Chapter 21: Into the Town
Widow Lin was furious, and she had to go to Ma Qin and his wife to ask for an explanation. Jiao Niang finally grabbed Widow Lin.
As a result, after a while, Ma Fu ran over, saying that his father and mother forgot to take the ladder, and he came to Xin's house to get the ladder. was beaten by the widow Lin with a broom and fled.
After a while, the Ma family also started to buy and sell vermicelli, and the price was lower than that of the Xin family. Fortunately, the Ma family's vermicelli was sold in the market and did not have any impact on the Xin family.
On this day, Xin Ping went to Tongfu Building to deliver vermicelli and peach blossom stuff, and Boss Tong actually rewarded Xin Ping with an extra 100 yuan.
"You don't know that the golden shopkeeper of Qingyuju bought the Ma family's vermicelli cheaply. As a result, the guests said that the taste was not good. "The sworn enemy of the shopkeeper Tong is the golden shopkeeper of Qingyuju, as long as he can press the gold shopkeeper, the shopkeeper Tong will be very happy.
The Ma family's vermicelli didn't know what steps were wrong, it was unpalatable and toothy. Many people who are greedy for cheap buy go to the market to find Ma Zhu's return, and the angry Ma Zhu's quarrel with them, and no one is willing to buy Ma's noodles now, and this business has been yellow in a few days.
At the same time, Panyun Village began to lose seedlings again, and it intensified. Many outsiders come in groups to dig up seedlings, and sometimes they even grab them directly. Li Zheng sent someone to report to the government, but there was no news. Although the villagers of Panyun Village tried their best to stop it, they were outnumbered, and many people simply did not replant and let others dig up seedlings.
The careful Xin Ping found that there have been more and more displaced people in Panyun Village recently, and there are still cases of displaced people breaking into people's houses from time to time. It seems that Panyun Village is not very safe anymore.
After discussing with Jiao Niang and the mother and daughter of the Lin family, Xin Pintuo Tong helped the shopkeeper and rented a house in the town. This house is located not far from the county office, with the gate facing the street. Inside is a spacious front yard with three large rooms, a kitchen, a firewood room and a small backyard.
And what Xin Ping is most satisfied with is that the front and back courtyard walls are made of stone bricks. It looks safer than the Xin family's house in Panyun Village.
Looking for a sunny day, Xin Ping rented a carriage from the town and made three trips back and forth. In addition to the large pieces of furniture that could not be taken away, Jiao Niang dug up all the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden, wrapped the roots with soil, and put them in a basket to pack and take them away. Widow Lin was even more exaggerated, and she also sold the leftover firewood from the kitchen to people in the same village.
They all knew that once they left Panyun Village, it would be difficult to come back.
When he arrived at the new house, looking at the lively street, Xiao Xin'an clapped his hands happily, he still slept with his mother. Xin Ping slept in one room, and Lin's mother and daughter slept in another. The family's big yellow dog sleeps in the hall. The sheep they brought were placed in the firewood house. The small days of the Xin family officially began in Luoxi Town.
Although Luoxi Town is a town, it extends in all directions and is a relatively important transportation hub in Dingcheng. Therefore, there are more things to sell, and some daily things can basically be bought in Luoxi Town.
On the second day of living in Luoxi Town, Jiao Niang and the mother and daughter of the Lin family went out shopping and shopping. A few people turned around, and Widow Lin whispered to Jiao Niang: "The things in this town are much more expensive than in our village. I think I can also come and sell vegetables at the stall. ”
Jiao Niang smiled: "I have an idea, it's much better than selling vegetables." When we get home, we'll add it up. ”
After buying a lot of things, a few people went home. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the alley, I saw a group of people giggling and laughing.
The girls leaned over to see that it was actually a woman beating a man with wattles. The man was pressed to the ground by several strong men, unable to move. He also scolded in his mouth: "Fierce woman! I'm going to divorce you. ”
The woman didn't mean to stop at all, but became more and more fierce as she hit: "Wow, take me off." But before I am divorced, I will finish this evil breath in my heart. Zhang Erlang, I have been doing housework for you for many years, and in the end, you have to spend all your savings to buy a fireworks girl. ”
That Zhang Erlang still said stiffly: "I and Yanniang are true love!" You don't serve your in-laws, you don't serve your husband. Yan Niang is gentle and virtuous, I will marry her back to be a child, and I can still serve you, you are still a good lady, what do you have to make trouble! ”
The woman smiled with tears, and shook the thorn in her hand harder: "You actually said that a prostitute is virtuous." Zhang Erlang, today our husband and wife relationship has been broken. This house is the dowry given to me by my Bai family, and you move out with your father and mother. The deed of sale of that Yan Niang is now in my hands, do you say you want a pair of children or your Yan Niang? ”
Zhang Erlang roared: "Bai Huiniang, you vicious woman. My father and mother are old, should you dare to toss them? and to break me apart and my flesh and bones. You are so vicious! ”
Bai Huiniang threw away the thorn strip in her hand, squatted on the ground and held Zhang Erlang's embarrassed face and said softly: "Then Erlang, I'll send your Yanniang to the lowest kiln?" ”
Zhang Erlang closed his eyes in pain: "I, I will take my father and mother and Yanniang back to their hometown in Pingcun." The child will suffer with me, so I'll leave it to you. ”
Bai Huiniang asked people to take a pen and paper with an expressionless face, and Zhang Erlang crawled on the ground to write and leave the book. After pressing the handprint, Bai Huiniang took a closer look and carefully put the book in her arms. This made people let go of Zhang Erlang.
A few strong men ran into Bai's house again and threw out the things that Bai Huiniang had packed up a long time ago. also put the two old men out, and Zhang Erlang's parents cried and grabbed the ground, and others couldn't bear to see it.
Someone persuaded: "Family and everything is prosperous, Mrs. Zhang should be magnanimous!" ”
Bai Huiniang didn't speak, and one of the strong men said in a rough voice: "Where did you come from, bastard, so unreasonable?" The man did not dare to speak again.
Zhang Erlang stood up and looked at Bai Huiniang: "What about Yan Niang's deed of sale?" ”
Bai Huiniang smiled and asked someone to bring Yanniang out. Zhang Erlang was very excited when he saw Yan Niang, and shouted: "Yan Niang, have they done anything to you?" ”
The Yan Niang shook her head with tears in her eyes, and Bai Huiniang personally threw a piece of paper and a purse to Yan Niang: "Your deed of sale and fifty taels of silver." You are free, you can go with Zhang Erlang. ”
Yan Niang was ecstatic to open the deed of sale, and looked at it, and directly tore the deed of sale to pieces. Zhang Erlang also smiled: "Yanniang, let's go!" ”
Who knew that the Yan Niang took away the pitiful attitude and said with a smile: "Go?" Go to the village with you? Zhang Erlang, I'm a free person now. I'll be better off wherever I go than with you. ”
Bai Huiniang said softly: "Yan Niang has a lover, and the two of them are in love. It's that there is no money to redeem himself......"
Zhang Erlang woke up like a dream at this time, chasing Yanniang to beat her. The Bai family didn't care, and they all went back to their homes, and the door was closed.
The onlookers were amazed, saying that Bai Huiniang was too strong and not virtuous.
Jiao Niang said: "Bai Huiniang is a heroine among women and a model for women." Why should a man hug left and right, and a woman have to endure all this? If you want me to say, Bai Huiniang didn't do it hard enough. ”
The onlookers all cast strange glances at Jiao Niang, and even Widow Lin covered her mouth to prevent her from saying any more: "My little ancestor, don't say it again." Be careful not to get married. ”
Jiao Niang rolled her eyes helplessly. Let her marry someone like Zhang Erlang, she would rather never marry for the rest of her life.
