Chapter 21: The Ring

Wan Yuanyuan thought for a while: "Then I'll try my best, while grandpa is asleep." ”

"Well, we'll meet here tomorrow evening to exchange things, and we'll see you there."

Jiang Cheng'er's bamboo pole hand and Wan Yuan's chubby bamboo shoot hand slapped each other.

Jiang Cheng'er returned home with a pot and a tinkling copper coin, mixed with the previous one, a total of two hundred and fifty wen.

Uh, the numbers are a bit of that, whatever, anyway, tomorrow the numbers will change again, and the money will be more and more.

Jiang Cheng'er and her two younger sisters excitedly sprinkled the copper coins all over the kang, and the three of them frolicked, happily put the money away, put it in a clay pot, and hid it tightly.

In two days, I will go to the town to catch the market and buy some daily necessities.

When Jiang Cheng'er was picking peach blossoms, she saw the colorful falling flowers, and she thought to herself that the peach blossoms tasted elegant and smelly, but they didn't open for a long time, and they were nowhere to be found when they withered. It is better to make peach blossom essential oil, which can be used for a long time.

After Jiang Cheng'er boiled out the soap paste, she deliberately pinched a few osmanthus petal-shaped ones.

Peach and Apple looked at the soap like osmanthus cake and couldn't help but drool.

Two little gluttonous cats, Jiang Cheng'er smiled dotingly.

She steamed the peach petals to remove impurities, mixed them with coarse grains, poured honey, added some noodles to make them, and made a few peach blossom cakes like bread to satisfy the cravings of her two younger sisters.

The next morning, Chu's mother took her four sons as promised to ask Jiang for debts.

Mother Chu didn't want to have trouble with the Jiang family again, and planned to leave as soon as she got the money.

The sons of the Chu family already liked Jiang Cheng'er, and they hoped that Jiang Cheng'er would marry them if the drunkard's money could not be repaid.

Jiang Cheng'er saw that someone was coming, so she opened the door of the cellar and released the Jiang drunkard who had been locked in it for three days.

Jiang drunkard was dizzy with hunger, looking sloppy, not a ghost.

His face was like a vegetable, his lips were chapped, his teeth were sticking to mud, and he was probably hungry in the cellar.

The drunkard Jiang was furious, eager to kill Jiang Cheng'er, but he had no strength at all. His arm was raised, and he didn't even reach the corner of Jiang Cheng'er's clothes, and he fell.

He roared hoarsely and ordered Liu to go and buy him wine to drink, he didn't starve to death, he was about to die of alcohol.

Liu endured the fear in his heart and brought him a bowl of water.

Jiang drunkard thought it was liquor, and drank it all in one gulp like a donkey drinking water, only to feel that it was not right, and he was about to fall out when he lifted the bowl.

Liu knew him too well, so he was on guard, caught the bowl in time, and brought it with vegetable paste.

The drunkard Jiang was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he snatched the bowl and snorted and drank to the sky.

Then he clutched his stomach and screamed, he felt that he had drunk water and vegetable paste, and the soil he ate in his stomach was like mud, sticky and uncomfortable.

Jiang Cheng'er had already walked out and politely received the mother and son of the Chu family, saying that his father was drunk last night and was not sober at home today, so please don't be surprised if he talks nonsense.

The mother and son of the Chu family walked in and were surprised by the sloppy appearance of the Jiang drunkard and beggar.

The drunkard Jiang was shocked when he saw the four tigers of the Chu family, and he was sloppy, saying that the money was spent by him for drinking, and he would definitely return it if he smashed the pot and sold the iron another day.

Mother Chu's accounts are good, so let the drunkard Jiang tell the money spent on wine and food, and she will calculate it clearly.

Faced with the four tigers of the Chu family and the shrewd Chu mother, the Jiang drunkard was forced to be helpless, and finally had to say that the money was used on the woman, and he bought a gold ring for the widow.

Hearing this come out of her husband's mouth with her own ears, Liu was extremely sad. I have been married for more than ten years, I have been a cow and a horse, tired and tired, not to mention a ring, even a head rope, her husband was not willing to buy it for her.

The mother and son of the Chu family despised the Jiang drunkard even more, and used the money from the sale of their daughter to buy a ring for their mistress, the best among the scumbags, the evil father and the evil husband.

The four tigers of the Chu family are even more sympathetic to Jiang Cheng'er, and it is really not easy for her to have such a drunkard and perverted ghost father.

Chu Mu snorted coldly, what kind of gold ring can you buy for two taels of silver, it is estimated that it is gold-plated, and it will fool the little widow who has never seen the world.

Mother Chu finally caught the drunkard Jiang today, and she would never return empty-handed, she asked the drunkard Jiang to get the ring back and exchange it for money, but the drunkard refused to live or die.

Mother Chu gave an order, and the four tigers of the Chu family carried the limbs of the Jiang drunkard respectively and walked out like a pig.

When he came to the courtyard, the drunkard hurriedly called out to his brother and younger brother to come out and save him.

Boss Jiang and Boss Jiang ran out when they heard the sound, followed by Boss Jiang's three sons, who temporarily intercepted the four tigers of the Chu family.

"Second child, where have you been these days, mother......"

Boss Jiang suddenly realized that there were people from other villages present, and they couldn't be seen as jokes. His tone changed, "Mother is worried about you." ”

Chu Dalang and Chu Sanlang glanced at each other, and they sent Mrs. Jiang to Old Man You's kang that night according to Jiang Cheng'er's plan. Mrs. Jiang became famous overnight at a great age, and the scandal had already spread to Houshantun.

"Yes, second brother, we can't find you anywhere, where have you been?" Jiang Laosan looked at the appearance of the second brother, as if he had crawled out of the garbage heap.

It's okay not to ask, but when I ask Jiang, the drunkard is angry and embarrassed, and he is sad.

In the past three days, he has almost starved to death, suffocated, and been bitten to death by rats in the dark cellar, and he has lived half his life, and he has never suffered such a great sin, all of which were harmed by Dani.

He couldn't care about face, gritted his teeth and said: "I've been in my own house all the time, and I've been imprisoned by the evil animal Dani...... cellar, almost died inside. Big brother, third brother, help me kill this evil beast who tried to kill my father, so as to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

Because of the dispute between her mother and the You family, Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao San originally had a lot of opinions about Dani.

Although they didn't believe that their mother was killed by Dani, Dani came out of You's house unharmed, the silver was gone, her mother was trapped, and Dani also had something to do with it.

When they heard that Dani had the audacity to kill her father, they were even more annoyed. The arrogant yellow-haired girl, beating this and harming that, the Jiang family can't let her go, no one can cure her, what's the matter.

Jiang Laosan scolded Jiang Cheng'er sharply, and Jiang Laosan couldn't wait to ask for family law.

The so-called family law is to take Daddy Jiang's jujube wood cane and punish the descendants of the Jiang family who made mistakes. Depending on the severity of the case, decide how many strokes the rod will be given.

They secretly said that with Dani's sins, if they didn't kill her, they would have to be crippled.

Jiang Cheng'er was not in a hurry: "Uncle, third uncle, my father is drunk." If you look at him, he probably ran out of money and was kicked out by the widow and drunk in the garbage heap. He had just come back in the middle of the night, and he was talking in a different way, perhaps because his brain was stimulated. ”

Hearing the name of the Yan widow, Boss Jiang lowered his head in embarrassment, and was a little weaker.

Drunkard Jiang was so angry that he threw out a string of customary swear words: "Your father has a leg, your mother is big, you are talking nonsense!" Lao Tzu was obviously locked up in the cellar by you, do you dare not admit it, Lao Tzu smoked you to death what kind of thing you raised! ”

Jiang Cheng'er was insulted, the four tigers of the Jiang family were indignant, and the four brothers tacitly let go at the same time.

The drunkard fell to the ground with a snap, clutching the back of his head, screaming in pain.

Jiang Cheng'er relieved her hatred a little, she suppressed her anger and said calmly: "Listen, my father even scolded himself, how can you believe his words." He was drunk and crazy, and he was able to burn down several houses of the Jiang family, you haven't seen him go crazy before.

Even if I put my father in the cellar, it was for his own good, to give him a stop from drinking. The eldest uncle and the third uncle are understandable people, don't let outsiders see jokes about our family's affairs, let's talk about it another day. ”

Boss Jiang and Boss Jiang felt that it made sense, but the drunkard Jiang was full of anger and refused to give up.

Mother Chu watched coldly, saw it clearly, and had a good impression of the smart and brave Jiang Cheng'er.

Mother Chu took a step forward and said, "Brother Jiang, we are only here today to get our money back, and we don't want to get involved in your housework." Brother Jiang is not feeling well, we will carry him to Widow Yan's house, and when the matter is done, we will send him back safe and sound. ”

Chu Mu not only politely expressed her intentions, but also changed the topic and relieved Jiang Cheng'er.

The four tigers of the Chu family lifted the Jiang drunkard and left, but the Jiang drunkard was powerless to struggle, but he shouted strongly in his mouth and resolutely did not go.

"Big brother, third brother, my good nephews, others have bullied our door. Why are you still stunned, stop them! ”

"Don't go! Running to our house to rob people, when our surname Jiang is a good bully, right? ”

Boss Jiang waved his hand, and while stopping the four tigers of the Chu family, he ordered his eldest son to run quickly and call the clansmen to come over to help.

Chu Saburo clapped his hands and shouted outside: "Brothers from Houshantun, come in." ”

Immediately, a group of strong men came in Hula and surrounded several men from the Jiang family.

The Chu family came this time to learn a lesson and make adequate preparations.

Boss Jiang was dumbfounded, and said soft words in a panic.

The drunkard Jiang wilted now, and was carried away without daring to resist at all, attracting the attention of countless people on the way, and the villagers with good deeds followed him all the way to the widow's house.

The glamorous widow buttoned the button and opened the door with a peach blossom face, while a man ran out of the fence wall.

The widow saw four tall, powerful, and dignified men standing outside, and one of the twins was particularly eye-catching, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"A few little brothers, please come to the house, my sister will take good care of you." She scratched her head, smiled and beckoned, and the gold ring sparkled.

The four men of the Chu family frowned in disgust, and Chu Dalang dodged and pushed the Jiang drunkard who was blocking behind him forward.

The widow was cold and saw the sloppy appearance of the drunkard Jiang, and it smelled stinky, so she covered her mouth and took a step back in disgust.

Drunkard Jiang's pale face turned pale, sad and angry.

It's not that he doesn't know that the widow is as good as she can do, but he still fell into it and wanted to marry her and go home to be a wife. She is delicate and very good at disguise in front of him, making him think that he is her favorite.

But how could he not be annoyed when he saw her selling to other men today, treating herself like a stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

He couldn't pull his face and ask her for the ring back, but now in a fit of anger, he can say anything.
