Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 8

When he saw Pang Pang rushing into his house with a knife and slapping such a heavy hand on a nine-year-old child, the anger that had been suppressed burst out immediately.At that time, he really had the idea of ​​fighting to the death with Pang Da, but after hearing Meng Duo's words, he thought that if he really died, the three of them would suffer in the world, and he felt that it would be more useless to die like that, let alone a man !
He thought about it for a long time, and he had some ideas in his mind.Hei Liu, a rascal in Piansheng Village, heard that the Meng family had a valuable snake, so he wanted to steal it.According to Meng Da's energy of being irritated during the day, if he is not killed, he will be beaten to a disability.

But after chasing to the gate of the courtyard, Meng Da changed his mind, he had to think through everything and not be impulsive.The news that snakes in his house are very valuable will soon spread, and if he hurts a black six, white six, and yellow six, he has to find a way to solve it all at once.What's more, if he beat Hei Liu for good or bad, he would be falsely accused, and he would suffer if he couldn't tell.

He let Hei Liu go, and only thought of an idea when it was almost dawn.Meng Da had never studied, and he didn't know a single word, but he remembered a few plays that Murakami invited the troupe to sing during the Chinese New Year.Others watched the excitement and listened to the singing, but he liked to think about the storyline in it, but he didn't expect to be inspired by it right now, and forced himself to come up with a solution.

Meng Duo went to Pang Da's house with the pheasant, and the fat aunt was lying in the house, annoyed that the old men didn't vent their anger on her, and even beat the village chief.

"Is Aunt Fat there? I'm going in." Seeing that the courtyard door was open, Meng Duo entered the courtyard and yelled twice before entering the house.

The fat aunt immediately became angry when she heard that it was Meng Duo, but when she saw Meng Duo's smiling face and the pheasant in her hand, her anger disappeared immediately.

Not only does she like to gossip everywhere, but she also likes to take advantage of small things. When she sees a pheasant, she feels that it is worth the money she made.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with your hand, let alone a smiling person with a gift.The fat aunt looked at the pheasant that was still fluttering its wings, and made Meng Duo sit down and talk after humming twice.

"I surprised my aunt yesterday." Meng Duo resisted the disgust in his heart and said, "Uncle killed a pheasant and asked me to send it to my aunt to mend her body. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I am young and ignorant. I have to take care of my aunt."

"I'm older than you, so I should take care of you. If you were so sensible yesterday, why did you let me worry and get hurt in vain?" Aunt Fat put on a loving look.

Meng Duo used her words to continue, and learned about Meng's second child's entrusting a dream.

"My aunt was frightened, and the village head was injured. I'm afraid it's because of the snake. There was someone trying to steal the snake yesterday. I don't know what kind of retribution it will be. Mr. Chen and the others said that the snake is valuable. But no matter how valuable it is, no one dares to buy it. It’s just nonsense. I think this snake is a hedgehog held in the palm of my hand. It’s a pity to throw it away, but I’m still panicked while holding it! Alas, uncle was so worried that he didn’t sleep well all night.”

Aunt Fat likes to hear such irrelevant things the most, and she immediately sat up from the kang, her eyes gleaming.

"Oh, there is such a thing, I don't know." She tried her best to find out what happened to any family in the village, and then spread it to everyone in the village.Everyone gave her a nickname, "Big Horn".

But now that such a big thing happened in the Meng family, she didn't know anything about it, which made her extremely annoyed.

"Oh, uncle, don't allow me to talk nonsense... I still hope that the snake can be sold for a good price. If everyone in the village knows... Oh, I'm going back." Leave in a hurry.

The fat aunt didn't keep her any longer, and immediately got up and packed up and went to Widow Li's house.In less than a stick of incense, the snake Meng Da caught had a spirituality, and the whole village knew that people who had no fate would suffer disaster if they touched it.Her nose is still very sharp, and she quickly guessed that Hei Liu was the one who tried to steal the snake, and the stories she made up were more exciting than storytelling.

Hei Liu sneaked into Meng's house in the middle of the night, not only failed to steal the snake, but also angered the spirit snake and sent the son and grandson of the snake into his bed, scaring Hei Liu into the yard naked.The snake caught by the Meng family is not a vulgar thing, anyone who touches it will be unlucky, at the slightest, they will be injured, and at the worst, they will lose their lives!

Boss Meng dared to kill the spirit snake, he will not end well.It is best to stay away from their family to avoid bad luck.

There was no truth for two and a half miles, and the story of the Meng family was spread everywhere by the fat aunt, and it was passed on from time to time, until finally it became miraculous.Everyone looked at the two dilapidated houses of the Meng family, as if they saw a goblin who could eat people.No one thought about the snake anymore, not even anyone who passed by Meng's house.

Meng Da was both happy and disappointed. The happy thing was that his method worked, and no one sneaked in at night anymore. The sad thing was that no one cared about the snake, even if it was thrown outside, no one would pick it up.The ten taels of silver in hand flew away, the roof was not repaired with money, and the rice tank was about to bottom out. This winter is hard!

"Don't worry, uncle, it should be that ours can't escape no matter what." Meng Duo comforted softly, "God can't starve the blind sparrow to death, there will always be a way."

Anyway, the snake was a windfall, so it was assumed that he had never caught it.Meng Da peeled off the snake skin, and hung the snake meat and snake gall in a ventilated place to dry.Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and colder, so I don't worry about not being able to let it go.

He went to the river to cut some bundles of reeds, Meng Duo weaved them into reed mats and spread them on the roof, and pressed them with big stones around them, which could provide a little shelter from the wind and cold.I'm afraid I can't stand the rain, but let's count it as a while.

Unexpectedly, there was an autumn rain in the middle of the night, and the rain came and went quickly, but when it was sunny outside, the house started ticking non-stop.

There were pots and pots on the kang, Meng Duo was leaning against the northwest corner with Si Ya in his arms, San Chun sat aside, and Meng Da sat on a chair on the ground.

"Uncle, why don't you go to the kang to sleep for a while. Tomorrow you have to go hunting in the mountains, so lack of sleep is not enough." Meng Duo was about to go to the field.

Meng Da shook his head, "I'm such a big lump, it's uncomfortable to nest in a corner. Anyway, it's almost dawn, I'm going to dry the firewood." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

He went to the firewood house, carried the firewood, which had been soaked by the rain, into the yard, and opened it up to spread it out.He looked at the woodshed in the open air, and then at the dilapidated east house, feeling guilty, guilty and sad.

As the pillar of the family, he not only failed to give his family a good life, but also failed to give them a shelter from the wind and rain.He wanted to understand some truths, but people living in the world can't solve anything just by having ideas.Right now, he urgently needs to get some money back.

He thought about it, and decided to go to the town again. If the shopkeeper of Yishoutang offered another ten taels of silver, no, he would sell the snake for only five taels.

Meng Duo hugged Siya, and Sanchun rested his head on her shoulder.Looking at the two children who were sleeping extremely unsteadily, she felt a little uncomfortable.Relying on her memories of her previous life, she prevented Meng Da from selling snakes.But her rebirth is an anomaly. Can everything really repeat itself like the previous life?
