Mr. Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Call the man over here first, because we have approached the village chief many times about this matter."
Favor becomes thinner the more you use it, so don't use it when you can't use it.
Zhou Dalang responded, and went out with Zhou Dalang in the dark to the leper's house.
The Scarlet family had just finished eating. Even though there was nothing busy in the first month of the year, their family still ate very late because the Scarlet father and his mother had to take their grandson up the mountain to collect firewood. A load of firewood could be exchanged for some money in the county.
If you come back late, you will eat late.
As soon as the man was full, he threw down the bowl and chopsticks and turned around to go back to the house. Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang didn't need to knock on the door because their house didn't have a door at all. They walked directly into the yard and said to the man who was about to go back to the house: "
Leprechaun, please come out."
The leper was a little scared when he saw the old Zhou family. He sat down on the chair and asked in fear, "What are you doing?"
The leper's father quickly stood up and said, "Dalang and Erlang are here. Do you want to come in and have something to eat?"
Zhou Dalang was the same generation as him, but younger than him. He quickly smiled and said: "No, brother, just eat it. We have all eaten it at home. I have something to ask the man."
"What's going on? Is this kid causing trouble for your family? I'll beat him up later."
"No," Zhou Dalang was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Dalang said, "My mother asked us to ask, Mantou, do you want to use the land at the entrance of your village to plant ginger? If so, I will leave some ginger for you later.
piece."
The scabby girl immediately responded: "Yes, yes, it's too troublesome for my aunt, and I bother her to worry about us."
Zhou Dalang smiled and said: "It should be."
"Even my sister-in-law knows that my mother loves to nag. The village chief also said some time ago that it's not okay for the man to spend money like this, so my mother went to talk to the man."
The man’s father and mother did not doubt it. The village chief often came to the man’s house to persuade him because of his gambling. Qian was indeed a well-known enthusiastic person in the village. She liked to help anyone’s family with anything, so she didn’t do anything anymore.
Stop.
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang stepped forward and grabbed the man, "Let's go, my mother is waiting for you at home."
The man always felt a little chilly in his heart and struggled not to follow them.
When the mangy father and mother saw it, they helped to persuade them, "Just go over with your two uncles and listen. The elders are all for your own good..."
So the man was dragged to Lao Zhou's house.
The five brothers of Lao Zhou's family at home all looked at the mangy head. Lao Zhou and Mr. Qian were sitting on chairs on both sides of the table in the middle. Mr. Qian was doing business in the county town and didn't know about the affairs at home, so now the old Zhou's family
The daughter-in-law was led by Mrs. Feng and sat far away in the courtyard, guarding the courtyard door.
The maniac felt that he had simply entered a place more terrifying than the county jail, and the two sides were a little wary.
Zhou Erlang turned around and closed the door of the main room, and gave Feng a wink.
Madam Feng said to the confused Madam Fang and Madam Lu: "You go back to the house to see the children. Your third sister-in-law and I are doing some sewing here."
Fang glanced at the dim sky and stood up silently.
Mrs. Lu came in later than Mrs. Fang, and she didn’t know what was going on at home, so when she went back to the courtyard, she couldn’t help but grabbed Mrs. Fang and asked, “Sister-in-law Fourth, what happened at home?”
Fang shook her head slightly, "I don't know either. I guess it's some old things at home. You can ask Lao Wu when he gets back."
Mr. Lu didn't ask any more questions.
In the room, everyone gathered around the man, and Zhou Zhoulang slapped the man on the shoulder. Although he didn't use much force, the man's feet went weak and he sat down directly on the ground.
Everyone:......
Zhou Yilang wordlessly stretched out his hand to hold him and asked, "Ray Tou, have you done anything wrong?"
The mangy man shook his head repeatedly.
"You haven't done anything wrong. What are you afraid of?" Zhou Lang asked: "You hang out in casinos and you usually lie to people. Why do you hide around our family like a mouse after a dog these days?"
Zhou Dalang couldn't help coughing and glanced at Zhou Dalang, saying who is the dog?
He took a step forward, pulled Mangyu up and sat him down on the chair, and said with a stern face: "Rayhead, we all know the matter. These are our own people. There is no need for you to hide it from us. Tell us as soon as possible.
, we can still find a way to solve it."
What can be done about this?
The man was silent and did not speak.
Mr. Qian kept staring at Mantou, and when he saw this, he said: "Ratou, it's our family's responsibility to solve this matter. We couldn't do anything about it before, but now that the fourth child is doing business outside and has met some capable people, if you
If you told us earlier, we can also find a way to solve it, otherwise we will wait for people from outside to come to our door..."
The mangy man shuddered and said quickly: "Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with me. When my uncle was buried, I just carried the coffin. Your family didn't allow us to talk about it outside, so we didn't talk about it."
Qian tensed his back and asked, "What did you tell Mr. Guan?"
"I, I didn't say anything," said the mangy head: "Mr. Yang even slapped me and pinched my fingers, but I didn't say anything. That is a serious crime of beheading. Do I, do I dare to speak out?
"
Qian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did Mr. Yang tell you where he found out about this?"
"I don't know either. I was suddenly taken to the Yamen, and the first time I opened my mouth was to ask about my uncle, how could I dare to say anything?"
"Why did Magistrate Yang ask?"
"I just asked if my uncle had come back. By the way, County Magistrate Yang also said that someone had seen my uncle come back. He asked how he was sure that Zhou Yin who died in Shangzhou was his uncle..."
Qian thought for a moment and understood. After asking the man a few more questions to make sure that he really didn't say anything, she glanced at Zhou Dalang.
Zhou Dalang immediately turned around and took a basket of ginger cubes to him and said: "These are the ginger cubes buried at home. Because they are for planting, I chose the best ones and buried them well. Once the first month is over, the weather will be better."
When it gets warmer, take it home to your mother. Remember to bury it with plant ash mixed with sand, and plant it when the land at the entrance of the village is cleared."
The maniac was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Are you really looking for him to grow ginger?
Qian looked at him and sighed, "Dazhu, the boss of your family is not young anymore. Do you really plan to live in the casino all your life? Although this kind of ginger is not as good as farming, it is an income at least. Now my fourth child is
I also found customers in Yizhou City. Even if the ginger you grow cannot be sold in the county, it is cheaper for the fourth child to take it to Yizhou City. You can earn more than ten cents per pound. The one at the entrance of the village is more than three cents.
Land, be careful, save it for a few years and then you can marry Daniel."
Hearing this, Rattou was moved in his heart, took the basket and responded. No one had called him by his name for many years. They all called him Rattou, Rattou. He almost forgot what his name was.
