Chapter 83

  By the time the villagers drove away Song Shitou and the others, and Li Shuniang's emotions had stabilized, it was already dark.


After a simple dinner, Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian returned to their new home.

The couple's new house has also been built. The front and back yards have the same layout as Li Qiao's house, but there are fewer rooms and a smaller yard, but it is enough for the two of them to live in.

Li Chuntao also returned home.

Li Shu and his wife went back to the old courtyard.

Huang Youming also went back to the room and prepared to sleep.

Soon there were only Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left in the big courtyard.

The couple went back to the backyard to take a bath. In early autumn, the night was already cool, but the sun was still powerful enough to heat the water in the shower bucket during the day.

When they came out of the shower, the couple's cheeks were red from the heat.

Li Qiao wiped her hair with a dry cotton towel, and looked at Tao Zhu beside her while wiping.

Tao Zhu was also wiping his wet long hair with a cotton towel, and when he noticed his gaze, he turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?" "

Hmm...are you scared by me today? Are you afraid of me?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Qiao still asked.

"Why are you afraid of you?"

"I abolished Song Shishi, and I think many villagers were frightened by me at that time."

Li Qiao paused as he spoke, and slightly tightened the cotton towel in his hand: "Are you afraid?" Me?"

"I'm sure I'm not afraid of you."

Tao Zhu also stopped in his tracks, his watery eyes widened a bit: "Are you worried about this? Why would I be afraid of you? I think you did a beautiful and bloody job. If you don't help Third Sister vent her anger, Then I'm afraid of you."

In his conception, if his sisters or brothers were wronged at the in-law's house, of course the brothers at the mother's side should help vent their anger.

If you don't do anything, what kind of relatives are you? What kind of man?

"...Don't you think that the way I hit people back then was very different from what I usually do?"

Li Qiao understood his brain circuit, so he could only continue to ask the most important part.

In the last days, he survived for so long by killing, not only killing zombies, but also being forced to kill the same kind.

After he crossed over, he looked gentle and temperless on weekdays, because he felt that many things in this world don't need to be bothered. Compared with the end of the world, the things here are nothing, they are all pediatrics, not worth his troubles.

But in fact, he has not lost the ruthlessness that he was forced out in the last days. This ruthlessness is usually hidden in his bones, but once someone touches his bottom line, that ruthlessness will be revealed. jump out.

Not to mention abolishing a person, he wouldn't even blink if he killed someone.

Would Tao Zhu be afraid of him like this?

Tao Zhu always thought that he was the original body, but he was not, he considered confessing his origin to Tao Zhu, of course, not now, but in the future.

But seeing the fearful eyes of the villagers looking at him today, he hesitated.

Even if the relationship between him and Tao Zhu is better in the future, if he suddenly says that he is not the original body, Tao Zhu should be very shocked...

Thinking in another way, the person who has been in love for more than ten years is suddenly not this person. Everyone is a horror movie.

"It doesn't match. You are always smiling on weekdays, as if you would never get angry. But today it involves the third sister, it is normal for you to be angry. If I am wronged in the future, don't say you just smashed someone with a chair. You may be able to kill people with a knife."

"It's normal."

Tao Zhu didn't know what was in Li Qiao's mind, but he said whatever was on his mind, and he wouldn't hide it from Li Qiao, he spoke crookedly. Tilting his head, he opened his eyes wide and asked Li Qiao: "If I am wronged in the future, how will you vent your anger on me?"

Li Qiao: "..."

Okay.

As long as he doesn't make it clear, Tao Zhu will never understand what he really wants to ask.

"I will try my best not to let you be wronged and bullied you." He said: "If I don't care about letting you be bullied, then I will definitely take revenge. Even if it is murder and arson, I will help you." Get justice."

"That's it. You kill and set fire for me, how can I be afraid of you?"

Tao Zhu laughed all of a sudden, he tied up his long hair with a cotton towel, and stretched out his hand He grabbed Li Qiao's hand.

"Your starting point is for my own good. I will not be afraid of you, and I will never be afraid."

Li Qiao: "..."

Although Tao Zhu didn't know what he really wanted to ask, but Tao Zhu's words were an answer, right?

Lucky hit?

He wanted to confess to Tao Zhu, it was for Tao Zhu's good, he wanted to share supernatural powers with Tao Zhu, he wanted to share with Tao Zhu the modern society that Tao Zhu couldn't reach...

The news of Li Qiao's abolition of Song Shitou spread across ten miles and eight villages at the speed of light. In the afternoon of the next day, Li Ping brought Zhou Yun (Zhuang Quan's daughter-in-law, Zhuang Wen's eldest daughter-in-law) to Li Qiao's house to buy egg yolk cakes.

The egg yolk cakes that Tao Zhu sold to Li Ping were very cheap. At the real cost price, they only charged for the raw materials, and there was no manual fee. One piece was only ten cents, which Li Ping could afford.

After Li Ping bought the egg yolk cake, he didn't leave as usual, but took Zhou Yun to sit down and chat with Tao Zhu.

She went back to her natal home yesterday and missed the scene where Li Qiao abolished Song Shitou. Today she has something similar to tell Tao Zhu.

"Xiaoyun's natal family is from Zhoujiazhuang, which is in the same village as Zhou Mingsheng. Xiaoyun said that Zhou Mingsheng's parents are quietly paying attention to Chuntao." " Ah

?????"

Several people from the group were attracted.

Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian emerged from the large kitchen where they were staying.

Li Chuntao frowned, grabbed the long chopsticks for frying things, came out of the kitchen and stood in the yard.

Li Shu was kneading the dough, and couldn't help but also came out of the kitchen with hands covered in flour.

As for Tao Zhu, who was sitting opposite Li Ping and Zhou Yun, several lines appeared between his brows: "Why do they pay attention?"

Zhou Yun swallowed the egg yolk cake in his mouth, and explained: "In the past, Zhou Mingsheng's parents felt that their son I am from the city, so I look down on the people in the village, and I seldom communicate with the villagers. Even if I do, it is to show off that their son has become a city dweller.

" After leaving Zhao Erniu, the big guys began to stand on Chuntao's side, thinking that Zhou Mingsheng's ungrateful family was not a good thing, so the old couple didn't like to communicate with the villagers even more."

"But in recent months, the old couple like to join in the crowd. When the villagers talked about Chuntao, they didn't answer the conversation, but they didn't leave. They just listened." "You know, they used to mention Chuntao

. It was swearing, all kinds of foul language, but now I don't swear, and I still listen very attentively." "

At first, the villagers didn't realize it, but after a long time, the big guys also noticed it. Someone asked them what the old couple was doing. Instead of swearing like they used to, the two of them didn't even refute, they just kept a dark face." "

And Zhou Mingsheng has been diligent in returning to the village recently. You must know that when Zhou Mingsheng first became a city resident, it was only during the New Year's Eve in a year. I just went back to the village."

"Based on these alone, I can't say that the Zhou family is trying to plot Chuntao again. But when Song Shitou came over yesterday, I felt that no matter whether there is evidence or not, I still have to come and say that the Zhou family is not a good thing anyway. Even if they were really wronged, they deserve it."

"That's right, since they wanted to force Chuntao to death at the beginning, no matter whether there is evidence or not, they can be said to be doing Chuntao's idea." Li

Ping emphasized. head.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go!

Tao Zhu: "..."

That's true, but Zhou Mingsheng didn't take the initiative to deliver it to his door. Could it be that he wanted to rush to the county seat to abolish Zhou Mingsheng?

"As long as the Zhou family doesn't come to your door, then I don't want to worry about the past." Li Chuntao was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice.

The main reason is that there is no evidence, Zhou Mingsheng can't be beaten to death.

Her situation was different from Li Shu's. Song Shitou was a scumbag, and it was undeniable, but she and Zhou Mingsheng had a bad debt, and neither could beat the other to death.

If that's the case, then she'll get over it as much as possible, and make the Zhou family mad.

"Sister-in-law Yun, you can publicize it when you go back to your mother's house. My daily salary is 150 Wen, and Brother Qiao will give me red envelopes every year and festival. I have almost 300 taels of silver in my hand."

She It didn't take long to work here for Li Qiao, and the salary was the same as Li Dashan's. Li Dashan would often buy things in order to chase after Zheng Qianqian.

But she didn't have that expense, she saved all her wages.

So now she is a little rich woman.

"The young man who came to marry me is not only good-looking, but also good-natured, waiting in line for me to pick." "

I am literate, can keep accounts, and can read some miscellaneous books." "

Although I am still a A village girl, but not the old village girl who only knows how to work and bears the burden of hard work. According to Brother Qiao, I am

rich and free, and I can read and write. I myself, no one can be my master."

Speaking of this, Li Chuntao couldn't help laughing.

Originally, she wanted to anger the Zhou family, but as she talked, thinking of her current situation, she really couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

Single rich woman, how cool is she?

Even though she is nineteen years old this year, she is in no hurry.

Hey, the Zhou family is so mad.

The other people in the yard were relieved to see that Li Chuntao was not angry because of the Zhou family, but instead laughed while talking.

Tao Zhu said: "You are right, you are living so comfortably now, why should you care about the Zhou family's non-human scum."

"If you want me to tell you, Chuntao, don't be in a hurry to make a marriage agreement. When Li Qiao is admitted to the scholar's office, your value will increase a lot. By then, it will not only be young people from the countryside who will come to propose marriage. Yes, maybe there will be a scholar."

"That Zhou Mingsheng doesn't like you, but he is just a boy now, and he is still a boy after taking the exam for so long. If you are a lady of a scholar and he is still a boy, that would be ridiculous."

Thinking of this possibility, Li Ping happily patted his leg.

After passing the county examination and government examination, you can be called a child student.

Zhou Mingsheng was already a child, but he failed to become a scholar.

So the situation she said is indeed possible.

Don't let Li Chuntao really become a talented lady, Zhou Mingsheng is still a child, that would be a lot of fun.

The more Tao Zhu thought about it, the happier he became, and he told Li Ping what Li Ping had said when he was giving Li Qiao the rock sugar pear lily soup.

Li Qiao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Then I'll have Brother Tuo Wen to show Chun Tao, he knows a lot of talented people." "

Success!"

Tao Zhu nodded with the smile still on his face.

Li Qiao looked at Tao Zhu's smiling eyebrows, smiled too, then lowered his head to drink the soup with a spoon in his hand.

Long and dense eyelashes concealed the haze under his eyes.

Speaking of which, not only Zhou Mingsheng was a Tongsheng, but Gao Zhiyuan who had proposed marriage to Tao Zhu was also a Tongsheng.

Zhou Mingsheng is an ungrateful villain, but what about Gao Zhiyuan?

To propose marriage to Tao Zhu on his own initiative is definitely not for pure purpose.

Li Qiao was thinking about Gao Zhiyuan, but Gao Zhiyuan was scared to death now.

He can now be sure that this Li Qiao is not the Li Qiao in his previous life!

Li Qiao died early in his last life, so now Li Qiao must have been possessed by a ghost.

If it was still the original Li Qiao, he would definitely not be able to make vermicelli, let alone alarm the Holy One.

Li Qiao's abolition of Song Shitou was so appalling, so cruel and ruthless, but no one scolded Li Qiao, instead people stood with Li Qiao and denounced Song Shitou.

Li Qiao's prestige is greater than that of Jiangzhi County!

This is too scary, you must know that Li Qiao is just a boy like him now, not even a scholar!

Li Qiao responded all the time in Pingcheng, if Li Qiao took revenge on him, he would be abolished in minutes.

What to do?

Running away?

But where to go, the whole Hexi Mansion is dominated by Li Qiao!

His only way out now is the opportunity of the Seventh Prince. As long as he saves the Seventh Prince, what can Li Qiao do to him?

Even if Li Qiao really became a high-ranking official, there was nothing he could do about it!

According to the situation in his previous life, Tao Zhu saved the Seventh Prince two years later, but where did Tao Zhu save him?

...

Well, judging from the scope of Tao Zhu's activities, the rescue site is likely to be on the mountain next to Sanliu Village, and only that mountain has variables.

Or, let his mother go to the mountains more in the future?

...

Life in Li Qiao's family went on as usual.

It's autumn, and it's time to harvest sweet potatoes, but no matter whether it is Sanliu Village or the surrounding villages, there are not many smiles on the faces of the villagers.

The production of sweet potatoes has been greatly reduced this year, and the big guys really can't laugh.

However, fortunately, many people raised chickens, ducks and pigs, and some with a sensitive sense of smell raised more chickens and ducks in summer.

Chickens and ducks grow fast, can lay eggs, can eat meat, and there is a stable sales channel of Li Qiao.

The loss caused by the reduction of sweet potato production, they must recover from chickens and ducks!

People in the village raise more chickens and ducks. Even if Li Qiao's family consumes some snacks, if Wangyuelou consumes them, the family's eggs and duck eggs will soon be overwhelmed.

In addition, his family's wheat is about to be harvested - his family's wheat is planted late, so the harvest is also late.

Therefore, Li Qiao wanted to build a warehouse behind his yard to store grain.

There are cattle, chickens and ducks in the old yard, and Li Shuniang and Wang Xiaoya Chen Zaoer live there. There is really no place to store so much grain.

The village at this time is not the same as it was in Li Qiao's previous life. The streets are neat and orderly, and rows of houses are arranged in an orderly manner. The village at this time is within the area designated by the imperial court, where you like to live.

Therefore, the layout of Sanliu Village is that every family can live as they please.

The yard of Li Qiao's house is in the south of the village, and further south was originally a wasteland, but now there are Baiyou and Li Dazhong.

But Baiyou Li Dazhong is a distance away from his home, which is enough to build a warehouse.

Li Qiao was full of energy, and immediately went to the county to buy the land deed and building materials, and started construction after returning.

This warehouse must be large, not only to store food, but also to live in and watch over the food.

Li Qiao's family wanted to build a house again, and the villagers came to work as workers one after another. Li Qiao paid high wages and food supplements, so he could earn a little.

The warehouse was being built very quickly, and Li Qiao and Tao Zhu had to go around to check the progress every day. At noon this day, after lunch, the two went to the construction site as they did a few days ago.

As soon as they arrived at the construction site, they heard the cry of a child not far away. The couple followed the sound and saw Li Dazhong and Zhao Erniu each holding a child and coming out of the large yard.

Immediately afterwards, Baiyou also came out, too far away to see his expression clearly.

He said a few words to Li Dazhong and Zhao Erniu, and Li Dazhong and Zhao Erniu immediately left with their children in their arms.

But he stared at Li Dazhong's back, his whole body seemed to be a sculpture, motionless.

Seeing this, Tao Zhu talked to Li Qiao, and then walked towards Baiyou.

Before Tao Zhu came to Baiyou, Baiyou came back to his senses from the state of the sculpture. He saw Tao Zhu, smiled lightly, and walked towards Tao Zhu: "This warehouse is built so fast."

"Well, there are many people." Tao Zhu nodded, looked at his expression carefully, saw his red eyes, and comforted him: "Children are ignorant, let Brother Da Zhong teach them well, and hurry back when their temper is still uncertain. Hearing this ,

Baiyou smiled wryly: "Han Xiaoyan has been quietly instigating." "

I thought she was pitiful and wanted to give her some money, but not only did she have no intention of repenting, she also caused the two children to make trouble with me frequently. She's not worth my money."

As a widow, he knew that Han Xiaoyan's life was difficult, so in order to avoid Li Dazhong's worries, he thought about giving Han Xiaoyan money.

However, Han Xiaoyan is not worthy, really not worthy.

With Han Xiaoyan's personality, if he really gave her money, then she would definitely make fun of her, and she might use Li Qiao's name to cause trouble in the future.

Forget it, who made him choose Li Dazhong in the first place, this is what he deserved.

Tao Zhu was surprised when he heard Baiyou's words, and then immediately said: "No, Brother You, we must be ruthless to the end when we deal with Han Xiaoyan. If we soften our hearts, she can take the opportunity to make trouble." "I see, don't

worry , I will not soften my heart to her."

Baiyou nodded seriously.

"Don't pay too much attention to her, Brother Da Zhong is a good man, as long as the man is good, the others are nothing." Tao Zhu comforted him.

"I know." Baiyou said with a smile, and those red eyes immediately moved: "Dazhong is a good man." In the past

few months of getting married with Li Dazhong, he has no regrets at all.

The big courtyard where he lives now was built with his money. In order to prevent Li Dazhong from having the illusion of being married, he pays great attention to taking care of Li Dazhong's feelings on weekdays. It is as small as what he eats today, as big as what crops he grows in his field. They all discussed with Li Dazhong.

Li Dazhong felt his dedication and responded to him.

Li Dazhong listened carefully to his words and answered them without any perfunctory.

Regardless of what to do, Li Dazhong would tell him beforehand, even if he was going to the toilet, he should be told and invited to come with him.

And when he usually goes to work in the field, he will also ask him if he wants to go with him.

Of course, Li Dazhong didn't want him to do farm work, he was afraid that he would be bored living in the village.

He likes this thoughtfulness and stickiness very much.

When he was at the deceased husband's house, he had to serve his ex-mother-in-law every day, and he could not return to his own room until the ex-mother-in-law was asleep.

What greeted him was the snoring of his dead husband.

Having experienced the days of being a widow and serving others, he is very satisfied with Li Dazhong, and of course he will follow Li Dazhong when he goes to work in the fields.

After he arrived in the field, he didn't need to work, he just needed to stand beside Li Dazhong and chat with him.

Although there is a big difference in status between him and Li Dazhong, and Li Dazhong is also illiterate, they have something to talk about.

When he was young, his father taught him how to take care of his own property, and repeatedly told him to keep the property in his own hands, only the property would not betray him. Seriously, he has been studying hard with his father since he was a child.

So he has a good understanding of crops, how to grow each crop and the yield per mu, he knows everything.

Li Dazhong is an expert at growing crops and knows all about these things, so he and Li Dazhong have a common topic.

Li Dazhong was illiterate, but he didn't dislike him at all. His father was a scholar, and he failed his father.

His late husband was a scholar, so he suffered all kinds of grievances.

And since I was a child, I have seen a lot of those scholars in the county school. For this group, it is not his map gun, but there are indeed many scumbags.

So, what's wrong with being illiterate?

When he wants to discuss poetry, he can find other people, he doesn't necessarily have to find Li Dazhong.

Moreover, Li Dazhong didn't care about his money, he gave Li Dazhong the money, but Li Dazhong didn't want it, saying that he earned it himself, and there was nothing to spend it on.

He bought delicious food and clothes for Li Dazhong, and Li Dazhong happily accepted it, and would not accuse him of spending money recklessly.

Moreover, when he was in bed, Li Dazhong also made him feel the joy of being a husband. After getting married with Li Dazhong, he realized that there are still such happy things in the world.

But after getting out of bed, Li Dazhong returned to the embarrassment he had when we first met. Although he was always pulled along with him in everything, he rarely dared to look at him.

This contrast made him unable to help teasing him from time to time.

So, during the few months of getting married with Li Dazhong, he lived very comfortably and did not regret it at all.

Whether Li Dazhong loves him or not, he doesn't know. Should not love, Li Dazhong is more responsible for him.

But what does it matter.

Anyway, he is really happy now.

As for the two children, how can everything go smoothly in life, as long as the sweetness can overcome the troubles, then it will be a good day.

Seeing Baiyou's sweet smile when he mentioned Li Dazhong, Tao Zhu was relieved. He said a few more words to Baiyou, and when he saw Li Qiao standing next to the construction site waving to him, he planned to go back.

However, thinking of Baiyou's identity, he couldn't help but said: "Li Qiao and I want to find a talented gentleman for Chuntao. You know a lot of people, so you should pay attention to see if there is any suitable one." "Scholar?

"

Baiyou Somewhat surprised, after listening to Tao Zhu's explanation, he couldn't help laughing: "Then we have to find a talented man for Chuntao, and the Zhou family must be pissed off."

"Speaking of which, I really have a suitable candidate here."

That is the scholar who helped him quietly spread rumors in the academy.

The family background is not good, but the person is nice, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted him with spreading rumors.

However, although he and Li Dazhong are having a sweet time now, Li Dazhong can't let Li Dazhong know about spreading rumors.

So he said to Tao Zhu: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to ask him, the man's surname is Zhang, he's twenty-three years old, and he looks quite upright, I think he's a good match for Chuntao." Tao Zhu did

n't Thinking that Baiyou had found it so quickly, much faster than Zhuang Wen, he said a few more words to Baiyou, and then went back to look for Li Qiao.

Let Li Qiao palm his eyes first, well, he and Li Qiao will go to the county town to find Zhuang Wen in two days.

These people and things need to be explained in a transitional way~
