The Meng family returned to the village in a bad mood, thinking about the affairs of the palace.
When passing the fields, Mr. Meng stopped.
"Dad, you're not going to look at the ground now, are you?"
Meng Shuyan woke up. Her sister and the rest of the family stopped beside the ground and looked into the ground. The black air was still as dark as before.
[No, there is still an ominous aura in that place, so we can’t go down there.
If you get involved, you'll be as unlucky as the Yang family.]
Mr. Meng. Naturally, he didn't dare to go down to see his granddaughter after hearing her thoughts. He wanted to take a look to relieve his bad mood.
"Forget it, let's go home and clean up the house first."
Seeing that he did not insist on going down to check the land, the family breathed a sigh of relief and hurried home.
Village chief Yang's wife had been sitting at the gate of the yard, sewing and waiting for her grandson to come back.
While doing needlework, my hands were pierced with several bloody holes.
I don’t know what’s going on today, I’ve been feeling uneasy.
Now he saw that only the Meng family had returned, and his grandson and brother-in-law were nowhere to be seen. He stood up suddenly and stopped the Meng family from leaving.
"Why are you the only ones back? Where is my grandson?
Why didn't you bring my grandson back?"
She looked as if the Meng family should have put his grandson on the carriage and brought him back as well.
Everyone in the Meng family rolled their eyes.
"You also said it was your grandson. How would we know where your grandson is?"
Usually when women are looking for trouble, Chen is the one who speaks directly.
Chen looked at the village head's wife with disgust.
"Hurry up and scatter, otherwise if you bump into something, it won't be our fault, it's you who bumped into it yourself."
The village chief's daughter-in-law quickly pulled her aside.
She was really afraid that her mother-in-law would get hurt, and then not only would she have to do all the housework, but she would also have to serve her mother-in-law, which was so annoying.
The village chief's wife, who was pulled aside by her daughter-in-law, still looked at the Meng family angrily and spoke harshly.
“Some people really have no conscience at all!
There were horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts, and they didn't even mention bringing back a little child from the same village.
How could I bear to watch such a young child walking back and forth from the village to the provincial capital and back to the village?
It’s because of your family that I went to the provincial capital!
As expected, outsiders are outsiders, and they cause trouble as soon as they come!
Bad luck! "
Chen couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Stop the car, bro!"
Meng Shijie didn't stop.
"Mom, you don't have to get off. Just scold her in the car. I'll go back."
Chen thought about it and realized that since she was higher up in the carriage than the shrew, she would definitely be scolding her more vigorously, so she didn't want to get off.
Because there are few people in the village and the road is quite wide, it is easy for the carriage to turn around.
The village chief's wife cursed and was a little scared when she saw them coming back.
"Go on, keep talking, why don't you say anything?
How dare you say that?
Only the unlucky one knows.
We traveled over a thousand miles and were fine, but the child was kidnapped as soon as we arrived in your village.
It should be said that your bad luck has been passed on to us.
And why did the official from the government office ask your grandson to go? Don’t you know?
That's because you are not human beings. You are not upright and the rest are crooked. You taught the child very badly and made him do immoral things. You loosened the rope of the ox cart that tied us at the door, so my granddaughter was stolen.
Otherwise, why didn't the governor ask people from other villages to go?"
When the village chief's wife heard what Chen said, she panicked. How did they know?
Could it be that my grandson let something slip?
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You can fart however you want, no one can stop you.
Everything will be decided for us by the officials in the government office.
Also, you yourselves are not capable of letting your children ride in ox carts and horse carriages, but instead of reflecting on your own uselessness, you blame the people who have ox carts and horse carriages?
How funny!
Why don't you blame those who have money for not giving you money?
Nothing!
What a rotten thing!
Chen remembered what her granddaughter said about this family being plagued by bad luck and that whoever got involved with them would suffer misfortune.
"Anyway, we both dislike each other, so your grandchildren should never come to our house again.
Otherwise, if he gets carried away and tries to untie our cow and horse ropes, and gets stepped on or kicked by the cows or horses, you'll be in trouble!"
Chen said she was happy and didn't want to hear the village head's wife talk back to her, so she asked her son to turn the horse around and go back into the village.
The village head's wife reacted and was about to curse, but the Meng family had already walked away. She was so angry that she felt a lump in her chest and was about to explode.
The Meng family didn't think of telling the village chief about the land given to them by the prefect.
Now they all don't want to see the two Yang families, they are so evil.
Anyway, we don’t farm in the winter now. We won’t be able to work in the fields until at least February or March when spring comes. We’ll talk about it then.
But when I got home, I briefly told the other three families about this matter.
“Let’s not worry about the land for now.
Let’s build the house first so we have a place to live before we can start farming.”
Doctor Zhou suggested, and the other two families nodded in agreement.
Besides, if you go to see the land now, you can't plant anything there, and you can't do anything else. Anyway, the land is there and it won't grow legs and run away.
What's more, the prefect also gave them the land deeds, which made them feel more at ease.
The four families together had ten capable men, big and small, so they decided to build their own house.
They have to start from scratch for everything they do here, and there are still many things to buy for the house, so they can save as much as they can.
The frames of the houses they chose were still there. They just needed to fix the roof and patch up the damaged parts. It was relatively simple and there was no need to waste money.
It's winter now and there's nothing else to do, all they have is time.
For the time being, the four families will still eat together, and they will live on their own after the houses are built.
In particular, Xiu'er and her daughter, who had few family members, said they would help with cooking and washing clothes, and asked everyone not to refuse.
Because when the time comes, they will have to rely on the men from the other three families to help build their house.
Everyone is happy to let them work, as this is a form of labor exchange.
It also wouldn't make the mother and daughter feel like they owed them anything, so they didn't say anything against it.
Meng Shijie ordered the tiles for the roof and they will be delivered in the afternoon.
The women continued to cook and take care of the children at home, while the men went up the mountain to dig soil and make bricks to repair the walls.
Leng Yingshuang stopped working and took care of the children.
No one asked her to work, and she was just asked to take care of the children.
Meng Shuyan went back into the space and continued planting and picking vegetables.
When I was tired, I took a break and saw the jade pendant beside me.
As she looked at the jade pendant, she suddenly remembered what had flashed through her mind when her mother and the princess were talking in the morning.
Is it possible that my mother is the daughter of the princess and the prince, so I look so much like the princess?
The more I think about it, the more likely it is!
But how to verify it?
