Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 15
Zhang Zhe didn't say anything immediately.Because now his biggest weakness is information asymmetry.He doesn't know about the patriarch's usual behavior, grievances with his family, and whether the field matter is a temporary idea or a long-term plan.

He looked a little at a loss on his face, completely in line with the young man's immature and inexperienced appearance.As expected, a trace of contempt and joy flashed in the eyes of the patriarch of Huangya, but this person is not showing his face, and he looks very aristocratic.

Zhang Xiukan was about to say more, but the patriarch coughed lightly as if intentionally or unintentionally, and a man behind him immediately cut off Zhang Xiukan's words.

"Brother Kan, is it because you are closest to Erlang's family, thinking that Erlang has suffered a lawsuit, so you can take over those fields? You need to know if there are any blind people in our clan. They are all from the same family, how can you not I hope Erlang will be well!"

The other man also smiled at the old cousin: "You and him are the closest cousins. Whether your family can get rid of this lawsuit is not sure. If it is put under your name, it will have a bad reputation. Second, it’s not very safe, Brother Kan, don’t you think so?”

The old cousin's swarthy face suddenly turned purple with anger.

Then the old patriarch said slowly: "We are all a family, what are you doing with those words? It just hurt people's hearts, Xiu Kan is not that kind of person. You and I have been with him all these years, isn't he what he is? Some good words, Need to speak slowly, what are you doing anxiously and rolling your eyes, it's all for Erlang's sake, isn't it?"

The three men all flattered and said yes.

The patriarch turned his head and began to reprimand Zhang Xiukan: "You are not too young, why are you so ignorant?" The old man pointed to one of the men: "The boss of the Shan'er family works in Gongmen in the county. How can his family not know about Daodao in Gongmen? If it weren’t for the blood brothers in the same clan, who would want to take care of this for your cousin.”

Speaking of his pride, the old man squinted his eyes, and even his tone became cadenced.

"Hey, if it weren't for my uncle who loves that Erlang has no father or mother, I wouldn't force these families to take care of this relationship. Besides, these families are all tough in the clan, so I won't be ignorant of you Go to my younger brother's field, and some of the produce will be given back to Erlang every year, and I will watch them, and they will not dare to mess around."

After all, the patriarch is of the uncle's generation, and when he speaks, everyone can only listen to them no matter how they have opinions.But the young and vigorous Zhang Sanqi would not do it. He and his father are managing the ten acres of fine mountain spring and paddy fields, so how could these people be deceived.

Besides, his family is a servant of Zhang Zhe's family, not a servant of Zhang's family. The old man can't control him at all, so Sanqi stiffened his neck and interrupted the old man's words.

"Is the boss of his family from Shigongmen? San'er, who went back to Uncle Bao's house, was beaten by someone in the county. When he found his boss, he was just a helper who walked around after work. He didn't help Baobao. When my uncle talked, he was very angry. Look at Huang Hu'er from Renbei Village, who knocked out three teeth in the county, and Huang Lizheng brought him back the next day."

The man who was run over by him gave Sanqi a displeased look: "Why are you mentioning the Huang family? We still have a lot more people with the surname Zhang in this village, and we still have to be the master of our affairs!"

The old patriarch squinted his eyes, instead of looking at Sanqi, he looked at Zhang Xiukan instead: "Xiu Kan also thinks this is the old man's trouble?"

These words made the old cousin speechless for a while. After all, this is the head of the clan. If he answers according to this sentence, the reputation of disrespecting the elders will fall on him, and the family's reputation will be ruined. .But if he said no against his conscience, then his cousin's house would not be far from being broken.

At this time Zhang Zhe stood up and bowed respectfully to the old patriarch.

A man next to him couldn't help laughing: "Erlang, who used to be bluffing, how did he become so gentle once he got married?"

Zhang Zhe smiled shyly, looking more and more harmless to humans and animals.

In Sanqi's remarks just now, Huang Lizheng of the village was mentioned, and one of the men complained faintly to the Huang family.Moreover, when Sanqi mentioned Huang Lizheng, Zhang Zhe, who was on the sidelines, caught a trace of deeply hidden fear and hatred in the eyes of the old patriarch.

This is easy to handle.

"Uncle's kindness, I believe it is imprinted in my heart. There are also a few brothers in the clan who have helped me so generously, I believe I don't know how to express my gratitude."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhang Zhe's own people, even the old patriarch and the three men were a little dazed.Is this guy really a fool?Or was the joy of getting married today too much, and I was blinded for a while?
Zhang Zhe smiled a little embarrassedly: "I wonder if the three brothers can write a letter with me now?"

"Erlang!" A group of people behind Zhang Zhe screamed.

Zhang Zhe bowed to everyone apologetically: "You all know that you care about me, but how come you didn't understand my uncle's kindness? Besides, today's leader Jiang, hey, don't worry about it. Uncle is well-informed and knowledgeable. well considered."

He quickly turned around and went forward to grab the hand called "Brother Shan", and held it tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"Brother Shan, let's make a document right away!" Zhang Zhe didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and turned his head and called out to Bailu who was poking around the door, "Bailu asked your girl to sketch three contracts!"

The man was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out of Zhang Zhe's. The tighter Zhang Zhe grasped, the more flustered he became.

The old patriarch didn't panic, but looked at Zhang Zhe with some doubts, trying to judge whether the kid was acting.

Zhang Zhe dragged the man and begged in a low voice: "The eldest nephew of my brother's family can recognize someone in the house in the county. Will you be able to get this assignment document done in the next few days?"

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the old patriarch, and he said in a low voice: "The land and acres in the clan are allotted, so what's the use of reporting to the county? With someone as a guarantor, how dare the clan members not recognize it?"

Zhang Zhe was stunned for a moment, hesitating a bit: "If those public officials don't recognize it at that time, what should we do? Wouldn't my field be confiscated?"

"There is a contract, and the date is written in the last month, so I said that I exchanged the land for money to buy things for marriage, so that even the lawsuit can be fought." The old man was not confused at all.

Zhang Zhe patted his chest seemingly relieved, and sincerely praised: "Uncle still has a way!"

The old man looked at Zhang Zhe's dumbfounded look, and couldn't bear to ask: "Just now you mentioned what is going on with Team Leader Jiang?"

Zhang Zhe was a little scared, and his voice was almost inaudible: "The nephew and grandson stepped on the place where Jiang Bantou was in Meng's house, so he dismantled the sedan chair of the nephew and grandson, saying that he would come to talk to me soon."

Seeing the part Zhang Zhe was pointing at, the old man and the men gasped.

Zhang Zhe suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, he looked at the patriarch with a little nervousness: "Huang Li is right there in the village, please uncle try to hide it. There are people in his Huang family in the Gongmen, if we leak our secret The news of the transfer of the property was caught by the head of Jiang's team and found a few brothers, the nephew and grandson are really guilty!"

The faces of the three men suddenly changed drastically. The leader Jiang's prestige in the county is extremely terrifying, and he is notoriously fond of involving others and exploiting filth.Zhang Zhe had offended this person, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the other party's revenge. No wonder he jumped into the obvious trap of the old patriarch without even thinking about it.

They glanced at each other, and when they were hesitating, someone suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale again.

This person didn't care about Zhang Zhe's feelings at all, and dragged the other two to the patriarch's side and began to mutter: "Do you remember how much dowry the Meng family girl brought?"

"Fart's dowry, just a caravan, seven or eight bundles of books, I just saw it clearly. Those dowries must have been collected by the eunuchs at Meng's house. I think the eunuchs will really come to Erlang's house to give birth." It's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Brother Shan asked the patriarch in a low voice: "Uncle, we can't hide the matter of taking Erlang's family land from Huang Lizheng. Our surname Zhang has been at odds with them all the time. Will he bring the matter to Jiang Ban in the county?" Where is the head? My boss has said that this person is the most vicious and merciless, why don't Shitian fail to keep it and add our family?"

The old man grimaced: "The one surnamed Huang won't report it, otherwise he won't have to be a human in the village." According to their discussion before they came, these three families were responsible for farming Zhang Zhe's ten acres of land, and four of them The produce of the land belongs to the old man, so he is not willing to let it go at will.

Zhang Zhe didn't listen to their low-pitched discussion, but worriedly instructed Sanqi.

"Sanqi, you must keep your mouth shut about today's matter, don't Huang Lizheng didn't hear the news, but was heard by those Huang family members. Especially that Huang Huer, that kind of idle guy can't do anything with this handle ?”

Hearing this, the patriarch's face finally couldn't hold back.Although Huang Lizheng was concerned about his reputation, it was unlikely that he would bring the matter to the county, but the rascals surnamed Huang in the village would not have such scruples.

Zhang Zhe offended Team Leader Jiang in front of those many people, and the news would naturally spread everywhere.If Huang Hu'er, an idler, found out that the three families had secretly taken over Zhang Zhe's land, he wouldn't let Team Leader Jiang take it away.

These three families, and even the old man who was fighting among them, will be controlled by this rascal, so don't even think about living a peaceful life in the future.

Bailu felt that her own daughter married into Zhang's family, so she became stupid along with her son-in-law.After hearing Zhang Zhe's order, the girl actually wrote three contracts quickly and urged her to send them out quickly.

She came out with three pieces of paper, followed the girl's instructions, and handed the papers to the three men eagerly.Unexpectedly, those people actually used this paper as a charcoal stove for burning their hands, and no one dared to accept it.

The old patriarch looked at the paper, and after changing his face several times, he finally twitched his distressed face a few times, and scolded Zhang Zhe, "Why are you so Meng Lang? You hated that leader Jiang, so I can't help you." ", and then hurried away with a few people.

Zhang Zhe had no choice but to respectfully salute and send him off with disappointment.

When those people walked away, Zhang Zhe straightened up, the disappointment on his face was gone, and his face was full of indifference.
