Chapter 50: The Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate

Mother Li said gloomily: "As long as you have silver, someone will help you do whatever you want, if you want to see Zhao Hong's life become more and more prosperous, and enjoy the blessings of the children you gave birth to, just be a mother and never say anything." ”

Stuffed two copper coins to Li Yunjuan, and Li's mother sent people out of the house, for fear that they would be seen by the villagers, and their family would have to be driven out of the village.

Zhao Hong didn't know what was going on over there on Li Yunjuan's side, and he was woken up by the crying sound of the second day.

The dog leftovers sensibly cooked porridge and eggs, as well as a few wild vegetable nests sent by the Zhou family, and breakfast was nutritious and full.

After the meal, Zhou Xinghua came to the door and said to Zhao Hong: "There was a lot of trouble over there last night, and the village chief came forward to barely suppress it." Early this morning, Chrysanthemum and her stepmother were sent to the back mountain to be burned, and those who are not old and dead don't even have a cemetery, and they are alive and vengeful, and even ashes are together. ”

Zhou Xinghua said with emotion, but Zhao Hong frowned and sent a few small ones to play in the yard.

"What's going on? Isn't Chrysanthemum married? Zhao Hong asked.

"The man didn't mention that he beat his mother-in-law, but he said that Chrysanthemum's father cheated on marriage, and brought a lot of people to the door, and he didn't say that he was going to leave the dowry, and he also beat Chrysanthemum's father a few."

"The village chief doesn't care about their family's bad things and can't make our village embarrassed, so he summoned the people in the village to intercept the people, and asked for some silver for the chrysanthemum's family to see a doctor, and since then the two have been clear. Daddy Chrysanthemum felt that the two dead bodies at home were unlucky, and he didn't look at the auspicious day of the zodiac, so he carried them directly to the back mountain and burned them. ”

Zhou Xinghua's tone was obviously to join in the excitement, and she didn't have a good impression of that family, so naturally she wouldn't sympathize.

"Is it really Chrysanthemum who killed her stepmother?" Zhao Hong asked.

"Who knows, now that Chrysanthemum is dead, what are her father and those younger brothers and sisters talking about?" After Zhou Xinghua finished gossiping, she got up and said, "It's been a good day these two days, I have to go into the mountains to collect some medicine." Zhou Huo and his sisters' stalls are quite prosperous, so let them come over to reconcile with you in the evening. ”

Zhou Xinghua left in a hurry, not giving Zhao Hong a chance to speak at all.

After sitting in the house for a while, Zhao Hong called three small ones and prepared to take them to the temple to offer incense, and by the way, fulfill the promise with the chrysanthemum and light the lantern for the two of them.

Before he could go out, Zhao Fugui came to the door with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and said when he entered the house: "You should be careful these days, Chrysanthemum has come to you when she has an accident, and her father who has seen money may come to make trouble." Don't be afraid, if he dares to make a fuss, he will send a few small ones to me, and I can't get used to them. ”

"Don't worry, cousin, if I can't beat the finger, I'll have to find you to save the scene! Who made you the village head, you can't write two Zhao characters with this pen. Zhao Hong was not polite at all.

Zhao Fugui glared at Zhao Hong angrily, this cousin has the ability to do it, but she is really thick-skinned, and she won't even say a word of politeness.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hong didn't treat him as an outsider, Zhao Fugui felt more comfortable, and told Zhao Hong about the day set by the patriarch to give a few small genealogies, and he also talked about building a house.

"I don't understand this, cousin look at Zhang Luo. I don't have high requirements, just build a few rooms according to this, and fence the yard. If the silver is not enough, I can still take out twenty or thirty taels, this house is to live in for a lifetime, but I have to explain it. Zhao Hong gave Zhao Fugui the drawings he had drawn a long time ago.

There is a main house where Zhao Hong lives by himself, divided into a hall house and a back room, and three rooms are for three small ones, plus a guest room and a study, and a bright kitchen.

As for the thatched house, Zhao Hong decided to build it in the corner, which is provincial.

Now the old house is just right to be used as a warehouse, and it can be simply repaired without leaking rain.

Zhao Fugui thought that Zhao Hong's construction of so many rooms included Lin Yuan and Zhao Lingxiu, but he didn't ask much, but said: "If you want to build a big brick house, it's not enough, one room will cost ten taels of silver, and this hall will have two rooms." Unless the house is covered with a small dot, or covered with a green side. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hong went to the back room and took out another thirty taels of silver and handed it to Zhao Fugui.

"My cousin will follow the good cover, I know the silver in my heart, the big deal is to pay attention to the previous year, it is more cost-effective than tearing down the heavy cover in the future." Zhao Hong clapped his head.

One hundred and eighty taels of silver is not much for Zhao Hong, but she doesn't want to cause trouble, so she wants to keep a low profile, otherwise she has to build a courtyard.

Although Zhao Fugui was surprised that Zhao Hong had saved the silver so quickly, he didn't ask much, but just said: "What, Zhao Ling wants to learn from you how to concoct medicinal materials, do you think she can win?" This girl is also a strong seed, after the last incident, I have to say that I want to learn from her cousin and be a capable woman, I scolded her for several days and couldn't listen. ”

Seeing that Zhao Fugui's brows could kill flies, Zhao Hong snorted: "This girl is like the bloodline of our Zhao family, why can't the girl's family be a capable person?" When she can make money and support her family, whether she is married or recruited, she is not afraid of being bullied, and she can provide for you like a son, you will be content with such a daughter! ”

Zhao Fugui obviously didn't think about it that way, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed brightly and slapped the table several times.

"It's my thought that I am wrong, the daughter of our Zhao family is not interested in wiping her tears from the sky, this girl is like her cousin, you are a good thing, a good thing!" Zhao Fugui got up and said with a smile: "I forgot to ask you, are you going out?" It just so happens that I want to set a car to go to the kiln factory to order bricks and tiles for you, and how many sections will I take your mother? ”

"That's a good dare, my old arms and legs really don't understand." Zhao Hong immediately shouted three small ones and followed Zhao Fugui out together.

Shen also went to join in the fun, it was good to buy some salt for the family, and the province walked to the market.

The cattle of the countrymen are expensive, and although the village chief's family raises cattle, they are reluctant to use them often, for fear of being tired.

But listening to Zhao Hong say that he wanted to light the lantern for Chrysanthemum and her mother, Zhao Fugui was not afraid to call the old cow, so he directly sent a few people to the temple first, and kept saying that Zhao Hong was doing good deeds and accumulating virtue along the way.

However, it was said that after Zhao Hong and the Shen family arrived at the temple, after donating the sesame oil money, a monk lit an ever-bright lamp, and brought a few small incense to worship the Buddha, and after asking for a peace charm, Zhao Hong was ready to leave, but he didn't want to be blocked by a small novice.

"Female benefactor, please stay, there is a distinguished guest who said that he is your old friend and wants to catch up with you, just in the gazebo over there." After pointing in the direction, the little novice recited the Buddha's name and retired.

Seeing this, Shen said: "I took the three of them over there to see the lotus flowers, I heard that there are a lot of carp in it, if you can see the fish leaping over the dragon gate, you will have good luck." ”

Zhao Hong nodded, and the three little ones left with the Shen family.

Looking in the direction of the pavilion, Zhao Hong looked at the backs of the people inside, but he couldn't recognize who it was for a while.

But thinking that the ancients believed in gods and Buddhas, they should not harm people in the temple, so they strode away.

"The carp jumps over the dragon gate, a mud-legged man also has such thoughts, and he is not afraid of breaking the luck of a lifetime, which is really ridiculous!" Zhao Hong had only climbed half of the steps when he heard a sarcastic female voice coming from inside.
