What Wu Laosi said was reasonable. Wu Lichang could not refute it and only warned him: "Anyway, I should restrain myself. Even if you have to pretend, you have to do it for three years. Otherwise, if the secret is exposed, it will ruin things for the adults." Your whole family needs to disappear!”
As the saying goes, if you want to destroy a family, the prefect will destroy it, and the county magistrate will destroy the family. If you want to destroy a rural family, you don't need the help of the county officials. Their subordinates will just pick up a case and then report it to the official to sue the family. , this family can be convicted and exterminated!
"I got it." Wu Laosi was a little unhappy after being scolded all the time. He glanced at Wu Lichang and said, "Uncle Wu should be worried about himself. You are so old, don't play too much. Go too far, or your reputation will be lost."
After that, he handed over and left.
Wu Lichang was so angry that he had a murderous look in his eyes, but he could not touch Wu Laosi. He could only hold back his anger and quickly said: "Buy some gifts and send them to the Huang family. Remember, you belong to the Huang family. Brother-in-law, you have to be more attentive!”
Wu Laosi didn't respond, he just waved his hand to show that he understood.
Seeing that Wu Li was unhappy, Er Shuan hurriedly brought Huang Xianiang, glared at Huang Xianiang, and warned her to go and appease Wu Li.
Huang Xianniang was worried about her sister and wanted to ask about the Wu family. She helped Wu Lichang into the house and used the methods she had learned recently to serve him well. Taking advantage of his happiness, she asked Said: "Master, how is the character of Wu Laosi of the Wu family? Is he reliable? I have a sister named Cainiang. Sister, I don’t want her to suffer.”
“Don’t want her to suffer?” Wu Lizhang smiled and looked at Huang Xianniang and said, “Don’t worry, she will live a more comfortable life after entering the Wu family. ”
Huang Xianniang didn’t quite understand and wanted to ask again, but Wu Lizhang stopped answering.
She could only try her best to please Wu Lichang, hoping to use the influence of Wu Lichang's family to support her sister so that her sister could live a better life in the Wu family.
......
After Wu Laosi left Wujiacun, he waited on the roadside for half an hour. Finally, a mule cart from a Zhoujiacun driver came and paid for the ride to the ghost village. Knock on the door of the yellow house in the village.
"Uncle, it's my uncle who's here!" Huang Wu came to life and hurriedly called Huang Guilu: "Brother Lu, hurry up and pack up and go see my uncle."
He hurriedly stopped Huang Laoer's family, glared at them and said, "This is my uncle, don't try to argue with him."
After hearing this, Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law turned back to the house, but the door was not opened.
Huang Wu was then happy and urged Huang Guilu to open the door. After dressing up Huang Cainiang, she took Huang Cainiang to see Wu Laosi: "Sister, Cainiang is here... Cainiang hurry up and give it to your uncle. Salute.”
Wu Laosi is not interested in Huang Cainiang. He only glanced at me and said: "Family, no need to be polite... take me to see Village Chief Qin first. Now that we have entered the village, if we don't go to see the Village Chief, we will be said to be rude."
He also specially ordered Huang Laoer: "Second uncle, please accompany me."
What?
Mrs. Huang Wu was a little confused. Why did my uncle get so close to the second son's family?
She hurriedly pulled Huang Guilu over and said, "Uncle, this is Brother Lu, your brother-in-law, let him take you to the Qin family."
Wu Laosi disliked Huang Guilu very much. He was as thin as a fire stick and said, "He has committed a crime. How can he go to the village chief's house?" ? It’s better for Second Uncle to accompany me.”
After that, without waiting for Huang Wu to say anything, he went to invite Huang Lao Er: “Second Uncle, please take this junior to see Village Chief Qin.”< br>
Seeing that Huang Lao Er was too slow to agree, he directly took action, took Huang Lao Er's arm and left.
Huang Lao Er was a little uncomfortable, but thought it was better to make friends than to make enemies, so he led the way for Wu Lao Si.
But when he arrived at the west entrance of the village, he said: "Fourth Master Wu, you wait here first, I will go to the village chief Qin's house to say something. After all, it is a sudden visit, so it is not good not to say something."< br>
Wu Laosi was unhappy, but his superiors said that now Don't cause trouble. You have to make friends with the Qin family. He can only agree: "Okay, uncle, go ahead. I'll wait here."
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Laoer came back: "Wu Si Master, come with me.”
Did the Qin family agree to his visit?
Wu Laosi was very happy and followed Huang Laoer to his old house in the west of the village. But as soon as he arrived at the house, he was stricken by the smell of body odor.
I finally ignored the stench, put on a smile, handed over my purse, and said to Grandpa Qin: "Village Chief Qin, I am Huang Cainiang's fiancée. I came to the village for the first time today, and I came here to visit... …This is a meeting gift, please accept it.”
Grandpa Qin smiled. He said: "Fourth Master Wu is too polite, please sit down."
He asked Xiao Gu to bring a plate of arrowroot powder cake: "It's hot, it's best to eat this cool arrowroot powder cake."
But Before Wu Laosi could eat, he felt itchy all over his body. He endured it again and again, but when he couldn't bear it anymore, he started scratching himself. Huang Laoer hurriedly asked: "Fourth Master Wu, what's wrong with you? But it's hot and you have prickly heat? Or are you infected with itchy insects?"
“I don’t know, I just felt itchy all of a sudden...” Wu Laosi scratched his calves and arms until there were bleeding marks. After a while, he finally said: “It’s so itchy. Second uncle, take me back quickly.” Take a shower, quickly!”
“Village Chief Qin, I’ll take him back first.” Huang Laoer saw that he was itching so much that he could only help him away.
The strange thing is that not long after leaving the west side of the village, Wu Laosi no longer felt itchy.
"Second Uncle, I'm not itchy anymore." Wu Laosi thought of the evil things in the ghost village, and then looked back at the path leading to the west of the village, as if a deep ghost mouth was about to swallow him, He was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Second uncle, go quickly, go quickly!"
This village in the west is too evil. If he doesn't leave, he is afraid that he will be dragged into being a scapegoat.
However, he would suddenly itch and suddenly get better, all because of Qin Xiaomi's itch medicine.
From that day on, Wu Laosi did not dare to go to the west of the village again.
However, he would still wander around the village and look at the land. After marrying Huang Cainiang in June, he would give money to the Huang family and buy a lot of land in the ghost village at a low price in the name of his uncle's filial piety to the in-law family.
……
Soon it was early June, and Qin Xiaomi and the others took stock again and calculated the net profit.
Qin Cunquan: "The weather is getting hotter. This arrowroot powder cake has the effect of relieving the heat and is selling well... Throughout May, we made a net profit of thirty-seven to eight hundred yuan, except for five Except for the uncle's family, each of the other eight families can get two hundred cents."
After hearing this, the big guys were very happy: "Although it can't be the same as the first one. In ten days, you can earn two taels of silver a month. This kind of income is just like the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves!” , can't even buy a piece of red cloth. "
The ancestors are still not good at it. If they want to smoke, they have to smoke big. If they smoke two or two, they still have to live a tight life.
He also laughed at Qin Xiaomi: "Girl Xiaomi, didn't you say that you want to dye red cloth with wild grass and make a wedding dress for pears? Why don't you do it? The wild grass has almost grown in front of your house, don't you think they are not lush enough?" br>
Qin Xiaomi really wanted to poison her to silence her , and said: "No need for Liu Po to remind me, I plan to go up the mountain to find weeds tomorrow, but if I really make red cloth, Liu Po will not come to share a piece of the pie."
Qin Liu Po pretends She didn't understand, so she pulled Grandma Qin and talked about buying meat.
Qin Xiaomi rolled his eyes at her back and stood up to hide her private money.
……
The next day, just after dawn, Jiang Dalang came to her carrying the things he had brought into the mountains: "Xiaomi, I'll accompany you into the mountains... It's hot, and all the snakes in the mountains are out. I'll go with you, and I can help you kill snakes."
I couldn't refuse this reason at all, so Qin Xiaomi agreed: "Yes."
Grandma Qin said: "You are not allowed to run into the mountains. The weeds you find in Qianshan will become... Dalang, keep an eye on her."
Jiang Dalang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma Qin, I will protect Xiaomi and not let her take risks."
< br>Qin Xiaomi was helpless: "Grandma, the weeds I'm looking for are on the side of the mountain road. You don't have to go into the mountains, so don't worry."
She didn't lie. Half an hour later, she stood on the side of the back mountain trail, pointing to the lush weeds along the way and said: "Xiaogu, Erlang, Mao Ge'er, Sheng Ge'er, these are the kind of weeds. When they are uprooted, their roots "Can dye red"
Qin Xiaogu recognized this weed. , said: "Sister Xiaomi, is this Lala rice seedling? Can it be dyed red?"
Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes, because it is not only called Lala rice seedling, but also madder and blood grass. ”
