"Go and talk to her tomorrow and ask her to hand over all the furniture in her house to you. They are all neighbors in the same village. It is impossible for her not to take care of your business." Mrs. Liu said loudly and thought she was full of confidence. Satisfied.
"I know, mother." Liu Fushun said, looking determined to win.
"Xiaohua, those two little ones haven't come back yet. Tell them to cook the rice quickly. Your third uncle hasn't eaten yet. Take some meat and fry it. Give him a good supplement. You are eating big fish and meat outside. , It's a pity that your brother-in-law and Baogen didn't get a trace of oily smell." Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her younger son, so she took out a small strip of meat from the wooden box on the bed and gave it to Wang Xiaohua.
"Hey, I get it, mother." Wang Xiaohua was happy because she still had meat to eat at night. Little did she know that her mother-in-law's next words made her feel cold to the core.
"If you eat well at lunch, you don't need to eat meat anymore. Don't give the two little ones food. One meal a day is enough. They won't starve to death." Mrs. Liu said, regarding her behavior, several people expressed their displeasure. His face was indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him, and no one objected. Mrs. Liu paused, as if she thought of something important, and then asked, "By the way, have you got your wages back? Hand them all over. There is still some money left at home."
"No, the Xiao family said they would settle the settlement together after the completion, but Xiaohua's side has to settle earlier. They have a lot of people, and it will only take a few days to clean up the wasteland." Liu Erlang was thinking about what kind of excuse he would make at night. Eating meat.
"Why don't we settle the accounts after we finish the work?" Mrs. Liu complained, "Remember to get the wages of those two back, not a penny less."
"I know, mother, let me tell you, third child, what did you do last night? How could you have fallen into the water if you were fine?" Liu Fugui, the second child, asked.
"I was going out for a walk to eat, but I fell in blindly." Liu Fushun replied.
"Looking at you running so fast, I thought you were being chased by a dog." Liu Laoer accidentally revealed the truth. Liu Fushun was indeed chased by a dog last night. He sneaked to Qiaodong to steal some money, but Xiao There was actually a wolfdog in Ming's house. Its green eyes were staring at him, which scared him so much that he slipped and fell into the river when he ran away.
~~
Seeing Liu Fushun, Xiao Ming instantly thought of those smooth-tongued pretty boys in modern times who only eat soft food. In her previous life, she looked down on such people the most. They didn't support themselves and only wanted to take shortcuts. She didn't expect to encounter such weird people in ancient times. Creatures, especially a pair of eyes that fall on one's own body, make people laugh when they look at them.
"You just caught a cold. I'll give him a prescription and go to town to get medicine." Xiao Ming didn't check her pulse and didn't bother to give him medicine. She just wrote him a prescription and that was it. She really didn't want to deal with this kind of person. Dealing with people.
"Miss Xiao, please feel my pulse. I feel uncomfortable all over." Wang Fushun stopped Xiao Ming from leaving, smiling playfully and daringly trying to grab her hand.
"You don't need to check your pulse. I can tell you are sick just by looking at it. You can't be wrong." Xiao Ming staggered away from him and continued to move forward, but she was stopped again.
"Then Miss Xiao, please prescribe some medicine for me." Liu Fushun refused to give up.
"I'm busy these days. I don't have any medicine at home. You can go to the town to get medicine." Xiao Ming still refused. She was busy and didn't want to communicate with such a person.
"Miss Xiao, don't leave. I have something else to say." Liu Fushun stopped him from leaving. "I have carpentry skills and can make furniture. I'll cover all the furniture in your house. I'll give you a cheaper price. How about that?" "Liu Fushun said confidently, thinking that Xiao Ming would definitely find him. He is the only one in this village who can knock down furniture. If he doesn't find anyone else, he is confident in his appearance. The one who is near the water and the tower will get the moon first. When the time comes, he will be able to knock down furniture. When it comes to furniture, he tries to please, I can’t believe that a little girl doesn’t like him.
When he was in town, he secretly found a few sweethearts based on this face, and they all fell in love with him. As for women, it only takes a little coaxing.
He had a wishful thinking in his mind, but Xiao Ming said directly: "No need, I have already found someone." After saying that, Xiao Ming left. Xiao Ming felt uncomfortable even looking at him for a second. The Wang family had already followed him. Xiao Ming said hello. Her natal brother was an old carpenter. When the time came, she would entrust him with the work. Xiao Ming had already agreed.
Leaving Liu Fushun where he was, he thought for a while and smiled to himself, "Is this called refusing to welcome, little bitch, let's see how I deal with you in the future." He walked away with a proud look on his face.
Xiao Ming arrived at the river. Xiao Han was leading people on Tower Bridge today. The original wooden bridge was too narrow for carriages. Every time the goods were unloaded, they had to be transported manually, which wasted time and effort. Village chief Liu Jisheng simply asked Xiao Han to discuss it. I plan to build a wide bridge.
However, this decision was opposed by many people in the village. The reason was that there were wolves on the Qingshan Mountains, and they did not know when they would descend from the mountains and attack the village. This happened once a few years ago. There were many casualties in the village, so the village chief led People scattered the original bridge and the two wooden planks on the tower to facilitate passage. When there is danger, if the wooden planks are scattered, the wolf will not be able to cross.
Now that the bridge is being built again, many people in the village are unwilling, especially those who are close to the river. The opposition is particularly fierce. In the end, Xiao Ming came up with a way to build iron gates, widen and heighten the entrances on both sides, and then close them with Iron gate, lock it when there is danger, the wolves will not be able to get through.
For this reason, Xiao Han also funded the purchase of four heavy iron gates, and everyone agreed to build the bridge.
There is strength in numbers, and a group of people are working enthusiastically. In just half a month, the house has begun to take shape. I believe it will not take long for Xiao Ming and his family to build a new house.
After noon that day, while Xiao Ming was working, Lin Bai drove a carriage straight to the door of Xiao's house, causing a group of people to stop their work to see who was in the carriage.
"Miss Xiao, I have something urgent, please go to town." Lin Bo said, looking a little anxious, not knowing what happened.
"Senior brother, did you tell me what happened?" Xiao Ming asked. Today is not Friday, so it is not a day for a consultation.
"There is an emergency patient. The master asked me to invite Miss Xiao." There were many people talking, and Uncle Lin was unwilling to reveal too much.
Xiao Ming didn't ask any more questions, packed up the medicine box, said hello to the village chief, Xiao Han and the others, got on the carriage and left.
Watching the carriage go away, the eldest Wang said, "That must be the carriage from Guangji Hall. I came here specially to pick up Xiao Yatou for a consultation. You must know that the doctors in this town charge several taels of silver for each consultation."
"Yes, Xiao Yatou is amazing and can make money." Mrs. Wang also agreed, feeling filled with emotion.
When the carriage was on the road, Uncle Lin explained the purpose of his visit. The patient was from the Su Zhi County Mansion in Pingcheng. When he and the master arrived at the house in the morning, the master came out shortly after entering and asked him to come back quickly to invite Xiao Ming. It was already afternoon when he rushed all the way back. He didn't care whether he ate or not, so he just came to invite Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming thought about her sister-in-law's instructions before she died, and regretted getting in the car without asking. But now she was on the way to Pingcheng. Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed. Senior Brother Min must have encountered something embarrassing before he came to her.
That's it, just make peace with it as soon as it comes.
The carriage ran very fast and soon arrived at Pingcheng Magistrate Su's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the side door, there was already a maid waiting here. He led Xiao Ming directly into a living room, where Min Fangqi was sitting upright, drinking tea. Nothing happened at all.
It made Xiao Mingbai worried.
