Guo Chengling came out of the house, and his head was still full of the words he had said to Lin Xiaowan. And I can't help but think about the scene when I met with the general.

The general said that he was like a man.

He also said that they would meet again.

Guo Chengling couldn't help but think: Could it be that the general already knows something? Or will the general bring those government troops to him?

Those government troops...... Which one is it?

The pattern is the same, so this Hou Mansion should be related to himself, right?

Guo Chengling always felt that he should know, but he couldn't think of it. As long as I think about it, what comes to my mind is the image of eating grilled fish with the general.

He simply didn't think about it anymore, and he didn't want to look for relatives anyway.

Lin Xiaowan's mind is much more active. She made up a lot of pictures in her brain, such as Guo Chengling confessed her relatives, it was better to catch up with her father's family, and then they got along well, and then they lived a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

I left the small village of Xinghua Village and went to the capital, and talked and laughed with some young ladies of the Kuo family every day......

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaowan quickly shook her head.

This is not the life she wants to live.

The next one is that Guo Chengling was recognized, but for such a son who has been exiled for many years, and he has a rural atmosphere, he really can't like it. My father and stepmother, half of my brother's life is not easy. Even Guo Chengling was calculated, and finally ......

Phew!

This ending is too tragic.

In the end, Lin Xiaowan thought that it must be under the leadership of such a smart and clever daughter-in-law as her that she debunked their conspiracies, punched her vicious stepmother, and stepped on unscrupulous relatives and friends, so that she could gain a firm foothold in the huge family and get ahead.

Then she was so immersed in her own imagination that she forgot that she had something to do.

One is lying in bed daydreaming, and the other is doing manual work under the sun.

Lin Xiaowan and Guo Chengling are simply a stark contrast.

When the sun went down, Lin Xiaowan came out of the house leisurely. Although I still feel a little guilty, it's really cool to lie down if I have nothing to do!

Walking to their own house, seeing that the old house had been cleaned up, Luo Quansheng and Li Datou were measuring with the two of them, and when they saw Lin Xiaowan coming over, they said hello and said, "Xiaowan is here to inspect?" ”

"Well, this job is not neat."

Lin Xiaowan immediately smiled: "It's too neat." You're so reliable. ”

Then she looked left and right and didn't see Guo Chengling.

Li Datou said: "Looking for Chengling, right?" Don't look at it, it's so flat, there is no place for Tibetans. Chengling took Shanzi to the river, washed the oxen and cart, and brought it back to Lao Wang after finishing the work. ”

Lin Xiaowan sighed, and then said, "Then you guys are busy, I'll help cook." ”

That being said, Lin Xiaowan didn't feel that she still needed her help to cook the meal. After all, it's not early, and Aunt Li and they must have done it well.

I just don't know if Aunt Wang has come back.

At this time, it should be about the same. After all, it will be dark even later.

And it won't go far to inquire about the news.

When I entered the door, there was no movement in the kitchen, but there was a commotion in the room, all of which were indignant voices.

"What's the matter! How much can a man eat from him to beat a man like this? ”

"Report to the officer!"

"What's the use of reporting to the official, such a trivial matter, is it possible to arrest the shopkeeper?"

"Then let them lose money!"

Aunt Wang said: "That's unreasonable, I just went over and asked, and they drove me out and didn't admit it at all." But the villagers have said that even if they move their hands, they are still on the street. ”

As she was talking, Lin Xiaowan entered the door.

"Aunt Wang, have you heard the news?" Lin Xiaowan asked.

At this time, several people were sitting around the table, and there were some studies and books on the table. The books were bundled and wrapped in oiled paper.

Liu Yang stood behind Liu, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Aunt Wang's face was angry, and she was panting heavily. Hearing Lin Xiaowan's voice, he turned his head and responded, "Xiaowan is here." I inquired, but it made me angry. ”

"What's going on?" Lin Xiaowan asked again.

She could only get a rough idea of what she had just heard, and she also wanted to know what was going on.

"I'll tell you." Liu said, "Sister Wang, you drink saliva first, and go well." ”

There's no way, Aunt Wang is too angry. Just talking about it here is already like this, but you can imagine what it will be like on the spot.

Maybe they've already exploded, right?

Then Lin Xiaowan listened to Liu explain the matter. This is what Aunt Wang and Liu Yang said, and they are combined.

The thing is probably that after Liu Yang took the car to Linshui Town, he found a noodle restaurant to eat at the place where he got off the car, but after eating, he found that the money bag was gone. As for the store, it was not said that Liu Yang was determined to eat the overlord meal, so he beat Liu Yang up without saying anything.

As simple as it sounds, there are actually some things that have passed.

Let's just say that Liu Yang, a literati scholar, must be to reason with the store, saying that he really lost his money bag, and hopes to give him a chance, and he will definitely get the food money back at that time. He is a scholar, and he will never be untrustworthy.

But how could the other party believe it? rummaged through Liu Yang's body, but he didn't find anything valuable.

Aunt Wang said that the business of this noodle restaurant is very poor, so she pointed to slaughtering some passing customers to live. So his noodles are surprisingly expensive, and as for the taste...... Don't dare to compliment.

Everyone in the town knows about it, but people are arrogant, so no one dares to mess with it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what your own business is, love is what it is.

Aunt Wang's encounter is also very easy to inquire. When I got to the street, I heard someone talking, and after a few more questions, the matter became clear.

As for the identity of the store......

Lin Xiaowan also asked: "It's just a noodle restaurant, and there is no business, why is it arrogant?" ”

"He's a distant relative of a well-known squire in Linshui Town. Although this squire has long since stopped living in the town, the influence is still there. Everyone doesn't want to provoke right and wrong, so they give up a few points in everything. Over time, it became like this. Aunt Wang thought about it and said.

This is also what I heard when I inquired about it, and as for who the squire was, I should know it without asking in detail.

In the early years, there was a great drought and the grain harvest was poor, so he saved some silver by pouring grain and selling grain, and then started a grain and oil business. Then it got bigger and bigger, and there were his grain stores in many places in Da Zhou. It is said that he traveled for many years, and later returned to Qinghe County.

I renovated the old house in Linshui Town, and occasionally came back to live for a while.

Aunt Wang said: "This grandson's achievements look good now, but in the early years, it was not much different from bandits. Do you think you have to be able to pour grain and sell grain during a famine? ”

That's why it will have such a deep impact in Linshui Town.

And that distant relative dared to be so fearless.

Furious!

But Lin Xiaowan can also understand. Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not business, why merchants throughout the ages are called profiteers, it is here.

But no one owes anyone else, so there's no need to dwell on that.

Looking back at Liu Yang's matter, it's simple. It's nothing more than provoking the poor relatives of the local tyrant's family, either a dog fighting with people, or a fox and a fake tiger, anyway, it's not a good thing.

Justice must be begged, but how to ask for it has to be reconsidered.

After chatting for a while, the sky had already darkened, and Aunt Wang's anger went down, and she got up and said, "Let's go and cook the meal first, it's going to be dark." ”

Li Xiufen said: "If I wait for you any longer, I don't know if I can eat it." It's all ready, and the dishes are ready to cook. ”

"Doesn't that have to be cooked?"

As they spoke, the three of them walked out. Before going out, Li Xiufen said to Lin Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, the flowers picked are in the bamboo basket in the yard, you go and see if it's right, and then tell your aunt." ”

Lin Xiaowan responded, first went out to take a look, made sure it was right, and then shouted into the kitchen: "Aunt Li, that's right." Thank you for your hard work. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Li Xiufen in the kitchen shouted loudly.

Anyway, I used to go out to hunt pigweed, so I didn't have to talk about any hard work.

After returning to the house, Lin Xiaowan sat down and said to Liu Yang, "Sit down and talk about it." ”

Liu Yang hesitated for a moment, and after slowly sitting down, he still lowered his head and said, "I'm fine." It's true that I didn't pay for my meals, and I didn't get beaten in vain. ”

"A bowl of noodles for a beating, isn't it called a vain beating?" Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes, "You said that if you said it directly, wouldn't you have to trouble Aunt Wang to go on a trip." I didn't say anything about running away, but I was angry. ”

Liu Yang said stubbornly: "I didn't want to make trouble for you, so I didn't say it." And ......"

Lin Xiaowan stared at Liu Yang and said, "And what?" ”

"Nothing." Liu Yang said weakly.

Lin Xiaowan was not much older than Liu Yang, but now she looked like an elder, and reprimanded: "You want to say, and we also took it upon ourselves to inquire, so we deserve to be angry, right?" ”

Liu Yang's head lowered and he muttered, "I didn't!" ”

Lin Xiaowan suddenly understood a little bit what it meant to be useless and a scholar. Too many people are like Liu Yang, except for the sour smell of his body, which is an extremely unproductive posture.

Being wronged is the injustice of the world, and being unable to defend it is the absurdity of others.

As everyone knows, it's just that I'm cowardly and incompetent.

Liu stopped Lin Xiaowan and said, "Okay, Xiaowan, Yangyang doesn't want to cause trouble for us." Now let's think about what to do. ”

If you don't know, it's over. But now that we all know, we can't still do what it didn't happen.

Lin Xiaowan sighed: "I'll go to them tomorrow and ask for an explanation." ”

Liu frowned: "Who are they, you also heard about them just now, we ordinary people, what do you want to say?" ”
