Chapter 119: Plotted by Someone
The good spirit is not bad, as Zhao Siniang expected, her family's constant production in the town - exposed!
According to Zhao Yongxiao, after the end of the show yesterday, Zhao Qiao's family saw that it was getting late, so he let Zhao Chenglan stay at Lao Zhao's house. Who knew that after nightfall, Zhao Yongnian, who had already returned to the town, suddenly turned back again, and there was a group of officials with him.
As soon as those officials came up, they blocked the gate of Lao Zhao's house with great vigour, and then arrested Zhao Chenglan on the charge of adultery.
Such a powerful incident not only stunned the old Zhao family, but even the entire Zhaojia Village was a sensation!
Their old parents in Jinghai County have always been low-key in their lives, and they don't even have a sense of existence with the three classes of officials in the yamen, and they walk around the county at most on weekdays, almost extinct in Changle Town and nearby villages. However, yesterday, the government was unusual, and all the officials poured out of the nest, just to catch a woman who had no power to tie the chicken.
If you want to say that you are afraid that the prisoner will be too cunning and prevent her from resisting arrest and escaping, then you should act in secret. But on the contrary, whether it was before or after the arrest, a large group of people led by the head catcher gathered at the gate of Lao Zhao's house, shouting loudly how Zhao Chenglan was honest and shameless, and did not abide by women's morals, so that no one in a radius of ten miles knew it. When his voice was hoarse, the official who seemed to be particularly dedicated that day swaggered and grabbed Zhao Chenglan to go back to the errand.
Before leaving, Zhao Chenglan, who was embarrassed and angry, gave her dear second brother a vicious eye knife.
In fact, it's not that Zhao Yongnian's ideological consciousness has suddenly improved qualitatively, and he automatically and consciously did the righteous act of killing his relatives. In fact, the official first went to Zhao Chenglan's in-law's house to arrest people, but he fell short. With such a large group of people dispatched, why are you embarrassed to return in such vain, right? So according to the insider's tip, the official immediately aimed at the Zhao family's old shop not far away.
Zhao Xu's two families are on the same North Street, and the government is such a big battle, Zhao Yongnian, who usually does a lot of bad things, suddenly felt that something was wrong after hearing the news, and subconsciously wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet. In fact, he was trying to buy time. didn't bother to inform his wife and children, so he cleaned up some softness alone, and was about to sneak away quietly in the night. But he didn't think that he was still a step slower, but he was blocked by the officials.
When I learned that the government just wanted to arrest Zhao Chenglan. Don't do his own business, Zhao Yongnian, who "knows the times", immediately led people to round up this girl who has always been close to her.
I don't know if it's because of the grudge against the eye knife, Zhao Yongnian, who was originally "forced to be helpless" and killed his relatives righteously, still felt a little guilty in his heart, but after being despised by Zhao Chenglan, he behaved even more righteously. announced in public that he would sever the brother-sister relationship with the morally corrupt Zhao Chenglan from now on. This is not enough, when Zhao Qiaoshi cried and shouted to save Zhao Chenglan back, the first "filial piety and reasonableness" of the old Zhao family, he faced the appeal of the old lady, not only should not, but also took the initiative to run to persuade the old man Zhao, and his father agreed to let Zhao Chenglan fend for himself.
Among Mr. Zhao's four sons, if the eldest son he remembers the most in his heart, and the third son who uses it most easily, then the second son is the most compatible with him. In fact, there is no need for Zhao Yongnian's persuasion. The old man Zhao, who had a good calculation, had already decided to give up this girl as early as the moment the government came, and Zhao Yongnian persuaded him like this, but he handed him a ladder.
The villagers generally favor sons over daughters, and few people regard their daughters as heavier than their sons. But Zhao Qiao's strange man treats his two honest sons as cattle envoys, but he is obedient to his two daughters, and his partiality makes people feel angry. But if you think about it carefully, Zhao Qiao's person seems to be shrewd but is actually stupid, and coupled with her distorted mind, it is not surprising that she would do such a thing. But Old Man Zhao is different. He has always been a successful person, such a person was very admonished in the early years, but in recent years, he has been uncharacteristically messing around with Zhao Qiao's family, which is a little puzzling.
Actually. It's not surprising to say that Old Man Zhao would do this, precisely because he was good at calculating gains and losses, and he felt that this was not a loss-making deal - one day he would be able to get the capital back from the two daughters.
It turned out that ** years ago, Mr. Zhao met an old man who claimed to be very profound. People don't charge much, but their skills are very strong. pinched his fingers and told Old Man Zhao that he would be blessed endlessly. also swore that the girls of their old Zhao family would be rich and unparalleled in the future, and asked him to treat the girls in the family well.
Everyone likes to listen to good words, and most people in the world will listen to them happily, but whether they will believe it or not, and how many percent they will believe, it varies from person to person.
On weekdays, based on how fanciful the Taoist priest said, he could only deceive the ignorant and ignorant mother-in-law of Zhao Qiao's family, and the old man Zhao, who had been the big shopkeeper, would never believe it. However, that day, the old man Zhao believed it-who let the family point out his shady selfishness between words, and he didn't even tell Zhao Qiao, who was sleeping in a bed, about it. That old Taoist can even calculate such a secret thing, it is definitely a great immortal! What Daxian said, he couldn't help but believe it! So Mr. Zhao, who believed in that rhetoric, began to spare no effort to invest in the two daughters, in order to repay later.
Later, the facts seem to have proved that Mr. Zhao was right to do this: the well-bred eldest daughter is smart and clever, and she married a big family in the town, although she is still a little far from the "rich and unparalleled", but in the past few years, she has moved things to her mother's house, and has already earned back the capital for the old Zhao family; The second daughter, who has been pampered since childhood, is enchanting and seductive, and as soon as she goes to the county seat, she finds a powerful and wealthy son-in-law, and the old Zhao family's soaring is just around the corner.
However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and the things that were expected to happen frequently changed, and some people began to gradually get out of the control of Old Man Zhao. Now that Zhao Chenglan caused this incident, he caught Old Man Zhao off guard.
However, Mr. Zhao is a decisive man, when he realized that his eldest daughter would not be able to turn over in this life and could not complete the old Zhao family's dream of wealth for him, he did not hesitate to give up this chess piece.
All the calculations in Old Man Zhao's stomach, only Zhao Yongnian, who has always been in tune with him, can guess one or two, but his own father is so cold that I am afraid that even Zhao Yongnian did not expect it, and as for outsiders, it is even more impossible to think of it.
Because no one stopped him, a group of officials quickly pulled Zhao Chenglan away. However, the front of Lao Zhao's house was not deserted because of this, and it was still full of people and lively.
Zhao Chenglan made such a shameless lawsuit, not only the old Zhao family was greatly implicated, but even the daughters of the entire Zhao family also fell into bad luck. The village elders who were extremely angry scolded Old Man Zhao for teaching his daughter in no way, and scolded him until he couldn't hold it anymore before he went home.
The old Zhao family has done a lot of injustice, and always does something despicable, and many people in the village are inconvenient to say it clearly, but they all scold his family in their hearts for deserving it. Seeing that the old man Zhao's father and son were like frosted eggplants, Zhao Qiao's mother and daughter were crying and making trouble, wailing everywhere, and the villagers who were good friends with Zhao Yongzhong's family did not persuade them, and they didn't even bother to do anything, so they withdrew.
However, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, some people are "indifferent", and some people are "warm in the ancient way".
Zhao Yongliang, who lives in the east of the village, is a big guy in the town, and he is busy making money, sometimes he doesn't even have time to go home, and he didn't see how close his family was to the old Zhao family in the west of the village, but last night he took the initiative to stay and give advice to Old Man Zhao. Perhaps this is "seeing the truth in adversity"?
The warm-hearted Zhao Yongliang should think that Old Man Zhao is so close to his precious girl? In the cold late night, he was not in a hurry to go home, so he sat alone on the cold bench of Lao Zhao's house, earnestly persuaded Mr. Zhao not to be in a hurry and not to get angry, and kindly reminded him that he also had a filial son who opened a shop in Jiangjiatan and made a lot of money. By the way, Zhao Yongliang also told Mr. Zhao that his good son is really developed, and the first shop on South Street is now in his son's arms, tsk, it is a prosperous shop with a market value of six hundred taels!
At this point, what else does Zhao Siniang not understand? Her family was overshadowed.
It's just that in her memory, Zhao Yongzhong has always been kind to others, and she has never heard of a good man who has had a quarrel with that Zhao Yongliang, so why did Zhao Yongliang spare no effort to make trouble for her family? Is it just because Zhao Yongliang saw that her family was doing well, and his eyes were red and jealous, so he couldn't help but make a stumbling block?
Zhao Siniang shook her head puzzled. Anyway, if you don't understand, then you don't want to think about it for the time being, she has more important things to ask Zhao Yongxiao about at this time.
"Separation? This ......" Zhao Yongxiao hesitated.
"Fourth uncle, if I can, I would also like to live happily with a family, and be filial to my father and son every day...... It's just, is this possible in Lao Zhao's house? Zhao Siniang saw that Zhao Yongxiao still didn't express his position, and said: "It's not for you, you have to think about the aunt of the Li family!" Over the years, you have also seen it in your eyes, and you know very well what kind of life my aunt is living, and what kind of life my mother is living, alas, that life can also be called a life? That's a complete sin, wow! You can't bear to let my fourth aunt suffer this crime? ”
"Alas, Siniang, I might as well make a decision with you, in fact, I thought about the separation of the family last night,......" Zhao Yongxiao gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I want to split up!" I can't stay in the old Zhao family anymore! It's just, it's just your ......."
"Of course we won't let you go! But as long as you have this heart, fourth uncle, there is nothing you can't do, at most you will be scolded by our grandmother for being unfilial!
Fourth uncle, everyone wants the reputation of filial piety, but it depends on whether it is worth it! In my opinion, if you can really get out of the sea of suffering, it is nothing to be said by those who are irrelevant.
Although his old Zhao family has already lost money, the Li family's matter still has a great impact in ten miles and eight townships, so it is better to use this momentum to completely divide the family......
Zhao Siniang muttered for a long time, and she didn't know how much Zhao Yongxiao listened, and was about to continue to persuade, but saw her father pulling the car carrying Dr. Shen to the door, knowing that the time was not right, so she didn't say more, and watched the three of them leave.
