Nongmen's clever daughter-in-law: hook a general and give birth to a cub

Chapter 18 The heroine sought after by the folks

"Folks, if it's because of the food, I can explain it to you, but I do everything by myself, so please don't scare my son."

"Oh, Zhou's daughter-in-law, I think you really misunderstood."

A middle-aged woman with a pockmarked face came forward from the side, and forced a basket of eggs in her hand to Du Yao, "We all came here to thank you, if it wasn't for you, we would have to pay for all our food." I was tricked by those mountain bandits."

This bad thing doesn't go out, good things spread thousands of miles, Du Yao didn't get over it for a while, and poked in place stupidly.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the Du family could produce such a heroine. It really surprised us all."

Another peasant woman came up and handed a sack of corn cobs to Du Yao as if offering a treasure.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, in these years, each family is not rich, so naturally they can't offer money to thank you, and that's all I have for you. Don't be disgusted."

Putting the sack in her hand beside Du Yao, the peasant woman said with a embarrassed face again.

Cough,

Just when Du Yao didn't know what to say, an old cough came from behind the crowd, and everyone consciously moved away to the two sides, leaving a small path enough for one person to pass.

I saw the old village chief and Grandma Mo walking over one after the other, holding a piece of red paper full of words in their hands.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, your mother-in-law has already told me everything about your heroic capture of the thief. It really is a woman who does not give way to a man."

The village head is a landed scholar who failed several times in the township examinations, so he had to stay in the village as a teacher in the end.

Later, because of his high morals, he was elected as the village head by the villagers. It can be said that he is the only literate person in the village.

"Old village chief, you are really flattered, but it's just a little effort, not worth mentioning."

Du Yao said modestly, but her heart was filled with embarrassment.

I don't know what Grandma Mo said to the old village head. It's not a big deal, but she was made a big fuss, which really made her dumbfounded.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, this is given to you by the old man. It's worthless, but it's still a thought."

The old village head handed the red paper in front of Du Yao with both hands. Du Yao was overwhelmed by the sudden flattery, her arms stiffened at her sides, and she really didn't know what to do for a while.

"Daughter-in-law Yongnian, this is given to you by the old village head. You should quickly put it away and frame it up and hang it at home. It is also a great joy for the Zhou family."

Grandma Mo took the red paper away for Du Yao, and then showed off in front of everyone, as if she was the one who caught the bandits.

Whoa!

Sparse applause erupted from the crowd, and then it became continuous again. Everyone's faces were full of admiration, and pairs of eyes fell on Du Yao's body like the flash of a camera, making her very uncomfortable.

"stop!"

The volume was raised several times, covering the applause one after another. It was noisy a moment ago, but at this time, there was no sound.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Du Yao glanced at all the people present, swallowed her saliva, moistened her sore throat, and then continued, "I appreciate your kindness, but catching bandits and returning food is what I should do in the first place. , take all these thank you gifts back, and don’t embarrass me.”

"Yongnian daughter-in-law, you..."

"Grandmother, I don't worry about Baozi being alone in the house. Besides, it's getting late, you should take her to cook first."

Interrupting Grandma Mo's words, she pushed the courtyard door open, just enough to squeeze people in.

"Daughter-in-law Yongnian, let me tell you why you are so stupid!"

boom!
Before the words fell, the door was closed from the outside again, Du Yao leaned against the door panel, trying to make her smiling face look normal as much as possible.

"Hey, old village chief, I will accept the picture you gave me, and I will definitely follow my mother-in-law's words and frame it later."

"Okay, okay, Yongnian really married a good wife, virtuous, and full of abilities. It seems that this kid is going to have good luck."

Zhou Yongnian was brought up by Grandma Mo. He was smart since he was a child. At first, he was asked to learn to read and write with the old village head. Even if he is a worthless scholar, it is better than doing rough work every day.

However, the idea is good, but you have to ask him if he wants to!
It is obvious that Zhou Yongnian, who has a perfect figure and eight-pack abs, is more suitable to be a hunter, a scholar who recites poems, and his image is not suitable for him.

"What is the old village chief talking about? I'm just an ordinary woman, so please don't praise me. I'm the most unflattering person."

While talking, Du Yao handed back the egg basket in her hand to the pockmarked woman, and glanced at the sack at her feet, "Seeing that the sun is about to set, everyone don't waste time here, take your own. Get your stuff and go home."

"This……"

There is no need for a gift to be delivered to the door, but Du Yao can be regarded as the first one, and everyone has no idea, and they all look at the old village chief.

Hey!
The old village head sighed heavily, and then he waved his hand and said, "The wife of the Zhou family is good, so let's not embarrass her, let's do what we should do, just think about this kindness in our hearts, and we will do it in the future." Help me a lot."

"Yes."

With the words of the old village chief, the villagers didn't say any more. They took their things one by one and rushed home before the sun completely set.

call!
The crowd around the house dispersed, and Du Yao, who had been tense all the time, dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and the stiff expression on her face eased a little.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, if there is nothing wrong, I will..."

"Don't, don't, old village chief, you finally came here, how could you just leave like this?"

This troublesome matter has been resolved, and the troublesome people have all left, but the calculations in Du Yao's head have started to fight, thinking about it, some things have to trouble his old man, how can he let people go so easily up.

"Yongnian and I got married but you weren't there, and you didn't drink the tea offered by the new wife. Today, just today, let's make up for it all."

If Grandma Mo is Zhou Yongnian's half-grandmother, then the old village chief who taught him how to read and write is naturally a family member, and the etiquette that should be observed must be observed.

However, someone who is a drunkard does not care about drinking, but his mind may not be all about respecting his elders.

"Let's go, old village head, if you reject me, I'll have nothing to say if you turn around and ask Yongnian at my house."

"Zhou's daughter-in-law, I..."

"Old village chief!"

Before he finished speaking, Du Yao pretended to be displeased, and said aggrievedly, "I understand here, you don't like my daughter-in-law at all, I know, the reputation of our Du family in the village Not good, but..."

Boom!
The pitiful words were only halfway through when they were interrupted by an abrupt sound.

Du Yao and the old village head looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a deer thrown on the ground. Zhou Yongnian, holding a bow and crossbow in his hand, was standing aside. Not to mention his tattered clothes, his body was covered in blood. The appearance is really creepy.
