Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Zhu's incident was a big shock to Dading Village, but it almost dissipated within a few days.

Most of the people discussed were mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, but few men were seen.

The main thing is that it is now the beginning of May, all the food that needs to be planted has been planted, and the busy farming days are over. Almost all the strong men have gone to the town to find work to support their families.

Although the conditions in Dading Village are much better than those in other villages, there are still few people who eat meat all day long, and most of their clothes are patched.

But as long as you work hard, you will never die of hunger.

Thanks to the several rivers in Changhe Town, the three families of Zhang, Lu and Xu also do business, and there are also scattered small merchant ships, and there are often goods to be unloaded. This coolie can earn a hundred yuan a day.

The days became dull.

Two or three days later, Meng Tan went to Changhe Town to pick up his custom-made Taoist robe and wooden hairpin, and heard some news from the proprietress of the clothing store.

"Sister, you better not come to town these days."

Meng Tan's face was full of doubts.

The landlady reminded me kindly, "You don't know. The county government revealed the news two days ago that they are setting up a women's academy and hiring people to teach women's skills."

Meng Tan raised his eyebrows, isn't this a good thing?

"Hey, I also heard people say that it's not about teaching women skills, but teaching that kind of thing...and then sell them to other counties. I see that your two daughters are pretty good-looking. What if one day someone Taken captive?"

Speaking of this, the landlady looked frightened, and her voice was so low that only two people could hear her clearly if they were face to face.

"In the past two days, a lot of young girls and young wives have disappeared on this street. Some people have guessed that it was... done. Tell me, why are the lives of us people so miserable?"

The landlady pointed in the direction of the county government office with a sad look on her face.

Meng Tan digested it for a moment and realized that Cui Ping was a bit unruly and a bit like a good person, but judging from his appearance, he didn't bear any karmic debt, which meant that he was not a treacherous person.

Meng Tan patted Baozhu on the shoulder.

[Ask the landlady, where did this news come from? ]

"Auntie, where did you hear this? It's so scary."

Baozhu's voice was soft, and such a sound made the landlady's heart soften for a moment.

"Sister, look at how pretty your daughter is. It's okay to be careful. The boss lady next door told me that she has a boy working as a clerk in the county government."

Meng Tan blinked, was Cui Ping's house stolen?

There is a traitor among my men.

After getting the news he wanted to know, Meng Tan smiled at the proprietress, took out two taels of silver, paid the balance, and returned to Dading Village with his things.

She wanted to remind Cui Ping, but judging from the man's face, other than being splashed with feces, there was no danger.

He might know more things than she does. That person is full of tricks and schemes, and he is definitely more scheming than she is.

Her house was repaired for seven or eight days in a row. Although it still had earthen walls, the surface was smoothed away.

The straw on the roof was all replaced with tiles, and there were still 500 tiles left. The money for repairs was a little over, but Chen Chang used the thirty liang given by his mother to make up for it.

The left and right are just patched up on the plain paper taped to the window.

The house was left to dry for two days. Once we moved in, although it was still not as bright as a large blue brick house, it was pretty good.

Meng Tan rolled around on his bed twice and looked at the dark roof with satisfaction.

The sleeping area has been renovated after all. Keep up the good work, Goddess Meng.

"Her aunt, are you at home?"

Suddenly, someone shouted outside Chen's yard.

It still looked familiar. Meng Tan got up and walked outside the room, where she saw Tian Yunxiang being led in by Mrs. Fang.

Meng Tan blinked, a little confused.

Not many people have come to her to tell their fortunes recently. It’s the leisure time now, and even if there are men and women of the right age at home, they are all in the stage of looking at each other. They only seek fortune telling when they tell their horoscopes and see if the person they are marrying is inhumane. to her.

"Mom, Aunt Fang is here to deliver invitations. His Tao Hua's wedding date has been decided."

Oh ~ Is it the one where the old man removes the ashes?

Meng Tan looked at Mrs. Fang up and down, and waved to Tian Yunxiang, telling her to get busy.

I have to say that Mrs. Fang is quite courageous.

Knowing this situation, he actually dared to marry his daughter.

As soon as Mrs. Fang sat down, she gave Meng Tan a red envelope, took Meng Tan's hand and said, "Her aunt, your calculations are really accurate. You don't know. I heard it from you that day. I'll tell you when I get back." I asked some experts and it turned out to be true. My heart went cold and I wanted to regret the engagement on the spot."

"Daniu knelt down and begged me, telling me that as soon as we got married, we would separate the family. I didn't let go. Oh my god, who would have thought that when Daniel came back, he would make a fuss about dividing the family. It is said that he and his father had a knife. , Damn it, the Wang family didn’t give a single chopstick to Daniel. When he found me, he wanted to break off the engagement, saying that he had nothing left and didn’t want to delay his love affair.”

"I thought about it. Who knew that kid Taohua was eavesdropping and ran out to beg me? Then I thought of your words and thought about giving the young couple a little more dowry so that they could go live somewhere else. That kid said After I agreed, I decided not to do anything at Wang's house anymore. I treated him as my son-in-law, so I just did things at home. I even moved the wedding date forward, but I still feel uneasy. What are you going to do?"

"Also, on the day this young couple is doing business, I would like to ask you to honor them."

Meng Tan raised her eyebrows. This man with a promising future sounds good.

Holding the red envelope, Meng Tan stared at Mrs. Fang's face carefully. If something happened, it would only happen on the wedding day, and it would be reflected directly on Mrs. Fang's face.

This is incredible.

Meng Tan tilted her head to look at Bao Zhuoyue and gestured.

[Tell Aunt Fang that if something happens, the Wang family may come to make trouble that day. They will probably use his family's issue of Wang Daniu as their son-in-law to try to blackmail Aunt Fang's family. ]

The two sisters twitched their lips, this was too tragic, and they looked at Mrs. Fang together.

Baozhu endured it and asked first, "Aunt Fang, is Sister Taohua's marriage a must?"

It's so sinful. What kind of family is the Wang family? Aunt Fang is too embarrassed to have such a relative.

Mrs. Fang's face fell. She felt bad as soon as Baozhu said these words. She covered her heart and asked tremblingly: "Just talk."

Baoyue said quietly: "My mother said that on the day of Sister Taohua's wedding, the Wang family might come to make trouble, thinking that your future son-in-law came to visit and wanted to extort money from your family."

"How dare he!" Mrs. Fang slapped her thigh and raised her eyebrows, "If it's just this, I'll clean up their house if they dare to come. Their family has cheated on my family once. If they dare to come, I'll make sure they never come back!" "

"I've seen his family pick up ashes before, and why are you afraid of coming to their house to cause trouble? If you dare to come, I'll kill them for it!"

Mrs. Fang spat.

Meng Tan stared blankly and gave a thumbs up. (End of chapter)
