Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 114

Lin Baozhu and the others don't know exactly what Zhang Li told the old patriarch and the elders of the clan in the village.But before noon the next day, Lizheng sent someone to beat the gong on the street to inform every household to come to the wheat field to discuss matters.

Usually the gong hardly rang. Even if Liu Jincai of Mrs. Lu's family had passed the examination of scholar, Lizheng would just let people go door-to-door to notify him, and then hosted two tables of banquets to congratulate.After drinking and eating, everyone who is close to Mrs. Lu's house, or who can talk, will bring eggs or vegetables and melons from the family to visit and talk, and those who have children will also bring them. The child wants to be happy.

And the situation where you have to beat the gong to shout, it was only when taxes or corvees were collected before.So when they heard the sound of the gong, the big guys were very nervous, and they didn't dare to delay and hurried to the wheat field.

By the time Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mantun were invited to the wheat field by Zhang Lizheng's daughter-in-law, the place was already full of people.Because I was worried about taxation or corvee, besides the men from every household, there were also many women with children.

After all, they are all matters that are closely related to the lives of ordinary people, so who dares to be careless.Especially those who have sons who are not in corvee at home are even more frightened and dare not speak loudly.

Speaking of which, it is not that no one in the village thought of putting the land under Liu Jincai's name, so that he could pay less taxes in the future.Even if each family gave some favors to Liu Jincai, it would be fine.

But that matter hasn't been said yet, at least they just discussed it in private.Now I am just asking if there is such a thing in other villages. After all, there have been generations of people in Taoshuwan, but there has never been a master of talent.Now that they have one, they really don't know what to do and how to behave.

No, before I could find out clearly, I was called over by Lizheng's gong.

Zhang Lizheng didn't say much, just talked about what he had discussed with several elders in the clan yesterday.Then he pulled Zhang Mandun up to a high place to let everyone remember that there are no conscientious people in Taoshuwan. Zhang Ji paid wages to the laborers in the village, and now let the children read and write, that is the responsibility of the whole village. benefactor.If anyone dares to be a white-eyed wolf in the future, Kemiao Xiaoxiao in Taoshuwan Village will not be able to stay.

Although he was severely warned, he couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard that Zhang Ji was going to build a private school and let the children learn Chinese characters for free.It can be said that as soon as Zhang Lizheng's words fell, people became excited.Everyone's faces were full of joy, and the children in the family were just at the right age to be enlightened, and they were smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth.

"Uncle Lizheng, don't worry, we all remember Brother Mandun and Sister Baozhu in our hearts."

"Yeah, none of us are heartless. We all have seen how Mandun and Baozhu treat the village. We thought badly before, and we just go for the good in the future. If that brat in my family dares to be disrespectful I, Zhang Dashan, broke one of his legs first." The man who spoke was a man who was working on Zhangji Tea Mountain, with a square face, thick black eyebrows, and a complexion typical of peasants. Dark and honest-looking.Now knowing that his son can enter the Zhangji private school, his face is flushed with joy, wishing to say a few more words of gratitude to the Zhang family couple.

After one after another, I remembered the continuous sound of approval, and some patted their sons on the back of the head to make them call uncle and aunt quickly.Anyway, whether it's short-sighted or bluffing, they're all laughing right now.

Not to mention that most of the people in the village are simple-minded and honest, even if some are thoughtful, they can't pick any thorns at the moment.After all, Zhang Ji put in so much effort to make the whole village follow suit. If they really spoke sourly, they might not be able to send their children to private schools in the future.

People really did not expect that Zhang Ji could do this for the village. It is not easy to have a literate child in the farmyard these days.Not to mention expecting them to get ahead in the examinations and become famous, but just being able to write and draw is already quite remarkable.Boys can also follow this easy-to-talk daughter-in-law in the future, and girls must follow the literate children and be looked down upon.

So how can anyone not be grateful?Even for the sake of the children, those who don't like Zhang Ji or who are jealous of Zhang Ji have to speak well.

After the wheat field incident, Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu's prestige in the village has risen to a higher level.In the past, it was just Aunt Tian and the others who could bring some food to Lin Baozhu, but now, as soon as the two of them arrived in the village, someone would have prepared dried vegetables or eggs waiting for them all the way.Even Zhang Mandun's ferocious face couldn't stop the big guy's enthusiasm.

Because it is a private school for the village, the laborers who come to work don't need wages, and they don't even need Zhang Ji to manage their meals.Seeing that the big guys were sincere, Lin Baozhu simply didn't try to persuade her, and just set up a big pot to boil a pot of eagle tea at the place where the work started every day, and let everyone take it as they wanted.

Even so, many people repeatedly praised her for her kindness.

The construction of the private school over there is in full swing, and the Zhangji tea garden and workshop here have not stopped.Although a few people left because of the previous incident, it did not hinder the normal operation, but the output was lower.

For Lin Baozhu, this is not a problem.At the very least, these are not the things she cares about most now, what she cares about most is Zhang Mandun, who has become more and more depressed in recent days.

Instinctively, she always felt that her man was hiding something from her.But several times when he asked, the man laughed and dismissed him, never answering the question directly.But the more this happened, the more anxious she became, for fear that something difficult would happen to the man.

As Shi Dayong went to deliver the goods several times, he pulled the goods back intact, but Zhang Mandun didn't show it on his face, but the irritability in his eyes became more and more serious.Lin Baozhu finally realized that perhaps the previous twists and turns were not as easy to overcome as she thought.

Now because of the lawsuit with Zhou Ji and the rumors that are still circulating in the market, Zhang Ji is still affected.Followed like a shadow, even if Zhang Ji couldn't be smothered to death with a single shot, he was still quietly dragging Zhang Ji downhill.

If this continues, within half a year, all their hard work will be in vain.Zhang Ji will also close down because it can't last.

But for a while, Lin Baozhu really couldn't think of any useful method.On the contrary, Zhang Mantun was anxious when he saw her, and comforted her a few times, saying that she would be fine in a few days, and everything was due to him.

In the next few days, Zhang Mantun left early and returned late every day.Although he would say hello to Lin Baozhu, he didn't have any free time to say a few words.Basically, they woke up early in the morning, coaxed Lin Baozhu to sleep, and then he left in a hurry.It was not until after lunch, when the sun was about to set, that he came back in a hurry.

However, compared to the last time when he borrowed 500 taels of silver, this time he was not so relaxed. It seemed that he would be exhausted every time he came back.But even so, he would still eat a lot of food, as if he hadn't had a drop of water all day.

Until one day, when Lin Baozhu was washing his clothes, he found that there was a tear on the outer shirt he had just made, and there were still indistinct bloodstains around the hole.Reminiscent of these days, that man always sleeps very honestly at night, much more peaceful than before.Not only did he not touch her anymore, even his arms around her were not as tight as before.She couldn't help but thumped in her heart, could it be that her own man, because of his enmity with Zhou Ji, went to find someone desperately?

According to her understanding of her man, that man is not reckless.Even if there is an enmity, it will be settled slowly, so why would you risk your life?Of course he would fight with open flames, but the premise is that he can protect himself.

But after much deliberation, she really couldn't think of anything else besides this.And it was precisely because she couldn't figure it out that she was absent-minded all day long, for fear that there would be some bad news.

This state lasted until Zhang Mandun came back. Looking at the tired man, she felt anxious and angry, and finally stomped her feet and dragged him into the room.He pressed the man on the kang viciously, and just about to question him, he heard the man under him suddenly suck in a breath of cold air.

This time, she didn't want to ask questions, she flipped down in a hurry, and when she went up, she pulled the man's clothes.

After all, they could be regarded as an old couple, and she could roughly guess what was going on as long as the man frowned.What's more, he was gasping for air, so he must be injured.

After taking off the coat, Lin Baozhu's eyes turned red and she didn't say a word. She just stared at her man, and then resigned herself to go find the golden sore medicine to apply on him.

Seeing his daughter-in-law hastily searched for the medicine powder, Zhang Mandun breathed a sigh of relief.When he just came back, he felt a little bad. Although his daughter-in-law didn't directly confront him, her appearance was clearly a sign of anger.He was crazy to make his wife angry and ignore her for several days. Thinking of the bitter plan given by the six sons, he couldn't think of a better way anyway, so let's just use it once.

Sure enough, the daughter-in-law felt distressed and didn't have the heart to interrogate him.But seeing Lin Baozhu come back with red eyes, the sweet energy that he had just raised gradually brought some distress and bitterness, it was his fault for making his wife sad.

But thinking of His Highness Prince Rui's words, and thinking of his wife's painstaking efforts, he really has no choice.As long as he can keep his daughter-in-law safe for the rest of her life, he can suffer any hardship.

"Daughter-in-law, don't cry." Zhang Mantun said dryly with a hoarse voice, "You cry, I feel bad."

Not only is there no strength, but even a dull pain, as if you are scratching bit by bit with a knife.No bleeding, just dry pain.It makes him reluctant and also can't bear it.
