Chapter 186: Silence the Rumors
After the death of the village chief, Ling'er was lazy and didn't go out at home all day long, but he didn't know that the gossip outside not only did not disperse, but became more and more intense, and even the people who rented shops in the town took the initiative to come to the door to return the rent, and the reason was of course very unpleasant.
Daqiang and Ning Shu were indignant and discussed countermeasures in private, Daqiang gritted his teeth and said: "This is obviously malicious slander, we have all released the news, and there are so many people talking nonsense, there must be someone behind the scenes." ”
Ning Shu thought for a while: "Brother Da Qiang, otherwise, let's secretly track down and find out who is making trouble." ”
"Check, I want to check too, where can I start?"
"This ...... I have a way, Brother Da Qiang, don't tell your father and sister Ling'er about this, wait for my news. After Ning Shu finished speaking, he hurriedly went out.
Ling'er was lazily leaning under the window to read, but saw the tenth sister rushing in with a red face: "Sister Ling'er, woo~~~ Wow!!!!!! ”
Before the tenth sister could say anything, she burst into tears, Ling'er was startled, and quickly threw away the book and hugged her: "What's wrong with the tenth sister?" Who bullied you? Tell your sister and she will fix them for you. ”
The tenth sister sniffed and raised her head: "Sister Ling'er, they scolded you, I hate them, I won't play with them anymore." ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, although she hasn't gone out these days, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything, the wall has ears, and those crazy words and crazy words The maids in her yard will also mumble quietly, but she is completely uneasy and doesn't pay attention to it.
"Tenth sister, don't cry, come. Sister rubs it for you. ”
The tenth sister looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Sister Ling'er, they say you ......"
Ling'er covered her mouth: "Tenth sister, have you forgotten what your sister told you?" The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, some things are not beautiful the more black they are, let's ignore him, these days I am at home with my sister to read, okay? ”
A few days later. Ning Shu ran into the courtyard in a hurry: "Sister Ling'er." I know who's doing the trick. ”
Ling'er put down the book and looked at him, Ning Shuqi snorted: "Hmph, it turned out to be the news released by Wang Fugui and his servants." There is also Yan Erniang in Wangjia Village, those gossips are all made up by them, Sister Ling'er, let's go to Wang Fugui and his father to settle accounts. ”
"Stop!" Ling'er stood up.
Ning Shu was full of confidence: "Sister Ling'er." His royal servant spoke badly and hurtfully, and I have evidence. They can't deny it, we have to ask for an explanation, otherwise his Wang family really thinks that our Yang family has no one? ”
Ling'er paced and thought, originally thinking that this matter must be related to Yan Erniang. At that time, Yan Erniang's two elder brothers were broken by Ling'er, and the Yan family has always been worried about this, but the Yan family was defeated. The Ling'er family is getting better and better, and the Yan family does not dare to collide with the Yang family openly. It's just a small trick in secret, it doesn't hurt, I didn't expect Wang Fugui's family to have a part.
It is said that Ling'er's family and Wang Fugui's family have no big grievances, but a year ago, Wang Laoyuanwai passed away, Wang Fugui and his father are idle and useless, and they tossed out most of the shops in the city in a few clicks, in order to keep the rest of the shops, his family had to sell a part of the land to raise money, and the 300 acres of land sold were accepted by Ling'er's family.
In this way, Wang Fugui's family, which was originally the richest man in the town, did not have as much land as Ling'er's family, which may be a psychological imbalance, since then, Wang Fugui's family is very dissatisfied with Ling'er's family regardless of the master and servants, to be precise, it is superficial contempt and psychological envy.
It's just this bit of a, it's not worth criticizing themselves up and down in their family, even if they have a bad reputation, there are still Daqiang and Ning Shu in the family, theoretically the Yang family's family business will be theirs in the future, why target yourself?
Ling'er was puzzled, but Ning Shu was urging, Ling'er shook her head: "Don't worry, the servants of the Wang family dare to make a big announcement, it is impossible for the master not to know, or it was the master's instructions, they are looking for it like this, the Wang family will definitely not admit it, even if we admit it, we can't do anything to him." ”
"That'...... Is that what it is? ”
"Of course not!" Ling'er pondered for a moment, and suddenly the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and Ning Shuxi said, "Sister Ling'er, do you have an idea?" ”
Ling'er muttered in Ning Shu's ear for a while, and Ning Shu clapped his hands with joy when he heard this: "Okay, I'll do it immediately." ”
Ning Shu immediately went back to the room and closed the door, wrote a letter, personally went to the town to find a fierce-looking man, gave him ten taels of silver, and asked him to send the letter to Wang Yuanwai's house, and hand it over to the family members, and did not say a word during the process.
Wang Fugui and his father Wang Jiaqi opened the letter and looked at it, and they were immediately frightened, only to see just a few lines on it: "The Yang family is blessed by me, and you must not be slandered, otherwise your whole family will be destroyed." "The inscription is a pattern of two large knives crossed.
The content is not important, the key is the pattern, the surrounding ten miles and eight towns all know, that is the pattern used by the bandits in the vast mountains to rob before the ultimatum, whoever receives this letter, will be unlucky within half a month.
Wang Jiaqi was so anxious that he walked around the hall, but his wife Feng Shi said disdainfully: "Who doesn't know that the officers and soldiers have sealed the mountain, even if there are bandits, they can't get out, this letter is definitely not written by the bandits, I think it's probably the ghost girl of the Yang family who is making trouble." ”
"Shut up! In the woman's opinion, I told you not to participate in this matter a long time ago, but you didn't listen, now it's okay, the thief has been recruited, do you really want my Wang family to cut off children and grandchildren? ”
Mrs. Feng's face was not good-looking, "I'm sorry, you are messing around with flowers and grass by yourself, and you don't care about the affairs of the family, if I hadn't relied on my mother's family, this family would have been ruined a long time ago, and it would not be the turn of the thieves to worry about it." ”
"You...... You're unreasonable! Wang Jiaqi was so angry that he walked around the hall, and then pointed at Feng's nose and said angrily: "I warn you, don't mess with the Yang family again, otherwise...... Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Mrs. Feng stood up suddenly: "You flip, I see you flip, if you have the ability, I'll try it if you take a break, and see if your fox spirit can make life better in this house......"
Wang Jiaqi's face was pale, he flicked his sleeves and strode away, and walked straight to the courtyard gate next to him, and the Wang family knew that it was the direction leading to the courtyard of the new aunt. Speaking of which, the new aunt is not young, she is still a widow with a family, but the old man just likes it, and the old lady can't wait to take her in as soon as she leaves, even the pair of children are also brought in, and they are raised as their own children.
The rumors gradually dispersed, and the Yang family's life was much better. Before I knew it, it was Ling'er's fourteenth birthday, and the family happily held a family banquet, and the father and mother discussed sending Ningshu to the county seat, finding a better private school to study for the first half of the year, and then taking the children's exam in the second half of the year.
Ning Shu has only been gone for a few days, and the family has good news again, Shuangniang's sister-in-law is pregnant, the family is happy, and the father and mother have prepared a bunch of gifts for Shuangniang's family to send, and she will not be allowed to touch the family affairs, and she will be carefully offered to Shuangniang like offering to the Buddha.
On this day, Daqiang was going to go into the city to buy some things for Shuangniang, and the tenth sister was clamoring to go to the lively scene, and by the way went to see Ning Shu and Qi Liu, Qi Liu was fortunate to be taken in by the Ding family, and then became a small servant in the Ding family. Ling'er thought that the few of them hadn't gotten together for a while, so she asked Daqiang to take care of the ten sisters and personally send them out of the village.
The next day, Ling'er, who was reading a book in the courtyard, heard that the front yard was noisy, and there seemed to be a strong voice, they came back so soon? Why didn't you play for two more days? When Ling'er went out, she saw Daqiang's eyes red, his face tired, his hair disheveled, and his clothes disheveled.
Ling'er was startled and ran over in a few steps: "Brother Da Qiang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Daqiang looked at Ling'er blankly for a long time, and suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "Tenth sister...... Ten sisters, she's gone! (To be continued)
