Mountain People

Chapter 81: Chatting after dinner, smart Liu Yueyi

"You still misunderstood, you should have learned how to deal with people in a big family, how to greet people, and what to say. I want you to relax here with us, and It's not that you want to abandon the rules and etiquette you learned before, you have to be flexible when you are in the world."

Cuixi looked at Gu Shuixiu sideways, and she was shocked. Gu Shuixiu seemed to see her former master just as she spoke. How could this woman be an ordinary mountain woman? Impossible!

Liu Yueyi was also shocked. Although Gu Shuixiu had a very good attitude, her words were well-founded. How could these words be said by ordinary women without knowledge?

Liu Yueyi felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and became very close to Gu Shuixiu, she actually listened to all her words.

It was night, everyone was full, washed, and gathered around the main room to talk about what they had seen and heard outside the mountain in the past few days.

Dong Chenghu seems to have something to say, so he doesn't vomit unpleasantly.

"Shuixiu, I will let Cuixi take care of you from now on, and Cuixi will help you deliver the baby during the delivery, don't worry, and I also brought back the stone mill that you are thinking about, the stone mill and the donkey. It's all in Uncle Qin's house, and I'll go get those things back tomorrow."

Gu Shuixiu thought of the weight of the stone mill, and was a little worried, "Can the bamboo raft hold up the stone mill?"

"Don't worry about this, the stone mill can be disassembled and transported, I just need to support the bamboo raft a few more times."

Gu Shuixiu didn't know much about the structure of the stone mill, so he was relieved to hear what Dong Chenghu said.

Hao said with a smile: "In the future, we will be able to borrow stone grinding from your house."

"Auntie, come if you want!" Gu Shuixiu said boldly, making Hao Shihe laughed.

Qin Shan thought that the family had exchanged fifty taels of silver this time, and he only spent five taels of silver to buy his daughter-in-law, and there was still forty-five taels left. Qin Chuan married his wife, so he said, "Mother, if you think the stone mill is easy to use, our family will also sell a set. Cheng Hu bought a big one and a small one this time. The big one grinds grain, and the small one can grind it normally. Some small things, I think they are quite useful."

Zuo Qingsong also nodded and said, "We are close to each other. If my aunt thinks it's not worth it, we can buy it together, so that we can share it evenly."

Finally, the two agreed to buy a stone mill together in the coming year.

Liu Yueyi had already passed by the Qin family before and already knew about the Qin family's background. Although it was not as good as the Dong family, it was also a brick house, the yard was clean, and the family had purchased fields, so she could be stable in the future. In the second half of her life, after this period of experience, the only thing she thinks about is to live in peace and stability, and she has long lost the desire to seek wealth.

In addition, the Qin family are all good-natured, and such a family will not abuse their daughter-in-law. Thinking like this, Liu Yueyi has raised expectations for the future life.

"By the way, what did you guys get when you entered the mountains this time, and you want to go to the county to sell it?" Gu Shuixiu remembered that she didn't ask these important things, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart. , Is it true that you forget when you are pregnant?

Dong Chenghu looked at Uncle Qin, Zuo Qingsong and the others, wondering if he should tell Gu Shuixiu the truth. Later, the two of them had even met tigers and black bears. How could Gu Shuixiu not hear this? ? Then he explained everything that happened after entering the mountain.

Hao Shi and Dong Yunmei were frightened and gasped, and even Liu Yueyi and Cuixi looked terrified. This was the first time they had recognized the dangers of the deep mountains.

Gu Shuixiu was as expected by Dong Chenghu, but she frowned slightly, but she didn't look frightened.

After listening to Dong Chenghu's experience, Mrs Hao immediately looked at Uncle Qin worriedly.

"The head of the family, we now have fields and land, and we have the capital to marry a daughter-in-law. In the future, we should not enter those sites and provoke those beasts."

"I don't need you to tell me, this time we were lucky, we didn't encounter such things as tigers and wolves, and I can't guarantee such good luck next time, if it is not true in the future I can't live anymore, I won't go hunting in those places again."

Worried that this place will be affected, I wonder if we can also fence off our place? It will be safer then."

Uncle Qin shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that we don't have the ability, the valley is not like Cuizhu Mountain, which is surrounded by cliffs on both sides and mountains on the other side, connected to the sea, with a natural barrier, the only way to The only exits to the mountains are the two valleys and this grove.

The two valleys have been sealed by them, and a high and thick fence has been built on the side of the grove, so there is no need to worry about interference, but only if they bought the Cuizhu Mountain and also The terrain of Cuizhu Mountain allows it.

The side is not a cliff but a continuous mountain, and if something really wants to come in, it can't be stopped. "

Hao was like a deflated ball when he heard the words. Now that the Qin family has a better life, Mrs. Hao is thinking about how to ensure the safety of the family, but Mrs. Hao never thought of leaving that valley, which is where they have lived for decades. Even if she died, she would die. there.

Liu Yueyi saw that Hao's mood was not high, her heart changed, and she hurriedly went outside and took out a torn clothes.

Everyone looked at the clothes that were so dirty that the color could not be seen, and they all looked inexplicable.

Liu Yueyi did not hide it, in front of everyone, she tore out a piece of rag from the inner layer of the ragged clothes, and took out a small purse inside.

The fabric of the purse was obviously much more delicate, and Liu Yueyi poured out all the contents of the purse.

Everyone was surprised.

"This... this is a golden leaf?" Uncle Qin looked at the golden leaf with a probing face.

"My mother! It's the first time in my life that I see gold, and it's gold leaves!" Hao's face was full of obsession, but not greed.

Liu Yueyi smiled and said, "Father-in-law said that this is a golden leaf. When something happened to the Liu family, there were signs. I was used to being careful, so I made a plan a long time ago. There is a mezzanine inside the clothes to hide things, after the Liu family accident, all our silk and satin were confiscated, but no one wants this coarse cloth clothes, so I wear them all the time."
