Fanning came to the dock with a cloth bag on his back and saw his father's boat at a glance, but the man was not on board.

He looked around, and there was a rush of people, but he didn't see his father.

"Dumb!" Someone was calling Fanning by his nickname.

It turned out to be Zhang Shuigen from the same village, "Grandpa Shuigen, where is my father?" Fanning asked as he ran down the stairs.

"Your father went to Fan's house, and he asked you to wait for him for a while."

Zhang Shuigen smiled and beckoned to Fan Ning, "Come to my boat and drink a bowl of ginger tea!" ”

Fanning's mother, Zhang Sanniang, is Zhang Shuigen's niece, and she is not an outsider.

Fanning jumped onto his passenger boat and sat down cross-legged on the bow of the boat, Zhang Shuigen scooped a bowl of hot honey and ginger tea from the iron pot and handed it to him, "Drink it while it's hot!" Ginger tea can ward off the cold, which is a good thing! ”

Fan Ning hurriedly took the small bowl, "Thank you, Grandpa Shuigen." ”

Fanning drank a few sips of ginger tea, only to feel warm all over.

"What is my father doing in the Fan family's main hall?"

Fan Ning was a little curious in his heart, since the last time his grandfather Fan Dachuan went to the clan to make a big quarrel in order to ask for ten yuan money, their family has basically fallen out with the Fan clan.

"There's a little trouble in your family!"

Fanning was stunned, "What's the trouble?" ”

Zhang Shuigen hesitated, but still told Fan Ning, "Your third uncle has an accident." ”

"Ahh

Fan Ning was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened to my third uncle?" Tell me. ”

"I don't know what the specific things are, I just heard your father say that your third uncle ran away with his daughter, and early this morning, a large group of people from the Lu family came to your grandfather's house to ask for someone."

"And then?"

"And then your dad was running around for a day, huh! He's coming. ”

Fanning turned around and saw his father walking towards the dock with a gloomy face.

Fan Ning hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, Fan Tiezhou nodded, but there was no smile on his face.

"Grandpa Mizune, I'm over."

"Go ahead! Advise your father, don't be impatient, this kind of housework will eventually be solved. ”

"I know!"

Fan Ning returned to his father's boat, Fan Tiezhou sighed and said, "I'll send you home first!" ”

The boat left the dock and headed for the Xu River.

"Daddy, what happened to the third uncle?"

Fan Tiezhou said in a loud voice: "I am also to blame for this, I believe in the Lu family too much." ”

Fanning didn't interrupt his father's train of thought, waiting for him to continue.

"Last time I sent you to school, I went directly to Lu's house, I proposed the idea of divorce, Lu Yuanwai patted my chest and promised me that I would not bully your third uncle in the future, but only a few days later, he beat your third uncle again yesterday, your third uncle couldn't stand it, and fled overnight with Niuniu, but this time he didn't go home, and he didn't go home, and he didn't know where to go."

"How does Daddy know so clearly?"

"I have an acquaintance in Tanbaiwan Village, and he told me."

"Then what is Daddy doing at Fan's main hall?"

Fan Tiezhou held back his anger and said: "Early this morning, Lu Yuanwai brought a large group of relatives to your father-in-law's house to ask for someone, this time they took the initiative to file for divorce, Lu Yuanwai prepared a detailed list, saying that in the past few years, your third uncle has spent a total of 300 yuan on eating and drinking in the Lu family, plus a bride price of 200 taels of silver, and if you ask your grandfather to take out 500 taels of silver at a time, this marriage will be over." ”

"It's too dark, isn't it?"

Fan Ning said angrily: "How can it be possible to eat three hundred taels of silver in four years, besides, how many fields and housework the third uncle has planted for them, how can they not count?" ”

"This kind of thing is justified by the public, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, the Lu family has found a lot of famous squires, and your grandfather also hopes that the patriarch of the main hall will come out to help evaluate it."

"Will the Hondo patriarch help?"

"The promise is a promise, just to say to help as much as possible, the main reason is that we usually have less contact with the church, and we also had an unpleasant quarrel last time, and now we ask them to help when something happens, and their attitude is also expected."

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "The top priority is to find the third uncle, and Daddy knows where he will be?" ”

Fan Tiezhou nodded, "I think he is likely to hide from your second uncle, I'll send you home first, and I'll go back to him." ”

"Why don't we go together now!"

"No! Your mother has repeatedly explained that you must go home. ”

Fanning is out of line, and his mother has always been the same when it comes to this kind of thing.

Fan Tiezhou sent his son home, and then sailed away.

Zhang Sanniang was also in a bad mood, she was cooking lunch for her son in the kitchen, and at the same time scolded her father-in-law Fan Dachuan for seeing the money and pushing her son into the fire pit.

She chattered and made Fanning uneasy.

"Mother, don't complain, I can't concentrate on writing."

Fan Ning shouted, and Zhang Sanniang quieted down.

After a while, she came over with a bowl of hot noodles, "Let's eat first!" ”

Fan Ning hurriedly packed up his pen and ink, pulled over the bowl and snorted and ate, he didn't eat at noon, he was really hungry.

Zhang Sanniang sat on the side and watched her son eat sweetly, and her mood was a little better.

"Mother, is the Lu family gone?" Fanning asked vaguely, chewing on an egg in his mouth.

"Leave early, make an appointment to solve it tomorrow afternoon, you just leave this matter alone, study hard, and the adults will handle this matter."

Fanning knew that this kind of housework might not be so easy to solve.

．．．．．．．．

After eating, Fanning took the bookbag and went to Zhou Yuanwai's house to return the book.

The housekeeper welcomed him into the mansion with a smile, "Is the old man back?" Fanning asked.

"Tomorrow I have to sacrifice to the water official, and the lord can't come back, but in the morning he asked someone to bring a book, saying that it was for the junior official."

The housekeeper handed a wooden box to Fanning, and Fanning opened the wooden box, which was the restored Ding Wei "Pingjiang Collection".

Fanning flipped through it, and couldn't help but admire the exquisite restoration skills of the craftsmen, if you don't look closely, you can't see that it has been repaired, and the cracks on it are very subtle, I'm afraid you need a magnifying glass to see it.

Fanning put the book back in the box and asked, "Did the old man bring me any words?" ”

"It's to let you return to the original owner as soon as possible, and if you have time, let you go to Qishi Lane again, the lord said that the stone you had last time caused a sensation in Changzhou County."

It turned out that Old Man Zhou went back to Changzhou County to bask in treasures, and Fan Ning secretly despised it, and he didn't say anything more if it caused a sensation.

Fan Ning originally wanted to ask Old Man Zhou to help the third uncle, but since he was not in the house, Fan Ning could only go home.

In the middle of the night, Fanning slept in a daze, and was awakened by the sound of talking in the courtyard.

He put on his sheepskin jacket and walked out of the room, only to see several people standing in the courtyard, and he could see clearly in the moonlight.

The tallest was his father, and the other two he recognized one of them as the third uncle Fan Tieniu, who was holding a little girl in his arms and sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

There is also a slightly fatter person, who looks more like his father, and Fan Ning deduced that this person should be his second uncle Fan Tiege, wearing a woolen robe and a hat, and he really looks like a businessman.

Zhang Sanniang said to her husband: "The fourth child has been here in the afternoon, let you go directly to your father when you come back, you have to go no matter how late!" ”

Fan Tiezhou nodded and said to the two brothers: "Since Daddy left a message, let's go over!" ”

Fan Tieniu handed his sleeping daughter to Zhang Sanniang, "Sister-in-law, help me take care of Niuniu." ”

Zhang Sanniang took Xiao Nan, "Go ahead!" ”

The three brothers then left the courtyard and walked away quickly.

Fanning took advantage of her mother's unpreparedness and quickly slipped out of the yard and followed.

．．．．．．．

The hall was brightly lit, Fan Tieniu hung his head and knelt on the ground, and several brothers were standing beside him.

Fan Dachuan sat on the wide chair and slapped the table heavily, "Okay, why did you escape?" ”

"Daddy, they not only beat me, but also scolded me for being a white-eyed wolf, eating and drinking from the Lu family, and not knowing how to be grateful!"

"You have rough skin and flesh, you will be beaten once, I asked you why you ran away and took the girl away?"

Fan Tieniu suddenly whimpered and cried, "My father-in-law insulted me and beat me in front of the villagers, and the children also came to spit on me, I really can't go on!" ”

Fan Tiezhou was furious and slammed his fist on the table, "It's too much of a bully!" ”

Fan Tieniu wiped his tears and said: "I won't go back to the Lu family again, it's a big deal that I will take Niuniu away and fly away and live incognito!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Fan Dachuan slapped the table again, "You run away, what should we do?" ”

The lobby fell silent.

Fan Tiezhou sighed and said, "Since the Lu family wants to divorce, let's leave!" We definitely don't admit five hundred taels of silver, we must fight for it on the basis of reason, I don't believe the reason and put it here, can they still reverse black and white? ”

At this time, Fan Ning walked in from outside the door and said slowly: "Daddy, in fact, the Lu family doesn't want to divorce!" ”
