a piece of news from Lizheng, which made everyone breathe a little easier.

When Sun Yuxia heard the news, she rushed to Jinxi's bed even more excitedly, and said with joy, "Xi'er, you have such a bad idea to let Qin Ya be hanged to death, it's really a good idea! This time, the whole village will be happy." Everyone is feeling sorry for Qin Ya's side, and they are all helping to speak."

Jin Xi stroked her forehead with her hand, and Sun Yubao continued: "Qin Ya failed to seek death. From yesterday to today, she has been half-conscious. Uncle Lizheng had no choice but to negotiate with Boss Gui due to the attitude of everyone in the village. It is said that Boss Gui and the others have loosened their attitude..."

"Could it be that she promised to use the money for personal gain?" Sun Yuxia asked urgently, now that her money is not as good as before, Jin Xi's thoughts have penetrated into Sun Yuxia's mind.

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, so Sun Yuxia opened her mouth to ask.

Sun Yubao shook his head, "Man, I still have to take her away, but for the sake of losing half of Qinya's life, I promised to let Mrs. Chunhua take care of Qinya for three days. Walk."

"Ah, I've been tossing and tossing, and I can't scare them even if I want to die. I thought they would let go and agree to use the money for personal gain!" Sun Yuxia's joy that had just risen faded away.

"Second Sister, don't be in a hurry, I've already said that Qin Ya's death is just a way for us to delay the attack." Sun Yubao explained with a smile.

Sun Yuxia twitched her lips. She is short-tempered and can't quite understand these things.Turn around and go out to prepare breakfast for the family.

"What the Gui family lacks the most is a daughter-in-law, or someone who wants to die, how can they retreat just because Qin Ya is hanging on the roof beam!" Jin Xi sat on the bedside, drinking tea in small spoonfuls Water, said softly.

Sun and Sun Yubao all looked at Jin Xi, at the main planner of this incident.

"However, if the Gui family can relax for three days, half of our goal will be achieved." Jin Xi raised her eyes and said, although her face was still pale and thin, her spirit had obviously improved a bit.

"Even if the Gui family backs down and promises to use the money for private use, we still can't agree!" She continued.

"If you really agreed to use the money for private use, why can't you agree?" The impatient person was still thinking about the conversation in the room here, stuffed a handful of fluff into the bottom of the millet porridge pot, and turned back , Entered the room and took the puzzled question from Huatou.

"Don't you often say that the problem of money can be spent is not a problem? Now that Zigui's family has promised to ask for money, why do we take Joe again? Then how can we solve this problem!" She asked repeatedly, Sun Shi's expression is the same as Sun Yuxia's, obviously thinking the same way.

Except for Sun Yubao and Mrs. Sun.

"Auntie, our money didn't just flow from the sky, it just fell from the sky." Jin Xi said while looking at Sun Yuxia with a smile.

"To be honest, I was not happy when Granny asked us to prepare money to help Aunt Chunhua's family repay the debt with principal and interest."

Old lady Sun looked at Jinxi in surprise.

"We have a good relationship with Aunt Chunhua and Qinya. Seeing that Qinya and us are about to become a family, it is true that we should help. But after all, this matter was caused by Sun Tiesheng. He not only hurt Aunt Chunhua And Qinya, you have dragged all of us down, asking me to pay for his debts, if I don't do it, you are not allowed to do it either."

Sun Yubao nodded again and again, and said: "I thought the same as you at the time, but at that moment, the big guy's heart was messed up. He only hoped to keep Qin Ya, so he didn't care about money and other things outside of him!"

"Money is something outside of the body, it's true. But we live in this world, dress and eat, except for our own body, what else is it? Ways to gain a foothold in the world!" Jin Xi said with a smile every word.

"So, we can't pick up the money that should be spent, and we can't pick up half of the money that shouldn't be spent!" Jin Xi said.

Sun Yubao nodded again and again, and Mrs. Sun also sighed deeply. The Sun family and sister Sun Yuxia looked at each other. Everyone came from the bitter water. Without money and power, it was difficult for them to move forward.

"Auntie has become a fool, it's not as good as my niece understands, hehe." Sun Yuxia felt the same way, and praised Jinxi with a smile.

Jin Xi generously accepted Sun Yuxia's praise, and continued: "So, I was thinking at the time, I want to find a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only save Qin Ya from the crisis of not marrying, but also make us not married. I was implicated in this matter! Today's plan to slow down the army is only half of this method, this half we got what we wanted, and there is another half, we have to wait for my father and the others to come back to see clearly!"

Everyone knew the purpose of Liang Yuzhong's trip to Mayouji, everyone nodded solemnly, Sun looked at the sky outside, and said worriedly: "Today is still gloomy, and it may rain in the morning, your father and the others will not I don't know where I got it, whether the journey is smooth..."

This day, the sky has been gloomy. When people in Sunjiagou were hiding at home for lunch, a carriage and an ox cart slowly drove into the village from the entrance of the village.

The second boy of the Gui family, who was squatting at the door of the cowshed and setting up a stove to stew porridge with wild vegetables, saw the horse-drawn cart and ox cart passing by from a distance. , but it was full of three or four middle-aged men, followed by five or six young men, each of which was different in height, size, appearance, and loud voice. farmers.

"It's the first month of the lunar year, men also visit relatives and friends like this? Isn't that all about women and children?" The eldest son of the Gui family squatted at the door and muttered, he didn't take it seriously. The rice and bacon scavenged from home, mixed with wild vegetables, have a full meal, and when the stomach is full, I will go to Sun Tiesheng's house at night to beat and beat!
……

With the arrival of those two cars, the small Sunjiagou suddenly boiled.It didn't rain in the afternoon, and the sky was slightly sunny for a while.

The yard of Chunhua's house was full of high stools, and a big Eight Immortals table was placed in the middle, with melon seeds and peanuts placed on the table, which looked like a group tea party.

Most of the stools were borrowed from people in the village, and the melon seeds and peanuts were contributed by Sun Yuxia. The villagers gathered in this small courtyard early after lunch.

After a while, the courtyard was full of people sitting.Although, due to the troubles of people from Qipanling in the past two days, the pigsty in the backyard of Chunhua's house didn't have time to shovel, and the north wind blew, and the unique smell of the pig girl's excrement wafted over from time to time, but still Can't stop the big guy's vigorous burning enthusiasm.

Among them, the raw-faced old man and middle-aged man sitting on the high stools in the middle are the most eye-catching.

"...See that old man sitting at the top? I heard that he is Qinya's great-grandpa, and Chunhua's natal uncle. Earlier, Chunhua and Qinya kowtowed to that old man!"

"I heard that he seems to be about 70 this year, and he has a healthy body. If he is placed in our mountain, he is more than [-], and his bones have already been drummed..."

The women who got together outside the courtyard were discussing and pointing.Some women carried children on their backs, and the children's faces were covered with plateau red from the cold wind in the afternoon, and their noses hung from their mouths.

"...Hey, see the middle-aged man sitting next to the old man? Look at his big nose, is it printed in the same mold as our Qin girl?"

"Let's take a look, let's take a look, hey, it's really the same, I heard it's Qinya Tangbo..."

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the yard, and the women gathered around the door turned their heads to follow the sound, and saw them in Sunjiagou, leading the boss Gui from Qipanling, and the others to rush towards this side. .

The women pointed and stepped aside, and Lizheng led the people from Qipanling into the courtyard. Lizheng probably passed them on the road. These people from Qipanling all looked very ugly. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, the second boy of the Gui family lifted a high stool and kicked it over.

Immediately, among the group of people sitting over there from Sesame Oil Ji, except for Qin Ya's Da Ga Gong and his cousin who were still sitting still, the other men also stood up abruptly, and the two sides immediately started to fight in the yard. There was a tense eye contest...

At Mrs. Sun's house, everyone left. The third and fourth children were carried by Mrs. Sun and Sun Yuxia to watch the excitement, leaving Jinxi, mother and daughter.

In fact, Jin Xi really wanted to go to the scene to see the progress of the matter, but she had a fever the night before and it was windy outside. Even though she was wrapped in the big cloak that Wending gave her, Sun would not let Jin Xi go out.

I had no choice but to lean against the bedside boredly, waiting for Sun Yuxia and Jinrou to pass on the news when they came back.

Mrs. Sun put a chair in front of the bed, and while guarding Jinxi, she used her shoes for sewing, obviously she didn't care about that.

After a while, the hands stopped, looked at Jin Xi and asked: "You said, wouldn't the two sides fight as soon as they met?"

"It's normal to fight, but logically speaking, it won't happen. This is Sunjiagou's territory, and Li Zhengbo and the others are mediating it, but the atmosphere is definitely not friendly." Jin Xi put her hands on the back of her head, Looking at the blue canopy embroidered with white clouds, he smiled faintly.

"Xi'er, how did you get your father to talk about Qin Ya's great grandfather and cousin? Chunhua and I couldn't believe it at first that they could come here to stand up for Qin Ya!" Sun said in surprise .

Qinya's surname is Dong.My real home is Mayouji, a village on a hilly plain two hills away.The village is said to be no different from Jinjishan Village. There is a river passing by the foot of the mountain behind the village.

Qinya's grandparents left early, Qinya's father Chunlin and younger sister Chunhua live together.Chunhua married to Sunjiagou, and Chunlin married a woman from another village, and gave birth to Qinya.

Qin Ya was less than two years old, and her father was bitten by a snake when he went fishing in the river and lost his life.Qin girl was provoked by a man in the village, she didn't stay widowed after all, and was caught by the villagers in the woods with that man.

This incident angered the old Dong's family, and he beat up the man and the girl Qin respectively, and in a fit of anger took back a few acres of land from the girl Qin's family.

Qin girl is also a hot-tempered woman, and she became angry immediately, and she tore up with the Dong family. The Dong family wanted to drive Qin girl out and adopt Qin girl.

In a fit of anger, Qin Yaniang begged Chunhua's family in Sunjiagou, entrusted Qinya to Chunhua's family for foster care, and gave all her dowry to Chunhua's family. Came back with a cart full of futons, tables and chairs.

From then on, Qinya followed Chunhua and grew up in Sunjiagou.Chunhua's natal parents and brothers are gone, so naturally she doesn't go there anymore to visit relatives and friends.It's just that every year during the Qingming Festival, I take Qin Ya and a few boys to Sesame Oil to burn some paper money for my parents and brothers.

"Because of Qin Yaniang's affairs, Chunhua also became estranged from Grandpa Qin Ya's branch, and seldom went to Sesame Oil to give gifts and visits during the holidays. This is why Sun Tiesheng treated her badly later, scolding and beating her. , bullying her without the support of her family..." Sun sighed softly.

"Qinya has followed Chunhua in Sunjiagou all these years, and I have never seen the Dong family from Mayouji come over and take care of it. Why is your father and the others going there suddenly, and the Dong family came all at once? There are so many people?" Mrs. Sun propped her forehead, not understanding this point.

Jin Xi smiled, and said: "There is no escape from a word of profit. This time, I asked Father and Brother Qingyang not only to convey the promise made by Father Sun and Uncle Erhu. As long as it can facilitate the relationship between Erhu Sun and Yaqin, Things, since then, Sun Erhu has regarded sesame oil as Dongyue Taishan, and walks around during the festivals to show respect. In addition, I asked my father and the others to bring generous gifts to show my sincerity."

Anyone can say beautiful words on the lips, but to really move people, the only way is to show real benefits.On one side is the foolish son-in-law of Qipanling, a barren and savage village in the backcountry.

On the one hand, there are sub-shops in the town and the county. Jin Xi believes that the gifts and conditions she asked Liang Yuzhong to bring with her are enough to strengthen the Dong family's strong determination to try their best to keep Sun Erhu, the "golden turtle son in law"!

The mother and daughter were chatting one after another in the house, listening to the movement in the yard outside.Except for the sound of the wind, everything was very quiet.

"I don't know what's going on with what they said over there?" Mrs. Sun stood up, stretched her sore arms, went to the door of the house to look around a few times, and turned back again.

Jin Xi lay lazily on the bed, her head propped up high, her eyes slightly squinted as if she was taking a nap.

In the yard outside, hurried and disorderly footsteps came from the wind, and Sun's voice sounded immediately.

"You're back? What did you say?"

"I know you guys are thinking about it. I was the first to run back after the show over there. Is girl Xi asleep?"

It was Sun Yuxia's crisp and clear voice.

"Wake up, it's windy outside, hurry up and talk in the room." The two of them entered the room while talking, Jin Xi had already opened her eyes, looking this way calmly, with a peaceful smile on her face.

Compared to Sun who stood on tiptoe at the door of the house, Jin Xi looked much calmer, and even had a feeling of winning.

Seeing this, Sun Yuxia stood still in front of the bed and made a special effort to hold her back.

"Xi'er, what do you think of the result?" she asked.

Jin Xi smiled with the corners of her lips turned up, and said: "What else can I do, naturally I will go according to the expected result."

"What's the matter, Yuxia? Tell me, don't play tricks on me, you're going to die of anxiety." Mrs. Sun brought Sun Yuxia a cup of hot tea from behind and urged her.

Sun Yuxia nodded and smiled, and flicked back a glossy black braid hanging on her chest, she sat down beside Jinxi's bed, stroked her hands and said, "The Gui family, dare to use the little piggy to plot against others The daughter of my family is born to be a person who vomits like Sun Tiesheng, this time I really want to go back to the mountain with nothing."

"Really? So, girl Qin doesn't have to go to Qipanling?" Sun only listened and asked what she cared about.

"Sister, Xi'er, it's really a pity that you didn't go there to see and hear it with your own eyes! You don't know that grandpa Qinya, well, it's that old cow-nosed man who speaks like an old cow. Boss and the others are talking nonsense, people only look for one thing, Qinya’s surname is Dong, she is the granddaughter of the Dong family in Mayouji, Sun Tiesheng is a foreign relative, Dong Qinya’s marriage can only be decided by the Dong family!”

Sun Yuxia patted her thigh and talked about the scene vividly by the bed, "At the end, Lao Niubi threw out a piece of yellowed paper on the spot and showed it to everyone, good guy, I don't know what year it was The old almanac, it actually says Qinya and Sun Erhu's engagement on it, good guy, it's also the fingerprints signed by Qinya's ghost father and Erhu's father, as well as Sesame Oil Ji Lizheng's own fingerprints."

Jin Xi couldn't help getting excited, she didn't expect the Dong family to get such a hand, the fake is too realistic, isn't it?

"Boss Gui and the others looked at it, and they were completely dumbfounded. What they and Sun Tiesheng wrote was a debt repayment note, and what they threw out was a marriage contract. The baby kiss they still made was several years ahead of them. Come on, the reasonable one has now become the unreasonable side of the bad guy's marriage, and his momentum has suddenly become short..."
