Chapter 12: The Lost Dog

The eldest brother still received the money, rented a house in the city, and prepared more food to hide. Whether it is the white-shirt army fighting Jinling or Jinling martial law, the city is more peaceful than the outside of the city. ”

Of course, Huo Wu would not say anything about things related to his family's life like "Jiao Entangled" and "Jiaohua Dragon", but only talked about the previous killing of bandits and repelling bandits.

"Nanshan Village didn't say it in advance, only said about saving people on the road, the Shi family is the head snake of the land, and now it's all good, in order to save his own children, he really wants to bite back, and we can't say clearly. I don't dare to be reckless at all! ”

Uncle Huo nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's still far away from Jinling." ”

The fate of the Haw Par brothers is up to the two brothers to decide on their own; The stone went and stayed, and the two brothers had an argument.

Uncle Huo is over the age of six, and there is only this one grandson by his side, so he should naturally stay by his side to serve.

Uncle Huo refused, and wanted to entrust the stone to Huo Wu's father and son.

"Big brother, the stone is filial, he won't be willing! It's not like the two of us won't come back, and the next time we come back, if we want to go out, we will follow out. Huo Wudao.

Uncle Huo remembered his grandson's temperament, sighed, and said no more.

When it was time for supper, the people gathered in the house.

Millet porridge, steamed cake made of millet flour and glutinous rice, served with cold cabbage heart and shredded radish, is very refreshing and delicious.

After the meal, the lamp was turned on, and everyone was in the hall, talking about looking for work in the afternoon.

The three sons of the Niu family found an errand for a temporary partner in the grain store, and they will set off to Changzhou tomorrow to deliver grain; Huo Bao bought things and inquired about prices, but he didn't find a suitable errand.

"The owner also called people to follow the car, or a few stones will also go to Changzhou, fifty yuan a day." Niu Dalang greeted warmly.

Jinling to Changzhou more than 300 miles, round trip for half a month, is a small one or two silver.

Huo Bao was eager to try, but the stone had no idea and looked at Uncle Huo.

Uncle Huo couldn't help but be moved, but Huo Wu frowned.

I have inquired about the price of rice before, a bucket of millet 100 yuan, the salary of this shop for two days is a bucket of rice, and the salary is too generous.

"How many people have been recruited? How much grain do you want to ship? Huo Wu asked.

"There are more than 100 numbers, and it is estimated that there will be twenty or thirty cars."

"Is there an old buddy?"

"Yes, each car is accompanied by two old guys, each with big shoulders and round waists, and has the strength to handle it."

"Old Five, but what's wrong?" Uncle Huo asked curiously.

"The remuneration given is too much, there are many homeless beggars inside and outside Jinling, as long as they greet the rice, they can recruit a lot of people, where can they use fifty yuan a day?"

The room fell silent.

"Fifth Uncle Huo, that ...... What's going on? Can you still take this errand? Niu Dalang said with anxiety.

"It's hard to say! The localities are still far from the summer harvest, and there will be a shortage of grain for two or three months. It's better to inquire more. Huo Wu thought for a while and said.

The three sons of the Niu family looked at each other.

Since they went out to find a job for half a day, they are not ignorant of the price of labor. Nowadays, there are few people working in the market, and it is true that as Huo Wu said, many workers are only in charge of food and do not have a penny.

I was burned by the fifty a day's wages before, but now that I think about it, it's not weird. Thinking of the group of guys who left today, the brothers were a little afraid.

Are those people really going to carry grain? If it weren't for the grain shipment, where would it go?

The room fell silent, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a quick knock on the door in the courtyard, and everyone got up and left the house.

"Fifth Brother Huo, it's me!" Someone was dumb and greeted through the door, and the voice was none other than Jia Yuan.

Huo Wuda stepped forward in a few steps and opened the door.

Outside the door, there were more than a dozen people standing in Hulala, led by Jia Yuan's father and son, who had just parted in the morning.

"Second Brother Jia, this ...... Come on in! Huo Wu hesitated for a moment and beckoned everyone into the courtyard.

Jia Yuan was obviously furious, his eyes were red, his forehead was bruised, and he clenched his fists and couldn't speak.

Jia Daishan was quick to speak, and he was already crying: "Huo Wubo, my grandfather expelled us from the house, and he asked someone to beat the uncle!" The eldest aunt stopped and was also beaten! ”

Only then did everyone realize that there were a few healthy servants in the crowd, and it was a middle-aged man with closed eyes and no blood. Next to him was a woman, weak and leaning on a servant, also unsteady. Listening to the voice, these two people were none other than Jia Yuan's brother and sister-in-law.

Huo Wugu couldn't ask for details, and asked someone to help the husband and wife into the room.

At this moment, Jia Daihua also arrived in a hurry, followed by an old doctor with a medicine box on his back.

But after half a day's effort, the young man with an elegant temperament is more cold.

Jia Yan was beaten by twenty boards, and the flesh and blood between his back and his strands were blurred, and the old doctor sighed when he saw it: "I'm afraid I've beaten hard, I'm afraid I've hurt my bones, and I have to keep my life." ”

looked at Na Jia Yan's wife again, and whispered: "To be a small moon at this age, you have to take care of it carefully, otherwise you are afraid that it will hinder your lifespan." ”

Jia Yuan listened angrily and asked for the doctor's advice, Huo Wu and Huo Bao father and son glanced at each other, and they all thought of the Xue family.

When the doctor left, Huo Wu asked in a low voice: "Ling Zun is angry with your brothers because of the Xue family's affairs?" ”

"Anger? It's just a matter of using the topic to play! Jia Yuan's face was full of grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth.

It is said that "family ugliness should not be publicized", but when it comes to the point where the two brothers are expelled from the house, there is nothing to hide.

The two brothers, Jia Yan and Jia Yuan, are siblings, not that Huo Wu thought they were side branches of the Jia family, but that they were born from the eldest wife of the Jia family.

The two biological mothers of the brothers died early, and the biological father remarried.

Since ancient times, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and it is true.

In addition, the two biological mothers' mothers and mothers' families were defeated, and their mother's uncles were admitted to the Jinshi, and they fell together, which made the two brothers have no backers, and their lives are like Coptis chinensis.

The two brothers were jealous of their stepmother and suppressed by their family, and they couldn't do anything, and all their hopes were placed on Jia Daihua.

The reason why he agreed to let the children who were the most promising Jinshi in the examination marry the Xue family was not because he coveted the wealthy marriage of the businessmen, but because he bypassed the clan to take the exam by taking the exam by taking advantage of the relationship between the Xue family and the prefect's yamen.

But success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He.

Last year, their brothers used the Xue family relationship to arrange for Jia Daihua to take the children's exam, and now their stepmother can take advantage of the fact that the Xue family was raided to encourage her husband to expel her two original sons-in-law.

Even the inn in the city was not allowed to stay, so that the Jia Yuan brothers could only go out of the city overnight.

Huo Wu's father and son listened to it, and they had to ask two questions about the reason why the Xue family was raided.

"The news from the yamen, the prefect's backer has fallen, it is estimated that he knows that he can't keep the fat shortage of the Jinling prefect, and if he wants to make a profit before leaving, he has set his sights on the Xue family, who has no backing." Jia Yuan said: "But Xue Biao is a person who takes one step and sees three steps, and he has already sent away all the money and property, leaving only a bunch of concubines to raise children, so that the prefect's yamen ran away!" ”

The prefect did not get the Xue family's silver, so he had to focus on the local big households.

The stepmother of the Jia family took advantage of not affecting the Jia family to encourage her husband to expel the two brothers of the Jia family, and by the way, she ruined the imperial examination career of the eldest grandson of the Jia family.

The descendants who were removed from the family have a marriage contract with the gangsters, and they are not innocent, so how easy is it to talk about if they want to be promoted by the imperial examination?

"Second Brother Jia, what are your plans for the future?" Huo Wu sighed and asked.

I have heard that brothers fight for family property and fight for people's brains and become dog brains, but it is really rare for this biological grandfather to be bewitched by a woman and ruthlessly cut off his grandson's future.

"When the eldest brother is ready, we will go to join the army! was overwhelmed in his early years, and Shi Jin mentioned this matter...... has always been pressed by filial piety, and now he has become a lonely ghost without a family, but he is at ease! Jia Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "The black-hearted woman, if you want to destroy the future of modernization, trample on us to death, we are not dead!" ”

Huo Wu shook his head and took it as a warning.

In the future, you have to take a good look at your son's daughter-in-law, and you can't let such a short-sighted and vicious woman enter the door.

What kind of year is this, it is the time when the family should work together, but it is tossed from the inside.

This Jia family, it is difficult to be undefeated.

Huo Bao followed the father and son, but he was secretly talking.

The two founding fathers of the future, from the sons of gentry families to the servants without family protection, seem to have a reason to rebel.

Waiting for the Jia family to settle down temporarily, Shi Jin hurried over.

is a real person, and he didn't say anything about the same enemy, but he also put down his words to let the Jia brothers rest well, and help Jia Yuan run the shortage in the army tomorrow.

The Jia family rested in the small courtyard for a night, and the next day they rented another house nearby and moved out, but before leaving, there was only one person left.
