Later, Jiang Sanlang personally sent Li Xu rice, flour, food, salt, pepper, etc.
He also sent two quilts and several pieces of cotton cloth to his mother and son. He also told him that he could use the vegetables in the kitchen at the back of the school as he wanted, because they were not left behind by a teacher.
Both the cotton cloth and the bedding were made of cotton. They were red and soft, and Li Xu was stunned.
It was the first time he saw such red and soft cloth.
An touched the cloth and said to her son: "Xu'er, it seems we came to the wrong place. The folk customs there are simple and the people are very kind. Although I am teaching here, I can also find time to study. It is much better than at home."
"
Li Xu nodded: "You are right. With you by my side, my son will feel at ease. Whatever happens in the future, we all hope to stay here."
If possible, he would like to live and work happily here with his mother for the rest of his life.
Before, Li Xu finished cleaning up the house and went out for a walk. He saw that every house in the small village was decorated with bricks and tiles, and they looked very wealthy.
The adults and children were all gentle and polite, well-dressed, and there was no trace of hunger or poverty.
Li Xu was very curious as to whether this village relied on any collective to become rich.
His hometown is not like that. There are rich and poor people in a village. There is not much interaction between the rich and the poor. Even children living in the same village will not play together because of the gap between rich and poor.
It's like there is an invisible gap dividing them into two classes.
In the evening, the patriarch's family finally returned.
People were coming from the east in carriages, and they were all wilted, like leaves beaten by frost.
They had been in the county jail cell for more than two months. Although they had not been sentenced, they were all disheveled, haggard, and all of them had lost a lot of weight, as if they were refugees on the run.
Chen Zhu supported his pregnant wife as she walked home, and my mother, Tang Shi, followed closely behind with Xiao Yao in her arms.
The patriarch looked at his wife's back, then at the eldest son and his second son's family. He sighed and said to his two sons: "Jia Xing, Jiazhen, we will temporarily stay at my uncle's house tomorrow, and then return to the old village when the moon comes out."
.”
The two sons don't have a house in Nanpo, so they could have stayed at their younger brother Chen Zhu's house temporarily, but judging from the younger son's attitude towards his two older brothers, it might not be possible.
Chen Jiaxing was speechless and went east to his house at the invitation of his cousin Chen Shu.
The patriarch of Bu Nao Chen Shucuo said: "Uncle, his house is limited, so we can take in my eldest brother and his family."
As for the second cousin's family, we can ask him to find another place.
The patriarch looked at his nephew Chen Ting again.
Chen Ting immediately averted his eyes, turned around and hid in the crowd.
Just kidding, his own family relies on my mother to take care of food and drink, so how can he entertain his second cousin's family?
Seeing that his younger brother had escaped, Chen Yin said kindly: "Please go to my cousin's house. I can easily use a room in his house. Let's stay here for one night."
Chen Jiazhen had no objection, and Han Miaoniang didn't dare to say anything, so the family of four went to her cousin Chen Yin's house.
Patriarch Chen settled his two sons and breathed a sigh of relief before carrying Shi Tuo to his younger son Chen Zhu's home.
His wife Tang ignored her husband and went to the kitchen to boil water to wash away bad luck for her son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
Chen Fu coughed lightly and said to his old wife: "He will burn the stove, and I will go and make some noodles for them."
Mrs. Tang threw the fire fork and got up to make noodles.
Chen Fu secretly glanced at his old wife and silently walked to the stove to add wood to the fire.
Because of the trouble caused by the second daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law, the younger son Chen Zhu's family was implicated, and the younger daughter-in-law Shao Shi almost had a miscarriage. Therefore, due to the anger of his old wife, Chen Fu did not dare to say a word.
From beginning to end, the youngest son Chen Zhu's family is the most innocent. They know nothing, but they are forced to experience an unreasonable disaster.
Shao and Xiaoyao stayed in prison for more than two months. Their fear and hunger reduced the mother and son to a handful of bones.
If Jiang Sanlang hadn't gone to Detective Jin Wu to do some research, and had given Ying Bao some pills, it's unclear whether Shao and Xiaoyao would have survived until tomorrow.
In the evening, Chen Zhu, his wife and children washed up and ate something, and asked Mr. Shao to take his son Xiaoyao to rest first. He came to his father's house and said coldly: "Dad, let's go boating!"
Of his three brothers, the second brother was sent out because he opened a cloth shop in the town.
However, his and his eldest brother's household registrations had always been in his father's account, so they could not separate their families, so he was tricked by his eldest brother and the others one after another.
Did you trick him into serving in the military first? That time, his family was directly sent to jail.
If it weren't for Brother Jiang Sange and Xiao Yingbao, I don't even know how my family died.
Patriarch Chen was silent for a moment, then opened the box and took out the household registration, "That's good. Early in the morning, he will take me to Li Zheng to register the household registration again."
The younger son's family suffered a great injustice that time. No matter how dissatisfied Chen Fu was with his younger son's attitude, he did not dare to say anything. He took out five ingots of silver from the box and pushed it to him.
"I'll take the money and take Shao and Xiaoyao to Yingbao's to have a good look at it, and then buy some medicine."
The younger daughter-in-law, Shao, has been pregnant for a long time, she must be more than seven months old now. That time she was imprisoned, she almost died.
That is one of the reasons why the younger son hates his elder and second brothers.
Alas, even if I have too many sons, I cannot bear to be in debt. I am approaching old age, and I really want to get along among my sons.
After this, I am afraid that my position as patriarch can no longer be passed on to my eldest son.
Neither can the second son and the youngest son. They have both been in prison. Although they have not been sentenced, they will be criticized.
Then, the eldest nephew Chen Shu can take over.
Chen Fu touched the thick and yellowed Chen family tree and couldn't help crying.
Unexpectedly, his great reputation throughout his life would be ruined by his son's family in his later years.
When he enters the underworld one day, he will meet his father and grandfather with dignity.
Xiao Mansion in Luzhou.
Xiao Mo asked someone to call his younger brother Xiao Chengjun.
He slapped a letter on the table and asked in a cold voice: "Chengjun! What's wrong with me? Why did you leave Jiang and his daughter in the middle of the road?"
Xiao Chengjun was stunned for a moment, and then asked nonchalantly: "What? Did they complain to me?"
"Xiao Chengjun! My books have been read into the dog's belly? Do you know what it means to repay the original? Not to mention that the Jiang family's child once saved my life, let's say that she personally explained on behalf of the king that she must be safely delivered
I shouldn't leave them halfway."
Xiao Chengjun turned his face away, lowered his eyes and refused to shut up.
There are many questions in my mind.
Could it be that the rural girl wrote a letter to the elder brother?
How dare she?
Xiao Mo stared at his younger brother coldly and continued to ask: "Where did I take her five boxes?"
Xiao Chengjun frowned, and Dong consciously denied: "What box?"
Xiao Mo slapped the table and shouted sternly: "Xiao Chengjun! It's my fault that the son of a noble family did such a heinous act! Tell me! Where are all the Jiang family's suitcases?"
Xiao Chengjun's face flushed red, he frowned and said, "Why don't we just pack a few tattered boxes? Brother, why should I yell?"
"What did he ask me about? Xiao Chengjun, where is the box? It contains not only the property of the Jiang family, but also the gold, silver and cloth given by the emperor. If I can't take it out, I will compensate the Jiang family according to the facts!"
"Why should I ask him to compensate?"
Xiao Chengjun was angry: "How can a pariah from the Jiang family use gold and silver silk and satin? He threw those boxes into the river. If they want to beg, they can just go and fish them out of the river!"
