Chen Laosan is a typical example of the slave of the second room rebelling against the owner of the small long house, and after he remarried his wife, he tortured the son left by his ex-wife, Sister-in-law, in every way, and his bad behavior was aggravated. Whether it is the Zhang family, Zhao Wei or Zhao Xiu, as soon as they hear his name, they all show disgust.

Zhao Wei frowned and asked the woman, "Where has he gone now?" Did you follow Zhao Ze into the sect's house? Among the people Zhao Ze brought to the south this time, how many of them were like him, who switched from our family to the past? ”

The woman thought for a while: "The little one only saw him, and his wife was there, and the husband and wife followed them to the sect's room, but no one else saw them." ”

Zhang's eyebrows showed a faint disgust: "What should they do?" Zhao Jue's family is no longer from the Zhao clan, Zhao Ze is a guest outside the clan, who is he bringing with him, what do we have to do? ”

Zhao Wei said: "Grandmother, this Chen Laosan is a traitor, he didn't appear in the past, we just can't see it, but now he has come to our door to help his new master show off his power at us, is it possible that we really want to let him go?" What about the guests of the Zongfang? The whole clan knows why Uncle Yu is protecting Zhao Ze, this matter is our reason, who can say that ours is not? ”

Zhang still shook his head and said: "That's it, his parents and sisters all died in the shipwreck that year, and sister-in-law Pearl, although she survived by luck, she may not be willing to watch her former husband suffer, besides, Dongsheng is still there, and the blood relationship between father and son must always be taken into account." You laugh at me for being soft-hearted, the old servants of the year, few survived, and the pearl sister-in-law can come back. It's really an unexpected joy, just for the sake of their mother and son, ignore this Chen Laosan. ”

Zhao Xiu said disapprovingly: "Grandmother's words are not right. Chen Laosan himself is not filial, do we still want to spare him in front of his parents and sisters? He was not the only traitor who left back then, and even when the family was not separated in the past, the servants of the Jiannan Hou Mansion had to respect you, the master mother, but later when Uncle Jiong ordered them to poison the people in our room, how many of them were soft-handed? It's time to make an example of the monkeys so that they know. We don't care about our kindness, it doesn't mean that we are easy to bully, if they dare to help the people of Xiaochangfang harm us again. We're not going to be kind! If you're worried that Sister-in-law Pearl and Brother Dongsheng will be upset, I'll ask them. I really don't believe it, Brother Dongsheng was almost killed by his stepmother, what kind of father-son affection can he have for the father who connived at his wife's murder! ”

She got up and walked out. I went straight to Sister-in-law Pearl. Zhang sighed helplessly. said to Zhao Wei: "Your sister has more and more ideas now, but she is acting too strongly." We already have the upper hand in one room, and as long as the servants of the small long house are not stupid, they all know how to act in the future, so why bother with a few subordinates. ”

This time, even Zhao Wei disagreed: "Grandmother, it's not that we have to put down our identities to deal with slaves, but that there are too many fools in the world, and we don't let them know that they are powerful." They don't know how stupid they are. My sister's words are reasonable, so you can let her go. Even if she makes a big fuss, she is still a child, who can cure her crimes? ”

Zhang was even more helpless: "I know that you love your sister, but don't indulge her too much, what good will it do her if she is lawless?" ”

Zhao Xiu didn't know the conversation between her grandmother and brother, so she went directly to the courtyard where her sister-in-law and her son and Tu Sanyang lived temporarily. There were not many people in the old house, and the people all lived together, and I saw Zhao Xiu coming alone from a distance, and soon two daughters-in-law greeted me with a smile and asked, "Where are you going, girl?" ”

"I'll talk to Sister-in-law Pearl and her son."

One daughter-in-law hurriedly led the way, and the other began to introduce herself, who her husband was, where he was on an errand, what he was idle at home now, what he was good at, what he did when he was unmarried, and so on. Seeing this, the other daughter-in-law also introduced herself.

Zhao Xiu has been in charge of the family for a few months, and the family has more or less touched her preferences and habits, knowing that if she wants to recommend herself for an errand, and she can't give gifts to help the person in charge of the affairs to help say good things, the most direct way is to directly sell her strengths when she meets the big girl, and say less flattery that is meaningless. Then if the eldest girl sees that you are pleasing to the eye, and asks that you have not lied, in two days there will be an errand, and no matter how effective it is, several people have already obtained work in this way—of course, whether it is fat or drudgery depends on the luck of each person.

By the time they came to the courtyard of Sister-in-law Pearl's house, Zhao Xiu already knew the general situation of the two daughters-in-law, and thought about it: "Uncle Lu is injured, Mother Lu has to take care of him, and he can't spare his hands. However, today's clan meeting will expelle the small long house from the clan, and some industries will be slowly recovered. Don't be in a hurry to find an errand, go back to discuss with your family first, and if there is anyone who is willing to be the head of the village or the outside manager, report the list first. At some point, a group of people may have to be released, and there will be empty seats at that time. ”

The two daughters-in-law were greatly surprised when they heard this, and immediately rejoiced, and hurriedly retreated in response to find their families to publicize the latest news. Xiao Changfang was actually expelled from the clan? There will only be more properties in the small second room, and the position of the steward will also change, and the newly returned properties need to be taken care of, so they are all out-and-out fat differences!

Zhao Xiu approached the courtyard, and Tu Sanyang's family had already greeted him: "Big girl, are you here to see our pearls?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled at her: "Please come in with your husband and wife, I have something to say to Sister-in-law Pearl, Brother Dongsheng and you." ”

After a cup of tea, Sister-in-law Pearl, Chen Dongsheng and Tu Sanyang all knew the whole story. Tu Sanyang and his wife exchanged glances with each other, but they didn't say anything. Chen Dongsheng bowed his head and was silent, but Sister-in-law Pearl couldn't cry anymore: "What else is there to ask?" Sister, just do what you want! He has married another newcomer and has a son, and he has long stopped treating our mother and son as a family! He can even forget the enmity of his biological parents and sister-in-law, such a brute, do we still want to recognize him?! ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at Dongsheng carefully before saying, "Although he is so bad." But I still have to ask you, he doesn't know that the nurse is alive, and he thinks you are dead before marrying again. And Brother Dongsheng and him are also biological father and son after all. If you want to know him, then I just have to teach him a lesson, and if you don't want to know him, then I will send him far away, and you don't have to pay attention to what happens to him. It's just one thing, no matter which one you mother and son choose. Don't regret it in the future. If you want to keep him, but you can't stand his ways, send him out again. It's not difficult, but if you don't want to keep him, but you want to find him back in the future, I may not have a way. I just hope that you won't blame me then. ”

Sister-in-law Pearl hurriedly said, "What did the eldest sister say?" Since I have said that I will not recognize him. Even if I regret it in the future, I can't blame my sister, it's just my own idea. She looked at her son, and stopped talking. Chen Dongsheng raised his head and said to her, "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. Since he married his stepmother, he has beaten and scolded me, if it weren't for the master's family. I'm afraid that my stepmother will sell me, and he won't say a word. When my aunt and uncle came to Beijing to look for me. He said that he would take the money to buy it, and the goods and silver would be paid, and I would follow my aunt and aunt away, and I would no longer be his son, and told me not to go back in the future and beg him to support him. My aunt and aunt gave him twenty taels of silver, and I was a clean household, and I owed him nothing. ”

Tu Sanyang's family sighed, touched his head and said to Zhao Xiu: "Girl, don't complain about this kid talking straight, he has really suffered enough of his old man." are all slaves, Chen Laosan can't sell his son at all without the nod of the master's family, but he scares Dongsheng with this all day long, saying that if he is disobedient, he will sell him to the coal kiln, and treat him as a slave. Our husband and wife said to Chen Laosan, half the eldest child, eat the poor old man, horizontal and vertical are relatives, we took Dongsheng back to feed, even if it is broken in the future, how about it? That Chen Laosan is not a person, so he insisted on asking us for twenty taels of silver, but he was not allowed to take away even a piece of clothing. The dowry that Pearl brought when she married in the past is still in the hands of Chen Laosan's little wife. Their family of three ate and drank spicy food, but they didn't care about Dongsheng's life and death, Dongsheng was sad, and he didn't expect him anymore! ”

Tu Sanyang also bowed his head and said, "If the girl can really get Chen Laosan away, it will be good." We can think of going to the capital to get Dongsheng's mother's dowry back, things are small, and there are relics of Dongsheng's grandparents in it, and those things can't fall into the hands of irrelevant outsiders. ”

When Sister-in-law Pearl heard her uncle's words, she became even more sad, and she hugged her son and began to cry.

Zhao Xiu thought about it, then nodded and said to Tu Sanyang and his wife: "Okay, the Hengzhu clan is going to send someone to the capital to recover some of the properties of Xiaochangfang, you can follow." It's just one thing, if others ask, you just have to say that this is something that Dongsheng wants to get back his mother, not to mention that Sister-in-law Pearl is still alive. ”

Tu Sanyang's family was a little puzzled: "Why is this?" Pearl is now protected by an old lady, are you still afraid of them? ”

Zhao Xiu just smiled: "You just do what I say." ”

The people in the small long room didn't know that Sister-in-law Pearl was alive, and they didn't know what Sister-in-law had heard from Chuncao back then, but Sister-in-law Pearl had seen the murderer of Chuncao with her, and this matter was certain. She was just a milk doll back then, and no one would believe what she said, but Sister-in-law Pearl was a real eyewitness. One day, Jiang's case will be closed and sentenced, and the killer will be arrested and brought to justice, and witnesses will be needed to come forward. Whether it was the Jiang clan or the others in Xiao Changfang, they didn't want to escape. Until that day comes, Sister-in-law Pearl must not go on a business trip!

Zhao Xiu returned to the main courtyard, and Zhang was talking to Lu's mother. Lu's mother looked haggard, and she forced her spirit to report to Zhang: "I woke up this morning, and I am still sober, but half of my body is numb, my right hand is shaking constantly, and I can't hold anything." The doctor said that there was no major problem, but that he needed to recuperate, but he might not be able to work in the future. ”

Zhang comforted: "It's a great blessing to be able to save his life, you also saw it yesterday, he shed blood all over the ground, and I thought he couldn't hold it anymore." Now that I've woken up so quickly, I'm able to talk, but I'm just a little wrong, and it's already good. ”

Mother Lu smiled miserably and nodded: "The old lady is right." He also did a lot of wrong things in the past, and being paralyzed was just retribution, but it was better for him to continue to stay in the steward position, making people talk nonsense. ”

"What nonsense?" Zhang glared at her, "If you think he has made a mistake, you should take care of him, and when he recovers in the future, he will still come back to do an errand for me, this is the right reason, how can you take advantage of the injury to be lazy?" Stop talking nonsense. I still need you here, and when he's ready, you can come back and help. ”

Mother Lu's tears immediately came out, and she knelt on the ground: "Old lady, you are too good to me, but where do I still have the face to stay by your side......"

Zhang was startled, and hurriedly asked the girls to help her up, Zhao Xiu stepped forward and helped pick up Lu's mother: "Lu's mother, don't cry, don't you know that your grandmother can't leave you the most?" If you feel that you can't go and work harder in the future, your grandmother will be happy. ”

Lu's mother only nodded and shed tears, and finally asked the girls to help her down.

Zhang sighed: "The eighty boards of Dashou will start in a while, and I have already ordered to go down, and fight four times, only twenty boards at a time, but to beat harder, as long as it doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, let him suffer more, and save him from being idle all day long." It's just that in this way, there are two patients in the Lu family, not to mention that Lu's mother can't spare time to come back to take care of things, even Bilian and Xiaoman are ......"

Zhao Wei said: "Xiaoman is coming back on an errand, I have already ordered him to go down, he doesn't have to follow me out in the future, and he will wait in the study instead." I'm going back to school tomorrow, and it's not okay if there is no one to take care of it in the study. He and Zhao Xiu glanced at each other and smiled slightly.

Zhao Xiu understood in his heart, this was the compensation for the Lu family. Xiaoman can also take the opportunity to learn more. Whether or not to leave the country is a matter of the future, but it takes time to accumulate the growth of knowledge. Later, when Bilian returns, she will also have to make a move. In exchange, neither Lu Ma nor Lu Changxiu may be able to hold power anymore, and she has to choose someone who can be replaced from the housekeeper.

Just thinking about it, Zhang asked, "Sister Xiu, what did Sister-in-law Pearl say?" ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly retracted his thoughts and said the meaning of Sister-in-law and Tu Sanyang's husband and wife. Zhang nodded: "This is also human nature, but what are you going to do?" Chen Laosan and his wife are now working under Zhao Ze, so they can't take people into the sect room and take people away, right? ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "No need." When the family was divided, the servants of each family had a deed in the hands of the mother of the two houses, and our family was no exception, right? ”

Zhang remembered: "That's right, the deeds of several slaves, along with the deeds and silver tickets of those properties in Beijing, were hidden by Lu Ma, and they were hidden on their bodies when they went south. However, Chen Laosan switched to Xiaochangfang that year, and this deed ......"

Zhao Wei high-fived: "I understand!" At that time, the two-room people were originally a family, and Chen Laosan thought that he would switch to a small long house, and there was no need to go to the official mansion to get a file, and this deed was still in our house. Now that the family is also divided, and the small long house is out of the clan, he changed to his master without the permission of the master's family, and the crime of a fugitive slave cannot be escaped! ”

Zhao Xiu said with a smile: "We don't have to bring someone to break into the sect's house, so we handed over the post to the county government, and asked the new county magistrate to help us arrest the fugitive slaves. Just remember to inform Brother Jing and Sister-in-law Jing and let them remember to open the door for the errand officer! ”

I just don't know, when the people from the county government take away Chen Laosan and his wife, what will be the expressions on Zhao Yu and Zhao Ze's faces? (To be continued......)
