Yoshida Mii

Chapter 142 Repayment
Dong Bao and his party were dumbfounded, and it took a while for Li to say: "This, this is too merciless."

Retiring a marriage is an extremely disgraceful thing, not to mention going to the door with great fanfare to withdraw a marriage. Enmity is nothing more than that. Where can I put the face of Miss Dayong?
"You don't know!" Lao Cheng said in a low voice, "The young mother and sister-in-law talked about it at first, but then they quarreled for some reason, and his mother and sister-in-law ran out. People don't give in, and it's ugly to chase after them, and the young daughter-in-law of that family couldn't hold back, so it became like this. The eldest daughter of Lao Yang's family happened to go back to her mother's house today, tsk tsk, I'm afraid that my mother and sister will suffer."

Dong Bao stepped on his feet and glanced at the crowd, and couldn't help curling his lips. If Gui Zhi had been so virtuous and virtuous, maybe everyone wouldn't have discovered that the old Yang family had such a tough fighting power. Shi is not an opponent.

"It's none of our business." Mrs. Li was about to go home, pulling Dongbao, "Your Aunt Guizhi is separated, and she probably won't care."

Back home, a few people simply cooked the food. During the meal, Dongbao discussed with Mrs. Li and decided to pay back the rest of the money today. Although the time between the two payments was too close, there was no way , the shop will open soon.There are a lot of folks who go to the market in Yuanshui Town every day, and they definitely can’t hide it. If the folks know that Li has the money for renting a shop but doesn’t pay back the debts, it’s hard to say what people will think. After all, it involves money. How many people can sympathize with the difficult situation of Li's mother and daughter.

Just like the last time when Aunt Mantang heard Shuan Ziniang say that Li's mother and daughter had money to buy pastries in the town but didn't pay back the money, she was so angry that she came to the Song family to make a fuss.Aunt Mantang and his wife are not bad-hearted people, but people's hearts and morals are like this, so people have to beware.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Li Hongqin, Mrs. Li still asked Lin Fu and the village chief to be intermediaries, and went to the village to pay back the money from house to house. The family also sent two catties of tofu and two meat dumplings.

At this moment, Gui Zhi brought the two children over, and seeing that only Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu were there, he explained with some embarrassment: "There is a lot of noise at home, and the children are afraid at home. I will bring them here for a while." He bowed his head and instructed The two children said, "If you want to be obedient when you come to your mother's house, just sit in front of your mother and don't move around!"

"Auntie, why are you so polite!" Dong Bao laughed, she didn't forbid employees to bring their children to work!
Zhang Xiuyu really likes Guizhi's two children, a seven-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy, black and thin, cute and cute, she grabbed a lot of fried soybeans from the kitchen and gave them to the two children. He smiled and said, "Take it and eat."

The two children glanced at Gui Zhi, and after getting Gui Zhi's nod of agreement, they shyly thanked Zhang Xiuyu, and sat quietly beside Gui Zhi to eat beans.

"Auntie, what's going on with your family now?" Dong Bao asked, it's not true that she's going to divorce, right? Darong's sister is going to go out next year as planned, so it's hard to get divorced now Found a suitable in-laws.

Guizhi wiped her face, feeling that it was inappropriate to tell the two little girls about it, but Dongbao was not an ordinary little girl in her eyes, no one else knew about it, but she knew very well that the family of Mrs. Xiucai belonged to Dongbao. When Bao was in charge, he sighed and said, "It's still arguing. My mother-in-law said she wanted to ask someone to make peace, but he... refused." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help adding another sentence, "I regret it now, I just made peace with you. Why don't you talk about it when you come here, and offend everyone!"

Dong Bao recalled the night when Gui Zhi committed suicide, and saw Gui Zhi's fierceness and toughness. Things, if you act too tough, you will be disgusted by others, but sister-in-law Guizhi is self-inflicted.

Thinking of this, Dong Bao couldn't help but rejoice, and squinted her eyes with a smile. Fortunately, she has Brother Dashi, so she would never dislike her.

In the afternoon, Li Changfeng led a donkey and brought an old man over.

"It's just a coincidence." Li Changfeng said with a smile, "I haven't met a donkey seller in the town for the past few days. In the afternoon, I saw this master come to the town to collect goods. He said that his family had a donkey for sale, so I brought it to you. have a look."

The donkey is not big, only a little taller than Dongbao. It has gray-black fur and long ears. It stands there very docilely. It lifts its tail from time to time to drive away the flies on its back.

Dongbao's hands were itchy, and he couldn't help touching the donkey's soft and moist fur. The little donkey felt Dongbao's touch, and turned around to look at Dongbao. A pair of big black eyes were moist, looking at Dongbao's My heart softened all of a sudden, and I immediately fell in love with this little donkey.

Mrs. Li hurried to call Lin Fu and Qiuxia again, buying livestock is a big deal for farmers, so they need to find a few experienced people to see each other.

Lin Fu's family didn't have any livestock, and he didn't know much about how to choose livestock, so he called Liu Sheng, the eldest son of the village chief.

After Liu Sheng arrived, he first patted the donkey's belly, asked Lin Fu to lead the donkey for a few steps, then opened the donkey's mouth to look at its teeth, and finally asked Dong Bao to feed the donkey with bean dregs.

"I don't think it's bad." Liu Sheng whispered to Lin Fu.

Lin Fu nodded, and conveyed this meaning to Mrs. Li and Li Changfeng, and Li Changfeng came to ask the old man the price.

From the moment he entered the door, the old man squatted on the side smoking a pipe, and looked up at the little donkey from time to time. Now that Li Changfeng came to ask the price, he knew that the family must be satisfied with their donkey. After knocking on the pipe, the old man said proudly: " The little donkey in our family has been taken care of since he got it from the mother donkey. He mixed peanuts into the straw and fed it to the donkey. This donkey is already one year old, and it can work in the fields when we buy it. It has been raised for nothing all the time, and I didn't let it put on airs, because I was afraid that the little donkey would be exhausted."

At this moment, many spectators gathered around the door of Dongbao's house, and a few children who played well with Quanzi ran into the yard to pet the little donkey.

Donkeys are not as strong as mules and oxen. Except for pulling mills and carts, farmers don’t feed many donkeys.The children were very fresh when they saw the docile little donkey.

Quanzi guarded the little donkey with the posture of "the master". He was the king of children, and all the children in the village listened to him. At this moment, they are lining up in a row to touch the little donkey one by one. It was with his permission.

Dong Bao smiled and watched the children playing with the little donkey. She thought that she was not really a ten-year-old child, and she would not be able to play this kind of game with Quan Zi.

Li Changfeng is a businessman, so he naturally understood that the old man said this to raise his own price, so he smiled and pulled the old man aside and started talking.

After the two chattered for a while, Li Changfeng went to Li Shi and said, "Five taels of silver, do you think so?"

Mrs. Li didn't know the price of the livestock either. After hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded and said, "The price is fine. The donkey is a good donkey with a strong body and a good feed. When it grows up, it can pull the plow. Rent it out when the farming is busy." , and earn a lot of money.”

"With Brother Liu's words, I feel relieved." Li Changfeng laughed.

Liu Sheng looked at Li Changfeng in amazement, "Why... Brother Li wants to buy this donkey?" Isn't it bought by a scholar?But thinking about it, Mrs. Xiucai should have no money on hand now, didn't she just pay off her debts!

"No, I don't need a donkey. Now my sisters are short on money, so I'll lend them first." Li Changfeng explained with a smile.

Liu Sheng nodded and complimented Li with a smile, "Sister-in-law has a good brother!"

The lady of Xiucai is a miserable person, and her husband's family is unreliable. Fortunately, she has an elder brother from her natal family who is willing to take care of her.

The old man who sells donkeys often drives his own donkey to the town to pull goods, and he is an acquaintance with Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng wants to put the donkey in Dongbao's house first, and ask the old man to follow him to the town to collect money, and the old man has no objection.

After the transaction was completed, Mrs. Li and Dong Bao went to the kitchen to quickly cook a few dishes, entertained the old man and Liu Sheng, and accompanied Lin Fu and Li Changfeng.Fortunately, there are many melons and fruits in summer, and with the fresh tofu pressed in the afternoon, it is not difficult to cook a few dishes.

The last dish was deep-fried eggplant box, which was made by Mrs. Dongbao and Quanzi hurried to the old-fashioned grocery store and bought a jar of wine back.

After all, Dongbao's house was full of orphans and widows, and it was not convenient for a few big men to drink in the yard. Each of the men lifted a corner of the table, moved the table to Lin Fu's house, and had a hearty drink.

A few people drank to their heart's content, and Dongbao sent another basket of pumpkin cakes. Seeing that their faces were flushed from drinking, he said crisply: "Uncle, you have to go home later, I will Mother told you to drink less wine."

"Hey!" Li Changfeng responded with a smile.

Liu Sheng waved at Dong Bao, and said with a smile, "Come on, uncle, I ask you, you cook this dish? I heard that your cooking is delicious, but I just saw it today!"

Dong Bao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, most of them are made by my mother. My craftsmanship can't match my mother's!"

The old man who sold the donkey wiped the oil from his mouth and said with satisfaction: "My mother-in-law has also bought tofu a few times. Today, I tasted the tofu from Mrs. Xiucai's house, and I realized that the dishes made by my mother-in-law are not good!"

"Once you like to eat it, you will come to the town to look for our Baoji tofu!" Dong Bao laughed, "We are here every day."

There were laughter and laughter in Lin Fu's yard, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.The atmosphere in the Song family is not so good. It's not the busy farming season now. Second Uncle Song is either hanging out or sleeping in bed. Second Aunt Song can't help but get angry.

"Why are you still sleeping!" Second Aunt Song was furious when she saw Second Uncle Song lying on the bed when she came home.

Second Uncle Song frowned and yawned, and said displeasedly, "There's nothing wrong at home, what's the matter with me?"

Second Aunt Song didn't care about arguing with him, she sat on the bedside and said, "Do you know? The old man bought a donkey today! And the sky said that she has no money, what a ghost!"

Although the donkey was paid by Li Changfeng, she still couldn't help being jealous, she didn't have such a generous brother.
