Uncle Yun glanced at Yue Zhongyao, who looked a little lonely, and couldn't bear it.
He said to him: "It seems that when Jin Niang left, she left you a letter. It is with my eldest daughter-in-law. You can go get it and read it when you get home. Jin Niang should have explained it to you before she left.
"
Yue Zhongyao's eyes lit up, and his whole figure seemed to come to life again.
"Jin Niang, did Jin Niang leave a letter for me?"
Uncle Yun nodded.
Yue Zhongyao stood up hurriedly: "Okay, then I'll go back now. Uncle, I'll go back right now!"
After saying that, he wanted to go out in a hurry.
Uncle Yun quickly stopped him: "Why don't you come back after dinner?"
"No, no, I'll go back now. Uncle, don't be busy. Zhong Yao will come again next time."
Uncle Yun saw the impatient look on Yue Zhongyao's face and pulled him back.
After thinking about it, she told him everything her mother had done during this time.
After hearing this, Yue Zhongyao's face fell as deep as water.
Uncle Yun sighed, and then said: "When you go back, try to persuade your mother. It's not like you can't eat, and it's not like the house is about to collapse and you can't live in it. Why do you have to live in Jin's yard?"
It’s not easy for my mother to clean up that yard by herself, and you don’t want her to come back and see your own yard being messed up, right?”
Yue Zhongyao cupped his hands towards Uncle Yun, with an apologetic look on his face, and said: "Uncle, I have put you in a difficult situation. I will definitely persuade my mother when I go back. She will never come to disturb you again in the future. I am in this generation
My mother apologizes to you."
Uncle Yun did not give him any trouble, and what Wu did was not blamed on Yue Zhongyao.
He just waved his hand and sent him away.
Looking at Yue Zhongyao's figure walking away in a hurry, he shook his head secretly and let out a long sigh.
The child is good, but the mother is really unreliable.
Yue Zhongyao rushed all the way, focusing only on his journey. Although he was tired from the journey, the time it took him to return to Xiahe Village was actually half an hour faster than before.
"San, are you back?"
During this period of time, Mrs. Wu would either stay in Yunjia Village or go to the workshop to harass Mrs. He, or she would go to Qiao Mingjin's house and walk along the outer wall of her house several times.
Anyway, I have no time to spare every day.
I don't expect her to be able to go down there anymore. She only brings her two daughters-in-law together every day to discuss countermeasures. Isn't it said that three cobblers are the equal of Zhuge Liang?
Every day when Mrs. Wu ran along the outer wall of Qiao Mingjin's house to explore, she wished that some of the wall tiles had peeled off, exposing a dog hole for her to crawl into.
In this way, she could remain unnoticed. As long as she went in and picked the locks of each room in Qiao's house and ransacked them, who would have known it was her?
But that bitch was willing to spend money. The wall was made more than an inch thick, and her hand would be broken if she cut it down with one palm. I just hated her for not being able to do it.
When he saw Yue Zhongyao appearing at his door, he was overjoyed.
He greeted me with a smile on his face: "Why does it take so long to go this time? If you go out for a few more days, the master will give you more money?"
As long as Mrs. Wu thinks about having money in her pocket again, she will smile with joy and wrinkles one by one.
Yue Zhongyao glanced at his mother coldly, then glanced at his two brothers and their wives, then went into the house with a straight face.
Yu and Sun were frightened by Yue Zhongyao's cold face.
However, Wu had a thick skin and always believed that it came from his own belly. How could he be frightened by Yue Zhongyao's cold face?
He immediately chased after him.
"Where's the money? How much did you earn this time? Last time, you came back with three taels, but this time you came back several days late. It's more than just three taels, right?"
Wu said as she rummaged through Yue Zhongyao's package.
Yue Zhongyao didn't stop her either. He let her take out her old clothes and crumpled them into a ball on the bed.
"Mom, I got four taels of silver this time."
"Really? It's so good. It's more than if you were a head catcher! And you can get so much in less than a month."
Wu couldn't help being happy.
It doesn't matter what his son does, as long as he brings home more and more money.
There was a hint of disappointment on Yue Zhongyao's face.
His mother never asked him what hardships he endured outside, what he did, whether his life was in danger... Just like before he left for the battlefield, his mother never thought that he could come back alive, right?
"Where's the silver?"
Wu couldn't find any money in the package, so she stretched out her hands in front of Yue Zhongyao.
"I lent the money to a friend who went with me. His family has urgent needs."
Wu's eyes widened when she heard this.
"What did you say? You lent your money to others? Do you think it's too much money to burn your hands, or do you think our family has so much money that we can't put it down? We don't have any money to use it, yet we lend it to others!"
As Wu said this, he went up to beat Yue Zhongyao.
Yue Zhongyao gritted his teeth and was beaten several times before he said, "Who has an urgent matter? It's not like I won't pay it back!"
"I'll beat you to death! I've been out for so many days and I haven't gotten back a penny! After marrying that unfilial and unjust man from Mr. Qiao, you've become like that! You don't even have your parents in your eyes! If I had known you were like this
Yeah, in the lean years, I might as well sell you for a few buckets of food and come back!"
Mrs. Wu kept yelling and cursing.
The more Yue Zhongyao listened, the more frustrated he became.
Every time he took the money, he didn't keep a penny and gave it all to his mother. If he didn't get it back once, his mother would live or die.
My son's life is actually more important than that yellow and white thing.
Yue Zhongyao sat on the bed blankly and let Wu beat him and scold him.
Wu was tired from beating him, and when he saw that he didn't make a sound or groan, she was even more jealous. Her hands were numb from beating him, so she kicked him with her foot, and she almost kicked Yue Zhongyao off the bed with such force.
Seeing that he was sitting still, Mrs. Wu used her hands to pluck the clothes and packages on the bed. Several packages of cakes and snacks wrapped in oil paper rolled down.
Mrs. Wu ran to pick it up distressedly, scolding her while picking it up.
Lao Yuetou and Yue Xiaoman came back from outside and squeezed into the house to pull the two people away.
The old man Yue Tou had somewhat strengthened his husband at home, and he was used to farm work, so he pulled Wu out at once.
When Wu was dragged out, she still kept the packets of snacks in her arms and went out cursing.
Yue Xiaoman looked sad. Her third brother must have known the news that his third sister-in-law was gone. He must be very sad, right?
Yue Xiaoman gave him a steady look, stayed to help him clean up a bit, and then went out.
Yue Zhongyao sat in the room for a while, straightened his clothes, and then went out to look for He.
The uncle said that Jin Niang left a letter for him.
He was very happy to see him back and asked a few questions, then handed him the letter left by Qiao Mingjin.
Yue Zhongyao held the letter tightly in his arms and ran straight into the depths of the forest. He looked around and saw no one, so he carefully opened the letter and read...
After reading the letter, Yue Zhongyao felt happy and sad at the same time.
Jinniang, Jinniang has him in her heart.
But now Jinniang's status is different. He is like this now... Not to mention that before, he has made Jinniang suffer a lot of injustice. From now on...
What should he do next?
He didn't know anything and only had a lot of strength. He originally wanted to go home and guard Jinniang and live a good life. But the few acres of wasteland he cultivated were not even a fraction of the land Jinniang bought. Those acres of wasteland were not even
If feeding him is not enough, how can I support my wife and daughter and support the family...
Yue Zhongyao sat in the forest for several hours, until the forest became dark, and then he returned.
I stayed at home for a few more days, listening to Wu's nagging every day, and asked him to go to Yunjia Village to get the key to Qiao Mingjin's house. He said he wanted to move in. He said that if no one lived in the house for a long time, the weeds would become overgrown with spiders.
It can no longer be lived in. She is here to help guard the house.
Yue Zhongyao didn't listen to her.
When I had free time, I took out the letter written by Qiao Mingjin, took a look at it, folded it carefully, stuffed it back and put it away.
A few days passed like this, and the shopkeeper of Yuji's blacksmith shop in Qingchuan City sent someone to look for him.
The person who came was a clerk in the store, and he only said that the shopkeeper told Yue Zhongyao to go to the city.
Yue Zhongyao didn't know why, but he still knew about Yu Ji's blacksmith shop.
When Jin Niang first started selling firewood, she sold it to his family. Shopkeeper Yu also bought a lot of the wild animals she hunted and the wild vegetables she picked.
He was very grateful, and he also brought a lot of convenience to his family when he was a policeman.
It's just that he doesn't have much contact with Shopkeeper Yu, right?
Yue Zhongyao thought for a long time and felt that he had nothing that others could do for him. So he immediately followed the guy to the city.
Shopkeeper Yu was very polite when he saw him. He poured him tea himself and exchanged a few words with him. Only then did he explain his intention.
It turned out that the owner of the family whom Yue Zhongyao rescued on the road was actually Prince An himself.
He originally thought that the family was wealthy, but he didn't expect that Prince An accompanied the princess back to Yongzhou to get married.
Prince An and his wife were grateful that he came to the rescue at that time. Princess An also remembered that Yue Zhongyao was from her hometown. When she learned that Prince An intended to add a bodyguard to the palace after returning to Beijing, she started to talk about him.
Prince An had a good impression of Yue Zhongyao.
He also thought that Yu Ding, the former guard coach in his mansion, had resigned and returned to his home in Qingchuan, so he ordered someone to write a letter to Yu Ding immediately.
Let him secretly investigate Yue Zhongyao's character and ask him if he intends to serve in the Jingzhong County Prince's Palace...
After Yu Ding finished speaking, he saw Yue Zhongyao frowning in thought, and then said: "I know a little bit about Brother Yue Xian. These two times you went with Shopkeeper Wang to pledge goods, you must also want to earn more.
You have money to support your family. I think you are not without ambition. Maybe Prince An will have what you are looking for."
Seeing that Yue Zhongyao was listening attentively, he added: "Prince An and the emperor have the same grandfather, so they are quite close in blood. And because Prince An is an honest man and loyal to the emperor, the emperor also values him very much.
Let him lead the infantry battalion of the Imperial Guard. Prince An is a man who repays his kindness. This time you are helping him. He intends to support you and let you enter his mansion to take up the position of guard. Prince An's Mansion
The guards here all have official titles. The second-class guards are of the eighth rank, and the first-class guards are of the seventh rank. When I retired, I was the sixth rank. If you perform well in the future, you will be favored by the king, and you will be on the battlefield.
If you have experience, you may have a place in the infantry battalion."
After Yu Ding said this, he stopped talking.
They are all smart people. If you are ambitious, you should understand. If you don't care, it will be useless to talk too much.
"Can Yue ask me why Shopkeeper Yu resigned from his job and returned to his hometown?"
Yue Zhongyao looked at Yu Ding and asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
