Chapter 279 Gossip

However, although he appreciated it, the old doctor still extended his hand and said: "Your wife also has five cents."

This is the most basic consultation fee, which is not much compared to what a doctor in a big drug store in the county charges.

The situation was better than he expected. Zhoulang happily counted out forty cents and gave it to him, then went out to take a look at the already darkening sky.

He glanced at the setting sun that had not completely disappeared on the horizon, held his waist and squatted down to coax Manbao, "Manbao, would you like to sleep with me and your fourth sister-in-law tonight? Let me tell you, Aunt Fang's house has many good things.

Food..."

"Just say you don't want to go home and just want to stay overnight." Man Bao is not a fool. How can you not understand what he means?

Although Man Bao felt that her own bed was more comfortable, but thinking that she would use Fourth Brother as an example in the future, she reluctantly nodded and said: "Let's stay overnight, but Fourth Brother, why should we stay here?"

There's obviously enough time to go home, but even if it's a little dark when I get home, I'm not afraid.

Zhou Erlang looked around, then hummed to Man Bao: "Your fourth brother's fall cannot be in vain, so I have to have a good talk with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Mrs. Fang glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to use my parents as swordsmen. But the old Jia family is very extreme. They are fellow villagers. They often go to my mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. What did my family say?"

Why can’t I just find some wild mushrooms?”

"That's right, that's right. I'm not cutting down the good trees on their mountain. I'm just looking for some game. It's not like they grew it."

Anyway, his family was so stingy, so he had to talk about it. Humph, it's not like he had nothing to do with Dali Village, his in-laws' family was here.

So the couple led Manbao around the corner and headed to Fang's house.

The Fang family's house is right behind the butcher stall, in the middle of the busiest street, which is great.

Although it was getting dark, the yard of Fang's house was still lively, with many villagers gathering gossiping.

Seeing the little daughter of the Fang family leading her husband home, they were all stunned for a moment, "Why is Er Niu back?"

Mother Fang was laughing so hard when she heard this. She was startled when she heard this. She quickly went out to see her daughter. She saw that her daughter was accompanied by her son-in-law, and she was accompanied by the Zhou family's baby Pimple Man Bao. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Why didn't you come back earlier? Have you eaten? Mom will heat up the food for you."

It is impossible to heat rice. How can there be leftover rice at home, but it can be cooked freshly.

Zhou Lang said quickly: "Mom, we have already eaten, don't bother. I just fell down, and my parents were a little worried, so after they had eaten, they asked me to come over and see the old doctor."

Only then did Fang's mother realize that Zhou Lang was walking with a limp, and she quickly asked with concern: "Where did you fall? What did the old doctor say?"

Man Bao moved a stool for him obediently. Zhou Lang gave her an approving look, then he held his waist and carefully sat on the stool like a woman who was eight months pregnant, and sighed: "

It was a good thing that I was thrown in the mountains, otherwise I might have been hacked to death."

The neighbors who were thinking that their daughter and son-in-law would go home and didn't want to stay any longer stopped immediately, turned around and sat down, and asked enthusiastically, "What do you mean, who dares to chop you? Don't you want to go to jail?"

It's impossible to go to jail. Who would go to the police for such a small thing?

You can solve it at home.

But the neighbor was right. Who dared to chop Zhou Lang? There were six brothers in his family, and there were also many uncles and family members. He really chopped him off...

Everyone was excited and stared at Zhou Lang with even more interest.

Zhou Lang sighed and told him how he went to the mountains to look for wild mushrooms today and was driven out.

He sighed: "I also know that the mountains are the two brothers of their Jia family. They don't let us go up the mountain to find game. We just won't go there next time. But they didn't let us go this time. They just picked up the hoe and chased us.

When we came up, my fifth brother and I were frightened."

Manbao squatted aside and listened with great interest. Although she had already heard it once, she found that the fourth brother's statement was completely different when she listened again. It was a completely new story.

If Man Bao gets up, this is what Keke said, she has to judge

Are the patients telling lies and truths?

What the fourth brother said at home must be true, but what he said here may not be entirely lies.

Zhoulang looked melancholy, held his waist and said: "It scared me at the time. I thought I had done something heinous. I turned around and wanted to explain to them, but they kicked me out after just a few words.

When we came up, I panicked and ran a little faster, but it just rained last night and the mountain was a little slippery, so I fell down immediately."

"At that time half of my body was numb and I was so scared. Oh, why do you think they didn't want to talk to me?"

When Fang's mother heard this, she was furious. She slapped the table and said, "Is it true that people from the old Jia family are chasing you?"

Zhou Lang nodded affirmatively.

Mother Fang stared at Zhou Lang and asked, "Are you just looking for game?"

"That's for sure," Zhou Lang said unjustly: "Mom, the most numerous pine trees and some twisted miscellaneous trees on the mountains are all kinds of trees. If I'm not looking for game, what else can I do? It's impossible.

Are you going to steal wood?"

He said: "My family now has five people who divide the fields, and there is no shortage of wood. It is impossible for me to collect firewood in the summer, and it is fine to collect firewood on the mountain at the entrance of our village. The people in our village are generous, as long as it is not chopped

For the best wood, other trees can be cut down at will.”

When everyone thinks about it, the Zhou family is large, and there are many mountains to divide it into. If they want wood, they can just find it on the top of their mountain.

Besides, the Zhou family's house has been built a long time ago, so there is no need for wood at this time.

For everyone, Koufentian is a place that provides good wood. If you are not stealing good wood, then no matter what you do in the mountains, it will basically not violate local ethics.

Fang's mother got an accurate reply and was furious. She slapped the table and said, "This is too vicious. Doesn't their family cut enough firewood from our mountain every year? They go to our mountain to dig wild vegetables every spring. I

I never said no, so why can’t my son-in-law go to the mountains to find some game?"

Other villagers also agreed, "This is too stingy. The mountain they used to live in was not far from the entrance of the village. They finally replaced it because of the pine trees in the mountains. Over the years, they have been collecting firewood in the winter and digging wild vegetables in the spring.

It was dug from our family's mountain."

"That's right, let's not talk about spring. When we are gathering firewood in winter, you say that you, a charcoal burner, go to our mountains to grab firewood from us instead of using the charcoal you burn at home or the firewood you cut. Does this make sense?

"

"I have long disliked them. They burn charcoal not far behind my house every year. No matter how many times I tell them, it doesn't work. The smell of smoke is terrible. In the past two years, my family has often been sick. I think it's...

Because they burn charcoal."
