Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 48
"How is it? Is it not good-looking?" Meng Duo asked shyly, with two red clouds on his cheeks.

Meng Dafei glanced at it quickly, with a smile on his lips, "Boss, how much is this hairpin?"

"It's not expensive, just one tael of silver!" The boss held out a finger.

Meng Duo's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he quickly took off the hairpin, "It's so expensive, I won't buy it."

"Don't worry, ma'am, we have to discuss it. You wear it so beautifully. Anyone who wears it will ask where you bought it. I will sell it to you if I make less money. It's right to give me a proof." In business, he is articulate and can say, "Don't look at this simple style, but it takes a lot of work. Ordinary wood is not good, and the paint on it is unusual. It is guaranteed not to fade in the wind and rain. Look at this sculpture again. The textures on the petals are all clear, and it is even more laborious.”

"Boss, hurry up and come up with a price. If we think it's not good, we can let it go and leave without delaying you to continue selling." Xiao Qiang was a little impatient when he heard his endless chatter.

"Hehe, how about this, eighty Wen can't be less." The boss accepted it as soon as he saw it, and it was twenty Wen less for one mouthful, but Meng Duo still thought it was too expensive.

She put down the hairpin and said that she refused to buy it, so the boss had to lower the price again, "I did a business that lost money today, ah, I'm really suffocated after talking for so long that I can't sell it. Well, seventy yuan Walk!"

"Forty Wen, if you don't sell it, forget it!" Meng Da, who had been speechless, said.

"Sixty Wen."

"forty!"

"Fifty Wen."

"forty!"

"This... oh, 45 Wen! It really can't be less."

"Come on, let's not go and see."

"Guest officer... oh...forty Wen is forty Wen." Seeing that Meng Da turned around and was about to leave, the old man hurriedly called him back.

But in the end, he didn't sell well, with a tangled face, and said with a mournful face while putting it in the box: "I have sold headwear and jewelry for half my life, and I have seen many loving couples come to buy them together. I thought I could make a lot of money today." A sum, who would have thought that the young master is a master who can bargain. This little lady is so lucky, married a husband who is both a rake for money and a box for saving money, and she will not worry about getting rich!"

Meng Duo's expression turned ugly when he heard this, and he turned and left, Sanchun hurriedly followed.Meng Da immediately chased after him, and the boss was confused when he saw it, "Hey, guest officer, I haven't got the hairpin yet! Hey... Is this a buy or not? After talking about the price for a long time, it's really..."

"I still want to sell something, so it's good if I didn't beat you up!" Xiao Qiang interrupted his complaint, "She is obviously an uncle and brother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chang Mengduo lost interest in shopping, Meng Da stared at her face and dared not speak.Xiao Qiang caught up with him with a playful smile and said a few words, which dispelled the embarrassing atmosphere a lot.

"It's getting late, and it will take some time to go back. Let's go back." Xiao Qiang suggested, and Meng Tianran agreed.

A group of people returned to the open space, paid five cents to get the donkey cart, put on the whips and went back.There is some snow on the road, it will take more time than before.

Seeing that Siya and Sanchun were drowsy, Meng Da hurriedly said, "It's such a cold day that you will catch a cold when you fall asleep."

"I'm sleepy." Siya rubbed her eyes and replied with a nasal voice.

Seeing this, Meng Duo hurriedly coaxed her, "Sister-in-law, don't sleep, I'll sing you a folk song." Then he hummed softly.

Her voice is soft and beautiful, and the folk songs that I often hear on weekdays become different in her mouth.

Si Ya pricked up her ears to listen, and after a while she began to sing along.The melodious singing voice floating on the mountain road, the rumble of the wheels, and the donkey's hooves stepping on the snow are surprisingly harmonious and pleasant to hear.

In the middle of the night, Meng Da and others rushed back to Chenjiacun, packed up and went to sleep.

It is reasonable to say that after working all day and half night, he should be sleepy and tired, but Meng Da stared and couldn't sleep.

He turned back and forth like making pancakes, always thinking about what the old man selling hairpins said in his ears.Is this a demonic obstacle?Ambassador Meng pinched the base of his thigh so hard that he almost cried out in pain.At the same time, the brain suddenly cleared up, the heart gradually calmed down, and the sleepiness gradually came up.

The next day he opened his eyes early, went to warm a pot of water first, and waited until Meng Duo got up before going to the yard to chop firewood.

Meng Duo washed his head and face with warm water, and then started washing rice for cooking.There was nothing to do in the first month, so she went to visit Widow Chen's house after cleaning up inside and out.

Xiao Qiang came to settle accounts with Meng Da. He took the money for selling lanterns and candied melons yesterday, and now it's time to divide them.

Neither of them could write, but luckily they could count. After doing some calculations, they sold a total of eight taels of silver.Excluding the cost of three taels and five taels, I made a full profit of more than five taels.According to the seven to three points agreed before, Xiao Qiang went one or two more points.

He wanted to return the money to the famine. Meng Da saw it and said, "I will buy seeds in the spring, so you should keep it. When the grain is sold last autumn, I can pay it back at once."

"Listen to Brother Meng." He happily put it away, "I have been here for half a day, why don't I see my second sister-in-law, Sanchun, and Siya?"

"Oh, they went out to visit." Meng Da brought over the bamboo basket, which contained peanuts and melon seeds fried in a large pot with sand.

Xiao Qiang laughed when he heard this, blinked his eyes and said: "Actually, after all, this second sister-in-law's screaming is not right, and she has never even passed Minglu. Have you ever thought about how to live in the future, Brother Meng? Always make her a widow No, not even if there is no woman in the house. Besides, the women who come outside don’t know what kind of temperament they are, so don’t make Sanchun and Siya angry at that time. If you want me to say, it’s better if the meat rots in the pot..."

"Fart your mother!" Meng Da was annoyed, "If I hear you say such things again in the future, it will be the end of our brothers!"

Xiao Qiang was taken aback, seeing that his eyes were red and he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't run away quickly for a moment.

Widow Chen's house has never been visited by anyone, so Meng Duo could not wait to talk to her.There was nothing to do this first month, and the two of them often got together.Occasionally, Widow Chen went to Meng Duo's house, but if Meng Da was at home, she hurriedly avoided.

The fat aunt next door saw it twice, and then gossiped in private, and rumors spread quickly in the small village.

There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow, especially the young and beautiful widow Chen, so naturally there are many imaginary stories.Coupled with the previous turmoil, someone behind the scenes fueled the flames, and the rumors intensified.

Wherever Meng Duo went, he could hear people commenting, saying that Widow Chen is a slut, and she has hooked up with Meng Da long ago, otherwise why would she go all out to trade land with her?What's more, they also said that Fuwa and Meng Da looked alike, and the nose and eyes were carved out of the same mold, so they were father and son!
It is said that saliva can drown people, and the relationship between men and women has always been unclear.Meng Da and Widow Chen were clearly innocent, but there were a hundred mouths to argue but no one listened.Everyone was interested in these messy things, and they became more and more enthralled, and some people secretly talked about their tryst, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
