Chapter 71

Seeing that it was already noon, the working women had all dispersed, and Zhang Mandun hadn't come back yet, Lin Baozhu couldn't help feeling a little worried.However, thinking that my man is someone he knows in the town, and he has such a fierce appearance, there must be no trouble to provoke him.

So she wasn't worried that her man would fight with others, or suffer a loss.

But even so, she still couldn't help looking out, and even yelled at the big wolf and walked to the entrance of the village twice.Every time someone comes back from outside, he will say hello, and ask if he has met his man by the way.

Until the sun went down, the people who had been busy all day packed up and went to Lin Baozhu to settle their wages.Zhang Mantun was sweating profusely, and strode home.

Maybe outsiders didn't see it clearly, but Lin Baozhu could see that her husband seemed a little unhappy with just one glance.

The big guy also had good eyesight. Seeing Zhang Mantun come back, he just laughed and quarreled with Lin Baozhu, and then left after taking his wages.The rest of Lin Baozhu packed up the ledgers and pens, and headed towards the man who was pouring cold water in the kitchen.

"Why are you drinking cold water again?" Lin Baozhu watched Zhang Mantun raise his head and took another sip of cold water from the ladle, and could not help complaining, "Be careful of your stomach upset."

Seeing his daughter-in-law, Zhang Mandun seemed to be calmed down a lot, and his gloomy face just now also turned for the better.

"It's okay, once or twice is not a problem." Guessing that his wife must have seen something wrong with him, Zhang Mandun breathed out and said in a low voice, "I met Dayong's father and mother today. Really. You are a rascal, if it wasn't for Dayong's face, I wish I could do it directly."

After spending so many days with Zhang Mantun, Lin Baozhu had already seen his temper clearly.This guy seems barbaric and unreasonable, but he values ​​friendship the most.Don't look at the people he beat up crying for their father and mother, but in fact, if he didn't offend him, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to others.

This time he was so angry that he almost made a move, maybe Dayong's parents did something weird, at least they provoked him.

"Aren't Dayong's father and mother in the county? Why did they bump into each other?" While talking, Lin Baozhu handed over the iced bean juice soaked in cold water before, and helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead with a wet cloth with dust.

Zhang Mandun was not polite, he just drank in suspense.A sea bowl of soybean juice was swallowed in a few mouthfuls, and finally he burped in satisfaction before wiping the corners of his mouth.The previous gloom and displeasure also cooled down.

"Didn't you come here to ask for money from Dayong and his wife? After all these years, they have never thought about anything other than asking for money." He seemed to realize that behind his back he said that people are right or wrong, so he couldn't help but silenced. Just talking about what happened today.

It turned out that when he went to Anping Tea Shop to check out today, he happened to meet Shi Dayong's parents, Shi Laohan and Qiu Shi.If it's just that, it won't be a problem, the people on the left and right sides go their own way and have nothing to do with each other.

It's a pity that he didn't think it would be a problem, but the old man Shi and the Qiu family were thick-skinned. Seeing that shopkeeper Xu handed Zhang Mandun more than 30 taels of silver, he immediately looked straight.Then the two of them leaned forward licking their faces, saying that Shi Dayong had been kind to Zhang Mandun in the past, and they should lend some money to the old couple anyway.

Zhang Mandun didn't say exactly what he said, but just looking at the blackness and gloomyness all over the man's body, Lin Baozhu guessed that he must have said nothing nice and obedient.I'm afraid that even if it's not for being sapo, I'm afraid I'll have to play tricks on him.

It has to be said that Lin Baozhu is really telling the truth. Seeing that Zhang Mandun was about to leave if he didn't get in, Old Man Shi started cursing at the top of his voice with Qiu.They had also seen Zhang Mantun give money to their unpromising eldest son before, so they all thought that it must be a kickback for the eldest son.I'm afraid that Zhang Mantun's ability to deal with the tea shop is due to the honor of his eldest son working in the yamen. Otherwise, can a mud leg who has been in prison have the ability to sell tea?
Thinking of this, the old couple became more and more complacent, and even stepped forward to tug at each other.He threatened Zhang Mandun openly and secretly. If he didn't pay, he would let his son disrupt his business the next day and cut off his money.

What kind of person is Zhang Mantun? He is not afraid of such a bastard who is not stingy with hob meat.He has always been able to move his hands but not talk about this kind of top-notch like old man Zhang and Liu Shi.

He didn't speak at the moment, and just threw the old couple of the Shi family aside with all his strength, and then said with cold eyes and a disgusted tone: "I don't know what that means. If you want to beg for food, you take a broken bowl to the corner to take it with you, so you don't have to worry about it." Got it."

If it wasn't for Shi Dayong's face, he wouldn't hold his breath.

"Oh, come and see, the adulterer actually beat and scolded my old woman." Seeing that Zhang Mandun didn't buy it at all, and even wanted to leave with big strides, Qiu's eyes grumbled. Idea, immediately sat on the ground and yelled.This crying and shouting and crying attracted many people to watch.

Originally, old man Shi still felt that his mother-in-law ruined the eldest daughter-in-law's reputation, but he couldn't hold back more and more people watching.Seeing that my mother-in-law's method really blocked people, then I remembered what my mother-in-law said, saying that the eldest daughter-in-law is not able to bear a son anyway, so I just took advantage of my son and the errand of the yamen to tell him about the daughter of a well-off family .

Firstly, he could have a son, and secondly, he could get a huge dowry.Not to mention anything else, the last time the daughter of the Third Master's family came back, didn't it mean that the daughter of the landlord Xia's family in the town wanted to recruit a son-in-law?At that time, everyone felt sorry for coming, and they all said that if Shi Dayong's unhappy disobedient son hadn't gotten married, maybe his daughter would have taken a fancy to him.

Thinking of this, the old man Shi lost the intention of persuading and dragging, and simply let his mother-in-law be careless, and only waited for his eldest son to find out about it, and divorced the sickly daughter-in-law.

It's true, before getting married, Shi Dayong was very obedient.Every time I get money from the yamen, I give it to my mother-in-law, and even the younger son's Shuxiu and pen and ink money can be squeezed out.No matter how bad it is, if you go to suppress the bandits a few times and get some injuries, you can get reward silver to improve your family.

Who knows, everything changes once you get married.Not only did he bring things with him when he went to his father-in-law's house in frustration, he didn't even go to suppress the bandits.Among other things, relying on his little money alone, he can save enough money for his youngest son in the years of the monkey.You must know that the youngest son said that many of their classmates had already lived in the official school in the county seat, and from time to time they would go to Lushan Academy to listen to the lectures of Confucianism.

Those are all money, if Shi Dayong doesn't go to suppress the bandits, how can he earn rewards?

That's why after Shi Dayong and his wife hid in Anping Town, the old couple chased after them with the cheek and conscience.

In the end, after searching around, they couldn't find the family of the unfilial son. Just as they were about to go home, they saw the familiar Zhang Mandun.If it wasn't for the old man's good memory, he might have missed it.

Zhang Mandun hates other people splashing dirty water on him, especially this kind of bad guy's reputation.If he was alone before, he wouldn't be so angry, but with a wife, he wished he could keep a distance of three meters from other women, so how could he become a so-called adulterer?

Before Zhang Mandun could open his mouth to reprimand, he saw a pale woman among the crowd watching the scene in front of him, who was looking at the precarious farce, biting her lower lip and looking at Zhang Mandun with tears in her eyes.

It seems unbelievable, but also seems to be holding back the sadness and shaking his head persistently, and the most powerful murmur is "impossible, impossible".If others saw it, they would think that this woman might have something to do with Zhang Mandun, even if they were not a couple, the relationship must be innocent.

Someone nearby clicked tut twice, but because of Zhang Mandun's frightening aura and the sudden coldness in his eyes, he didn't dare to discuss it loudly, and just muttered something to the people watching.And some who knew Zhang Mandun even took two steps back before pointing and saying harsh words, for fear that the man would go mad and hurt them again.

"No, I know, it must not be Brother Zhang's fault. It must be your daughter-in-law who couldn't bear the loneliness and seduced Brother Zhang." The woman's complexion was pale. His complexion is getting worse and worse, and he thought this might be a good opportunity.When everyone was slandering Zhang Mandun, she was the only one who trusted him wholeheartedly, even if she was not moved, she would be moved anyway.

It was at this time that everyone saw clearly that she suddenly jumped out and looked at Zhang Mandun's woman with a miserable expression.In that appearance, her eyes were moist and pitiful, but she seemed to be enduring the pain in her heart and just looked at Zhang Mandun firmly, as if she was doing it all for him.Not to mention a man, even a woman can't bear to see that look of enduring the pain.

It's a pity that Zhang Mantun is not a flower protector at all, and he doesn't have the consciousness to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.In his eyes, apart from his wife, no one else is good-looking or not.What's more, even if he doesn't have his own daughter-in-law, he is always disgusted with women who cry and have no idea.

Seeing Xia Xiaoyuan's sudden cross-cutting, giving him an outline and giving him a shit basin, and giving Dayong's wife a shit bowl, Zhang Mandun's expression suddenly became more gloomy, and even his face was cold, as if he was about to choose someone to eat.Unfortunately, other people can't see his gaze, they only think that his expression is indifferent.

Zhang Mantun has never been a person who likes to show his emotions, so even though his heart is full of anger now, his face is not grim.It's just that the eyes turned from cold to fierce, like a cat waiting for its prey in the mountains, waiting for the prey to appear before killing it with one blow.

Facing Xia Xiaoyuan's calculating eyes, Zhang Mandun sneered in his heart, did he really think he was a fool?Not to mention that Xia Xiaoyuan's stubbornness in provoking him has already made him very disgusted, and now she is so eager to trample on her reputation to death, such a scheming woman can't be said to be vicious.
