The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 33
Swallow likes Wen Bao very much, so he would run to Wen Bao's house almost every day. This day, Swallow ran to Wen Bao's house as usual, but this time, as soon as he arrived at Wen Bao's house, Swallow said something that surprised Wen Bao.

"You said Song Lan is back?"

It's no wonder Wen Bao was surprised, but Song Lan's current status is too special. Zhou Hu's concubine, a concubine, can go back to her mother's house so casually?
Could it be that what she learned about the ancient etiquette was all deceitful?

Yanzi was panting from running, and after drinking a bowl of sugar water that Wen Bao handed over, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Well, I'm back, and there's a woman and a maid who came back with me."

Swallows don't tell lies, so these things must be true.

Thinking of this, Wen Bao couldn't help wondering how this Song Lan did it.

But although she was curious, she clearly knew that she didn't like Song Lan, so no matter what, she didn't want to provoke this person.

It's just that Wen Bao didn't expect that if she didn't provoke Song Lan, Song Lan would take the initiative to provoke her.

Not long after Yanzi arrived at Wen Bao's house, Song Lan boarded Wen Bao's house with a woman and a little maid.

Because Song Dalang was at home and Swallow had just arrived, the courtyard door of Wen Bao’s house was just wide open. When Wen Bao, who was sitting at the entrance of his cave and sewing carefully, and Swallow, who was accompanying Wen Bao, found his visitor, the three of them Already standing in his own yard.

Wen Bao could clearly see the arrogance and disdain on Song Lan's face at this time, Wen Bao shifted his gaze from Song Lan to the two people following her.

"Is something wrong?"

Wen Bao just sat like this. Although he didn't get up, he looked as imposing as Song Lan who was standing up.

Song Lan didn't expect Wen Bao to react like this. Seeing that she was dressed so delicately, shouldn't Wen Bao be ashamed?
Song Lan's face was full of her emotions, Yanzi might not be able to see it when she was young, but Wen Bao saw all of it.

Shame, why should she be ashamed?

This Song Lan's outfit is indeed good, but that can only deceive people who don't understand. People like Wen Bao who have seen good things can tell at a glance that Song Lan's outfit looks good, but it is not at all. Not worth much money.

Thinking of the things in his dowry, Wen Bao's face remained unchanged.

"Is this how you treat guests?"

Song Lan was talking, and raised her hand intentionally or unintentionally to reveal that she still had jewelry on her head.

Seeing Song Lan's actions, Wen Bao's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly, "Are you a guest?"

It was Wen Bao's casual attitude that immediately made Song Lan want to jump in anger.

And because of Wen Bao's attitude, the mother-in-law who followed Song Lan finally stopped looking at Song Dalang's family and looked at Wen Bao.

The woman looked at Wen Bao and said, "Miss Wen, this is my Aunt Lan."

After the mother-in-law said such a sentence, she waited for Wen Bao to answer, but Wen Bao looked at Song Lan who raised her head high after the mother-in-law spoke, and just said softly: "Oh."

There were no more words, but this soft "oh", made Song Lan suddenly have the idea of ​​rushing to tear Wen Bao's hypocrisy.

Yes, from Song Lan's point of view, it's impossible for Wen Bao not to be jealous when he sees her so beautiful, so if she doesn't show jealousy, it must be well covered up.

Wen Bao didn't know that Song Lan in front of her had so many associations. She didn't like Song Lan, so after seeing the group of them and finding that they didn't want to leave, she said directly, "Is there anything else?"

As soon as she made it clear that she was trying to drive people away, Song Lan gritted her teeth angrily, and wanted to speak, but she heard the woman who was following her say, "If that's the case, then we won't bother you."

Originally, Wen Bao thought that Song Lan would be upset after the old woman spoke, but she found that when the old woman said this and said she wanted to leave, Song Lan could only stomp her feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing such a situation, Wen Bao guessed that it was not an easy woman to follow Song Lan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Zhou Hu's wife is not easy."

Yanzi didn't understand what Wen Bao meant by saying this, but after seeing Song Lan's party left, she continued to talk to Wen Bao happily.

"Sister-in-law, are you making clothes for Brother Da Lang?"

Hearing Yanzi's question, the corners of Wen Bao's mouth curled up, but he pursed his lips and gave an 'um'.

Seeing Wen Bao's appearance, Yanzi didn't say a word, instead she covered her mouth and snickered, thinking of how her mother used to make clothes for her father, she smiled sweetly.

On the second day, Wen Bao finished the first clothes for Song Dalang, and also knew the benefits that Song Lan's return brought to Song Lan's family this time.

"I heard that Song Lan gave a lot of things to her family when she came back this time?"

Wen Bao didn't want to go out, so he almost relied on Yanzi and Aunt Wei to inquire about things outside, but usually Yanzi came a lot, maybe Aunt Wei was in a good mood today, so Aunt Wei and Yanzi also came together.

After hearing Wen Bao's words, Aunt Wei gave a disdainful laugh, "Now Song Lan's family is walking with their heads up, wishing others would not know that Song Lan of their family has become someone else's concubine. There are many things brought back, but I've seen it, it's not as good as your dowry."

Aunt Wei's words were not to comfort Wen Bao, but the things Song Lan had brought back to her mother's house. There were quite a lot of them, but most of them were flashy things.

Anything prepared by Wen Bao's mother's family is real.

Wen Bao just took it as a joke when he heard about Song Lan's family, but there was another incident that bothered Wen Bao recently.

Wen Chengyong asked someone to send her a letter, which said that Wen's family and Wu's family had taken a fancy to a piece of land not far from Songjia Village and wanted to buy some, and asked her if she wanted to buy it.

To be honest, after asking Song Dalang about that piece of land, Wen Bao knew it was a good place.Although it is not the best farmland that can be cultivated, there is such a large open space surrounded by mountains, which is already a very good place.

It's just that Wen Bao didn't understand what the Wen family and the Wu family were planning. The land was really attractive, and Wen Bao really wanted to buy it.

After seeing off Aunt Wei and Yanzi, Wen Bao took out another piece of cloth. She was going to embroider some simple flowers and plants when she was bored. something happened.

Song Dalang knew that his daughter-in-law had been worrying about whether to buy land recently. Although their family had money now, Song Dalang knew that it was almost all Wen Bao's dowry.

So in the past few days, Song Dalang has been wandering around in the mountains. He will not go to the deep mountains now, but he still insists on wandering around here every day.

This day, Song Dalang packed up and went out early in the morning. Yesterday Song Dalang only made a fuss, so Wen Bao got up after Song Dalang got up, but he didn't expect Song Dalang to come back just after she got up.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."

Wen Bao in the cave heard Song Dalang's voice, was surprised by the joy in Song Dalang's tone, walked quickly to the outside of the cave, and saw Song Dalang appearing in the yard carrying a wild goat.

Seeing Wen Bao come out, Song Dalang's eyes lit up, "Daughter-in-law, we haven't been to town for a long time, shall we go to town together today?"

Song Dalang could see that Wen Bao was listless recently, as if he had something on his mind, but he didn't seem to be, so he had already thought about hunting a prey and taking it to the town together, so that his wife could go back to her mother's house, and he could exchange for more money. .

It is now the season of late autumn and early winter, and if there is heavy snow in the near future, the mountain road will be closed and it will be difficult to walk, so it is the most suitable time to go back to my mother's house now.

Hearing what Song Dalang said, and looking at the wild goat in his hand, Wen Bao understood what Song Dalang meant.

In this recent season, the price of mutton must be good.

Thinking about what Song Dalang said just now, Song Dalang must have noticed something due to her recent emotions, but after hearing Song Dalang mention going back to her mother's house, she also felt that she should go back once.

"Well, you go to Aunt Wei's house and ask Aunt Wei to take care of the house, and I'll go and pack up. This time we'll stay at my mother's house for two days before coming back."

For Song Dalang, who had never visited relatives since he was a child, but went to Wen's house for a meal last time, Wen Bao's proposal really caught his eye.

"Ok."

Song Dalang put down the wild goat and ran to Song Wei's house, thinking about what his wife said just now, he estimated that he would have to stay for two more days before returning.

Wen Bao plans to go back to her natal family for two days this time. First, she has something on her mind and wants to discuss it with someone. Second, she really misses the big family. Third, she heard from Song Dalang that it will snow in Songjia Village in half a month. , It was okay at the beginning, but after a month, the snow was heavy and it was not so easy to go out.

Thinking of this, Wen Bao turned around and went back to pack his things.

The clothes I made for Song Dalang last time should be taken, as well as my own clothes, and the money at home should be hidden.

After packing up his things, Song Dalang just came back, but he also brought back two pheasants given by Song Wei's family.

"Why did you bring something back?"

Wen Bao had just packed a bundle, but when he turned around, he saw Song Dalang awkwardly holding two pheasants standing in the yard.

Hearing Wen Bao's question, Song Dalang blushed a little inaudibly, and after seeing the teasing in Wen Bao's eyes, he opened his mouth to explain: "This stone was harvested in the trap in the morning, knowing that we are going to suppress On the way, I insisted on bringing it back, saying that we should take it to my father-in-law's house to eat."

Wen Bao looked at the two pheasants with a sigh of relief, then looked at Song Dalang's embarrassed explanation, and couldn't help but curl his lips, "It's okay, since Shi Shi gave it to you, take it, and bring some snacks for Shi Shi and Yanzi when you come back." .”

Shitou and Yanzi often ate delicious food from her. The last time Wu Houye came, he brought a box of candy. Later, the servants of the Wu family also brought a lot of food.

She likes Shitou and swallows, so she easily accepted Shitou's overtures this time.

This is how people get along with each other. Only when there is coming and going can we continue to get along.
