The best farmhouse

Chapter 265
When Zhao Canniang heard what Qin said, she quickly shook her head.

"I like to listen to it, how could you not like to listen to what mother said!" Zhao Canniang said in a hurry.

Qin smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to stroke Zhao Canniang's hair and continued, "Men are like this. They keep talking about how to grow old forever. As long as there is a demon fox outside, they will go up eagerly. Zhongqiu is a good man, mother." I believe you are not mistaken, but if you want to keep this happiness, you have to work hard yourself. After all, this matter is not something that can be done by one person. If Zhong Qiu can not marry other women for you, can you also do it for him? , give birth to children for him at home."

Mothers are always good for their children.

Zhao Canniang nodded hurriedly, she was willing to do all of these, of course she was willing to.

"I know mother, I understand what you mean. This time when I go home, I plan to be a little woman at home. I don't plan to run around outside. If I want a man to feel at ease outside, I must also be myself."

Qin said with a smile: "You know it yourself."

Early the next day, Zhao Canniang and the others' carriage was ready.

Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu said goodbye to Qin Shi and Zhao Qingfeng reluctantly.

Long way to go.

On the way back, the few people did not delay too much.

Both Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu wanted to go home early, and Leer and Xianer missed Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ji after being out for so long.

Talking on the road is about the two of them.

Baiyun County.

Zhao Canniang and the others' carriage gradually drove into the city gate, and both of them saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Leer and Xianer opened the car curtain and looked outside.

The streets of Baiyun County are still the same as they were a few months ago.

Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen knew that Chen Zhongqiu and the others were coming back. Mrs. Chen hadn't seen her two grandsons for more than three months, and she was so happy.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, Mrs. Chen walked directly to the side of the carriage: "My dear grandchildren are finally back, grandma misses you so much."

Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand and walked into the mansion holding the hands of the two children.

The servant girls and servants came up to help carry the things on the cart, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu followed into the mansion.

Chen Fuzhong is still the same as before.

At this time, the maid and the servant are busy with their own affairs.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "It's been a while since you've been away that I know what it means to live like a year, and now you're finally back."

Mrs. Chen had a look of emotion.

Zhao Canniang was very grateful: "It's been hard work during this time."

Chen Zhongqiu stood at the back, feeling a little excited: "Mom, you may be a grandma again."

When Mrs. Chen heard Chen Zhongqiu's words, she felt joy in her heart: "What are you talking about, I'm going to be a grandma again? Could it be that Channiang is married again?"

Zhao Canniang nodded in embarrassment.

She also didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant with a child on the way back, so she was delayed a lot of time, and because she was afraid of going faster and bumpy on the road, she walked slower along the way.

Mrs. Chen became even happier: "Okay! It's worth going out this time, Canniang, you will behave well at home this time."

Mrs. Chen felt sore when she thought about the child that Zhao Canniang lost last time. It would be great if that child was here.

"I won't go out this time, I'll just stay at home honestly." Zhao Canniang had already made up her mind.

Now that the Chen family's business has basically stabilized, there is no need to worry too much at all, so there is no need to worry too much about business matters now.

Chen Zhongqiu could handle it all by himself.

Because the journey was too tiring, Zhao Canniang began to rest when she returned to the yard.

Lan Die has already married, and now another little maid named Bi Ling is serving in the yard.

As time passed day by day, apart from handling a little housework at home, Zhao Canniang would occasionally go for a walk on the street.

The child in her stomach is growing day by day, and with the reaction of pregnancy, Zhao Canniang has a difficult life every day.

It's not as easy to spoil this child as it was when you spoiled Le'er.

I don't know what's going on, this child has severe morning sickness, often Zhao Canniang eats something into her stomach, and then vomits it out, and Zhao Canniang is getting thinner day by day.

Seeing such a situation, Chen Zhongqiu and Mrs. Chen were worried all day long.

But at this time, something happened in Zhaojiazhuang.

At noon this day, Zhao Canniang was sitting in the room reading a book.

Recently, Zhao Canniang has been obsessed with reading various miscellaneous notes.

There was also a thick stack piled up on the desk, these were collected by Chen Zhongqiu for Zhao Canniang outside.

"Ma'am something happened."

Bi Ling ran into the house with a face of panic, and said with some worry.

Zhao Canniang put down the book in her hand, frowned and looked at Bi Ling, this little maid is not as good as Lan Die, she does things on tiptoe, and she is also extremely timid.

"Say something slowly, don't make a fuss." Zhao Canniang's tone was a little displeased.

Bi Ling immediately knelt down and stammered, "The concierge sent word that Zhao Dafu from Zhaojiazhuang was beaten."

Hearing this, Zhao Canniang immediately stood up.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Dafu's beating must have something to do with business matters, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to tell Zhao Canniang.

The little maid trembled, and continued: "The people outside just said that they were beaten, and they want to invite Madam to go."

Zhao Canniang nodded: "Get up, prepare my clothes and the carriage, let's go now."

Saying that, Zhao Canniang walked into the back room, and changed into a light blue embroidered Ruyi knot Mrs. Quju.

The bun was also combed again.

"Don't tell Madam about this, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Bi Ling nodded, but then she reacted and asked, "Madam, do you want your servants to go with you?"

Zhao Canniang shook her head, Bi Ling was too timid, and she would have to take care of Bi Ling when she went with her, which was a little troublesome.

"You don't have to follow. If Madam comes to ask, just say that I know what to pay attention to."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Canniang walked out of the mansion, and the carriage just stopped at the gate of the mansion.

Zhao Canniang got into the carriage and left the city alone.

After getting off the official road, it is the village road.

In the past two years, people in Zhaojiazhuang have made a lot of money, so Li Zheng and the patriarch decided to ask every household to work to re-level the village road.

So the current village road is smooth and not bumpy.

Zhao Canniang lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside.

It has been more than a year since I returned to Zhaojiazhuang, and it feels like yesterday when I think about it.

Time flies so fast.

"It's good for the carriage to stop at the entrance of the village later, and you don't need to go in."

Zhao Canniang instructed.

The coachman nodded and arrived at Zhaojiazhuang soon.

Zhao Canniang could hear the commotion in the village from far away.

Zhao Canniang got off the carriage and walked directly into the village.

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village.

Zhao Canniang took a rough look, except for a few people from Zhaojiazhuang standing opposite, the rest were relatively unfamiliar.

I don't know who called out: "Mrs. Chen is here."

Hearing the cry, the people who had turned their backs to the outside of the village just now looked back, and Zhao Canniang vaguely felt that there were two people in the middle who looked more familiar.

"Canniang, you are back, go and see Uncle Dafu, Uncle Dafu was injured by these beasts."

It was Master Zhao who spoke.

Zhao Canniang frowned, then looked at Second Master Zhao and said, "Uncle Dafu, invite the doctor!"

Zhao Erye nodded: "Please, I invited the doctor to look at it. The doctor said that the injury is a bit serious and needs to be recuperated."

Zhao Canniang felt even more heavy.

Zhao Dafu lived at the home of Zhao Canniang at the entrance of the village.

I have to say that Zhao Dafu has done a lot of things for Zhao Canniang in the past two years. He is meticulous in business, as if doing things for himself, and he is also diligent and serious in doing things.

Zhao Canniang has always been very grateful to Zhao Dafu in her heart.

Go straight into the house.

In the room, Zhao Dafu's wife was crying.

The doctor at the side was also bandaging Zhao Dafu's wound, Zhao Canniang saw that Zhao Dafu's head was injured.

Zhao Canniang was very angry, she stepped forward and asked Zhao Dafu's wife, "What happened to my aunt, and who are the people outside?"

Zhao Dafu was not in a coma, and opened his eyes when he heard Zhao Canniang's words.

"Chan Niang, you are here."

Zhao Canniang immediately walked to the bedside, just as the doctor had already bandaged Zhao Dafu, she stepped aside at this time.

"Uncle Dafu, are you okay!" Zhao Canniang asked worriedly.

Zhao Dafu shook his head and smiled wryly, "I have nothing to do, you don't have to worry, Canniang, hey!"

Hearing Zhao Dafu's sigh, Zhao Canniang felt even more uncomfortable: "Uncle Dafu, tell me what happened?"

Seeing Zhao Canniang's question, Zhao Dafu sighed slowly and said: "You also know that the recent drought has not rained, and the river water is not enough at all. Those people outside belong to a village above our Zhaojiatang. We have had an unwritten one for so many years. The rule is that people upstream cannot block the river water without permission and build river lifts, in order to fear that people downstream will have no water to eat in dry weather.”

Zhao Canniang listened closely to what Zhao Dafu said, and Zhao Dafu continued with a sigh: "Some time ago, people in the upper reaches began to build river lifts in the upper reaches without permission when the drought lasted for a long time. We didn’t find out the reason for the water, but later we found out that people from the upper reaches intercepted Heti.”

Zhao Canniang seems to have understood something.

"Did you take everyone upstream to discuss an explanation and were injured by them?"

Zhao Canniang's guess was right, and Zhao Dafu sighed: "Yes! I took everyone upstream to discuss the explanation, but they started to attack, and I was injured when I stood in the front."

Zhao Dafu was actually aggrieved in his heart.

Zhao Canniang was actually angry in her heart. Everyone depended on the river water for food. If it was true that the upstream intercepted the river water, then it would be really unkind. After all, this would cut off the livelihood of the downstream people.

"Uncle Dafu, rest well, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you and everyone an explanation."

Zhao Canniang said very seriously, absolutely not allowing outsiders to bully everyone like this.

Zhao Canniang walked out.

Walking out of the yard, I heard those strangers arguing with the people in the village.

Zhao Canniang walked forward with a cold face and looked at the person opposite.

"You are the people from the upper reaches! Who among you was the first to fight?"

Zhao Canniang's voice was very cold, Zhao Canniang had always been defensive, how could her own people be bullied by outsiders.

The people on the opposite side were surrounded by men and women in the village, and everyone felt a little nervous now.

"We didn't mean to."

The other party took the lead in speaking, a young man in a long blue coat.

Zhao Canniang snorted coldly, and glanced at the young man sharply.

The young man couldn't bear Zhao Canniang's sharp eyes, and lowered his head.

Zhao Canniang looked at the man and paused for a moment and said, "You guys are the first to take the initiative when you have done something wrong. Are you really thinking that there is no one in our Zhaojiatang? Tell me how to solve this matter."

In fact, the one who took the lead in beating Zhao Dafu was also a young man. If two sentences were wrong, the other party's anger would naturally increase.

After injuring Zhao Dafu, they realized that Zhao Dafu was someone they could not afford to offend, so the people in the village came to Zhaojiazhuang, actually wanting to apologize.

About a dozen people came from the other party, all of whom were all strong and strong men.

Seeing that Zhao Canniang said that she wanted to deal with the matter directly, a middle-aged man who took the lead stood up.

"Madam Chen, tell me what to do with it!"

They were here to deal with matters. Everyone knew that Zhao Canniang was married to the richest Chen family in Baiyun County.

Moreover, Zhao Canniang herself is very capable, and those who are capable are respected wherever they go.

Zhao Canniang looked at the man and said, "We are not unreasonable for you who injured us. We should definitely make an apology! Also, you must pay for medical expenses!"

The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this.

"This is naturally as it should be."

Zhao Canniang nodded and continued: "Since this is what should be done, let's talk about this time."

Zhao Canniang looked at the middle-aged man and asked directly: "I remember that the dozen or so Zhuangzi along the way grew up eating the water of a river. It is more advantageous for you to live in the upper reaches. Why do you need to build a dam to intercept the river water? Everyone knows that there is a drought. Water is needed, and what you do is not only selfish but also hateful."

Zhao Canniang spoke very seriously.

The complexion on the middle-aged man's face was also not good.

"We admit that we blocked the river, but we don't think we did anything wrong." The middle-aged man said seriously.

Zhao Canniang smiled strangely: "Then explain why you didn't do anything wrong."

The middle-aged man thought for a while before saying: "We intercepted the river in front of us, there is a mistake."

The people in Zhaojiatang were a little angry when they heard this.

"That's right, your ancestors have never done this for generations. You are doing this to watch us all die. How can you people in Lijiazhuang be so cruel."

The people in the village were all noisy.

Zhao Canniang sighed and said, "Don't talk, I know how to deal with this matter."

Zhao Canniang looked at the middle-aged man with a sneer and said, "I understand what you mean. According to what you mean, you live upstream of us and you can do whatever you want. Then let me ask you, if the people living upstream of you You blocked the river before you, do you still think so? The water in the river is for public use, and the people along the way have the right to use it. You are not protecting your rights, but harming everyone's interests."

Zhao Canniang spoke very seriously, and the business gradually became angry.

"But even so, so what, we are willing to do this, and the people downstream have not come to make trouble, why do you people from Zhaojiatang come out to make trouble."

A young man on the other side roared.

Zhao Canniang laughed: "Do you still think you are right about your feelings?"

Zhao Canniang suddenly looked back at the patriarch and said, "I remember that the Zhuangzi in front of Lijiazhuang is Zhoujia Village, and we also planted taro in their village, right?"

The patriarch nodded: "Yes!"

Zhao Canniang looked at the person opposite and said with a smile, "Since you want to break the rules, let's break them too."

"Lizheng, you brought a dozen people to Zhoujia Village to help, intercept the river above their village, build dams, and I will pay for the money spent. Since they think they are right, we will do the same."

Zhao Canniang spoke very seriously, and the expression on her face did not look like she was joking at all.

The middle-aged man opposite obviously did not expect Zhao Canniang to say such a thing.

"you……."

The middle-aged man felt a little flustered.

In fact, there is a reason for them to do so.

Everyone knows that Zhaojiatang is the richest Zhuangzi with a radius of more than ten miles. There are many people who are famous and right and wrong. It is inevitable that some people will be jealous. It just so happened that the people in Lijiazhuang were not willing to plant taro at the beginning, and there was a bit of grievance between the ancestors, so the taro was not planted in Lijiazhuang. , Instead, he bypassed Lijiazhuang and went directly to Zhoujiacun and Qianjiazhuang.

The people in Lijiazhuang saw that the people around them were getting better every day, and they were very envious.

This year's drought, the people in Lijiazhuang came up with this idea. As long as the dams are blocked, the people in Zhaojiazhuang will definitely need river water to irrigate their farmland. .

Zhao Canniang didn't understand the rules in the middle, even if Zhao Canniang understood now, she probably wouldn't fulfill the other party's wish.

Zhao Canniang looked at the middle-aged man very seriously: "I don't have to worry so much, the big deal is that I will spend a little more money to build a canal from the upper reaches, but you Zhuangzi, hehe, when you want to use water, don't even think about it, let me tell you If it doesn’t make sense, that’s the only way to do it.”

Zhao Canniang spoke very seriously. Originally, the other party hurt Zhao Dafu and she was angry in her heart. These people are still so arrogant and don't know how to repent. Such people are what Zhao Canniang hates the most.

The middle-aged man said with an ugly face: "Are you really going to do this?"

Zhao Canniang nodded: "This is what you are willing to do. Since ancient times, people along the river, have you seen which village has done this like you? Blocking the big river, you can do such a thing, let alone the people in Zhaojiazhuang. Let me ask you, if other villages along the way find your village, how will you deal with it?"

It's time to arouse public outrage.
