Parents are busy farming

Zhang Gaoyi had just come out of the Ye family. Today, his master taught him a new set of boxing techniques. He and Ye Zifen were already exhausted.

Villager A: "Look, he doesn't know it yet! I don't know what he will do after he finds out about it! Hey! What a sin!"

Villager B: "What should I do? He is still very good. What does his mother do have to do with him? Besides, there is Old Man Zhang!"

Villager A: “After all, it’s his mother you’re talking about!”

Villager B: "What's wrong with my mother? My mother can't do such immoral things!"

Villager A: "Okay... okay, he's looking at us."

The two men pretending to whisper hurried away.

Zhang Gaoyi found that everyone who saw him today looked at him with strange eyes.

He wanted to go directly to his sister's house, but walked towards his own house in doubt.

As a result, I saw my mother sitting on the ground crying at the door of her house.

He walked over in a few steps and helped her up.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang Wang had already sorted out her clothes.

"What's going on? What did you do to make dad angry?" Zhang Gaoyi frowned, with some impatience in his tone.

"I...I..." Mrs. Zhang Wang hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly, or I'll leave." Zhang Gaoyi threatened.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard that he was leaving, she immediately became anxious.

He said loudly: "I stole steamed buns for your brother and your father discovered it!"

Because Zhang Wang’s voice was very loud, people eavesdropping around heard every word.

I thought: ‘Oh! It turns out that Old Man Zhang beat her because of this incident! They thought it was Mrs. Zhang who was stealing from a man, but Old Man Zhang had caught her and beat her! It seemed that they had misunderstood, and the original rumor was finally broken. ’

After Zhang Gaoyi heard this, he was speechless. He jumped over the wall and entered the house, opened the door and let his mother into the house.

As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he saw his younger brother holding a piece of cloth on his forehead.

So he frowned and asked again: "What's going on?"

Zhang Gaowu no longer cried, but still sobbed.

"Falled off the kang and broke his head!" Old man Zhang was sitting on the table eating steamed buns and did not see Mrs. Zhang Wang who came in.

"Then quickly find a doctor to take a look at him! You can't just use a piece of cloth to get rid of the problem!" Zhang Gaoyi went over and untied the piece of cloth.

As a result, I saw the ashes of burned cotton on it.

(Local earthworks, accidentally bleeding and breaking the skin, burned the cotton to ashes, and then sprinkled the ashes on the wound.)

Maybe Zhang Gaoyi's movements were too big and hurt Zhang Gaowu, or maybe he was still scared, so Zhang Gaowu burst into tears again.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Wang quickly stepped forward to hug Zhang Gaowu and coaxed her softly.

"Gao Wu doesn't cry, Gao Wu doesn't cry."

Only then did Old Man Zhang look back, and when he saw Mrs. Zhang Wang, he immediately became angry.

"Put Gao Wu down, go back to your original home, and find your son. This family doesn't need you in the future!"

Old man Zhang threw the peeled steamed buns on the basket, walked over, picked up Zhang Gaowu and handed them to Zhang Gaoyi.

He took Zhang Wang and walked out.

As soon as Zhang Wang saw the situation, she sat down on the ground and cried: "I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me this time, dad! I will never give him food again!"

"Then you want to give him something else? My family is not rich. It can barely afford food and drink for the whole family. I can no longer raise a son for you." Old man Zhang said through gritted teeth.

"No... I don't dare to take things from home anymore. I only dared to get Gao Yi some food because he wasn't at home to eat. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to say anything!"

Zhang Wangshi was really scared this time. He could feel that Old Man Zhang was not joking.

When Zhang Gaoyi heard that there was something about him, he suddenly thought of the meal at Zifen Mutton Soup Restaurant, and Jane didn't want to talk anymore.

He carried Zhang Gaowu, who was still crying, to the county seat.

Old man Zhang watched his eldest son carrying his younger son away and wanted to follow him, but was held by Zhang Wang's hand.

"Promise me that you will never see him again in the future, and I will forgive you for this one time, and get out of here next time." Old man Zhang pointed at Mrs. Zhang's nose and said.

"I swear, I will never give him anything from home again, otherwise I will be kicked out!" Mrs. Zhang Wang raised her right hand and swore with three fingers.

She was still careful. She didn't say she couldn't see her son, nor did she say she wouldn't help him. She only said she wouldn't take anything from home.

Old man Zhang snorted coldly and wanted to chase Zhang Gaoyi, but when he came outside the door, his son was nowhere to be seen.

He only stood at the door for a while and then went home.

When Zhang Gaoyi returned home holding the re-bandaged Zhang Gaowu, the house had quieted down.

He put Gao Wu on the kang, turned around and walked to his sister's house.

Mrs. Zhang Wang watched Zhang Gaoyi leave without saying a word, and was about to call him, but when she saw the warning look in Old Man Zhang's eyes, she immediately dared not speak.

After having lunch, Zi Zifen came to Mu Hongzhou's door and knocked on the door.

Mu Hongzhou opened the door and immediately let her in when he saw it was her.

"What's the matter?" Mu Hongzhou asked Ye Zifen as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Master, do you know anyone who is particularly good at gambling?" Ye Zifen asked cautiously.

Mu Hongzhou looked at her sideways while drinking tea.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Hongzhou asked without answering.

So Ye Zifen told Wang Tingmei's husband about gambling.

Mu Hongzhou thought of the painful look of his two apprentices that day and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to get Wang Tingmei's sixty acres of dowry!" Ye Zifen said coldly.

"Okay, don't worry about it. You guys will train on your own first, and I'll be out for a while."

After Mu Hongzhou finished speaking, he packed up two pieces of clothes and left Ye's house.

Two days later, a handsome young man appeared in the county gambling house. This young man spent money like gold, and many people wanted to gamble with him!

In the end, the luckiest person was Wang Tingmei’s husband.

Not to mention he won a hundred taels with just one move.

The next day he still won a hundred taels.

Ten days later, he lost all the money he had won in these days.

"Little brother, will you come again tomorrow?" he asked.

"Aren't you out of money?" the young man asked with a nice frown.

"I...I don't have any money, so what else can I do?" he said.

"Okay, come back tomorrow!" the young man said.

Wang Hongmei's husband was very unwilling because he could see that this boy was just lucky today, otherwise he would not have lost.

So when he returned home, he stole Wang Tingmei's most precious land deed.

As you can imagine, the land deed was lost in one fell swoop the next day.

Because the young man said, "If we want to play, let's play with the big one."

So he put down all the one thousand taels of silver he had on him.

Wang Tingmei's husband was originally unwilling, but when he saw the white money, he couldn't control his heart.

Then he slapped the title deed on the table.

When the young man shook out three six leopards.

He broke into cold sweat. He wanted to say no more, but there were already many gamblers and thugs from gambling houses around him.

So he lost, and he lost Wang Tingmei's dowry land.
