Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 4
The Xu Zongde she mentioned is the real owner of the gold mine. Although he has not been in the gold mine, his subordinates will be blamed for the murders.

Xiang Lai Niang's face turned pale when she heard that, she knew better than Xiang Lai those things in the officialdom, and the reason why she persisted was because she held a glimmer of hope, hoping that if she met a good official, she would be able to make a decision for Shen Wanlu, she really couldn't let him be ignorant Lost their lives for nothing and didn't do something about it.

Tianlai Niang's reaction was even bigger than Xianglai Niang's. After Xianglai said this, she actually started to cry, gritted her teeth and shouted: "The person surnamed Xu is rich and powerful, but he can't live without Wang Fa! Your father... you Dad was beaten to death by them!"

When she cried, Xianglai's mother also shed tears, and Xiao Tianlai even hugged her second aunt and cried loudly.

Outsiders would cry even if they saw this kind of scene, not to mention that Chen Xianglai's current role is still a member of the family, even though the dead man called Dad, he was instantly infected by the emotions of the three people, and immediately burst into tears .

But after all, she was a little more sober than the three of them, sobbing and saying: "Father died so badly, Xianglai wanted to avenge him even more, but right now we don't have the ability at all, so all we can do is spend our days Have a good life! As the saying goes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It’s not that the time for retribution has not yet come. Let’s write down this revenge first, and repay it when there is an appropriate time in the future.”

The second aunt was still crying, and said: "According to this, I can't wait for this opportunity for a lifetime. Then Xu Zongde's family business occupies half of the Huikang mansion, and we can't earn it even if we earn it for ten lifetimes! What will we do to fight with him?" Fight..."

The four fell into grief again.

At this time, the two-month-old little Jiabao in Zhongwu started to make a fuss for some reason, and refused to take the milk, crying endlessly.

Wu Zhaodi walked around coaxing her in her arms, and walked around the yard when she couldn't coax her well in the house, but she still couldn't coax her well.

Crying made Wu Zhaodi upset, and heard several people in the Westinghouse also crying, shaking the child angrily and shouting: "Cry, cry, you know how to cry all day long! Sooner or later, the family will be defeated by crying..."

Dachang heard that his daughter-in-law went crazy again, so he hurried out to pick up the child, and carried him into the east room.

Wu Zhaodi slammed the door angrily and went back to her room.

The four members of Xianglai's family watched this scene through the window, Xianglai said: "Mother, Second Aunt, do you think it's better for us to separate?"

The second aunt lowered her head and only shed tears and didn't speak. She was honest and not stupid. She saw that something was wrong earlier and just pretended not to know it. Now she can't pretend even if she wants to.

Xiang Lai Niang wiped her tears and said: "But how do you say it now? Although your uncle doesn't care much about the affairs of the house, he knows everything in his heart. Not only will he not agree to our request to go out, he will also blame your aunt If you wrong us, won't it be even worse then?"

Xiang Lai thinks about it too, the uncle is also a person who wants to save face, if he is separated now, people in the village will definitely say that Shen Da just kicked out his brother-in-law and nephews and nieces after his brother died, and the uncle will not agree even if he is beaten to death.So he said: "Then let's delay for a few days first, and then think of a way to see if we can find a reason to separate without hurting face."

Xianglai Niang nodded in agreement, Second Aunt wiped her tears and pondered for a while, remembering Zhang's taunting and accusations and Wu Zhaodi's accusations, she couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "I don't know what to do. , it's up to you two to make up your mind."

Sure enough, as Xianglai expected, the second aunt was going to take Tianlai to herd cattle the next morning, but she was stopped by Mrs. Zhang: "His second aunt, go and herd cattle by yourself. You have to do the work that you can do alone." What are the two of you going to do, let Tianlai feed the sheep and pigs at home, free up Xianglai and Guifang to go to the field to pull weeds, the grass in the field is taller than the seedlings, there are not enough people!"

The second aunt looked at Tianlai beside her. The eight-year-old Tianlai was not as tall as the grass basket, so how could he cut the grass to feed the sheep.

But there is no way, Mrs. Zhang has said so, if she refuses to let her, she might have to quarrel.So I could only tell Tianlai a few words, and then left him at home to herd the cattle alone.

Although Xianglai was also worried about Tianlai, but knowing that there was a mother at home to take care of Tianlai, Tianlai would not be too tired, so she packed up and went to the fields with her uncle, Dachang and Guifang.

It is said that when Xianglai's father was alive, he loved Xianglai more than Tianlai. It is said that 13 years old is considered a big girl in this era, but Chen Xianglai has never been in the field once.

But that was all in the past, the current Chen Xianglai was born in a peasant family, and he studied agriculture in college, so he is absolutely familiar with farm work, and he is no slower than Gui Fang, who is one year older than her, in weeding and weeding.

Although Guifang is not as stuffy as her uncle, she is not as thoughtful as her mother and Wu Zhaodi. There are only two girls in the family, she and Xianglai. People eat for nothing, but she doesn't have much dislike for Xianglai, and they talk while working.

Xianglai also happened to have a deeper understanding of the family's affairs through her mouth.

Uncle and Dachang only focus on working, and don't gossiping like Mrs. Zhang, so Xianglai feels more comfortable working in the field than at home after a day.

In this way, it was hard for the Xianglai mother at home. While helping Tianlai mow the grass, feed the sheep, and herd the pigs, she also had to do housework with Wu Zhaodi. sarcastic remarks.

After a few days, Xianglai found that her mother had lost weight again, and her complexion was obviously not good. She worriedly asked her mother several times if she was not feeling well, and Xianglai's mother said she was fine.Xianglai guessed that she was only busy with work all day long, and often left hungry after eating her last meal, thinking that she must make up for her when she has the conditions, since she used her daughter's body.The body should do the filial piety that a girl should do.

The family of four worked, and the several acres of land at home were quickly cleaned up. The second aunt kept the cows, and the pigs and sheep were handed over to Xianglai to take care of them. Labor became idle.

Wu Zhaodi refused to cook any more when she saw the work in the field was over. Every day, she hugged the child and slept until the sun shined on her buttocks, and then took the child to her mother's house in the same village to avoid cooking lunch. She will come back when Xiang Lai Niang finishes the meal.

But in the middle of it, Wu Zhaodi woke up early one morning, and when Xianglai Niang went to cook, she had already prepared a breakfast for one person, and Dachang was also fully dressed and eating.

Xianglai Niang asked strangely: "Why do you get up so early, is there something wrong with Dachang?"

Dachang didn't answer, Wu Zhaodi said with a crooked nose and squinted eyes: "Of course I'm going to earn money, a bunch of freeloaders, you can't earn it hard, the bones and dregs will be eaten up!"

Xianglai Niang was so hurt that she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she only knew that Dachang left with a sickle.
