The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 12 Fungus

"Sister, come quickly." Seeing Yao Yu coming, Wang Fengzhen quickly moved to the side.

Yao Yu squatted down, and when she saw Yao Yu's clothes in the tub, Wang Fengzhen asked in surprise, "Why are there so many clothes?"

Yao Yu briefly told Wang Fengzhen what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Wang Fengzhen was extremely angry, "The whole family is a hungry wolf that eats people without spitting out their bones."

Yao Yu shook his head, these are actually nothing.

"By the way, you just said that you want to buy a lock. My guy is going to town tomorrow, do you need help bringing it?" Wang Fengzhen said.

"Okay!" Yao Yuzheng was worried about how to buy a lock, and someone solved it, "Then I will thank Brother Li first."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Fengzhen and Yao Yu went back after washing their clothes.

Yao Yu dried the clothes and sheets, and found the door was closed, and there was a thumping sound from inside the room. He pushed the door and went in. Xie Zhimo woke up in shock and turned around. Seeing that it was Yao Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You are back, come and see .”

Yao Yu walked over to have a look, he was talking about how he heard the sound of ding-dong before entering the house just now, it turned out that Xie Zhimo was chiseling the wall.

Xie Zhimo stuffed the bricks into the hole, "I made a secret compartment, and I will hide the money here in the future, so no one will find it." His tone was rather smug.

After stuffing the bricks in, it is really hard to see that there will be a grid here, Yao Yu was overjoyed, "You are so smart."

Xie Zhimo hadn't been praised so much by a woman before, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Yao Yu suddenly thought about the lock, "By the way, Sister Fengzhen said that brother Li will go to town tomorrow, so she can help bring the lock back."

Xie Zhimo nodded, "That's fine." Originally, he planned to go to the town by himself if he really couldn't do it.

"I'll go into the mountain again in the afternoon, and you bring Nuoer at home," Yao Yu said.

Nuo'er wanted to follow, Yao Yu said, "Would Nuo'er and Daddy guard our home together?"

Nuo'er thought about the scene yesterday, and then nodded, "I will definitely guard the house with my father."

Xie Zhimo kept one movement in order to make a hidden space in the morning, only then did he realize that his legs were no longer feeling, "Well then, be more careful by yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm only going to the middle of the mountain." Yao Yu took the bamboo basket and prepared to go up the mountain.

In fact, there are only a few kinds of wild vegetables that are ripe in this season, Yao Yu wants to pick some more as a spare, and pick some cold water to go back by the way.The basket was full after a while, and Xie Zhi acquiesced because he thought that Yao Yu was a woman with little strength, so the basket was not too big.In fact, Yao Yu's body is very strong, at least twice as big as his previous life, which may have something to do with his physique.

Yao Yu was about to go back home, when he turned around, he suddenly found a dark object. Yao Yu walked in and looked, and his eyes were full of surprise.Isn't the black, small, and round one the fungus?

It's no wonder that I went up the mountain so many times and didn't find out that the environment where the fungus grows likes shade. If it weren't for the cold water, I wouldn't have come to this place.

Yao Yu picked a lot of fungus excitedly, and suddenly found that the basket couldn't fit, so he had to turn the lid over and put the fungus on it, and Yao Yu didn't stop until the lid was full.

On the way down the mountain, Yao Yu was in a good mood, and after a while, he met a villager, "Thanks to the three families, what did you pick, so happy."

Before Yao Yu could answer, the man's expression changed, "Big girl, you can't eat this thing!"

Yao Yu blinked, why can't the fungus be eaten.

Seeing Yao Yu's appearance, the man thought that Yao Yu didn't understand, "Big sister, listen to me, this food is really not edible, it's poisonous."

Yao Yu nodded, "Thank you, I see."

After meeting several people in a row, they all told Yao Yu with surprised expressions that the fungus can’t be eaten. Yao Yu had no choice but to take out some wild vegetables and cover them on the fungus. After returning home, Yao Yu put the wild vegetables together and poured cold water on them. Seven was placed in another pile.

When Xie Zhimo came to help, he saw the fungus in the basket. Seeing that Xie Zhimo was looking at the fungus, Yao Yu hurriedly said, "This thing can be eaten, trust me."

Xie Zhimo smiled softly, "I know." Not only can this food be eaten, but there are also many mushrooms that can be eaten in the mountains.

"It would be great if there were condiments." Yao Yu whispered, taking a small part of the fungus and soaking it in water.

Nuo'er saw something black and asked curiously, "Mother, what is this?"

"This is called fungus, shall we eat this at night?" Yao Yu thought that she had to find some way to earn money, otherwise the whole family would not be able to eat meat. Fortunately, she and Xie Zhimo said that Nuo'er was growing up, but needed to eat OK.

"Good!" For Nuo'er, as long as there is food, it is good.

One fungus was stir-fried, and one fungus was mixed with cold, but the taste was slightly different. Yao Yu sighed again, even if there is oil, it is good.

People in the village didn't know fungus could be eaten, so Yao Yu thought about picking more fungus, got up together in the morning, went straight to the place yesterday, and picked a basket full of fungus.

As soon as he entered Xie's courtyard, he saw Mrs. Liu looking at Yao Yu with an unhappy face, "Where are you going?"

Yao Yu had already broken up with Xie's family. She glanced at Mrs. Liu, but didn't reply, and walked around Mrs. Liu to go directly into the house.Mrs. Liu went to pull Yao Yu's basket, but Yao Yu nimbly dodged it. Yao Yu snorted coldly and entered the room, "Hmph."

Mrs. Liu started cursing in an instant in the room, and it took half an hour to stop cursing.

After Yao Yu put away the fungus, she heard someone calling herself. When she walked out the door, she saw that it was Sister Fengzhen, "Sister Fengzhen."

Wang Fengzhen took out a lock, "My guy brought it back, see if you can use it."

"Yes." The lock is not too big or too small, just suitable for their door, "How much is it?"

Wang Fengzhen said with some embarrassment, "Ten copper coins."

"Sister Fengzhen, wait for me." Yao Yu took out twelve copper coins.

"It's too much." Wang Fengzhen said that she didn't want the extra two copper coins.

Yao Yu forced the copper plate into Wang Fengzhen's hands. "Sister Fengzhen, we have troubled you so many times. If you don't accept it, I will feel very sorry. Besides, when I go to town, the round-trip fee for the ox cart will cost eight copper coins. It took advantage." Xie Zhimo said the cost of the bullock cart, the two had already discussed it, and they wanted to give Feng Zhen and the others two more copper coins.

Seeing that Yao Yu insisted on this, Wang Fengzhen had no choice but to accept it, but she felt that Yao Yu was a good person in her heart, "That's right." Wang Fengzhen walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around, "Recently, the village is talking about how the Xie family abused the third house. ?”

"Huh?" Yao Yu was taken aback, "I don't know, but we're fine."

"It's fine." Wang Fengzhen went back.

The rumors in the village were always unreliable, so Yao Yu didn't take it seriously, and continued to go up the mountain to pick fungus when he had time.

"Have you heard about the Xie family?"

Yao Yu heard that the people in front seemed to be talking about the Xie family, so she deliberately slowed down. Although she didn't gossip, she was talking about the Xie family.

"The Xie family is really nothing. They abused the youngest like this."

Hey, have they been abused? Yao Yu became even more curious.

"It's not because Xie Lao San can't make money for them."

"Hey, this is going to kill someone, the Xie family really has a dark conscience."

"That's right, let people go to the mountains to cook some poisonous vegetables."

Yao Yu chuckled, the villagers' ideas were really unconstrained, just because she picked fungus, they said that Xie's family abused Xie Laosan, but then again, Xie's family did abuse Xie Laosan, so Yao Yu didn't intend to explain this.

It's just that Yao Yu obviously underestimated the speed of the rumors. When she returned home, she heard Liu yelling at the door of the house again, "You are heartless, and you allow people outside to say that about the Xie family? Are you not the Xie family? "

Mrs. Liu had enough scolding, and when she saw Yao Yu when she turned her head, she came up angrily again, "You are an unfilial son, my old lady spent nine taels of silver to marry you a daughter-in-law, look at what you have become now .”

"If you can't go on, get out!" Shi Liu pointed at Yao Yu, "You bastard, since you came in, nothing good has happened to our Xie family."

"My mother is not being kind when she says that. It is because of me that Zhimo came back alive." Yao Yu said, "After all, you thought Zhimo was dead before." Yao Yu emphasized the word death.

"Bah, it's better to be dead. What's the difference between him being dead and what he's doing now." Liu scolded.

Yao Yu frowned, and his tone turned bad, "You still have to keep some morals when you are a human being."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was even more terrified, and started crying when she ran outside the door, "Oh, what crime did I do, a broom star came to my house."

Mrs. Liu howled and cried, "I don't think this family can survive anymore. They dare to bully me, an old man."

"I'm talking about Mrs. Liu, you won't be afraid of being stabbed in the back when you say this." A passing human said, "You don't go to see what Xie Sanjia eats."

"That's right, black conscience, how much money Xie San made for you back then."

"Now people don't give money when they are sick."

Seeing that none of the passers-by helped her, Mrs. Liu went back to the yard angrily, and closed the door, "Are both of them blind? Why are we treating the third child badly?"

"What's better?" Yao Yu has never seen someone who opened his eyes and talked nonsense to this extent.

"Isn't that good! It costs nine taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law!" Liu put her hips on her hips and began to curse, "Xie Zhimo, do you have a conscience?"

Yao Yu rolled her eyes, went straight into the room, and closed the door, which was simply unreasonable for someone like Mrs. Liu.
