C16 Cutting the Peach Blossom Tribulations

Qiu Ju didn't respond, she just stiffened. Auntie Qiu became even angrier when she saw this. "I said you're unhappy, but if you work hard like your sister and get married to a good family, would I need to worry so much?" Is there a need to be laughed at? "

Qiu Ju was so angry that tears were about to fall, "Mother, can you please stop? It's been a long day, and it's been annoying. Even if my daughter can't get married, she's still not bad at home.

Granny Liu quickly pulled at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Qiu Ju, don't make your mother angry."

Qiu Ju tightened her grip, knowing that she meant well. However, when she heard these words, she felt that it was ear-piercing.

"You damned girl, I've raised you for nothing. Now that your wings have hardened, you even dare to talk back, right?" Auntie Qiu chattered on and on.

Qiu Ju was so angry that she ran out when she heard Auntie Qiu shouting behind her, "Reject you!"

This damned girl, she's so disappointing. "Auntie Qiu spat on the ground," What are you looking at? "Xiao Yiming, you have to apologize to our family's Qiu Ju."

"If you want money, you don't have to risk your life." Xiao Yiming stared at her harsh face and said coldly. A straight body isn't afraid of a slanted shadow, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

"You … I'm going to look for the Village Head to judge you. You bastard, Xiao Yiming." Auntie Qiu screamed at the top of her voice. What kind of attitude was this?

"Why are you all shouting so much in the middle of the afternoon? "They're all very idle, aren't they?" With a cough, the village chief hit the ground with a crutch. This way, the villagers immediately opened up a path for them.

"Village head, you must seek justice for our Qiu Family." Seeing that her savior had arrived, Auntie Qiu ran over in a hurry to complain. She didn't forget to turn around and glare at Xiao Yiming.

"What are you making a ruckus for, it's too outrageous. We're all in the same village, why are you making a ruckus like this?" The village chief was not angry, but his expression was serious.

Auntie Qiu cried out, "Village Head, this humble woman has been wronged. You have to make the decision, this Xiao Yiming is wrong to beat someone up."

The Village Chief pondered for a moment. In his heart, he had some opinions about Xiao Yiming. Xiao Yiming was so poor that he was able to provoke other families' daughters. Thinking about his daughter, he truly remembered her.

"Xiao Yiming, did you really hit him? Did you all see that? " The village chief surveyed the surrounding villagers who were enjoying the show and asked.

Some of them nodded to themselves. Granny Liu rushed forward and interrupted, "Village Chief, Xiao Yiming has beaten someone up. Everyone is looking at him with their eyes, how could he be lying? "This brat really disrespects his seniors too much …"

"Alright, Granny Liu, Auntie Qiu, hitting someone on Xiao Family is wrong. Make them compensate us with five silvers, then this matter will be over." The Village Head admitted that he was being fair.

"This is not fair. Xiao Family is not willing to accept this." Even if it was just a shove, it would still cost five taels of silver. It was that easy to earn money, so Aunt Xiao was willing to give it a try as well. You still need to pay the medical fees?

"Who exactly is the village chief? If I say another word, I will pay you ten silver taels, and I will give you a month to repay your Xiao Family. If you have any opinion, you can go to the village committee and say it, it's too outrageous." The Village Chief had seized this opportunity to make a scene.

Five taels of silver is the equivalent of half a year's income for a farmer, and a month's repayment?" What would she give back? Aunt Xiao's face darkened. It was obvious that the village chief was holding a grudge.

"..."

After watching the liveliness, the villagers all dispersed with their own thoughts. All day, Xiao Family was in low spirits, and Aunt Xiao was even more worried. Why did she suddenly get involved in things again …

Where was she supposed to get five taels of silver? Even if she didn't eat or drink anything for a month, she wouldn't be able to earn a single tael of silver from her son's incessant work. Furthermore, five taels of silver was simply too much of a headache to bear.

At night, the moonlight shone into the house. The faces of the two people in the room were hazy, the oil lamp shone in the dim light, Luo Mannmann couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yiming, remembering his afternoon look.

"Wife, what are you laughing about? I'm so worried about this. "

When Luo Mannmann saw the worry on his face, she was too embarrassed to tease him. "I think you're quite a man today."

"Am I not usually a man? Wife, why are you saying this? Do you want to test it? "

As Xiao Yiming said this, his tall and straight body was about to press forward.

"Alright, let's get to the point. 5 taels of silver is no small matter. Have you thought of any way to deal with it?"

"My wife, I know. I'm sorry, this matter was caused by me."

"If 5 taels of silver can cut off this part of your Peach Blossom Calamity, it's worth it."

"My wife, what Peach Blossom Calamity, what do we have? You want to believe me? "

Xiao Yiming was getting a bit anxious. As soon as he was worried, he grabbed her shoulders and tightened his grip.

"Actually, Miss Qiu Ju is not bad either. You weren't prepared …" Luo Mannmann wanted to say that if the two of you liked each other, she could do it, but it wouldn't affect her repaying the favor.

"My wife, don't say such words anymore. I don't like to hear them." A hint of injury flashed across Xiao Yiming's face. He didn't like the feeling of his wife cutting off their relationship.

Luo Mannmann noticed that his eyes were especially clear and determined, which made her feel that something was different.

"About that, I was joking with you." Her heart sank as she brushed away the hand he had placed on her shoulder. She could not bear to see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Wife, I am serious." Xiao Yiming looked at her face and began to relax, "My wife, since we are now husband and wife, we must trust each other. Those are things from the past, I don't want to talk about it anymore. My wife is the only one in my heart."

Luo Mannmann found his words funny, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud. She could only nod her head. "Alright, I believe you."

"My wife, don't worry. As long as you don't fall for me, I won't do anything to you, okay?"

As Xiao Yiming said this, he took the other blanket from the afternoon and made a bed for the On the Kang. He tidied up the quilt and said, "My wife, you must be tired. Go and rest."

Luo Mannmann's heart felt a little awkward and her face felt a little hot after hearing him talk about this. Hearing his words, she felt even more grateful to him.

"Your days will be better. My wife, I will be more diligent." Xiao Yiming folded the two quilts and went to On the Kang.

"I trust you, your days will be better." Luo Mannmann was a little tired. She got on the brick bed and went around him to get into the On the Kang's blanket. She looked at the tired Xiao Yiming and thought for a while.

The next day, the roosters crowed. Xiao Yiming opened his eyes. The sky outside the window was still dark, and he estimated that it was 5 in the morning.

Honestly speaking, Xiao Yiming didn't sleep at all last night as he kept thinking about how he could earn more money. But no matter what, he owed Qiu Ju.

He woke up very early. Although the movement of his clothes was very small, Luo Mannmann still woke up.

At this moment, the thin summer clothes covered Xiao Yiming's well-built chest, then he saw Luo Mannmann's black eyes roll around.

"My wife, you're awake. Why don't you sleep a bit more?"

"What are you doing up so early? The sky outside is still gray? "

"I'll go up the mountain and see what I can find there." Xiao Yiming said.

"Then, let's go together." Luo Mannmann hurriedly got dressed and got up. She had heard that there were usually plenty of resources in the mountains and many treasures were hidden. If they caught some prey or some rare medicinal herb, they might even be rich, let alone paying five taels of silver.

"Very well then. My wife should be careful on her way, but follow me closely." Xiao Yiming carried a basket on his back, an axe, a dagger, a fire piston and a bag of water.

"I'll take these. Carry the axe." Luo Mannmann snatched the basket from his back.

"Let's go." Xiao Yiming nodded, carried his axe and walked out the door.

I heard that the resources in the mountains are usually very abundant and many treasures are hidden here. If we catch a strange and rare beast or encounter some rare plant, forget about paying it five taels of silver, we might even be rich.

"Very well then. My wife should be careful on her way, but follow me closely." Xiao Yiming took a basket and carried it on his back. After giving an order with worry, he picked up an axe, a dagger, a fire piston and a bag of water.

"I'll take these. Carry the axe." Luo Mannmann delicately snatched the basket from his back.

"Then let's go." Xiao Yiming nodded, carried his axe, and the two of them went out together.

The two of them walked along the small path in the field towards the village. There were mountains on this side of the village, with layers upon layers of mountains on this side. It was said that they were rich in resources.

However, there were a few hunters in the village that often hunted in the mountains. Doctor Chang was also gathering herbs here. Even if there were good things here, they would have already been harvested by someone else.

He wanted to see what else he could sell for money. Since he was going to chop down a tree today and do some small work, the two of them eventually went down the path and headed into the mountains.

The gray sky was turning white, the morning air was fresh, dewdrops flowed in the grass, birds chirped, and both of them could see the cloud above the mountain as they stood at the foot of the mountain.

Although it was very early in the morning, he met a few villagers on the way.

"Yiming, good morning."

"Good morning, Brother Liu Shan." Nodding and greeting.

"Oh, Yiming, is Shan looking for something that can sell for money this early in the morning?" Brother Liu Shan's eyes were filled with shrewdness. The villagers often came here, and some of the treasures had already been picked up by them. At this time, he wanted to go up the mountain to sell some Wild Wood Ears, but he only picked a small bag, just enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

"No, Brother Liu Shan, we'll just go up and take a look. Then, we'll chop down a tree and go home to do some small work." Xiao Yiming said this as he was only here to try his luck.

"Yiming, did you have to worry about Qiu Family? Although my family isn't rich, I can lend you a tael of silver. As for the rest, you should make up for it yourself."

Liu Shan was a loyal person. Usually, his relationship with Xiao Yiming was quite good. Since he had trouble meeting with his brothers, he naturally wanted to help.
