Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 107 If you don’t have money, you’ll be poorer

Lin Xiuli said goodbye to her uncle and headed home.

Qingquan Town is seven or eight miles away from Xialin Village. She walks very fast and can get home in about an hour.

As a result, before walking half a mile, I heard the ringing of a bicycle bell behind me.

He kept pinching her.

When I turned around, I saw that it was my sister-in-law Zuo Hongmei.

Lin Xiuli is the eldest daughter in the family, but she also has an older brother who works in a coal mine out of town.

My sister-in-law, Zuo Hongmei, is a talkative person and talks a lot, but overall she is not a bad person, and she falls into the thankless type.

"Xiuli, why are you walking? Don't you have a bicycle?"

"Wei Ye took the car out for fun and hasn't come back yet."

Lin Weiye is Lin Xiuli’s fourth brother.

The Lin family has six children, two sons and four daughters.

This era is an example of improper configuration of family members.

The labor force is too small.

Although women in this era basically work just as hard as men, there are indeed many strenuous tasks that women cannot do and require men to step in front.

Therefore, in the minds of the older generation, having a daughter is a loss.

And whose family has more girls and fewer sons, others will also make irresponsible remarks behind their backs.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiuli was treated as a son by her family to some extent, so the marriage was delayed.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

"Very good."

Lin Xiuli turned around and jumped on the bicycle, grabbing her sister-in-law's clothes.

Even though Zuo Hongmei is less than 1.6 meters tall, she is quite strong. Carrying Lin Xiuli, a big man who is 1.7 meters away, she still does not find it difficult.

"How did that person look today?"

Everyone in the family knows about Lin Xiuli's blind date, and it is considered a top priority in the family.

"Oh, that's alright."

"It's good, really. Why do I remember that Sister-in-law Xue said that person's family is very poor?"

"What does it matter if my family is poor? Our family is not rich either."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Zuo Hongmei disagreed, "We women, don't we just want to find someone who is capable and has some wealth to live our lives? Let me tell you, he is living in poverty all by himself, and thieves can't get in. Everyone is shaking their heads. If you go again, won’t your family be too poor to open the door?”

"How can my sister-in-law say such an exaggeration? People live a good life, and everyone hopes to find a rich man. What about people like us who have no money?"

"Oh, what am I telling you? What are you telling me? We are not talking about the same thing..."

"I understand what a sister-in-law means, but I still think character is more important than family status. Living a life together is a lifelong matter for two people. If we have more money, we will be rich. If we don't have money, we will be poorer.

Besides, look at your sister-in-law, when you and my brother got married, I didn’t see you saying anything. "

"Who says I don't regret it? I regret it so much."

Zuo Hongmei said angrily, "If I didn't feel sorry for my two children, I would have stopped dating your brother!"

"Giggle~ I don't think so. Every time my brother comes home, you are as happy as anyone else. Not only do you cook a big table of delicious food, but you also wear clothes you like. Why is this..."

"Who wore it? When did you see me wearing it... Hey, hey, let's talk about your business again. Why are you bringing it to your sister-in-law?

By the way, I remember that Sister-in-law Xue introduced someone to me. I heard that he was a good person. He worked in the county or somewhere, and he was a public servant. Don’t you think about meeting him? "

"No need," Lin Xiuli smiled, "They work in the county, and they are not the same kind of people as us. We are not in the right family, and if we are forced to be together, we will definitely feel uncomfortable everywhere."

"I'll tell you..."

"Let's not talk about this, sister-in-law. I have an idea in mind about this matter."

"Yo yo yo, here's an idea, just meet them once."

Lin Xiuli smiled and said nothing more.

My sister-in-law is close to her, but I don't actually understand her heart.

Like most other people, she just wants people to live their lives again according to their established or already experienced life patterns.

She doesn't like that.

In comparison, Li Muyang, who had not read many books and looked naive, seemed to understand her better.

The wind blew her hair, and she had a plan in mind.
.
"Oh, your mood looks pretty good, right?"

After Li Muyang returned, he was not in the mood to go home, so he rushed directly to the Xue family's sister-in-law's house.

"Sister-in-law, give me a sip of water, I'm going to die of thirst."

"Okay, I'll give you some water."

Sister-in-law of the Xue family came out from the kitchen with a ladle of water.

The groundwater at this time is very clean. In summer, it doesn’t matter if people drink raw water directly.

The Xue family's sister-in-law scooped ice water from the water tank.

Li Muyang took it and drank more than half a teaspoon of water in one go.

Wiping his mouth, he burped with satisfaction.

"Delicious."

"This is a good drink, isn't it just a sip of water?"

"Haha~"

Li Muyang sat down on the doorstep.

Sister-in-law of the Xue family also sat on the horse, picking beans and tilting her head to ask him.

"Hurry up and tell my sister-in-law, how do you get along?"

"Haha, that's pretty good."

"See how proud you are." The Xue family's sister-in-law was familiar with Li Muyang, and she knew he was really happy when she saw him getting carried away.

"Isn't that right? I'm so happy. This thing can be accomplished thanks to my sister-in-law. When we get married, I will definitely invite my sister-in-law to sit at the table."

"Okay, let's make a couple together. Sister-in-law, haven't you accumulated new merits... By the way, I think your legs seem to be bandaged. What's going on?"

"It's okay, just wiped it off."

Li Muyang stood up, said goodbye, and left Xue's house.

According to etiquette rules, no matter what the outcome of the blind date is, you must tell the matchmaker.

He just stopped by to talk.

When he walked out of the door, he met several neighbors on the road, and they all took the initiative to say hello, and everyone responded warmly to him.

When he reached a corner, by chance, he met Matchmaker Hu again.

In the past, he would have been too lazy to pay attention, but today he was in a good mood, so he still said hello politely.

"Uncle Shepherd, you found money on the road and you can't even close your mouth with a smile?"

"You can say that, but I'm happier than finding money."

Matchmaker Hu didn't know why Li Muyang was so happy, and said: "Last time I introduced my sister-in-law to you, the conditions were really good. Look, wouldn't it be much easier for you to just take care of two children?"

"It sounds like it, but I still prefer giving birth on my own."

Li Muyang smiled and passed by.

"Why don't you have such high conditions? How can you find a decent girl like you? My sister-in-law is very good."

"I can't afford such a good sister-in-law. You'd better find her a better one."

After Li Muyang finished speaking, he walked away without saying anything more.

Like a gust of wind.

"De Xing, I also picked you. I want to see what kind of person you can find. After passing this village, there is no such store."

"tui."

She even spat at Li Muyang's back.

Li Muyang also knew this woman's virtue and was too lazy to argue with her.

If you argue with this kind of person, it will definitely not end well.

What they are best at is stirring up trouble everywhere, and who can say anything about matchmakers?

He walked to the back, picked up the hidden bicycle from the wall trench, and rode all the way directly to his second brother's house.

After the second brother and second sister-in-law asked earnestly, he told him about the blind date on the street. Naturally, his brother and sister-in-law were very happy for him.

Frankly speaking, I didn't lend him his bicycle in vain.

While they were talking, several children came home from school and listened for a long time. They all asked Li Muyang to buy them delicious food.

Li Muyang was in the mood, so he promised to give everyone a small red envelope and let them buy snacks.

The children were then satisfied and ran back to their houses.

"Shepherd, the children are ignorant, so you still let them have their way?"

The second sister-in-law smiled.

"It doesn't matter. If it can really happen, wouldn't it be a happy thing? The little guys are also happy for me."

"As you like."

Things are trivial, and of course it’s important to stick to the point.

Li Mudi was smoking nearby when he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Lao Wu, didn't we meet someone in the mountains yesterday? Can we still go to the mountains tomorrow?"

Li Muyang was so immersed in joy that he really forgot about this matter.

Hearing this, he put away his smile and sat down on the stool.

"I originally thought that I could continue to eat alone for a while, but it seems that I can't. Now that they have discovered it, I guess they will go digging in the mountains tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"I think so. That bad guy Li Jianshe is close to Li Li. With such a good thing going on, it would be strange if he couldn't rush to the front."

Zhao Yali said regretfully from the side: "It's a pity that after they discovered it, we missed a good opportunity to make money. It's our fault. Muyang told us earlier that we didn't take any action at that time."

"That's true. I didn't know how to make money at the beginning."

Li Mudi was quite sorry.

He thought that if he had known how profitable it was to poach this guy from the beginning, he would have taken his motorcycle home long ago.

Li Muyang thought for a while and said, "Actually, the problem is not that serious yet. Although we will not dig as much as before, there is still hope of making money."

"Oh, what a way to make money, they will dig up all the cordyceps by then, surely they won't wait for us to dig them up, right?"

"That's for sure, but we also need to be flexible."

"What a workaround? Hurry up and tell me."

Li Mudi was very anxious.

He has discovered that his fifth brother, for some reason, has been acting like an old man recently, talking in a long and verbose manner, unable to say anything for a long time.

It's better to just be my brother.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, this is what I think. Let me tell you first. You guys can take a look, okay?"

"Okay, Shepherd, please tell me."

“I remember that day I heard that Li Jianshe was discussing with the out-of-town boss about finding someone, and I thought, digging Cordyceps is not a simple matter.

You see, with so many of us, we can only dig two taels a day, so if they want to dig out the cordyceps before they completely grow old, they will definitely need more people, right? "

"Yes, that's right. If you want to dig out more, you will definitely need more people." Li Mudi nodded.

"Then tell me, second brother, where did they find so many people?"

Li Muyang smiled mysteriously.
