Pastoral little master

Chapter 144

Tan Debao accompanied Tan Dejin to see Mrs. Zhao.

Only Mrs. Zhao was in the upper house, and no one else was seen.

Seeing that Tan Debao was also there, Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Boss, didn't I ask you to come here alone?"

She was very worried that what she was going to say would be destroyed by Tan Debao.

For Tan Dejin who is alone, she is very sure that she can handle it.

"Why, what are you afraid to say in front of me?" Tan Debao immediately sneered coldly.

"Fourth, you are getting more and more outrageous now, do you still have my mother in your eyes, how do you talk, no big or small." Zhao patted the table angrily.

Tan Dejin blocked Tan Debao, who was about to get angry, with his hand, looked at Zhao and asked, "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it, we are still in a hurry to go to Luhuapo."

"Why are you going to Luhuapo at this late hour?" Zhao asked curiously.

"Let's go to see the lotus root." Tan Dejin didn't hide anything.

"Oh." Mrs. Zhao replied noncommittally, with no special feeling about it, and did not say a word of comfort, but turned back to the topic, "Boss, I came here to talk to you , fourth child, you should avoid it first."

"Say it in front of me if you have something to say, don't be sneaky." Tan Debao snorted coldly with wide eyes.

"Fourth, wait for me outside." Tan Dejin didn't want to waste time, and gently pushed Tan Debao out of the door.

"Brother, don't be fooled." Tan Debao whispered.

"Don't worry." Tan Dejin nodded slightly.

He went back into the room and sat down on the stool next to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, if you have something to say, speak quickly."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, her triangular eyes drooped, and her lips began to twitch, "Boss, your family's life is easier now, and the children are also spoiled by your husband and wife. In their eyes, I have long been gone." This old woman."

Listening to her scolding the children, Tan Dejin's eyebrows were drawn together.

He didn't know what unpleasant things happened between Mrs. Zhao and Qiduo and the others. When he came back at night, he didn't hear Qiduo and the others mention it.

But he knew in his heart that Qiduo and the others were very measured and would not take the initiative to make Mrs. Zhao unhappy.If something unpleasant happened, Mrs. Zhao must have taken the initiative to provoke Qiduo and the others.

So, Tan Dejin said, "Mother, Duo and the others are very obedient and very used to it. Who in our village will not boast when they see it."

Listening to him defending Qiduo sister and brother, Zhao's face stretched even longer, and he snorted coldly, "Why, from the tone of your words, could it be that I wronged them.

If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask now. I'm going to pay my wages in the afternoon. Qiyatou's face looks like something. She is reluctant to give a little money. I haven't said a few words yet. She...she kept saying something in front of the patriarch, she wanted to drag me to see the patriarch, she said she wanted to embarrass me or something.

What a bastard, where is there a servant who treats the elders like this, Qiyatou can be regarded as the only one in several generations of Tan family.Boss, if you don't take good care of Seventh Girl, she will crawl on top of everyone in our Tan family to make a nest in the future.

Also, Boss, you old man, why did you say in front of other people that you let the seventh girl be the head of the house, aren't you just fooling around.Qiyatou still has milk fragrance on her body, a little yellow-haired girl, don't think that she can really do things because she can read a few words.

Boss, I've raised you for decades, it's fine if you're not filial, but don't embarrass our Tan family by then, do you know?I say this, and it's all for your own good. "

She belittled Qiduo severely, hoping that Tan Dejin could go back and clean up Qiduo, so as to vent the anger in her heart.

Tan Dejin bit his lips tightly.

From Zhao's mouth, he probably guessed that when the wages were settled, Zhao and Qiduo had a conflict.

It must be that Mrs. Zhao had an unreasonable request and was rejected by Qiduo, and then Mrs. Zhao became angry and made trouble. Qiduo should drag Mrs. Zhao to see Patriarch Tan when she couldn't bear it.

Although he was not at the scene, but because of his understanding of the personalities of Zhao and Qiduo, he probably guessed what happened at that time.

Guessing the reason, Tan Dejin's face was involuntarily gloomy.

It is clear that the mother did something wrong, but she blamed Qiduohao all over. Is this the villain's first complaint?

Tan Dejin pursed his lips and said, "Mother, what kind of nature is Qiduo? I know very well that she will never deduct wages. Mother, you also know the situation of our family. It is not easy to do some things, and I will have to ask Mother for a lot of help in the future.

Mother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. "

With that said, he got up and was about to walk away.

He didn't want to talk too much with Zhao Shi, defending Qiduo in front of her would be like adding fuel to the fire, it would only make her more angry.

Whether Qiduo is good or not, he knows it in his heart.

"Sit down!" Mrs. Zhao shouted in a deep voice, with a cool light in her half-closed eyes.

"Alas!" Tan Dejin couldn't help sighing, it was really helpless to meet such an unreasonable mother.

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to talk about Qiduo anymore, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, I didn't call you here to talk about Qiyatou, anyway, you just need to know about Qiduo. Take care, do you know?"

"Well, what else is there?" Tan Dejin responded somewhat perfunctorily.

"I see that sweet-scented osmanthus is fine at home recently, and from tomorrow onwards, let her go to Luhuapo to help you..." Mrs. Zhao said.

"Mother, sweet-scented osmanthus is going to dig lotus roots too? That's impossible. How can she do such a tiring job? I dug Tian lotus roots, and my bones are about to fall apart." Before Zhao could finish speaking, Tan Dejin immediately objected.

Tan Guihua has been idle all day long, not to mention farm work, even housework, and she rarely does housework. If she is asked to dig lotus root, it is better to say that she is destroyed.

Today, Sandao's performance for a few days has already shocked him, and the pond lotus root can't stand such a toss.

Zhao was so angry that her chest felt tight, and she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

"Okay, boss, I haven't finished talking, why are you in a hurry. Who said that I asked Osmanthus to go to the pond to dig lotus roots. Don't you have other work there? When weighing, let Osmanthus help you Keeping accounts, and when you have nothing to do, look around to see if someone has stolen lotus root or something. It’s safer for your family to do this kind of thing.

We are women, so we don't need to be too clear about it. You can just give Osmanthus fifty cents a day, and you don't need too much. It's not easy for you right now.Let your sister save the fifty cents, and then make a new dress to wear. This is settled. I will let Osmanthus go to work tomorrow. You can go to work first. "Zhao said the main purpose.

She said these words without blushing and without heartbeat, and said them loudly and crisply, as if she was really helping Tan Dejin.

Tan Dejin felt cold all of a sudden, is this his mother or a bandit?
"Mother, is Osmanthus literate? Can Osmanthus settle accounts?" Tan Dejin asked back, his voice a bit cold.

"No, why can't you teach more from the sidelines? She's your younger sister, you should teach more as a brother." Zhao responded confidently.

Tan Dejin laughed back angrily, stood up, and said calmly, "Mother, I can't teach you, and Qiduo can do these things well by herself. Mother, I'm leaving first."

Then he stepped out decisively.

"Boss, come back to me. Regardless of whether Osmanthus is working or not, you should give her fifty coins a day as pocket money. That's what I should do. I'll let her go tomorrow." Zhao shouted at Tan Dejin's back.

Tan Dejin clenched the dog's head with both hands, stopped at the door, turned his head, and shook his head firmly, "No."

Then he left without looking back, letting Mrs. Zhao break his throat by shouting from behind.

"Bastard, why don't you die." Seeing that her goal was not achieved, Zhao jumped three feet from the chair in anger, picked up the broom leaning against the corner, chased to the door, and threw it at Tan Dejin's back.

But Tan Dejin walked so fast that the broom didn't even touch the edge of his clothes.

Zhao's loud yelling and cursing caused the doors of the east and west compartments to be opened, and both Yang's and Tan Decai's families ran over to ask what was the matter.

"What's the matter? Boss is becoming more and more of a thing now. There is a saying that the more he gets, the more picky he is. This is true. I asked Osmanthus to help tomorrow and asked him to pay some wages, but he was not happy. Damn it." Zhao gritted her teeth, and roughly said what happened just now.

A light of contempt flashed across Yang's eyes, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he remained silent.

Wu Shi and Tan Decai glanced at each other, and Wu Shi agreed, "Yes, I don't know how much money the lotus root in eldest brother's house will sell for. The family members go to work, and the wages are not too much. It really is picking. "

"I see Uncle Si Shu and the others drove the ox cart. It's so late and I don't know where to go." San Lang who was going to close the gate of the courtyard came over and said casually.

"I went to Luhuapo to see the lotus pond." Mrs. Zhao replied.

"Oh." Suddenly, Saburo turned around and went back to his room to sleep, he was really tired today.

Zhao was annoyed, waved the others away, and then went back to the house.

In the inner room, she and Mr. Tan were whispering, Mr. Tan shook his head for a while, and nodded for a while.

Qiduo's house in the backyard.

After Qiduo washed up in the kitchen, she was going to go back to the house with Liuju to rest, but looking at the empty yard, she felt a little uneasy.

The family dug up these lotus roots today, but everyone knows that if there is a bastard who doesn't open his eyes and comes to be a thief, and the father and fourth uncle are not at home, what should we do?

Although the lotus roots are all placed in the inverted house, the wall usually doesn't seem to have anything, but now it seems so low and useless.

Qiduo pursed her lips, and went to Xu's house together with Liuju, and expressed her worries, there would be no harm in being careful.

Mrs. Xu also nodded, thinking that what Qiduo said made sense, and raised her vigilance at the same time.

After some discussion, Erxia found two thick iron plates, and the mother and daughter went to the front and back doors, and inserted the thick iron plates between the latches.In this way, even if a thief came to pull the latch, it would not be possible to pull it out, and it would be more troublesome to climb over the wall.

Two thick logs were used to block the gate of the courtyard to strengthen the defense.

Looking at the more than 1000 catties of lotus root in the inverted house, the seven black eyes turned, if there is a thief, even if there is a lock, it will not be able to lock it, should there be some traps or something like that?

She told Xu Shi and the others about this idea.

Liuju laughed immediately, "Duo, don't be so nervous, where are those thieves, go to sleep."

Qiduo also smiled, she was indeed too nervous, people in this era are relatively simple, and there are still few malicious people.

Liu Lang tugged at the corner of her clothes, and said in a low voice, "Sister San, I'll take you to see some good things."

"What?" Qiduo was puzzled.

"Come with me." Liulang took Qiduo's hand and walked towards Tan Debao's room.

In a small wooden cabinet in Tan Debao's house, Qiduo saw the good things Liu Lang said, a few animal traps.

"Liulang, how do you know that Fourth Uncle's house has these things? But, I don't know how to use them?" Qiduo's eyes lit up, but dimmed again in an instant.

The bear trap is not big. Although it is used to catch wild animals, it is also harmful to people. If it is not operated properly, it may hurt itself.

However, Liu Lang showed a small mouth that lacked front teeth, "Third Sister, I will."

"Ah, you will?" Qiduo was startled.

"Well, Fourth Uncle has played with it before, I saw it on the sidelines, you see, it's very simple." Liu Lang nodded seriously, and opened the mechanism with a small clip while speaking.

Qiduo looked at it and blinked.

Dazed for a while, he rubbed Liu Lang's hair hard, and smiled, "You are so clever, you little clever ghost, go, put them all in the inverted room."

"Okay." Liu Lang smiled happily.

Erxia and Liuju hold the lamp, and Qiduo helps Liulang put a few traps by the door, so that as soon as the door is opened, they can step on it.

"Okay, go back to the house and go to bed." Qiduo clapped her little hands, feeling a lot more at ease.

She hoped there would be no need for these things.

After locking the inverted room, he closed the doors and windows of the other rooms before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

The third sister Qiduo slept on Mrs. Xu's bed tonight, and Mrs. Xu took Liulang to sleep. This was Mrs. Xu's arrangement, so she felt more at ease.At the same time, I took agricultural tools such as hoes and put them in the room in case of emergencies.

After a tiring day, everyone quickly fell asleep.

"Ah!" A shrill scream woke Qiduo from her sleep.
