Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sleepless Night
Mrs. Zheng was in a coma at the moment, when Sister Li Yue just entered, she saw Mrs. Zheng fall under the stairs in the wooden building, obviously seeing the fire and hurriedly going downstairs, but she couldn't see the way with smoke, stepped on the air, rolled down the stairs, and fainted under the stairs, after all, she was old and her legs were not dexterous.
At this time, Zheng Si came over with Tie Li, Tie Han, and Tie Gui brothers.
The Zheng family's big house is basically staying in Tongzhou now, Zheng Dian followed the second master as an errand boy, and most of the time he was not in Liuwa, and today Zheng Tu, the second room of the Zheng family, took Zheng Tiezhu to Shilibu to collect pigs, and he was not there tonight.
Therefore, when such a big thing happens, Zheng Si is presiding.
At this time, Zheng Si saw Sister Li Yue's back, and Mrs. Zheng clenched her teeth, so she shouted anxiously: "Xu Langzhong, what about Xu Langzhong?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." When the fire broke out, Xu Langzhong came over with a medicine box on his back, because he was afraid that there would be damage in the fire and could save him in time.
Several people put Mrs. Zheng on a bamboo bed in the courtyard, Xu Langzhong flipped over to rescue, and poured a bowl of awakening soup, after a while, Mrs. Zheng opened her eyes, and all the people around also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm fine, there is such a fire at home, you go and clean it up, don't worry about the wooden building in the back, wait for the boy to come back and let him clean up by himself, after all, there are many utensils used by his father and mother before his death, and that is also his thoughts." After a while, Mrs. Zheng gasped and ordered, and her eyes closed again.
"Granny, granny." Mrs. Zheng Tu also squeezed over from the crowd at this time, and saw Mrs. Zheng like this at this time. Startled again, he hurriedly called out to her.
"Don't bother her, she's frightened, let her rest. Don't bother anyone, it'll be fine when you're calm, but. Her leg fell, and she was estimated to be in bed for a few months, but it was a hard disease, as long as she was patient and recuperated, that is, it was a matter of time. On the other hand, Xu Langzhong comforted.
The Zheng family was completely relieved, and Sister Li Yue also put down a heart she was carrying, no matter what. Mrs. Zheng's fate was saved.
So Zheng Si took Tie Li, Tie Han, and Tie Gui, and carried the bamboo bed to temporarily place Mrs. Zheng in the east house. The daughter-in-law who left the iron plough and the iron man took care of Mrs. Zheng in the house, and the others came out and continued to put out the fire, and the fire in the north house was still burning.
"Don't stop me. I'm going in, I'm going to be in. Zheng Siniang's whole person seemed to be crazy, if it weren't for a few people pulling her, she might have thrown herself into the fire at this time.
"It's all like this, what are you still making trouble, if you want to die, you can die." Zheng Si came over and yelled at his wife, because of the recent accident of loan sharking, he has been suppressing the anger in his heart, plus the fire tonight. I'm afraid that the way on the old lady's side is also broken, and the anger is even greater, and at this time, seeing that my wife is still making a fool of herself here, I will be angry and attack her.
Zheng Siniang called her father-in-law to have a seizure, and she also knew that her own affairs could not be revealed, so she had to endure and calm down. Just looking at the sky-high fire, the corners of the mouth, the corners of the eyes trembled, and the heart hurt like being scraped by a knife, goddamn, this is her only way, she is still thinking of a way to save the emergency with the old lady these days, this damn, goddamn fire.
"I said the fourth and fourth daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you watched the old lady go out? It hurt us to look outside, but the old lady was in the wooden building behind, and almost called the fire to burn to death, don't you hurt people? When the boss returns, you will confess to him. At this time, Zheng Tu patted her chest and said, today's matter, when the boss comes back, she will have to pause, she will clear it up first.
"The second sister-in-law wants to shirk her responsibility, just say it, don't make such and such excuses, it's hot tonight, and the old lady said that the iron man's daughter-in-law also heard it when she went out for a walk, and she can only say that this is a mistake, even if the boss comes back, I can also say it confidently." Zheng Siniang finally calmed down this time, and the words made Zheng Tu Niangzi take the letter and reply to her mouth.
"Okay, what's the noise, tell people to see jokes." Zheng Si interrupted the argument between the two.
The crowd continued to put out the fire. After a while, the fire was finally extinguished, but the north house was also burning.
The next thing is none of anyone else's business, and the Zheng family will clean it up by themselves.
The people in the town walked to the wheat field with pots and buckets in twos and threes, and Sister Li Yue led Yuejiao and Grandma Tian to follow behind everyone.
Grandma Tian also saw the fire coming, Yuejiao, who was not worried, had to come to join in the fun, and when she arrived at Zheng's house, she happened to meet Sister Li Yue, and she happened to go home together at this time, as for Mo Yi, after the fire was saved, he still had to take someone to transport the water dragon back to the yamen, and he would go home later.
"This Zheng family is really confused, no one knows that the old lady is in the wooden building, and she is still trying to save the fire in the north house, if it weren't for Sister Li Yue finding that the door of the wooden building was closed from the inside, she wouldn't know that someone was inside." It was Tailor Yao who spoke, he was drenched, and he was not in a hurry to go back to the melon shed, and followed everyone all the way home to change his clothes.
"No, it's also Mrs. Zheng's fate." There is a way of harmony on the side.
"It's no wonder that the Zheng family is confused, the wooden building of the Zheng family is very old, it was going to be demolished and rebuilt, just because it was allocated to the Zheng family's three rooms, Zheng Dian is still young, and he lives in the north house with the old lady on weekdays, the old lady said, when the boy is old enough to marry his daughter-in-law, he will tear down the wooden building and rebuild it, and make a new house for the boy boy, so it has not moved all these years, and it is used to pile up sundries on weekdays, who knows that Mrs. Zheng will run there alone? After all, the North House is Mrs. Zheng's residence, and many of the Zheng family's properties are placed in the North House, so they must save the North House first. "On the other hand, the Liu family is a few people. The Liu family is the in-laws of Zheng Tu's mother, and Liu Yinzhu often follows Mrs. Zheng now, so she is very clear about the affairs of the Zheng family.
"That's just as well." The crowd nodded.
"Everyone, go home, and then check your own fire, it's a dry day, and the damage from the fire will be great." The husband on one side did not forget to remind everyone.
"Yes, yes, hurry home and check it out." On the other hand, there are people who respond.
"You say. How big is the Zheng family's loss this time? I see that Zheng Siniang collapsed on the ground, and it is estimated that the loss will not be less. "It's the chattering flower matchmaker who speaks.
"That loss is big in the eyes of outsiders, but now Zheng Da has climbed the big tree of the Cao Gang. Zheng Er has another business of killing pigs, and Zheng Dian's kid is even more terrible, following the big man in Beijing on an errand. Even if you lose a lot, you can afford it. Zhen Zongjia said.
"Zheng Da and Zheng Er are the ones who lost it, but the four rooms of the Zheng family can't afford to lose." At this time, there was humanity in the crowd again.
"What do you mean by that? It burned the north house where the old lady lived, and there was no loss in the four rooms of the Zheng family. Someone answered.
"I see, the old lady's north house is burning, and the other rooms don't matter, but the biggest impact is the Zheng family's fourth room. By the way, have you heard of the recent rumors, it is Li Shugen's family, Shugen's family deposited some of the family's silver deposit in the hands of the fourth lady of the Zheng family a year ago, and planned to save it for a year to get some interest to supplement the family. But his family wants to repair the house this year, so he wants to take out the silver in advance, but Zheng Siniang originally promised to do well, but when it came, she stopped doing it, saying that it was not due, and she had to follow the rules, and she had to return it to the Shugen family at the end of the year, so Li Shugen's family had no way. The matter of repairing the house was delayed, didn't she listen to her mother-in-law talking in the field every day? At this time, it was the Jia family who came to see the excitement who spoke, and when she was fighting the fire, she was also standing idly on the side, chatting with a few sisters-in-law in the town.
That's true. Since it is said that it is good to save for a year, it must be taken out again in a year, it seems that there is a lot of silver in the hands of Zheng Siniang in our town, and the low profit is also very good, which requires everyone to ignore the rules, and say that if you want to take it back, you will take it back, so how can Zheng Siniang make money there, and where does the money come from? "On one side of the town, the general of the road.
"That's right, but Zheng Si Niangzi promised the tree root family before, and it's not right to change the hexagram, then Zheng Si Niangzi, a few days ago, I entered Beijing in a panic, I heard that her partner had an accident, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but it's groundless, and then think about what happened to Li Shugen's family, I'm afraid that things are not far from ten. In fact, the reason why the people in our town dare to deposit the silver money in the fourth room of the Zheng family is not because of the money in Mrs. Zheng's hand. Hehe, I'm afraid that the money that everyone has in Zheng Siniang's place will be empty in a bamboo basket. Jia said in a tone of good play.
As soon as Sister Li Yue heard this, she sighed in her heart, sure enough, these two things are still called together, Jia's saying this at this time, that is adding fuel to the fire, the fourth room of the Zheng family is really going to fold in this time, to put it down, or Zheng Si's aunt is too greedy, when she was at the end of the year, she reminded her, Zheng Siniang blamed her for being troublesome, and it was Zheng Siniang who asked for it.
She had also heard about Li Shugen's family, and sighed that Zheng Siniang's eyes were shallow, and how much silver could she have with the existence of the Shugen family? She has her own situation, the more this situation is, the more generous she becomes, at least the grace comes out, and she can also stabilize people's hearts, right?
Now it's like this.
However, this is the Zheng family's business, she can't control it, and the only thing that makes her happy is that although Mrs. Zheng is a little injured, the doctor has already seen it and said that it is no big deal, just recuperate for a period of time, and the Zheng family, with Mrs. Zheng on top, no matter how chaotic it is, it should not be like in the previous life.
However, Sister Li Yue estimated that the Zheng family still scored.
Sister Li Yue thought, while Yuejiao shook her eldest sister's hand vigorously, Sister Li Yue turned her face to look at her, and this girl gave her eldest sister a thumbs up. At the end of the year, she also planned to deposit her private money with the fourth aunt of the Zheng family, but the eldest sister didn't let her save it, so she naturally praised her eldest sister's clever calculation.
Sister Li Yue patted her forehead angrily. Grandma Tian looked at the affectionate appearance of the two sisters, and smiled Mimi.
At this time, everyone was silent all the way, obviously thinking about Jia's words, and they all felt that Jia's words were reasonable, no one's money was blown by the wind, even if the Zheng family was in trouble, but they couldn't help but see their own losses ah, thinking, their own steps were speeding up, obviously wanting to go home quickly, and discuss with the family what to do with the money stored in Zheng Siniang's place, even if they didn't save it, but there were also savings among relatives and friends, and they should also be informed, Liu Wa is so big, and they are all relatives.
With this thought, after a while, the crowd dispersed.
A few people in the west house of the Li family also entered the house, Yue'e and Mo Feng and Yue Bao'er were still sitting in front of the hall, the Zheng family's people were panicked by the fire, and when they saw their eldest sister and her party coming back, they asked about the Zheng family's big house. A few people said as they waited for Mo Yi to wait for the door.
"Sister Yue'er, do you say that there is a problem with Zheng's fourth daughter-in-law?" Grandma Tian sat down and said, the old man was also very gossipy, and more importantly, because Grandma Tian was also quite able to talk to Mrs. Zheng on weekdays, so she naturally cared more at this time.
"I'm afraid it's true." Sister Li Yue nodded. Then I told me about Xi Niang's involvement in the empty house case.
"Since the boy was involved in the investigation of the empty case, he should know that Xi Niang was involved in the matter of her fourth aunt, why didn't he catch Xi Niang in advance to recover the loss?" Grandma Tian asked.
"The people behind Xi Niang are not small, someone is protecting her, I heard the boy say that the things involved are too big, the second master is afraid that it will be difficult to clean up later, after all, it is the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and there was a bribery case in the first year, if it is too much involved, I am afraid that it will not end well, the second master will turn a blind eye, and the Xi Niang is also hidden, there is no place to find, besides, the people in the town don't care what Xi Niang is not Xi Niang, naturally they are staring at Zheng Siniang and the Zheng family." Sister Li Yue said.
"Well, the Zheng family is in big trouble now." Tian Pozi nodded, and said with some worry.
"No matter how troublesome it is, it's not on Aunt Zheng's side. She also deserves it, if she had listened to my sister, there would have been no trouble. Bian Yuejiao wrinkled her nose and said.
"Also, when it comes to usury, this kind of thing is really untouchable, and it will either harm others or harm itself." Grandma Tian said.
Sister Li Yue naturally nodded in agreement.
As she was talking, Mo Yi came back, Sister Li Yue thought about the previous things, knowing that the people in the town were afraid that they would find the Zheng family tomorrow, thinking that since she was reborn, the Zheng family had also helped her a lot, many things in the river work, and now Mo Yi has been tied to the Zheng family, although this matter is mainly a matter of the Zheng family's four rooms, but it is also a matter of the Zheng family, one is not good, I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to clean up, thinking, Li Yue Sister asked Mo Yi to go to the Zheng family again, and tell the Zheng family about this matter, so that the Zheng family is somewhat prepared and will not be caught off guard.
And this night, many families in the town stayed up all night.
