Zhang Jiulin pursed his lips and smiled: "Without this official authority, the people in the gambling house will sell you 30 taels less face? Having an official backing can do more than this, as Miss Wang will know in the future."

Wang Shu said with a faceless smile: "That's true, Yuan Zheng will come after a while. I'll ask him to find you in the bamboo forest."

I cursed in my heart: This person will die if he doesn’t do it.

Zhang Jiulin bowed to her and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Wang."

Seeing that she was submissive on the face, but dissatisfied in her heart, the corner of her mouth curled up in a dark arc.

When Shen Que came back with Er Lang and the others, Shen Que left. Wang Shuyan asked Er Lang to look at the medicine and took Yuan Zheng to the bamboo forest to give it to Zhang Jiulin.

When Yuan Zheng saw Zhang Jiulin, he greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Lin."

Zhang Jiulin saw that his face was radiant and his complexion was getting better. He finally felt relieved and left him here. It was indeed a reliable business. The 100 taels of business was not a loss.

"How good are the Wang family to you?" Zhang Jiulin asked softly when he saw that Wang Shuyan had walked away.

Yuan Zheng nodded vigorously: "They all treat me very well."

Zhang Jiulin asked again: "Including that Sister Wang?"

Yuan Zheng nodded heavily: "Sister Wang seems to be difficult to get along with, but in fact she is the most patient. She never drops the medicine you brought, Uncle Lin."

Zhang Jiulin asked him to take off his clothes and look at the whip wounds on his body. He saw that the old wounds were indeed healed, the new ones were added, and the original knife wound on his calf was also healed. He finally believed Yuan Zheng's words.

Wen smiled and said, "That's good. When I finish my work, I will send you to your uncle's house."

Yuan Zheng's face stiffened and he asked, "Can't I stay in the Wang family forever?"

……

The night is as cold as water, ugly time (one to three o'clock in the middle of the night).

Mrs. Zhang woke up in the middle of the night after being fed two bowls of soup. She looked at her daughter lying on one side, and then at the other end of the room where she was squeezed by Erlang and Sanlang who were sleeping soundly. Mrs. Zhang burst out laughing, feeling that she was... Awakened by heat.

The bed was a combination of mother and daughter's original beds. Although it was not particularly big, it was not crowded for her thin body to sleep with her two children for the time being.

It turned out that Yuan Zheng occupied the small bed where two men and three men slept together, while Wang Shuyan slept on the bed in the innermost cubicle. This was made by Old Lei Gong using ready-made wooden boards when building the bamboo house. .

"Auntie, are you awake? Do you want some water?" Someone called her gently.

Mrs. Zhang was startled and found that it was Xiao Yuanzheng, standing upright in front of the collapse and asking her worriedly.

This child must have never slept, and the black spots under his eyes can be seen even under the candlelight.
When Wang Shuyan heard Yuan Zheng's voice, her alert instinct made her wake up immediately. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was awake, she hurriedly asked, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mrs. Zhang sat up, shook her head and asked Xiao Yuanzheng, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

Xiao Yuan was standing by the candlelight, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Wang Shuyan looked sideways at him and asked, "Are you keeping watch to see me sleeping?"

Xiao Yuanzheng nodded cautiously: "I thought that if Auntie wakes up and wants to drink water, I can do it in time."

Zhang's heart warmed up when she heard this, and she said with a smile, "I'm really thirsty."

When Xiao Yuanzheng heard this, he immediately poured a glass of water and offered it quickly: "Auntie, please drink."

Wang Shuyan reached out to take the cup, only to find that it was warm, and handed it to Zhang.

Zhang drank it all in one gulp: "Azheng is so considerate, this water is still warm."

Xiao Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly and stood at a loss again.

Wang Shuyan felt that the child was too reserved, so she patted him on the shoulder and said warmly: "Go to bed. It's time for the child to grow, and I'm here."

Xiao Yuanzheng said, "Sister Wang, you should go and have a rest. You must be exhausted today. I am a man, so it doesn't matter." Mrs. Zhang felt that Xiao Yuanzheng was sensible and obedient, and she liked it when she saw it, so she smiled and said: "Let's all sleep. Yan'er comes up too. We can still sleep in this bed if we squeeze it together."

Wang Shuyan saw that Mrs. Zhang's expression was as usual and she no longer had the gaffe she had during the day, so she obeyed: "Okay, but you'd better drag my bed over and close it, otherwise I will fall off."

Xiao Yuan was about to help, but Wang Shuyan did not refuse. After the three beds were combined, she lay down and stretched her muscles and said: "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep." Then she yawned and said to Xiao Yuan: "The kids want to Be obedient and go to sleep quickly.”

Xiao Yuanzheng saw Sister Wang also climbing up the cave, so he walked around to another small cave to rest, but he remained awake at all times.

The bamboo house fell into silence again.

Mrs. Zhang stared blankly at the afterimages of the candles flickering on the bamboo wall, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"

Wang Shuyan thought about it and said, "Brother Zhao sent him to the government."

Recalling what Zhao Qian said when he came back, he added: "Brother Zhao said that he chose eight years in prison. Maybe he was afraid that he would be beaten to death with an eighty-year plan."

Mrs. Zhang laughed: "No, he feels shameless to see his parents-in-law."

Seeing that she spoke calmly, Wang Shuyan said, "Mom, you are free now. The 'Yi Jue' documents will be delivered in three days."

Zhang nodded absently: "I know, but why can't mother be happy?"

Wang Shuyan did not answer immediately, but patted Zhang's body gently: "Because you are experiencing rebirth, just like a newborn baby crying and falling to the ground. Others are happy for it, but the baby only has fear of the unknown, but the older he grows, the more he The less afraid I am!

Mom, everyone has different fates for living in this world. Just like we are together now, when Erlang and Sanlang become adults and want to make achievements, they will leave us for different reasons.

You see, Azheng is obviously not our blood relative, but he has to live in our house now, but it is uncertain how long he can stay.

Even if you and Wang Fu are husband and wife, no matter how much love, resentment and hatred there is in the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years, this relationship must be ended when it is time to end it. It seems that there is no way out, but maybe there is a bright future in another village. , we look forward to everything, it’s better to look back, right? "

There were tears in the corners of Zhang's eyes, her thoughts drifting away: "Yes, you are right, Wang Fu is already my mother's past, and I should no longer be resentful. No matter how bad he is, he gave me three sensible and filial children. If I can still be grateful to him, and that’s all I have left. From now on, I might as well let two and three horses plow the fields. If they are too far away from me, my mother will be very sad.”

Wang Shuyan felt that Zhang suddenly looked like a child: "Mom, how old are they? Do you think so far? Er Liang is seven years old this year, and San Liang is five years old. Now is the time to learn how to read."

Ms. Zhang nodded sharply: "Yes, yes, yes, oh, mother is confused, why would you want them to plow the land?" She stretched out her hand to touch Wang Shuyan's green hair, and said softly: "Yan'er, why don't you get married? My mother will support you forever."

What?Wang Shuyan burst into laughter immediately, feeling that Mrs. Zhang was like a cute and naive big white bear, strong and fragile as a mother, and she felt warm and sour in her heart.

Wang Shuyan: "Mom, I don't have to marry, but your daughter has many abilities, so I don't need you to support me for the time being."

Mrs. Zhang: "Then I have the skills. After the house is built, I will definitely learn from Aunt Su to grow vegetables and grain. We are the only ones in Fangzikou Village who buy vegetables and grain every day. We really can't make a living."

The conversation between the mother and daughter became more and more heated, and Zhang's depression unknowingly disappeared.

Erlang and Sanlang had woken up early and immediately joined the conversation after hearing Zhang's words.

Erlang: "Mom, I will plow the land if you ask me to do so. I will definitely respect you when I grow up."

Sanyang: "Mom, I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future to honor you."

Before Zhang could speak, Xiao Yuanzheng on the other side suddenly said: "Aunt... I... I will also respect you when I grow up."

Zhang's originally empty heart was filled instantly, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked with sobs and deliberately teased Xiao Yuanzheng: "Azheng, you have to leave sooner or later, how can you honor your aunt?"

Wang Shuyan raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuanzheng, smiling and echoing: "Yes, you must have forgotten Fangzikou Village and us as soon as you left. You are a little liar."

Xiao Yuan was anxious: "I won't... Anyway, I will definitely honor my aunt and sister."

Mrs. Zhang chuckled, and the others couldn't help laughing, but Yuan Zheng was the only one who was anxious.

Mrs. Zhang smiled extremely brightly: "Okay, Auntie, I'll take note of it."

Wang Shuyan yawned and said angrily: "Go to sleep, I'm so sleepy." (End of Chapter)
