Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

"Huh? Why is Catcher Yang here?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help muttering.

"I specially ordered people to invite them to come here. If it is true as Mr. Yu said, you can let Catcher Yang and the others take them away directly, so it will save trouble!"

Zhao Qian explained to Lin Xiao softly.

"I see!"

Lin Xiao nodded, and looked at Zhao Qian even more in his heart.

As expected of an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he hits the nail on the head in everything he does, without dragging his feet.

"Hahaha, Village Chief Lu, don't come here unharmed!"

The village head stood up, bowed his hands to Yang Butou and the others, then walked up to the village head Lu, and said with a smile.

"Haha, Village Chief Lin, long time no see!"

Village Chief Lu also responded with a smile, but the smile was full of bitterness.

He was sipping wine leisurely at home, when suddenly a person who claimed to be a follower of the observer came in and invited him to meet in Linjiacun to discuss important matters.

Although he didn't know why the observer was looking for him, he still didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to Linjiacun with his followers.

Lu Xiang, who was hiding behind Mazi, was frightened and at a loss when she saw the people in Lujia Village.

Her legs were weak and trembling uncontrollably, her heartbeat couldn't help speeding up, and the hand holding the hem of the pockmarked clothes unconsciously clenched tightly, her entire face was paler than before.

"Surely this person should be Mr. Zhao from the capital?"

Village head Lu looked at Zhao Qian with a smile on his lips, then cupped his hands and greeted him politely.

Zhao Qian nodded: "Yes."

Hearing this, Village Chief Lu quickly cupped his hands and said:
"May I ask Master Zhao what order he has for the younger one?"

"It's my brother. He said he heard something about poisonous salt from your village, so he specially invited you to come and ask."

While speaking, Zhao Qian pointed to Yu Xilin who was sitting beside him drinking tea leisurely.

"Poisonous salt?"

Village head Lu was startled, making poison is a serious crime of beheading, who in Lujia Village is so courageous? !
At this moment, Aunt Cheng, Granny Qian and Aunt Liu, the village head's wife of Lu Village, all recognized Yu Xilin, and their faces were shocked.

The noble son who came to the village to chat with them during the day turned out to be a high official in the capital!
Yu Xilin put down her teacup and greeted the old women with a smile:
"Several old aunts, do you still remember me?"

"Remember, how can you not remember, you are Mr. Yu!"

Aunt Cheng replied with a very respectful tone.

"Just remember, can you please repeat what you said to me today in front of everyone?"

Yu Xilin looked at the old women with a smile and asked.

Several old women looked at each other upon hearing this, and finally set their eyes on Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang was uncomfortable being stared at by the old women, her heart was beating faster and faster, and her head began to become dizzy.

"Just say it, it's not a big deal!"

Granny Qian glanced at Lu Xiang, then turned her head and said to Village Chief Lu:
"Master Village Chief, a few days ago, Aunt Liu and I were working in the field when we saw Lu Xiang sneaking towards her mother's house with a bamboo basket in hand."

"Aunt Liu and I even jokingly asked if this Lu Xiang felt that her husband's family was too poor to live on, so she went back to her mother's family to find subsidies."

"Who knows, not long after, we saw Lu Xiang holding Lu Cui's arm, talking and laughing out of the village, and handing her the bamboo basket, right, his aunt?"

As she spoke, Granny Qian nudged Aunt Liu who was beside her with her elbow, and asked.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Aunt Liu nodded vigorously, as if what we said was true, and then continued:

"At that time, I thought it was strange that Lu Cui's husband's family was even poorer than Lu Xiang's. How could this Lu Xiang be talking and laughing with her? Besides, they didn't get along when they were girls, and they quarreled every day."

"So I followed them quietly with Granny Qian, and later I ran into the village chief's wife, Aunt Cheng, right?"

Aunt Liu looked at Aunt Cheng and asked.

"exactly!"

Aunt Cheng responded quickly.

"We'll just follow them and see what they're going to do."

Aunt Cheng followed Aunt Liu's words and said:
"The three of us followed them for about half a stick of incense, and then we saw the two of them enter a ruined temple."

"Lu Cui opened the bamboo basket and took out wild pork, rice, and some dried fish and wild vegetables from it. He said that they were all salted in advance, and they can be eaten directly in the pot when they go back."

"My dear, wild pork and rice! I've only eaten it once in my life!"

Speaking of this, Aunt Cheng couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and continued with an excited face:

"At the beginning, Lu Cui was quite embarrassed and refused to accept it, but she couldn't resist Lu Xiang, and finally accepted it. We were so greedy at the time!"

Yu Xilin nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and said to the three aunts:
"Thank you, I will get each of you a portion of wild pork, rice, and refined salt when I go back later."

"really?"

Aunt Cheng was shocked when she heard the words, and quickly thanked her, while Aunt Liu and Granny Qian also expressed their gratitude to Yu Xilin.

"More real than real gold!"

Yu Xilin nodded with a smile, then asked Mazi:
"How about it, do you hear any tricks?"

"What's the name? My wife is going to visit a friend at her mother's house and bring her something to eat. Is there a problem?"

Mazi frowned, and asked in displeasure.

"It seems that you still don't understand."

Yu Xilin shook his head in disappointment, and then asked Village Chief Lu:

"Village Chief Lu, I would like to ask, which village is Lu Cuifu's family in your village? How many people are there in the family?"

"Shijia Village! As for how many people..."

Village Chief Lu recalled it for a while, and said:

"As far as I know, there are thirteen members of the family, two parents-in-law, two husbands and wives, two sons-in-law and seven children. Lu Cui is filling the house and has not yet had children. Her husband's dead wife left two sons and three daughters. The uncle's family has two children. A son and a daughter."

Wild pork, rice, fish, wild vegetables, the thirteen members of the Shi family, and the age and gender of the deceased were all exactly the same as what Lin Xiao had learned!
She was shocked in her heart, and stared at Lu Xiang with resentful eyes.

This woman appeared to be harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but behind her back she turned out to be a cruel and vicious scorpion!
Lu Xiang was flustered by Lin Xiao's stare, and she lowered her head not daring to look directly.

Yu Xilin snorted coldly and said to Zhao Qian:

"Master Zhao, it's your turn!"

Zhao Qian nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Village Chief Lu, and said:

"Cun Zhang, look at this."

Village head Lu took the paper, and after reading it, he was stunned, then raised his head in astonishment, and asked his wife, Aunt Cheng:
"You, you, Granny Qian and the others really saw that Lu Xiang handed things like wild boar to Lu Cui?"

"Yes, yes, old man, what's the matter?"

Aunt Cheng also looked at Village Chief Lu in confusion and asked.
