Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Chapter 22 1 Family’s Maid 18

After leaving the town, after confirming that there was no one on the road, he ducked into the woods on the edge, threw the things in his hands into the space, and then walked back quickly. Using his own strength, he didn't have to think about it, it would be dark by the time he got home.

Sure enough, it was already dark when I returned to the mountains. I changed back to the clothes I wore when I went into the mountains, took out my backpack, which contained a basket of dead leaves that I had picked up from time to time in the mountains, and carried it back down the mountain.

Every household is already enjoying the shade in the yard. Some people have good eyesight and can knit things and sew clothes under the moonlight.

I returned home despite the strange expressions of the villagers, put down my things, and the first thing I did was to boil hot water. If there weren't enough buckets or other containers at home, I would have to boil enough hot water at once and use the freshness preservation function of the space. , you can use it anytime, so you don’t have to light a fire every time you use hot water.

I took an oil lamp and checked every place in the house where someone could be hiding. I only felt relieved after making sure that no one was hiding or someone had come in and looked through it.

After eating meat buns and chicken drumsticks, I took a shower and lay comfortably on the bed. I felt at ease.

No one saw through today's outfit, and it seems that it can be used when I go shopping in town next time.

There are advantages and disadvantages to the age of the costumed character. The disadvantage is that you have to pay attention to your words and deeds at all times to avoid being exposed. The good thing is that no one will find it strange if you don't show up in the future, but will think it is normal. After all, you are older.

Yawning, I recalled what happened today and made sure there was nothing wrong before falling asleep.

***

I got up early the next morning, went to the river for a walk, and bubbled in front of the villagers who were washing things by the river early in the morning, and then went home to take a nap.

Mei Qianghua was used to closing the door regardless of whether anyone was at home or not. People in the village couldn't tell whether she was at home or not. In addition, she was separated to live alone, so almost no villagers would come to chat with her. On the other hand, if we meet each other on the road, we will hold Mei Qianghua and have a conversation.

So I slept until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

If it weren't for maintaining a necessary sense of existence, I would really want to stay at home and not go out.

Li Dahua's body lacked sleep, and Mei Qianghua's spirit also lacked sleep.

Standing in the yard, I saw many aunties gathered by the river near the entrance of the village. I didn't know what they were talking about. They were not far from my house.

Mei Qianghua wanted to listen, but couldn't find a reason, and it didn't quite meet her current external requirements. After thinking about it, she walked towards Patriarch Li's house.

Firstly, we can find out why the aunts and ladies gathered together, and secondly, we are going to borrow farm tools from Patriarch Li's family, dig out a piece of land in the yard, and grow some vegetables or fruits.

"Why are you here?" Before entering the courtyard of Patriarch Li's house, Zhang, the daughter-in-law of Patriarch Li, who was feeding chickens in the yard, came over through the wall that was as high as Zhang's neck, "What's the matter? "

Everyone in the patriarch's family knows how much the patriarch Li and his wife helped this girl. Although they don't know the exact amount, it is definitely a lot. Even if it is because she is a member of the Li family, the elders should help more. If she has one share, she will have one less share for her children.

Moreover, this help will most likely last for a long time, and may not receive any reward, so the people in the patriarch's family have very subtle feelings towards Li Dahua, especially the daughter-in-law who married outside.

But speaking of it, there are countless young wives in the village who envy her. Although she will not live long, she lives freely now.

Zhang is different from the daughters-in-law of the other two patriarchs. She is the daughter-in-law specially selected by patriarch Li and his wife, the future patriarch's wife, so her attitude towards Mei Qianghua or towards everyone in the Li clan She had to follow her parents-in-law's attitude, so it didn't embarrass her.

"I'd like to borrow farm tools and plow the ground in the yard to see if I can grow something edible." Mei Qianghua smiled shyly.

This is not a big deal. Every family in Lijia Village may be short of farm tools, but the patriarch's family is definitely not short of farm tools.

"You come in first and have a glass of water, and I'll get it for you." He said and turned around and headed towards the room where the farm tools were placed.

Mei Qianghua entered the yard and didn't walk around. She stood there and looked at the patriarch's house.

There are more than a dozen people in the patriarch's family. The house is made of blue bricks and tiles. There is a thatched house on each side of the yard. The kitchen is on the left and the utility room on the right. Including the yard, the entire patriarch's house covers an area of ​​nearly an acre. .

Before the Li clan members were alerted by what happened to Old Man Li and his family, their family circumstances were indeed quite manageable.

But now everyone has their own little thoughts in mind, and they are not willing to build a better house for their families. Everyone now knows clearly in their hearts that even if the house is built, there is a high probability that the boss will own it.

It is also impossible to build houses for all the sons in the family because they are not yet wealthy enough.

To be honest, after learning about this matter, Mei Qianghua's first reaction was that the Li family was not simple, or that their ancestors had produced people who were not simple.

Damn it, a group of people at the bottom of feudal society could have such 'avant-garde' ideas. I didn't expect it. If it weren't for the wrong time, Mei Qianghua would have wanted to make a movie "Awakening" for them...

"Here." Just as he was thinking wildly, Mrs. Zhang came over with a hoe.

He took the hoe and thanked him, and was about to go to the villagers with his "excuse" when Zhang stopped him repeatedly.

"Dahua, are there any outsiders looking for you today?"

"?"Find me? Mei Qianghua was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, has someone come to check on Boss Li?

"I didn't go out today, and no one came to see me." Who is the idiot to inquire about other people's affairs so openly? Don't know how to carry others behind your back? Mei Qianghua rolled her eyes in her heart, and then couldn't help but worry that the Li family members would help Boss Li cover up.

After all, no matter how much the Li family disagrees internally, they are still very united externally.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mei Qianghua's expression, and it didn't look like she was lying. Then she leaned closer and whispered, "Two servant-looking people came here today. They came to inquire about your eldest brother's family. They didn't understand what they said. It doesn’t sound like you have good intentions, maybe your eldest brother really caused trouble outside, and maybe the fire some time ago was really someone else’s revenge!”

"Ah?!" Mei Qianghua looked shocked. If she hadn't set the fire by herself, maybe she would have believed it.

"Ah, what? You have to be careful when you live alone. Don't get involved."

Mei Qianghua blinked and pointed at the villagers by the river, "Does everyone know?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mei Qianghua's finger, and the gossip radar in her head immediately activated. She poured the chicken food in her hand on the ground, "Come on, let's go and listen too."

As he said that, he took Mei Qianghua and walked over there.
