*************
Mrs. Zhao lost her temper for no reason, making Qiduo's family angry too.

For Zhao Shi, Qiduo also endured it for too long, and she is not going to bear it anymore today, nor is she going to give her any more face.
Mrs. Zhao herself is shameless, so why save face for her.

But Qiduo stopped Xu Shi who wanted to come forward to argue with Zhao Shi with gestures.

Mrs. Xu is a daughter-in-law, if there is a conflict with Mrs. Zhao, the master of the village will be unfilial to Mrs. Xu, but I am a child, so I am not afraid of it.

Qiduo took a deep breath, suppressed her anger for a while, pointed to the basket of lotus root for Mrs. Zhao, and said to Liuju and Erxia, "Eldest sister, second sister, take this basket of lotus root back, we spent money on it." I bought it and sold it tomorrow."

Erxia Liuju nodded, and really came forward to carry the basket to the inverted room, and put the lotus root back into the room.

Zhao's eyes started to fire.

The seven black eyes were cold, looked at Mrs. Zhao, and said very seriously, "The rules are for everyone, and our family's money does not come from floods. How to calculate wages was made very clear in front of the patriarch yesterday. .

Also, among the dozens of people digging lotus roots today, only the third uncle did the worst. They only dug a total of 60 catties of lotus roots, but there were more than [-] catties of broken lotus roots. salary.

Grandma, this is 330 Wen wages, here it is. "

She held three strings of copper plates and thirty pieces of copper plates in her hands, and handed them to Mrs. Zhao.

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Zhao pushed Qiduo's hand aside, a few copper plates were scattered on the ground, and rolled away.

"420 Wen, don't you still want to rely on wages? Now that we have separated, we can't do your family's affairs for nothing. Take all the money." Zhao insisted on her own ideas shamelessly.

In her opinion, Qiduo's family dug up these lotus roots and didn't know how much they would sell them for, but they still haggled over the wages with her, it was really hateful.

No matter what, the salary must insist on 420 Wen, and tomorrow she plans to ask Tan Guihua and Tan Dalang to dig lotus root too.

Qiduo handed the wages to Mrs. Xu, looked at Mrs. Zhao, and said seriously, "Grandma, if you have any objections to the wages, we can go to the patriarch grandpa to discuss it. I made it very clear yesterday, and everyone signed and pledged."

"Damn girl, how dare you speak to me with such an attitude. Your parents are used to you and don't want to beat you, so I will teach you a lesson for them." Zhao was enraged, cursed, and raised her hand. Fan Qiduo's face.

"Mother, you can't." Mrs. Xu shouted loudly, trying to stop her.

Qiduo avoided easily, and pulled Xu Shi aside, shaking her head, telling Xu Shi not to interfere in this matter.

"Why did you hit me?" Qi Duo looked at Zhao Shi and asked, her eyes were already burning with anger. It is really sad for ten lifetimes to have such an elder.

"Damn girl, you are so sharp-tongued, why should you hit you? I am your grandma, and you are my granddaughter, so I can beat you!" Zhao raised her chin, shouted in a high-pitched voice, and raised her hand again. rise.

Qiduo didn't dodge, but just grabbed Zhao's wrist, squinted her eyes, and said, "Grandma? Are you my grandma? Grandmas always look after their children and grandchildren, and always help them.

How can there be a grandma like you who makes things difficult for her children and grandchildren everywhere, and wants to force them to a dead end, even worse than an outsider.

Like this salary, other people will do what they said yesterday, no one said anything else, and everyone is very grateful to our family.You are the only one who is not only dissatisfied, but also picks and chooses and insults us. Is there any grandma like this?

Let's go, let's go to the patriarch's grandfather to judge, and see whether I am unfilial or you are disrespectful. "

As soon as Qiduo finished speaking, she used all her strength to pull Mrs. Zhao out of the courtyard, really going to find Patriarch Tan.

Xu's mouth opened, realizing that Qiduo's words were too serious.

But she also agrees with Qiduo's point of view, masters like Mr. Zhao are indeed rare in the world, and they really don't deserve to be respected by servants.

"You... you damn girl..." Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale with anger. How long ago was she scolded so directly by her granddaughter, so unbearable.

Where did she dare to meet Patriarch Tan? When she came over from home just now, old man Tan told her to stop in moderation and not make too much trouble.

But being dragged by Qiduo to see Patriarch Tan like this now, it is bound to let the whole village know about it.

Qiduo is just an 11-year-old child, it doesn't matter, but she is dozens of years old, and she can't afford to lose face by following behind.

Mrs. Xu saw the hesitation on Mrs. Zhao's face, turned her eyes slightly, and immediately went to block Qiduo, "Qiduo, don't go to see the patriarch, it will make everyone in the village know about it, your grandma Where do you put your face?"

It seems to be persuading Qiduo, but it is actually pointing out that Zhao's fault is in this matter, not Qiduo.

Qiduo wiped her eyes, her eyes were red, and said with a stern neck, "No, I not only want to ask the patriarch to judge, but also call all the people in the village to judge together, and see if I am wrong or not. Who was wrong."

She couldn't use the strength in her hands, and continued to pull Zhao Shi with all her strength.

"You child, how can you be so stubborn, let your grandma go." Xu continued to mix.

"No, grandma is dissatisfied with her wages, saying that we depend on her wages. It's too ugly to say that. We can't bear the crime." Qi Duo insisted.

"Okay, okay, give me the salary." Zhao Shi gritted her teeth and accepted Qiduo's salary very unwillingly.

Seeing that Qiduo was really determined to drag her to see Brigadier Tan, she had to give in.

Only then did Qiduo let go of Mrs. Zhao, handed over the wages to Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Since you are not satisfied with the wages, grandma, then don't let third uncle and the others pass by in the future, so as not to talk about such boring things, we don't want to Taking advantage of you."

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her breath was short of breath. If Tan Decai and the others were not allowed to dig lotus roots, then the money would be lost in vain.

Although it's not too much, if you stay at home, you won't lose copper coins in the sky.

"Damn girl, it's hard to count on you. How to calculate the wages in the future, follow the rules. But there is one thing, let your sister-in-law and Da Lang go there together tomorrow." Zhao gritted her teeth.

"No, sisters Santao, Sizao, and Wuxing, please don't go again tomorrow, that kind of thing is not suitable for them to do, let alone sister-in-law and brother Dalang." Qiduo raised her eyebrows and immediately refused the proposal. unreasonable request.

"Whoever says it's inappropriate, every catty you dig is a catty." Zhao's triangular eyes were full of calculations, but more of them were anger.

"It's okay if you want them to go, then you have to dig out the whole lotus root. If there is any leftover lotus root, they will pay our family the money. The three of them didn't dig up a whole lotus root today. Those lotus roots are not enough for them to waste. .” The expression on Qiduo’s face became more and more determined.

"How dare you not let them go." Mrs. Zhao was about to lose her temper again.

"That's my family's lotus pond. I have the final say on who or not to let go." Qiduo raised her chin.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Qiduo for a long time with eyes that gouged out flesh, and then nodded, "Okay, damn girl, just wait for me."

After leaving these words, she walked out, and when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she turned her head and pointed at the pile of lotus root, "Where was the lotus root just now?"

Qiduo stared at the sky speechlessly, she was too shameless.

"You don't care." Qiduo said coldly.

Mrs. Zhao stomped her feet resentfully, then turned and left, her heart ached so badly, she regretted why she didn't hold the basket in her hand just now.

After closing the courtyard door, Mrs. Xu let out a long sigh, "Oh, it's really not easy to earn some money."

"That's right, I just didn't expect that the people who came to block our way turned out to be my own family members. It's really chilling." Liu Ju answered.

Qiduo felt deep sadness in her heart, it would be better not to have such a family.

But I can't let Mrs. Zhao's behavior affect my mood, there are still many things to be busy at the moment.

To wash all the remnants of the lotus root, Qiduo is going to wash them and sort them. Sell the ones that can be sold as much as possible, and sell them at a lower price. If you can’t sell them, you can fry them into balls or pancakes, but don’t waste them.

The three Qiduo sisters went to the pond to fetch water and came back to wash lotus roots.

The skin of the lotus root is easy to clean, mainly because the mud in the pores of the lotus root is not easy to clean. If the mud is not cleaned, it cannot be eaten.

Qiduo couldn't be bothered with this. She went to Tan Dama's house next door to catch a rooster, and plucked a few long feathers from its tail. brush to use.

The two daughters and the eldest daughter-in-law of Tan Dama's family took the initiative to help.

Qiduo didn't refuse, with nearly [-] catties of lotus root, relying on just four people, I really don't know how long it will take until the year of the monkey.

Tan Dama's eldest daughter is Tan Qiuhua, who is 15 years old this year, and her youngest daughter, Tan Donghua, is 13 years old. Qiuhua is strong and has dark skin. She looks very capable.Donghua is a little thinner, but her hands and feet are still agile.

The two sisters are dull-tempered and not very talkative.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is not tall and has a mediocre appearance. Her personality is exactly the opposite of that of the two sisters-in-law. She loves to talk and laugh, but she is also a hearty person.Talking in the mouth, but the work in the hands does not stop, and he is also capable.

Sister Qiuhua, Wang, Erxia, and Liuju were in charge of cleaning, and Qiduo and Xu were in charge of picking, smoothing off the uneven fractures, and then soaking them in water. If they were exposed to the air, the fractures would be damaged. The place soon became nude, very ugly, and it will be even harder to sell tomorrow.

With the help of sisters Qiuhua and Wang, Qiduo and the others felt much less stressed.

Everyone was busy until dinner time, when more than half of the cleaning was done, the three sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law of the Wang family got up and said goodbye. They were going home to cook and feed the chickens.

Seeing that the three of them were very careful and capable in their work, Qiduo had an idea, and decided to hire the three of them to help with washing lotus root and other tasks. It cost ten cents a day, but in fact, they couldn't do it for a whole day.

The sister-in-law was very happy to hear that, they live next door, the work at home will not be delayed, and they can earn some extra pocket money.

But they were too embarrassed to accept it directly, and they declined it. After Qiduo's persuasion, they accepted it gratefully.

Although ten cents a day doesn't sound like much, the average man can only earn fifteen cents a day for part-time jobs, and the heavy physical work he does is still the kind that can't rest all day.

They told Tan Dama after returning home.

Tan Dama immediately ran over and said some words of gratitude, which made Qiduo a little embarrassed.

Tan Dejin and the others hadn't come back yet, Qiduo and Mrs. Xu were cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Liuju and Erxia went to send some lotus roots to Mr. Tan, and they were going to give them away, but they were annoyed by Zhao's actions before and deliberately angered her, so they refused to give them.

Qiduo washed the relatively fragmented lotus root pieces, cut them into thin shreds, then added flour, chives and salt, stirred them evenly, and then fried them into golden pancakes on both sides.

"Duo, I have something to tell you." Xu, who was lighting a fire on the stove, suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Qi Duo asked with a smile.

"A matchmaker came to match your elder sister today." Mrs. Xu said with a slight sigh.

If it was in the past, she would definitely not have told Qi Duo about this kind of thing.

But it's different now. After going through the Lin family incident, she no longer treats Qiduo as a child, but as the pillar of the family. She can only feel at ease when she tells Qiduo about something.

　I recommend "Jiangmenjiao" by my good friend Feiyan, ISBN: 3090110 Introduction: In the Dasheng Dynasty, the frontier rages, and the five sons of General Zhenguo's family go to the battle, and they may sacrifice their lives for the country at any time.
