Chapter 42: Murder
This year's harvest was not good, and food prices have risen a lot.
The Ge family is the first time, and they eat white rice and white steamed buns every day.
Chen Suyun is not blessed, after eating a good meal for a few days, she felt that the food fell in her stomach and was very uncomfortable, and she was the only one at home who ate the previous cereals again. Chen Suyun said that he was eating steadily.
The mother-in-law of the Ge family sat on the chair with the grandmother of the Lu family.
The chair was newly bought, and six chairs cost ten taels, saying what kind of good wood it was, Chen Suyun didn't remember.
Four chairs are set up in the vestibule, which is for entertaining.
Rotten wood roots and good chairs, the feeling of sitting up is the same, if it weren't for the sake of face, why buy this.
Of course, the mother-in-law of the Ge family really needs it. A wool cushion was placed on the chair, and a small quilt was tied to the back of the chair, so that the mother-in-law of the Ge family could sit more comfortably. After all, I'm old, and it's tiring to sit on a bench.
"Su Yun, when are you going to Aunt Lu's house, you haven't been here for a long time." Grandma Lu said with a smile, "I can't just come to your house to eat and drink." ”
"We're going too." Autumn leaves and autumn flowers shouted.
"It's not too big or small, but after the New Year, I'm going to be a year older, not a child." Chen Suyun scolded Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers.
At the end of the year, Autumn leaves and autumn flowers don't have to go to school.
The master didn't teach them anything, and the women couldn't take the imperial examination to become officials, so he taught them to recognize some words and learn some arithmetic, so that it would be convenient for housekeepers or anything in the future.
"Oh." My mother has been a little fierce recently, so it's better not to scold. Autumn leaves and autumn flowers faintly responded.
"Huh." Grandma Lu couldn't say anything, "Eight years old is still a child." ”
She thought that Chen Suyun should understand what she meant, but she didn't respond, I was afraid that she really didn't like her family Lu Peng.
Grandma Lu is a generous person, and she has been tempted so many times, since Chen Suyun doesn't mean it, forget it. It's just Lu Peng's stubborn child......
In the heart of a mother, she is forty or fifty, and she is also a child.
The mother-in-law of the Ge family looked at it coldly from the side, and she probably understood Chen Suyun's thoughts.
First, there is still a thought in my heart, thinking that one day, Ge Yunzhi can come back.
The second is fear, afraid that people outside will say bad things.
The third is shame, even if you have already married and given birth to children, it is embarrassing to talk about remarrying.
The mother-in-law of the Ge family is willing to remarry Chen Suyun, but she can't let her marry as a mother-in-law. It's not always going on.
……………………
Rong Yixuan's business has stabilized.
There are a few wealthy families who have ordered the materials of Rong Yixuan for a long time, and I don't know if it is because the materials of Xiao Ji Buzhuang are good, or because they are looking at the face of Bifu.
Thinking of this, Chunhua felt a little uncomfortable.
What Xia He said is actually very reasonable, Chunhua is powerless to change this status quo.
"Is there any thicker material?"
Chunhua looked at the line, and the dusty ones should be businessmen from other places.
"Yes, yes." Chunhua replied, "Where are you from?" ”
"I came from the south, I went out for the first time, I didn't have much experience, and I didn't have enough clothes." The guest said.
"Do you have any skins to sell here, I'm afraid it'll be colder in the north."
"There are a few pieces of skin. However, this thick garment is made quickly, and it takes a long time for the leather to make clothes. It's also inconvenient for you to be on the road, so it's better to buy ready-made. Chunhua said with a smile.
This guest was generous, and picked five horses of material in one go.
"I saw that everything was good, so I bought them all. My man always says I'm a loser. The guest said embarrassedly.
Chunhua asked Erya to wrap the material: "Where is the loser, the clothes on your body are also made by yourself, they are really beautiful, and the patterns are well embroidered." Other people must envy you for being virtuous. ”
"I made this dress myself, and I didn't embroider it. I asked someone else to embroider, our famous embroiderer there, but I waited a long time to get there. ”
"It's a really nice embroidery." Chunhua praised sincerely, "I just looked good-looking, and after looking at it carefully, I felt more exquisite." You don't lose time waiting. ”
The guest was also very satisfied with the dress: "Well, I like it too." However, it is not possible to find the embroiderer again. That Ge Xiuniang is also pitiful and has suffered a disaster. ”
Ge Xiuniang, I am still my family.
In these years, everyone is pitiful, and Chunhua also sighed a little with the guest, and then stopped.
This year, there are a lot of traders coming and going.
In fact, it is not a businessman, and many of them are relocated with their families.
………………
There's a big case in the county.
The Zhu family died.
Poisoned.
Zhu Chengzu, Zhu Yaozu is dead.
That day, the mother-in-law of the Zhu family had a bad appetite and did not eat, but she did not expect to escape.
The two of them vomited and diarrhea at first, thinking that they had eaten something unclean.
Although the abdominal pain is unbearable, it is over when I think of it, and it is not a woman's family, so I can't stand the pain at all.
When I couldn't help it, it was too late to call the doctor.
Arsenic poisoning.
The people in Hu's mansion were all taken under guard.
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family cried and kept saying that Hu Xiaowen killed her son.
What about motivation.
What did Hu Xiaowen do to kill the two brothers of the Zhu family for no reason.
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family doesn't care so much. Hu Xiaowen is the murderer, and it is the most beneficial to the mother-in-law of the Zhu family. Because the Hu family is rich, they have to lose a lot now.
Although the two sons are dead, the grandson is still there. It is also possible to take a sum of money and live a good life with your grandson.
Hu Xiaowen was also panicked.
These days, she has had some quarrels with Zhu Yaozu.
Because Zhu Yaozu went to the land of fireworks.
And she felt that Zhu Yaozu didn't seem to like her very much.
At the same time, there was a middle-aged mother-in-law in the Hu family who accidentally fell into the well and died.
The mother-in-law had no relatives or friends, so the shopkeeper buried her hastily, and ordered no one in the house to say anything. At this juncture, it's better not to have too much to do.
The shopkeeper Hu's sorrow.
Hu Xiaowen said that it was not her own harm.
Shopkeeper Hu doesn't trust his daughter very much.
Hu Xiaowen is fatter than ordinary people, but her family has a lot of property, and the main reason why she has not married is that Hu Xiaowen has a brain disease.
The doctor can't cure the disease, so he can only control it by drinking medicine every day. That medicine is also the reason why Hu Xiaowen gained weight.
When Hu Xiaowen became ill, she completely lost her usual gentle and generous appearance, and she would become irritable and irritable. It turned out that there was a maid in the family who was beaten by Hu Xiaowen and was dying.
The maid was finally saved, and the shopkeeper gave the maid a sum of money and let her go.
When Hu Xiaowen asked why the maid disappeared suspiciously, the shopkeeper Hu didn't know how to answer well.
thought that it would be good for Hu Xiaowen to get married, but she didn't think that Hu Xiaowen would actually kill her husband.
Shopkeeper Hu is such a daughter, so naturally he has to keep her no matter what.
