Old Mrs. Deng was startled back by the noise at home, and she had only picked half of the herbs.
After hearing what the villager said, her eyes flashed slightly, and she hurriedly went to the house, "Is he okay? Oops! It's my fault too, I just went out for a while, hasn't he been running around in the past two days, I just thought
I'm going to get some herbs and come back and boil them for him to drink and see if he can stop it. If you think about it just for a moment, something big will almost happen!"
Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Deng would make some medicinal herbs to cure diarrhea, rashes, etc. It would definitely be useful to ask her to take the medicinal herbs and drink them.
So when I heard what she said, I was not surprised, but I felt sympathy for old Mrs. Deng in my heart. It was okay for a normal person to run away, but for a person who was lying down and unable to move to run away, it would really be a hardship for the people who served him.
Tsk tsk, then change the wash and it won’t be all over your crotch? It smells so bad!
"Only one quilt, the table and the box were burned. I guess the quilt accidentally fell down and fell into the brazier. Lao Zhang probably became anxious when he saw the fire. He wanted to put out the fire, but he fell to the ground.
He's here, but nothing happened. We also carried him back to bed. You have to be careful next time, it's not easy to burn this house down!" Old Man Zhang said.
Mr. Deng listened and nodded, thanking everyone for their help.
Everyone waved their hands, said some small things, said thank you, and then left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Old Deng strode into the back room of the upper room.
When Mr. Zhang saw Mr. Deng come in, he snorted and turned his face inside, not looking at him at all.
Old Mrs. Deng looked around and saw the charred quilt, the burned table, half of the burned box, and the messy clothes inside.
Suddenly, I vaguely understood something.
She smiled and said nothing.
Take the brazier out first.
Miao was about to come in to help clean up, but she sent him away.
After entering the house again, she took out the burned quilt and table legs and threw them outside, letting Miao use them as firewood to continue burning at night.
The floor was neatly tidied up again, and the windows were opened to reveal the burning smell in the room.
Turning around and seeing Mr. Zhang lying on the bed, she froze. She laughed, "The quilt wasn't blown by the strong wind. It's just a thick quilt. If you don't cherish it, you'll do it for yourself. I
You might as well not cover it at all, you're not afraid of the cold anyway."
Zhang Laodou snorted and glared at her.
Old Mrs. Deng was not upset. She pretended not to see it and walked to the half-missed box and took out the clothes one by one.
This box was filled with almost all of Zhang Lao Dou’s clothes. The ones that were burned and the ones that were not burned were all wet with water. She ignored them all and piled them together, then went out and threw them away later.
go!
Nothing to wear?
Tomorrow is over, whoever should dress him should dress him.
After sorting through it to the bottom, a box as big as a palm came out.
The box was half burnt, but not completely burned, so it was fine.
Zhang Laodou watched, his eyes widened.
Old Mrs. Deng walked towards him and opened the box calmly in front of his big bull's eyes.
The box was opened, and a jade pendant lay quietly inside, crystal clear.
Zhang Laodou's eyes immediately turned red, and he struggled and wanted to eat the jade pendant in one bite.
Seeing him like this, Old Mrs. Deng couldn't help but smile, with a hint of mockery and a hint of coldness in his expression.
"Tell me, you, after all this trouble, are you doing this just for this?"
"If you had told me earlier, I could personally help you destroy it."
"Don't be so petty and think that I care about your jade pendant? My son doesn't rely on your jade pendant, and my grandson doesn't need to rely on it either. Why bother looking for someone else to find a future with a shameless face? If you don't work hard yourself, what's the point of just relying on others?
use?"
"I was originally thinking that since you are really thinking about your eldest grandson taking the imperial examination, give this jade pendant to him and see what he can do with it. The left and right are things you sacrificed your life for, so it is natural for them to be used by your children and grandchildren."
"But now, if you don't care about your life, it will be destroyed, so there is no point in keeping it. Just destroy it, so as not to give your children and grandchildren unnecessary delusions and lose their own efforts to make progress."
"It doesn't matter if you don't use it. I think it would be a disaster to keep this thing. Thirty years have passed, who knows if people still recognize this jade pendant."
Old Mrs. Deng looked very disdainful, but what he said made Mr. Zhang almost vomit blood.
Then, Old Mrs. Deng slowly picked up the jade pendant and threw it to the side as if lightly. But with a "pop", the jade pendant fell to the ground and fell into pieces, shattering on the ground.
Zhang Laodou's eyes were about to burst and his face was gray. The feeling in his heart at this moment was simply indescribable.
He thinks it is precious and is afraid that others will get it, so he would rather destroy it with his own hands than make it cheap. Who knows that others don't care at all?
It seemed like it was just a joke, what a big joke!
Zhang Laodou could hardly bear the blow, and saw the jade pendant completely destroyed with his own eyes.
Finally, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and the person fainted.
Old Mrs. Deng looked at it and felt particularly relieved.
After all, she was afraid that the man would freeze to death and affect the family separation tomorrow, so Old Mrs. Deng got him a bed and quilt to cover him.
…
Zhang Hugua drove the mule cart all the way to the town with the tasks assigned by Old Deng.
Zhang Ji's grocery store was closer, so he went to Zhang's grocery store first.
Zhang Digua is like a woman in confinement, staying in bed for many days without coming out to see anyone. Today, she is feeling better and the sun is shining brightly. After lunch, she went out to see the wind.
She was wrapped thickly and was particularly afraid of the cold. Even in the shop where there was no wind, she would hide behind the counter in the lee of the wind, holding a hand stove and a charcoal pot at her feet.
He was out for a while, and some people came to buy things. They looked at him strangely. He knew they were mocking him for wearing a cuckold.
But what is the truth? He knows in his heart that his wife has asked her father-in-law to send people to suppress this rumor, but there are too many people in the town and they can't stop them.
He was angry when he heard it, but his anger was of no use, so he simply pretended to be deaf and blind, pretending that he didn't see or hear.
I still have to coax my wife carefully, which is really tiring.
No, my wife is in a bad mood. She just took some money and went shopping to buy jewelry.
Zhang Digua looked at the account book at hand and sighed.
Business is not going well this month. Even the money I make is not enough for my wife.
I hope that next month, there will be more New Year goods, business will be better, I will make more money, and I will have a good year.
When I looked up, I saw someone coming in from outside. I thought it was a guest, but at first glance, I saw that this was not the fourth child I hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhang Digua looked at it, his face darkened, and he was also very resentful towards this fourth child.
If he had known better earlier and listened to his advice to help get the prescription, he wouldn't have run back every now and then and suffered this fate.
Fortunately, your boss was manipulated by his enemies, and it was useless. Otherwise, if he hadn't completed this matter, your boss might have given him a blank look and put on his shoes!
He is so afraid of the cold now, to put it bluntly, it was because of the fourth child!
Zhang Digua was resentful in his heart, but he didn't hide it on his face. When he saw someone walking towards him, he said coldly: "What are you doing here? If you are here to take care of business, let the assistant lead you to pick. If you are here to get money, that's not the case."
Not a penny!"
He is not stupid, he will never take any money from that house in the future!
