Aunt Liu came over with a wooden basin. When she saw these garrulous women shouting around the branches and flowers, she knew what was going on.

People in the whole village were eager to discuss the fact that Zhihua's family had made money digging herbs. She could often hear people making sarcastic remarks in the past few days.

Then he said to them angrily: "You guys, why don't you have some shame? In the past, when people were poor, you didn't help. You would suffer from pink eye when they earned some money, and you weren't afraid of being laughed at by other villages."

Some young women blushed at these words, while the older women didn't take it seriously and rolled their eyes angrily.

"As for the Liu family, you are the only one in the village who is nosy."

"No, just because she is a scholar, she shows off her power in front of us every day..."

Liu Zhihua quickly wiped her hands, came over to pull Aunt Liu and said with a smile: "What can I say to these people? I am happy that my family is making money. No matter what they say, they will never be envious."

Aunt Liu laughed and said loudly, "That's the truth."

Everyone was so angry that they stared at each other, and a woman with a piece of cloth on her head taunted: "From the Liu family, don't you usually have the best relationship with the old Wang family? Why don't they take you to dig herbs?"

"That's right, she really flattered the Wang family..."

Everyone agreed and the words became more and more unpleasant. Aunt Liu angrily threw the wooden basin to the ground, pointed at her waist and cursed: "You old guys are in trouble, and my family doesn't lack the two dollars.

Whoever is like you is as greedy for money as a dog is for shit."

"Why are you so proud of having so much money? Damn it. Your son and daughter-in-law are far away from you and your wife in the town. They don't say goodbye all year round. No one will take care of you when you die..."

Before the woman could finish her words, a basin of cold water was covered from her head to her feet. She was so frightened that she shouted: "Ah - that wicked guy poured water on me!"

Liu Zhihua picked up the wooden basin and scooped out another basin from the river. She stared at everyone angrily and shouted in a rough voice: "I will wash whoever has shit in his mouth again!"

"Liu Zhihua, you bitch! You, ah——"

Before the woman finished speaking, Liu Zhihua poured a basin of water over without hesitation, scaring the people nearby who took a few steps back.

"Let's go, let's go, no more washing..."

"Liu Zhihua, just wait! When my son comes back tomorrow, I will come to you to settle the account."

A group of people left cursing, and some women who were watching the excitement lowered their heads and washed their clothes and stopped talking. The river suddenly became deserted.

"Aunt Liu, these are just gossips. Don't take their words seriously." Liu Zhihua took Aunt Liu and comforted her.

Old scholar Liu and Aunt Liu are rare good people. Unfortunately, they had a falling out with their daughter-in-law the year before last because of a quarrel. Their son and daughter-in-law live in the town and seldom come back. Fortunately, grandson Wei Qingmu comes to visit every now and then.

Those people deliberately used these harsh words to mock Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu would definitely feel uncomfortable.

The smile on Aunt Liu's lips faded, and she sighed with a smile and said: "Let them go as they say. We, the old couple, live in a very clean place. Besides, if we don't have my sweet grandson Wei Qing, the child is sensible and filial, we will never be able to live together."

As for being a lonely ghost."

Liu Zhihua hurriedly said, "Look what you are saying. You two have to live well and eat well. Waiting to see Wei Qing become a talent and find a virtuous woman to marry and have children. In the future, you will have to help take care of your grandson."

Sun."

"Yes, my dear grandson Wei Qing is very handsome, but my little grandson must be as soft as Jiaojiao."

When Aunt Liu thought about a white and waxy little boy calling her too big, she immediately beamed and couldn't close her mouth with joy.

The two of them were chatting about home affairs while washing clothes by the river. There were a lot of people here, and Aunt Liu didn't ask about the recent money digging for medicine, but just talked about the children.

……

Near noon, Liu Zhihua came back with washed clothes, followed by Aunt Liu.

The two entered the yard talking and laughing.

Old scholar Liu was invited to write big characters in the next village, but he couldn't come back in time at noon. When Liu Zhihua found out, he warmly invited him to his house for lunch, and Aunt Liu did not refuse.

"Hey, I didn't hear anything from the kids at noon."

Liu Zhihua looked at the wide open door of the main house, and curiously put down the clothes basin and took a look at Qiusheng's window.

In the room, Qiu Sheng is copying a script.

Several other children were sleeping on the kang.

Liu Zhihua smiled and did not bother, and went to the backyard to dry clothes with Aunt Liu.

There are several clotheslines tied to the Wang family's backyard. Aunt Liu simply hangs the clothes to dry. It's a nice day and the sun is bright, so they can be dried in a short while at noon.

After the two of them had dried their clothes, Liu Zhihua went to grab firewood. Aunt Liu also rolled up her sleeves to help, chatting and asking: "Zhihua, it's already dinner time, why don't you show your ambition?"

"He went to see the carriage with an acquaintance. I guess it will be afternoon." Liu Zhihua said with a smile.

Aunt Liu was stunned, "Carriage? Your family is going to buy a carriage."

"My family is well off, so it's not an option to always rent someone else's. I don't think carriages are expensive, so I think I can just buy an ox cart to travel. But my father and the kids say it's not practical in winter. It happened to be that we sold some medicinal herbs yesterday."

The price is up to them today."

After Liu Zhihua finished speaking, she mysteriously pulled Aunt Liu into the kitchen and whispered a few words.

Aunt Liu was shocked when she heard this. "My dear, it only lasted half a month. She bought a carriage and a yard. No wonder those people were jealous.

She was happy for Zhihua, and said in a low voice: "Zhihua, you are lucky. You have a carriage in the yard, and there are no parents-in-law or relatives to interfere at home. You and your family can live a good life and don't tell others how much money you earn. We ordinary people

Close the door and live your life without doing anything to show off."

Liu Zhihua nodded with a smile and said happily: "Our small amount of money is nothing in the eyes of wealthy people. If our family can eat well and wear warm clothes, and the children can grow up safely and healthily, his father and I will be satisfied."

."

"Oh, I told you that your kitchen has a lot of furniture and all the seasonings. Well, I'm so happy today. I'll make you my specialty pork slices..."

……

Meanwhile, in town.

Wang Zhuangzhi and Sun Sihai took a fancy to a carriage. After checking that it was correct, they paid the silver. It was a strong horse with a mane. The carriage was spacious and made of solid wood. They spent a total of thirty-five taels of silver.

The two came out in a carriage and looked at the lively streets. Wang Zhuangzhi felt very happy.

Suddenly, a frightened horse screamed, "Neigh!..."

Wang Zhuangzhi was stunned and quickly pulled the rope to stop the carriage.

At this time, angry shouts and curses came from the opposite side.

"What kind of stinky beggar dared to scare our Master Zhao's carriage, let's see if I don't kick you to death..."

Everyone stopped and watched. The unkempt beggar struggled to get up, but he was dizzy and heavy and couldn't get up. The tattered clothes couldn't cover the whip scars all over his body. Faced with the punches and kicks, he could only curl up as much as possible.
