Mrs. Liu walked across the wooden bridge, and after seeing off Sanlang Fushun, she came to the east of the bridge. The hurried walk made her breathless, and she went straight to Xiao's house without stopping. Of course, she was not going to Xia's house to help. Live.
When she arrived in front of the Xiao's house, she put her hands on her knees and panted. She saw that the Xiao's door was closed tightly, but there was no movement for a while. When she was relieved, Mrs. Liu straightened up and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ming is here." If you're not here, Liu Daya and Liu Erdan, you two lose money and come out to me."
I shouted several times but no one came out. I thought there was no one, so I cursed a few times to vent my anger. When I turned around to go home, I saw Xiao Ming and two little ones coming out of the orchard. Come out with a smile.
Each of the three people brought a basket of freshly picked yellow chrysanthemums in advance. It turned out that after Xiao Ming finished planting the medicinal materials, he took Wang Yunling and Wang Tiandong to pick chrysanthemums when it was already dark.
The chrysanthemum flowering period has arrived early, and the chrysanthemums are bright yellow in color, beautiful and exuding a faint chrysanthemum fragrance. Xiao Ming led two people to pick chrysanthemums. Taking advantage of the good sunshine these days, they dried the chrysanthemums and stored them in the warehouse until At noon, Xiao Ming brought the two of them back, ready to have lunch and continue picking in the afternoon.
"Aunt Liu, are you busy?" Xiao Ming saw Mrs. Liu blocking the door, so she had to say hello. She had a malicious look on her face, and she didn't know why she wanted to come to the door in person.
Wang Yunling and Wang Tiandong were so frightened when they saw Mrs. Liu that their hands shook and they dropped the basket on the ground. The chrysanthemums were scattered all over the ground. Wang Tiandong was so frightened that he started crying.
The image of Mrs. Liu as an evil mother-in-law left a deep-rooted memory in their young hearts.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't speak, just staring behind Xiao Ming with her small eyes, Xiao Ming suddenly became unhappy and asked again: "What's the matter with you coming?"
"What's the matter? I'm here to take these two little ones back. I won't sell them anymore." Mrs. Liu said angrily. She couldn't sleep because of these thirty taels last night. At that time, she just wanted to get rid of these two scourges. Besides, she didn't care about anything else at all. Her Fushun was right and she lost money on the sale. She didn't sleep all night because of this. Twenty taels, how many eggs could she buy? She finally made it to dawn. After sending Fu Shun away, she came over. No matter what, she had to ask Xiao Ming to pay for another twenty taels of silver. And this Xiao Ming is really hateful. If she had asked to buy someone earlier, she wouldn't have had to sell thirty-two people, let alone offend her cousin.
"You two come back with me." He said as he went to grab Wang Yunling and Wang Tiandong.
Xiao Ming stopped Mrs. Liu and said displeasedly: "Ms. Liu, you must have taken the wrong medicine today. What are you not selling? What do you mean by telling me? I am not the person who bought it from you. You can find Mrs. An." go."
"Now that the person is here with you, I will look for you, and you give the person to me."
"You are trying to rob someone! This is not okay, it is against the law." Xiao Ming advised.
"Why are you robbing someone? This is obviously my person." Mrs. Liu was unreasonable.
"It's written in black and white on the contract of sale. They have nothing to do with you anymore. If you take them back by force, you are taking them by force. I will go to the Yamen to sue you and put you in jail." Xiao Ming refused to give in, no matter what. No matter what, she would not send Yunling and Tiandong back to suffer, but she was no match for Old Madam Liu's brute strength. Old Madam Liu pushed her away and saw that she was trying to catch Yunling and Tiandong behind her again. He had to take out a silver needle and prick her wrist mercilessly, and shouted to the frightened two people: "You go to Xia's house and invite the village chief. I want to see how she takes you back." .”
Wang Yunling was brought back to her senses by Xiao Ming's shout, and she pulled Wang Tiandong and ran towards the Xia family. Now the village chief Liu Jisheng was helping to repair the house at the Xia family.
Mrs. Liu pushed Xiao Ming away and was about to pull her away, but she suddenly felt numbness in her wrist and her right hand was boundless. She didn't pay attention. Seeing that the two of them were about to run away, she was about to catch them one by one. Unexpectedly, both hands hurt this time. stand up.
"Ah." She opened her hands and saw four shining silver needles stuck into her wrists. Her hands began to hurt as she shook them.
"You damn girl, what did you do to me? It hurts me so much." Mrs. Liu's face twisted in pain. She has been going smoothly for so many years. At home, the men let her go, and the children also listened to her. There is a village chief outside
No one dared to oppose her, but the first time she felt such pain was caused by a little girl.
"It's nothing. I see that Aunt Liu's complexion is not good and her blood is not flowing smoothly. I'm going to give you a few injections to treat your illness. Don't worry, I won't take any money from you." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"Are you going to stab me to death, you shameless bitch, little slut, let's see if I don't beat you to death." When Mrs. Liu saw someone challenging her authority for the first time, she became ruthless and fierce. Looking at Xiao Ming's smiling face, he slapped her in the face, wanting to give her a firm slap.
Why did Xiao Ming let her hit him? He jumped back a step, looked at the furious Old Mrs. Liu, and kindly advised: "Ms. Liu, don't move. My silver needle is very thin. It won't hurt if it breaks in the flesh." Okay, when the time comes, you have to cut the skin and flesh with a knife to take it out. Think about it, if the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, it will be bloody and the hand will be useless. "
Mrs. Liu was successfully frightened by Xiao Ming. She held her hands and did not dare to move anymore. She stared at Xiao Ming speechlessly. Her little eyes wanted to open like bells and stared at Xiao Ming. If eyes could kill, Xiao Ming has died countless times.
"Damn girl, please pull it out soon." Mrs. Liu hated her to death, but she could do nothing about her. She didn't dare to move her hands, and she wanted to but didn't dare to hit her.
Xiao Ming shook his head, the world is so wonderful, but you are so noisy, that's not good! not good!
"Aunt Liu, calm down and just hold on for a while longer. I'm sure the acupuncture will cure the disease." Xiao Ming just stood far away and refused to remove the acupuncture for her.
"I notice that you have a peculiar smell in your mouth. This is because of strong liver fire. You need to drink some chrysanthemum tea to relieve the fire. Irregular gastrointestinal disorders, indigestion, insomnia and dreaminess are all diseases. But don't worry, since you have found me, I will help you." I will cure you without taking medicine. I have a family tradition of thirteen needles. The first to thirteen needles are superimposed on each layer, making a total of eighty-seven needles. It is guaranteed that the disease will be cured after one operation. "
Mrs. Liu felt very frightened when she heard that. Eighty-seven injections could not kill her. She was not sick at all, and if she was sick, she would not be treated.
"Who wants you to treat a disease?" Mrs. Liu said angrily. She regretted it as soon as she said it. She found that Xiao Ming took her away from the topic. She was not here to treat a disease. She said again: "I'm not sick at all. You Give me another twenty taels of silver, and I won't argue with you, or I will take you back."
"What twenty taels of silver, Mrs. Liu, you didn't calculate it correctly? I don't even charge you for treating your illness. Why do you want me to give you money?" Xiao Ming asked knowingly.
"Don't give me excuses. I'm talking about Liu Daya and Liu Erdan. Who wants you to treat their illnesses?"
"What about Liu Daya and Er Dan? Their surname is Wang now, not Liu." Xiao Ming said, looking at the frustrated old lady Liu and smiling unkindly.
"Don't tell me whether you have these or not. Get me money quickly, or I won't be done with you today." Xiao Ming was obviously stalling for time, which made Mrs. Liu a little anxious. The two losers went to call the village chief. .
"Aunt Liu, you have dementia and can't remember things. You sold someone to Po An for thirty taels of silver. You should ask Po An for the money. How did you find me here? For the sake of our neighbors. For your own sake, I won’t argue with you. Today I treat you for free, but I will have to collect money from now on.” Seeing the village chief and his entourage coming over, Xiao Ming pulled out the silver needle and put it away.
Mrs. Liu had her back turned to others, and she didn't know that the village chief was coming. Although she took out the silver needle, she still wanted to hit Xiao Ming to relieve the pain she was suffering.
"I'll kill you, you stinky girl." By coincidence, the village chief caught her when she shouted loudly.
"Liu Cuilan, what are you doing?" Liu Jisheng was angry. Wang Yunling came to him and said that Mrs. Liu came to Xiao's house to cause trouble. He didn't believe it yet. He didn't expect to see such a scene when he came over.
Many people came with the village chief, including the Wang family, Da Wang family, Liu Erlang and his wife, the Xia family and his wife, and many people from other villages. Everyone was having lunch, and Wang Yunling and his wife were in a panic. Everyone saw him running to find the village chief.
"Ouch, you thought this was your home, so you can hit me if you want." Wang was still wearing a cooking apron. When she heard that Mrs. Liu was asking for trouble for Xiao Ming, she followed her without even bothering to untie it. She was worried. With Mrs. Liu's unreasonableness, Xiao Ming would suffer. However, Xiao Ming stood calmly and calmly, while Mrs. Liu was furious.
Mrs. Song was even more nervous than she was. She ran over to protect Xiao Ming. Even though she had always been kind-hearted, she couldn't help but get angry: "Sister Liu, what are you going to do? Beat my daughter-in-law."
Liu Erlang hurriedly came out, laughed with him, and said, "This is a misunderstanding. How could mother hit Dr. Xiao?"
Mrs. Liu was pointed at by so many people, her eyes averted, and she felt a little frightened. However, she drank out for the money. When she was about to speak, she was overtaken by Xiao Ming.
"Aunt Liu doesn't know what's going on. She wants to arrest Yunling and the others as soon as she comes to the door. She also wants me to give her twenty taels of silver. If I don't give it to her, she'll beat me." Xiao Ming said very aggrieved.
Twenty taels of silver made people take a breath of cold air. They looked at Mrs. Liu with a strange, puzzled, and contemptuous look in her eyes. They thought she was crazy. These days, she couldn't earn twenty taels of silver even if she didn't eat or drink. Could it be that he discovered that the Xiao family had money and came over to extort it?
"You old woman are crazy, you came here to act wild." Mrs. Wang looked at Old Mrs. Liu and sneered with contempt.
"I hit her, but I didn't even touch her with a finger. Was it she who pricked her with a needle? Look at how my wrist still hurts." Mrs. Liu refused to accept it and rubbed her wrist, which was still aching. In order to prove herself, she even stretched out her hands to show everyone, but unfortunately no one saw anything and no one believed her words.
"Why don't you stay at home when you have nothing to do? Why are you here making trouble?" Village chief Liu Jisheng did not give her a good look. His patience had been worn out by her.
"What's the fuss? I asked her to give me 20 taels of silver. Originally, Da Ya and Er Dan were going to sell for 50 taels." Mrs. Liu jumped up, there was no reason but she was righteous.
"Okay, you unreasonable and cunning woman." The village chief pointed at her angrily and funny, "That day you sold Daya and Erdan for thirty taels of silver in front of everyone, and now you want to regret it."
As soon as the village chief said this, people in other villages started talking about it. Many people didn't know about the selling of people in Liujia Village.
"Originally it was fifty taels, let her give me another twenty taels, or I will take the person back and not sell it." When Mrs. Liu started to mess around, she accepted death and made people think it was ridiculous. .
"Is this old woman out of her mind? She wants to make up for the money Dr. Xiao bought from someone else. What's the point?" The villagers in Lijia Village laughed, as if it was the best joke they had ever heard. generally.
"Aren't you crazy? You can even think of such a thing. Hey, Liu Erlang, you're crazy for not taking your mother back." Someone in the crowd shouted, calling Liu Erlang.
The people's pointing fingers made Liu Erlang so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head. He neither bothered his mother nor spoke.
"Sister-in-law Liu, what's wrong with you? Let Sister Ming take a good look at you." An stepped forward, took Mrs. Liu's hand, and asked her kindly.
Xiao Ming wanted to laugh when she looked at An's appearance. An was pretending to care about her, but she just said she was sick. She was really swearing without swearing.
