Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 27
When Huang Xingwang’s matchmaker came to beg for money, fennel and platycodon were clipping the feathers from the chicken’s wings. The half-grown chicken was full of energy, had just grown feathers, and had a light body. It flew into the vegetable garden every day to eat vegetables, and even They also flew to the roofs and planed worms in the sheep grass of the thatched house to eat, and the house was planed to leak the rain. There was no way to cut the bellflowers and fennels.

The two of them took a lot of effort to hold the chicks in the empty baskets, grabbed them out one by one and cut them, and only three or five were cut. When they saw the matchmaker coming in, they said to Fennel in a low voice. : "Sister, Matchmaker Zhang is here."

Fennel, whose back was facing the door, understood, and coughed violently while clipping the chicken feathers.

After seeing it, Matchmaker Zhang was even more certain that Fennel really had tuberculosis.So he covered his mouth with a handkerchief in distaste, and entered the room around fennel from a distance.

Today, Jugeng’s father went to the field alone, and Mrs. Fang sat on the kang to make cotton clothes for Dashan and Ershan. When she saw Matchmaker Zhang, she thought she was here to set a date, and said with a smile on her face, "Her Madam Zhang is here, hurry up." Sit down, why are you here? If you set a date, you can’t do it today, because Fenix’s father is not at home.”

Matchmaker Zhang looked around with her mouth curled up, she wouldn't even touch the clothes in the room, let alone sit down.

She carefully kept a certain distance from Fang Shi, fanned her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Don't sit down, I'll leave after a few words."

Fang saw that her face was not right, and asked cautiously: "Why is her aunt so polite, what are you afraid of when you sit down, you have something to say."

Matchmaker Zhang slapped her nose with her handkerchief again, and said, "Master Huang asked me to tell you that this marriage has failed, you return the dowry money, and we will find someone else!"

"Ah?" Fang was in a daze for a while, and said, "This marriage is well established, why did it go so far?"

Matchmaker Zhang squinted her eyes angrily, and said: "What is good? Have you lived well? Seeing that the girl is sick, she immediately wanted to send her to Huang's house, and she even wanted to exchange a sick girl for the young master's money. How can you do that?" How daring!"

Fang was stunned at the time, and asked, "What's wrong with my daughter? My fennel is very good. You can eat it if you can do it. There's nothing wrong with it."

When she finished speaking, the fennel outside the house coughed again at the right time.

Matchmaker Zhang pointed outwards, squinted her eyes and said, "You still said it's okay, what are you coughing for?!"

"That's because of the wind and cold, headache and brain fever, who hasn't had it..."

"Bah!" Before she finished speaking, Zhang Matchmaker spat over and said, "The cough is a cold?! Your last man also coughed, so why didn't he catch a cold?! Hmph, your girl has become a tuberculosis ghost!" , and still want to go to Huang's house, why are you so calm!"

"Consumption ghost!" Fang's face turned pale immediately, and she asked in horror: "Who said fennel got consumption? Impossible, it is absolutely impossible, it is not like her to suffer from consumption!"

"Impossible shit! Now everyone in the village knows that your Fennel is also suffering from tuberculosis, who do you want to hide! Hurry up and return the betrothal money of Young Master Huang, I have to go to work! Give it to your family Introducing the marriage, not to mention not getting any benefits, and being scolded by Young Master Huang, I am so unlucky!"

"Everyone in the village knows, why don't I know? Who made this rumor? Tell me clearly, and I'll settle the score with him!"

"Master Huang heard about it from Lao Li's family, but it seems to be from Widow Yao's mouth. Whichever you want to settle accounts with, return the money to me first. Your daughter, Master Huang, will definitely not Just marry again, the Huang family has a great career, you don't want to swallow another big son!"

Seeing that this marriage was already settled, Fang had no choice but to take out the dowry money in a squeamish manner.

Before she could send it over, Matchmaker Zhang snatched it up, covered it with a handkerchief, pinched her nose and ran out of the yard quickly.

The quarrel in the house spread loudly and lowly to the yard. After listening to the general idea, Jujiao and Fennel saw Matchmaker Zhang running away with the money, they covered their mouths and snickered, Fenix ​​said: "San Er, your method really works." , the marriage is really bad!"

Kikyo said in a low voice: "It's just that this one is dirty, and the next one may be even more difficult. Maybe my sister won't be able to marry for the rest of her life because of this rumor."

Fenix ​​said nonchalantly: "If you can't get married, then don't marry. What's the good of being married? Look at our mother, who gave birth to a few of us. Apart from suffering and being beaten by my father, what's left? Even death They all died so badly, I don’t want to be like him, this is good, I just raise you guys at home, when you guys are all over, and the eldest sister is old, just give the eldest sister a bite to eat.”

Kikyo was heartbroken by what she said, her tears didn't fall, and she said: "Sister, what are you talking about, you will definitely marry a good family in the future, and some are good husbands who know pain and heat, and eldest sister will enjoy a lifetime of happiness in the future. "

Fennel looked at her and pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Well, fine, you can do whatever you want, anyway, it's better than marrying Huang Xingwang as a concubine..."

The two were talking, but Fang came out of the house angrily, with a face as green as a black pot, came up to the two, pointed at Fennel and shouted: "You damn girl, why are you coughing if you have nothing to do! Have a good one The family marriage is overwhelmed, don't hesitate to marry off, and point out who will raise you!"

Fennel and Campanulaceae squatted on the ground and looked at her in astonishment. Fang's marriage these days, although she was not gentle with her sisters, she didn't say anything directly, but after the marriage ended, she suddenly seemed to be a different person. of.

After Fang finished scolding Fennel, she gave Bellflower a hard look, and then rushed out of the yard angrily and walked westward in small steps.

Kikyo squatted there, still holding a chicken in his hand, and said blankly: "This woman is not mad with anger, she looks like she is going to bite someone."

Fen Xiang's face drooped, and she said, "Look, the stepmother is really different from the mother-in-law. She wants to kick me out so much that she doesn't even want to confess my stutter."

Kikyo said angrily: "Hmph, why didn't she want to confess? Why didn't she say that she dragged two oil bottles by herself? The elder sister was busy from morning to night for this family every day, what did she do, she just cared about her two Hey, shouldn't dad offer her son!"

Fennel sighed, and said, "Oh, forget it, she can say whatever she likes, I don't take it to heart anyway, it's just that she is so angry, what is she doing, as if she is going to fight someone."

Jijiao vaguely heard matchmaker Zhang say "Widow Yao" just now, and suddenly thought that the Fang family must have gone to Yao Jinfang's house, right?
Thinking about how difficult it was for her to put it in the eldest sister's hand, she said, "No, I have to go and see..."

After speaking, he ran out in a hurry.

Fennel hadn't thought about what was going on with Bai, she was taken aback for a moment and then said to herself: "This girl, why is she like peppercorns, crazy..."

Then he lowered his head and squeezed with his body, laboriously continuing to cut the chicken wings.
