Chapter 70

The few people lived leisurely in the villa every day, eating the vegetables grown in the backyard, the game that Xiao Hui hunted in the mountains, and the dry crucian carp and mountain products sent by Ding Xiaochen.When I have free time, I go to the pond to look at the lotus, or paddle a boat to pick some mature lotus pods in the lotus pond, or go fishing and touch shrimp by the lake, and occasionally go to the nearby field ridges to pick some wild vegetables. Don't mention how moist the days are.

When Xie Qingxue was pregnant, she had severe convulsions, and she recovered when she came to the villa. Xie Qingxue also ate a little more, and after staying for half a month, her body finally recovered.

Meng's original idea was to take Xie Rui out to relax, so as to forget about the bad things in the mansion. When she first came, she might still be thinking about the things in the mansion, but after staying for a few days, Meng really fell in love with this place , She only stayed for half a month, and she didn't want to go back. Xie Rui also had fun all day long, and didn't want his father anymore.

Mrs. Meng was holding the child and sitting with everyone under the osmanthus tree in the yard. Xu Xiaofu had already brought out the freshly made osmanthus cake and soup with white fungus, lotus seeds and red dates from the kitchen. He smiled and said to Mrs. Meng and Xie Qingxue, "Try it quickly." Look, it's fresh out of the oven."

Xie Qingxue picked up a piece with a smile, took another mouthful for Xie Qi, then took a bite, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law makes the best food."

Meng Shi also nodded, and Xie Rui's little cheeks in his arms swelled up, and he nodded together, "The things made by my aunt are the best, Rui'er likes to eat them."

Xie Qi's little bun raised his chest proudly, "My mother is the best."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

In the evening Xu Xiaofu went to the pond to get a few lotus leaves, killed a few native chickens, cleaned them up, smeared them with salt and other condiments, and finally wrapped them in lotus leaves and covered them with a thick layer of yellow soil. Only then did he put it on the fire and roast it.

Everyone was very excited around the fire, and they didn't think it was too hot.Xie Qingxue looked at the big lump of yellow mud curiously, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you eating?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "This is beggar's chicken. It tastes good. It can be wrapped in lotus leaves and there will be a faint fragrance after roasting. You will know later." Xu Xiaofu brought Ding Xiaochen over again in the evening Wild mushrooms and the like are boiled into a pot of fresh soup.There are fresh ingredients inside, but with a little salt and ointment, the taste is already very delicious.For dinner, roast chicken was served with delicious mushroom soup, and everyone ate happily.

In the next half month, Xie Qi and Xie Rui also made many friends from the village. These children were brought by the workers hired by the villa when they came to do farm work.In Zhuangzi, no one worried about their safety at all.

Xiao Hui occasionally wandered around the mountains, and followed Xie Qi and Xie Rui every day in the second half of the month. At the beginning, everyone was quite afraid of Xiao Hui, and the farmers who worked in the fields were worried. Looking at Xiao Hui lying under the big tree not far away, Xiao Hui occasionally raised his head to look at Xie Qi and Xie Rui, and found that they were having a good time, so he continued to lie down under the big tree and take a nap comfortably.

The children who played with Xie Qi and Xie Rui were all about the same age as them. They all thought that Xiao Hui was a big dog, so they were not afraid at all. Some children even ran to grab Xiao Hui's tail and stroke Xiao Hui's fur.The parents of these children saw their children touching Xiaohui at first, and they were terrified, but they didn't dare to scream, fearing that the wolf would hurt their children.In the end, it was discovered that the wolf did not attack people, and let his children play with the two young masters and wolf cubs.

Xie Qingxue, Meng Shi, Xu Xiaofu, He Hua sat under a big tree and looked at Xie Qi and Xie Rui who were playing with several boys not far away, and looked at Xie Qi staggering behind everyone with short legs While running, several happy people laughed heartily.

Xie Qingxue took another look at Xiao Hui lying under the big tree, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you Xiao Hui are really well-behaved. I have never seen a wolf with such a docile personality, even a child can touch it."

Meng Shi also nodded, "At first I was worried that Xiao Hui would hurt the children, but now it looks like it won't."

Xu Xiaofu took a look at Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui was looking towards a place at the moment, there were several fruit trees, Xiao Hui grinned at it for a few times, then turned back and lay down on the ground.Xu Xiaofu knew that the place Xiao Hui looked at just now should be the hidden guard Cao Zhan found for Xie Qingxue.It's strange to say that Xiao Hui is very docile to ordinary people who have no force value, but when it comes to warriors, he will instinctively reveal a wolfish nature and defensiveness.

The farmers in the villa knew Xiao Hui's temperament after getting along with Xiao Hui for a while, so they were not afraid that their dolls would play with Xiao Hui, and they began to let their dolls go.Moreover, these two young masters are good people, and they would bring some delicious pastries to eat for their dolls on weekdays.The dolls are very sorry for their parents, and they will carefully wrap up the delicious food from the two young masters and give it to the family to try something new later.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has been staying in the villa for a month, during which Xie Duanyu came to see Xu Xiaofu, and he was relieved to see that they were happy living here.

Although Xu Xiaofu rented out the fields and orchards to nearby villagers, the rent she asked for was not much, and the helpers could still have some surplus every month.Xu Xiaofu's restaurant needed vegetables and poultry, so the vegetable field and the breeding factory hired people to take care of the planting, and they were paid a lot of money every month.Ding Xiaochen gave the vegetable field and poultry farming to two families in his village who are good at growing vegetables and raising poultry. These two families are very diligent and honest, and they give these two families a full five taels of silver every month.

After living here for a month, the weather has reached the hottest month, and several people plan to stay for another month before going back. After all, they can't make this place their home.

Let's say that there is a family in Dingzhuang Village that is turning upside down. They are Ding Maofa and Sun's family. These two are Ding Xiaochen's uncle and aunt, and they have a ten-year-old son.The two people originally had an acre of land in their family, but later they robbed the house and an acre of land left by Ding Xiaochen's parents, and finally they sold the acre of land in their own family, whoever took Ding Xiaochen away directly Fortunately, he became the steward of the villa, and finally took back his house and fields.Who would have thought that Ding Maofa would become addicted to drugs at this time, and lose all the money he got from selling the acre of land in his family, and in the end he was so jealous that he sold everything that could be sold in the family and lost it all. There is only an empty shell left in the house.

Mrs. Sun found out about this today, and was fighting desperately with Ding Maofa at home.

Ding Maofa was originally a person who was afraid of his daughter-in-law, but since he became addicted to gambling, he became more courageous. After Mrs. Sun punched him a few times, he fought back. In the end, Mrs. Sun who provoked him lay down on the ground howling and howling. stand up.Ding Maofa was disturbed by her crying, and said viciously: "You are crying, be careful that I will kill you."

Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Sun patted her thighs, and when she heard Ding Maofa say this, she stood up and rushed towards Ding Maofa, "Ding Maofa's old lady fought with you, not to mention that my old lady married you and suffered all day long, but now even your nephew has started Bullied me, now even you dare to beat my old lady, what is my old lady still doing alive, let me die with you."

Ding Maofa pushed Mrs. Sun to the ground, and shouted: "I'm not trying to find a way, why are you yelling!"

Sun started to howl again, and Ding Maofa was disturbed by her crying, and shouted: "Don't cry, isn't it just money? I will get you money later."

Sun wiped away tears and shouted: "What are you doing? You have used all the money from selling the land and the money from the family to gamble, and now the family has no money at all, and I can't even handle the pot. Just watch our family stay at home and starve to death!"

Ding Maofa thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Let's just get some money from that little bastard. He is the steward of the villa now. Why can't the grain, vegetables and poultry in the villa be sold for money? The villa is surrounded by some trees. We Go in from there and get something to sell.”

Mrs. Sun hesitated, this was stealing, "Is this possible? What if you get caught?"

Ding Maofa snorted, "Chuangzi with more than 400 mu can be held by only a few people guarding it? It must be impossible to catch it. Let's pull the cart, I will go in and get it, and you will guard outside!"

Mrs. Sun hesitated for a while, but finally agreed. The family has no more land, and they will not be able to solve the problem tomorrow, so they can only go to Ding Xiaochen to get some.Thinking that Ding Xiaochenzi is doing so well now, but he refuses to give them any benefits, Sun's heart becomes angry.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep at night, the two sneakily pulled the cart to the vicinity of the villa.The villa is surrounded by trees, so it is very easy to get in.Ding Maofa found a remote place for Mrs. Sun to pull the cart and guard here, and he got in through the middle of the tree branch.

Although it was night, the moon above the head was big and round, and the surroundings were clear.Chuangzi is surrounded by a family of crops, and now they are still mature, so Ding Maofa can go to the planting area and breeding area.

In addition to the seasonal vegetables, there are also some off-season vegetables in the planting area. These vegetables are more valuable. In addition, in the breeding area, apart from the family’s chickens, ducks, pigs, and rabbits, there are also a few big cows and calves. These cows were bought by Xu Xiaofu to cultivate the land. .Chickens, ducks, pigs, and rabbits are not as valuable as cattle. Ding Maofa was delighted when he heard the sound of the cow bleating.Through the moon above his head, Ding Maofa soon came to the planting area. He first got some off-season vegetables and bundled them into a bundle, and finally came to the breeding area. When he saw the lying cow, Ding Maofa was ready to open it with excitement. Wooden railings in the farming area.

As a result, before his hand touched the railing, he saw a waist-high four-legged animal running towards us in the distance. Under the moonlight, he couldn't see what kind of animal it was. It looked a bit like a dog, Ding Maofa thought Surprised, he picked up the vegetables next to him and wanted to run out, but unfortunately the animal had already come to him, threw him to the ground, and was about to bite Ding Maofa's neck with one bite, but finally paused and bit him. Ding Maofa's arm.

Ding Maofa's screams resounded throughout the villa, even Xu Xiaofu who was resting heard it.

Xu Xiaofu hurriedly got up and went to the living room, Mengshi and Xie Qingxue also got up, Mengshi said in shock: "Sister-in-law, what is that sound? Don't be a thief? But there is nothing valuable in this villa, so there is no need to what."

Xu Xiaofu put on his clothes, and said: "It should be a thief, Xiaohui caught him. There is nothing valuable in this villa, but the vegetables and poultry inside can be sold for money if you steal it, a little calf They are all worth ten taels of silver, which is of no use to us, but for poor people, ten taels of silver is enough for them to eat for a year."

Seeing Xu Xiaofu's appearance, Xie Qingxue said: "Sister-in-law, you want to go out? Isn't there a manager in the villa? I don't think you should go out, be careful that you will be hurt by a thief."

Xu Xiaofu walked towards the door, "It's okay, Xiao Hui is here, you can continue to rest."

When Xu Xiaofu went out, he happened to meet Ding Xiaochen who was rushing to the breeding area. Ding Xiaochen saw Xu Xiaofu and said, "Ma'am, why did you come out, you should go in and rest, there are servants here."

Xu Xiaofu said: "It's okay, hurry up and see what's going on." She was just worried that Xiao Hui would bite someone to death.

Except for Ding Xiaochen and Xu Xiaofu, everyone else in the village also rushed away.

When everyone came to the breeding area, through the moonlight, they saw Xiaohui throwing a person to the ground. The person was moaning in pain, but he didn't dare to move. Seeing that he was surrounded by people, his face turned dead gray.

Ding Xiaochen vaguely saw that this person's figure looked familiar, and when he took a closer look, his expression changed, "Uncle, why is it you!"

Ding Maofa saw Ding Xiaochen yelling angrily, "You bastard, why don't you pull this bastard away quickly, do you want it to bite me to death? I told you that I will pay for my medicine later!"

Ding Xiaochen was trembling with anger, he had never seen such a shameless person who had the nerve to come out to steal things in the middle of the night, "Uncle, don't go too far, you are stealing things, I can send you to see the official !"

Ding Maofa was a little guilty, but he thought that he was Ding Xiaochen's uncle, and said: "How dare you? If you sent me to an official, I would have sued you for being unfilial and for stealing my house and fields!"

Ding Xiaochen was speechless, turned his head to look at Xu Xiaofu, and said: "Madam, I'm sorry, the servant just asked someone to call the official messenger, and the servants in the villa will also send more people, and will keep watch at night."

Xu Xiaofu hummed, and called Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui immediately let go of Ding Maofa and returned to Xu Xiaofu, Xu Xiaofu touched Xiao Hui's head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hui did a good job, I will meet such a thief in the future Remember not to take their lives, just bite the arms and thighs."

Xiao Hui raised his head and howled twice, as if in response.

Xu Xiaofu glanced at Ding Maofa on the ground again, and said to Ding Xiaochen: "It's done, go and call the official, the official knows how to deal with it, he has all the evidence."

Finally, the official was called, and Ding Maofa yelled that he was a relative of the manager of the villa, and he could not be arrested or anything.It's a pity that these officials all knew that the villa belonged to General Xie's wife, so they didn't bother to pay attention to such a fool and took him away.

Mrs. Sun waited outside worryingly all night, and the next day she knew that her man had been caught by the officials. Whole grains.Later, when she became more courageous, she went to the capital to find Ding Maofa. Who knew that she would not be visited in prison at all, only that Ding Maofa had committed the crime of theft and would be imprisoned for several years.When Mrs. Sun heard the words, she immediately collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

Let's talk about what happened in the villa, Xu Xiaofu planned to leave Xiaohui in the villa. The villa is backed by the mountain, and Xiaohui can go for a walk in the mountain twice on weekdays. This kind of place is more suitable for Xiaohui, unlike the capital city, Xiaohui can only be kept in a small courtyard.

One month passed quickly, and the weather was not so hot, so Xu Xiaofu planned to go home. At this time, Xiao Baozi Xie Lin had been for more than three months, and his eyes could adapt to the strong light. I will take him out to play for a while.

A few days later, it rained and the weather became much cooler. Only then did they return to Xie's mansion in a carriage.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Xie's mansion, he heard a shocking news.
