Chapter 29
Wang He said briefly.
It turned out that Wang Erlang took advantage of little Jia's absence in the house, opened the wooden box where she kept her dowry, and took away the one hundred and twenty money. He didn't care about being seen by the eldest son, so he went to the main house to return it to the second elder.
The old couple couldn't accept it. They were pushing and shoving, and Wang Erlang became anxious: "I took the money this morning because I didn't want to cause trouble to the third brother. You didn't look at the coward of the third brother!"
Jia Nu said "tsk": "Don't say that about your younger brother!"
Wang Weng: "Huh, you are right. A good son, he was so good before, but now he has turned into a pile of mud, without any backbone! Okay, since this money has been distributed to you, it will not be taken back. Take it quickly.
Go back, don’t…”
Before Wang Weng had finished speaking, little Jia, at the eldest son's signal, discovered that the money bag was missing.
Is this okay?! I can’t live my life!
Little Jia would definitely not jump into a well. There was only this well in the north of the village. If she jumped down and died in it, she would be whipped to death by her neighbors.
After the quarrel was over, little Jia returned to her parents' home. This was the advantage of being close to her parents' home, with one village to the north and one to the east.
It rained continuously the next day, so there was no need to go to the field in such weather. Wang Ge, Wang Shu and Zhang Cang sat across from her in the utility room and studied.
Wang Erlang went to pick up the bride with a grimace, but came back angrily.
When Wang and Weng asked, they were very angry. It turned out that Erlang's uncle and aunt did not let Erlang enter the hospital! They also promised that they would either make new clothes for little Jia as an apology or buy some jewelry, otherwise little Jia would be
Just stay at my parents' house for a while.
We are busy in the fields, and we have to go to the wild mountains to cut bamboo every now and then. What can we do if we have less labor at home? This is because the married family knows that the royal family has received a reward, and they want to take a big bite!
Jia Guo wiped her tears, opened the suitcase, and took out a cloth package. After unwrapping it, she found neatly folded cloth. "This half piece of cloth was bought by your father when Sanlang got married. I have never been willing to cut it into clothes."
.Take it and make amends to the wedding family."
"Mom!"
"Take it! It's your fault for this matter! Erlang, don't be dissatisfied. This matter has to be blamed on my mother. If your father quietly gives the money to others, my mother will also be angry."
"You two elders are not someone else!"
Wang Weng said: "Listen to your mother. From now on, remember that when you are wronged first, don't blame the wrongdoer. After the bride comes back, discuss everything with her. The children are grown, so don't embarrass yourself in front of the younger generation.
.”
"Alas!" Wang Erlang panicked with shame and anger. He stamped his feet vigorously, took the clothes and rushed into the rain.
The past came rushing back! This half piece of cloth was not retained from the previous life. At that time, A Shu drowned himself in the river. My father suffered from heart disease, typhoid fever, and back problems. The family had no money left, so my mother sold everything she could.
Buying medicine, I don’t know if it is because the medicine is not suitable for the disease, but my father is still getting sicker day by day, and he suffered from it until his death. In this life, thanks to my niece, she is courageous and knowledgeable at a young age, and she makes money from the county town.
I bought some medicine and my father's back problem was cured in a few days.
But the fabric still has to be sent away! And it’s so many years in advance!
Even the five hundred dollars began to be spent piecemeal, and the money was no longer in the hands of the second elder.
Wang Erlang became more and more uneasy, fearing that even though everything seemed to have changed, in fact he still couldn't escape from his original fate.
In the east wing, Mrs. Yao, who had been peeking, was impatient and asked Wang Sanlang: "Wait and ask, what did your second brother just get?"
"Um."
Wang Ai sat on the bed and imitated his mother with a milky voice: "You are waiting to play around, what did your beloved brother get?"
Yao and Sanlang Wang were both startled. After looking at each other, they had different reactions. Wang Sanlang just scolded: "No..."
Before the word "nonsense" came out, Yao had already slapped Wang Ai on the mouth.
In the utility room, Wang Ge heard Aai cry again, frowned slightly and said: "It's easy to have a day off, either to train A Peng or to beat Aai."
Wang Shu laughed at himself: "It's because my mother is not at home, otherwise she would find fault with me."
Zhang Cang's face tightened: "Don't be afraid, Sister Shu. If you get beaten later, run to my house."
"Hey, I don't, I just run to my sister."
Wang Ge hurriedly refused: "No, the more you count on me, the harder you will be beaten."
Zhang Cang thought Sister Ge was joking. Wang Shu understood that Sister Cong was telling the truth. She lowered her head, feeling ashamed and helpless. Sister Cong was a nice person and treated her well. She sincerely taught her knitting skills, but her mother
I just don’t like Sister Cong and always say bad things about Sister Cong. Why?!
Outside, the rain is getting heavier again.
Wang Erlang still came back alone to repay his elders that the anger in the married family was gone, and his aunt took the cloth and her attitude became more friendly. She just had to wait for Xiao Jia to finish cutting the clothes before coming back, which would take two or three days at most.
The rain stopped the next day, but gray clouds blocked the sun from time to time, and the country roads were all very muddy. Wang Ge cooked more breakfast and left enough food for lunch for his eldest father and uncle, and insisted on going to the hillside with his eldest mother.
It's really a deep kick and a shallow kick! Mrs. Yao kept complaining: "My wife is really good at choosing a time to go back to her parents' house. We have to get busy as soon as the rain stops, but what about her? She might still be asleep."
"I can see the advantage of being close to my mother's family!"
"My brother went to my sister-in-law's house twice in the rain yesterday, but he didn't bring her back. What's wrong? She still wants to take advantage of the autumn harvest? Then why does our royal family need such a bride?"
Wang He couldn't help it anymore: "My maternal uncle's house is very close, but my mother-in-law doesn't go back even a few times a year, and you can't help but sneak in so many things from Shatun!"
"Hey? You don't have such a donkey face, do you think you can talk to your elders like this?"
Jia Gu: "Okay! Whoever doesn't want to move can just go back and lie down. Don't bother me by nagging!"
Wang Ge remained silent and just helped his eldest mother.
At this time, a team of mules and horses set off from the nearest pavilion, "Linshui Pavilion", and walked slowly towards Jiashe Village. They were all officials of Linshui Pavilion, a total of seventeen people, headed by the pavilion chief and fifteen pavilion soldiers.
people, plus a pavilion man with a special status.
This pavilion man is young Huan Zhen.
Each state and county has an annual budget for road construction, and the section of the earthen road from Linshuiting to Jiashe Village is within the approval limit. The road width in "Yetu" in the suburbs has a fixed standard: five tracks, and only a "mile-marking car" is required.
Once the actual road length is measured, the financial, material and human resources to be invested can be calculated.
The mule pulled the cart, and every time it traveled a mile, the wooden man on the cart beat the drum, and Huan Zhen took a stone knife and carved numbers on the wooden board.
A few feet away from the back of the team, Tie Feng and Tie Lei rode majestic horses, maintaining a close distance. Tie Feng carried the Huanshou Dao on his back; Tie Lei held a bow in his left hand and carried a wooden arrow basket on his back.
According to the wishes of Magistrate Huan, the two brothers are allowed to follow him all the time to protect Huan Zhen's safety... He means that they can only help each other when their lives are at stake!
Huan Zhen is now the "Ting Fu" in Linshui Pavilion who is responsible for cleaning the pavilions and stables. He is the lowest pavilion soldier in the pavilion. The other fifteen pavilion soldiers are either "Qiu Thief" who is responsible for chasing away thieves.
Or "pavilion".
Tie Lei: "Who would have thought that just after skipping school, he would become a country soldier and a stable cleaner."
Tie Feng: "It's just one year, I'll get over it. Alas!" He sighed deeply, sounding more like pity for himself, as he couldn't go back to the prosperous Luoyang for at least a year.
Tie Lei: "When I came back to Jiashe Village last time, the young master was so high-spirited! Look at it now...how many times has he scratched his hair? He must have attracted lice."
Tie Feng: "This is the eleventh time. By the way, were you the one who combed the corners of the young master's hair today?"
