Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

Seeing that Grandma Jin was not kind, Qiao Mo was not afraid, and told Lin Zheng not to intervene for a while.Although they didn't intend to suffer losses, they couldn't let Lin Zheng get involved, otherwise things would get worse and they would be disadvantaged.

As soon as Grandma Jin stepped into the yard, Qiao Mo came out of the kitchen.

"Brother Qiao!" Grandma Jin felt apprehensive when she thought of the slap marks on her younger brother's face, she stopped a long way away.Gathering your mind, knowing that there were so many spectators behind you, you became more courageous, and asked loudly: "Brother Qiao, in front of the villagers, why don't you tell me what my Brother Lian did wrong? How can you treat him so cruelly? How can you make him see people if you beat his face like that. "

Qiao Mo calmed down, and said lightly, "I think it's better for him not to see anyone."

The crowd of onlookers fell silent for a moment, and then became noisy. They didn't expect Qiao Mo to be so arrogant when he opened his mouth.

Grandma Jin choked at first, and then she was overjoyed, thinking that with the other party's level of speaking, she would be able to honestly pay the money in a while.In addition, I have to vent my anger on Brother Lian, and I have to talk to the Lin family, can such a daughter-in-law be obtained?

"Brother Qiao, what are you talking about?" Grandma Li walked up a few steps and reminded anxiously.

Qiao Mo patted Grandma Li's hand, not in a hurry to explain, but looked at Grandma Jin and said, "Li Shuilian is your son, haven't you noticed that something is wrong with him recently?"

"Ah?" The conversation was so fast that Grandma Jin didn't react.

"Let me tell you, your Shuilian, he suffers from intermittent insanity." Qiao Mo opened his mouth like a thunderbolt.

"Ah, you, what did you say?" Grandma Jin was so shocked that she almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.

The other folks were all dumbfounded too, did Li Shuilian lose her mind?

"When did this happen? Why haven't we heard of it? It seems quite normal to see him." A grandma couldn't hold back, and asked her heart on behalf of the villagers.

Aunt Li had doubts in her eyes, she felt that Qiao Mo was talking nonsense, and she was afraid that he would not be able to get along in a while.

Qiao Mo sighed, hesitated for a moment before saying: "There were signs of this, and I didn't think much about it at the time. One time when I came back from the field, I saw him running away from my house. When I came back, I found that the kitchen had been turned over. It was a mess and broke several dishes. Another time, he was lying on the door and window of my house to peek in, and he was still cursing. Another time, he opened his mouth to curse when he saw me, and the obscenities were almost unhearable. "

"At first I thought it was because he couldn't get used to me, so I targeted it, but I always felt that it was too much. Later, I asked an old doctor in the county, and the old doctor said that he was probably suffering from intermittent insanity. , just because I usually have a feud with me, and it will be very obvious when facing me. If it becomes serious in the future, I will hit and scold people when I see them, and I will gradually forget who I am."

"When I came back today, he made a fuss at my house again. The quilt was thrown on the ground, and all the vegetables in the vegetable garden were pulled out. I went to slap him not for revenge, but to save him. He was much better after that, he calmed down, he was neither noisy nor noisy, and he would not get sick again for a few days."

Grandma Jin's eyes widened. She never expected Qiao Mo to say such a thing. She knew it was a fabricated lie, but she didn't know where to refute it.

Qiao Mo said considerately: "Grandma Jin, don't worry, you can grab some medicines for him first. If you don't have money, I still have some here. After all, I am his sister-in-law, and I will always help where I can."

Grandma Jin quickly waved her hands and shook her head, not daring to ask for money again, for fear that the other party really bought medicine for her little brother.Grandma Jin is just greedy for money, not stupid. Now she already knows that Qiao Mo is not easy to mess with, at least this loss is guaranteed.

Among the onlookers, some understood it, and some only listened to the superficial words, and the discussions of two or three groups also dispersed.

Grandma Jin didn't dare to stay any longer, she turned back to find her younger brother, and repeatedly told him to stay at home to recuperate from his injuries and not to go out.

Li Shuilian didn't understand what he meant, she just thought that Ah Mo was worried about his injury, so she nodded her head in agreement.After all, he has no face to go out.Therefore, he didn't know what happened tonight until he went out again, and he himself had an extra medical history for no reason.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Aunt Li dragged Qiao Mo into the kitchen, and then gave him an angry and funny look: "You dare to say it, you narrow-minded bastard."

Li Xue didn't understand, and kept asking: "Brother Qiao, is Li Shuilian really out of her mind? It's really scary, I can't tell at all."

Qiao Mo chuckled: "Ask Grandma Li."

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Grandma Li sighed, feeling that her little brother is not very flexible, but luckily he got married soon, otherwise he wouldn't know if he suffered a loss in the future.

After this incident, Li Shuilian didn't go out again, and naturally she didn't come to make trouble again. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the wheat to mature.

When the wheat is ripe, it is most afraid of rain. Fortunately, God favors me, and it has been sunny for several days.Some people in the village had already started harvesting wheat. Lin Zheng went to the fields every day, and finally came back one day to say that the wheat was ready to be harvested.

Hearing this, Qiao Mo carried the bamboo basket, which contained clay pots filled with water, empty bowls, two cloth towels, two sharpened sickles, and two bamboo hats.This hat was prepared earlier, by splitting wide and thin bamboo strips to weave this kind of hat with a wide brim, which is used for harvesting wheat.

The wheat harvest season is the hottest time, and I usually don't want to walk in the sun, let alone go to the field.

"Ah Mo, don't go, I can do it by myself." Harvesting wheat is tiring, dirty and bitter, and Lin Zheng is not willing to let him suffer, not to mention that he has calculated that he has five acres of wheat at home, and he can do it faster if he is faster. Three to five days of work.

Qiao Mo didn't know what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Although I'm slower, the helper is faster after all. No one knows when the weather will change. If it rains, this year's harvest will be faster." But it will be ruined. I will go together, and no matter how hard it is, it will only take a few days."

Seeing his insistence, Lin Zheng had no choice but to agree, but he did not forget to ask: "You move slowly, to avoid cutting your hands, if you are tired, stop and rest for a while, don't be brave."

"Got it, I know it."

When we arrived in the wheat field, looking around the golden field, there were already people rushing to harvest it. Basically, the whole family was dispatched, even the twelfth or thirteen-year-old brothers were no exception.Everyone knows that the hard work of the year is in these few days. If the harvest is late and it rains, the family will cry to death.

Lin Zheng and Qiao Mo didn't say much, they put their baskets on the ground, each took a cloth sickle and began to cut the wheat.

Lin Zheng was used to doing farm work since he was a child, he was proficient and nimble, and he was ahead of him in a short while.

Qiao Mo had never done it before, his hands were raw, he cut very slowly, and almost cut his hand.Seeing that the gap between him and Lin Zheng was getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It was already hot, but now his face was covered with sweat, and his body was itchy from the wheat awns, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Lin Zheng cut for a while and looked back at him. Seeing that although his movements were slow, he was steady, so he lifted the cloth towel hanging around his neck to wipe off his sweat, and continued to cut forward.

Qiao Mo put down the sickle, wiped off his sweat, turned back and drank a couple of sips of water before continuing again.

As time went by, Qiao Mo mastered the technique, and his speed gradually increased, which was much better than before, but it was very uncomfortable to keep bending over.Not to mention Lin Zheng, even the little brother two or three years younger than him in the field next to him didn't cry out that he was tired, so how could he go to rest by himself.Only grit your teeth and persist.

Busy until the sun was high, Lin Zheng had already mowed half an acre, and Qiao Mo seemed to have reclaimed a third of the land.

"Ah Mo." Lin Zheng was so busy that he forgot the time, seeing that the sun was already so high, he hurriedly turned around and came to Qiao Mo's side, telling him to stop. "Amo, don't be too busy, go back and cook."

"Yeah." Qiao Mo was really tired, especially his waist and wrists, as expected, trying to be brave would kill you.

Lin Zheng saw that he was suffering, so he stretched out his hand to rub his waist, and said, "Don't come in the afternoon, clean up our yard, and we have to dry and press the ears after getting the wheat back."

"...Okay." Qiao Mo was also helpless, his wrist was so sore and numb at the moment that he almost lost consciousness, and when he recovered later, the pain should be severe.His waist was so sore that he couldn't straighten it up, and he got better after being rubbed for a while, and seeing that Lin Zheng didn't seem to be affected much except for the sweat, he couldn't help feeling envious.

"Don't be tired yourself. It's okay to take a break. I don't think others are as fast as you."

What Qiao Mo said was not a lie.Lin Zheng can mow half an acre in half a day, and it's no problem to reap an acre in a day, but other people's families are not as fast as Lin Zheng, so check it out.

On the way home, Qiao Mo met several young daughters-in-law carrying baskets to deliver food to the fields, including Yingzi.Originally, the relationship between the two families was not good, and they didn't have much friendship with each other. They just nodded when they met, but Qiao Mo unexpectedly found that Yingzi's head drooped lower than before, as if he was trying to cover up something.

Could it be that Mrs. Lin threw fire on Yingzi again, and she didn't pay attention, leaving marks on her face?

Yingzi said hello, bowed her head, and left in a hurry.

Qiao Mo was only surprised for a while, and then threw it away in a blink of an eye.

"Brother Qiao, did you just go home to cook?" Li Xue and his sister-in-law, Brother Qiu, walked towards each other, each carrying a basket, covered with a cloth, but still unable to block the smell of the food.

Qiao Mo only felt that his saliva was secreting rapidly, his stomach was empty, and he almost sang an empty city plan.

"It's too late, so I'll go back and do it now. Your meal is ready, send it quickly, Uncle Li and the others are waiting."

Li Xue was not in a hurry to leave, she glanced at Yingzi's distant figure, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qiao, did you see Yingzi just now? Does he have a wound on his face?"

"It seems to be there, but I didn't see it. What's the matter?" Qiao Mo asked again after thinking about it: "Why is Yingzi alone, and Li Shuilian? Did he go to the ground?"

Even though it seemed unlikely, I still guessed.

Brother Qiu curled his lips: "When did he go to the field? He doesn't even cook, he just enjoys being at home with Lin Fu. I heard that he urged Lin Fu to live in the county a few days ago."

"That's right, Lin Gui was studying in the county town and didn't come back. He and Lin Fu didn't work, so Madam Lin could use all her strength to order Yingzi around. As a result, something happened yesterday, and suddenly there was a loud noise from their house. The sound of fighting, Yingzi's crying can be heard most clearly, it must be because he couldn't hold back the beating hard, and it was Lin's father who lost his temper before he stopped."

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows and didn't think deeply about it, but he didn't expect that something big would happen a few days later.
