Chapter 32

Zhu has always been honest. When he heard Daniel's words, he didn't know how to answer them. He was so anxious that sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

Lan'er bit her teeth and said, "brother Daniel, there's really no way to make money. If you don't believe what I said, you can ask sister Yu."

People dare to stop them here, but they dare not ask Xia Xi.

One reason is that Xia Xi is the wife of the whole family. If she accidentally says something wrong, she may not be able to eat good fruit in the future. The other is that even if there is a way to make money, it's someone else's. they can't speak without telling them.

Daniel couldn't find anything. He was disappointed. He patted the pillar on the shoulder and turned back.

When they saw it, they turned back in twos and threes.

Pillar and orchid son relaxed tone, wait for everyone to walk far, this just hurried to summer Xi there.

"Sister in law..."

As soon as he entered the door, Lan'er called out.

Xia Xi hears the movement, looks through the window is them two people, raises a voice: "come in."

The pillar stayed in the yard. Lan'er went into the room and saw that there was no one else in the room. He lowered his voice, "sister-in-law, something happened..."

LAN Er told her what happened just now.

Xia Xi, after listening, twists her eyebrows.

It's not enough to be afraid if only the people in the yard over there know about it. But if the whole village knows about it, I'm afraid they will keep an eye on them in the future, and it won't be so easy for them to catch fish again.

"The time of catching fish in the future will be moved back, and we'll wait until after midnight. We can't hide it. Let's talk about it."

LAN Er is angry, "also don't know which long tongue of say things, if I know, must tear her mouth not."

It's not easy to find such a way to earn money. I can save some money. Now I'm being watched. I don't know how many days I can catch it.

In the evening, Xia Xi blows the light early and pretends to sleep. Ling'er stealthily walks to the door of the moon to see that there is no light in the room. She turns her lips, stands up straight and turns back.

Pillar and Lan'er also pretended to go to bed early, listening to the movement outside.

After a long time, they thought that even if there was a watcher, they would be too cold to go back. When they got up, they did not dare to light the light, groped for their shoes, quietly opened the door, and listened carefully. There was really no movement. Then they dared to come out and carried the bucket to the river.

Xia Xi also leads Qi Er to come over.

A few people made a quick decision and soon caught ten fish. Xia Xi and Qi'er went home and went to sleep. Zhu and Lan'er didn't sleep much. When they went to the county every day, they put on their clothes and carried the fish to the county.

Just, haven't come to the entrance of the village, from the dark out of a few figures, the first one is Daniel, skin smile meat don't smile, "pillar brother, this morning, where are you going?"

The pillar screamed in his heart. He was about to turn around when he was carrying the bucket. As soon as he moved, several people quickly surrounded him. Daniel pressed his shoulder hard. The other people looked into the bucket and exclaimed, "it's a fish!"

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and the pillar took the opportunity to shake off his clamp and stepped back a few steps.

People come back, followed closely, Lan'er blocked in front of the pillar, "this fish is what we want to catch, one does not break the law, two does not interfere with other people's home, what do you want to do?"

They looked at the fish in the bucket again and looked at the pillar. They couldn't help asking, "can these fish sell for a lot of money?"

The pillar and Lan'er were silent.

Daniel straightened his shoulders and said to the others, "since brother Zhu refuses to talk, don't blame us. Let's go and see the village head."

………

Xia Xi was awakened by the sound of footsteps. She didn't open her eyes or make a sound.

The sound of footsteps stopped in the courtyard. It seemed that he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Lady Ju Ren, are you awake?"

Xia Xi didn't answer.

The people outside didn't hear the answer. They hesitated for a while before they spoke again. Their voice was slightly raised

Xia Xi pretended to be just wake up, sleepy asked a, "who?"

The people in the courtyard seemed to be relieved, "it's me, Daniel's daughter-in-law. The village head said to let you go."

Xia Xi opens his eyes, the sky outside is slightly bright, "what's the matter?"

"Zhu Zhu and Lan'er caught the fish in the river and sold them. They were found by the villagers. They said it was your way. The village head asked you to go there."

Xia Xi frowned, "I know, you go first, I'll be there in a moment."

The sound of footsteps is far away.

Xia Xi sits up and puts on her clothes. The charcoal basin in the room is still warm.

"Mother..."

Qi'er sat up with her and looked at her anxiously.

Xia Xi rubbed his head.

After a night's sleep, his hair was almost kneaded into a chicken nest. Then he let go and scraped off his nose. "Qi'er, don't worry. It's a big deal that my mother gives them the way to catch fish."

"But..."

There are a lot of coppers in the account of catching fish every day, but if we teach them to the villagers, it will be difficult for them to catch fish in the future.

"It's not a long-term plan. Besides, we already have enough money for our wives to have enough food and clothing in the future."

Qi'er opens her mouth and wants to say something, but finally sighs like a little adult.

Xia Xi is amused, curving a finger to play on his forehead, "you comb slowly, we are not in a hurry."

……

It's two quarters of an hour since the two of them arrived at the village head's house.

Everyone was so cold that they stamped their feet and rubbed their hands. When they saw them coming, their eyes lit up. They stopped and looked at her.

Xia Xi walks into the courtyard with the same face. She looks at the pillar and Lan'er standing in the middle of the yard, with their heads down and dare not speak. In front of them, there stands an old man, about 50 years old, with his hands on his back, and his face is very serious.

As soon as she entered the yard, the old man's eyes fell on her.

He is expected to be the head of the village, Xia Xi's face is the same as the past, "I do not know what the village head asked me to do?"

"Ju Ren Niang, Zhu said that you taught them how to catch fish?"

The village head did not beat around the Bush and asked questions directly.

Xia Xi nodded, "yes."

Someone breathed out. They didn't believe what the pillar said just now. Now she admitted it herself. It was a little surprised.

The village head's eyes narrowed slightly. "How did you come up with this way to catch fish?"

"Forced."

Xia Xi these three words a, the public as if fried open pot, immediately began to talk.

Xia Xi raised her voice, "my husband can't come back once a year and a half. Although my parents send three liang of silver every month, none of the copper falls into my hands. Qi'er and I can only raise a fire in the main room to keep warm on this cold day. As for food..."

At this point, Xia Xi stops, but everyone has already made up a lot of pictures by themselves. Their wives are abused, they can't eat enough, they can't wear warm clothes.

At this time, a carriage stopped at the door of Yu's house. The people on the carriage came down and said something to the coachman. The coachman turned around and soon left. The people who came down raised their feet and walked into the courtyard.

Zhi'er just finished cleaning, just came out to pour water, opened the door curtain, saw the people in the hospital were stunned for a while, then cheered to shout out, "big brother!"
