Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

early morning.

In the bamboo groves at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain, smoke curls up from cooking stoves. Adobe houses, blue brick houses, and half-green brick and half-adobe houses are scattered among the bamboo groves.

"Brother Yu, go get an egg and bring it over. Let's have pimple soup in the morning." The old woman's loving voice came from the kitchen.

"Hey, I got it, grandma."

Liu Yu put down the ax in his hand, wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, put the chopped firewood randomly into the woodshed, patted the unevenly colored starched clothes, and turned around to leave the fenced yard.

We have a total of eight old hens at home, and we used to collect six or seven every day. I don’t know what’s going on these days. Sometimes we collect three or four, and sometimes we only collect two or three.

Liu Yu looked at the cold dew that fell at night. Could it be that the old hen had begun to rest her eggs? It was only autumn and it was too early to rest her eggs this year.

Liu Yu, who was thinking about something in her mind, walked all the way to the firewood pile behind the house. The roots of the firewood pile made of wheat straw were very soft after being pecked and pulled by the hens' paws. Eggs were usually laid here.

Liu Yu followed the trend of the firewood pile, from the top to the end of the firewood pile, and finally saw a few chubby big eggs.

I felt happy in my heart and strode forward to take it.

A pair of small hands picked everything up in just a few strokes.

This is a thief!

Liu Yu was furious when he realized it. Because of his reputation in the village, he had never thought about the possibility of being stolen by thieves. He hadn't collected as many eggs as usual these days. He only thought it was because the hens were lazy after the weather cooled down.

Liu Yu stepped forward and grabbed the little thief's arm. With a gentle pull, a boy was pulled out staggeringly.

Liu Yu looked at the white and tender boy in front of her and took out all the eggs in his pocket. There were actually seven of them.

He couldn't help but said angrily: "Goudan, why are you stealing my eggs? You don't learn well at a young age. Go away and follow me to find your grandpa and grandma."

Goudan twisted his body, trying to break away from Liu Yu's hand, and argued with reason: "My aunt said that you are a deadlock, and these things will be mine from now on, anything that belongs to you, this is mine, it is mine egg……"

When Liu Yu heard this, she felt even more angry. She slapped Goudan's butt twice, making the child cry and howl.

Hiding the eggs beside the firewood pile, Liu Yu grabbed the dog eggs and left.

Today he had to go to his third uncle to argue, why did his family have to be impoverished? Grandpa and grandma were in good health. Even if his father died, there was Liu Yu, so why did his family have to be impoverished? , now that he is alive and well, he is regarded as a dead person, and he starts to miss his family's things.

When Goudan saw that this was heading towards his home, he began to struggle, then he gave in and began to beg Liu Yu for mercy.

At this time, the early cooks in the village had already started serving bowls for dinner. The two people made a lot of noise, attracting many villagers who were watching the excitement along the way.

"Brother Yu, what's going on with Goudan? Why is your uncle in the next room still arguing with the child?"

"Yes, Brother Yu, Goudan is the only child of your third family. Your uncle and aunt's treasures are the same. Your uncle also loves them very much. You must be more steady with your hands. The little baby's arms are fragile. , but don’t break it.”

"........."

Regarding these ill-intentioned words, Liu Yu took them all as farts, and without even looking at them, he grabbed the dog balls and went straight to his third uncle Liu Maoye's house.

"Brother Yu, you are not young anymore. If your reputation for bullying your nephew spreads, how will you get married?"

Seeing Liu Yu walking far away, a woman stretched out her neck, put her feet up and raised her voice to give a kind reminder.

When the woman's voice fell, the villagers watching the excitement immediately took a few steps back, for fear of hurting themselves. No one in the village could withstand Liu Yu's punch.

"Don't worry, Aunt He. If you have a good match, please give birth to your own child in advance. Don't they all say that cousins ​​are easy to get married? Last time you told me that a good match is hard to find even with a lantern, so it's better to keep it. Give it to your brother."

Liu Yu snorted coldly, her cold eyes filled with chills, and uttered a string of words before hitting the woman at the exit. After speaking, she grabbed Goudan and headed straight to the village without looking back.

Seeing that the women who had ridiculed Liu Yu all looked at her with disdain, Mrs. Ren hurriedly explained: "My natal nephew's family is not bad, and he was born to Zhou Zheng. Although he is not the first marriage, and he has no children at his feet, he is not worthy of him." It’s not an insult to Liu Yu.”

"You have the nerve to say it's insulting. Why don't you say that your nephew is a rotten gambler. He sold all the children by himself. Even at the age of forty, you have the nerve to accuse Zhou Zheng." You Na couldn't stand it. The woman made trouble.

"That's right, if such a marriage is mentioned on my doorstep, she will be slapped all over the floor to see if I am not serious."

"It seems that Brother Yu has a good temper, and he can still let you stand here and talk nonsense."

Mr. Ren was so embarrassed and angry by what these women said to each other: "Except for the red lotus mark between his eyebrows, there is nothing else about him that looks like me. He has a bad temper and is very strong. He will be angry at the slightest disagreement." If you are not afraid of someone who can beat him, he will break his muscles and bones. If you are not afraid, go to his old lady as soon as possible to propose marriage."

The women looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Their sons liked soft boys and girls, but they didn't dare to marry such a tough boy who was ready to do anything.

Seeing the women's shrinking expressions, Mrs. Ren suddenly became arrogant: "Look, who would want him except the widower who is really hard to tell about his wife?"

On a path hidden in the bamboo forest, there was a man with a thin and slender figure, a full beard, and shabby clothes. Hearing this, his brows furrowed tightly, and his deep eyes clearly showed disapproval.

When he was about to come forward to argue a few words, he looked down and saw his rough cloth shoes with exposed toes. The man tightened the backpack he was wearing, pursed his lips, turned around and walked quickly towards the opposite mountain road.

The bride price of the second brother and the third brother will be paid to the woman in a few days, and his parents also pointed out that he can collect valuable medicinal materials in the mountains.

The man touched his hungry belly and walked up the mountain in confusion.

. . . . .

Of course Liu Yu, who had gone far away from these things, didn't know that Goudan had gone from crying like a ghost at the beginning to sobbing lightly.

When Liu Yu arrived at her third uncle Liu Maoye's house, she happened to meet her third aunt coming out to call Goudan for dinner.

"Hey, why did our dog egg drop the gold beads? How can such a big person still cry? It's not shameful."

Qi Chunhua cleaned up the snot and tears on Goudan's face, and hurriedly called Liu Yu into the house: "Brother Yu, you haven't eaten yet. The red taro slice soup your sister-in-law made today is very overcooked. Take a bowl and try it." "

As soon as Qi Chunhua finished speaking, Chen Jinmei hurriedly walked out of the kitchen. Seeing her son crying with red eyes, still hiccupping with tears, she said anxiously: "What's going on? Who is bullying him?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, do you know who Goudan had a quarrel with."

With a cold face, Liu Yu looked at his sister-in-law, who was usually kind to him, and said calmly: "I slapped her twice."
