Chapter 14 The Apricot Lady Who Caused Trouble
86_86881Lin Yu practiced on the low hill next to their house every day, although the bow and arrow system was rude, and it was not easy to use, but fortunately, she did not dislike it, and after persistent practice, she gradually got some accuracy.
Although the arrows made of sharpened bamboo sticks are not as sharp as those made of iron, they are also extremely lethal.
At first, she used trees as targets, and slowly began to shoot wild snakes, and finally the hares and pheasants running around the mountains were not a problem.
She didn't dare to let Uncle Zhu know that she was learning to hunt, and after she caught the prey, she dealt with it a little, and then took it to the town to find another restaurant of a slightly lower grade.
Although the restaurant is of low grade and the price given is definitely not as good as that of Fujia Restaurant, she is very satisfied. She is still a rookie in hunting, and it is already very good to be able to hunt wild animals and sell them for money, and she is not qualified to be ambitious.
The copper plate in her hand slowly began to increase, and Uncle Zhu helped her sell the fish twice, and each time she could get nearly three hundred wen, plus the money she earned from selling hares and pheasants, it was almost the same to repair the house.
After she took the prey to the town again, when she came back, she had more than 400 wen in her hand, and there were already more than 2,000 copper plates with her family, which was more than 2 taels when converted into silver. In just half a month, I can earn so much, which is still a very good result.
When she got home, she hid the copper coin, and went to Apricot in a hurry, asking Uncle Zhu to help her find someone to repair the house.
During this time, her energy was all focused on making money. Kyoko knew that she was busy, so she didn't come to her, and she rarely went over except to ask Uncle Zhuzi to help her sell fish.
Outside the fence wall of Apricot House, I saw some people standing in twos and threes from a distance, chattering and talking while looking into the yard, seeing that they should be dressed up in the neighborhood.
Lin Yu was puzzled, so many people are here, could it be that something happened to the Apricot family? The thought crossed her mind, and she couldn't help but trot over.
Outside the fence, watching the lively people gossip unscrupulously, all of them gloating, afraid of saying less.
"It's pretty......"
"Isn't it? Look at her! ”
"Those who hook up all day long ago should have been cleaned up like this!"
"Hey, she can be so miserable Wei Jiale, if you want to be a real person like Da Zhu and Aunt Wei, why take her (marry) into the door......"
"It's not, the two babies are pitiful, this kind of mother, there will be people who say kiss in the future to inquire about it, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to talk about the relatives......"
"This kind of person only cares about his own happiness, how can he think about the people below......"
…………
The forest fish hurried past the gossiping people and entered the fence gate.
Looking at it, Uncle Zhu Zi stood in the corner of the courtyard with a blue face, and Mrs. Wei was also sitting on a wooden stool with a black face under the main house, and there were four people standing on the other side of the courtyard, one woman, three men.
"Daddy, mother, believe me, I really haven't done anything like that! They're all talking nonsense, splash dirty water on me......" A woman with loose hair and a blue and white floral jacket threw herself at Uncle Zhuzi's feet, crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Listening to her name Uncle Zhuzi and Grandma, she should be the mother of Apricot and Bolt Baby.
As soon as she heard the words of Apricot and her mother, on the side opposite Uncle Zhuzi, who was forty years old, the woman in the coarse green cloth did not follow, spit on the side, and scolded insinuatingly: "I, maybe we have wronged you?" Don't look at your shameless look! I'm still using it to splash dirty water on you, phew! Bah! Bah! ”
After scolding, he shouted at the top of his voice: "The villagers all came to talk and said, who doesn't know the name of this girl in these ten miles and eight villages?" After hooking up, the country man came to seduce our family again! After arresting the current, there is still a face here to pretend to be pitiful, and I am not too ashamed to panic! Phew! ……”
Most of the people outside the fence didn't know the inside story, but only knew a rough idea, and now after listening to the woman's words, they confirmed the guess in their hearts, and they all turned their noses up at the daughter-in-law of the pillar.
This old man's surname is Qin, he is the largest landlord in this Guankou Town, his original home is in this Quhe Village, his family has a thousand tilts of fertile land, and most of the villagers in Quhe Village are tenants of his family's land, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of Quhe Village.
It is said that the entire Guankou Town has been in Guankou Town for so many years, but there is such a person, and it is said that even the county magistrate has to give him a few thin noodles.
Besides, the original wife of this old man is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, and the daughter-in-law of the big pillar is usually a little indiscrete, but now she dares to seduce such a big pomp and circumstance, and she does not disrupt her own weight!
Now that I've been caught, I really deserve it!
"Enough!" After listening to the woman's words, Uncle Zhuzi's muscles were exposed, and he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he roared in a deep voice.
"What's up! You can't manage your own girls, and you don't allow others to talk about it? I can tell you, it is also my wife who is merciful and pitiful to you, and if you are a rich and noble family, you will already sink such a person who does not abide by women's morals! You're so embarrassed to yell at me! Uncle Zhuzi's roar startled the woman, and she immediately reacted and pointed at Uncle Zhuzi and scolded.
"You're spewing blood! I didn't! Not really! Pillar, don't take her word for it! Apricot and her mother heard Uncle Zhuzi roar, and felt that she must be supporting herself, so she strongly denied it again.
"I said you're enough!" Uncle Zhu glared angrily, stared at Apricot Niang, and shouted loudly when he looked at the woman.
The people standing next to him involuntarily shrank back, and the woman wanted to scold again, but she glanced at Uncle Zhuzi with a fierce face, and reluctantly shut up.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Uncle Zhu saw that the woman was frightened, stared at her and asked.
"What's going on? What do you think we can do? The woman listened to Uncle Zhuzi's question, and retorted: "My lord's reputation has been ruined by this woman, what do you think can be done?" ”
After a pause, she said again: "Our lady said that you only have two ways to go in this matter, or you can enter the yamen and let the lord of the government judge the reasoning; or if you don't, you will come out with twenty taels of silver, and it will be counted as a lesson for you. Who made you not even manage your own girl, let her go out of the watery poplar! ”
She was sure that they wouldn't dare to enter the yamen! Who in this Guan Kou Town doesn't know that his master is a lifter? The door of the government is open to their house!
Besides, these days men are messing around, it's called romance; Women are different, even if a man molests you, then you are not seduced by women's morals!
Therefore, although her lord wants to tease her today, if she is not a seamless egg, her lord will not be able to succeed, and now her wife knows about it, and she should be unlucky!
Madame said that a woman's reputation is ruined by these shameless people, so she must be vigorously publicized and taught them a lesson, so as not to relapse from the old diseases!
However, the lady also said that the man was also pitiful, he was tired and tired to earn money outside, but the woman was desperately trying to bring him a green hat. A man should also be like a man, and if he doesn't lie to this woman, let him give him some silver, and it can be regarded as a lesson to him, knowing how to manage his own woman well.
If the whole family does not repent, they will be sent directly to the yamen.
When Xingzi Niang heard the woman's words, she was frightened and dragged Uncle Zhuzi's legs, crying: "Xing'er and his father, you save me!" I won't go to the Yamen, please, how can I live if I go to the Yamen......"
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm not going to go out in the future, okay? You can help me...... Help me......"
Uncle Zhu stared at her with hatred, pulled his legs out, and yelled at her, "Shut up! Don't cry! Now that I know how to cry, why did I go earlier? ”
Apricot Niang was so frightened that she quickly closed her mouth, only sobbing.
Uncle Zhu straightened his back before looking at the woman and saying, "Twenty taels of silver?" Is it true that your face is only worth twenty taels? ”
Then he said:
"My money is the blood and sweat I have earned with my hard work, and it is not as good as your lord sitting at home with money coming to the door! It's impossible to ask for money if I'm here today! I have to ask her about this matter first, if she is shameless, I will teach her a lesson and let her come to the door to apologize, if you feel that what I said is okay, please go back first, if not, then you want her to throw her into the pond or see the official, I will never stop it, but even if the door of the government is open to your house, there is always a place for reason in this world! ”
After a pause, he said: "I heard that there is a new magistrate in our county, who is a big Qing official who handles cases impartially with clean sleeves, if my family is cornered, it will definitely get the county government to beat the drum and voice grievances, and ask the lord to uphold justice for our family!" ”
Lin Yu didn't know that Uncle Zhu Zi was so eloquent, and she couldn't help but applaud in her heart when she said it!
That's how it should be! If the dealer has no power and power, should he be slaughtered? What about the old man? I read so many sage books in vain! Nasty and horny! The wrong thing that two people have done, for the sake of their own face, all pushed on the woman, even if the fly is not a seamless egg, then he is also a stinky fly! Speaking of which, it's also two like-minded people who are involved in it, and they are embarrassed to ask for money!
The woman still wanted to argue, but her confidence was obviously insufficient, the new county lord had not really taken office, and his own lord had not yet taken the line, so he couldn't make trouble for the lord because of this, so after thinking about it, he said: "Hmph, the new county magistrate must be reasonable, and our lord is not a lord who deceives good and fears evil, but this matter is that this woman does not abide by women's morals, and my lord and wife are not unforgiving, let me say it when I came, the main thing is to teach your family a lesson, and you will take care of people in the future, Don't go out again, and sending the yamen is just to scare and scare you, and they are not rare in money, but I am afraid that I can't remember if I don't let you have some blood. ”
"But now that you have made a statement, then I will also bring you a message on behalf of my old lady, this official government can not send it for the time being, and there is no need to give money, but this woman will go out to hook up again in the future, then there will be no love to talk about!"
"Hmph, let's go!"
After speaking, the woman stared fiercely at Uncle Zhuzi and Apricot and her mother, and led the leader to stride out of the fence gate with her head raised and chested.
That's it? So easy to talk to? The people around him were a little confused and gave way to him
