Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

Lin was about to go to the county seat, but he didn't want to go there in a flash, so he said to the outside world that he would go into the mountains to check the bamboo forest and hunt.

After Lin Zheng left, Grandma Li and Uncle Li came.Uncle Li helped to take care of Auntie Lin who was handicapped, while Aunt Li took over all the housework, and even helped pick peanuts with Uncle Li when they were free.

Qiao Mo was grateful in his heart, and couldn't do anything else for the time being, so he had to prepare ample daily ingredients.

Grandma Li knows that their family is not short of meat money now, not to mention that Father Lin has injured his leg and there is a pregnant woman, he and Uncle Li will just eat good food for a few days, so they didn't say anything frugal .When he first came here, Grandma Li even advised him, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable because of what Grandma Lin did.

Qiao Mo was a little angry, but he didn't have to worry about it, otherwise life wouldn't be okay?So after listening to Grandma Li's words, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma Li."

"That's true for Ah Zheng. Why are you going to go to the mountains these two days? The old man in your family is bedridden, and the daughter-in-law is pregnant again, so he can rest assured." Grandma Li couldn't help muttering a few words, feeling that Lin Zheng had done something wrong. Well, Madam Lin just had trouble, how could he leave the mess and go out by himself.

Qiao Mo hurriedly explained: "I'm also to blame for talking too much, he said he wanted to eat bamboo rats casually, and he remembered them in his heart. Bamboo rats can only be found in bamboo forests, and besides, I haven't gone to see the mountain after I bought it. , Just go in these two days. If you don’t go now, the field will be busy with work in a few days, and there will be no free time.”

"Ah Zheng just loves his wife. Your peanuts are all harvested, and the watermelons are about to be removed. Apart from the newly planted rice, there are only two acres of rice in the field." The work is heavy, the peanuts will be ripe in a few days, and there are still corns to be harvested, and the family has planted two acres of sweet potatoes.After thinking about it, he asked again: "Your family's ten acres of dry land have been planted, how do you plan to plant the sandy land?"

"I don't plan to grow food in the sandy land. I'm going to plant radishes. I'll let the land rest for the winter when the radish is harvested." Qiao Mo is still thinking about how to make the sandy land next year, because things like peanuts and watermelons are not easy to grow continuously, otherwise It is easy to get sick and has low yield.What can be grown in the sand?Is it possible to plant radishes for another year?That's eight acres of land!

"Oh, that's eight acres of land. They all grow radishes?" Grandma Li was taken aback. "Is it easy to sell so many radishes? If there are too many, you won't be able to keep them at home, right?"

Qiao Mo hadn't reached this point yet. Even if he didn't know how much radish would be produced per mu, eight mu of land would be quite impressive.In case the radishes cannot be sold at that time, no matter how big his cellar is, it may not be able to hold them, let alone eat them all.

When Qiao Mo was worried about farming, Lin Zheng had already entered the county seat.

He had already asked Guanfeng about the situation in detail before, and he was very clear about the residence of Lin Gui, Lin Fu and others. He didn't go to find Li Shuilian's place, but went to Lin Gui's residence first.

Lin Gui rented a small courtyard in an alley. Although there were only three or four houses, it was a private courtyard with a peach tree planted in the courtyard, which was very quiet.Because it is very close to Luming Academy, many students rent houses nearby, and the environment is very good.As for what Lin Gui said earlier about co-renting with others, it was just a lie.

When Lin Zheng found the place, the small courtyard door was locked, Lin Gui was not there, and no one from the clan was seen.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zheng walked towards the academy.Although the place where Lin Gui studied is not a secret, few people in the village remember the name of the academy. Even Lin's father and mother Lin can't tell clearly, but those in the clan who can read do remember.They don't know where Lin Gui lives, so they should go directly to the academy to find someone.

Before they reached the academy, they saw Lin Hui and Lin Tao from the clan head-on. Lin Zheng was busy using pedestrian shops to cover himself.Lin Hui and Lin Tao almost passed by him, but because of the hot weather, they made another trip for nothing. They were so restless that they didn't notice anything else.

Lin Zheng happened to hear the two talking:

"...People in the academy said that he went to Zhuangzi with the eldest son of the Song family, and he didn't know when he would come back. Could we just wait like this?"

"What do you think these scholars think? On this scorching day, they rush to Zhuangzi to do some poetry gatherings. Food and accommodation are expensive in this city, how can we afford it? It's just that we can't make a trip in vain. If you can't find Lin Gui, why don't you look for Aunt Lin Gui, he's here too. Besides, you can find Lin Fu, and it's easy to do business when you go back."

"But the city is so big, who knows where they are?"

Lin Zheng thought secretly after hearing these words.

If Lin Gui and the young master of the Song family were not there, then even if Madam Lin went to the Song family, she would not see anyone, and Lin Gui would not know what was going on in the village for the time being, which would be even better.

Turning around, I went to Lihua Lane to inquire about the news.

Seeing the sun go down, Lin Hui and Lin Tao, who were looking for people all over the street, were tired and thirsty, full of resentment.Although the two of them had some money with them, they were not willing to spend it casually. They were already planning to go out of the city and return to the village seeing that the day was wasted and nothing was gained.

At this moment, a thin and small man walked slowly from across the street, and asked leisurely, "Is the person you are looking for named Lin Fu?"

Lin Hui and Lin Tao were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "That's right! Do you know where he lives?"

The man shook his head, and said without waiting for the two of them to be disappointed: "I don't know where he lives, anyway, he doesn't know how to live. I saw him in a gambling house, and I didn't come out of it for several days before I started. I won a few dozen taels, but then I only lost my trousers."

"What? He gambled in the casino?!"

"Tsk, what's so strange, when I came out, he lost so much that he was going to sell Fulang."

"Where is the casino?"

Lin Hui and Lin Tao asked where they were, and hurried over without delay.Although they didn't bother to take care of Lin Fu's bad affairs, but when they came, the clan explained that they had to take him back, and everything would be settled in the village.

The process of finding someone was smooth, and I found someone when I entered the casino.

Lin Hui didn't show any politeness, and directly pulled the man out, without retaining any strength in his hands.Lin Hui is the grandson of the patriarch. He has a high status in the clan. He is tall and strong, and his temper is not gentle.As soon as Lin Fu saw him, he was scared, and he didn't dare to resist at all, because he had suffered too much at his hands in the past.

"Lin Fu! You're at ease, you've forgotten what your father is like? What about your wife? Didn't you mean to see a doctor? Heck, if you have time to gamble, your wife's illness must be cured, so don't delay, Hurry up and ask your wife to pack up and go back with us!"

"...He's still not recovered from his illness." Lin Fu's life in this county is very good. He eats meat, drinks, gambles and plays games every day, so he won't go back to the tasteless countryside.What's more, the husband he married has a fierce temper. How could the little buddies in the building be as gentle and knowledgeable.

Lin Hui had accumulated a lot of anger early this day, so how could he be friendly with him, and slapped him on the shoulder, almost slapping him to the ground. "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and pack your things, you must go back to the village with us today, or I will break your legs!"

Lin Fu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to take them to Lihua Lane.

Lin Tao looked at Lin Fu who looked like a coward, and sneered at Lin Hui and winked: "It's better for you, this guy is usually very oily, and it's up to you to take care of him. Why didn't you treat him well when he was in the village?"

Lin Hui curled his lips: "How to deal with it? After all, he is a brother of the same clan, who lives in the same village. If I punish him, even if it is justified, how can he let it go? It won't make trouble in my house."

"How would he dare?" Lin Tao didn't think Mrs. Lin was so courageous. Lin Hui was the eldest grandson of the patriarch's third uncle, and he would be the patriarch in the future if nothing happened.

"Why doesn't he dare? You see, he usually spoils this Lin Fu. Lin Fu has been mixed up in this position, and he has to bear most of the responsibility." I don't know how it was repaired by him.

While the two were talking, Lin Fu in front stopped in front of a courtyard.

Lin Fu first pushed the courtyard door, but before it opened, he raised his hand and slapped it: "Open the door, open the door!"

After a long while, the gate of the courtyard opened, and before people saw it, they heard a series of shouts: "What are you urging, urging your soul! You still know how to come back, why don't you die in the gambling house? You are living a happy life every day." , and regardless of whether I have food or not, marrying you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

"Fart! Marrying such a savage like you, I'm the one who's going to die!" Lin Fu paid little attention to Li Shuilian for a few days when he first got married. The thorn in my heart, now I have no pity.

Hearing the yelling, Lin Fu pushed the door open vigorously, and Li Shuilian staggered unpreparedly from being hit by the door panel, and fell to the ground.

Li Shuilian was startled for a moment, looked up and saw Lin Hui and Lin Tao, and then she cried loudly, like a shrew: "You're a murderer, if you have the ability, you can kill me, this day is over!"

Lin Fu was a rascal in the first place, and at home, Mrs. Lin and Li Shuilian would fight almost every day. Just like this, he even fought with Li Shuilian a few times.It's just that Li Shuilian is a powerful person who doesn't suffer any disadvantages, even if he is a man, he didn't get much advantage.However, this also gave Lin Fu a message, just do something to Li Shuilian, nothing will happen anyway.

He was unlucky in the gambling house, and was threatened by Lin Hui, and when he saw Li Shuilian beating up, all the emotions came up and he lost his temper.

Seeing that he was about to make a move, Lin Hui and Lin Tao hurriedly stopped him.For nothing else, they are still rushing back to the village, how can they be left to make trouble.

"You beat me to death if you have the ability! Let me tell you, Lin Fu, that I, Li Shuilian, are not fooling around. You are such a naughty rascal who only entered your house blindly. Since you don't know how to cherish blessings, I will just Once we get back to the village, please ask the clan to come forward, and let's make peace!" Although Lin Fu was stopped, Li Shuilian got up from the ground, raised her voice sharply, and sent her face straight in front of Lin Fu, as if she was really not afraid of Lin Fu. Fu's fist is the same.

"You..." Even if Lin Fu didn't take a good look at this daughter-in-law, it was extremely embarrassing and resentful to be threatened to "divorce", not to mention there were outsiders watching.Lin Fu's blood surged, and he tried his best to break free from Lin Hui and Lin Tao's restraints. He clenched his big fist and swung at Li Shuilian viciously.

But at this moment, someone ouched, followed by the sound of tables, chairs and benches in the room.

It stands to reason that there was a big commotion in the yard, and they should not have noticed anything else, but the scream was so shrill that it made the unsuspecting few tremble.

"Who is there? Is there anyone else in your house?" Lin Tao asked stupidly.

Lin Hui had more eyes, looked at Li Shuilian, and saw that his expression was not right, and his heart sank.It's broken, it's a big deal!

Although Lin Fu was a jerk, he was not stupid, and now he realized that his expression was even uglier.Because Lin Hui was only concerned about shock and suspicion, Lin Tao loosened his grip, making him break free easily, grabbed Li Shuilian's skirt, and almost dragged her into the room.

At first glance, there was no one in the room, so Lin Fu dragged the struggling Li Shuilian to search the room one by one. Lin Hui and Lin Tao stood facing each other at the door, completely at a loss what to do.

It's just doing something for the clan, and looking for two people to go back, why are there so many troubles?

At this time, Lin Fu searched under the bed, bent over to look at it, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted "Okay!"With a wave of her hand, Li Shuilian was thrown out like a piece of rag, her body hit the wall, and then fell to the ground.

After all, Li Shuilian is a little brother, so she couldn't get up after falling down for a long time.

Lin Fu had already dragged the person under the bed out, and punched him without saying a word, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen after a few blows, and he kept yelling: "You dare to steal me, Lin Fu! My daughter-in-law, I have always been the one who took advantage of others, but today a thief broke into my house. If you have the guts to steal from me, I will let you taste the fist and know who you are, Mr. Lin Fu. "

The person who was beaten was Ma He, a branch of the Ma family. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything except hugging his head and begging for his life.

Everything was well planned, except for this one.

Every time he came here in the past, he would attract people's attention, so he parked the carriage far away, and the servants around him did not let him follow.He knew Lin Fu's whereabouts, and he would not run into him. Even if he did, there would be no problem in escaping.As for the follow-up... He is a member of the Ma family, just a country rogue, and he really doesn't think so.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident today, Lin Fu came back, but his servant didn't come to report.

In the panic, Li Shuilian went out to deal with it, while he hid under the bed, thinking he was safe, but suddenly, somehow, a pair of scissors was stuck in his buttocks, and he couldn't hold back the pain and yelled out.Now he was discovered by someone, but because of his messy clothes and wounds, he panicked and lost the opportunity. He was beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back.

If he brought up the name of the Ma family at this time, the other party might have stopped doing it out of concern, but Ma He didn't dare to say it.

If nothing happened and the rumor of the affair got out, then he, Ma He, was a romantic.But now that something happened, it would be embarrassing for him to spread the word, so how can he go out to meet people?Then pass it back to Ma's house, let alone others, Ma Shangcai has to fix him first.

"Lin Fu, stop now, you're seeing blood, be careful you're dead." They were all from one village and one clan. Lin Hui and Lin Tao felt very ashamed and annoyed when they witnessed this, but they couldn't let Lin Fu Beat people to death.Although it is possible to sue for adultery in the yamen, it would be embarrassing, and generally no one would do that.

When Lin Fu was stopped, he calmed down and saw the blood on the man's body. He was also a little scared, but the fire in his stomach hadn't dissipated yet.Abandoning her adulterer, she kicked Li Shuilian who had just got up to the ground, kicked Li Shuilian a few more times, and Li Shuilian vomited two mouthfuls of blood.

"Alright, Lin Fu, bring him back to the village, and the clan will judge." Lin Hui also looked down on Li Shuilian, and frowned at his embarrassment, and stopped him after weighing one or two.

"I'm going to divorce him! He's a flamboyant thing, maybe he deliberately plotted against me and forced me to marry him. No wonder he urged me to come to the city every day. It turns out that there are really good friends in the city. Ah Mo told me earlier, but I still don't believe it." I was tricked!" Lin Fu cursed.

Li Shuilian only felt dizzy, with several aches and pains all over her body, and her chest felt tight.

At this time, after hearing Lin Fu's words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he was speechless for a while.What happened that night completely ruined his life. Originally, he should have married into Ma's family and enjoyed all the glory and wealth, instead of living in a small village digging for food all his life.From his point of view, it was Lin Fu who had plotted against him that night, and he refused to admit it afterwards. Anyway, his reputation was ruined, and if he didn't marry him, he would only die.

But now...

Li Shuilian looked at Ma He with hope in her eyes: "Master Ma..."

Where Ma He cared about him, he was the one to take advantage of, so at this moment, he naturally cared about himself first.Ma He often flattered Ma Shangcai, so he naturally had some discernment. He could see that these people didn't want to make trouble, so he was relieved.Then, he began to try to negotiate with Lin Fu. After all, Lin Fu is the rightful owner. As long as he doesn't pursue it, can others pull him?

"Master, please let me go, everything is easy to discuss." Ma He knew what kind of person Lin Fu was, and immediately took the money bag from his waist and handed it over.

Lin Fu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he grabbed it and opened it. Hey, there are 30 taels!

Lin Fu's heart changed, he tried not to look happy, and pretended to be angry: "It's just a small amount of money? I'm short of this money, sir!"

Ma He saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them over: "This is all the money I have on me. As long as you can hold your hand high, I am willing to give it all to you."

Lin Fu took it and looked at it, but he didn't know how much it was. He couldn't read.

"Brother Hui, help me take a look, how much is this?" Lin Fu couldn't care less when he saw the money, and asked Lin Hui while licking his face.

Lin Hui is the grandson of the patriarch. He studied in the school in the town for two years, but he didn't continue because he was really not suitable for studying.Maybe it's not good for learning, but it's okay for reading and writing.Although he didn't pay attention to Lin Fu, but country people rarely even see silver, let alone bank notes. He looked at it out of curiosity, and was quite surprised.

50 two!

A piece of fifty, but there are four, that is 200 taels!

"There are 200 taels of silver!" The exclaim came from Lin Tao. His family has a lot of land and the income is not bad every year.Since I was a child, I have read and read with my elder brother. Although it is not as good as my elder brother's ability to write essays, to be a scholar, and to be an official, it is not difficult to recognize and read.He was not as calm as Lin Hui, so he let it out in surprise.

Lin Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively clenched the banknote tightly.
