Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 93
After Mrs. Wang came to her house, before it was even close, she heard the high-pitched cursing, which was repeated time and time again.

Occasionally, Chen Baisheng's scolding voice was mixed in, but it was obviously a little powerless.Before he could finish his voice, someone was booing and shouting.

"You fucking took advantage of the benefits. You are comfortable, but this group of us are forced to sell the land at a low price and endure hardships. Chen Baisheng, let me tell you, if you come up with an explanation today, we But they can directly request to get rid of a village chief like you who is not in charge."

Li Kongzhu who was approaching raised his eyebrows when he heard that, but Wang's face turned dark immediately.

"Chen Shuanzi, you fucking talk like fart, you don't have teeth, right! When did my family take advantage of it? At the time when I was in charge, I just thought that it was useless, and I just wanted to give each family a little bit of savings. It’s better than being idle year after year. Why? Seeing that Miao’er is alive now, I want to turn my face and deny it? At the beginning, when people fought, you groups were so idle. Tooth stuff, who doesn't say that people are crazy?!"

Wang yelled unconvinced, causing a group of people outside to turn their heads quickly.

When they saw Li Kongzhu standing aside, they all glared and hated.

The person named Chen Shuanzi was about to speak, but the woman next to him, Xiao Wang, jumped up and said, "It's as if your family is so innocent, you are a dead woman who follows people's buttocks all day long, you Will the seedlings survive if we don’t know? Is there any benefit? At the beginning, we were able to push forward so aggressively that we sold the land in less than two days?”

"Hmph! Now I'm pretending to be innocent. We were so comfortable when we paid money back then!"

"You bloody bitch, what the hell are you talking about again?!" Wang Shi was anxious, rolling up his sleeves and pointing at her nose, like that, if she said one more word, she was going to fight her .

After all, Xiao Wang dared to scold her, but she didn't dare to move her hands. After grunting, she rolled her eyes and said, "I've done everything and I'm afraid people will say it?"

"You~" Mrs. Wang was a little dumb, and felt that she was really wronged.

If she knew that Miao'er could live, would she be able to do this?Not trying to help them.

Now all the heartless people dare to wrong her so much, how can she not be angry?While exasperating, I feel that Li Kongzhu is also deliberately taking advantage of their family.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help looking away at Li Kongzhu, who hadn't changed much.

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and my face darkened, "Zhao Laosan's family, since you are here, please explain to others!"

Li Kongzhu was surprised, knowing that Zhao Laosan shouted this sentence, he was probably complaining in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, since I'm here, I will make it clear."

"How can I make it clear that the land deed has been cheated by you now, and no one dares to snatch it away after you talk nonsense. At that time, you will have a big face, and even the patriarch will be able to give face, and let it go How do we people live?"

"No, at first I thought she was being bullied by the other two families of the Zhao family, and felt pitiful, but now it seems that she is not worthy of our pity at all!"

"That's right, bah! Bitch!"

Everyone saw that she still had the face to laugh, and you were not angry, and I cursed one after another.

Those men are not easy to scold, but they are also gesticulating their fists with the intention of beating someone.

Li Kongzhu squeezed forward with a smile, bowed to Chen Baisheng and said, "Uncle! I really didn't know that I would cause you such a big trouble, just like I didn't know that Miaoer could live at the beginning, but it was just to try." After a few days of observation, we saw nothing changed, so we prepared to find another way and bought the one from this place. But now that the branch is alive, it is of course better, after all, after this Even the village can benefit for a long time!"

"Bah! You bastard is bragging here! Deli? That's what the fuck did it for you!"

As soon as the people below heard her words, they felt that she was dodging on purpose and scolded her for being shameless and fraudulent.

Even if Li Kongzhu had selfish intentions to buy the peach grove at the beginning, it was because he didn't have so much money. He originally wanted to make compensation in the peach grove in the future.

Unexpectedly, it still aroused public outrage. If this is the case...

She immediately took out the title deed. "This land contract is here. Although it was given to Rong Cheng, the head of the land has not changed. If each family really wants to go back, please buy it back with silver taels. I don't want much. How much did you pay at the beginning?" If you sell it to me, you can redeem as much as you want!"

As she said that, she turned around and said to Chen Baisheng: "Uncle, I will trouble you to make a few more trips then! Divide this land deed into the original one!"

When everyone heard her words, they still couldn't believe it, "How can you have such a kind heart?"

"That's what you said!" Li Kongzhu looked back and raised his eyebrows, and chuckled, "I came here with a contract, is it a lie? Although I love money, I don't want to be wronged by this. Back then, the uncle and aunt really I don’t know that the bud can live, and I didn’t expect it myself. Now that I’m alive, I’m naturally happy. If you want this land, just take it, and I’ll buy another mountain to support it. Why bother to give it to me? Are you an enemy?"

After everyone listened, they looked at each other, although Ya'er could survive, but they didn't know how to pick it up.

They made a fuss just because they wanted more money.

Look at how big the mountain is, if it is really a good fruit, why don't you have to hire the villagers to help pick the fruit when the fruit is ripe?

Some people don't want to redeem it, but they hesitate to sell it at a low price because they can't pass the cut.Li Kongzhu had handed over the title deed to Chen Baisheng.

"Uncle, you look right?!"

Chen Baisheng nodded and took it, feeling a little uncomfortable.

As the head of the village, I don't say how good I am, but at least I have never been greedy, and I have always been thinking about the village.Unexpectedly, because of an uncertain matter, they let them sell the land, and now they can't see it anymore, and they are looking for him to make trouble again.

These people are really chilling!

Thinking of this, Chen Baisheng grimaced and said, "I'll go through the old land accounts in a while and help write them one by one. They just need to take the money to redeem them."

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu smiled, "It's better to get the money back before it's hot today. Sister Hui Niang and I bought a field and planted hawthorns, but we can try to get it again." Going up the hawthorn tree is just paying another 50 taels and buying a few branches back. With precedents, this time it is much easier!"

"Suck~" Everyone gasped in shock when they heard that she bought a few peach branches with 50 taels.

Seeing that she explained that Bai'er had repaid her innocence, Mrs. Wang calmed down.

Hearing this, he was also shocked, "50 taels? The sesame oil you donated last time was 50 taels?"

At that time, she only heard her grandson say that there was a lot of money in the purse, and she thought she might get ten taels, but she never thought that she would spend 50 taels.

This, this, what a big brain to spend this wrong money!

"You, you..." Wang's tongue was tied up, not knowing what to say to her.

Li Kongzhu smiled softly, "Auntie, I know you feel sorry for me and it's not easy for me to earn money. Those peaches are not ordinary. In the future, I don't want to sell the little ones. I'm exhausted, and I can't make money. two."

Still can't earn two?

50 taels, most people can't save it for a lifetime, she actually said no two?
Everyone's eyes are changing.

Li Diaozhu didn't care about it, he just lowered his head and whispered a few words to Wang Shi.

Then he smiled and wanted to leave home.

Seeing that she was about to leave like this, everyone hurriedly yelled to stop her, "Well, Mr. Zhao's family..."

Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Mrs. Wang shouted loudly, "Why! Now you want to please others again? It's a pity that people still don't like it. Didn't you say that my family has taken advantage of it? In this case , just take the money to redeem the land!"

Li Kongzhu, who turned to leave, also nodded in agreement, "Auntie said yes. I definitely have no reason to ask for a second time. For fear of trouble in the future, I'd better go to a farther place to plant!"

"Don't! That Zhao Laosan's house..."

Li Kongzhu stopped them with a wave of his hand, smiled and said: "Farewell!" After finishing speaking, he really raised his feet and walked towards the surrounding circle.

Seeing this, everyone wanted to hurry up and grab her hand.

Wang, who didn't want to lean there, stretched out her hand to block her, and shouted loudly while protecting her: "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Why, now that you can't get Yin, do you want to improve? I Let me tell you, although my old man can no longer be the head of the village, he can still take care of things now. Who wants to cause trouble? Come on, come out and chat, let me see, who else can be so cheeky go."

Li Kongzhu laughed in his heart, but nodded in agreement on his face and said, "Auntie is right!"

The big guy was scolded so embarrassingly that he didn't dare to answer back, and some fawning ones even laughed and said, "Auntie, aren't we just joking!"

"Just joking! Hmph!" Mrs. Wang pushed them to send Li Diaozhu out, and then said: "Then we can't afford it. If any villager dares to tell the head of the village, it must be a joke." The old nose is so sophisticated, we can't afford to offend him."

Saying that, he quickly winked at Li Kongzhu.Seeing this, Li Diaozhu turned around and hurried towards his house.

"Hey~~" There were still people shouting behind me not to leave.

But Mrs. Wang directly stuck in her waist and refused to let it go, "Don't make a fuss, the mother is back, come and claim it. The man is handed over to me to be in charge, and we don't want to take the blame again... ..."

Hearing the voices of people getting farther and farther away, Li Kongzhu didn't feel any pity to lose ground.

Because she knew that those people didn't know how to bridge, and didn't know how to organize and pollinate in the later stage. If the land was returned to them, it would be just a piece of wasteland.

There is also the peach branch, but there is a huge amount of more than 50 taels lying there. Unless these people say that she went crazy a while ago, no one is willing to take this risk at all.

Now all she has to wait for is to go home and wait slowly for Mrs. Wang to reply with good news.

Mrs. Zhang hid behind the poplar tree and watched her disappearing figure, and then looked at the noisy crowd at Chen Baisheng's place.

After thinking for a while, the drooping eyes quickly dodged and headed home.

Open the door and enter the hospital, the courtyard is full of noise.

Although the current Zheng family is divorced, she still looks like a woman who has not divorced.Domineeringly occupying the big room, either beating the two sons fiercely all day long, or yelling at the cheap guy next door when he is upset.

No, when Mrs. Zhang came back, she was sewing and scolding Zhao Niqiu again.

"It's a lazy thing to make all day long, but now you can't even get back the copper coins. What's the use of raising a white-eyed wolf like you? It's a waste of food, why don't you hurry up and pick up the chicken manure!"

Zhao Niqiu was scolded so that he lowered his head, blowing his nose and walking towards the chicken coop with a wooden face.

If his father didn't let him go to the third aunt's house again, he wouldn't want to stay in this house at all.The mother who was divorced beat and scolded him all day long, but now all the housework is on him.

Mrs. Zhang turned her eyes away from them, and walked towards her west room calmly.

Mrs. Zheng, who was finishing scolding over there, saw it, and immediately spat out, "Bitch!"

After that incident last time, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that she was being used as a gun by these two couples.

Thinking about that incident, I couldn't help but think of that bitch next door.The third child has disappeared for such a long time, and she has never believed that she can still live so happily?Some people believe such nonsense about breaking into business in Fucheng?

Mrs. Zheng groaned, thinking that maybe that bitch really did what she said, and got involved with someone.

"Bah! God-sent thing, let's do it! It's best to make it so that people can catch it and soak it in a pig cage."

She gloated and scolded, but Mrs. Zhang looked at her through the window sill, and felt that she was still as stupid as a pig.

Now the house over there is being repaired, and the peach branches and peach branches on the top of the mountain have also been successfully erected.In addition to the mountainous land that is being noisy today, in her opinion, she will definitely get it.

This is about to do a big business, not thinking about how to resolve the current embarrassment, but still fantasizing about where to go?
I don't know why, how can it be so easy to handle over there now?

I thought they were not too offended by the incident last time, but who would have thought that the next day after that incident, the patriarch let the children of the two families not go there again, saying that they had to wait. When the age is up, the clan will urge there to fulfill the promise.

This sounds nice, but there is only one girl in their family, what did they use to make it happen?

Mrs. Zhang looked back at her man who was laying his corpse on the kang, since he recovered from his injury, he didn't do anything else.Even the job of raising rice seedlings was done by her, an old woman, begging to have sex with a neighbor's family.

"Are you planning to eat the kang for the rest of your life? The wounds are healed, and there are still corpses lying around? Now that it's spring, whose family is so busy that they hit the back of their heads? The family has to raise chickens and catch pigs. Are you Do you want me to be an old woman exhausted to death?"

Zhao Yinsheng, who was holding a pillow, gave her a different look, "Aren't I just thinking of a way to get rich? With that way, I still worry about being tired? With money, who doesn't buy two long-term workers for use?"

"Rich? Let's make your mother's spring and autumn dream!" Mrs. Zhang was almost laughed at by his words, and did nothing. How can someone who spends all day on the kang be rich?

Walked over angrily and lifted his handle, "Get up, I changed my clothes, I'll wash them."

Zhao Yinsheng was not angry when he was turned over and scolded, he just got up and took off his coat, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Dream? What dream am I dreaming? I really want to turn my back on it. I have to return the two acres of land, and now the buds are sprouting. Believe it or not, if I make her anxious, I will let her have no buds?"

"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Zhang said coldly, "Do you still want to make trouble?"

"I don't want to!" Zhao Yinsheng laughed, "It's just for fun, who can have trouble with money."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Zhang looked at him suspiciously, but he laughed again, "What are you busy with? Haven't you seen the harvest yet?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned pensively when she heard this, and when she didn't look at him, she saw greed slipping through his eyes.

After snorting, he tidied up the dirty clothes without any reason, and went out the door.

When Li Kongzhu rang, he chopped out the celery that he dug up, and mixed the minced pork belly with the stuffing.Roll out the dough and start to make round and fat dumplings.

Now that the weather is warm, there is no need for her to pick up Li Jingzhe, looking at the sky, it is almost time to go home.

Seeing this, she hastened her hands and feet to wrap up the last few pieces, and then started to boil the pot on the outside pot.

The dumplings were about to be put into the pot, and Li Jingzhe over there just came back and called the door outside.

When Li Kongzhu went to open the gate of the courtyard, he was surprised to see that Zhao Mengzi followed him.

"Brother Mengzi is here too, please come in quickly."

Zhao Mengzi scratched his head and smiled, and said that he should not go in.He greeted her about the work on the construction site, "Well, the house can be erected. My mother asked a fortune-teller to do the math. They said that it will be an auspicious day in three days. It is best to let the beams be erected on that day. Mother thought about it, and asked me to say hello to my sister-in-law, and asked if I want to go to the beam on the same day?"

After hearing this, Li Kongzhu smiled and said: "We're on the top of the beam so soon! I've been guarding the mountain for the past two days, and I haven't checked the progress for a few days. I haven't thanked Mengzi for his help. By the way, the wages are not good. Is there any left?"

Ever since the peach branches sprouted, she had to go up the mountain every day to watch them all the time, fearing that someone who didn't have long-sighted eyes would get jealous and grab her buds.Therefore, when the house was built, she asked Mrs. Wang and Zhao Mengzi to take a look at it, and she also handed over all the money to Zhao Mengzi for the daily wages.

"There is still one hanging left, and it can be released for another day. Since the auspicious day is three days away, I am thinking about taking another two days off."

Li Kongzhu saw that he looked around again after asking, so he smiled, "Why don't I go up to the beam two days later, brother Mengzi, you go up first."

Zhao Mengzi's face froze for a moment, thinking that his mother asked him to say something nice when he came here, and wanted to restore the friendship between the two families.

Obviously, she also felt that she had done a little too much a while ago, and now that the peach branch has sprouted, she began to persuade her daughter-in-law to come over again.

However, my daughter-in-law refused from time to time because she was angry, she was not feeling well, and she wanted to come by herself, but she couldn't save face.

Zhao Mengzi scratched his head there, a little embarrassed, but felt that he should say something.

Seeing this, Li Kongzhu smiled sullenly, "Don't care about that. Mai Ya'er and I have a friendship there. After three days, I won't be able to get on the beam. A letter came from my natal family, and my sister is getting engaged. Have engagement wine."

"That's it!" Zhao Mengzi breathed out, and then said: "Then I'll go back and talk to my mother..."

"That's not necessary, let's go to each other!" Li Kongzhu cut off his words. She wanted to make the mat harder, but she was afraid that she would provoke Lin's anger again. If the money is paid together, she will pay a lot more from less.

In order to avoid it, it is better to separate.

Seeing this, Zhao Mengzi had no choice but to nod his head and say he understood, and left home.

Li Diaozhu closed the courtyard door, and Li Jingzhe, who came back from the other side, was already calling her there with dumplings, "Eldest sister, hurry up, I'm so hungry."

"coming!"

After Li Jingzhe in the room put down the dumplings, he added vinegar to them, and talked about his second sister's engagement in two days. A few days ago, he routinely returned home once every seven days.

Mother told him this time, telling him to invite the eldest sister to support the noodles.It is said that the most respectable person in the family now belongs to the elder sister. If she does not go, I am afraid that they will not be able to support them in front of their in-laws and lose their position.As he spoke, he even shed tears.

Thinking that after my brother-in-law left, my mother would ask where my brother-in-law went when I went home several times.

At the beginning, he would follow what his elder sister told him, saying that he was running around in Fucheng.But now seeing his mother getting more and more anxious, he still couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, especially when she was crying while talking that day, he was taken aback by surprise.

You know, when she cried, she held his hands and cried for half an hour.

When he came back, he told his eldest sister about the situation.The eldest sister's reaction at the time was also very light, and she only said that it was nothing serious, since she was asked to go, she would go and have a look that day.

"Should I go that day?"

"If you want to go, please take a leave of absence from your husband!" Li Kongzhu, dipped in vinegar, ate bright wild vegetable dumplings, and felt that they tasted good. After swallowing them, he picked up two more. .

Li Jingzhe didn't want to delay her studies, but her second sister had to go to the engagement wine. After thinking about it, she nodded and said that she would ask her husband for leave tomorrow.

Seeing him like that, Li Kongzhu thought about the engagement wine the day after tomorrow, maybe it wouldn't taste so good.

On the day of Li Meilan's engagement, Li Kongzhu didn't go early.

Instead, after searching the mountain for a few laps, he came back and greeted Wang, asking her to help look at the mountain.

Mrs. Wang agreed, and then told her about the land, "It's been a few days, and no one came to redeem it. They urged them to come to redeem it, and they all said good things and said they didn't want to redeem it."

Li Kongzhu shook his head amusedly, thought for a while and said: "Then auntie, please help me to send a message! If you don't redeem it, I will take it back. If they have no objection, let the time pass." Write a guarantee, so that each of them must press their fingerprints. Don’t wait for me to pick up another job in the next year and make trouble again. In that case, I have the right to sue.”

Mrs. Wang nodded when she heard this, "Don't worry about it, my old man has already thought about it. He's chilled this time, but he's not so easy to talk about. Just leave it to us."

"That's fine! I will remember my aunt's favor about this matter."

"What's the matter!" Wang's eyes sparkled with a smile.

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and smiled, followed her to leave home.

At home, Li Jingzhe had already changed her clothes. Seeing her come back, she asked if she could leave.

Li Kongzhu looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon, so he nodded, took two boxes of sealed gifts, and led him to the village to ask Uncle Zhao to rent an ox cart and send them there. Go to Lijia Village.

When we arrived at Li's house, it was the time of Xiangwu. At that time, the man's house had already passed the engagement ceremony, and some people were sitting in the room, preparing to have a banquet.

Hearing their calls, Hao Shi didn't care about accompanying the guests, and ran out of the room in a hurry.

When he saw them, the circles of his eyes turned red, "Here we come! Quick, come in!"

Li Kongzhu looked at her calmly, and when he called Li Jingzhe to hand her the gift box, he saw her stretching her neck and looking out, "Son-in-law, haven't you returned yet?"

"No way!"

In the next second, she saw her face froze, "Did you two quarrel?" If there was a quarrel, then Zhao Junyi didn't want her anymore, so what about the poison on their bodies?

"Who knows!" Li Kongzhu shrugged his shoulders, raised his feet and walked towards the house.

Hao Shi's eyes widened when he heard that, and he pulled Li Jingzhe who was also following, making him deliberately lag two steps behind and asked, "Did your eldest sister quarrel with your brother-in-law? Where did your brother-in-law go? "She heard from Lan'er that with Zhao Junyi's skills, he is either a knight-errant or a wanted criminal, or a spy from another country or something.

If this is the case, then the poison on their bodies is probably true.

How can this be done?Although there is nothing to do on weekdays, it is poison after all, what if it breaks out one day.

Li Jingzhe was a little annoyed, frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you earlier? My brother-in-law is wandering around in Fucheng."

"You son of a bitch!" Seeing that he was impatient, Hao couldn't help but pat him on the head, "Your mother and I are so anxious, why are you so perfunctory?"

"I'm not perfunctory!" Li Jingzhe asked her puzzled, "Mother, why are you in a hurry, my brother-in-law and eldest sister are fine!"

"Can I not be in a hurry!"

Seeing that she was about to talk again, Li Kongzhu, who had already reached the steps over there, called out to her, "Mother, Jing Zhe, what are you two doing? Why are you standing there and not leaving!"

"coming!"

After Li Jingzhe threw the gift box to his mother, she ran towards her sister.

The two came up the steps, but Zhu Ziniang, who was helping in the house, followed.

After seeing Jing Zhe, Zhu Zi happily came over to say hello to him, and Jing Zhe also replied happily.Afterwards, the two chatted like that without caring.

Zhu Ziniang came out and patted her son, "Your cousin is back, why don't you say hello?"

"Lord sister!" The photographed Zhu Zi shrank his neck, and quickly called out in the next second.

Li Kongzhu nodded with a smile, seeing him in his thirteen and fourteenth year, he was almost half a head taller than her.Thinking that he was the one who carried it on his back when he got married years ago, he said a little embarrassedly: "I forgot to remember some greetings!"

"Hey, how old is he, what kind of gift do you need?" Zhu Ziniang pulled her into the house quickly, looked away from her sister-in-law who was slow behind her, and couldn't help reminding: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and fry the meat and vegetables!" Come out! Since everyone is here, let's start the table quickly."

"coming!"

Hearing this, Hao Shi suppressed the panic in his heart for a while, and came over with big strides.

A group of people entered the house with each other.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the room was full of strangers except for Li Erlin who came to help entertain him.

There are both men and women, and the most conspicuous ones are the middle-aged man sitting at the top, holding airs, and the pink-faced youth with delicate features.

Li Kongzhu guessed the relationship between the two.

Seeing this, Zhu Ziniang whispered in her ear: "The one holding it is the uncle of the future in-laws, and the one next to it is the little brother of the Ren family. These are all from over there to give the betrothal gift."

Li Kongzhu nodded and saluted them, the group of people over there were also looking her up and down.

After Li Kongzhu smiled back at everyone, he turned to his mother and said, "I'll go see my second sister."

"Go, go! Let's start the banquet later, let's set up your mother's room in the east room." Zhu Ziniang understood from the side, ignored Hao Shi who hadn't recovered yet, and waved her to let her go quickly.

After Li Kongzhu nodded, he walked towards Li Meilan's boudoir.
