Chapter 62: A Girl in Filial Clothes
"Oh my God, this family actually poisoned their own father in order to slander the doctor!"
Zhou Xing muttered melon seeds while telling Zhang Shan a story.
Zhang Shan's face was unhappy, and while peeling melon seeds, he said, "This Li family has no conscience, because his family is poor, and Dr. Wei doesn't charge for treating their family every time, and they use medicinal materials for nothing, and now they actually lie to Dr. Wei, it's really not a thing!"
"It's not that I didn't get it. β
The man's face softened slightly, "That's, how can Doctor Wei let them bully casually?"
The girl grabbed the melon seeds that the man had peeled, filled them into her mouth, and squinted her eyes with satisfaction while chewing it in a big gulp.
"Guess who?"
Zhang Shan shook his head with a smirk while peeling melon seeds, "I can't guess, it won't be Lao Litou's wife, right?"
Zhou Xing smacked her lips, "It's his wife!"
"And his third son!"
His wife and son teamed up to poison him.
"Alas, old Li Tou is so pitiful. β
Zhang Shan scratched his head, "Is it because Lao Li Tou is paralyzed? Lao Li Tou has been paralyzed for several years, how can it be?"
"How not?"
Zhou Xing slowly analyzed him, "The third child of his family hooked up with Widow Zhao, and he didn't have the money to build a house, so he had to partner up to kill his father and blackmail Dr. Wei's money, so wouldn't he have the money to build a new house and get married?"
Zhang Shan thought for a while, "Doesn't Widow Zhao's family have a house?"
"Uh...... "The girl thinks it makes sense, "That's the money spent to get married?"
Zhang Shan shook his head, "It doesn't cost a lot of money for the peasant family to get married. β
What's more, it's better to marry a widow, and don't need any heavy dowry, and it can cost a few dollars to set up a few tables.
Just now, Zhou Xing still looked like she knew everything, and when Zhang Shanyi said it, she felt a little unreasonable.
Zhang Shan asked again: "What about the rat poison that Mrs. Hou went to buy?"
"Yes, I bought it from the old grandson. β
"Why did the old grandson give Hou Pozi fake medicine?"
"Where does the peasant family have any surplus grain at this time? Buying rat poison at this time is not pure for the purpose of seeing!"
Every time the harvest came, the peasant family handed over the public grain, kept some rations, and the rest was taken away by the grain store.
By this time, there was not much left of the rations, and they had to wait for the summer harvest to make up for it.
"Old Sun Tou still sells fake medicines when he sees the time?"
Zhou Xing......
"Probably. β
"Mrs. Hou is buying rat poison for Widow Zhao?"
Mrs. Hou and Widow Zhao were on good terms, and Widow Zhao asked her for rat poison, so she went to buy it for her. β
"Widow Zhao won't buy it herself?"
Zhou Xing......
"How do I know! Anyway, that's what they say. β
The girl was a little annoyed and angry, a case that made sense was originally very reasonable, but she was entangled by Zhang Shan's nonsense, and she felt that it didn't make sense.
"Anyway, this is how the village chiefs of Wujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang interrogated and escorted Widow Zhao, the third child of the Li family, and the old lady Li to the town. β
The girl snorted, "What's the matter, you are more powerful than the two village chiefs?"
Zhang Shan smiled innocently, "I just don't think it's comprehensible, I think they are not here to slander Dr. Wei, but more like they are going for Dr. Wei's reputation." β
"That ruined Dr. Wei's reputation, what benefits can they get?"
The girl spread her hands, "It's still to make sense for Dr. Wei to give some silver." β
Before Zhang Shan could say anything, there was a gentle knock at the gate.
Zhou Xing grabbed the melon seeds on the table, filled them into her mouth, and said vaguely, "You continue to peel them, and I'll open the door." β
As he spoke, he bounced and went.
Zhang Shan looked at her jumping back, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
The door opened, and there stood a pretty girl outside the door, with thin eyes and bent eyebrows, a curled nose and pursed lips, a black hair tied into a hanging bun, and a white gauze flower on the side.
The white waist spring shirt, the neckline and placket are embroidered with green vine flowers, the raven blue horse-faced skirt, the wide skirt swings lightly with the wind, revealing the embroidered green vine flowers at the corners of the skirt and the white embroidered shoes embroidered with green vine flowers on the feet.
I want to be pretty and filial piety.
Zhou Xing looked at her blankly and forgot to speak for a while.
The girl was also stunned when she saw Zhou Xing, and looked at her with a little suspicion.
Round eyes and long eyebrows, high nose and thin lips, a round goose egg face is smooth and fair, without any fat powder, black hair is pulled into an ordinary double bun, and no hairpin rings are worn.
A spring shirt embroidered with pomegranate red embroidered light peach and apricot blossoms, black trousers, black cloth shoes, a typical peasant girl's dress, but she looks slender and tall, concave and convex.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you looking for?"
The two girls asked questions almost simultaneously.
One softly spoken, the other loud and flattering.
The delicate girl in filial piety looked up at the lintel and said softly: "Excuse me, is this Zhang Shan's house?"
Zhou Xing's slender Yuanshan eyebrows were slightly raised, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, who is this girl?
Thinking of the joke that Master Zheng came to make last time, Zhou Xing didn't lie immediately, and smiled slightly, "Who are you Zhang Shan?"
The girl in filial piety rolled her eyes for half a circle, saw the vigilance and defense of the girl in front of her, and smiled softly, "I, I am Brother Zhangshan's ......"
The last few words were very vague, Zhou Xing didn't understand it at all, and before she was about to ask, she heard Zhang Shan walk out of the house.
"Who? Zhou Xing. β
Hearing this voice, the girl in filial piety immediately looked over with tears in her eyes.
"Brother Shanβ"
Zhou Xingyi pursed her lips and returned the mountain song, do you want to sing it?
Zhang Shan looked over Zhou Xing's little head at the visitor.
"Yao Yao?"
Shake it?
Zhou Xing glanced back at the man dissatisfied, and Yao Yao took the opportunity to squeeze her out of the door and enter.
"Brother Shanβ"
Grabbing Zhang Shan's arm, Yao Yao cried.
The slender eyes stared at the man, and the tears rolled down one after another like beads with broken threads.
She was already delicate, and she was wearing a white flower and a filial piety dress, and she was crying silently at the moment, which perfectly interpreted the words pear blossom with rain.
Will cry.
"Don't cry, Yao Yao, what's wrong?"
It's okay not to ask, but when she asked, Yao Yao cried even more fiercely.
Zhang Shan couldn't coax people, so he had to watch her hang on his arm and cry endlessly.
Zhou Xing frowned and stood aside, not knowing what to say, but looking at the appearance of the two of them, she was very unhappy.
Finally stopped crying, Yao Yao said, "Brother Shan, my father, my father, he went-"
As he spoke, he began to cry again.
Shocking.
Zhang Shan couldn't believe it, and asked in a daze, "You said that the master went, and the master is not yet forty years old!"
Yao Yao only cried and didn't speak.
If I'm not mistaken, this is Master Zhang Shan's daughter, a girl who wants to marry Zhang Shan.
It turns out to be very good-looking.
"Brother Shan, I, I, I don't have any relatives anymore, I'm just alone-"
Yao Yao said and cried again.
Zhang Shan stiffened one arm and let her cry, raised his other hand to scratch his head, and comforted, "Don't cry, don't, you still have me." β
This girl and her father depend on each other, and when her father goes, she is also pitiful.
It's just that, looking at the huge burden outside the door, Zhou Xing was a little stunned for a while.
Alone, is this going to Zhang Shan?
"I don't dare to live alone in the store, Brother Shan, I, I only have you......"
A bolt from the blue.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Shan in a daze, live together?
Zhang Shan looked back at his two thatched houses, "That's it, you live in my house first, I'll clean up the warehouse, and I'll live." β
Zhou Xing's heart sank, walked outside the door in two steps, and walked in with Yao Yao's baggage.
"It's not suitable for you to live here in Zhangshan, a lonely man and a widow, and you will be gossiped about. β
Yao Yao glanced back at Zhou Xing, moved closer to Zhang Shan's side for half a minute, put her forehead on Zhang Shan's shoulder, and cried again.
Zhang Shan waved his hand at Zhou Xing, "Don't worry about that, the master has gone, where can she go alone?"
Zhou Xing glared at him secretly, stepped forward, pulled Yao Yao by the hand, and pulled her away from Zhang Shan's shoulder.
"Shake girl, it's not appropriate for you to lean on Zhang Shan like this. β
Yao Yao's face suddenly turned pink, "Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Shan." β
As he spoke, he took out a goose-yellow handkerchief and wiped his face gently, "I, I'm out of shape." β
Zhang Shan said innocently, "It's okay, it's okay, I know that the master is gone, and you are uncomfortable." β
Yao Yao's eyes were red, she looked at Zhou Xing timidly, and then looked at Zhang Shan pleadingly, "Brother Shan, I know that my stay in your house will cause you trouble, but, but, I really have nowhere to go-"
As he spoke, tears crackled and fell again.
"I know, I know, you live in peaceβ"
Before Zhang Shan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Xing.
"If you don't dislike it, you can stay with me. β
Zhou Xing put Yao Yao's burden on her shoulders, "My family is much better than Zhang Shan's family." β
