Uncle He frowned and slowly agreed.

After he left, Chen shook his head with He Laosan: "This child, I still don't understand." ”

"What's wrong with his errand? This period has been resting at home. He Laosan asked.

Chen shook his head: "Because people are panicking during this time, many coolies in the coal pit who were abducted and trafficked before have died of illness, some have escaped, and some people have taken advantage of the chaos and stolen a lot of coal out, which is simply a mess, and their group of foremen have basically been exempted from errands!" Miwa was not spared...... He secretly transported good coal to his home several times in the past few days, and you didn't see it! ”

Chen said secretly.

He Laosan sighed for a long time: "For his errand, our father doesn't know how many people he begged grandpa and grandma, and how much silver he took to become a small foreman!" I told him that the advantage is not easy to take advantage of, and he just won't listen......"

"He said that people are smuggling it outside, and this coal is now expensive, and he will be a fool if he doesn't transport it!" Chen Shi was also very frightened and said: "He is too bold, fortunately he went home with all his beards and tails, how can the person who opened the coal pit be so good!" ”

"It's a lot of chaos in there, I often hear that many people are abducted and trafficked there to work as coolies, and they can't live that day, they can't eat enough, and they will be whipped when they don't get ...... when they don't like it."

"Who cares!" Chen also sighed: "This coolie has crossed the clear road, who doesn't know about the eight villages in this square area, but who dares to say it!" When I was in my mother's house, I heard my father say that most of our people here are ancestors who live here, and when they see the coolies who escaped from the coal pit, they will not help, but will take the initiative to inform the manager of the coal pit! It was when I was a child, but I have been relieved in the past few years, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to take in our family of three! ”

What Chen said was the current situation of the coal kiln at this time.

He Laosan also saw the big one since he was a child, but he only had no ability to change.

He shook his head and comforted himself: "The baby smuggled things, and if she can come back well, she will be successful, let's not ask for more!" ”

"Well, the dozen or so truckloads of coal he stole are still hidden in the cave behind the lime kiln village, this is high-grade coal, it is said that it is very rarely produced, even if it is lit, how can it smoke, the rich and noble love to use, it is estimated that it can be sold for one hundred and eighty taels of silver, even if there is no livelihood for a while, but it can also get by!"

He Laosan frowned: "Since the profit is high, I'm afraid that the main family is still staring at it, or let the baby go back?" ”

"He'll give it back to you!" Chen was helpless: "Miwa has always felt that she was dismissed and wronged, and she feels that with these coals, it can be regarded as some compensation!" Besides, if you really go back, you also heard what you said earlier, doesn't it confirm that our family stole coal! Zao'er also makes sense, the law does not blame the public, so many foremen and stewards have stolen, as long as we follow the trend, we can't be punished together! ”

He Laosan nodded.

That was said, but he was still very uneasy.

The next day, I went to see and inquire about the news of the two major coal pits in the town, and saw that there was really no intention of pursuing it, and the town was recruiting a new foreman, but it was very lively, and countless people were squeezing their heads into it, and no one could care about the small foremen who were dismissed before.

He Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and was slightly relieved.

In fact, his worries were unreasonable.

He had already analyzed it carefully, and then told them that there was no need for Uncle He to return the coal.

So many people died in the coal pit, all because the living conditions of those coolies were too poor, if the matter really got bigger, the miserable situation of these coolies would be in front of people's eyes, which the owners of the coal mines did not want to see.

Therefore, they did not want to make a big deal and the coal was smuggled, so they just fired some of the foremen, deducted the wages of the month, and did nothing else.

Uncle He went to the old house two days later, and told the old man that Lian Zhenzhen was happy with the good news, and the former was immediately excited as if he was much younger, and his waist bent down and straightened up again, and his face was full of red light: "Go, I'll go with you to meet your daughter-in-law!" ”

He Laosan also saw such an old man He later, and he was a little stunned for a while.

It seems that there is a big treasure in his room, and the old man is so happy, and then Chen's birth, and the old man He is also very bland.

It was the first time in so many years that he was so happy.

He Laosan sent a jar of good wine in the evening, and Old Man He pulled a few brothers and chattered about Uncle He's childhood.

Mrs. He was so angry that she slapped the table in the room.

Uncle He went to the county seat the next day to report the good news.

However, he came back in less than the afternoon, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he came to He Sanfang's house first, no matter who was in the house, it was directly a sentence: "In the future, we will not be with the Lian family, and Zhenzhen will not have a mother's family!" ”

Chen and several of the children were taken aback.

But just look at what he looks like.

He was wronged in the Lian family, and there were two scars at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

It's like someone punched me.

He Zao blinked and concluded that the uncle went to his father-in-law's house, but not only was he not accepted, but he was also beaten by fat.

After Uncle He said this, he rushed away angrily.

Chen was stunned for a long time before he reacted: "We will also leave for the county seat in the next few days, let's go to see your little aunt tonight." ”

They all nodded in response.

Chen Shicai shook his head again and sighed: "Your uncle's temper is ......"

In the evening, they went to visit Lian Zhenzhen, but the other party was not sad at all, of course, it may have been sad, but there was no half red in the corners of his eyes, and there was no trace of crying on his face, just a bowl of sliced cucumbers, a green onion, and a bowl of small rice to eat with relish.

When he saw someone come in, he hurriedly gave up his seat.

Chen looked at it and frowned: "This millet looks like it was left over at noon, is it hot, and it doesn't smell hot!" ”

Lian Zhenzhen hurriedly waved her hands and bared her teeth, looked outside, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no movement, and smiled: "He is angry, this meal has always been warm by the fire, it is not cold, it can be eaten!" ”

Chen Shi also lowered his voice: "Then why don't you fry a hot dish, didn't I send so much meat yesterday, this weather, put it in the well, it won't be bad!" You should eat more meat. ”

Lian Zhenzhen hurriedly shook her head: "Don't eat that, I just said that I wanted to stir-fry, and before I took the pot, he smashed the pot!" The meat was also stomped to a pulp and thrown out to feed the dogs! I'll just eat this pickled cucumber slice! Eat something sour and crispy, and your heart will be comfortable! ”

He Zao and He Chun'er followed behind Chen, and when they heard such words, they couldn't help it anymore and were dumbfounded!

This aunt's temper is too submissive!

In other words, Uncle bullied you so much, you are a pregnant woman, your appetite is still so good, eating leftovers and pickles, can you still feel comfortable?
