When Zhang Chengwang woke up, he saw his sister Zhang Xinghua sitting beside his bed crying with eyes like rabbits.
"Brother, you finally woke up." Zhang Xinghua's voice was filled with tears. "Those untouchables dare to beat you like this. You are a scholar. Brother, we can't let them go. We must report them to the official and let them go to jail."
Just food."
However, Zhang Chengwang was not moved at all. He said coldly: "When I was beaten, weren't you watching in the room? You didn't even come out to help me."
It was all in vain to love this sister in the past. If Xinghua rushed out to help him, the villagers would not dare to do anything because she is a girl. Now she pretends to be worried about him, and it doesn't feel hypocritical.
?
Zhang Xinghua's eyes widened, "This is different. Men and women are not intimate with each other. What if they take advantage of me?" She simply couldn't trust the character of these untouchables.
"When you took the initiative to pursue Wu Xiuming, why didn't you think about the issue of men and women being intimate?"
Zhang Xinghua hesitated, "That's different."
At that time, she regarded Wu Xiuming as her future husband, but as a scholar's sister, she could not marry the losers in the village, and of course she could not let them take advantage. She changed the subject, "Brother, let's sue them! We have to let them
They pay lessons."
Zhang Chengwang hopes that this matter will calm down quickly. If it gets bigger, it will be of no benefit to him at all.
He shouted: "Shut up, as you said, I accidentally fell. If you dare to talk nonsense again, come to the door and kneel down for me."
Zhang Xinghua couldn't believe it, she was obviously doing it for her eldest brother's benefit.
Zhang Chengwang thought that the reason why his words spread everywhere was not all because of Xinghua. He gritted his teeth and said: "I have said many times that words from home are not allowed to spread outside, but you always keep my words
It turned a deaf ear and it caused this disaster for me today."
"If I don't discipline you anymore, I'm afraid you will become a ghost and have trouble."
Zhang Xinghua is not the Su Yuewei who worked hard for Zhang Chengwang, so she will not take the blame. She said angrily: "It's none of my business, it's obviously because of you saying the wrong thing, brother."
She heard in the house that the emperor's daughters all wanted to study, but the eldest brother said that a girl could not study.
She said angrily: "You are just venting your anger! If you dare to hit me, I will go to the city and spread all the words you said!"
Zhang Chengwang almost fainted due to her anger again. Zhang Wanli couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Sister, please stop saying a few words. Will you be happy if you say something good or bad to your elder brother?"
Zhang Xinghua also felt a little regretful when she saw Zhang Chengwang's bloodless lips. Only her eldest brother in the family was promising. If something happened to him, she would not be able to get a good marriage in the future.
She rarely said in a low voice: "Brother, it was my fault. Don't argue with me."
Zhang Chengwang didn't want to see her at all, so he said coldly: "Get out of here!"
Zhang Xinghua hurriedly left the house and almost bumped into Su Yuewei, who was coming over with a medicine bowl.
Su Yuewei held the hot medicinal soup and said softly: "Cheng Wang, drink the medicinal soup and your body will get better soon."
When Zhang Chengwang was in a coma, she left Zhang Xinghua and went to the city under the pretext of buying medicine. After Su Yuewei went to the doctor to prescribe medicine, she also spent money to buy a lot of Tripterygium wilfordii.
She had heard from a neighbor before that taking Tripterygium wilfordii for half a month could easily prevent a man from giving birth to a child.
Su Yuewei knew that Cheng Wang had no feelings for her anymore and could divorce her at any time, or bring back a concubine from outside. When the concubine gave birth to a child, there would be no place for her in the family.
Anyway, she couldn't get pregnant in the past ten years, so she simply fed Zhang Chengwang triptych to prevent him from giving birth to a child.
After she was able to get pregnant, she stopped taking his medicine. She couldn't treat Chengwang as sincerely as before and had to learn to think about herself.
Thinking of this, the smile on Su Yuewei's face became gentler. She scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup, blew on it, and handed it to Zhang Chengwang's mouth.
Zhang Chengwang didn't like taking medicine, but he wanted to recover quickly so he could study his books seriously, so he still drank the whole bowl of medicinal soup with patience.
After she finished drinking, Su Yuewei sighed and said, "Chengwang, we can't stay in this village any longer. They dare to beat you so arrogantly today. I don't know if they will do something even more outrageous in the future."
She didn't want to live here for a long time. The villagers had been completely brainwashed by Su Yueling. They only hugged Su Yueling's thighs and flattered her all day long. It was better to live in the city. People in the city had seen the market, so they wouldn't be so
It's easy to be bribed by small favors.
It just so happened that Chengwang was having trouble with the villagers, so Su Yuewei wanted to seize this opportunity and encourage him to move to the city.
What Su Yuewei said is also what makes Zhang Chengwang afraid. The villagers have believed Yuan Suijun's words and are completely on his side. If he continues to stay in the village, he will be afraid of being slapped when he goes out.
He nodded, but his nod involved the wound again, and he grinned in pain. After the pain subsided, he said: "Didn't you have a hundred taels in your hand earlier? You and Wan Li went to the county seat these days to select
As soon as we enter a house that is suitable for our family to live in, we will buy it immediately."
Su Yuewei showed a troubled expression, "I only had nineteen taels of silver at my disposal, and the other eighty taels were used to buy farmland. It happened that someone wanted to sell fertile farmland at that time. You know fertile farmland is very rare, so I bought it.
"
It's impossible to buy a house in the county town with nineteen taels, and even a decent one can cost at least forty taels.
Zhang Chengwang said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about your land purchase?" She was so bold that she didn't discuss such a big matter with him, the head of the family.
Su Yuewei looked aggrieved, "I told you, you were in the study at that time, and I specifically told you this matter. You nodded, so I thought you agreed. I also asked you, if I can handle this matter."
, you still nod."
In fact, Su Yuewei knew that every time he really devoted himself to studying, he would not easily notice the sounds from the outside world. So she used this as an excuse.
The land is already in her name, and it is impossible for her to sell those fertile fields again.
Zhang Chengwang opened his mouth. He had no such impression at all. But Su Yuewei's aggrieved expression was so real that he began to doubt it.
Maybe it was because he was studying so hard at that time that he didn't even hear what she said.
He was a little annoyed and said: "Next time you come to me for something, speak louder."
Su Yuewei lowered her head, still looking as respectful as he was used to, "I will."
Zhang Chengwang took a deep breath. He had finally saved another ten taels of silver in the past two months, and now he had to spend it again.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a few more days and I will give you the money."
He could only sell some of the poems he had prepared for the provincial examination. Naturally, Zhang Chengwang didn't know the questions in the provincial examination, but the poems were nothing more than the four seasons or plants and flowers. Therefore, he thought hard about poems for each category.
Be prepared.
The last provincial examination question had lotus as its theme, but this year it probably won’t be flower-themed. Then just sell poems about lotus, chrysanthemum and plum blossom.
Anyway, he couldn't stay in this Lushan Village for a moment.
