Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 122 Tags
He felt really good, just like he was having a spa treatment.

This is also a way to practice the Su Nu Heart Sutra!
It may be a little slow, but it is a sustainable growth.

People also feel comfortable!
………………

Zhang Kaiwu thought of his sister-in-law who was visiting his home. He wondered if she had eaten well and gained weight in more than a week.

Should we go back and check on her?

The sister-in-law only has one brother-in-law. If he doesn't care about her, who will?

This time things are almost done, and everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

The atmosphere in the city of Peking is too depressing and there is no point in staying here.

There are too many machine gun holes on the arrow tower. It feels really uncomfortable to sleep within the range of machine gun fire.

What should we do if we accidentally hurt an innocent citizen?
Mr. He next door, according to Chen Xueru and the others, wasn't he accidentally injured by a stray bullet? ?

People were sitting in the pub and bullets were coming from the sky.

(Perhaps it was the bullet shot from the arrow tower.)
There's no compensation at all, no one knows who beat me, and there's no goal to seek revenge!

It's really a life worse than death!

Otherwise, why keep He Yongqiang? Wouldn't it be better to keep two concubines?! ?
...............

When I went back in the afternoon, I talked to Zhu Zhiyin and found out that we were going to the countryside again.

Zhu Zhiyin packed up a large pile of medical books and asked him to take them back to study.

If you have any questions, remember them and come to his lecture next time.

She had discovered that Zhang Kaiwu had already completed his university courses.

Today’s degrees are not divided into such standardized categories, and studies after college are generally conducted under the guidance of a tutor.

As for your actual level, it depends on the recommendation letter from your tutor.

If I say you can do it, then you can do it. If I say you can't do it, then that's OK too!
It doesn't matter if you say you can't do it or not.

Nowadays, when going to school, what matters is the recommendation letter, not other things.

The test scores can only be a reference, otherwise how could Zhang Kaiwu make old man Zhu so angry that he almost vomited blood?

There is really too much water in it and it is full of loopholes.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense can find a lot of drawbacks.

As for why so many smart people don’t speak up! ?

Only God knows!
...............

Took Lin Xiaoniang downstairs.

Zhang Kaiwu put the pile of books at the back, and Lin Xiaoniang also liked to sit in the front.

Even if the back of the bicycle was empty, Lin Xiaoniang still liked to sit in the front.

According to her, it was easier to talk to him this way, but it was all nonsense.

When passing by the Eight Great Hutongs, Lin Xiaoniang couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Master! With your lustful personality, why don't you go to a brothel and have some fun!?"

Zhang Kaiwu spoke the truth and said:
"The aesthetic point of view is different. The women in brothels are all small and thin, and very young."

"You haven't grown up yet, and you look sickly and weak. I don't like it."

I looked up at the brothel girls, it was time to go to work. I started to dress up in front of the window again, painting myself like a ghost.

What a misfortune!
Zhang Kaiwu lowered his head and said with a smile:
"They look pathetic, and I don't like that!"

Lin Xiaoniang smiled charmingly and said:

"Master, your hobbies are different from others. You are a good person!"

"Look at that shopkeeper Niu. He just likes to bully people like that. He is very bad."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Shopkeeper Niu played a joke on her just a month ago, but Lin Xiaoniang still continues to slander him.

The people who manage Shopkeeper Niu are actually quite nice.

He explained for Shopkeeper Niu:

"Everyone likes different things. Actually, I just think they are not pretty. If there is a brothel girl that I really think is pretty, I would also like to bully her."

Lin Xiaoniang smiled charmingly and said:

"I know you think they are young, Master, you are kind-hearted!"

Zhang Kaiwu was too lazy to say anything.

A woman!
They are all double standards.

They like to label every man according to how they feel about him.

Good or bad!
She labels a good man, no matter what bad things he does, he is still a good man.

She labels a man as a bad guy, no matter how many good things he does, he is still a bad guy!
Is Xu Hui really very old?

...............

When they returned to Xiangyi Manor, Chen Xueru greeted them with a smile.

Xiao Cui and the others were watching inside the shop, so Zhang Kaiwu took her home.

It’s still early to make dinner.

Lin Xiaoniang went to chat with Sister Xueru. Lin Xiaoniang smiled coquettishly and boasted about how Zhang Kaiwu was doing business today.

He has no interest in these.

Zhang Kaiwu stood in the yard and played farm tricks out of boredom.

His mental strength grew stronger, his experience points increased rapidly, and before he knew it, he was entranced and immersed in boxing and kicking.

His punches and kicks were so powerful that he attacked like a mad dog.

After Chen Xueru and the others finished chatting, they saw his boxing skills and couldn't help but shout:

"Good! Brother Kaiwu fought well!"

"Master! Good fight!"

The slaps made loud noises.

………………

Mr. He and Xu Hui next door were just about to enter the house when they heard his steps soften and they almost fell down!
Mr. He asked in a doubtful voice:

"Huizhen! Why is my little sister also joining in the fun? Is she attacking Chunhua?"

Xu Huizhen said awkwardly:

"Old man! Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't hit people very often. These are all rumors. He doesn't hit women. He's just joking."

"Sister Chunhua is not at home now. She lives in the university and studies with Zhang's fourth concubine. I heard that she will work in the university in the future."

Mr. He said awkwardly:

"I know! I know he doesn't hit women. Hitting Manager Yan was an accident. Huizhen, why don't you go and use your connections to persuade him? He Yongqiang is still hiding in the countryside."

"If you're tired of playing, just take a rest at Xueru's house."

Xu Huizhen looked at Mr. He awkwardly for a long time and found that he was avoiding her gaze.

She got it!

The old man, who was very experienced, had already seen through the truth of what she was trying to persuade him to do.

Mr. He was afraid that she didn't do her job well, so he asked her to continue to work on the research!
Save He Yongqiang's life.

Why bother persuading him? The old man understands everything. He is just afraid that He Yongqiang will be beaten!
She was angry, ashamed and annoyed.

He Yongqiang caused the trouble, and I have to kneel down and beg for mercy! ?

One time is not enough, want to continue?
Although she had fun playing with Manager Zhang, Xu Huizhen still felt very angry that she was forced to go.

Staring at Mr. He, Xu Huizhen asked awkwardly:

"What will Yongqiang do if he finds out about the things I asked for?"

Mr. He stared at the door and said in an awkward voice:

"You just went to Xueru's house to play, what could happen? Go ahead and talk to Shopkeeper Zhang. I'll go back first."

Watching Mr. He go in and lock the door! ?
...............

Angry and anxious, Xu Huizhen felt that Mr. He was too biased.

Without any choice.

Xu Huizhen came to the next room awkwardly and shyly, and stood there for a while before she mustered up the courage.

She knocked lightly on the doorknob and whispered through the crack:

"Xue Ru! Open the door!"

Chen Xueru and Lin Xiaoniang were still cheering for Zhang Kaiwu and didn't hear it.

Zhang Kaiwu heard it with his sharp ears, stopped practicing Kung Fu, and ran to open the door for her.

He asked in confusion:

"Huizhen! Come in, what's going on?"

Xu Huizhen walked in shyly, blushing and humming softly:

"Manager Zhang! I'm here... to play."

Zhang Kaiwu closed the door and hugged her soft body.

Look at her trembling with fear, as if she was on the edge of an abyss.

Seeing him so scared, could it be that Huizhen ran into the wrong door because of the fever? ?

I touched her forehead and found her face was very red, but she didn't have a fever! ?

Didn’t we fight enough last time?

Lin Xiaoniang ran over with a charming smile and said jokingly:

"You bastard, did you know that our master is going back to the countryside tomorrow, and you rushed over to steal a meal?!"

Chen Xueru smiled and pulled Xu Huizhen, saying:

"Huizhen! No matter how good Brother Kaiwu is, he is still my family. You can't just come and eat him without permission, right?"

Xu Huizhen was very shy, staring at this and that...

He clenched his fists and looked unconvinced.

Lin Xiaoniang smiled charmingly and said:

"Yo, yo, yo! You come here to steal from our master, and you want to beat him up?"

Chen Xueru said jokingly with a smile:
"Huizhen! You wild girl dare to come to my house and make trouble? Get out of the way and Brother Wu will kill you."

...............

It was embarrassing to see them fighting with Xu Huizhen.

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed his nose and went to the kitchen to cook. Wait until his meal is ready.

The three women had finished their discussion in the yard, and came over sighing to help serve the dishes, looking deeply moved.

An expression full of complaints and concern for the country and the people.

Zhang Kaiwu asked, but they didn't say anything, so he was too lazy to ask a second time.

After dinner, I washed up.

Huizhen blushed and came over neatly wearing a bellyband to enjoy the cool air.

While Lin Xiaoniang was still making tea and lighting a cigarette for him, Huizhen had already started to demonstrate her drinking skills.

It is indeed a great progress.

From time to time she would give him a satisfied wink and stare at him with a smile.

His face looked intoxicated.

After a while, Xu Huizhen started to practice the fairy squat again.

And she was acting very strange today. Last time, even when she was almost beaten to death, she gritted her teeth and refused to say a word, just humming softly.

This time, before Zhang Kaiwu could fight back, she started crying bitterly.

With a face full of grief, he was still shouting:

"Shopkeeper Zhang! You're going to beat me to death! Uh-huh! Hit me more gently! Uh-huh! I'm going to be beaten to death, Shopkeeper Zhang, please spare my life..."

Chen Xueru gave him a massage with a smile on her face, as if he didn't see anything.

The sharp-tongued Lin Xiaoniang did not take the opportunity to ridicule Huizhen.

There is unexpected harmony in the home.

Zhang Kaiwu was so annoyed that he really picked up Huizhen and beat her up again.

I told you to remember this!

There is a price to pay for acting for me.

Chen Xueru and Lin Xiaoniang were not spared either, and they were all beaten up severely!
The whole house was in chaos.

In fact, I have to go back to the countryside tomorrow, so I should comfort them.

...............

The next morning was late.

Zhang Kaiwu had just gotten up and finished his breakfast, but the key point was that Chen Xueru had been pestering him for a long time in the morning.

She calmed down after being beaten, and Zhang Kaiwu and Chen Xueru slowly came into the store.

Lin Xiaoniang had already packed up the clothes for him, including Liang Ladi's and his sister-in-law's.

There were also some of Zhang Kaiwu's clothes, tied into a big bundle.

He casually gave her ten dollars, and Chen Xueru took it with a smile.

She is much wiser now and doesn't dwell on these things anymore.

Zhang Kaiwu is very rich, so if she is given it, he will take it generously, and if she is not given it, he will not want it either!
Just think of it as pocket money for her.

I didn't dare to say those strong words, for fear of affecting his impression of me.

Moreover!
Zhang Kaiwu has ordered so many clothes, and Xiangyi Zhuang cannot afford the loss if she doesn't pay.

How much money can she make from this shop in a year?
Zhang Kaiwu is now her biggest client.

...............

He rode his bike slowly, found a place where there was no one, and put away the big bag.

Zhang Kaiwu slowly walked out of the city from Dongzhimen. It was very lively outside.

Outside the city of Peking, there are many more homeless vagrants.

The garrison prohibited the wandering troops from entering the city and were pushing and shoving each other.

He didn't care about these trivial matters and rushed all the way to Qinjiatun.

Only after we got onto the path did we organize two baskets, which contained some braised meat and pork.

Some snacks, new towels, daily necessities and that kind of stuff.

It is the slack season now and there are not many people in the fields.

Some of the corn in the field next door has already sprouted.

Zhang Kaiwu returned home anxiously, eager to see if his sister-in-law had gained weight.

Just when I was almost home, I was spotted by Qin Huairu, who was teaching her sister-in-law to ride a bicycle at the door. She shouted happily:

"Brother Kaiwu! You're back. Sister Zhaodi! Brother Kaiwu is back."

Everyone in the room came out to greet him. My sister-in-law blushed and looked at him evasively.

The luster on her face became much rosier and she looked a little prettier.

Zhang Kaiwu was just about to give his sister-in-law a hug to test her quality.

He found that Liang Ladi was looking at him with fear and blushing face, and there was a strange girl next to her, looking at him tremblingly.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at the girl and found that she was 80% similar to Liang Ladi and they were about the same age, so he understood immediately.

This should be her sister.

When the eldest or second sister-in-law came to visit relatives, Liang Ladi blushed because she was embarrassed. Why was she afraid?
The question is, am I that terrible!?

Your sister is just visiting relatives, and she trembles when she sees me! ?
I don't hit anyone.

………………

The atmosphere is so weird!

Even Qin Huairu was staring at him cautiously.

The young lady quickly pulled Zhang Kaiwu and said with a smile:

"Kaiwu! Come with me for a moment. I'll tell you the situation."

After the young lady pulled him aside and explained something, Zhang Kaiwu knew the reason.

There is a severe flood in Baihe River!

When he came out today, he saw a large group of homeless people outside the city of Peking, whose homes were washed away by the flood.

The heavy rain the night before yesterday came too suddenly and too quickly.

The Baihe River and Chaohe River flood every year, so the Miyun Reservoir was built for this purpose.

After the completion of this reservoir, it will provide living water and farmland irrigation for tens of millions of people in Beijing and Tianjin.

You can imagine how big these two rivers are and how much water flow they have.

There are floods every year, but never as big as this year!

The key is to be urgent!
The rain was heavy and fast, and it was night time.

Zhang Kaiwu remembered that Lin Xiaoniang was busy at that time, and the sky suddenly became dark.

The Baihe River and the Chaohe River were flooded, so Liang Ladi's second brother-in-law and a group of people in the village reclaimed land along the river.

After the busy farming season is over every year, they go to the riverbed to work the fields for a season to try their luck. If they are lucky, they will live much better than others.

If you have bad luck, you will lose some seeds.

The people in their village are much richer than those in other villages because of these wild lands.

In order to make it easier to continue working tomorrow, they rested by the river bank at night as they did in the past.

The water level was rising so fast and it was raining so heavily that we couldn't see the road.

Nine out of ten people in this era are night-blind.

As a result, seven or eight of the ten or so men in the village were washed away by the flood.

One of those men was her husband.

In this era, is it possible that a landlubber could survive being washed away by a flood? ?

In other words, Liang Ladi’s second sister Liang Hongyu became a young widow?

Liang Hongyu didn't have any children yet, and her mother-in-law thought she was a disaster star and very unlucky.

In order to marry her, he asked her family for so much money as a dowry, but they have been married for less than three months and she has not conceived a child.

The next day, her brothers-in-law took back the house and the two acres of land and drove her out alone.

She wasn't allowed to take anything away!

It’s a journey of more than twenty kilometers.

When I was thirsty, I drank water from the river, and when I was hungry, I just endured it.

Liang Hongyu finally returned to Liangjia Village in the dark. Liang Ladi's parents thought she was unlucky and drove her out overnight.

The kind-hearted people in Liangjia Village felt sorry for her and told her something.

Her younger sister, Liang Ladi, married a wealthy man from the next village.

Maybe I can give her a bite to eat! ?

It was from Qinjiatun. Liang Hongyu slowly came over last night to seek refuge with her sister.

Looking at the girl in front of me, she is at most eighteen years old! ?
Wearing the old clothes of the former young lady, he looked at his girl tremblingly.

To say that she is a disaster star is definitely nonsense.

The husband's family coveted the two acres of land, but Liang Hongyu's pots and pans were the real things.

Her parents don’t want to keep her because they can’t sell her!
The large group of people outside the city of Peking had no idea how much land and homes were flooded by this great flood.

They are all disaster stars! ?
What a misfortune!
In the case of Liang Ladi's second sister, there is no marriage law to protect her.

There is no property protection either.

It was perfectly legitimate for her in-laws to kick her out.

The most important thing is that she has no children, or rather, no sons.

If she stays, the land and pots and pans of her husband's family will never be taken back!

The name is not justified.

So Liang Hongyu was driven out by her husband's brothers and mother-in-law, and even village justice was on her mother-in-law's side!
Zhang Kaiwu couldn't get justice for her unless he wiped out her mother-in-law's family.

But what would it matter if her mother-in-law's family was wiped out? Liang Hongyu still couldn't survive in that village.

The fucking era.

………………

Liang Ladi looked at him nervously and fearfully. She had been very close to her second sister since childhood.

As they were of similar age, her second sister also took care of her and often saved food for her to eat more.
