"On the side of Uncle Long's stove, your third uncle happened to find some white powder, I thought that your Uncle Long was reluctant to eat a meal of white rice and white noodles in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and felt suspicious, so I asked your third uncle to collect it and take it to Guo Langzhong for inspection."

White powder?

Zhang Jiuxin held the old village chief's hand tightly: "What did Guo Langzhong find?" ”

The old village chief's eyes narrowed slightly: "When Guo Langzhong was young, he was a man who walked the alleys of the village to practice medicine, and he was well-informed, and he knew that the white powder was a medicine made of mandala flowers - Menghan medicine!" ”

"This medicine is colorless and odorless, once taken, it does not take half an hour of effort, the user is in a comatose state, and there is no memory within the time of effect!"

Zhang Jiuxin was shocked.

No wonder Uncle Long didn't notice anything abnormal about the disappearance of the blind mother-in-law and the fact that she was finally hung on the verandah of the ancestral hall, it turned out that she had been drugged!

"With clues, I don't have to worry about finding out who is behind the scenes, and for the rest, I will send someone to continue to investigate."

The old village chief touched Zhang Jiuxin's head with a loving face:

"Xiao Jiu, your task is to take care of your body, read well, those trivial things, just let us do it, when the time comes, grandpa will give you an answer."

"Yes"

Zhang Jiuxin's heart was warm, and he sent the old village chief a ride, and when he returned home, he saw a big red figure under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village from a distance, looking at his figure, a bit like the second aunt Du.

"Du Shi is not staying in Dujia Village, why are you here?"

Zhang Jiuxin saw that Du Shi just stayed under the banyan tree and stretched his neck to visit the direction of the county seat, and walked back and forth, and found nothing else, so he ignored it and turned home.

......

Under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

When Du Shi, who was looking forward to it, saw the turn of the road and walked out of a young man wearing a straight shirt and a scarf on his head, he immediately cried and ran up:

"My son~, my mother can wait for you to come back."

The boy is Zhang Liuxin, who is studying in a private school in the county seat in the second room of the Zhang family.

"Mother! How did you run back? ”

Zhang Liuxin held Du Shi, looked back and forth, and when he found that there was no one, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Du Shi's hands covered with chilblains, his heart ached:

"Mother, did my aunt let you work day and night again?"

Before Zhang Liuxin's words fell, Du Shi cried bitterly:

"Son, your eldest aunt is a black-hearted woman, when my mother was not married, she let me get up early and work late like an animal, and now I ...... Nowadays......"

Du Shi cried even more sadly: "Now she said that I was driven back by my in-laws, and let your cousin and cousin say that their relatives were implicated, and they changed their tricks and insulted me in every way." Mother, I really can't live a day anymore, woo woo woo....... If..... If it weren't for you, my mother would have hanged herself on the crooked neck tree in front of your grandfather's house with a trouser belt, woo woo woo woo ......"

Du Shi was really sad, crying a handful of snot and tears.

"Mother, it's all the son who is useless and makes you suffer." Zhang Liuxin clenched his fists.

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that his son's face was full of self-blame, Du Shi immediately stopped crying and felt distressed: "My mother can have a son like you, which is the proudest thing in my mother's life." ”

"Mother...... Mother is just aggrieved for a while, son, don't think about it, when your grandfather is angry, my mother will find a chance to go back, you study hard, don't worry about your mother. ”

Du Shi shrank and hid his swollen hand like a pig's trotter behind him: "Besides, with your grandfather and brother-in-law protecting your mother, no matter how powerful your aunt is, she doesn't dare to do anything to me." Mother has such a wonderful son of you to remember, mother is not afraid of anything, mother just wants you to panic, when I think of separating you for a long time in the future, my mother is ....... It's like a knife cut."

"So is my son." Zhang Liuxin lowered his head and said sullenly.

Seeing that his son's expression was still low, Du Shi hurriedly changed the topic: "Good son, how are you doing in the school, last time you said that you had an awkward quarrel with your classmates, but the two were reconciled?" ”

Du Shi carried Zhang Liuxin's bookcase behind him, and his shoulders sank:

"Oh, why is this book box so heavy?"

"Our master is going back to his hometown, so this year we will have an early holiday for the New Year."

Zhang Liuxin explained casually, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Du Shi categorically: "Mother, if you endure it at your grandfather's house for a few more days, I will definitely find a way to bring you back as soon as possible." ”

......

As soon as Zhang Jiuxin entered the courtyard, he heard Qian's crying from the upper room, and the bolt that was fetching water next to the well immediately greeted him, and said: "Xiao Jiu, as soon as you left, the upper room was in trouble, and I don't know what the village chief said to the old man?" ”

Zhang Jiuxin glanced at the contract in his arms to the bolt, and the bolt rubbed his hands with joy, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden:

"Great, this ....... This is equivalent to splitting up the family! ”

"There is another good thing" Zhang Jiuxin whispered: "Brother Bolt, didn't you say that the "Tongzi Great Success Method" only has methods, no moves? The village chief said that grandpa had promised to teach you fist and foot exercises. ”

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Xiao Jiu, you are too powerful, two great things in the big house at once, no wonder Grandma Qian is making a fuss." The bolt was so happy that he was about to start dancing.

......

Upper room.

Qian leaned on the bed, his eyes crying like rotten peaches:

"What kind of economic independence, that little nine is clearly a disguised separation!"

"Old man! Since ancient times, my parents have not separated from each other, and our two old guys are still alive and well, if this is spread out, it will not be a shame for our Zhang family. ”

"Old man, this is absolutely not going to work!"

The old man was annoyed by crying, and suddenly stood up from the six-drum round stool in front of the bed: "I'm here, and I'm just telling you, no matter how much Xiao Jiu earns in the future, you, and everyone in our Zhang family, can't reach out to him to ask for a penny, he has the backbone to earn money and study by himself at a young age, it's better than anything else!" ”

"What the hell, that's all fart. Old man! Xiao Jiu, what trick does he want to sing, don't you really have a little score in your heart? ”

The lifeblood of the money of everyone in the Zhang family has always been in the hands of the Qian family, how could she be willing to let go of Zhang Jiuxin, a fish that slipped through the net, and when she saw the old man walking out, she slapped the head of the bed loudly, and her voice was hoarse:

"He is clearly going to reach out to his grandmother Songmu'an in disguise in the name of independence!"

The old man was stunned.

Zhang Jiuxin, who was eavesdropping outside the window, didn't care much, and walked into the upper room quickly, and the old man glanced at Zhang Jiuxin, as if he was thinking about something.

Last time, the old man emphasized that no one in the Zhang family could touch a penny of Grandma Songmu'an's dowry.

Qian's words are the taboo of the old man, but Zhang Jiuxin will let the hard-won economic independence be lost in vain.

Zhang Jiuxin directly raised the three fingers of his right hand and said solemnly:

"Grandpa, I have never had the idea of touching my grandmother's dowry, I can swear to God here, if there is, then I will not die a good death!"

"Nonsense!"

The old man's face changed: "You are the only son of our Zhang family, and you are shouldering the inheritance of incense in one room, how can you easily swear by your life and death!" ”

Although the old man was angry, his eyes looked at Zhang Jiuxin with more relief: "What you have in your body is my Zhang Shigui's blood, you said that you want to be independent on your own, and grandpa naturally believes in you." ”

The old man glanced at Qian coldly.

Qian didn't expect Zhang Jiuxin to dare to swear by his life, but he didn't expect it. Her lips quirmed, trying to say something.

Zhang Jiuxin took the first step to speak:

"Grandma Qian, even if my own grandmother is willing to give me money to spend, it is human nature, why are you so excited, isn't it that you already regard my grandmother's dowry as something in your pocket?!"

I see!

The old man suddenly turned around, met the panicked eyes of Shang Qian, and said lukewarmly: "It seems that you are really sick!" ”

Qian was completely panicked.

"Old man! Not so, you ....... Listen to me........ cough cough cough ......."

Before Qian finished speaking, the old man walked out of the house, Zhang Jiuxin snorted coldly, and followed out of the house.

"Zhang Jiuxin, you short-lived ghost, you ...... You ......."

Qian was suddenly angry and slammed a selfie in his chest, and he couldn't catch it in one breath, so he pouted again.

......

Zhang Jiuxin followed the old man to the living room, and the old man handed a gift box to Zhang Jiuxin and said:

"This is the four treasures of your study given to you by your village chief's grandfather, when your deceased uncle relied on Xiucai, he used this set, and the old village chief was willing to cut his love, obviously he valued you very much."

When Zhang Jiuxin heard this, he immediately felt that the four treasures of the study room in his hand were heavy.

"Originally, I said that I would go to school when you have your body well, but since you have such ambition, then grandpa, I won't say anything anymore."

The old man asked Zhang Jiuxin to wait, turned around and entered the room, and when he reappeared, he had a small box in his hand.
