The two had enough rest, and Wang Shijing continued to pick tea. Shao Yun'an also put the bag of osmanthus in Wang Shijing's basket to avoid the smell of tea. Wang Shijing's movements became more and more proficient, and after about an hour, he also finished picking the remaining half of the ancient trees. This trip up the mountain has been extremely rewarding. The two of them didn't delay, they packed up and went down the mountain.
The speed of going back was fast, Shao Yun'an didn't look around, Wang Shijing led him down the mountain smoothly. The two went home to put their things first, and then went to pick up the child. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked into the village, they saw a woman, and the woman gloated and said, "Ishii, your mother has been looking for you all day, you should go home soon."
Shao Yun'an's good mood dissipated immediately, Wang Shijing's face was gloomy, he just said "Got it", and led Shao Yun'an to continue driving home. He never let go of Shao Yun'an's wrist, and Shao Yun'an didn't break free.
"It must be about the stone." Shao Yunan snorted coldly.
"I'll take you home first, and then I'll pick up Brother Qing and Nizi." As soon as Wang Shijing finished speaking, someone called him again: "Shijing!"
The two looked over, it was Aunt Li, and Aunt Li looked very anxious. The other party came trotting all the way, and hurriedly said: "Shijing, your mother asked you for a stone, and went to your house in the morning, and you two were not there. When she heard that Brother Qing and Nizi were at Zhou Cai's house, she took her with her. Tian Yan had a big fight with his family’s past, saying that you hid money before the separation and you had to hand it over, and that you asked the patriarch to open the ancestral hall, saying that you were unfilial and had to follow the clan rules. The two children were terrified , Your Aunt Zhou and I will send the two babies to Lizheng, so hurry over there."
Shao Yun'an gritted his teeth: "Damn it, the tiger treats me as a sick cat if it doesn't show its power. I want to see how she obeys the family rules!"
Seeing a donkey grazing in the wasteland not far away, Shao Yunan took out the hand held by Wang Shijing, took off the pannier on his back and put it on the ground, angrily said: "Brother Shijing, take the things home , if I don’t ruin Wang Songzhi’s reputation today, my fucking surname is not Shao!”
Before Wang Shijing and Fourth Aunt Li could react, Shao Yunan rushed up to the donkey. While the owner was stupefied, he climbed onto the donkey and slapped the donkey's butt. The donkey brayed, and ran away under Shao Yun'an's command.
"Hey! That's my donkey!" The donkey owner yelled and rushed up.
Shao Yunan knew how to ride a horse, so it was no problem to ride a donkey, but the donkey had no saddle, so it was a bit difficult for him to ride. Shao Yunan was furious in his heart. He could see that when dealing with those shameless members of the Wang family, he had to let them have a hard time. Isn't the reason why the Wang family is so arrogant is that there is a good scholar in his family. No matter which era, the reputation of a scholar is the most important. If the Wang family can do such a shameless thing, he wants to see if that scholar of the Wang family is also so shameless!
"Yun'an! Yun'an!" Fourth Aunt Li got anxious and pushed Wang Shijing hard, "Hurry up and chase!"
Wang Shijing's face was tense, and he said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, I'll put the things at your house first, and you can lend me the ox cart. Lizheng, please tell him that Yun'an has gone to find Songzhi. "
"Alas, hurry up, I'll talk to Lizheng!" Fourth Aunt Li scolded Mrs. Wang's family to death in her heart. She helped Wang Shijing take two baskets full of things to her home. When Wang Xing and Sun Erjiang heard that Shao Yun'an had gone to look for Wang Songzhi, they immediately expressed that they would go with Wang Shijing.
Wang Shijing didn't refuse, and drove towards the direction of the county in a bullock cart. Shao Yun'an's reaction also shocked him. But immediately after that, complex emotions rose again in his heart. This was originally something he should have resolved, but Shao Yun'an's actions made him feel once again that they were a family.
At Lizheng's house, Mrs. Wang, Wang Tianyan and Wang Guozhaodi were all waiting angrily. After Fourth Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou sent their two children over, the three also stayed at Lizheng's house. Lizheng's mother-in-law, Zhao Liushi, was so angry that she had never seen such a shameless family. It was simply unreasonable for such a family to give birth to Tong Shenglang.
The patriarch Wang Wenhe was also called over by Mrs. Wang crying. Both Wang Wenhe and Li Zheng Zhao Zheng looked very bad. Li just had to hinder Wang Zhisong's Tongshenglang status, while Wang Wenhe was out of the consideration of the whole family. After Wang Songzhi was admitted to Tong Shenglang, the fate of the entire Wang clan was also tied to him. In the future, the Wang clan will use the strength of the whole family for Wang Zhisong's scientific examination. No matter how annoying Mrs. Wang was in Wang Wenhe's heart, he still had to consider the future of the entire Wang family, so Wang Wenhe was very embarrassed about this matter.
The two children were taken to the back room by Mrs. Zhao and Liu. Lizheng's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were sitting in the main room, and Lizheng's eldest grandson had just returned from private school and was staying with his grandmother, Wang Qing, and Wang Ni in the back room. Lizheng's eldest son, Zhao Yuande, married a man who was a brother of the same clan, named Zhao He. Usually, there is no intermarriage among members of the same clan. Zhao He's parents did not have children. He was a son adopted from his mother's family. It's over.
The couple have only one son named Zhao Congbo, who is ten years old this year and studies in a private school in the county. Although Lizheng and his wife were dissatisfied that their daughter-in-law was a boy and had only one grandson, they loved the eldest grandson very much and had great expectations for him.
Fourth Uncle Wang and Fourth Aunt Wang ran in from the outside, and once they entered the house, Fourth Uncle Wang didn't even look at the patriarch and Mrs. Wang, and said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, Shi Jing and Yun An are back, and Yun An is going to the county. Learn to find pine branches."
As soon as Fourth Uncle Wang finished speaking, Li Zheng and Wang Wenhe were stunned for a while, and Mrs. Wang was also a little confused for a moment. Wang Tianyan asked stupidly, "Why is he looking for pine branches?"
Wang Guozhao raised his voice and shouted: "It's useless for him to find pine branches!"
"Confused!" Wang Wenhe said suddenly, and Wang Guozhaodi fell off the stool in fright. Lizheng's face trembled, and Fourth Aunt Wang said sarcastically, "Yun'an said he was going to ask Song Zhi, what should we do about this matter." She would not say that Shao Yun'an wanted to tarnish Wang Zhisong's reputation.
Wang Wenhe stood up and shouted, "Ishii! Why don't you stop him!"
Fourth Aunt Wang said, "Ishii didn't stop me. Yun'an robbed Ergouzi's donkey and ran to the county. Shijing borrowed my family's ox cart, Xingzi and Erjiang to chase it."
Wang Wenhe pointed to Aunt Wang, then turned around and pointed at Mrs. Wang who hadn't figured out the severity: "You are making trouble! If Songzhi's reputation is ruined today, let me see how you will explain to Songzhi!" After that, Wang Wenhe strode away, and he had to quickly arrange for someone to stop Shao Yun'an.
Mrs. Wang still didn't react: "Why does this ruin Songzhi's reputation?"
Li Zheng said impatiently: "Don't you hurry up and let Tian Yan chase after you?! Ishii has already separated. Don't say that he sells a piece of his own stone, even if he really has a private house, you don't have reason to make trouble now! The contract says It must be clear that Ishii has nothing to do with my family in the future! Where is the county school? Yunan is a powerful person. If he wants to make trouble at the county school, what will his wife and classmates think of Songzhi? If Songzhi's reputation is ruined, He can't even take the exam for a scholar!"
"What?!" Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, then screamed, "I think he dares!"
"See if he dares!" Li Zheng wished he could slap the dead old woman. Since it was Tong Shenglang from the same village, Lizheng didn't care about Mrs. Wang's side, and hurriedly asked his eldest son Zhao Yuande to chase him.
Li Zheng's move made the confident old lady Wang panic: "He, he really dare to go to the county school to ruin Songzhi's reputation?"
"If you don't believe me, keep making trouble!" Lizheng ignored Mrs. Wang, and shouted at Wang Tianyan, who was still confused about the situation: "You and Yuande hurry up and chase someone! If this matter is not resolved today, Songzhi's future will be ruined." It's ruined!" Wang Tianyan looked at Lizheng and his mother in disbelief, and ran out in a panic.
The patriarch said so, Li Zheng also said so, Mrs. Wang was finally afraid. Her legs went limp and she sat on the ground, then howled: "This mourner! Why did my royal family marry such a loser!"
Li Zheng scolded: "What's the use of crying now! If you hadn't made such a fuss, how could such troubles have happened! Ishii is also your son, and the eldest son! He didn't take a single grain of rice from the family, so you can pay me for some money!" Ask him! Do you have such a mother! After all, you are the one who caused this matter!"
Mrs. Wang said: "He didn't take a single grain of rice from me? He hid so many private houses without saying a word, and gave them all to the funeral star! He is an elder brother, and he doesn't spend money on anything at home, but pine branches cost money to study. How much, he doesn’t know?! He’s not filial and doesn’t allow me to ask for it?!”
Lizheng pointed at the unrepentant Mrs. Wang, and was too angry to speak. When Zhao Liushi came out of the house, he was also very angry. What's the matter crying in his house!
"Tian Yan's family, why don't you hurry up and help your mother-in-law to send her back! Let's talk about what happened when Tian Yan and the others come back. They have been making trouble all day, and our family hasn't eaten yet! My grandson is still hungry Where's the belly!"
Brother Wang Guozhao muttered: "It's not that the eldest brother is not honest, how can this make trouble."
"Hurry up and go back first!" Li Zheng was too lazy to waste words with this unreasonable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and waved away. The patriarch left, Wang Tianyan also left, Wang Guo Zhaodi did not dare to spoil at Lizheng's house, and helped Mrs. Wang.
"Lizheng, you have to decide for us! Our Wang family can't have such a daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Wang cried and wiped her tears, still not clear about the situation.
Lizheng waved his hand again, chasing people away, and asked his youngest daughter-in-law to send him out. Lizheng's youngest daughter-in-law and youngest son half pushed and pushed the Wang family's mother-in-law and sent them out.
After they went out, Mrs. Zhao and Liu scolded: "She thought it was Mrs. Song. She wanted to scold and beat her. Then Shao Yun'an said that she would never have a relationship with the Shao family. If she can make Ishii divorce Shao Yun'an, she is the real one. Ability! I'll see if she can fulfill her wish!"
Lizheng's wife hated Mrs. Wang's family very much, even hated them. She and Lizheng's two sons, Zhao Yuande and Zhao Yuanqing, both went to private schools, but they didn't pass the Tongsheng Examination. After Wang Zhisong was praised by the master of the private school, Mrs. Wang kept trying to squeeze Zhao Liushi openly and secretly, showing off that her son was smart and would definitely be the champion in the future. Later Zhao Yuande married Zhao He, and Mrs. Wang joked behind her back that Zhao Yuande was not good at school. As the eldest son, she also married a male wife. Mrs. Wang looked down on male wives very much.
But this time Wang Zhisong passed the children's test, and Mrs. Wang even said that in the future, the village will still have to rely on their pine branches. The two sons of Li Zheng's family are hopeless, and the eldest grandson of Li Zheng's family who is studying in a private school may also be with them. His father is also worthless. As a mother, as a grandmother, how could Zhao Liushi endure others running on her son and grandson like this, plus Mrs. Wang herself is not a good person, and she doesn’t know how to be a human being. Every time Zhao Liushi sees Mrs. Wang Like seeing a fly, the diaphragm responds very well.
Li Zheng asked his wife to scold him a few words to relieve his anger, and then asked her to cook. After that, he asked Aunt Wang who had been silent all the time: "Did the Ishii family really go to the county school to find pine branches?"
"Really, I can't lie to you." Fourth Aunt Wang said: "When Yunan heard that Mrs. Wang came to ask for stones and silver, she dropped her basket and didn't go home. She robbed Er Gouzi's donkey and went to the county seat. I went, and said that I want to find Songzhi to judge."
Lizheng took a deep breath, sat down, and slapped the table hard: "Every one of these is worry-free!"
Fourth Aunt Wang snorted, "It was originally the Dali family who didn't care. The family is separated, and they are still thinking about what they will sell for money. It seems that Shi Jing is not his son. They forced the Song family away, and they still want to force him away. Is Yunan? Ishii left the house without land or house, and they wanted to take all this money, and they didn’t make any sense to say that he would go out of the way. Although I am also a member of the Wang clan, I also know that people need face and trees need bark. In the matter of the Ishii family, you can't take sides with the Dali family."
Fourth Uncle Wang also said: "This time, Dali's family really did it. The deed of family division is clearly written, and the two sides have nothing to do with each other from now on. This can't be written clearly in black and white, so I won't recognize it later. After that, who will still believe in the deed? Songzhi is a scholar, so it's possible that he doesn't understand this truth?"
"Alas—" Lizheng sighed, frowning, he had something to take care of, but he still couldn't help questioning: "Does the Ishii family really dare to go to the county school?"
Zhao Liushi said angrily: "You should go find it!"
Li Zheng said angrily, "You woman, don't talk too much, go cook!"
Zhao Liushi went out angrily. With outsiders around, it's not easy for her to quarrel with the head of the family. Even if Wang Zhisong is admitted to the first prize, what good will it do for the Zhao family. As soon as something happened, Mrs. Wang moved out Wang Wenhe, obviously to put pressure on her family. How could Mrs. Zhao and Liu be Lizheng's mother-in-law, and why would she want others to overwhelm her man from time to time.
The county school is an unattainable place for the peasants, whose status is comparable to that of the yamen, and they absolutely dare not touch it casually. Even Li Zheng didn't believe that Shao Yun'an would really have the courage to go to the county school to find Wang Zhisong. In fact, everyone present was murmuring in their hearts, including Fourth Aunt Wang and Fourth Uncle Wang, and even Wang Wenhe, who had left earlier, did not believe it. The reason why they sent people to chase after him was just to make a statement, and to find a step for Shao Yun to settle down, and then take the opportunity to scare Mrs. Wang so that she can live in peace. Everyone has everyone's thoughts, how could they have imagined that Shao Yun'an really dared to break into the county school. For a modern person, there is no school that he cannot enter, even if it is the same as the Gongyuan of the university or the Guozijian of the capital, he dares to enter.
Lizheng's second son, Zhao Yuanqing, said at the side: "If you dare, you have to wait until the person is chased back. Father Songzhi should also let the head of the royal family talk about it, and you can't just let Aunt Wang mess around." Mrs. Wang's surname is Zhu is taboo to be called Wang Zhu's family. After a long time, people in the village no longer call her by her surname.
Li Zheng sighed again, if Wang Wenhe could manage Wang Dali's family, he would have already managed it. Wang Wenhe's selfishness is different from his. After all, he is not a member of the Wang clan. Wang Zhisong's fame in the future will not be much, and what he brings to Xiushui Village is fame, but the glory and wealth are only related to the Wang clan. But as Li Zheng, he must face up to Wang Zhisong's future fame.
