Chapter 47
Soon, the night was getting dark, and everyone left one after another.

Before going out, each of Xiaomi stuffed another thing into their hands, and smiled softly, "This is to subsidize the sisters-in-law, I don't care how to use it. I don't know if others ask!"

Everyone was puzzled, but the night was dark, so they didn't have time to investigate carefully, so they found out that it was actually a bunch of copper coins by the dim oil lamp at home.

Count it, there are a hundred.

The men who had already fallen asleep were woken up and asked vaguely, "Why aren't you asleep yet? But Xiaomi asked you to help with work again?"

"No," the little daughter-in-law hurriedly hid the string of copper coins in a dark place, and replied with a smile, "The rabbits of Xiaomi have been sold, and each of us shared a piece of material with us to make new clothes."

"Just sell it, go to sleep."

"it is good."

The little daughter-in-law quickly hid the copper coins in the box, lay on the kang and quietly calculated, and took the copper coins with her when she returned to her mother's house someday.When I live a good life, I can't forget my parents who are suffering.

Not one or two thought this way, and within a few days, all the daughter-in-laws on Laoxiong Ridge proposed to go back to their natal home.

Those without parents-in-law are better off, the men can just say hello there, and those with parents-in-law naturally need to spend a lot of time, but it finally works.

Old Xiongling was too poor before, and the girls who could marry here were usually orphans whose natal family had never finished their meal, or who were not valued at home and loved by no one.

Now she wears new clothes and goes back to her mother's house, or carries a jar of snacks, tobacco leaves, or wine, or simply gives her parents money from her own house.

Even though they remembered the rules of the village and refused to say a word, the rumors of Lao Xiongling's prosperity would inevitably intensify.

Many things, if they open up and invite people to see them, maybe no one is interested.But the more it is hidden and mysterious, the more people want to find out.

After that, the name Laoxiongling became very popular in Shilibacun.

In the past, the mountain road where half a person could not be found, unexpectedly became busy.

Those who came to visit their in-laws, daughters or aunts or aunts, or hawkers carrying burdens selling snacks and needles and thread, and matchmakers with eyes like hooks, all gathered in Laoxiongling.

It's a pity that no matter who they are, they are all blocked at the mountain pass of Laoxiongling.

Mr. Zhong and his nephew have been busy for the past few days, and he is very grateful to the Lu family.In the past, working for other people's homes, not to mention providing meals, was considered kind if they didn't deduct their wages in the end.

But for the Lu family, breakfast is porridge and steamed buns with Lianghe noodles, stewed vegetables are served at noon and evening, and there are even slices of meat in the dishes. They eat it, young and old, even though they are sweating profusely all day, they are getting fatter.

When people get along with each other, it has always been a good combination of two good things.The Lu family was so kind, the old man Zhong wanted to do his job well, and wished he could carve flowers out of the bluestone on the well wall.

This day was the time to rest for noon, two young men in the village pierced the steamed buns with chopsticks, served a vegetable bowl, took a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of vegetable soup, and guarded the mountain pass, talking and laughing.

As a result, when outsiders gathered at the mountain pass, they were somewhat unable to stop them.

Seeing this, old man Zhong hurriedly sent his youngest son to report to Lingshang, then he stopped eating, and brought the rest of his sons and nephews to help.

After people on the mountain got the news, Mr. Feng called a group of men and rushed to the mountain in person.

Even though they were far away, I heard an old woman screaming by her neck, "What's the matter, our daughter is married, and I, a mother, can't even come to see it? Who knows what you have done to my daughter? No, I just want to go in!"

Old Master Feng frowned when he heard that, he turned around and asked the villagers, "Whose relative is this?"

A middle-aged man stood up and replied with a dark face, "It's our in-laws, the mother of Stone's daughter-in-law Cuilan."

"Go call Cuilan!"

"it is good."

The middle-aged man ran back, and soon everyone arrived at Taniguchi.When Old Master Feng arrived at the land, he changed his usual kind and gentle appearance, and directly bowed his hands to a few strangers outside the mountain pass, and finally said coldly, "Everyone, I don't know what to do? Although our old Xiongling is a mountainous place, we can also It's not a place where everyone can come and play wild! If you have something to say, hurry up, or don't blame us for being rude!"

"Hey, you old man, what are you talking about? My daughter is married, and I, a mother, will come and see, isn't it okay?"

The savage-faced old lady Diao was the first to speak, and she rolled her eyes, which was a bit annoying.Old Master Feng ignored her, and looked at the other people.

The others were not as tricky as the woman, or they were shopkeepers, or they came to buy furs.

Only then did Old Master Feng regain his smiling face, and exchanged greetings with a few outsiders, "Thank you for thinking of us, Old Xiongling, when you have business. However, you may have heard that spring vegetables are being planted on our mountain, and now Not to mention outsiders, even the children are locked at home and are not allowed to walk around casually.

It's embarrassing to say, I'm afraid of living a poor life, and suddenly I have a good life, so everyone is more careful.So I'm sorry, gentlemen, I let you make a trip today for nothing. When the autumn harvest comes, you will come again if you don't mind the trouble. I will definitely invite you to have a good drink together with a big bowl of meat and wine. "

The old man spoke frankly and honestly, and his etiquette was not bad. Those small traders couldn't be more reluctant, after all, their feet were still stepping on other people's territory.

So, one after another hastily returned the gift, carried the burden, or walked away with the donkey.Only the naughty old woman was left with a son whose eyes rolled around. Seeing this, she straightened her neck even more.

"It should be like this. They are all outsiders, but I am from my own family. I can go in. My daughter heard that mother and brother are here, and I am afraid that she is very happy."

As she spoke, she was about to go inside.I don't want the men behind Master Feng to stop her, "No, you can't enter!"

The men in the mountains hunted for a living, all of them were tall and thick, their soles were used as dry boats, and their arms could run horses. Such a vicious voice made the old woman back away.

"What are you doing, I'm Cuihua's mother!"

The men were still talking, but Cuihua finally ran down from the mountain, and shouted angrily from a distance, "Mother, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to let you come over?"

The old woman was a little guilty, coughed twice, and then forced to curse, "Damn girl, I miss you, come and see you!"

"I just went home the day before yesterday. Didn't you see me? Besides, I've been married for two years and you haven't missed me. How come you want to come here just two days ago!"

Cuihua was also very angry, she went back the day before yesterday and clearly told her family that no one should come, if there is something to send a message, she just goes back.

Unexpectedly, at such a time, my mother and elder brother came to make things difficult for her.Then she sneaked a look at the faces of the people in the village, she couldn't wait to hit the wall in a hurry.After that, how can she hold her head up in front of the villagers?
"Mom, hurry back!"

"Why go back, I haven't heard that married daughters can't visit. What about the in-laws, come out quickly, why doesn't Lao Xiongling not recognize relatives before it's developed?"

The old woman was also a little annoyed at being humiliated by her daughter, and she tried to find her in-laws.

But at this time, who came forward, wasn't Qing waiting to eat and hang Luo'er?
Cuihua's mother-in-law's family didn't come at all, Cuihua was so angry that she jumped, but the old lady just didn't listen.

In the end, it was Old Master Feng who got impatient, waved his hand, and said, "This old girl, outsiders are not allowed in our village now. When you have something to do, just send a letter to Cuihua, and naturally no one will stop her from going back. But if you insist on entering the village, you must be thinking about your daughter, why don't you just take Cuihua back and live there for a few years, and no one will pick her up in Lao Xiongling's custody."

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and walked back, carrying the copper smoking pot with his hands behind his back.

Several men were divided into one and followed, and the others were still eyeing the old woman covetously.

Cuihua blinked her eyes twice, and finally heard that Old Master Feng was going to drive her back to her natal home, so frightened, she immediately cried and scolded her.

"Mom, you go back quickly! I said everything, I didn't let you come, you came instead! Well, I'm divorced, so you'll be happy!"

The tricky old woman was also a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect Lao Xiongling to be so tough, when she first asked for Cuihua, she asked for a lot of dowry gifts, it is said that there is a family in Lao Xiongling that counted all the things for Cuihua's husband's family. Cuihua married back.How come it's only been two days, and he dared to say that Cuihua was divorced.Is it really developed?

That can't let Cuihua go home, and now if you go in and have a look, you may not be able to see any tricks.It's better to wait, maybe you can get more benefits.After all, she is a daughter born in her womb. She has lived a good life, and her mother's family can't miss the slightest benefit...

"Okay, okay, don't cry too. Mother just wanted to see you, could it be a mistake to come here? I'm going back! You can be fine, send a letter home when you are bullied, and mother will support you!"

The old woman said a few words, rolled her eyes a few times, and finally left with her son.

Leaving Cuihua'er with her head down, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in, and finally followed the crowd back to the mountain quietly.

Old Master Feng sent someone to wait at the entrance of the village, and directly called a few men to his yard.Previously, it was delayed because of helping Lu's family plant potatoes and dig wells.Looking at the situation now, the adobe houses at Shoushankou should be built as soon as possible.

Not only that, but also the east and west hills, where young children are allowed to go for a walk from time to time when there is nothing to do, firstly to prevent wild animals from coming down to spoil the young crops, and secondly to prevent outsiders from coming from outside the mountain.

In the courtyard of the Lu family, they had just had lunch, and it was time to take a break, so it couldn't be quieter.It was Lu Wu and Gao Ren who went off to play like crazy, and when they came back, they told Xiaomi about the Lingxia incident, and only then did Xiaomi know.

Afterwards, Aunt Liu came over to borrow a dustpan, and incidentally said that the villagers would start building adobe houses tomorrow.

Xiaomi naturally nodded in response, the food supplies have already been prepared, and if there is any shortage, he will go to the city to fill it up.

Aunt Liu originally borrowed the dustpan as a cover, and when she achieved her goal, she went back to report to everyone.
