Looking at the closed door, Zhang Eryong squatted down, hugged his head in pain, and buried it in his arms.
Warm tears gushed out and wet his sleeves. This honest and honest young man heard the sound of heartbreak for the first time.
It is obvious that he is reluctant to give up, but he can only give up. It is his, but he is taken away by life. For the first time, he feels so humble, so helpless and powerless, struggling like an ant under the oppression of power Underneath, struggling in a hierarchical world, having her favorite person taken away by a horizontal knife, but still unable to tell her the truth...
He was powerless, isolated and helpless, emotions such as anger and hatred alternated in his heart, torturing his wounded heart...
One night passed without knowing it, the east was pale, Zhang Eryong stood up tiredly, his legs were numb after squatting all night, but he didn't feel it, now he got up suddenly, almost stumbled and fell down there.
Fortunately, he held onto the wall in time so he didn't fall down. After standing for a while, his legs were still so numb that he could hardly lift them up, but he didn't dare to stay for fear of being discovered by her, so he had to hold on to the wall and limped went…
He went to a car dealership, hired a car, and instead of going back to Taohua Village, he went directly to Qingzhou...
Shen Dejian returned to Gushantuner with a lot of worries. When he got home, he briefly looked around the new house at home. He didn't have the mood to comment at night, so he rushed to Taohua Village impatiently.
He wants to ask Brother Zhang, does he care if the kid Er Yong is messed up? 反正不管咋地，他就是不同意退婚，也不同意他去当兵，依他的意思，就是让老张大哥把那混小子揍一顿，揍老实了再让他现在就跟兰儿成亲， It's good to tie him up, and it also saves others from thinking about him Lan'er!
After arriving at old Zhang's house, Zhang Xingwang happened to be sitting under the big tree in front of his house to enjoy the shade. As soon as the two old brothers met, they couldn't wait to talk about Zhang Eryong without thinking about the pleasantries.
It turned out that a few days ago, Er Yong left a letter and fifty taels of silver and left home. The letter said that he had gone to join the army (he didn't say where he was going), and he just told them not to think about him, saying that he was likely to die a few times. Years to come back...
After the old Zhangtou found this letter from home, his eyes were dizzy with anxiety. He wanted to find it but didn't know where to look for it, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't. Looking at the end of the village road, I hope that the kid just left home on impulse, and I can still come...
When he thought about it, it wasn't the second kid who waited and waited, but his second relative's family who brought him a piece of bad news that made him despair.
Hearing that Er Yong actually went to Jizhou to withdraw the marriage, the old Zhangtou's fantasy was shattered at once. He didn't know how much Er Yong cared about Lan'er. Since he was so determined to withdraw the marriage, it can be seen that he decided to leave. Impossible to come back!
This news hit Lao Zhang head all of a sudden, this man who was going to be strong all his life, the man whose house was on fire, owed a debt and went to prison without shedding a tear, now wiped away tears in a hurry.
"You bastard, what's going on? He doesn't want to do good business, he doesn't want a good wife, what kind of soldier should he be, he's going to kill me..."
Shen Dejian also sighed anxiously, pointing to let old brother Zhang make the decision, and persuade Er Yong so that the two children can get married as soon as possible. Now that they are all gone, where else can I go to persuade them
When Shen Dejian heard the news from old Zhang, he was shocked enough, so he barely comforted Zhang Xingwang, and then went back in a daze!
When he went back, the villagers in Gushantuner already knew that he was back, and they came to visit him one after another.
The old lady Liu, Shen Degui, Shen Debao, Shen Xiuying's family, and Shen Xiuyun's family also came, and almost everyone in the village came, and they all surrounded Shen Dejian to ask questions and ask about his health.
"Second brother, just in time for you to come back, the land that Lanya hired everyone to help her open up wasteland some time ago has been planted, and the fish pond has also been dug. Everyone is waiting to settle accounts and get paid!" Said a few words Afterwards, Shen Debao brought up the business.
Shen Dejian hurriedly said, "Lan'er couldn't leave in Jizhou, so she specially asked me to come back and give money to everyone. Brother, you can help me figure out how much money I should give to everyone later. I'll give it to you right away when I figure it out." .”
After hearing this, Shen Debao went home and took out an account book, which clearly stated how much wages should be paid to whom. He put the account book in front of Shen Dejian, and asked Shen Dejian to pay everyone according to the account book.
As soon as Shen Dejian saw that there was an account to rely on, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, and a small bag of copper coins from the things he brought back, and began to distribute wages to everyone.
The bank notes he brought back were all in small amounts, one tael for this family, and two tael for that family, and they were almost all issued on a family basis, because this time Shen Ruolan gave everyone a lot of work, and every household was full of young and old. They did it, so they didn't make less money. The family with the most earned three taels, two and five cents, and the family with the least earned more than 700 fen.
The villagers were all rejoicing after receiving the money, just like Chinese New Year. They talked with Shen Dejian for a while, and then took him to see the wasteland and fish ponds that had been opened.
The land that was opened was all ordered by Shen Ruolan, and they planted beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, carrots and other crops. During this period of time, there was a lot of rain, and the crops grew well. , will definitely be able to earn a lot of money.
The fish pond has also been dug, but the water has not been poured into it yet, and the bottom of the pond is laid flat. It can be seen that the work has been done very carefully, and there is no fooling around at all!
Shen Dejian was very satisfied after watching it, and he was also very satisfied with his daughter.
Lan Ya is really a successful child. She keeps the house in order. Look at the chickens and ducks, the shed in the front garden, and the old land. Everything is so well organized. There are only a few of them. It's a pity that the family lived so well in just one month, how could that bastard Er Yong be willing to let her be such a good girl? How annoying!
Thinking of this, Shen Dejian's good mood disappeared in an instant, and he just said that he was tired and went home.
The villagers saw that he was tired, so they didn't bother him anymore, and went home with the money they earned.
Only the old lady Liu, Shen Degui, Shen Xiuyun's family, Shen Xiuying's family and Uncle Shen stayed home, and returned home with Shen Dejian.
Shen Dejian used to have a grudge against the old lady because of his wife's 'running away', and has been indifferent to the old lady for ten years. Now that it has been confirmed that her leaving home has nothing to do with the old lady, she can't help but feel a little guilty towards the old lady, so this When I come back for the first time, I can buy a lot of things for the old lady.
"Mother, these clothes are made of gauze. They are cool and light to wear. I bought two sets for you. You can keep them and change them..."
"There are also these two pairs of shoes, both made of cocoon silk. This bag is made of mung bean cake, which can dispel the heat. There are also lotus root powder, sweet-scented osmanthus, sweet-scented osmanthus, and glutinous rice sticks, which are so sweet..."
Shen Dejian took out all the things he bought and gave them to his mother.
Seeing these good things, Mrs. Liu naturally smiled from ear to ear, and Shen Xiuyun and Shen Xiuying on one side stared straight at them, almost drooling.
"Second brother, I heard that you are well-off in Jizhou and have opened several shops. Now your family has opened some old land and dug fish ponds. Your family has earned all the money!" Qi Laishun'er struck up a conversation with a smile.
A pair of shrewd eyes slipped back to Shen Dejian from the pile of good things Shen Dejian brought back to his mother-in-law.
Shen Dejian has been away from home for half a year, and he was still thin and thin when he left, dressed in cotton shorts, but this time he came back in a rich brocade gown, plus he was much fatter than half a year ago, making him look even more Rich and decent.
Shen Ruolan bought this brocade robe for him, because he was doing business with others, and he would be looked down upon if he didn't wear it well, so he specially made two sets of satin robes for his face.
Shen Dejian has been living like a dog in the village for more than ten years, and he is holding his breath in his heart. Now he can straighten his back, so it is good to wear this brocade robe specially when he comes back this time. Let those who looked down on him in the past take a look!
Sure enough, people have a heart of respecting clothes. Qi Laishun, Wang Wanfu, etc., saw that the second brother-in-law was dressed like a gentleman, and they all complimented him very much. They also talked to him in a flattering tone. Well, although he has been swaying his beard all the time, he didn't sway too much. Although Shen Dejian doesn't like to hear it, he can barely hear it.
Qi Laishun is different, he is a person who can do nothing for the sake of profit, in order to please his second uncle, he opened his mouth as if he had smeared honey, and said nicely, seeing how hot it was, he even took the initiative to sit until the second uncle Come on, uncle, fan the second uncle!
