Farming is worse than raising monks

Chapter 15

"Hey!" Deng Tianshui laughed out loud first, "Second sister-in-law, you really know how to tell jokes, and you have separated families, so you're waiting to starve to death."

Mei Niang glanced at Deng Tianshui with her cold eyes, and said seriously, "Third brother, since you call me second sister-in-law, please speak carefully, and don't forget the gift of elder and younger."

Deng Tianshui choked for a moment, he didn't expect her to speak of himself face to face, so he gritted his teeth.

But still shut up.

"Elder-in-law, mother-in-law." Meiniang looked at Deng Erniu and Gao Shi, and reminded her aloud.

Deng Erniu immediately shook his head and denied, "Mei Niang, don't say such angry words, Tianhe just left, how can we separate you, no."

"Bah, want to split up? Lin Meiniang, tell you that there is no way, you think I don't know your plan, you want to split up and no one will take care of you, you can do whatever you want, tell you, don't even think about it " Gao Shi spat hard and said proudly.

Hu Cuihong also sneered.

Mei Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Mother-in-law, do you think I want to separate? Of course I don't want to. I'm a weak woman who can only do some housework, and I can't do heavy work in the fields. If I separate, I won't starve to death." Are you exhausted, so in the future, it will be so hard to ask the eldest brother and the third younger brother, I still have to rely on you to support me."

She is very clear that according to Gao's personality, separating the family is not an easy thing to achieve.

Today, I didn't plan to have a successful separation.

Mei Niang's answer surprised the Deng family, and at the same time confused.

Shouldn't she find a way to persuade Gao to agree to split the family?

The Deng family didn't know whether she wanted to separate or not.

Gao was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and when she wanted to curse a few words to relieve her hatred, Deng Erniu hurriedly answered, "Mei Niang, it's best if you don't want to separate the family, go and change your clothes, let's go to the county."

Mei Niang frowned, "Now?"

"Yes, the pension that Chaoyan issued to our family..." Deng Erniu explained.

It's a pity that in the middle of the conversation, Gao interrupted, "Don't ask those questions, be more agile."

Although Deng Erniu hadn't finished speaking, Mei Niang already knew what was going on, she sighed slightly, nodded and went back to the room.

"Old bastard, you are confused, what do you say to her." Gao scolded Deng Erniu in a low voice.

Deng Erniu was a little displeased and said, "Why can't you tell Mei Niang that she is Tianhe's daughter-in-law, and besides, she will know when she arrives in the county later. Tianshan, go to Sandunzi's house and see when they leave. "

Deng Tianshan went out in response.

Mei Niang went back to the room, locked the door, took out the money bag from her pocket, and looked around to see where the money should be hidden, but she was not at ease carrying it on her body.

Gao likes to search the houses of his daughters-in-law, and Hu Cuihong's hands and feet are also a little dirty, if they find out the money, there will be a huge upside down.

Look around, it's not safe to put it anywhere.

It's a pity that before she could figure out where to put it, Gao's urging voice came.

Mei Niang had no choice but to put the money bag next to her body again, but fortunately she was wearing a jacket that was loose enough, so she couldn't see anything wrong, so she straightened her hair a bit, added a thin jacket, and opened the door to go out.

When Gao Shi saw her, he couldn't help talking nonsense again.

Mei Niang was silent, ignoring her.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, there was a carriage parked at the gate, and there were already two people sitting on it, they were Sandunzi's father and mother that Deng Erniu mentioned just now, and they also went to get the pension money together, and the carriage belonged to his family.

"This damn weather, who would have expected such heavy snowfall, it's wet." Gao looked at Sandunziniang and complained.

"Who says no? If it weren't for this matter, who would want to go out." Sandunzi Niang replied.

After a few greetings, Deng Erniu, Gao Shi and Meiniang got into the car.

Mei Niang wrapped her head and face again, covered her sleeves, luckily the snow stopped, otherwise her clothes would be wet.

Father Sandunzi raised his whip, and the ox cart moved forward slowly.

When approaching the entrance of the village, I saw an ox cart in front of it, and other people from the village were sitting on it, all with the same purpose as them.

Sandunzi's wife couldn't help sighing, "Oh, God made this snow for Erdunzi and the others."

As she spoke, her voice hardened.

Gao Shi and Mei Niang were also infected by her emotions, and their eyes were red.

Everyone sat silently, no one spoke, but Mei Niang could still feel Gao's glances from time to time.

If a sharp knife could kill, she might be cut to pieces by now.

The snow on the road was thick, and the road was particularly difficult to walk. Sandunzi's father was driving carefully, and Mei Niang and the others were also uneasy sitting on it.

Fortunately, there was no danger. Although it was slow, it still arrived in the county safely.

However, several of them were already too cold to speak.

The county town is more lively than the countryside. Although it is snowing, there are still pedestrians on the street, and shouts can be heard from all the shops.

It can't compare to the hustle and bustle of the capital city, but Mei Niang can't help but think back to the past, especially when passing the restaurant, her heart is full of ups and downs.

However, Mei Niang looked carefully all the way down, but she was a little puzzled, why there is not a single shop in this county that specializes in selling lo-mei.

Could it be that the people here don't like to eat lo mei?
Mei Niang lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, looked up at Deng Erniu, and asked warmly, "Father, why is there no store or restaurant selling braised meat in the county?"

At the same time, her heart moved.

Maybe this is an opportunity?

Unexpectedly, before Deng Erniu had time to answer, Gao immediately rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to curse, "Ah bah, you are lazy and delicious, and you still want to eat lo-mei, who do you think you are?" , How much money have you earned for our family? If you say this, you are not afraid of being laughed at."

This is the first time that Gao scolded herself in front of outsiders, and Mei Niang's face turned cold under the hood.

Sandun Ziniang looked at Gao in surprise, then at Mei Niang with sympathy, and shook her head lightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Deng Erniu gently abducted Gao, and said displeasedly.

"Grandma, I'm just asking." Mei Niang endured it, and just explained a sentence for herself.

If it wasn't for outsiders, she wouldn't have said that.

For Gao Shi, she has given up and regretted it, so she should ask Gao Shi behind her back.

Sandunzi's father, who was driving the car, said, "Mei Niang, you may not know that you don't come to the county often. We have lo-mei here, but they can only make do with the food they make, and there is no need to set up a small stall." That's all, where is it worth opening a shop?"

Sandunzi's father has a loud voice. His family has an ox cart, and he brings people to the county when there are fairs. When there are not fairs, he will pick up some odd jobs in the county. He has stayed in the county for a long time and knows more things. .

His words made Mei Niang's eyes light up.

"Second Uncle has so much knowledge, have you tried it?" Mei Niang said with a smile.

"Hehe, he doesn't know much." Sandunziniang laughed.

Sandunzi's father was very happy when he was praised, and he said in a higher voice, "One time when he was doing the shopping for my boss, he sent a few pieces of dry stewed seeds. Eat, the owner immediately snorted and laughed, saying that I have no knowledge."

"Why did he say that?" Mei Niang became interested and asked.

Gao's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"The boss said, you really have never tasted good ones. I think that when I went to the capital, there was a Ho Ji Lo-Mei restaurant there. The lo-mei restaurant there was delicious. It was a must. Even the emperor loved it. We This food in the county can only be eaten, it is not an authentic lo-mei. Compared with He Ji, it is a heaven and a world.

At that time, I thought that the owner was bragging, but who would have expected that someone next to him heard it and immediately followed behind, saying that it was true.It's a pity that it was 20 years ago, and now even if you have the ability to go to the capital, you can't eat it. "Sandunzi said imitating the tone of the boss at the time, and at the end, he was very regretful.

Ho Kee Lo Mei!

These four words came into her head, Mei Niang seemed to have been punched in the chest, only these four words were in her mind, and she could no longer hear the words behind Sandunzi's father.

The past and the past are like passing clouds!

Mei Niang gritted her teeth tightly, feeling sad, but also a little relieved, that He Ji's reputation can be spread here, and half of her father's wish can be fulfilled.

He's father's wish back then was to spread He Ji all over the country.

"Hey, the emperor loves to eat it, so it should be really delicious." Gao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the emperor, and he agreed.

"Who says it's not?" Father Sandunzi responded with some complacency.

Seeing that Mei Niang was interested, Mrs. Deng also thought she liked to eat it, and said, "Mei Niang, let your mother make some stewed pork head meat during the Chinese New Year. Your mother is also good at cooking."

Pointing to Gao Shi beside him.

Gao shi snorted coldly from his nose.

Mei Niang nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

Soon after arriving at the county government office, Father Sandunzi parked the ox cart and walked in together.

After entering the county government office, there were also people who were handling this matter. Deng's father told the director of Deng Tianhe's name.

The master book flipped through the thick roster in front of him, then stopped, looked at the information on it and read, "Deng Tianhe, male, from Tianbu Village, his parents are still alive, he has a wife and no children, and each of the parents and wives will receive a pension of ten taels of silver. , a total of 30 taels."

Mei Niang moved her eyes, she definitely won't get any of these ten taels of silver.

Hearing the amount of silver, a faint smile appeared on Gao's face.

She was thinking about how to spend the 30 taels of silver, whether she should buy some clothes and jewelry for herself.

After pressing the fingerprints, the master bookkeeper handed the silver to Deng Erniu. Gao snatched it and weighed it in the palm of his hand, feeling very happy.

At this moment, she completely forgot the pain of losing her son!
Mei Niang looked at her appearance and shook her head slightly.

Sandunzi's parents only received 20 taels of silver, because Erdunzi was not married yet.

Mrs. Gao felt a little pity that Mei Niang didn't have a child, otherwise, she would have gained twelve taels more.

After receiving the money, several people left the county government office.

"Brother Erniu, do you want to go back now, or go for a walk in the county?" Father Sandunzi asked Deng Erniu.

Gao replied, "Look around, I also promised to buy candy for Yuanbao and Niuniu."

In fact, Mei Niang also wanted to look around, and there were not many opportunities to come to the county.

Sandunziniang also said, "I'm also going to pull a few feet of cloth back to make a little jacket for my grandson."

"Okay, then let's go, you get in the car, and when you see something you want to buy, just squeak, I will stop and you go down." Sandunzi waved his hand.

The road is wet due to snow, otherwise there is no such trouble.

Everyone got on the bullock cart again, looked at the shops along the street, and looked for what they liked.

When passing by a cloth shop, Gao pointed, "His second uncle, stop here for a while, I'll go and have a look."

"Let's go, I'll go too." Sandun Ziniang also got out of the ox cart.

"Elder-in-law, I'll go and have a look too." After telling Father Deng, Meiniang also got off the ox cart.

She didn't think about what to buy, but just wanted to see if there was any opportunity to make money quietly.

The Liuji Embroidery Workshop adjacent to the cloth village attracted Mei Niang, and she walked in.

"Are you Mei Niang?" A woman in yellow passed her by, turned her head to look at her a few times, and then called out in surprise, a smile appeared on Yuanyuan's face, and dimples appeared.

"Ma'am, who are you?" Meiniang couldn't remember who she was for a moment.
