The concubine was hit by Zhang Yuying unexpectedly, and she couldn't tear the boy apart. She immediately screamed: "Qiu Ling! Qiu Ling! Come and help!"
When niece Qiu Ling came out of the house and saw her aunt being beaten, she immediately grabbed a broom from the wall and hit Zhang Yuying in the face.
When Hong Xiao and Zhang Xiaolang saw their brother being grabbed and beaten by two women, they put aside their fear and rushed over to push Qiu Ling.
Just like that, several people started fighting.
But Zhang Yuying was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Hong Xiao was only nine years old. The two of them could not beat two adult women at all.
Zhang Xiaolang was only a five-year-old child. He wanted to push his aunt away, but he was too small and was slapped by his aunt and sent far away. He couldn't get up for a long time.
When Zhang Jia, who was lying on the door panel, saw this scene, he became furious. He suddenly got up from the ground, stumbled towards the concubine, grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground.
The concubine screamed in fear and rolled to the side. Qiu Ling was almost frightened to death and almost shouted that she was dead.
"You two..." Zhang Jia was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He had used up all his strength in his anger and fell to the ground with his head tilted, fainting.
Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying rushed over and pinched him.
At this time, Zhang Yukun came back from outside and saw his father lying straight on the ground. Thinking he was dead, he rushed over, knelt on the ground, and cried desperately.
Zhang Yuying said unhappily: "Stop crying! Let's find a doctor to see Dad." Before, he thought that his elder brother had gone to find a doctor for Dad, but now seeing that he came back alone, he knew that his elder brother did nothing.
Zhang Yukun wiped his tears and was about to nod when he heard his wife Qiu Ling moaning from behind him: "Ouch, Dalang, my stomach hurts so much."
Zhang Yukun turned his head and saw Qiu Ling sitting on the ground, crying out: "My stomach hurts so much, Ouch, Dalang, your brother or sister just hit me in the stomach."
"What?" Zhang Yukun was anxious. He ran over and picked up his wife: "I'll take you to see a doctor." After that, he ran out quickly.
When the concubine saw Zhang Yukun leaving, she said to him and Hong Xiao fiercely, "Just wait here. If anything happens to my niece, I will make you pay with your lives!"
Then he turned around and walked towards Zhang Xiaolang, picked up the broom and hit him: "You little bastard! You actually helped outsiders bully your mother, I will beat you to death!"
Zhang Xiaolang ran out of the yard quickly and ran to Jiang's specialty shop. He grabbed Jiang Yunniang and cried, "Mom, Dad is dying. They are bullying my brothers and sisters. Please go and take a look."
Jiang Yunniang was tidying up the yard and preparing to set up the mushroom shed again. When she heard Xiaolang say this, she immediately put down the bamboo in her hand and hurried outside.
Yingbao and Erni were also packing up. Seeing how worried their aunt was, they took out three more bottles of medicine and handed them to her: "Aunt, take this."
I don’t know if he can be cured, but I can guarantee that he won’t die today.
Jiang Yunniang took the small porcelain bottle, looked at her little niece with gratitude, turned around and ran out.
Xiao Lang also ran out.
Erni bent down to pick up the scattered bamboo poles and said to her little cousin, "Aunt is really something. That man treated her so badly, but she still wanted to save him. If it were me, I would let him die! Humph!"
Yingbao didn't quite understand why her aunt was so kind, but when she thought about the fact that the man was Hongxiao and Zhang Yuying's biological father, she began to understand a little.
Didn’t I send the medicine to my aunt because Zhang Jia is Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying’s biological father
By noon, my aunt and Hong Xiao had not returned yet. Jiang Cheng was worried, so he asked his two cousins to look after the shop while he went to check on Zhang Jia's house.
There was an occasional drizzle outside, and the ground was covered with mud from yesterday's rain.
Yingbao and Erni sat at the counter, looking outside boredly and observing the people passing by the door.
Suddenly, Zhang Min ran in and said mysteriously to Ying Bao, "Junior Sister, let me tell you something. Today, many fishermen ran to Pei Shixian, kowtowed to him and worshipped him, calling him the Heavenly Master."
Yingbao wasn't surprised at all.
Isn't this exactly what Pei Shixian wanted? "Master is also a Heavenly Master, much more powerful than that fake Heavenly Master."
Zhang Min glanced at his junior sister and asked, "When has Master ever been called Heavenly Master?"
"Anyway, Master is the most powerful Heavenly Master!" Even if no one calls him that now, he will make others call him Heavenly Master in the future.
She was willing to take risks to deify her master, otherwise, there was no guarantee that the fake master would say something shocking to frame her and her family.
Zhang Min shook his head, sat down on the stool that Erni had brought over, looked around, and asked, "Are these the only things you have at home?"
He didn't say anything. How could the shop survive with just these things
Yingbao: "It's the off-season now, so my shop sells some of our own fruits and vegetables. Business will pick up in the fall."
She could get more than two thousand taels of silver at the end of every year, not including the money she earned from selling pills, so she was very content.
Zhang Min looked inside the counter: "Fruits? Where are they?"
"My second cousin hasn't come back yet." There was a storm yesterday, and many sections of the road down the south slope must have been flooded. I guess my second cousin couldn't drive the carriage out, so he didn't come back.
Zhang Min nodded: "Your grapes are very good. Master likes them very much. He asked me to come over to buy some today, but I didn't expect that they haven't arrived yet."
The two chatted for a while before Zhang Min said goodbye and left.
In the evening, Yingbao and Erni fixed the door of the shop before their eldest cousin and her aunt's family came back.
The aunt went to the kitchen to cook silently. Hongxiao lit the fire for her, while Zhang Yuying took Xiaolang to learn to read in the house.
Erni quietly asked her eldest cousin: "Why did you come back now? What happened?"
Jiang Cheng: "Nothing happened. It was Zhang Yukun's father-in-law and his family who came to cause trouble. I called a few yamen runners to drive them away."
I have to treat those yamen runners to a meal tomorrow to repay this favor.
"How is Hongxiao's father?" Yingbao was still concerned about the efficacy of her medicine and whether it would be useful to Zhang Jia.
Jiang Cheng: "I think he's fine. He can even stand up and fight."
"Oh." Yingbao nodded and didn't care about other things in the Zhang family.
At noon the next day, Jiang Quan finally drove his carriage to the county town.
He was accompanied by brothers Li Dao and Li He.
They moved the fruit from the cart into the shop and then went to the backyard to eat.
Jiang Quan was very happy to see his little cousin coming back, "Yingbao, when are you coming home? Uncle and Aunt were still talking about you yesterday."
"Just these two days." Yingbao has been eager to go home, but her master has something to do these days, so he asked her to wait for two days and then go to Chuanhe Town with her.
"Li Dao and Li He will be going back in two days. It will be safer if we go together then." Jiang Quan took out a wooden sign from the shop. It read: Fresh fruits and vegetables have arrived. Welcome to buy.
He stuck the wooden sign against the door of the shop and turned back to talk to his little cousin.
"Where did you go? Was it fun?"
"Are you going by boat or carriage? I heard that the surrounding area is not safe anymore. There are robberies in many places. Every time I drive back and forth, I am worried that robbers will jump out from the roadside."
Jiang Quan still feels scared when he thinks of the robbers last time.
