Chapter 87 Shit don't understand things
The man finally left, Qiao Mai heaved a sigh of relief, opened the courtyard door, went back to the house and fell asleep with Ling'er in his arms.
Even though they only came back for three days, it was really exhausting for her.
The Yuan family had separated at this time, and the four brothers bought a homestead in the village and started building a house.
They cook their own meals, starting from the big room, and every time a meal is cooked, the children will bring it to the upper room.
Like to eat or not, they will be hungry if they don’t eat, and they don’t abuse the elderly, they just give away whatever they eat.
Old man Yuan and his wife scolded at first, but then the children put down their things and left without paying attention, and then they turned into hands-on actions. After the four brothers discussed it, they didn't even let the children send the food.
Beat the child vigorously, but still eat enough to support him.
Seeing their sons treating themselves like this one by one, they wanted to make a fuss, but they didn't expect the four families to unite.
During the pushing and shoving, the two old men were beaten by their daughter-in-law one and pinched by the other, and they suffered a lot.
When they calm down, they will have time to listen to the news of the fifth son.
As soon as he heard that the fifth child had actually gone to Fucheng to study, he immediately panicked.
It wasn't that he was afraid that he would become an official in the future, but that he would not be honored in the future, so he didn't care about anything else, so they found Qiao's house on the second day after Yuan's family left.
It was still early in the morning, just as the sky was lightening, there was a knock on the door.
The two dogs kept barking when they heard the movement, and Qiao Mai, who was sleeping soundly in the space, felt something strange.
As soon as he came out of the space, he heard someone impolitely banging on the courtyard door.
She quietly came to the door, she pursed her lips when she heard the scolding outside, went to the kitchen, fetched a basin of water from the tank, grabbed a handful of ashes from the stove, threw them in and stirred them, The door slammed through.
The days in early March, especially in the early morning, are still very cold.
The two old things who were splashed with water screamed, wiped the water from their heads with their hands, pinched their waists and cursed even harder.
Qiao Mai picked up the stick and opened the door, hitting their legs and buttocks.
The first time you hit him, you knew the pain. Qiao Mai didn't even give them a chance to scold them. The second time he hit him, he followed up, and the speed was very fast. Yuan Xu's one hit, and the old man Yuan followed closely. one time.
The two ignored the cursing, got up and ran towards the entrance of the alley.
Qiao Mai didn't chase after him, but turned around and went back, opened the courtyard door and went to the kitchen.
A pair of veterans at the entrance of the alley, seeing that they didn't catch up, immediately sat on the ground and patted their thighs and cried.
Some people know them and know that if they don't report to the police today, the old couple will not leave, and the trouble may be even worse. They don't talk about it, but they are even more upset when they hear it. They have an urge to go up and beat them up. Feel.
So Mayor Qian was invited over early in the morning.
As soon as he arrived with a few guards, the old couple didn't dare to cry anymore, and kept yelling that they were injured.
"Mayor, we were injured by Joe, please make the decision."
Mayor Qian gritted his teeth, "You are not at your house so early in the morning, what are you doing here?"
"Are we looking for a son?"
"You really forget to eat but not fight, looking for a son? Who is your son?"
"Yuan's family started?"
"If the mayor remembers correctly, under the witness of the mayor, you have already cut off your friendship."
"That's our son too."
Mayor Qian's face darkened, "If you don't want to be caught in the yamen, I'll count to five. If you don't leave, don't blame the mayor for being rude."
"Mayor, you can't do this."
"It's really **** that you don't understand. You want to continue to come here after breaking up a relationship. Your head was kicked by a donkey? Or did the strong wind blow your brain away? It is written in the law that once you sign the divorce document, that is You are like strangers, without that relationship, how dare you come here without shame?"
"It is written in the law that our blood relationship with him also exists."
Mayor Qian knew that he couldn't tell this kind of person clearly, so he waved at the guard.
"Tie them up, throw them in the Yamen, explain the matter clearly, and let them sit in prison for a few days."
"Yes, my lord!"
While talking, the guard took off the rope from his waist, and was about to step forward to tie him up. When the two veterans saw him, they quickly got up from the ground and ran away.
What hurts? It's completely trying to blackmail people, running faster than a rabbit, how can it look like an injured one?
Mayor Qian yelled at the ground when he saw the backs of the two old men.
"Damn, all kinds of things have appeared, Mrs. Qiao is also unlucky, she will meet such a **** thing."
The guard on the side smiled, "It's a good thing that Mrs. Qiao met such a good official as you, my lord, otherwise, it would be enough for her to drink a pot."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, my lord, it would be enough for me to drink a pot."
With a swipe, the courtyard door opened, and Mrs. Qiao walked out from inside with a smile.
Mayor Qian glared at her angrily, "It's all you, the mayor is sleeping soundly, so he was called over to compensate!"
"Then I invite the mayor to have breakfast at home?"
The mayor pouted and shook his head, "I don't dare to enter your house, but it's okay if your husband-in-law is here."
"Why don't you wait here for a while, I'm done, how about you eat at the door?"
"No need, next time, when your husband comes back, you go home and invite the mayor of the town."
"That's fine, then I won't send you off"
"Hmph, you will have a good mouth"
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, shopkeeper Lu came. When she saw him, she grinned to the bottom of her mouth, disgusted.
"Hey, Mayor Qian has worked hard, came out early in the morning to uphold justice?"
"Hmph, you two sisters, one is worse than the other."
After finishing speaking, he glared at shopkeeper Lu and left with his guards. Shopkeeper Lu looked at his back and made a childish grimace.
"Sister Lu, why are you here?"
"I'm not busy, I'm here."
"Two pieces of embroidery work just came out, you should sell them."
"Oh, that's great, people have been asking me a lot these days."
Qiao Mai took her hand into the courtyard, and blocked the courtyard door with his backhand.
Didn't enter the house, there was a square table in the yard, and shopkeeper Lu sat on the bench on the table.
"Where's Linger?"
"I'm still asleep in the room, haven't I eaten breakfast?"
"Nope."
"Wait, I'll cook something delicious for you."
Shopkeeper Lu swallowed her saliva, and when she saw the two bowls of snail noodles, her face darkened, and she pinched her nose and pointed at the noodles.
"It smells so bad, can it be eaten?"
"Eat as soon as I tell you to eat, it's delicious"
Qiao Mai didn't care about her. Anyway, he was hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing how delicious her food was, Lu Sanniang also started to eat it. Once she caught her mouth, she realized how delicious it was.
"tasty"
The two of them finished a large bowl each, and then wiped their mouths.
Qiao Mai went back to the house and brought her two small embroidery pieces and one large embroidery piece for her.
"It will be May and June when the embroidery will be released again."
"Hey, it's fine, it doesn't matter how many months, as long as you don't seal the embroidery."
"You don't just come here to do embroidery work, do you?"
"Tell you,"
Shopkeeper Lu approached her ear mysteriously and said, "My Ruxin's marriage is booked."
"Oh? Which one did you order?" Qiao Mai was also happy for his apprentice.
"The county seat, the second son of the Feng family."
"Have you found out clearly?"
"I see. That one is just like mine. It's a merchant. It's neither big nor small. It's well-established, right?"
"I heard you said the second son just now, does that family still have a concubine?"
Talking about this Lu Sanniang was also a little embarrassed, "Yeah, except for this, I am a little dissatisfied, and everything else is pretty good."
"The water in the back house of a concubine's house is black"
"I know that too, but that kid is really good. He was taught very well by Mr. Feng Liu. It would be a pity to miss it."
"Have you seen Xin'er?"
"See, she is willing."
"Fine, as long as she is willing, nothing else matters."
"I think so too, and after that child knew about his father's doting on concubines and destroying his wives, he swore from an early age that he would not take concubines in the future."
"I hope the oath is true."
"No matter what, it looks good now."
"Have you ordered yet?"
"On the sixth day of March, come to propose marriage. Will you come over then?"
