Chapter 9: Helping Your Own Family

Du Peony looked at her clothes and hair a little messy, Yuhe was worse than her, but Sun didn't have any worries and slapped a lot.

Jiang Xiaoming lay on the ground and looked lifeless, just now Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were fists to the flesh, and they dared to covet their sister, they should be beaten.

Du Peony turned his head to see his son lying on the ground, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and cried heartbreakingly: "Ah, I'm going to fight with you!" ”

After speaking, he found the direction of Xiao Wang's who was standing on the side and rushed to it, the Jiang family was frightened, some people protected Xiao Wang's body, and some people ran in the direction of Du Peony to stop her.

The child in Xiao Wang's belly is only four months old, and if he is allowed to hit like that, it is difficult to say whether he can keep it.

Jiang Zhiyue was angry in her heart, grabbed the little Wang next to her, and then kicked at Du Peony who hit her.

With a 'bang', Du Peony fell to the ground and stirred up the dust on the ground.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't have the strength to kick someone just now, how lethal this kick was, you can imagine how lethal it was, Du Peony crooked on the ground and coughed several times and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The onlookers were so frightened by Jiang Zhiyue's fierce behavior that they took two steps back, and the crowd fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the sound of wheels rolling and a voice that sounded exceptionally excited.

"Why are they all around, milk, my eldest brother and I have brought two carts, let's pull more food back at the money-losing goods there." It was Jiang Xiaoming's second son Jiang Jiangmao who shouted.

The crowd was silent, and Jiang Zhiyue sneered and looked at the three people lying on the ground in different postures.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and Jiang Jiangmao and his eldest brother Jiang Jiangsheng walked in with a cart.

The onlookers looked at the two carts pushed by the Jiang brothers, and they had mixed feelings, what did they think, they even pushed two carts, and it is estimated that the Jiang family will have no food after the two carts are pulled.

can only say that the Sun family's mother's family is really shameless, and it's not wrong to beat them!

When the Jiang brothers saw Jiang Xiaoming foaming at the mouth lying on the ground, Yuhe whose face was swollen by a fan, and Du Peony who still had blood at the corner of his mouth, he was stunned.

The two put down the cart and rushed over to help Jiang Xiaoming, who was closest to him, up.

"Dad, what's going on, why are you being beaten like this." Jiang Jiangsheng shook Jiang Xiaoming's head and asked.

Jiang Xiaoming's brain began to hurt as soon as he wanted to speak, so he had to close his mouth, but Jiang Jiangsheng kept shaking, and he fainted directly with a roll of his eyes.

"Lose money, my father came to you to get food, he was beaten at the door of your house, why don't you stop it." Jiang Jiangsheng couldn't ask anything, and threw his anger at Sun.

The two brothers of the Jiang family have not met the Sun family a few times, and it is also uncommon for them to call her so arrogant that she loses money and goods.

Sun spat on the ground: "Bah, if he doesn't faint, I can give him two more slaps." ”

Jiang Jiangmao looked at Sun in disbelief, and said angrily: "You money-loser, you are really a conscienceless person like what my grandmother said." ”

Sun Shi rolled his eyes at him, listening to what he said, there was no wave in his heart, if she still longed for that little family affection before, she would still be sad, but now she has figured it out, she will live a good life in the Jiang family.

"Oh grandma's baby grandson, it's his family who beat us, you two quickly avenge your father." Du Peony lay on the ground and shouted.

The two of them suddenly rushed to their hearts with enthusiasm, and rushed towards Sun without thinking.

In their hearts, Sun is a money-loser who is beaten and scolded, and she definitely doesn't dare to fight back.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly scolded a fool in her heart, and said to Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang: "Big brother and second brother, give them two a lesson, don't be disabled, the three on the ground will have to be pulled back by them in a while." ”

"Let them also increase their memory, what will happen to insulting our family at the door of our Jiang family."

She also supported the frightened little Wang, otherwise she would have to teach them a lesson herself, but she also happened to look at the recent training of her eldest brother and second brother.

"Okay." Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang glanced at each other, clenched their fists and walked to the opposite side of the Jiang brothers, and after a while, the two of them were beaten and screamed, and kept begging for mercy.

The two brothers of the Jiang family were beaten up and became a lot more honest, and they were very cowardly and moved very slowly, and at the request of the Jiang family, they lifted Jiang Xiaoming and the three of them to the board car and pushed them away.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, and some people who wanted to take the opportunity to 'borrow' some food from the Jiang family also pressed their minds.

Old Man Jiang stood up and said, "If the big guy has nothing to do, he will disperse, and if there are too many housework, he won't leave everyone for tea." ”

After speaking, he followed Jiang into the courtyard behind the Jiang family, and the gate closed to cut off the view from the outside.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Jiang thought about the situation just now, and said with some sorrow: "There are still people in our family who want to come to the door to grab food, but your father's family has few people, and I don't know if there is anything wrong." ”

She is talking about Xiao Wang's father, Wang Fugui, who is also her eldest brother.

The Wang family's heirs were thin, so her mother gave birth to her eldest brother and her two children, and her sister-in-law also went early, leaving Xiao Wang and another son, Wang Fengshou.

When it comes to Wang Fengshou, the heir is even thinner, and now there is only one child Wang Hao under his knees, so now the Wang family has four people.

There is no one in the family town, and the villagers must have seen it when they collected the grain, so what if there was an accident......

Jiang Zhiyue thought about the current situation and proposed: "If you don't pick them up first, we can still live in the crowd." ”

Anyway, it won't be long before the people can wait for the government to open a warehouse to release grain, and it is estimated that there will be chaos in a few days.

She looked at her mother-in-law Zhang again and asked, "Mother, let's go to grandma's house in a while, and tell them about the current situation to see what they plan." ”

"Okay." Zhang said, and a big stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

Although her mother's family is not small, if the people in the village really think about it, they may not be able to stop it.

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyue told everyone about the situation she saw in the county again, and said: "I think the imperial court should not be concerned about the situation here for a while, and we must be ready to leave at any time." ”

Everyone nodded solemnly.

didn't have time to rest, Jiang Yulai immediately went out to Wangjia Village, and Jiang Zhiyue also went to Zhangjia Village with Zhang's family.

When Jiang Zhiyue came back in the evening, the courtyard was lively, and there were a few fresh faces, it seemed that Jiang Yulai had brought the people over there back.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyue and Zhang's return, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, what did your mother say?" ”

Zhang said: "I told my mother, they said that if there is any situation, they will definitely come to us, so don't worry." ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Old Mrs. Jiang patted her heart and said.

Then he continued: "The third child came back earlier than you, there are few of them, and they are afraid that something will happen, so when they saw the third child go to call to pack up their things, they immediately followed." ”

"That's good, no matter what happens, we'll be fine." Zhang answered with a smile.

More than 10 days have passed since the locust plague, and under the pacification of the county order, the mood of the people has gradually stabilized from the initial panic.

However, there is still no news that the warehouse will be opened and the grain will be released, but another major event has happened.

An earthquake struck the north of King Changding's fiefdom, affecting two counties, and causing even more casualties.

The successive disasters made the panic in the hearts of the people intensify, and they ran to the county seat again to ask the county order to open the warehouse and release grain, and finally the officials killed a few people who took the lead in making trouble before they could barely suppress the matter.

But the resentment in the hearts of the people has risen to a higher level, and it has taken root and sprouted in the bottom of their hearts.

After waiting for so long, many people realized that the imperial court might not open a warehouse to release grain at all, and began to go to the grain store to buy grain.

But now the price of grain is also one price a day, and brown rice, which originally cost only a dozen wen a catty, now costs thirty wen to buy.

In order to survive, no matter how high the price is, there are many people who buy grain, but some people are struggling to support it, thinking that the court will definitely not ignore them.

The news of the soaring food price spread all over the surrounding villages and towns, and everyone in Jiangjia Village naturally knew about it.

The food in the town has become more expensive, and there are not those who have collected the food in advance!

They hit the idea on these families who had collected their grain in advance.

The Hengrong family didn't dare to make up their minds, and his family only received half of the grain, so after thinking about it, they finally hit Jiang Zhiyue's house.

"Jiang Xiucai's family didn't have to pay taxes in previous years, and this year they collected the grain of these acres of land, how can the people in his family eat so much food, if you want me to say, we are all villagers in the township, he should help us out." Jiang Huzi, who was standing under the big tree at the head of the village, said.

There are two major households in Jiangjia Village, surnamed Jiang and Jiang, but the households surnamed Jiang moved over later, and there are a few other surnames that moved later.

When the people around him heard him say this, they knew that he shouldn't have heard about what happened in Jiang's house yesterday, otherwise how would he dare to fight such an idea.

Someone immediately said to him: "Jiang Xiucai's family is not easy to mess with, yesterday the Sun family's mother's family came over to ask for some food, but they were all beaten away, and the girl of the Jiang family is also powerful, and she kicked everyone away." ”

"Who in our village doesn't know that the Sun family has long been cut off from her mother's family, but we have been with their villagers for decades, so we can't not give this little face." Jiang Huzi didn't take what he said to heart, and there were more people who went, did his family dare not take out the grain?

Some people think that Jiang Huzi's words make sense, anyway, Jiang Xiucai's family can't finish the food, so why don't you take it out and give it to them.

As soon as a few people hit it off, they were going to Jiang's house to force them to hand over the grain.

A large group of people walked towards Jiang's house, and many people were attracted on the way.

It's been a few days, and every household has not had much food, if Jiang Xiucai's family gives them food, why should they give them points that meet people.

So more and more people gathered, and when they arrived in front of Jiang's house, the number of people had reached nearly 100.

When they just passed by Hengrong's house, Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law inquired about the situation, she told Jiang Hengrong about it, and said: "Let them only care about their own lives and not let the big guys collect the grain, they deserve to rob his family's food." ”

She had forgotten when she said this, but they didn't want to believe it, so they confiscated the food.

Jiang Hengrong crossed Erlang's legs and glanced out, but didn't say anything.

There were a few loud bangs, and the door of Jiang's house was knocked on tremblingly, Jiang Zhiyue stood up and opened the door, only to see the crowd blocked outside the door.

In the past two days, Jiang Zhiyue took a few Lang of the Jiang family to the mountains to catch a lot of prey and came back, planning to smoke and roast and store them.

When she opened the door, she was holding a kitchen knife that had just cut meat.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhiyue glanced coldly at the crowd outside, but she had already guessed in her heart what they were here for.

The person who knocked on the door saw the shiny kitchen knife in Jiang Zhiyue's hand, and thought of the incident where she kicked people away yesterday, so he was so frightened that he took two steps back, and said hesitantly: "Jiang... Jiang Huzi said that he was looking for you for something. ”

After speaking, he flashed to the side, revealing Jiang Huzi behind him.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Zhiyue looked at the triangular eyes in front of her, and the man who didn't look as tall as her asked.

Jiang Huzi tilted his head and said with an arrogant face: "What about the man in your family, let a woman come out to talk, I will discuss the matter of food with your father." ”

As he spoke, he held his head high and wanted to enter from Jiang Zhiyue's side.

Jiang Zhiyue's face sank, and she raised the kitchen knife in her hand and put it across his neck.

Feeling the cold touch coming from his neck, Jiang Huzi was so frightened that he stopped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva carefully.

He took half a step back, Jiang Zhiyue's hand also stretched forward, the sharp blade cut through his skin, and tiny beads of blood rolled down his neck.

Jiang Huzi was so frightened that he didn't dare to move anymore, but his body kept shaking like a sieve.

"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, take the knife down first." Jiang Huzi cried and lost his face, and some regretted standing in front of him, he should have fanned the flames in the crowd, and when the time came, they would not be able to fight so many people.

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at the blade attached to Jiang Huzi's skin with disgust, and she had to wash this knife well for a while, otherwise she couldn't use it.

She took the knife back, and when she saw that Jiang Huzi wanted to run back into the crowd, she helped him and kicked him out.

"Why, you're all coming to us for the same thing as him?" Jiang Zhiyue swept her gaze over the crowd one by one.

The person she was targeting felt a cold neck, and quickly shook his head and took a few steps back from the crowd.

There are still many people who are still standing there, although they are afraid, they also think that the Jiang family really does not take so many of them.

A middle-aged man in the crowd with a flattering smile on his face said: "The locust plague has passed for so long, and everyone's family is a little green, you see, can you help a little." ”

He didn't dare to treat Jiang Zhiyue, the girl as one of those women in the family, this girl Jiang family spoiled, and she was also powerful.

"Looks like everyone has forgotten what I said." Jiang Zhiyue said casually.

As soon as she reminded her, many people remembered what she said at the beginning: If you can't borrow food when the time comes, don't say that our family doesn't talk about the township.

Some people looked pale, how did they know what kind of locust plague would really happen at that time.

But some people felt that this thing was not done by the Jiang family, and a woman in the crowd said: "Everyone is a person who eats in the soil, how can you understand those words, if Jiang Xiucai says a few more words, we will definitely listen to him." ”

"That's right, I think you just can't see the good of the villagers, so you say half hide half and half of it, and now the big guy is going to be hungry, so your family has to take out the food and give us a share." It was the Zhou family who spoke who did not deal with the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhiyue sneered, and the other people who came out of the courtyard were also surprised when they heard this, what a tender face!
