On the way back, although Pian He walked very fast, he didn't look flustered at all. He passed by the open space in front of Du Village Chief's house, and by the way, he heard the villagers talking loudly about how Cai Lao had been wronged and couldn't stand everyone's pointing fingers. , committing suicide by jumping into a well.

When they saw Pian Huo passing by, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, and the air seemed to be stagnant. They all looked at Pian Huo with wide eyes, thinking that Pian Huo's family was really lucky and had not been bitten by wolves. die.

The next moment, Pian He heard the sound of someone secretly gasping for air.

Pian Huan passed by calmly and continued to rush home without stopping.

"Sister-in-law, Pianheng is still young. I want to keep her for a few more years. It won't be too late to get engaged when she is fifteen." Mrs. Huang was impatient with Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu usually disliked her and bullied her honestly. Such Mrs. Wu , how much better could the in-laws I found for my daughter be?

"Brothers and sisters, this person is the grand-nephew of Village Chief Du. Not only is he handsome, but he is also very filial. You can't find such a good match even with a lantern. Why don't you want it?" Mrs. Wu changed her hostility towards Mr. Huang. , with a very friendly attitude.

"Sister-in-law, Sanni is one year older than Pian He. She hasn't gotten engaged yet. With such a good marriage, why don't you think about Sanni?" As he spoke, Huang stood up and pretended to drive away people.

"Second brother and sister, I didn't like Sanni, but I liked Pianheng. When you two get engaged, you will move out of here and live in the village. Have you heard about the wolves in this area? What a great thing, the house has been found for you, don't you think I'll take it seriously?" Mrs. Wu just sat there, and she would never leave until the matter was completed today.

She actually really wanted to make Sanni and Du Bingchang a couple, but she had such a relationship with Du Bingchang's grandfather. After Du Bingchang's grandmother died, if she remarried, wouldn't it be a mess of generational lines? She couldn't do it, she couldn't do it.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu didn't get up, Mrs. Huang walked to Mrs. Wu, took her arm, pulled Mrs. Wu up directly, walked two steps and pushed out the door, "Sister-in-law, we can wait until her father comes back to talk about Pian He's marriage. , you should go back first, I am very busy and have no time to gossip with you here."

"Hey, hey, second brother and sister, please wait a minute. Listen to me. Pian He is blessed. This marriage is great. They are such a perfect match. You rejected this marriage and passed this village. But if you don’t have this store, you won’t regret it..."

Mrs. Wu was pushed out of the door by Mrs. Huang, just in time to meet Pian He who was returning home.

When Mrs. Wu saw Pian He, her eyes lit up. She couldn't convince Mr. Huang, so she planned to persuade Ms. Pian He. Unexpectedly, Ms. Huang guessed Mrs. Wu's intention when she saw her daughter coming back, and gave her a strong push.

Mrs. Wu was pushed forward by Mrs. Huang and rushed forward four or five steps, directly passing by Pian Huan. Mrs. Huang pulled her daughter back again and closed the courtyard door. The whole movement was done in one go, smoothly and smoothly. Mrs. Wu was like this Was sent away by Huang.

Pian He entered the courtyard and saw Huaiye and two puppies standing in a row under the eaves, looking at her and Huang. She was dumbfounded and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Pianheng, don't go to the village from now on. Mom will go to the village to get rice wine." Huang didn't want to talk to her daughter anymore, so she felt very unhappy after leaving such a sentence, and turned around and went into the kitchen.

In fact, Pian He knew why Mrs. Wu came to the house. Mrs. Huang pushed Mrs. Wu out of the door. The result was obvious. Mrs. Huang did not accept Mrs. Wu's argument, but Pian He still followed Mrs. Huang into the kitchen.

"Mom, let's take Huaiye to the county town the day after tomorrow to see the houses in the county town, okay?"

"Okay." Huang was in a bad mood and responded dully.

With Huang's consent, Pian Huan said again: "Mom, I'm going to go to the back field to ask my grandfather to come to the house for dinner and make more lunch."

"Well, go ahead and take Rhubarb with you." Huang was a little absent-minded. She always felt that Wu's purpose of visiting today was not simple, and she was in a irritable mood.

"okay."

Pian He agreed and went out with Dahuang. He passed by two blue brick houses under construction. Seeing that the builders did not stop work because of yesterday's rumors, he knew that Lao Hutou had not been affected by the Cai Laozi incident.

Walking to the pond at the foot of the mountain, Pian Huo saw the frowning old Hutou and the pea stalk that was crushed because of the wolves coming down the mountain.

"Pian He, as long as it doesn't rain, there are still ten days left to harvest these peas that have fallen on the ground. Don't waste it." Old Hu was worried that the peas that were about to mature were eaten by the beasts on the mountain.

"Okay, Grandpa, I have something to tell you. My mother has prepared lunch. I'll call you to eat. We'll talk as we walk." Pian Huan squatted down and held down Dahuang who wanted to go into the water to catch fish.

"Pianheng, you want to tell me about fish oil and building a house in the big yard on the mountain. Come on, I'm looking for you too." Old Hutou cheered up and walked back.

Pian Huo followed closely behind with rhubarb in hand.

"Pian He, after we build your house and your third uncle's house, it will be time for the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, we will build the house on the mountain by the end of last year. Then we can go to the mountain to boil fish oil."

The two of them talked while walking. When it came to boiling fish oil, Lao Hutou was more active than Pian He. He didn't make fish with distiller's grains today, so he didn't boil fish oil.

"Grandpa, I'll give you the money to build a house on the mountain. Grandpa will do this for you."

In the past two months, the family's business has made a lot of money. In addition to the wages paid to them, plus the cost of building a rough adobe wall around the mountain and the cost of digging a pond, there is still something left. Eighty-six taels of silver is enough to build a sturdy little house on the mountain.

But what Pian He wants to talk to Lao Hutou is not these things, but that after everything is built and the house on the mountain is officially opened, the money earned from selling fish, distilled fish and fish oil will be used to pay for Everyone’s wages and how the rest should be distributed.

This issue needs to be finalized before the news of Hu Shoufu's death comes back, so that everyone will not fight against each other in order to compete for interests and make the family uneasy. By then, I am afraid that the cave will not be able to cover it.

In a word, the business and the top of the mountain, including the cave, all belong to the second bedroom. The second bedroom must account for the majority, and Lao Hutou accounts for the smaller portion.

The families are separated, and family ties have been put aside for the time being. Only common interests can tie Lao Hutou and Lu to the second room tightly, create a good environment for Huang, stabilize the rear area, and allow her to have the energy to go to the county town. , broaden your horizons and live your own life.

After the news of Hu Shoufu's death came back, Pian He planned to change the head of the second house to Huaiye, let Huaiye establish the household, and then make up a dowry for Mr. Huang and go to the Yamen for registration.

Come to think of it, when Hu Shoufu comes back with his second wife, he will insist on divorcing the Huang family for the sake of the second wife's status as a legitimate wife. Of course, this should be a few years later. With these few years, As a buffer, Huang has no worries and can grow up quickly. She can run her business in the county and will not be afraid of being abandoned by Hu Shoufu. Even if she is abandoned, she will still be able to support herself.

When the time comes, even if Lao Hutou and Mr. Lu do not stand on the side of the Huang family, but wholeheartedly support their son Hu Shoufu, and agree that Hu Shoufu divorces the Huang family, Pian He can understand that people don't care who is good or bad, they just stand on their side. Just in different positions.

At the same time, the secret of the cave cannot be kept, so it is better to make it public. Pian He will give the cave to the Hu clan instead of taking advantage of Hu Shoufu. I believe that after a few years, the Hu clan will have a stable foothold in Xiufeng Village. , the cave can be defended even in the hands of the Hu clan.

Pian He had planned this from the beginning and had thought it over carefully, so he brought Lao Hutou in to do business together for the sake of the Huang family. Only when the Huang family is well, Huaiye can be well, and she can live. Be more comfortable.

From now on, she will follow the Huang family. As for Huaiye, it will depend on what he chooses.

Hu Shoufu couldn't stop her. She didn't want to live under her stepmother's hands. She would definitely not be able to adapt to such a life.

Pian He also thought that Hu Shoufu's second wife's natal family should be from a wealthy family. Since then, Hu Shoufu has become prosperous and prosperous. He may never come back to know his father, who was born with mud legs, like Old Hu Tou. Wouldn't this be better, everyone? They all thought he was really dead, and they all lived their own lives from now on, having nothing to do with each other.

Of course, if the news of Hu Shoufu's death comes back, Pian He has no intention of telling Lao Hutou and Huang that Hu Shoufu is not actually dead.
