Chapter 27: A King's Heart Is Like a Battle Drum!
If his little daughter-in-law knew that this incident was so beyond her expectations because he fueled the flames on a whim, she would probably bite him a few times before giving up.

Dong Rong seemed to feel something, her small mouth pursed in dissatisfaction, the light pink and moist color was very confusing in the dark night.Silly Zhu's eyes became darker and darker, he was silent for a long time and finally forced himself to close his eyes, but the beating sound in his chest was comparable to a war drum, urging endlessly...

On the same dark night, there was a candle in the backyard of a cloth shop in the commercial street of the county seat.During the day, the old shopkeeper who insisted on sending Niu to the county government office was pinching a piece of letter paper and was lost in thought. The old man really couldn't figure out why his boss, who only saw each other at the end of the year, suddenly sent a letter asking him to embarrass him. Rustic fool.Could it be that the boss has some connection with this woman, or has this stupid woman offended the boss?

It's a pity that despite all his speculations, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to put it aside in the end.He has no ambiguity, as long as he wholeheartedly manages the business for his boss, obeys his boss' orders, and after a few years he will return home to die, and his boss will definitely not treat him poorly.

Thinking in this way, the old shopkeeper completely threw away his hands, held up the letter paper and lit it on the candle, and finally cleaned up the remaining scraps of paper before falling asleep.

After a long time, in the darkness of the eaves outside the window, a figure turned over without a sound, flew away stepping on the ridge of the roof...

Another two days passed, and finally it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Dong Rong took her younger brother and Dong Ping to step on the grass outside the yard early in the morning, and then each ate two steamed zongzi made of snow-white japonica rice. It's over.

It is said that New Year's Eve is easy, but ordinary life is difficult.Wealthy people will think of some tricks to celebrate the festival, but farmers have to be busy all the time to fill their stomachs, so they don't think the festival is too important, it's just a good meal for the occasion.

Sister-in-law Liu and others also came to work early as usual, and Dong Rong brought a clay pot full of zongzi and invited everyone to taste her handicraft.Everyone praised a few words while eating, and at the end they wentssiped about the Chen Family Orchard because no one cared about it, Master Chen lowered the price again and again, and even sold it with ten acres of Susukida and a small pond at the foot of the mountain. You can buy it for 150 taels of silver.

Dong Rong felt that the time was right, so she got up early the next day and saw the light rain falling, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a few boxes of ice. After carefully explaining a few words to Dong Ping and Wang Lu, she took the pillars and went back to Yipianpo together.

The trees and crops in the mountains and fields are more lush and vibrant because of the nourishment of the drizzle.Dong Rong was wearing a water-green dress that Du Juan's sister-in-law made for her last night, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, walking through the field path with a smile on her face, as if blending into the green mountains and green waters from a distance Average, very elegant and fresh.

Beside the path, occasionally a few little frogs that had just evolved from tadpoles were startled by her footsteps and jumped into the ditch, splashing countless water.It made her giggle loudly, crisp and cheerful.The silly column not far behind her was wearing a big bamboo hat. Seeing this, for no reason, he felt extremely happy in his heart, and the doting look in his eyes became more intense.

As a result, all the frogs near the road ahead were unlucky.Regardless of whether they are sleeping peacefully or chatting and gossiping, they will be startled by a stone flying from nowhere, jumping around and running away non-stop.

Just like that, on the outskirts where the drizzle was falling, the woman's laughter and the frog's complaints accompanied her all the way...

The young couple soon arrived outside the village, but the more they walked, the more they felt a little strange.Originally, the naughty boys in the village liked this kind of light rain the most. If they used to, they would gather under the big willow tree at the head of the village, laughing and pulling the branches, and then watched a little friend who was running slowly being drowned.But today there is nothing under the big willow trees, and even the village is quiet, and people in the village have all run away.

The two quickly arrived at the street where Cao's house was located with such doubts, but as soon as they turned the corner, they understood everything.

The front of the Cao’s house was crowded with people, men, women and children from all over the village gathered here, standing in groups of three or four and pointing at the Cao’s courtyard, while those naughty boys climbed up the wall, laughing and clapping from time to time. Start shouting something.

Dong Rong frowned, rushed to the front and grabbed a little daughter-in-law whom she was familiar with and asked, "Plum Blossom, what's going on?"

The little daughter-in-law turned her head and saw Dong Rong, smiled awkwardly, and replied hesitantly, "My daughter-in-law Zhuzi, why are you back? Well, your mother and that Aunt Cao, well, are wrestling in... !"

"Haha." Without waiting for Dong Rong to ask again, the people next to him laughed when they heard the little daughter-in-law's words.An older aunt pointed to the yard and said, "Sister Rong, don't listen to Meihua's nonsense, go in and have a look, your old lady is calling." After she finished speaking, she yelled at the neighbors around, "Everyone! Get out of the way, Sister Rong and Zhuzi are back."

Dong Rong and Sha Zhu hurried through the crowd, and when they got closer, Cao's courtyard was already a small battlefield.Niu and Mrs. Cao scolded and wrestled together.It was originally light rain and the ground was extremely muddy. The two of them inevitably rolled into clay figurines.On the other side, Elder Sister Cao was also having a lively fight with a pair of sons and daughters of the Dong family. Second Sister Cao was running around in a hurry, as if she wanted to come forward to persuade the fight but didn't know how to start.

Dong Juan and Dong Yi have been listening to their mother talking about Mrs. Cao for causing the family to lose money in the past few days, and they are worried that their mother will blame them for their timidity back then, and they have lost love since then, so today they are in danger of being punished by their father. The old lady came to kill me.But the two were pampered and raised on weekdays. Where is the "battle-tested" elder sister Cao's opponent, either one was slapped or the other was kicked. Just when I was regretting, I happened to see Dong Rong standing at the door. They were so happy that they felt as if they had seen a savior, and they shouted loudly, "Sister, come and help us, we are going to be beaten to death."

Dong Rong sneered in her heart, living under the same roof for more than ten years, and this is the first time hearing them call her sister today, which is extremely ironic.She deliberately ignored the two of them and felt that it was not easy to leave a cold impression on the villagers in full view, but if she stepped forward to help, Sister Cao would not stop after she suffered a loss.

Just when she was in trouble, old man Cao, who went fishing to replenish the health of his youngest daughter, and Dong Xiucai, who went to meet friends in the city, came back almost at the same time.People in the village also felt that it was not good to watch the excitement anymore, and they all pretended to persuade the fight. This one said, "Oh, Mrs. Dong, please stop, we are all in-laws, so we can't say anything properly."

That one also said, "That's right, that's right, you don't look at others, you also look at the faces of Zhu Zi and Sister Rong."

Old man Cao glanced at the messy courtyard, the muddy old woman, and the little daughter whose face was pale and trying to hold back tears. Her face was as dark as ink, and even a wimpy man couldn't stand being beaten up. Family, not to mention his Cao family has some face in the village.

Master Dong looked at Niu Shi who was riding on Mrs. Cao and slapped vigorously, and was so ashamed and annoyed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground immediately.In the past few days, he clearly told her not to come and cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble after he left for less than an hour.

He endured the blushing, and quickly apologized to old man Cao with a big salute, "Dear family, please don't be angry, it's all because of my evil wife, I will definitely explain this to my mother in law."

Old man Cao was impatient, but it was always difficult to show him face, so he gritted his molars and said, "I'll talk about this later, Mr. Dong, let your mother-in-law stop, or my family will be killed tomorrow." There's a funeral."

Dong Xiucai's face turned even redder when he heard this, and he forgot that his mother-in-law was still showing off her prestige in a moment of impatience, so he quickly trotted forward and pulled Niu Shi directly, cursing in a low voice, "You prodigal mother-in-law, don't stop!"

Niu Shi was playing happily, when suddenly seeing his master appearing, he felt guilty, got up and replied, "Master...Master, why are you here?"

Dong Xiucai still wanted to answer, but Granny Cao, who didn't want to finally stand up and be liberated, seized the opportunity and directly grabbed two handfuls of mud, and dumped the couple with a black face.

The villagers who were watching the excitement couldn't hold back, they all laughed loudly.Dong Xiucai wiped off the mud that had a strong smell of chicken manure on his face, suppressed his nausea and said with a smile, "Don't be annoyed, mother-in-law, let's get up and talk first."

Mrs. Cao is not a person who doesn't resist after suffering a loss. Don't get up when she hears this, but rolls in the mud even more, "Oh, everyone, come and see, the Dong family is really a bully. Our Cao There is no way out for the family..."

Dong Xiucai had the heart to apologize again, but he really didn't have experience in dealing with shrews, so he had to bow his hands and apologize.

Dong Rong didn't want to be caught in the middle and make life difficult, so she persuaded Second Sister Cao, who seemed about to faint at any moment, to go back to the wing.Old man Cao glanced at his son with a cold face, finally gritted his teeth and pulled the old woman and eldest daughter back to the main room, and closed the door with a bang, obviously unwilling to pay any attention to the Dong family.

Dong Xiucai rushed forward and wanted to say a few more words, but his nose was almost flattened by the door panel.He also understood that today's matter was a bit difficult, and seeing the faces of many neighbors watching the show, he could only drag Victor's wife and children out of the yard angrily, and went straight to his house.

Dong Rong persuaded Second Sister Cao a few words, and took out the embroidery threads and fabrics bought back in the city, which finally made the little girl look better.By the time she turned out of the wing, the war had ended as expected.

She sighed half rejoicing and half worried. Originally, she wanted to fool her in-laws into allowing her to buy the orchard when she came back this time. It would be best if the orchard should be in her name as a dowry.Now it seems that this matter may be a little difficult to handle.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone in the village dispersed one after another.Silly Zhu closed the courtyard door, turned around to see Dong Rong's sad face, a smile flashed in his eyes, and finally thought about it and shouted, "Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry!"

Dong Rong touched her stomach and felt a little empty, so she put aside her confused mind and replied, "Play by yourself for a while, I'll cook right now."

Silly Zhuhan responded with a smile, and finally saw her walking away and went to the main room.
