peasant girl wedding

Chapter 168
The next day, the whole county was boiling.

Something happened to Tongji Shop, Tongji BBQ Restaurant and Tongji Fairview Workshop.

When they were still complaining about why Tongji's three shops opened so late today, the sun was shining on their buttocks and the doors were still closed, a group of officials who were densely packed Tongji's shop, Tongji barbecue restaurant and Tongji Jinxiu Fang Surrounded by coincidence.

"Master Zhixian, what happened to Tongji?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

The eyes of the others all fell on Mr. Song, the county magistrate who came late and was dressed in an official uniform.

Master Song was expressionless and filled with righteous indignation: "The products made by Tongji Barbeque Shop and Tongji Shop are not clean, and some people have been poisoned after eating them. With such a despicable character, it is inevitable that more people will be poisoned by Tongji. This official has decided to seal up the three shops of Tong’s family, as a warning to others.”

The common people were startled at first, and then there was a moment of fear on their faces, and the voice of discussion gradually became noisy.

"Ah, it's terrible."

"I didn't expect Tongji's things to be so unclean. Fortunately, I am lucky!"

"Too black-hearted, the businessman really does everything in order to make huge profits."

"..."

After the contempt and reviling of Tong Zhixin's family, the common people turned their heads to praise the magistrate Mr. Song's brilliance and prowess.

"Master Zhixian is worthy of being the lord of a county, he always thinks of us people."

"If you ask me, our county magistrate is really a rare honest official."

"How do you say that?"

"You don't know, when Tongji's shop and Tongji barbecue restaurant opened, the magistrate made a special trip to support him. Now that Tongji committed a crime, the magistrate dealt with them selflessly. Isn't this an upright official?"

"Yeah yeah……"

The big seal seals Tongji Shop, Tongji BBQ Restaurant and Tongji Jinxiu Workshop.

When the incident spread to the village, the village exploded.

Those who envy and hate Tong Zhixin's family: "Hmph, let me tell you how his family's buns can be done so quickly. It turns out that all the money they make is black-hearted money. Fortunately, the magistrate is wise, otherwise, I don't know how many people want it." out of his house."

Those who are grateful to Tong Zhixin's family: "How is it possible? Tong Laosi (Uncle Tong) would never do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding? How can the county magistrate be so arbitrary? It's just his one-sided words, so it is impossible The shop of Tong Lao Si (Uncle Tong)’s house was closed.”

A person with a neutral attitude towards Tong Zhixin's family: "Hey, Tong Zhixin's family is hardworking and hardworking. They worked hard to make money, and managed to open three shops, but they were taken away. I haven't heard anything bad about it. It is rumored that something like this is happening right now, there must be something tricky here!"

The old house was peaceful, thanks to the old lady's nagging, otherwise, given such a good opportunity, she would have come to the door to give Tong Zhixin a good insult, so as to escape the anger she has received recently.

In the magistrate's mansion, Song Ruyi, who had a good relationship with Tong Zhi'er, was angry.

"Father, how can you do this?"

Master Song stared at her displeasedly, "How did we teach you? Is this how you talk to elders?"

"Father, Zhi'er is my good sister. My mother and I know what kind of people their family is. Father, you can't wrong a good person like this. It's wrong."

She is a woman raised in a deep boudoir, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song don't want her to know other insignificant things. Tong Zhier's shop was closed, and Mr. Song and Mrs. Song refused to give her a reasonable explanation. He believes that Master Song is using his authority to force Tong Zhi'er's family.

"It's the other way around!" Master Song slapped the table and stared angrily, "How dare you lecture me to your father!"

Song Ruyi raised her neck and looked at him stubbornly.

Master Song turned around and said coldly: "It's none of your business here, go back to your room."

"If dad doesn't make it clear, I won't go back."

Master Song no longer looked at her.

"Come on, take the young lady into the room and look at her carefully. Without my permission, you are not allowed to let her out."

"Father, father..."

"Why are you still sticking around? Could it be that you don't want to stay in the Song Mansion anymore?"

"Miss, just listen to the master and go back to your room to rest, miss..."

Song Ruyi didn't listen, and stared at Master Song stubbornly.

Master Song gave the girls a cold look.

Mom, this is an ultimatum. If the young lady is not brought back to the room, they will have no job, and if they don't have a job, they will starve to death.

So, regardless of whether the young lady will resent them in the future, the girls looked at each other, two by two held Song Ruyi's arms, went straight to the room in the backyard, and then closed the door neatly, word by word. Standing at the door of the room.

Tong Zhixin's family doesn't care about what's going on outside.

Except for Tong Zhaofu who was still in private school, everyone stayed at home.

dong dong dong ——

Footsteps came from outside.

Tong Zhixin raised his head, the magistrate Mr. Song was walking inside.

Tong Zhixin and others got up and greeted them, "Master Song."

Master Song nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

"Master Song, Caomin also knows your embarrassment. This is the property of Caomin's family...Master Song has come all the way, please come in and have a drink of tea."

Master Song took the title deed and shook his head, "No, I have other important matters to attend to."

Tong Zhixin waved his hand, "Then don't bother Mr. Song, Mr. Song, please—"

Watching Mr. Song go away, the group returned to the house.

"Fortunately, our woods and house are still there."

Tong Zhixin smiled, then looked at Tong Zhide and said, "Second brother, I want to trouble you with something."

"Fourth brother, just say what you want."

Tong Zhide said in a deep voice.

Tong Zhixin looked at Tong Zhi'er, and Tong Zhi'er immediately took out some banknotes from the house, ranging from 50 taels to 100 taels.

"Second brother, I would like to trouble you to help buy some land property. The deed will write the name of the second brother."

"it is good."

Tong Zhixin's trusting gaze made Tong Zhide's heart feel hot.

Tong Zhi'er looked at Tong Zhaoyin, "Cousin, I'm going to wrong you."

Tong Zhide's family suddenly bought land, and they couldn't afford so much money.However, their daughter-in-law is the jewel in the palm of Master Zhou, and they all saw the dowry brought to Tong Zhide's house on their wedding day.Now, Tong Zhide must have used his daughter-in-law's dowry to purchase the property.

As a result, Tong Zhaojin will be "criticized" by others.

A man who eats soft food!

Tong Zhaoyin grinned, "What does it matter. Anyway, if I don't do anything, others will say it secretly, right?"

Zhou Yunniang held his hand.

Tong Zhaoyin looked back at her, the tenderness in the eyes of the two made everyone's heart warm.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

Everyone turned their heads and met Fang Dalin, Yao Shi and Fang Ruyan who hurried into the room and couldn't stop panting heavily.

"What's going on here? What do I need to do? Don't worry, after so many years of business, I still have a lot of contacts."

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were deeply moved.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness, but the person our family offended this time is too powerful to be dealt with by ordinary powerful people."

"who?"

"The Duke's Mansion!"

Fang Dalin seemed to be struck by lightning.

Duke's Mansion... This is an unfamiliar term that is out of reach for those people who are far away from the center of power.

Tong Zhixin walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, don't worry about us, the property and shop are gone, we can still buy and open again."

"That's right," Yao shi said, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"Brother, I want to buy some property in the name of my second brother..."

"Zhi'er, I've become proficient at making food sculptures these days." In the room, Fang Ruyan said to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "That's great, in a few days, we'll go to your house to have a taste."

Fang Ruyan smiled openly, "Yes."

Tong Zhier stared blankly at the prepared candied fruit for a while, "It's just a pity that these hard-earned candied fruit..."

The county magistrate followed the crazy woman's wishes and found a reasonable reason to close Tongji's three shops. The common people have a shadow in their hearts. In the future, their family will set up a stall in the county, and no one will buy it.

As for selling it to a candied fruit shop, don't even think about it.

The only business that can be done now is the puppet-style paintings of Buzhuang.

Fortunately, Tong Zhi'er had an agreement with Boss Jin of the Cloth House before. Even if she doesn't hand in the style drawings, she brings up some new ideas from time to time, and she gets a share every month.

In fact, even if the Tong family is not doing business or farming, relying on Tong Zhi'er's share in Buzhuang and their family's forests, the money is extremely sufficient.

However, Tong Zhier is a person who has a fighting spirit and intends to become a small landlord. Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Duoer, Tong Zhuer and Tong Zhaofu also have their own goals.

In Tong Zhi'er's words, it is: Life is endless and struggle is endless.

What's more, the whole family relies on the young Tong Zhi'er for support, which is really embarrassing and sad for Tong Zhixin as a member of the family.

"We've done so much, let's share it with the friends in the village."

Tong Zhi'er said with a smile.

"Okay." Fang Ruyan was the first to respond.

"I listened to the second sister."

Tong Zhuer is the second.

The three packed up the candied fruit, and when they passed by Lan Hua's house, Tong Zhi'er called Lan Hua out, knowing what they were going to do, Lan Hua rushed to join in.

The children in the village were all playing in groups, and the four of them saw them not long after walking.

With the "private gossip" of parents, children know a lot.

Hearing that Tong Zhi'er said that he wanted to invite them to eat candied fruit, when even someone said bluntly: "The things in your house are not clean."

The pot slapped the dumb kid on the head, "What are you talking about?"

The children of Lao Guo and Lao Xu's family heard the adults' sympathy for Tong Zhixin's family, and the news that his family might have offended someone that caused such a disaster. Now that the bear child said this, they naturally felt is unhappy.

After teaching the boy a lesson, Guozi led his little friends to Tong Zhi'er, raised his head and showed a mouthful of white canine teeth, "Sister Zhi'er, we like to eat candied fruit, it's so rare that you invite us to eat Thank you so much."
