The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 34 The Widow Sun

Yao Yu looked up, saw pheasants, hares, and many wild animals, "Did you go to the mountains?"

"Well, after I filled the jar with crabs, I went to the mountain." Xie Zhimo then asked, "Is that enough? Do you want to catch some more?"

"No need." Yao Yu made rice at noon, and was going to let Xie Zhimo and Nuo'er taste the bald butter. If it was delicious, he would make another jar and save it for the New Year.

Xie Zhimo put the wild things aside and asked Yao Yu for advice, "How to deal with these things?"

"Take it and sell it in the town." There is no shortage of meat at home, and there is really no such condition for storing it, so Yao Yu thinks it's best to sell all these things right now.

Xie Zhimo also had the same idea. If you really want to eat, then go to the mountains to hunt. The further you go in winter, the easier it is to hunt these things. "Then I will go to the town now."

"Don't worry, I've made lunch and I'll go after eating," Yao Yu said.

"Okay." Since his legs recovered, Xie Zhimo also wanted to make some money quickly, so he couldn't wait.

"You sit down first, I have something to discuss with you." Yao Yu pointed to the stool beside him.

Xie Zhimo tensed up instantly, "What's the matter?"

"Nuoer will be four years old after the new year. Have you ever thought about sending Nuoer to the village school?" Yao Yu asked. In the previous life, the dolls started kindergarten at the age of three. I know her, but I don't know how to teach Nuo'er, besides, she really can't do it with her handwriting.

Xie Zhimo really didn't think about it, "There is a village school in Shangyao Village around here, I'll ask when I come back from the town in the afternoon?" Xie Zhiwen used to study in that village school, it's been a few years, I don't know if there is any Variety.

"Okay." Yao Yu felt that learning should start from an early age, and he didn't expect Nuo'er to be the number one in the exam in the future, as long as he had no problem with basic literacy.

During lunch, Yao Yu asked Nuoer, "Nuoer, do you want to study?"

Nuoer was eating big mouthfuls. The bald butter made by his mother was really delicious, not worse than rice crust. Hearing Yao Yu's question, Nuoer put the bowl on the table, her eyes wide open. "Mom, can I go to study?" Since he can remember, he has remembered Xie Zhiwen. His fourth uncle is respected for his reading. Later, he saw the precious book of his fourth uncle and touched it secretly. For this reason, Mrs. Liu He also beat him up, for fear that he would destroy the book, but in fact he was just curious.

"Yes, but the premise is that you want to go." If Nuo'er really didn't want to study, then there was no need to go to the village school so early, and it would be fine to learn some basic characters when she was older.

"I want to go!" Nuo'er said categorically. Liu often said that in the future, the Xie family can only rely on Xie Zhiwen who is an educated person, and he also wants to be a reliable person.

"Okay, Zhimo, then you can go and find out in the afternoon." Seeing that Nuoer was willing to go, Yao Yu was relieved.

Xie Zhimo is a reliable person. After selling the wild things, he went to Shangyao Village. When he came back, he told Yao Yu excitedly, "I went to the village school in Shangyao Village, and it was Master Li. I told him Nuoer He said that after the new year, you can come to attend lectures first, and if you can, you can accept it. Xie Zhiwen Shuxiu used to be [-] yuan, but I thought about Nuoer’s and gave [-] yuan.” Let’s talk about Nuoer’s new year As a child, ordinary village schools really don't want to accept them.

Yao Yu nodded, taking a few taels of silver all at once might cause some bad things, "I'll send some meat over then."

"That's no problem. I'll go to the mountains to hunt some wild animals in advance." The two quickly settled on Nuo'er's matter.

Xie Zhimo took out five hundred copper coins from his body, "This is what I earned from selling prey today, you keep it."

Yao Yu shook his head, "You take it yourself, it's convenient for any expenses you usually have."

Xie Zhimo didn't do it, took Yao Yu's hand and passed the copper coin over, "Although I don't earn as much as you now, I will work hard to make money in the future so that you can live a better life."

Yao Yu thought it was funny, but she still put away the copper plate. Anyway, it's the same to ask her to get it when she needs to use it in the future. Besides, Xie Zhimo also knows where the money is kept at home.

Xie Zhimo went to the mountains to hunt early every day, and then sent the prey he caught to the town to sell. He also earned several hundred renminbi a day.

Yao Yu prepares three meals a day, and then stays at home.

"Yu'er, I found it!" Xie Zhimo shouted from afar.

Yao Yu was cooking lunch, curiously looking at Xie Zhimo who ran over excitedly, "What did you find?"

"It's that rumor!" Xie Zhimo gasped, "The one who said you had a concubine."

Yao Yu almost forgot about it, but now that Xie Zhimo mentioned it, she was a little curious, who made such rumors against her, "Oh, who said that?"

"It's the Widow Sun in the south of the village." Xie Zhimo said.

Yao Yu thought for a while before remembering who it was. The first time she met this Widow Sun was on the bullock cart returning from Hehua Town. At that time, Widow Sun wanted to see the things in her basket, but Aunt Wu stopped her, "I It seems that I didn't offend her." Yao Yu said helplessly.

"A person like this just eats too much to support himself." Xie Zhimo said coldly, "Don't worry, I'll take note of this matter."

Yao Yu doesn't care, the villagers have long forgotten about it for so long, besides, Luo Zi never appeared in Shuangshui Village again, so the rumors are self-defeating, "It's rare to see the sun today. Take the quilt out to dry in the sun."

"Okay." No matter what Yao Yu asked, Xie Zhimo always agreed.

While drying the quilt, Yao Yu also moved a bench and sat in the yard basking in the sun. Such days are really pleasant. Just after Yao Yu sighed, he heard a knock on the door, "Who is it?" Yao Yu got up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Zhou rushed in aggressively, "Mr. Yao, why do you tell others about the fish sale?"

Yao Yu looked at the Zhou family as if he was looking at a mental patient. The brain circuits of the Xie family were different from normal people. "Do you have any opinions?"

"Yes! Do you know how much money we earn less!" Zhou asked angrily, "You want to compensate us!"

"Oh? Then I sold it for ten cents a catty, so how do you calculate the cost you caused us to lose!" Yao Yu asked. Everyone in the Xie family has the same pattern, and they value money more than life.

"That's your own bad luck!" Zhou said.

"Tsk tsk, then it's your bad luck now." Yao Yu choked directly, "Besides, since I discovered this method first, why can't I tell others? Don't you feel ashamed at all for stealing other people's methods?"

Mrs. Zhou really didn't feel guilty at all, "The fish in the river belong to everyone, anyone can catch them if they want!"

"Isn't that enough? The fish in the river belong to everyone, so you are only allowed to catch them, and others are not allowed to catch them?" Yao Yu asked rhetorically.

"That's different. It's not easy for us to earn some money. Besides, we still have to support the pillars and the plugs." Zhou stretched out his hand, "I don't care, you will lose us anyway."

"It's not easy for you to make money, is it easy for us? When Xie Zhimo was injured, we didn't have any money. Did you say to give us a penny at that time?" Yao Yu asked word by word.

Zhou said with certainty, "But you are rich now."

"So, seeing that we have money, you came here to extort money, didn't you?" Yao Yu pointed to the door, "You must not know what happened to Mrs. Liu when he came here last time. If you don't leave, I don't mind letting you try it too. .”

Seeing that Yao Yu didn't give the money, Mrs. Zhou burst into tears. Yao Yu was really tired of this kind of routine. He went into the kitchen, took a kitchen knife and rushed out, "It's useless to cry here. You see Are there any villagers?"

"So, even if I killed you today, no one would find out. Back then, you said you let the brothers cut me one by one. Do you want to taste what it's like?" Yao Yu raised the kitchen knife and pointed at Zhou ran over.

Seeing that Yao Yu didn't seem to be joking, Mrs. Zhou was frightened and ran away.Yao Yu closed the door and snorted coldly, it's no fun to be so casual.

"Yu'er, I'm back." Yao Yu just sat down, and Xie Zhimo came back, "I just saw Da." After a pause, Xie Zhimo changed his words, "Zhou Shi is running fast, as if something is chasing her."

Yao Yu glanced at Xie Zhimo, and told him about Zhou's coming here just now, Xie Zhimo's face immediately changed, "I never thought that the most honest Xie Zhicai of the Xie family would be such a person."

Yao Yu had already guessed that Mrs. Zhou was the one who sold fish for eight cents a catty, so she wasn't too surprised, but she couldn't figure out how Mrs. Zhou was so cheeky to ask for compensation.

After a while, something suddenly came out in the village, whether it was big or small. It was said that the widow sun in the south of the village had committed adultery and was caught upright. Drive out of Shuangshui Village.

In this regard, most people in the village think that Widow Sun deserves it. It is said that many villagers have been seduced by her, and some people feel that she is pitiful, alone, and what to do when she is driven away.

But Yao Yu guessed that this incident must have something to do with Xie Zhimo, but Xie Zhimo didn't say anything, and Yao Yu didn't bother to ask.

"Would you like to go to town this afternoon?" Xie Zhimo hunted a lot of wild animals again today. Recently, Yao Yu has been nesting at home. Xie Zhimo is really afraid that she will get sick.

"Okay, take Nuo'er with you." Yao Yu said, seeing that the twelfth lunar month was about to enter, it was time to prepare a lot of things for the New Year.

This is the second time for Nuoer to go to the town, but the temperature is really low now, and sitting in a bullock cart is really not enjoyable. Yao Yu decided in her heart that she must earn more money next year to sell a carriage, so as not to lose weight. It will be cold.

When approaching Hehua Town, Xie Zhimo suddenly said, "Oxcarts are not allowed to enter the town now, they can only be kept outside."

Yao Yu didn't understand. When he reached the east gate of Hehua Town, Yao Yu looked at the crowd and wondered, "Why are there so many people!"
