Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 31 Being a Concubine
But not long after she entered the house, she heard Mrs. Zhang standing at the door of the east room and yelling at Dachang: "What are you doing, what's the matter with separating it from the middle of the nice yard? Is it a joke for outsiders to see it?! "

Dachang replied: "Mother, Jiabao is afraid of Westinghouse's chickens, Zhaodi is worried about letting him play in the yard, and wants to build a fence to block it!"

Jiabao is a toddler, and he can toddle around before he is one year old, and every time he sees Tianlai, he is very happy. The four members of Xianglai's family also like this little guy very much.

Mrs. Zhang heard his non-reasonable reason and said again: "What are you afraid of? After all, you are still a kid, and you can scare a few chickens!"

Shen Wanjin has become stronger after taking the medicine bought from Xianglai, now he can barely speak a word, and he can lift his arms.Mrs. Zhang doesn't know whether she is sincerely grateful, or whether she wants to win over Xianglai and ask her to pay for the medicine. In short, her attitude towards Xianglai's family is better. Seeing that her son wants to separate the two families, no matter what the purpose is , she can not agree.

Seeing that his mother refused to let him go, Dachang shook his head dejectedly in front of the pillar that had just been buried, trying to pull it out again.

Wu Zhaodi, who was coaxing Jiabao to play in the house, saw that Dachang was stopped by her mother-in-law, and she came out of the house and said, "Why don't you just put up a fence? What's wrong with you? What's the matter, boy? Don't you have to be afraid of chickens? The whole house You don’t care about those living creatures that harm people, we can build a fence to make things happen!”

Mrs. Zhang stretched her face and said: "The child is afraid that the adult chicken will not be able to see it. What's the matter with a good yard and a fence in the middle? You didn't see where the fence went, and you still don't let it go. Is the family going out?"

When Dachang was digging the hole, he was worried about the gate. Now seeing that his mother said the same thing, he said to Wu Zhaodi: "Mother is right, this fence should not be erected!"

Wu Zhaodi felt that she had some reason this time, and shouted loudly: "I don't know how far or how close, Jiabao is not your grandson or son? Turn your elbows outwards to others, and your own children don't take it seriously!"

Listening to the quarrels in the courtyard, Xianglai thought to herself: "This Wu Zhaodi has just settled down for a few months, and then she became hairy again. From what it means, it might be another big battle."

But she was wrong this time. Shen Dachang saw Wu Zhaodi put on the same face from before, hugged the pillar and yelled at her: "Why are you arguing? Dad is just right, do you want to make him sick again?" ? Go back to your old Wu's house to quarrel!"

Wu Zhaodi was yelled into silence by him at that time.In the past, Wu Zhaodi made waves in the Shen family, every time either Dachang accompanied her or Mrs. Zhang supported her, now the mother and son who supported her in the past teamed up to deal with her, Wu Zhaodi suddenly lost her prestige, stood there and looked left and right, With a sudden flick of his face, he went into the room and hugged Jiabao to wipe away his tears.

The members of Xianglai's family didn't know if she was crying or not, but they were bothered to hear the quarrel over their own affairs.

Xianglai said: "Mother, Second Aunt, why don't we put up the fence and go our own way, so as not to quarrel with Wu Zhaodi."

Both Xianglai Niang and Second Aunt nodded in agreement, and they were really upset by Wu Zhaodi for the past two years.

After lunch, Xianglai asked her mother to go to the back of the house to look at the fields, while she and her second aunt built a fence in the yard.

Mrs. Zhang saw it in the room and said: "Look at what you are doing, Dachang's daughter-in-law thinks about it, so don't be like her."

The second aunt said: "It's okay, sister-in-law, those chickens in my house are also quite annoying, flying and jumping everywhere, and the vegetables in this garden have also come out, put a fence to prevent them from going to your garden to dig vegetables."

Mrs. Zhang continued: "It's okay, there's always someone at home, just come out and catch up. You said to use this thing to separate the yard, so that outsiders can see it so we can think about it."

Mrs. Zhang's attitude towards Xianglai's family has improved, and Xianglai is no longer willing to deliberately turn over the old account, and her attitude towards her is also much better. Seeing her embarrassed face, she said: "It's okay to put up a fence. Anyway, the family is separated, and sooner or later it will be separated, the worst is to leave a small door in the middle of the fence, and it will still be the same as before."

Seeing that the matter could not be changed, Mrs. Zhang shouted to the middle room: "Dachang, come out quickly, and help your second aunt and Xianglai get it together."

Dachang came out of the house and was polite with the two for a while, seeing that the two had made up their minds, he followed suit.

The three of them finished the fence in one afternoon, and according to Xiang Lai, a small gate was installed near the house for one person to move around, so that the two families could move around.And Dachang also helped the two of them pull down the fence of the vegetable garden in the west courtyard, and opened another courtyard gate for Xianglai's house.

In this way, the two families finally separated completely.

After the yard was separated, Wu Zhaodi had fewer places to find trouble, and the four of Xianglai lived a lot more peacefully.

Seeing the rice seedlings grow up behind the house, the amount of water in Xianglai is well controlled, all the weeds in the field are suffocated by the water, and it is easy to pull out a few weeds occasionally.

There is nothing to do at home, Xianglai thought that the old food left by his uncle last year might not be enough for the four of them to last until autumn, so he wanted to pick some wild vegetables and come back to dry, and he hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, so he ordered a few more sets Get some flavor and come back to make a tooth festival.

But at the thought of going up the mountain, she suddenly remembered something.

Years ago, the old man she and Second Aunt met outside the gold mine asked her to deliver a letter for him before she died. At that time, she agreed without hesitation, but she hesitated for a few days when she came back. to the back of the head.

Thinking about it again now, Xianglai still wondered whether he should help him spread the word.

I don’t care about it intentionally, but people say that they must do what they promised the dead, otherwise his soul will find you in the underworld.

Xianglai in her previous life didn't believe this, but now that she has traveled through time, she couldn't help but not believe it.

But if he really wants to pass this letter, Xianglai is worried that the old man is not a good person, and if he does bad things with his son, it will definitely cause trouble.

I hesitated for a long time because of this Xianglai, but in the end I still couldn't hold back my conscience, thinking who made me not think long enough to agree to someone at the time, and there was no reason to go back on my promise, and besides, after such a long time, maybe the old man's son came to him He got impatient looking for it and left this area long ago.

With this kind of luck, she quietly broke a three-pronged poplar branch, and tied it to the crooked fence gate of her house with a red cloth strip.

But only she knew about this matter, but she didn't disclose it to her mother and second aunt at all. If the old man's son really came to the door, she would only have to deal with him, so as not to cause trouble to others in case something happened.

Two days before Chen Xianglai tied up the poplar branches.

In Songning County, Maosheng grocery store, Yu Zixi was listening to the report from the clerk.

This guy is the guy he sent out to investigate Chen Xianglai's details, his name is Qi Xing.
