I was thinking in my mind, so I said it casually.
"Yes, it will definitely be comfortable to make a mattress. My whole body hurts from sleeping on the big kang these days!"
As soon as she said this, the Liu brothers looked at her as if they were looking at monsters, and then at Xiao Yi.
Xie Yushu is also surprised
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xiao Yi said hurriedly
"No problem, women are afraid of the cold, so a mattress is just right!"
The faces of the Liu brothers were distorted.
"Sister, this tiger skin is worth a lot of money! It's essential to sell it and buy a few acres of land. Otherwise, you and your family of four will just have this big piece of land in the yard. What will you eat all year round! We farmers only have land. rely!"
Only then did Xie Yushu understand that the two brothers thought she was a prodigal, so they waved their hands indifferently and said
"There is no need to sell this tiger skin. I have used a few medicines. If I sell it, I can exchange it for a few acres of land! Besides, Xiao Yi has bad legs and feet, so he can't plant much land. Buying two or three acres is enough for planting! It's also enough for food!" "
"If you can't plant it, you can hire someone to plant it! If it doesn't work, our brothers will come to help when the time comes! After all, you have land in your hands, and you will be righteous in your heart!"
The Liu brothers were a little anxious when they saw Xie Yushu not listening. Xie Yushu knew that the two brothers were really doing it for her own good, so she explained
"Third and fourth brother of the Liu family, I know you are doing it for our own good, but you also know that my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Xiao Yi's parents are partial to their armpits. Xiao Yi had ten acres of land before, so why not let them Are you going to give it to the fourth child?
Do you think that if I buy too much land, I can keep it, instead of making it a wedding dress for others? Just buy three to five acres of land, enough for us to eat! "
"This, alas! It's true, no matter how powerful we are, we still can't do anything with an old woman! Then it's up to you!"
It's not that Xie Yushu can't do anything to them, she just wants to be clean!
Besides, she would rather practice medicine than farm!
"By the way, in addition to giving away leather, eldest brother also asked me to ask, we plan to go to Jinyang City the day after tomorrow to sell things from the mountains in exchange for money! And buy some rice!
There is a severe drought in the entire Tai'an Prefecture. If you want to sell things at high prices and buy some cheap food, you can only go to Jinyang City in Linfu! That's the city closest to Tai'an Mansion! If that doesn't work, you have to go south! Are you going or not? "
"go!"
Xie Yushu responded without any hesitation.
Xiao Yi wanted to stop it, but thinking about the current situation, how could he survive this winter if he didn't exchange for some food? I had to change my words and say
"On the way here, we are bound to encounter victims of the disaster, and even bandits and robbers. Even though it rains, food is still not available! We must bring more people and bring weapons for self-defense, just in case!"
"My father and eldest brother also said the same, so they asked us brothers to come out to contact people! We have to go to other houses to inform them. By the way, you can ask Uncle Xie and Brother Tianqi if they are going. It is best to go together. , everyone is taking care of you!"
"Okay, I'll go back and ask in a moment! Where to meet?"
"Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, at 15:00, the trip will take about seven or eight days, and the round trip is estimated to take twenty days! Bring food and water! And some self-defense items!"
"OK!"
After the Liu brothers left, Xiao Yi spoke a little hesitantly.
"You have been wronged about my parents!"
"Your parents? Are you partial to your fourth brother?
What grievance do I have?
They are not my parents, and I don’t want anything from them! If you want to feel wronged, you feel wronged! After all, it’s you they don’t like! Without you, I would have nothing to do with them! "
Xiao Yi was surprised at first, and then said in a depressed tone.
"I don't want anything from them! There's nothing wrong with me!"
Sensing that Xiao Yi was in a low mood, Xie Yushu wondered if her words were a little harsh!
But what she said was the truth, and she didn't want to apologize, so she changed the subject.
"I'll go home and ask my dad if he's going to Jinyang. You go tell your elder brother and the others!
By the way, put my tiger skin away first. If someone takes it away, I will settle the score with you! "
"Don't worry, no one can take the things I don't want others to take!"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he took the tiger skin and returned to the house. Xie Yushu cut off the honeycomb and put it in a basket on her back to carry back to Xiejia Village!
I found the original owner's house based on my memory. Before I even entered the door, I heard a sharp rebuke.
"It's strange that the widow has no rules!
The little bitches I teach also have this virtue!
He beat the eldest sister, and the next one dared to take away our Yujiao's water, and then bit her back. Those with evil intentions should be beaten to death according to the clan rules!
You two are the same, you are a child without a father's upbringing, and you will raise a son who doesn't know etiquette either! It’s embarrassing for my Xie family! "
Xie Yushu, who wanted to enter the house, paused outside the door. This was the patriarch’s wife, the original owner’s grandma, Mrs. Ma, who often scolded their family!
Just as Xie Yujiao was about to push the door open, someone spoke again.
"That's right! Don't blame my mother for scolding you. You are really not decent. Xie Yushu bullied Yujiao. Xie Baotian and Xie Baoshu, you two uncles are also so cruel! It's such a hot day, Yujiao is too hot in the mountains. I'm all dizzy. I asked you for a drink of water but you didn't even give it to me. Yujiao is your niece! You guys are really blind! Wuwuwu..."
This is Xie Yujiao’s mother, Mrs. Zhu
"Oh! It's my fault for my ancestors! The second brother left, and I failed to teach his children well! It's my fault! I went back to the ancestral hall to punish my uncles.
However, these people cannot be ignored. Now they are so cruel and cruel, regardless of brotherhood. If they don't care anymore, they don't know what evil things they can do!
According to the clan rules, Xie Baotian and Xie Baoshu each played twenty boards! Mr. Lu has no way to teach his daughter, and he has twenty words! "
This is the patriarch Xie Dafu
After the rich man finished speaking, there was no sound in the room. After a few breaths, he heard Zhu say
"Dad, uncles, I have no control over men's affairs. If women in this clan make mistakes, I have always been the one to punish them!
Although Mrs. Lu is wrong, she is still a woman and has a thin skin, so she shouldn’t drag her to the ancestral hall! As her cousin-in-law, I can’t bear her going out to make people laugh, so I’ll just beat her here! "
Catching Madam Ma's look, Madam Zhu rolled up her sleeves, pulled Madam Lu over and slapped her hard on the face! With a snap, there was blood at the corner of Lu's mouth!
Madam Zhu was already angry that they dared to bully her daughter, but now that they caught Madam Lu, she started beating her again with all her strength!
"mother!
The child’s mother! "
Xie Yushu originally wanted to see how shameless the patriarch's family was, but she didn't expect that the Zhu family would be so generous, and she would start to attack them right away! Immediately kicked the door open!
The people in the courtyard were shocked! Everyone looked towards the gate!
Xie Yushu also saw clearly the situation in the courtyard. Her mother, Mrs. Lu, was knocked to the ground, and her father, brother and younger brothers were surrounding her, dragging Mrs. Zhu! Her grandmother and second uncle's family stood with bowed heads under Xie Dafu, looking worriedly at Mr. Lu's begging for mercy.
In sharp contrast to them, Xie Dafu and the Ma family are several clan elders. The elders are sitting in the middle of the yard, with their children, grandchildren, and wives standing behind them. The formation is much more impressive than the county magistrate's trial of a case!
