The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 78 Human nature is selfish

Xiaomi patted the dust off his hands and said, "Brother Feng, come down the mountain with me?"

"Okay," Feng Jian nodded, the skirt was tucked into his belt and never put down, Xiaomi stepped forward to smooth it for him, causing the corners of his mouth to slightly twitch, and instructed, "Don't be soft-hearted."

"I know, it's because I'm afraid of being soft-hearted that I let you go with me."

Xiaomi smiled happily, and wanted to invite Uncle Yang, but the old man refused, "I won't go, first cut a bundle of rice, thresh and pound the rice, and you can steam new rice for lunch."

"Okay, I'm going to stew the braised pork into the casserole first. White rice and braised pork are delicious!"

Sure enough, Xiaomi turned to the stove, cut the meat, rinsed it, fried it with sugar and put it in a casserole. After another half an hour of work, he called Feng Jian who was drinking tea under the tree and went down the mountain together.

In the adobe house at the foot of the mountain, although the villagers who guard the mountain pass usually spend the night here to rest, occasionally, the women who cook in the thatched shed will also come to have a rest, so they are very clean.

At this moment, Mrs. Sui and the eldest son of Sui were drinking tea at the table under the window. Since the host's house was not here, Aunt Liu came over from time to time to take care of them.

Earlier, Du Youcai made the villagers very angry, so naturally no one wanted to be polite to the mother and son.

But Orion is reckless by nature, with clear grievances and grievances. Even if he is unhappy, he will not treat the guests so harshly.

Mrs. Sui thought of the father of the child in the prison, of the unmarried daughter at home, of the ruthless Fu Yin, and felt a burning pain in her heart.

Eldest Young Master Sui who was sitting on the side frowned even more, looking a little anxious.

"Mother, this Lu family is too rude, let's go back!"

Mrs. Sui put down the teacup, and looked at her son with a stern look in her eyes.

"Brother Hui, your father said you were right in Sai'an earlier. Although you were raised by me and didn't do anything out of line, you were still too arrogant. Now that your father has lost power, the future of our Sui family may be difficult. It's much more serious than today, what are you going to do by then, or walk away? Besides, your cousin was too arrogant before, and it's not bad to say that he is an enemy of life and death. If you are a member of the Lu family, you will kill your enemy now Tea?"

Young Master Sui was forced to lower his head by every sentence of his old mother, "Mother, it's my fault."

"It's hard for you," Mrs. Sui felt a little distressed when she saw her son like this, but she hardened her heart when she thought about the cold reception she was destined to face in the future, "Your father is safe and sound this time, and I'm afraid it will happen in the future." Depression, you are the pillar of the family, you must act cautiously."

"Yes, mother."

Outside the door, Lu Xiaomi and Feng Jian were about to push the door, when they accidentally heard the words of the couple inside the door, they were very surprised, and added three points of admiration.No matter how Master Sui condoned his nephew to do evil, this Mrs. Sui is a sensible woman.

"Squeak..."

The two wooden doors were a little dry after being blown by the autumn wind for a few days, and they made a harsh sound when they were pushed.

Xiaomi walked in with Feng Jian side by side, and Mrs. Sui's mother and son were a little dazed.

Xiaomi is wearing a bright green dress today. There are no complicated patterns, but it looks more and more like her small face is fair, her hair is black, her big eyes are smart, and she is full of intelligence. There are two silver butterflies hanging from the tips of her braids, and she is even more lively when shaking .

Feng Jian still loves Shiqing clothes, embroidered with bamboo patterns, dark green belt, high bun, and a boxwood hairpin.The uprightness and nobility in his eyebrows, even if he didn't deliberately show it, but the movement of his eyes made people feel humbled.

The sun rising in mid-air came in from behind the two of them, as if covering them with a golden veil. When they walked, the slender shadows on the ground intertwined, and there was an unspeakable intimacy...

Mrs. Sui came to her senses first, and got up quickly. After a moment of hesitation, she knelt down directly.

Young Master Sui was startled, and also knelt behind his mother.

"Chen Sui and his son, make amends to Miss Lu."

Xiaomi was also taken aback, she never expected Mrs. Sui to make such a big gift, she bent down to stop her, but was pulled by Feng Jian.

Xiaomi looked over suspiciously, but Feng Jian didn't speak, and led her to take the main seat, and then sat aside without raising her eyes.

Xiaomi guessed his intentions, stuck out his tongue mischievously, then pretended to be serious, and said lightly, "Mrs. Sui, our Lu family is an ordinary family, but we also understand the principle of being a guest when we come to the door. Please get up and let outsiders After reading it, I thought our Lu family was not polite."

Mrs. Sui sighed secretly. Originally, she was looking at Xiaomi's young age and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. As long as Xiaomi's heart softened and helped her, today's matter would be half done.

It's a pity that Xiaomi didn't reach out, which made her passive.

"Miss Lu, don't get me wrong. The old lady really felt guilty about what happened earlier, so she neglected etiquette."

Xiaomi didn't respond, and said, "Please, have a cup of rough tea, and I hope the guests will not be offended."

"No, no."

Young Master Sui helped his mother up. He was still young after all, and he felt that he had been treated coldly. He glanced at Xiaomi with unfriendly eyes, but when he touched Feng Jian's eyes, he was so shocked by the coldness. Shivering, he lowered his head suddenly.

Mrs. Sui noticed it a little bit, she was afraid that her son would cause trouble, so she hurriedly said as soon as she sat down.

"Miss Lu, I know that Miss Lu was wronged a lot because of my ineffective nephew. But the fact is that he has done anything wrong and has nothing to do with my master. Last night, Mr. Fuyin suddenly withdrew my master's It is extremely unfair to arrest him and put him in prison again..."

When she wanted to say more, Lu Xiaomi was a little annoyed, and the little good impression she had made outside the door was wiped out in an instant.

Sure enough, people are selfish.Always be lenient to yourself and strict to others.

"Mrs. Sui's words are a bit biased. If there is no support from Master Sui, how dare Du Youcai rob my family's designated mountain land, and bully us down to Laoxiongling Mountain. Do you dare to say that there is no acquiescence from Master Sui?" Or support? Now, it is very fair for Mr. Fu Yin to do so. Madam Sui needless to say, please go back."

As Xiaomi was talking, she was about to get up. Seeing this, Madam Sui was really anxious and knelt down again.

"Miss Lu, please forgive me. The old woman was so impatient that she couldn't choose what to say. The sudden change in the family caused a moment of confusion. The old woman's eldest son just got married, but the youngest daughter was never engaged. Now the master is in prison, and the Sui family Most of it has already fallen. The old woman grew up in the back house, and she doesn't understand foreign affairs. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope the girl will be happy."

Seeing Mrs. Sui's graying hair, Lu Xiaomi's heart softened when she saw that Mrs. Bai would look like this if she was still alive.

"Get up and talk about something."

"Thank you girl."

Mrs. Sui staggered a little when she got up. After all, she was getting old. She stayed up all night and waited for another morning. When Young Master Sui helped her, her eye circles became a little red. In my impression, my mother had never been like this before. Dad complained again.

"Miss Lu, because of the affection of my deceased sister, my master treated his nephew very indulgently. This time, he acquiesced in his nephew's doing evil. It stands to reason that my master should suffer a little bit, but for so many years, my master has done a lot of things. Obedience to Master Fu Yin, if you are charged with all the crimes now, it is really wronged. This time, the old woman came here with her son, firstly, to make amends to the girl and the villagers sincerely, and secondly, to return the two deeds of the mountain."

Young Master Sui at the side received the signal from his mother, and quickly took out the deed paper from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Xiaomi glanced at it and didn't take it. Mrs. Sui's eyes were a little desperate, and Xiaomi couldn't bear it slightly. After thinking about it, she asked, "What exactly does Mrs. Sui want?"

"It's very simple, Miss Lu, as long as you don't criticize my master too much when summoned by the Shangguan. The old woman just wants to return to her hometown safely and watch her children live a safe life."

"Nadu is talented..."

"The matter was done by him, so it is natural for the girl to deal with it. Even if the girl doesn't deal with it, she will be punished by the national law."

Mrs. Sui said it simply, decisively abandoned the nephew who had always been disgusted, and only wanted to keep the family safe.

Xiaomi looked at Feng Jian, Feng Jian nodded.In the final analysis of this matter, Master Sui was just an accomplice, and it was Du Youcai who really did it.Now if the governor is involved, the Lu family will be in danger of being used as a gunman if they are not careful.It's better to agree to come down, pick out your own house first, and then make a decision.

"Okay, our Lu family can not pursue Master Sui's crime of connivance. However, how the Fuyin master behaves is beyond our Lu family's control. Madame, do you understand?"

"Don't worry girl."

Mrs. Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and when she got up and wanted to say goodbye, Xiaomi pushed back the land deed, "You take this land deed back, our Lu family only buys mountain land from the government office."

Mrs. Sui froze for a moment, but finally accepted the deed.

Seeing the Sui family's mother and son getting into the carriage and leaving, the villagers couldn't help but go to the door and ask, "Xiaomi, what is this man doing here? Did he scare you?"

"That's right, we are not afraid of them, at worst we will move to the mountains."

"Uncles, don't be overwhelmed. They are here to make amends. Previously, it could be resolved quickly. If it goes well, maybe tomorrow we can buy the mountain land back!"

Xiaomi didn't want to say too much, and told everyone the result with a smile.

Sure enough, everyone didn't open their eyes and smiled, "That's great, everyone has lived in Laoxiongling for decades, and if they leave, they really don't want to part with it."

What he said was too much of a turn, as if he had just vowed to move that it was someone else.

Everyone laughed, and finally turned back to continue their work.

Xiaomi went to the straw shed to check the food. There were steamed buns and stewed vegetables, which were not bad, so he went up the mountain with Feng Jian.

She blushed a little when she remembered Feng Jian's instructions when she went down the mountain.

"Brother Feng, that... I'm soft-hearted again, are you not angry?"

"No, as long as you're happy." Feng Jian stretched out his hand and shook Xiaomi's hand. Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them had such close contact. Xiaomi was a little panicked, but she was reluctant to break free, so her face turned redder. Like a mountain fruit on a branch, it is extremely cute.
