Fertile land

Chapter 123

The next day, news spread in the village that the matter was finalized.

It was Luo Zhi'er who broke off other people's corn, trampled on the crops, stole it and lost the money!

Li Ergou's wife now felt more at ease at home and felt happy.

She was so happy that she hummed a tune, and it was like a big rooster crowing when she entered the house.

She inquired about the results last night.

This morning I purposely wandered around the village and checked their voices. They were all cursing Luo Zhi'er, which basically gave her a dose of reassurance!

She also became more courageous!
Li Ergou rolled his eyes at her fiercely, "Humph! You bitch! Are you so happy that I'm paralyzed?"

"No, sir, I just heard something!"

So he excitedly told Li Ergou about the matter vividly. Li Ergou felt that something was fishy and strange.

"Is this Luo Zhi'er just stupid? If she didn't steal, why would she pay for it?"

The man rolled his dark eyes.

"Master, she is alone and helpless now. If she doesn't let so many people block her yesterday, how can she and her mother be fine?"

"Is that so?"

"That's right, let's keep things quiet, do you understand?"

"Ok?"

Li Ergou's eyes were murderous.

"Well, I used the wrong word. She, Luo Zhi'er, wants to reduce her presence. She doesn't want to cause trouble at this moment when she is in jail at Lao Li's house!"

"She is afraid of being ostracized and kicked out by everyone!"

Juhua felt that Li Ergou was worrying too much. He had been a very talented and bold man for so many years, but this time he was paralyzed, but his courage was shrinking!

Li Ergou thought about it again,
"Gousheng's mother, are you sure Luo Zhi'er didn't see you yesterday?"

"Ok!"

Juhua nodded heavily.

"Hey, I said, Goudan, please don't worry. I'm going to do a lot of research in the village today, and everyone will be on the same page."

"She closed the door and knelt down, crying with tears in her eyes and a lot of snot in her nose. It was so miserable. She was just afraid that everyone would target her and drive them out of the village!"

"She knelt down and begged them not to drive her and her mother out of the village. She, Li Zhengxin and the others patted their chests and promised that they would never cause trouble again from now on. They paid the money, so they didn't let anyone spread the word!"

"It's a pity that there is no airtight wall. The more it is hidden, the more everyone wants to know. Doesn't the whole village know about it?"

"So miserable?.Okay!"

Feeling slightly satisfied.

"but."

"what happened?"

"Hmph, I thought Luo Zhi'er was too poor to open the pot. By the way, where did she get the money to compensate?" Li Ergou gritted his teeth.

"Um, yes, this Luo Zhi'er is quite naughty. Huh, wait, when the Zhou family comes back, she will definitely look good on her!"

"You stinky bitch, you're such a pig-brained person. That's not what I meant. I mean, since she can hide money, where did it come from?"

"Could it be that there really was some business relationship with that middle-aged man yesterday?" Li Ergou narrowed his eyes alertly!

"Oh, by the way, I just showed you the corn cobs I broke off. I forgot to tell you!"

"Fuck away!"

"Gou Sheng's father, Luo Zhi'er took Miaomiao out yesterday to catch frogs, crabs, and eels, those useless things!"

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Ergou suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly. "Master, don't get excited. I just think she's hungry, so I'm going to catch those disgusting things to eat. The thought of it makes me feel uncomfortable. There's no need to talk about it!"

Li Ergou's wife was so frightened by his ferocious appearance that her face turned red and she said tremblingly.

"It's so stupid! It's so stupid! It's said that a good wife can bring prosperity to three generations. I'm looking at you, a mother-in-law, who is here to harm me!"

"It's because I married a stupid bitch like you that I'm so poor and unable to make a fortune, which caused both of my legs to be broken!"

Juhua felt aggrieved, what did this leg have to do with her?One leg was broken because he was caught stealing, and the other was broken because you were lustful and molested a woman!
"You dare to say it's necessary? I'm looking at it. Her money-making business is probably this frog."

After many years of experience, he can conclude that there must be something fishy about this frog and eel.

"No way"

"come here"

Li Ergou leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered softly, his chrysanthemum eyes flashed, and he reluctantly said, "Okay!"

Luo Zhi'er took out the frog he caught yesterday at home and changed the water.

Miaomiao squatted on the ground beside the barrel, stretched out her little hands and counted them one by one, ".two, three, four, five, six."

After counting to eleven, he could no longer count. Luo Zhi'er was secretly lost in thought. He had better catch this thief quickly!
Then teach Miao Miao to count to 46, and then count to fifty and one hundred. She will not go out today.

After changing the water, I found out the pen and paper I bought earlier, and taught her on the stone table under the big persimmon tree in the yard, writing her name, Taoyuan Town, Li Sanmao, and her name one stroke at a time. .

Miaomiao wrote from one to one hundred, and then wrote the names and ages of the three of them. They practiced outside until lunch and then had lunch in the afternoon.

The couple stayed at home almost today, while Li Ergou and his wife, who were watching outside not far away, were miserable.

I saw the little girl eating fried noodles one bite after another, and sipping the crucian carp and tofu soup until she took the last bite into her mouth.

She secretly scolded Li Ergou for giving her this hard work. This Luo Zhi'er didn't go out at all today, how could he monitor her every move?
Who do you talk to specifically and what do you do for a living?

This Luo Zhi'er, every time she went to carry a bucket or carry a basket, she thought she was going out, so she waited for a long time and then sat down!

Seeing that both the mother and daughter were full and burping, she touched her hungry and deflated belly and returned disappointed.

Seeing her come back in disgrace, I asked her why, but instead of being comforted, she was cursed by Li Ergou.
"I didn't know that I would have died sooner if I didn't find out the news. If I didn't hurry up and cook, I and Gou Sheng would be so hungry that our chests are pressed against our backs!"

"."

Didn't you say that you are not allowed to go back until you find out the information?

He moved his lips and said what he wanted to say, but he couldn't bear it!

Who knows how to cook well, but still get scolded for a while: "Is this feeding pigs? Forget it if there is no meat star, not even a vegetable leaf?"

"Master, I was wrong!"

She knew that everything she said was wrong, so she might as well admit her mistake directly.

"roll!"

Luo Zhi'er didn't know what happened at Li Ergou's house.

When it was so dark that only the stars and moon in the sky could be seen, her eyes flashed cunningly, and she took Miao Miao out again.

In ancient times, there were no TVs, mobile phones, or entertainment options to pass the time. Rural people usually went to bed early after doing physical work for a day!
When I went out, it was basically pitch dark in the village, and I could only see the densely packed small stars and the moon twinkling in the sky.

Bring the barrel, the pliers, and this time there is an extra torch.

The two of them took advantage of the moonlight and walked to the mud in the ditch next to the sparsely populated field to touch eels.

Listening to the sound of rushing water and the sound of crickets, fireflies flew and stopped on the vegetation in the field.

Miao Miao pointed to the sky and counted the stars, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and fifty."

Until her eyes were blurred and she lost count. Then she started counting to the fireflies flickering in the darkness in the field, "One, two, three."

"Mother, Miao Miao counts, right?"

"Well, yes, Miaomiao is very good."
