[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral
Work related
Very well-behaved, the little girl didn't cry when she was full.Zhang Zirui put her on the bed and let the Pingan brothers play in the yard by themselves.He drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and then took the time to practice, otherwise he would not have the energy to deal with the younger sister getting up again later.One might get dizzy, and his fame will be ruined.
It sucks to have a dilapidated body.Zhang Zirui, who has always been gentle, was made to swear by his broken body.
With home in mind, Wen and Wu brothers hurried home after shopping.
When I got home, I saw Ping An's two little ones playing in the yard.
"Big brother, second brother, you are back." Seeing his brother coming back, the two little guys jumped on him happily.
Zhang Zirui, who was practicing, heard the sound, and came out of the house holding his little girl who was either gnawing her hands or feet, and she was having fun.
Wen Qiwu: "Brother."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui."
Zhang Zirui: "I'm back so soon."
"Well, we still need to prepare sacrifices and go up the mountain in the afternoon." Wen Qiwen put the sack in front of the stove, and said to Wen Qiwu: "Second brother, go and light the fire first, I'll go inside and have a look."
"En." Wen Qiwu nodded and entered the kitchen.
The two Pingan brothers followed him closely and kept asking what good things they had bought.
Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen entered the house, Wen Qiwen wanted to hug the younger sister, but Zhang Zirui refused.
"Little sister, let me watch. You guys still need to prepare sacrifices."
Wen Qiwen handed him the pawn ticket and money.
Zhang Zirui didn't answer. "You take it, make two sets of clothes for your younger siblings, and two pairs of shoes. It's a little bit of my brother-in-law's kindness to mend their bodies. You can keep the rest yourself."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui, there is still money at home, you should take this."
Seeing that he insisted on not accepting him, Zhang Zirui said in a serious tone: "Ah Wen, I am your husband-in-law, do you treat me as an outsider if you are so polite to me?"
"No, Brother Rui will be my husband-in-law for the rest of his life, so I'll just keep it." Wen Qiwen knew about Brother Rui's kindness, and he was embarrassed to spend any money in the family. After all, he was married, so he no longer decline.
The Wen and Wu brothers of the Wen family are very nimble. One boils water for cooking, and the other cleans up the younger siblings.At noon, I hastily drank the porridge left in the morning, packed the sacrifices, and was ready to go.
Zhang Zirui watched the brothers and sisters set off, so he had no choice but to send them to the door.He also wanted to kowtow to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but with his current situation, it would be a problem to go one way, let alone back and forth.
☆、Professional black
Watching the children leave, Zhang Zirui closed the door, went back to the house, offered incense to Wen's parents, kowtowed three more times, and said to the tablet of Wen's parents: "Father, Father, I am Zhang Zirui, Ah Wen's husband-in-law. , you two don’t worry, I will take good care of Ah Wen and the others.”
After that, he lay down a little tired for a while, and started to practice again.The meridians in his body are thin and clogged, making it very difficult to sort out.After waking up in this world for so many days, I barely sorted out less than a quarter of it.And he also discovered that everyone he came into contact with had no spiritual roots.This made him feel very puzzled, could it be that people in this world don't have spiritual roots, or that the people around him are all untalented.
"Wen Qiwu, come out."
"Wen Qiwu, come out for me."
Zhang Zirui heard someone shouting loudly outside the house, and the sound came from someone who was not friendly.He thought for a while and continued to practice, not going to pay attention to the people outside the house.But the people outside the house didn't seem to give up, they yelled for a long time and got no response, just shaking the broken wooden door there.
"Wen Qiwu, come out for me, don't think I didn't see it, the door of your house is open."
Zhang Zirui looked at the open door, thinking about the broken wooden doors of Wen's house, and the low fence that could be seen in the courtyard.He stood up helplessly and walked out.
Arriving in the yard, looking through the broken door, one could vaguely see a slightly fat figure.He opened the door and looked condescendingly at the middle-aged woman who was a little taken aback by seeing him.At this moment, he was very satisfied with the height of this body.
"My second brother is not here, what's the matter with this aunt?" Because he didn't know the other party's intentions and identity, Zhang Zirui's attitude was cold and polite.
"Where did you come from, a wild man? Why are you at my nephew's house? Where's Wen Qiwu?" The person who came was the eldest aunt of the Wen family, Mrs. Li.
Sanshui Village is full of poor families. Even the head of the village with the best conditions has only one ox cart.When Wen Qiwen and the others arrived in the village, they did not cover up. Many people in the village saw the carriage heading towards Wen's house.Today, someone saw Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu returning with two bags on their backs.
So Mrs. Li couldn't sit still. She didn't know the situation of the Zhang family at this time, and she felt that there must be something wrong with Wen Qiwen's return, so she came to check.
Zhang Zirui snorted coldly and said coldly: "I am Wen Qiwu's brother-in-law and Wen Qiwen's husband-in-law. Since you are a relative of the Wen family, why don't you know that today is the day when my father goes up the mountain to sacrifice. Do you recognize it? I don’t know what the intention is?”
From the child, he already knew all about their relatives.Seeing this woman, he will not have a good face.
"Hey, where did you come from, my eldest nephew's husband-in-law is the young master of the Zhang family, so poor as you are worthy?" Mrs. Li glanced at the fine cotton clothes Zhang Zirui was wearing with disdain.Although they are better dressed than ordinary farmers, what kind of family is that Zhang family?Young Master Zhang should at least wear silk and satin.
"I, Zhang Zirui, have a reputation anyway, and Wen Qiwen is also the wife I am married to. If you ruin our reputation like this, I can take the invitation letter to the yamen to sue you." Zhang Zirui saw that this woman was unreasonable, so he didn't wait. Seeing her, I am even more confused now.His face was icy cold, and his body naturally exuded a power.
"Don't fool me. I'm not afraid. My husband-in-law is also a scholar." Mrs. Li has never seen anything in the world. When it comes to the government, she is still a little guilty, and she has a guilty conscience and moves Uncle Wen, who has always been her backer. come out.Uncle Wen is the first scholar in this village, and he is also a man of fame.For the ordinary people in Sanshui Village, it is an existence that makes people awe-inspiring and unattainable.Therefore, he is very polite to Li Shi at ordinary times. At least it is easy for Li Shi to move out his husband-in-law when something happens.
"Hmph, are you fooling people? We went to the village chief and said that it is also feasible to invite the servants of the yamen. As a scholar, how can we allow others to slander my wife like this? The yamen is decided. "Zhang Zirui said with a serious face, putting all his aura on Li Shi.Said to go out.
At this time, Mrs. Li was a little scared. It seemed that this person was really the eldest son of the Zhang family, but why did he appear here, dressed so poorly?Mrs. Li seemed to change her face in an instant, and said with a calm face: "Hehe, don't be so serious, niece and son-in-law? I am an elder, and I don't think about the younger generation. The children in this room suddenly came to a stranger. I No matter what, I have to ask a question or two."
"I've never seen such a shameless caring method. Now I suspect that you are pretending to be a relative and have bad intentions. No, you must go to the village chief with me." Seeing more and more people, Zhang Zirui pointed and pointed, and immediately beat him up. .
Although the Wen family lives on the edge of the village, there are still a few families around, and it's not the busy farming season, so everyone is at home.Hearing Mrs. Li's yelling, people had already gathered to watch the fun.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really Ah Wen's great aunt." Mrs. Li was in a hurry and wanted to piss her off.
Zhang Zirui ignored her, and respectfully and politely bowed his hands to the people around him, with a polite appearance.He said impassionedly and righteously: "Fellow folks, student Zhang Zirui, Wen Qiwen is married to the Ming Dynasty. I don't want to go home with my wife for the funeral, but when someone is arrested and pretends to be a relative, I take this opportunity to make trouble and ruin my reputation. Are you forcing my wife to die? It’s really despicable. As a man, if I can’t even protect my wife, then I’m not in vain as a husband. Please help me to take this vicious person to the village Chief, after reporting to the officials, he will be taken to the Yamen for disposal."
What Zhang Zirui said was sincere, and the villagers nearby were dumbfounded. What did Mrs. Li do that is immoral?Let the new son-in-law want to arrest him and see him.
"No, no, I'm really their eldest aunt, folks, tell me about it." Seeing that the other party was so convincing and aggressive, Mrs. Li panicked, and didn't care about being rude.
The people around looked embarrassed, this Mrs. Li is not a real person, no wonder people think this is a fake villain.However, there was still a woman who was closer to Li Shi and said, "Young Master Zhang, that is indeed Ah Wen's eldest aunt."
Zhang Zirui showed a shocked and unbelievable expression on his face. "No, it's impossible?"
Seeing his appearance, the surrounding people couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.Alas~~ Such a bad relative, but who doesn't have a bad relative.
Aunt Wu was also in the crowd. Seeing Zhang Zirui's appearance, she couldn't help comforting her and said, "Young Master Zhang, don't be sad, this is indeed Ah Wen's great aunt."
"Yes, yes, I'm Ah Wen's aunt, and I'm an elder. You can't take me to see an official." Seeing someone prove it to her, Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, after the shock, Zhang Zirui showed a dignified look, and said sadly: "It is a relative, and the heart of poisoning a nephew is even worse. How can there be such a vicious woman in the world. Could it be for my Zhang family?" You gave me 100 taels of silver, and you still want to kill the few remaining children in this family? By the way, you only gave Awen 20 taels of silver, and my Zhang family gave me 100 taels of silver, but you were ignorant of it. Bet 80 taels."
As he spoke, he showed a face of sudden realization, and said with affirmation: "Yes, it must be like this, you are not satisfied with 80 taels, and you are still thinking about the little life-saving money left by their family, so in The spread of rumors in the village made Ah Wen's father mad, and now he came to the door to try to force Ah Wen's poor children to death. This is really terrible, such a cruel heart, such a vicious mind."
Zhang Zirui knew that this shrew was Arwen's vicious aunt, and he would not let her go like this.Although he can't do anything to her at this time, and some things are not very clear, but it is still easy to make up stories, splash dirty water, and blackmail her.
The surrounding villagers were shocked by this explosive news. This is not just a bad relative. It is terrible to think about having such a relative. Everyone can't help but feel a little sympathetic to this family.
Seeing being wronged, Mrs. Li became impatient for a moment, and said indiscriminately: "You are talking nonsense, I gave 70 taels of silver to that bastard Ah Wen." Thinking of the 70 taels of silver, she felt heartache.
"Hmph, is that right? How dare you confront the second aunt of the Wen family? When you came to say goodbye to her, you only said 20 taels to Ah Wen's father. If Ah Wen didn't want to save his father, would you agree?" It's all my fault for my unbelievable body, otherwise I wouldn't have let Ah Wen suffer such grievances. If it wasn't for Ah Wen's careful care, I would still be bedridden at this time. For such a good person as Ah Wen, you actually dare to kill him He, if I am still lingering on the sick bed today, will the brothers of the Wen family be forced to death by you?" Zhang Zirui chattered a lot like a cannonball, without giving anyone a chance to interrupt and argue.After speaking, he looked sad, covered his chest with one hand, and pointed at Mrs. Li with the other, panting heavily, looking like a weak scholar.
Shit, I'm not in good health now, I can't do anything, and I can't kill you.I also came to cosplay the movie king today.
Immediately, the surrounding area exploded, and everyone whispered to each other.
"Speaking of the money-greedy of Mr. Wen's family, the one who sold them seems to be A Xing of Mr. Wen's family."
"I remember that Wen Xing said it first, oh my god, are they all true? But there are still many people who are jealous."
"By the way, I heard that the afternoon when Wen's third family went there, Wen's second family got into a fight with the elders over some money."
"I heard that Ah Wen was there for a happy occasion. Seeing the scholar's sick and weak appearance, I can't be wrong."
......
At this time, the crowd of onlookers was constantly exchanging information, and usually the villagers didn't have any entertainment, and it was a lot of fun.As a result, the more everyone talked, the more they felt that what the scholar said was true.
"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense." Seeing that everyone believed Zhang's words, Mrs. Li was anxious and angry.
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who came over after hearing the news, stabbed Mrs. Li again. "Yo, sister-in-law, what you told the third family back then was indeed 20 taels of silver."
Mrs. Li was also angry because Mrs. Wang monopolized Zhang's family's employment money. Last time she came to argue with her, she was repaired by Mrs. Li together with Wen Xing and Wen Tao, and kicked her out.She is still angry up to now, but now that it has been exposed, how can she not rush to add insult to injury.
This is really a magic trick, professionally pitting teammates for 30 years.Zhang Zirui couldn't help applauding her.
"You talk nonsense, I'll tell you to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear you apart." Seeing the contempt and fear in everyone's eyes, Mrs. Li rushed towards Zhang Zirui like crazy.Zhang Zirui thought to himself, it's too bad, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, how could he be able to pinch a country peasant woman.And it doesn't look good for a big man to fight with an old lady.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Zhang Zirui and pushed Li Shi away.
When the Wen family brothers came back from the mountain, they saw many people gathered around the gate.There was only Brother Rui in the family. Could it be that something happened, Wen Qiwen was in a state of anxiety, and when he came to the door, he saw his elder aunt throwing herself on Brother Rui in a frenzy.He hurried up and pushed people away.
Li Shi was pushed to the ground, and began to cry, roll and splash.
"Woo~~ It's unreasonable, the younger generation is hitting the elders. The third child, look at your children, this is going against the sky, and they are hitting the elders."
When the spectators saw her like this, they felt ashamed for her, and she was a talented woman, just a vulgar country woman.No wonder Master Xiucai lives in the town by himself and doesn't come back very often.I have to say, everyone is telling the truth.
There were a few families who had a better relationship with Wen Laosan and wanted to come forward to say something, but they were preempted.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing, you're acting like an elder when you lose your face." Wang still didn't feel relieved, and continued to make up the knife.
"Brother Rui, are you alright? My aunt didn't hurt you, did she?" Wen Qiwen was familiar with his aunt's temperament, and was worried that Zhang Zirui would suffer.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Zirui smiled, what could he do.
As more and more people watched the fun, the two sisters Xing and Tao from Uncle Wen's family also came. When they saw Mrs. Li, they cried out in surprise.
Wen Xing: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Tao: "Mother, who is bullying you?"
Mrs. Li: "If the younger generation hits the elder, is there any justice left?"
When the two sisters of the Wen family heard this, it was all right.Wen Xing glared at Wen Qiwen, rushed forward angrily and raised her hand, slapping Wen Qiwen in the face.Wen Qiwen didn't notice, he was about to be beaten.
Zhang Zirui was furious, and even wanted to beat his person in front of him, thinking he was dead.He supported the door frame and lifted his foot, kicked Wen Xing on the stomach, knocking her to the ground.Hmph, the old man still has some guesses, and you, the young one, want to do it too.
☆, cut off the relationship
Wen Xing clutched her stomach, sweating coldly from the pain.Mrs. Li didn't care about crying at this time, but instead of caring about her daughter, she rushed towards Zhang Zirui viciously.
"You dare to hit my daughter, I will fight you."
Wen Qiwen stood in front of Zhang Zirui, looking like a protector.Brother Rui protected him like that just now, which made his heart warm.Wen Qiwu hugged the little girl, followed closely by two timid little Douding, standing firmly beside Wen Qiwen.
"That's enough, stop it for me. Erzhu's daughter-in-law and Gouzi's daughter-in-law, hold them back." The village head frowned and looked at the farce in front of him. He looked down on the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family, but she was a scholar after all. .It's just that today's affairs don't seem to be good.
There was a lot of noise here, and Li Erzhu, who had a good relationship with Wen Laosan before, was worried that the Wen family brothers would suffer, so he asked his wife to watch over here, and hurried to call the village chief.
The village head spoke, and two stronger women stepped forward to hold Mrs. Li.
"Let go of me, you guys are going to team up to bully us! Village chief, you can't be so unfair." Li Shi struggled unwillingly, and said something similar to reproach in his mouth.The woman pulling her was quite strong, and didn't let her break free, and ignored her.
Seeing this, Wen Tao rolled her eyes, helped her sister up, and came to the village chief.
"Village chief, you have to decide for us. My cousin and his men bullied our mother and daughter, beat my mother and my sister." Wen Tao cried in front of the village chief.Wen Tao also had a pale face, clutching her stomach and humming, looking miserable.
"Shut up, who will tell me what's going on?" The village chief glanced at the crowd watching, and then at the Wen family brothers who were facing the enemy.
At this time Zhang Zirui stepped forward, and Wen Qiwen pulled him worriedly.He patted the child's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Zhang Zirui walked into the crowd without looking at Li's mother and daughter.He bowed to the surrounding villagers, and Fangcai said unhurriedly: "The family is unlucky, and it has made all the villagers work hard."
As soon as he said this, the spectators around him blushed, thinking that this son-in-law of the Wen family is really a gentleman.
After speaking, Zhang Zirui saluted the village head again. "It's time for the village chief, and I have to trouble you to uphold justice today."
It has to be said that Zhang Zirui's favorability is very good. Compared with Li's mother and daughter, his gentle and polite appearance makes a difference.He first introduced himself to the village chief, and then told the story of what happened today.
The Wen family brothers were furious when they heard this, thinking that maybe the eldest aunt really wanted to harm them.Others don't know, but the eldest aunt knows that they took 70 taels of silver at that time.But seeing Brother Rui said it was 20 taels, they wouldn't be stupid to tear it down.
The village chief listened with drooping eyes and pondered. There was some truth to this matter.Moreover, although this Uncle Wen's family was reasonable, it was the Wen family's business after all, so he might not be too nosy.
Mrs. Li was so annoyed by Zhang Zirui's upside-down words that he yelled nonsense, and the Wen family sisters also desperately shouted for injustice.Mrs. Li continued to curse Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwu was furious, he stuffed the younger sister into the elder brother's arms, and was about to rush up and beat him.Wen Qiwen wanted to hold him back, but the younger sister was frightened and cried sadly, and the two Pingan brothers also cried.He coaxed his younger siblings in a hurry.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. Just now it was a last resort, but you can't do anything to the elders." Zhang Zirui held Wen Qiwu back. At this time, they were weak, and it was time to attack.But they are not hands-on, they are all juniors after all, in this era of strict etiquette, unless it is absolutely necessary, they cannot leave any excuse for disrespecting their elders.Those around them will blame them in turn for this.
Wen Qiwu red-eyed, clenched his fists, and glared at Li Shi angrily.Seeing that Ah Wu held back, Zhang Zirui asked Ah Wen to bring his younger siblings back to the house, so don't panic.
Everyone looked at the terrified children, crying pitifully, and their hearts turned to them again.Wen Qiwen was worried about them, but he couldn't bear to have his younger siblings frightened, so he led them into the house.
Li yelled blankly, saying that Ah Wu was going to beat him, how disrespectful and so on.The villagers gave Li a disdainful look, and it was the first time that they discovered that Li was such a naughty, vicious shrew.
The village chief couldn't stand it anymore and told her to shut up, then stared at Zhang Zirui, and asked him if what he said was true and if there was evidence.The village chief actually wanted to favor the Li family. After all, his surname is Wen, so they are all of the same clan.Their Wen family managed to produce a scholar, but they married such an unclear daughter-in-law.Husband and wife are one, he doesn't want this foolish woman to affect the boss of the Wen family.
"If the village chief doesn't believe it, he can confront him face to face, and Aunt Wen also admitted it in front of everyone just now, and everyone is watching." Zhang Zirui saw some signs of it, but he couldn't be kind today.
"Damn, don't make false statements." Mrs. Li refused to admit it, and the two sisters of the Wen family also cried and said they were wronged.
Zhang Zirui sneered, and then asked: "Wen's family took 100 taels of employment money, but your family said it?"
The person in the crowd who was close to Mr. Wen said loudly at this time, it was Wen Xing's biography.Wen Xing felt a little guilty when she heard this, and then she said confidently: "So what, your Zhang family did give you 100 taels of employment money."
"Auntie Wen and Auntie Wen went to Awen's house to talk about their marriage. Did they only say that the engagement money was 20 taels? How dare you confront Second Auntie?" Zhang Zirui asked, staring at Mrs. Li.
"I went with my sister-in-law, and they said it was 20 taels of silver, but I didn't know that the silver was 100 taels later." Wang was afraid that she would be involved in this matter, so she hurriedly dismissed it. relation.She heard just now that Uncle Wen kept saying that he was going to report to the police.
Because of what happened just now, and the current confrontation, combined with Mrs. Li's usual behavior, everyone around believed Zhang Zirui's words.The look in Li Shi's eyes is not right anymore. With such thoughts, we should stay away from them in the future.People who originally cared about the Wen family sisters had to weigh it now. With such a mother, their daughters probably wouldn't be much better off.
"I gave 70 taels of silver to Ah Wen in the end. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Wen." Looking at everyone's eyes, Li suddenly felt a little scared.She wasn't crazy either, so she hurriedly explained.
"Big aunt at this time, are you still not telling the truth? Ah Wen is a filial and sensible child. If you ask him to admit it, how dare he not admit it?" Zhang Zirui was aggressive, and he didn't give the other party a chance to explain, just getting more and more there. The drawing gets darker.
Li Shi wanted to explain, but she was used to being aggressive and domineering, and she couldn't speak, so she was always forced to speak nonsense by Zhang Zirui.The sisters of the Wen family watched anxiously and rescued their mothers, but they couldn't beat Zhang Zirui.
The village chief looked at these stupid women with a gloomy expression, and was forced to be at a loss. If this disturbance continues, he still doesn't know what will be involved.It's really embarrassing for their old Wen's family.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Ah Wu, you are considered the top of your family, tell me what you want to do?"
The village chief could see that Zhang Zirui was not someone to mess with.So he chose the honest and kind Wen Qiwu and let him make up his mind.
"I'll listen to my brother-in-law." Ah Wu was young and dumb. He always respected his elder brother. Zhang Zirui was his brother-in-law, and he could overwhelm Mrs. Li and the others in terms of momentum.
"After all, your brother-in-law's surname is Zhang, not Wen. It's up to you to make up your mind about the Wen family." The village chief stared at A Wu.
Zhang Zirui smiled, and didn't mind what the village chief said.He snorted coldly in his heart, the village head was determined to take sides.But it's not that easy, he said to Ah Wu: "Second brother, brother-in-law is really not suitable to make decisions for the Wen family. I just stood up and couldn't bear your brother being bullied. But as a man, please relax your mind. After all, it is you Auntie, there is no need to report to the official. Since your auntie’s family is short of money, they will use it if they need it, and don’t worry about it.”
Hearing what he said, the village chief wanted to count you as a kid.Li's mother and daughter also breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled smugly. See, it's just a lot of thunder and rain, and they don't dare to do anything to them.But they were too happy.
Zhang Zirui glanced at them, and finally said his purpose: "It's just this relative, you have to think carefully."
Ah Wu thought for a while, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, my eldest brother's employment money is fine, but we really dare not ask for such relatives, otherwise we will not know how they died. I also invite the village chief and all the villagers to testify, This relationship will be broken in the future, and there will be no more contact."
Although breaking off a relationship is a very serious matter, the villagers feel that it is time to break up when they think of what Mrs. Li has done.There is such a person who is always thinking about relatives, and is constantly afraid that he will not be able to sleep well.However, the old Wen family has always been kind, so it's 80 taels of silver, so you don't need it, it's really generous.
"Awu, you are kind and righteous. If such relatives are broken, they will be broken. Don't be sad. Uncle will testify to you and live a good life in the future." Uncle Wu came out of the crowd and patted Wu on the shoulder.
"Yeah, such a relative is too bad, let's break it up, and we will testify to you." At this time, those in the crowd who could not understand Mrs. Li, and those who had friendship with Wen's father all supported him. .
"Village chief, what do you mean?" Zhang Zirui looked at the village chief with a smile.
The village chief's face was dark. Although this result is the best, such things as breaking off marriage will somewhat damage the reputation of the Wen family boss.But seeing that the villagers have expressed their views, he can't keep silent. "If that's the case, let's stop."
"Bah, the poor man of the family, muddy legs. I don't care about being relatives with you." Hearing that there is no need to meet officials or pay back the money, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The daughter-in-law of Erzhu, who was pulling Mrs. Li, felt very harsh when she heard her words. When Mrs. Li was making a fuss, she pushed him forward violently.The dog's daughter-in-law on the other side didn't grab her, and Mrs. Li fell to the ground.
"Oh, it hurts me to death, you bitch, you dare to push me." Mrs. Li lay on the ground, pointing at Er Zhu's daughter-in-law and cursed.
Erzhu's daughter-in-law is not easy to provoke, rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist and scolded: "You shameless old man, you did it yourself, and even poured dirty water on me. Tell me you jumped forward, I Didn’t hold back, it looks like it fell. Didn’t you kill the third child of Wen’s family and want to harm my mother and take my anger out on her? Let me tell you, my mother is not easy to mess with.”
At this time Er Zhu also stood beside his wife, glaring at Li Shi. "You poisonous woman, what do you want to do to my wife? Be careful that I can't beat you to death."
Erzhu has always had a good relationship with the third son of the Wen family. After the third son Wen left, he wanted to take care of the Wen family.But widows have a lot of gossip, especially widows.Alas, the youngest of the third family happens to be a twin, and he has to avoid suspicion even if he wants his wife to take care of the first and second, which is really troublesome.
Now that these worries are gone, he should pay more attention to those children.Don't let them be eaten by these jackals.But the eldest son-in-law of the third eldest family looked pretty good, but he was a little weaker.
"That's enough, it's not enough, let's break up. Wen Xing, Wen Tao, take your mother back." The village head shouted angrily, the Wen family's face was completely humiliated, and they really wanted to marry a good wife.
The village chief spoke, and the crowd dispersed.Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu ignored Li Shi who was rolling on the ground, closed the door, and went into the house.
After returning to the house, Zhang Zirui apologized to the Wen family brothers. After all, he didn't know what they were thinking, so he made them break off on his own initiative.The Wen family brothers didn't think he was wrong, and thanked him very much.This made Zhang Zirui heave a sigh of relief, he felt that he was right, but he was afraid that the two brothers were rigid, it seemed that he was overthinking.
After this incident, the Wen family returned to tranquility within a short period of time.
☆, settle down
Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen temporarily settled down in Sanshui Village, but Zhang Zirui is just an uncle and Wen Qiwen is a married couple, so it's not easy to live in Wen's house all the time.The brothers and sisters of the Wen family are still young and cannot afford to be judged by the outside world.So no matter what the reason, they are not suitable to live together.
The two discussed for a while, thinking of buying the two acres of wasteland next to Wen's house.At that time, we will build an adobe house next to Wen's house, and then build a stove shed to live in first.Later, when the conditions are better, I will make another plan.Building a house will definitely not take two acres of land, but it can be sorted out to grow vegetables.
Wen's family lived on a slope in the south of the village, surrounded by wasteland.Sanshui Village is a remote mountain village, and the wasteland is also valuable.They could still afford the two acres of land. If he had money, Zhang Zirui would also like to buy the small hillside and the ravine on the side of the hillside together.
Zhang Zirui reckoned that at most 20 taels of silver would be enough to buy land and build a house.The adobe thatched house built in the countryside should not cost much.Except for making clothes for the Wen brothers and sisters, there should be some left over. Saving food and money should be able to make his body recover.He could feel the strong aura of the back mountain, which was a natural treasure house.As long as he recovers, he believes that with his ability, making money will not be difficult.
Wen Qiwen also has his own plan. He is very much in favor of buying land and building a house, but his future plan is to work hard to support his family.He felt that Brother Rui was not in good health, so it was better to rest at home.So the husband and wife each had their own calculations, and reached a consensus happily in this way.
After making the decision, Zhang Zirui took Wen Qiwen to the village chief's house sometime.The house of the village chief's house is a rare brick and tile house in the countryside, and it stands out from the crowd of low adobe houses.
"Is the village head at home?"
Coming outside the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Zirui stepped forward and patted the knocker on the wooden door, and shouted to the courtyard.
"Who is here?"
It was a woman in her 40s who came to open the door, she was a little puzzled when she saw Zhang Zirui.
Wen Qiwen knew this woman, she was the wife of the village head, Mrs. Liu.So he stepped forward and asked, "Mistress, is the village chief at home? My husband and I have something to do with him."
"It's Ah Wen, come in. Your second master is in the main room." Mrs. Liu smiled, led them into the door, and went to work on her own.
Zhang Zirui felt very surprised by Awen's name. Could it be that the two families are still related?In fact, the village chief's family and Wen's family belong to the same family, but they have already produced five clothes.
Seeing that it was the couple who came here, the village chief frowned, wondering if it was because of the previous incident?So he straightened his face and nodded casually.
"Sit down." The two sat down in response, and the village head said, "What's the matter with you here?"
"Village chief, we are here this time to buy the two acres of wasteland next to Wen's house. How much money do we need?" Zhang Zirui didn't suggest the village chief's attitude at all, and smiled gently.
"Why do you think of buying land in the village?" The village chief was puzzled, didn't he say that this family is a big family in the town?
"To be honest, my Zhang family is in trouble now. Only Ah Wen and I escaped by chance. So I want to live with Ah Wen in Sanshui Village, so that I can take care of the brothers and sisters of the Wen family." Zhang Zirui said with a look on his face. Somewhat dim.
Ah Wen thought he was really sad for the Zhang family, reached out and tugged on his sleeve, and looked at him worriedly.Zhang Zirui looked at Awen, reached out and patted the back of his hand, signaling that he was fine.
The village chief's expression softened a bit, that's good, and there will be another scholar in Sanshui Village in the future.He nodded and made an offer. "That's it! That wasteland costs at least eight taels of silver."
"Village chief, it's dry land and wasteland, and the ground is full of stones. Isn't the price too high?" Wen Qiwen was a little anxious when he heard the price. Those who bought land near their house were only two or two An acre of silver.
The village head raised his eyelids, as if he wanted to buy it or not. "This is the price in the yamen now."
Zhang Zirui thought about it for a while, and there was no information about the land price in his memory, but he had asked Ah Wen before.He stretched out his hand to make Ah Wen calm down, and then said to the village chief: "Village chief, you see that four taels of silver is indeed a bit high. Can you tell me that it is only three taels of silver per mu. If it is possible, Ah Wen and I Wen Xiao respects you for a tael of silver, firstly, to thank the village chief for upholding justice for the Wen family, and secondly, for your hard work in handling the land deed matters."
The village head looked at Zhang Zirui, although he was a little angry that Zhang Zirui let him hit a soft nail that day.But since the other party has subdued and there are benefits to be gained, he doesn't have to make things difficult for them.
"I don't need the one tael of silver. After all, everyone is related. I will try my best to explain it to you."
"I'm thankful for the village chief. I must give you the one or two taels of silver. This is also the honor of the younger generation." Zhang Zirui said, and handed the village chief a tael of silver.
"Oh, you children are too polite. Okay, I'll ask for you, go home and wait for the letter." The village head no longer refused this time, and accepted the money, his face softened.
"Okay, we sometimes make mistakes as juniors, and I will forget the village chief to remind you." Although they are only village chiefs, there is no enmity between them, and they are newcomers, and it is better to have one more friend than an enemy.
After agreeing, the two left the village chief's house.
"Brother Rui, I don't know if the matter will work or not. Why did you give him the money? And the land is only three taels of silver, so he is clearly blackmailing us." After leaving the village chief's house for a while
It sucks to have a dilapidated body.Zhang Zirui, who has always been gentle, was made to swear by his broken body.
With home in mind, Wen and Wu brothers hurried home after shopping.
When I got home, I saw Ping An's two little ones playing in the yard.
"Big brother, second brother, you are back." Seeing his brother coming back, the two little guys jumped on him happily.
Zhang Zirui, who was practicing, heard the sound, and came out of the house holding his little girl who was either gnawing her hands or feet, and she was having fun.
Wen Qiwu: "Brother."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui."
Zhang Zirui: "I'm back so soon."
"Well, we still need to prepare sacrifices and go up the mountain in the afternoon." Wen Qiwen put the sack in front of the stove, and said to Wen Qiwu: "Second brother, go and light the fire first, I'll go inside and have a look."
"En." Wen Qiwu nodded and entered the kitchen.
The two Pingan brothers followed him closely and kept asking what good things they had bought.
Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen entered the house, Wen Qiwen wanted to hug the younger sister, but Zhang Zirui refused.
"Little sister, let me watch. You guys still need to prepare sacrifices."
Wen Qiwen handed him the pawn ticket and money.
Zhang Zirui didn't answer. "You take it, make two sets of clothes for your younger siblings, and two pairs of shoes. It's a little bit of my brother-in-law's kindness to mend their bodies. You can keep the rest yourself."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui, there is still money at home, you should take this."
Seeing that he insisted on not accepting him, Zhang Zirui said in a serious tone: "Ah Wen, I am your husband-in-law, do you treat me as an outsider if you are so polite to me?"
"No, Brother Rui will be my husband-in-law for the rest of his life, so I'll just keep it." Wen Qiwen knew about Brother Rui's kindness, and he was embarrassed to spend any money in the family. After all, he was married, so he no longer decline.
The Wen and Wu brothers of the Wen family are very nimble. One boils water for cooking, and the other cleans up the younger siblings.At noon, I hastily drank the porridge left in the morning, packed the sacrifices, and was ready to go.
Zhang Zirui watched the brothers and sisters set off, so he had no choice but to send them to the door.He also wanted to kowtow to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but with his current situation, it would be a problem to go one way, let alone back and forth.
☆、Professional black
Watching the children leave, Zhang Zirui closed the door, went back to the house, offered incense to Wen's parents, kowtowed three more times, and said to the tablet of Wen's parents: "Father, Father, I am Zhang Zirui, Ah Wen's husband-in-law. , you two don’t worry, I will take good care of Ah Wen and the others.”
After that, he lay down a little tired for a while, and started to practice again.The meridians in his body are thin and clogged, making it very difficult to sort out.After waking up in this world for so many days, I barely sorted out less than a quarter of it.And he also discovered that everyone he came into contact with had no spiritual roots.This made him feel very puzzled, could it be that people in this world don't have spiritual roots, or that the people around him are all untalented.
"Wen Qiwu, come out."
"Wen Qiwu, come out for me."
Zhang Zirui heard someone shouting loudly outside the house, and the sound came from someone who was not friendly.He thought for a while and continued to practice, not going to pay attention to the people outside the house.But the people outside the house didn't seem to give up, they yelled for a long time and got no response, just shaking the broken wooden door there.
"Wen Qiwu, come out for me, don't think I didn't see it, the door of your house is open."
Zhang Zirui looked at the open door, thinking about the broken wooden doors of Wen's house, and the low fence that could be seen in the courtyard.He stood up helplessly and walked out.
Arriving in the yard, looking through the broken door, one could vaguely see a slightly fat figure.He opened the door and looked condescendingly at the middle-aged woman who was a little taken aback by seeing him.At this moment, he was very satisfied with the height of this body.
"My second brother is not here, what's the matter with this aunt?" Because he didn't know the other party's intentions and identity, Zhang Zirui's attitude was cold and polite.
"Where did you come from, a wild man? Why are you at my nephew's house? Where's Wen Qiwu?" The person who came was the eldest aunt of the Wen family, Mrs. Li.
Sanshui Village is full of poor families. Even the head of the village with the best conditions has only one ox cart.When Wen Qiwen and the others arrived in the village, they did not cover up. Many people in the village saw the carriage heading towards Wen's house.Today, someone saw Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu returning with two bags on their backs.
So Mrs. Li couldn't sit still. She didn't know the situation of the Zhang family at this time, and she felt that there must be something wrong with Wen Qiwen's return, so she came to check.
Zhang Zirui snorted coldly and said coldly: "I am Wen Qiwu's brother-in-law and Wen Qiwen's husband-in-law. Since you are a relative of the Wen family, why don't you know that today is the day when my father goes up the mountain to sacrifice. Do you recognize it? I don’t know what the intention is?”
From the child, he already knew all about their relatives.Seeing this woman, he will not have a good face.
"Hey, where did you come from, my eldest nephew's husband-in-law is the young master of the Zhang family, so poor as you are worthy?" Mrs. Li glanced at the fine cotton clothes Zhang Zirui was wearing with disdain.Although they are better dressed than ordinary farmers, what kind of family is that Zhang family?Young Master Zhang should at least wear silk and satin.
"I, Zhang Zirui, have a reputation anyway, and Wen Qiwen is also the wife I am married to. If you ruin our reputation like this, I can take the invitation letter to the yamen to sue you." Zhang Zirui saw that this woman was unreasonable, so he didn't wait. Seeing her, I am even more confused now.His face was icy cold, and his body naturally exuded a power.
"Don't fool me. I'm not afraid. My husband-in-law is also a scholar." Mrs. Li has never seen anything in the world. When it comes to the government, she is still a little guilty, and she has a guilty conscience and moves Uncle Wen, who has always been her backer. come out.Uncle Wen is the first scholar in this village, and he is also a man of fame.For the ordinary people in Sanshui Village, it is an existence that makes people awe-inspiring and unattainable.Therefore, he is very polite to Li Shi at ordinary times. At least it is easy for Li Shi to move out his husband-in-law when something happens.
"Hmph, are you fooling people? We went to the village chief and said that it is also feasible to invite the servants of the yamen. As a scholar, how can we allow others to slander my wife like this? The yamen is decided. "Zhang Zirui said with a serious face, putting all his aura on Li Shi.Said to go out.
At this time, Mrs. Li was a little scared. It seemed that this person was really the eldest son of the Zhang family, but why did he appear here, dressed so poorly?Mrs. Li seemed to change her face in an instant, and said with a calm face: "Hehe, don't be so serious, niece and son-in-law? I am an elder, and I don't think about the younger generation. The children in this room suddenly came to a stranger. I No matter what, I have to ask a question or two."
"I've never seen such a shameless caring method. Now I suspect that you are pretending to be a relative and have bad intentions. No, you must go to the village chief with me." Seeing more and more people, Zhang Zirui pointed and pointed, and immediately beat him up. .
Although the Wen family lives on the edge of the village, there are still a few families around, and it's not the busy farming season, so everyone is at home.Hearing Mrs. Li's yelling, people had already gathered to watch the fun.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really Ah Wen's great aunt." Mrs. Li was in a hurry and wanted to piss her off.
Zhang Zirui ignored her, and respectfully and politely bowed his hands to the people around him, with a polite appearance.He said impassionedly and righteously: "Fellow folks, student Zhang Zirui, Wen Qiwen is married to the Ming Dynasty. I don't want to go home with my wife for the funeral, but when someone is arrested and pretends to be a relative, I take this opportunity to make trouble and ruin my reputation. Are you forcing my wife to die? It’s really despicable. As a man, if I can’t even protect my wife, then I’m not in vain as a husband. Please help me to take this vicious person to the village Chief, after reporting to the officials, he will be taken to the Yamen for disposal."
What Zhang Zirui said was sincere, and the villagers nearby were dumbfounded. What did Mrs. Li do that is immoral?Let the new son-in-law want to arrest him and see him.
"No, no, I'm really their eldest aunt, folks, tell me about it." Seeing that the other party was so convincing and aggressive, Mrs. Li panicked, and didn't care about being rude.
The people around looked embarrassed, this Mrs. Li is not a real person, no wonder people think this is a fake villain.However, there was still a woman who was closer to Li Shi and said, "Young Master Zhang, that is indeed Ah Wen's eldest aunt."
Zhang Zirui showed a shocked and unbelievable expression on his face. "No, it's impossible?"
Seeing his appearance, the surrounding people couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.Alas~~ Such a bad relative, but who doesn't have a bad relative.
Aunt Wu was also in the crowd. Seeing Zhang Zirui's appearance, she couldn't help comforting her and said, "Young Master Zhang, don't be sad, this is indeed Ah Wen's great aunt."
"Yes, yes, I'm Ah Wen's aunt, and I'm an elder. You can't take me to see an official." Seeing someone prove it to her, Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, after the shock, Zhang Zirui showed a dignified look, and said sadly: "It is a relative, and the heart of poisoning a nephew is even worse. How can there be such a vicious woman in the world. Could it be for my Zhang family?" You gave me 100 taels of silver, and you still want to kill the few remaining children in this family? By the way, you only gave Awen 20 taels of silver, and my Zhang family gave me 100 taels of silver, but you were ignorant of it. Bet 80 taels."
As he spoke, he showed a face of sudden realization, and said with affirmation: "Yes, it must be like this, you are not satisfied with 80 taels, and you are still thinking about the little life-saving money left by their family, so in The spread of rumors in the village made Ah Wen's father mad, and now he came to the door to try to force Ah Wen's poor children to death. This is really terrible, such a cruel heart, such a vicious mind."
Zhang Zirui knew that this shrew was Arwen's vicious aunt, and he would not let her go like this.Although he can't do anything to her at this time, and some things are not very clear, but it is still easy to make up stories, splash dirty water, and blackmail her.
The surrounding villagers were shocked by this explosive news. This is not just a bad relative. It is terrible to think about having such a relative. Everyone can't help but feel a little sympathetic to this family.
Seeing being wronged, Mrs. Li became impatient for a moment, and said indiscriminately: "You are talking nonsense, I gave 70 taels of silver to that bastard Ah Wen." Thinking of the 70 taels of silver, she felt heartache.
"Hmph, is that right? How dare you confront the second aunt of the Wen family? When you came to say goodbye to her, you only said 20 taels to Ah Wen's father. If Ah Wen didn't want to save his father, would you agree?" It's all my fault for my unbelievable body, otherwise I wouldn't have let Ah Wen suffer such grievances. If it wasn't for Ah Wen's careful care, I would still be bedridden at this time. For such a good person as Ah Wen, you actually dare to kill him He, if I am still lingering on the sick bed today, will the brothers of the Wen family be forced to death by you?" Zhang Zirui chattered a lot like a cannonball, without giving anyone a chance to interrupt and argue.After speaking, he looked sad, covered his chest with one hand, and pointed at Mrs. Li with the other, panting heavily, looking like a weak scholar.
Shit, I'm not in good health now, I can't do anything, and I can't kill you.I also came to cosplay the movie king today.
Immediately, the surrounding area exploded, and everyone whispered to each other.
"Speaking of the money-greedy of Mr. Wen's family, the one who sold them seems to be A Xing of Mr. Wen's family."
"I remember that Wen Xing said it first, oh my god, are they all true? But there are still many people who are jealous."
"By the way, I heard that the afternoon when Wen's third family went there, Wen's second family got into a fight with the elders over some money."
"I heard that Ah Wen was there for a happy occasion. Seeing the scholar's sick and weak appearance, I can't be wrong."
......
At this time, the crowd of onlookers was constantly exchanging information, and usually the villagers didn't have any entertainment, and it was a lot of fun.As a result, the more everyone talked, the more they felt that what the scholar said was true.
"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense." Seeing that everyone believed Zhang's words, Mrs. Li was anxious and angry.
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who came over after hearing the news, stabbed Mrs. Li again. "Yo, sister-in-law, what you told the third family back then was indeed 20 taels of silver."
Mrs. Li was also angry because Mrs. Wang monopolized Zhang's family's employment money. Last time she came to argue with her, she was repaired by Mrs. Li together with Wen Xing and Wen Tao, and kicked her out.She is still angry up to now, but now that it has been exposed, how can she not rush to add insult to injury.
This is really a magic trick, professionally pitting teammates for 30 years.Zhang Zirui couldn't help applauding her.
"You talk nonsense, I'll tell you to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear you apart." Seeing the contempt and fear in everyone's eyes, Mrs. Li rushed towards Zhang Zirui like crazy.Zhang Zirui thought to himself, it's too bad, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, how could he be able to pinch a country peasant woman.And it doesn't look good for a big man to fight with an old lady.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Zhang Zirui and pushed Li Shi away.
When the Wen family brothers came back from the mountain, they saw many people gathered around the gate.There was only Brother Rui in the family. Could it be that something happened, Wen Qiwen was in a state of anxiety, and when he came to the door, he saw his elder aunt throwing herself on Brother Rui in a frenzy.He hurried up and pushed people away.
Li Shi was pushed to the ground, and began to cry, roll and splash.
"Woo~~ It's unreasonable, the younger generation is hitting the elders. The third child, look at your children, this is going against the sky, and they are hitting the elders."
When the spectators saw her like this, they felt ashamed for her, and she was a talented woman, just a vulgar country woman.No wonder Master Xiucai lives in the town by himself and doesn't come back very often.I have to say, everyone is telling the truth.
There were a few families who had a better relationship with Wen Laosan and wanted to come forward to say something, but they were preempted.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing, you're acting like an elder when you lose your face." Wang still didn't feel relieved, and continued to make up the knife.
"Brother Rui, are you alright? My aunt didn't hurt you, did she?" Wen Qiwen was familiar with his aunt's temperament, and was worried that Zhang Zirui would suffer.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Zirui smiled, what could he do.
As more and more people watched the fun, the two sisters Xing and Tao from Uncle Wen's family also came. When they saw Mrs. Li, they cried out in surprise.
Wen Xing: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Tao: "Mother, who is bullying you?"
Mrs. Li: "If the younger generation hits the elder, is there any justice left?"
When the two sisters of the Wen family heard this, it was all right.Wen Xing glared at Wen Qiwen, rushed forward angrily and raised her hand, slapping Wen Qiwen in the face.Wen Qiwen didn't notice, he was about to be beaten.
Zhang Zirui was furious, and even wanted to beat his person in front of him, thinking he was dead.He supported the door frame and lifted his foot, kicked Wen Xing on the stomach, knocking her to the ground.Hmph, the old man still has some guesses, and you, the young one, want to do it too.
☆, cut off the relationship
Wen Xing clutched her stomach, sweating coldly from the pain.Mrs. Li didn't care about crying at this time, but instead of caring about her daughter, she rushed towards Zhang Zirui viciously.
"You dare to hit my daughter, I will fight you."
Wen Qiwen stood in front of Zhang Zirui, looking like a protector.Brother Rui protected him like that just now, which made his heart warm.Wen Qiwu hugged the little girl, followed closely by two timid little Douding, standing firmly beside Wen Qiwen.
"That's enough, stop it for me. Erzhu's daughter-in-law and Gouzi's daughter-in-law, hold them back." The village head frowned and looked at the farce in front of him. He looked down on the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family, but she was a scholar after all. .It's just that today's affairs don't seem to be good.
There was a lot of noise here, and Li Erzhu, who had a good relationship with Wen Laosan before, was worried that the Wen family brothers would suffer, so he asked his wife to watch over here, and hurried to call the village chief.
The village head spoke, and two stronger women stepped forward to hold Mrs. Li.
"Let go of me, you guys are going to team up to bully us! Village chief, you can't be so unfair." Li Shi struggled unwillingly, and said something similar to reproach in his mouth.The woman pulling her was quite strong, and didn't let her break free, and ignored her.
Seeing this, Wen Tao rolled her eyes, helped her sister up, and came to the village chief.
"Village chief, you have to decide for us. My cousin and his men bullied our mother and daughter, beat my mother and my sister." Wen Tao cried in front of the village chief.Wen Tao also had a pale face, clutching her stomach and humming, looking miserable.
"Shut up, who will tell me what's going on?" The village chief glanced at the crowd watching, and then at the Wen family brothers who were facing the enemy.
At this time Zhang Zirui stepped forward, and Wen Qiwen pulled him worriedly.He patted the child's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Zhang Zirui walked into the crowd without looking at Li's mother and daughter.He bowed to the surrounding villagers, and Fangcai said unhurriedly: "The family is unlucky, and it has made all the villagers work hard."
As soon as he said this, the spectators around him blushed, thinking that this son-in-law of the Wen family is really a gentleman.
After speaking, Zhang Zirui saluted the village head again. "It's time for the village chief, and I have to trouble you to uphold justice today."
It has to be said that Zhang Zirui's favorability is very good. Compared with Li's mother and daughter, his gentle and polite appearance makes a difference.He first introduced himself to the village chief, and then told the story of what happened today.
The Wen family brothers were furious when they heard this, thinking that maybe the eldest aunt really wanted to harm them.Others don't know, but the eldest aunt knows that they took 70 taels of silver at that time.But seeing Brother Rui said it was 20 taels, they wouldn't be stupid to tear it down.
The village chief listened with drooping eyes and pondered. There was some truth to this matter.Moreover, although this Uncle Wen's family was reasonable, it was the Wen family's business after all, so he might not be too nosy.
Mrs. Li was so annoyed by Zhang Zirui's upside-down words that he yelled nonsense, and the Wen family sisters also desperately shouted for injustice.Mrs. Li continued to curse Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwu was furious, he stuffed the younger sister into the elder brother's arms, and was about to rush up and beat him.Wen Qiwen wanted to hold him back, but the younger sister was frightened and cried sadly, and the two Pingan brothers also cried.He coaxed his younger siblings in a hurry.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. Just now it was a last resort, but you can't do anything to the elders." Zhang Zirui held Wen Qiwu back. At this time, they were weak, and it was time to attack.But they are not hands-on, they are all juniors after all, in this era of strict etiquette, unless it is absolutely necessary, they cannot leave any excuse for disrespecting their elders.Those around them will blame them in turn for this.
Wen Qiwu red-eyed, clenched his fists, and glared at Li Shi angrily.Seeing that Ah Wu held back, Zhang Zirui asked Ah Wen to bring his younger siblings back to the house, so don't panic.
Everyone looked at the terrified children, crying pitifully, and their hearts turned to them again.Wen Qiwen was worried about them, but he couldn't bear to have his younger siblings frightened, so he led them into the house.
Li yelled blankly, saying that Ah Wu was going to beat him, how disrespectful and so on.The villagers gave Li a disdainful look, and it was the first time that they discovered that Li was such a naughty, vicious shrew.
The village chief couldn't stand it anymore and told her to shut up, then stared at Zhang Zirui, and asked him if what he said was true and if there was evidence.The village chief actually wanted to favor the Li family. After all, his surname is Wen, so they are all of the same clan.Their Wen family managed to produce a scholar, but they married such an unclear daughter-in-law.Husband and wife are one, he doesn't want this foolish woman to affect the boss of the Wen family.
"If the village chief doesn't believe it, he can confront him face to face, and Aunt Wen also admitted it in front of everyone just now, and everyone is watching." Zhang Zirui saw some signs of it, but he couldn't be kind today.
"Damn, don't make false statements." Mrs. Li refused to admit it, and the two sisters of the Wen family also cried and said they were wronged.
Zhang Zirui sneered, and then asked: "Wen's family took 100 taels of employment money, but your family said it?"
The person in the crowd who was close to Mr. Wen said loudly at this time, it was Wen Xing's biography.Wen Xing felt a little guilty when she heard this, and then she said confidently: "So what, your Zhang family did give you 100 taels of employment money."
"Auntie Wen and Auntie Wen went to Awen's house to talk about their marriage. Did they only say that the engagement money was 20 taels? How dare you confront Second Auntie?" Zhang Zirui asked, staring at Mrs. Li.
"I went with my sister-in-law, and they said it was 20 taels of silver, but I didn't know that the silver was 100 taels later." Wang was afraid that she would be involved in this matter, so she hurriedly dismissed it. relation.She heard just now that Uncle Wen kept saying that he was going to report to the police.
Because of what happened just now, and the current confrontation, combined with Mrs. Li's usual behavior, everyone around believed Zhang Zirui's words.The look in Li Shi's eyes is not right anymore. With such thoughts, we should stay away from them in the future.People who originally cared about the Wen family sisters had to weigh it now. With such a mother, their daughters probably wouldn't be much better off.
"I gave 70 taels of silver to Ah Wen in the end. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Wen." Looking at everyone's eyes, Li suddenly felt a little scared.She wasn't crazy either, so she hurriedly explained.
"Big aunt at this time, are you still not telling the truth? Ah Wen is a filial and sensible child. If you ask him to admit it, how dare he not admit it?" Zhang Zirui was aggressive, and he didn't give the other party a chance to explain, just getting more and more there. The drawing gets darker.
Li Shi wanted to explain, but she was used to being aggressive and domineering, and she couldn't speak, so she was always forced to speak nonsense by Zhang Zirui.The sisters of the Wen family watched anxiously and rescued their mothers, but they couldn't beat Zhang Zirui.
The village chief looked at these stupid women with a gloomy expression, and was forced to be at a loss. If this disturbance continues, he still doesn't know what will be involved.It's really embarrassing for their old Wen's family.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Ah Wu, you are considered the top of your family, tell me what you want to do?"
The village chief could see that Zhang Zirui was not someone to mess with.So he chose the honest and kind Wen Qiwu and let him make up his mind.
"I'll listen to my brother-in-law." Ah Wu was young and dumb. He always respected his elder brother. Zhang Zirui was his brother-in-law, and he could overwhelm Mrs. Li and the others in terms of momentum.
"After all, your brother-in-law's surname is Zhang, not Wen. It's up to you to make up your mind about the Wen family." The village chief stared at A Wu.
Zhang Zirui smiled, and didn't mind what the village chief said.He snorted coldly in his heart, the village head was determined to take sides.But it's not that easy, he said to Ah Wu: "Second brother, brother-in-law is really not suitable to make decisions for the Wen family. I just stood up and couldn't bear your brother being bullied. But as a man, please relax your mind. After all, it is you Auntie, there is no need to report to the official. Since your auntie’s family is short of money, they will use it if they need it, and don’t worry about it.”
Hearing what he said, the village chief wanted to count you as a kid.Li's mother and daughter also breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled smugly. See, it's just a lot of thunder and rain, and they don't dare to do anything to them.But they were too happy.
Zhang Zirui glanced at them, and finally said his purpose: "It's just this relative, you have to think carefully."
Ah Wu thought for a while, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, my eldest brother's employment money is fine, but we really dare not ask for such relatives, otherwise we will not know how they died. I also invite the village chief and all the villagers to testify, This relationship will be broken in the future, and there will be no more contact."
Although breaking off a relationship is a very serious matter, the villagers feel that it is time to break up when they think of what Mrs. Li has done.There is such a person who is always thinking about relatives, and is constantly afraid that he will not be able to sleep well.However, the old Wen family has always been kind, so it's 80 taels of silver, so you don't need it, it's really generous.
"Awu, you are kind and righteous. If such relatives are broken, they will be broken. Don't be sad. Uncle will testify to you and live a good life in the future." Uncle Wu came out of the crowd and patted Wu on the shoulder.
"Yeah, such a relative is too bad, let's break it up, and we will testify to you." At this time, those in the crowd who could not understand Mrs. Li, and those who had friendship with Wen's father all supported him. .
"Village chief, what do you mean?" Zhang Zirui looked at the village chief with a smile.
The village chief's face was dark. Although this result is the best, such things as breaking off marriage will somewhat damage the reputation of the Wen family boss.But seeing that the villagers have expressed their views, he can't keep silent. "If that's the case, let's stop."
"Bah, the poor man of the family, muddy legs. I don't care about being relatives with you." Hearing that there is no need to meet officials or pay back the money, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The daughter-in-law of Erzhu, who was pulling Mrs. Li, felt very harsh when she heard her words. When Mrs. Li was making a fuss, she pushed him forward violently.The dog's daughter-in-law on the other side didn't grab her, and Mrs. Li fell to the ground.
"Oh, it hurts me to death, you bitch, you dare to push me." Mrs. Li lay on the ground, pointing at Er Zhu's daughter-in-law and cursed.
Erzhu's daughter-in-law is not easy to provoke, rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist and scolded: "You shameless old man, you did it yourself, and even poured dirty water on me. Tell me you jumped forward, I Didn’t hold back, it looks like it fell. Didn’t you kill the third child of Wen’s family and want to harm my mother and take my anger out on her? Let me tell you, my mother is not easy to mess with.”
At this time Er Zhu also stood beside his wife, glaring at Li Shi. "You poisonous woman, what do you want to do to my wife? Be careful that I can't beat you to death."
Erzhu has always had a good relationship with the third son of the Wen family. After the third son Wen left, he wanted to take care of the Wen family.But widows have a lot of gossip, especially widows.Alas, the youngest of the third family happens to be a twin, and he has to avoid suspicion even if he wants his wife to take care of the first and second, which is really troublesome.
Now that these worries are gone, he should pay more attention to those children.Don't let them be eaten by these jackals.But the eldest son-in-law of the third eldest family looked pretty good, but he was a little weaker.
"That's enough, it's not enough, let's break up. Wen Xing, Wen Tao, take your mother back." The village head shouted angrily, the Wen family's face was completely humiliated, and they really wanted to marry a good wife.
The village chief spoke, and the crowd dispersed.Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu ignored Li Shi who was rolling on the ground, closed the door, and went into the house.
After returning to the house, Zhang Zirui apologized to the Wen family brothers. After all, he didn't know what they were thinking, so he made them break off on his own initiative.The Wen family brothers didn't think he was wrong, and thanked him very much.This made Zhang Zirui heave a sigh of relief, he felt that he was right, but he was afraid that the two brothers were rigid, it seemed that he was overthinking.
After this incident, the Wen family returned to tranquility within a short period of time.
☆, settle down
Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen temporarily settled down in Sanshui Village, but Zhang Zirui is just an uncle and Wen Qiwen is a married couple, so it's not easy to live in Wen's house all the time.The brothers and sisters of the Wen family are still young and cannot afford to be judged by the outside world.So no matter what the reason, they are not suitable to live together.
The two discussed for a while, thinking of buying the two acres of wasteland next to Wen's house.At that time, we will build an adobe house next to Wen's house, and then build a stove shed to live in first.Later, when the conditions are better, I will make another plan.Building a house will definitely not take two acres of land, but it can be sorted out to grow vegetables.
Wen's family lived on a slope in the south of the village, surrounded by wasteland.Sanshui Village is a remote mountain village, and the wasteland is also valuable.They could still afford the two acres of land. If he had money, Zhang Zirui would also like to buy the small hillside and the ravine on the side of the hillside together.
Zhang Zirui reckoned that at most 20 taels of silver would be enough to buy land and build a house.The adobe thatched house built in the countryside should not cost much.Except for making clothes for the Wen brothers and sisters, there should be some left over. Saving food and money should be able to make his body recover.He could feel the strong aura of the back mountain, which was a natural treasure house.As long as he recovers, he believes that with his ability, making money will not be difficult.
Wen Qiwen also has his own plan. He is very much in favor of buying land and building a house, but his future plan is to work hard to support his family.He felt that Brother Rui was not in good health, so it was better to rest at home.So the husband and wife each had their own calculations, and reached a consensus happily in this way.
After making the decision, Zhang Zirui took Wen Qiwen to the village chief's house sometime.The house of the village chief's house is a rare brick and tile house in the countryside, and it stands out from the crowd of low adobe houses.
"Is the village head at home?"
Coming outside the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Zirui stepped forward and patted the knocker on the wooden door, and shouted to the courtyard.
"Who is here?"
It was a woman in her 40s who came to open the door, she was a little puzzled when she saw Zhang Zirui.
Wen Qiwen knew this woman, she was the wife of the village head, Mrs. Liu.So he stepped forward and asked, "Mistress, is the village chief at home? My husband and I have something to do with him."
"It's Ah Wen, come in. Your second master is in the main room." Mrs. Liu smiled, led them into the door, and went to work on her own.
Zhang Zirui felt very surprised by Awen's name. Could it be that the two families are still related?In fact, the village chief's family and Wen's family belong to the same family, but they have already produced five clothes.
Seeing that it was the couple who came here, the village chief frowned, wondering if it was because of the previous incident?So he straightened his face and nodded casually.
"Sit down." The two sat down in response, and the village head said, "What's the matter with you here?"
"Village chief, we are here this time to buy the two acres of wasteland next to Wen's house. How much money do we need?" Zhang Zirui didn't suggest the village chief's attitude at all, and smiled gently.
"Why do you think of buying land in the village?" The village chief was puzzled, didn't he say that this family is a big family in the town?
"To be honest, my Zhang family is in trouble now. Only Ah Wen and I escaped by chance. So I want to live with Ah Wen in Sanshui Village, so that I can take care of the brothers and sisters of the Wen family." Zhang Zirui said with a look on his face. Somewhat dim.
Ah Wen thought he was really sad for the Zhang family, reached out and tugged on his sleeve, and looked at him worriedly.Zhang Zirui looked at Awen, reached out and patted the back of his hand, signaling that he was fine.
The village chief's expression softened a bit, that's good, and there will be another scholar in Sanshui Village in the future.He nodded and made an offer. "That's it! That wasteland costs at least eight taels of silver."
"Village chief, it's dry land and wasteland, and the ground is full of stones. Isn't the price too high?" Wen Qiwen was a little anxious when he heard the price. Those who bought land near their house were only two or two An acre of silver.
The village head raised his eyelids, as if he wanted to buy it or not. "This is the price in the yamen now."
Zhang Zirui thought about it for a while, and there was no information about the land price in his memory, but he had asked Ah Wen before.He stretched out his hand to make Ah Wen calm down, and then said to the village chief: "Village chief, you see that four taels of silver is indeed a bit high. Can you tell me that it is only three taels of silver per mu. If it is possible, Ah Wen and I Wen Xiao respects you for a tael of silver, firstly, to thank the village chief for upholding justice for the Wen family, and secondly, for your hard work in handling the land deed matters."
The village head looked at Zhang Zirui, although he was a little angry that Zhang Zirui let him hit a soft nail that day.But since the other party has subdued and there are benefits to be gained, he doesn't have to make things difficult for them.
"I don't need the one tael of silver. After all, everyone is related. I will try my best to explain it to you."
"I'm thankful for the village chief. I must give you the one or two taels of silver. This is also the honor of the younger generation." Zhang Zirui said, and handed the village chief a tael of silver.
"Oh, you children are too polite. Okay, I'll ask for you, go home and wait for the letter." The village head no longer refused this time, and accepted the money, his face softened.
"Okay, we sometimes make mistakes as juniors, and I will forget the village chief to remind you." Although they are only village chiefs, there is no enmity between them, and they are newcomers, and it is better to have one more friend than an enemy.
After agreeing, the two left the village chief's house.
"Brother Rui, I don't know if the matter will work or not. Why did you give him the money? And the land is only three taels of silver, so he is clearly blackmailing us." After leaving the village chief's house for a while
