Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 141

Qian Tong dragged Qian Feng away quickly, Qian Feng asked his brother what kind of guests came to his house, his brother couldn't explain clearly, so he knew that it should be from the county, and that person smiled eccentrically, probably it was not a good thing.

When Shiliu saw that Qian Feng was leaving, she didn't stay at her mother's house, and went home with Qian Feng.

She suddenly remembered yesterday morning that her father-in-law said that it would be unlucky for her mother-in-law to tell a big lie early in the morning on the first day of the Spring Festival, so she said in surprise: "It's over, it's over, can it be that what mother taught me yesterday came true?"

Qian Feng was stunned, "Impossible, how could such a coincidence happen? Don't scare yourself, it's not good to scare the child in your stomach." When he spoke, he came over to caress Pomegranate's stomach to calm the child down. .

Shi Liu said with a naive smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the baby will be more scared in the stomach, and she will be more courageous when she grows up!"

Qian Feng was used to Pomegranate's way of thinking, so he just laughed.His elder brother Qian Tong has become more and more different towards this younger sibling, and the dare-love pomegranate is much scared in her mother's stomach.

The three of them hurried back home, and saw Mrs. Yang looking around the door from a distance, then came up to meet her, and said in a low voice: "Feng'er, that man is sitting there with his legs crossed, his eyes are slyly looking around. Go, he is wearing a long robe and brocade boots, I don't know if he came from an official or a wealthy family, he is quite stylish, he is not looking for trouble for you, is he?"

Qian Feng thought that he hadn't done anything wrong, "Mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart, if I don't cause trouble outside, there won't be any trouble."

Qian Feng strode into his yard, Yang Shi and Qian Tong followed cautiously.Shiliu first went to look at the pigs in the pigsty, and ran back to the yard to get some Chinese cabbage and threw them into the pig trough before going into the main room to see what was going on.

When Qian Feng bowed to the guests, he saw that this person was putting on official airs, so he politely introduced himself, "I'm Qian Feng, I went to my husband's house just now, and I didn't know that my lord was here, so I'm far away to welcome you, and I still look forward to Haihan!"

The guest was in his early forties, with a medium build, and if he didn't dress to look rich, he actually looked rather wretched, and his eyes were extremely slippery, and he was still eating melon seeds.

While eating melon seeds, he said, "You are Qian Feng? Well, you seem to be a clever person. Do you know that you have committed a serious crime? Originally, the county magistrate ordered me to start handling the case after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to arrest you, but I happened to be going back to my husband’s house today, so I just stopped by to see who you are. My father-in-law’s house is Lao Li’s house in the town. You know, Lao Li, who sells salt, his son just died two days ago. Oh, I That poor brother-in-law kicked his legs like this."

The amount of information in this person's words was too much, and it was hard for Qian Feng to fully absorb it. In other words, this person was Li Xiaolang's brother-in-law, and he was indeed an official post.But that's not the point. The point is that the official said that he had committed a serious crime, and the county magistrate wanted to arrest him!

Everyone in the family was terrified, and they stood aside for a while, when Yang suddenly came to his senses, plopped and knelt down before the officer, "My lord, my Feng'er did not commit murder or arson, Mr. County Magistrate." Why did you want to arrest him? My family's ancestors have been honest mud-legged people for generations, and my family Feng'er has only started a small business in the past few months. In fact, all they earn are hard-earned money, neither stolen nor robbed..."

Qian Feng didn't allow his mother to finish speaking, so he helped her up, "Mother, don't worry, wait for this adult to finish speaking, as long as I have not committed any crime, the government will not arrest me for no reason, the magistrate is Qingtian Master, how can you arrest people indiscriminately."

The officer laughed loudly, "Well, this little brother is right."

He raised his hand and waved at Yang and the others, "Go out first, I have something to say to Qian Feng alone."

He probably meant that the little guards got used to it, and would wave their sleeves away at every turn.Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian didn't dare to stand in the house anymore, they quickly retreated obediently, and came to Shiliu's hut together.

Pomegranate walked around the room in circles, unable to sit still in a hurry.

Yang wiped her tears, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have lied so early yesterday morning. Now God has come to repay our family. God, if you want to get angry, arrest me, but don't arrest my son."

Father Qian was agitated at first, but after being cried by Yang, he calmed down, "Stop crying and yelling, you have a six-month-old belly, so you're not afraid of getting gas? I said, it must not be a big deal, if Feng'er commits a major crime, why would the officials dare to report in advance, he is not afraid that the county magistrate will punish him for his crime?"

Yang was stunned, "That's right, the official didn't come directly to arrest people, and this official was alone, and didn't take Xiao Luoluo with him, so he couldn't arrest Feng'er by himself."

Shiliu stopped wandering around the room, and leaned over and said, "This official must be here to ask for money!"

"How do you know?" Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian asked in unison.

Shiliu said with certainty: "It must be, because Qian Feng said that when officials come to find people, they either arrest people or ask for money!"

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian kept their faces sullen and said nothing. If the official came to ask for money, it must be the lion's mouth!
Ge Taohua and Qian Tong quarreled in their own room, "Second brother also knows to go to my father-in-law's house, but you just refuse to go to my mother's house, and my parents still won't let Songqiu, Sui'er and me go back to my mother's house, no Do you think my natal family is poor?"

Qian Tong was worried about his younger brother. He was really annoyed when he heard Ge Taohua's endless quarrel, and said angrily: "Who said it was because your mother was poor, but your mother's home is too far away, and you have to go over mountains and mountains. There is still a lot of ice and snow that hasn’t melted. My parents are worried that Songqiu and Sui’er will be dangerous walking on the road. Don’t you know how many people get hurt on that mountain every Chinese New Year? Wait until the snow melts before you go. A piece of meat or something?"

Ge Taohua came to pinch Qian Tong's arm, "You knew you were mean to me. Now that my second brother is causing trouble, and the government wants to arrest him, I don't know if it will hurt you. If you take the child back to my mother's house with me, the officials will I won’t be able to see you today, won’t you be fine?”

Qian Tong glanced at her, "Usually you still say that Pomegranate is stupid, but I found that you are much more stupid than her! The official came alone, and with his body, he can catch two or our whole family alone? You Stupid girl, I will make you go back to your mother’s house alone!"

Ge Taohua rolled her eyes in anger, usually Qian Tong would not be so fierce to her, but now she dared to say that she was stupider than Pomegranate, she rushed forward and pinched Qian Tong desperately, Qian Tong swung her arm and threw her to the corner side.

Ge Taohua couldn't talk and talk, and couldn't win the fight, so he sat in the corner and sobbed.
