The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 77 Determination
"Damn it, forget it," Old Madam Chen snorted, "How did I give birth to such a worthless seed like you?"

Then he turned around and went out, Chen Yaoguang chased after him and said, "Mother, what are you going to do after dinner?"

"Go to your elder brother's house. From now on, I will live in your elder brother's house. The other five of you will give me [-] Wen a year for food and drink." Mrs. Chen said as she walked out.

"You can really open your mouth like a lion," Liu appeared at the door with a bundle in his hand, "at most a hundred cash, not a single penny more."

Mrs. Chen just rushed to this point, but she didn't expect the third daughter-in-law to answer the words so impatiently, and directly cut the eight hundred Wen to one hundred Wen, and immediately sneered in anger.

"Do you want to count the money with me?" Mrs. Chen turned around and said, "Third son, I raised a milk baby you will never leave to such a big age, built a house for you and spent money to marry a wife, what do you think? How much? Eight hundred renminbi a year, and I will live another 20 years, which is less than 20 taels of silver. Are you just watching your daughter-in-law contradict me?"

Chen Yaoguang was devastated, and said softly, "Mother, Cui Fen is not contradicting you."

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Liu followed up and said, "You are raising your son, so what does it have to do with me? The money you want now is my family's money."

"Well, you are a child born in a family," Old Madam Chen howled angrily, slapping her legs and cursing, "What kind of books do you Liu family study? You are so good at calculating, why don't you just become peddlers?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't do this, her face turned pale, and she sneered at Chen Yaoguang: "Look at your old lady singing in this big play, I'm afraid others won't know about it."

"I'm just afraid that others don't know, your Liu family's daughter is good at settling accounts." The old lady Chen spit all over the place, and she said to the old neighbors who heard the sound: "You want to drive me away, I want Eight hundred Wen, she also said that she would only give one hundred Wen, saying that I have never raised her, and the money I want now is hers?"

Speaking of this, the old lady Chen slapped Mrs. Liu, "Damn, I raised such a big son, I will serve you like a grandson, and earn money for you to spend. You pick peaches for nothing, and you get cheap and act like a good boy!" .”

Seeing the optimistic eyes on the faces of the neighbors, Liu's face turned paler, and he said with red eyes: "Old lady, don't slander people here, why did I drive you away? You are the one who wants to leave .”

"You didn't drive me away? Am I a fool? I can't understand until you put your words on the nose." Old lady Chen scolded.

Chen Yaoguang felt like he was being executed publicly. They were all from the Lin family, so if he got involved in his family's business, his family would be in bad luck.

"It's gone," Chen Yaoguang waved away the crowd, while beckoning Mrs. Liu to go home quickly.

Liu glanced at him with red eyes, turned and went into the yard, only her daughter rushed over to hold her hand, one of the two sons was eating a piece of steamed bun, and the other was repairing a stool.

All of a sudden, Liu's heart was ashamed.

"Didn't you see that your mother was wronged?" Mrs. Liu asked her two sons, "Why didn't you react at all?"

The eldest son, Chen Hai, took a look at her and said, "Mother, do you want us to chase grandma for you?"

Mrs. Liu was speechless for a while when she was asked, and then she heard her son say again: "I'm already fifteen, and the marriage has been agreed, and I will marry a daughter-in-law in two years, I don't want to ruin my reputation."

"You crook," Liu scolded unceremoniously, "I shouldn't have let that old lady take you and turn my good son into a crook."

Chen Hai got up, ignored him, and went directly to the house.

Outside, a certain old lady who had already returned home taught her son, "Be more powerful in the future, and see what life is like at the village head's house. Such a daughter-in-law, she doesn't even touch a drop of water, and dares to quarrel with her mother-in-law. This kind of daughter-in-law Wife, it’s just that she owes a beating, you can give her three beatings a day, and see if she dares to count money with her mother-in-law.”

The daughter-in-law who was busy cooking for the family in the kitchen over there listened, curled her lips, and came to the door and said, "Mother, Mrs. Liu is different from rough daughters-in-law like us. She earns hundreds of dollars for embroidering a handkerchief." What about Wen. Even though his third uncle is a village head, if he dares to fight, do you think he will still fight with him? When we get to the town, it’s better to marry again than us first-timers.”

The mother-in-law rolled her eyes when she heard it, "You pretend I don't know, all her money is being used to study for her natal brother. If you want a man to serve you as a lowly servant, then die first and vote for it." Fetus, if it's a princess, then the mother-in-law will have to kneel down when she sees her, right?"

The daughter-in-law pursed her lips dryly, turned and went into the kitchen.

After going home and making arrangements, Fang Xiaocao, who came to Chen's house to pick up the note, felt that the atmosphere was condensed as soon as he came to this area.

At the open gate of a family facing east, an old lady was sitting on a small stool, eating dinner with a bowl of noodles in her hand. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "Because of your family, our area today is very busy." in argument."

Fang Xiaocao was puzzled, "What does this mean?"

"Old Mrs. Chen refused to let her son ask your family to pay more taxes. Her daughter-in-law didn't like it, so there was a quarrel. Many people saw it and choked up talking about their family when they got home." The old lady said Over 80 years old, the daughter-in-law has become a grandmother, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had quarreled when they were young are now on a good relationship with a peaceful mind. At this time, they said: "You used to live in the county, maybe you don't know how to live in the countryside. Rules, there are many things that you can get through with your head down."

Fang Xiaocao understood. The old lady reminded her kindly, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, I understand."

When she arrived at Chen's house, Mrs. Liu was about to go out with a small burden on her face with a cold face, so she immediately sneered and said, "If your family is tough, you must be tough."

In Fang Xiaocao's heart, she and Liu's relationship was due to a few days ago when they couldn't talk about the child. She didn't expect Liu's hostility to be so great.

But after thinking about it, listening to the old lady just now, maybe the Chen family asked her family to pay the tax for the wasteland, and it was the Liu family who asked for it.

"People in our family have tough bones," Fang Xiaocao said, looking at Chen Yaoguang who heard the voice coming out of the house, "Village Chief, bring me the note."

After the old lady's disturbance, Chen Yaoguang didn't intend to say anything more to the woman and child of the Lin family, but waited for Lin Jiale to come and talk to him.

Unexpectedly, he planned to let go, and this woman was still unwilling.

Chen Yaoguang took out the piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the ground, "If you don't mend it for me, then you can take it to the county to mend it yourself."

Fang Xiaocao looked at the paper on the ground, bent down and picked it up without saying anything.

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips in disdain, and looked at the thick-handed one, who looked like an old woman, and she didn't know what kind of luck she had, marrying a county man.

Two days later, the sun was fine in the morning, and the people who had been cats for the winter all went out, weeding and watering the fields, and every household was busy.

Chen Yaoguang was ready to go to the town for something, but before he reached the main road in the village, two guards with horses came over as soon as he turned the corner. In front was Zhao Zongjia from the town. The guard said: "Grandfather Deng, this is Chen Yaoguang, the head of Yishui Village."

"Zhao, Zongjia Zhao," Chen Yaoguang stammered, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" The guard surnamed Deng sneered, "Don't you know what you did yourself? Some people accused you of using a clever name to oppress the people, and the grandfather immediately sent him to the county for questioning."

Chen Yaoguang is very powerful in the village, but he has never seen any big scenes. Hearing this, his calf immediately became weak, and he just repeated: "No, sir."

Officer Deng and Officer Sun looked at each other, and said with a smile: "You're so brave, you still make up the name of tax collection."

"Give him your donkey to ride." Officer Deng said to Zongjia Zhao, "We'll send you back to town tomorrow."

Zongjia Zhao hurriedly said, "No need."

There are not many people at home at this hour, Zhao Zongjia saw that there was no one on the street for a while, and said, "Master Deng, why don't I go to the Chen's house and let me know?"

"Do you still need to notify?" Officer Deng said, "The road ahead is full of farmers, so they must have seen us. If we walk over, needless to say, someone will report to his house."

At this moment, Chen Yaoguang felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't even climb on the back of a donkey, which was not very tall, so he quickly answered, "Master, can you give me a clear explanation, is it my nephew Chunxing who is suing me?"

Officer Sun couldn't help laughing when he heard this title, "You don't even know who Young Master Lin is. This is it. Let me tell you, several years ago, the young master of our grandfather's family and the two inspectors The young master, the historians, and the chief bookkeeper are all good friends with Young Master Lin."

"One more thing, last year his uncle just got a Jinshi, and now he is the magistrate of Fuyang County." Officer Sun shook his head after finishing speaking, "It doesn't matter, after all, Young Master Lin's family has already branched out from the Lin family in Yi County."

"But the young master's face alone can't let you bully Master Lin, right?" Officer Deng sympathetically helped Chen Yaoguang, who was already slumped on the ground, "You still call him nephew? How dare he answer?" , do you dare to shout? Let’s go.”

In less than a quarter of an hour, the news that Chen Yaoguang was taken away by the county guards caused a sensation in the whole Yishui village.

In the Chen family, Mrs. Chen pushed open the courtyard door and ran to the east room where her son and daughter-in-law lived. She grabbed Mrs. Liu who was still asleep on the bed and slapped her twice.

Mrs. Liu was dazed at first, but when she saw Mrs. Chen's face, she yelled, "Chen Yaoguang, I won't let you go."

"Then get out immediately." Old lady Chen pointed at Mrs. Liu's nose and scolded, "You are so picky, you know that the Lin family is not easy, but you still pick Yaoguang to treat them, this is all right, my son was killed The county government took it away."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen sat on the ground and began to cry.

When Mrs. Liu got dressed and figured out the situation, it was already half an hour later. Chen Qingran cried with red eyes, stood beside her mother, and said in a low voice: "Mother, let's go to Lin's house, apologize to auntie, let her Go to the county to beg for mercy and let my father come back."

Liu's face was blank. She was naturally worried about Chen Yaoguang, but she couldn't believe that there would really be a phoenix flying to such a remote place.

Then what is Fang's reason?She is just a girl from the town, how did she marry the young master of the Lin family in Yi County?Why is she so promising in giving birth to that son?
He even knows many young masters in the county.

Thinking about it now, letting Chen Yaoguang rule their family is a joke. They don't even have to leave the house. They only need to send a letter to the county, and someone will come down and treat her as a man to rely on, like a little ant Pinch away.

It was really a mistake and a mistake at the beginning, she should have married to a high place, even if she was a concubine for a master Dian Shi, she would not suffer such a big grievance today.

Chen Qingran shook her mother, "Mother, you say something, but you are afraid."

Liu raised her hand to touch her daughter's forehead, and said in her heart that she would never let her go astray like her.

If you marry the wrong man, your life will be ruined.

Mrs. Chen suddenly rushed in from the outside, carrying a basket of pointed eggs in her hand, and when she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Liu still there in a daze, pointing and cursing: "Hey picky, why don't you show your head when it comes to things? Come with me to the Lin's house? If the Lin's family doesn't let go, just kneel there and don't get up. "
