Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 19 There is hope for the day

explain?What should I tell him, a small commoner?Meng Da shook his head in doubt. The village chief saw the disappointment on his face, and he was also a little terrified.

"Is Mr. Lin angry? Well, what should we do now?" The village head circled around the room, and the few people who came with him also showed serious expressions.

A few of them discussed, but Meng Da stood aside instead, went out to boil some boiling water and brought it in.

In the end, they decided to ask Meng Da to lead the way to the town and plead guilty to Master Lin in person.

Meng Duo could hear clearly from outside, quietly tugged on Meng Da's sleeve, and shook his head towards him.

Meng Da didn't want to go at all, but he couldn't think of a reason to lie for a while, so he was so anxious that his face was flushed, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead in winter.

"Uncle, why do you have a fever? It must be because of the wind and cold in the mountains a few days ago, and the fact that there was no quilt for the past two days, and you went to the town to toss it, which is bad. The only one at home is uncle, What if you are sick?" Meng Duo came in, covering his face and sobbing softly.

The village chief's eyes were full of disgust when he saw this, but it was difficult to say anything in words.Anyway, everyone in the town knew about the Lin family, so he took a few people there.

What kind of place is the Lin Mansion, in fact, any cat or dog can enter?What kind of person is Mr. Lin? Naturally, he can't meet a bullshit village chief who he doesn't know.

Village head Chen made small talk with others in the concierge, and finally saw Lin Zhuang.Hearing his purpose, Lin Zhuang couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Chen, right?" Lin Zhuang couldn't help snorting coldly, standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "Our master came back to Ding You, and kept the door closed. A few days ago, the county magistrate came to visit, and our master was not feeling well. No, Village Chief Chen should go back. As for being angry..."

He saw Village Chief Chen straighten up when he heard this, his face was full of panic, and then he said with a smile: "Although our master came back to Ding You, he is a busy man."

The implication is that people don't have time to pay attention to him at all, he is just a village chief, he really thinks that he is someone, and he comes here to plead guilty, without weighing his own weight!

Hearing this, Village Chief Chen didn't understand because he was missing strings, and his face was embarrassing.Before he could speak again, as soon as he turned around and went in, the door closed with a bang.

Village head Chen was used to walking sideways in the village, and he was really upset when he touched his nose, but he didn't even have the right to be angry, so he could only sneak back to Chenjia Village in despair.

When he got back to his own home, he dared to get angry, and was so angry that he dropped his teacup and scolded the girl.

Chen An has always been the right-hand man of the village chief, and he came up with many bad ideas.Seeing that the village chief was angry, he hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's all thanks to that bastard Meng Da. Master Lin is so angry that he can't say anything. After all, he is the one who carried Master Lin back. Look at his poor house. Like pig food, good people can't stand it, let alone someone like Master Lin? I heard that Master Lin gave him 25 taels of silver. Isn't that angry? What is the village head in front of the mayor? He humbly came to the door with a gift to plead guilty, but Mr. Lin would not even let him enter the house. I think the village head is abducted by Meng Da!"

He saw that the village head listened in, and added more details, saying that it was nothing more than the matter of the snake.

"That boy Meng Da looks honest, but in fact he is full of twists and turns. He said that the snake has a spirit, and it will be unlucky for those who are not destined to cling to it. I think it is just trying to get a good price. If the village chief saves it with snake gall Master Lin, let alone the future of the village chief, everyone in the Chen family village followed suit! Alas, god damn it, all the bad things happened to him!"

Hearing these words, the village chief hated Meng Da so much that his teeth itch, and he had a grudge in his heart.

Meng Da didn't know about all this, and was thinking about how to use the 25 taels of silver in his hand.First of all, we have to pay back the famine, and then buy some food for preparation. After these expenses, there will be about 15 taels left.For the Meng family, this is a lot of money!

"You keep the money." Meng Da handed 15 taels to Meng Duo.

Meng Duo was taken aback when he saw this, "I dare not take it!"

"Our family's money is naturally entrusted to you to keep. Is it possible that I, a big man, can take it wherever I go? You don't have to push, and there will be a lot of money for you to take care of in the future. I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you. How to use it is up to you." Meng Da was in a good mood and said with a smile.

She hesitated for a moment, put away the money and said, "Success! I'll hand it over when my sister-in-law comes in. Although the famine in our family is gone now, we don't have to worry about going hungry, but there are still two things that need to be done right now."

Meng Da smiled and looked at her, and heard her continue to say: "The roof of our house needs to be repaired, and we have to prepare a three-color gift for Master Chen."

Sanchun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he knew that he was going to send him to school.

"It's not easy to break the ground in winter, so wait until the spring to build the house. I plan to build another one on the west side, after all, it's inconvenient to go out and go in. As for the matter of studying in the spring, we'll wait until the new year is over." Meng laughed and replied, "You It’s all in your head, it seems that it’s right to hand over the money to you.”

Meng Duo couldn't help but blush when he heard his uncle praise him, and his heart was full of hope.Seeing that life at home is getting better, my whole body is full of strength.

"There is still a pheasant in the firewood room. I'll go and clean it up later. Let's eat it ourselves." Meng Da told Meng Duo to boil water.

Meng Duo was about to say something, but he held back when he saw the aunt's drooling.

She went to light the fire, Sanchun fanned it with a cattail fan, Siya helped carry the firewood, and the whole family mobilized.

"Uncle, keep those feathers, it's the warmest to make a small mattress." Meng Duo scooped up a scoop of boiling water and poured it on the pheasant, and a fishy smell came out immediately.

Meng Da quickly plucked the feathers, Siya was playing in the yard with the pheasant tail feathers, and Sanchun was helping out decently.

Meng Duo rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do something, but Meng Da said: "Don't do it, it's dirty, just watch it."

Meng Da moved very quickly, and pulled out the chicken liver, chicken heart, and chicken intestines by dissection.He asked Meng Duo to fetch the salt, rubbed the chicken intestines back and forth with coarse salt, and cleaned them several times.

Looking at the fair and clean meat, the whole family is smiling.

"I'll do the rest of the work, you wash your hands and rest." Meng Duo moved the cutting board under the window and took out a small tank.

She took the chicken off the bone and cut it into roughly sized pieces to spread in the tins.Sprinkle a handful of salt on each layer, and finally seal the mouth of the jar with wet mud.

"Second sister-in-law, I want to eat meat!" Siya said pitifully with a crying voice when she saw it.

Seeing it, Meng Duo replied with a smile: "Don't worry, you'll enjoy it for sure! You can play, and I'll call you when it's done."
