In a blink of an eye, another two days passed. It took a day to pickle and buy cattle at home. The next day, Li shi and Boss Zhou returned to Li’s house and it took another day.
On the third day, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren took the eldest Zhou, the youngest daughter, and the eldest grandson Mingyun to the Yang family.
In ancient times, it was usually the eldest son who went out, and the second child looked after the house. Even if the eldest son could not shoulder the responsibilities, he still had the eldest grandson. This was the advantage of the eldest son and the eldest grandson in an improvised farmer family. The poor farmers were monogamous, and the eldest son and the eldest grandson had absolute status.
Zhou Shuren agreed with the importance of the eldest son and the grandson. Without rules, there would be chaos in the family, and the eldest son was the ruler who could prevent family disasters. Even if the eldest son was not intelligent, he would not go beyond the bounds set by him. If the eldest son was not capable, then he would carry his eldest grandson with him.
Zhou Shuren told Zhulan everything he knew. Even if Zhulan didn’t study ancient times, she felt it was very reasonable. She had nothing to refute. Zhou Shuren had a plan.
The Yang family was in Sunjia Village, which was a little far from Zhoujia Village. Many ancient villages were gathering places for ethnic groups, and the villages were named after their surnames. It was these ethnic groups that a county magistrate with no background had trouble with. The ethnic groups were large in number, and each of them had one or two successful individuals whom the magistrate couldn’t move.
Yang’s surname was not a big surname in Sunjia Village, but no one dared to provoke him. The Yang family knew martial arts. They ran with the dart and knew a lot of people. Anyone who knows a little bit was unwilling to mess with the Yang family. If you annoyed them, they could beat you up! There was no surveillance in ancient times, and without evidence, no one was going to catch them. This was also the reason why Wang Ru was particularly afraid of the Yang family in the original text.
Don’t think too much of the Yang family. It’s impossible for a dart runner to have never seen blood. Even the original owner had seen blood, although under coercion. The fact that they were not easy to mess with was genuine.
Every time Zhulan thought about it, she understood that she was also very lucky. She wore a good identity, and her parents’ family was very strong. (1) Anyway, she really doesn’t envy those who rise up in adversity. Living in a nest of high-quality people was just too frustrating to think about.
The Yang family was separated, and the two brothers of Zhulan lived separately. Zhulan went directly to the eldest brother’s house, as her parents lived with the eldest brother.
When the ox cart arrived, Zhou Shuren got off first and helped Zhulan down, “Be careful, there are stones under your feet.”
Zhulan, “Got it.”
Zhou Shuren curled the corners of his mouth, Zhulan must not have noticed, the two of them got along more and more casually as if they were really married couples. They had lovely chats every night, chatting can really speed up the understanding and bring the relationship closer!
Xuehan couldn’t be bothered to roll her eyes anymore. Dad wouldn’t see her, so she could only reach out and let the elder brother hug her down.
Boss Zhou pinched his younger sister’s bulging cheeks. He was also very sad, feeling that the three of them were superfluous.
Zhulan took two steps and turned around and said, “Boss, don’t forget to bring your things.”
Boss Zhou, “…”
Thank you, Mother, for not forgetting him!
Zhulan continued to walk into the yard. The Yang family was one of the largest and most prosperous big families in Sunjia Village, with a bright green brick house, and there were green brick paths in the yard. No one in Sunjia Village was envious of the Yang family as they knew they worked hard to earn their money.
When Yang Sun heard the girl’s movement, she rushed out to greet her, “I said that magpies kept calling in the morning. It turned out that the girl was back. Come in and warm up.”
Zhulan’s hand was being held for a while, and she felt uncomfortable for a while. In modern times, she was not close to her mother, and she was used to being independent since she was a child. Suddenly being held and asked for her well-being made her feel a little flustered.
Yang Sun held her daughter’s warm hand, and tears fell, “Wu Chun said that you are much better, I still don’t believe it, and only after I confirmed with Changli that I was more at ease and my worries were gone. Now that I see you, I can believe you are well.”
Don’t worry about the white-haired person sending the black-haired person; she can finally get a good night’s sleep.
Zhulan’s heart was sour, she envied the original owner a little, “Mother, don’t cry, I’m going to lose gold.”
Yang Sun touched her tears, “Okay, okay, don’t cry, don’t cry, I won’t cry now that my daughter is healed.”
Yang Zhou jokingly said, “Mother-in-law, look at mèifu (2) looking over here, this is what I’m thinking about. If you make mèizi (3) cry, mèifu should feel distressed.”
Zhulan, “…”
She has to believe everything her dasao (4) said with her mouth open!
