On the ninth day of the seventh month, the school exams.

The content of the exam is that the teacher randomly says a piece of the Analects and asks the students to write it out...... Actually, it's dictation! The exam lasted for half an hour, and Mr. marked the test papers on the spot, because they were all newly enlightened children, the words were written crookedly, and there were many mistakes and omissions, Su Yunzhong's face was gloomy when he was marking the test papers.

In the end, Su Yunzhong's face finally got a little better, because he saw Shen Yuan and Shen Xi's scrolls...... Shen Yuan is talented and intelligent, coupled with his hard work, he is a leader among his peers, and almost all of the "Analects" written silently are correct. It was only because of Shen Xi's unique conditions that he had to settle for second.

But in any case, among the students in the lower age of the school, the two brothers of the Shen family occupied the first and second places in the exam, which made Su Yunzhong feel very pleased.

Although Shen Xi had expected this result for a long time, he still had a sense of relief. In fact, he didn't attach much importance to this achievement, but this was the spiritual sustenance of Zhou and Shen Mingjun, and he was also nervous.

"Thank you, sir!"

After getting the results, he saluted Su Yunzhong respectfully, and then walked out of the classroom under Su Yunzhong's smiling gaze - he had to hurry home and tell the second elder the good news.

It's a pity that when I got home, I found that there was no one to ...... At this time, my father and mother are still working!

Shen Xi was sitting at the gate of the courtyard with Mr. writing a comment on it, wondering if he had been too carefree these days, and whether it was necessary to find a way to earn some pocket money, when he suddenly saw neighbors watching from the pharmacy, as if something had happened.

Shen Xi secretly screamed badly, hurriedly went back to the room to put down the test papers, and then trotted all the way over, squeezed into the crowd, and saw two dusty men coming to the pharmacy, the younger ones were in their twenties, and the older ones looked like they were in their forties, and they were talking loudly and emotionally, looking arrogant.

There were also people around the back door of the pharmacy, but no one was willing to help.

Hui Niang stood behind the counter, held her daughter in front of her, lowered her head and hid her face and cried, Lu Xi'er was young and didn't know why her mother was crying, so she looked up at her mother in confusion.

“…… When you enter the Lu family, you are the Lu family, and now that the husband is gone, everything about you will be decided by us. How can this Lu family's property be occupied by a person with a foreign surname? ”

The words of the older man finally solved Shen Xi's confusion, and it turned out to be someone from Hui Niangfu's family.

Hui Niang said before that the Lu family was not a native of Ninghua, and their ancestral home was Jianchang Mansion, Jiangxi. She was engaged in the medicinal herb business with her husband, and came to Ninghua County to slowly purchase these industries.

There are no parents and brothers on her husband's side, so Hui Niang feels that she should never see her husband's family again.

Who knew that there were still people from the side branches on the Lu family's side after all, and they learned about Hui Niang's current situation through the mouth of the businessman. Originally, no one paid attention to her orphans and widows when they found out, but the key is that her husband also left an inheritance, and the shop and yard were worth at least a few dozen taels of silver when sold.

Rich and red eyes, no, someone finally came to the door!

Inside and outside the pharmacy, it was crowded.

Whether it is a neighbor or a person who has never lived before, they all come to see the excitement.

Although the widow with her five-year-old daughter is pitiful, it is difficult for others to intervene in the struggle for property within the family.

What's more, in this era, women have a low status, and Hui Niang ran a pharmacy to show up, and she has long been gossiped about by the neighbors, who wants to go to the young widow's pharmacy to grab medicine?

Even if it's fine, you can do something!

The orphans and widows were helpless, but the neighbors next to Shenxi, especially the women, were all chewing their tongues, and they were talking extremely ugly.

According to them, Hui Niang should remarry at a young age and teach her husband and children at home.

And in the lobby of the pharmacy, as soon as the old man finished speaking, the young one jumped out again, his eyes full of greed: "Brother and daughter-in-law, although I am separated from Shaobo and him, how can I say that it is also the Lu family, and now you can hear the words of the lobby uncle clearly?" In any case, this pharmacy is my Lu family's property, and it must be taken back. Of course, in order to avoid being called impersonal, we can give you two days to clean up. ”

"If you two are worried that you will be in a foreign country and have no place to go, we have also arranged it for you, go back with us, and find someone to marry among the people surnamed Lu, you are still our Lu family."

Hui Niang sobbed: "The shop was left by Xianggong, and Xianggong said before he died, this shop is left to me and Xi'er, even if we marry in the future." Not to mention...... The concubine has no intention of marrying, and must observe the festival for the public. ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his fist and made a gesture of wanting to beat someone: "Why are you so stubborn as your cousin and nephew? Is it up to you to be in charge of this? ”

"The Lu family's industry naturally belongs to the Lu family! We didn't know before, but now that my cousin has passed away, his family property should naturally be returned to the family, even if it goes to the government, then we are justified! ”

Although Hui Niang is very afraid of these husbands, after all, she is used to coming out often to show her face, and she is not as cowardly as ordinary boudoir women, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Anyway, the concubine body does not agree, please go back." ”

"Oh......"

There was a commotion at the door.

Watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, this Lu family is menacing, but it can't make a poor little widow succumb, which suddenly makes the people around feel extremely strange.

The Lu family couldn't hold their face.

But here is in Ninghua County after all, the two of them came from afar and were aggressive, thinking that they could do it with one blow, but now Hui Niang didn't buy it, and they didn't dare to blatantly rob people and seize the store.

The two discussed it for a while, and some couldn't make up their minds. The elderly Lu family saw that there were more and more onlookers, and said in a loud voice: "You ****, you must have provoked a lot of wild men outside, making my cousin Jiuquan unpeaceful...... Let's go, and I'll settle accounts with you when I come back. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this Lu family came to fight for the family property, it was not unprepared, this move was very vicious to retreat into advance.

Button Sun Huiniang a big hat of "unchastity", regardless of whether it is a fact or not, as long as people feel that the widow coming out to show her head may hinder the weathering, and they don't need to ask for it, the county town will also have an opinion on Huiniang, making her isolated.

The Lu family finally left, and seeing the lively people disperse one after another, Sun Huiniang lay on the counter aggrievedly and cried for a while before getting up to clean up the medicinal herbs that had been knocked over to the ground.

Those medicinal materials are her lifeblood, although I don't know if this medicine shop will belong to her in the future, but as long as she is the shopkeeper for one day, she will take care of the property left by her husband.

"Auntie, I'll help you."

The onlookers finally dispersed completely, and Shen Xi walked into the store to help Hui Niang pick up the medicinal herbs scattered on the ground.

Originally, Shen Xi called Hui Niang as her aunt, but Zhou felt that it was not appropriate, she felt that she and Hui Niang were like sisters, and it was more appropriate to call Hui Niang aunt, Shen Xi felt that it was a title anyway, and it didn't matter what it was called, so she adopted it.

Hui Niang wiped the tears from her face, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Xiaolang is so good." ”

Shen Xi said to Lu Xi'er, who was in a daze next to her, "Little girl, why don't you come over and help your mother?" ”

"Oh."

Lu Xi'er is just a five-year-old girl, how can she know her mother's suffering? Hearing Shen Xi's call, he hurriedly ran over and followed him to pick up medicinal herbs.

After all the medicinal materials were picked up and the dustpan was retrieved, Hui Niang still couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, sat down and cried for a while, remembering that it was not suitable to open the door for business at this time, so she went to close the door and went back to the bedroom in the backyard alone.

Shen Xi glanced at the door, and saw Hui Niang kneeling in front of her husband's tablet crying, and her heart couldn't help but feel gloomy. Being in a foreign land, with no relatives, and no one to talk to, I can only tell my dead husband when I am wronged, but what is the use of this?
