The atmosphere of Zhao's house is completely different from that of Li Feng's.
The third uncle's children and grandchildren were guarding outside, listening to the third uncle in the room accusing Zhao Laosan of their unfilial piety towards him and the ungratefulness of their clansmen, but looking carefully, these children and grandchildren did not show any sadness on their faces. On the contrary, there is a kind of "no more than that" expression. Even if they really bear the reputation of being unfilial, as long as they don't take the scientific examination, it won't have much impact on their future.
In the past, they may have to consider the issue of the younger generation's marriage, whether it will be affected by their reputation, but now the situation in Pingshan Village is really good, even they can see clearly that everyone in Pingshan Village is looking forward to marrying in in the future. Their Zhao family is not worried about not being able to marry a satisfactory brother.
"Do you think something will happen when Zhao Laosan comes back this time?" Third Uncle's youngest son whispered to the others.
"What kind of trouble can he cause?" The man glanced at the direction of the room and said, "With his virtue, even if he can pass the exam, he may not be able to make a fortune in the future. There are a group of people who are holding back." No need to explain, everyone knows that the people who are holding back are Zhao Laosan's family, and Zhao Daniu's disappearance does not necessarily mean that the family is nervous to search. There is no news until now, which is really annoying I can't believe that Zhao Laosan has seriously searched for him in the city. This person's temperament is so cold that it makes people feel cold. Who dares to pin their hopes on him.
"That's right, the Royal Merchant Rong's family behind Li Feng is not comparable to a scholar. I think it's Zhao Laosan who won't dare to deal with Li Feng and Brother Ming openly. Look at the past. When did he rush to the front? Didn’t he always hide behind other people and come out to pretend to be a good person at a critical moment? That’s when Brother Ming tore his face, which made the old man unhappy .” Then he moved his mouth in the direction of the room.
"I admire Brother Ming very much!" Someone said, there was no support from the Li family at that time, and Li Feng had just returned to the village. The Zhao family and the third uncle are fighting against each other, and it is not easy to think about it now.
They were discussing in a low voice outside, while the third uncle in the house beat the kang bitterly: "Look at the atmosphere in Pingshan Village today, everyone only sees money and other things? But everyone doesn't understand me." I worked hard to join forces with those Li family members, third child, I now hope that all my hopes are on you, as long as you pass the exam, I can regain the status of patriarch, and use the strength of the whole clan to support your progress in scientific examinations."
"Third Uncle, you said that the Li family really hooked up with the Royal Shang Rong's family? How could they have such a relationship? Could it be someone Li Feng met outside before?" Zhao Laosan was shocked by the appearance of the Royal Shang Rong's family. After studying in the county, his horizons are much wider than before, and he knows what the status of the Rong family is. Even those big families in the county can't find a way to get in touch with Rong Dang, but Li Feng and Tang Chunming are just farmers in Pingshan Village. People, how is this possible? The only way to find the root cause is with Li Feng.
"The Rong family is really so powerful?" The third uncle frowned at Zhao Laosan.
Zhao Laosan lowered his voice and said: "I heard that standing behind the head of the Rong family is His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. Although His Highness Zhao Wang is not in power, he is the most trusted today. Village, I'm afraid the magistrate of the county can't sit still anymore and will come down for a trip in person, and getting in touch with the Rong family is not only about picking up the Royal Merchant, but also getting in touch with His Royal Highness Zhao Wang behind him."
Zhao Laosan is going crazy, if this opportunity is given to him, as long as he is in Zhao Wang's eyes, he can guarantee that his day of prosperity will come soon, and the embarrassment of a small master is nothing.
Offended the master, he didn't know what it means to walk in a difficult way in the county, but it was his own mother who did it, so he had nowhere to go to complain, so he could only be angry in his own stomach, and he wanted to be rescued more and more. In the future, I will pay my respects to the Lord Registrar, Anping County is not something he can control alone.
"Then what should we do? Brother Ming, can you confirm that Master Rong who came that day? Couldn't he have made it up?" The third uncle still couldn't believe it. How could a brother from a peasant family have such a thing? Energy and insight, the ancestors of the Tang family were not like the Zhao family who had produced any big shots. The ancestors had been digging in the ground for generations, and only Tang Chunming's father passed the test as a child. Not to mention the Li family, if the ancestors of the Li family had any big names, they would not have been united by people of the Pang surname to occupy a place in Pingshan Village in the first place. In other surrounding villages, there is no room for people of the Pang surname to criticize them in the village. scheming.
As for that kid Li Feng, who is really a great military officer outside now, will he not be a good official and return to the countryside to farm? It's not that he doesn't like it, but that people don't go to high places but go to low places
The third uncle always refused to admit that he also had a day when he was wrong, and his temper became more and more lonely and stubborn.
Zhao Laosan frowned: "I was not at home at the time, and Rong Dang's family was not easy to be seen, but some descriptions from the villagers were suspicious..." The most important point is to come to Pingshan Village The one in the family is a brother, and what the most insider of Rong Dang's family said was his brother's identity.
Zhao Laosan is a little regretful now, regretting not being able to stop his mother's behavior at the beginning, if his mother could treat Tang Chunming kindly, then Tang Chunming would not leave the Zhao family later, even if he remarried later, he would not be with the Zhao family Breaking away from the relationship, it seems that it is even more impossible to change the surname of the newly born boy from this relationship, so if you really have a relationship with the Rong family of the imperial merchant, you can ask Tang Chunming to give you a word, and you will not be able to get on the big ship of the Rong family. It's not difficult.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything Grandma did was dragging his hind legs, and the roots of his teeth were about to bite and bleed. At this time, he forgot how coldly he watched what happened at the beginning, and he didn't even show any sympathy in his heart.
Not to mention the discussion and planning between the third uncle and Zhao Laosan here, and the people outside the Zhao family secretly want to inform the people of the Li family so that they can remind Li Feng's family to guard against Zhao Laosan's business, and something happened to the Zhao family again. And it's a big deal!
Zhao Daniu came back, but he was brought back under escort!
At that time, Li Feng's family had just sent away Teng Yu and Rong's family who had finally discussed the distribution plan. The two parties each dragged away a large cart of grain. How much, while planning to use new wheat to grind into flour to taste how it tastes. Winter wheat has experienced a large temperature difference due to the long growth period. Although the yield is not as good as spring wheat, it surpasses the latter in terms of taste.
"Brother, it's too easy to earn this money." Tang Chunrong is still dizzy. After he transported the five acres of wheat from his family, although he insisted on the same price as the villagers, he got it almost Sixty taels of silver. This is because the family still has some wheat left. Otherwise, the income of five acres of land would be higher. This can only be regarded as the output of half a year. The family can become very rich by farming.
"If you have money for you, you just keep it. Does anyone think they have too much money these days?" Tang Chunming rubbed the top of his younger brother's hair, messing it up, Tang Chunrong still foolishly said Smiling, not caring at all that his image was ruined by his brother.
He Lao always agreed with Tang Chunming's suggestion and urged Li Feng to send the wheat out of the mill to be ground into flour. He was also looking forward to this winter wheat. How could Li Feng object? He immediately packed 50 catties of wheat and sent them to the mill in the village. Everyone who planted wheat this year more or less kept a little bit of it. They also had the same idea as Tang Chunming's family. At least they tasted such precious wheat. Taste it, even those who are reluctant to leave a few catties, not because the adults want to eat it, but because the children are too busy to improve it for the children, so there are many people in the mill. But when Li Feng came, he took the initiative to give up his position and let his family grind first. Li Feng was not polite either, he left the wheat to the miller and went back first.
Also on the way back, he saw someone escorting an embarrassing man to the village. At first he didn't recognize who the detained man was, but the detained man had a fierce look on his face, and he didn't look like a good person. He also had to ask about the matter of Pingshan Village, but it turned out to be Zhao Laosan.
"It's really a crime. After taking away the Zhao family's money, the third son of Zhao was happy outside, and somehow got into trouble with the gambling house in the county. Didn't he bet his land and house? They took him back to the village to take over the land and the house."
"It's none of our business, it's Zhao Daniu's own voluntary bet, and it's only natural for me to pay back the debt." A man with a thick face walking beside Zhao Daniu who was being detained said loudly.
Li Feng looked at Zhao Daniu, who shrank and wanted to bury himself in the middle, and was extremely disgusted in his heart. He not only rolled up money and hid it, but also got involved in gambling. Is this gambling shop so easy to get into? If you take off a layer of skin, you will go bankrupt and sell your children and husbands.
On the way, he asked an acquaintance to bring a message to his family. Li Feng turned around and went to Lizheng's house. He couldn't stand by and watch things like this involving the fields. He said that he just entered the door of prostitutes, so why did he lose all the land and house in the blink of an eye
The movements in Pingshan Village cannot be concealed from those who are interested in the outside world. Some people have intervened to get Brother Ming's idea before, but they have not been able to do what those people wished. Now the movements in Pingshan Village are getting bigger and bigger. It is inevitable that those people will think Find another way to reach into Pingshan Village. Even if they didn't think about these things at first, they realized it under Mr. He's suggestion. Whether this gambling shop is aimed at Zhao Daniu or has ulterior motives, Li Feng can't guarantee it, but the land of Pingshan Village must not fall into the hands of outsiders hands.
At home, Tang Chunming and He Lao Arong planned to grind out the flour, roll out some noodles and then make some dumplings. Alin was also clapping at the side. Today was a busy day and he didn't care about his two children. Little Asamba Grandmother refuses to let go, no one wants to hug her, otherwise she will cry and show these grown-ups, even though he is small, he is not easy to fool, heh heh.
"Brother Ming, something happened to Zhao Daniu, he went into the gambling house and mortgaged his land and house, and someone from outside came to the village to take over the land and house, Brother Afeng went to Lizheng's house and asked me to tell you. "After the visitor conveyed the words, he rushed to Zhao's house to watch again.
Tang Chunming hugged his son and turned his face to Elder He, who was also teasing Asen. When he heard this, Elder He's expression became serious. He didn't come sooner or later, but he made trouble in Pingshan Village at this time. It's not his conspiracy theory. It was because he had seen too much darkness, and the place with the most darkness in the world was inside the imperial palace.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look too. Let Chen Momo take care of the child first. Ah Lin will take care of my younger brother at home. Grandpa and mother will go out for a while." Elder He patted Ah Lin's head.
"Mum and grandpa, let's go, Ah Lin will take good care of my younger brother." Ah Lin patted his small chest and promised.
Tang Chunming called Chen Momo in, and after explaining to him, he went out with Mr. He, and Tang Chunrong of course followed. Passing by Zhang Xiu's house to call for someone, but there is no one at home, so I'm afraid I heard the news earlier. When the three of them arrived outside the courtyard of the Zhao family, Li Feng happened to come with Li Zheng, along with the elders of the village. It was not the first time something happened to the Zhao family, but this time it was the most people who came. Outsiders meddling in the affairs of Pingshan Village is enough to make the people of Pingshan Village vigilant.
Even the third uncle of the Zhao family got up from the hospital bed and came over with the support of Zhao Laosan.
In the courtyard of Zhao's family, there were loud cries and shrill curses.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiu was here. When he saw Tang Chunming and the others coming, he ran to them and told them what happened inside.
"This Zhao Daniu is really unexpected. He ran out and took out the land deed and house deed of his family. Now it is in the hands of the gambling house. Now, the people in the gambling shop said, how about paying back the money? If you don’t want to take the land, listen to this voice, it’s Grandma Zhao and Wang Chunhua scolding Zhao Daniu, and now even Wang Chunhua hates Zhao Daniu to death.”
"You bastard! This Zhao Daniu is such a bastard!" Li Zheng yelled angrily. He usually only thought that Zhao Daniu was useless, but he didn't think he would cause any trouble. Now it's good. If something happens, it's a big deal. Let's see What kind of bastards did they do, taking away the money from the family and the clan, and even losing the family's land and houses in a bet, if this was his own son, his legs would have been broken long ago It's useless, just stay at home, so as not to go out and harm the whole family!
The gate of the Zhao family's courtyard had been blocked by people, but when they saw that Li was coming with the clan elders, the villagers voluntarily moved out of the way.
The third uncle of the Zhao family arrived one step earlier and was out of breath in the yard. Zhao Laosan asked Zhao Daniu angrily while holding his breath for the third uncle. At that time, when someone came to inform him, he was still discussing the matter of the Rong family with his third uncle, and he was told that Zhao Daniu had lost all the house and land in his family. They have lost their roots, where is this going? Is Zhao Daniu, a bastard, going to kill his family? At that time, Zhao Laosan's eyes were blackened, why did he try his best to make progress in the front, but all these family members were behind him, and only now did he realize that among his mother and several brothers, the second brother Zhao Dahu was actually the one. The most caring and most worry-free.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine, otherwise he will definitely try his best to prevent Dumb from entering the mountain, so Tang Chunming's remarriage will not happen.
Wang Chunhua pinched Zhao Daniu in anger, and Zhao Laomao beat Zhao Daniu with the door bolt, cursing at the same time: "Why didn't you die outside? You goddamn Zhao family, what can I do to you? You are a bastard with no conscience." Thing, what's the use of your life? It's better to be stuffed into a cesspit after birth..." Zhao Daniu hugged his head and shrank to the ground without saying a word. His body and head were covered with dirt, as if he hadn't bathed for a long time. It was nothing like the description.
"Okay, just hit a few times. Even if you beat Zhao Daniu to death in front of us, the land that should be reclaimed still has to be reclaimed." Noisy.
"Aw—" Grandma Zhao suddenly howled and sat down on the ground, "What kind of evil did I do, this will let me, an old lady, live..."
Tang Chunming watched Mrs. Zhao cry and howled, and heard Zhang Xiu tell him that Mrs. Zhao wanted to bump into these people before, but these people were so arrogant that they didn't care about his life as an old woman at all. He stretched out his hand and threw him out.
Money is his lifeblood, and the house and land are even more important. Tang Chunming looked coldly at Mrs. Zhao, who was not so resigned to giving up. As expected, she immediately got up and knelt down in front of the third uncle and kowtowed desperately: " Third Uncle, Master Lizheng, all clan elders, this is the land and house left by his grandpa, it cannot be confiscated, otherwise there is no way for me, the old lady, to survive, the old Sanyi A scholar is also going to be cut off, I, an old lady, kowtowed to you, please save my Zhao family and save the third child."
"By the way, the money is all owed by Zhao Daniu. You took him and sold him, as well as his brothers and children. Is it enough to pay off the debt?" Zhao Laomo said to her grandson Zhao Dong who was huddled in the corner. He and Zhao Mei dragged them out, pushed them in front of the people in the gambling house, and pointed at Wang Chunhua, "Go to whoever owes it. The land and the house are not Zhao Daniu's at all. You return the title deed to me..." Crazy Once the land is acquired, they have to rush forward to grab the house deed and land deed.
"Ah—" Wang Chunhua was stunned for a moment to realize what Zhao Laomo said, then screamed, then rolled her eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.
"I don't want it, I don't want it..." Zhao Dong felt scared for the second time, he would hug Zhao Mei who had always been bullied by him and trembled all over.
Originally, there were people who sympathized with Mrs. Zhao, who was forced to this point by a bastard son at an old age, but the scene in front of her made people feel chills. Thinking back to the scene that happened last year, didn’t they also want to take Ming Geer and A Lin? The little brother is going to change money, such an old woman can't be sympathetic at all, it seems that Zhao Laosan is the only one in his eyes, and no matter whether it is Zhao Daniu or Zhao Dahu, even if he dies, he can't make him shed a tear of.
It's outrageous that a mother can do this.
The third uncle shook his body, picked up the doorbolt that Old Mama Zhao had thrown aside, and beat it up: "What are you talking about, you bastard, if you want to sell the first one, you will sell yourself."
Old Mama Zhao let out a cry and jumped away. None of Zhao Dong and Zhao Mei was protecting Grandma, Grandma was about to sell them, so they couldn't take care of others.
The man with arms crossed sneered and said, "How many of them are they? How much are they worth? Even if they are all sold, they still can't pay back the silver owed by Zhao Daniu. Old lady, do you know how much silver your son owes us?" The man stretched out his hand, pointed out two fingers and said, "Two hundred taels, a whole two hundred taels of silver, just a few things from your house can be worth two hundred taels of silver?" .
"Mother, shut up!" Zhao Laosan's forehead was throbbing with veins. He really didn't want to admit that such a person was his mother. He desperately held back his anger and turned to the man, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm Zhao Pingchuan, Daniu's third brother. Now that we are studying in the county school, we will not give up the house and land, can we discuss other ways to redeem the house and land deeds?"
The person who came yelled, and a thug-like man next to him shouted in a hurry: "It turns out that you are a scholar, I didn't expect to have such an unbelievable elder brother, but even if you are a scholar, it is still a problem to pay back the debt." It is a matter of course, even if it is reported to the county government, it will be taken back or the money will be handed out, two hundred taels, after a few days it will not be this amount, we are reminding you."
Third Uncle and Zhao Laosan's eyes turned dark again, these were loan sharks like blood sucking insects, they both turned their heads and stared fiercely at Zhao Daniu who was pretending to be dead, wishing he could cut him into pieces.
"Even if it's a seller, don't pick up these crooked melons and bad dates. Your family doesn't have a brother with better color? Maybe we can take less money from you and return this land deed to you if we like it. Big Brother, don’t you think so?” Another man said lewdly.
The leading man turned his eyes around the yard intentionally. There are not many brothers in this farmer's family that they can take a fancy to, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw Tang Chunming who was talking to Li Feng with his head down. It occurred to me that there was a superb item hidden in this village. The man next to him who called him Big Brother saw Tang Chunming following his eyes, immediately salivated, and pointed out: "See, if you want to be like that, maybe you will spend two hundred taels of silver. I'll save you guys, brother, do you think so, haha..." He smiled wantonly.
These three tall and burly men seem to be strong enough to often do door-to-door collection of bills, but right now they feel cold, and then a black shadow flashes, and there are three bang bang bang, these three people have no resistance The force was thrown out, and a crowd of people smashed together and screamed.
"Let me hear such words and see such eyes again, you will leave your eyes and tongues behind!" A threatening voice full of evil spirits sounded in front of the three of them. These people are also daring people, but today they are unprecedented Feeling cold and shivering all over.
There were bursts of gasps from the crowd. If I had known that Li Feng would survive the battlefield, he must be extremely skilled. With Yu Mu's inhuman strength as the base, I guessed that Li Feng was not bad, but I never expected it With such amazing skills, thinking about the people who were so stupid to provoke Li Feng in the past, they really wanted to kill themselves. They would never think that what Li Feng said now was just for fun.
However, the men who went into the mountains with Li Feng and fought wolves earlier knew his skills. He basically slaughtered those wolves alone, and they were afraid of wolves, so they usually respect Li Feng very much. I know, seeing his skill at this moment is still in admiration.
Tang Chunming's eyes are staring, his family is too powerful, he woke up after being coughed lightly by Mr. He next to him, there are still important things at the moment, if you want to be staring, let's go back and talk about it. Tang Chunrong on the other side was not much better than him. I knew that my brother-in-law was good, but I didn't expect him to be so good. Thinking about my brother-in-law persuading him to practice his skills, but because there was no effect in a short time and he was busy with schoolwork, he often fished twice in three days. Tianzhaiwang, regretting it now, he should ask his brother-in-law to teach him more skills, even if he can't do it to this level, at least he can go up the mountain and beat wolves.
Tang Chunming walked to Li Feng's side, the evil spirit on Li Feng's body immediately receded, and the cold killing intent in his eyes gradually melted away. Tang Chunming pulled his arm and said: "There is no need to get angry with this kind of person, a lesson is enough, so that they will not mess with our Pingshan Village in the future. Not everyone can step into Pingshan Village .”
"Yes, yes," Mrs. Zhao crawled over as if seeing a savior, and was about to hug Li Feng's thigh when she came up, but is Li Feng so easy to be hugged by him? She dodged away with Brother Ming, but Old Mama Zhao didn't give up so easily, and still shouted at the two of them, "It was my old Nanny who made mistakes before, and I kowtowed to apologize to you, I just should Hit," he slapped himself as he spoke, and his face immediately swelled up, "Boy Feng, brother Ming, brother Ming, for the sake of our old mother, let them let the Zhao family go. Okay? My old mother begs you, please have a lot of... "
"Enough!" Someone in the crowd shouted angrily, and a thin middle-aged man came out.
Zhao's behavior made the villagers very disdainful and very angry. Why did Brother Ming and Boy Feng save their Zhao family? The disaster was caused by them themselves. This kind of attitude is to force Brother Ming to save them? If Brother Ming doesn't save him, he will become Brother Ming's, won't he? If there is no such force, Brother Ming has nothing to do with the Zhao family.
The new patriarch of the Zhao family can't stand it anymore. If he doesn't intervene in this matter and make it difficult for Brother Ming to be a man, I'm afraid that Boy Feng will blame them on them. Mammy got worse, he couldn't let this happen, so he couldn't bear to speak.
The people surnamed Pang kept wandering their eyes on the new head of the Zhao family and the third uncle.
"I'm the new head of the Zhao family. This matter has nothing to do with Ah Feng and Tang Fulang. You don't have to be embarrassed by this old lady Zhao's nonsense. One person does things and one person is in charge. Now that I know I'm in a hurry, what did I do earlier? Without the connivance of the elders, the younger generation can do it all the time." Wrong again?" The tone was stern.
