This day, Zhang Gen is drinking beauty, shaking his head and singing a ditty. Wei Lian is washing clothes in the hospital, and several people walk into the hospital, "excuse me, is this Zhang Gen's brother's home?"

Wei Lian heard the voice, but before she could put down her clothes, Zhang Gen came out of the house with a big step, smiling, "how did you come here?"

"I have something to do with you."

Said the man in front.

Zhang Gen nodded and bowed, very polite, "please come inside, please come inside."

Several people went to the house and looked at Wei Lian when they passed by her.

Zhang Gen suddenly understood and scolded Wei Lian, "things that don't have eyes, don't you go to my mother's side to have a look. Do they have any laundry they need?"

Wei lianmo stood up without saying a word, followed her apron, wiped her hands casually, and walked out with her head down.

A few people did not speak and went into the house.

Before Zhang Gen asked, he took out a large ingot of silver and put it on the table. "We have to ask brother Zhang Gen about something."

Zhang Gen had been shaken by the silver spindle, and said without thinking, "if you want to know anything, just say it."

……

Wei Lian came back, holding a lot of clothes, in addition to Zhang Gen's parents, there are also Zhang Gen's sister-in-law's, a dozen large and small pieces. Wei Lian took a wooden basin, soaked it first, then sat on the bench just now, and continued to wash her clothes.

Those people had already left. Zhang Gen came out of the house and looked at so many clothes. His eyes flashed and he was a little angry. "Why so many? My sister-in-law is lazy again? "

Wei Lian didn't take his words. She rinsed the washing clothes in the wooden basin, wrung them dry, and put them in the basin on one side. Then she said, "what's the matter, please tell me."

She has known Zhang Gen's temperament for a long time. As long as she asks for help from her mother's family, she will treat her better and protect her.

Zhang gen, with a smile, came and squatted beside the wooden basin. "I don't love my daughter-in-law. You see, my hands are frozen in such a cold day."

Wei Lian did not speak.

Zhang Gen was not annoyed. He said with a smile, "well, I'm almost lazy. I want to collect sweet potatoes tomorrow."

Wei Lian turned over her clothes and continued to knock, "I'll follow you back to my mother's house tomorrow."

This is what Zhang Gen wanted. He stood up happily, hummed a little song and went to the house, and continued to drink his little wine.

The next day, Zhang Gen went to collect a few bags of sweet potatoes, not much, that is, a hundred jin, and came back to pick up Wei Lian. Wei Lian took out her new clothes, put them on, and followed him back to Weijia village.

Zhang Gen didn't come for several days. The village head and his wife thought he was ill, and they were going to find someone to inquire about him. They came here again today. They knew that he was ok, so they were relieved.

"I'm so tired these days. I've had a rest for a few days."

Zhang Gen explained with a smile.

The village head nodded and asked them to sit down for dinner.

Zhang Gen put his rice bowl in his hand, put a chopstick in it, and asked casually, "father-in-law, let's sell this vermicelli once a few days."

The head of the village didn't take it to heart. He just said, "I'm not sure that boss Huo has other business. He comes here about ten days and a half a month."

Zhang Gen nodded and kept it in mind. Holding the village head in his hand, he said, "our workshop is getting more and more money."

"It was."

Mention this, the village head is happy, the people in the village can earn money in their own door, around a few village people who do not envy?

Even the head of Zhoujia village, who met him now, didn't look as tall as he was last time.

What's more, when the weather got warmer, the new workshop would be built immediately. By that time, there would be no idle people in the village. Think about that scene, the village head is happy.

Zhang Gen changed the topic, "sweet potato is more and more difficult to collect. I went out for a long time, and then I came back. After some time, if I build a new workshop, can I follow me to work?"

"What kind of work?"

The village head glared at him, "even if you can earn more than 100 Jin, you can earn a lot of copper, which is more than what you earn when you go to work. If you can't get it near you, you can run far away."

Zhang Gen quickly put down his chopsticks, picked up the public chopsticks and gave the village head a dish, "what my father-in-law said is that I just said this, let me go to work, I still don't come, it's too far, it's too hard to run back and forth."

From then on, Zhang Gen came every day and collected less and less sweet potatoes, sometimes hundreds of Jin, sometimes dozens of Jin.

This day, driving the ox cart to come to line up, not a long time later, we saw Huo Nan's carriage coming.

Zhang Gen's eyes flashed. He turned the cart and drove out of the village.

The village head was busy receiving Huo Nan and didn't pay attention to him.

In spring, it's the time when he's out of business. The vermicelli are selling faster. This time, only eight or nine days later, Huo Nan comes over with a smile on his face. Although this vermicelli can't help him make a lot of money, it brings him a lot of customers, along with many other goods in his hands. It also sells faster.

"Village head,"

Huo Nan, as always, bows his hands first and laughs.

The village head is more happy than he is. Huo Nan's coming here means that there is money coming in again. Now there are many vermicelli, which can be sold for more than ten Liang each time.

The two exchanged greetings. Huo Nan looked around and asked with a smile, "isn't lady Xia here again?"

"If you want to find her, you have to go to the county. She is very busy every day. She hasn't been here for many days."

Huo Nan laughs, "I want to go to her fast food restaurant to have a meal, but you see, I'm so busy that I can't touch my feet. Where can I have time to go?"

After loading, Huo Nan paid the money and went out of the village in a carriage. He wandered out of the village for more than ten miles and came to the foot of a mountain. The carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, master..."

The coachman's voice trembled.

Huo Nan opened the car curtain and saw a chair in the middle of the road, sitting on it alone. Behind him, there were many big men, all of them fierce and fierce.

Thinking that he had been robbed, Huo Nan was worried,

The man sitting on the chair said, "boss Huo, come down and let's talk?"

……

Zhang Gen reported the letter and got another Ding of silver. He didn't want the sweet potatoes on the cart. He threw them in the ditch and drove the cart back.

Meizizi went back home and went to the place where he had hidden the silver spindles. He wanted to put these silver spindles together and put out his hand, but he didn't touch anything. He suddenly changed his face and cried, "Wei Lian, Wei Lian!"

Wei Lian ran into the room in a hurry, "what's the matter?"

Zhang Gen was furious. "Where's my silver spindle?"

Wei Lian didn't know what he was talking about. "What silver spindle?"

Zhang Gen went up and kicked Wei Lian to the ground. "Don't pretend to me. Did you steal back to your mother's house?"

The place where I put the silver spindle is very secret. I didn't go to it specially. I couldn't find it at all.

"I haven't seen any silver spindles."

Seeing that Wei Lian doesn't admit it, Zhang Gen gets red and starts fighting. Wei Lian tries to get up and run several times, but fails to get up.

"I'll beat you to death. If you don't hand in my silver spindle today, I'll peel your skin."

Zhang Gen hasn't beaten Wei Lian less these years, but it's not as heavy as it is today. Wei Lian just feels that her bones are going to be broken.

Zhang Gen hit red eye, again and again, "I kill you, I kill you."

Wei Lian with the last trace of consciousness, fiercely toward the door a roll, gritted his teeth to get up, stumbling to run out.

"You dare to run."

Zhang Gen chases out.

The two children just came back. When they saw this scene, they were stunned. The big one came over, hugged Zhang Gen's leg and called Wei Lian, "mother, run, run!"

Wei Lian stumbled out of the village. She didn't know how far she had gone. Her feet were unsteady. She fell into a ditch by the road. Before she got up, she heard a faint cry for help
