Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 223, Living at Sister-in-Law Xiao's House
After listening to Ma Xian, he felt that Fang Huai was taking advantage of the fire to rob, which was extremely shameless. He might as well persuade shopkeeper Zhou that these broken kilns should be abandoned, and it would be better to dig a new cave to work.

"Shopkeeper Fang, you are too much..."

Fang Huai interrupted him and smiled: "Brother Xian, go back and tell your shopkeeper that I will only give her two days. If she doesn't come the day after tomorrow, I will give this broken kiln to others and not sell it." Give it to her!"

Given two more days, he thinks highly of these broken kilns!It is impossible for shopkeeper Xiao to marry their family for a few broken kilns.

"Shopkeeper Fang, my shopkeeper has gone to the deep mountains, and he may not come back in two days! You are too deceitful, so you are not afraid that my shopkeeper will go to the county to sue you? You really have a way of doing business!"

He was annoyed and didn't know what to say about Fang Huai.

Fang Huai's face turned cold, and he snorted and smiled: "Yo, even a vulgar mountaineer like you knows the way of business? When I was selling porcelain, you didn't have teeth yet. If you dare to tell me the way of business, even It's that shrew Xiao, she is not worthy to talk about business in front of me, so go back and tell your shopkeeper, if you want Lao Tzu's broken kiln, money and marriage, you can give it if you want, if you don't want it to be better than business, don't do it , even if I keep those broken kilns and turn them into rubble, I won't sell them to her!"

Mr. Ma was afraid of ruining Xiao Qing's business, so he didn't dare to say a word.

He stood up and bowed, and said in a bad tone: "Master Fang, I will definitely bring your words to you. If Shopkeeper Xiao returns the day after tomorrow, I will not be able to bring this word. If you don't sell it, you will die in Yaoshan! Farewell!"

Fang Huai raised his eyebrows lightly, and smiled: "No!"

Ma Xian turned and left angrily.

After the horse left first, Fang Huai stood up, flicked his sleeves, sneered twice, then went to the study humming a ditty.

"Look at the account book!" Fang Huai said to himself: "Who dares to covet my things, then exchange them with more valuable things, hum!"

……

That night
Xiao Qing and others were left on Yaoshan Mountain.

In the deep mountains, you can rest near the water sources everywhere, so Ah Luan also has four or five residences. On this hilltop near Yaoshan Village, he also has a resting place. He took Xiao Qing and others to his residence.

Xiao Qing slept alone in the innermost part of the cave, while a group of people lay in the outermost part, with a big stone blocking the middle, which was considered to be convenient for Xiao Qing.

Qu Zhongyi didn't feel sleepy, after a day of exhaustion, when he closed his eyes and thought about what happened during the day, he was afraid, and when he heard a little wind and grass outside, he just thought about the black beetles and mosquitoes passing by.

In the past, they only heard about the dangers of Yao Mountain, but they didn't expect it to be terrifying after experiencing it themselves. If it wasn't for Ah Luan today, they might all die.

He couldn't sleep, so he just sat up and looked at the valley at the bottom of the mountain. There is a spring here, which can be used for irrigation by the villagers at the bottom of the mountain. If he can go back tomorrow, he will report to the county magistrate to build open and hidden canals.

Just how should they go down the mountain tomorrow?

"What? Can't sleep?" Ah Luan walked up to him and asked.

Qu Zhongyi sighed: "I've lived for thirty years, I haven't seen such a scene, I'm timid for a while, I'm ashamed!"

Ah Luan smiled: "No problem!"

"By the way, brother Ah Luan, shall we return to the same place tomorrow, or is there another way down the mountain?" Qu Zhongyi was worried all night.

But the reason why Ah Luan can’t sleep is that several of his residences will be occupied by them, and he will have no land to live in in the future. If they want to build open and hidden drains, they will definitely move mountains and rocks. He can sleep anywhere he wants, or It's okay to go down the mountain, just afraid that when they build the canal, the painted faces will make trouble for them.

"There are vines on the mountain. Let them get up early tomorrow morning to climb the vines and weave long ropes, which can reach halfway up the mountain. When you get to the middle of the mountain, the terrain is not too steep. You can choose the way down!" Ah Luan said.

Qu Zhongyi listened to his polite words, and asked curiously: "Brother Ah Luan, why do you live here alone in the mountains? From your accent and speech, you sound like a native of Shangjing. You are probably a scholar. Could it be that you are originally from the village next to Yaoshan Mountain? "

Ah Luan lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't know!"

Qu Zhongyi only thought that he didn't want to talk about it, but he didn't know that he really didn't know who he was, and he didn't know where he came from.

"By the way, I heard you call that fat woman, her surname is Xiao?" Ah Luan was quite curious about the fat woman.

I always feel that there are countless treasures and curiosities in her bamboo basket.

Qu Zhongyi was surprised: "Didn't you know her? You don't even know about her?"

"Should I know?" Ah Luan asked.

Qu Zhongyi: "..."

So, Qu Zhongyi told Ah Luan about Xiao Qing's background and her situation.

After listening to it, Ah Luan was secretly amazed, thinking of a teenage girl with such sophisticated weapons and good at poetry, calligraphy and painting: "I'm afraid she was a remarkable person before she was 12 years old!"

"No matter what she was like in the past, these days, she has a good reputation. You have never seen her fierce, domineering and vicious appearance before. She is really powerful. There is no one in the hundreds of miles who doesn't know her." Qu Zhongyi whispered Said: "I heard from the neighbors around her that after a serious illness, she went to the underworld and was afraid of retribution after death. That's why she changed. Do you think it's strange?"

"Been to the underworld?" Ah Luan smiled without saying a word.

He doesn't believe in those ghosts and gods, there must be a reason for something strange, this woman is not an ordinary person.

"Now that Mrs. Xiao has lost weight, her appearance is outstanding, and she is still so capable, I think she will have fewer and fewer days as a widow in the future." Qu Zhongyi said.

Ah Luan thought about how pitiful this woman is, she is still so young, and she has been delayed by the old Qiao's family all her life. Although they have friendship, they don't need to talk too much about family affairs.

"Master Qu, if you want to divert water, do you have to pass by my residence?"

Qu Zhongyi hasn't thought about this level yet, and he doesn't quite understand it. When he goes down the mountain tomorrow, he will first report to Mr. Shi how to deal with the woods and muddy land, and second, he will ask the county engineering staff what to do. aisle.

"Brother Ah Luan, this mountain is dangerous, why don't you choose to go down the mountain?"

Ah Luan never thought about going down the mountain, but starting today, he actually wanted to go down the mountain to have a look.

"There is no place to live and no food at the foot of the mountain. What are you going to do down the mountain? And I'm used to it in the mountains."

Qu Zhongyi said: "Well, let me turn around and tell Sister-in-law Xiao that when her house is built, you will live with her first, and you will come back when the canal in the mountain is dug. Although Sister-in-law Xiao's family has many people, the house It's enough to live, let me tell her, if you work as a long-term worker in her house, is it not free to live?"

Ah Luan hesitated when he thought of the fat woman.

"She's a widow, I can't live in her house!"

Qu Zhongyi laughed loudly: "Don't worry about it, tell the outside world that you are a long-term worker she hired. Her family's business is doing well now. You have helped us so much. I will help you solve these trivial matters when I go down the mountain. Besides, you are skilled. So good, her family's business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and she needs a thug by her side."
