Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 10 Questions from the Village Women
"Smelly woman, see if I don't beat you to death!"

The more Wang Le thought about it, the more angry he got up from the ground, and shook his fist at Li Yuyan.

"boom!"

In the next second, he was kicked to the place where he got up just now.

This time, it was Lin Xiaodong's foot.

With the original owner's resentment towards Wang Le, she kicked him fiercely in frustration.

Wang Le had no chance to stand up and resist.

The village women watching the excitement were all dumbfounded.

Is this still the cowardly little forest in their eyes?

"Stop hitting, he can't take it anymore!"

Li Yuyan was afraid that Wang Le would not be able to help beating him. If he killed Lin Xiao, he would have to pay for his life. Who would make the salt and sell it for money?
He pulled Lin Xiao aside, and Wang Le took the opportunity to escape from the yard by rolling and crawling.

Wang Le, who was beaten into a pig's head, was very unconvinced. He stood at the door and shouted at Lin Xiao:

"Sissy, you wait for me, I will never spare you two!"

"Who can't you spare?"

After yelling, Wang Le was about to leave, but was bumped into by the village chief who came back pushing the salt stone.

Wang Le knew he was wrong, so he had no choice but to leave in despair.

"Village chief, why are you here in person?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Since I have charged you for your hard work, I must arrange the work properly."

The village chief directed the villagers to pile up salt rocks in the corner of the yard, and then led the villagers to continue to collect goods.

Seeing this situation, the village women who watched the excitement all wanted to ask Lin Xiao what he wanted the poisonous salt stone for.

But thinking of the scary appearance of Lin Xiao and his wife beating Wang Le together just now, chills ran down their backs, and no one dared to ask, so they had to go back disgruntled.

When the salt stone was brought back, Li Yuyan hurriedly lit a fire to boil water.

When the village chief brought back the second batch of salt stones, Lin Xiao had already made a batch of salt.

In this way, after working until midnight, Lin Xiao finally made nearly [-] catties of table salt.

He put these salts into bamboo tubes, one catty of salt per bamboo tube, to keep fresh and keep quantity, the best of both worlds.

Early the next morning, Li Yuyan sent most of the salt to Zhou Dajun's house in Zhoujia Village.

The other small portion of salt was delivered to Ma Guihua by Lin Xiao himself.

After getting the salt, Ma Guihua and the village head immediately set off to sell it at the grain and oil store in Kyushu City.

Lin Xiao, who came back from the village chief's house, saw that Li Yuyan hadn't come back yet, so bored, she took a machete and went to the mountain alone to chop bamboo.

She wants to make some bamboo salt to use as toothpaste, otherwise she always feels that she has not brushed her teeth and is unhygienic.

When passing by the small river, I met a group of village women who were washing clothes.

They pointed at Lin Xiao. Obviously, the series of events that happened yesterday have already spread in the village.

If surrounded by this group of village women asking questions, it would probably be a bit of a headache.

So she quickly turned around and turned back.

Decided to walk up the hill.

The path was covered by dense weeds, if there were no machetes to open the way, it would be difficult to move an inch.

I wanted to chop two bamboos at random and go back, but I turned up the hill and couldn't find any bamboo.

Is there no bamboo in the back mountain?

Just when she was wondering, she vaguely heard the sound of huge waves hitting the shore not far away.

There is not even a deep lake here, let alone the sea, how can there be the sound of waves?
Lin Xiao was very surprised, and felt something was wrong in his heart.

There is no sea here, no deep lake, and it is impossible to have the sound of waves!

So where did the sound come from?

There is only one possibility, what she heard was not the sound of ocean waves, but the sound of some kind of giant creature!

The first thought that flashed through Lin Xiao's mind was the giant python!

She once saw a collection about giant pythons on a short video platform, and there was an episode in which the sound made by giant pythons was no different from the sound of ocean waves.

Alert by nature, she immediately turned back the way she came.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a group of village women who were going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to improve their meals.

Do you want to remind them?
Lin Xiao was very confused.

If I remind them, I have no evidence, just my own guess, they may not believe it.

What if they narrow-mindedly think that they are doing this to prevent them from going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, so they have to arrange themselves to die in the future?

If you don't remind me, if you are swallowed alive by the giant python, you will be condemned by your conscience, and it will be the same for a lifetime.

Lin Xiao was still struggling, and several village women who watched the whole process outside her house yesterday surrounded her.

"Xiao Linzi, you are so brave, you actually beat up that bastard Wang Le, you are a man!"

"By the way, I heard from the head of the family that you hired someone to move all those poisonous salt rocks home. Can you tell your aunt what are you going to do?"

"It's definitely not for the waist, Xiao Linzi, so stop hiding it and tell auntie!"

"Yeah, tell us!"

……

Facing the eager eyes of the village women, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Now is not the time. When the time is right, I will naturally tell my aunts."

The village women were obviously not satisfied with this answer.

They felt that Lin Xiao deliberately did not tell them the secret of her fortune.

"What I'm in charge of is right. Scholars are really full of eyes!"

"Xiao Linzi, you have let the aunts down too much!"

"Isn't it? Are you afraid that we will steal his job?"

……

Village women, what you said to each other made Lin Xiao see what it means to be fearful!

After the village women scolded Lin Xiao, they continued to rush up the mountain with their baskets in their arms.

Lin Xiao quickly ran to the front of the village women and stopped them from moving forward.

"Xiao Linzi, what are you doing?!"

"There may be danger on the mountain, you'd better not dig wild vegetables."

Facing Lin Xiao's kind reminder, instead of being grateful, the village women felt that Lin Xiao had ulterior motives.

"Hmph, you said that if there is danger, then there is danger? Let me see, is there a secret of your fortune hidden in this mountain, and you deliberately lied to us because you didn't want us to find out?!"

"Bah! You're still a scholar! You have such a bad heart!"

"Xiao Linzi, you make your fortune, we dig our wild vegetables, our well water does not violate the river water, why do you have to make trouble with us?"

The faces of the village women were full of doubt and contempt.

If a person wants to seek death stubbornly, even a few cows will not be able to pull them back.

It's useless to talk too much, Lin Xiao glanced at the village women, left a sentence "I can do it for myself", and then went home with a machete.

Li Yuyan had already returned from delivering salt from Zhoujia Village, and was cooking the dried fish specially given by Zhou Xiaojun and his wife.

Salt is essential for fish to taste good.

It is precisely because it is difficult for the common people to eat salt, so they will not catch fish in the river unless they have to.

Now, Lin Xiao's family has realized the freedom to eat salt, and this fish has naturally become an excellent source of protein.

"It's delicious!"

"Are you back? You can eat later."

Li Yuyan continued to cook while greeting her.

Lin Xiao, who was lying on a bamboo recliner in the yard, heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, and smelled the smell of fish soup filling the yard, feeling as if he had passed away.

　Do you believe in Tommy?

　　I once saw a very touching story.

　　It is said that there is a pair of lovers who love each other very much, but unfortunately, the man got an incurable disease. Before he died, his girlfriend bit his hand, saying that it was to make a mark so that they could recognize each other in the future.

　　After her boyfriend died, her girlfriend suffered for three full years.

　　One day, my girlfriend had a dream...
