Exile at the beginning: I rule the world by drawing cards

Chapter 35 Fighting again

I sold nearly [-] coins this morning, and a rabbit at home also gave birth. Double happiness, which is a good sign.

Qin Mengshang forgot about the extra money in the box and carried the meat into the kitchen.Be extravagant at noon and make pork belly stew with beans.

The two little guys guarding the door immediately followed the piece of meat when they saw it. They eagerly stood by the stove, hoping that a piece of meat would fall from it.

Qin Mengshang was busy here when someone suddenly shouted from outside. It sounded urgent, so she took the iron spoon and went out.

Mrs. Ji ran over in a hurry and called her: "Meng Niang, something big has happened! Come with me quickly to have a look."

"What happened?"

"Oh! I can't tell. Just follow me and have a look!" Ji was really anxious and wanted to pull her out immediately.

Qin Mengshang took off his apron and handed the iron spoon to Zhou Lingqi: "There is food stewed in the pot. Keep an eye on it while I go out."

Zhou Lingqi, who was chopping firewood in the yard: "Oh."

Qin Mengshang hurried out with Mrs. Ji. He heard what she said on the way and found out that Mrs. Xu and Widow Zhang were fighting again.

"This is not the first time they have fought. Why is sister-in-law in such a hurry?"

"This time is different," Mrs. Ji sighed deeply, "Have you heard about the suspension of work on the river embankment? Li Zhang fell asleep at his father-in-law's house yesterday. Who would have thought that he would be taken away by the government and taken to the county in the middle of the night? Yamen, this matter not only involves money, but also human lives!"

Qin Mengshang raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his mind.

As soon as the two arrived in the village, they heard Mrs. Xu yelling curses from a distance.

Mrs. Xu sat on Widow Zhang, raised her hand and slapped her: "Shameless bitch! My man usually gives you a lot of money, but it would be better for you to turn around and sell him!"

Widow Zhang has spent all her money on her face over the years, and her skin is fairer and tenderer than the women in the village.Xu's cheek instantly became red and swollen when she slapped him away.

She was not as strong as Xu, and was suppressed tightly. Only her mouth could move: "Li Zhang took someone's life. It has nothing to do with me if the county magistrate wants to arrest him!"

This sentence struck a chord in Xu's mind. He pulled her hair, raised his hand and slapped her again: "Not one of your two mouths is clean! I hope I don't tear your mouth apart today!"

The battle was fierce, and some people wanted to pull them away, but they were afraid of accidentally hurting themselves. However, Li Zheng was not in the village at this time, so he had to invite Mrs. Chen over.

Ji looked at this scene and shook her head: "Widow Zhang hasn't come back these days. It wasn't until this morning that someone saw her sneaking into her yard carrying a baggage. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came back, Mrs. Xu came to the door again. ”

Qin Mengshang: "Listen to what Mrs. Xu said, Li Zhang's arrest is related to Widow Zhang?"

Ji's eyelids twitched and she whispered: "You may have gone out early in the morning and didn't know that someone from the government came today and said that the person who harmed Chen Ergou was caught, that is Li Zhang! I heard that it was Widow Zhang who testified, but I don't know. Where did Mr. Xu get wind of the news, wouldn’t this cause a commotion?”

Ji also remembered seeing Chen Ergou on the river embankment that day. When she heard about it, she hurriedly called Qin Mengshang over.

Qin Mengshang had made speculations before, but now he was not surprised when he heard the news.

Old Mrs. Chen had been invited here. When she saw the two people struggling together, her face darkened: "Hurry up and pull them apart!"

Several big-bodied and round-waisted women immediately stepped forward to start a fight.

Widow Zhang's hair was pulled by Mrs. Xu. When she struggled, she felt that her scalp was about to be pulled off: "Xu Cuifang, it's useless even if you drag me to the county office today! Li Zhang killed Chen Ergou and it was personally interrogated by the Inspection Department." Yes, even your father will also go to jail!"

"What did you say!"

Mrs. Xu became angry and wanted to slap Widow Zhang, but before the slap could fall, she was pulled away.Mrs. Chen said with a cold face: "This matter is decided by the government. Why are you making trouble in the village? If you can, go and pull the county magistrate's hair and ask him to let your man and father go!"

The old lady's words still touched people's hearts as always, Qin Mengshang thought to himself.

Xu fell to the ground and couldn't say a word. She just covered her face and cried loudly.

Mrs. Ji had long disliked Mrs. Xu, but she had endured it for so long because she had a father who was a head catcher.

Not only her, but also the people in the village did not like to see Li Zhang and his wife.Now that the Xu family has been implicated in the Hedi corruption case, although everyone has not been hurt, they are all thankful that these two scourges have finally been eliminated.

Ms. Xu sat on the ground and cried for a long time. Seeing that no one came to help her, she couldn't help but limped back home, packed her bags and left Sanjiang Village crying.

Although Widow Zhang was defeated in this battle, she lost nothing. Instead, she showed her face in front of the county magistrate because she took the initiative to expose Li Zhang's crimes.

This time, she won.

Widow Zhang raised the corners of her lips proudly, turned her head and saw Qin Mengshang was there, her smile instantly fell, she rolled her eyes and closed the door with a bang.

Qin Mengshang was talking to Mr. Ji when he heard the loud noise and felt puzzled.

"She will be relieved as soon as Mrs. Xu leaves!" Mrs. Ji snorted angrily and pulled Qin Mengshang away, "Don't pay attention to her, let's go."

Qin Mengshang didn't care about these trivial matters, making money was the most important thing.

This morning I almost finished the konjac tofu I made earlier. At the end of the sale, many people came to ask.

Last time, she cut off the konjac bud and planted it in a pot, but now it has just sprouted out. She has to go to the mountain to look for konjac again.

I have a plan in my mind and start dinner when I get home.

Zhou Lingqi also looked at the meat in the pot carefully. Qin Mengshang opened the lid and saw that the pork belly was stewed softly, and the aroma filled the room.

Jinbao was beside him with greed, while Yuanbao was well-behaved, but he also loved meat.Qin Mengshang generously stuffed each of the two little ones with a piece of meat.After tasting the meat, the two little guys were very satisfied.

Zhou Lingqi didn't ask what happened in the village and sat quietly at the table to eat.

Although this person is thin and cannot eat much, he can actually hold more food than a rice bucket.If it weren't for the etiquette etiquette engraved in his bones that didn't allow him to pick up the rice with a bowl, Qin Mengshang would probably have to hold the plate to eat.

After lunch, I had no free time in the afternoon.

Qin Mengshang took his things and went to the mountains to look for konjac. Zhou Lingqi, who was probably really free, also went with him.

It turned out that I was really lucky. I went around the place where I dug konjac last time and found another konjac tree.Once you dig up the konjac, you can cook it. There is free labor at home and you don’t need to ask for help from others.

Zhou Lingqi was busy under the command of Qin Mengshang. After witnessing the making process of konjac tofu with his own eyes, he couldn't help but wonder: "Where did you learn this recipe?"

When Qin Mengshang told the lie, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat: "I heard what my grandma at home said, so I wrote it down. I didn't expect it to be true."

There are so many maids and servants in the Qin family, you can just pick one and make it up.What's more, it's a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Fengjing, so there's no way to check it.

As expected, Zhou Lingqi didn't ask any more questions and went into the kitchen to light the fire.
