With his hands behind his back, his head lowered slightly, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes seemed a little hollow, but his steps were mechanical, obviously, Wang Shihua fell into deep thought, and moreover, he was thinking about happy things.

As soon as his right foot crossed the threshold of the study, he saw Jiang Shoucheng walking briskly.

"Head of the house, something happened."

He withdrew his right foot, turned to look at Jiang Shoucheng, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"There's an accident at the racecourse."

As he walked towards the horse walk, he asked, "What's going on?" ”

In this era, the methods of quitting smoking are simple and rude typical: if you are addicted to smoking, feed a blackhead pill, tie it to the stigma and boil it, and after you get through the smoking addiction, loosen the binding, feed some gruel, and it's over. But thousands of people quit smoking at the same time, and where can the supply of blackhead pills keep up, accidents are inevitable. The first three days of quitting smoking are the hardest, as if they are increasing by a grade every day, getting harder and harder, but as long as you get through the third day, from the fourth day onwards, the grade will get lower and lower, and it will be much easier. Generally speaking, after surviving the seventh day, it is basically even if you quit your body's addiction to smoking, and go home and raise it for another month, which is no different from ordinary people.

This time it is an opium ghost with more than ten years of smoking experience, nicknamed Qian Laosan, almost fifty years old. On the third day, he did not survive the pass, tied to the head of the column and wailed for mercy, but the more he begged for mercy, the more people would not let him loose, and encouraged him to grit his teeth and hold on. After finding that his eyes were rolling and his mouth was foaming at the mouth and fainting, he quickly took him down, but found that he was already angry, and in the end, he was not rescued and died.

Wang Shihua's heart was relieved: the opium ghost died one by one, and he didn't care at all.

As soon as he stopped, he said to Jiang Shoucheng: "You go and clean up, give his family fifty yuan, and bury him quickly." In the future, if there is such a thing again, it will be compensated fifty yuan, which is regarded as the funeral expenses. ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Shoucheng came to the horse walking farm again with more than a dozen guards, and when he saw everyone getting up and looking over, he sneered: "The head of the family has said, the opium ghost is not my Wang family. Qian Laosan's body should have been thrown into the mass grave, but it can be seen that Qian Laosan was also a man when he was young, and he made military exploits for his family, and specially cared for his family fifty yuan, and agreed to send his spiritual ring to the Zhongyi Temple to enjoy the filial piety of future generations. That's it. Whoever dares to make trouble will be dealt with according to family law. ”

Those who take care of and treat opium ghosts don't care at all: these days they look at all kinds of ugly scenes of opium ghosts, they look down on opium ghosts in their hearts, therefore, the head of the family said that opium ghosts are not the Wang family, they also take it for granted, and even secretly happy: the Wang family has been good at fighting since ancient times, worshipping heroes, such a cowardly soft egg can also be called the Wang family, others know, isn't it a shame for everyone?

"Big housekeeper, if we quit smoking, will we still be considered a member of the Wang family?"

"Those who successfully quit smoking or die are counted as the Wang family, but if you can't quit, hey! Do you think you still have the face to say that it is my royal family? ”

The crowd immediately began to discuss.

Jiang Shoucheng ordered the guards to cover Qian Laosan's body with a white cloth, carry it to the town, and give it to Qian Laosan's family.

I thought that Qian Laosan's fierce wife would take the opportunity to make a fuss, after all, it was a big living person who was sent to quit smoking, but it turned out to be a corpse back, who would be happy?

What Jiang Shoucheng never expected was that after Qian Laosan's fierce wife saw the corpse, she cried directly, only scolding Qian Laosan for being a short-lived ghost, and never mentioning how Qian Laosan died.

Originally, he was thinking that she would dare to make trouble, so he relied on his identity to suppress her, but seeing this, Jiang Shoucheng was a little embarrassed. took out the money bag containing fifty yuan, and comforted him while handing it over: "Auntie, you mourn and change...... The head of the family said that Qian Laosan was a good man when he was young, and he made great contributions to the family, but now although he smokes opium and becomes like this, he can make merit and pass, and the rewards and punishments are clear...... This is a special gift from the head of the family for fifty pieces of ocean, you can take it. ”

Qian Laosan's wife didn't accept the money, Jiang Shoucheng thought she was not satisfied, and his heart immediately became angry, his face changed, and he was about to scold.

Qian Laosan's eldest daughter-in-law saw that the housekeeper's face was pale, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she quickly took the money, but before she could thank her, she was snatched by her mother-in-law from the money bag. After glaring at the eldest daughter-in-law fiercely, he respectfully returned his hands to Jiang Shoucheng and said, "Big housekeeper, we can't ask for this money." ”

"Why?"

"Big housekeeper, don't you know, the third child has been smoking a lot of cigarettes for so many years, and the scourge of the family is solid, if it weren't for the fact that my three sons are still fighting and supporting this family, otherwise, the family is now afraid that even my grandchildren will starve to death...... Now that he is dead, to tell you the truth, I am relieved in my heart, the family can finally have a good life......" Speaking of this, seeing Jiang Shoucheng's face surprised, she looked at Qian Laosan's corpse and sneered: "To tell the truth, for the sake of me and his husband and wife, I want to cry him, but if he is not my man, as soon as I hear that he is dead, I will definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate...... Such an opium ghost harms others and himself, pigs and dogs are not as good, they deserve to die, how can they still ask for the family's pension. I'm going to take this money, and I won't have the face to see my ancestors after I die. ”

Jiang Shoucheng was very happy to hear this, took out another twenty yuan and put it into the money bag, and said: "I admire you for this deep understanding of righteousness, Shoucheng admires it, this money is considered my filial piety to you." You take it and go! ”

After speaking, he slapped the money bag on the hand of Qian Laosan's wife, and left quickly in the applause of the audience.

If it weren't for the fact that he had quit smoking and died, even Jiang Shoucheng would have doubted: Could this be a special arrangement by the head of the family?

After Wang Shihua heard about this, he sighed again and again that the clansmen understood the righteousness, and even the women knew the powerful relationship, which showed how powerful the poisoning of opium was, and also strengthened Wang Shihua's determination to ban smoking in the whole clan.

In Zhang Cuiyun's room, several girls were playing mahjong, and Wang Shihua was playing on the bed with her two baby daughters. The eldest daughter is almost half a year old, barely able to climb, at this time she is holding Wang Shihua's hand, breaking it over, swinging over, Wang Shihua swings a little harder, she "Ah!" Yikes! Laughing, hugging and biting Wang Shihua's wrist more vigorously, he was having a lot of fun. The youngest daughter Jin Xia couldn't move yet, so she could only lie on the side, with her big round and clear eyes, and when she saw her sister playing happily with her father, she said, "Ah! Yikes! A few times to show that he also wanted to participate...... Wang Shihua's arm shook a little bit bigger, and Jin Cui fell on Jin Xia's body with it, Jin Xia was in pain, "Wow~!" The ground cried suddenly, and Jin Cui on the side also pouted when he heard the crying, looking like he wanted to cry. The two nurses hurriedly picked up the child and coaxed it, while Wang Shihua smiled at everyone who came over with some embarrassment, causing everyone to cover their mouths and laugh.

"You can't take the child well, what do you say?"

Faced with Zhang Cuiyun's complaints, Wang Shihua simply fell on the bed and pretended to be dead.

He Mei thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Little bastard, have you informed the other three families and the government about the smoking ban?" ”

Wang Shihua sat up and smiled at He Mei: "No, what's wrong?" ”

"Then you're not going to answer them?"

"But my Wang family's ban on smoking is my Wang family's business, what does it have to do with them?"

"It's your business to ban smoking, but the problem is, if you want to deal with those opium dealers, you have to deal with them."

Wang Shihua was shocked: He Mei reminded him that the Wang family's ban on smoking, the price of opium in the sphere of influence doubled in a few days, although I haven't heard any action from the opium dealers so far, but it is estimated that they are observing: first, to see if the Wang family is really determined to quit smoking this time, and second, they all want others to be the first bird, to try whether the Wang family's knife is still sharp. Therefore, when the price is high to a certain level, there will inevitably be opium dealers who will take risks.

There are pros and cons to everything! The Wang family's ban on smoking is equivalent to giving them a sharp weapon: if they are in a good mood, they can sit and watch the Wang family make trouble, but if they want to make harm to the Wang family, they will send their own opium dealers to sell it. What can your Wang family do? Arrest people, the master behind them said a favor, unless the Wang family wants to start a family war, otherwise, the most is a penalty. But in this way, it will inevitably make the opium dealers arrogant, and they will sell opium to the Wang family's territory even more rampantly, and at that time, as soon as there is too much opium, many people will inevitably smoke it again, and the Wang family's ban on smoking will really become a joke.

"Aunt He, I was negligent, thank you for reminding me."

He Mei smiled at this time: "Little bastard, don't just stare at the little thing in your bowl, but enlarge your heart a little and take a long-term view, so that you can consider it holistically and be invincible." ”

"Yes! Shihua remembers. Saying that, Wang Shihua hugged He Mei and said, "I'll send someone to inform the three of them." ”

"Wait a minute."

Seeing Wang Shihua look over, He Mei smiled and said, "I just reminded you that you have to think about it all." If you take one step at a time, sooner or later you will have to walk into someone else's trap, and you don't know why you will suffer a big loss. ”

Seeing Wang Shihua looking at it puzzled, He Mei put down the mahjong in her hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you think that as long as the three of them are guarded against this matter, they only need to notify the government?" ”

"Yes!"

"You're wrong, the focus of this matter is indeed to guard against the three of them, but the question is, can you beat the three of them alone?"

"Aunt He, what do you mean by this......"

"Since one person can't beat the three of them, and the matter has to be done, then, you should go to a helper to help." As she spoke, He Mei laughed, and that strong confidence appeared in her eyes again: "Hasn't the government been talking about smoking bans?" Now that you are carrying out the government's orders, how can you reverse the priorities and let the government watch the drama from the sidelines...... In order to achieve your ultimate goal, you should spend some money. Remember, anything that can be solved with money doesn't matter. ”

Speaking of this, He Mei put down the teacup and started playing mahjong again.

Wang Shihua waited for a while, saw that there was no follow-up, and was about to ask carefully, but saw He Mei look up and asked suspiciously: "I told you everything, why are you still standing there like wood?" Why don't you do it soon? ”

Then he waved his hand as if chasing flies, and complained, "Get out!" Get out! Your old pestle is there, blocking my feng shui. ”

Wang Shihua could only hug He Mei with his fist, and while walking out quickly, he was thinking about He Mei's words with thoughts like electricity.

He Mei's words are clear enough, and the meaning is easy to understand, it is nothing more than borrowing strength to pull others to fight thunder together. But the problem is that the process of implementation and the grasp of the intensity is a key big problem: the implementation is too fierce and too resolute, which will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the other three, but it is better to raise it high and put it down gently, it is better not to stop smoking, at least, it will not make people see jokes.

How exactly should it be implemented......
