Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 140
Wanwan helped her sit on the stool, poured another bowl of water, and asked her to calm down first: "What can I do, you don't know what's going on in our house, how can you compare with that Liang's mansion. However, There is a way to try it.”

Wanwanniang's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "What can I do?"

"Pretend to be sick! As long as no one comes to make trouble these days, I think it will be fine!"

Can you pretend to be sick?But at this time, she can only trust her second daughter!

Speaking of this matter, there is really no way around it, and pretending to be sick is also an expedient measure. Although she said a lot of things to comfort her mother, she actually didn't believe that the other party would be so kind.

A proud person does not allow himself to be teased at will, let alone a woman who is about to succeed.

Don't let it happen, I'd rather destroy it, Wanwan is afraid that Mr. Liang is this kind of person.After thinking about it, she still had to inquire about the situation of the Liang Mansion. After much deliberation, she finally thought of Xiangxiu, because Xiangxiu had stayed in the town for a long time, and had also stayed in a rich family. heard.

On the way home, Wanwanniang had fully figured out that they had indeed offended Liang's family, and their lives were not as important as their lives.Returning home in a panic, she told Wanwan's father and Wang Xiaocao what she had said.

Wang Xiaocao's face was ashen. She didn't believe that the man who had been fond of her not long ago would treat her like this, but thinking of the fierce appearance of the matchmaker that day, the last bit of faith was also shaken.

Wan Wan's father was squatting on the threshold of the main room, smoking a dry cigarette without saying a word, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead was layered with law tattoos.

Wanwanniang was worried and anxious and nagged a lot, but the other two were silent, she couldn't help saying: "Old man, are you talking?"

Wan Wan's father put out the cigarette, got up and walked to the main room to sit down, sighed heavily and said: "I told you a long time ago, this marriage is impossible, but you don't believe me. What can I do now, I can only follow what my second sister said. I tried my method.” Turning his head and glancing at Wang Xiaocao, who was sitting beside him with his head down and weeping, he said solemnly: “Who doesn’t want to be rich, but we have to weigh our weight first, now you always know how rich you are.” Isn't the door easy to enter? From tomorrow on, do as your sister said, and you are not allowed to go out again."

Wang Xiaocao felt even more aggrieved, and ran into her room crying, covering her mouth.

That night Wanwan only talked about it with Baishou, but the next afternoon when she was in the courtyard she saw Xiangxiu passing by the door, she called Xiangxiu to stop immediately.

"Are you back so early today?"

"Yeah, I haven't been with Mai Cao for quite a while, and it just so happens that there's nothing going on in the village right now, so the steward will allow me to rest tomorrow." Xiangxiu said with a smile.

After a few greetings, he smiled and invited her to come in and sit down.Xiangxiu glanced at her. There have been a lot of gossip about her in the village recently, and Wanwan rarely invites her to sit in the house. She hesitated a bit, and then she went into the yard.

The two sat down in the main room, Wanwan soaked the chrysanthemum fragrance in the pre-boiled water, Xiangxiu took the bowl and smelled it, there was a faint floral fragrance, took a sip, and then said: "This tea smells like a fragrance It tastes sweet, but it tastes sweet, you are amazing, I have never seen such a thing before."

"It's not a rare thing, it's all the wild flowers I picked on the mountain when I had nothing to do, dried it and used it to make water to drink, we don't have the money to buy those expensive tea like the city people, so we just order things by ourselves Come and drink. If you like it, take some back later. If you can add two dried dates, it will taste better with some sugar."

Xiangxiu's eyes brightened.I had never heard of this way of drinking tea, so I decided to try it when I went back.Putting the bowl down, she looked at Wan Wan with a smile and said, "Thank you then. I don't have much good stuff, but if you have anything, I can help you, just let me know." She said very sincerely.

Wan Wan was taken aback, did he act too obviously?This Xiangxiu is indeed a transparent person!
Faced with Xiangxiu's generosity and frankness, she herself felt a little embarrassed, so she briefly explained the matter, and finally asked her: "Do you know Liangfu well?"

Xiangxiu glanced at her, and said seriously: "I've heard of this Liang Mansion before. Mr. Liang is handsome, but he seems to be a playboy. Although there is a concubine at home, he goes out with his relatives all the year round. I don’t have a lot of flower houses outside, and I don’t know how many confidante..."

Which one of the wealthy sons in ancient times was not romantic, this is naturally expected.

"I don't know where your friend is from. We people in these places don't know, but in the town, everyone knows that Mr. Liang values ​​appearance very much." Although Xiangxiu was not at home for several years, but I still know the outstanding girls in the surrounding villages.

"Not from our village, but from other villages." Wan Wan said with a smile.

Xiangxiu glanced at her, picked up the bowl and took another sip of chrysanthemum tea, and said slowly: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, if it's not convenient for you to tell, you don't have to."

Although Xiangxiu has some disputes in the village, in terms of character, she is much better than those gossiping women. I have met many times and know that she is a generous and trustworthy person.After thinking about it, Wan Wan told the truth.

After Xiangxiu heard this, she frowned and thought about it, and said: "Although my friendship with you is not as good as some people in the village, I like your temperament. Since it is your sister, I advise you to let your sister give up this idea. Marrying into the Liang Mansion is really not a good place to end up. A man is the most unreliable thing!"

Bend nodded.

Xiangxiu said again: "Your judgment is also correct, why would those high-ranking and wealthy families let us, the countrymen, play tricks? Your method is indeed good, but those people are not easy to deceive, and they can only look at you It’s my sister’s.” Then she looked at Wanwan with admiration: “Your sister is lucky to have you as an older sister. As the saying goes, I’d rather be a poor man’s wife than a rich man’s concubine.”

Wanwan didn't expect Xiangxiu to think that way in her heart, and thinking about what she did before, it was a little confusing.

After sending Xiangxiu away, after dinner she packed up, Wanwan lay on the bed staring at the roof, thinking wildly, if Wang Xiaocao really did something, the Liang family would really pursue it, maybe she and the two sisters Wang Li would also be implicated.Thinking of Xiangxiu's sentence "Mr. Liang likes a beautiful woman, but no matter what, he will never marry someone who is going to die."

Is it true that Wang Xiaocao is going to die?

In the past two days, some people in the village have been imitating their house to widen the eaves and walk, asking Baishou to help, and the next life follows his ass every day, wherever Baishou goes, he follows Baishou.

So during the day, Wanwan is almost always at home alone, and the other two only come back for dinner.

Originally, everyone wanted to invite Baishou to have dinner at home, but Baishou was worried that Wanwan would be alone at home, so the other party said that he should also come over.But Wanwan thought about it and helped a little. It is not very good to eat at other people's homes all day long, so he politely refused, so the family of three still ate at home.

Time passed by little by little, and the bacon smoked a few days ago was almost done, so Wanwan took a few people to the Zhuangzi.Shopkeeper Yu didn't want any of those dried pork livers, and customers who went to restaurants rarely ate them.Wan Wan asked Baishou to load all the things on the bullock cart.Packed all the cured goods and handed them over to shopkeeper Yu. After all the handover was over, she took people back to the village.

Some people who said that they wanted to taste these dried internal organs before, according to their words, had someone send them over, and the rest were hung in their own kitchen. When they saw it in the next life, they were happy and clapped their hands, shouting: "From now on, there will be more of them every day." Eat the meat!"

That night, Wanwan cooked a pair of pork liver to taste, cut it into slices, put it in a bowl, it tasted dry and fragrant when chewed, in her previous life she hated this kind of cured meat the most, but now it tastes amazing .

She also specially asked someone to bring back a jug of wine, and poured some for Baishou and Laisheng. It is best to pair this kind of dry food with wine.The two of them ate with smiles on their faces.Baishou also sighed comfortably: "We will make some dry goods like this every year in the future. It is convenient and delicious, and it is also fresh to greet guests!"

Yuanbao's family and Shitou's family also took the pork liver back home. After tasting it, they both thought it tasted good.

On the morning of the second day, Yuan Baoniang came to find Wanwan again: "...everything tastes good at home, and this way of eating is also fresh, I want to save another one for Chinese New Year."

Wanwan smiled and took three payments to her.

In the afternoon, Shitou Niang also came. Seeing Wanwan, she was quite embarrassed: "...you asked me to ask for more, but I still didn't believe it. Only after I tasted it did I know that it's really good, and it's also very convenient."

After Yuan Baoniang came in the morning, Wan Wan guessed that Shitou Niang would come, and gave her the three pig livers he had prepared, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I still have some here, do you think three pig livers are enough?"

"Enough is enough." Shi Niang immediately responded with a smile, put the pig liver into the prepared basket, covered it with something, and finally shook it in front of her, and finally asked: "How is it? Can you see it?" come out?"

Wanwan pursed his lips and laughed: "I can't see it. It's not something valuable that needs to be concealed."

"That can't be done. If I just carry it back, within half an hour, people will come to ask you for things one after another. By then, there will be nothing left in your house." Shitou Niang explained solemnly.

Hearing what Shitou Niang said, Wanwan remembered that Yuan Baoniang also wrapped things in cloth when she left with her things in the morning.

"It doesn't matter. No one buys these things when they are sold in the market. Whoever wants them will ask for it." Wanwan said indifferently.

Shitou Niang disagreed: "I know you are generous, but you can't give it to anyone? Some people can't get a good word no matter how much they give her. If everyone comes, can you still refuse? Besides, Baishou of your family is busy inside and outside the house every day, leave it to him to eat, and there is an afterlife, this kid must also like to eat this food."

These things are quite simple to make. When you want to eat, you can go to the market to find someone, and you need a pair of offal, take it back, wipe it with salt, and dry it. No one wants pig offal, and it doesn’t cost money.So I feel like it doesn't matter.However, I am very grateful for the concern of the two of them.

She thanked Shitou Niang with a smile: "I know that you are our family's good, I know. Then you can take the three payments back and get them if you can't eat enough." After thinking about it, she said again: "Why don't you take two more payments? Go back, in the morning, sister-in-law Qingye, I also gave her three payments, you have a lot of family members, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Shitou, take two more payments."

"No, no, no!" Shitou Niang immediately waved her hand, and immediately sighed again: "I took the first payment back and my father tasted it, but he didn't eat it. He said he didn't have an appetite, and if he took it back again, he would definitely not be able to eat it."

"What's the matter? The village chief doesn't like to eat this food?" Wanwan asked strangely.

"Hey!" Shitou Niang sighed heavily again: "I don't know why, since the last time he was sick, he took countless medicines, and his illnesses always come and go. I didn’t get out of bed, and I ate less, and I asked the doctor to see that he had an upset stomach and liver qi stagnation, but there’s nothing wrong at home recently!”

Wanwan frowned: "Did you go to the market to ask for a doctor?"

Shitou Niang nodded: "I saw it, and she said that he is not sick at all." Immediately, she frowned: "My mother went to the market and asked someone to read the hexagram, and she said that he had hit an evil spirit!"
