After transmigrating into a book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 141 Borrowing chickens and rice to entertain her

Unexpectedly, her younger sister would come to gossip about her, Mei Luotao was stunned for a moment, and then gave her a chestnut, "You little girl, you even came to tease your elder sister."

Melomei touched her forehead and said with a hippie smile: "Isn't this curiosity!"

She was only curious about her own sister, she didn't bother to ask about other people's family affairs!

Mei Luotao: "Put mine aside for now, tell Eldest Sister, are daddy and the others alright?"

"Father is fine, mother... She is back too, except for uncle, everyone else is fine."

As for Mrs. Li, Melomei never wanted to mention it.

Mom is back?Uncle?
Mei Luotao was startled, thinking something happened to the uncle, and immediately said: "What's the matter, uncle?"

Melomei said: "He went to look for you, but in the end he disappeared forever, but I have already asked Brother Huan to inquire about it."

She believes that as long as uncle is still alive, there will be news.

"That's good." Mei Luotao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and asked again, "Li Huan is still with our family?"

"He is not with our family now, but he is with me. When you meet him, remember to call him brother-in-law."

It suddenly occurred to me that Jun Buhuan had returned to his original appearance, and his elder sister might not recognize him even after seeing it, so he added: "If you meet Prince Huan in the future, just remember to call him brother-in-law. He helps."

Brother-in-law?

"You're already engaged? Do your parents agree?"

No wonder she was so surprised, but it felt very sudden.

Melomei, "Sister, have you misunderstood the point? Shouldn't you be wondering why he is a prince?"

Did she know that in ancient times, status was very important.

"Status is important, but my eldest sister never thought that my third younger sister would be so anxious that she has already found her fiancé."

Her younger sister was only a few years old, but she managed to arrange her own marriage, which didn't surprise her.

Thinking of his family, he asked: "Where are my sister and your second sister, have you found someone you like?"

Although she is an ancient person, she has always been influenced by her younger sister. When the sisters get along in private, Melotao will also ask about their marriage.

"They haven't yet. Seeing that my little girl has not found a date for a long time, my mother is in a hurry. Let me help find a destined person for my little girl."

Melomei drank three glasses of boiled water in one breath, and suddenly felt a urge to urinate, put down the glass, and said, "Sister, where do you go to the toilet?"

Seeing that her sister was going to the bathroom, Mei Luotao immediately stood up, "You can't find it, I'll take you there."

"Ok."

Melomei got up, followed Meluotao to go out, and came to a small corner in the courtyard.

"Third sister, the hut is inside, you go in, the eldest sister is here to watch."

Melotao pointed to the curtain in the corner and said.

Melomei was taken aback for a moment, and said incredulously, "Eldest sister, what is this hut?"

"It's relatively simple here, and men and women share the same toilet. When I used to come here, I had to wait for Brother Du to watch out before I dared to enter. Now I'm used to it."

Thinking of the previous scene, Melotao felt her face burn badly.

She was afraid that her sister would be worried, so she continued: "The people here are quite simple, and there hasn't been any peeping phenomenon for a long time, so it's pretty safe."

If she was alone, she would definitely not dare to live in this kind of place, but with a man in the family, it would be a different situation.

Melomei had no choice but to open the curtain and walk in.

Seeing the two wooden planks on the latrine made her tremble with fear, and felt even more distressed for the elder sister.

After finishing the solution quickly, he ran out quickly, and said to Mei Luotao who was standing watching the wind: "Sister, I don't want to stay in this place anymore, let's go back quickly."

She really doesn't know how to live in such a terrible place, and now she can't help but feel lucky that she has a broken thatched hut instead of this kind of big courtyard, otherwise she would be crazy.

"Third sister, the aunt hasn't come back yet, so I have to wait for her if I want to leave. Besides, our house hasn't expired yet, so if we leave like this, the landlord won't refund the deposit."

They rent this house, although it is only a small room, but they still need five hundred copper coins per month, including food and water, they will spend one or two taels of silver a month to save.

The house is so rotten, there must not be much deposit, Melomei said: "The deposit can't be refunded."

Then asked, "How long can I come?"

She has been here for a long time, and she has not seen Mrs. Wang herself.

Thinking that Aunt Wang always came back late, Mei Luotao said: "I'm afraid it will be dark."

"so late?"

"She went to a family on the street to help starch and wash clothes. Because of the distance, she had to go out at dawn every day and come back after dark."

In order to make up for the family, Aunt Wang had to leave early and return late.

Now that Mei Luotao has said so, what else can Mei Luomei do, so she can only sigh and continue to wait.

The two sat in the room for a while, and when Mei Luotao saw that it was getting late, she said to her younger sister, "Sister, take a rest here, and I'll cook a meal."

"Go ahead."

Melome nodded and waved.

Mei Luotao didn't say anything more, and went to look around in the rice jar, and then suddenly remembered that there was no rice, and wanted to get half a catty of sorghum rice, but also thought that her sister didn't like to eat it.

Frowning, he took a bowl and walked out the door, hoping to see who could borrow a bowl for emergency.

After walking around the courtyard, I was able to borrow half a bowl of rice.

Everyone is not rich, and this half bowl of rice was made by more than a dozen families.

"Peach, what are you doing?"

Du Lanfeng went out to buy a chicken, and when he came back, he found Mei Luotao standing in the yard holding a bowl, and couldn't help asking.

"My sister doesn't like sorghum rice, so I want to borrow some rice and cook her a meal of white rice."

Seeing that Du Lanfeng was holding a chicken in his hand, he said, "What are you doing with this chicken?"

They have already spent all their money, and now they can live well. Besides, a chicken is not cheap, and it is very difficult to eat chicken.

"Third Sister finally found you. I figured that I must let her have a good meal, so I promised to guide Uncle Zhang's family for half a year for free, and his family will give me this chicken as a Shuxiu."

Du Lanfeng carried the chicken and ran to look for a kitchen knife.

The once high-spirited scholar is now finally forced by life to shoulder the burden of family.

One porridge and one meal, think hard-won!
Melomei was standing by the window at this time, looking at the two people in the yard through the half-open window, feeling her nose sore.

She never knew that her eldest sister would live like this, she would have known...

What if I knew her earlier?
She can change the lives of a few families at most, but cannot change dozens or hundreds of families, unless...

Melome couldn't imagine.

Gathering up his emotions, he opened the door and walked out, blocking Du Lanfeng who was holding a kitchen knife and preparing to kill a chicken.

"Brother Du, please return this chicken. You don't have to be so polite. I'll just eat some sorghum paste."

"No, the chicken must be killed."

Du Lanfeng took a bowl and put it under the chicken's neck, "Your eldest sister also needs to mend."

Melomei couldn't answer these words, so she had to take a few steps back.

She can not eat, but she can't stop people's wishes.

"Brother Du, what do you want to do in the future?"

Seeing Du Lanfeng kill the chicken and remove the chicken feathers, Melomei stood aside and chatted with him.

Du Lanfeng plucked a handful of chicken feathers, found that it couldn't be pulled, poured some hot water, and said: "I used to want to be the number one in the exam and be an official to plead for the people, but now I'm at a loss, and I can't find a way to make a living. .”

Now that everyone has problems eating and drinking, who would consider studying and learning!
Melomei said: "There is a store that lacks a bookkeeper. I wonder if Brother Du is interested?"

　I don't know if it's a cold or Yang, but I have been groggy for the past two days, have a severe headache, my whole body is sore and weak, and sometimes I am cold and sometimes hot, even taking some medicines is useless.
