Chapter 24 An old woman
The next day, just after dawn, Liang Mu got up and went out. He wanted to inquire about the lost ladies of the rich families in the town, but what should he ask? It's really difficult. Liang Mu hesitated again and again, so he went to the steamed bun shop to sell a lot of meat buns and distributed them to those places where beggars gathered.
It's the first time that the beggars have seen someone delivering breakfast in person. They have been snatching and inquired about it, but they have not collected any valuable clues. It seems that they can only wait for these beggars to help them find it. After all, they are many people and powerful, and a lot of information about the path is learned from them. They have been admonished him. Pay more attention. If there is any news, we will go to Liangjia Village to inform him and thank him.
Seeing that the beggars were full of answers, Liangmu's heart was also relaxed a lot. Thinking that he could get along with Ruoyu for a long time, the feelings in his heart were mixed, as if he had knocked over the altar of five flavors, and the pain in his heart could only be tasted by himself.
Liang Mu turned around and returned to the inn. Ruo Ying was already dressed and went downstairs to ask for breakfast. She was looking out at Liang Mu's figure. Seeing Liang Mu coming back, Ruoyu smiled as if she had eaten honey and trotted all the way to the door to pick him up.
Seeing her smile, he was indescribably satisfied. Liang Mu walked a few steps quickly, took Ruoyu's cold little hand, and frowned, "Why is it so cold? Why don't you bring warm hands? Why don't we go upstairs to eat."
"No, just overheated porridge." Lan Ruoqi smiled and said to Xiao Er, "Let's take the dishes!"
"Good!" The shopkeeper shouted and brought two bowls of clear porridge and side dishes.
After a warm meal, Liang Mu took Ruo Ying around the market. Ruo Ying bought some necessities of life. These days, it was really difficult without a toothbrush, so Ruo Ying made up her mind and spent a lot of money to buy fragrant tooth powder and dental tools, which made Ruo Ying painful.
But when I first entered the village, I remembered several old girls I met by chance, the big yellow teeth after their thick lips were cracked, and the majestic spitting stars. No matter how much money I spent, I could bear it. The plates and bowls are also old, and can't be used cleanly. It's too difficult to wash clothes, and there is no washing powder to sell. There is only alkaline face, and it's barely enough to buy.
Along the way, Ruo's silver is getting worse and worse, but Liang Mu's burden is getting heavier and heavier. It's almost noon. If you don't go back, you can't get to the village in the middle of the night. Liang Mu can't help urging him. If you think about it, it seems that there is nothing.
The two were about to turn their heads and walk back when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the store. Lan Ruoqi looked up and saw that the sound came from Yulan's store, and the cry was very similar to that of Sister Yulan.
Lan Ruoying couldn't help rushing into it. Liang Mu thought she wanted to sell materials, but it was noisy inside. It's better to go to another house and reach out to hold Ruoying. "There are so many clothing stores, you just pick up a noisy one."
"You have a bad memory." Lan Ruoyan pointed to the plaque of Wang's cloth, "Isn't this Yulan's house?" Liang Mu suddenly woke up and patted his head. "It's really true" and Lan Ruoyu entered the store one after another.
Wang Yulan was squatting on the ground and crying. Her tears were like broken beads, rolling down to the ground. A pair of frozen blue and purple hands were picking up the clothes on the ground. Ruo Jing hurried over to help, but there was a huge embroidered shoe in front of her.
"Huh! This smell really hits the nose." Ruoyu hurriedly covered her nose with her hand and stood up. Only then did she see that the owner of the big foot was a fat woman with a big red mopping robe, with her hands pinched her waist, and her face was full of anger, like a water tank. At first glance, she is not a good stubble. If you expect her to be the stepmother of Yulan's sister.
Seeing that she was so unreasonable, Liang Mu stood in front of Ruoyan, bent down and picked up the cloth on the ground and put it on the cloth shelf. Lan Ruoyan helped Wang Yulan up and sat on the chair.
When the mother-in-law Wang saw that someone dared to take care of her own business, she was very angry. Like a steamed bun's fat face, she squeezed out a sneer and turned her head and scolded Wang Yulan: "Hey! You are a dead hoof, and you can even hook up with people. This hook-up is still a pair.
This woman's name is bigger than the sky. She is so harmful. Wang Yulan was so angry that her hands and feet were cold. She sat on the chair but did not dare to contradict her. She clenched her fists with both hands, "I didn't." Her voice was very low and cowardly, but it was the first time she dared to refute.
When the woman saw that Yulan dared to refute, she stood up like a rooster and stretched out her hand to pinch people. Liang Mu stood coldly in front of her, her eyes were frightening, and she quickly avoided it. Thinking that someone was here, it was too difficult for her to get a cruel name. If she wanted to clean up this little hoof, she could do it at any time.
Wang's steamed bun face turned into roasted wheat with a smile. He looked at Wang Yulan through the seam and said with a dark smile, "Now someone will help you. Let's see how I can deal with you later and take care of your skin." After saying that, the woman went to the backyard.
Wang Yulan was afraid and cried with grievances. If she was distressed but didn't know how to comfort her, she blindly wiped her tears. "Sister, we won't cry. You cry has no momentum. Let her think you are a bear and bully you more."
"If the bear is fine, I will eat her in one bite." Wang Yulan's teeth squeaked with hatred. Lan Ruoyan and Liang Mu held back their smiles and did not dare to laugh. They held their stomachs and had a pain in their stomachs. This bear meant scolding cowardly, but she didn't know?
Lang Ruoyu persuaded her mother-in-law for a while. Wang Yulan finally burst into tears and laughed. She pulled Ruoyan to choose a navy blue material for Liang Mu and chose an orange material for herself. Wang Yulan laughed at her stupidity angrily. How could there be no boy wearing orange? Ruo Huan didn't want to explain it. After all, their relationship is not so good now. Heart to heart.
From the conversation, Ruoyu also learned how incongruly Wang Yulan was at home. Wang entered the door when Yulan was eight years old and was good to Yulan at first. But Wang's body has been nothing. Wang Yulan's father didn't like her, so she pressed her hatred on Yulan. As long as Wang's father was not at home, she would beat and scold her, which was very harsh on her. Yulan also told her father several times, and her father beat her a lot.
On the other hand, she bullied Yulan even more. Later, Yulan was afraid and endured it. She thought that one day she would get married. How could she think that the shameless woman arranged herself outside, saying that Yulan often fooling around with Qin Shuilian and asked who dared to marry such a daughter's family.
Yulan's marriage has been delayed. She has been selling materials and smiling faces at home all day long. After a long time, there are all kinds of rumors, and it is even more impossible to get married. Now Wang Yulan's only wish is to serve her father to die.
But this careless vicious woman didn't know who instigated it, thinking that Yulan would take charge of it at home sooner or later. At that time, she would follow Lao Wang all her life, and she couldn't get her hair out, so she thought of a way to get Yulan out.
I have successively introduced several men to Wang Yulan. They are either over 100 years old or the children of a small family. They are not tenants. If there is a good one, Wang Yulan will not be angry here.
Wang Yulan vowed to disagree. Fortunately, her father felt sorry for her. Wang couldn't make a move and thought about another plan to design Wang Yulan and Stone, who sold goods. The farce staged today was designed by the stupid woman. Fortunately, the seller's clever boy made Wang Shi run away early. For his own reputation, Wang Yu Lan didn't dare to say anything, but endured it.
It is the so-called public's mouth gold, which accumulates and destroys bones. This reputation is the bloodless knife on the woman's head. Lan Ruoying couldn't help crying with Wang Yulan. Wang Yulan wiped her tears and smiled, "If it hadn't been for the worry that I would have gone, my father would have let her harmed her. She would have gone with my mother. She really couldn't live."
Wang Yulan seemed to look down on everything, and her eyes were full of determination, which made Lan Ruohua more and more distressed. Looking at Yulan put the selected cloth into the bag, Ruoyan suddenly had a plan and quickly told Wang Yulan.
"Is this good?" Wang Yulan's face suddenly turned red, and her two fleshy earlobes seemed to be on fire. Ruoyu smiled and patted Wang Yulan on the shoulder, "We call it his way and return his body, but we need Mrs. Qin for help in this matter. I'm afraid it won't work without her."
When Wang Yulan heard the hope, she had no worries and reached out to wipe her tears. After sending Lan Ruoyan away, he got up and went to Qin Shuilian's house. Since Wang's rumors that Yulan and Qin Shuilian fooled around, Wang Yulan was so scared that she didn't dare to go to her house. This is the first time in three years that she came to ask for such a big thing. I really don't know if my aunt will agree?
Liang Mu saw the two of them muttering for a long time, and then Wang Yulan smiled like a flower. She became more and more curious and asked Ruoyuan the reason. How could Lan Ruohua tell him about this damage, but she didn't want to lie to him and found a wrong topic.
All the way, both of them returned to Liangjia Village at night. If you are sleepy, you can fall on the kang, and you don't care whether it's cold or not. It's really tiring to sleep. I don't know that she abused Liang Mu. It was the Yin family who pushed her back with a wheelbicle all the way.
She could sleep, but Liang Mu didn't dare. First, she heated the kang, warmed some hot water, and wiped her cold hands. She wiped her little face with the newly bought warm hand towel. After washing herself, she went to bed.
Lying on the kang, Liang Mu suddenly remembered something. He bought a lot of daily necessities when he went to the city, but forgot to buy a new bed and bedding. Liang Mu wanted to lie down in the West Village tomorrow and buy some cotton bullets for a new quilt. Two unknown men and women can sleep in a bed. Isn't it a big rebellion to sleep in a quilt?
It was not until three poles on the sun that Lan Ruoyu woke up in a daze. Today's sunshine is really enough! The small face was warm. Outside the door were the chirping of pheasants, the sound of rabbits pedaling on the grass, and the call of those unknown birds. The warbler choked to death.
If you look out of the window, it turns out that Liang Mu is feeding pheasants and rabbits and adding water. No wonder it's so lively. Lazily put on clothes and hold the precious tooth powder and toothbrush. There is no tooth jar, so you can only find a bowl to brush your teeth. The toothbrush is very hard made of bristle and dare not brush hard, otherwise it will bleed.
Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, wash your face with warm water, and when the cold wind blows, your skin is tight and uncomfortable. Gently rub/rub your hands to feel better. This memory, why didn't you want to buy yourself a box of balm yesterday, which can at least moisturize your skin.
Ruo Ying happily grinned her pearl-white teeth and came to Liang Mu's side, "Look, my teeth are white?" Liang Mu looked at her funny appearance and nodded with a smile, "White."
"Is it fragrant?" Ruo took a breath.
Liang Mu was a little distracted. His face blushed, and the fire burned to his chest. He quickly staggered his face, "Fragrant, it's so fragrant."
"Well, this money is not in vain. By the way, have you brushed your teeth today?
"I'm a big man, I'll keep my teeth for you!" It doesn't matter what Liang Mu said, but Ruo Yan ate the fly, which was indescribably disgusting.
Stretching out his white and tender fingers and pointing Liang Mu's forehead, "You... you are so disgusting. There is a reason why you don't brush your teeth. Don't eat rice in the future. It tastes good."
Liang Mu nodded sullenly and put down his work. "Ok, I'm going to brush my teeth."
"Remember, I will brush my teeth every day in the future, once in the morning and once in the evening." Ruo Ying looked preaching and walked out in all directions. When she arrived at the door, she saw a head next to the gate. She wanted to look inside.
Ruo Yan suddenly turned around and trotted into the room. "Liang Mu, there is a mother-in-law outside Liang Mu looking inside." This girl is getting worse and worse. She doesn't even call her brother. Liang Mu shook her head and sighed.
With the direction of Ruoyan's finger, Liang Mu got up and looked out. It was his mother standing at the door. Liang Mu was stunned and rushed out to greet him. In that way, Dai was both intimate and polite. Dai stared at him, as if he was still angry about yesterday's incident and slowly paced into the house.
Lan Ruoyan tilted her head and looked out. Dai finally saw Ruoyu's appearance. First, she was stunned, and then nodded with satisfaction. She couldn't say that she liked this innocent and lovely girl in her heart. She waved her hand and greeted her out, pretending to be a kind smile: "This girl is so handsome!"
Ruoyan looked down at Liangmu and looked at her mother-in-law. Except for the plagiarism outside, their facial features were not the same at all. She speculated that they should be neighbors nearby.
"Hello." Lan Ruoyan took two steps out and was furried by her naked eyes.
Dai took Lan Ruoqi's small hand and put it in the warm palm. The folds on her face flattened with a smile. It could be seen that she really liked her, but Lan Ruoqi didn't like her at all, because she didn't brush her teeth and smelled... vomit to death...
Dai also unconsciously rubbed Ruo's little hand and walked into the house without seeing anything. He saw those pheasants and rabbits head-on, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth!
said, "Look, our Liangmu is really capable and has raised so many animals." Those old eyes, full of greed, couldn't wait to withdraw the chicken feathers and swallow them immediately. They were so scared that several pheasants barked, and the rabbits hid.
"Wood, let's kill a rabbit and a pheasant today. We haven't got together for a good meal for a long time." Dai said and turned his head to look at Ruoqi, "Come and eat at home together!"
choke your wrist, keep choke on your wrist... The hares and pheasants she seems to be eating are my home, right? Ruoyu just smiled like a flower, and put down her little face in a blink of an eye, "This aunt, this pheasant and rabbit are not for food."
Dai smiled: "Oh! This thing doesn't need to be eaten. It's not good to keep the baby. Anyway, my wood can be scratched.
One bite of my wood, I was full of panic, but he was really wood. He pestleed at the door without saying a word, and people bullied him, and he didn't even fart.
Ruo Ying was angry and took a hard look at him, "Cough, these beasts are really used to give birth to cubs."
Seeing that Ruoyan's face was so long, Liang Mu knew that she must be angry and took a step forward, "Mom, these livestock are kept by Ruoyan as chickens and rabbits, and they really can't be eaten."
What? Mother... Ruo Ying suddenly turned around and began to re-examine this 'mother and son' or that sentence. It doesn't look like there. Maybe Liang Mu looks like his father!
When Dai saw Liangmu, he also said that he could not eat it. His old face was a little unbearable, but he still smiled, "You are right. I will definitely support it. But today, your third brother is going to send his daughter-in-law back to his mother's house, and he can't even afford to buy meat at home. Why don't you come here to see if there is any meat for those?
Without saying a word, Liang Mu went into the utility room and took out the air-dried rabbit meat and handed it to Dai. "Mom, you can use this first. I'll go to the river to get two fish supplements. Do you think it's good."
Daishi's old face, smiling like spring flowers, boasted, "My sons are the last to feed on wood, and the others know how to eat me and drink mine." Reach out and hold Ruo's hand. If you follow my wood, you will not be wronged.
"Mom, what are you talking about! She is still a little girl. Liang Mu frowned, blushed, and turned his head to look at him.
"Oh, I still know how shy you are, you stupid!" Dai glanced at Ruo, "Whose daughter-in-law is not all maids in front of the door?" Before the girl said anything, you argued.
Ruoyu smiled like a cramp on her face. Seeing that she took so many things, she knew that the meat pain was painful. She went there to listen to what she said, and her eyes were stuck to the meat. This is their meat in the future. In this green and yellow season, I'm afraid they will eat tree roots!
"Mother..." Liang Mu sighed, and his mother finally stopped.
Seeing that his son's face was not good and he got so many things, Dai didn't grit with him. He pulled Ruoqi and pulled him out, "Let's go, follow your aunt to see your brothers and sisters, and talk about when it will be done."
"What are you going to do?" Lan Ruoyan then reflected, stepped back inside, pulled out her hand, and looked at her doubtfully.
Liang Mu came forward and stood beside Dai, "Mother, go back first! Let's talk about it slowly in advance."
Dai didn't follow. He spread his hands and finally said his purpose: "Then she won't go. Who will help me cook! As you know, your second sister-in-law just got a body and is very lazy. The third brother-in-law just entered the door, so she can't help her work alone, can she?
It's not enough for her to take it, and she still wants to work hard. It's really a good thing for her to take advantage of it. Ruo Jing's heart beats, turned her head into the room and said coldly, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go to eat. Liang Mu, you and your aunt will go back to get together." After saying that, he closed the door.
Sitting on the edge of the kang, my stomach is bulging with anger. I have never seen such a thick-skinned old woman. What I eat is your son's, not yours. As for calling me like this. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I hammered the kang twice and regretted it! The palm hurts.
