Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 368
Before noon, the county magistrate arrived in a sedan chair.

When I got out of the sedan chair, I saw a dozen or so people tied aside, their mouths gagged, and they could only sob and look for help.

The county magistrate was worried. He knew very well that these people bullied the Ye brothers back then, but the Ye family is a big family in their county, so this is always bad.

They got inside smoothly, and got the hospitality from Ye Xiuwen and Ye Xiujin. Although it wasn't very warm, at least they didn't have a cold face.

In terms of official position, Ye Xiuwen is higher than him, and he has a title, so it is good enough to let him in.

Brother Ye Xiuwen, the county magistrate, Fourth Uncle Ye and his two sons ate at the same table.

Fourth Uncle Ye's family would usually respectfully avoid the magistrate when they saw the county magistrate, but today they had dinner at the same table, and the county magistrate even took the initiative to toast with him, an old farmer, calling him fourth uncle, which seemed very affectionate.

After dinner, the county magistrate discussed with Ye Xiuwen to release the people outside.

Ye Xiuwen said: "I didn't really want to send people to prison, wouldn't it cause trouble for you. Don't worry, this is a family matter for us, we can solve it ourselves. If there is anything wrong, I will go back and work with you." The emperor apologizes."

Then they were released in front of the county magistrate, but Ye Xiuwen said that the ancestral hall would be opened tomorrow to discuss matters, but no one objected, and they all ran away.

The county magistrate also left with a sad face. Since it is a family matter, why did he drag out the emperor?Does Cheng Enhou mean that you are not qualified to take care of his affairs?
In the afternoon, Ye Xiuwen and Ye Xiujin followed Uncle Ye's family to the place where Uncle Ye lived.

It took an hour for the carriage to arrive.

The village here is also very big, but Fourth Uncle Ye took them through the village and walked straight to the back of the village. When they got to a very remote place, they saw a thatched hut with two chickens running in the yard surrounded by bamboo fences. come and go.

Seventh Uncle was sitting in the yard weaving bamboo strips. He raised his head and looked over when he heard Fourth Uncle Ye's voice.

First, I met Fourth Uncle Ye: "Why are you here? Are you not busy at home?"

After speaking, he looked at the two handsome young men beside him, and there were many servants behind him.

He didn't recognize it for a moment, but he heard Ye Xiujin and Ye Xiuwen bow and shout: "Uncle Qi!"

After shouting like that, Uncle Qi recognized that this was Brother Ye Yexiujin.

He stood up excitedly, and only said: "Come in, come in! You are not dead! That's good, that's good!"

Uncle Qi asked them to sit in, but the room was really dark and shabby, so he broke the stool and sat in the yard.

Ye Xiuwen saw that Uncle Seven had difficulty walking, and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Seven's legs?"

The fourth uncle replied: "When you had an accident, your seventh uncle and I searched for a long time on the mountain but found no one. We only saw a lot of corpses and blood all over the ground. I took your two elder brothers to dig a hole on the spot to bury those people." Dead, but your seventh uncle ran back with someone and went directly to the patriarch, and then there was a conflict, your seventh uncle's leg was broken, and he was kicked out of Yejia Town."

"When we came back, no one was there. I heard that they came back here. My family was also poor, so there was nothing I could do. Later, I collected some money and asked Xiaosi to go to the capital to find out if you had returned, but in the end it didn't work. Needless to say, I didn’t hear the news, but I actually came back with food.”

Listening to his father's reprimand and rolling his eyes, the honest fourth brother just laughed.

Ye Xiujin reached out and patted Fourth Brother's shoulder: "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your hard work!"

Uncle Qi took out a stoneware bowl from the house and poured water for them.

Ye Xiujin and Ye Xiuwen didn't dislike it, they just took it up and drank it.

After drinking, Ye Xiuwen asked, "Uncle Seven, where is Aunt Seven?"

Seventh Uncle sighed: "He died of illness three years ago. Your Fifth Brother went to work at Landlord Zhang's house and didn't come back until evening."

A woman wearing patched clothes came out of the room, she looked like Fifth Brother's daughter-in-law, lowered her head and put a plate of peanuts on the table in front of them, then went back quickly.

Uncle Qi said: "This is your fifth sister-in-law who fled from other places. Our family took a bag of rice in exchange for her to be a daughter-in-law. She is honest and hardworking, but she is timid and doesn't like to talk."

There was still a baby crying in the room, and Uncle Qi showed a smile on his face: "The fifth child is a girl, just three months old."

Ye Xiuwen said: "Uncle, we are here to take you back to Yejia Town, do you have anything to take away, my people will help clean it up! Shall I have someone call Fifth Brother back?"

Uncle Seven's eyes widened: "Can we go back?"

No matter what, he wanted to go back to his own home, that was the root, living here was like being dependent on others, and he would not even give them a piece of land.

It is really difficult for the family to rely on him to weave some baskets and other things to sell, and for his son to go to the landlord's house to work.

Fourth Uncle Ye smiled smugly: "Ah Wen is now Lord Marquis, the county magistrate came to see him at noon today, and we had dinner together, and the county magistrate even called me Fourth Uncle, hahahaha!"

After hearing this, Uncle Qi looked at Ye Xiuwen and Ye Xiujin again, seeing that they were really well dressed, he suddenly wiped away his tears: "I thought I was going to die outside in this life, but I didn't expect to be able to go back alive, very good! "

Soon, Fifth Brother Ye also came back. This person has changed a lot, he is about the same age as Ye Xiujin, but now he looks dark and haggard, and also very silent.

Their house is bare and there are very few things that they really need to clean up. Besides, they will live in the villa when they go back, and they have everything, so they don't need to bring anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Qi simply waved his hand and said he didn't want them all. He only took the child's things and the only copper coin, and the rest of the things will be packed later.

When I returned to the villa, it was dark, and there were two red lanterns hanging at the door, and there were guards with knives guarding the door.

It was the first time Uncle Ye Qi and his son saw this magnificent villa, and they were dumbfounded for a moment.

Brother Wu couldn't believe it. He looked at his dirty and torn clothes and asked, "Are we staying here tonight?"

Ye Xiujin smiled and said, "We will live here from now on. We will leave in a year. The house must be occupied by someone. Besides, I don't feel relieved to hand it over to the servants. Only Seventh Uncle and Fifth Brother can rest assured."

Even the fourth uncle is a little envious, such a big house is equivalent to giving them to the seventh uncle.

But thinking of the sufferings of Uncle Qi's family, he felt that he should, and he couldn't have any thoughts.

The yard for their family has been prepared. The seventh uncle lives in the room on the left side of the main room, the fifth brother and his wife live in the wing room, and a mother-in-law is sent to help take care of the children.

The family had a happy meal, including Mr. Zhou who also came to accompany him, but just sat down.

Master Zhou's wife also came and had dinner with the female relatives in the backyard.

The fifth brother's daughter-in-law changed her clothes after washing, and her whole body has changed. She looks white and clean, and she looks pretty. People say that people rely on clothes and Buddhas rely on gold clothes, which really makes sense.

The men in the front yard talked about what had happened in the past few years, and they all drank too much, but they were so happy!
