Fair Lady

Chapter 36 The Uninvited Guest

Xiutao opened her small mouth and forgot to cry. She looked at Dashan's daughter-in-law who threw herself on the ground, and at the flat basket of soybeans that Shuyao knocked over in front of her. What's the matter? Didn't the aunt want to beat her?How did you fall down?

"Ah, yo, it hurts to death, ah, yo, my waist is broken." Dashan's daughter-in-law stood up and wanted to get up, but she stepped on the soybeans again with her tiptoes, and fell heavily on the ground again, almost breaking her jaw. "Damn Dashan, why don't you pull me up quickly? Hurry up, beat me up with these two stinky girls, how dare you harm me."

At this moment, Mrs. Jiujin and Carpenter Xu arrived with several neighbors.Shuwen and Dongsheng also ran back, pointing at Zhang Dashan and the others: "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?"

Mrs. Zhang snorted: "Our Zhang family raises the three of you brothers, and this is how you treat your benefactor? You really are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

Sister-in-law Jiujin exclaimed: "You are raising their brothers? Who are you? Where did you get this lunatic? Is there anything wrong? Dongsheng, I just saw Wang Butou and the others on the street in front of you. Go and get him If you find him, you will say that a lunatic has come to Xia Butou's house to make trouble."

Ordinary people, especially people from the countryside like Zhang Dashan, are most afraid of hearing words like official office and fast arrest, and it is a big deal for them to get into trouble with officials.

"No, no," Zhang Dashan quickly jumped out to hold Dongsheng, but it was a pity that Dongsheng, a six or seven-year-old boy, was the slipperiest, and ran out of the yard early, "We are Xiutao's real grandmother and uncle, both family."

Mrs. Zhang also exclaimed proudly: "Now my second daughter-in-law is raising the three children of the Xia family. What are we not benefactors? We will live here from now on. Everyone is a neighbor. Don't be so rude. Who is the madman? You're the one who's wrong."

Dashan's daughter-in-law managed to get up, propped herself up on a chair, and shouted following her mother-in-law's words: "Isn't it? If you make us anxious, take that broom...uh, take that red plum back, and you raise that broom." Three children?"

Carpenter Xu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Aunt Mei Xia's maid?" The neighbors really didn't think about giving up their lives, and Hongmei and Xiutao have always called Shujie and Shujie since they arrived in Xia's yard. The text "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master" refers to Shuyao as "Miss", and they live in the maidservant room where Cui Zhu lived before, so in their consciousness, the mother and daughter are still the servant girls of the Xia family.

Mrs. Zhang scoffed again: "What maid? Six years ago, Hongmei got rid of her slave status and is no longer a maid. If she hadn't left our Zhang family's affairs behind and came here to make tofu to make a living The three children of Xia's family, a few bastards who can't even eat, probably don't know who to sell this yard to, and still want to live here so comfortably? Hongmei has raised them for several months, and this yard is also Should it belong to our Zhang family?"

"Who? Who's going to make trouble? How dare you trespass in a private house in broad daylight?" Wang Butou arrived really fast, and it was also the Zhang family's bad luck. As soon as Dongsheng ran out of the yard, he saw Wang Butou at the end of the street. Hurry up and call out loudly.

Zhang Dashan still owes people dozens of taels of silver, and when he sees the catcher in the yamen, his feet become weak: "Mis... misunderstanding, a... family, we belong to this family, no... no good Break into the house."

"Are you from this family? I have worked with Xia Butou for so many years, but I have never met your relative. Where did you come from?" Wang Butou looked at Zhang Dashan mockingly.

"We are Hongmei's family." Mrs. Zhang still wanted to "sound" boldly, but she couldn't lift up her confidence when facing the official business, and her voice trembled.

"Hongmei? Who? Oh, Aunt Mei? Haha, when can a relative of a servant come in and start a family with the master's family?" The last time Aunt Mei was applying for a deed at the county government, Catcher Wang happened to be next to her. .

"What, what slaves? Hongmei has long been freed from slavery, and now we are the benefactors of the Xia family." Mrs. Zhang was certain in her heart.It was Zhang Dahai who personally told her that the master's family released his and Hongmei's life deeds, and she had also read their household registration papers, and they were not slaves.

"I'm a slave girl. You robbed me of all my savings and belongings, and drove me and Xiutao out. If you don't sell yourself as slaves, how will our mother and daughter survive?" Aunt Juan, and the big rock on Zhuangzi.There are few people in the store in the afternoon, and usually only one person is left to look after the store. Today, Mrs. Sun is staying there.

Xiutao cried and rushed forward: "Mother, woohoo, the bad guys are here again, and they want to beat Taoer again, woooooo, they want to beat the girl."

Hongmei looked at Zhang Dashan coldly: "Now Xiutao is the little maid of the Xia family, and the master has given her the surname Xia, but you can beat her if you want. As for our girl, if you dare to touch her with a finger, young master I can tear your bones apart. Xia’s family is in the capital, and they have many friends in Yulin County. I just got a letter that people from the Marquis of Weiyuan will arrive in two days.”

The big stone also raised the pole in his hand: "Where did you come from, dare to hit our girl?"

When Wang Butou heard that people from Weiyuanhou's Mansion were coming to Xia's house, he got even more excited: "Trespassing the house without authorization, and even daring to beat Miss Xia, all of them will be tied up by me."

Zhang Dashan sat on the ground with a "poof" in fright: "Don't, don't, we didn't beat the Xia family girl, no, no."

how so?how so?Isn't there only three orphans left in the Xia family?How did these nosy neighbors come about?Who is that tall man with a shoulder pole?What else is there... the Hou Mansion?

"What trespassing? My daughter-in-law ran away with my granddaughter without permission, and we came to catch them back." Mrs. Zhang has always been aggressive. She decided that Hongmei's mother and daughter were not slaves. She remembered her son Zhang Dahai said, The wife of the Xia family is as close to Hongmei as a sister, how could she be made a slave again?And after they arrived in Yulin County, they all inquired, and the wife of the Xia family died before Hongmei arrived.

Even if she can't live in Xia's house, she still has to take Hongmei home to make tofu for their family to earn money. Now that they have no land, what does the family eat?

The crooked mouth of their village can be said. The tofu made by Hongmei is famous in Yulin County, and the business is so good that even the official family makes reservations all month long.The crooked sister and brother-in-law work in the home of a rich merchant in Yulin County. The women and children in the rich merchant's mansion eat tofu nao made of red plums every day.

Shuyao ran back to the house and came out quickly, holding the identity deeds of Hongmei's mother and daughter: "Uncle Wang Butou, this is the identity deed of Aunt Mei and Xiutao, let's go to the Yamen together."

When Mrs. Zhang saw that she really had a deed, she was stunned. How could it be possible?How can it be?In this era, the slaves who have been sold are the private property of the master's family, and even their own parents have no right to take them away, let alone take them away, and they are not free to see them.

Dashan's daughter-in-law was also frightened. She glanced at Wang Butou and the few officials behind him, who frightened her. Her eyes froze for a while, and she suddenly sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "Poor little niece! To be sold as a slave by my mother at such a young age, the sky is struck by lightning, my poor little uncle can't feel at ease even after he dies."
