Chapter 243 Useful News

Li Zhong didn't come back that night, so Li Wanfei came home to help bring a message, saying that he had gone to the county to deal with matters.It was also said that Zhang Xing was confirmed by the doctor of Dejitang to have smoked Xiangguzi and had been fined to build roads.

Yan Dashan and others were fined to build roads for two years, and there was hope, but Zhang Xing was miserable. Liangyan had regulations, smoking elephant millet and serving hard labor for a lifetime.But it's what he deserved, whoever told him to live a good life, but to seek that unnecessary excitement, he deserved it!
After hearing this, Cheng Xue nodded and said:
"Thank you, sit down and drink a glass of water."

Li Wanfei shook his head and declined politely:
"No, the family is still waiting for me to go back to eat, so I'm leaving now. The people we followed all got rice, thanks... no, I... um..."

Seeing him embarrassed, Cheng Xue waved her hand and said:
"Obtaining rice is a good thing. If you meet anyone who smokes elephant millet in the future, it should be like today. I won't keep you here, go back to eat. If you are not busy recently, and the storehouse in the west of the village is short of people, do you have time?"

"Yes, yes, I can go. Shall I go directly tomorrow?"

Seeing his expectant eyes, Cheng Xue nodded.

"Chen is going to work, go directly to Ma Kuo, the wages will be counted tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, thank you so much." Li Wanfei couldn't help but happily left.

Cheng Xue had long seen that he wanted to work in the workshop, and wanted to find a chance to mention it to him, but today was a coincidence.Although Li Wanfei didn't have much contact with this person, in his memory, besides farming, he was working, or he was on the way to find a job to make money.

Shoujia gets a job in the local area, and he thinks he will cherish it.

I thought that Li Zhong would come back the next day, but I waited and waited until the sun set, and Li Zhong was nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Xue was a little anxious, but Yuniang was very calm, and comforted in a soft voice:

"Ma'am, don't panic. Maybe something happened in the county and he was delayed. He has the key over there, and there is food in the house, so he won't be hungry."

"It's true to say so, but... well, as the saying goes, 'The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to deal with', County Magistrate Pan didn't say that, the difficulty lies in the people under his control." Cheng Xue squeezed her eyes tightly. The corner of the mouth is sad.

The time she adopted Yan Yixin, she had a clear view of the faces of the magistrate, pawns and others.And the last time I accompanied Mrs. Zhang and the other widows to receive pension money, I still feel itchy thinking about it now.

If Li Zhong can't see Pan Yongzhang, and is made things difficult by those donkeys, turtles, shrimps and crabs...

"Don't worry ma'am, I'm not a servant boasting. Li Zhong is very smart and knows how to act according to people's facial expressions."

"I know, I'm just... hey, no, you should be more anxious than me, why did you comfort me instead!" Cheng Xue shook her head with a smile and sighed.

Yuniang didn't think so, poured her a cup of sour plum soup, and said:
"Madam is so worried about Li Zhong, it's our husband and wife's blessing. I guess he will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If he doesn't come back, he will try to get someone to deliver a letter to his family. This has happened before, so don't worry."

Husband and wife for many years, this tacit understanding is still there.

Seeing this, Cheng Xue stopped thinking about it, drank sour plum soup to relieve summer heat, washed up and went to sleep.

Another two days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news from Li Zhong. This time, not only Cheng Xue was anxious, but Yuniang was also a little anxious.But she knew in her heart that she couldn't show it, otherwise the master would be even more worried.

This day, Cheng Xue went to the forest farm to find Yu Zhao after seeing the workshops on both sides, and asked him to help him go to the county to find out.

Although Yuniang seemed to be fine, she couldn't pretend that she was in a bad state, and she was also anxious.

Yu Zhao went out for two days, and finally brought back two useful pieces of news on the afternoon of the third day.

One is Li Hui's second aunt and fifth aunt. During the plague in the village in June 17, both families disappeared, and the entire village disappeared.

The second is Li Hui's fourth uncle, Zhang Xing's father, who died in July of the same year.Zhang Xing, as the eldest son, took charge of the family and sent all the two brothers out.

I think it's because life is going well, and I don't care about the small favors and favors given here.

"...I came back from the county government office and found Mr. Du next door. I heard from him that Li Zhong had told him before he left that he was going to Zhang Xing's house. He must have been caught up in something over there, otherwise he would have come back long ago. Zhangjiatun is only half a day away from Shushan Town."

He knew all six of his cousin's aunts. Although they all married in Pingyang County, they were all from different towns.Only the second and fifth aunts married to the same village, and they were together when the accident happened.

It's easy to know where to go.

Cheng Xue nodded, took a long breath, and said:

"Success, you've been bothered by these two days, you're exhausted. Come over to have dinner with your wife later, and Yingjie is playing with them in the backyard, so I won't let him go."

"It doesn't make sense to help my sister-in-law to eat with such a small matter. Yingjie can leave you here to eat, and the two of us won't come here. I'll go home and wash clothes while I'm free. Let's go first, sister-in-law .”

"Okay, then I won't keep you either, Yuniang will send you off."

Watching the two leave the house, Cheng Xue began to think about going to Zhangjiatun.

If she counted correctly, the 17th year of Yongle was the year she and Li Hui had just crossed over.No wonder the three aunts haven't come to play Qiufeng since they came here. It turned out that something happened.

When Zhang Xing came here this time, he should have ruined his family, so he couldn't do anything else.It's a pity that the current sister-in-law is not the same as before. Not only did his plan fail, but he also got the punishment he deserved.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

"Huh? What?"

"The servant girl asked if you want to eat steamed eggs with bird's nest."

After Yuniang learned of her husband's whereabouts, she was no longer in a hurry, but no matter how she looked at her, she felt that her condition was not right. Why?

"What are you thinking, madam, so engrossed?"

"I didn't think about anything." Cheng Xue shook her head, "Steamed eggs with bird's nest, wait a minute, I want to find Master Gong tomorrow, go to Zhangjiatun, let Bai Shao go with me, and you will take care of the house. There are Tangtang and Auntie in the workshop, I'm not worried."

When Yu Niang heard this, she quickly waved her hands in disapproval.

"Madam is very grateful for Li Zhong being so concerned. But Madam really doesn't need to go to Zhangjiatun. He came back after finishing his work. The reason why he didn't come back now is probably because he was caught up in something. Let's wait for two more days. If he doesn't come back in a few days, then we'll trouble Mr. Biao, you can't move."

This is the backbone of the family, how can one go out to find someone just because of a housekeeper, it is absolutely impossible.

After earnestly dissuading her and reminding her of her identity, Cheng Xue looked at Yuniang like this, grabbed her hand, and did not move for a long time.

Now, she really considers herself as the master and has no second thoughts.

"Okay, just listen to you, wait for two more days."

"That servant will make you steamed eggs with bird's nest, you should rest first."

Looking at Yuniang's back, Cheng Xue got up with a smile and went to see the children.

Since they moved to the new house, Li Yue, Li Tian, ​​and Pang Yao lived in their own yards, and Mrs. Ma took care of the daily life and taught them knowledge on weekdays.Li Huai was still young, and he was with Cheng Xue, but he went to play with his sisters during the day, and occasionally slept there...
