Zhengzhuang is the general name of four Zheng villages, divided into Shangzheng Village, Xiazheng Village, Qianzheng Village and Houzheng Village. Shangzheng Village is closest to Lijia Village. The two villages are connected in one place. The fields closest to rows of poplar trees as the dividing line.

Compared with the other three villages, Shangzheng Village does not have a geographical advantage, with fewer paddy fields and more dry land, and even less water sources relying on crops to survive. Most of the villagers have difficult life. Of course, even the poorest villages have one or two families who live a good life.

For example, the old man Zheng’s family at the end of the village has lived a better life since they returned home from the death of Zheng Lin, the eldest son of his father who joined the army, and they are no worse than those of the wealthy families in the town.

That evening, after finishing farm work in the ground, the villagers carried a hoe to go home. They saw a carriage heading towards the direction from afar. They couldn't help but stop and guess where the carriage came from.

When the carriage approached, the villagers finally saw clearly that the person sitting in the carriage turned out to be the most promising eldest son of Old Man Zheng’s family!

Through the hidden car window, the villagers clearly saw the rice, flour and cloth piled up inside. Someone asked enviously: "Ringzi, you have not been at home for the past or two months, where have you been making money again?"

The sound of the rafters is the same as Lin. The villagers have never studied and don’t know which Lin it is, but they know the rafters used to build a house, just think that Zheng Lin’s rafters next to the wood.

It was the name Lin, which was chosen by Zheng Lin when he was appointed as a disciple by his master. He had no name at all before he was sent to the Taoist temple.

Zheng Lin held the carriage firmly and bowed to the man and said humbly: "Back to Uncle Thirteen, this time I just went to the south to help my friend do something, and there is no need to be a fortune."

The villager, who was called Uncle Thirteen, just smiled, but didn't ask any questions, waved his hand and said, "Go home quickly, your mother is still talking about you!"

Something flashed in Zheng Lin's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, I'll go back now and invite Uncle Thirteen to have a drink another day."

Uncle Thirteen only thought Zheng Lin was polite and couldn't help laughing: "Then Uncle Thirteen is waiting for your good wine."

Zheng Lin nodded to Uncle Thirteen. The next moment, he took out a handful of candy from somewhere. He leaned over and stuffed it into Uncle Thirteen's hand without saying a word: "This is a little food brought back from the south. Uncle Thirteen took it back to give it to the little Nannan to taste it."

After saying that, without waiting for Uncle Thirteen to refuse, he waved his whip and drove the horse to the village.

Until the carriage left, Uncle Thirteen's son quickly grabbed a candy from his father's hand, peeled the outermost candy paper and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly, a sweet and sour smell spread in his mouth, which was much better than the maltose and peanut candy I had eaten before.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know what Jingzi is doing. Every time I come back, I don't have empty hands. They are all good things that we can't eat or use on weekdays."

The boy didn't know that the good things in his eyes were given to Zheng Lin by others. Zheng Lin couldn't refuse and had to borrow a carriage and pulled them back.

Uncle Thirteen expressed his deep agreement, but scolded him: "Ringzi is bigger than you, it is your cousin who has not yet been out of the fifth squad. Let me hear that you are so big and small, so I will slap you carefully."

The fifteen-year-old boy curled his lips indifferently, and his cheek was supported by candy and said vaguely: "I didn't shout in front of him, what's the matter?"

Uncle Thirteen shook his head and unconsciously compared his stupid son with Zheng Lin in his heart. After carefully comparing inside and out, he had to admit that his stupid son could not be compared with others. Could it be that he was spoiled by him and his wife around him?

However, even in order to make his son become a talent, he is reluctant to throw people into the Taoist temple. He practices with a Taoist who never goes down the mountain all year round.

Thinking of this, Uncle Thirteen's envy of Old Man Zheng suddenly faded a lot. No matter how promising his son is, he is still disheartened. How could this kind of love be so easy to repair?

Zheng Lin, who had already walked away, didn't know what the father and son were talking. He looked at his home standing alone at the end of the village road, and there was no trace of joy in returning home on his face.

For him, that home is with him on the way south temporarily

There seems to be no difference in the inn we are temporarily staying in.

The carriage drove slowly, getting closer and closer to the Zheng family, attracting many people's attention along the way. Those people greeted Zheng Lin very enthusiastically, and their eyes showed the same envy as Uncle Thirteen.

Zheng Lin also responded politely to the villagers, and it took half of the time that was not long before.

Until the carriage stopped in front of the Zheng family courtyard, Zheng Lin jumped out of the carriage and tied the horse to the big tree in front of the door. But before he could remove the things from the carriage, he heard his younger brother and sister Ma's loud voice through the open courtyard gate:

"Hey, brother and sister, I just went to the vegetable garden to water it. I heard Sister Zeng talk about something big. Do you want to listen?"

The Zheng family has three sons. Zheng Lin is the eldest, and the second is Zheng Shanqing, who is two years younger than Zheng Lin. He married the wife Ma from Majia Village. The third is Zheng Shuqing, who is twenty-one this year. He married the daughter Niu, the daughter of Lao Tong from Niutou Village next door the year before.

The person who can be called "legs and sisters" by Ma is naturally the Niu family. Niu family was attracted by the "big thing" mentioned by Ma, and asked according to Ma's words: "Second sister-in-law, don't keep it a secret, tell me what the big thing is!"

Ma did not continue to hang Niu, and said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "Sister-in-law Zeng said that there were three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Lijia Village next door, smashing a widow's house! The widow sued the village chief, but the village chief actually drove the widow out and asked her to find a way to seek justice. Oh, this is really unreasonable. A group of people gathered together to bully a widow."

"Ah, there is such a thing?" Niu exclaimed and said incredibly: "No, right? Even widows are bullied. How could there be such a vicious person? No one cares about it?"

"Hmph, it's hard for a clean official to make up for family affairs. Who would care about such unhealthy things?" Ma rolled his eyes and looked down on the weak Niu.

Niu ignored Ma's disdain and asked in confusion: "There should be a reason to hit people. Isn't Lijia Village a solid piece of law? Why is even the village chief unwilling to be fair this time?"

This question was asked at the point. Ma Shi said proudly: "I heard from Sister Zeng that she was beaten to be an old widow. She seemed to have said bad things about another little widow. The little widow's mother was unhappy and took her two daughters-in-law to the door with kitchen knives. Not only did she smash the old widow's house, but she also beat her to the point of bruising and swollen face. Others didn't even dare to pull the squad."

This chapter has been revised repeatedly, so it will not seem tedious and cumbersome to write this way. I don’t want to write about it anymore, that widow Li is so sloppy, I don’t want to write about her anymore o(╯□╰)o
