Countryside Romance

When Yan Wu married into the Gu family, Yuan received a lot of money for the gift.

She exclaimed in her heart: The betrothal gift money is actually over a thousand taels of silver more than the first place prize in the culinary arts competition! For the past few days, she had been carrying the big box while sleeping. Every day, when she opened her eyes, she would see so much money. She felt very happy.

However, every time she went out, she would be pointed out by the people in the village, saying that they were trying to sell her. She was very unwilling. If her daughter married into the Gu family, she would be enjoying herself wealth and fortune. What did it matter if she took some money? And she had done so much for Yan Wu, it was already a good example of a village mother.

As she thought of this, she felt the need to advertise her achievements.

She put most of the silver in a basket covered with soft cloth, and then, shining the silver yellow, went out the door.

The first person he wanted to show off was naturally the Lin Clan. They looked down on their Chen family. Now that Yan Wu had returned home, she naturally had to show off.

When Yuan Shi arrived at the Lin Clan, Mu Yun and Lin Jinyan were also there.

It wasn't because they were busy taking time off, but because Mrs Huang had woken up yesterday night and accidentally fell, injuring her knee.

The doctor said that since the Huang family was old and their bones were brittle, they needed someone to watch over them if they wanted to recuperate. As a result, the two elders of the Lin Family were bedridden, so Lin Jinyan and Mu Yun had to take care of them at home.

Lady Yuan didn't know the reason why, so she thought that Mu Yun and Lin Jinyan were just loitering at home. Therefore, she mocked:

"Aiyo, you guys have worked hard for a whole year and only managed to earn this little bit of money after a few days of rest. My family's Yan Wu has already gone out to marry me, yet you're already giving me so much silver." "Sigh, this is the life of everyone. Although they were born the same, the path they take in the end is different. The result is a world of difference."

As she spoke, Madam Yuan showed off the silver taels in her basket.

Mu Yun glanced at the silver in the box. Although there were a lot of them, she didn't feel envious at all. This amount of silver could be earned by his two stores within two months. However, when Yan Wu married into the Gu family, it was only for once.

At the same time, she thought: Yan Wu had volunteered to be a concubine, yet Yuan Shi was still showing off like this.

Lin Jinyan hated them even more. At first, Yan Wu was tangled up with the Elementary Scholar Ji Ge. Then, he said that he was fond of her. However, in the end, he still became someone's concubine. This kind of woman was really disgusting.

The two of them chased the Yuan clan out of the Lin Clan.

Madam Yuan believed that they must be jealous of her, as they didn't want to see the silver taels in her basket.

As she thought of this, she became even more proud. Carrying her basket, she walked through the village. Whenever she saw someone, she would tell him about her daughter's deeds and even say that she had helped him a lot.

Most people looked at her with disdain, thinking: Your daughter is going to be a concubine, and you're still helping her.

There were also a few hooligans in the village who were secretly watching her from the shadows. Seeing that she had arrived at a deserted place, they all rushed up together, wanting to snatch away the Yuan clan's silver taels from her basket.

Mrs. Yuan didn't expect that someone would dare to directly attack her in broad daylight. She was furious and didn't want to let go of the basket. She even wanted to cover the silver taels with the soft cloth.

However, this action was noticed by the hooligans. They held their hands together and each grabbed a handful.

A man's voice boomed.

"What are you doing? I'm going to find Li Zheng! "

Those hooligans were just children in the village, so they had a little fear towards adults. When they heard the man's shout, they immediately scattered.

The Yuan clan picked up the silver taels that fell out of their hands one by one and started swearing. After she finished picking them up, she raised her head to look at the person who had saved her.

It was Boss Wang from the town.

Madam Yuan didn't know Boss Wang, so she expressed her gratitude and said:

"Thank you, sir, for saving me."

Boss Wang, however, had long heard of Yuan Shi's great name.

Previously, when the Yuan clan and Yan Wu were causing a ruckus in the city, he had witnessed the entire matter from the beginning to the end about Mu Yun going to the magistrate court. At that time, although he and Mu Yun did not have any conflicts, the snacks made in Mu Yun's shop were very good. As long as it was a shop owner that cooked food, they would pay attention to her.

At that time, Yuan Shi was shouting loudly on the street. He happened to be passing by and heard the whole process of her crying and howling.

He didn't have a good impression of Madam Yuan in the first place. If he were to imagine a woman crying on the street without caring about her image, it would hinder her appearance. But at the same time, he also confirmed that Lady Yuan and Mu Yun had a grudge.

When he saw that the person he saved was the Yuan clan, his eyes lit up. He had always liked to borrow a knife to kill, and he preferred to use a weapon instead of a blood blade.

"Raising your hand is not worth mentioning."

Although this was what Boss Wang said, his eyes were eagerly looking at Lady Yuan.

Lady Yuan felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze. Knowing that Boss Wang definitely had something to do, she couldn't help but open her mouth and say:

"Mm …" Mister saved my life and saved so much money, so how could I treat it as a small matter? If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me. "

At this time, Boss Wang revealed a smile and said to her:

"I know that you and the Lin Family have always had grudges. "Coincidentally, I have something that I want you to do. If you can do it well, I can give you more silver taels."

When Madam Yuan heard this, he was really happy that he had the money to frame Mu Yun, so she quickly asked:

"What does mister want me to do?"

Boss Wang said:

"It's very simple. You just need to sneak into the Lin Family's flavor shop and destroy their salt."

Thinking of Lin Que and the other guards, Madam Yuan felt a sense of dread. She hugged her basket tightly and looked at Boss Wang with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"They have a guard in their shop, how could a woman like me compare to them?"

"The flavor shop is only the size of a palm, even if you hired a guard, there's nowhere to stand. You can relax, destroying the brine is simple. You just need to find some dirt and pour it into the bucket. And in the blink of an eye, you don't have to panic. "

Madam Yuan thought about it for a moment. This was also the same logic. Therefore, she nodded her head, indicating that she was willing to do so.

Because Mu Yun had to take care of the Huang Family, she didn't go to Lin Ji's house for a few days.

Madam Yuan had been observing from afar. Seeing Mu Yun not coming to the store, she decided to do it even though she was struggling with herself! She patted her clothes and dressed herself up like a rich servant.

Lifting her chest, she walked to the entrance of the shop.

At this moment, there was only one delivery boy in the shop. Xue Er went over to help out because of Lin Li's snacks. Xue Er recognized the Yuan family. His absence was also one of the reasons why Madam Yuan had made up her mind to do what she was doing.

Madam Yuan swallowed her saliva, walked up to the delivery man, and said:

"I'd like to buy some brine."

The clerk asked her what kind of meat she wanted, what taste.

Lady Yuan answered without thinking and then began to walk around as if she were looking at the furnishings of the shop.

She saw a glass of water on the table and made up her mind. As if by accident, she leaned over, knocking down the glass of water and wetting her clothes, and gave a cry of alarm.

The waiter who was originally acting as if he was acting as if he was acting as if he was acting out a good meal immediately turned around. Seeing that her jacket skirt was wet, he picked up the cloth and wanted to help her wipe it.

Yuan Shi dodged his hand, took his cloth and said:

"Aiya, don't do such a thing. It's not good for others to see. "Let me go to the backyard. I'll clean it myself."

There were brine ingredients in the back, and the guy didn't want her to go.

Yuan Shi pestered and said:

"As a woman, how bad would it be for me to walk on the road while my body was wet? It's just your backyard, what else can I do? "

The clerk thought: It's just to go in and wipe himself off, so it should be fine and let her go.

After Madam Yuan went through the back door and saw the large brine jar, her heart trembled. She walked over shakily and looked around the courtyard again, trying to find something to put into the large brine jar.

She walked around and found a swill bucket at the back door.

The next day.

The wounds on Madam Huang's legs had already mostly healed. She was now able to get off the bed and walk. She wasn't that serious in the first place. Although she was quite old, she recovered very quickly after drinking the medicine given by the doctor.

In the morning, seeing that Mrs Huang was in good shape, Mu Yun went to the shop to settle all the matters that had accumulated over the past few days.

She first went to Lin Ji's for a look.

The shopkeeper had told her that they had no choice but to call Xue Er over to handle this matter when someone was causing trouble. Xue Er had easily resolved this matter. After that, the manager kept praising Xue Er [1]. Mu Yun naturally knew of Xue Er's ability, but she only nodded in agreement and didn't say anything. The shopkeeper looked at her expression and didn't say anything more.

After that, Mu Yun went to the brine store. Seeing that all the ingredients were almost sold, she wanted to go to the backyard to make some finished products. Only then did she discover that the big vat containing the brine soup was emitting a rolling stench, and some strange impurities were rolling inside.

Generally speaking, the brine soup in place cannot contain any sundries. Every day, after boiling the brine flavor with the brine soup, he would have to clean up all the debris in the brine soup and throw it away. At the same time, the broth was boiling with all sorts of strange shapes and sizes, and was also emitting a rotten smell.

Mu Yun was furious.

She thought it was Xue'er's dereliction of duty, so she brought him over and began to curse.

Xue Er was silent for a moment, then explained:

"The brine was good yesterday. In the morning, I did as my boss instructed and boiled the broth. It can't be like this after an afternoon and a night. "

Only then did Mu Yun calm down. She glanced at Xue Er, who remained calm and composed, and felt somewhat guilty.

But she did not apologize.

When all the delivery boys returned to the store, Mu Yun gathered them all, pointed at the vat of brine and asked:

"What's going on? Can any of you explain it? "

The few of them looked at each other. Among them, three of them said that they were delivering goods all day yesterday. Their legs were about to break, so they didn't pay attention to this jar at all.

The other person frowned and thought for a while before explaining in detail about meeting a woman in the afternoon.

Mu Yun asked her to describe the woman's outfit.

That shop assistant knew that there must be something wrong with that woman. Trembling, he told her about the Yuan clan's dress and appearance.

"The Yuan clan."

Xue Er muttered.

It was only then that Mu Yun realized that she had wrongly blamed Xue Er. It was because when she went to Lin Ming's dessert, she had indeed heard of Xue Er helping them solve their problems yesterday. At this moment, she looked a little embarrassed, but she also understood that she could not completely let off Xue Er's responsibility.

She called in Lin Ji's guards and told them to go to the An clan village and find Madam Yuan.

The time she had to wait was very long. Mu Yun looked at Xue Er who had remained silent and felt guilty.

She took another look at the taste, which could no longer be used, and felt even more sorrowful. It had already been one month since he had tasted the flavor. In another five months, it would become an old halogen. At that time, he would no longer have to add more raw materials every day.

However, the Yuan clan's actions made all her hard work go down the drain.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, to the point where she couldn't hold back her tears. She ruthlessly wiped her face, thinking that if she met Madam Yuan, she would definitely punish her harshly and not forgive her.

She felt more and more tears coming to her eyes, and her sleeves were about to get wet. Suddenly, a handkerchief appeared in front of her.

Mu Yun raised her head and glanced at Xue Er.

Xue Er's expression was still the same as usual, but even colder.

Mu Yun used the handkerchief to wipe her tears away, then forcefully held back her tears as she said to Xue Er:

"It's because I've always been biased against you. After all, you were the one who concealed the key the first time. Today's matter is indeed my fault. It is really my fault that I got angry at you without finding out the reason. "

Xue Er's cold brows relaxed a little. He looked at Mu Yun's bright red eyes and smirked.
