Chapter 206 No chance of revenge on her
In the blink of an eye, it is March 3rd, the sun is shining brightly, and there is still no rain. The people look at the sky every day, praying to God in their hearts, to give them a shower.
Some even went to kowtow to burn the fire, and the poor even knelt to the world.
Qiao Mai took the children with him when he had nothing to do, and let them look at the people by the puddle, those people who came to fetch water to irrigate the fields with buckets.
"Look carefully, the food you eat, every grain of rice, every mouthful of noodles, is because of their hard work of carrying water, watering the ground, weeding, and harvesting, before it reaches our dining table."
"Mother, why do they carry water?"
"Because it didn't rain, they had to carry water, otherwise the food would be lost. Not only would they be hungry, but so would we."
"Farmers are working so hard."
"So, let's not waste a single grain."
Brother Fengyun will be twelve years old after the new year, and usually because of his martial arts practice, he has grown very strong, and his height is almost as high as that of an adult man.
"Both of you go and help the two women bring back a load of water."
"Yes, mother!"
Although the two of them usually practice martial arts very diligently, but let them carry the water for a while, and when they came back, they rubbed their shoulders.
"Mother, farm work is more tiring than martial arts."
"Now you know how hard it is for farmers?"
"Yes, they are not only tired, but also braving the scorching sun in summer and the severe cold in winter, it is too easy."
"Treasure what is in front of you. Many children of our family have been spoiled and spoiled since childhood. Once something happens, they can't bear the hardship and are exhausted by life early. It's not as good as these people who usually lack clothes and wear less. They want to live a long and healthy life and still exercise regularly. "
"Mom, after we finish our homework every day, why don't we come over and help them carry water?"
"You can figure it out. Mom won't stop you. I just want to tell you the truth. Don't pamper yourself too much. Only when you are suffering will you know how to cherish it, and only then will you know how hard it is to be happy."
Qiao Mai smiled. Unexpectedly, the next afternoon, Brother Fengyun began to find time to go out to help some elderly people carry water.
In the beginning, I only picked one load, and then two loads a day, and three loads a day. Qiao Mai expressed his satisfaction when he saw them practice their words with actions.
On the tenth day of March, Yuan Jiaqi and Qin Yide set foot on the road of scientific research again.
This time Mr. Wang was also there. Along the way, he not only guided Yuan Jiaqi, but also gave advice to Qin Yide.
This kid from the Qin family used to go to school in the county seat. Since he was admitted as a scholar, he has been studying at home.
The main thing is that the family has been providing for him and his nephew. Life is very stressful, so he voluntarily returned to study by himself.
Being able to take the thirty-sixth place in the exam is also the result of his talent and hard work. Mr. Wang has a good impression of him and is willing to give them advice.
This time he will go with him, one is to give them homework guidance, and the other is that they are going to take the Jinshi exam, and they need to be explained to them about the pre-examination and post-examination.
The third is that he is worried, and wants to protect them all the way, and strive to create the best conditions for these two people.
As soon as Wang Zhifu heard that his father was going to the capital, he immediately sent a team of people to protect him secretly.
One more thing, Mr. Wang didn't say anything about it, that is, there is a rule in the capital that the son-in-law is caught under the list. He doesn't want these two people to go to the list stupidly, and cause trouble for the family.
With the old gentleman following, Qiao Mai has nothing to worry about.
Her task is to take care of the children and reduce accidents to zero.
At this juncture, Tian Sanzhuang retired from the army early and went home, and the Tian family was killing chickens to expose him.
"Father, mother, the son is not filial and cannot serve his parents at home."
Tian took his hand and cried excitedly.
"Son, it's good that you come back, it's good that you come back, you don't know how much we miss you."
Old man Tian's eye circles were also red, "It's good to come back, sit down quickly, you have been away for five years, and you don't send a letter or anything, so that parents can rest assured."
"Practice every day, I'm as tired as a dog, and I don't have time."
"When you come back this time, you won't go back, right?"
"I won't go back. No one wants to go back. It's a coincidence for my son. There are no battles to fight in these years. Otherwise, my son's life will have to be confessed there."
"San Zhuang, the sons of the family have brought their monthly salary home, what about yours?"
"It is useful for the son to keep it."
"What do you want to do?"
"My son wants to find a job in the Yamen, but he can't be a soldier for five years and go home to farm?"
Tian Sanzhuang didn't like his parents thinking about his money bag as soon as they came back, so he turned his head left and right.
"Where's my wife?"
As soon as he mentioned Qiao Mai, the faces of the old couple sank.
"Where's my wife?"
Tian Sanzhuang asked again, and the old man Tian said while knocking on his cigarette bag.
"As soon as you left, she went wild, asked her family for a divorce letter, and went to the town to live a good life."
"What, it's impossible? How can you give her a divorce letter? Since your son married her, he was born as a member of our family and died as a ghost of our family. What are you doing to let her go? I'm so **** off." .”
Tian Sanzhuang gritted his teeth and stared at the old man Tian and his wife. He had been in the army for five years, and his aura was not comparable to that of a farmer.
The two old men looked at him a little scared, so they explained the whole thing in detail, trembling.
From Tian Sanzhuang leaving home, to Qiao Mai's child being kicked out, to her going to sue them, to getting the divorce papers, until now, she has set up a female household, became a wealthy household in the town, and recruited a wife. He told Tian Sanzhuang carefully about his son-in-law.
At this moment, Tian Sanzhuang didn't have the momentum he had just now, "You said that she got close to the magistrate?"
"Yes, even the mayor is against her in everything. Now she is the wife of Juren, and she will take the scientific examination again soon. I heard that her husband has already gone to the capital. If she wins by then, she will be the official wife."
Tian Sanzhuang clenched his hands into fists, "This bitch!"
He knows that with her current achievements, he has no chance of revenge on her!
At this time, the Tian family had already set up the table, and the three sat in the upper room, drinking some wine and talking about Qiao Mai.
"There is a little girl next to her, she is almost five years old, she looks exactly like you."
"Didn't it mean that the child didn't survive?"
"Yes, she did carry the child to the wasteland to bury it, and we did look at the village where she left empty-handed. And she hasn't seen a child around her for more than half a year in the town."
"What do parents mean?"
"Blood test, if yes, take it. I heard that she treats the child very well. With this child in hand, if you don't believe her, she won't give in."
Tian Sanzhuang suffocated the wine in the bowl in one gulp, "I have my own idea about this matter, so leave it alone."
I thought that the Tian family would be able to raise their eyebrows when their son came back, but unexpectedly, Tian Sanzhuang remained silent.
Going out early and returning late every day, he has been keeping a low profile since he came back.
It's not that he doesn't want to stand out, but that he is not a parent and has no brains. Even if he knows that Qiao Mai is doing well and he wants to gain fame, he will not easily provoke her, because he knows that the person behind her can't afford to provoke him.
Since he came back, he has been busy looking for a relationship with the door, trying to find a job in the yamen.
Being a soldier for a while, he has a shrewd mind, and he knows that it is impossible to be successful in a lifetime.
Fortunately, he was very discerning in the army, and he was valued by the higher-ups. He was a small boss, and when he came back, that person wrote a letter of recommendation. question.
It also happened that the yamen was recruiting people at this time, and the former county magistrate was ransacked by the emperor and exterminated.
The new county magistrate was last year's Shinke Jinshi.
Even recruiting yamen servants, he will personally supervise them. Those who are unqualified, not to mention money, are not good for recommendation letters.
Fortunately, Tian Sanzhuang was not in vain as a soldier for the past five years. He was not afraid of fighting ordinary strong men, so he was selected by luck.
Now the Tian family husband and wife got excited, and deliberately ran to the opposite of Jixiangyuan to show off.
