Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child
Chapter 20: Is it because he's old? Or because he's sloppy?
Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao and everyone else looked at Widow Li who came with Liu Lizheng.
In Mu Jiaojiao's memory, Widow Li had been living with her only mother-in-law since her husband died a few years ago.
Widow Li's mother-in-law is a powerful person and is usually very picky about her.
In her mother-in-law's eyes, it was Widow Li who killed her son after she married him, so she asked Widow Li not to remarry.
Of course, the people of the Dayu Dynasty were open-minded and women were allowed to remarry.
As for Widow Li, she has always been dishonest and the villagers dislike her very much.
This time, Mu Jiaojiao knew at a glance that she was the one fanning the flames behind the scenes.
After all, when she was dragging the wild boar home, Widow Li couldn't hide her greedy eyes.
"Li Ruhua, you just said that Xiaocao killed someone. Can you tell me what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lizheng immediately asked Widow Li behind him about the situation.
"Uncle Liu, this afternoon, when I was digging wild vegetables with Yulan, I saw Mu Xiaocao pick up a wild boar. I casually mentioned it to Liu Laosan. Who knew they would be so unkind as to come to Xiaocao's house in the middle of the night to steal meat!"
Widow Li saw that everyone was looking at her with doubtful eyes, her eyes flickered and her tone was shrill.
"Li Ruhua, what do you mean? It was you who told my husband to join you in stealing meat. Don't think I don't know about this."
Huang Juhua was not happy when she heard this, and immediately jumped up with her hands on her hips to accuse Widow Li.
When Liu Laosan heard his wife say this, he turned his face away, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You, you, you are slandering me!"
Widow Li was not intimidated by Huang Juhua's attitude.
"If I knew, why would I tell your man?"
"Humph, you told me that my third child stole some meat, and you split it 50-50 with my family. You, a slut, even tried to seduce my man so that you could get a bigger share. Don't think I don't know anything."
"Huang Juhua, you old hag, who are you calling immoral? If you keep saying that, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Widow Li rolled up her sleeves, walked forward, pointed at Huang Juhua's nose and cursed.
"Whose mouth are you tearing apart? You're doing something unbelievable and you don't want anyone to say anything about it."
Huang Juhua was not to be outdone.
As the two were arguing, Huang Juhua grabbed Widow Li's hair with one hand. Widow Li saw this and tore Huang Juhua's mouth open with her backhand.
Finally, the two men rolled on the ground and fought each other.
"Huang Juhua, stop it." Seeing this, Old Man Liu rushed forward hurriedly.
Everyone thought he was going to help Huang Juhua beat Widow Li, but he hurriedly grabbed Huang Juhua and tore Widow Li's hand.
"Liu Laosan, you old bastard with a crooked arm, are you having an affair with this little bitch?"
Huang Juhua saw that Old Man Liu was holding her hand tightly and asking Widow Li to hit her, so she started cursing.
"You...you, what nonsense are you talking about, you shrew?"
When Old Man Liu heard what Huang Juhua said, he cursed her while pretending to cover up his anger.
When Huang Juhua saw Old Man Liu like this, she was confused and kicked him a few times in anger.
Although Old Man Liu is usually timid at home, he can't stand being humiliated like this in front of outsiders.
Then he cursed and slapped Huang Juhua a few times, and then the three of them started fighting.
……
Everyone watched the two women quarreling. What was there to understand? They were just trying to steal the meat from Xiaocao's house.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Liu Lizheng was really pissed off by these bastards, and he banged the ground hard with the crutch in his hand.
They are all short-sighted and don't do their jobs properly. They only do such crooked things.
But the three of them were so angry that no one paid any attention to him.
"Hurry up and pull them apart, or someone will die!"
Seeing that his words were ignored by the people fighting, Liu Lizheng gave instructions to several strong men around him.
Although the few people didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these two families, after all, neither of them was a good person, but if someone was killed, it would be a bad ending, so they had to quickly separate them.
"Let me go, I'm going to kill this whore who's hooking up with other men."
After Huang Juhua was pulled away, she continued to struggle, and her words became more and more unreasonable.
"Come on, you old hag. If you can, let's see who kills whom."
Widow Li, with disheveled hair, was being dragged back while she raised her foot to continue beating Huang Juhua, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen, and whose mouth had several bloody scratches from her nails.
"Behave yourself, or I'll hand you all over to the authorities."
Liu Lizheng was really angry and threatened several people when he saw this.
When the three heard this, they were embarrassed and didn't dare to make trouble anymore. Liu Lizheng was a good man, but if they really made him angry, he would really hand them over to the authorities.
No matter how much you quarrel or make a fuss, jail time is not fun!
On the other hand, Mu Jiaojiao's family was stunned by the development of this matter.
"How come people from this godforsaken place can have such a blast? Widow Li is even hooking up with Old Man Liu. What's she trying to achieve?"
Mu Jiaojiao whispered gossip in Xia Jin's ear, her eyes filled with the excitement of having gotten into something big.
"Is it because he's old? Because he's slovenly?"
Mu Jiaojiao ate the melon and commented on it.
"Well, maybe."
After hearing what Mu Jiaojiao said, Xia Jin chuckled and responded in kind.
A gentle and pleasant voice rang in Mu Jiaojiao's ears. Mu Jiaojiao felt a discomfort in her ears. She glanced at him and rubbed her ears with her hands.
As for Xia Zhao, seeing that his parents were watching the show with great interest, he went to pick up his brother who had just woken up from the bed with a frown on his face.
After Liu Lizheng saw that the three people had finally quieted down, he said to Mu Jiaojiao:
"Little Cao girl, and Xiao Cao's family, this matter is indeed the fault of Widow Li and Liu Laosan's family. It's too late today. I will send a few people to give you an explanation tomorrow, okay?"
Liu Lizheng looked at the sick, weak and young members of Mu Jiaojiao's family and sighed.
"Sure, Uncle Liu."
Mu Jiaojiao had no objection when she heard this. It was the middle of the night and the cold wind was still blowing. She really didn't want to get entangled with these people.
Doesn’t a warm bed smell good?
"Uncle Liu, my wife did trap a wild boar, and she has already dealt with it today.
Originally, what my wife meant was that everyone had taken such good care of her over the years, and since she had received such a good thing, she should share some of it.
It's just that it's late today. I originally wanted to tell Uncle Liu tomorrow, but who would have thought this would happen."
After listening to Mu Jiaojiao, Xia Jin said to Liu Lizheng and the villagers
"My wife and I have discussed this tonight. If any of the villagers want to eat meat, they can come to our house and buy pork at half the price in town. Usually, the cheapest pork in town is 100 coins per catty, which means that the villagers only need to give us 50 coins per catty of pork.
It's just that each family can only buy less than two kilograms. Although the wild boar looks big, there won't be much meat left after throwing away the inedible parts. I hope the villagers can understand."
Then Xia Jin glanced at Mu Jiaojiao, and then spoke to the people present in a pleasant manner.
Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him but did not refute his presumptuous decision.
Mu Jiaojiao knew that her cheap husband was trying to gain favor with the villagers. Although she didn't care much about what others thought of her, she didn't dislike Xia Jin's behavior, and even felt a little inexplicably moved in her heart.
"Little Grass girl, can you really buy a pound of meat for fifty coins?"
When Ge Dagen from the village heard this, he couldn't believe it and asked Mu Jiaojiao again. He knew that Xia Jin was bought back and was afraid that Xia Jin could not make the decision for Mu Jiaojiao.
"Well, what Jin means is what our family means."
Mu Jiaojiao said without hesitation.
When Xia Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. His wife called him Ajin again!
