Chapter 143
The daughter-in-law left with her belongings, and there was a posture that she never wanted to come back, even a rugged man like Zhang Manchu couldn't help but despair. [Full text reading. 】
He couldn't let him think too much, so he got up and said to Aunt Tian that he would help take care of the family, and then hurriedly went to Shi Dayong's food workshop and took a mule cart to the town.
To be honest, he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to leave one day, and earlier he swore that if his daughter-in-law was leaving, he would naturally not restrain her. Later, the two of them lived their lives, and every time there was something to make others envious, he thought to himself that if his daughter-in-law had to leave one day, he would definitely lick his face and chase after her.
But he didn't want to make people worse, and he even heard how his daughter-in-law went, from the mouths of the people who worked in the tea shop.
has always been a man who is as stable as Mount Tai in trouble, but at this time he is also full of panic and loses his former calmness.
Especially when he went to Zhang Ji Shop full of hope, knowing that Lin Baozhu did not come, and he did not go to find Liuzi, his heart completely fell into ice water. Even, the whole person is scurrying around like a fly without a head, without the slightest clue.
If it's a side matter, they can also find some good friends to help inquire and find it, but the daughter-in-law is lost. If this matter is spread out, not to mention anything else, it will be extremely bad for the reputation of the daughter-in-law.
Besides, if you really have to go to great lengths to find it, I'm afraid that some people with bad intentions will also do it secretly. After the last battle with Zhou Ji, Zhang Manchu knew very well how crazy the Zhou family was. In order to discredit Zhang Ji, he can secretly find someone to poison and kill people, not to mention that now Zhang Ji's backbone is alone.
He clearly remembered that if it weren't for the fact that his daughter-in-law and the eldest brother of the Shi family had the evidence at that time, he was afraid that the eldest master of Zhou Ji would shamelessly slander his daughter-in-law as a fugitive slave of his family.
Although Zhou Ji did not succeed at that time, he was still worried about the so-called deed of sale and letters in the hands of the eldest man of the Zhou family.
So after asking Liuzi that he had seen Lin Baozhu in the morning, Zhang Manchu's heart also settled down a little. Since the daughter-in-law is still in Anping Town, it is good, at least it proves that the daughter-in-law has not encountered anything bad.
After feeling a little relieved, Zhang Manchu left in a hurry. I have seen a few similar tea shops and tea shops, but I have not seen my daughter-in-law, and it was not until noon that he went back with a lot of concern.
With a glimmer of hope, he returned to Peachtree Bay, and his daughter-in-law had nowhere else to stay, so maybe she had already gone home in anger?
Although the eldest brother didn't say anything, the sixth son, who has always had a lot of ghost eyes, was still sensitive to the difference, so as soon as Zhang Manchu left, he didn't have the heart to sleep, so he simply got up and went to the town for a walk. Of course, he also had to buy some side dishes and ask the bag in the town to chat.
In fact, if you want to talk about playing with your heart, the six sons who have been following Zhu Neng for many years are not bad.
"Brother, my brother is very happy to see you today, did you meet some happy event?" After a few cups, Liuzi patted his bag on the shoulder and said, "Say it, and tell my brother about it, so that my brother will be happy." ”
"Hey, what's a happy event or not, it's that I met a big customer today, and I bought a small courtyard in my brother's hand in a few words." Bao inquired and took a sip of wine, burped, and then hummed a little song with a flushed face. Seeing that Liuzi was still waiting to listen with his ears pricked up, he smiled, reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and then whispered mysteriously, "Do you know how much cash that lady has paid?" ”
Seeing that Liuzi shook his head, Bao inquired and patted the table proudly, and said, "Forty taels, that guy, he doesn't blink his eyes, he is really wealthy." ”
It's not to blame Bao for not knowing Lin Baozhu, it's really that Zhang Ji's family is too low-key. There are special people in charge of external delivery and even settlement of money, and she has not walked around a few times under the banner of Zhang Ji at all.
What's more, in this day and age, if it is said that a woman supports Zhang Ji's business, even if it is a fact, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
Although there are many women in the town who come out to work to earn money, they have not heard of anyone who can have such skills, and directly opened workshops and shops.
That's it, Bao inquired and didn't think about the identity of Lin Baozhu and Zhang Ji's hostess. Then there was the help of the shopkeeper Xu, and he estimated that the person was just some relative or nephew of the shopkeeper Xu. After all, the shopkeeper Xu also came from the suburbs of Beijing, and it is not an incredible thing to have a niece who is wealthy at hand.
Seeing that Bao Da heard about it, Liuzi secretly remembered it in his heart, and of course he had to inquire about the yard where the generous woman bought.
"Brother, don't say that there is a bamboo pole that knocked someone, forty taels of silver to buy the yard on the other side of Stone Lane, brother, you have made a lot of money." After all, he has been messing around with people from three religions and nine streams in the town all the year round, and the sixth son naturally knows the market here.
This time, Bao was not happy to inquire, rolled his eyelids and said, "Hey, what are these words, brother, am I that kind of person." The forty taels of silver bought the courtyard of Mao'er Hutong, and in the hands of the elder brother, it was just a reward for drinking money. ”
got the letter, and the sixth son didn't ask much, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to say that he was not alone. Then he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and after a few cups, the sixth son ran away under the pretext of having a stomachache.
Let's say that Zhang Manho, who returned to Peachtree Bay, went home to see it first, and after knowing that his daughter-in-law did not come back, he hurried to the old yard over there in the food workshop. The daughter-in-law has no other people who know her closely, counting and counting, only Xiuniang's sister-in-law is close to her, if there is no other place to go, maybe she goes to Xiuniang's sister-in-law.
Regarding the farce on the Zhang family's side today, Zhang Xiuniang and Shi Dayong didn't know yet, and when they saw Zhang Manchu coming, the two of them were surprised for a long time.
Seeing that there was no one here, Zhang Manchu was completely deflated. And in that heart, it was like being baked by fire, very uncomfortable. There are not many places where the daughter-in-law can go, but this is what makes him even more worried, once the daughter-in-law is determined to leave or hide, even if he has the heart, it will be difficult for him to find it.
The world is big, if she is really ruthless and leaves, where can she go to chase her?
knew that Lin Baozhu had a temper and left, but Zhang Xiuniang was shocked. She hurriedly asked what was going on, but when she saw that Zhang Manchu's face was not good, she seemed to have something difficult to say, and when she got up in the morning, she saw Zhang Yueniang's eldest sister of the Zhang family looking bad, and she had a bottom in her heart.
She thought to herself, that Zhang Yueniang looked weak, but her eyes were full of calculations. Although Baozhu's temperament can't suffer any big losses, I am afraid that Zhang Manchu's position is not firm. Thinking of this, she didn't continue to ask.
"Baozhu has no relatives here, and he doesn't have any friends, so he won't go far if he wants to." Although I sighed in my heart, how can a woman get married, she will always encounter some bad things. But she didn't stick a knife in her heart anymore, she just thought about it carefully, and helped her think about where the orb might go. "Baozhu is kind and kind, even if it annoys you, it won't really leave this family alone, not to mention that there are tea shops and food workshops, without her craftsmanship, those tea leaves must not be broken"
Unable to find anyone, Zhang Manchu went home first, planning to ask Aunt Tian if her daughter-in-law had said how to arrange the work of the tea shop in the future. If there is no arrangement, then the daughter-in-law will come back, but if the future work is arranged properly, I am afraid that it will be the daughter-in-law
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become sour.
Looking back on the past six months, he was afraid of his lonely life at the beginning, and now everyone in the village talks to him, and he has personally experienced how much this day has changed.
In the past, every time he came back, there was a deserted courtyard, and the dilapidated house was cold and cold, without the smell of a living person, and he was just a thatched house as a dispensable place to stay. But since he had a daughter-in-law, his life has gradually improved, and when he has nothing to do, his daughter-in-law will sit with him and gossip, and think about some strange things, or eat or play, fresh and interesting, and let him relax the whole person.
There is no fear when fighting with jackals and beasts in the mountains, nor is there the thrilling fear when the bandits plundering the mountain, and some are full of warmth.
To be honest, he really cherishes the peace and security given by his daughter-in-law. In the past, he was like a trapped beast, coldly watching the meanness and rejection of outsiders towards him. At that time, he thought that his whole life would be like that. But with a daughter-in-law, he knew what life should be like.
To be honest, he doesn't care how capable his daughter-in-law is, and he doesn't think that his daughter-in-law's ability makes him lose face, otherwise he wouldn't have tried his best to run for his daughter-in-law to achieve her wish. He likes his daughter-in-law, which is rare from the bottom of his heart and bones. Maybe it's because no one has been close to him for too long, or maybe it's because his daughter-in-law is too good and beautiful, which makes him particularly obsessed with a daughter-in-law's home, warm and beautiful.
But now because of his stupidity, he has made his daughter-in-law feel cold. He could even imagine how uncomfortable his daughter-in-law was when she left. It's as if he's been outcast
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my eldest sister Zhang Yueniang standing in front of the door of the east house with tears on her face and red and swollen eyes. Looking at the appearance, she was very haggard and pitiful, and then Zhang Manchu couldn't feel distressed, and even what was circling back and forth in her mind was how this poor eldest sister who was in front of herself and her outside asked her daughter-in-law for embarrassing herself.
