Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 172 The situation is a bit out of control

"What about us? We have to go too!" Liu Fugui said hastily.

Liu Guirong was arrogant, "The Liu family shouldn't be involved in our Su family's affairs."

"Gui Rong, this won't work..." Surrounded by Liu Guirong, the Liu family entered the house noisily, and continued their plan of "dividing the spoils" that they had discussed all day long.

Although they were extremely tired, the Su brothers lay on the kang and still couldn't fall asleep. Su Qiusheng asked, "Brother, how do you think the patriarch will punish our mother?"

Su Chunsheng sighed, "I don't know."

Su Qiusheng asked again, "Is it true that the clan will give us money to study?"

"This..." Su Chunsheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it will, but there are no benefits for no reason in this world. If we use the money from the clan, we will have to do things for the clan in the future."

Su Qiusheng curled his lips at the darkness, "Since this is the case, I would rather owe ingots than others." He really has no feeling for the clan, if it wasn't for Liu Guirong, he would not want to recognize his ancestors and return to them. Moreover, he knew that Su Chunsheng thought the same way.

"Pass this one first, and we'll think about it later." Su Chunsheng said in a heavy tone. He completely understood what Su Qiusheng meant, which was why he hesitated so much after the two gentlemen mentioned this matter to him.

Accompanied by the rising sun, a dozen or so carriages drove towards the Su family compound. Liu Guirong almost salivated, "This clan is different, and I don't know how much it will be distributed to us." silver."

Liu Fugui and Liu Fucai nodded repeatedly, "That's right."

Liu Guirong gave them an annoyed look, but the Liu brothers still kept smiling.

Liu Guirong has not forgotten the bullying she has received in the Liu family these days. She is planning to wait for this time to get revenge, but the Liu family is not afraid, because they know Liu Guirong's weakness, and as long as they join hands and work hard If you compliment Liu Guirong, Liu Guirong can't help but contribute everything he has at hand, such as the gold hairpin that was given to the concubine's betrothed last time, that's how he got it.

But these people didn't know that the carriages they saw were all paid for by Yuan Bao, four of which were bought by Yuan Bao a long time ago, and the rest were hired by Su Chunsheng with money. Throughout the day, Su Chun shared more than 500 taels worth of silver and things during the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, and that's why things went so smoothly.

Everyone got out of the carriage and entered the Su family compound. Once they entered the main hall, it had been arranged overnight, and it looked solemn and solemn at this moment. This main hall should be the largest room in the Su family compound. Originally, Su Chunsheng It is intended to entertain guests and hold important ceremonies at home here. It has to be said that he is very farsighted.

Yuan Bao also had a chance to go in, but he was sitting behind a small screen, and behind the other big screen were Liu Guirong, Su Qiaoqiao, Su Youran and some strange female relatives. He couldn't get into the Su Family Courtyard.

It doesn't feel good to be separated like this, Yuan Bao looked boredly at the center of the lobby to relieve the tension.

There are many people in the main hall, these people are known by Yuan Bao, for example, the two gentlemen who came yesterday, they are wearing official uniforms today, there are Li Zheng and the teacher in Xiejiao Village and other prominent figures, they are all here to be witnesses of.

There were also a few people that Yuan Bao didn't know, such as the dignified old man sitting in the middle of the main seat and some other unfamiliar men.

It was only later that Yuan Bao found out that the old man was the patriarch of the Su Clan, and those face-to-face men were all people with more prestige and status in the clan. Because the road was a bit far away, some respected elders of the clan were not present, except for Patriarch Su. In addition, the Su family also came today with a key figure that Yuan Bao had never seen before, and that was Mr. Su.

Mr. Su is in his forties this year. He is short and thin, with a mediocre appearance but a serious face. He looks a little awe-inspiring, but he is too rigid. He teaches in the county school and is said to be the best there. Sir, but Brother Su Chunsheng has not been taught.

Yesterday, after learning about the situation of the Su family, the instruction and instruction gave Su Su Chunsheng brothers the idea of ​​recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan, using the power of the clan to sanction Liu Guirong in a legitimate manner, and then recommended Mr. Su's clan to them.

In fact, it is quite difficult to find such a family. First of all, they must have the same surname, and there are not many people surnamed Su in the local area, at least not as common as Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao and other surnames. Secondly, the clan must be in the local area. , and all have a certain strength, a good family style, and have produced a number of outstanding children, otherwise, Liu Guirong would not be able to discipline him, and he would be easy to laugh at.

The third is that people are willing to accept Su Chunsheng's brothers and sisters and take care of their family's mess. You must know that the elder ancestors look down on them, and it is impossible to accept them as soon as they say they are accepted.

The Su family who came this time has more than a hundred people in terms of number, so it can be called a big family, but it is not a famous and well-established family. The children of the family are basically working in the countryside. In the village in the village, there is no such thing as covering the sky with one hand, and the most promising person in their family is none other than the aforementioned Mr. Su.

Mr. Su is a Juren, but not an official, because although Juren is qualified to be an official in principle, he needs to spend a lot of favors and money to "run for an official". In fact, even if he is awarded a Jinshi, this item is also essential However, some Jinshi either simply idled at home, or made up for some very bad vacancies, and were still poor, not to mention that Mr. Su was just a juren!

And from this point, it can be seen how limited the ability of the Su family is - even with the strength of the whole family, the best disciples were not allowed to be superiors!

However, it is precisely this point that most impresses Su Chunsheng - such a family is easier to buy!

Since Su Chunsheng and Su Qiusheng made decisions quickly and were very generous in their actions, when they arrived in the county yesterday afternoon, Jiaoyu immediately took them to find Mr. Su.

When Mr. Su heard about what Liu Guirong had done, he was also filled with righteous indignation. He agreed to recognize his ancestors and returned to his clan, and took them back to the village where the Su family lived. After that, the important figures in the family sat together to discuss, Naturally, Su Chunsheng inevitably offered enough gifts and a sum of "labor money", and carefully arranged the vehicles for travel.

Yuan Bao hadn't finished observing here, but Patriarch Su had already coughed lightly and started to speak. Despite his age, he was almost [-] years old, but his body was strong and his voice was like a bell, and he spoke quite well. , some words Yuanbao didn’t quite understand, in short, it’s just one sentence, through all kinds of research, the Su family in Xiejiao Village meets the conditions for joining the clan, and now they must be accepted to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan.

There will be a series of ceremonies to follow, not to mention, it is quite formal and cumbersome, and it is not complete, and it will not be completely over until I go to Su’s ancestral hall to pay homage again. However, today is obviously It's too late, so this last step will have to wait until later.

The ceremony came to an end, everyone stopped to rest, and the teas and fruits prepared were brought up like flowing water, all of which were the best that could be bought in Qing'an County. The members of the Su clan ate very happily, and the head of the Su clan slightly Squinting his eyes, he seemed to be resting, but he was secretly planning his own little plan in his heart.

And behind the big screen, Liu Guirong also ate his mouth full, and while eating, he got close to the female family member of the Su family, "The life of this family is really good. I don't know if we recognize our relatives, we can get a share." How much money? Can we move to live with you?" She still believes that everything today is provided by members of the Su clan.

To put it bluntly, this Liu Guirong is also a person who has seen the world and learned the rules, and she did not lose her composure during the ceremony just now. It was only when the food was served that she showed her prototype, revealing her vulgar side, and this The root cause of it, in fact, can not be completely blamed on her.

Since the birth of An Ranran, Liu Guirong's living standard and living environment have been rising steadily, and her taste and taste are like her fat, which has been raised unconsciously.

How can Liu Guirong bear it when he falls directly from such a life to the level where Liu's family can't even eat enough coarse grains?She regretted it for a long time yesterday. If she knew she had to go back to Liu's house, at least she would have to have lunch in the Su's compound before leaving!

I heard that there is such a ceremony today, Liu Guirong did not eat dinner or breakfast, she was just waiting for the noon meal, and now that the ceremony is almost over, her lunch is likely to "fly" away again, she How could we not seize this rare opportunity and eat and drink first? !
The female family members of the Su Clan who came today have different identities, and most importantly, they are all very strong, because they were assigned tasks by the patriarch as early as yesterday, so they know better, and the next step is to wait What will Liu Guirong be!
So after hearing Liu Guirong's words, they either ignored them, or snorted contemptuously, and then continued to eat their own food without haste.They seldom get such a good refreshment, but they have not forgotten their identities and tasks, and they also know that there will be a sumptuous lunch waiting for them, so they are very merciful.

Liu Guirong was a little anxious, she didn't care that others looked down on her, but she cared very much about whether she could get the money, and she would get it right away. Can't stand it!

"Sister, I asked you something, why don't you say it? Now we are a family, and we must have our share of the money! Besides, the reason for us to recognize our ancestors is to give money to my sons Studying!" Liu Guirong was a little earnest, and she felt that this was an obvious matter, seeing that the other party still didn't respond, she couldn't help raising her voice, "Don't you want to give me the money?!" She nodded slightly, expressing magnanimously , "That's fine, then you can make the decision for me, ask Yuan Bao to pay some money, it's all over, right?!"

Suddenly the patriarch uttered a loud cry, "Who is making noise there?!" He was thinking, if he punished Liu Guirong directly next, wouldn't it be a bit too abrupt, but Liu Guirong is even more impatient. Jumped out by himself.

Liu Guirong wasn't scared at all, she was worried that she wouldn't have the chance to speak, and she just made a loud noise to attract attention, she immediately turned out from behind the screen, stood in the middle of the main hall, and started talking, the content was nothing more than asking for money, or this money Either get out of the clan, or ask the clan to help ask for Yuan Bao. In any case, if you want the Su family brothers to study, you must first meet her conditions, and her requirements have increased on the basis of yesterday. Because she thinks that the clan is so powerful, there must be a way to ask Yuan Bao for the money. Anyway, the money is not from the clan, and the clan leader will definitely agree!
"An ignorant and stupid woman who shamelessly made such an excessive request not only ruined the reputation of my Su family, but also harmed the children of my family..." The patriarch Lang Lang said that when it came to the key point, he stood still. Get up, but if someone observes carefully, they will find that the patriarch is not very angry, because from a certain level, the patriarch's thoughts are the same as Liu Guirong.

Before coming, the patriarch didn't have such a strong feeling, but when the carriage drove all the way, he saw the endless green, the houses neatly distributed among them, and the tenants busy in the fields... The patriarch's heart began to become hot.

Twenty hectares of wasteland, a large village of more than 3000 people, can turn into several thousand acres of fertile land in just two years, and the population may exceed [-] to [-] in a few years. Attract those landless strangers!
Isn't such Sujia Village the paradise that the patriarch dreamed of?

The key question now is how to legitimately take these things as his own. Fortunately, he has taken the first successful step—Brother Su Chunsheng is already a member of his tribe!
Liu Guirong was anxious and aggrieved when she heard the severe reprimand from the patriarch, she couldn't help but argue, "Patriarch, I didn't say that the clan must pay the money, I just asked the clan to help say something. In other words, there are plenty of silver ingots!"

Now, the patriarch was really angry, and he also felt the feeling of "pig-like teammate" that Yuan Bao once felt. This Liu Guirong is simply extremely stupid. !All the good things were ruined by Liu Guirong, and he couldn't help being furious, and shouted, "Shut up! Come on, give me a slap!"

Before the patriarch finished speaking, the woman from the clan who had been prepared for a long time rushed over, rounded her arms, and slapped Liu Guirong several times, causing blood to flow from Liu Guirong's nose and mouth, and fell to the ground.

"Ah, ah..." Many people were dumbfounded by this sudden change, and there were loud and small exclamations from all over the main hall, including the children of the Su family and Yuan Bao.

Su Chunsheng and Su Qiusheng thought that the clan would punish Liu Guirong, but they didn't expect that the attack would be so heavy, Yuan Bao also stood up, and was about to go around the screen, but was stopped by the sisters of the Liang family who had been standing by her side. Stopped, Liang Xiulian covered Yuan Bao's mouth with one hand.

Behind the sisters of the Liang family, Mrs. Liang Chen and Aunt Liang were still standing. At this time, Aunt Liang reminded softly, "Master, this is the Su family's housework. We are not qualified to speak. No matter how bad it is, there are still two people left." Is the young master here!"

Yuan Bao let out a long sigh, nodded, and reluctantly sat down again.

Liu Guirong was lying on the ground and struggled for a long time without getting up. It was because the two wives hit her too hard, her eyes were blackened, her ears were buzzing, and her head was dizzy. He began to crawl on the ground, shouting, "Chunsheng, Chunsheng, come and save mother, we can't recognize this ancestor, they are too bullying..." Tears and blood flowed all over his face, looking Very poor.

"Patriarch..." Su Chunsheng stood up to speak, but Su Qiusheng rushed over, trying to help Liu Guirong.

However, they were all stopped, and the two women stood in front of Liu Guirong, blocking Su Qiusheng's way. As soon as Su Chunsheng opened his mouth, the patriarch reprimanded loudly, "The state has state laws, the family has family rules, and there is no law." Let's go, this is chaos, Su Chunsheng, what do you want to say?! There is no reason for your junior to speak here?! Just joined the clan, do you want to violate the clan rules? Don't you think about the children of my Su family? ?!" That's a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, full of momentum!
Su Chunsheng was speechless, so he gave a deep bow to the patriarch, retreated silently, waved at Su Qiusheng, and called Su Qiusheng back, and then the two of them abruptly turned their heads away from Liu Guirong. , However, the eye circles are all red.

Although the Su Chunsheng brothers and Yuan Bao had decided to endure it, they never expected that the next development of the situation would be so out of control that they couldn't bear it.

After calming down the scene, the patriarch began to announce Liu Guirong's crimes, because yesterday he got the list of the separation of the Su family and Yuan Bao, and listened to Mr. Su's instructions, so now he talks about these things, even There is no need to type the draft, it is very smooth.

During this process, Liu Guirong cried again, but was directly tied up by the mother-in-law and gagged.

After the patriarch finished talking about Liu Guirong's guilt, he didn't need Liu Guirong to plead guilty, but asked the witnesses present symbolically. These things were true, and whether it was from the situation or from the point of view of conscience, these people naturally affirmed these claims.

Therefore, the patriarch pronounced the sentence simply and neatly, "Flog Liu Guirong a hundred times and beat him to death!"

"Ah—" Another exclamation sounded again, but the voice was much louder than just now. Liu Guirong rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

The children of the Su family, together with Yuan Bao, rushed out together. This time, no one stopped them anymore, and they couldn't stop them either.

Su Chunsheng and Su Qiusheng yelled, "No, the patriarch is merciful, my mother will not deserve to die!"

"Patriarch, don't kill my mother. I'm willing to pay any amount of money. I really want to. My mother didn't force me to..." This is Yuanbao.
