Chapter 43 Wu Shi
He also shouted: "Look out on the road, come back earlier."

Xia Hibiscus was still supporting Xia Senlin with thick branches behind her, but she was silently calculating what to buy next.

"I said forest, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, even a beast will miss your old parents, look at you, you are prosperous and rich, if you don't honor your parents, you will get it, and you will indulge your crazy daughter Beating my aunt and cousin, which tutor is this, what face do you make me always have to meet people?"

He was less than 50 meters away from the door when Wu rushed out in a blue and white cotton summer shirt. When he saw them, he was called a beast and unfilial.

Mrs. Wu is over sixty years old, but because of her hot and lazy nature, she stopped working after relying on Father Xia. She took good care of herself and looked much younger than ordinary women of the same age.

"Mother...this..."

Although there is not even a bowl after the separation, but in this backward era where filial piety is respected, even if Wu Shi limped and disabled Xia Senlin, he would not be able to say a word. Xu, looked worriedly at the calm Xia Mujin, then faltered and didn't know what to say.

"If you want to treat me as your mother, then use these wild game to honor my old couple."

Wu Shi put her hips on her hips and poohed, her greedy eyes never left the game in the basket, and without shame, she opened her mouth to the lion, these game...

Talking about the old couple is more like a jingle.

Xia Mujin pulled the corner of her mouth, threw away the branch in her hand, stepped forward to join Xia Senlin in a few strides, and did not shout when she saw Mrs. Wu, but said indifferently: "Oh, my father's surname is Xia, your child My surname is Zhou, does my family’s game have anything to do with you? Why didn’t you think that my father is the eldest son of the Xia family when we separated, and he deserved the most. Come to mourn at this time, and you have not done your filial piety. The skin is thicker than that tree bark, I think, there is no second one in Tianli Kingdom."

In her memory, she has been oppressed by the Wu family for many years, and was almost ruined by her for money several times. At this moment, seeing this face and taking a look at it, she felt that her eyes were insulted.

Besides, today, she is no longer afraid of her, she will accompany her if she wants to beat her, scold her if she wants to.

"Look, look, this little bastard, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are so powerful, no wonder, you were born without a mother, even if you marry a daughter-in-law, you still don't know You idiot, how can you teach children."

Wu's whole body trembled with anger. She had suppressed Xia Senlin's family for so many years, but now she was scolded by a stinky hoof that she had always looked down upon.

Wu's voice was thick and loud, and after a short while, the noise attracted the attention of the neighbors. In addition, it was noon at the moment, and everyone had not gone out to work, and they all rolled up their trouser legs and rubbed their eyes to see them.

Aunt Xia, Song Zi and the others were also brought over. Seeing this situation, Aunt Xia became even more at a loss. She has always been most afraid of Mrs. Wu.

Xia Mujin had already caught sight of her mother's timid eyes and trembling body, clenched her fists under her sleeves, and stared at Wu Shi as if her eyes had been poisoned.

"Oh, look, this forest family is devoid of conscience. They eat and clothe themselves, and leave us, an old couple who are unable to work, to be struck by lightning. It's terrible, this day is about to change .”

Seeing many people coming out, Mrs. Wu immediately beat her chest and stomped her feet, and sat on the ground crying loudly.

This seemed to be her trump card, whether it was against Papa Xia or Xia Senlin's family, she would use this trick every time, and the more people there were, the more sad she would cry, as if Papa Xia and others had bullied her.

"Uncle, what's going on here?"

Ergou is the only one in the village who has not married a wife at the age of 25. Because his family is poor and his parents are weak, they both left after spending all their savings at home. He paid off his debts while working hard. With all the savings, when he realized it, he was already past the age of marriage. He was a real and capable person, and it was good to socialize with Xia Senlin's family.

Besides, he knew something about Wu Shi, but at this moment he asked worriedly.

"You ask him, does he have the face to say it?" Before Xia Senlin could reply, Wu stared at him coldly and said harshly.

The corner of Xia Mujin's mouth pulled, and she stood up suddenly, and said with a faint smile: "Grandma, uncles and aunts, my grandma saw that my family caught some wild game today, so she got greedy and wanted to go all of them. This, is it?" Good thing, it means that our grandma regards us as her own family. Since she is her own family, the land, fields, and soil should also be re-divided. My father’s surname is Xia and he is an outsider. Besides, my grandfather’s surname is Xia Ah, besides, the family has been divided and the people have been kicked out, if you still have the cheek to ask people for things like this, isn't it disrespectful?"

What Xia Mujin said was reasonable and indifferent, besides, the whole Damiao Village knew about their family being kicked out, and the village chief even came forward to mediate, but in a word, Mrs. Wu, she took care of her own affairs, and it was not her turn. When others intervene, even if everyone is angry, there is nothing they can do.

"Do you think so? Uncle?" At this moment, Zhou Yousheng and his brothers also rushed over, and Xia Muqin spotted it immediately, and asked back with a smile.

For a moment, the brothers looked complicated, and after looking at each other, they heard Zhou You said: "What is Jin'er talking about, do you want the uncles to move out and sleep on the street, and give you the house?"

When Mrs. Wu heard what the eldest son said, she jumped up from the ground and said, "Dream his Spring and Autumn Dream, do they have the life to live in such a good house and land?"

Hearing this, Xia Mujin laughed, very happily, and took out a fat pheasant from the back basket, shook it in front of Zhou Yousheng and the others, and said calmly: "Uncle, Uncle, my grandma just said, my Xia I don’t have that life to live in a good room and sleep in a good bed.” As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Wu Shi, and said coldly, “Then? Are you all destined to eat this pheasant?”

Her words were cold, with a cold murderous look, Wu suddenly remembered Wang Shoucai's fate, and immediately stopped talking.

Zhou Yousheng's brothers, Sheng Shi Lingren just now, were also taken away by dogs at this moment, and they lowered their heads with different expressions, not looking at Xia Mujin.

I heard that the Wang family has invited several doctors, but it has been almost an hour, and there is still no progress. Wang Shoucai seems to be paralyzed, and has been maintaining his previous posture.

"Father, let's go. If you have self-knowledge and live your own lives in the future, if you always think of using dirty tricks to frame others, I, Xia Mujin, will accompany you one by one."

Seeing their appearance, Xia Mujin breathed a sigh of relief, then uttered harsh words again, and then left without looking back.

Aunt Xia tightly grasped the fabric on her chest, and she was relieved until Xia Mujin and the others walked away. She pulled the pine nuts and walked towards her door without daring to look at Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu stared fiercely at Xia Mujin's and the others' backs for a long time, but glanced at the sons who were not up to date, and entered the room with her sleeves flung.

At the same time, I snorted coldly in my heart, Xia Mujin, don't be complacent for too long, I will always find a way to subdue you...

Selling firewood and wild game kills two birds with one stone. Uncle Panzi worshiped Xia Mujin when he saw her, so he almost treated her like a god. Su Yanchu also welcomed her very much, and even invited her to drink tea. It was to ask her to cook a table for him in five days.

Xia Mujin readily agreed, but if there is a request, the cost will increase from 20 taels to 100 taels in addition to bringing a dish, and also told him that there will be a surprise for him that day.

Su Yanchu was still hesitant about the 100 taels, but after hearing what she called another dish and surprise, he agreed.

After drinking tea, chatting, and earning money, Xia Mujin was in a better mood, and took the 40 taels from today's sales to a knife shop, bought a set of knives, and also bought a pair of practical scissors. The most important thing is to go to the pharmacy to buy thirteen incense and other materials.

In the end, I bought rice, glutinous rice, and corn kernels. I passed by a grocery store and bought some seasonal seeds. Seeing the sun go west, I stopped under Xia Senlin's nagging.

On the way back, she saw some pork bones and pork offal at a meat stall, so she bought some of the same and added some suet.

"Jin'er, what are you buying these for? They don't want them!"

When Xia Senlin saw that her daughter had been cheated, and bought bones and pigs into the water, she was anxious at that time.

Xia Mujin seldom went to the town before, and she didn't know that these things were disliked like fish roe and fish bubbles, so she frowned at that time and said, "Father, you said that people bought these and didn't want them?"

Xia Senlin was taken aback by Xia Muzhen's strange question, stared at Xia Muzhen for a long time, and then said decisively: "Jin'er, what's wrong with you, I often picked up these things back last year, but Your mother said that these were not clean, so she threw them away."

"Ah?" Xia Muzhen felt a flock of crows flying over her head. It turned out that their family was not poor, but they thought that pig bones and pig offal were things that could be discarded. I can look up to the sky and sigh.

"Father, you wait here, I'll come as soon as I go." Seeing that almost everything she needed to buy was sold, Xia Mujin didn't have much time to worry about the pig's bones and pig's offal, so she glanced at the oil shop not far away , then said to Xia Senlin and walked towards the oil shop.

When he came back, he had two big cans of oil in his hand. Xia Senlin started to feel distressed after seeing it. He just bought suet, and he bought two big cans of oil. Today, the dozens of taels should bottom out again.

Xia Mujin didn't pay attention to her father's gloomy expression, she put the oil on the cart and clapped her hands, looked at the things on the cart, made some calculations in her heart, and felt that it was almost done, then said: "Father, let's go home .”

"Hey!" After a while, Xia Senlin responded, and then put the hemp rope on his shoulders, and began to walk with his head muffled.

Xia Muqin was puzzled for a while, looking at the thin back, the corners of her mouth curled up, it seemed that his father had started to have trouble with money again.
