Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 179 Married

"Go up the mountain with me in the afternoon and take advantage of the fact that it's not snowing to deal with those five unlucky things."

Li Yilong glared at Li Manping angrily and went to another room to burn another kang.

After a while, the third brother and his wife will come back to live until after the new year. The house has been unoccupied for a long time and there is moisture, so the kang must be burned in advance.

"it is good."

Li Manping nodded and followed step by step.

"Don't you have a few friends in the village? Go hang out with them instead of following me. I have a headache when I see you now, and I want to relax and clear my head."

Li Yilong chased her away, he didn't want to see her now.

Oh!

Li Manping couldn't help here, she was still an eyesore, so she had no choice but to walk out of her home, stand at the door and look blankly at the center of the village with smoke curling up in the distance.

Most of the houses in the village were concentrated there, and the chimneys on the roofs of more than half of the houses were smoking.

ah?It's already noon. It's not a good idea for her to come to the door now, as she might be secretly said to be ignorant.

But looking at the quiet courtyard behind her, and thinking about her uncle's slightly disgusted look, she didn't dare to go in now to offend him.

Forget it, go find Sister Zhou Qiao.

Li Manping trudged forward in the cold wind, wrapped in cotton clothes, and finally arrived at Zhou Qiao's house. Before she even got close, she heard Mrs. Zhou's loud voice.

"You two little bastards, where did you go to play and got covered in mud? Why don't you come here and wash yourself off?"

Li Manping raised her eyebrows. The old lady has been quite tenacious this week. She has been seriously ill and bedridden. Why does she sound so angry?

Turning around the side of the house and coming to the wide open front door, I saw Mrs. Zhou calling the two children to come over and patting the dirt on their bodies distressedly.

They are two children of about six or seven years old, one boy and one girl. They may be the twin siblings of Sister Zhou Qiao's family.

"Grandma Zhou, how are you? You're still in good health. I'm here to see Sister Zhou Qiao. Is she there?"

Li Manping stood at the door but did not go in, and reminded Mrs. Zhou of her presence.

When she saw Li Manping at the door, her face immediately dropped and she turned away as if she hadn't seen him.

"Grandma, it's Sister Manping. She's here to see the eldest sister."

"The child is talking nonsense, I don't know her, and you are not allowed to play with her, you know."

Mrs. Zhou refuted the little boy's words and reiterated her old words about not letting the two children get close to Li Manping.

whispering sound!

"Grandma Zhou? Your ears are not working properly. Can't you hear my voice? Why don't you let me, Uncle Zhou, take you to the county hospital?"

Li Manping deliberately talked nonsense to make her angry, and she and the old woman became enmity.

Ever since Zhou Laoer was taken away, Mrs. Zhou had disliked the whole Li family and thought it was their fault. If they hadn't shown off how rich their family was, her son wouldn't have been interested.

Knowing that I can't save my youngest son,

After Zhou Laoer was taken away at the beginning, she cried and made trouble at the door of Li's house every day, saying that Zhou Laoer had not succeeded and the Li family had no loss, and she begged the Li family to show their favor.

But Zhou Laoer's crime this time was not serious, but he interfered with something he shouldn't have, and was severely punished by his superiors and sent to be reformed.

With no hope left, Mrs. Zhou yelled at the Li family, or left nonsense messages and curses behind her back, especially targeting the Li Manping family.

Li Yixing's temperament was somewhat aloof like a scholar. He didn't bother arguing with an old lady, so he didn't care. When she was angry for a while, it would be over after a while.

Yang Qin was almost as mild-tempered, but Li Manping, because of her young age, was completely at odds with her.

She imitated the way Sister Zhou Qiao quarreled, never admitting defeat verbally, and would not tolerate being next to her just because she was an elder. Every time the two of them would quarrel, they would sometimes throw stones at each other.

"Go away, you are not welcome in my home, don't step on my land!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard Li Manping's curse on her ears, she picked up the big broom from the wall and waved it at Li Manping to drive her out of her house.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Manping hurriedly ran away without fighting her, shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Sister Zhou Qiao, are you at home? Come out and take care of your old lady. She's going crazy and hitting people again."

Li Manping didn't learn anything else in the small mountain village. She learned a lot by going up the mountain and down the river to touch loaches, quarreling and running away. She learned a lot from watching people in the village hurt each other.

Rural women do not pay attention to the importance of peace to save face. They will get angry at the smallest thing and block the door and curse. Eighteen generations of ancestors can pick out a few curses and sometimes even beat them if they are angry.

The crazy behavior is simply terrifying. They pull each other's hair, scratch their faces, and spit, but they are still very light. Sometimes they also use weapons, such as firewood, brooms, and poles.

Some people will also show weakness overtly and do evil in secret. Li Manping has seen it many times. During fights, there are people who secretly go to unspeakable places.

That's all. What confuses Li Manping the most is that the two parties were quarreling and fighting and using weapons, but in two days they can be seen doing farm work together in the mountains and fields, and digging wild vegetables together while talking and laughing. , collecting firewood, it’s incredible.

Li Manping also knows after seeing them a lot. When you see them quarreling and fighting in the countryside, as long as there is no hatred of life and death, you can't take them seriously. If you think that they will never interact with each other until death, you will lose. This is their unique way of emotional communication.

But there is a difference between her and Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou really regards everyone in the Li family as the enemies who caused the separation between her and her son.

"Sister Zhou Qiao, Zhou Qiao, are you at home? I'm here to find you. Come out quickly."

Li Manping was kicked out of the door by Mrs. Zhou, so she had to run a few meters away from Zhou's house and raise her voice to call someone.

Another thing Li Manping learned in the countryside is that you don't have to walk in front of her to find someone. You just need to find a higher place, form a trumpet with your hands and shout loudly.

If there is no response from one direction, change the direction. You will definitely hear a response after a while.

"Girl, please stop shouting, Zhou Qiao girl is not at Zhou's house now."

Some people saw that she was still shouting, and seemed to be really unaware, so they quickly and kindly told her that she was not there.

"Uncle Ming, where did Zhou Qiao go when he's not at home? Aren't you all in Maodong at home now? Can she still go to the fields?"

Li Manping saw that Mrs. Zhou was just staring at the entrance of the yard, so she turned around to say hello and asked her questions.

"No, girl from the Li family, don't you know? The eldest girl from the Zhou family, Zhou Qiao, is already married, in the next village."

"Sister Zhou Qiao is married! Why didn't I know when?"

Li Manping was so shocked that her voice cracked. She stared at the person who told her the news with wide eyes and repeated it again.

"You're really married, didn't you lie to me?"

"I lied to you, and you can still joke about it. She has been engaged for two years. It's almost time to get married, so just get married."

Li Manping was a little confused. Sister Zhou Qiao was engaged for two years and was still married. Why didn't she know anything? She shouldn't have.

When she came back to play with her during the Chinese New Year, I never heard her mention it.
