All of a sudden, various thoughts flashed through the village head's mind, so chaotic that he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
He could only hear Qian crying, "Village chief, how can I tell him when the head of the family comes back? Zhou Yin doesn't even have a corpse..."
This sentence seemed to split the village chief's two veins, allowing him to understand in an instant. Who said that Zhou Yin didn't have a corpse
At that time, Zhou Yin must have been the person carried back by Zhou Zhoulang. Even if the other person's face was scratched, how could an acquaintance who had only met the day before not recognize him
But that Zhou Yin was found by officials and identified as a bandit; but this one was killed by a bandit...
The village head wanted to cry but couldn't cry, so he could only say to Zhou Xi and Man Bao: "Tell your mother not to cry, the official is still here."
The yamen servant was a little impatient, but after all, someone died in his family, so he couldn't stop him.
When Qian's voice slowly dropped, he said: "The county captain asked me to inform you, go back to the county to cancel Zhou Yin's household registration, and do everything that needs to be done. Recently, the county magistrate is concerned about civil affairs. Ruthless, don't cause trouble for the county captain."
Qian Shi nodded timidly and asked, "Do you need to bring anything?"
Then the yamen servant took out a notice from his arms and patted it on her, saying: "Take this, and your household registration, the villager's insurance will do."
Before the village chief asked, Qian had already said, "Why do you need a bond?"
"Of course you need a letter of guarantee, otherwise who would know if Zhou Yin belongs to your family?" The yamen servant said with a look of course: "This letter of guarantee directly states that the Zhou Yin leading on this road is your family's Zhou Yin."
Without this item, who knows if their item was sent to the wrong person
When the village chief heard this, he immediately looked at the guide in Man Bao's hand.
Man Bao hurriedly showed him.
The village chief squinted his eyes and read for a long time, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then nodded when the yamen servant became more and more suspicious: "This is Zhou Yin from her family, this, this word is really unique, haha, haha... "
As soon as the yamen servant heard it, he knew that he was not very literate, and he didn't care too much. He got up and said, "Okay, since your village chief has also come, then this matter is over."
Mrs. Qian hurriedly asked to stay, "It's almost noon, the official might as well stay for dinner, I'll let the boy at home buy a piece of meat, I'll trouble you to make a trip in this hot day..."
The yamen servant hesitated after hearing the words. If he had no money, it would be fine if he could eat meat.
When Mrs. Qian saw her, she tried her best to persuade her to stay, and told the little Mrs. Qian, "Go and get some money for the second girl, forget it, let the relatives of the second family go and buy some meat, and then you can get the eggs." Bring out a few to cook for the official..."
The yamen servant heard this and said, "Your family still has chickens, do you have many eggs?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian paused for a moment and then said with an apologetic smile, "How many are there?"
Then he turned to Xiaoqian and said, "Forget it, let your second sibling go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken and kill it, and then go to the vegetable garden to get more vegetables."
The yamen servant hurriedly said: "This chicken needs to be tender and delicious. It is best to lay eggs in the first year. Otherwise, although the old chicken smells delicious, the meat is too old."
Mrs. Qian replied "Yes", and said to Mrs. Qian, "Let your second sibling catch a tender hen."
Man Bao stayed for a long time before realizing it. There was a surge of anger in her chest. She opened her mouth to speak, but Zhou Xi, who was sharp-eyed, covered her.
Hearing the movement, the yamen servant looked over.
Qian immediately said: "Take your younger sister down quickly, this child has never seen such a battle before, she must be frightened, take her back to the house, and bring her dinner to the entrance of the village to call her."
Zhou Xi responded, and half hugged and half dragged Man Bao down.
Ertou and Erya outside the door also had some angry faces on their faces, but they were stopped by their mothers and aunts, and nothing happened.
Feng Shi glared at them, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you bring your younger brothers and sisters there? Just play in the room with my sister-in-law, and don't go anywhere."
Zhou Xi dragged Man Bao back to the room, and then let her go.
Man Bao felt wronged and angry again, tears streaming down his face.
Zhou Xi hugged her and comforted her: "My good boy, this matter is different from other things, you know we can't lose our temper?"
Zhou Xi didn't quite understand, "It's because things are different that we should be more angry."
In her memory, even when she encountered a bad official, even though her parents and brothers would nod and bow, they would push back without being soft or hard. Why did she put her figure so low this time
Man Bao said: "He's just a yamen servant reporting a funeral, and I know the magistrate too."
"This thing is different, this thing is different," Zhou Xi didn't know how to explain to Man Bao, so he could only wipe her tears and said, "Don't go out about being a bad girl."
Zhou Xi said: "Look at your mother bowing her head like that, she can't mess up this matter."
Man Bao's shoulders slumped, and he nodded after a while and said, "Okay, I won't scold him, and I won't be angry."
"Good boy."
Man Bao raised his head and asked Zhou Xi, "Sister, is that really our uncle? I saw that the road guide says he is from Shangzhou. Since he is from Shangzhou, why is he also our uncle?"
Zhou Xi was taken aback for a moment, but he remembered that his parents had said that his aunt was from Shangzhou. When life was better a few years ago, they mentioned that they wanted to go to Shangzhou to find relatives of the Xia family. Shangzhou is so far away, they don't even know where Shangzhou is.
Not only the old Zhoutou and Qian Shi, but even the more courageous Zhou Zhoulang was afraid to go to such a far place.
The thought flashed by, Zhou Xi thought of something, got up immediately and said: "Man Bao, you can read in the room, and when your fifth brother and sixth brother come back to take you to play, I will go to the next door to have a look."
As soon as he went out, he saw Erya Ertou leading a few pouting little ones coming over unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Stop basking in the sun outside, hurry up and go inside to accompany your sister-in-law, don't run around, you know?"
Zhou Xi rushed to the next door in a hurry, and Mrs. Qian asked Mrs. Qian to bring out two more bowls of bean curd, one for the yamen servant and one for the village chief, and asked them to sit and talk.
Seeing her daughter standing outside the door winking at her, Qian went out wiping her tears...
Zhou Xi pulled his mother aside, and whispered Man Bao's question, "Mom, we don't understand the directions, so we have to ask clearly, otherwise we will find out that we made a mistake..."
Qian Shi nodded, "I thought so too, that's why I wanted to let him stay a little longer. When your father comes back, it's easy to ask questions."
Qian frowned when she said this, looked outside the door and said, "Why haven't your father come back yet?"
"Why don't I go to the mountain and look for it."
Qian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, go and have a look, you are alone, don't go too deep."
