Chapter 184: Change
Liang was shocked by Zhang's tough attitude on the spot, but soon remembered his situation because of the pain in his knees, even if he was unwilling, he had to bow his head and say: "Second sister-in-law, it was my fault that I said those bastard words before, it was my mouth that sprayed feces and my mouth stinks!" For the sake of our concubines, don't worry about me, don't let the officials hold me in prison! You see that these people are all women, if we really enter the prison cell, this life will be ruined, and we are all daughters-in-law of the Xu family, and even your reputation will not be good at that time, don't you say? ”
If it had been placed in the past, perhaps the Zhang family would have relented and agreed for the sake of the Xu family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But now that the Zhang family not only takes care of the Xu house but also helps Xu Xiangwan manage the medicinal food workshop, there have been earth-shaking changes in both the heart and the momentum, and now the children in the family are gradually getting older, and the reputation is more important to them, so after listening to Liang's words, he said even more angrily: "You remember that we are all the Xu family at this time, have you ever thought that we are a family when you scolded those foul words?" You know very well in your heart that we have long separated from you, do you remember how you treated us when we didn't move away from Xujia Village? You treat our mother and son as cattle and horses, and Gorou works in the fields like a man in the prime of life when he is less than ten years old, and my health is poor, and you think that I don't do much, so let me be only six or seven years old Yi'er and Wan'er to wash, cook, and feed the livestock for the whole family, even so, our mother and daughter are often beaten and scolded. These are nothing, and you want to sell my two daughters while I am unconscious? Do you think we're a family? Now that we live with our own hands, you even want to take advantage of it, do you really think that we are still bullying you as before? It's ridiculous! ”
Zhang paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, for the sake of our concubines, and for the sake of the Xu family, I will not do anything this time, as long as you promise not to slander our mother and son in the future, no longer come to our house to make trouble, and live in Xujia Village as your duty, I will not send you to the official this time." If there is a next time, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”
When he said the last sentence, Zhang's tone was extremely cold and serious. Listening to Liang's ears, I only felt a chill all over my body.
After getting Zhang's words, Li Gui ordered the others to stop, coldly glanced at the disheveled women on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Since the bitter masters don't care about this matter, we will no longer arrest you back to the yamen to punish the crime, but if there is a next time, this chamaster will not tolerate it." Mrs. Xu, I would like to advise you below, for this kind of family, it is better not to indulge in the future, and say goodbye! ”
After speaking, Li Gui nodded towards Zhang and left Yumen Lane.
Liang secretly called luck in his heart, he didn't expect that the Zhang family, who was soft and bullying before, would become a difficult tigress, and she would never come here to trouble them in the future, even if there was a cheap advantage, it depended on whether she could get it! I knew that I should have listened to my father-in-law and let my sister-in-law come by myself, otherwise there would be no embarrassment today.
Although Liang was thick-skinned, he was so frightened today, and was pointed at by the onlookers, he got up from the ground at the moment, covered his face and fled without even saying hello.
When the village women who were dragged by the Liang family saw that the leaders were gone, they all got up from the ground one after another, and left in disgrace amid the pointing and insulting voices of the onlookers.
Although the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but if the Liang family scolded them in front of their door today, if they did not react, the surrounding neighbors would definitely make irresponsible remarks about them, which would have a great impact on the reputation of their family. If Zhang's own person is talked about, it will be forgotten, but she can't tolerate the slightest damage to the children's reputation, so Zhang's desperate to tell the past grievances, although outsiders may accuse her of ignoring her husband's face, but this is better than letting the children be wronged.
Xu Xiangwan saw that Zhang's handled the matter well, although he was very happy in his heart, but he pretended to be aggrieved on his face, and threw himself into Zhang's arms with tears in his eyes, and said in his mouth: "Mother, Wan'er is so afraid, Wan'er thought that Grandma and the third aunt were going to sell me and my sister again." ”
Seeing his daughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, Zhang thought that Xu Xiangwan was really frightened by Liang, so he hurriedly hugged Xu Xiangwan with both hands, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid of the evening, even if my mother gives up this life, they won't let them hurt you again, ...... behave."
Although Zhang and the others go out in their own carriage on weekdays and wear veils, they will inevitably attract gossip after many times. In addition, Xu Xiangwan and they have always been very low-key, and the neighbors around them don't know the fact that Zhang's they are the owners of the medicinal food shop, so there are many people behind their backs who chew their tongues and say that Zhang's they must have done some improper hookups, otherwise how could they go out every day?
Through today's events, the surrounding neighbors knew that the mother and son were pitiful, and looking at Zhang's appearance, they didn't look like that kind of frivolous person, and they should be doing serious things on weekdays.
Liang didn't know that instead of ruining the reputation of the Zhang family, her trouble today had reversed the neighbors' bad opinion of them.
On that day, some enthusiastic neighbors and aunts came to Xu's house, but after chatting, they found that Zhang's was doing a good hand of needlework, and they wanted to ask her for advice.
In this way, Zhang's family also has some people who can speak in Yizhou Mansion, especially Mrs. Zhou, whose husband is in the seafood business next door, she is idle all day long, because the two families live closely, they often come to Xu's house to visit the door, and they have become close friends in the boudoir.
There were a lot of people who came to visit the house, and after a long time, naturally some people saw the shopkeeper Wang of the medicinal food workshop to report to Zhang and others, so the fact that Zhang was the boss behind the medicine kitchen was also known to the neighbors.
At this point, the residents of Yumen Lane finally solved the mystery in their hearts, and admired the mother and son of Xu Mansion more, to earn such a family business is still difficult for ordinary men, not to mention a few orphans and widows?
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring of the nineteenth year of Ruihe.
This year, there was finally good news from the northern Xinjiang, since the Great Zhou sent troops to defend the northern Xinjiang, it finally achieved a large-scale victory at the dammed pass, and the commander of this battle was the seventh prince of the Rongwang Mansion, General Han.
