Fertile land

Chapter 117

Luo Zhi'er took Miaomiao for a walk around the town first, and both of them were a little distracted.
We found a food stall on the street, sat down and ordered a bowl of large wontons to satisfy our stomachs.

I bought some daily necessities and looked around to see if there were any new business opportunities!
She walked to the place that sold pens, ink, paper and inkstones and bought Miaomiao pens, ink, a pile of paper, and a small abacus. She wanted to teach her how to read first.

The family values ​​boys over girls, and I don’t know when she will be able to go to school.

I returned to the village just after dark. There was no Zhou at home nagging and urging me to do anything, which made me feel at ease.

But when walking such a long distance, it’s common to get blisters on your feet.

Fortunately, after the two people's experience in the morning, she bought a pair of comfortable soft-soled cloth shoes for herself and Miaomiao, and bought two sun hats.

Zhou controls the rice, flour, grain and oil at home, and the door is locked, and she has no habit of picking locks!

In the past few days, I ignored the gossip in the village and continued to travel through the mountains and forests to pick up fungi.

In my spare time, I would go to the sparsely populated mountain cols to catch some frogs. At night, I would go to the fields and canals with pliers and a basket on my back to catch eels.

During the day, the door of the house was closed, and occasionally a loud-mouthed woman would inquire about her family's affairs. When Lao Li's family didn't come back, they wanted to bury her as a punching bag.

Seeing that the door of her house was closed early in the morning, she chatted a few words on the road, saying that the old Li family was ruining the reputation of the people in Zhaoli Village, and then gossiped and cursed Li Lei.
When Li Zhengxin, Zhao Zuzu and Li Zuzu met him, they scolded him a few times.

The matter has not been finalized yet, so let them stop talking nonsense. If they cause trouble and make the official angry, it will really harm Zhao Licun. If anyone spreads the news again and is caught by them, he will be locked up in the ancestral hall and placed on a chun stool. He went back angrily.

Speaking of which, Old Li's family can be regarded as a troublemaker in this village. In the past few days, Old Li Tou put the whole village on guard. Of course, only he knew the reason for this, and Li Ergou was also the same.

It is necessary to send someone to handle it day and night, for fear that bad guys will come to cause trouble and attack the villagers.

This matter has not yet passed, and the entire family is in jail again!
If it weren't for the fact that they were born and raised in Zhaoli Village, their ancestor, Old Li Tou, was a good man. When he was a child, there was a famine in the village, and Old Li Tou gave him, Li Zhengxin, a bowl of rice to eat. People of their generation were so protective of their shortcomings that they really wanted to drive them out!
Over at Luo Zhi'er's house, there were people throwing cow dung and rotten vegetable leaves at her house. They wrote the word "prison", "prisoner!" and "scammer!" on the door and the wall. They even made her feel in the dark when she came back after dark. I stepped on cow dung and fell down, smelling stinky all over my body.
After running around for a day, she was still treated like this. She was also angry inside, and she secretly cursed all the eighteen generations of Li Lei's ancestors.

Miaomiao quickly helped her up, who was stumbling with a look of embarrassment on her face, her eyes filled with distress and uneasiness.

"mother"

She said a few words of comfort!

"No problem!"

"Miao Miao, don't be afraid. Grandma, dad and the others will be back in a few days. The people in the village are not aware of the situation. That's why they are like this. It won't be like this when your dad and the others come back!"

"But... they all say that my second uncle is a liar who sells fake goods to deceive people! So, that's why they hate us, so they throw dirty things at us, right?"

"Miaomiao, this is your second uncle's mistake. He is old. He must bear the responsibility for his mistakes. It is not Miaomiao's fault, nor his parents' fault. There is no need for you to feel inferior because of this!"

"Father, mother, Miaomiao, they all stand upright and behave themselves!"

This girl has obviously had a low self-esteem these past two days. She doesn't dare to raise her head when meeting the villagers. She always hides alone except when talking to her!
"Okay!" The confidence in his eyes returned a little. "Daddy, he."

"Okay, you are such a silly girl! Mom knows that you are worried about your father. Do you believe in mother? Dad is absolutely fine! Look, weren't Miao Miao and mother released after investigation?"

His confused eyes lit up, "Yes! Daddy must be fine!"

"now it's right!"

"Are you hungry after running around all day? Mom will prepare something delicious for Miaomiao!"

"Ah."

The little chicken nodded like it was pecking at rice!Luo Zhi'er's eyes flashed.

snort!After looking at the cow dung under him, he realized that among the people who threw the dirty things, it must have been the work of Li Ergou, his wife, and her man, Li Ergouzi.

Although Li Ergou's legs were crippled, he was still evil-minded. He cursed and cursed while lying in bed, but he was still evil-minded. He stole Xiong Xiongzi's meat and felt guilty.

I thought that by adding insult to injury, I could drive their family out of the village or ruin their reputation, so I wouldn't be afraid even if it happened!Who would believe the words of someone who has been in prison?

In addition, he himself is disabled and his mentality is becoming more and more abnormal. Maybe he thinks that seeing other people's misfortunes and bullying them will satisfy his heart!
It was irritating to say that even when she went to fetch water from the well in the afternoon, she deliberately went to a spot with fewer people. When she got there, she met Li Ergouzi's son and Gouzheng playing there.

When the boy saw her coming, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "This is terrible! Someone come quickly! Fatty Luo from the old Li family really came to the well to draw water!!!"

The villagers immediately cheered and a group of people came!The main targets are some chatty and idle women.

They are dedicated to guarding this precious land, a pure land, and it must not be polluted by their family!

Seeing her standing next to the well carrying a bucket, he immediately began to ostracize her, "Luo Zhi'er, don't even look at me. What is your identity? Can you eat the water in this well?"

"You still dare to come here to fetch water to eat? You have no self-awareness!"

"Yes, you have been in prison. Bah, bah, bah! Bad luck! If I stand with you, I feel like I will be unlucky for a hundred years! Be conscious and get out of here!" said Li Ergou's wife.

Luo Zhi'er looked at her coldly: "Aunt, since it's bad luck, I, Luo Zhi'er, won't rush to your Li Ergou's house to look for bad luck!"

"Speaking of which, Uncle Ergouzi was eating, drinking, and having sex in bed. Why did you come here to trouble me without taking care of me?"

Doesn’t it look like she’s not worried about Li Ergou at all?
"Hey! You're pretty cool, aren't you? Look, everyone, look at how stubborn Luo is. Let's drive them out of the village! They'll save us trouble!"

"that is!"

"Forget it, it's too harsh to drive you out, Juhua, you have to be spared and spared. We didn't say anything if something happened to you two bitches. This is an orphan and a widower, and the old Li bosses are still in prison. , how are the two of them doing?" Finally there was someone soft-hearted, Luo Zhi'er took a closer look, Li Daniu's mother!Chrysanthemum's face was red and white.

A group of people were all talking, and the general meaning was that the people of Lao Li's family must not be allowed to eat at this time. They would not share the same well water with people who have been in prison. It is unlucky and bad luck!

Impact on future generations!

She was stunned and didn't let her draw water. She glanced at her second uncle, Zhao Xiaomei, who was also in the crowd. She shrank behind the crowd in embarrassment, with complaints written all over her face, because your family and our Li Zhengsen family were also Excluded!

Suddenly, Zhao's second daughter-in-law raised her voice and said: "Hey, let me tell you, Xiaomei, what are you hiding from? You are you and she is her. You have separated a long time ago, and you are not a family! Every grievance has its owner, and every debtor has its owner. We can still tell the difference!"

"That's right, Aunt Meihua, don't worry about it."

"Count it! Count up, that's one branch, kiss it!"

"Hey, according to what you said, that's not right. Counting up in our village, there are still no relatives!"

The group was making a lot of noise, and she left in dejection!

I went to the river where Grandma Zhao fetched water and picked up a load of water.

In the evening, I went home and took care of the gallinopsis fungi, made some dinner with Miaomiao, washed up, and went to bed. Miaomiao was tired from running, and after a while she began to breathe evenly.

She tossed and turned, smelling the familiar man-scented clothes next to her pillow, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Although she is worried about Li Sanmao, she currently has no good solution, other than paying for money. If she can use the money to redeem him, how can Old Li Tou and the Zhou family give up?
As a Zhou family member, you must inquire about the source of the money and think about it carefully. Li Sanmao will inevitably suffer some physical pain in this matter. You can only wait and see and act according to the opportunity!

Two more days passed, and the second day was the agreed delivery day.

The weather is not good, maybe during the recent plum rain season, it suddenly started raining heavily again, and it couldn't stop, and it lasted for most of the day!
She didn't go to the mountains either. She planned to go to the town to deliver goods tomorrow. She saw that the ditch in front of her door was filled with water and the road was full of mud!

I'm a little worried that the dirt road will be difficult to walk on!
Before dark, she scrubbed away the messy writings on the wall, cleaned up the dirty things in the yard, and did a general cleaning inside and outside the house!

After dinner, I was in the backyard dealing with yesterday's leftover fungi when a rough inquiring voice sounded at the front door, "Excuse me, is Madam Luo at home?"

After a while, Luo Zhi'er heard Miao Miao's trotting sound. He crossed over from the main room and ran closer: "Mom, come out quickly, there is an uncle outside looking for you!"

"Oh? Uncle?"

"Yes, Miaomiao doesn't know me, come and have a look!"

Luo Zhi'er wiped two hands on her waist and trotted out. She saw a carriage parked on the roadside outside the yard. A middle-aged man in his forties with a mustache, wearing a coat Good fabric, standing aside.

There are some villagers not far away pointing and looking at the situation here with different expressions!

The middle-aged man bowed his hand to her: "Ms. Luo, my surname is Yao, and I am a coachman from Yumanlou. Shopkeeper Zhu saw that it was raining heavily today, and was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to go to the city to deliver the goods tomorrow, so he sent a young man to pick up the goods! Please forgive me if I have caused any inconvenience!"

"Where, where, you didn't greet me well, Uncle Yao, please come in quickly!"

"Eh!"

Uncle Yao, with a slight smile on his face, followed her into the yard. She quickly poured water for her. There was no tea at home. Uncle Yao saw her embarrassment and said lightly: "Ms. Luo, you're welcome, little second child." If you come here once, you can just wander around as you like, go and prepare things quickly, pack the ingredients, and I will hurry back to the restaurant!"

"it is good!"

Madam Luo also knew that the restaurant was busy. She was a little familiar with Uncle Yao. She had indeed met him once in the restaurant, so she didn't say anything more. Miaomiao also quickly helped her pack the frogs, eels, and the acorns from before. Lifted to the carriage.

I quickly packed all the goods that were supposed to be delivered, and checked that there was nothing wrong with them. "I will bring you the quality inspection report of the ingredients tomorrow!"

After saying that, he got on the carriage and left.

Luo Zhi'er was a little touched. Shopkeeper Zhu was really nice and considerate. He knew it was raining and she was fat, so he even sent a carriage to pick it up!

Although Datou was worried that she would delay the restaurant business, she was still very grateful!This was a big help for her size!
She clapped her hands, turned around with Miaomiao, and was about to go back to the house. Suddenly Zhao's second daughter-in-law stopped her: "Sanmao's daughter-in-law, who was this person just now?"

"Yes, yes! Why did I see that he moved a lot of things from your house?"

Dai Hua hurriedly came over with a questioning tone!
"Aunt Juhua, you are so idle. You can be seen everywhere. How are you doing when Uncle Ergouzi is lying on the bed? You are always concerned about our Lao Li family's business all day long!"

Luo Zhi'er said lightly.

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about this!" Juhua said with a blushing face and a rough mouth. She was actually afraid that she would blame her for not caring about Li Ergou. Her man was paralyzed, but she still had the energy to gossip outside!

This guy knew he was going to poke her in the spine.

"Nephew and wife, you don't know how. Your parents-in-law are not at home. Have you sold all the things in the house?"

Zhao Xiaomei hesitated and looked her up and down, "This idea of ​​yours is unacceptable. Your father-in-law and the others are still in prison!"

She thought she would sell Lao Li's belongings and run away!This is not impossible!

"Haha, Second Auntie is joking, how is that possible? I have something else to do, so excuse me!"

"you!"

Seeing that she didn't answer their words, several people had different looks in their eyes.
"No way, how could she, Luo Zhi'er, know such a person?"
