The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 142
"What kind of flower water did you make today? Why does it smell different from the previous few days?" Mama Liu came over and took a sniff in front of the porcelain pot. Look at Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao pursed his lips and smiled, opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, shook it in front of Mama Liu's nose, re-corked the bottle, and said mysteriously: "Mama Liu, you have a lot of knowledge, this time you can guess What kind of flower fragrance is it in here?"

"You girl, there are so many flowers in this world, how can I guess it, don't test me, an old woman." Liu Ma was getting old, but acted like a child, which made the two people next to her burst into laughter. My son also ran over to join in the fun when he heard the commotion, but was grabbed by Mama Liu and hugged her into her arms, "My dear son, do you know what kind of flower your sister is using today? Grandma will give you candy if you answered correctly."

Zhong'er was about to answer, but Qin Mengyao blinked slyly, turned his head, stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "Grandma Liu, I don't know what kind of flower this is, but that flower is very fragrant, and it looks like The balls of thread used for mother's embroidery are the same. Grandma Liu, does Zhong'er still have candies like this?"

"You little brat," Liu Ma gestured to nod Zhong'er's little head, and said with a smile, "Even if Zhong'er doesn't know, grandma will give Zhong'er candy, your sister is deliberately trying to trick me, so we won't give it to her. "

Qin Mengyao put on a sad face on purpose, and squatted in front of Mama Liu. Seeing that the beautiful sister was unhappy, Zhong'er also hurriedly broke away from Mama Liu's arms. Would rather not eat sugar."

This remark made Mama Liu feel ashamed, Qin Mengyao laughed again, took Zhonger aside, took out the porcelain bottle in her arms and handed it to Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, I was just joking with you just now, but It's a flower name—"

Qin Mengyao purposely kept it secret, and seeing Liu's mother staring at him, he turned another corner, "Why don't we exchange with each other, tell me what you heard in the room just now, and I'll tell you the name of the flower?"

Although Qin Mengyao was not very interested in Nan Chengmo's matter, the appearance of these four people today made people deeply curious. It happened that Liu Ma could hear their words clearly in the room again, so she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Know a thing or two.

"So you're here to play tricks and wait for me," Liu Ma was not angry, she raised her finger and tapped Qin Mengyao's forehead lightly, but she smiled happily, "Okay, it's not a big secret anyway, you I'll know sooner or later, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

So he told Qin Mengyao all the news he had heard in the room, and even Aunt Li who was on the side didn't shy away from it.Qin Mengyao had peeked at the note sent by Fei Ge earlier, and was prepared in his heart, but it sounded like a thunderbolt to Aunt Li's ears.

"What! Let Mr. Nan be the big shopkeeper of Shitouji in the city?" Aunt Li exclaimed, but forgot about the four people in the room. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

"The book of stone should belong to our young master, what's so strange about it!" Mama Liu was very dissatisfied with Aunt Li's reaction, and she couldn't help snorting coldly.

After getting along for a long time, Aunt Li only felt that Nan Chengmo's behavior was not like ordinary people, but she only knew that he came from the city of Pulan, and the people in the city were naturally not like country people, but unexpectedly he was the eldest son of the well-known Nan family in the city. Shocked, he sat back on the wooden bench.Qin Mengyao had guessed Nan Chengmo's identity a long time ago, so she didn't look surprised. Compared with the identity of Nan's young mistress, she preferred the life of ordinary people.

"Since Shitouji belongs to Mr. Xianggong, why did he try his best not to take over Shitouji's business today?" Qin Mengyao recalled Nan Chengmo's extremely gloomy face today, and really couldn't figure out why he could refuse this matter. Not to mention, in Liu Ma's opinion, only Nancheng Mocai is very familiar with the management of Shitouji, and Fangyuan is his former school boy companion, so it is an inevitable choice to invite him to be the big shopkeeper.

"It's not that you don't know our young master's temper. With his stubborn temper, he couldn't bring back a cow. Besides, when he left the Nan family, he was humiliated like that by that woman... Well, it's no wonder he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Nan family anymore. !" Liu Ma recalled the scene described by Nan Fu's servants, and she couldn't help feeling sad for Nan Chengmo, "Even if the young master really refuses to take over Shitou Ji, I respect his choice, old lady."

When Qin Mengyao heard that there was a ready-made storefront to take over, he was naturally happy, at least he could improve the living environment at home, but that was Nan Chengmo's business after all, even if he was full of hope, he could not influence his decision.

Just as he was thinking wildly like this, Nan Cheng Mo suddenly came out of the main room and walked towards Mama Liu.

Apparently, Nan Cheng Mo's decision had already been expected by Liu Ma. When she heard that he had decided to take over Shitou Ji, Liu Ma tried her best to control the trembling muscles on her face, held Nan Cheng Mo's hand tightly, and praised him again and again. , There were even faint tears flickering in the corners of his eyes.

And Qin Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, the family no longer needs to rely on their own strength to make ends meet, so they are naturally happy, but the words are divided into two parts. Although the family situation has improved a lot now, but since ancient times, women who have relied on men for survival, Which one is not groveling and living in the shadow of others, so even so, in order to live freely and with dignity, Qin Mengyao can't relax at all. After all, what will happen in the future is still uncertain.

However, this news was no less than the joy of the festival to Fang Yuan and the others. For the first time ever, they stayed in the small house for an unprecedented night. The four brothers drank enough wine and chatted until late at night before they each took their bedding and made a bed on the floor. Go to sleep.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when he made an appointment with Liu Laoer to pick up flowers. Li Dazhuang drove the ox cart back to Shita Village early in the morning. The cart was loaded with some vegetables and meat prepared by Qin Mengyao, and he was going to give some to the neighbors in the village to try. And Zhong'er came here on leave with Uncle Qi. For this precious apprentice, Li Laoqi had already urged him many times, and he brought him back to the village when he returned to the village today.

Everyone in Shita Village knows that Li Dazhuang's family left the house because of his mother's disrespect and yelling and scolding in the street. Suddenly seeing Li Dazhuang returning to the village with a lot of food, they all thought that the Li family had made a fortune outside, so they all made friends with each other. Inquiring about the facts, but Li Dazhuang and Zhong'er had already made up their minds and never mentioned the matter of Nan Chengmo, and Liu Laoer was also a person who read the book. Since the master wanted to keep outsiders from knowing, he kept his mouth shut and let others know. How to ask questions are kept silent.

But Li Dazhuang's old mother suddenly saw her son returning home and brought all these things. Instead, as if she had never had any conflicts, she ran to her son and grandson and took a few pieces of jerky. Seeing that Li Dazhuang didn't mention it. As for the past, he was only a little more indifferent than before, so he didn't care about it. When he got home, he said that his son went out and made a fortune, which made the eldest daughter-in-law furious, and then he stopped.

Before that, Qin Mengyao had made an agreement with Liu Lao Er to go back to Shita Village to pick up flowers every five days. in the car.

But now that most of the flowers and trees have passed the time of flowering, Li Dazhuang smelled the faint fragrance of flowers through the bag, and couldn't help but feel curious, so he took advantage of the time when Liu Laoer went back to the house to drink water, and asked doubtfully: "Second brother, what can I do?" You didn’t even see a single flower on the way here, how did you pick so many?”

Liu Laoer smiled stupidly: "Actually, there are a lot of wild flowers on the mountain, but we didn't need them before, so we didn't pay attention to them. These are just some wild flowers, and some were seen on the way to Zhonger's grandma's house. It had a name but it opened beautifully, so I picked some back.”

Li Dazhuang didn't know much about flowers at first, so he stopped asking about what Liu Laoer said, and suddenly thought of what happened in the Nanzhai a few days ago, so he changed the subject again, "I haven't come back these days, is there any flowers in Pulan City?" What big news?"

"I can't go to the city for more than half a year. I don't know what happened in the city. Occasionally, I only hear it from other people. I heard them say that the Nan family, who used to be very rich in the city, has lost their fortune. I don't know if it is true. False, but something new happened in our village a few days ago. It seems that a young boy from the city came from the city. His soul has been hooked away, and even Xian'er wanders outside that young man's yard from time to time..."

"What's the matter, now many old men in the city are tired of living, and they all like to run to our countryside," Li Dazhuang didn't care, just said that some young man came to live in a small village for a while because of his boredom. The day came back, so I chatted for a while, and after noon, I pulled the ox cart and walked back slowly.

Seeing that it was still early, he went to buy a few bamboo sticks nearby, and when he returned to the South House, it was getting dark. Li Dazhuang unloaded the ox cart and grabbed some hay and put them in the trough. It seems that there is a black shadow flashing outside, but when I look closely, I only see a wilderness, only the shadows of trees in the distance, I think it may be because of the tiredness of the journey, so I still closed the house like before. After dinner, I slept with Aunt Li in the east chamber, while Mama Liu slept on a simple bed arranged in the main room.

Mama Liu has a light sleep, and often wakes up with a little movement, but this night after dinner, she has been feeling restless, so she didn't fall asleep until about five o'clock, and just fell asleep when she suddenly heard someone calling outside the courtyard The sound was mixed with some messy and heavy breathing sounds, which didn't sound like human voices, but the snorting of wild animals.When Liu Ma heard the voice, she remembered what Fang Yuan had said about wild animals appearing nearby, and she was frightened, fearing that these beasts would break into the house, so she hurriedly got up and called Li Dazhuang to show her courage.

Li Dazhuang had already heard the commotion outside the courtyard in the East Chamber, and felt that this was not a good thing, but he didn't have a weapon at hand. When he was worried, he heard Liu Ma's movement in the main room, so he opened the door and went out. At that time, Nancheng Mo and Qin Mengyao also heard the sound and left the West Chamber.

"There is nothing unusual in the yard. It seems that the sound came from outside the gate." Nan Chengmo looked out through the window paper, only to see a faint moonlight shrouded in the yard, and there was nothing unusual.

"Thank God, God bless!" Liu Ma put her hands on her heart and murmured a prayer in her mouth, while Qin Mengyao gently comforted Liu Ma, lest she would scare the timid old lady into a bad situation.

"Hush..." Li Dazhuang suddenly stretched out his right hand, signaling for everyone to silence, then put his ear to the door and listened carefully for a while, "Someone seems to be calling for help outside."
