When Old Lei Gong heard the mark, he picked up the worn shoes and looked at them for a while. After seeing the mark clearly, his face sank: "Don't worry, Sister Yan, I know what to do." Then he greeted everyone back to the house to do farm work with a cold face. Three days later Come again.

People in the village make their own straw sandals. In order to prevent them from being stolen, each family has its own unique mark. Anyone who picks up the marked shoes will not take them. This is also the rule set by Li Zheng: pick up the sandals without missing them.

Someone picked it up and sent it to the village sect. During the New Year's Day, they would receive the annual gift from the village sect and publicize it to warn the villagers to follow suit. Therefore, there were very few lost items in the village. If they were lost today, they would be found the next day.

Aunt Su found the mark last night. As long as someone listened to Old Thunder and came to look for shoes early the next morning, they would know who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Old Lei Gong was from the village and knew the habits of such people best. After leaving the Wang family, the first thing he did was to fire the two workers who were famous for his wife's gossip, and then waited for his wife to come to the house in person.

As soon as Old Lei Gong and others left, Wang Shuyan hid the two pairs of tattered shoes in the dark again. It was estimated that as soon as the wind came out, people would be anxious to get back the tattered shoes that had been thrown over.

……

When Wang Zhengyi made a fuss, the two families were at war with each other and turned into harmony.

The elders who came here today saw that the Zhang family was getting better as usual, and they all smiled secretly in their hearts. Now they were relieved that they could finally leave today. As soon as Zhang family and Wang Shuyan came to the stove to cook, the elders started Teasing Erlang and Sanlang.

Mrs. Xu touched the cute little face of Erlang: "Erlang has grown taller, and these little tiger teeth look so cute when he smiles."

San Lang, who was held in Zhang Yunmei's arms, hurriedly asked: "Auntie, what about me? Have I grown taller?"

Guan Shi slapped his little butt and scolded him with a smile: "You little kid, you still like to compete with your brother so much."

Luo Shi was chattering boredly on the side. She wanted to blend in but couldn't lose face. After all, she had been embarrassed a lot yesterday. Now she naturally had to protect her face as an elder and be silent and cherish money.

Zhang Yunmei glanced at her several times with disdain and said sarcastically: "Aren't you a good speaker? Why are you mute again today?"

Luo Shi glared at Zhang Yunmei bitterly: "You have to resist me no matter what I say. Now that I don't speak, you still have to speak against me?"

Zhang Yunmei had a look on her face that said, "It's rare for you to be self-aware", but he still responded to her: "It's mainly because you are so disgusting. If I don't respond to you now, I wouldn't be happy, but now I am happy."

He turned around and continued teasing San Lang: "I'll give you a hug. Oh my, my aunt can't hold her anymore."

Luo Shi was furious, stroking her chest to comfort herself: the forbearance was over, just treat Zhang Yunmei as if she was farting, she couldn't be angry, she couldn't be angry.

Wang Shuyan and Madam Zhang were busy working on the stove. Madam Zhang was still crying because the house hadn't been so lively for a long time, and she was happy to hear the goings on inside.

Wang Shuyan comforted her while cooking: "Mom, are you crying with joy?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes... Mom is happy." She looked into the back room and sighed: "Fortunately, your aunt is sensible, it's only 50 taels, our family has no money. "

Wang Shuyan smiled: "If Wang Fu hadn't revealed his brother in Gufeng County himself, I'm afraid they might not have come forward."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, then shook her head: "In the past, your two aunts have always been worried about Wang Li's affairs. Your eldest aunt has taken good care of our family."

Wang Shuyan: "Wang Fu's disgusting uncle has long been annoyed. Don't forget that she was the one who proposed the family separation. She was also the one who arranged for us to stay in Fangzikou Village. She also suggested the fifty acres of wasteland to the uncle. The two couples have been playing bad-faced roles for how many years.

Although 'Yi Jue' doesn't have to associate with them, the blood of the Wang family will always follow you. Wang Fu is notorious, and the aunt loves reputation. For the sake of face, uncle still wants to do it with you because he is a relative on the surface. What's more, we did it yesterday Although she didn't pay for it, her words helped her save 30 taels, and they still remembered it. "

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "I understand."

……

Suddenly so many people came, Wang Shuyan cooked a large pot of rice, fried a large pot of wild vegetables, an egg for each person, and a pot of yam and egg soup, and served it with simple meals.

"It's time to eat."

They were really hungry, and Xu and the others never stopped once they were picking up the food, and there was no sign of disdain for the meager meal on their faces.

Both families were merchants. They usually ate fine rice soup and wore fine silk clothes. They were willing to have a simple meal with the down-and-out Zhang. Zhang was grateful in his heart.

Xu and others knew that they were living in such conditions every day, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Especially Zhang Yunmei, whose eyes couldn't help but turn red, but due to the large number of people, they held it back.

There were ten people at one table, chattering like relatives visiting during the holidays.

After eating, Ms. Xu looked around under the model of the house and sighed repeatedly. She originally arranged this old house because it was in disrepair.

At first, she felt that the third child's life was too easy, and she wanted him to go back to his hometown to work in the fields for a while. Unexpectedly, she and his eldest brother didn't take it seriously. The land was not cultivated, and the houses were not repaired. Now everything has changed. .

Wang Shuyan accompanied Mrs. Xu to see the house under construction. Mrs. Xu suddenly pulled the money bag from her arms and gave it to her, saying in a sincere tone: "Yan'er, since you are in charge now, I will give this money to you."

Wang Shuyan pushed the money back: "No, since my mother has a 'severe' sworn relationship with the king, she cannot accept the money."

Mrs. Xu was anxious, and choked with red eyes: "The fault of 'Yi Jue' is your father's, we are still relatives, you are the blood of the Wang family after all, your father is confused, we are not confused, I arranged this house wrong, We should have arranged for you to come over after it was repaired. This money should be regarded as the money for building a house in the old house. From now on, we will come back every year to worship, so there is a place to go."

The Wang family comes back every year and always lives in Wuli Town. Now the old house and wasteland have become Zhang's dowry and become her private property. If she wants to have a reason to continue to connect, Xu can only pay this money. , can you have an explanation to your husband.

Wang Shuyan saw that she was sincere, so he didn't refuse anymore: "Then I'll thank you, aunt." He put it on his hand, which was at least 50 taels.When Mrs. Xu saw that she accepted it, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "You have a good plan, well-organized, generous and decent. With the money, we can build a better building. Next time we come over, we may stay for a few days." Woolen cloth."

Wang Shuyan never reaches out to hit someone with a smiling face, and echoed: "It's good to be in love. The more relatives move around, the closer they will become."

Mrs. Xu sighed: "You have really changed a lot. In the past, you would only hide behind your mother."

Wang Shuyan thought of his original form and said calmly: "People have to grow up."

……

In the kitchen, Zhang Yunmei helped Mrs. Zhang clean up the dishes and looked at the faucet with a surprised look on her face: "Sister Yan, this is such a wonderful idea. I'll find someone to make one when I get back."

Mrs. Zhang looked unhappy: "Sister, why don't you stay for one day before leaving?"

Zhang Yunmei looked at him angrily: "How can I live here? I live in a model house without tiles?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "Just squeeze it."

Zhang Yunmei shook her head: "Come on, I don't sleep well, lest I kick you out of bed."

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two of them, Zhang Yunmei stuffed a silver bag into her.

Madam Zhang was annoyed: "Sister, no need."

Zhang Yunmei said with a tigerish face: "Why not? You don't need to eat or the child doesn't need to eat? Look at what the child is wearing. The two and three are still growing, and the sleeves are a lot shorter. It's hot now. Okay, but what about winter? This is not for you. This is money for you to buy clothes for your children. Clothes are so expensive now."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs as she took it: "Thank you, sister. I'm really worthless. I'm already a mother and I still need you to take care of me."

Zhang Yunmei wiped away her tears: "How many times can I take care of you when you are married? You have a good daughter. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, you actually dare to go into the mountains and forests to collect medicine to treat people's diseases, you are so courageous ”

Zhang explained: "She has been reading medical books since she was a child because of the birthmark on her face. When her family fell into trouble, it was thanks to this ability."

Zhang Yunmei nodded: "Who says it's not the case? Therefore, people still need to be literate. Although your parents-in-law gave birth to a debt collector who brought trouble to the whole family, your father-in-law's family rule that his children and grandchildren must be literate and study is really good. Erlang and Sanlang are about to become enlightened. I don’t know if there is a school in this poor village.”

Madam Zhang was also thinking about this: "I'll ask Aunt Su later. I'll ask her everything I don't understand."

Zhang Yunmei smiled happily: "You are finally willing to interact with outsiders. I was afraid that you would cry every day when you came here."

Mrs. Zhang said: "When I first came here, there was indeed one."

Zhang Yunmei just thought her sister was silly and cute, and said with disdain: "Idiot, not even half as clever as your daughter."

……

Putting the elders on the carriage, the four Zhangs watched them leave with smiles.

As soon as the carriage was gone, Erlang and Sanlang gave Zhang a small piece of broken silver.

Zhang asked blankly: "Who gave it to me?"

Two and three men said in unison: "My aunt gave it to me."

Wang Shuyan picked up the broken horn in Mrs. Zhang's hand and compared it with the handful of silver coins from Mrs. Xu and Zhang Yunmei. This aunt was really picky.

……

On the carriage, Mrs. Guan was annoyed and anxious: "Why didn't you remind me? I didn't give you anything. This is a good time. It seems like I, the second uncle, am too picky."

Mrs. Xu glanced at her and said coolly: "Aren't you going to do something?"

When she helped Wang Ling pay off his gambling debts, Guan would cry in front of her every day.

Guan: "..." Don't dare to talk back.

Mrs. Xu said angrily: "If you don't want your elders to be compared to others, just send some cloth. Look at their clothes. They are shabby and old. The children are still growing."

Guan Shi nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, I'll have someone take it away later, so don't give it away."

Mrs. Xu: "..." She spent all her money and even gave her a hair ball.

……

Before dawn the next day, someone sneakily appeared at the door of Wang's house, with a worried look on his face, as if he was looking for something important.

Suddenly, someone threw something at her, and the other person asked in a cold voice: "Are you looking for this?" (End of Chapter)
