Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3263 Something is really wrong (three more)
"Aunt Dayun, why are you asking me everything!" Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yuxi was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, looked at the mule leading the way, then slowed down and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's nothing. Come make fun of my father-in-law."

"I heard that when my father-in-law was young, the family planned to talk to him about Jin'e at first."

"Then Jin'e didn't like my father-in-law. He disliked my father-in-law's short stature, so he immediately fell in love with Wangfu who was digging the river dam over there."

"I haven't figured it out yet, the two of you will be fine in private."

"Wangfu's family took an old hen, and took Jin'e there to be a daughter-in-law, and Jin'e's natal family did the same..."

"What?" Dayun was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"No wonder Wangfu doesn't take Jin'e seriously, but Jin'e always treats Wangfu like an emperor,"

"It's been a long time, how dare the two of them still have such a show? Tsk tsk, this Jin'e, you can't blame Wangfu for not respecting her. It turned out that she was not self-respecting at the beginning." Dayun said.

Yang Ruoqing and Yuzhi looked at each other, it was the first time they heard about this.

Yuzhi said: "Wangfu drank too much, and beat Aunt Jin'e when he drank too much. Aunt Jin'e was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. The next day, she had to buy meat and drink for Wangfu."

Yuxi was stunned, "Is there such a woman in the world? Really..."

Yang Ruoqing said: "But now Wangfu has committed a crime and is in jail."

Yuxi said, "What did you do?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "When the famine was at its worst, he colluded with a group of prisoners who escaped from the quarry and wanted to murder people in our village,"

"Perhaps it's the old and young people in our village that the heavens are hanging over. The news of the matter leaked out, and we were caught by our parents."

"All of them were taken into prison, and the first few villains were ordered to be beheaded by the magistrate. That was in July."

"Wangfu has been locked in the county government jail, and Aunt Jin'e doesn't think about food or tea at home,"

"At this moment, I brought my widowed daughter-in-law and two granddaughters, and I don't know if I came to my mother's house. We are good friends with her daughter-in-law. Don't worry, come and have a look."

Yuxi is not stupid, after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, she knew there must be more than that.

Friends and mother-in-law are visiting relatives, so there is no need for a few friends to mobilize people to come and have a look.

Among them, there must be some other reasons, but if they don't talk about this reason now, Yuxi will never ask.

"We're almost at the ferry, let's follow closely." Yuxi said to Yang Ruoqing with a smile.

Several people nodded one after another, we didn't speak, and quickened our pace to follow.

At the ferry, there really was a black-covered boat with two pointed ends docked.

A little girl about Luo Baobao's age was squatting by the water to wash vegetables. On the bank behind her, a simple stove was built with a few stones, and a few thick branches inside were crackling.

There is a small iron pot on top of the fire, and the pot is rumbling like fish is being cooked.

There is no seasoning, and the fish pond cooked in the most primitive way is as milky as milk.

Just looking at it, it whets the appetite.

Yang Ruoqing turned her eyes away from the fish soup and turned to the mule.

The mule was talking to the old man with the gray beard who was squatting on the bed and smoking a pipe, and he turned around and pointed at the women on the bank.

Then, the old man pulled out the pipe from his mouth, stood up, and went to untie the rope tied to a big rock on the shore.

Here, the mule beckoned to Yang Ruoqing a few times, and the women understood, and quickly supported each other to get down from the river beach and came to the water's edge.

"This is A Shuibo, the only boatman in Youjiawan, who used to drive big boats when he was young."

Mule introduced the old man to everyone.

Yang Ruoqing and the others greeted the old man with a smile, the folk customs in Daqi were open, especially in the countryside.

Usually in the fields, men and women work together, and it is very common for everyone to make jokes about meat and vegetables.

So it's okay for a few women to greet the old boatman.

The old boatman let the big guy into the boat, sat on both sides, and then picked up a long penny and plunged it into the water.

"Cui Cui, grandpa is sending some guests across the river. You can eat the food after cooking, don't wait for grandpa."

The little girl named Cuicui raised her head and looked timidly in this direction.

She nodded obediently and watched the boat leave slowly.

On the bed, goat whey has been looking at the grandparents with great interest. The old boatman is getting old, with gray hair and beard.

He was wearing a coir raincoat, and a worn bamboo hat was hung on his back.

The granddaughter named Cuicui, with a round face, has been exposed to the sun and wind by the water all year round, and her complexion is a healthy wheat color.

With a flushed face, big bright eyes, a thick braid hanging behind her back, tied with a red rope.

In addition, her name is also Cui Cui, which made Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but think of the girl Cui Cui who was dependent on the boatman's grandfather in Shen Congwen's "Border Town".

"Here we are, let's get off the boat, slow down."

The old boatman Ah Shuibo's voice came to his ears, and Yang Ruoqing came back to his senses and found that the boat had already landed.

The mule wanted to pay, Ah Shuibo said, "No hurry, I'll wait for you here, and we'll settle the bill together when we go back."

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the river behind her. Although she could see the village on the other side from this bank, it was the same as looking at the mountain and running to a dead horse.

If you really want to go from this bank to the other bank, you have to go through an incense-filled waterway.

If the old boatman were to go back now, he might have to row over just after he arrived, which would take time and effort, so he might as well wait here.

Everyone went ashore and walked towards Zuojia Bay ahead.

Dayun said: "If we go to the village with great fanfare to look for it, will we startle the snake?"

Having been cooking in the school for a long time and listening to the teacher's class, Dayun accidentally learned two idioms, and they used them here just right.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, let's stop at the entrance of the village now, and find someone to inquire about the situation first."

"Okay, I know a few people in this village, I'll go into the village and ask later." Mule said.

Several people waited near the entrance of the village as promised, and the mule entered Zuojiawan alone.

After two bowls of tea, the mule came out.

"How's the situation? Has Jin'e come back?" Dayun asked quickly.

The mule said: "People in the village say that Jin'e took her two granddaughters back to this old lady's house a few days ago, and they have been staying at her second brother's house for the past few days."

"Only three people? Without her daughter-in-law Xiaoqin?" Dayun asked again.

The mule shook his head, "I asked emphatically, they said they only heard of three people, and wondered if there was another one hidden in the house."

Dayun turned around and looked at Yang Ruoqing and the others, "Qing'er, something is wrong."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Hey, something is really wrong, let's go, let's go directly to Jin'e's second brother's house."

"Well, when the time comes..."

"If you ask, you can say that you are visiting relatives at my house. I heard that Xiaoqin and the others are also here, so you can stop by to have a look." Yuxi said hurriedly.

The mule said: "My daughter-in-law is right, this is a good idea!"
