Flowers are expensive

Chapter 98 Who Are They?
Aunt Xie hastily stretched out her hand and tugged at Jin Ling'er, then stopped the conversation and said, "Mother, isn't two hours too long? Jin Ling'er's body is weak, so I'm afraid she won't be able to hold it back? It's going to be bad if she gets sick! "

"I'll treat the whole illness, what are you worried about? Is it useful to kneel for half an hour? Can she have a long memory? My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she can hit her with a wooden basin. Have you ever thought that she still has a lump in her stomach? Fate? If she refuses to accept it, she can just pack up and go back to her mother, it's not like Man Sheng can't find a wife!"

Jin Ling'er seemed to be struck by five thunders, she swayed back, her complexion paled a lot.Aunt Xie hurriedly supported her and asked, "What's the matter? Your face is so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm dizzy..." Jin Ling'er took the opportunity to pretend to be dizzy.

"Dizzy?" Mrs. Xie hurriedly said to Guan, "Mother, look at her complexion, it's better not to punish her, and let her pay the second daughter-in-law later."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie believed it, Jin Ling'er softened her body and fell over to Mrs. Xie's side, looking like a sick Xi Shi.Seeing this, Mrs. Guan snorted, bent down and groped under the square table in front of her a few times, then threw the things in her hand to Jin Ling'er's feet, and said, "Tell it to wake you up!"

Lihua was curious about what it was throwing out, but after taking a closer look, she was scared out of her wits!She ran up to Guan's bed in two or three steps, hugged the head of the bed and screamed: "Snake! Snake! Help! There is a snake!"

At this time, Jin Ling'er also noticed that a little green snake was swimming around like a tadpole at her feet!She was so frightened that her complexion turned purple in an instant, she pushed Aunt Xie away, jumped onto the desk in front of Mrs. Guan, stomped her feet and shouted, "There is a snake! There is a snake! Kill it quickly! Kill it! Mother!" , beat it to death!"

Aunt Xie was not that panicked, she just took two steps back and said to Guan Shi: "Mother, you can take it back. These two children will be frightened when they first enter the door!"

Guan looked up at the flustered Jin Ling'er on the table and asked, "Didn't you faint just now? Is your son still faint now?" After she finished speaking, she got up and bent down, and picked up the little green snake and stuffed it into it nimbly. In the bamboo basket under the table, it seems that there is more than Xiaoqing and a snake in it!
Lihua is most afraid of soft vertebrates, and her scalp tingles when she sees them, let alone snakes.She burst into tears with fright.I used to hear that people in the mountains are good at raising snakes to get poison, but I didn't expect that my ancestral grandmother turned out to be a master of snake raising.She felt creepy just thinking about it, she hugged the head of the bed and didn't let go!
Jin Ling'er was also quite frightened, although she was from the mountains, she didn't see many snakes, only once or twice, how could she have thought that Mrs. Guan kept snakes at home?But looking at Aunt Xie's reaction, it seems that everyone in the family knows about it.

Lihua suddenly understood why the family members don't like to come here except Moxiang, maybe this is the reason?Mommy, it's too scary!In the future, I will not come to be killed!
"What's the matter? You're all so scared that you lose your face?" Guan asked with a breezy smile on his face.

Jin Ling'er trembled and was helped off the table by Aunt Xie, this time her legs and feet were so frightened that she couldn't stand anymore.Aunt Xie hurriedly stroked her back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, grandma's snake is very obedient and won't bite people randomly."

Lihua almost vomited, and it's not a pet dog, no matter how well-behaved it is, it's still a snake!Goosebumps popped up all over her body again, and she finally mustered up the courage to get out of bed, and said with a trembling smile: "Then... that... I, I... I won't bother you... I, I, I... I will go out first Already!"

Seeing her like that, Guan laughed heartily and said, "Don't be so afraid. In fact, snakes are not as scary as you imagined. It's just that its body is warmer, and it doesn't just bite when it sees people. It's mild-tempered. Easy to get along with."

"Easy to get along with?" Lihua really wanted to give this grandma a thumbs up, but now her legs and feet are weak.

"That's right, Mo Xiang is not afraid of a girl, and you don't have to be afraid either."

Lihua can only mourn silently in her heart, Xie Moxiang, you really are a real person without showing your face!Snakes are not afraid, as expected of grandma's great-granddaughter!But she still asked with a crying face: "I...can I go out? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. "

"Okay, let's all go out!" Guan's smile disappeared when he turned his gaze to Jin Ling'er, "Are you still dizzy? Do you want Qingsan (the little snake's name) to dance for you again?" Jin Ling Xie'er firmly grabbed Mrs. Xie's arm and shook her head, "No, no, no! I don't want to see that horrible thing again!"

"Then go out and kneel!" Guan said bluntly.

Lihua ran away immediately, almost tripping over the threshold.As soon as she got out of Guan's house, she saw all the Xie family members in the courtyard looking at her and Jin Ling'er and laughing, it seemed that the exclamation of the two just now was no surprise to them.She really wanted to curse at the pervert, but she was her family after all, so she endured it and ran up to the attic, closed the door, and swished onto the bed.

Mo Xiang followed her up to the attic, and seeing her shivering in the quilt, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What a bad girl! Who helped you out of the siege just now? Now my son is patronizing and laughing? Why didn't you tell me there was a snake in grandma's house earlier!" Mo Xiang smiled and said, "You didn't ask I didn't say it! Besides, I thought fourth uncle told you."

"It's fine, what are you doing with a snake? Taking poison?"

"Grandma said that snake gallbladder is a good medicine, so I kept some."

"Have you raised some? My mother, how many have you raised?" Lihua's goose bumps popped up for the third time.

"A total of ten or so pieces, not too big, green bamboo signs and the like..."

"Stop stop! Stop talking, I want to vomit, I really want to vomit!"

"It's not that scary, you won't be afraid after you get used to playing with them."

"Play?" Li Hua looked at Mo Xiang like an alien and said, "Do you often play with them?"

"I have to help grandma feed them!"

"Hehehe..." Lihua laughed twice, "Stop talking, I don't want to know what they like to eat or what their hobbies are, as long as they don't eat people. Don't tell me, you still have Catching a snake!"

"Who brought that thing? It's so cold that it doesn't feel comfortable at all. If Fourth Aunt wants to play with it, I'll grab one for you right now?" Mo Xiang said with a smirk. "Try it, I will throw you and the snake downstairs!"

"Hahaha... Fourth Aunt was afraid of snakes!" Mo Xiang clapped her hands and laughed.

"It's strange not to be afraid of snakes! Woooooo...I want to go back to the village! I want to go back to the village!"

"Hahaha……"

The two discussed the snake for a while before going to bed.When the night was quiet, Lihua couldn't fall asleep.Although Mo Xiang next to her had already fallen asleep, she didn't feel sleepy at all. I don't know if she was thinking about it or was scared by the snake.

After tossing and turning for a while, she got out of bed with her clothes on, and gently opened the window.Tonight is the first quarter of the moon, the moonlight is clear and silver, like a waterfall from the roof of the attic.

The moment she opened the window, she saw a man standing on the dirt road outside the courtyard. He looked like a man, about the height of Manting, and was looking towards Xie's courtyard.She hesitated for a moment, thinking that her eyes were dazzled, and when she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes to look again, the figure was gone!

"No way? Have you met a ghost? It's not even July and a half yet!" Lihua looked again and again, but there was nothing but moonlight and tree shadows.She yawned, wondering if she missed Xie Manting so much and was blinded by it?That's all, go to sleep, so as not to really see the hell with your left eye!
Lihua closed the window and went back to bed to sleep.Outside the window at this time, the figure appeared again.Just like before, he looked at Xie's small courtyard with deep eyes, as if he was looking for some memories.

"Why don't you go in?" Suddenly there was a shorter figure beside him.

"Why do you want to go in? I didn't plan to go in, I just... just wanted to take a look."

"You've been watching it for a long time. You've been watching it since the shrew cried just now. Aren't you afraid that they will find you?"

"They may... they may have forgotten me a long time ago, after all, I was still very young when I left..."

"How small?" He withdrew his staring gaze, looked down at the little girl beside him and smiled, "You have too many questions, I'm really not in the mood to answer you right now, I'll talk to you when I have free time."

"Brother, should you leave some silver at the door?" The little girl asked with a smile.

"why?"

"Isn't that what is said in the scriptures? To the benefactors who raised you, it is inconvenient to show up to repay them, so just leave money for them at the door, and it will be your wish fulfilled."

"I don't want to do that."

"Why? I don't have enough silver on me? Or is there nowhere to change the banknotes here?" He couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and lovingly reached out and touched the little girl's head and said, "Not enough silver, brother still has precious stones. But my brother is unwilling to repay his benefactor like this, because some kindness cannot be offset by money."

"Then how do you plan to repay?"

"Let's talk about it later, let's go, there are important things to do tomorrow!" He stared at Xie's small courtyard again, took the little girl's hand and disappeared into the night.The Xie family didn't know that he had been here, and he didn't want the Xie family to know that he was still alive...

That night, Jin Ling'er was really punished to kneel for two hours.In the morning of the second day, no one saw her go out of the room, and it was estimated that her legs and feet would not be agile in the past two days.Zhuang was so unhappy that he finally let out a bad breath.

In the afternoon, Matchmaker Wu really came, and formally told Guan and the others about the Tian family's marriage proposal, and then took Mo Xiang's geng post to match the horoscope.Afraid of a mistake, Mrs. Zhen specially stuffed more than a dozen copper coins to Matchmaker Wu.

Matchmaker Wu took Moxiang and Tian Yisheng's gengtie and then went to Haizi Temple.There was no one in the temple, only Mrs. Cao was seen kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, holding three sticks of incense, and she didn't know what she was reciting.She didn't bother Mrs. Cao, but went straight to Miao Zhu.

Miao Zhu took the Geng post, glanced at it casually, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Matchmaker Wu was used to his smile, so she patted the hot sweat off her face with a handkerchief and said, "You just need to be gentle this time, and the Xie family is not rich."

"You're getting less and less courageous," Miao Zhu threw Geng Tie aside and said with a smile, "Looking at the appearance of Tian Yisheng and Xie Moxiang on the bridge that day, they must be a pair that is not easy to take apart. My family is willing to get married, so why don't I take the opportunity to make a fortune? I don't want to make a lot of money. I just say that the two of them don't match each other, and they hit each other. Maybe they won't have children in the future, and ask the two families to come up with something to resolve it. Resolve, isn't this too greedy?"

Matchmaker Wu shook her head and said, "Aren't you considered greedy? In my opinion, let's say they have a bloodbath this year. They asked each family to prepare two roosters and a six-foot red cloth. According to what you said, you can designate another You have to do something or make a bridge. Is there nothing that can stop your mouth? I don't want to offend the Xie family again. You don't know how difficult it is for those girls of the Xie family. Anyway, this time you Listen to me, yes!"

"Is it because you frightened the Xie family last time?"

"Don't worry about whether I'm frightened or not, the Xie family's matter is up to me! You can't get the big head from the Xie's house, so let's go to the Jin's house, isn't it the same?"

"How do you say that?" Miao Zhu immediately became interested.
