Chapter 53: Don't mess around
Something happened to the Qiao family, a big deal!
The first to be tied up was Zhao Langzhong, and a group of officials pressed him to the ground and gagged him.
Qiao Kangcheng didn't have time to ask the reason, and I was gagged and cut my hands. When Aunt Wang saw that something was wrong, her heart and liver trembled.
She quietly stuffed the leading official with silver, and asked steadily, "Does the official know what happened?" My family does a little business, and it has always been a good life. ”
"Duty?"
The official spread his palms and let everyone see the silver ticket that Aunt Wang bribed him: "A woman also knows how to give and accept bribes, this is still called honesty and duty?" ”
Don't want the money to publicize the matter, it seems that this time it is not good, and Aunt Wang's legs are a little weak.
Before she could react, the official gave another order: "Find out all the ledgers and bring them back to the yamen." ”
Audit! Aunt Wang's heart trembled again.
Serious investigation, whose account can not be a little greasy? It's just that it's not greasy, and the thing has fallen into the hands of others, and it's not arranged by others?
She stopped the account room and prevented anyone from entering, and the official pushed her away. She was about to block, and the grumpy official kicked her in the waist, and Aunt Wang didn't stand still and fell to the ground, her forehead hit the leg of the chair, and the blood immediately gushed out.
But the servant didn't see it, and still went into the house to move the account book. Qiao Kangcheng and Zhao Langzhong were so anxious that they whimpered, but the official smashed his fist into their abdomen: "Be honest! ”
Aunt Wang tried her best, but neither the people nor the account books were saved.
She stood stunned, letting the blood on her head flow hard. She looked at the mess everywhere that was clean and tidy before, and the whole person was in a trance.
The account room and the little maid ran away with smoke, and Erya took advantage of no one to pay attention, grabbed a handful of mountain ginseng and hid it in her arms, and then secretly ran back.
After walking a long way, she was sure that the Qiao family's affairs could not be implicated in her, so she stopped and looked back this time.
From a distance, I can still see Aunt Wang's forehead dripping blood: "Usually you don't look at me with blue eyes, and I don't take advantage of you." So, I'm not ungrateful. ”
She took out the mountain parameters from her arms, and then slapped herself with a flat mouth: "What eyes?" I grabbed some defective products that were not old, and the box next door locked several old ginsengs that were more than 30 years old. It's really unproductive. ”
scolded herself, and Erya thought again: "Isn't the young lady of the Zhou family still inquiring about the Qiao family, if you sell the news, maybe you can earn some rewards?" ”
Thinking like this, she collected the ginseng and jumped into the county seat.
Star fruit waited at Zhao Langzhong's house for an afternoon, and finally did not wait for Zhao Langzhong to come back. She couldn't help but chuckle in her heart: Master has never been hanging out, why hasn't he come home today?
She had the heart to go to Qiao's pharmacy to have a look, but when she saw that the city gate was about to be closed, she could only give up.
When I went back the next day, there was still no one at home, and when I found Qiao's pharmacy, the door was also closed. Star fruit was very worried, and asked the surrounding shops about the situation, and when she figured out what was going on, her face began to turn white.
"It must be An Zhiyuan's bastard!"
Carambola was so angry that she wanted to find An Zhiyuan's theory, and walked to the door of An in anger, but calmed down again.
She is a little village girl, what can she do when she finds An Zhiyuan? Kneel down and beg him, kowtow to him and ask him to raise his noble hand? It's her star fruit that can go out, can An Zhiyuan stop there?
Let's wait for the yamen's statement, the Qiao family has always abided by the law, and the yamen has never judged too much.
Besides, this world is not the world of a family, if you really force people to have no way to live, then think of ways to break the net.
Star fruit went to Qiao's house, but was turned away.
Qiao Ping and Qiao An ran around to make a relationship, and Xia Na went back to her parents' house but let her father come out. She knelt at the door and cried bitterly, begging his father to see her and help her, but his father never came out.
The mother couldn't see it, hid in the house to wipe her tears, packed up some soft to send to Xia Na, Master Xia happened to bump into it, and snatched the burden and threw it on the ground: "Are you afraid that the An family will not settle with us, right?" Let An Zhiyuan deal with us like he did with the Qiao family, and you will be happy? ”
"But that's our daughter, she hasn't suffered since she was a child, and now she ......"
"Today's life is also self-inflicted." Master Xia stretched out his index finger and pointed at Mrs. Xia's nose: "Her kind of girl who has lost her innocence, how many lifetimes can she marry into the An family?" She refused, she had to do it, she would suffer what she had done, and don't come to trouble my Xia family. ”
"Old man......"
"I'm going to leave you here today, if you still want to be the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, forget about that girl who doesn't know what to do. If you dare to contact her privately, don't blame me for sweeping you away. ”
Mrs. Xia's body trembled, and she looked at Master Xia in disbelief with teary eyes.
"It's useless to stare at me, it took me a lot of effort to make Gongzi An understand the Xia family. You dare to stab Lou Zi for me, you give it a try! ”
He snorted coldly with his nostrils pointing to the sky, put his hands behind his back, and refused to leave.
Xia Na knelt down in the sunset, crying to death, and finally failed to enter the door of Xia's house. Mrs. Xia sent a maid out, but she brought heartless words: "The water spilled by the married daughter, in the future, we will have nothing to do, and we will not get along with each other in old age and death." ”
These words were sharper than knives, and they hurt her heart fiercely.
She stumbled on the way home, bumped into someone and didn't notice, and she didn't care if someone grabbed her collar and scolded her.
Carambola couldn't knock on the door of Qiao's house and had no choice but to return. Bumped into Xia Na being pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded, she walked over and protected Xia Na behind her.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong? I didn't even say a word when I hit someone, does this make sense to hit someone? You see, my daughter's knees are broken, such a big piece. ”
Carambola hurriedly bandaged the child's wound, apologized and apologized, and it was easy to persuade the person to leave.
When she turned around after being busy, Xana was still standing on the spot, as if her soul was out of her body.
Star fruit was a little worried, and went over to look her shoulder up and down: "Are you okay?" Where did you not touch it? ”
Xia Na came back to her senses, she threw herself into the arms of the star fruit, and cried out loud: "Star fruit, did I do something wrong, should I go to An Zhiyuan as a concubine, should I die?" ”
"What is this talking about?"
Carambola pushed her away, put her shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "Isn't it okay to solve things when you encounter something, it's useful to say these frustrating words?" Isn't what people want to live in the world is a face and a life, if you say such things now, isn't it in vain to waste Qiao Ping's sincerity? ”
"But if it weren't for me, the Qiao family wouldn't have ......"
"Won't it be?" Carambola interrupted her strongly, and said in a very ironclad voice: "The government hasn't convicted the Qiao family yet, why are you in a hurry to scare yourself?" Even if the government decides the case, as long as it is a misjudgment and a grievance, there is really no place to reason in this world? ”
"Besides, are Qiao Ping and Qiao An children? When you decide to rebel against An Zhiyuan, don't you think you will be retaliated against? You take everything on your body, you are tired of not saying anything, and you have failed the efforts of others. ”
Xia Na was stunned by this, and her lips chatted for a long time without saying a word.
"Listen to me, don't complain, and don't give up on yourself. Something happened at home, Qiao Ping and Qiao An were busy running around, and Aunt Wang couldn't slow down for a while when she suddenly changed dramatically. At this time, the Qiao family needs you, take care of the things at home, don't mess up the family and scatter people's hearts. ”
Carambola reached out and took Xia Na into her arms and patted her on the back gently: "Difficulties are temporary, just get through it." Even if we lose a little money, we can earn it again. When you go back, you also persuade Aunt Wang, so that everyone must take care of their health. ”
Xana nodded in her arms, tears falling uncontrollably: "I know, I have to cheer up." As long as the people of the Qiao family are still there, the Qiao family will not be defeated. ”
"That's right."
Carambola sent Xia Na home, and Aunt Wang didn't let Carambola enter the house even if she opened the door: "My Qiao family will not entertain you sometimes." ”
"Mother, star fruit she ......"
Aunt Wang glared at Xia Na, her face visibly disgusted.
She didn't like Xia Na, if it weren't for this daughter-in-law entering the door, the Qiao family would not have such a disaster. She doesn't like star fruit even more, this girl is a white-eyed wolf, and she will take revenge alive.
How good it used to be, swearing that it wasn't interesting to her An'er. But as soon as he turned his head, he hooked An'er and didn't know the checkpoint, and he also provoked the two brothers to cause such a big disaster.
She's not going to collapse the Qiao family, isn't she?
At this time, star fruit didn't want to make Aunt Wang unhappy, so she hurriedly pulled Xia Na's sleeve, turned around neatly and left: "I still have some things at home, so I'll leave first." ”
Within two days, the Qiao family's affairs were spread everywhere. The people in the village are idle, good at chewing the root of the tongue, and even better at adding fuel and vinegar. It didn't take long for it to be rumored that the Qiao family was plotting rebellion and rebellion, and they would be exterminated by the imperial court immediately.
In this way, whoever saw Qiao's family was hiding, and even their relatives were closed to them, and they were even more busy running for fear of being implicated by Qiao Kangcheng's family.
Aunt Wang was so anxious that her mouth was full of bubbles, Qiao Ping and Qiao An threw the silver into the sea, but they broke their legs and didn't run out of the way.
Seeing that the silver deposit had been spent, Aunt Wang held the money box and wiped her tears: "Ming'er will take the shop out, no matter what you say, you will have to save your father." ”
Qiao Ping and Qiao An glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.
"It's not a big deal to redeem the shop, but I didn't even hear a sound when the silver was scattered."
"Just stuffed a lot of it for the officials, only saying that they were helping to take care of Daddy and Uncle Zhao, but they were not even allowed to visit. Who can tell if there is anything to do after receiving the money? ”
Aunt Wang also had no idea, and looked at Qiao An with a pair of bloodshot eyes: "Then what should I do?" You have to think of a way, right? ”
Qiao An habitually pursed her lips and secretly clenched her fists: "Don't worry, mother, I won't let Daddy and Uncle Zhao have anything to do." ”
"What do you want to do?" Aunt Wang stood up with a pout, and looked at Qiao An in fear: "The house is messy enough, you must not mess around." ”
