When Hu Zhixing dragged his family to Shirong County to take up his post, he had already carefully calculated on the road, and found that the road that was really bad and could not be driven was less than ten miles away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason is that this section of the road is sandwiched between two loess high slopes, as long as it rains heavily, the mountain will inevitably landslide, I heard that people have been crushed to death in the early years, after years of tossing, the road that could have passed the carriage has become a poor sheep intestine path, and has long been integrated with the high slopes on both sides.

It is such a not particularly long distance, but it has caused countless troubles to people, and when it comes to the place where the carriage cannot go, everyone has to get off the carriage and walk, so that people can pick all the gift boxes and cages to the opposite side, so that they can continue to take the carriage waiting at the intersection to reach Shirong County.

It's really time-consuming, laborious, and very tormenting.

Hu Zhixing and Master Zhou calculated, and the result was that as long as they had money in their hands, it was estimated that it would take more than a month to build this section of the road first.

At the end of October, the pomegranates and persimmons in the mountains can still be stubbled, but if the construction does not start until the public funds are allocated, then this year will be over, and all the fruits will rot to the ground and turn into mud.

The people under Hu Zhixing's pity are miserable, and they want to repair the road, so that everyone can drive out of the mountain smoothly, exchange the new gadgets in the mountains for some money, and at least have a good year, right?

At that moment, as soon as he discussed with Master Zhou, he decided to make donations in his own jurisdiction, and started to repair first, anyway, Lan Hongsen was staring at the appropriation all day long, and he couldn't say that he would be able to continue his trip

Hu Zhixing thinks very beautifully, but the reality is very cruel, there is no way, who makes Shirong County poor? The so-called wealthy households, that is, the ordinary people of Pingjing City, and the landlords with a little bit of family background, are also extremely limited, only no more than one hand, just such a few resources, how many days can they donate money support?

A few days later, Master Zhou came to report, saying that he had to hurry up and get some more silver, otherwise, he would have to stop work.

Hu Zhixing was dumbfounded, the people in the mountains were sincere, and when they heard that the county lord was going to build a road for everyone, they all rushed to tell him that on the day of the start of construction, he volunteered to help spontaneously, and hundreds of people came, which made him enthusiastic!

It's only been a few days, and it's going to stop work again?

"It's not going to work!" Hu Zhixing was suddenly anxious, and after thinking about it, he desperately thought about who else around him was rich, and as a result, within a radius of 100 miles, I am afraid that Grandma Hu has the most wealth.

So, the county magistrate, who was anxious to use the money, hit his wife with the idea!

As soon as this honest man became stronger, Grandma Hu found out that she was not an opponent at all, so she couldn't stop talking, it was useless to cry, she didn't delay getting him a silver ticket, and she went into the house to hold the box by herself!

Grandma Hu immediately panicked, she didn't care about crying, she jumped up and pulled people, but Hu Zhixing is a weak scholar again, but he is also a man, and his strength is much greater than that of a woman.

Grandma Hu tried her best, but she still couldn't pull it, there were many minions in front of her, but who dared to listen to her and go against the uncle?

One by one, their faces were so frightened that their faces and hands trembled, and they only dared to persuade with crying, "Uncle, be careful, don't hurt grandma." ”

"Uncle knock carefully, that box can be hard ......"

After a while, Hu Zhixing won a big victory in the wrestling between husband and wife, and this one opened the small box and left with the money box.

And the house, which had only been settled for a few days, became a mess due to the tearing of the couple.

It looks desolate, not to mention that Grandma Hu lost her money, and she was beaten for the first time in her life, so she was sad in her heart, and felt that the sky was about to fall.

immediately decided to bring people back to Pingjing, even if they can't find someone to call the shots, they have to find a way to make up for this big deficit, and they can't let the children starve and suffer, right?

No, a group of more than a dozen people, riding in a car, walking, tired to death before rushing into the city at dawn, all kinds of sadness, physical and mental exhaustion, it is really difficult for Grandma Hu to cry so hard.

After listening to the situation at that time, Hu Qinghui immediately asked the most critical question, "Zhu Mom, do you remember what the uncle said when he asked the grandmother to take the money?" ”

"Those silvers were temporarily borrowed by the grandmother of the Yamen Guan of Shirong County? Or is your uncle going to donate it himself? ”

A few maids who came back in embarrassment with Grandma Hu, when my mother heard this, she couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, and thought about it for a long time before she spoke.

"Borrowed!"

"Donated!"

There are two kinds of theories, and there are different opinions.

For a while, several maids, and their mothers all felt that what they said was right, and they insisted on their own words, arguing, and the scene suddenly got out of control, and the only good thing was that the noisy Grandma Hu forgot to continue crying, right?

Lan Chun is the eldest maid next to Grandma Hu, seeing that Mrs. Lan's face was impatient, she quickly stood up to stop everyone, "Shut up, don't make noise, say it one by one." ”

said Wan, she was the first to tell what she knew, "Back to Mrs., Miss's words, the maid heard it clearly at the time, and the uncle said, 'Good wife, for the husband is just a temporary loan, can the temporary loan be successful?' When the above money arrives, I will pay you back as soon as I am married! ’”

After listening to this, Zhu Mother waved her hand again and again: "No, the old slave obviously heard the uncle shouting, 'When those ordinary people heard about the road construction, they all donated one copper plate and five copper plates, and those who had no money also had to take a shovel to contribute, your husband and I are the parents and officials here, how can I not donate?' ’”

"Uncle has said so, you still have to donate all the silver?"

Both of these people have their own support, what you say is reasonable, what I said is not a lie, and it was a stalemate for a while.

Grandma Hu was distracted by the words of her henchman and confidant's mother, how could she not understand how big the difference between this donation and borrowing is.

"In the end, did the uncle say that he donated it or lent it out?" Grandma Hu hung her head and was silent, secretly recalling the situation at that time.

However, at that time, she was really angry with Hu Zhixing, the husband and wife have been married for so many years, and it is the first time that she has made a move, and her brain is angry and resentful, and she has long become a mess of paste, what to do and say is based on instinct.

I really can't remember what my man said, Grandma Hu couldn't help but feel sad, and sobbed and said, "He said all these things." ”

After listening to these words, Lan Jiayin felt a little bottom in her heart, she thought, Hu Zhixing is not a fool, let alone a fool.

The fastest thing he can do should be to donate some, and the rest will be borrowed by the public temporarily, and the money allocated by the government will definitely be returned in the future.

After all, that's 14,000 taels, not 14 taels!

Such a large number is not to be laughed at.

Hu Zhixing followed the Lan family all the way, and he himself had personally purchased necessities, and he was not the kind of master who didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Even if he sympathizes with the local people and wants to prove himself by making achievements, he can't be stupid enough to donate so much at one time.

You must know that the county order of Shirong County, a year's Yulu and ice charcoal silver add up, at most six or seven hundred taels of silver, he is a twenty-year-old, newly appointed county master, as soon as he makes a move, he can donate his 20 years of Yulu, doesn't this show that he is a big corrupt official?

It is true that Hu Zhixing wants to make a career, but he will definitely not be dizzy because of this, and he will bring Lao Tzu and his son to sell together.

Besides, isn't there an old Master Zhou by his side?

This is Lord Hu's confidant and a capable person sent to supervise his son, how can this person look at his own uncle and make such a low-level mistake without saying anything to advise?

This matter seems to be a mess, and it is a mess of bad debts, but in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can know what is going on.

It's a pity that Grandma Hu was furious at that time, and she couldn't listen to anything, just holding the money box and not losing her hand, Hu Zhixing was in a hurry, and the husband and wife pushed and shoved, and it was not just Grandma Hu who was angry, and the man was angry, how to relieve his anger and say?

With such a fuss, won't things that were originally clear become unclear?

Thinking about the key during the period, Lan Jiayin turned her face and winked at her mother.

Mrs. Lan glanced at her with a smile, and said softly to Grandma Hu: "You kid, you are really not calm, no matter what Hu Xian's nephew wants to do, you, who are a wife, should ask first and then talk about anything else?" ”

"It's good now, as soon as you hear that you want silver, you are anxious, and you make the husband and wife quarrel in vain, and you make your eyes black, so much money, whether he lent it out or donated it, we don't know, is it worrying about people?"

Grandma Hu wiped a handful of tears with a handkerchief and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, why don't we send someone over to ask?" ”

Thinking of this large amount of money, it is very likely that it was temporarily lent to the public and can come back in the future, the heart-rending pain in her heart has finally eased better.

I thought to myself: "Even if the uncle donates a thousand taels this time, I will admit it!" ”

"But if he donates it all, I have to let the wool come out of the sheep, and you can be the basket for the elder brother, and let the younger sister come."

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Grandma Hu couldn't help but glance at Hu Qinghui who was sitting on the chair opposite.

But seeing that her sister-in-law is Zhou Zheng as always, wearing a plain soft silk placket embroidered gown, and a pearl the size of a thumb is embedded on the hairpin of Xiuyu beads on the sideburns, which exudes a charming light.

's heart is even more determined, "Don't be afraid, Wanwan has a lot of good things there, and if she casually takes out half a box and sells it, she can also plug this big hole." ”

Hu Qinghui was stared at by her burning eyes, and couldn't help but feel something, and raised her eyes to look, but saw that her sister-in-law's eyes were full of light, looking at her own origin.

After a little thought, can you still not know what this person is thinking?

couldn't help but laugh a little, "If you don't close the door and solve the matter by yourself, why did you still knock down the idea in your sister's house, which family's reasoning?" ”

"Don't you want to think about it, is it a shameful good thing to sell your sister-in-law's private house?"

"If you act so absurdly, who will dare to marry your daughter to you as a daughter-in-law in the future? Even Qing'er, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Ruyi's in-laws. ”

At that moment, he couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly complained that his sister-in-law was really a fool, just looking at the small profits in front of her, completely ignoring the overall situation, and with such a character, she was indeed a bad housewife.

Mrs. Lan has no idea about the Hu family's aunt and sister-in-law, the undercurrent is turbulent, and she will also make trouble for Hu Zhixing.

After bowing her head and muttering for a while, she asked her daughter, "Qinqing, look, why don't we let people go to Shirong County?" ”

"Don't say anything else, we have to ask things clearly, we can rest assured, right?"

"Your Uncle Hu entrusted your eldest brother Hu and them to me and your father to take care of, something will happen, how can we, as elders, not care about it?"

Lan Jiayin was silent, looking at the undercurrent between Grandma Hu's aunt and sister-in-law, she was suddenly asked by her mother, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, mother, Brother Hu is worried about his wife, he will definitely send someone to find him, if he can go away, he will have to go by himself." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Grandma Hu's eyes lit up, and she secretly thought: "Let you charge your head outside, if you give in first this time, and see how I settle accounts with you!" ”

Thinking about what Mrs. Lan said just now, she was shocked to realize that she also had a backer, didn't her father-in-law entrust his family to Lord Lan and his wife?

This will be Hu Zhixing's bullying, and Mrs. Lan will have to take care of it!

In this way, Grandma Hu suddenly felt that some of her behaviors today were too often, crying endlessly, and it is estimated that it has also caused people to be unhappy, and it is time to make up for her image.

Grandma Hu made up her mind, immediately stood up and walked to the hall, solemnly saluted Mrs. Lan, and said sadly, "Auntie, you must be the master of your nephew and daughter-in-law, now the emperor is far away, and the in-laws are not around, and no one can control the uncle." ”

"Please look at that pair of poor children and Wanwan's face, you must administer justice for our mothers."

"Oops, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Lan hurriedly helped Grandma Hu up in person, and comforted her with kind words: "Since you husband and wife have followed us out of the house, if you are in trouble, how can your aunt sit idly by?" ”

"You don't have to be afraid, stay with the child first, wait until the matter is clear, and then we will make a decision."

While talking, she thought of the question of where Grandma Hu lived, and turned her face and asked, "Mother Hu, Brother Sen and Ade live in the east courtyard, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are not easy to live, so it is better to ......."

Mother Hu curtsied sharply when she heard this, and said with a smile, "If Mrs. Hui said, when the slave maid saw that Grandma Hu's family came back, she had already asked people to clean up the Qingguang Courtyard, which is also close to Miss Hu's courtyard, but it is very cheap." ”

"Grandma just move with the slave maid, go to Qingguang Courtyard to wash and change clothes first, and rest for a while."

After tossing for so long, Grandma Hu has long been tired, just a breath, this will know that there is still room for things, my heart is relieved, I feel that my legs and feet are weak, my hair is dizzy, I nodded weakly, and whispered to Mother Hu, "I'm tired of Mother Hu" (to be continued. )
