Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 524

At the end of the winter month, Wei Shusheng came back.

He first bid farewell to a few Hui County friends he met this time, and then returned to his home.

Because of the murder case in the past few months, the place in Jiuzi Lane is still a bit gloomy at the moment. The doors of every house are closed and the door is closed. I heard the movement next door to the house where the murder case happened, but someone still supports it. Head out to look.

Knowing Wei Xingzhi, knowing that he came back from the exam, he hurriedly said hello, "Scholar Wei is back?"

Wei Xingzhi nodded gently: "Uncle, please take care of me."

He was just saying politely, but the uncle next door quickly waved his hands and said, "There is no one to take care of me, I don't dare to go out..."

While talking, he walked over to Wei Xingzhi, asking him if he needed any help, and how he was going to the state capital to catch the exam.

Wei Shusheng answered briefly one by one.

"Oh, look at my memory!"

The uncle next door patted his head, then remembered something, and said to Wei Shusheng: "Your future brother-in-law asked a few families near us to let you go to his shop when you come back."

"shop?"

"Wei Shusheng doesn't know yet, does he?" The uncle smiled and said, "Your future brother-in-law will open a leather goods shop in this town, and the plaque was given by the county magistrate... Although the county magistrate has now stepped down as Gaosheng , but at any rate, it was also the handwriting of the official, and we in Hui County all accept your future brother-in-law's love!"

What the uncle was talking about was of course Guan Wen's arrest of the thieves leader, but to Wei Shusheng's ears, he felt nothing but fog.

But when he came back, he was already a little tired, so he didn't ask any more questions, he just asked about the location of Guan Wen's shop, thinking about going to Guan Wen after taking a rest.

After returning to the small courtyard of his home, Wei Shusheng felt that something was wrong.

"Why is there no movement next door?"

Wei Xingzhi put his luggage away, hesitated for a while, and then got up and went to the second sister Qiao to explore her brain.

The door of his own house was open, and Wei Shusheng stood at the door of Second Sister Qiao's house, thinking about what to say. He turned the corner to have a look, but was surprised to find that the door of Second Sister Qiao's house was sealed by the yamen .

Just now, the uncle next door yelled at Wei Xingzhi again: "Scholar Wei, what are you looking at? There was a murder case in that house, it's a sinister place, you should go home quickly."

Wei Xingzhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked him, "Uncle, what did you just say?"

The uncle concealed the door of his house, ran up to Wei Shusheng and said to Wei Shusheng: "You don't know about it, do you? The second sister Qiao next door has been arrested and put in jail. Several people died in her family. Including her man who looked fierce... Ouch, I carried that corpse out that day, but people couldn't fall asleep after looking at it..."

Wei Xing knew that even if he was in awe of the place, his ears were rumbling, and what the uncle said seemed to echo in his ears.

The uncle recounted the scene of the incident, and then said: "Wei Shusheng, your house is the most evil, and it is the closest to your neighbor's house. Although we are in the same alley, we are separated from this house after all. It’s a little distance away. You... Let me tell you, you’d better find another place as soon as possible, I’m afraid the land is not clean. The people with a little background in our alley have all moved out one after another.”

Wei Xingzhi responded blankly, and then asked stupidly: "Uncle, you just said that Second Sister Qiao...is in prison at the moment?"

The uncle nodded and said, "It is said that he went crazy in prison."

Wei Xingzhi went back to the house and closed the door, and fell asleep at home all night. He didn't know if he was frightened by the uncle's words, or if there was something unclean in this area, so he let him do it all night. Had quite a few nightmares.

And because there are no people at home for a long time, there is not much popularity, so it is cold at night, and it is especially cold to live in.

The next day, Wei Xingzhi got up before dawn, drank cold water to freshen up, and then walked in the direction of Guan Wen's shop that the uncle had told him.

Naturally, the shop wouldn't open so early, after all, it hasn't opened yet, and what it's doing now is the preparatory stage.

Wei Xingzhi sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the shop for a long time, his hands and feet were so cold that he was shivering all over his body. It was not until dawn that he saw someone coming from the street over there. It was the fourth son of the Guan family, Guan Quan.

Seeing Wei Xingzhi, Guan Quan was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wei! When did you come back?"

Wei Shusheng pursed his lips, and said: "I came back yesterday and took a rest all night. The uncle next door said that Brother Guan asked me to come back here first to find him."

Guan Quan smiled and said: "I came back yesterday, why didn't you come!"

Then he noticed that Wei Xingzhi was trembling all over, and hurriedly said, "How long have you been waiting at the door? What if you're sick from the cold!"

While talking, Guan Quan reached out and knocked on the door, asking the clerk to open it.

After a while, there was a response from inside, and the door panel was opened from the inside, and a young kid rushed to close the door with a smile: "Fourth brother is here?"

"How long will the monkey children sleep!"

Guan Quan snorted and invited Wei Shusheng in, the young boy asked with a smile, "This is..."

"Go, report to your boss that his future sister-in-law is back."

The young boy's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly responded, muttering: "This is the future uncle who went to the state capital to rush for the exam..."

Guan Wen thought it was too late to check the account book yesterday, and he slept until dawn and didn't wake up. Now, while putting on his clothes, he hurried to the shop in front of him. When he saw Wei Shusheng, he smiled and said, "I guess you are about the same." It's time to come back."

"Brother Guan." Wei Shusheng hurriedly bowed to Guan Wen, who waved his hand and said, "We don't need to pay attention to those vain etiquette."

While exchanging pleasantries with Wei Shusheng, Guan Wen asked Guan Quan to buy something early, and specifically ordered hot steamed stuffed buns and porridge—he saw Wei Shusheng shivering, presumably it was cold.

"When did you come back?" Guan Wen said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come so early in the morning."

Wei Xingzhi then replied: "I came back last night and rested for a night to refresh my spirits. I just came to see Brother Guan today."

Guan Wen looked at him carefully, and said, "You haven't recovered your spirit after a night of rest, and there are still some bloodshot eyes in your eyes."

Wei Xingzhi bowed his head and remained silent.

Guan Wen didn't ask him how he did in the exam this time, but only asked him how he was doing when he was away from home during this time.

Wei Xingzhi only said that everything was fine with him.

"Your mother is also very good in the village, and she looks much better." Guan Wen said with a smile: "The old man usually helps with the housework when he has nothing to do, and teases the two children when he is free. not bad."

Wei Xingzhi hurriedly thanked Guan Wen.

Guan Wen sighed: "Why do you need to be so polite, we will be a family in the future, I have no mother since I was a child, and your mother lives in my house, so I will naturally treat myself like my own mother."

After a few words, Guan Quan bought breakfast, and Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi ate it. Guan Wen said that after lunch, he would go back to Lotus Village with Wei Xingzhi, and he just wanted to go back and have a look. It was also agreed at the beginning that when Wei Shusheng came back, he would go home with Wei Shusheng.

All the things in the shop were handed over to Guan Quan to take care of them. After cleaning up, Guan Wen called a carriage and drove to Hehua Village with Wei Shusheng.

During these days, Li Xin was very busy. While caring about the decoration of the back room, running up and down, she was called back three or four times by Mrs. Liu, to build a new house for her mother's family. The matter, the matter in her mother's belly, whether it is the future of her younger brother or sister, and the matter of Li Ming passing this year's childbirth examination and going out with Mr. Gu.

After returning to Lijia Village, her uncle would inevitably stop her and ask her about helping Miss Li Tiexiang, and even discuss with her elder brother and sister-in-law about the harvest and way out of the land she entrusted her elder brother to buy.

Even when she returns to the lotus village, she still needs to prepare for her younger sister's dowry and various things for this year's Chinese New Year.

Yinhuan and Bai Hui also came to look for her a few times. Yinhuan wanted to go to Yuanguang Temple again, saying that he wanted to see if the bullied wife was still being bullied by those servants, while Bai Hui was She inquired on the sidelines when Li Xin planned to send Yang'er to Kaimeng.

Yang'er is the son-in-law that Bai Hui has set his sights on!

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he dealt with Yinhuan, and vaguely coaxed Bai Hui to leave, seeing Xing'er eating and drinking deliciously while holding her belly, she felt annoyed.

"At the moment, you are hiding with a big belly and taking advantage of me."

Xing'er smiled and said: "Whoever called you the elder sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, elder sister-in-law, you should take care of it!"

"When you give birth to the baby in your womb, you will have no idle time!"

Li Xin snorted bitterly. Seeing Guan Wu coming, she asked Guan Wu to help her and Feng Defa carry the furniture to the second floor of the back room.

Yang'er and Xiaokang hid in the attic, and Xiaokang whispered to Yang'er, "Auntie has been very irritable recently."

Yang'er nodded and sighed worriedly.

"Brother Yang."

"Ai?"

"Do you think my aunt will beat you up?" Xiaokang asked seriously: "Last time He Xingbin said that his mother likes to spank his ass when she is angry."

He Xingbin is the eldest son of He Chunsheng and Yinhuan, one year younger than Yang'er and Xiaokang, he is also familiar with Yang'er and Xiaokang, both Yang'er and Xiaokang know his embarrassing things.

Yang'er shook his head, and said firmly, "Mother wouldn't hit me casually."

Xiaokang also nodded: "I also think my aunt won't hit people casually."

Yang'er sighed again.

Xiaokang asked: "Brother Yanger, why are you sighing?"

"That day I heard Aunt Sun asking my mother when she would send me to Kaimeng."

Xiaokang hurriedly straightened his body: "Enlightenment? I want to be enlightened too!"

"We must have gone together."

Yang'er nodded cautiously, and then put on a bitter face: "But mother didn't say..."

Xiaokang clenched his fists: "My aunt hurts me, I'll go and tell my aunt!"
