Chapter 259: Xie Qi discovered the three brothers of the Ge family
When I came to the door of Ge's house, the three brothers of the Ge family were there. When Xie Qi entered, he was taken aback to see the three of them.
"Why are you here?"
Ge Yi smiled at Xie Qi, ignored the question, and pointed to the food prepared over there.
"That's enough!"
Xie Qi glanced at it, asked people to go over and count, and then repeated the question just now.
"Why are you here?"
"I don't think there's any need to tell you this." Ge Yi said.
Xie Qi's face sank, and his face was ugly. I probably know it in my heart. It seems that these three people are already with Da Niu.
So was everything you said at the beginning a lie?
"The numbers are right."
Xie Qi nodded.
"You get your stuff in the wagon."
A few people nodded, and then went to move their things.
Soon, after the things were moved, Xie Qi asked people to go to another house to collect them, and then he watched the three brothers of the Ge family here.
"Have you already followed Zhang Daniu?"
"I don't know what Xie Zhen said." Ge Yi pretended to be stupid and said.
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me, if you weren't with him, how could you be in Zhangjiawan." Xie Qi said in a cold voice.
"No matter what Mayor Xie thinks, anyway, we are good now, and we won't break the law in that kind of thing, so please Mayor Xie don't look for a few of us in the future." Ge Yi said.
Xie Qi laughed mockingly: "Dogs can't change eating, have you heard of this sentence?" ”
When Ge Er heard this, he stepped forward angrily, Ge Yi grabbed Ge Er, and then said, "Time will tell." ”
"Very good, then I'll see if you can really be farmers with peace of mind." Xie Qi threw up his sleeves and left here after speaking.
Xie Qi was angry because he had been deceived.
Zhang Daniu, it seems that you are quite capable, and you actually turned the enemy into your own people.
……
"Brother, what now?" Ge San asked Ge Yi.
"What to do?" Ge Yi looked at the third child.
"What else can I do? If you know, you know, we have nothing to do with him, we take the money, and the matter is done, and then we can go wherever we want, that's our business, what does he want to do with a little mayor? These are the words that Ge Er said.
"But we're still under his jurisdiction." Ge San said.
Ge Er skimmed the third child for a moment, feeling that he was unproductive.
Ge Yi, who was silent on the side, opened his mouth and said, "You guys should pay attention in the future." ”
Ge Er and Ge San nodded at the same time, and then the two of them said at the same time, "Got it." ”
"Brother, the bread and grain we planted are gone, aren't we working in vain during this time?" Ge San said again.
He didn't say that it was okay, but he sighed as soon as he said Ge Yi and Ge Er.
"I think it's better to go into the mountains to hunt in the future, this kind of crop can't make money, and I can't support myself." Ge Yi said.
Ge Er immediately agreed when he heard his eldest brother say this.
"This is okay, and you can also be with the big cow in the future, I think he sells prey very well, and we can sell it to him when we hunt."
Ge San glanced at the second brother and said, "Then you have to give him the selling fee, otherwise he won't help you sell." ”
"You know him." Ge Er's fighting spirit that was finally ignited was extinguished by him, and he raised his hand and patted Ge San on the head.
Ge San rubbed his head and said to his eldest brother: "Big brother, look, he patted me on the head again, it was not brilliant in the first place, and if he patted me again, he would make me stupid, and you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and you will support me for a lifetime." ”
"You kid still want to marry a daughter-in-law, my eldest brother and I haven't married a daughter-in-law, don't want to marry a daughter-in-law." Ge Er raised his foot and kicked Ge Sanyi.
Ge Yi looked at them, his face darkened, he didn't bother to speak, and turned around and went into the house.
After Xie Qi left the Ge family, he walked towards Da Niu's house, and happened to meet Da Niu who was about to go out.
"Zhang Daniu, you have a good job!"
Zhang Daniu frowned, seeing that he was coming from there, he probably knew what the reason was.
He looked at Xie Qi coldly, and then pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"You should know the three brothers of the Ge family, right?"
"Oh, you said the three brothers of the Ge family!" Zhang Daniu showed a sudden realization.
Xie Qi saw that he was still pretending at this time, his face sank, and it was as black as coal.
"Didn't you send them to spy on us?" Zhang Daniu asked Xie Qi.
Xie Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he was playing dumb with himself.
"Mayor Xie, is there anything else? I'll leave first if I have nothing to do. Zhang Daniu looked at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi looked at him as well, and then walked away without saying anything.
Zhou Yiran came out of the house with the basket, looked at Xie Qi, and said, "What did he say just now?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm going to the village chief's house."
"Oh, then there you go! I went to the field to pick some vegetables. As she spoke, she took the basket and left.
Da Niu closed the door and walked to the village chief's house.
At the village chief's house, Liu Yun was depressed.
"This year it was done in vain."
"And sweet potatoes, just get through this year." Zhang Tian said.
"Survive this year, who knows what next year will bring? Will there be another tax increase? Liu Yun feels that there will definitely be a tax increase next year.
Zhang Daniu came in, and just when he heard this, he felt the same as the village chief's wife, and it might be the same next year.
First raise taxes, then arrest people, if it is for war, grain and grass must be prepared.
Where will the grain and grass come from, it will definitely be prepared by the people at that time, anyway, no matter what happens, it is the people who are unlucky.
The big cow is coming, come in and sit. Liu Yun hurriedly got up, brought the stool next to him and put it next to Zhang Tian.
Da Niu came in, nodded to Liu Yun, and then sat down.
"Village chief, do you think you should tell everyone about that matter?"
"Wouldn't it be bad to say at this time? Everyone has just handed over the food, and when the mood is low, if you hear this again, you will definitely not be able to accept it. Liu Yun said.
"Even if you don't say it, everyone will find out soon." Zhang Tian said.
"Yes, now that everyone is free, someone will definitely go to the town, and the people in the village will definitely know about it and can't hide it." Zhang Daniu said.
"......" Liu Yun.
"In the afternoon, I was talking to everyone, let everyone relax."
"Well, in fact, I came here to tell the village chief, if the time comes, if you really catch the strong man, Xiaoran will trouble her aunt and uncle to take care of it." Zhang Daniu is planning ahead.
"What are you talking about, if you don't say it, we will help take care of it." Liu Yun likes Zhou Yiran very much, "Don't worry, I will take care of her like a daughter when the time comes." ”
"Xiaoran, this kid is capable, and when the time comes, I don't know who will take care of whom, so don't worry about it." Zhang Tian said to Da Niu.
Zhang Daniu smiled, and then everyone chatted for a while, and then he went back.
Back at home, Zhou Yiran, who was picking vegetables in the yard, saw him come back and asked curiously.
"What did you do at the village chief's house?"
"I didn't do anything, just chatted a little." After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, he went over to help her pick vegetables.
"Big Niu, when will the sweet potatoes in our field be dug up?"
"There's still some time, what? You want to eat sweet potatoes now. Da Niu asked her.
"That's right! I really want to eat baked sweet potatoes. ”
"I'll go tomorrow to see if there are any potatoes in the town, and get a few potatoes to bake for you to eat, and satisfy your cravings."
"Can that be the same? Potatoes have no taste, how can they be compared to sweet potatoes? She gave a blank look.
Zhang Daniu smiled, and then asked her, "If you want to eat, what should you do?" ”
"I don't have to eat, I just want to." She reached out and snatched the vegetables from Da Niu's hand, broke them twice and threw them into the dustpan, and then picked them up, "You cut the pumpkin and peel it, and fry a pumpkin at noon to eat." ”
Da Niu nodded and followed her to the kitchen to get a knife, then she washed the vegetables, and he went to the pumpkin skin.
……
After Xie Qi left Zhangjiawan, he didn't go with those people, and went directly back to the town with the loaded team.
Back at the house, Mrs. Xie saw that her son's face was wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Qi'er, are the villagers embarrassing you?"
Xie Qi shook his head.
"So what's wrong with you? Who upset you? Mrs. Xie then asked.
"Mother, have you been to see your sister recently?"
"I asked someone to go there, but the person who came back said that he hadn't even seen Yu'er's face, saying that Yu'er was pregnant, and Chen Menghui asked her to give birth to a baby."
After hearing this, Xie Qi felt strange, could it be that his sister was restricted by Chen Menghui's freedom?
Thinking of this, he turned and went out.
"Qi'er, where are you going again?" Mrs. Xie shouted.
Xie Qi didn't answer, walked quickly towards the gate, and then turned around and walked towards Chen's mansion.
On the way to Chen's Mansion, Xie Qi bought some dim sum and then carried the dim sum to Chen's Mansion.
When he came to the gate of Chen's mansion, the person guarding the door saw that it was the young lady's brother and let him in.
The housekeeper was in the front yard, and when he saw the young lady's brother, he immediately stepped forward.
"Young Master Xie is here to find the young lady, right?"
"Well, can the butler lead the way?" Xie Qi asked with a smile.
"Young Master Xie, please come with me." The butler smiled and led him away.
Xie Qi followed the butler and stretched out his hand, asking as he walked.
"Isn't your young master at home?"
"No, the young master has been busy lately, and he comes back late, and sometimes he won't come back at noon."
"Oh, what about Mrs. Chen?"
"Madame has gone to the temple on the mountain." The housekeeper answered them one by one.
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Xie Qi remembered that Mrs. Chen would go to the temple to live in the temple for a period of time at this time of year.
"Then your young lady is not in the house?" Xie Qi inquired.
The housekeeper glanced back at Xie Qi, and then said, "Miss is in the house, but Miss has been in the kitchen for the past two days." ”
"Kitchen?" Xie Qi frowned, "What is she doing in the kitchen?" ”
"It's learning to cook." The housekeeper laughed, feeling that the young lady had changed when she came back from Zhangjiawan.
Xie Qi frowned when he heard that Chen Yin was learning to cook, and did not ask the housekeeper any more questions.
Soon, Xie Yu'er's yard arrived, and the housekeeper led him to the gate of the courtyard and left.
Xie Qi went in with a snack, and the maid in the courtyard saw that it was Young Master Xie, and immediately entered the room to report to the young lady.
"Young lady, your brother is here."
When Xiao Cui heard that the young master was coming, her whole body became energetic.
Xie Yu'er looked at Xiao Cui like this, frowned slightly, and did not say anything.
Xie Qi came in and put the snack in his hand on the table.
"It's all your favorite snack."
"Thank you, brother." Xie Yu'er immediately opened the package, just asked about the taste, and she immediately instructed Xiao Cui, "Take it down." ”
