[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral
Chapter 53
The food planted in Sanshui Village has already had a good harvest, and the villagers have not had time to be happy.The government sent people to take away most of them. Even if the harvest was good, they still couldn't get enough to eat, and their lives were very tight.
King Cheng's army has now occupied several state capitals near Liangzhou City, getting closer and closer to the capital.Now more and more people turn to King Cheng, King Cheng finally gained a firm foothold, and started a tug-of-war with the current emperor.
With the example of King Cheng in front, many people moved their minds and wanted to take a share of the chaos in the world.Many local forces have annexed those forced rebels, wanting to establish themselves as kings.The situation in such a large law is even more chaotic. The current emperor is very angry and has been devastated by these rebels.
But the imperial court and officials he owned have long been decayed, and even those mainstays of Qingliu have been killed and exiled by him long ago.There are also some disheartened and left.When he needed to employ people, he realized that there was no one available around him, and now it was too late to regret.
But the flames of war finally reached Panshan County. I heard that the rebel army led by King Wuping in the south had almost reached Panshan County, and the people in Panshan County were panicked.
"Husband, what should I do? If the rebels really come in, they will have no eyes." Wen Xing hugged her son, anxiously turning around.
"If it doesn't work, you can go back to your mother's house to hide. The remote village is better than the county town. I heard that these rebels don't kill civilians indiscriminately, but the court officials never let them go." Now the officials in the county, how can they One was not ready to flee.If it weren't for the generals sent by the imperial court to watch, the county magistrate would have fled long ago.
"Let's go, let's go together as a family." Wen Xing looked at her husband, if something happened to him, what would she and the child do in the future?
"Will your natal family agree at that time?" When Wen Xing said this, Tian Butou was also tempted.
"I can't care so much, let's just live in and talk about it." Wen Xing gritted her teeth, as if she was going to die.
"Okay, but you and your family can only go first, and I have to figure out how to leave."
So Wen Xing took Tian Tuotou's family back to Wen Chengcai's home in Sanshui Village.Wen Xing originally thought that her parents would embarrass her, but she didn't expect that when they arrived, they would face a dusty house.Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it had been inhabited for a long time.The family cleaned the house and lived in the village.
The arrival of Wen Xing and the others, as well as the news they brought, made the villagers panic.Although their place is remote, there is no guarantee that there will be stragglers passing by, taking advantage of the chaos to loot.
When Zhang Zirui returned to the village, he learned the news.After much deliberation, let the villagers dig tunnels.If there is an attack on the village, quickly hide in the tunnel.The villagers had no better way, and finally dug tunnels according to Zhang Zirui's idea.
As for how to dig and how to hide the exit, Zhang Zirui only mentioned roughly, and the rest is up to the villagers to play freely.The imagination of the working people is also very rich. For the sake of their own lives, it is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and each showing their magical powers.
For the safety of Aunt Wu and the others, Zhang Zirui let several familiar families live in the house.Then a formation was set up in a corner of the backyard, allowing them to hide in when they were in danger.
"Brother Zhang, what a miracle this is." Xiang Bei stared dumbfounded at Er Zhuang who walked in and disappeared from sight, exclaiming.
"It's just a cover-up. If the village can't stay any longer, you can bring your family to the mountains to find me." Zhang Zirui taught them how to use this formation, and gave them some instructions.
"Brother Zhang, thank you." Xiang Bei thanked him sincerely.
"Silly boy, why don't you thank me." Zhang Zirui smiled and rubbed his head.
At this time, Wen Qiwen and several aunts were processing the prey they brought, which were mainly for Wen Qixin's body.It's not bad to be able to eat enough now, but don't even think about eating meat.Wen Qixin is somewhat nutritionally deficient and needs to be replenished.Aunt Yan thanked her again and again for this, and she also tried to make up for Ah Xin before, but it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.Now Awen has been of great help.
Aunt Wu and Xiang Bei moved into Zhang's house, and Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law's family wanted to follow suit.It's just that this is not my home after all, and Aunt Wu doesn't agree with anything.Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was crying at the gate of Zhang's house.
"You old Wu family has no conscience. Xiang Rong is not here now. You mother and son only care about yourself and don't care about me. Why do I have such a hard life and marry into such a family?"
"You——you—" Aunt Wu didn't expect that Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law was such a person, and was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.Shitou's daughter-in-law stepped forward to help her get along.
"Mother, are you okay?" Xiang Bei ran out of the house and looked at Aunt Wu anxiously.
"Fuck, your family's delicious and lazy things have taken over the Wu family, you shameless little bitch dare to come here to make trouble? You really think that there is no one in my Sanshui village, can you let you be lawless?" Aunt Yan couldn't stand it and stood at the door cursing.
"This is my Wu family's business, what's none of your business?" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she couldn't keep up.
"This is my home. I can let whoever I want to live in." Wen Qiwen looked at her coldly, wondering why this person had changed so much.I remember when brother Xiang Rong first got married, this person was not like this.
"Hmph, you ungrateful person, if it weren't for my old Wu family, you would still be where you are today?" Mrs. Chen considered herself a benefactor of the Wen family, not to mention that a pair of children climbed on her head, which made her feel annoyed.
"The old Wu family is kind to my Wen family, but it has nothing to do with your surname Chen." Wen Qiwen is very tired of the Chen family now.
"My old Wu family temple is too small to accommodate you big Buddhas. Go to the north and invite the village chief. If Xiang Rong is not here, I will decide to divorce this daughter-in-law for him. If he wants to blame him in the future, he will blame me for my mother's incompetence." It's gone." Aunt Wu said, tears streaming down her face.Why was she so blind to find such a wife for Xiang Bei?
"No, mother, you can't do this." Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law finally panicked, this was not the result she wanted.She just wanted her family to live a better life, she cared about her family, how could it be wrong?
Xiang Bei glanced at his sister-in-law, then turned and ran to call the village chief.At the beginning, this sister-in-law was not like this, but now she is becoming more and more unreliable.It's rare for his mother to make up his mind, and he fully agrees with this decision.
Aunt Yan and the others were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect to divorce their wives and drive them out.When an honest person gets angry, he really can't be provoked.Everyone just advised Aunt Wu to think about it, it's not worth being angry with such a person.
The village head came soon, and within a few years, the village head looked like he was ten years old, and his back was slightly hunched.Xiang Rong invited the Chen family over again.When the Chen family heard that the Wu family was going to divorce their wives, they immediately started arguing.But this is Sanshui Village, not his Chenjia Village, and there is no room for them to talk.
"Why do you divorce my daughter, Da Zhuang is not here, she does housework and takes care of her mother-in-law, what is she doing wrong?" Chen's mother cried and did not agree with the Wu family's divorce.And now that Mrs. Chen saw that Mrs. Wu was determined to divorce her, she was at a loss.
"You are really ashamed to say that, your family lives in my house like this, eats my Wu family's food, uses my Wu family's food, and lets my mother serve your family. The Chen family is not serving my mother, it is clearly serving you Family." Xiang Bei stared at Chen's old lady, his eyes were full of anger.
"Divorcing a wife is not a trivial matter, have you thought about it?" The village chief ignored the Chen family and just looked at Aunt Wu.
"Think about it, there is nothing wrong with Chen's desire to protect her natal family. It's just that this business belongs to my Wu family, but she and her natal family want to turn Wu's into a Chen family. My old Wu family owns She felt sorry for her enough, but there was no time for her to be satisfied. She didn't want to think about what would happen to her and Xiang Rong if the Wu family lost everything. Besides, she and Xiang Rong had been married for so many years and had no children. "Aunt Wu wasn't the kind of mean person originally, but now she was forced to speak out all the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"No, I didn't, I didn't." Chen muttered to herself in a panic.
"Enough, how many rules have you committed these seven times? One is not filial to your parents, you said that you have been filial to my mother-in-law since your natal family came over? Two have no children, you have been married to Xiang Rong for so long, and you don't even have a child. No; three, you are jealous, so what if Ah Wen and Ah Xin are twins? They respect their elders, manage the family well, and continue the blood for their husband’s family. Which one can’t be better than you? Fourth, you conspired with your mother’s family Stealing the property of the husband's family." Aunt Wu said, crying while she was also sad.
Mrs. Chen complained at home, always picking on Wen Qiwen and Wen Qixin. To put it bluntly, she thought they were twins and had a better life than her.But she didn't think about it, her life was better than many young daughter-in-laws.
The mother-in-law is easy to get along with and sensible, the husband-in-law is also a caring person, and the uncle is also sensible and respects her.The family conditions are not bad, they live in a big house, they can have a full meal every day, and even help her take care of her natal family.This is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes, but she is just not satisfied.
Wen Qixin and Wen Qiwen glanced at each other, so it turned out that there was something about them.Live life by yourself, if you don't live well, you can't blame others.
"Since you've made up your mind, write a letter of divorce." The village chief also felt that the Chen family was too dissatisfied, and it was hard to find a family like the Wu family with a lantern.
Xiangbei borrowed brush and ink from Zhang Zirui, and under Zhang Zirui's guidance, he finished writing Xiu.The Chen family was crying and making noise there, but their strength was nothing compared to Er Zhuang and the others.
"Mother, please don't drive me away, I will definitely change it in the future." Crying and kneeling in front of Wu, Mrs. Chen begged her.Only then did she realize that everything was not as her natal family said.
"It's late, it's not that I haven't given you a chance. Think for yourself, how many times have I persuaded you? But what about you, how did you do it?" Aunt Wu turned her eyes away and didn't look at Mrs. Chen.She tried to persuade her, but this Mrs. Chen didn't know what to do, and said that she was mean and protective of outsiders, which really hurt people's hearts.Even though they pushed Northward away, she still gave her a chance.
This letter of divorce went north to ask Tian Tutou's brother for help, and sent it to the county government for filing.The Chen family was kicked out of Sanshui Village, and the Wu family was not that cruel.They took away all the things they bought after they came to Wu's house, and also gave them two bags of grain.
Mrs. Chen was crying and crying, unwilling to leave if she wanted to die, but Aunt Wu was determined this time.She would rather save more money and marry Xiang Rong another one in the future.I don't want to have a fool like Chen, and an in-law like this wolf.
The farce of the Wu family ended, and Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen returned to Taoyuan Valley.It's just that Wen Qiwen has been preoccupied, what is he thinking?
"Awen, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Zirui poured him a glass of warm water, sat in front of him, and looked at him seriously.
"Why does everyone think that Shuang'er should be inferior to other people just because of our background? But that's not what we would like to choose." Wen Qiwen has always felt inferior because of Shuang'er's identity in his heart.While feeling inferior, I was also somewhat resentful and sad.
"Hey, don't think about those messy things. Shuang'er is not worse than others at all. Those people are just used to stepping on others to highlight their differences. To put it bluntly, they are just incompetent. They want to find a sense of presence, but they don't have That's all." Zhang Zirui pulled Wen Qiwen over, let him sit on his lap, hugged him in his arms and comforted him.
"I'm only worried about Lele, and I will be looked down upon like this in the future." Their family, Lele, is so cute, if she is discriminated against because of her twin's status, it will hurt her heart to think about it.
"If you are really worried, I will find a way to remove his birthmark, and we will raise him as a boy in the future. Besides, who dares to look down on my son Zhang Zirui. Whoever looks down on us Lele in the future, I will let them be a family It's not easy." Zhang Zirui said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, he doesn't approve of concealing Lele's identity, because he always feels shameful and lives with a mask.He hopes that his children can live a bright and honest life, live a real life, live a life of wanton publicity, and don't care what others think.
He is the best, no one can compare.From now on, if he wants to marry a wife, he will marry a wife. If he wants to take a wife, he will rob him, and he, the father, will also rob him.If he wants to be willing to marry, he will prepare a lot of dowry to marry him with glory.
"No, we Lele are the best, so we don't need to hide it."
Wen Qiwen was only deeply influenced by Chen Yue, and was touched again today.But Zhang Zirui began to think about how to teach Situ Junhao, starting from him to change the world's view of Shuang'er.
Xiao Lele didn't know that his father and father were worried about him, and he was jumping happily on his short legs in his little cradle.Situ Junhao, who was tricked by his master, had an itchy nose and sneezed.
"Brother Junhao, have you caught a cold?" The little girl tilted her head, blinking her big black eyes.
"No, have you finished writing your big characters?"
"No, brother-in-law is really bad. How can I finish writing so many characters?" The little girl suddenly became frowning, looking at the crookedly written Three-Character Classic in front of her with a sad face. "Brother Junhao, why don't you write some for me."
"Little sister, don't act like my brothers don't exist." Wen Qiping looked at the little girl, not allowing her to be lazy.
"Third brother, you don't love me anymore." The little girl looked at Wen Qiping with tears in her eyes.
"Stop pretending, I'm still writing, it's not your fault." Wen Qi'an glared at the troublemaker angrily.If the little girl hadn't played with her sword secretly and stabbed Shuang'er, they wouldn't have been punished.Fortunately, Shuang'er was only scratched a little, otherwise brother-in-law doesn't know what to do with them.
"It's not intentional." The little girl pouted, she was also frightened, and she said sadly that she hurt Shuang'er.
"Okay, don't talk about the younger sister. It's better to finish the task and go see Shuang'er." Seeing the pitiful look of the younger sister, Situ Junhao stood up as a peacemaker.
"Just protect her. Sooner or later, she will climb on your head."
The two Pingan brothers usually love their little sister very much, but they are different from Situ Junhao.As far as their little sister's sex is concerned, they are typically aggressive, and they won't always let her go.
Shuang'er, who was injured by the younger sister, had a bandage on his arm.His wound was not deep, but it frightened Zhang Ming.Zhang Ming is a sensible person, he didn't blame the younger sister, but just told them to be more careful in the future.Then take care of Shuang'er, let him heal his wounds well, and don't leave any scars in the future. In the past, there were no conditions to not allow it, but now there are conditions, you can't be negligent.In his concept, both children will marry in the future.
Wen Qiwen specially ordered Daoshi to get some supplements for Shuang'er.Shuang'er felt that the adults made a big fuss, and the wound didn't hurt at all.Compared to when his father and grandma beat him before, it was just like tickling.
The flames of war finally reached Sanshui Village, and the rebel army fought all the way to Panshan County. The imperial army, which had already lost its morale, was like a pan of loose sand, which would disperse as soon as they were beaten.The rebels easily occupied Panshan County, and then set off for Liangzhou City.The disbanded troops fled in all directions, and the remaining rebels pursued them everywhere.
The general who was sent to guard Panshan County abandoned the people of Panshan County after the defeat, and fled all the way to Sanshui Village with his subordinates.After entering the village, they saw that the pursuers had not followed, so they planned to rest here for a period of time and make other plans.
The village saw soldiers entering the village, but they did not understand their intentions.They closed the doors and windows tightly, hiding at home and not daring to come out.Some cautious people have already hid in the tunnel.
Most of these people who entered the village were generals with low official positions, but they also looked down on ordinary people.They fell in love with Zhang's and Wen's houses at a glance. This house was big and good enough, and it perfectly met their needs.
Uncle Erzhu saw that they had no intention of hurting anyone, nor did they resist or hide.It's just that they were obediently kicked out with everyone, and now they can only go home separately.Qin's small shack has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is no longer able to accommodate people.The Wu family took Qin and Xiaoyue in. They had a big house and few people, and she also had a talking partner.
These remnant soldiers and defeated generals took the houses of the two families as their own.The general saw that there were not only medicinal materials planted in this courtyard, which could be used by wounded soldiers, but also a large training ground, and he was very satisfied.The food of the Zhang family was also seized by these people. Because of the food, the villagers were not harassed for the time being.
In order not to reveal their whereabouts, these remnant soldiers closed the village and did not allow villagers to enter or leave.Because they don't know the intentions of these people, the people in the village live in fear.Tian Tuotou was even more afraid of being recognized by others, so he stayed behind closed doors at home.
After Wen Xing and the others left, Tian Butou also escaped quietly.It's just that he didn't expect that these defeated troops would come to such a remote mountain village as Sanshui Village.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, as does a poorly disciplined and defeated army.At first they were worried, fearing that the rebels would find out and catch up.Now that they have lived in peace for two days, they feel that nothing has happened, so they have the mind to think about other things.
At the beginning, they asked the village head to find a few women to wash and cook for them.When the Zhang family's food was almost consumed, they turned their ideas on the villagers again.
And among these people, a small official thought of Xiaoyue whom he saw when he lived in Zhang's house, and started to have a bad idea.That day he noticed that Xiaoyue lived in the farmyard not far from them.There are not many families in that family, just two old women and one and a half children.
So this person quietly climbed the wall and entered Wu's house in the middle of the night. He groped in the courtyard for a while, and finally found the room where Qin and Xiaoyue lived.At this time, Xiangbei had already been awakened, and quietly followed behind him with a knife.
"Little beauty, brother is here." The little official smiled wretchedly, and was about to pry open the door.
Qin Shi, who had already woken up in the house, was holding a wooden stick, ready to fight desperately at any time.Xiaoyue timidly followed behind her, biting her lips tightly, without saying a word, holding a wooden stick in her hand.
With a puff, there was the sound of a knife piercing into the flesh, and a long knife pierced him from behind, and then pulled it out again.The little official held his chest in disbelief, turned around with difficulty and glanced at Xiang Bei who was standing behind him, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Aunt Qin, it's okay, you guys pack up quickly, you can't stay in the village anymore." After Xiang Bei finished speaking, he hurried to ask Mrs. Wu to pack up.
It's just that there are people patrolling in the village, and there is no way for Xiangbei to take Wu and the others out.So Xiangbei hid him in the hole he dug before, and he rushed to ask for help overnight alone.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Zirui, who was practicing martial arts, saw the distress signal from the village.He hurried out of the valley, and saw Xiang Bei lying outside the valley covered in blood.At this time, he didn't care much, and hurriedly carried the person in for treatment.
Wen Qiwen and the others were taken aback when they saw Xiang Bei. The wound on his body was deep enough to show the bone, and it looked like he was scratched by a ferocious beast.Judging from the time of his appearance, he should have entered the mountain in the middle of the night when he had something urgent to do, but wild beasts appeared at night, and he was injured when he encountered a ferocious wild beast.
"Brother Rui, save my mother and the others—" Xiang Bei woke up, grabbed Zhang Zirui's clothes anxiously, finished talking about the family affairs in one breath, and then passed out again.
"These bastards." Wen Qiwen couldn't help cursing angrily.
"Awen, go to the county seat and quietly reveal the whereabouts of these people to King Wuping's subordinates. I will go and rescue Aunt Wu and the others first."
"Brother, let's go too." The two Pingan brothers actively responded to the call, and they were determined to defeat the bad guys, weed the strong and help the weak.Situ Junhao also looked at him, hoping that Master would take him with him.
"Okay, but you have to obey the command and take good care of Jun Hao, you know?"
"We will definitely take good care of Jun Hao." It is right to take care of the little nephew.
Zhang Zirui took care of Xiang Bei's wound, handed him over to Zhang Ming to take care of him, and took the three little ones with him to Sanshui Village.
King Cheng's army has now occupied several state capitals near Liangzhou City, getting closer and closer to the capital.Now more and more people turn to King Cheng, King Cheng finally gained a firm foothold, and started a tug-of-war with the current emperor.
With the example of King Cheng in front, many people moved their minds and wanted to take a share of the chaos in the world.Many local forces have annexed those forced rebels, wanting to establish themselves as kings.The situation in such a large law is even more chaotic. The current emperor is very angry and has been devastated by these rebels.
But the imperial court and officials he owned have long been decayed, and even those mainstays of Qingliu have been killed and exiled by him long ago.There are also some disheartened and left.When he needed to employ people, he realized that there was no one available around him, and now it was too late to regret.
But the flames of war finally reached Panshan County. I heard that the rebel army led by King Wuping in the south had almost reached Panshan County, and the people in Panshan County were panicked.
"Husband, what should I do? If the rebels really come in, they will have no eyes." Wen Xing hugged her son, anxiously turning around.
"If it doesn't work, you can go back to your mother's house to hide. The remote village is better than the county town. I heard that these rebels don't kill civilians indiscriminately, but the court officials never let them go." Now the officials in the county, how can they One was not ready to flee.If it weren't for the generals sent by the imperial court to watch, the county magistrate would have fled long ago.
"Let's go, let's go together as a family." Wen Xing looked at her husband, if something happened to him, what would she and the child do in the future?
"Will your natal family agree at that time?" When Wen Xing said this, Tian Butou was also tempted.
"I can't care so much, let's just live in and talk about it." Wen Xing gritted her teeth, as if she was going to die.
"Okay, but you and your family can only go first, and I have to figure out how to leave."
So Wen Xing took Tian Tuotou's family back to Wen Chengcai's home in Sanshui Village.Wen Xing originally thought that her parents would embarrass her, but she didn't expect that when they arrived, they would face a dusty house.Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it had been inhabited for a long time.The family cleaned the house and lived in the village.
The arrival of Wen Xing and the others, as well as the news they brought, made the villagers panic.Although their place is remote, there is no guarantee that there will be stragglers passing by, taking advantage of the chaos to loot.
When Zhang Zirui returned to the village, he learned the news.After much deliberation, let the villagers dig tunnels.If there is an attack on the village, quickly hide in the tunnel.The villagers had no better way, and finally dug tunnels according to Zhang Zirui's idea.
As for how to dig and how to hide the exit, Zhang Zirui only mentioned roughly, and the rest is up to the villagers to play freely.The imagination of the working people is also very rich. For the sake of their own lives, it is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and each showing their magical powers.
For the safety of Aunt Wu and the others, Zhang Zirui let several familiar families live in the house.Then a formation was set up in a corner of the backyard, allowing them to hide in when they were in danger.
"Brother Zhang, what a miracle this is." Xiang Bei stared dumbfounded at Er Zhuang who walked in and disappeared from sight, exclaiming.
"It's just a cover-up. If the village can't stay any longer, you can bring your family to the mountains to find me." Zhang Zirui taught them how to use this formation, and gave them some instructions.
"Brother Zhang, thank you." Xiang Bei thanked him sincerely.
"Silly boy, why don't you thank me." Zhang Zirui smiled and rubbed his head.
At this time, Wen Qiwen and several aunts were processing the prey they brought, which were mainly for Wen Qixin's body.It's not bad to be able to eat enough now, but don't even think about eating meat.Wen Qixin is somewhat nutritionally deficient and needs to be replenished.Aunt Yan thanked her again and again for this, and she also tried to make up for Ah Xin before, but it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.Now Awen has been of great help.
Aunt Wu and Xiang Bei moved into Zhang's house, and Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law's family wanted to follow suit.It's just that this is not my home after all, and Aunt Wu doesn't agree with anything.Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was crying at the gate of Zhang's house.
"You old Wu family has no conscience. Xiang Rong is not here now. You mother and son only care about yourself and don't care about me. Why do I have such a hard life and marry into such a family?"
"You——you—" Aunt Wu didn't expect that Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law was such a person, and was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.Shitou's daughter-in-law stepped forward to help her get along.
"Mother, are you okay?" Xiang Bei ran out of the house and looked at Aunt Wu anxiously.
"Fuck, your family's delicious and lazy things have taken over the Wu family, you shameless little bitch dare to come here to make trouble? You really think that there is no one in my Sanshui village, can you let you be lawless?" Aunt Yan couldn't stand it and stood at the door cursing.
"This is my Wu family's business, what's none of your business?" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she couldn't keep up.
"This is my home. I can let whoever I want to live in." Wen Qiwen looked at her coldly, wondering why this person had changed so much.I remember when brother Xiang Rong first got married, this person was not like this.
"Hmph, you ungrateful person, if it weren't for my old Wu family, you would still be where you are today?" Mrs. Chen considered herself a benefactor of the Wen family, not to mention that a pair of children climbed on her head, which made her feel annoyed.

"No, mother, you can't do this." Xiang Rong's daughter-in-law finally panicked, this was not the result she wanted.She just wanted her family to live a better life, she cared about her family, how could it be wrong?
Xiang Bei glanced at his sister-in-law, then turned and ran to call the village chief.At the beginning, this sister-in-law was not like this, but now she is becoming more and more unreliable.It's rare for his mother to make up his mind, and he fully agrees with this decision.

"Divorcing a wife is not a trivial matter, have you thought about it?" The village chief ignored the Chen family and just looked at Aunt Wu.

They respect their elders, manage the family well, and continue the blood for their husband’s family. Which one can’t be better than you? Fourth, you conspired with your mother’s family Stealing the property of the husband's family." Aunt Wu said, crying while she was also sad.
Mrs. Chen complained at home, always picking on Wen Qiwen and Wen Qixin. To put it bluntly, she thought they were twins and had a better life than her.But she didn't think about it, her life was better than many young daughter-in-laws.
The mother-in-law is easy to get along with and sensible, the husband-in-law is also a caring person, and the uncle is also sensible and respects her.The family conditions are not bad, they live in a big house, they can have a full meal every day, and even help her take care of her natal family.This is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes, but she is just not satisfied.
Wen Qixin and Wen Qiwen glanced at each other, so it turned out that there was something about them.Live life by yourself, if you don't live well, you can't blame others.
"Since you've made up your mind, write a letter of divorce." The village chief also felt that the Chen family was too dissatisfied, and it was hard to find a family like the Wu family with a lantern.
Xiangbei borrowed brush and ink from Zhang Zirui, and under Zhang Zirui's guidance, he finished writing Xiu.The Chen family was crying and making noise there, but their strength was nothing compared to Er Zhuang and the others.
"Mother, please don't drive me away, I will definitely change it in the future." Crying and kneeling in front of Wu, Mrs. Chen begged her.Only then did she realize that everything was not as her natal family said.
"It's late, it's not that I haven't given you a chance. Think for yourself, how many times have I persuaded you? But what about you, how did you do it?" Aunt Wu turned her eyes away and didn't look at Mrs. Chen.She tried to persuade her, but this Mrs. Chen didn't know what to do, and said that she was mean and protective of outsiders, which really hurt people's hearts.Even though they pushed Northward away, she still gave her a chance.
This letter of divorce went north to ask Tian Tutou's brother for help, and sent it to the county government for filing.The Chen family was kicked out of Sanshui Village, and the Wu family was not that cruel.They took away all the things they bought after they came to Wu's house, and also gave them two bags of grain.
Mrs. Chen was crying and crying, unwilling to leave if she wanted to die, but Aunt Wu was determined this time.She would rather save more money and marry Xiang Rong another one in the future.I don't want to have a fool like Chen, and an in-law like this wolf.
The farce of the Wu family ended, and Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen returned to Taoyuan Valley.It's just that Wen Qiwen has been preoccupied, what is he thinking?
"Awen, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Zirui poured him a glass of warm water, sat in front of him, and looked at him seriously.
"Why does everyone think that Shuang'er should be inferior to other people just because of our background? But that's not what we would like to choose." Wen Qiwen has always felt inferior because of Shuang'er's identity in his heart.While feeling inferior, I was also somewhat resentful and sad.
"Hey, don't think about those messy things. Shuang'er is not worse than others at all. Those people are just used to stepping on others to highlight their differences. To put it bluntly, they are just incompetent. They want to find a sense of presence, but they don't have That's all." Zhang Zirui pulled Wen Qiwen over, let him sit on his lap, hugged him in his arms and comforted him.
"I'm only worried about Lele, and I will be looked down upon like this in the future." Their family, Lele, is so cute, if she is discriminated against because of her twin's status, it will hurt her heart to think about it.
"If you are really worried, I will find a way to remove his birthmark, and we will raise him as a boy in the future. Besides, who dares to look down on my son Zhang Zirui. Whoever looks down on us Lele in the future, I will let them be a family It's not easy." Zhang Zirui said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, he doesn't approve of concealing Lele's identity, because he always feels shameful and lives with a mask.He hopes that his children can live a bright and honest life, live a real life, live a life of wanton publicity, and don't care what others think.
He is the best, no one can compare.From now on, if he wants to marry a wife, he will marry a wife. If he wants to take a wife, he will rob him, and he, the father, will also rob him.If he wants to be willing to marry, he will prepare a lot of dowry to marry him with glory.
"No, we Lele are the best, so we don't need to hide it."
Wen Qiwen was only deeply influenced by Chen Yue, and was touched again today.But Zhang Zirui began to think about how to teach Situ Junhao, starting from him to change the world's view of Shuang'er.
Xiao Lele didn't know that his father and father were worried about him, and he was jumping happily on his short legs in his little cradle.Situ Junhao, who was tricked by his master, had an itchy nose and sneezed.
"Brother Junhao, have you caught a cold?" The little girl tilted her head, blinking her big black eyes.
"No, have you finished writing your big characters?"
"No, brother-in-law is really bad. How can I finish writing so many characters?" The little girl suddenly became frowning, looking at the crookedly written Three-Character Classic in front of her with a sad face. "Brother Junhao, why don't you write some for me."
"Little sister, don't act like my brothers don't exist." Wen Qiping looked at the little girl, not allowing her to be lazy.
"Third brother, you don't love me anymore." The little girl looked at Wen Qiping with tears in her eyes.
"Stop pretending, I'm still writing, it's not your fault." Wen Qi'an glared at the troublemaker angrily.If the little girl hadn't played with her sword secretly and stabbed Shuang'er, they wouldn't have been punished.Fortunately, Shuang'er was only scratched a little, otherwise brother-in-law doesn't know what to do with them.
"It's not intentional." The little girl pouted, she was also frightened, and she said sadly that she hurt Shuang'er.
"Okay, don't talk about the younger sister. It's better to finish the task and go see Shuang'er." Seeing the pitiful look of the younger sister, Situ Junhao stood up as a peacemaker.
"Just protect her. Sooner or later, she will climb on your head."
The two Pingan brothers usually love their little sister very much, but they are different from Situ Junhao.As far as their little sister's sex is concerned, they are typically aggressive, and they won't always let her go.
Shuang'er, who was injured by the younger sister, had a bandage on his arm.His wound was not deep, but it frightened Zhang Ming.Zhang Ming is a sensible person, he didn't blame the younger sister, but just told them to be more careful in the future.Then take care of Shuang'er, let him heal his wounds well, and don't leave any scars in the future. In the past, there were no conditions to not allow it, but now there are conditions, you can't be negligent.In his concept, both children will marry in the future.
Wen Qiwen specially ordered Daoshi to get some supplements for Shuang'er.Shuang'er felt that the adults made a big fuss, and the wound didn't hurt at all.Compared to when his father and grandma beat him before, it was just like tickling.
The flames of war finally reached Sanshui Village, and the rebel army fought all the way to Panshan County. The imperial army, which had already lost its morale, was like a pan of loose sand, which would disperse as soon as they were beaten.The rebels easily occupied Panshan County, and then set off for Liangzhou City.The disbanded troops fled in all directions, and the remaining rebels pursued them everywhere.
The general who was sent to guard Panshan County abandoned the people of Panshan County after the defeat, and fled all the way to Sanshui Village with his subordinates.After entering the village, they saw that the pursuers had not followed, so they planned to rest here for a period of time and make other plans.
The village saw soldiers entering the village, but they did not understand their intentions.They closed the doors and windows tightly, hiding at home and not daring to come out.Some cautious people have already hid in the tunnel.
Most of these people who entered the village were generals with low official positions, but they also looked down on ordinary people.They fell in love with Zhang's and Wen's houses at a glance. This house was big and good enough, and it perfectly met their needs.
Uncle Erzhu saw that they had no intention of hurting anyone, nor did they resist or hide.It's just that they were obediently kicked out with everyone, and now they can only go home separately.Qin's small shack has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is no longer able to accommodate people.The Wu family took Qin and Xiaoyue in. They had a big house and few people, and she also had a talking partner.
These remnant soldiers and defeated generals took the houses of the two families as their own.The general saw that there were not only medicinal materials planted in this courtyard, which could be used by wounded soldiers, but also a large training ground, and he was very satisfied.The food of the Zhang family was also seized by these people. Because of the food, the villagers were not harassed for the time being.
In order not to reveal their whereabouts, these remnant soldiers closed the village and did not allow villagers to enter or leave.Because they don't know the intentions of these people, the people in the village live in fear.Tian Tuotou was even more afraid of being recognized by others, so he stayed behind closed doors at home.
After Wen Xing and the others left, Tian Butou also escaped quietly.It's just that he didn't expect that these defeated troops would come to such a remote mountain village as Sanshui Village.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, as does a poorly disciplined and defeated army.At first they were worried, fearing that the rebels would find out and catch up.Now that they have lived in peace for two days, they feel that nothing has happened, so they have the mind to think about other things.
At the beginning, they asked the village head to find a few women to wash and cook for them.When the Zhang family's food was almost consumed, they turned their ideas on the villagers again.
And among these people, a small official thought of Xiaoyue whom he saw when he lived in Zhang's house, and started to have a bad idea.That day he noticed that Xiaoyue lived in the farmyard not far from them.There are not many families in that family, just two old women and one and a half children.
So this person quietly climbed the wall and entered Wu's house in the middle of the night. He groped in the courtyard for a while, and finally found the room where Qin and Xiaoyue lived.At this time, Xiangbei had already been awakened, and quietly followed behind him with a knife.
"Little beauty, brother is here." The little official smiled wretchedly, and was about to pry open the door.
Qin Shi, who had already woken up in the house, was holding a wooden stick, ready to fight desperately at any time.Xiaoyue timidly followed behind her, biting her lips tightly, without saying a word, holding a wooden stick in her hand.
With a puff, there was the sound of a knife piercing into the flesh, and a long knife pierced him from behind, and then pulled it out again.The little official held his chest in disbelief, turned around with difficulty and glanced at Xiang Bei who was standing behind him, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Aunt Qin, it's okay, you guys pack up quickly, you can't stay in the village anymore." After Xiang Bei finished speaking, he hurried to ask Mrs. Wu to pack up.
It's just that there are people patrolling in the village, and there is no way for Xiangbei to take Wu and the others out.So Xiangbei hid him in the hole he dug before, and he rushed to ask for help overnight alone.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Zirui, who was practicing martial arts, saw the distress signal from the village.He hurried out of the valley, and saw Xiang Bei lying outside the valley covered in blood.At this time, he didn't care much, and hurriedly carried the person in for treatment.
Wen Qiwen and the others were taken aback when they saw Xiang Bei. The wound on his body was deep enough to show the bone, and it looked like he was scratched by a ferocious beast.Judging from the time of his appearance, he should have entered the mountain in the middle of the night when he had something urgent to do, but wild beasts appeared at night, and he was injured when he encountered a ferocious wild beast.
"Brother Rui, save my mother and the others—" Xiang Bei woke up, grabbed Zhang Zirui's clothes anxiously, finished talking about the family affairs in one breath, and then passed out again.
"These bastards." Wen Qiwen couldn't help cursing angrily.
"Awen, go to the county seat and quietly reveal the whereabouts of these people to King Wuping's subordinates. I will go and rescue Aunt Wu and the others first."
"Brother, let's go too." The two Pingan brothers actively responded to the call, and they were determined to defeat the bad guys, weed the strong and help the weak.Situ Junhao also looked at him, hoping that Master would take him with him.
"Okay, but you have to obey the command and take good care of Jun Hao, you know?"
"We will definitely take good care of Jun Hao." It is right to take care of the little nephew.
Zhang Zirui took care of Xiang Bei's wound, handed him over to Zhang Ming to take care of him, and took the three little ones with him to Sanshui Village.
