Chapter 80: To Each His Own
Wu Laosan rolled all over the ground and cried, "I've beaten someone to death, I've killed someone, I'm going to sue the official..."
Sister-in-law Zhang snorted fiercely and scolded, "If you want to go, go quickly, it just so happens that the official is here, and I will sue you for stealing chickens and touching dogs on weekdays, and doing all kinds of evil." As she spoke, she struggled again, trying to step forward and continue to tickle him.
Wu Laosan was so frightened that he even crawled and hid next to Zhang Dahu, who was also embarrassed, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood beads on his head, and cried, "Master Zhang, the little one is kind, leading you to talk about business, what Cheng wants to meet are such shrews, Master Zhang, these people are tenants of the fields in your house, and they are favored by the lord, and now they don't miss the old love at all, and they want to kill us..."
Zhang Dahe was not far from him, and when he heard that he was provoking again, he stretched out his foot and was about to kick him, but he was stopped by Rui Xue's look.
Wu Laosan was also so angry that he didn't do him any benefit at all when he spoke like this, but stood on the opposite side of the whole village, putting an ungrateful hat on everyone.
Zhang Dahu is surrounded by a group of slaves on weekdays, surrounded by beautiful concubines and maids, he has never suffered such a crime today, he is already so angry that he is too tired, and he is panting unevenly, at this time, he just rested better and listened to Wu Laosan say this, and immediately slapped the ground and scolded fiercely, "You dog slaves, in vain I am so kind on weekdays, and the tenant field is planted for you, you are not even as good as a wolf-hearted beast, and you dare to beat this master by hand, you all wait to go to prison." ”
Sure enough, several clan elders and Li Zheng all blackened their faces, what is grace and what does it mean not to miss the old love?
The Zhang family took advantage of the disaster of the whole village, at a very low price, bought those paddy fields back, the village people only had a very small amount of dry land left to make a living, otherwise today's life would not be so hard, these years, tenants of the Zhang family's paddy fields to plant, to pay a very high rent, tired for a year, so that there is no surplus of one or two buckets of brown rice, and the Zhang family to do work for nothing?
Speaking carefully, the Zhang family has only grudges with the village, how can there be kindness?
Li Zhengqing coughed twice, completely dispelled the idea of stepping forward to help Zhang Dahu, turned his head and asked, Xu Kuan and the others, who were holding the two small servants of the Zhang family, "Who are you?" Let's let go of the Zhang family's slaves first, everyone is here, and they can understand anything. ”
Xu Kuan nodded, signaled the brother behind him to release him, and the two little guys immediately ran to Zhang Dahu's side, this one reached out to help, and the other slapped the muddy water, trying their best to please, wanting the master to forget the mistake of their untimely rescue just now.
Xu Kuan didn't pay attention to these, and bowed to Li Zheng and the others, and said, "Several of us are all working on the dock, and we have to take care of the Zhao family's sisters on weekdays. Unexpectedly, when these people were talking lightly, the Zhao family's sisters, and even called two slaves to come forward and want to arrest people, so they came to help. I think of my Peishui Gang, although I am from a poor background, but fortunately, there are also 200 brothers, and I can't watch this person bully our sister! ”
Li Zheng frowned, he only heard that Zhao Niangzi's shop had a good business on weekdays, but he didn't know that she was so respected by everyone at the dock. Although he doesn't want to see Zhang Dahu, but after all, he is still a little implicated, and he can't say that he wants to turn big things into small things and small things, these people are here, in case there is a place where Zhao Niangzi is wronged, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say.
He bowed back and said in a deep voice, "Then thank you brothers for your help, but after all, this is our Yunjia Village's business, and outsiders are not good at interfering, so it is better for the brothers to go back to the dock today." With Shanzi at home, tomorrow he will tell everyone what happened. ”
Ma Lao Liu's temper is the hottest on weekdays, but it is rare to be coarse and fine, thinking of Li Zheng in their village, when the villagers have disputes, they often say this, but every time in the end, it is the party with few people present who suffers, so he immediately retorted, "Brother Li Zheng, this is disgusting our brother is an eyesore." Our brother doesn't want to be disgusted, but the brother-in-law of the Zhao family has just been bedridden, and someone in the village has led the wicked to the door, our brother is really not at ease, afraid that if we go, the sister will not only suffer the grievances of outsiders, but also stay for a while, and listen more for her, how the eldest brother and the clan elder can give her justice. ”
Xu Kuan pretended to be angry and scolded, "What did the second brother say, how could he be so reckless, I often heard people say that this is a radius of dozens of miles, and the Lizheng of Yunjia Village is the most fair in doing things on weekdays. ”
Li Zheng suffered a loss by their left sentence, and there was a fair sentence, and it was not good to drive them away, so he stiffened his face and said reluctantly, "The brothers have praised it falsely, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are from our village, and the villagers naturally can't let them be wronged." ”
Xu Kuan smiled slightly, took the lead and took two steps back, saying that he would not do it again, but just watch from the wall.
Li Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and looked at each other like several clan elders, so he asked Rui Xue, "Zhao Niangzi, why is today's incident so troublesome?" ”
Rui Xue stretched out her hand and stroked her hair simply, as if she was desperately holding on, unwilling to cry, pointed to Wu Laosan and said, "A few years ago, this Wu Laosan came to the door when I was not at home and lobbied for this big family to buy a shop on the dock. The villagers all know that Mr. is not in good health, can not farm, can not do hard work, teach children to read on weekdays, take a few hundred Wen a month, and often feel uneasy, our family of two to eat and dress, Mr. has to make up for the body, how can it be enough to live? If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have opened a shop at the dock, and the income of the shop would be our family's livelihood. Mr. naturally didn't want to sell, but this Wu Laosan actually scolded Mr. for not knowing when he died of illness, leaving me as a widow, and the shop was cheaper than others, so he was so angry that Mr. vomited blood, leaving the root of the disease, otherwise Mr. couldn't suddenly fall ill the day before yesterday. This pig and dog are not as good as the beast, as soon as I heard that Mr. was sick, I was not ashamed at all, and I attracted outsiders to the door, this old man said that he wanted to buy a shop, make a coffin for Mr., and said that he would accept me into the house as a concubine, and even Brother Yu would not let go..."
Rui Xue said it neatly before, but then she seemed to be too aggrieved and sad, and couldn't help crying loudly, everyone knew that she took care of her husband and supported the family's livelihood, she was the kind of extremely strong woman, and suddenly cried like this, this heart, I felt very sour, thinking about the behavior of the Zhao family husband and wife on weekdays, Mr. Zhao has not gone today, and he was bullied like this, it is really unreasonable.
The clan elders and the Li Zheng also had ugly faces, after all, the Zhao family still lives in the village, and this big family doesn't take a village of people in their eyes too much.
Zhang Dahu had already struggled to stand up at this time, leaned on the little guy, stretched out his fat fingers, pointed at Rui Xue and scolded angrily, "You shrew who doesn't know how to lift, my lord, I fancy you, it's your luck, when your sick seedlings die tomorrow, your shop will have to be taken away by the government, and whatever tofu you sell, you have to be sold as a slave!" ”
The clan elder and Li were listening to his shouting, and his face became darker, but the last sentence, the three words "selling tofu", made them all stunned, and then looked at each other, all of them were a little strange. They only cared about worrying, Mr. Zhao went, where to find Mr. for the schoolchildren in the village, but forgot that there was a big fortune in front of him, that day Zhao Niangzi made tofu out, they had come to the door to ask the Zhao family to hand over the recipe to the village, so that everyone could add some input, but unfortunately, Mr. Zhao was extremely tough, hinting that he wanted to resign from Mr. Xuetang, and they had to extinguish this thought.
Now that Mr. Zhao is seriously ill and dying, he will definitely not be able to teach the schoolchildren, they have no scruples, and the shop on the dock and the recipe for making tofu are better handed over to the village than cheap outsiders. How to say, the villagers are also kind to the Zhao family and their husbands.
Thinking like this, Li Zheng's voice became cold, looked at Zhang Dahu, and said, "Master Zhang, please go back." ”
Zhang Dahu was still scolding Rui Xue screaming, "When you cry and beg to my door, this matter is not over today, you wait for the government to come, maybe, you will die more than your sick seedling!" ”
Wu Yu hated so much that he wanted to get a broom again, but he was stopped by Rui Xue, bowed his head and pretended to wipe his tears, and whispered a few words in his ear, Wu Yu's eyes immediately burst out of a bright light, nodded slightly, and when everyone was looking at Zhang Dahu, he hid outside the courtyard gate, Da Zhuang saw it, and quietly followed...
Li Zheng heard Zhang Dahu's scolding, he was impatient, and interrupted loudly, "Master Zhang, if you want to sue the official, just go and sue, our Yunjia Village is not easy to bully, the villagers present today and the few brothers who rushed to the dock, everyone can testify, you come to the door to bully first, and your intentions are wrong, even if you go to the court, the city lord will not be biased with you." However, your Zhang family still has 100 acres of paddy fields outside our village, so you have to send someone to take good care of it. ”
"You..." Zhang Dahu was so angry that his eyes were rounder than a cow, "What a group of dog minions, they actually dare to threaten the master, you wait..." He didn't want to scold again, but the villagers who were angered by the dog minions had already clenched their fists, as if they were going to rush up at any time, he was a little afraid in his heart, and threw down two sentences, "You wait, you will regret it!" ”
Then he staggered out with the little servant, but at this time Ruixue opened his mouth, "Master Zhang, please stay!" ”
Everyone was stunned, I don't know why she wanted to keep people, but Zhang Dahu thought that she had suddenly changed her mind, and glanced up and down a few times with a sneer, "What, Mrs. Zhao wants to go back to the house with Master Ben!" ”
Rui Xue sneered, "Master Zhang misunderstood, I saved a monk when I was a child, and I learned a few days of easy arts, today Master Zhang behaved like this, I didn't want to say much, but you are the only one who loses virtue, and the punishment is too heavy if it affects the whole family, so I reminded a few words." Master Zhang's Yintang is black, there is a hidden evil air circulation, there will be a big disaster in a few days, the light is broken bones, the heavy is killed, the wealth is broken within a year, and the family is broken within three years. If you do more good deeds, maybe there will be a turnaround, such as... Hum! ”
Her voice was crisp and cold, and it was very clear in the silent courtyard, and the words were all about life, wealth, and family, and everyone felt that they couldn't help but feel cold, and Master Zhang was even more pale, and flicked his sleeves fiercely, "What nonsense!" ”
Rui Xue smiled faintly, "Today, I don't care about my past suspicions, I will tell each other, it's okay if Master Zhang is not grateful, but if you do evil things again, you will get evil results, don't regret it!" ”
