Chapter 3 The family is unfortunate
"Your brother is looking for trouble again today, isn't he?" Zhang Shanren asked Zhang Yang.
"Don't worry, if he dares to come next time, I'll break his dog's leg." As soon as Zhang Yang's brother mentioned this younger brother, he hated that iron could not become steel.
Speaking of Yang Dawu, Zhang Shanren was very annoyed, he originally married Zhang Yang's family, which had already made the family restless, but he didn't expect that her younger brother would be even more evil, a bastard. If he hadn't had a marriage contract with the Yang family, how could he have gotten into the mouth of a tiger and let the children suffer such grievances.
"Did the Xu family see this? People still say they want to get out of the marriage? β
Zhang Yangshi hurriedly explained: "What kind of divorce, these are all angry words said by the children." Another day, I'll take a pig to slaughter, go to Xu's house to apologize, and it'll be fine. β
"Well, that's fine." Zhang Shanren nodded and agreed, after all, his daughter's marriage is a major event in the family. In terms of Zhang Zezhen's appearance and personality, it is already good to have a son to marry.
"That is, our family is beautiful and smart, and it is a blessing for their family to marry her." The second child hurriedly complimented A-Niang's words.
Zhang Yangshi listened, and a smile appeared on his face. looked at his lovely daughter and sandwiched another piece of pork for her.
Zhang Zezhen saw the fat and greasy pork in front of her, and she couldn't say anything bitter in her heart. Before his father died, he was the chef of a five-star hotel, and the braised pork he made was a must-have in the restaurant, and such boiled pork was incomparable.
So she deliberately slowed down the pace of eating and waited for the opportunity.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the meal finally ended peacefully.
Zhang Yang got up and went back to the room, and the rest of the mess was cleaned up by three daughters-in-law.
At this time, San Lang walked in, cautiously probed the probe, and saw that Zhang Yang's was not there, so he took half a piece of leftover steamed buns from the table and ran.
Because only Zhang Zezhen had extra pork in her bowl, and everyone else ate it all, San Lang didn't dare to offend the old girl, just looked at it.
Zhang Zezhen knew very well that this steamed bun was given to his aunt who had not eaten.
So she also followed into the kitchen, saw Guo's, took the initiative to hand over a piece of pork that had not been touched in the bowl, and said, "Third sister-in-law, the meat is reserved for you, I haven't touched it!" β
Guo Shi was a little shocked when he saw the pork sent by Zhang Zezhen, and hurriedly refused: "Little sister, I'm not hungry, I don't eat, this is what my mother left for you to nourish your body, I just have this half of a steamed bun." β
Zhang Zezhen used to be arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable, but now how has he become reasonable? Could it be that there is fraud in it? Guo didn't dare to offend this little ancestor.
"It's okay, third sister-in-law, I've put it here, you can eat it quickly."
After speaking, Zhang Zezhen walked to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law again and asked, "Is there anything you need help with?" β
"No, no, you go back and rest, this is enough for us." Fu Shi hurriedly responded.
Zhang Zezhen can also understand everyone's incomprehension, after all, prejudices cannot be subverted in a day, they can only be changed slowly.
Bored, she wanders around, wanting to know more about the life of the original owner.
In ancient times, due to the hard life, commoners only ate one or two meals on weekdays, but today they ate pork at noon, and dinner was naturally free.
Zhang Zezhen returned to the room, looked at herself in front of her from the mirror, thought about it, and pondered the reason for her crossing.
Although this is ancient, there are various indications that it is not exactly the same as the ancient in history, which means that you may have traveled to a parallel universe.
She vaguely remembered that at the moment she fell, an old monk passed by with a bowl in his hand, he turned his head and smiled at himself, and then a light flashed in front of him, and he fainted.
The more Zhang Zezhen thought about it, the more she had a headache, and she got up and prepared to change her clothes and go to bed.
When he took off his coat, a piece of jade pendant fell from his body, Zhang Zezhen bent down to pick it up, and was surprised to find that this jade pendant was engraved with a "bowl".
β¦β¦
The night is getting dark, and the boss of the north room is in the room.
There was a black figure hiding in the corner.
At this time, Zhang Zelei walked out of the room, looked around, saw that there was no one, and quietly walked over.
"How's it going, did you get it?" The man asked softly.
"Got it." Zhang Zelei handed the man a piece of paper stuffed in his sleeve.
"Great!"
"So I can pay it off, right?"
"Don't worry, not only can you pay it off, but it will also allow you to return to your capital!"
Zhang Zelei smiled happily when he heard this, "Then I'm sorry for you!" β
"It's a small thing, it's gone!"
Early the next morning, the men are ready to go out to work, and the women begin to tidy up the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang would get up early for a walk and ask their sons a few words by the way.
"What about Zareeth? Why don't you see others when you eat? Isn't it possible to make the whole family wait for him to eat? Zhang Shanren questioned Fu.
"Daddy, he went out before dawn."
"Bastard, where's he?" As soon as Zhang Yangshi heard about his unfortunate son, he was displeased.
"Father, mother, daughter-in-law don't know?" Fu Shi was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Humph! Useless things, even your husband can't control them, what else can you expect to do? Zhang Yang scolded.
Fu Shi burst into tears in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you may have a good job, by the way, did the eldest brother say anything before he went out?" Zhang Zezhen helped Fu Shi up and said with relief.
"No, I never dared to ask about your eldest brother."
Seeing her sister-in-law's nervous expression, Zhang Zezhen realized that she must have something to hide. Then he asked again: "Sister-in-law, do you have something to hide from your family?" β
"No, no!" Fu's expression was even more flustered.
Zhang Yangshi slapped the table directly: "Honestly, what did Zareth do?" Don't say I'll kill you! β
He ...... He gambles. Fu Shi said these two words tremblingly.
What? The whole family was shocked by these two words.
"How did he go back to gambling, where did he get the money? Tell me all the causes and consequences! Zhang Shanren was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Fu kept crying, and Huaye couldn't say clearly.
"Smack!"
"Don't cry! I'll make it clear to my mother, otherwise you will get out of Zhang's house! β
Zhang Yang's went up and slapped Fu's face, and the five red palm prints instantly appeared.
"Mother! I was wrong, I shouldn't have hidden it from you and my father! β
"Sister-in-law, talk about things quickly, don't cry yet!" Zhang Zezhen looked at her anxiously, the ancient rural women were really delayed.
Everyone else was too frightened to speak, and the children hid in their parents' arms, but Da Lang hid behind his aunt, knowing that his mother could no longer protect him.
Everyone knows very well that once a person is involved in gambling, he will go bankrupt, and his life at home will become more and more difficult in the future, not to mention eating meat, not even pickles, and he will have to be chased by creditors every day to collect debts.
"Last year, under the lure of Yang Dawu, my husband was obsessed with dice, and since then he has been out of control, at the beginning, it was all a small fight, watching a lively, and then he played more and more, and he really had no money, so he asked his uncle to borrow money."
When Zhang Yangshi heard that his younger brother was causing trouble, he was so angry that he couldn't even breathe. kept shouting: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!" β
"And what the hell was he doing this morning?" As soon as Zhang Zezhen's words came out, he heard a "bang" outside the door.
There was a man shouting, "Dad, mother save me!" Save me! β
When I walked out, this person was Zhang Zelei, his hands were tied, and there were four people beside him, wearing black coats and holding knives in their hands.
"Official!"
"Lady, I'm sorry! Save me! Save me! β
"We're here to collect the house!" One of the men said.
Zhang Zezhen looked at the second elder, and then at the brother and sister-in-law, everyone was confused. He asked, "What house?" What does it have to do with the house when you owe money to pay it back? β
"He owed 100 yuan to the gambling house, and he had no money to pay it back, so he mortgaged the house to us."
"100 times!" After Zhang Shanren heard this, he fainted directly.
Zhang Zezhen hurriedly stepped forward to support her father, and then instructed the second and third sisters-in-law to send him to the room to rest first, and she would find a way to do it here.
She had done her homework before, and in ancient times, 1 guan of money was equal to 1,000 wen, which was also equivalent to 1 tael of silver. 100 guan is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Zhang Yangshi shouted angrily: "My life is in the house, and if you want to take the house, step on me." β
"We just need money and don't want to die!" Then one person took out the title deed of the Zhang family from his cuff and continued: "This is the title deed, if we don't leave, we will report to the official." β
"Title deeds? How can it be in your hands? Zhang Yang couldn't believe it.
"Your son gave it!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang's family stared at this beast son viciously, wanting to kill him, "Say! What's going on with this title deed? β
"Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I stole it out of your second elder's room yesterday while you were resting!"
"Big brother, you are confused, you are forcing us to think of us!" The second child sat down on the ground.
"You, you son of a, what kind of sin did I create to give birth to such a thing as you!" After speaking, Zhang Yangshi cried.
Zhang Zezhen looked at these four people, although they all had knives in their hands, they were not fierce and vicious, they should just act on orders.
"Four big brothers, as long as we pay back the 100 yuan, you can return the title deed."
"Of course, we are debt collectors, not robbers!" The man replied to Zhang Zezhen briskly.
"Then can you give us some time, after all, this 100 is not a small amount, you look at the situation of my family, so much money, how can you take it out at once?"
"Girl, it's not that we are ruthless, everyone knows that Zhang Zelei is the old man of the casino, and his words are not credible!"
Zhang Zezhen didn't expect this big brother to look like a dog on the outside, but he was so unbearable in his bones. But after all, he is his mother's son, and he can't stand idly by.
"Four big brothers, it takes time to move, and we don't have much preparation for your sudden visit, so why don't we go back and accommodate your master and give us a time to move."
The man in charge thought for a moment and asked, "How many days do you need?" β
Zhang Zezhen wanted to delay time, so he said, "In this way, the four eldest brothers haven't eaten yet, right?" I just slaughtered a pig at home, and I'll decide after eating, how about it? β
"This ......" The four of them looked at each other, at a loss.
"Just have a meal, what do you have to worry about? The title deeds are all in your hands, are you afraid that we will not be able to escape the debt? β
The four of them were right when they thought about it, so they said, "I don't dare to do any tricks." β
After that, they let Zhang Zelei go, and Zhang Zezhen took them to the room to sit down, and beckoned the sister-in-law to serve tea and pour water, so that they could entertain them.
"Mother, mother, I was wrong, I will definitely honor you in the future, buy you a big house, you will forgive me!" Zhang Zelei ran to Zhang Yang's and kowtowed to apologize.
"Smack......
Zhang Yangshi slapped his eldest son fiercely, making Zhang Zelei's brain go straight to the ground.
"Get out! Don't let the old lady see you again, or I'll chop your legs! β
