"Zhu'er, why did you bring so many vegetables?"

Zhou felt very strange. In the morning, Zhu'er told her that she would follow Tie Zhu's oxcart to the county town. She only thought that Zhu'er was going to the county town with Tie Zhu. Why did she bring so many vegetables when she came back?

No matter what time of year, vegetables are very expensive, Mrs. Zhou took the big and small bags from Li Yuezhu and asked strangely: "Zhu'er, tell me the truth, where did you get these vegetables?"

"Mom, why are you so serious? Where's Xiao An? Please ask Xiao An to come out and eat apricots."

Zhou saw Li Yuezhu's eyes dodge and became more serious. Li Yuezhu, who was about to run away after being pulled away, asked again.

"Zhu'er, tell me clearly where did you get these things?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide, Li Yuezhu sighed and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, do you still dare to steal Zhu'er? Today I went to the county with Uncle Tiezhu and helped a noble son. Uncle Tiezhu also met him.

That young master, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Tiezhu.”

Zhou was doubtful and glanced at Li Yuezhu. It was strange that Zhu'er always met the noble master every time she entered the city. Then she thought about it and realized that Zhu'er had no reason to lie to a mother like her, so she gave up.

Xiao An ran out and saw his sister bringing him apricots. He cheered happily: "That's great, sister. I have apricots to eat."

"My sister saw that Xiao An was greedy two days ago, so she brought it back from the county town for Xiao An today." Li Yuezhu pinched Xiao An's nose: "Go and wash it quickly."

After driving Xiao An away, his mother went to the house to cook. Li Yuezhu sorted the things he had brought and then went to the kitchen to help his mother.

"Mom, why is there no movement in the yard in front? Has the old lady changed her target?"

It was strange when Li Yuezhu arrived. When he passed by the door of Wang's house, the door was closed and it was extremely quiet.

"Hey, don't mention it. News came from Changwei Village today that a body was found by the river. It was said that it floated down from the upper reaches. I asked if there is any shortage of people in our village."

While peeling the winter melon with a knife, Mrs. Zhou sighed and said to Li Yuezhu that Mrs. Zhou had also considered it. Zhu'er was already ten years old and it was time for her to understand some things. In the village, children get married early, at the age of fifteen.

Someone will come to discuss marriage at the age of 20. From now on, Zhu'er will also be taught some principles of life.

"Then what? Has the body been identified now?"

Zhou nodded silently: "The corpse had been soaked in the river for two or three days, and its face was soaked. Daxi and Dayong went to identify it together, and found that it was Li Dafu floating in the river."

"What?" Li Yuezhu was helping Zhou wash the dishes. When he heard the news, he almost dropped the bowl in his hand to the ground: "Which Li Dafu?"

"There are several Li Dafus in our village, but isn't that the one? Li Cuihua's eldest son."

"How did he die? Was he drowned?" Li Yuezhu opened his eyes wide and frowned, feeling very strange.

"Yes, I heard people say that he didn't have any wounds on his body. He just drowned alive. This evil man also has his evil retribution. Think about it, the water in our happy river is not deep, and there are some wild boys swimming in it. He

This living adult just drowned if he said he was drowning."

Li Yuezhu looked at her mother with a frown and a look of regret on her face. Her mother was just too kind. If Li Dafu had been alive, he might have done something evil.

However, there are still many doubts about this matter. There is such a small river next to Lijia Village. Most boys have bathed in this river. Even if Li Dafu doesn't know how to swim, as his mother said, the river is not deep.

, how on earth did he drown?

"Then what does Li Dafu do when he has nothing to do when he goes to the river?"

"What else can he do? He just goes to the river to catch fish. I've seen him several times."

Li Yuezhu nodded clearly. If Li Dafu died, the old lady would still have to die of grief.

"After the old lady heard the news, she felt like she was going crazy. She should be crying at home now. Zhu'er must take a detour when he sees the old lady in the future." Mrs. Zhou put the winter melon into the pot and told Li Yuezhu,

She must take the time to ask Tiezhu if he has seen the noble man Zhu'er mentioned.

"Humph, it's all because their family has committed so many crimes. They have offended all the young and old in the village, and some are arrogant. They must be punished now." After listening to what his mother said, Li Yuezhu washed his hands of the bowl.

Li Yuezhu still feels very sorry that Li Dafu died. He was really taken advantage of. If Li Dafu had not died, Li Yuezhu would definitely not let him have an easy time.

"Mom, sister, the apricots are washed, come and try them quickly." The one who has the least worries in the family is the little one.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and Mrs. Zhou was sitting by the bed embroidering her embroidery. Li Yuezhu took out the sewing box she asked for from her arms and handed it to Mrs. Zhou like a treasure.

"Mom, what do you think this is?"

Zhou took a closer look and saw that it was a new sewing box. She was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, where did this come from?"

"Mom, don't worry about where this comes from. You can use the bamboo if it is given to you." Li Yuezhu squatted beside Mr. Zhou, raising his head and smiling. It seemed that his mother liked this little gift very much.

Seeing her daughter smiling like a flower, Mrs. Zhou lamented that her daughter had grown up and knew how to love others.

Li Yuezhu rarely had such warm moments before, and no one cared about her wholeheartedly. Only since she came to Zhou's side did she feel maternal love.

"Mom, I have something to discuss with you." Li Yuezhu also sat on the bed and looked at her brother who was playing with bamboo dragonflies in the yard. She turned her head and continued to say to her mother.

"I want to go up the mountain tomorrow. The young man on the mountain saved the lives of three of us two days ago. I want to go up the mountain to thank him."

"That's right. Mom didn't think carefully. She should have gone up to thank people a long time ago." Mrs. Zhou lit the candle, picked up the embroidery and continued to embroider: "Mother will be with you tomorrow. You should prepare some thank-you gifts later.

With."

"Mom, I'll go by myself tomorrow. There has been no work in the fields for the past two days, so you should rest at home. Besides, that noble man is a young man, not much older than me. Don't feel uncomfortable if you go."

"That's right. My mother has prepared something for you. You can take it with you tomorrow." Mrs. Zhou put down the needle and thread in her hand as she spoke.

"Mom, that noble young master has never seen anything, and our things are not rare to others, so stop working."

Li Yuezhu mainly thought that there was no need to go to such trouble, and she also wanted to test the young master. The night she went up the mountain, she exposed too many flaws. The two children following her would not think much about it. The young master took a look.

Knowing that he was not an ordinary person, she had to go up and find out more about him.

"Hey, the child has grown up and doesn't listen to mother anymore. It's okay, okay, if you don't want to take it with you, don't take it with you. You should also be careful when going up the mountain. Don't slip."
