Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 23

The Shen family's ancestral house is still the same, with a row of half-moon-shaped tiles on the eaves, showing the wealth of the landlord's family.

Old Mrs. Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, with steaming steam on the kang table in front of her.Seeing Chunsheng, she hurriedly called out: "Grandma's little boy, where are you going at this hour, what can you do if you're hungry?"

"Grandma, the fourth aunt is trying to keep me from coming back."

After he complained, the old lady raised her eyes and finally saw a group of idlers waiting at the door.

"Why is the fourth child here again, Fu Hai, come and remove the table quickly. There is something wrong with Erya, how can I live as an old man."

One old four and one Fuhai, relatives and relatives stand apart.Shen Fuxiang blushed, but Yiyou was fearless, and muttered in a low voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Should we lift the roof and remove the beams?"

Mrs. Li, please take a picture of her daughter: "What nonsense, your grandma is so sensible, she will definitely help her grandson get justice."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the beams pointingly, and the whole room was full of people thinking about the sentence: whoever will not give Erya a living, I will hang with Yunniang on the west beam of his house.

Erya and Changsheng are both their biological children.

The old lady shivered, and when she saw the patriarch's son next to her, she regained her confidence.She licked her temples and pointed at Cheng's coughing voice: "Daughter-in-law Fuhai, tell me, what's going on with the noise outside?"

The family didn't rush to talk, Cheng glanced to the south and saw Chang Sheng whose forehead was soaked in blood.Thinking of Siya who suffered as a slave and maidservant in the county government office, she felt relieved.

"Mom, I don't know the details. It seems to be Chunsheng..."

"Grandma, I'm going to the latrine."

The old lady frowned, and waved her hand as if chasing flies: "Go as soon as you want, everyone is eating."

Yiyou was disgusted with her: "The hut is not far from here, I don't shit, you will definitely come back before you finish eating the grilled fish."

The grilled fish was burnt black, and it looked like a poop.The old lady put down her chopsticks with a very expressive expression on her face.

Seeing this, Yiyou exited happily, and as soon as she arrived in the yard, she started wandering around.It was clear at a glance in the main room, and there was no trace of Cheng Hua.Cheng's family and Mu's family lived in the same village, and they had to go back the way they came.She was [-]% sure that Cheng Hua was hiding somewhere in the ancestral house.

There is neither the west room nor the east room, the huts are messy and full of food, it is impossible to hide people.After scanning everything, there was no one in sight. Did she guess wrong?Impossible, something must have been missed.

"What are you looking at?"

Some old voices sounded, and Yiyou shivered.In front of him stood an old woman in an apron, her hands were as old as withered bark.At first glance, she was a bit puzzled, but soon she remembered that this was Mother Chun, the back cook of the Shen family.

Back kitchen?It seems she hasn't looked there yet.Cheng Hua was always greedy, so that was a good place to go.

"I want to find a bowl of water to drink."

As she was talking, she walked towards the kitchen. Seeing that Chun's mother looked nervous, she quickened her pace.

"It's dirty inside, Erya, don't go in, I'll bring it out for you."

Yiyou refused: "This is the second uncle's house, and I used to come here often, does Chun's mother still treat me as an outsider?"

Taking advantage of her hesitation, she lifted the dark curtain and walked in directly.The back kitchen was full of pots and pans, and it seemed that the fat figure in the khaki robe could not be accommodated in the small space.

"Cheng Hua?"

"Sister Erya... you... why are you here?"

Yiyou narrowed her eyes, "I came to look for you. Not only did I not run away after beating my brother, but I dared to throw myself into a trap?"

Cheng Hua is the same age as Chunsheng, but his IQ is more in line with a ten-year-old's age.Hearing this, he started to sweat: "I, it's all Chunsheng's idea, it's none of my business."

Clapping his hands, Yiyou grabbed his sleeves: "Go, talk to the adults."

"I don't want to go, you get out of the way."

Cheng Hua wanted to push her away and run out, but he only grew fat, and he was no match for Yiyou who worked in the fields since childhood.Yiyou cut his hands behind his back twice, glared at Chun's mother who wanted to stop him, and escorted him towards the front yard.

"Cheng Hua, Changsheng's head was broken, and blood flowed all over his face."

"I didn't do it, I really didn't do it."

So timid?In the past, Yiyou only heard that Cheng Hua was a pussy, but indeed, what he heard was not as good as what he saw.Curved the corners of the lips, if such a person makes good use of it, today's affairs will be easy to handle.

"It doesn't matter whether you did it or not, this is the Shen family. Do you think my second uncle and the others will turn to Chunsheng, or wrong Chunsheng and pull your nephew out?"

"Auntie won't do that, she won't hurt me."

Slightly loosening his wrist, seeing him smiling confidently, Yiyou added another sap: "So sure? Then why do you think I found you in the back kitchen? Mother Chun doesn't care about you being taken away."

Frightened, Cheng Hua gradually wavered.Obviously, he hid it well before Sister Erya's family came. If no one said anything, no one would know that he was at Shen's house.Could it be that my aunt confessed him for Chunsheng?For sure, they all love Chunsheng so much!
"The second aunt must have told you to keep silent, and she will take care of the rest, right? Think about it, if you don't justify, the whole Yunlin Village will know that you broke Changsheng's head. In the future, adults will talk about you , and talk about that Cheng family brother who beat people half to death. No matter how rich your family is, once your reputation is ruined, what good will you have to do?"

Cheng Hua had completely collapsed, his eyes were blank: "Then what should I do?"

"Chunsheng can study in the government school in the county. As long as you tell the truth, in order to protect him, the second uncle will find a way to suppress this matter."

"Really?"

"Let me put it here, believe it or not. If you want to go, you can go now, and I won't stop you."

Letting go of his arm, Yiyou walked towards the main room.What is false is true, and what is true is false. She is sure of her words.

"Look at what scares us Chunsheng, you are the fourth uncle and you treat your nephew like this? Don't say if there is such a thing, even if there is, it must be done by the kid from the Cheng family pulling Chunsheng."

The old lady is no better than Cheng Shi, Chunsheng is the most important thing in her heart.This matter must and must have absolutely nothing to do with Chunsheng. As for the Cheng family, they still have to rely on her now.Even if Cheng Hua took the blame, how dare they come to him?
Yiyou also thought of this point, the old lady and Cheng's are not monolithic.The old lady has a lot of power, and she doesn't know that she is completely at ease with her natal niece.If Cheng wants to gain a firm foothold, he must rely on his natal family.If there is a conflict between the two, she has an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Just as he was about to open the door, a pair of fleshy hands stretched out beside him.Cheng Hua's face became even paler, and beads of sweat trickled down the corners of his eyes.Yiyou tilted her head and pursed her lips when she saw this.

Coincidentally, today this matter is considered a success.
