Chapter 121 The wind is strong, so dodge your tongues
This is a statement.
The small dining table is full of joy.
From Chi Wan to Huo Chuchun, their faces were all filled with happy smiles.
They looked at Huo Nanchuan with their sparkling eyes so dazzlingly.
It seems that he is the most powerful person in the world.
This is especially true for Chi Wan.
She wished she could take the rice wine she had drunk at home and clink glasses with Huo Nanchuan.
Congratulations to him on finally getting the pot of gold.
And it's a whole month earlier than in the original book.
Nowadays, the world outside the small mountain village is changing rapidly. If Huo Nanchuan can go there one step earlier, he will definitely be able to seize the opportunity of the time better.
Chi Wan couldn't help thinking this in her heart, and her smile became even brighter.
…
Good things happened one after another on the Huo family's side.
But some days are not so easy.
At this time of year, spring has just passed and it is approaching early summer.
The back mountain was originally a fruit forest.
The orchard blooms in spring and bears fruit in early summer.
At first it is a small green fruit, and then during the hottest days of summer, it absorbs sunlight and water and grows little by little.
Finally, after midsummer, they turn into big fruits.
Even though the fruits on the back hill are sour and astringent, they will still be fine as long as they are ripe.
But today something unexpected happened.
"Hey, did you hear about that? It's about that incident in the back mountain of Lu Xiangxiang's family?"
"It's just those two bare mountains, what could possibly happen? Could it be that they are asking for 'tolls' again? Last time even the police came, haven't they learned their lesson yet?"
"No, no, it's not about that! Didn't you hear the news? It's a big deal..."
A place where aunties in the small mountain village would gather together to gossip.
One is under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
Another place is the laundry place by the stream or river.
Especially when doing laundry.
You can work and chat at the same time.
A small piece of news would spread quickly among these two places.
The news spread throughout the small mountain village in an instant.
The same is true today.
The first person to bring up this topic was a bloated middle-aged woman.
When she saw that no one knew, she turned to be the only one who knew.
He was waiting for the looks from all around, with a look of pride on his face.
An aunt beside her urged.
"Almost, don't keep me in suspense! Tell me quickly, tell me quickly! Otherwise, I'll finish washing my clothes and I'm leaving!"
"Hmph, you can leave or not. I'm telling you, if you leave, you won't be able to hear what happens next."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen! I'll wait for you to finish talking before I leave! Hurry up and talk..."
That's how it happened.
Finally, the vanity of the fat aunt in the house is satisfied.
Under the gazes of everyone, she raised her chin and spoke proudly.
"A few days ago, I went back to my mother's house and walked through the back mountain of Lu Xiangxiang's house."
"When I was walking on the road, I just looked back and forth. It's not about contracting or new fruits... Such fancy things, of course I have to take a few more glances."
"And then you know what happened? I was really shocked when I saw it - I saw all those newly grown small fruits fall to the ground?!"
The fat aunt raised her voice and spoke loudly with full energy.
A group of people were around, all listening with their ears perked up.
When they heard the fat aunt's last sentence, they were all surprised and frowned.
There are dozens of them working in the fields.
It is a big deal that the small fruits in June fell to the ground.
"It's only June now. Usually at this time, the fruits are not ripe yet. How could they fall to the ground?"
"That's right! There's a fruit forest several dozen meters away in the back mountain. Even if it's barren, it still produces some sour fruits."
"Could you have seen it wrong? There weren't any locusts today, so how could this happen?"
After hearing this, a group of women around expressed their opinions one after another, and subconsciously they couldn't believe it.
They were not expecting Lu Xiangxiang to be any better.
It's the habit of ordinary farmers, who are unwilling to believe in something that goes against the laws of nature.
Seeing the same reaction from everyone around her, the fat auntie immediately became angry.
Her face flushed with anger as she spoke hurriedly.
"I saw it with my own eyes! Could it be fake? My eyes are so big, can't I see the fruit on the tree?!"
"Let me tell you! It's not just one or two fruit trees, it's a whole field! A huge field!"
"Believe it or not, I'm telling you everything I saw! Humph, the truth behind it is true, don't say I didn't tell you."
The atmosphere was about to become tense and tense.
Others nearby hurried over to comfort him.
"No, we don't doubt what you said. Isn't it that everyone is talking about 꽭, talking about 꽭, talking about 꽭."
"That's right... we just sit together and talk. We believe it! We believe everything you say!"
"You said it's only June, and all the newly harvested fruits have fallen to the ground. Then by September, won't there be nothing left?!"
"More than that! I've lost so much money that I don't even have a pants to wear!"
"Just a few months ago, that girl Lu Xiangxiang made such a big fuss, contracting and blocking the road. She kept making a fuss. You said that the back mountain has become like that, how come she didn't know about it?"
"That's right. Didn't they say before that the contract alone would cost 500,000 yuan! 500,000 yuan! I have never seen so much money in my life! I don't know where this girl got the money from."
"Where else could he have come from? It could have been her boyfriend who was a sent-down youth..."
Chatting and chatting.
Everyone turned the topic to the marriage relationship between Lu Xiangxiang and Song Jing.
What must be mentioned here is the famous "Little Grove Incident" before these two got married.
Everyone was talking at once, it was so lively.
"I didn't expect Song Zhiqing to be so rich. No wonder the girl from the Lu family was so shameless and wanted to marry Song Zhiqing."
"I'm telling you, this couple doesn't know how to work. I live next door to them, and I see them getting up only after the sun is shining on their butts, and when they open their eyes they just eat, and they don't do anything else."
"Tsk tsk tsk, there has never been anything like this in our village, except for these two!"
Everyone uttered sounds of astonishment.
There was also naked disgust revealed in his expression.
When the fat aunt heard this, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh! Hearing you guys talking about that, I remember! That back hill is full of weeds, it's worse than before. Lu Xiangxiang and her husband must not have taken good care of it..."
As for mountain reclamation, weeding, watering and fertilizing, these are all things that must be done.
But for Lu Xiangxiang and Song Jing.
One of them is vain and the other is lazy and greedy.
Lu Xiangxiang certainly didn't want to wear her dirty country clothes again, and she was even more reluctant to dirty her newly bought clothes.
