Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 333: Harboring escaped slaves?

 In Broken Gold Beach, it is still as peaceful and beautiful as before.

Because the weather was really nice, the old lady picked a dustpan of eggplants from the yard behind and planned to pickle the eggplants with garlic.

This is a pickle that people in the North like to eat.

 Choose small eggplants that are four to five inches long, wash them well, steam them in a pot until soft, slice them open in the middle, and let them dry for a while.

 Crush more garlic, add minced coriander and fine salt, and mix evenly.

 Then spread the garlic paste evenly and stuff the eggplants.

 Finally, find a small clay pot, wash it and dry it in the sun to make sure there is no raw water or oily smell, and then put the eggplant in it.

 Combine a layer of eggplant with a layer of fine salt, seal it and store it in a cool place. It will be ready to eat after half a month.

 After marinating, it is a good companion for rice whether served with porridge or noodles.

People here in Xindu have light tastes, and they definitely don’t want to eat such pickles, but here in Suijintan, every household comes from the North, and their tastes can never change.

 At the end of autumn, we rush to pickle some. In winter, when cats have a poor appetite, they rely on these small pickles.

Jiayin followed grandma in front of and behind her, helping to pass some things and help, which was very useful.

　　This made the old lady smile and praise, "My Fu Niu has become sensible just after her birthday. She really looks like a big child! She used to make trouble, but now she is a good helper for grandma."

Jiayin was praised, and she smiled with white teeth and narrowed her eyes. She was about to show off a few words, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her saliva almost flowed out uncontrollably, making the old lady laugh. I can barely straighten my back!

At this moment, Madam Hui came over with a basket of eggplants, "Auntie, I'm here!"

Mrs. Li was most worried about Huiniang's big belly. She ran forward to take the basket and said angrily, "Why don't you just rest at home? Why are you running around?"

Huiniang smiled and said, "These days, you won't let Fu Niu go over to study and write with me. I'm too bored to be idle. I heard that you were steaming garlic and eggplant, so I wanted to join in the fun and pickle a jar of it too. She is used to serving food to her husband in the army, and now he has a heavy taste. "

"Just shout outside the wall of the back yard and I will bring you a jar." The old lady helped her sit on a chair under the eaves.

Jiayin quickly ran to the house to get a cotton pad and stuffed it behind the master's waist, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

Hui Niang rubbed Jiayin's little head and saw that there were only two grandsons in the yard, so she asked: "Where are Mrs. Cui, Sister-in-law Qiong, and Dongmei, why aren't they here?"

The old lady replied: "Jinrou went back early in the morning, and there are a lot of things going on in her village. Because Fu Niu is celebrating her birthday, it would be nice to come over for a few days to have some fun. The Marquis found a nanny for Fu Niu. Ye Shan went to help pick people up, and Dongmei took this time to dry out the bedding and wash clothes. "

“We, Fu Niu, are blessed. Our family is pampering us, and the Marquis is hurting her like a ball in his eye.” Madam Hui was envious and couldn’t help but touch her belly, hoping that her child would be so popular in the future.

The old lady was peeling the stem of the tomato in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just look at the way Dayong loves you now. He holds it in his mouth for fear of melting and holds it in his hand for fear of falling. He will definitely feel pain in the future too." of a child.”

Huiniang lowered her head and smiled shyly. Just as she was about to speak, there was a commotion outside the yard.

Jiayin was very curious, so she stepped out with her short legs to watch the fun, but the old lady didn't stop her and had no choice but to follow.

Hui Niang's heartbeat accelerated for no reason. She held her waist and stood up before she was shocked by a group of people rushing in from outside the door. Her face turned pale!

The old lady at the time was in her fifties, with well-maintained skin and fair skin, but she had Sichuan lines wrinkled between her brows and her eyes were cold. She looked stern no matter how hard she looked, and could not be compared to kindness at all.

 Following her were two middle-aged women, beautiful and dignified, with gorgeous clothes.

 The one with a plump body and a relatively gentle expression, but a little thin, has a mean look on her face just like the old woman in front of her.

 Behind the three of them were a dozen stout women and maids, each holding a stick as thick as an arm and looking menacingly. The old lady was stunned and didn't understand what happened for a moment, but she still remembered that her little granddaughter was beside her, so she subconsciously stuffed the child behind her and asked sternly, "Who are you and why did you break into my house?"

At this time, Hui Niang, who was standing on the steps, suppressed her fear and shouted, "Auntie, they are the Yan family!"

 The Yan family?

 The old lady stared, realizing that things were not simple.

 Huiniang and his wife almost died when they escaped, and now the Yan family has come to the door again. They are so aggressive and have absolutely no good intentions!

 Fortunately, Uncle Zhao and the others had already squeezed in at this moment, blocking the old lady and Fu Niuer from behind.

"You are breaking into a private house without permission. Who gives you the courage?" Uncle Zhao and others were furious and shouted loudly.

When these people got off the carriage at the entrance of the village, they thought they were visitors, but as soon as they pointed at the door of Li's house, they took out sticks and rushed over.

 This is not a visitor, he is clearly a robber!

The thinner middle-aged woman raised her hand and pointed at Hui Niang on the steps, and said coldly: "National law? What do you untouchables know about national law? Isn't it a violation of national law to harbor runaway slaves from our Yan family?"

 Fugitive slave?

Mrs. Li, Uncle Zhao and others all had bad expressions on their faces. Fu Niuer rolled her eyes and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard when no one was paying attention. She happened to meet Jia An Jiaxi in front of the door.

It turned out that these two boys had eaten too much porridge in the morning. They ran out of class to pour water and saw many people entering their yard. They came back to take a look out of curiosity.

Jiayin grabbed her brothers one by one and said anxiously: "Brother, something bad has happened. The Yan family has come to **** my master, and someone is going to die! One of you goes to the valley to find someone, the more the better. The other one goes to call the second uncle. Ask your second uncle to send someone to the dock to find Uncle Yong, hurry up!"

Jia Huan Jia Xi did not hesitate at all, turned around and ran away.

At this time, there was already a commotion in the yard, and the mean woman called out to the strong women to come forward and drag Huiniang down.

Of course Mrs. Li, Uncle Zhao and others couldn't give in, and they tried their best to stop the women.

 But there were too many women. They stopped most of them, but two still went up the steps.

Huiniang protected her belly with one hand, picked up the herbal teapot on the small tea table with the other hand, and smashed it over.

 The two women were annoyed when tea was poured into their faces, so they stepped forward to tear them apart.

Jiayin was frantic with anxiety, but he was young and couldn't help at all.

 Luckily, Dongmei turned over and jumped over from the wall.

As soon as she saw this situation, she ran forward and kicked him hard.

The two women touched Huiniang's sleeves, but they were suddenly kicked away, causing Huiniang to stagger and fall to the ground!

The old lady hurriedly ran to help Huiniang and asked repeatedly, "Huiniang, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Huiniang's face was so pale that there was no blood at all. She gasped hard and comforted Mrs. Li, "Auntie, I'm fine. Let someone find your husband and come back! Husband, find your husband..."

"Okay, okay, don't worry! There are so many people in the family who will protect you. Just take care of yourself and your children. Don't worry. Don't worry!"

The old lady was scared out of her mind. Madam Hui was pregnant with two children. If something happened, it would be one corpse and three lives!
