Chapter 195 Looking at the Buddha’s face without looking at the monk’s face

 It has been sunny for five days in a row, and the villagers got up early in the morning and waited until late at night. At the beginning of the day, it started to rain heavily before they even had time to burn incense.

It was pitch dark, with thunder and flashes, and even the timid ones dared not stay at home alone.

According to the old people in Wanghe Village, this is to prepare for thunder, and God will shock the fairies in the world. There is no scientific basis, it is just a myth.

It gets cold earlier this year than last year. Last year at this time, you didn’t need to wear thin cotton-padded clothes, but this year you won’t be able to if you don’t.

All the thin quilts at home were replaced by thick quilts, and the windows and window gaps were covered, which made it more comfortable to sleep at night. While it was raining, Cheng Xue, Yu Niang, the Wang family, the Li Zhong family and Wen Tian, ​​sewed

Make thick quilts.

Cotton and cloth are all ready-made, so one person can be made quickly by two people, and a bed can be made in an hour.

It rained for a full day and half. Although the sun shone brightly the next day, the temperature dropped significantly by several degrees.

I feel breathless when I talk outside, and my ears freeze even if I don’t wear a headscarf.

Fortunately, the two brothers Li Qingchun worked quickly and took back the paddy fields. Otherwise, if the water was at this temperature, no matter how healthy you were, you would have to get rid of the disease.

It can be seen from this that in the next autumn harvest, the rice must be harvested first to avoid suffering. The fields are muddy, but no one dares to delay the work. The further you go, the more suffering you will suffer, and you must not be lazy.

After these days of observation, Cheng Xue is very satisfied with these twenty people. They already make money from spring plowing and autumn harvest, and do some odd jobs on weekdays. Now, after signing an agreement with them, they will be used for spring plowing and autumn harvest in the future, which is convenient and worry-free.
After discussing with Li Zhong, Cheng Xue planned to go home and write an agreement later. She went around to see Li Hui first. He still took Li Heng, Yan Yixin and the others to work. They had also harvested several acres of land these days, which was great.
Turning east is the Yu Zhao family's land. The couple is very capable, but unfortunately there is a lot of land and few people, and most of it is confiscated. Looking at the cabbage in the wasteland, Cheng Xue thought for a moment and walked over.

"Yu Zhao, brothers and sisters, let's talk about a deal with you!"

"What's the deal, sister-in-law?" Mrs. Wang said as she worked, "Shua, swish, swish..." and knocked down a lot of soybean poles.

"It's like this. I'm interested in the cabbage at your place. You can't finish it anyway. I'll take someone to collect it. Usually it costs one penny and three catties. If I collect it myself... one penny and five catties, how about it?

?"

"Okay, don't pay five catties for one penny, but seven catties for one penny." Ms. Wang counter-offered cheerfully.

It is estimated that the entire Liangyan will not be able to find anyone with such a counteroffer.

Cheng Xue pursed her lips and smiled softly, waved her hands and said:

"One penny and six pounds, I want that piece. If you have any rich piece, I can take it too."

"Sister-in-law, do you want some sweet potatoes planted next to that patch? If so, it's six pounds per penny."

Sweet potatoes are considered as food, and normally cost one penny or two pounds.

Cheng Xue was not polite to them and nodded in agreement. The couple's behavior was very similar to that of Yu Huai and his wife. These days, she helped take care of Yu Yingjie. If they didn't want to order something, the two of them would have racked their brains to figure it out. That wouldn't be good.

.

After settling on two plots of land, Cheng Xue went back to Li Zhong and asked him to arrange for people to take it back as soon as possible. The large vat has been delivered. There are many people this year, so the sauerkraut must be pickled in advance, otherwise there will be no food in the winter.

After walking around, Jiang Jianye's progress was very fast in previous years, but obviously not this year. The last time I checked his pulse, ten doses of medicine were equivalent to drinking in vain, with no effect at all.

Seeing him sitting on the ground to rest, Cheng Xue walked over and said:

"Uncle Jiang, let me help you take another look."

"Don't look at it. It's useless. It won't make you better." Jiang Jianye resisted.

Every day there is a lot of chaos in the house, one is looking for life and death, and the other is watching coldly. The second boy doesn't do anything, but he doesn't break up the fight either, which makes him feel particularly depressed.

In the past, I often helped other families to resolve conflicts, but now that it was my turn, I was helpless. Who would believe me?

Cheng Xue couldn't help but grabbed his wrist, checked his pulse, stood up, and left without saying a word.

According to her previous personality, it didn't matter to her what kind of trouble someone had, even if a person's head was beaten into a dog's head, she would just listen to it. But after traveling here for so long, she deeply realized the value of mutual help among farmers.

.

Especially Jiang Jianye, such a warm-hearted uncle, shouldn't be troubled by these trivial things every day, at least he shouldn't have such a broken body at his age.

If it continues like this, it will be five years at most. A good person cannot live long, that is unfair! Li Fang’s grandson still lives into his sixties, and Jiang Jianye is only in his early forties, absolutely not allowed.

Pushing open the door of Jiang's courtyard, Cheng Xue was stunned. The courtyard that used to be clean was now overgrown with weeds and extremely messy. Those who didn't know better thought it was the residence of errand runners.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough...cough cough cough cough..."

Jiang Qishi's coughing sound could be heard in the house. Cheng Xue entered the house and looked again. The pot was cold and the stove was cold. The bowls after breakfast had not been washed.

What are you doing? This is nothing.

I heard a noise in the house and mistakenly thought it was a family member coming back. I threw the broom down hard and yelled——

"Do you still know how to get back here? Don't you know that I'm sick? Do you need someone to take care of you? All of them are heartbroken... cough cough... meaty heart tip... cough cough... white-eyed wolf! Is it Daqiang or Lao Kuai, hurry up and get me some water.

Dead person? Can't hear me cough...cough cough cough..."

Cheng Xue was already angry, but when she heard such rude shouting and scolding, she became even more angry.

He took a ladle of cold water and entered the house. The man on the kang continued to scold——

"No worries, can I drink cold water? You...who are you? Ah——"

"Wow——"

Cheng Xue poured a ladle of water on her body, then quickly took action and grabbed her collar.

She was a sick man, so he was no match for her. She just dragged her out of the house and out of the yard.

Cheng Xue ignored her coughs and curses.

"Yu Xue - you damn...cough cough...cough cough cough...cough cough cough cough..."

You can clearly hear her bronchitis from the cough without checking her pulse.

Cheng Xue pushed and dragged her all the way to the Jiang family's field behind the village. Her coughing sound attracted many people's attention on the way.

Some watched the excitement, some looked confused, and some stepped forward to stop them, such as Guo Dake, Dong Cheng, Li Qingshan and others.

"What are you doing, sister-in-law? Let me go quickly."

"Yes, brothers and sisters, if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, you have to think about Uncle Jiang."

"Tiedan Niang, you are the most important person in the overall situation, so you can't make a wrong decision."

"..."

Everyone said something to each other, but no matter who tried to dissuade them, Cheng Xue did not let go. Instead, with a look, everyone stopped saying anything.

"Third Brother, there is a saying that is right, 'Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.' If you want to know why, come with me. Third Brother, has Uncle Dong gone to the ground? Ask Uncle Dong to come over too."

After saying that, he continued to drag Mr. Qi forward without looking back.

Now she is unable to struggle at all, just like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board, letting others slaughter...
