Chapter 349 The person who told Yang Erya
After all, Old Man Yang was a little worried because he was his grandson. He stuffed Yang Laigui with two taels of silver so that he could hide it. He went back to Qingfengzhai to find Lao He for instructions for a long time before leaving with Li.
When the old couple returned to the village, it was already time to light the lanterns.
In the village in winter, the cold wind howls at night, and the wind is filled with ice and frost, which is bone-chilling.
Yang Laosan opened the courtyard door and stared at the dark door from time to time. When he heard the movement, he hurried out, "Mom and dad, why have you been gone for so long? Where are you? You haven't come back with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou rushed to the yard like crazy and shouted, "Come on, come on, my son!"
"What are you howling for? I'm not deaf yet!" Li cursed angrily.
Mrs. Zhou was like a duck that had been strangled by the neck. She could no longer quack, but she kept wiping her tears nervously, "Auntie, I know you think our third bedroom is not as promising as the big one, but it's also expensive to come here." Your grandson! How can you leave your child outside in the cold weather? What if something happens? "
Yang Laosan was also extremely worried, "Mom and Dad, where did Lai Gui go? I'll go pick him up."
Old man Yang took a long breath of relief speechlessly.
Li even scolded Yang Laosan. He sat down and drank a bowl of water before telling Yang Laigui where he had gone.
Yang Laosan and his wife were stunned.
Yang Laosan came back to his senses and became excited, "Mom and dad, isn't it the time for Mapo Academy to recruit students? I've inquired before and found that they only accept those with solid knowledge and those who have not yet enlightened themselves. We don’t want any children, because the academy can’t accept that many children, and the enlightenment private school is already under construction, but it’s not that fast!”
Old man Yang finally looked better after hearing this, "Do you think I don't know? Today I went out of my way to ask the county magistrate for help. From the third family, let me tell you this!"
It's a foregone conclusion that Lai Gui will go back to Mapo Academy. You don't know how to teach children. From now on, just stay in the village and don't mess around. The academy is not something you, a woman, can go to. From now on, the third child will have to go. Just go over and see the child and give Laigui something. "
Zhou was horrified, "Dad! I am Lai Gui's biological mother! Can't you even see your child?"
Mrs. Li frowned, "Who won't let you see the child? Tell yourself, what do you know? Besides constantly talking about making the child learn, what else can you do? If you take a good child out for a year, I will almost not recognize him when he comes back. Now that I'm out, if I let you talk about my grandson again, can you afford it if my grandson is really ruined by you in the future?"
Mrs. Li's words were so serious that Ms. Zhou couldn't lift her head from the scolding. She wanted to refute, but Mr. Li didn't give her this chance at all. Moreover, this time she clearly sensed that her parents-in-law were dissatisfied with her. If it was true, If the stalemate continues, maybe the parents-in-law can get Yang Laosan to divorce her.
Zhou was so full of grievances that she could only swallow it back.
Yang Laosan didn't want his parents to continue to stare at Zhou's matter, so he immediately told the old couple what Liu said during the day.
Old Man Yang frowned subconsciously and his expression became serious, "Yang Han is the king of the mountains. There is no place in the nearby mountains and forests that he wouldn't dare to go to. This kid doesn't trouble people easily. Every time he opens his mouth, he does nothing good. It’s the Wei River that bursts its banks, and I don’t know what will happen this time!”
"No way! The current magistrate of Quzhou Prefecture, Mr. Ji, is a good official who loves the people like his own son. Don't you know that Mr. Ji even built a city wall on the seaside for the people of Quzhou? He can hardly keep his black gauze hat and still thinks about the people. , Such good officials are rare! And Mr. Xie, the magistrate of Ping'an County, I just met him today. It's really nothing to say. If the people above are so honest, how can there be any trouble?" Mr. Li only thought that Mr. Yang Groundless worries. Old man Yang was just talking and could not refute Li's words at all.
The next day is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Logically speaking, Ms. Zhou should take the man and child back to her parents' home, but the child was sent away by her parents-in-law yesterday, and she herself died after eating a lot. In addition, due to the water level of the river, Yang Laosan had no intention of accompanying Ms. Zhou back to her parents' home.
Zhou had no choice but to go back alone.
Her natal parents have passed away, leaving only two brothers. The Zhou family used to be very poor, but later the Yang family made life easier.
As a result, the Zhou family's status in her natal family has increased. Every time she returns to Zhoujia Village, she will be sought after by her natal family. In order to receive Zhou's family of three, Zhou's sister-in-law does not even return to her natal family. She also invites her nephews and nieces to come over, eagerly looking forward to it. One night, I unexpectedly found my sister-in-law.
Zhou's sister-in-law Miao's expression suddenly changed, "Sister-in-law, where are Yang Dou and Lai Gui? Why didn't they come with you? There are also Erya and Lai Gui. Didn't they bring them back last year?"
Mrs. Zhou had previously announced that she wanted to look after the girl in her husband's second wife's house. Mrs. Miao immediately mentioned her nephew Miao Ji. Miao Ji was fifteen last year and logically should have gotten married. In order to wait for news from the Yang family, she insisted on delaying the marriage. They didn't even talk about getting married until the Chinese New Year. No, in order to give an explanation to her mother's family, Miao called her nephews and nieces early, just to finalize the marriage. Now that Yang Erya is not here, it's strange that Miao's face looks good.
Mr. Zhou made a face and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone, "No one takes me seriously, so what else do I need to bring!"
"What's going on?" Ms. Miao's heart tightened. Their family's good life still depends on the Yang family. She must not let her sister-in-law cause trouble in her husband's family, but with her timid and fearful nature, it won't be a problem!
The more Miao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Mr. Zhou told all the grievances she had suffered at her husband's family.
Miao's face immediately darkened, "You said you brought Gui to Fucheng, so just go and get it back. What about the house in Fucheng?"
Zhou hesitated for a long time without giving an explanation.
Miao was almost angry to death at this time, "You said you are such a big man, why can't you take on the responsibility? You are not as good as Erya! By the way, how is the marriage I told you before? Today I But after finding Miao Ji, whether it can be accomplished or not is not something I can boast about. Our Miao Ji is one of the best in our village.
He is a good hand in the mountains and rivers. Many girls in the village like him. My sister-in-law stopped him because of what I said before. If it doesn't work on your side, I have to send a reply to my parents' side! "
Zhou looked at Miao Ji, who had a clear face, and felt very embarrassed. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Mr. Miao was completely unhappy now, "Sister-in-law, you didn't fool me, did you?"
"No, no, no," Mrs. Zhou became anxious and explained in a panic: "It was indeed my mother-in-law who asked me to marry Erya before. Didn't everyone go to Fucheng last year, and Erya also followed. When I came back, I asked He wanted to get over the child's wishes and thought about taking her back with him to marry him, but when the child got outside and gained experience, he became more concerned.
She also said that she wanted to be self-reliant and self-reliant like her eldest uncle. How could I dare to persuade a girl to have such an idea before we even said we were getting married? What if Miao Ji marries home in the future and finds out that Erya is not gentle and virtuous? "
