Farming is worse than raising monks

Chapter 8 Women Are Not Good Things
The light was too dim, and Mei Niang couldn't tell whether the little black shadow was a person or an object.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he was inexplicably curious.

Mei Niang moved slightly, and found a stick beside her feet, she quickly picked it up and held it in her hand.

Then he asked cautiously, "Who is that in front?"

It was very quiet all around, although Mei Niang's voice was not loud, it was enough for the shadow to hear.

Hei Ying moved when he heard the sound, and looked towards Meiniang, "It's a poor monk."

It is a soft and waxy child's voice, very pleasant to the ear.

Mei Niang immediately remembered that she had heard this voice before, if she remembered correctly, it should be the little monk who came to Deng's house for alms that morning.

She put down the stick in her hand, lifted her skirt and walked over quickly.

"Little master, it's so late, why are you staying here alone, it's so cold." Meiniang asked softly.

It's a pity that the night was too dark, even if she got closer, she could only vaguely discern that there was indeed a child in front of her, only reaching her waist height.

But he couldn't see his facial features clearly, so he didn't know what he looked like, but his big bald head was faintly glowing.

Hearing this, the little monk raised his head and looked at Mei Niang, but he saw her face clearly.

A kind-hearted patroness!
"Why does the benefactor go out so late, isn't she afraid of the wild wolves in the mountains?" the little monk asked, his clear and pure black eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

Hearing the wild wolf, Meiniang was really startled, and hurriedly looked around.

"Hee hee." Seeing Mei Niang like this, the little monk couldn't help being happy, "I'm just kidding, I'm not afraid of wild wolves, I'm here."

Mei Niang smiled and shook her head, "Little Master, you are also naughty, yes, Little Master hasn't said why you are here yet? Have you eaten yet?"

The little monk pouted and said, "I will wait for my master."

"Ah, wait for your master, where did your master go?" Meiniang asked softly.

For some reason, talking to the little monk gave me a warm feeling when I was with my son.

"I don't know where Master has gone. He hasn't returned for a long time." The little monk shook his head, his black eyes were foggy, and his soft voice became moist.

Mei Niang felt a little pain in her heart when she heard his aggrieved voice.

I feel sorry for the little monk.

"Good boy, which temple do you practice in, where are the other brothers?" Meiniang asked the little monk, subconsciously wanting to hug him.

But the little monk avoided his body, waved his hands and said, "Female benefactor, don't do this, the master said, the male benefactor can't accept kisses."

Mei Niang couldn't see his face clearly, but she could see his transparent eyes, imagining his expression at this moment, she couldn't help but smile.

This is her first knowing smile, from the bottom of her heart.

"Silly boy, what's your name and how old are you?" Mei Niang asked with a smile.

Her originally heavy and depressed mood suddenly became lighter, as if the haze that was suppressed in her heart was pulled out by hand.

"Amitabha, poor monk named Jiusi, six years old this year, I don't know the name of the temple." The young monk said seriously.

"Hehe, Jiusi, what a name." Meiniang responded with a smile, stroking his bald head.

Jiusi turned her head with a blushing face, and said seriously again, "Female benefactor, whether men and women can kiss or not, my master said."

"Pfft, silly Jiusi, I can even be your mother, it's not considered a relationship between a man and a woman, you know?" Mei Niang said with a smile.

"Really?" Jiusi asked, blinking her big watery eyes.

"Well, of course." Mei Niang also nodded seriously, and patted his bald head again.

Jiusi frowned and thought for a while, then seriously shook his head, "No, Master never said that. Master said that women are not good things and can deceive people."

His big pure eyes immediately became vigilant, "Female benefactor, you lied to Jiusi."

There was a drop of cold sweat on Mei Niang's forehead.

This master's words are really too much, why are women not good things?
"Jiusi, I didn't lie to you, by the way, you are hungry, why don't you come back with me and have something to eat." Mei Niang asked.

Jiu Si shook his head, "Not hungry."

"Jiu Si, Jiu Si..." There was a voice getting closer and closer, it was a man's voice.

"Senior brother." Jiu Si responded loudly, and said to Mei Niang, "My senior brother is here."

"Well, then go back quickly, don't catch a cold." Mei Niang said with concern.

"Female benefactor, go home too, beware of wild wolves." Jiusi made a playful grimace.

Although Mei Niang couldn't see his grimace, she still nodded with a smile, "Understood, be careful."

While speaking, Jiusi's senior brother had already run over, and said angrily, "Jiusi, you silly boy, why are you running around down the mountain again, go back quickly."

Jiusi waved to Mei Niang, and followed his senior brother.

Mei Niang waited for them to go far away before turning around and walking back. Although she didn't know what Jiu Si looked like, she was sure that he must be a very cute child.

She was in a very happy mood, her steps were brisk, and suddenly her face turned cold.

Looking carefully, it turned out that it was snowing, and the white snowflakes fell lightly on the leaves, making a slight sound.

"Yo, it's Mei Niang, it's so late, why come out alone?" Halfway from home, a man was walking up the slope with a small bamboo cage and tools in his hands.

Down the slope is the field of Tianbu Village.

"Brother Sizhu, what are you doing here?" Mei Niang recognized the man, his name was Liu Sizhu, and he was a hunter in the village.

"It's digging eels." Liu Sizhu said with a simple smile.

Mei Niang nodded slightly, said nothing, and continued to walk forward.

And Liu Sizhu followed silently, saying something occasionally, and Mei Niang responded.

However, in Deng's family, seeing that Mei Niang went away first and ignored her, Gao's expression immediately became distorted.

With a 'pop' sound, she slammed the chopsticks on the table, making Zhang Xiaolian's heart tremble in fright.

"Lin Meiniang, get the hell out of here, I haven't finished talking yet, how dare you ignore me, how can you be a daughter-in-law like this. I said a long time ago, that old bitch of the Fang family can't give birth to good things , Sangmen star, broom star..." Gao started his vicious attack again.

It's a pity that Mei Niang was not at home, so she couldn't hear her curses at all.

"His mother, don't scold me so harshly, Mei Niang is also from our Deng family." Father Deng hurriedly advised.

"Deng Erniu, shut up for my old lady and stop talking nonsense. Look, Lin Meiniang is like our Deng family. Our old Deng family doesn't have such a broom star." Gao's triangular eyes glared at Deng Erniu angrily.

Deng Erniu sighed and lowered his head to eat.

Hu Cuihong twitched her lips and said, "Mother is right, Mei Niang shouldn't have left the banquet anyway, she doesn't look like a daughter-in-law at all."

"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law is feeling sad, she has lost a lot of weight these days." Zhang Xiaolian argued for Mei Niang in a low voice.

"You chicken that doesn't lay eggs, you can't keep your mouth shut. You have the ability to gossip, why don't you have the ability to lay an egg and show it to my mother?" Gao pointed at Zhang Xiaolian again.

Zhang Xiaolian immediately lowered her head aggrieved.

Hu Cuihong smiled triumphantly.

Deng Tianshui glared at Zhang Xiaolian fiercely, and scolded, "Eating your food, you talk too much about everything, married you for several years, and didn't give me a boy and a half girl."

"That's right, third sister-in-law, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to speak for second sister-in-law, you're really boring yourself, huh!" Deng Tianzhen sneered at Zhang Xiaolian with the corners of her mouth curled up.

Hu Cuihong raised her chin proudly and said, "Sister Lian, I think you have been with Mei Niang for a long time, and her bad luck has passed on you so that you cannot have children. In the future, you should stay away from her Hello."

"Cuihong's words make sense, Zhang Xiaolian, stay away from Meiniang Lin from now on, if you see the two of you arguing together again, I'll see how I deal with you. If you don't lay eggs next year, I'll see you I can't stop you." Gao said with a dark face.

Zhang Xiaolian couldn't hold back her tears, she pushed the bowl and chopsticks in, and said in a low voice, "I'm full too."

Then she covered her mouth and ran out.

"Hey, I really hit the spot. You see, Xiaolian and Mei Niang started to learn, and Niang just said a word, and then ran away in anger." Hu Cuihong immediately pointed to Zhang Xiaolian's back and said.

The telltale signs of these words are particularly obvious.

Deng Tianshui said with some displeasure, "Sister-in-law, can you stop bringing Xiaolian and sister-in-law together? What do you mean by that?"

"Third brother, what do you mean pulling Xiaolian and Mei Niang together? They are already on good terms as if wearing a pair of trousers, so I need to pull it off." Hu Cuihong squinted at Deng Tianshui and said with a curled lip.

Gao's face, which was already stretched like the sole of a shoe, stretched even longer now.

"Tianzhen, it's really lawless to call Lin Meiniang to you. I haven't finished my words yet, so let her roll here." Gao said with a dark face.

"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it after dinner," Deng's father said.

"Yes, mother, let's eat first, the food is cold." Deng Tianshan also persuaded.

Gao Shi thought about it for a while, so she lowered her head and went to eat.

After eating, Gao Shi immediately stood under the dripping eaves of the main room and shouted, "Lin Meiniang, Zhang Xiaolian, where are you two? Why don't you wash the dishes?"

Zhang Xiaolian, who was hiding in the house crying sadly, had no choice but to wipe away her tears, opened the door and walked out.

Mrs. Gao quickly realized that something was wrong. Meiniang didn't move at all, so she hurried to knock on the door, "Lin Meiniang, you're dead, come out quickly."

But after knocking for a long time, there was no response at all. After pushing hard, the door opened, only to find that there was no one in the room.

Gao's eyes narrowed immediately.
