162 has the upper hand
Zhang Mashi couldn't help but be happy when she thought of the Su family's deflated appearance, she already had an idea in her heart, and saw her say to Zhang Ximu: Ximu, wait for you to lead the way for the guy in the coffin shop and let him send the things to our house.
Zhang Ximu felt wrong when he heard this, and he asked: Mother, what about you?
Zhang Mashi held his head high and said: I will take you and the three of them to Sujia Village, I don't believe that Su Liu dares to choke with me this time! The handle of Sujia Village is in her hands, and she sees that those people still dare to be arrogant.
Zhang Ximu was worried: Mother, last time our village tore its face with Sujia Village, you just bring a few cousins over, they will definitely bully us, or let's go back to the village first, call people, and then go to Sujia Village.
Zhang Ma said very confidently: No need, I will take Su Guihua today and let her marry your brother, as for the Su family. Zhang Mashi snorted lightly, she looked left and right, and then lowered her voice and said: They have a handle in our hands, don't dare to mess around, cherish the wood, you remember, if your mother didn't go back before dark, then you will take our villagers to Sujia Village!
Mother, my brother is dead, this marriage......
You don't have to worry about this, when your brother was alive, Su Guihua refused to marry, so let her marry your brother, this is what she asked for! Zhang Mashi was angry when he mentioned this, if it weren't for the refusal of their Su family, your brother might still be alive! By the way, there is also the dead pork, which was sent by Su Liu's family, if she didn't send it, your brother wouldn't have died so early!
Zhang Ximu hurriedly covered her mouth and said: Mother, be quiet, you can't talk nonsense about dead pork.
When Zhang Mashi heard this, she was afraid for a while, and after a while, she said: Let's go to the coffin shop, come, you take the four taels of silver, and when the guy in the store delivers the things to our house, you will give him the silver.
Zhang Mashi said as he walked to the coffin shop with Zhang Ximu, and halfway through, Zhang Mashi suddenly said: The guy in the shop is a person, and you are also a person, if he has a bad heart, you may not be his opponent, in this way, you take someone back to the village together, and your mother will take two people to Sujia Village.
Zhang Ximu refused: Mother, you are underestimating me, I am a man, I can still be afraid of a shopkeeper, I have been farming since I was a child, not to mention the rest, this body must be stronger than the people in the town.
Zhang Mashi coaxed: When the time comes, I will have to ask someone to help carry the coffin, so let's keep one more person.
Zhang Ximu agreed.
They walked very fast, but after a while they arrived at the coffin shop, the owner of the coffin shop saw them back, the smile on his face was a little stiff, he miscalculated this time, he didn't take the reward money, and lost face, fortunately, the person who bought the coffin in Zhangjiacun didn't know that he made people report to the official.
The owner of the coffin shop pretended that nothing had happened, he greeted him and said with a smile: You are back, I have loaded this thing for you, when will you leave?
After speaking, the owner of the coffin shop pointed behind him, the coffin was placed in a special car driver, there were two horses in front of him, and the shroud had been folded and put in the coffin, the owner of the coffin shop pointed out the things to Zhang Ma one by one, Zhang Ma nodded with satisfaction and said: Okay, this is like doing business.
After Zhang Ma finished speaking, he said: Then according to what we said before, wait for the things to be delivered to my door, and then give the remaining four taels of silver.
The owner of the coffin shop nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
After discussing, the owner of the coffin shop specially selected a man with a raw eye to deliver the coffin, and only Zhang Ximu and a young man about his age were his cousins.
If it weren't for relatives, who in the village would be willing to help run here and there, and at the critical time, blood relations would be the most reliable.
Zhang Ma and two other villagers drove a donkey to Sujia Village, Zhang Ma only felt that time passed too slowly, why hadn't he arrived in Sujia Village yet?
The donkey cart swayed, and I don't know how long it took, Zhang Mashi finally saw the entrance of Sujia Village, her face was full of joy, her eyes were shining, she also deliberately sat on the front of the donkey cart, she was full of fighting spirit, she deliberately wanted the people of Sujia Village to see her, she just came to look for trouble!
The door of the old Su family was unusually wide open, and Aunt Su stood at the door, looking at Zhang Mashi with a sneer: Yo, what kind of wind blew you here, what's the matter, it's here again?
Zhang Ma got out of the donkey cart, she slowly walked to Uncle Su, she slapped Uncle Su in the face, snap, the voice was crisp and loud, Uncle Su didn't even react, until there was a hot pain on her face, she realized that she had been beaten!
She was beaten in front of her own house in her village!
Uncle Su was furious, how could she swallow this breath, she immediately pounced on Zhang Ma's to beat him, Zhang Ma's stood still, she only said: You villagers have bought dead pork, and you have eaten it.
Uncle Su's movements froze.
Zhang Ma sneered, and said: The last time you mentioned my family, it was dead pork, right?
Uncle Su stiffened her neck and denied: You are talking nonsense, where is the pork killed by the pigs produced in our village, where is the sick and dead pork.
Zhang Ma said slowly: Oh, then do you know that the town's catchers are arresting people who eat dead pork, and they will be locked up after being caught, I heard that there are several villages that have been arrested and know that they have eaten dead pork, and now the village is fenced off, and they are not allowed to enter or leave, and things are only sent over, as if they are in a prison cell.
Aunt Su looked at her vigilantly: What do you want to do with this?
Zhang Ma laughed: Of course, I want to marry your osmanthus in the past, last time your village people beat away the greeting team, but this time there is no greeting team, so this donkey cart can only carry the bride back. The corners of her mouth were raised, but her eyes were very cold, and there was no temperature at all.
Aunt Su shouted: Don't think about it!
Zhang Ma's face suddenly turned cold: Okay, since this is the case, then I will poke out the fact that you bought dead pork, and see if you can survive when the time comes.
Uncle Su was not fooled: I also sent it to your family, and you still have to be involved. There are difficulties together.
Zhang Ma said unhurriedly: The meat is still in my house, but it already stinks, if you don't believe it, go and take a look, if you catch it quickly, I can still show them the meat, and when they confirm it, my family will naturally not be implicated. Zhang Ma was lying, but her expression was extremely calm, and there was no trace of lying.
Uncle Su's breathing became rapid.
Zhang Mashi forced: Okay, if you don't want to, just let's see. With that, she turned around, as if to get back on the donkey cart, and leave the place.
Aunt Su was already frightened by this, at this time she saw that Zhang Ma was leaving, so she stepped forward to pull Zhang Ma away, she said stiffly: Don't, let's discuss this matter, discuss it slowly, if your family really wants to marry, then, pick a good day, I will marry my daughter, and the reputation will be good.
Zhang Mashi held his head high: No, just today, it will not be outdated.
Aunt Su was a little annoyed, she couldn't wait to finish the eye-catching slut in front of her, but unfortunately she didn't dare, she gritted her teeth and said: Then you go to the official and let the government seal our village, I don't believe you alone, and dare to go against our whole village!
Seeing that Uncle Su was so stubborn, Zhang Mashi said with a dark face: Okay, you wait for me.
After Zhang Mashi finished speaking, she got into the donkey cart, she did not leave the village, but drove the donkey cart to the village of Sujia Village, looking in this direction, it seemed to go to Lizheng's house.
Aunt Su saw that Zhang Mashi went to Lizheng's house, she hurriedly went back to the house and told Uncle Su about it.
Uncle Su thought for a while and said: This is Sujia Village, she doesn't dare to mess around, it's a big deal, let's tie people up, lock them up for a few months, and then release them when the matter of dead pork is over.
Aunt Su was a little worried: Where will you agree?
Uncle Su stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to you." Uncle Su took two steps, then turned back to Uncle Su and said: I have to tell my father and mother about this, don't be idle, hurry up, it's best to talk to the third brother too, let him keep an eye on it.
Uncle Su said: Okay, I'll go here.
So, the husband and wife acted separately, Uncle Su went to Lizheng's house, and Uncle Su went to Su Guihua's house first, she directly took Su Guihua's hand and said: Osmanthus, the Zhang family is here again, hurry up, lie on the bed, I will go to the kitchen to get some hot water to cover your face, you quickly cover the quilt and cover your body hot, and then I will say that you are sick.
When Su Guihua heard this, her face turned white all of a sudden: Mother, is that Zhang family here again? Didn't you say to beat them away?
Uncle Su sighed and said: Let's talk about this later, you lie down quickly, I have to go to your grandparents and tell them about this.
Su Guihua came out with a thick quilt from the cabinet, she took off her coat and lay on the bed, and then covered the thick quilt on her body, but after a while, her body temperature rose.
Seeing this, Su Dabolang also went to the kitchen, scooped the hot water from the stove into the wooden basin, and then brought it to Su Guihua's house, she went to Mrs. Su's house after doing this, Mrs. Su was flossing her teeth, she was getting older, and she would stuff it between her teeth when she ate something, so she took the time to clean her teeth every day, if she didn't clean her teeth, it would hurt so much that she couldn't stand it the next day.
When Mrs. Su saw Aunt Su, she put down the bamboo stick and asked: I saw that people were talking at the door for a long time, who came?
Uncle Su said: It is Zhang Xiucai's daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Su frowned: Is it for Osmanthus again? Or do you want to give her son Chongxi?
Aunt Su nodded slowly.
Mrs. Su said: This family affair has been decided, if you don't return this dowry, this marriage is just a matter of time, now that Zhang Xiucai's son is not in good health, you dislike him, think about it, you don't retreat from this family affair, wait for the day the child is really gone, will Osmanthus marry or not? According to me, it's better to marry while he is alive, Chong Chongxi is good, if this can't be saved, if he dies in the future, let's osmanthus and remarry with a dowry, isn't it the same! You, you just can't carry it, if you don't marry the osmanthus, the things that the Zhang family gave to our family before and after are all returned, how cost-effective!
Mrs. Su is very good at calculating, and then again, there is really a little truth in what she said.
Uncle Su really didn't know how to refute it.
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside the door, in addition to the sound of the donkey's hooves, there was also the sound of someone talking, and Aunt Su immediately thought that Zhang Ma was here again!
Uncle Su didn't have time to say more to Mrs. Su, she stood up and rushed out, she went to Osmanthus's house first, stuffed the thick quilt of Osmanthus into the cabinet, and then poured hot water into the yard, and she hurriedly put the wooden basin back in the kitchen.
As soon as it was put away, Li Zheng came in with Zhang Ma's family, Uncle Su came in with them, and Li Zheng took people directly to Old Man Su's house, which had to be told to the head of the house, and it was useless to tell others.
When Aunt Su saw this posture, she was startled, this girl's marriage is a big deal, why don't you tell her and go directly to the old man! Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Uncle Su took the initiative to follow her into the house, and at the same time, Uncle Su also called Uncle Su over, and Dashan, who was injured, had a swollen face, but was still called over by Uncle Su.
When Aunt Su saw Uncle Su walk in, she pulled him and asked, "What's the matter, so exciting?"
Uncle Su glanced at Uncle Su: It's all a good thing you did!
Aunt Su looked confused: What's wrong? What did I do, why didn't I know? She really didn't understand.
Uncle Su pulled Uncle Su aside, gritted his teeth and said: The dead pork you sent to Zhang's family poisoned Zhang Liangmu! That Zhang Ma reported this matter to Lizheng, and said that if our village didn't give an explanation, she would stab this matter to the yamen!
Aunt Su was startled: What, Zhang Liangmu is dead? Then what should our daughters do, they still have a marriage contract!
Uncle Su glared at Uncle Su: You stupid woman, the marriage contract is a fart, but now it is a life lawsuit, if it is not done well, let alone our family, our village may be implicated! The county magistrate has investigated the matter of dead pork, don't you know about it? Yes! When Zhang Ma said that he was going to sue the official, you didn't take it seriously, do you know, if you anger her, we won't be able to eat and leave!
Uncle Su said: I don't believe she has such a big ability!
Uncle Su said: Her husband is a showman, do you say that the county master listens to him as a showman or listens to our ordinary people? Besides, when you really get to the Yamen, that Xiucai is superior, and you don't have to kneel when you see an official!
Aunt Su was afraid and angry: That Zhang Liangmu is dead, this Zhang Ma still wants Osmanthus to marry, what is this trying to do, is it possible that she still wants Osmanthus to marry a dead man?
Uncle Su shook his sleeves and said: How do I know, look at what my father said to Li, I can't be the master of this matter.
When Aunt Su heard this, she panicked, she pulled Uncle Su and said: You are her father of Osmanthus, if you don't help her, who will help her! Dad, you know, you can do anything for the sake of the whole family, and Lizheng, as long as he hears that this matter involves the entire village, he will definitely force us to listen to that Ma Shi's words!
Aunt Su died in a hurry.
As he was talking, the voice of the old man Su came from there: This matter is so decided, you can take the osmanthus away, but let's say okay, if you take people away, then Liangmu's death has nothing to do with our Su family, and the matter of this dead pork, you are not allowed to show a word, if something happens to our village, your village will not want to get out.
Zhang Mashi smiled: Okay, very good, then it's decided, what about the osmanthus people, let her come out, it's not early this day, we should also go.
Li Zhengdao: No, you just say that I don't believe it, let's make a note.
Zhang Mashi said: I don't know a single big character, what kind of evidence to set up, besides, if it is really a written note, wait for the arrest to come and check, then the ready-made evidence, what do you say?
When Li Zheng heard this, he frowned: Then what do you say, we can't believe your words just because you don't report to the official.
Uncle Zhang suddenly said: If his Zhang family reported to the official that Zhang Liangmu ate dead pork, then Zhang Xiucai's family must have also eaten dead pork, it makes no sense that Zhang Liangmu ate it, and others didn't eat it. If they want to cross the river and demolish Qiao to confess our village, let's not say anything else, just drag them into the water, and they will die together.
Li Zheng smiled reassuringly, he patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder and said: You are still smart, uncle, Xiao San is really good.
Old man Su was very happy when he heard this.
Zhang Ma wanted to take the osmanthus away, but Aunt Su stopped her, she said: No, my osmanthus is seriously ill and can't get up, I'm afraid I can't go back with you, otherwise, I'll talk about this matter when she gets better.
Zhang Mashi looked at her with a smile: It's not bad to be seriously ill, if you die, just be a companion with my son, what do you say?
