"What the cowgirl said makes sense. Now that we are here and about to take action, we may not lose yet."
"Winning or losing is not important. The most important thing is that we are afraid that we will cause trouble for you, cowgirl."
Looking at the frowning Xia Houyu, Niu Tangtang understood the meaning of his words and waved his hands: "With my size, others will not think that I have any improper relationship with you. Besides, there are Xiao Wang and three children." Now, they won't think you are bandits."
"Girl, that's not what I meant. I have always felt that human heart has nothing to do with appearance."
Xia Houyu's face has become less swollen, but it will still take some time to recover from its original appearance.
To Niu Tangtang, those words that seemed to comfort him were actually his own inner thoughts.
"Xia Houyu, I understand that I can be careless, but I can't influence other people's thoughts, so just let everything take its course." Niu Tangtang smiled at Xia Houyu and shared the oranges on the plate with everyone, " Eat some fruit, moisten your throat, and let’s continue watching the show.”
Village Chief Zhao doesn't want to cause trouble, and he doesn't want the government to find out about the matter. The little gold dug out yesterday will definitely be confiscated by the government.
So, he took a group of villagers and went down the mountain in despair.
"Village chief, that piece of wasteland is just close to Yunlai Village and does not belong to them. Why should we give in?" A villager was unconvinced and couldn't help complaining as soon as he came down the mountain. "Our village is just hoping to dig out some gold. Have a good year.”
"Yunlai Village is close to the government. We won't get much benefit from making trouble with them."
Village Chief Zhao had a solemn face and turned to wave to Aunt Ma: "Yufen, apart from that wasteland, where else have you been?"
Aunt Ma was stunned and immediately realized that Village Chief Zhao wanted to dig out gold elsewhere: "I haven't been to other places."
"Well, it's useless to ask you. I don't believe it. Only that wasteland has gold. Let's go up the mountain with me tomorrow. Even if we can't dig out gold, we can dig out ginseng and polygonum multiflorum and sell it for a lot of money."
Village Chief Zhao is the backbone of Anxi Village. Upon hearing what he said, the villagers swept away the gloom just now and went home happily.
"Prosperity, slow down, slow down."
Zhang Waner gave Wen Qiaozhen a pug, and she liked it so much that she almost raised the dog like a child.
When I was out walking my dog, I happened to see the village chief leading the villagers, holding sickles, slowly walking towards the village.
She felt curious and walked to a random house to ask about the situation.
I learned that a group of them were going to dig for gold.
Wen Qiaozhen's heart trembled, she picked up the puppy and hurried home.
"What? Gold, Qiaozhen, are you confused? How can there be gold in the ground?" Since her son became the number one scholar, and without the scourge of Niu Tangtang, Mei Xianglian now looks like a rich lady from a wealthy family. Her daughter-in-law also gave her two girls, who were waiting for her from the moment she opened her eyes at dawn, and they were so beautiful.
"Mom, when my eldest brother came home the day before yesterday, it was because the county magistrate seemed to know his thoughts, so he was not allowed to participate in anything in the county government. He was either copying or copying documents every day. If this continues, when will he be able to make achievements? Does the prefect have a reason to transfer him? Don’t forget, the prefect said at the beginning that his marriage to Sister Wan’er must be held after he is transferred.”
Wen Qiaozhen's words immediately made Mei Xianglian realize the seriousness of the problem: "Qiaozhen, go to the county government office immediately to find your elder brother. Tell him that I accidentally fell and ask him to come back and take a look."
"good."
Wen Qiaozhen took the dog into the house, put on her cotton jacket and went out.
The sky was getting dark, and Zheng Lu, who had been digging for a long time without seeing any gold, was panting from exhaustion.
When he turned around, he saw a little light in the small courtyard not far away.
"Uncle Zhou, look at that small courtyard. Is there any light?"
Uncle Zhou looked in the direction Zheng Lu pointed and saw the light. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Seeing that the light was still there, his voice couldn't help but trembled: "That small courtyard has been abandoned for I don't know how many years. Could it be that this place really has something?" ghost?"
"I want to see what kind of ghost lives inside. Everyone, follow me!"
The five of them are all long-term workers of the Zheng family. When their master speaks, they dare not disobey, so they can only hold the sickle in their hands tightly and grit their teeth and move forward.
As he got closer to the courtyard, Zheng Lu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. When he stood at the door of the courtyard, he saw the door that had been obviously repaired.
His heart beat like thunder.
"Oh, why is this door so good? It's so exposed to wind and sun..."
"Uncle Zhou, shut up." Zheng Lu's trembling voice revealed his fear. He took a deep breath and kicked the door open.
The door opened first.
Zheng Lu took a breath, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
"Are you the son of Chief Zheng of Yunlai Village?" It was Niu Tangtang who opened the door. She knew it as early as when Zheng Lu and others were talking. This young man looked very courageous despite his age.
"Who are you, a ghost?"
Zheng Lu got up from the ground and saw a fat woman at the door, and his mind couldn't turn around.
If she were a ghost, could she float if she was so fat?
"Pfft."
Seeing the scared look on Zheng Lu's face, Niu Tangtang laughed out loud: "I'm a human being. I used to be Niu Tangtang who lived in Anxi Village. A few days ago, I had a breakup with my husband's family and had nowhere to go for the time being, so I came to this place. .”
"Niu Tangtang?"
Zheng Lu still knew a little about the affairs of Wen Tianci's family. He looked at Niu Tangtang up and down: "Are you the Niu Tangtang who was kicked out of the Wen family?"
"It's a long story. You haven't eaten yet? If you don't mind, why don't you come in and have some?"
Zheng Lu was about to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, his stomach growled and his face turned red.
"Don't worry, there are still people here, not just me."
As Niu Tangtang spoke, he turned sideways, allowing Zheng Lu to see Xia Houyu and others standing in the courtyard.
Inside the house with a charcoal fire burning.
Zheng Lu was sitting with Niu Tangtang and others, while Uncle Zhou and the other three people were sitting on the small table on the other side, taking big mouthfuls of rice.
"That's what happened. Brother Zheng, do you mind if I call you that?" Seeing Zheng Lu shaking his head, Niu Tangtang said, "I didn't think about staying for a long time. I thought that when spring starts next year, there will be more of us. Make some money and move out of here.”
After Zheng Lu heard what happened in Niu Tangtang's past, he was still in shock. He looked at the two men sitting next to her who were a head taller than him, and the man standing at the door who looked younger than him, but The young man with eyes like venomous snakes swallowed subconsciously: "Miss Niu, you are a pathetic person. No one has ever lived in this shabby yard. I guess they don't even have a house deed. You really have nowhere to go, and it's not okay to live here temporarily. No, even if people in the village see it..."
