Chapter 142
"Sister-in-law, why is your face so ugly? What about the big brother? As he spoke, the sixth son stretched out his head and looked back, but he didn't see his eldest brother, so he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. [Full text reading. 】
The eldest brother is more precious than his sister-in-law, others don't know, but he is very clear. Even when it was in the barracks, a few people got together and said big things, and the eldest brother was reluctant to say a bad word about the sister-in-law, and he was not even allowed to make fun of others.
If it was normal times, it would be forgotten, but now the barracks have been given leave, and they are about to go to North Ridge, and they don't know when they will be able to come back. Normally, how can the eldest brother be willing to let his sister-in-law come to town alone, if he is fine, he will definitely hate to be tired of being with his sister-in-law every day.
Thinking of this, he was a little worried, seeing that his sister-in-law's face was so bad, let alone the two of them quarreled.
"It's okay, your eldest brother is at home, I'll deliver the goods in the shop." Lin Baozhu didn't want to be investigated, and she didn't want her sixth son to know that she ran away from home. However, looking at the concerned eyes of the child of the sixth son, she still smiled and said, "Why don't you hurry home and pick up, let your eldest brother see it, maybe I have to teach you a lesson again." ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Manchu can be said to be a son for his sixth son, and he usually worries a lot. Especially the sixth son has not been able to settle on a family affair, which makes Zhang Manhoard anxious for more than a day or two. You said that Liuzi is a good young man no matter how you say it, and he is a good boy all day long, obviously an upright teenager, and his unkempt appearance makes people feel out of tune.
For this matter, Zhang Manchu also trained him. However, every time after practice, Ma Yu'er, who was promised by the six sons, can be confused as soon as he turns around.
Seeing his sister-in-law teasing him, Liuzi scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and then said twice: "Isn't it okay for me to do it, a bastard boy in a few barracks who grabbed food had to pull me to play two."
"Alright, let's go back quickly, and have a good shower and rest. If you want me to say, you should find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and go back to marry a daughter-in-law, so that you are not afraid that others will pull you crazy for another night. ”
The two said a few words and then separated. And with the six sons to interrupt, Lin Baozhu is no longer wandering aimlessly. Thinking that even if the sixth son has no relatives in the town, he has his own yard, which can be regarded as a place to live.
After thinking about it, she simply thought about finding a quiet place to buy a small courtyard. The yard doesn't have to be much, as long as it is delicate and comfortable. On weekdays, she is very satisfied to have a place to taste tea and grow flowers.
Thinking so, she went to find the shopkeeper Xu of Anping Tea Shop. It's also a loss to the shopkeeper Xu who has been checking the goods in the shop in the town for the past few days, otherwise she really doesn't know who to ask for help. As for why he didn't find Liuzi, he naturally didn't want Zhang Manchu to know. I don't dare to say anything else, there are many shopkeepers in the tea shop in the town who have good friends with Zhang Ji, although they are all for the sake of doing business, but the big guy sells her face, but he may not give Zhang Manho much face.
You must know that not everyone is as ignorant as Zhang Yueniang, thinking that Zhang Ji is in charge of the name of the Zhang family. If it weren't for Lin Baozhu's craft of refining tea, Zhang Ji would have to close down in less than half a month.
The place in Anping Town, where Shopkeeper Xu is familiar, was begged by Lin Baozhu to the door, he naturally would not refuse. Seeing that Lin Baozhu was in a hurry, he simply informed the guy on the counter, and then went out to help find the bag for the sale of the house.
In fact, Lin Baozhu is not unable to go to the bag alone to inquire about the house, but now she is alone, and there is no one brave around her, and she still carries a few hundred taels of silver tickets and title deeds in the basket.
So even if she felt a little presumptuous, she came to the shopkeeper Xu.
The so-called money can make ghosts grind, not to mention, now Lin Baozhu doesn't want to care about money at all, let alone instigate himself. Except for a broken silver horn, the news she got was naturally extremely fast and extremely suitable, but in half an hour, the bag had already led her and the shopkeeper Xu to an alley at the west end of the town.
"This is Mao'er Alley, and it looks remote and uncrowded at this time, but around the row of houses in front of it is the town's market. Most of them are well-to-do people here, and most of them work outside to earn money on weekdays, so there are not many people living there. It is also because of the proximity to the market and the good environment, so the price is more expensive. On the other side of Stone Lane, although there are also people who sell houses, the origin of the people there is complicated, there are traders who go south and north, there are also people who open stores in the town, and there are people who drag their families to work nearby.
Lin Baozhu followed and took a look at the alley, it was indeed clean and tidy. Compared to the place where Xiuniang's sister-in-law rented before, it's not a little better.
The yard is decent, not too big, but it is exquisite. Xu was because she had asked for a small courtyard, so Bao inquired and helped find this place, which was a two-in, two-out house.
It may be that the original owner's family is also a particular person, and the courtyard road is paved with gray bricks, but there are two small flower beds in the corner of the wall. At this time, because no one took care of it, the flowers and plants inside have grown wildly, but they are full of life.
Walking forward, there is a room where you sit south and face north, and you can rest in a room. There is also a patio in the middle of the courtyard in front of it, and there is a stone platform with water on it, which looks neat and tidy.
Looking into the backyard again, it is said that it is also a discharge, but it is indeed a simple building with two small houses, and there are adobe huts on the left and right, saying that it is a thatched house and a stove house.
It looks a little smaller, and the layout is much more compact, so if you live in Peachtree Bay, it must be a little more crowded than when you are in Peachtree Bay. But fortunately, Lin Baozhu is just looking for a place to stay, and he doesn't care whether it is spacious or not.
In addition, although the yard is small, it is also complete. The wells and flower beds are complete, and she doesn't have to go through the trouble of hiring people to start the work, so she is still very excited on the whole.
"And what is the price? If the price is too high, then I still have to go to the stone alley. Although he was satisfied, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but find a way to inquire. In fact, when she opened the shop before, she probably already knew about the market of houses in the town, so she had some spectrum in her heart at this time.
However, to understand and understand, in the end, you still have to have more than one mind.
Bao inquired about the eyeballs, and thought a little in his heart, he had already earned a dime of broken silver, and it seemed that if the price was increased again, I was afraid that this customer would have to hang. In addition, the shopkeeper Xu is also an old man in the town, if he really makes him cheeky and lies all over the world to ask for a price, I am afraid that he will not succeed.
As soon as he thought about it, he simply said in a down-to-earth manner: "Since it is the face of the shopkeeper Xu, then I won't say anything about it, the family is in a hurry to buy a house in the county, so if you want money, the price will be much fairer." This court is for forty taels of silver, and it is for cash. After a pause, he went on to explain, "I don't think the town is as prosperous as the county seat, but this Mao'er Hutong is the cleanest and best part of the town. ”
Lin Baozhu nodded, looked around the courtyard again, and then briefly inquired about the situation of the rest of the houses in the alley. Knowing that the opposite door is an old couple, and on the side is a young couple with three small radish heads from Yujiazhuang, and the remaining families do not come back often, but they are quiet.
Knowing that there are no tricky and difficult characters nearby, Lin Baozhu can be regarded as relieved. In fact, it's not that Lin Baozhu doesn't want to go directly to the county seat to buy a house and property, but it is really a place in the county seat, but if it is close to the street and not remote, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, and now although she is worth a few hundred taels of silver, she does not dare to squander it all. She thought about it in her heart, thinking that the price was not unbearable, and she really wanted to see this yard, so she nodded immediately: "Forty taels is forty taels, and I don't have to bargain with you, but this document and the deed must be written clearly, and I will go to the official house to stamp it immediately." ”
When he heard what Lin Baozhu said, he naturally said that he was okay again and again, and it was a matter of going to the master's house one more time, but it didn't hinder anything. In this way, he got Lin Baozhu's silver horn, and he could get another reward with the main family when he turned around, which was really not difficult to run errands in comparison.
After the two sides discussed, Lin Baozhu went to the master's house with the shopkeeper Xu and the bag to inquire, and then went to the official's house with the documents. After a lot of running, after noon, the work was done.
This slap on the head can be regarded as buying a house for himself. Thinking about the reckless man, in fact, he is quite careful in some places, just like when he bought the mountain before, because the government did not have her household registration, so he could only fall under the name of that man.
At that time, she didn't have any other ideas, but she didn't expect that in just three or two days, he not only lost her household registration, but also transferred the family's tea mountain contract to her name. Moreover, she even found the head of the Zhang family in the village to re-sign a marriage certificate, which can be regarded as justifying her name.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Xu, Lin Baozhu returned to the small courtyard and walked around, thinking about those things from time to time.
When she was tired of wandering, she rolled up her sleeves and swept the ground in front of the front yard with a somewhat broken broom in the corner, and then took out the chairs that were full of dust and obviously did not want the original owner's family to wipe them up.
Because she hadn't lived there for a long time, there were still a lot of cobwebs in addition to dust, and she had only cleaned a small area before she was choked and coughed up tears.
When the yard was almost occupying people, she wiped her sweat, and then took great pains to fetch water and freshen up. In the end, he sat down on the broken chair he had just moved out and looked up at the sky leisurely, and became silent.
In fact, when Peachtree Bay moved to a new house, she also worked so hard to clean it, and at that time she was also full of joy, just jumping up happily. But the difference is that at that time, there was still that man who accompanied her to work, and it was not a vigorous romantic thing to talk about, but as long as it sounded, she couldn't help but feel full of warmth.
She just sat like she was going to be old. To be honest, she likes that man and wants to grow old with him, but forgive her for being just a layman and tired, especially when she is a so-called relative who can't wait to eat her meat, it makes her feel irritable.
Today is Zhang Yueniang, so what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? She didn't want her relationship with that man to be consumed by those tedious things one day, and she didn't want to become a careful-eyed woman who even she hated for those difficult people. She just wants to guard her own home, open her own workshop and shop, and then live a good life with her own man.
There was a lot of confusion in her heart, but in the end, she still didn't come up with a clue. I just feel that I don't seem to like my current mentality, she should be open-minded, instead of being entangled in those things like this.
Speaking from the heart, it's not that Lin Baozhu is suddenly hypocritical, but sometimes there is a gap in everyone's heart. She thought that she had opened a golden finger and could work hard with her own man without hesitation and then embark on a happy well-off life, but she didn't want to wait for her to feel that her life was stable and a good life, and a few people would pop up to disrupt the situation.
From Zhang Laohan and Liu, to Xia Xiaoyuan, and now there is Zhang Yueniang, which is really endless. If she could bear it before, it was just because her man had a clear and resolute attitude, and no one could make him shake his mind to protect himself. But now, she wasn't sure
Thinking about it, she fell into a trance, and it was not until after noon, when her stomach grunted with hunger, that she returned to her senses with a wry smile. He looked down at his lower abdomen, and then touched it a little miserably.
I especially remember that the man at that time was obsessed with giving birth to a girl
In Taoshuwan Village, after knowing that Zhang Yueniang was fine, Zhang Manchu turned around and left the house in the east wing without saying a word. Thinking that he had just neglected his daughter-in-law, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking up, his daughter-in-law, who had always trusted him and had never fallen on his face in front of others, was long gone. He was slightly stunned, and suddenly there was an unspeakable fear in his heart.
Immediately, he didn't care about thinking about what was going on, and strode directly into the main house.
There was silence in the room, and there was no shadow of his daughter-in-law at all. And the empty room is still the appearance of the daughter-in-law getting up early to clean up, and on the dresser in front of the window, the hairpin he gave to his daughter-in-law before is quietly placed.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Manchu knew that it was not good, and he couldn't afford to delay, so he hurriedly went to the backyard workshop again. Knowing that his daughter-in-law followed the delivery car to the town, her heart suddenly rose directly to her throat.
Somehow, the words that the daughter-in-law said when she questioned Zhang Yueniang suddenly appeared in her mind, and the daughter-in-law's expression was already full of anger at that time. But he was soft-hearted, distressed, and tried in vain to let his daughter-in-law swallow her grievances with him.
Mu Wei returned to the house, looked at the cold room, and beat his head in annoyance. When he saw the empty kang cabinet, he was even more desperate
The daughter-in-law didn't take anything away, only her most precious belongings, is this to draw a line with him? He didn't care how much money was in that property, but he knew that if his daughter-in-law really wanted to leave him, she wouldn't give him any chance at all. According to the daughter-in-law's temperament, even if there is no man, I am afraid that she will live a more chic life.
In fact, he should have thought that his daughter-in-law was so capable, even if she left him, she would naturally not live a difficult life. remembered what her daughter-in-law said about the most annoying thing about others and her showing up to question her reputation, Zhang Manchu reacted, this time the eldest sister's words really hurt her daughter-in-law. And his neglect at that time was the culprit, which made his daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable.
But perhaps, what makes the daughter-in-law the most difficult to accept is his attitude. didn't say a word, although he seemed to be standing next to his daughter-in-law, but he forgot his promise to his daughter-in-law at the moment when the eldest sister fainted.
He is a gentleman, but he doesn't think that women should be wronged for men. On the contrary, he always felt that since a man married a woman into the house, he should not let people be wronged. Just like what his mother instructed at the beginning, as long as he enters the door of the Zhang family, no matter whether the person is good or bad, he chooses it himself, and he should not find all kinds of reasons to treat people badly.
