Flowers are expensive

Chapter 40 After Slapping Liang Bai Twice

"Do you believe what he said?"

"Well. What about you? Are you still clamoring to leave? Looking at the battle last night, if Ma Liu and Haitang hadn't persuaded him, Liang Bai's hand would probably have been broken! Xie Manting cared so much about you, you left, Can he not feel sad? I'm afraid that the whole village will laugh at him for his incompetence, and run away from his wife!"

"Oh, sister Hongling, are you here to be a lobbyist for Xie Manting?"

"Haitang asked me to persuade you, and I really want to persuade you. Xie Manting is a good person, and he will not treat you badly. If you go out again, can you handle the world outside? You beat someone last night and Xie Manting was there to protect you." But you leave here later, alone, who will protect you? Then you should cry and think about Xie Manting."

What he said made Lihua feel warm in her heart.She suddenly thought of Liang Bai, and asked, "Where's Huang Ying? Liang Bai didn't do anything to her, did he?"

"I didn't see him early in the morning, maybe he went to the field. He is really cruel, so he drove Huang Ying out like this. How did Huang Ying suffer from such idleness before? She cried all night last night!"

"Where's Huang Yingren?" Hong Ling was about to answer, when Gong suddenly came to knock on the door and said, "Lihua, Hong Ling, come out quickly!" Hong Ling hurriedly stood up and opened the door, asking, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Gong's face was as flustered as when Mrs. Gao came last time. She pointed outside and said, "This time it's Mrs. Ding who's here! She's blocking Huang Ying and yelling in the kitchen! She even said that she wanted to find Lihua to punish her son." !"

"What?" Hong Ling's face changed suddenly, and she said anxiously, "Is this the end? My mother-in-law is here to make trouble, so it will be Huang Ying's mother-in-law's turn. Next time, it will be Lihua's mother-in-law's turn?"

"Go out and have a look!" Lihua put down the porridge bowl in her hand, and ran to the front yard with Gongshi Hongling.

I saw that Mrs. Ding was banging on the door of the kitchen, yelling loudly: "Damn fox! Thief hooves! Come out! What kind of thing is hiding inside? Let me tell you, you can hide past the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day! You'd better Get out of here now!"

"Ms. Ding!" Duan Qigu persuaded from the side, "Speak up if you have something to say! Don't slam the door and curse..." "Qigu, we are all old folks, old sisters!" He said angrily, "If your family married such a bad daughter-in-law, would you feel at ease? I won't tell you any more, so as not to hurt our peace, I will find this coquettish fox and that Qin Qin today. Pear Blossom settles the score!"

"I'm here," Li Hua replied, standing on the stone steps diagonally across from Aunt Ding, "what kind of debt is this aunt going to settle with me? Could it be that I gave your son those two slaps last night?"

Aunt Ding turned her head when she heard the sound, staring at Lihua with sparkling eyes, looked up and down at Lihua, rushed to Lihua in three or two steps, and was about to slap her in the face.How could Lihua let her piss her off, she quickly took two steps back, and avoided saying: "This is because my son can't beat it, so why don't you go home and ask my old lady to help? Liang Bai is in his twenties? Why is he not weaned?" Is it the same as your child?"

"Damn melon woman!" Aunt Ding rushed forward, took two steps forward and slapped her again.It's a pity that Lihua flashed like a little mink, which made her miss again.She was so angry that her fingers were shaking, she pointed at Lihua and cursed, "Don't hide if you have the guts!"

"Why don't I hide?" Lihua grimaced at her and said with a smile, "I'm not stupid, so why don't I just stand there and practice for you?"

"If you hide from me, can't I hit you? Even if I chase you to Haiziqiao today, I will vent my anger on my son's behalf!" When Aunt Ding wanted to rush up again, Cao Shi and Ma Liu hurried away. Arrived.

Mrs. Cao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Aunt Ding and said, "Mother, what's the matter with you today? What are you doing here?"

Aunt Ding patted the back of her hands, and said to Cao Shi with righteous indignation: "Mei Zhi! Are there any rules in your village? Is my Liang Bai beat up by that kind of person? Bullying us Liang Bai is good." Are you short-tempered? Tell me, if someone beats you in Haitang, can you swallow it?" Mrs. Cao turned her head and glanced at Lihua next to her, and said, "Did you see it? Did you cause trouble? You got beaten up last night. Happy, how should I explain to Aunt Ding today?"

"Don't give me an explanation, I'm not leaving today!" Aunt Ding patted the square stool next to her and said emotionally, "It's considered polite for me to come alone. If you want to follow my man's temper, you should bring him along." My relatives tied up these two little rascals and beat them up!"

Seeing this situation, Ma Liu was also annoyed.A few days ago, my mother-in-law came to make a fuss, and today Aunt Ding came again, and there was no end to it!He glanced at Lihua impatiently and said: "Qin Lihua, just say something, what are you doing there? How about I call Manting back for you, and beat Aunt Ding as I did last night What happened? I always tell the three of you that you think too much about things, but you don’t want to listen! Tell me, what should you do? Why don’t you apologize to Mrs. Ding and Liang Bai?”

Before Lihua could answer, Aunt Ding turned her old face and said, "Just apologize! I don't listen to those sweet words!"

Mrs. Cao hurriedly smiled and asked, "What do you think, auntie? We are all from the same village. People in a village can't see each other without looking up! Lihua is Aunt Xie's daughter-in-law..."

"Stop it, stop it!" Mrs. Ding waved her hands hurriedly and said to Mrs. Cao, "Ms. Xie has never recognized this daughter-in-law! I went to her place to say hello before I came today. Guess what she said?"

"How do you say it?" Cao asked.

"She said that if you kill her, you can't enter her family's grave, and don't even try to touch her! She has never recognized this daughter-in-law at all, and told me to do whatever I want. If the whole court dares to stop me, she will turn around. Clean up the house and go!"

"Oh," Cao said with a chuckle and glanced at Lihua, "what can I do, Qin Lihua? Your mother-in-law doesn't help you, why don't you really call Manting back to support you? But , if he touches Aunt Ding, I'm afraid that Aunt Xie won't follow him, and the mother and child will not get along, so you can stand it?"

Duan Qigu and the others in Hongling looked at Lihua nervously, but Lihua listened to their left and right sentences slowly, without any panic in her heart.She folded her hands and leaned against the large pillar on the top beam, tilted her head and asked Ma Liu with a smile: "Steward Ma, you don't want to take care of it, do you?"

Ma Liudao: "This is your own trouble. What kind of business do I care about? Hurry up and come up with the charter, so that Mrs. Ding won't waste her voice here!"

"If you don't care, then don't do your job as a manager, go home and take your Ma Xianger home!"

"Qin Lihua, what are you talking about?" Ma Liu's face suddenly changed.Hongling next to her was secretly anxious, thinking, Lihua, what are you competing with Ma Liu at this time?It's time to get rid of Mrs. Ding first!
"Am I not right?" Li Hua pointed to Aunt Ding and said to Ma Liu, "Just now when this aunt saw you, she asked if there are any rules in this village? What are the rules? Did the master set the rules earlier, saying that if the boy he bought with real money is bullied in the village, he can call his family to make trouble? Or is this rule just you? Ma Liuding!"

"I never made such a rule!"

"Then I'm surprised!" Li Hua said with a cold face, "A few days ago your mother-in-law came to make trouble because of your sister-in-law's anger, and today Liang Bai's mother-in-law came to make trouble again because of Liang Bai's anger." Out of breath. Master, what has become of this Zhuangzi? The idlers come here whenever they want, and make trouble when they want to? The master is also the well-known Guozijian Jijiu Master in Bianjing City. Well organized. If you let him know that the farm in his hometown is as messy as a stage, can you, Ma Liu, still be in charge?"

Mrs. Cao interrupted abruptly and said, "Hey, it sounds like you plan to go to Bianjing City to file a complaint? Go! I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the way out of the mountain!"

"Why should I go to Bianjing City in person? Wait for Steward Wang to send someone... Oh, that's right!" Lihua clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile, "I remember before coming here, I heard Steward Wang say that Mrs. Wang's health has not been as good in the past two years. In the past, I plan to go back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors' graves while my body is still moving, maybe I will come back today!"

"Ewha is right!" Hong Ling hurriedly took over the words, "Master and Madam have plans to return to Zhuangzi. Besides, I heard from Eldest Young Master that even if Master and Madam don't come back, he will come back for a while. The eldest young master is a very decent person, and he hates those servants who take their wages and don't work the most. Whenever they meet them, they will drive them away mercilessly and resign. I'm afraid the young master won't tolerate it!"

Ma Liu's face suddenly changed, and he pointed to Hongling and Lihua and said, "Hey! You two girls are still scaring me? Do you know the rules of the village better than me?"

Lihua said: "You are in charge, and the person who manages the farm knows better than me, a newcomer. But I do understand the same thing. This farm belongs to the master. You manage the farm like a vegetable market. The people in the village Mothers-in-law and aunts come here to scold the world, father and mother when things go wrong, what will I do with the prestige and face of the master? If I were the master, what's the use of keeping you in charge? It's better to go home and take the children!"

"These words..." Mrs. Cao was so angry that her face turned blue, pointing to Lihua, she said, "You can wait for the master or the young master to come back to say these words! What are you, it's too late for the master to send you, how can you listen to me?" Your words?"

Li Hua nodded and said: "That's right, the master wanted to get rid of the three of us, and he wanted to get rid of the three of us in a dignified way, so as not to let the censors see the clue and take off his official hat. Such an important prestige project is entrusted to you Ma Liu, but how do you Ma Liu do things? Today a woman will scold us as sisters, and tomorrow a woman will scold us. The reputation of the three of us in the mountain area is even louder than that of the purple magpie mountain god. As soon as the master came back, he heard these gossips immediately. Do you think you, a fat job like Ma Liu, can continue to do things? Even if you don’t blame you on the surface , I’m afraid I’ll find another excuse to replace your useless steward after you leave!”

"Well said!" Huang Ying suddenly stood at the door of the kitchen and clapped her hands.When she heard Lihua's voice, she opened the door and went out to watch the excitement.Ma Liu glanced at Huang Ying with a pale face, and was at a loss for words.

Aunt Ding turned around and saw Huang Ying, and rushed forward to beat and scold her again.Ma Liu drank her and said: "Ms. Ding, can you calm down? This is not your own small yard. Do you understand the rules?" Aunt Ding was unhappy, and asked Ma Liu: "Give this Qin Lihua You were bluffed after saying a few words? Ma Liu, how do you manage this job?"

Lihua smiled and said to Aunt Ding: "Ma'am, even if you fan the flames, it's best to let Ma Liu sink the three of us into Yantang! Anyway, the master can't remove the management from you, and you have nothing to lose! Maybe Ma Liuyi has withdrawn from the steward, and you are still laughing at home, wondering if there is any chance for your son Liang Bai to be the steward, right?"

"You..." Aunt Ding's eyes widened, but she just couldn't say a word!

"Let me ask you one more question, how do you know that I hit your son? Are you clairvoyant or ear-catching?"

"My son came back early in the morning and told me!"

"It's strange, there really are no rules at all in this village, Ma Liu," Li Hua simply didn't address the steward, and called Ma Liu by his first name, "You guys are close to home, so you can go back whenever you like. When you go back, can you control it? You can be free! Then why sell yourself to the farmer? What does the master spend money to buy them for? It’s better to hire labor to save money! I saw the master or the young master later, I will definitely tell them!"
