Chapter 130: A Preliminary Exploration of Songjiang
Gan Da and Gan Wenli arrived in Songjiang day and night, Songjiang is bigger than Jiangyang, and it is also more prosperous than Jiangyang, and they felt the difference before they entered the city, and they were interrogated for a long time when they entered the city.
"Let's go to the place where the aunt said and ask the neighbors about the situation." After Gan Wenli fostered the carriage in the carriage and horse dealership, he told Gan Da that they might not be able to get things done in a day or two, and they would hand over the horses to others to raise first, and they would not delay when they went back.
Gan Da looked tired, "Don't worry, let's ask people like this, people may not tell us, find a place to clean up first, and then ask tomorrow." ”
The two went to find an inn near the address that Zou Xiaoxiao said, and the next day Gan Da pretended to be a person looking for relatives and went over, and directly grabbed someone and asked, saying that it was Zou San's relative and wanted to come to him, but he only remembered which street he was, and forgot which one it was.
The eldest lady he grabbed and looked him up and down, "Zou San? There's no such house on this street, huh? ”
"Impossible." Gan Da hurriedly said, "Zou San, who was squeezing oil in the mill twenty years ago, gave birth to two daughters and a son, and the eldest daughter is called Zou Xiaoxi. Are you on Anping Street? ”
"It's Anping Street, yes." The eldest lady thought, "Zou San, who squeezes oil, oh, you're talking about Zou chicken feet, one year he had an accident, and his right hand called the oil pestle to smash, and he has been crooked like chicken feet." The eldest lady made a gesture, "You said that he had already moved out of Anping Street." ”
"Why did he move out of Anping Street? Do you know where he's going to move to? Ganda asked.
"Not long after he died, his son gambled and owed a lot of money, so he sold the house to pay off the debt and moved out." The eldest mother said, "If you want to say that his family should also be, the family is good, and the life is prosperous, I don't know what crazy I am, I have to marry the eldest daughter and the second daughter, the angry eldest daughter jumped into the river and died, refused to return the money, and took the second daughter to fill the pit." ”
"I'm afraid it's also retribution, Zou Jijiao hurt his hand that year, the work of the mill can't be done, he carries sandbags on the dock to live, there are only three people in the family, and he can live on it, his son is not five or six, he looks like he is okay, and he deceived a daughter-in-law to come back, and it didn't cost any money."
"Later, Zou Jijiao died, his son was in charge of the house, he couldn't make money, he spent a lot of money, and he soon lost the family business, and he didn't hear from them for a long time after moving out of Anping Street." The eldest lady said, "So I haven't remembered it when you asked." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Ganda said, "I don't know if you know where his second daughter is married?" I was entrusted by my father to never see Uncle Zou, so I always had to say hello to his descendants and go to the grave to worship. ”
"The second daughter married the one who was originally married to her sister, in Changle Street, a little far from here." The eldest lady said. "But I heard that she died of a sudden illness after marrying and giving birth to a son, and I haven't seen her for so many years anyway."
"I know where Zou Jijiao's grave is, it's in a cemetery behind Yizhuang, the Zou family has many branches, and they want to give money when they enter the ancestral grave, Cai Honghua is reluctant to give that money, so it's buried behind Yizhuang." The eldest lady said. "Or set up a card, you go and look for it, you will know, his son's name is Dabao."
"Thank you, auntie."
The Zou family doesn't live on Anping Street, Songjiang is so big, where can they find it? Now let's go to the household surnamed Wang on Changle Street.
The house on Changle Street looks bigger than the house on Anping Street, and the people walking around the street are more leisurely, Gan Da did not ask Wang Dafu's family first, but first said that he was a relative of the Zou family, and knew that there was a nephew here, so he came to look for it, and the nephew's surname was Wang, and he wanted to inquire about the situation of his family on the side, but he asked a few people one after another and shook his head and didn't know about this family.
In the end, the old man who was standing on the side of the street selling sugar gourds said, "This Lang Jun, you are looking for Xiaolang surnamed Wang, right?" ”
"My husband knows?" Ganda leaned in.
"I don't know if it's the person you're looking for, you go straight from here to the third house and turn right and go in to the end, that family's surname is Wang, and there is a Xiaolang in the family, who is sixteen years old this year."
"Sixteen." Gan Da was stunned for a moment, that is older than Da Lang, Zou Xiaoxi's sister should be younger than her, how to give birth to a child older than Da Lang.
"His mother seems to be surnamed Zou, I don't remember it very well, it didn't take long to give birth to him, and then he had a stepmother, and Xiaolang had a hard time." The old man said, "But the child is a good child, every time he sees me, he has to help me carry something, and he doesn't want him to eat sugar gourds." ”
"If there are relatives from my mother's family who come to ask, it would be good for Xiaolang to have a better life." The old man looked at Gan Da, his eyes were full of expectation, and he could see that he really felt sorry for the child.
"I'll take a look." Ganda said. Even if it wasn't the person he was looking for, he would act as Xiaolang's uncle for a while and support him.
As the old man said, before he reached the yard, he heard a loud cursing sound, such as the shameless little beast, the cheap breed who eats and drinks for nothing, which is very harsh, Ganda knocked on the door, the scolding did not stop, and the scolding came to open the door, "Who." ”
"I'll look for Wang Dafu." Ganda said, the gate opened, and he saw a thin young man lying quietly by the water tank in the courtyard, half of the bucket overturned, and his body was wet.
The weather in February is cold when you look at it.
"What are you looking for Wang Dafu to do? Who are you? The woman held her stomach for about four or five months, and she regretted opening the door when she saw that Master Gan was tall and tall.
"I have something to ask him, is he at home?" Ganda asked.
"He's not at home." The woman said that she was about to come and close the door, but Ganda stretched out her hand against the door, "He is not here, and his son is the same, you call out, I will ask him." ”
The woman was afraid in her heart, and Gan Da looked unkind, and she was afraid that something would go wrong. When I turned around and saw the person lying on the ground, I suddenly remembered that the person she beat and scolded and bullied at every turn was also Wang Dafu's son, and pointed with his hand, "He, he is Wang Dafu's eldest son, what do you have to ask him." ”
The young man stood up with his hands, very thin, with a big palm-sized face and a pair of big eyes, and the eyes that looked at him were unwavering, and he didn't know what to fear.
At the age of sixteen, his body is weaker than San Lang, Gan Da regretted in his heart, his face became more and more ugly, he stretched out his hand, "You come here." ”
"Not yet." The woman said that she pushed the boy out of the house, and then could not wait to close the door, and it was best that this person came to seek revenge, and beat Wang Dalang to death with one punch, so that she would not have to worry about this son born to someone else and her son to divide the family property.
Wang Dalang looked at Gan Da, the expected fist did not fall, Gan Da squatted down and wrung his soaked clothes for him, "You can't wear this shirt when it's wet, I'll go back and change it early." ”
The clothes that started were light, and even the jacket could not be counted, at most it was a thicker spring dress, and he was angry and angry, "How cold it is, how can I wear such a little bit enough, don't you have a jacket at home?" Yes. ”
Wang Dalang was a little unsure of his behavior, he looked very fierce, with a revenge-seeking posture, why did he care about whether he was wearing thick clothes.
"Who are you?" Wang Dalang asked.
"Is your mother's surname Zou and Zou Xiaomei? I'm your uncle," said Ganda. He didn't suspect that Wang Dalang was not the person he was looking for, and his family was thinner, with a small face and big eyes, just like him.
"That was your stepmother just now, right? How can there be such a vicious person, who only wears you so much on such a cold day, is to freeze you to death, what about your father, just look at it like this? There's no one else in your family, and she's a vicious woman in charge? ”
"I don't have an aunt, and I don't have an uncle, you recognize the wrong person." Wang Dalang said.
"Then is your mother's surname Zou?" Ganda asked.
Wang Dalang nodded hesitantly, "But she is dead, and my aunt is also dead, dying in front of her." ”
