Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 60 Him?or him? (2)
In the old year, Meng Duo often went to and from Chen's house, and he never saw any uncle.From the tone of Aunt Chen's grandma, this uncle should be brother Xuan's father, the head of the family.

Aunt Chen's grandma married far away in the capital, and she returned to her hometown to recuperate because of her poor health.Listening to the conversation of the girl and the mother-in-law, it seems that this uncle has business in various places, and he lives in the house here for several months a year.

But Meng Duo only came to do odd jobs to earn a few households, and he didn't care about the family's affairs.She didn't ask too much, and still stayed in the house doing her work honestly.

It was almost noon in a blink of an eye, Meng Duo got up and went to the latrine.When I came out, I heard the neighing of horses and the sound of someone beating and scolding.

She didn't want to be nosy, and she didn't want to be curious in other people's houses.But before she could turn around and go back, she heard a deep voice, "Nonsense, BMW horses are more expensive than you, how can they be whipped?"

"Eldest young master, this horse does not eat or drink and keeps kicking..."

"Crack!" The sound of slapping the mouth quickly, "The young master taught you that you are being flattered, but you are so stubborn! This horse is hard to find in the world. If it loses a hair, I will wait to use your head to make up for it."

"The villain must do his best, please rest assured, young master!" The man replied with obvious fear in his voice.

Meng Duo heard some kind of BMW, and heard that the young master's voice was somewhat familiar, so he took two steps over there and stretched his head to look over.

A pair of sharp and sinister eyes happened to look over, and Meng Duo's heart sank in fright, and he turned around and left in a panic.

Back in the room, she thought about the appearance of the man just now, and in a trance, she was a man in his twenties.What impressed her the most was his eyes, and his pale and bloodless face, which made people feel like meeting a ghost in broad daylight.

She shuddered and shook her head to forget what she had just seen.The little girl came in with food, she took a few bites indiscriminately, and asked Grandma Chen for half a day off.

Aunt Chen heard that she was going to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so she told the girl to bring some of the rest with Brother Xuan.

"I see that your uncle is a smart kid, he should read some books and understand the truth." She said with a smile, "It's a pity that these things are for nothing, let him use them."

"Why do you want to be favored by your aunt again and again?" Meng Duo saw that the pen, ink and inkstone stand were [-]% new, and the piles of rice paper were even more soft and delicate.Although she didn't understand these things, she could see that they were good things.

The pomegranate on the side saw it and said with a smile: "My aunt is an honest person, she must be sincere when she tells you, you just accept it. On weekdays, when our servants are a little more attentive, my aunt will reward you, the most generous and sympathetic servant. Is there anyone in the whole family who doesn't miss my aunt?"

"Little Hoof, have you forgotten that I beat you a few days ago?" Aunt Chen obviously enjoyed hearing this, and the smile on her face increased.

Pomegranate hurriedly replied: "It's just a beating, it's just that my aunt turned around and raised her hand to touch the slave girl's head. The servant girl didn't care much, but the aunt's face changed first. You saw that the fingernails scratched a small piece of the servant girl's neck You skin, your eyes are red. The slaves who follow my aunt, who doesn't know that you are kind-hearted like a Bodhisattva, and never beat or scolded us. The servants who can serve by my aunt's side are the blessings accumulated in the previous life!"

"You poor-mouthed girl, you're making noise in front of me. Let me tell you something, but you're going to say something. Only when I marry you off can my ears be clean!"

After hearing this, Pomegranate blushed, turned around and opened the curtain to go out.

"Look, what an unruly hoof, he wants to subdue me seriously without even saying a word!" Aunt Chen laughed.

Meng Duo knew that this pomegranate was the most proud person in front of Aunt Chen, so she naturally spoke casually, but she didn't dare to follow suit.

Although Chen's aunt gave her pens, inks, papers and inkstones, she still granted her a half-day leave.

Meng Duo went straight to the study when she left Chen's mansion. It was the first time she went to such a place. Looking at the Four Treasures of the Study and books inside, her eyes lit up with joy.

She didn't dare to inquire about the price, and asked the boy where the cheapest things were and how much they cost.

She frowned when she asked about it, the brushes and inkstones could last longer if used carefully, but the ink and paper were consumables.Don't look at the fact that it's only a few coppers per copy, but you can't afford to use it every day. This is simply burning money.

Meng Duo was distressed, but he still bought some ink and paper. The quality of the rice paper was obviously not as good as the ones gifted by Aunt Chen.She saw an inkstone that was no different from the one in her bag, and when she asked for a tael of silver, she immediately clicked her tongue in fright.

She walked around the street for a while, not daring to buy anything, and kept a close eye on the latest styles and patterns of clothes, keeping them all in her heart.When it was time to go back, she went to the meeting place.

When leaving the town, the interrogation at the intersection became more stringent. The daughters-in-law who went with them bought a lot of things, and their baggage was picked and searched carefully.

It took almost an incense stick of time to check before letting them go. Everyone complained while packing their bags in the carriage, and several of them said they didn't plan to come to town in the near future.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "I heard that they will leave tomorrow, all the way to the south."

"Such a strict investigation, could it be that some kind of gangster is caught?" someone said suddenly.

"Our place has always been peaceful, so why did robbers come out suddenly? Besides, they are not dressed as officials, and the government didn't post notices. I don't think that's the case. I guess there are still big people in the town, so they are so strict because they are afraid of something happening. .As soon as the big shots left, they followed suit."

"We are just ordinary people, and we don't live in the town. Don't go out at night, and stay together during the day, so nothing will happen. Talk nonsense about those things, and be careful not to cause trouble!"

"Yes, let's stop talking!" the timid man said hastily.

Meng Duo was speechless, remembering what he saw and heard in the Chen Mansion.Could it be that the big man is the young master who lives in the Chen Mansion?Isn't he leaving tomorrow?

But none of this had anything to do with her. Instead, she thought about things in her own family.I don't know why, since last night, Meng Da has been a little strange, his speech is not as casual as usual, and he can't find anyone when he goes in and out. Could it be that he has something to hide from himself?

Meng Duo thought wildly of the entrance of the village, got out of the carriage and went home.As soon as she entered the yard, she heard movement in the firewood room. The words "Jiangyang Bandit" came to her mind, and she broke into a cold sweat and dared not move.

After a while, the movement in the firewood room became louder.

"Uncle, is that you?" Meng Duo asked in a trembling voice, and walked over lightly.

She strained her ears to listen, but couldn't hear anything.Could it be a mouse?She thought of the jar of bacon marinated in the firewood room, and hurriedly opened the door and entered without thinking about anything else.

I saw a black figure inside, squatting on the ground with his back facing her, stuffing something into his mouth.
