Chapter 8: The whole yard is filled with lemon fragrance
Qian Yuemei was frightened.
"What's wrong?"
"Second sister... huff... my brother-in-law caught a lot of big fish..."
Qian Sicao breathlessly recounted the Su family's feat of catching fish today.
Finally, he directly asked for the reward for reporting the news.
Second sister, I want to eat fish. Go to Su's house and bring back some big fish."
Qian Yuemei opened her mouth so wide that she even forgot to crack the melon seeds.
"Are you serious? Did your brother-in-law really catch a lot of fish?"
Qian Yuemei's face was full of disbelief, and her voice rose several degrees.
"Really, really!" Qian Sicao nodded vigorously, "A lot of people saw it!"
After saying that, she added, "I originally wanted the big fish that Erpan was holding, but Erpan insisted on giving it to his aunt. I was so angry. Second sister, you have to take care of Erpan..."
Qian Sicao was still feeling indignant, and Qian Yuemei suddenly stood up.
Then he covered his stomach and cried out, "Ouch."
Wang was startled and said quickly, "Slow down! Be careful!"
Qian Yuemei touched her belly, still looking shocked.
Then, he stared at Wang with wide eyes.
"Mom, could it be possible that her aunt... could really make a fortune?"
Qian Yuemei's voice trembled a little.
Without waiting for Wang's answer, Qian Sicao reported the villagers' discussions.
"Second sister, everyone in the village is saying that those fish were brought by your sister-in-law..."
Wang suddenly became excited!
"Isn't it obvious?" Wang said loudly, "In recent years, the fish in the river have been almost completely scooped out. How could there be such a big fish? It just so happened that as soon as your sister-in-law was born, such big fish appeared in the river, and your family just happened to catch them all..."
Qian Yuemei couldn't stand still before her mother finished speaking.
"Mom, I'm going home to take a look."
After saying that, he walked out with the wind on his feet.
"Hey! Wait a minute, take these two taels of brown sugar back to your mother-in-law!" Wang shouted from behind.
"When I give birth to a daughter, save some for me to drink. Mom, please don't be so ungrateful..."
Qian Yuemei rushed out without looking back.
Wang choked.
What a miserable girl!
Why can't she understand my mother's feelings?
Isn't she doing this just to make herself feel more confident in her husband's family?
**
At this time, the old Su family's yard had three layers inside and three layers outside.
Some people even stood on the wall.
When Qian Yuemei got home, she couldn't squeeze in at all.
"Sister-in-law, what happened in our family?"
Su Dahu's voice came from behind Qian Yuemei.
Qian Yuemei turned around.
“Gugugugu…”
“Chuckle…”
She didn't see Su Dahu's head, but she saw two huge pheasants waving at her.
Qian Yuemei was completely confused.
She hadn't seen a pheasant in several years and almost forgot what it looked like.
"Brother, where did you catch this pheasant?"
Qian Yuemei looked shocked and her voice was piercing.
The two pheasants fluttered around in fright.
Qian Yuemei shouted, and the people in front turned around.
Then, everyone saw the pheasant hanging around Su Dahu's neck.
Two big, plump pheasants with shiny feathers were tied at one end and hung around Su Dahu's neck with a newly woven straw rope.
Su Dahu's look immediately shocked people.
Especially those two huge pheasants, they are really eye-catching.
No, it's just drooling.
When I see a pheasant, I instinctively think of the delicious pheasant meat.
"Da Hu, are you going up the mountain?" someone asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
That beast on the mountain has killed several people in recent years.
If you dare to go up the mountain now, wouldn’t that be seeking death?
"No, I just walked around the foot of the mountain." Su Dahu said.
"How can there be such a fat and big pheasant at the foot of the mountain?" He said in a tone of obvious disbelief.
"A few days ago, I wandered around the foot of the mountain for two days and didn't even pick up a pheasant feather." Someone made a soul-searching complaint.
"It's a wonder you can wander around. These kids in the village are so hungry for meat that they spend all day either wandering around the river or around the foot of the mountain, like they're on a big raid."
"you do not say……"
Everyone was talking at once, obviously not believing what Su Dahu said.
"Okay, stop being so skeptical. If so many fish can suddenly appear in the river, why can't pheasants suddenly appear at the foot of the mountain? The Su family has a daughter! They're going to be rich!"
As soon as these words fell, all the questioning voices disappeared.
**
Su Dahu and Qian Yuemei finally entered their yard and immediately saw two large wooden barrels in the yard.
The wooden barrel is full of white fish.
Qian Yuemei's heart was pounding wildly.
My uncle has a pheasant hanging around his neck, and there are so many fish in the yard...
Could it be that... the Su family is really going to get rich?
"Er Pan'er, did you really catch these fish?"
Qian Yuemei rushed over, her face full of excitement and asked her son with joy.
"Mom, it's not fished out, these fish are jumping onto me one after another."
Erpan's childish voice spoke words that made Qian Yuemei's heart beat wildly.
When Su Dahu saw the fish in the wooden barrel, his face was filled with shock and excitement.
Fortunately, he was originally honest and simple, with a calm temperament, and was able to keep his composure.
"Wife, quickly get a basin and put these pheasant eggs in it."
Su Dahu appeared calm and gave instructions to his wife Zhao Chunhua.
It turned out that the reason he hung the pheasant around his neck was because he had a bag of pheasant eggs in his arms.
After Su Dahu finished speaking, he loosened his hands, revealing the pheasant eggs inside.
Zhao Chunhua, also known as Mrs. Su, her eyes lit up.
There must be more than twenty white pheasant eggs!
"Dad, you're awesome!"
Su's wife Zhao Chunhua praised her man generously.
Now my mother-in-law has eggs to eat during her confinement period.
Maybe the milk will come in soon and my sister-in-law won’t have to starve anymore.
Su Dahu couldn't help but chuckle when he was praised by his wife.
The onlookers outside knew that Su Dahu caught two pheasants with his bare hands, but the people inside didn't know it yet.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Su Dahu.
The first thing I saw was not Su Dahu, but the pheasant on Su Dahu's neck.
“Gugugugu…”
“Chuckle…”
Accompanied by the clucking sounds of pheasants, the one who was worshipped by people became the eldest son of the Su family.
"Dad, where did you catch this?" Da Paner looked at his father in admiration.
How much meat does such a big pheasant have?
There are also pheasant eggs, how delicious!
Da Pan couldn't help but slurp his saliva.
Compared to eating fish, he prefers to eat delicious pheasant.
"What are you catching? Dad was just walking around at the foot of the mountain, and the pheasant flapped its wings and flew straight into my arms."
Although Su Dahu was calm, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by his son's admiring gaze and the envious eyes of many people around him, and his tone became a little floating.
After hearing what Su Dahu said, the people in the yard felt very complicated.
Envy, jealousy, greed...
In short, the whole yard is filled with the scent of lemon.
