pastoral fragrance

Chapter 277
The riverside is no longer under the scorching sun like in the past. The willow trees and banyan trees planted in the past few years have grown luxuriantly.On the contrary, enjoying the shade under the big tree, with both hands and feet soaked in the cold river water, I feel very comfortable and comfortable.

Without the scorching sun, everyone seemed to be relieved of their worries. They chatted lively and gossip about Xu Nanyun's family's housework, and everyone yelled with enthusiasm, as if they didn't want to move.

"If you want me to say, then Xu Nanyun is really useless! I can't live hard to earn a family business, but sell my daughter in this crooked way. People want face and tree want skin. I think their family is shameless! Today I heard that The daughter of the Xu family wants to sever ties with Xu Nanyun and the others, too, such femme-hearted parents, don't mind!" A woman in a gray gown shook her head while rubbing her clothes, sighing deeply for the girl Qiuhuai, What a shame to have such heartless parents at the booth!
"The girl was at home before, and Fang still regarded her as a treasure. It's a pity that after her brother was born, the girl had to stand aside. In the end, it was caused by patriarchy. Ordinary people are somewhat patriarchal. It’s just that the deviation is too big, and it’s really cruel to sell your daughter for the sake of getting a son.” The person who spoke was Xu Nanyun’s neighbor, and Fang’s voice was often heard shouting on weekdays. The voice of the outsider also knows more about the inside story than outsiders.

At this moment, someone sneered and said disdainfully: "I have a son when I am old, but I don't know whose seed it is! How can this Fang family be safe? I'm afraid Xu Nanyun will lose sesame seeds by then If you lose the watermelon, in the end, everything will be for naught!" The Fang family is not a safe person, and it is unknown whether the baby is Xu Nanyun's seed.If this is really someone else's seed, Xu Nanyun will suffer a big loss.Not only helping others to raise their son, but now selling his own daughter for this son!Thinking about the dirty things of Xu Nanyun's family, I feel very cold!
"It's his own business how people make troubles. We can still make irresponsible remarks? You don't have any clothes that have been washed, but I'm going to leave. I have to cook when I get home, otherwise the child's father will work. What are you going to eat when you come back?" A woman who moved more sloppily put the washed clothes into the wooden basin, hurriedly served them and was about to go back.

At this time, everyone looked at the sun that had already climbed up to the top of their heads at the same time, and then put the clothes in the water three times, two times and five times, soaked their hands, wrung out the water, and took a basin full of clothes, hurriedly. He left the river in a hurry and went up to the ridge.The sun is already at the top of the head, and it is getting late, so I have to go home and cook.

It is said that Xu Nanyun washed the clothes, and took the wooden basin back to the yard to dry the clothes.I went to the stove and drank some cold water, stayed for a while and started cooking.Xu Nanyun was always a little absent-minded when doing things today. Since he couldn't see the sedan chair, he couldn't tell whether it was sad or something, but he felt empty, as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

He finished the lunch like a thoughtless walking dead, and after a smell of food wafted from the stove, he woke up as if he had just woken up, and went to ask Fang to eat.

He just felt that the courtyard was very quiet today, he couldn't hear Fang's voice of cursing and cursing, and couldn't hear the naughty and naughty words of his youngest son Qiu Yang... Xu Nanyun seemed to be suddenly alert, and rushed straight to the east wing like an arrow!

I saw people rummaging through boxes and cabinets in this room. All the rags and clothes in the cabinet were emptied out. The bed and the floor were in a mess. This mess showed that the room was rummaged hard.Xu Nanyun's eyes twitched and his eyebrows were raised high.Could it be that there was a thief in the house, how could this happen?
He quickly leaned forward, opened the pile of torn cotton wool and old clothes, and soon saw the big wooden cabinet that Fang's usually used to lock money.Now the cabinet was opened, and the key and lock were thrown aside.Xu Nanyun seemed to have sensed something in his heart, and rushed forward to dig around in the cabinet.

Looking back and forth, Xu Nanyun finally only found five or six copper plates in the cabinet!You must know that the dowry from Wang Ju's family was managed by the Fang family before, and it was locked in this cabinet with a total of 30 taels of silver!But now, there are only a few broken copper plates left!
Xu Nanyun was greatly shocked, and sat down on the ground with a "slap" sound.Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but they just passed away, and he couldn't catch them.This money is reserved for Qiu Yang's intercourse in the future, and now there is only so little left, Fang's return will definitely make a big fuss in order to get married.

Xu Nanyun still didn't give up, he rummaged around in the east wing room, and finally found a few scattered copper plates under the bed, but he didn't even see the silver coins!After learning that the house had been stolen by a thief, Xu Nanyun was greatly shocked. He sat on the pile of old clothes with tattered cotton wool, his expression dull and frustrated.

This money was used to give the youngest son Shushu, and now that the money is gone, and the family is so poor that they can’t even afford rice, what should I give him for Shushu?After Fang found out, would she take Qiu Yang back to her mother's house in a fit of anger, and never come back after that?
Xu Nanyun sat in the east wing like this, his pupils were slack and out of focus, he hugged his knees stupidly, his face was blank, like a fool, he didn't know what he was thinking.It wasn't until the sun was setting that his unbearably hungry stomach let out a "gurgling" protest, and he woke up like a dream, and looked up at the red sky outside the window.

He got up from the ground in a daze, almost unable to stand due to the long period of inactivity of his legs and feet.Limping out of the east wing, the room was deserted and no one had ever entered.The few chickens and ducks in the yard were so hungry that they jumped up and down to grab the bugs on the ground.Xu Nanyun's expression froze for a moment, and now he finally felt something was wrong!

It's almost sunset, why hasn't Fang come back yet?Also, the money cabinet in the east wing was clearly opened with a key!The key and lock were thrown aside!
A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, causing Xu Nanyun to panic for no reason.Nervously, he turned back to the east wing, pushed aside the pile of rags and clothes and took a closer look, his eyes staring in terror and fear without blinking.As if you could miss something in the blink of an eye!
Reluctantly peeling off the pile of clothes three times, Xu Nanyun shrank his hands, kicked his legs, and stared at the mess in front of him in despair.Fang's favorite clothes are all gone, and Qiu Yang's clothes are also gone, only a few pieces of diapers are left among them!
The sun has set, but Fang Shi and Qiu Yang have not returned home; the money locker has been opened by a key; there are few pieces of Fang Shi and Qiu Yang's clothes in the pile of tattered clothes... This series of events converges. Together, a terrifying thought emerged from Xu Nanyun's heart!That is Fang's own guarding and stealing!

The more Xu Nanyun thought about it, the more he realized that was the case!An uncomfortable and aggrieved anger suddenly surged.He hopped out of the East Wing, ignoring his hungry belly, and hurriedly headed to Wang Er's house to rent a carriage and go to Fang's mother's house!
Where could this Fang family go with the money, she must have returned to her own natal family!Xu Nanyun went to Wang Er's house with a fierce expression and an extremely cold expression, and met the first few women in the village along the way.When those women saw Xu Nanyun, they wanted to tell each other, but seeing Xu Nanyun's expression that strangers should not approach him, those women dared not speak up for fear of harming the fish in the pond, so they walked away in desperation.

As soon as Xu Nanyun arrived at Wang Er's house, Wang Er, who was in his forties with a shrewd face, kicked him out, looked Xu Nanyun up and down, and complained to him, regardless of the evil look on Xu Nanyun's face: "Oh, my brother! , you are finally here. Return the bullock cart that your family rented to me quickly. I rented it in the morning, why don’t you return it at sunset or dusk?”

Xu Nanyun was puzzled by what Wang Er said to Monk Zhang Er, "When did I rent a car with you, don't talk about it to me, I'm here to rent a car right now!"

Seeing Xu Nanyun's serious face, Wang Er was so angry that he obviously refused to admit it.His complexion changed suddenly, and he cursed angrily: "Brother, it's not what you do to be a man. Your daughter-in-law came to rent a car with me early this morning, saying that she was going to see your daughter who is married to Master Juren! Be a man! Be kind, how can you deny it like this? We are all from the same village, and we can't see you up and down, so you can't cheat your old brother and me like this!"

After Xu Nanyun heard this, he suddenly realized that the Fang family rented a bullock cart from Wang Er!Xu Nanyun was furious, his eyes were about to split, he grabbed Wang Er, and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, that woman rented a bullock cart from you, where did she go, where did she go? Tell me quickly!"

The moment Wang Er was grabbed by Xu Nanyun, he trembled with fright, thinking that he would hit him.After hearing Xu Nanyun's words clearly, he knew that Xu Nanyun just wanted to know Fang's whereabouts, not to beat him up, so Wang Er calmed down somewhat.He pushed and shoved to break free from Xu Nanyun's bondage, but he had no choice but to stop struggling, rolled his eyes, and said impatiently: "How do I know, that's your mother-in-law, not mine. ! Let me go and I'll tell you!"

Xu Nanyun threw away the pampered Wang Eryi, and stood in front of Wang Er with a big body, as if if he dared not tell the truth, he would pinch him up again, and then throw him out like a bag!
