Chapter 14 Zhao Wenshi

Mrs. Liu pestered Xiuniang to talk about something, but Xiuniang heard the knock on the door and thought of dragging her over, "Hey, sister-in-law Liu, listen, but Xiao Xianger is back, so I'll open the door first."

Xiu Niang put down her needlework and went out of the house. Mrs. Liu helped put it into the embroidery basket, and said to her behind, "Sister, first ask who is here, Xiao Xianger and Da Ya picked mountains early Mushroom is gone, why come back so soon."

Mrs. Liu knew that Chu Ge was busy working in the field, and Xiu Niang was the only one left in the courtyard. If there was no man in the family, she had to be careful. If there is something trivial in the courtyard, if it goes out, it will be a big hole for each person.

Especially for the new little daughter-in-law who goes to the village, sometimes the mother-in-law in the village can tell you and cry. They didn't quarrel.

Xiuniang knew what Mrs. Liu meant, and every time she went through the house and saw that Chu Ge was not there, she had to talk about it, and then asked her to close the door, and said that everything in Xiayang Village was good, that's all. The mother-in-law is disgusting.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who is it?"

"Xiao Xianger, is your elder brother there?"

"Chugo is out, are you?"

"Yo, newcomer, I'm his Aunt Zhao."

"Aunt Zhao?"

"That's right, it's his Aunt Zhao."

The people outside said how familiar they were with Chu Ge, but Xiu Niang didn't recognize her. She was behind the door wondering if she could open the door. Liu Shi came over after watching, and said nothing to Xiu Niang. , raised his hand towards the door panel and let her open it.

Xiu Niang was just getting started, when she heard the outside talk again, "Oh, Chu Ge's family, if you don't say anything, open the door."

Mrs. Liu smacked her lips, frowned, looked at her face, and heard this man's yelling, Xiu Niang was prepared, the person outside the door was not a good master.

As soon as Xiu Niang took down the bamboo pole, a middle-aged woman with a good-looking appearance rushed in, forcing the two people behind the door to take a small step back.

The middle-aged woman fanned the wind with a handkerchief, and went straight into the main room of Xiuniang's house, ignoring her when she went to the courtyard, "Slow hands and feet, it's a big day, let me incur this crime."

Mrs. Liu curled her lips, and Xiao Mo said in a low voice, "Dare you, no one wants you to come."

After thinking about it, Xiuniang turned around and closed the door. Mrs. Liu took the bamboo pole to help her, and told Xiuniang that the person who came was Zhao Wenshi. They all moved to Shangyang Village, so I had to go across the village to find someone to talk to. It was good at first, but then the business got bigger, and this person's eyes grew more and more, like she was the only one in Xiayang Village. Knowing that the copper is round.

Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed, and Xiu Niang smiled, "Sister-in-law Liu, people often say that the former has a good temper, but she has a problem with money. Her coins are round and square, and no one buys them from me." , just ignore her."

"Sister, please be lenient about what people say later, huh?"

"Sister-in-law Six, I know. She's just a guest. Besides, she's an elder. I won't throw face at others."

Seeing the way Xiuniang was speaking, Mrs. Liu knew in her heart that she didn't know anything about Mrs. Wen, and guessed that Chu Ge never told her about it.

This is also the case, which man who doesn't have a wife would like to tell the truth, seeing that Ren'er Xiuniang knows how to live, if she knows this, she won't go back to her mother's house.

But the person is coming, please be gentle with Xiu Niang first, Mrs. Liu came to the door, Xiao Mo said in a low voice, "Sister, what you said is not the same as what I said, you..."

Wen Shi sat in the shade, looking for no water to drink, and said sharply, "Hey, from Chu Ge's family, I'll bring you a bowl of tea for Aunt Zhao."

Xiu Niang followed suit, and smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law Liu, if you're bored, you can go home first, and I'll go find you when I'm done."

How can she go now, I don't know what the old talker is going to talk about, she has to accompany Xiu Niang, Liu looked at her eyes, "It's okay, I will accompany her first, you get water Bar."

Mrs. Liu went into the main room after a while, and said a few words of courtesy to Mrs. Wen, Xiu Niang scooped up some stream water from a clay pot, took three bowls and entered the room, poured bowls of water for everyone, and said to Mrs. Wen Shi said, "Auntie, this is the water from the spring that I just tapped in the morning. It's crystal clear, so it's good to drink now."

Wen's was so hot that he was sweating, looked at the bowl of clear water and licked his mouth, took the one he took down first, then poured out the one in Liu's bowl, and gasped after he finished, "Hey, what? The water from the spring cave, just from the head of the brook, can’t be drunk in a few days after being scooped up in buckets, what’s the matter, it’s as if no one has ever drunk it.”

Xiuniang first poured a bowl for Mrs. Liu. This morning, she helped her to pick out the water from the brook. Because she picked it up, Mrs. Liu was able to take it. She asked the small bucket to pick it up. The water is not heavy, but it is heavy on the shoulders. Wen Shi said that it is fishy after tasting it.

"Yes, my aunt has lived in Xiayang Village for a long time, and she drinks a lot."

Mrs. Liu's face turned dark. Wen's people who passed through the village earlier relied on their own age to deal with her, and this small stream is not so easy to pick. It's not that I don't know, "That's right, what my aunt said was not good, and she drank two big bowls in a row, and I also ate my share."

Wen Shi paused for a moment, then smiled casually, "Hey, I have to say, I'm used to drinking fragrant tea in Shangyang Village, and the first sip was just a little weak. Yes, but it’s okay to drink it all day long in this big day, let’s have a bowl.”

The pot was right by her hand, but Wen Shi waited for someone to pour it in, as the younger generation should serve tea and water to the older generation, but Wen Shi said it as if ordering a servant, of course Liu Shi ignore.

Xiu Niang smiled and picked up the pot, "Auntie is right, our village lacks everything, but there is enough water from the spring."

Wen felt that what Xiuniang said was as if she had no water in Shangyang Village and came back to drink cold water, "Hey, it's done, I don't want to drink it, my stomach feels uncomfortable just after drinking it. .”

Seeing Wen's suffocation, Liu laughed, and Xiu Niang sat down beside Liu. She just wanted to let Chu Ge drink such a can of water after cooling down.

After entering the door, the teasing was over, Wen Shi sat down and looked at Xiu Niang with a shrewd face, "Oh, I forgot to ask just now, this is Chu Ge's wife, she is from the six families, just now Let me tell you what the person's name is."

Mrs. Liu smiled, "My aunt loves to forget things, and her name is Xiu Niang."

Wen also smiled, "Look at this newcomer, he looks really handsome, even his name sounds nice."

Her words are flattering, but her eyes kept on looking at Xiuniang, looking for her clothes. Xiuniang secretly looked at herself, there was nothing wrong with her dress, and smiled, "Look at what you said Yes, my aunt is not boasting, okay?"

Wen took Xiuniang's hand, "Look at this sweet little man, what kind of man is he?"

Xiu Niang said, "I went to Chen Family Village."

Wen frowned, and said loudly, "What? In such a poor village, small households, I don't know that the lotus girl is in a hurry... Oh, look at my old mouth. Yes, the Chu Ge family is not to blame."

Xiu Niang looked at Wen's pretending to slip up, and finally smiled slowly, she knew what someone was here for today.
