Delicate Flower Chapter 50: Mountain Forest
Wei Xiaochuan became excited and said hurriedly: "Sister, don't worry. Although he is studying in the government school and I am studying in the county school, we have acquaintances. I promise to tell you what he does every day."
Yu Tang said: "Then you can't neglect your studies?"
If the Li family wanted the painting, they would either fall into her trap, steal or rob it, and get Lu Xin's "relic"; or they could force her to marry Li Jun like they did in the previous life.
If the Li family fell into her trap and a gentleman took revenge, it would not be too late in ten years. She could spend ten or twenty years slowly finding out the real cause of Wei Xiaoshan's death. But this life is different from her previous life. She has parents and a brother. If the Li family wants to interfere in her marriage again, they can only outwit but not take it by force. There must be other options.
She can just wait.
The top priority now is to appease Wei Xiaochuan and prevent him from affecting his studies or even his future due to this incident.
Wei Xiaochuan showed a little smile and said: "Sister, don't worry, I know the severity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tang heard his mother's voice: "What are you doing here?"
The two of them went out together.
Ms. Chen was surprised and said hesitantly: "Is this Xiaochuan? The fifth son of the Wei family?"
Wei Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mr. Chen.
Mrs. Chen hugged him happily and said: "Good boy, what's the matter with you coming to our house? Why don't you go in and talk? It's not good at the back door. Come on, come on, come on, follow me into the house. ." He shouted to Shuangtao again, "Pack some of the snacks that Master Yuan bought from Hangzhou a few days ago and give them to Xiaochuan to try."
Wei Xiaochuan's face turned red. He hurriedly said: "Aunt, no need! I just came to see my sister. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, our county school is on holiday, and I have to go back to help my family with farm work!"
"Oh my!" Mrs. Chen liked it even more when she heard this, and said, "You are already studying in the county school, and you are also helping the family with farm work! That's great. Unlike some scholars who just read a few books and Nothing is left to chance. However, since you are in a hurry to go back for the festival, I won’t keep you. But you must bring snacks with you. If you don’t like eating them, you might as well give them to your brothers and sisters. ."
Wei Xiaochuan agreed, thanked Mr. Chen, took some snacks, and went home.
Ms. Chen closed the door and interrogated Yutang: "Xiaochuan is a boy who is not even three feet tall and is studying in the county school. Why did he suddenly come to find you?"
Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "Can't I ask him about Miss Xiang?"
Ms. Chen slapped her in the face and said, "This matter hasn't been decided yet. If anything happens to you because of you, I won't take care of you and send her to the woodshed."
Yu Tang knew that her mother would always be cruel to her. When she was a child, she got into countless troubles and her mother never touched a finger. She deliberately made her mother happy, shouting "Abba" loudly and saying: "Mom wants to beat me!"
Yu Wen hurriedly came out of the study, and before he saw anyone, he shouted loudly: "If you have something to say, please tell me, why don't you hit the child!"
"Yu Tang!" Mrs. Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yu Tang has already run up to Yu Wen's side.
Yu Wen knew at first glance that it was Yu Tang who was playing around. He spread his hands helplessly towards Mrs. Chen and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'm going to write. I don't care about your business."
Yu Tang ran to his mother to apologize to her, and changed the focus of the conversation about the blind date tomorrow: "What should I wear? If I steal Miss Xiang's limelight, she won't like me even before she comes in. What should I do if my sister-in-law is sick?"
"Then I'll marry you off." Mrs. Chen pinched her daughter's cheek, but still helped her pick up her clothes.
Yu Tang chose a lilac-colored dress to accompany Ma Xiuniang when she got her hairpin. Although Chen was not satisfied, she didn’t say much. In the early morning of the next day, she and Wang and others took a sedan chair to go to their Yu family’s home. After having lunch at a farm in the countryside, he pretended to be passing by the Wei family on his way back to his hometown and paid a visit to the Wei family.
Yu Tang looked at the scenery along the way and felt a little depressed.
Usually such meetings are held in temples or nunneries.
His family and the Wei family arranged a roundabout arrangement at the Wei family, probably because they were afraid that she would be hurt by the situation and think of her own marriage.
Her parents showed love and affection, but she could not repay them.
Yu Tang took a deep breath and warned himself that he must be happy in front of his mother.
The Yu family’s old house in the countryside is quite big, with a five-story brick house. A distant widower lives there with his adopted son to help the family take care of the house and manage the farmland. Yu Tang wants to call him The fifth uncle calls his adopted son the seventh uncle.
This fifth uncle is in his sixties, honest and loyal, and has been helping the Yu family take care of the old house in his previous life. Knowing that Yu Wen and others were coming back, he cleaned the house early and prepared a banquet.
Yu Tang and his mother, aunt and other female relatives were eating in the house, while Yu Wen and his fifth uncle were drinking outside.
The fifth uncle asked Yu Wen: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet passed, and although the grain in the fields has been harvested, it has not been recorded in the accounts. Why don't you go to the granary and take a look first?"
Yu Wen smiled and said: "Today we are just going back to the countryside to have fun. Things in the fields are still the same as in previous years."
The fifth uncle looked at the gloomy sky and didn't understand why he came to the countryside to play in such weather.
But he is an honest man, and even if Yu Wen doesn’t tell him, he is too embarrassed to ask. Because Yu Yuan had to go to the Wei family in the afternoon, Yu Wen didn't drink, and because it was still early to meet with the Wei family, he didn't leave the table after dinner. He drank tea and chatted with his fifth uncle about things in the farmland.
Uncle Seven is a man in his early forties, of medium height, with dark skin and a strong build. For some reason, he has never married. When Yu Tang came to the farm with her father when she was a child, he often pushed her around and bought her snacks and headbands. He liked her very much.
Later, when her parents passed away, he made a special trip to pay homage, and carried rice to her intermittently several times.
Uncle Seven stood outside the door and waved to her.
When Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang saw each other, they smiled and said to Yu Tang: "Go! Let your seventh uncle take you around the village to prevent you from getting bored."
Since his rebirth, Yu Tang has not seen this seventh uncle.
She smiled and walked out the door.
Uncle Seven took out a simple birdcage from his back that looked like he had made it himself, and said, "I'll give it to you to play with."
Yu Tang took a look and saw several sparrows in the birdcage.
Most likely it was Uncle Seven who caught it.
I once took her to roast sparrows.
She pursed her lips and smiled, thanked Uncle Seven, and took the birdcage.
Uncle Seven asked her: "I'm going to pick osmanthus later. Do you want to go? I'll make osmanthus candy for you to eat."
Yu Tang doesn’t really want to go, but she wants to see the mountains and forests at her uncle’s house.
In the previous life, after the forest was sold to the Pei family, the Pei family planted a kind of fruit in the forest and made it into preserves for sale. It is said that the fruit sold very well in Hangzhou City. Because of this, Mr. Gao often scolded Yu Yuan for being a waste, treating him like a waste material while guarding the gold and silver mountains, but he actually sold such a good mountain.
After Yu Tang heard about it, he was so angry that he didn't eat for several days, but he had to admit in his heart that the Pei family's stewards were very good. Such a mountain forest could be found in the hands of their stewards to make money.
In this life, she also wants to give it a try.
Yu Tang put the birdcage in and handed it to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang, saying: "Let my eldest cousin coax Miss Xiang to play. I will follow my seventh uncle to pick osmanthus flowers."
Ms. Chen hurriedly told her: "Don't pick it yourself, be careful if your hands are stained with flower juice, which won't wash off for a long time." She called Uncle Qi in and asked him to look at Yutang.
Uncle Seven promised repeatedly.
Yutang and Uncle Qi went to the foot of the mountain where the sweet-scented osmanthus was planted.
The green leaves are dotted with small yellow flowers.
Uncle Seven brought her a cloth bag and said, "You stand under the shade of the tree while I pick flowers."
Yu Tang responded with a smile.
When Uncle Seven was picking flowers, she stood on tiptoe and talked to him: "I see that other people's forests grow walnuts, peaches, and plums. Why is there nothing in our forest?"
Uncle Seven picked the sweet-scented osmanthus with his hands and feet and said, "Your uncle's mountain forest is not good, and the soil quality is very bad. Your grandfather also planted walnuts when he was young, but the walnuts produced were bitter and astringent. They couldn't sell it. Later they planted bamboo shoots, and the bamboo forest grew a large area, but the bamboo shoots they planted were like dry firewood, not to mention those peaches and plums... When it comes to your uncle, just let it go. , you can just grow a few miscellaneous trees and sell some firewood! Your little girl’s family doesn’t know that firewood is also very easy to sell in winter. Even in Lin’an City, the supply exceeds demand... I heard people say that the price is more expensive in Hangzhou City. But your fifth uncle is not in good health, so I can’t go too far, otherwise I will go to Hangzhou to sell firewood..."
Yu Tang was a little confused.
Going to Hangzhou City to sell firewood? The money from selling firewood is not enough to pay for the ship to transport the firewood, right?
She never cared about these things in her previous life. She went in one ear and out the other. She thought everything the seventh uncle said was quite interesting. But in this life...
Yu Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly.
With the experience of her previous life, no matter how hard she pretends, she can't go back to the beginning.
She was arranging the sweet-scented osmanthus picked by her seventh uncle, and there was a "rustling" sound in her ears, as if someone was coming from the grass.
Yu Tang looked up and saw several young men who were carefree.
When they saw Yu Tang, several people's eyes lit up and they greeted each other with their eyes. It seemed like they had bad intentions.
Yutang’s alarm bell rang loudly and called Uncle Qi: “Do you know these people?”
Uncle Seven turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, they are a few gangsters from our village. You don't need to worry about them, they don't dare to do anything!"
Having said that, he looked very nervous. The flower that he could pick with just a pinch just now could not be pulled off after two hard pulls.
Does this seventh uncle have anything to do with them?
Yu Tang said anxiously: "Uncle Qi, let's go back! I will accompany my mother and eldest aunt to the Wei family for a visit later. I will pick osmanthus with you next time." After saying that, he went to pull Qi. Uncle's clothes.
Uncle Seven's mouth trembled, but he said: "No, don't go back yet, I'll finish picking it in a while. ~IndoMTL.com~ Something's wrong!
Yu Tang looked towards the gangsters, who were walking towards her quickly.
The momentum is somewhat fierce.
Yu Tang went to see Uncle Seven again.
His hands picking flowers were holding the branches tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
Yu Tang suddenly thought of the Li family that she had been guarding against...
She ran away.
"Stinky girl, stop!" Those people shouted at her.
Then she was grabbed by the collar.
Yu Tang turned around and saw the apologetic face of his seventh uncle.
