The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 35 Come and see my brother

"I have already chosen the day to open the ancestral hall, it will be the day after tomorrow." The old patriarch said softly.

Lu Zhengyi said happily, "Okay, Uncle Patriarch, thank you for your hard work."

The old patriarch waved his hands and reassured the three of them, "Don't take the words of those ignorant women to heart. Everyone else in the village believes in Mian Niang. What you have to do now is to raise your children well. Since After raising him and adding him to my Lu family’s family tree, I must treat him as my own and teach him well.”

Lu Zheng assured with a serious expression, "Uncle Chief, don't worry, we understand."

"Yeah. Go home quickly!" The old patriarch nodded and said.

Lu Zheng and the others said hello and walked towards home with relaxed hearts.

They felt relieved, and the group of people who had lost money came together in anger.

"There were times when we would just say a few words casually, but no one cared so much about it. On the other hand, that woman Tang Mian wanted to send us to the Yamen. Bah!"

"That's right, saying a few words about her won't make you lose any weight. How can you be so serious?"

"In the final analysis, Tang Mian is still petty, and so is my aunt. She had to drag us to find the clan leader, causing us to lose fifty coins in vain."

"You are fifty cents, I am three hundred cents." Zhang Lanhua said viciously.

pissed her off!

The rest of the people all turned to Zhang Lanhua, feeling angry, "Auntie, it was you who told Tang Mian that he had a good relationship outside. Three hundred yuan is not unjust. We just said a few words casually, and we have to pay fifty yuan. That's the truth." died unjustly."

Zhang Lanhua snorted coldly, "Isn't that what you think in your heart, otherwise why would you answer my words? Moreover, I said that Tang Mian probably has a crush outside, but I didn't say that there must be a crush."

"That's what you started talking about." A young woman retorted.

Zhang Lanhua glared at her, "Then you answered the call without thinking, and you answered the most."

Some people felt really guilty and grateful, "We really shouldn't have said that to Tang Mian. Fortunately, she didn't pursue the case and only paid [-] yuan. If she went to the Yamen, she would have to give her a slap in the face."

It is definitely impossible for the family to spend a few taels of silver to avoid a meal.

"Now, Tang Mian's family has made a fortune." Someone sighed.

Aunt Zhang was compensated 450 Wen, the nine of them were compensated 750 Wen, and Tang Mian received a total of [-] Wen in compensation.

"Get rich? I will use the money to buy medicine for them." Zhang Lanhua said viciously.

"Don't forget, Lu Zheng's hand was injured. I heard that he can't be a bricklayer. The breadwinner of the family can't make money, what can the two women and one child do?" At this point, Zhang Lanhua thought in her heart My breath has calmed down a bit.

"The child adopted by Tang Mian is very expensive to raise. Their family has no income now. Can they feed the child? Don't keep him until he starves to death!" Zhang Lanhua said with a smile on her face. There was a smile on the face.

"Hmph! That's right, when one day their family is so hungry that they have no food to eat, I will definitely give them two bowls of white rice regardless of past grudges." The young woman from before said through gritted teeth.

"Isn't it okay for us to say this?" A weak voice reached everyone's ears.

The others also nodded slightly, it was indeed not good.

The young woman glanced at them irritably and said, "You're just pretending. You paid fifty cents for nothing, so you should think about how to explain it to your mother-in-law when you get home!"

These words attracted the echo of many people.

The reason why they followed Zhang Lanhua and spread rumors about Tang Mian was because they were jealous that she had a good mother-in-law.

"Yes, I don't know how my mother-in-law will scold me yet."

"That's right, my man is fine, and my mother-in-law will definitely not let me go."

"My old woman is not a fuel-efficient person at all."

Thinking of their mother-in-law who often teased them at home, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Only Zhang Lanhua, now a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, is the master of the family. Apart from being heartbroken and losing money, she is not afraid of being scolded.

A group of young women sneaked home and tried their best to avoid their mother-in-law. Unfortunately, it backfired and they were greeted by their own brooms.

"I'll beat you to death for being such a prodigal bitch. You only get into trouble if you don't do business all day long." This scene happened in many places.

On the other side, it was late at night when Tang Mian and the others returned home.

When they walked into the house, they saw the little guy sitting in the yard, waiting for them quietly.

"Zhuang Zhuang, why don't you rest in your room?" Tang Mian asked.

As soon as the little guy saw the three of them, he stood up happily and walked over, "Grandpa, grandma, mother, I want to see you at first sight when you come back."

"Oh! What a good grandson grandma is." Mrs. Li happily touched Zhuang Zhuang's little face, and all her depression was swept away.

"But Zhuangzhuang, next time you stay in the house and rest, don't sit here and wait."

Zhuang Zhuang nodded obediently.

Lu Zheng looked at the interaction between his mother-in-law and grandson with a happy face.

Having a child at home makes me really happy.

"Grandpa, grandma, mother, have you finished your work?" Zhuang Zhuang looked at the three of them without blinking.

Lu Zheng and Li looked at each other and then looked at Tang Mian, wondering what she had said to Zhuang Zhuang.

Tang Mian smiled and rubbed his strong little head, "It's all done. Go back to your room and rest. Grandma and I will cook."

"Let's go, grandpa will take you back to your room." After hearing this, Lu Zheng stepped forward and took Zhuang Zhuang's hand.

Zhuang Zhuang obediently let Lu Zheng hold his hand and went back to the room with him.

Tang Mian and Li went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

There was still some dry corn rice left at noon, so Tang Mian directly added water and cooked it into porridge.

Warm up the leftover vegetables, grab some pickles from the jar, and dinner is almost ready.

"Mian Niang, don't pay attention to what those people say. My parents believe you." Mrs. Li said while lighting the fire and looking at Tang Mian who was busy at the stove.

Tang Mian's heart warmed slightly, "Mom, don't worry, I don't care at all what they say. Now I just want to earn more money to buy medicine for Zhuang Zhuang and treat his illness, and I will be filial to you."

"That's good." After hearing Tang Mian's words, Li felt relieved.

After the porridge was cooked, Tang Mian brought a large basin to fill with some cold water, and then put all the bowls of porridge in it, so that it could cool down faster.

After finishing it, Tang Mian heated up the leftovers from lunch and went to grab pickles from the jar.

It was already half past midnight after the family finished eating. Tang Mian was cleaning up the kitchen while Lu Zheng and Li Shi took Zhuang Zhuang to enjoy the cool weather in the yard.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lu Zheng stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan, and Li and Zhuang Zhuang also looked at the door.

"I'll open the door." Lu Zheng stood up and said.

"Xiaomei, it's you!" Lu Zheng opened the door and saw Lu Zhiqiang's daughter-in-law Wu Mei.

"Uncle Three."

"Three grandpas."

Lu Zheng was stunned and looked down, "Maomao, you little guy is here too! I'm sorry, the third grandpa didn't see you just now."

Maomao put his little fleshy hands on his fat waist and snorted angrily, "Grandpa Third, Maomao is angry."

Wu Mei raised her hand and slapped him on the back, "Be honest."

After beating her son, Wu Mei looked at Lu Zheng sheepishly and smiled, "Third uncle, I'm here to give Zhuang Zhuang some sets of clothes. This kid has to follow him to see his brother."
