Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 16

Everyone dispersed, and Haitang, who was hiding in the house, came out to wash the pot and cook.When she woke up in the morning, she was still in a good mood, but unexpectedly, she was completely chilled by those people.

In the morning, she plans to do some housework, and then prepares lunch to wait for her parents and sisters. Although heavy work can't be done, it's okay to do some simple housework.Later, more and more people gathered around the door of her house to look at the newly-launched bricks, and from time to time they talked about her affairs with embellishment, and the people in the second and third rooms were noisy again angrily.She really didn't dare to go out to scold her, so she could only hide in the house all the time.

Now that everyone is gone, she finally took a breath, but the matter is not resolved, how can she relax.

When Ding Xiang saw that Haitang was going out, she lowered her head and tried her best to clean the pot. After brushing for a long time, she kept brushing and brushing, almost breaking the bottom of the pot.Ding Xiang put down the knife for cutting pickled radishes, came over and said, "Sister, the pot has been washed, you go to rest in the house, Zikui and I will cook."

With red eyes, Haitang secretly wiped away a tear and entered the house.When she saw her parents sitting there worrying, she felt even more uncomfortable. All this was caused by her, and she really didn't know what to do except blame herself.

The purple sunflowers were on fire, and the cloves were cooking. Because I was in a bad mood, I only fried three pieces of corn tortillas and a plate of pickled radishes for dinner.But Ding Xiang still has a heart, and boiled an egg for Haitang.

The meal was very depressing, Meng Gui and He Shi sighed again and again, they were afraid that as long as the Wei family came and told the truth, they would lose all face.

Ding Xiang asked: "Father, did you really tell the uncle and nephew of the Wei family that you got the money the night before?"

Meng Gui nodded, "At that time Wei Erzi was very surprised when he heard that our family was going to build a new house. You must know where ordinary people have the money to buy a house. Wei Erzi travels around all the year round. Not only he built most of the new houses in Liangfeng Town, but also our Qingshan People in the town also love to ask him to work, and he knows most of the family background in the whole Qingshan Town. He is afraid that the source of our money is unknown, so he has to ask in detail, so I will tell the truth, not to mention that he has also heard of the Begonia. matter, but I did not mention that this matter has anything to do with Sun Hong."

The He family beside him sighed again and again, "Oh, I'm afraid the money must be scored, but it still has a reputation of hiding money, how can we look up to others in the future."

Zikui yelled impatiently: "Mother, what time are you still worrying about your reputation? Is our family's reputation always good? The money is not divided, do they dare to reach out to grab it? If they dare to stop Our family is building a new house, and I will fight with them desperately. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken. Who is afraid of anyone! They won't let our family live well, and I won't let them go around. People in this world are bullying and fearing hard. Let others bully you."

When He heard Zikui say this, she became even more worried, "Third girl, don't make trouble. With your temperament, mother is really worried that you will cause trouble in the future."

Zikui pouted unconvinced, "I'm not afraid of causing trouble!"

Ding Xiang looked anxious at the whole family, and she felt uncomfortable, "Father, don't worry, the Wei family's uncles and nephews may not be able to tell the truth. Think about it, most of the households are poor, and few people usually build houses, and they have no work. If we don’t work, we won’t be able to earn money. Now our family has finally come to our door. Can’t they just earn some money for the New Year? If we tell the truth, our family has no money to build a house, and their job will be ruined. Think for yourself, the Wei family are not fools."

Ding Xiang analyzed the slim possibility, she really didn't dare to look forward to it, she said this only to comfort her family temporarily.She has seen that Wei Dashan before, his temperament is really unpredictable, and his words are inconsistent, maybe he would rather tell the truth without earning the money.

Meng Gui and He Shi also felt that it was unlikely. Although the Wei family uncle and nephew wanted to make money, they should not dare to hide anything due to the pressure of so many people.Although Ding Xiang's consolation didn't have much effect, it made them feel that there was a leeway and they wouldn't despair.

After eating, Meng Gui and He Shi counted the bricks at the door, fearing that someone would steal a few bricks, and then piled up the stones they picked home.After finishing their work, they squatted at the door and waited blankly, hoping that Grandpa Meng would not invite the nephew and uncle of the Wei family.

But things backfired, and the pair of uncles and nephews were really invited.The villagers seemed to have a third eye, and immediately knew the situation, and they all gathered around.

Mrs. Chen rushed to call out Father Meng and Mrs. Wu, except for Yusen who had gone to play somewhere, and the people from the second and third rooms had already put on their poses.

Grandfather Meng couldn't wait to ask the nephew and uncle of the Wei family on the way, and he already had the answer in his heart.For the sake of fairness, he asked Father Meng to personally ask the nephew and uncle.

Wei Dashan is tall and straight, while his uncle is thin and short, he looks like a child in front of Wei Dashan.Although Shorty Wei is short, he has a shrewd face, and when he comes over, he smiles at everyone and bows his hands, like a person who is left and right.

Wei Dashan didn't know as many people as his uncle, so he didn't have any expression, just looked a little lazy.When he saw Ding Xiang, his expression finally changed. He blinked his eyes, and he was sure he was right. Isn't this the girl he met that afternoon?It turned out that this happened to her family, she couldn't be Haitang.

No, she doesn't look like someone who is more than four months pregnant, her sister must be Haitang.Then I saw a younger sister standing next to Ding Xiang, looking like a desperate Sanniang.Then he thought of Ding Xiang's unabashed and unrestrained personality that day, ouch, no wonder people said that her three sisters were all unusual, and they really were.

But he knew how to measure, he just glanced at Lilac and Zikui, and then at everyone, but he didn't show that he knew Lilac.

On the road before, what his uncle said to Grandpa Meng made him very dissatisfied. He felt that his uncle was just talking nonsense in order to make money. With some emotions, he didn't even want to come here. He is not the kind of person who can tell lies in order to make money.

But he couldn't stand up to his uncle in front of grandfather Meng. If that was the case, their uncle and nephew would not be able to earn a living in the future.

After standing still, he saw clearly that Dingxiang's family lived in a low woodshed, and the clothes they wore were patched like patchwork. It seemed that life like this was even more difficult than his family's.Meng Gui and his wife were in their 30s, but they looked like they were in their forties, and their expressions were so nervous that they were almost twisted into rags.

He also saw everyone's aggressive attitude towards Ding Xiang's family, and then thought of how much he had said to Ding Xiang that day for no reason, and even mentioned that he was regretting his marriage, the scale in his heart was somehow biased towards Ding Xiang's family.

Perhaps it is easier for the poor to sympathize with the poor, not to mention that it is too embarrassing for five people to live in a small dilapidated firewood house, and a new house should be built.

Father Meng came over to say hello to Shorty Wei. Although they had never spoken before, they still knew each other.

Wei Xiaozi smiled brightly, "Father Meng, I know about your family's affairs. I think, if the Haitang incident can be reduced to a small one, don't make it big. It will also affect your family's reputation if it is passed around, right? Meng Gui The eldest brother has always been an honest farmer. If he got the money before the family split, he would definitely share it equally. How could he deceive others? Last night he went to the animal's house to get the money, and he happened to meet me on the way back, so I Speaking of building a new house, I even invited him to my house to drink tea and talk about it in detail.”

Father Meng and Wushi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the eldest son hadn't lied, and they were also happy to be parents when his son was able to build a new house.

It's just that the people in the second and third rooms refused to accept it, so Mrs. Chen kicked Meng Qing, and Meng Qing stepped forward to ask Wei Xiaozi, "Wei Xiaozi, you didn't deliberately lie for my elder brother just to earn a wage, did you? If this is the case, don’t even think about taking jobs in our Qingshan Town in the future.”

Shorty Wei's face froze slightly, "Meng Qing, what you said..."

Before Wei Xiaozi finished speaking, Wei Dashan walked straight up to Meng Qing, and said coldly: "Our uncle and nephew rely on craftsmanship for a living, so why be biased. As for whether people in Qingshan Town will find us to work, it's not a question. You have the final say. Haitang was spoiled by a shameless man, she didn't know how much pain she felt, and she had to swallow her humiliation and being ostracized and ridiculed by you people, and she didn't complain about living in a woodshed. It's hard to get the compensation last night, you guys There is trouble today, I heard that you are also a person who has studied for a year, how can you not be as good as a rough guy like me who can't read a word?"

Meng Qing's face turned red with anger, "You...Wei Dashan, do you have a relationship with my elder brother in private?"

"Friendship?" Wei Dashan sneered, "Bullshit friendship, I am only 19 years old, and he is already a member of my father's generation. What kind of friendship can I have with him? Forgotten friendship, ridiculous! No one in your village has built a new house for five or six years. Well, anyway, I have been working with my uncle for three years, and this is the first time I have come back to Mengling Village. It’s just that you look so ugly when you are greedy for other people’s money.”

Then he turned his head and said to Wei Xiaozi: "Second uncle, the matter has been explained, let's go too, I have to go up the mountain to cut firewood."

After Wei Dashan finished speaking, he strode away with his hands behind his back. Wei Xiaozi still bowed his hands to Grandpa Meng and the Meng family politely, then nodded to the villagers with a smile, and then slowly left.

Grandpa Meng waved his hand and said: "The matter has been clarified, everyone should go away. Father Meng, I actually found out about this matter on the way. I also suspected that Meng Gui was lying before. I thought it would not be such a coincidence. But I still believe the words of the nephew and uncle of the Wei family. Shorty Wei is not only good at craftsmanship, but also a man, so people love to find him to work. Why should he ruin his family for irrelevant people. Besides, I have heard about Wei Dashan. He is the least likely to cover up and tell lies."

Father Meng smiled and nodded, "Yeah, we should have believed that the boss is the one. Second and third, stop sticking around here and go to work quickly. The firewood for the winter is not ready yet."

At this time, Wu Shi looked at Chen Shi and Qi Shi with a serious face, "Don't hang on to the boss's money, quickly take off the old cotton clothes and trousers that the children can't wear, so that they can make a few clothes." Bigger ones, otherwise it will be so cold in winter that you will cry for your father and mother!"

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Qi looked at each other, really annoyed, the elders must have several taels of silver, even if they could get one tael, it would be good.

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more sad she became. Could it be that she wants to see everyone living a good life while her family is suffering? Haha, how can she not be as good as Mrs. He.She had no choice but to vent her anger on Meng Qing, "We will go to work in Liyao tomorrow, and we can earn a few pennies a day."

Just as Meng Qing was about to speak, Wu Shi raised his face, "Second daughter-in-law, have you had enough trouble? Li Kiln is driving people out now, so how could they accept them? Besides, once they enter the kiln, if those stinky people If you deliberately pretended not to see and groped your body, do you still have the face to go back to the village?"

Mrs. Chen was so humiliated by Mrs. Wu, she was so angry and ran into the house crying, Mrs. Qi pretended to follow her to comfort her.Everyone else dispersed, Ding Xiang quickly closed the door, and the family could finally hide in the house and be happy.

But soon the four of them went out to work in the mountains, so don't act too complacent.On the way up the mountain, Zikui said happily: "Second sister, you really guessed right, the uncle and nephew of the Wei family really spoke for our family in order to earn a wage."

Meng Gui and He Shi also thought so, only Ding Xiang knew that Wei Dashan was definitely not the kind of person who would easily lie for money.He must have seen that her family was too shabby and was forced to be miserable by a group of people, so he should give it all to her family.
