Chapter Twenty-Three Not Brainy

The villagers who tied up Dai Hua's stepmother were too proud to take her away directly. Compared with the stepmother who was so angry with her first wife and abused her stepdaughter, 'Zhao Xin' seemed to be an easy neighbor to get along with.

Especially now that Zhao Xing has met the big boss in the town and promised to lead the villagers to collect medicines to make money, the villagers are naturally willing to give her face.

"Pop!"

When Zhao Xun came closer, she slapped the chrysanthemum stepmother's ears and slapped her hands hard, showing how hard she had used them.

Sensing the lingering aura of death surrounding the Chrysanthemum Stepmother, Zhao Xin had no intention of saving her. It saved her a lot of trouble by seeking her own death. She, Zhao Xin, did not ask anyone from the Holy Mother to help her.

You must know that there is a price to pay for going against the will of heaven. After reminding Mr. Shen about his fortune, Lin Yuan came to visit him, which led to various subsequent troubles.

"How did you force Juhua to death in the first place? Who in the village doesn't know? Now for a few taels of silver, you forced Juhua to admit that she had an affair with Lin Yuan. You beat her to death in my house to force me to relent. If it weren't for the clan

If I want to punish you, I will send you to the government and sue you for blackmail!"

When Zhao Xun mentioned Juhua, she deliberately glanced at her. When she saw Juhua's eyes flashing slightly, she knew that this girl was not a simpleton, so she continued: "This is the last time, if you dare to come to my house and make trouble again,

Even if the clan leader points his finger at me and scolds me, I will send you to see the official!"

"There is nothing you can't find out about your dirty thoughts about plotting against my family. I would rather give the money to the poor man than let you take away a penny!"

The gagged Chrysanthemum Stepmother looked at Zhao Xin in panic. As an ordinary citizen, how could she have the courage to meet an official?

And Zhao Xing's words about the official who gave away the money were clearly a threat to Juhua Stepmother, and once she went to the government, she would never be allowed to come back alive!

"Don't take the person away yet." Zhao Fugui was afraid that Zhao Xin would say more nonsense, so he shouted quickly. When he passed by Zhao Xin, he warned in a low voice: "Those words can be said openly.

? I thought you had grown up, but you are still so ignorant!"

"I'm not being annoyed. If I don't say something harsh, how can I be afraid of the hob meat?" Zhao Xing waved his hand and said: "Cousin, go and do business quickly. Don't delay my move. It's really frustrating to live in this thatched hut."

"You, you, I'll talk to you about the rest of the matter when I get back." Zhao Fugui strode forward, stopped at the gate, and looked at the beaten Juhua complicatedly, which was almost unrecognizable.

He said: "You should also come with us. If you have anything to say, please explain it clearly to the clan leader before the village can make the decision for you."

"Yes." Juhua responded timidly. When she passed by Zhao Xun, she quickly raised her head and glanced at her. Then she habitually followed the village chief with her head hanging down, a proper doormat behavior.

"Cousin." After all the outsiders had left, Gou Sheng came to Zhao Xing slowly, fearing that his disobedience would make the only person who was good to him unhappy.

Rubbing the hair of Gou Sheng withered grass, Zhao Xing said with a smile: "The porridge is not cool yet, let's go in and eat it. My cousin is going to Zhou's house and has to find someone to help move. Otherwise, he won't be able to move in before dark.

.”

"I know the Zhou family. I'll go find someone for my cousin's dinner." Gou Sheng wanted to do something he could and show off, but he was held back by Zhao Xing.

"Be obedient, eat more food to grow taller and stronger. You will have to run errands when you recover from the injury." After a lot of fussing, Zhao Xin lost his appetite for food, so he patted Gou Sheng's shoulder and went out.

The Zhou family is not far away. When Zhao Xing went there, the Zhou family had just finished their meal. Except for the two people who were recovering from illness, no one was idle. They were all hard-working masters.

Seeing Zhao Xing coming, the juniors respectfully called Aunt Zhao, and they were no longer as defensive as before.

Zhou's mother even waved to Zhao Xin and asked her to sit next to her. She also took Zhao Xin's hand and persuaded her: "Children are debts owed by previous lives. Fortunately, Lin Yuan can now see what that woman is like. You

I also got a lot of money back. For the sake of my grandchildren, let this matter go away, but don’t worry about it and get sick again."

"That's what my aunt said. I'm very worried right now. No, I just went to the village chief to buy the yard next to yours. I want Xinghua and his mother to help me move. From now on, we will just

We are neighbors." Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Zhao Xing didn't bother to talk about some unpleasant things, so the elderly in the province still had to worry about them, which was not conducive to their recovery.

"Did you buy that yard? With those ten taels of silver, you can build a new house. It's too much money, right?" Zhou Xinghua's first reaction was that Zhao Xinghua had spent the money unjustly.

"There's no other way. Who made me want to be your neighbor? I have no other way but to buy his house." Zhao Xin said, spreading his hands.

Zhou Xinghua didn't know whether to laugh at Zhao Xi's thoughts or scold her for being a prodigal. She pointed at Zhao Xi twice and hurriedly asked the juniors to put down what they were doing and help Zhao Xi sort out the next door first.

, otherwise there will be no place to live if the things are moved here.

Zhou's mother and Zhou Dasheng couldn't help, but they could still tell the younger generation what to do, and the things that the Zhou family could produce were used without any concern at all.

When it got dark, Zhao Xing moved into a dilapidated new home with all his belongings and the remaining dogs.

“There is strength in numbers, that is absolutely true.”

Looking at the roof that had been patched up and the windows that had been reinstalled, Zhao Yan somewhat understood why the ancients emphasized that having more children would bring happiness.

If the family hadn't had a large population and the younger generation were all capable of working, Zhao Xin would have moved in and lay down on the kang. Not only would he be able to get some fresh air, but he would also be able to see the stars when he opened his eyes.

"Cousin, I'll sleep in the barn. I think the wooden boards over there are quite strong, and I can just lay them with hay." Gou Sheng looked at the small courtyard with only two rooms, and quickly found a place for himself.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This house is for you. We will go to town to buy new quilts tomorrow and then we can give you some clothes. It's just one night for now. You can lay out half of this quilt and cover it with half. You're young.

Can’t freeze.”

Zhao Xing looked at the room and said, "We still need to add another box, build another table, and put new paper on the windows."

This earthen house is for temporary residence. Zhao Xin does not plan to rest and renovate. He will wait until he earns some money to build a brick house with three rooms, so that he will not suffer in the winter.

Gou Sheng, who didn't know Zhao Xun's plan, didn't dare to say anything anymore, and slipped into bed, thinking that when Lin Yuan came back, if he could stay here, he would move to a warehouse, which would be better.

It's better to go home and live alone in a house with half a roof.

That night, Zhao Yan still slept in the space, but the door was closed tightly, and she was not afraid of anyone suddenly breaking in. She didn't have to pay attention to the outside all the time, which was quite comfortable.

Moving to a new house requires a warm stove. It is difficult for Zhao Xin, a female family, to invite villagers over for dinner, but the Zhou family next door must invite them, so it is rare that they did not go to collect herbs the next day, but took Gou Sheng to the town.

Purchase online.

In addition to daily necessities, there are also a lot of meat and vegetables. A few taels of silver are spent just like this. Zhao Xing doesn't feel bad at all. The purpose of earning money is to improve the quality of life, not to be a miser.

"Cousin, Gou Sheng only has a change of clothes. You really don't need to buy any more. You can still wear this one." After hearing the price of the ready-made clothes, Gou Sheng took Zhao Xing's arm and refused to let her choose another one.

Two sets.

"That's not possible. You have to have three sets of clothes everywhere. Otherwise, if it's cloudy and rainy and the clothes can't be dried, you'll be waiting in bed waiting for your cousin to dry the clothes for you?" Zhao Xing didn't think that ready-made clothes were expensive.

She could afford a hundred cents, and she didn't know how to sew and didn't want to waste that time.

The couple were in the cloth shop, and no one could persuade the other, but Zhao Lingxiu, who was peeking at the scene outside the door, was filled with hatred.

"Lingxiu, my sister-in-law didn't lie to you, did she?" Li Yunjuan said softly, looking at Zhao Xin with eyes that were shooting at her.
