Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 11 Set fire to the house
Nanmenyue saw that the old woman was silent, thinking that she was worried about the house, she leaned towards the old woman, putting her shoulders regardless of size.

"This honorable lady, don't worry about the house, I will help you take care of it."

Mrs. Zhuang didn't have the heart to joke with her, so she gave her a sideways look, and hurried forward to bring water to the old man.

Before he had gone far, he saw the old man leaning on a tree branch leaning on him leaning towards him, probably because he was worried about Qi Ying'er, so he chased after him.

Mrs. Zhuang saw him walking forward in pain, her heart skipped a beat, she quickened her pace to meet him, shouting as she ran, "Old man, stand still, Ying'er and his mother are back."

Hearing the shout, old man Qi raised his head, and seeing Nanmenyue leading Qi Yinger and following the old woman here, his heart sank.

Mrs. Zhuang approached, and handed him the sip of water in the pocket of the leaf, "Drink it quickly." Seeing the old man's head was covered with cold sweat, she raised her sleeve in distress to help him wipe it off.

Nanmenyue guessed that the old man must be chasing Qi Yinger, she gave Qi Yinger a look to hint, and the little guy went to apologize to the old man sensiblely.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Ying'er didn't listen to you and left without permission. Ying'er should be spanked." He slapped his own butt twice with his backhand.

The cute gesture made the three of them laugh, and the haze of being expelled from the house was swept away.

Taking advantage of the gap, Mrs. Zhuang rushed to the front and pushed the trolley that was pushing the old man over, "Come on, the old man quickly get on the scooter."

Mr. Qi felt that he couldn't let this injury drag down his family any longer, and he had to recover quickly. He didn't refuse, and just lay down on the scooter just like when he came.

"Father, mother, don't worry, we will go back and take the house back."

Master Qi shook his head when he heard this. The Yu family's daughter-in-law dared to ask people to throw him on the mountain with great fanfare, which meant that Old Man Yu had already spent money to go to the government to change the name of the land deed. Now it is not so easy to get this house back.

"Before it's dark, hurry up and find a place to stay, you won't be able to go home." The sadness in Mr. Qi's tone made people feel sad.

Nanmenyue is not a reckless woman, although she doesn't know what happened, but once Mr. Qi said this, the house is really hopeless.

"I just went to fetch water. There is a dilapidated wooden house. Why don't you just stay there overnight." Mrs. Zhuang said.

Since he can't go home, he can't go back to the village and be laughed at by others. If he goes to the county town, he has to be a beggar. Why don't he be a savage in the mountains?

Nanmenyue nodded, agreeing, she was an environmental geologist before she traveled here, and eating and sleeping in the open was commonplace for her.

Mr. Qi's silence was a tacit consent. Now that he has lost his family's house, how can he be picky.

Mrs. Zhuang picked up Qi Yinger and led the way, and Nanmenyue pushed the old man to follow behind.

After bypassing the mountain just now, I could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing through the mountain.

After listening to the sound of the water, Mrs. Zhuang went down the mountain to search for the bushes. There are dense bushes growing under the towering trees. There is no way to go. She can only follow the sound of the water all the way down.

Nanmenyue saw that the cart could not be pushed down at all, so she bent down to carry Mr. Qi on her back. Seeing that the sun was going to the west, she had to choose the destination for tonight before sunset. Dinner is not settled yet.

Mrs. Zhuang also realized this, she threw Qi Yinger to Nanmenyue, and pushed her away from the cart, "Get out of the way, I will carry my man by myself." She worked hard for a long time, and carried her back A skinny old man still has strength.

Nanmenyue laughed straight at the old woman's domineering answer, the two elders in the family were simply living treasures, she no longer struggled, picked up Qi Yinger and walked ahead to open the way.

The terrain was quite steep, and both of them walked cautiously.Going straight along the mountain road, the terrain gradually became flat, and then stepped out of the bushes at a faster pace, and suddenly saw a bright view.

Withered and yellow weeds spread all over the ground.A big river flows by the edge of the grass, cutting the two mountains apart. The clear river reflects the blue sky and white clouds in the afternoon, which is very beautiful.

The log cabin Mrs. Zhuang mentioned stands at the foot of the mountain. The log cabin is not big. It looks like a temporary resting place for hunters or loggers. It looks very lonely at the foot of the mountain alone.

Nanmenyue approached the house, hurriedly put Qi Yinger down, cleared an open space, and put Master Qi down to rest.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to clean up, pushed open the precarious small wooden door and walked in. The floor of the house was also paved with a layer of wooden boards, because the roof had been leaked, and the wooden boards began to corrode after being exposed to the wind and sun, and the musty smell was particularly strong. With a light step on the wooden block, it was dented.

Nanmenyue asked the old woman to break some branches, while she removed all the corroded wooden planks on the floor. The wooden planks were tightly connected, and no grass grew on the covered ground. After spreading the branches, she would be able to sleep all night.

After tidying up the wooden house, spread the branches folded by the old woman to one end, there is also a place to lie down tonight, and after helping the old man into the house, Nanmenyue went to the mountain to bring back a bundle of dry firewood. It's cold at night, and I don't know any strange birds and animals, so I still light a fire to rest assured.

After resettling the family members, Nanmenyue told them to stay here quietly, and she had to go home to get things. The newly bought rice and lard at home couldn't be cheaper than that shrew Zhou.

Mrs. Zhuang wanted to follow, but she was worried about the old and the young, so she had to tell Nanmenyue to be careful, and let her not forget the old man's medicine.

Nanmen Yue nodded again and again, returned to the road along the mountain road, pushed the cart along the same way, hurried all the way, and when they reached the village, the sun had already set.

The door of the house was not locked, and Mrs. Zhou didn't come back after being beaten. The old man of Yu's family went to a neighboring county to purchase piglets.

Nanmenyue pushed the cart into the house, put food, supplies, the old man's medicine, and the carpenter's tool bag on the cart, piled them up high, tied them with cloth strips, and found a The lanterns are lit, and it's time to return.

Before leaving, I lit a fire and lit the sawdust in the yard. The weather was dry, and the sawdust ignited quickly when it touched the sparks. It immediately burned the straw around the wall. The fire was so fierce that it seemed that it would be out of control.

Taking advantage of the fire, Nanmenyue pushed the cart out the door. She wanted to see how the Zhou family penned pigs in the burnt rubble.
