Chapter 80: Teach the bad boy a lesson. Why are you pecking my neck? ...
"How can this be possible?" Zong Anji disagreed.
In the courtyard, the clan mother glanced at Yueyang's room and whispered to him, "Your second brother and sister-in-law asked me to tell you this. Think about it carefully. Now that Yueyang is pregnant, is it still appropriate for her to live here?"
Zong Anji was speechless.
This place was indeed inconvenient. Not to mention the noise from the restaurant in front every day, she couldn't rest well while pregnant. Moreover, there was a man named Sanshui living here.
"If your second brother and his wife really cared about the division of the family property, they wouldn't have invited you over again and again." After going through all the things, the clan mother now saw everything clearly.
Qiu Xuan and the others really didn't take what happened in the past to heart, or perhaps those things were no longer important to them and had become a thing of the past.
"I..." Zong Anji lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the ground beneath his feet.
I got some water out while washing vegetables today, and the soil turned into mud when it came into contact with water.
What if Yueyang accidentally steps on it and falls?
Zong Anji knew in his heart that moving there would be the best option, as the yard and environment there were nice, and it was close to town.
There is no better place than that.
"Go back to the room and discuss it with Yueyang later. If mother thinks this is okay, and if you really feel bad about it, you can give some money to your second brother and his family so that they won't stay there for free," the grandmother advised.
"I understand, Mom. I'll think about it."
"What's the point of thinking here? Go back to the house."
Zong Anji was obedient. He washed his face with cold water to sober up a little and then went back to the house immediately.
In the house, Yueyang was embroidering small clothes for the children.
She can't sit still. After hearing that she was pregnant, she has been thinking about making some small clothes for the child.
Just in the evening, the Liu family sent a piece of fine cloth, and Yueyang immediately cut a piece.
"What did mother say to you?" Yueyang patted the seat next to him and motioned him to sit over.
Zong Anji smiled, took her hand and squeezed it gently.
"I can't hide anything from you. Mother said that my second sister-in-law asked us to move to that courtyard, saying that it lacks people there, and we can add to the atmosphere if we move in."
Afraid that Yueyang would be unhappy, Zong Anji said again.
"I'll listen to you. If you don't want to go, then we won't go. At worst, I can go to the agent tomorrow to see if there are any better yards nearby."
If there really was a good yard nearby at a suitable price, Qiu Xuan and the others would not have rented one near the village.
Both the husband and wife understood this simple truth.
"Today, my second sister-in-law accompanied me to the clinic. There were so many people there that she paid more to let me see the doctor early."
Yueyang felt the same as Mingjing.
"My second sister-in-law is kind-hearted, but we can't always take advantage of her." Yueyang raised his hand and pointed to the purse under the pillow.
"We've saved a few taels of silver over the past two months. Tomorrow, go and tell your second brother you're willing to pay half."
Zong Anji was stunned, with some uncertainty in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zong Anji hugged her in his arms and said happily, "No, I'm just happy."
Gao Xing Yueyang was relieved and happy that she was willing to live there. Living there meant that she would no longer think about splitting up the family and would not be trapped by the word "split up the family".
The next morning.
Before Qiu Xuan and the others arrived at the shop, Zong Anji had already opened the door and laid out the items needed to sell pancakes.
Qiu Xuan saw his figure from a distance.
She smiled and made a bet with Zong Xiao, "I guess Third Brother and they have figured it out, believe it or not."
Zong Xiao drove the mule cart forward and nodded when he heard this.
His third brother is a person who can't hide things. If he encounters happy things, he will be happy for three to five days.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother!" Zong Anji saw their mule cart and ran over immediately.
He took the reins and looked at them somewhat embarrassedly.
Zong Xiao: "You should move in over the next two days and pack up your things. Also, take mother and Huaixue's things with you."
Zong Anji nodded, and before leaving, he stuffed something into Zong Xiao's hand.
He moved quickly, and before Zong Xiao could react, Zong Anji ran away.
"What?" Qiu Xuan looked over.
"Silver." Zong Xiao spread out his hands, and saw a small silver ingot that looked like a gold ingot lying in his palm.
This silver ingot is worth five taels. Zong Anji really spent a fortune.
Qiu Xuan said, "Take it. My second brother and his family would feel embarrassed to stay there for free."
Zong Xiao stuffed the silver ingot into her hand again and said with a smile, "Take the money from home."
The people who were following them saw their little movements clearly.
The man tutted his words, feeling a little jealous watching the scene.
How come the couple has such a good relationship, but they still push money back and forth?
If it were his wife, she wouldn't let him keep even a copper coin, let alone silver.
"Old Three, go buy some pancakes. I'll take care of this."
"Okay, give me the money."
"Here, remember to bring one for me."
"Yours is indispensable."
A pancake can be made quickly by just spreading it out and flipping it over.
It doesn't take much effort to knead, stretch and fry the fried dough sticks.
Qiu Xuan and Zong Xiao each did their own thing. After Zong Xiao finished frying the dough sticks, he would take them out and put them on the bamboo tray.
This food was made in front of people's eyes, and many people came to buy it. After all, a long fried dough stick only cost two cents, which is not much different from a vegetarian bun.
"Boss, give me three pancakes with eggs and fried dough sticks." The man who had just been hiding on the second floor opposite and watching them was now standing in front of the pan, rubbing his hands.
The steaming food smelled so good that his mouth was watering.
"Okay, wait for me." Qiu Xuan wrapped the pancakes with oil paper and handed them to him one by one.
The pancake was still a little hot when it came out of the pan, but the man seemed to have no sense of pain. He grabbed the pancake with both hands and walked across.
Qiu Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At this moment, she just felt that this person was a little strange and didn't think about anything else.
For the next five days, the man would appear in front of the stall as soon as the fried dough sticks came out of the pan, but the number of pancakes increased from three to five.
Qiu Xuan once deliberately arrived a moment late, and that person would be just as punctual.
It's strange, really strange.
"This guy has been coming to our stall for several days, and I always feel something is wrong." Qiu Xuan didn't dare to say anything and could only talk to Zong Xiao.
"Do you think this person has been watching us? Otherwise, how could he come at such a perfect time every time?"
Zong Xiao also noticed this person, mainly because he was very rich and always bought a lot of what he wanted.
But if they were really a wealthy family, how could they come to buy it in person? And if he was just a servant, how could he eat it with one hand?
"I'll meet him tomorrow." Zong Xiao had a guess in his mind, but he had no evidence yet.
Qiu Yu: "How could that be?"
Their stall was on the street, and everyone around could hear what they were saying to that person.
"Tomorrow, my mother and the others will go back up the mountain to pack up some more things. You can go back with them then. I'll go to the restaurant by myself."
"No." Qiu Yu held his shoulder and pointed at the place where he was injured. "Have you forgotten your injury?"
Zong Xiao grabbed her wrist and held her tightly in his arms.
The injury is an injury, the matter is a matter, and this matter is very important at the moment, so he dare not neglect it.
If he can't protect Qiu Xuan, can't protect his wife, then what's the point of him existing as a husband.
"It's just a few words, nothing else." Zong Xiao pecked her delicate neck lightly, "Don't worry, I will be back safely tomorrow."
Qiu Xuan was angry and annoyed, "You...why do you like to play with my neck so much?"
"nice."
Qiu Yan:? ? ?
-
It’s the beginning of May, the beginning of summer.
Qiu Xuan and her friends chose a fine day to return to the mountain.
Since they were transporting something, they didn't let Yueyang follow.
Huaixue couldn't help much, so they left her in the yard at the foot of the mountain.
"Second sister-in-law, why didn't my second brother come today? What was he busy with?" Zong Anji was curious, but he didn't dare to ask Zong Xiao directly at that time.
After all, Zong Xiao is his elder brother, and he has authority.
"He went to ask who in town had sheep for sale. I thought that since we have a lot of space at home now, we might as well raise a couple of sheep so that they can come in handy when the time comes." Summer is coming soon, and Qiu Xuan is ready to open a small barbecue stall.
The reason she had given that day was also true. She had just told Zong Xiao about it last night.
Zong Anji didn't think about that. He chuckled and thanked her, "Second sister-in-law is really thoughtful. I didn't even think of that. Prepare it now so that the child will have goat milk to drink when the time comes."
Qiu Xuan didn't understand why he thanked her at first.
After listening to it, I finally understood it.
She smiled awkwardly and responded, "Yes, yes, it's better to prepare it earlier."
The mule cart finally arrived at the door of the house.
They had clearly just returned a few days ago, but the front of their house was a mess, with a lot of mud on the gate.
It didn't rain that day, so how could there be mud?
"It's a good door, who is so mean as to throw mud on it?" the clan mother said angrily.
"Maybe it's a child from the village." Qiu Xuan looked around and didn't see any suspicious figures.
Come to think of it, they came back early today, who would come here at this hour?
Qiu Xuan came to Zong Anji and asked him to lead the mule into the yard.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm strong, I can move the things out."
"...Yes, yes, but today I'm not testing your strength. I want to see if anyone will come and do something bad later." Qiu Xuan stared at the wooden door again and again.
The mud was concentrated in the lower middle part of the wooden door, which indicated that the person who threw the mud was probably a short person.
Or rather, it’s a child, whose child is it?
When they lived here before, there had never been any incidents of mud throwing.
Now that they are gone, someone comes to cause trouble.
Qiu Xuan wanted to see who did it.
"Okay, I'll lead the mule in."
Qiu Xuan did not follow him into the yard. She locked the gate from outside to pretend that no one had returned.
After finishing all this, she quickly hid beside the haystack opposite. The haystack was so big that it could completely cover her figure.
Qiu Xuan wanted to give it a try, just in case she could catch it.
She didn't hold out much hope and thought she would just wait for an incense stick of time. If no one came within that time, she would go over and unlock the door and clean the gate herself.
Unexpectedly, someone came over after only half an incense stick of time.
Three fat boys were carrying small wooden buckets filled with water.
The leader was none other than the grandson of the second branch of the Zong family, Da Zhuang!
"Come on, let's continue today and see who can throw higher and cover the door with mud." Dazhuang dug a hole in the ground with a small shovel and poured the water he brought into the hole.
He stirred with his chubby hands, mixing the soil and water together and shaping them into balls.
"Come."
Qiu Yun was not in a hurry to come out, she had to catch the culprit in the act.
Only when the three of them threw the mud ball at the door did she come out from behind the haystack.
The three children were having so much fun that no one noticed someone coming up behind them.
Qiu Xuan looked at the fat boy Da Zhuang and felt a sudden anger in her heart.
How can such a small person have such a bad heart?
He didn't change even after being beaten. It turns out that the second branch's family is all of the same character.
In the past, Qiu Xuan would have definitely reasoned with them, but now she was neither in the mood nor had the time.
She raised her leg and kicked Dazhuang in the butt, kicking him directly into the mud pit in front.
"Ah!" A scream was Da Zhuang's roar.
"Oh, it's Dazhuang." Qiu Yu clapped her hands, pretending not to recognize him, and said with a smile: "I thought it was some wild kid from the village who came to my house on purpose to cause trouble."
"You...you, I'm going to tell my dad! You hit me." Dazhuang climbed out of the mud pit. The new clothes he had just put on today were now covered with mud and water.
"Go find your father? You can't go now. You have to clean up the bad things you did first."
Qiu Xuan stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and dragged him directly to the gate. "Go, clean up the mud. You two come over here and do it together."
The two children nearby had never seen such a scene before. They were stunned for a long time before they came over reluctantly.
Zong Dazhuang didn't want to work, he turned around and tried to run, but was pulled back by Qiu Yun.
Qiu Yu didn't care whose child he was. She picked up the wooden stick next to her and pointed it at him, saying, "Quick, clean it up. If you don't clean it up, don't even think about going home."
The three children cried as they scraped the dirt off the door with small wooden shovels.
Finally, he wiped the door several times with water from the bucket until there was no mud left on it.
Qiu Xuan was satisfied and let the person go.
"You, you just wait for me!" The other two children were afraid of her, but Zong Dazhuang was not.
He made these harsh words and ran back home.
Qiu Xuan did not move. She stood there holding a wooden stick and waited. She wanted to see what Zong Laoer's family planned to do.
Soon, before half a cup of tea had passed, someone from the second branch of the Zong family arrived.
The second wife of the clan leader wanted to seek justice, after all, her own grandson was beaten!
Look, he's covered in mud.
But when she led Dazhuang to the door and saw Qiu Xuan, who was holding a wooden stick and looked like she could beat three people at once, she became scared and dared not speak.
"Grandma, it's her, this bad woman." Dazhuang pointed at Qiu Yun and continued to scold her.
"Am I a bad guy?" Qiu Yu shook the stick in her hand and approached them step by step. "If I am a bad guy, then what is that person throwing mud balls at my door?"
