Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 195 Instigation
Another market day.

It was almost noon, and the town was already very lively.

At this time, most of the people who went to the market were carrying baskets, or simply carrying a sack.

Those who wanted to sell mountain goods and firewood in the morning naturally came early. They came at this time, either to buy things for the home, or a few women went to the fair to buy some needles and thread in their free time, or to put the The embroidery is handed over to the embroidery shop.

The smell of rice noodle stalls on the side of the road wafted over, and pedestrians stopped one after another.

People who sell things naturally also need to fill their stomachs. Some women who know how to live are reluctant to part with it and just shake their heads: "Forget it, this bowl of rice noodles worth three yuan can only be eaten by myself. When I go back , go to that shop to buy those dry rice noodles, soak them in boiling water at home, and cook some soup, enough for the whole family!"

The flow of people is like weaving.

Walking out of the door of the teahouse was an old woman with small steps, with a satisfied expression on her face. Passers-by saw her like this, and occasionally someone greeted her, "Auntie, you are so lucky, look at this beautiful day, Drink tea early in the morning, go back at meal time, and don’t worry about anything.”

"No, this son is filial and sensible to his daughter-in-law, don't worry!"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Min had a slight smile on her face, and still walked towards Jufeng Tower in small steps.

She is familiar with this road, and the town is full of acquaintances, so she doesn't need someone to pick her up.

The people around are also used to this. After greeting, they still do their own business.

As soon as Min's turned to the corner, she was rushed by a half-sized man. Although she hurriedly supported the wall with her hands, she was still a step late, and almost fell to the ground, and half of her sleeve was torn, " Which brat is so frizzy!"

But the kid shook his hand again, and cursed: "Blind old woman, come out all day!"

Min's body trembled a little with anger, and when the boy threw her, she couldn't stand still, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Suddenly, he was strongly supported by a pair of hands, and he yelled and cursed: "You bastard with no winks! How did your family teach you! Come here and kowtow, I'll let you go this time!"

That kid didn't take it seriously, but seeing that the road ahead was blocked by people, he was not a loser, so he turned around and came back, and said to Min in a soft voice: "Mother, just treat me as blind..."

The young woman's voice sounded again: "What are you talking about! Tell you to kowtow and talk nonsense, it's like a dog can't spit out ivory!"

However, even though Min was unwilling, she could tell that the woman wanted to stand out for herself, so she could not offend others severely, so she smoothed things over and said, "Be careful next time."

"If the aunt hadn't spared you, I'll see if I don't pull out a layer of your skin!" After cursing a few times, he let him go.

Clutching the woman's gentle hand, Min said gratefully, "Daughter, thanks to you."

"Look at what my aunt said. When encountering such a thing, whoever sees it can't say anything, or else she is still a person? I saw my aunt in the tea shop a few times, why did she come alone, and her family didn't accompany her for a while?" The woman Ramble.

Obviously, Min didn't want to talk too much, so he just asked, "What's your daughter's name? I'm happy to hear how hearty your voice is."

The Min family used to stay at home because of inconvenient eyesight. After all, Wu Guiye was not her own, and she married quickly. Wu Liangping was not a big person at the time, so she had to support the entire restaurant, and she couldn't take care of herself. will cause her trouble.

Later, I married a daughter-in-law, who was also a quiet character, and it was only after Yaya was born that the courtyard became more popular.

But the daughter-in-law is also in charge of business, busy inside and out, keeping the house in order, making her seem more and more useless.

For example, Yaya sometimes cries, and when she just fumbles to hug her, she grabs her first, saying that she doesn't want to cause trouble for herself, or is she afraid that she will fall that golden egg-like girl, so what if the child falls?It made me look more and more like a useless person, I couldn't even give birth to a kid!
With the anger in her heart, it's not like she hasn't talked to her son before. The child married his wife and forgot his mother.

The Min family sighed faintly. Before, they could still call and scold their daughter-in-law a few words, but what happened afterwards?Even the daughter can't come back. The daughter-in-law has a backer at home, and she is very powerful. With workshops and other things, my son may also look at her face.

Min's depression deepened, Lian Wumei's sensible and well-behaved, in her eyes, she just knew how to pretend.

Fortunately, she can still go out for a walk, although her eyes can't see very clearly, after going back and forth a few times, she can still find the teahouse, listen to other people's talk, and bask in the sun outside, so she is still alive.

"Ma'am, you can just be my Zhenniang! I'll help you sit aside." The two sat down on the roadside wall.

Mrs. Min was not used to it, "This one sitting in the middle of the road is not very decent."

The fragrance of the handkerchief in Zhenniang's hand flashed, and she giggled: "Don't worry, auntie, this is a soft stool I brought out by myself, and no one is leaving here."

Mrs. Min and Zhenniang talked one after another. Now that Zhenniang had made up her mind, she naturally said everything to her heart, and immediately felt like hating each other until later.

When she learned that Zhenniang was returning home to pay respects to her parents, she felt even more pity in her heart.

When they met for the first time, Zhenniang was not in a hurry, after saying this, she left.

When I got home, I complained to Boss Pang: "Dead man! An old woman who is like dry bark, wasting a lot of my saliva! What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd!"

Boss Pang went over to help her sit down, and rubbed her shoulders, "My lady, this time it's all up to you, do you know that Lin Sa is a serious person, otherwise why haven't we met for so long?" Marrying a wife, not to mention the soybeans he took the lead to deliver last time, I'm doing a lot of preparations, if the other side of Jufeng Tower is disturbed, we have to take the opportunity to take it, which is also a way out."

Zhenniang held the tea in her hand and enjoyed Boss Pang's carefulness, but at this moment she was a little angry: "What?! You let me live with you in a town as big as that bird's nest, you are really capable!"

Boss Pang quickly denied: "Don't worry, this is in our hands, but we don't need to live there by ourselves, it's nice to come here once in a while, besides, isn't this the last plan? After such a fuss, you see Does the daughter-in-law of Jufenglou dare to associate with Lin Sa? Even the other side of the workshop needs to avoid suspicion. If this group of mud-legged people don’t have Lin Sa behind their backs to give them strength, it will not be a matter of minutes for me to hold them. It’s not easy to sell soybeans at that time? If it’s really done properly, then Lin Sa might not stay here because of the person he loves the most. If he leaves, who else will give us the matter of harvesting grain? Get in the way!"

Convinced by what she said, Zhenniang pointed her finger at his forehead: "You have two tricks!"

"Of course, this business seems to be complicated, but as long as you figure it out, it will be done properly. So this time, it's up to the lady to do her best."

"What's so difficult about this!"

A few days later, Zhenniang "ran into" the Min family again.

They also sent people back to Jufeng Tower.

Hearing that Min's sleep was not good, I specially smoked the incense brought from the city for her. On the other side of Min's, I don't know if someone said that the depression in her heart dissipated, or did the incense really help, did people sleep well? few.

When you sleep well, you feel refreshed.

Not only Wu Liangping, but also Wu Mei didn't think too much about it, only being happy in his heart.

The Min family even regarded Zhenniang as their own daughter.

Occasionally, Zhenniang would come to look for Mrs. Min. She rarely appeared outside, and no one saw anything here.

Once Wumei brought her tea, she made a lot of noise, a little flustered.

Mrs. Min said a few words to Wu Mei, and after driving the people out, she said: "Zhen Niang, you are not a stingy person, what happened just now? You are in a daze."

Zhenniang didn't say anything, she just covered up and ran away.

It will still be the same next time.

Min's eyes are not good, so her heart is particularly sensitive. She grabbed her and refused to let her go no matter what: "You child still treats me as an outsider, so don't lie to me. Every time it is Yaya's mother who comes in, you You're in a panic, if it's really her who gives you shame, just tell me!"

Zhenniang sneered in her eyes, but she said calmly: "Ma'am, look at what you said, Yaya Niang is very kind to me, but..."

She didn't want to go on.

But the Min family didn't let it go.

Then Zhenniang said in a very embarrassing way: "There are some things I shouldn't say, but... If you are like this, ma'am, I won't say it, and I won't get over the hurdle in my heart. Maybe it's my eyesight."

After finishing speaking, he approached Min's and talked a lot.

Min's eyelids kept twitching.

It's not messed up yet: "Really?"

Zhenniang said with a bit of bitterness: "This is a big event. If I didn't take it seriously, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense. If I talk about a coincidence...it's too coincidental. I think you know it too, ma'am. People will do business that loses money, hey...don't think too much about it."

When Zhenniang left, the Min family didn't know, she kept hearing that voice, what kind of workshop, Yayuniang... and the soybeans that came out suddenly, if she remembered correctly, Yayuniang could It was the mother's home that I returned to at that time...

There are some things that she hardly dares to think about.

I still remember that when I didn't go out, why did Brother Ping beg her all of a sudden?Later, there were some gossips, but she didn't hear much when she was locked in the room. Thinking about it this way, things might not be easy.

This time, she was not impulsive.

Thinking of Wu Liangping being fascinated by her, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

I found an acquaintance and asked about it.

When she learned about Wu Mei's past events and almost married the Lin family, her hands couldn't help shaking.

She felt that her son didn't seem to regard her as his own mother anymore, otherwise, he would never have lied to herself for such a person. What's even worse, he was so indiscreet when he entered the door as his own.

Min locked herself in her room, burned incense for her dead husband, and changed her clothes.

After dinner in peace, leaving Wu Liangping alone, "Kneel down!"
