Chapter 120: Finding the Shore
Zhou's words sounded concerned, but when it came to the maid, those two words were particularly heavy. Yan Ran was funny in her stomach, but she also followed her words and said to Qiu: "It's just a little stomachache, just lie down for a while." Qiulan had already brought someone in, and when she heard this, she hurriedly helped Yanran to lie down on the bed.
Qiu Shi comforted Yanran a few more words, telling Yanran not to worry, this matter is not a big deal. Zhou looked at it coldly from the side, and said: "That's it, third aunt, what kind of heart do you have, so that the money buys back the thing, her old son and mother come to make trouble, it's just to burn the silver, is it possible that who is still going to have a serious lawsuit with him?" Qiu Shi looked at Yan Ran, and seeing that Yan Ran's face was a little bad, Qiu Shi hurriedly said to Zhou: "Third aunt, I know that you are kind, but there are some words, let's say less." ”
Zhou hurriedly covered his mouth: "Blame me, I only plan for the third aunt, but I forgot the ...... of the third aunt" Zhou pretended to swallow it, and looked at Yanran's smile unchanged: "Third aunt, don't worry, we know right from wrong." ”
Qiu Shi saw Yanran close his eyes, told Qiulan and them to take care of Yanran, and pulled Zhou out with him. When he got outside, Zhou sneered: "Sister-in-law is really good at being a person, she is so considerate to the third aunt, don't you know ......?"
"I don't know what it matters. I only know that now the third aunt and we are concubines, and concubines should be affectionate and kind. Instead of ......" This time it was Zhou who interrupted Qiu's words: "Sister-in-law, you also know that I have always been straight, what do you say, how can I have such a crooked heart, because of my straight temperament, I don't know how much your second brother complained." If you want me to change it now, to be honest, I can't change it. ”
Qiu Shi looked at Zhou Shi and frowned very tightly. Seeing this, Zhou reached out and grabbed Qiu's arm and went outside with her: "Sister-in-law, we have known each other for so many years, do you still think that I will treat you badly?" The talisman that I asked for last time, the owner of the nunnery also said that I want you to go again, and I promise that at the end of the year, I will allow you to be a big fat boy. ”
This pinched Qiu's heart, but when Qiu thought of the temperament of Zhou and Rong Erye, he really didn't want to take the sweetness in front of him. Zhou hooked his lips and smiled again: "Sister-in-law, don't you know, in this world, how can there really be left and right?" ”
Hearing this, Qiu threw Zhou's arm down, rushed forward, saw Qiu's face change, Zhou's expression also changed, and chased after him: "Sister-in-law thinks, without you, I can't?" ”
"These things are decided by my uncle, and we husband and wife just obey them. Your eldest brother is timid and cowardly, and I am a woman. Second aunt, we husband and wife, just want to take our children and live a peaceful life. Qiu's words made Zhou frown, and then Zhou said: "Peace and security, sister-in-law, don't you know that you have to be a brother to fight a tiger?" Although we are not brothers, we all came to my uncle because we had no father and no mother, and we are almost the same as brothers. Does my sister-in-law think that our husband and wife will harm you? ”
"I don't know if this is harmful, but I only know that it is right to listen to my uncle, and as for the future, let's see everyone's blessings." Qiu's words made Zhou's face a little cold, and just as he was about to say more, he saw Rong Yuzhi walking over with someone. Zhou smiled at Rong Yuzhi: "Sister-in-law, are you going to the third aunt's room?" ”
"I heard that the third sister-in-law was angry, so I'll go over and take a look." Rong Yuzhi replied lightly, seeing that there seemed to be tear stains on Qiu's face, he didn't feel strange, these three rooms forced people to death, why did the sister-in-law have tears here, not to mention that the Zhou family still had an angry face? Thinking of this, Rong Yuzhi had more and more headaches, this was all because his father did not take the lead, which caused the family to be very chaotic. If my father is a person who understands etiquette and rules, and makes this backyard clean and quiet, he will not .......
Thinking about Rong Yuzhi, why did he hate his father, why did he have to recruit him, how good it would be to marry himself out, find a clean and quiet family, and go to live that quiet and quiet life. It's not like now, when these things happen at home, you have to cover them up outside. Thinking of the fact that there is another thing about forcing the Deathroom and maidservant, I will go to the banquet the day after tomorrow, but I am afraid that my companions will inevitably have a little sarcasm in their words. Although the merchant family is not as good as those scholarly families, they are not so forced to die, so that the other party's father and mother come to the door to ask for justice.
"Sister-in-law wants us to accompany you?" Qiu Shi turned his head and wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief before turning his head to Rong Yuzhi and said with a smile.
"No need, I'll just go alone." Rong Yuzhi replied, and led the people to the front. My sister-in-law has been treating herself more and more estranged over the years. Qiu couldn't help but sigh, looked back at Zhou, ignored her and walked forward.
Zhou didn't follow, but went outside, but also to see the excitement, so as not to waste his hard work.
In front of the Rong family, I don't know that there are tens of thousands of people around. If you want to say that in the backyards of these houses, it is inevitable that a few people will die for various reasons, but it is really rare to come to the door like this. Those who watched the excitement, for fear that they wouldn't be able to see it when it was late, stretched their necks one by one, waiting for how much silver the Rong family was going to take out?
There are still people who are already guessing there, three hundred? No, five hundred? There is also a knowledgeable way: "The year before last, in the Cheng family at the mouth of the river, there was a maid who jumped into the well and died for no reason, and my father and mother came to make trouble, do you know how much money the Cheng family paid to buy tears?" ”
"How much?" Someone had already asked, and this man spread out his palm: "It's eight hundred taels." "Eight hundred taels? Such a sum of silver with a high sky and a wide sea immediately made people swallow foam, and looked at Chulan's father and mother who were still crying there, as if they saw a load of silver: "If there are really eight hundred taels, I am willing." ”
"This is just the surface, I heard that later the Cheng family invited Taoist priests to make a dojo, and also went to the temples to burn incense, and let people come to dig wells. There was always a month of tossing and turning, and the silver also went to two or three thousand taels. "The one who spoke was as triumphant as if he had seen all the money with his own eyes, or that all the money had in his pocket.
In this way, some of the onlookers counted with their fingers, and just a maid jumped into the well for no reason, and went to so much silver, if it was in an ordinary family, it would have been ruined.
"But when I look at the Cheng family, they are still so prolific, and I heard that their family planted another salt nest." Some people don't seem to believe that they can come up with so much money for the sake of a maid. After all, four or five thousand taels of silver is enough for a family to live comfortably for a lifetime, and good land alone can buy three or four hundred acres, which is a foundation that will never move.
"Are you the kind of small business that you think you are rich just by opening a small shop? I heard that there was a concubine in Master Cheng's room, and she spent five or six thousand taels to buy it back. ”
Five or six thousand taels of silver? Not to mention beating a small silver man, it is enough to change it to gold and make a small gold man. Everyone looked at Chu Lan's father's eyes, and immediately flashed a fiery light, eager to help with advice, so as to get a piece of the pie, not to mention that they could get a hundred taels, even if they could get a dozen taels, it would be enough for the whole family to chew and wrap up for a year.
Chu Lan's mother knelt in front of the gate of the Rong family and cried non-stop, one by one, my son, you died so miserably, I knew that you died so miserably, I would not send you to such a family, I would rather the family eat bran here.
Although she was crying very sadly, Chu Lan's mother still listened to people with her ears pricked up, and when she heard that the Cheng family was out of eight hundred taels last time, Chu Lan's mother was about to scream. Eight hundred taels, this is simply an unimaginable amount. You must know that when Chu Lan's father and mother rushed to receive the news, the messenger said that the Rong family was only afraid that they would come up with a hundred taels of silver.
One hundred or two, that is, you can buy more than ten acres of land, plus the land from the tenants, and then you can build a house and marry a daughter-in-law for your son. With such a large sum of money, I am afraid that the Rong family will be reluctant to take it out, but who knows that there is still a amount of eight hundred taels, that is, it can buy hundreds of acres of land, and then it will not be to build a grass house, but to build a big brick house, and it can be picked when the son marries his daughter-in-law.
Silver, so much silver, Chu Lan's mother's eyes flashed, as if she saw those silver jumping into her arms. With so much silver, I would wake up laughing when I dreamed. With so much silver, you don't have to wait until the Chinese New Year to have meat to eat, and you can also eat a bowl of rice on weekdays.
Chu Lan's father was scolding the Rong family, and when he was scolding, he didn't hear Chu Lanniang's cry in his ears, and he looked down and saw his mother-in-law's eyes straight, as if he was thinking about something. This thing that has not been done enough, Chu Lan's father was annoyed and kicked Chu Lan Niang hard.
Chu Lan Niang's body hurts, and she cries louder, it is none other than my son. Chu Lan's father's beard was all cocked there, and he was foaming at the mouth and scolding the Rong family for being unkind, forcing his flower-like daughter to death, no matter what, I have to give myself an explanation today, otherwise, even if I sell this bone and beat the drum, I will fight this life lawsuit.
Chu Lan's father scolded there, Chu Lan's mother cried there, and Chu Lan's younger brother, who has just reached the age of ten this year, has never read any books, let alone seen any of the world, but I just heard my mother say that if you come here and cry, you can get money to go home and marry your daughter-in-law. Therefore, he knelt very upright, and wept twice from time to time, but his eyes kept turning around, looking for something interesting.
Chu Lan's family was in front of the Rong family, crying and scolding, but the door never opened, Chu Lan Niang couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart, in case this Rong family is not afraid of things, and does not put her whole family in her eyes at all, and even said that Chu Lan is looking for death by herself, and she wants to be worth money with her own family, but what should I do?
Chu Lan Niang couldn't help but quietly look at her man, expecting him to say a word. Chu Lan's father had already been told to cry, no matter how many days he cried, he had to wait until the door of the Rong family opened, otherwise not only would he not get the silver, but even the ten taels of silver that he had promised to his family would fly. Therefore, he didn't look at his mother-in-law at all, and he was still scolding there.
