On a rainy day, someone from the Hu family came and said it was a gift for April.

"My second son-in-law instructed that when his wish came true, he would give Miss Yuan a generous gift. Yesterday, the news came back that my son-in-law was recommended by the county order, and he will work in the yamen in the future. Childe said that he promised that day that he would be grateful after being recommended. Childe kept his promise and asked Miss Yuan to accept this thank you gift. ”

The housekeeper sent by the Hu family was very polite. The gifts were also very valuable, a few horses of cotton and silk, as well as some pork and mutton, and expensive spices.

April frowned slightly.

She has no relationship with Hu Tang, why is the other party like this.

She said solemnly: "That day was just a joke, how can it be taken seriously." Steward Liu has worked hard to make a trip, I can't accept this gift, please bring it back. ”

"Miss Yuan, don't be embarrassed by old age. The things that the son explained, the old man will definitely do it well. ”

"Steward Liu is clearly embarrassing me."

"It's not difficult. As long as Miss Yuan is willing to accept the gift, everyone will be happy. Steward Liu looked like he wouldn't leave if he didn't accept the gift in April.

April felt a little irritable in his heart, it was a meeting in Pingshui, but because of a joke, he sent someone to give such a generous gift, and it was not okay not to accept it.

After a verbal exchange, April finally accepted the gift.

Steward Liu left satisfied, he was finally able to go back to the errand.

Yuan Li hid behind the door, and only came out from behind the door after Steward Liu and his party left.

"This is a good Shu forging, and it is worth a lot of money. In April, such a valuable gift was really accepted. What kind of Hu Gongzi is that, didn't he take a fancy to you. ”

April made a straight face, "Mother, don't talk nonsense." Put away the cloth and don't touch it yet, you will have to return it when you have the chance. Meat, let's eat it ourselves. If you can't finish it, it will be made into cured meat. ”

"It's muslin, it's so nice to the touch." Yuan Li was a little reluctant, "April, do you really don't use these cloths?" You can cut two sets of clothes. It's not good for you to send back a gift from someone sincerely. ”

"Mother, don't be greedy for a little profit in front of you. In short, no one could move the cloth. ”

In April, Yuan Li repeatedly told him, but Yuan Li had no choice but to give up. She was full of regrets, and it was a pity that such a good cloth could be cut into a shirt.

……

Yuan Erlang returned to the village.

He pulled a face, and it was clear that this year's recommendation had failed again.

When he entered the village, he met Steward Liu and his party, and learned that he was here to give gifts to April, and he was so angry in his heart, and his face immediately became gloomy again.

When they got home and saw his face, the whole family knew that the result was not good.

Old Man Yuan also comforted him and told him not to be discouraged. If you can't be an official or an official, you will find another way to live. Those who have read books are always better than those who have not read books, and there are more opportunities.

"It's all April!" Yuan Erlang suddenly shouted: "It must be April who said bad things about me in front of other students, and it reached the ears of the county order, and I will be defeated." ”

The whole family was shocked and inexplicable, and they couldn't figure it out.

How can April have the ability to harm him.

Yuan Juhua muttered secretly, "Is it possible for the second brother to lose his mind?" ”

Yuan Xu glared at Yuan Juhua, can he speak, he is really a money-loser.

"What did she do to you in April?" Old Man Yuan asked.

Yuan Erlang gritted his teeth and said: "I know Hu Tang in April, and Hu Tang can talk to the county magistrate. It must have been April who said bad things about me in front of Hu Tang, it must be like this. She was the one who hurt me, and she deserves to die! ”

"Ah......" Yuan Xu shouted, "I said, the Hu family actually gave a gift to April." Okay, we didn't bother her, she hurt Erlang first. ”

Old Lady Yuan smiled, "I said a long time ago that the dead girl is a debt collector, a black-hearted and rotten thing." She can harm Erlang today, and she can harm the whole family if she changes her mind. ”

"She's hurting me, she's hurting me. I could have been recommended, but she hurt me......" Yuan Erlang seemed to be stunned, and as if he had found an excuse for failure, he repeatedly emphasized that April hurt her.

Yuan Xu was so distressed.

Yuan Juhua wanted to say something fair, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Yuan Xu slapped her in the face.

Yuan Guihua even laughed at Yuan Juhua: "You deserve it!" You think it's great to be able to make tofu. ”

"This can't be done like that. Daddy, don't you care? Yuan Xu asked angrily.

Yuan Chenggui glanced at Old Man Yuan and didn't make a sound.

Yuan Xu was so angry, "Don't care about me." ”

She grabbed a stick and went out, apparently heading for April.

Yuan Chenggui got up, as if he wanted to stop him, but he sat down again.

Old Mrs. Yuan took the opportunity to nag: "Erlang is pitiful, a good future is gone." It's a pity that I've spent so much money and food over the years. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chenggui only felt embarrassed.

Yuan Erlang seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart and began to cry, as if he had been greatly wronged. It's a big man who can cry because of him.

Yuan Guihua secretly pouted, very disgusted. Hide back in the room, out of sight, out of mind.

Yuan Juhua looked left and right, she still went to work. When you work, you don't have to think about anything.

……

"Yuan April, you come out for me. Why are you so vicious, do you have the surname Yuan or not, you have harmed our whole family enough, you have to harm Erlang. Erlang can't be an official, what's in it for you? You little girl, why is your heart so dark...... I've kowtowed to you, can you let our whole family go and let Erlang go. In the next life, I will make you a cow and a horse, please raise your noble hand, and say to Hu Gongzi, will you return Erlang's official position to my family Erlang? ”

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Yuan Li stood at the door timidly.

"Brother and sister, will you let go of our family and my family? We admit defeat and can't afford to provoke you, please raise your noble hand and don't force people to death! ”

Yuan Xu was crying and roaring, and the whole village was shocked.

The crowd watched, and Yuan Li panicked, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, no one bullies you." ”

"Brother and sister, please do well, give my family Erlang a way to live. Let April talk to the son of the Hu family, will you let my Erlang go? April has a big ability, and he knows so many rich sons at a young age, and he can't compare with it, and the whole village can't compare with it. In April, Uncle Niang made a mistake in the past, and Uncle Niang kowtowed to you to admit her mistake. Please give Erlang a way to live, you go and talk to Hu Gongzi......"

Syllable!

The basin of water fell from the wall, and a basin of water was sprinkled on Yuan Xu's head, spilling her whole body and interrupting her nonsense.

"Why is the eldest aunt sitting at the door, like something. Erya, quickly help my eldest aunt back to the room and bring clean clothes. It's such a cold day, how can I get sick. ”

Sun Erya listened to April's words and forcibly helped Yuan Xu to walk into the house.

"I don't ......"

Yuan Xu struggled, but was dragged into the house by April with his mouth covered.

"Thank you for your concern!" April came out again, "My eldest aunt is worried about Brother Shuping these days, she doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long, she can't eat well and sleep, she has lost a lot of weight, and her spirit is not good." There's going to be a problem here. ”

She pointed to her head.

"My eldest aunt is obviously stimulated today, and she is a little crazy. For the sake of the countryside, please don't say it. My aunt wants face, if people outside know that she is crazy, she is afraid that she will not survive. ”

"In April, your aunt scolded you, and you still thought about her."

"April, do you and Hu Gongzi really know each other?"

"Yuan Erlang, is it true that you handed over the words, so you weren't selected?"

Listening to the villagers' discussions and questions, April suddenly laughed, "You guys are so deceitful!" ”
