Chapter 178 IOUs

Chapter 120 IOUs

Not only Zhao Shuangxi couldn't bear the grievance, but also the people who watched the fun talking about it.

"Look at how the people who have been taught to do this kind of thing, are lazy and sneaky, and now they are hurting people."

"That's right, they say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and you treat your own child as a treasure."

"Fortunately, this kind of scum was exiled. It really did a great harm to Pinghe County!"

Hearing these words, Ge Shi's whole face was contorted, and he broke free from Old Man Zhao's arms without being weak at all, pointing to each of the people who spoke, "The children you teach are fine, and all of them are admitted to the number one prize." Is it? My son was wronged, my son, my darling, you utterly devoid of conscience..."

Ge Shi was distressed at the gate of the yamen, and there was nothing he could do about it at the gate of the yamen, so he couldn't cover his mouth to keep him from crying.

At this time, the village chief walked up to the old man Zhao and said, "Zhao Guang was sentenced to exile, and he also wanted to pay us 13 taels of silver. Should you pay us first, or give us an IOU?"

"I..." Old man Zhao blushed with embarrassment.

After living most of his life, he actually had to bear a huge debt for his stepson.

"Do you want money, or life? Take it." Ge Shi didn't cry anymore, and came over and pushed the village chief, slapping his chest loudly at the same time.

"A woman like you is such a mess, there are still people who want someone like you." The village head looked at old man Zhao with contempt.

Old man Zhao is also at a loss, why does everyone say that Ge Shi is not good? Since he married Ge Shi, the meals on the stove are always hot, and it is also warm to hug and sleep at night.

The judge was sentenced by the magistrate of the county, and it was not something that Ge Shi could deny by messing around.

In the end, old man Zhao and Mrs. Ge were still required to write an IOU, and the couple signed their fingerprints together.

Zhao Shuangxi's mother and daughter had neglected the attention of the village chief and the others, and were sent back in a carriage by the yamen servants.The carriage ran steadily, and there were carriages that could shade the sun above your head.

He Lanshan's mind is moving, and after buying a house, she can still buy a vehicle.

When He Lanshan was thinking about it, the village chief said, "Jin Yi's family, you should be more careful recently, I see that your stepmother is not a good stubble, otherwise you wouldn't be able to teach such a son."

"Village Chief Xie reminded me that this incident in our village was caused by me. I'm really sorry." Zhao Shuangxi also felt guilty. She felt a little sorry for letting the people in the village suffer.

He Lanshan felt that what Zhao Shuangxi said was reasonable, so she started talking and said, "Then, when we get back, we'll send some fried rice cakes to the uncles and uncles who are watching the night."

"You're still polite, I like fried frogs."

"It looks like I've been stabbed, but the scar is actually just a little bit big, so don't take it to heart."

"Me too, I just caught a cold, and I'll be fine when I get better."

The villagers were very considerate, but they also readily accepted the fried frog proposed by He Lanshan. Who made the fried frog so fragrant and crispy, few could resist the temptation of the fried frog.

It usually takes an hour and a half for an ox cart to arrive at the county seat, but this carriage took only half an hour.

When Zhao Shuangxi's mother and daughter arrived home, they were both thirsty, but they didn't drink a drop of water in order to catch Zhao Guang.

"Drink slowly." Mrs. Xu poured hot water for them, and looked at He Lanshan tenderly. She wanted to stretch out her hand to make her feel better, but she shrank back a little embarrassed.

Zhao Shuangxi couldn't help but told Mrs. Xu all about today's events. From the time they noticed that Zhao Guang was following them, and then asked the owner of the restaurant to borrow someone, there was a story about the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole.

Although Zhao Shuangxi said it quite plainly, catching a desperado like Zhao Guang was already very exciting.

After hearing this, Xu's crescent-like eyes, exactly the same as Zhao Xiaowu's, stared round.

"Really exiled?"

"Really, we can sleep with peace of mind in the future." Zhao Shuangxi drank the remaining large bowl of water again. This is Xu's warm water. rock.

He Lanshan reminded Zha Shuangxi to prepare the frogs that had been promised to the villagers first, but Xu sat aside as if in a daze.

"Let me do it!" Zhao Shuangxi saw that Xu Shi had already processed hundreds of frogs, so she took them to one side and set them up, with her back to Xu Shi, she also couldn't see how she marinated them.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?" He Lanshan saw that Zhao Shuangxi had put down all the ingredients for marinating the frog, but Xu was still in a daze, and it took a long time to blink her eyes.

"I'm worried about my family. If your grandfather can't afford the money, he will definitely ask your uncle again." Xu's hands were twisted together.

Finally, with the help of the eldest sister-in-law's family, she made some money by collecting frogs. Mrs. Xu was really reluctant to have the money taken away by old man Zhao for nothing. She bit her lip unwillingly.

"Aunt, who is putting the money in this family?" He Lanshan asked.

"Of course it's according to what you said, Xiao Wu is in charge."

"Isn't that good? I don't think brother Xiaowu is soft-hearted. Since uncle doesn't know where the money is, there is nothing he can do if he wants to control grandpa!" He Lanshan believed in Zhao Xiaowu, after all Like Xu Shi, he is a person with a tough heart.

Xu thinks about it too, her husband's ears are soft, but his son is different, he can make money at a young age, and he can still manage money. Thinking of this, the corners of Xu's lips curled up slightly.

Zhao Shuangxi and He Lanshan went to bed and squinted for a while. They wanted to wait until the fried frog was marinated, but Mrs. Xu had already heated up the oil in the stove.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you prevent me from coming?"

"Double Happiness, I'm here to earn this money. If you don't ask me to do it, I'll be restless."

Mrs. Xu lived here for a while, and got closer to Zhao Shuangxi and He Lanshan, and gradually talked more, instead of just jumping out with a few words.

When Xu's fried the frogs, Zhao Shuangxi packed them in a basket and was going to deliver the frogs with He Lanshan. This time, she was more generous and planned to give ten frogs to each of the villagers who caught Zhao Guang during the day and night patrol. So is the village chief's house.

When they came back after finishing the division, an hour had passed, because the women of each family would pull Zhao Shuangxi to talk and scold Zhao Guang together, calling her what she deserved.

When they got home, they found that there was another person in the yard, looking at cleaning up the frogs.

"Brother Xiao Wu?" He Lanshan called out, looking at her back and the patched clothes.

Zhao Xiaowu turned his head, there was a slap mark on his face, and the marks of five fingers could be counted. Zhao Xiaowu's eyes did not have the usual expression, as if they were covered with a layer of dust.

Before Zhao Shuangxi started to ask, footsteps could be heard outside, and it was Zhao Yao panting after him. Seeing Zhao Xiaowu here, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This kid ran away after arguing with me. Knowing that Xiao Wu is with you, luckily he didn’t run around.”

"Brother, did you hit Xiao Wu?" Zhao Shuangxi looked at Zhao Yao who was at eye level with him in disbelief.

Her eldest brother has never said a single harsh word since he was a child, so how could he put such a heavy hand on his own son.
