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

Cuifeng Mountain stands tall and upright, with relatively gentle valleys and steep mountain ravines crisscrossed by rocks.

From the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, most of the bamboos grow. I don't know where Tian Changsheng is at the moment.

I learned from Tian Xiuxiu that because the family had recently hired Tian Changxi and Changshou, they were short on money, so Tian Fugui and Shui Sanmei made preparations.

One is to hope that Tian Changsheng will go into the mountains to collect valuable herbs, and the other is to exchange Tian Xiuxiu's marriage for a betrothal gift.

The results are already obvious.

Tian Changsheng went into the mountains and disappeared, and Tian Xiuxiu was about to be sold to an old man to have a child.

Liu Yu and Tian Xiuxiu shouted Tian Changsheng's name loudly while searching for the person.

I hope Tian Changsheng can respond somewhere where they can't see it.

When the Golden Crow fell to the west, Tian Changsheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's go back first and come back tomorrow morning." Liu Yu looked at the sky and said to Tian Xiuxiu.

They are already deep in the mountains now, and it will take a while to get out. If they get out later, they may have to walk in the dark in the mountains.

Tian Xiuxiu was a little hesitant, Liu Yu motioned to her to look at the sky, and then Tian Xiuxiu reluctantly followed her down the mountain.

When they were going up the mountain, they were much slower because they were looking for someone. Now, because they were rushing down the mountain, the pace of the two of them was much faster.

Hurrying slowly, darkness still completely enveloped the mountain forest.

Fortunately, they had reached a familiar mountain road. Liu Yu was not afraid, so she picked up a stick. Liu Yu took Tian Xiuxiu's cold hand and walked to the foot of the mountain in one breath.

After returning to the village, the two of them took a breather.

"Brother Yu, can I stay at your house tonight? I don't want to go home." Tian Xiuxiu twisted her sleeves and hesitated.

Liu Yu's eyes flashed, and she thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but my grandpa and grandma can't find out. You hide here first, and I'll come to pick you up when my grandma rests."

Tian Xiuxiu was a little girl who had never experienced wind and waves before, and she shrank looking at the pitch-black sky.

"Don't be afraid. It's safe here. Just stay here. My grandpa and grandma went to bed early. It won't be long." Liu Yu pulled the wheat straw out into a nest and let Tian Xiuxiu sit there.

Tian Xiuxiu sat on the scattered wheat straw, with her back leaning on the firewood stack, and she felt much more at ease.

When they got home, Liu Fusheng and Nian Cuihua had already had dinner. Seeing that Liu Yu was a little dirty and messy, they were a little worried and hurriedly asked why they came back so late today.

Liu Yu made a random excuse to fool the two elders, and gave the two elders some foot-washing water to wash their feet. When she saw her grandpa and grandma entering the house and closing the door after washing their feet, she quietly walked out.

The two of them quietly entered Liu Yu's room. Liu Yu gave Tian Xiuxiu a basin of water and motioned for her to wash her hair and face.

Then he went to the kitchen to bring hot food left by the two elders.

A large bowl of pimple soup, three multigrain pancakes, and a plate of green stir-fried vegetables.

The two of them ate half of the meal, Liu Yu cleaned up the kitchen, washed up in a hurry, and then the two of them slept haphazardly.

Liu Yu was not used to having an extra person on the bed, and she didn't sleep well at night. She tossed and turned in a daze, unable to sleep well.

Maybe this day was quite tiring for Tian Xiuxiu. She fell asleep soundly as soon as she touched the pillow and snored slightly.

Liu Yu's head was filled with confusion, and she felt a little envious of Tian Xiuxiu's good sleep.

When the rooster crowed for the first time, Liu Yu quietly got up, lit the oil lamp and went into the kitchen to knead the noodles. He estimated the time and quickly cooked a stack of pancakes and cooked a small pot of vegetable pimple soup.

He hurriedly entered the house and shook Tian Xiuxiu awake, asking her to go to the kitchen to eat quickly.

Tian Xiuxiu was in a daze and dressed neatly. Seeing that she was still awake, Liu Yu hurriedly fetched a basin of water for her to wash her face.

The cold, refreshing water was splashed on his face, which instantly awakened his chaotic mind.

"Eat quickly, find a place to hide after eating, and do whatever you like after daybreak. Just don't go home and wait until dark before pretending to be found."

Liu Yu picked up a piece of pancake and stuffed it into Tian Xiuxiu's hand, then took out a bowl of pimple soup and placed it at the door of the kitchen to speed up the cooling.

The sky was no longer dark, and the sky also showed the gray-blue color before dawn. After Tian Xiuxiu finished eating, she held a few cakes given by Liu Yu in her arms, thanked her and quietly left Liu Yu's yard.

Liu Yu finished her meal, looked at the sky, and then went back to sleep.

"Why are the meals cooked so early today? When I get up in the morning and go to the kitchen, the pancakes and pimple soup are only a little warm." Nian Cuiying was feeding chickens in the yard and couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Yu walking out of the house. road.

"Well... I couldn't sleep at night, so I just got up and cooked the food." Liu Yu said vaguely.

"Don't think too much. Even if it's a marriage, we have to choose this man carefully. It's a lifelong matter, and we can't rush it."

Liu Yu was startled when she heard this. When she realized that her grandma had misunderstood, she couldn't help but laugh. When she was about to say something, she heard a woman's wail suddenly coming from outside.

The two of them hurriedly walked out of the useless fenced yard at home, and saw a woman beside the bamboo forest not far away, holding something in her hands, crying miserably.

"She seems to be the mother-in-law of Tian Fugui's family." Nian Cuihua squinted her eyes and confirmed.

"Mother Changsheng, what's going on?" The nearby villagers were attracted by the cry. They surrounded Shui Sanmei and asked about the reason.

"Our Xiuxiu disappeared. Yesterday she had a quarrel with me and ran away in anger. I thought she went to my grandma's house. This morning someone from my parents' family came to deliver vegetables and said they didn't see our Xiuxiu. I I found a hair tie that tied Xiu Xiu’s hair here..."

"Ah...my poor Xiuxiu, please come back soon, mother will never force you again..." Shui Sanmei cried so hard that she looked very disappointed.

The woman who had given birth couldn't help but feel compassion and began to comfort him.

"Who among you saw my Xiuxiu yesterday?" Shui Sanmei pushed away the women surrounding her and looked at more and more villagers with tearful eyes.

"Yesterday I was washing clothes by the river, and I vaguely saw a figure wiping tears and turning into the mountain road." A small voice sounded.

"You poisonous woman, why are you so evil-hearted? Why didn't you stop me if you knew it was my Xiuxiu?" Shui Sanmei looked ferocious as she cursed at the daughter-in-law who provided the clue.

Liu Yu looked at her young daughter-in-law. She was the newly married daughter-in-law of the Zhang family at the bend of the river. She seemed to be called Qiu Ju.

"My Qiu Ju has only been married for three months, and no one in the village recognizes her face. How do you know that it is your Xiuxiu? If you, an old man, were not blinded by money, how could Xiuxiu run away from home? If I say she is a poisonous woman, then it is also the fault of your heartless mother."

Mrs. Li pulled her daughter-in-law behind her and scolded Sanmei Shui.

"Okay, okay, please don't say anything. Now that we know that Xiuxiu has gone up the mountain, everyone in the village who can help will go up the mountain to help search." The village chief came after hearing the news and made a decision immediately.
