The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 97 The Peony Nightmare (2)
"Or, mother, go talk to Zhou Lizheng, what is it like to live in a village?"

When the son came back, he brought back two men who looked like blood gourds that had been beaten, and said that it was the uncle who told them, so they tied them to the door for the people in the village to see. If they were happy, someone would send money to the door.

Now that the money has really come to her door, she feels that she shouldn't accept it.

I live in a village, I don't see him when I look up, even if Cunxiao's family doesn't recognize this relative, it's still my daughter's sister-in-law, two liang of silver, it's too much money!She was afraid...

"What can you tell Zhou Lizheng?" Yang Qiaolian took the teapot from Su Chunlai and poured a cup of tea for her mother-in-law.

Aunt Su waved her hand: "After drinking tea at night, I wake up and hold back my urine, so stop drinking."

Yang Qiaolian put the teacup on the table again, but she refused to drink it.She was afraid that if she drank too much tea, the child would be born in the same color as the tea.

"Listen to my sister and brother-in-law." She sat down next to her mother-in-law and continued: "My sister and brother-in-law are both prudent. Since we are told not to say anything after taking the money, then let's have nothing to do with anyone. From now on we Be careful when going in and out, and don’t tie up the dog, just let it run in the yard.”

"Is nothing wrong?" Aunt Su was still worried.The family has a son who is physically strong, and she didn't feel flustered.She was afraid of living an uneasy life looking at the weak uncle and daughter.

"It's okay." Su Chunlai drank a small cup of tea poured by his wife: "Brother-in-law said, they sent the money because they were afraid that we would make trouble and hand over those two thieves to the government. If we don't talk, nothing will happen."

"Oh." Aunt Su convinced Uncle, since he said so, then nothing will happen.

After a day of worry and fear, now it was finally quiet outside the door, she finally felt sleepy, yawned and walked out, before stepping out the door: "Big fool." She turned around and called.

"mother?"

"Take it easy..."

"Xiu Cai, do you really think nothing will happen?" Su Xiazhi would look out the door from time to time when she woke up in the morning, for fear that someone would come to deliver bad news.

"..." Xiucai looked down at the book and didn't answer. He has answered the same question many times from yesterday to now, but the lady is still worried.

"Isn't it illegal for my brother to tie people up like this?" Modern society is a society ruled by law, and it is illegal to restrict people's freedom casually.How many people must have seen Su Chunlai leading the two of them around!
"The people don't raise officials and don't investigate. No one cares about such nosy matters. Besides, being a husband is to let people who hide in the dark see the consequences." Min Lansheng put down the book, rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides of his forehead with both hands and pressed hard.

He didn't sleep well at night.While constantly comforting his wife, he was also deeply blaming himself.

For his sister, he once again used a relatively gentle method to frighten them.Instead of using drastic means to eliminate future troubles, this is the root cause of the lady's uneasiness.

I just hope that my sister and brother-in-law can understand his painstaking efforts, and he can calm down after paying two taels of silver, which is good for everyone.

He knew that Zhou Cunxiao must be watching them in the dark.He should have known when the two men he had paid for fell into his uncle's hands.

At that time, the safest way was to send these two thieves out of the Yamen, then they would definitely confess to Zhou Cunxiao, the instigator behind it... It would be wiser to punish Zhou Cunxiao.

However, he thought of his sister with a big belly at the edge of the field, and her daughter who would only leave, and his heart softened...

"Sister, I promised my lady, this is the last time to help you, I hope you can do it yourself." Min Lansheng thought silently in her heart.

"Xiucai, look at how well our flowers grow." Su Xiazhi has an open mind that can be taken care of, and occasionally looks a little boyish, and no one comes to deliver letters when it is almost noon, she knows , there must be nothing wrong with my natal family.So I started to wait on the flowers and plants in the yard again.

"Have a headache?" She lay on the outside of the window, leaned her upper body into the window and rubbed his acupuncture points with her hands: "I know you didn't sleep well. Go to bed and lie down after dinner."

"Hehe!" Min Lansheng giggled a few times with her eyes closed: "My lady sleeps like a pig, yet she still knows how to toss and turn for her husband?"

"Don't look at me with my eyes closed, I actually know everything." Su Xiazhi snapped.

Min Lansheng pursed her lips and smiled lightly without saying a word. She just felt that her head, which was aching with a splitting headache, was rubbed so uncomfortable by her, and she really felt a little drowsy.

"Scholar's family, are you at home!" There was a 'bang bang' knock on the courtyard door, and Aunt Gao's loud voice could be heard clearly across the courtyard.

"From a scholar's family, from a scholar's family..." Grabbing the woman who was about to straighten up, Min Lansheng held her face and kissed her small mouth: "You are from a scholar's family." He looked at her eyes said softly.

When Su Xiazhi was called out like this, her heart softened, she leaned forward and kissed him and smiled, "I belong to your family..." After finishing speaking, she walked quickly to the door: "Here we come." She responded Opening the courtyard door, I just think that the Mensao scholar in her family is really cute!
There were several women standing on the steps, and besides the ones who took the mule cart to the town together last time, a few more were added. Almost all the young and strong women in Shanxia Village were piled up at the door of Min's house.

Su Xiazhi opened the courtyard door calmly and greeted the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law: "Everyone come in and sit in the courtyard."

Turning around, the husband who was still sitting in front of the window and acting like a baby to him just now has disappeared.The door curtain in the inner room was shaking, and it was only lowered after seeing it.

Min Lansheng seldom talked to young women. Whenever a girl's wife came to chat with her at home, he would automatically avoid it and not appear in front of others.It's completely different from the guys in the village who like to hang out with big girls and little wives.

Aunt Gao visited her house the most, and was used to them disappearing as soon as a scholar appeared, so when she entered the door, she grabbed Su Xiazhi who wanted to go to the kitchen to give everyone a stool to sit on and asked, "Scholar's house, what do you mean?" Is it possible to fulfill the monthly salary of [-] wen?"

At that time, opening a workshop and recruiting helpers paid wages not only for the few hundred Wen, but also for three meals a day, and some workshops even included accommodation.

A person has three meals a day, no matter how good or bad the food is, even if he only eats a full stomach, it costs several hundred yuan a month. Then so many people have entered the workshop, whether Su Xiazhi can bear the cost is up to everyone The biggest worry.
