The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold

Chapter 159: The Pocket of Melon Seeds Disappeared

"Wow, there are so many people, is there going to be a wedding at home?"

This person is a gossipy old woman in the village. She likes to speak in a sarcastic tone, and nice words sound distorted when they come out of her mouth.

She walked straight into the Qin family's yard without being greeted or paying any attention.

As a result, no one in the yard paid any attention to her. She didn't feel embarrassed. She waved her hands twice to regain her composure and smiled again, as if the person who had just spoken was not her.

"Sister Qin, this must be your new daughter-in-law, she's so pretty!"

His tone was much better now.

She almost hit Jiang in the face when she spoke. Jiang was frightened and felt disgusted because the smell of this old woman's breath was really bad.

However, considering that she was exaggerating as his daughter-in-law, he did not show any displeasure.

"Yes."

"I'm not saying anything bad about Sister Qin, but we are all neighbors. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You are really mean. Your family is going to have a wedding, but you didn't even inform us. I could have come over to ask for a glass of wedding wine! Hahaha..."

The gossipy old woman spoke in a very familiar manner. She dragged the small stool that Jiang had originally been sitting on over and sat on it herself. She also reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds from the melon seed plate on the small table next to her, and threw three or five of them directly into her mouth, cracking them.

Her lips were moving with loud crunching sounds, and she kept spitting out melon seed shells. Within three seconds, she would throw three or five more into her mouth. She never chewed the melon seeds.

Seeing that everyone in the yard was looking at her, she hurriedly put the melon seeds in her pocket. This pocket was specially sewed by her on the hem of her clothes so that she could have a place to put wild fruits when she went up the mountain.

She rolled up her sleeves and was about to help Jiang with the work.

Jiang was plucking chicken feathers, preparing to eat it later. When she saw the nagging woman reaching out her hand, she simply stood up and took the basin away.

Just kidding, let him get his hands on it. Then I will have to stay at his house for lunch today. This chicken is not enough for his family, how can I give it to others?

"no need."

Originally, two chickens were not enough for his family to eat, so how could he dare let her touch them? If he let this nagging woman touch them, he was really afraid that she would stay at home and demand to eat with them, and there would be no way she could get free food and drinks.

Besides, his family is not familiar with this nagging old woman. It can be said that everyone in the family hates her and has never spoken to her.

Because this old woman is extremely gossipy, she can make something out of nothing, as if it were true. A lot of the gossip in the village is mostly due to her.

"Sister Qin, please don't be polite, I'm free.

It will take you a long time to clean up these two chickens by yourself. I work quickly, so you don't have to be polite!"

The nagging old woman seemed not to understand that Jiang was refusing. As if Jiang was being polite to her, she insisted on chasing after her to help her clean up the chickens.

"No need, it's getting late. Why don't you go home and cook? Don't you guys have lunch?"

"Hey, we can't eat three meals a day like your family, and every meal is so delicious. We only eat two meals a day, and every meal is liquid. We don't even eat now."

"Oh, then you should go home. I really don't need your help. It's not good for you to stay here. We will have dinner soon."

Seeing that she was thick-skinned, Jiang simply said it directly, and her meaning could not be more obvious.

No matter how thick-skinned the gossipy old woman was, she couldn't hold it in anymore when being stared at by everyone in the yard. She felt annoyed and thought that Jiang was too stingy. It was just two chickens!

"Haha, well, your family is having a wedding tomorrow, right? I'll come to the wedding tomorrow to drink."

The gossipy old woman was afraid that the Qin family would not let her come, so after she finished speaking, she quickly slipped out of the Qin family's courtyard, thinking that if they came tomorrow, they would have no excuse because no one would stop them.

Just for these two pheasants today and the prey they bring down from the mountain from time to time, she will definitely come tomorrow.

"Okay, then let me see what a gift is. This is the first time my family has a wedding since I was a child.

I heard that lady just now said that she wanted to give two taels of silver. You are really generous!

But don't worry, I won't be embarrassed to accept it. She is so sincere, I can't let her down."

Qin Zhongyue followed the gossipy old woman out of the courtyard and spoke loudly.

Those who came to watch the fun and those who wanted to find out how the Qin family grew vegetables heard it and looked at the gossipy old woman in surprise.

She actually wanted to give the Qin family two taels of silver as a gift!

It is really very generous and magnanimous.

Some of them are also holding weddings in the next two days, and they are all thinking about whether they should invite the gossipy old woman, and whether they can also get two taels of silver?

Not to mention two taels, even two hundred wen would be fine.

Immediately, several people who usually had contact with the gossipy old woman came to the house, invited her to their homes for wedding banquets, and complimented her on her generosity.

The gossipy old woman stopped pretending and said immediately that it was not true and she would not go to the Qin family to attend the wedding tomorrow.

With that much money, can't she buy her own meat?

Those people came with high hopes but left disappointed.

After everyone had left, the gossipy old woman remembered that her main purpose of going to the Qin family today was to ask how they grew vegetables, and it would be best if she could get the secret to killing insects.

Now I don’t dare to go to the Qin family, for fear that Qin Zhongyue will ask for two taels of silver. After all, that evil star dares to do anything and will beat people up if he says so.

She went there before because she saw everything in the Qin family’s yard and the melon seeds smelled so good that she forgot about the evil star. If she was asked to go again now, she really didn’t have the courage.

Thinking of the melon seeds, she smiled again. Today's work was not in vain, as she still had a handful of melon seeds in her pocket.

I reached into my pocket, but nothing came out?!

Take it again.

Still nothing, my pocket is empty.

No way, she clearly put a lot of it into her pockets, how could there be nothing left?

Could it be that the pocket is leaking?

The gossipy old woman didn't believe it and turned her pockets inside out.

No! Nothing!

"How can it be?

I just installed one."

She smacked her lips twice, and her mouth still had the fragrance of melon seeds.

I managed to grab a handful with great difficulty, I can't do that!

She couldn't sleep tonight because she couldn't find the handful of melon seeds.

However, as soon as she went out, she was blocked by several people at the door.

"Hahaha……"

Qin Zhongyue repeated the story based on the system, saying that the nagging old woman was looking for melon seeds like a headless fly, and she couldn't stop laughing.

Because of the gossipy old woman, those who were going to come to the Qin family to inquire about the news all went back. They were not so shameless. An hour later, when the Qin family had finished their meal, they came back.

"Brother Qin, I am sorry to bother you. I came here out of necessity. You know that I have a sick old woman in my house.

I reclaimed some wasteland, hoping to grow some vegetables and sell them to earn some money to buy medicine. However, as soon as the vegetables started growing, they became lifeless. One day, they were full of bugs and I could never catch them all.

But I looked at the vegetable gardens inside and outside your yard, they are all good and there are no bugs.

Can I ask you something?"

The person who came this time was an old man, and he stated his purpose directly.
