Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 169

Xiu'er didn't invite herself to sit down, and took a look at Shaoyao's small tree shed, feeling that it was extremely shabby, and it didn't look like a home at all.She knew that Shaoyao didn't take her seriously, so she didn't bother to talk to Shaoyao, so she just said to Pomegranate: "Are you free now? Let's go to the town together, okay? I want to buy some salt, how about?" I want to buy a few feet of cloth to make new clothes, I don’t even have a wedding dress when I get married here.”

Shiliu looked at the muslin embroidered clothes on Xiu'er, and said, "You are well dressed, why spend that money? No one in our village can afford your clothes."

Although Xiu'er didn't stay in the brothel for long, she still made some money and made some good clothes at that time, but she looked nondescript in the village wearing such clothes. "Pomegranate, I want to buy some tweed cloth to make a pair of clothes, so that I can grow vegetables in the vegetable field or something. Chuxi won't let me interfere when I go to work in the field. I am thinking that I can't stay at home all the time." That said, it’s okay to grow vegetables. When I was a child, I also wanted to grow vegetables at my mother’s house, so my mother-in-law’s face would not look good if I was idle all day.”

Shiliu thought that she would go to the post station with Qian Feng tomorrow afternoon, and she would rarely play with Xiu'er in the future, so she nodded and agreed with a smile.

Shao Yao just wanted to go to the field to work with Er Xi, so she got up and closed the door.

Shiliu wanted to ride a horse, but Qian Feng was on the mountain, she couldn't ride, and neither could Xiu'er, so they had to walk to the town.

Seeing his sister walking with Ling'er's sister-in-law, Shi Yazi felt that it was inappropriate. Everyone knew that his sister had fought with Ling'er's mother and daughter.He chased after her, "Sister, sister-in-law Ling'er, where are you two going?"

Xiu'er had been in Fengyuechang before, and now she knew the clue, covered her mouth and smiled, "Little brother is really interesting, you can just call me sister-in-law, why do you call me sister-in-law Ling'er?"

Shi Yazi blushed and was speechless to answer.

Shiliu knocked on his younger brother's forehead and said, "Go back to the shed and do your work. Xiu'er and I are going shopping in the town. Why are you bothering with women's affairs?"

Shi Yazi pulled Shiliu aside, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Ling'er is walking with you, isn't she afraid of being scolded by her in-laws when she goes home, and Chuxi will definitely scold her too."

Shiliu glared at him, "As long as you have a lot of things to do, Xiu'er is not afraid. She doesn't have any good sisters in Qian's Village. Why can't I go to town with her?"

Shi Yazi was speechless, watching his sister and Xiu'er walk forward arm in arm. Qianjia Village is not far from the town, so it's not tiring to walk all the way.

Because of Xiu'er's conspicuous clothes, which are clean and colorful, the men who come and go can't help but look at her more.Maybe it's because Pomegranate has a rounder figure, and now that she's pregnant, she looks even more blessed, while Xiu'er has an exquisite figure and light makeup, so Pomegranate has unknowingly become Xiu'er's foil.

Shiliu herself didn't know that she was acting as a foil, but Xiu'er had a smug look on her face. Seeing a man looking at her, she puffed up her chest even more and smiled slightly, very charming.

Shiliu looked left and right, "Xiu'er, why are you smiling all the time, did you see something interesting?"

Xiu'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "I'm very happy to come out to play with you, why don't I laugh?"

"Oh." Pomegranate still felt a little baffled.

They first went to the shop to buy some coarse cloth. Xiu'er was spending her own money now, so she didn't plan carefully. She also bought a few packs of pastries and melon seeds, and then came to Li's shop to buy salt.

Before reaching the shop, Pomegranate shouted, "Pear Blossom! Why are you selling salt?"

Pomegranate dragged Xiu'er and strode over, Lihua didn't look at Pomegranate, but looked at Xiu'er a few more times.These two women are quite pretty, so they don't like each other's eyes. Lihua thinks that Xiu'er's expression is too sloppy, while Xiu'er thinks that Lihua is too arrogant.

Shiliu asked again: "I heard that Li Dalang is running this shop now, why did you come out to sell salt?"

Lihua shoveled a few grains of salt with a shovel for the pomegranate to taste, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law went back to her mother's house. She fought with her elder brother yesterday afternoon, her face was swollen, so she went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger. My elder brother is now Both my parents-in-law and I burned paper money on Xiaolang’s grave, and when I was pregnant, my mother-in-law said it was unlucky to go to the grave, so she asked me to sell salt in the shop.”

Xiu'er snorted softly, thinking that Lihua was just a widow with a baby in her belly, why was she so arrogant, maybe she thought about men in her heart!

Xiu'er pointed to a pile of salt in front of her, "I want the salt from here, let me have three catties."

Lihua was quite proficient in her technique, so she quickly weighed the salt, wrapped it up and handed it to Xiu'er.

Xiu'er reached out her hand to take out money in her sleeve pocket, and just as she was taking out the money, Li Dalang came back.He saw a conspicuously dressed woman buying salt from a long distance, so he took a closer look.

When Xiu'er took out the money, she showed her shiny wrists, and Li Dalang stood aside and watched without blinking, almost bewildered.

Seeing Li Dalang's appearance of never having seen a woman before, Lihua felt angry. You must know that Li Dalang had come into her room last night and said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Lihua is a high-spirited person, how can she bear to see this scene, she stretched out her hand, and smashed the shovel in her hand, just hitting Li Dalang's forehead, Li Dalang yelled "ah" in pain, and there was an instant on his forehead. Blood flowed.

Shiliu and Xiu'er were so frightened by the situation that they jumped to the side, not knowing what Lihua was doing.

Lihua pretended to be panicked, "I'm sorry to scare you two, I... I hit a fly, there was a stinky fly flying around in front of me just now, if the stinky fly bites the salt, the salt will not It's a good sell."

She also ran out of the shop and helped Li Dalang, "Brother, are you okay? Why are you so careless? It's just a shovel, why is your forehead bleeding?"

Li Dalang covered his forehead, "You little girl, you are crazy! Why did you hit the shovel on my head?"

In fact, Li Dalang also guessed why Lihua wanted to beat him. After he yelled, he covered his head and ran back to find Dr. Wei.

Xiu'er put the money on the counter, grabbed the pomegranate and hurried away.Shi Liu kept looking back, "Li Hua beat Li Dalang like that, her in-laws wouldn't beat and scold her, would they?"

Xiu'er snorted and said, "Come on, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. This pair doesn't look right. Where did the stinky fly come from? Why didn't I see it?"

Pomegranate doesn't understand at all, why would Lihua be so cruel if there is no stinky fly?
