After a while, the old wife Qian rushed out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, pointed at Chen Changsheng and cursed: "You old coffin! Who messed with you? Why are you angry at home?"

As he spoke, he waved the rolling pin to whip him.

Chen Changsheng was startled, and quickly jumped up and ran out of the yard. Seeing his old wife standing at the gate of the yard and not chasing him, he jumped up and shouted, "You're against me! Dare to beat your husband, and I'll see how I deal with you when I go back!"

Before the words were finished, seeing the old wife chasing after her with a rolling pin again, she was so frightened that she ran to Dongchen Village.

People in the East Village are all going fishing by the river now, and most of the children even go to watch the excitement.

Chen Changsheng wandered to the edge of the pond and sat down on a rock to rest his feet.

I thought of how I had put my heart and soul into thinking about the villagers, but in exchange for complaints from those white-eyed wolves.

And his own son is not up to date, and even his grandchildren are not educated well.

Now no one can understand him, let alone understand him, no matter what he does is wrong, he is not as good as others.

The more Chen Changsheng thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more sad he became, he couldn't help but choked up.

"Grandpa Chen, what are you doing?" A child's voice sounded from behind.

Startled, Chen Changsheng quickly wiped his eyes, turned around, and saw several children standing not far away, looking at him curiously.

Each of them carried a small bamboo basket filled with red dates, which seemed to be harvested from nearby fruit forests.

Seeing that Chen Changsheng's eyes were red, as if he had cried, Yingbao couldn't help being curious.

Why is Old Man Chen crying while sitting by the pond?Do you want to commit suicide by diving here?

Oh, this is not possible, the pond is an important living material for my family, it would be scary if someone died in it.

The nearby villagers wash rice, vegetables and clothes in this pond, so they must not be polluted.

"Grandpa Chen, this is for you to eat." Yingbao stepped forward and stuffed a basket of red dates into Chen Changsheng's hands: "It's so sweet, you can take it back and eat it with Yaya and the others."

Chen Changsheng's little granddaughter is called Yaya, who is as old as her and often comes to play recently.

Chen Changsheng grabbed the bamboo basket, his eye circles became even redder, he quickly turned around, avoiding Yingbao's sight, grabbed a jujube, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with tears.

His own grandchildren were not so considerate, but Xiaoyingbao made him happy with a basket of jujubes.

What kind of shit luck did Old Man Jiang have to meet such a little granddaughter.

Seeing that Chen Changsheng started wiping tears again, Yingbao became more and more worried that he would commit suicide, so she persuaded again: "Grandpa Chen, you should go home quickly, I saw that Laoshuan Chen from your village has gone to your house."

Chen Laoshuan not only went to Chen Changsheng's house, but also came to find his grandfather, old man Jiang, to thank Chunniang for his granddaughter Chen Zhao, who brought his granddaughter back from so far away.

When Chen Changsheng heard that Chen Laoshuan was looking for him, he knew that there must be something wrong, so he quickly thanked Yingbao and went home with a bamboo basket.

Watching Chen Changsheng go away, Yingbao heaved a sigh of relief and led the children back to the fruit forest to pick apples and pears from the trees.

Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, we must pick more fruits to sacrifice to the moon.

Fortunately, my orchard has everything, such as persimmons, chestnuts, dates, hawthorns, apples and pears. Although most of them have been picked and sent to the shop, there are still many left on the trees.

She will go to the vineyard to look for it later, maybe she can find a few bunches of late-ripening grapes.

Wei Zhan took aim at an apple tree, lifted the corner of his robe and tucked it around his waist, and clasped the tree with both hands and climbed up.

Five-year-old Xiao Chengyu also wanted to climb, but was held tightly by the guards.

Xiao Chengyu twisted left and right, unable to break free, couldn't help being furious, kicked the guard with his feet, and yelled: "Sister Yingbao! Come and beat him!"

Yingbao glanced at the little boy and said, "You will fall when you climb up, so just pick it up from below."

He pointed at the little demon: "Look at how good he is, he has picked up so many, and later we will compare who has the most fruit in the basket, and I will show whoever has the most fruit in the basket."

Now she has a good way of deceiving children, holding something in the palm of her hand and asking them to guess whether it is in the left hand or the right hand, but they can't guess any of them.

Of course, if they were obedient, she would be merciful and let them guess once, and give them candy palms, or other trinkets.

This trick has been tried and tested, and no child can resist the little toy she took out.

These toys were all bought in the capital, such as cowhide slingshots, bamboo dragonflies, colorful mud dogs, Fangtian painted halberds made of peach wood, and bamboo snakes.

But Xiao Chengyu turned a deaf ear to Yingbao's words, he just wanted to climb the tree, and started crying if he didn't climb.

The guard was so haunted by him that he had no choice but to help him climb up a short tree.

Ying Bao didn't care about them, and took Xiao Yao and her two younger brothers to collect fruit under the tree.

Wei Zhan and Huzi Yuanbao, who climbed up the tree, picked a fruit and threw it down, and the children under the tree would catch it with their bare hands and put it in a basket.

Jiang Wu likes this job the most, and he is the one who takes the most jobs from here to there.

In the evening, Jiang Cheng also rushed home from the county seat.

A few people came down from the carriage, it turned out to be my aunt Jiang Yunniang and her son and daughter.

Immediately afterwards, she took another boy doll from the car, about two or three years old, born to her husband's concubine.

The male doll looked at the Jiang family members timidly, curled his lips and wanted to cry but didn't dare, his little hands tightly grasped his elder brother Zhang Yuying's sleeve.

"Yunniang, this is..." Jiang Liushi looked at the little baby, hesitating to speak.

Jiang Yunniang said lightly: "It's my concubine's child, named Zhang Xiaolang, and I'm taking care of it now."

Said and waved to the child: "Xiao Lang, come here and kowtow to grandma."

Under the guidance of his elder brother Zhang Yuying, Zhang Xiaolang knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Liushi: "Grandma."

Jiang Liushi was a little awkward, and didn't understand why the daughter would bring the child born to her concubine back to her natal family.

But he still pulled the child up and gave him a piece of chestnut cake, "Hey, eat it."

Jiang Yunniang asked the child to kowtow to old man Jiang again, "This is grandpa."

Zhang Xiaolang kowtowed to Old Man Jiang again in a daze.

Afterwards, Jiang Yunniang asked her son Zhang Yuying to take the child out to play, and then she sat down and talked to her:

"I am Zhang Jia's official wife. The concubine's son will either call me mother, or be a lowly slave with that concubine! You have no choice but to agree to raise the child under my knee."

Jiang Liushi sighed, and said to her daughter: "This is true, but you should take good care of it, and don't do such shady things."

"What shameful things can my daughter do?" Jiang Yunniang didn't take it seriously, "I let him eat and drink well, and he was well fed."

From then on, this child was the blade in her Jiang Yunniang's hand, designed to stab the heart of that couple.

The old man Jiang was smoking dry cigarettes, and asked his daughter: "Er Quan said that you set up a small food stall next to their shop, how is the business?"

Jiang Yunniang picked up a piece of chestnut cake and ate it, "It's okay, most of the scholars from the opposite county school come to buy it, and they can earn two to three hundred cash a day, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink."

Old man Jiang: "What about Yukun? He is 17 years old, are you going to let him set up a stall with you for the rest of his life?"

"What can I do if I don't set up a stall? The shop at home has been handed over to my concubine by a dog, and it has been filed with the county government, or I will come back..."

Jiang Yunniang wiped her eyes, sniffed her nose and said, "Yukun knew about this a long time ago, but he and his father kept it from me."

He said with a sneer: "In this case, he will set up a stall for the rest of his life. I am a girl, and it is not bad to get my nephew to agree to let us set up a stall next to the specialty shop. There is nothing else I can do."
