MTL - Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister-Chapter 435 Fung's Tuogu
Chapter 435 Feng's Tuogu
Yu Xiaolian didn't expect that Zhao Chunyu sold herself to Zheng Yuanfeng, and Zheng Yuanfeng really never mentioned this to her.
"Auntie, do you know that my grandparents are still alive?" Yu Xiaolian finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Feng said happily, "Your grandma died, your third uncle stole your grandma's money, and ran away with Qi, I heard that he ran south with the Qi family.
Your grandma fled the famine with your uncle at the beginning, but later your uncle came back by himself, and he said that your grandma died on the way to flee the famine.
After your uncle came back, he lived here for two years. Later, your cousin Yu Zishu came back and took him away. He must have gone to enjoy the blessings. Your cousin drove the carriage and dressed well. "
Speaking of this, Mrs. Feng sighed in her heart. She always felt that life is like a drama. It only takes a few years.
God is really unfair.
Hearing that the old man Yu and the old lady Yu were dead, and that Yu Changfu was taken away by Yu Zishu, Yu Xiaolian felt that there was no need to continue what her father had told her.
Yu Changfu will definitely not be short of food and clothing at Yu Zishu's place. As for her third uncle Yu Ziyi, no one knows where he fled. The south is so big, she can't find it, and she doesn't want to find it.
"Ma'am, those people are coming with torches, it looks like they are going to burn the house!"
Caogen suddenly entered the house and said to Yu Xiaolian, "Once the thatched house is on fire, the kung fu will be ruined in a short while, let's go out?"
Feng Shi listened to the words of the grassroots, and quickly pushed Zhao Ping and Yu Xiaolian out, "Go, you go!"
Yu Xiaolian pulled Zhao Ping and was about to go out. Zhao Ping didn't want his mother to stay here and wait to be burned to death, so he kept struggling. Yu Xiaolian simply let the grass roots carry Zhao Ping out.
As soon as Yu Xiaolian came out of Zhao's courtyard, Ma Dashan led dozens of villagers and surrounded the gate of Zhao's courtyard tightly.
"You are not allowed to hurt my mother, and you are not allowed to burn my house, or I will kill you all when I grow up." Zhao Ping was still struggling in the grass roots.
"Don't worry, they don't dare!" Yu Xiaolian tried to appease Zhao Ping's excited emotions.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?" Ma Dashan and the others were all wearing thick face scarves, covering their mouths and noses tightly, and they were all standing far outside the courtyard gate, not at all. near.
Yu Xiaolian took out the waist card she made, and walked a few steps forward to show it to Ma Dashan. Ma Dashan is the head of a village and can read and write.
When he read the words on Yu Xiaolian's waist card, he was so frightened that the torch in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Yu Xiaolian?" Ma Dashan's mood at this moment cannot be described as surprise.
"It's me!" Yu Xiaolian put away her waist badge, "If you think about it, you can see it clearly. I am now a seventh-rank academic officer appointed by the emperor. Although I am a civil servant, I can't directly control you village chiefs and district chiefs. , but my husband is the new county magistrate of Yangcheng, I advise you not to act rashly, or I will let my husband arrest you all as corvees, to repair fortifications, and to do hard work."
Ma Dashan pointed to Mrs. Feng in the house, "But Mrs. Feng has the plague, which will infect the whole village. I don't care what official you are today. Mrs. Feng must die. Other villages have been burned to death recently. There are few people, and I have never seen the government arrest them. Some villages have effectively stopped the epidemic with this method, and I heard that the government even praised them!"
"Yes, if you stop us from burning Feng's family, you want everyone in Hewanzi to be buried with Feng's family. That's not acceptable. Feng's family must die today."
"Yes, the Feng family must die. The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family in Nanwanzi got the plague, and Lizheng couldn't stop burning his own daughter-in-law. Later, the whole village got it. Now the officials have surrounded Nanwanzi by three people. After many months, I heard that there are more dead people than gasping ones, and the government just waited for them to be almost dead, and burned the village with a torch!"
"Yes, it won't work if anyone stops her. Feng must die, and we can't let her implicate us!"
The villagers spoke to each other, which made Zhao Ping even more emotional. In order to save energy, the grassroots simply tapped Zhao Ping's acupoints, making him unable to move.
"Private suicide is against the law, even if the order of a county wants to kill a prisoner, it must be executed after three strikes.
I've checked Feng's pulse just now, she won't survive tonight, if you don't believe me, come back tomorrow morning, then I will never stop you.
People have thousands of ways to die, but it would be too painful to be burned alive. Everyone and Mrs. Feng are neighbors, so can't Mrs. Feng be allowed to live tonight? "
Yu Xiaolian knew that in the face of the terrible plague, the villagers were very panicked, so she decided to persuade them with emotion and reason.
Ma Dashan found Che Langzhong from the crowd, "Che Langzhong, why don't you go and feel Feng's pulse? See if it's what Yu Xiaolian said. If she really can't survive tonight, then we will let her die by herself." , I don’t want to get blood on my hands either!”
Che Langzhong has actually been researching how to treat plague patients recently, and he also went to other villages to participate in the rescue. Because he took the pulse of plague patients, he knew the pulse and symptoms of plague patients.
Che Langzhong entered the room without hesitation, only to see Feng Shi kneeling on the kang, with his head propped on the kang in a strange posture, and Feng Shi was also scorned, so he approached gently and tried it. Feng's breathing, seeing that Feng's breath seemed to be dead, he sighed and walked out.
"Feng has already gone!"
Hearing that Mrs. Feng had gone, Zhao Ping, whose acupuncture points had been tapped, burst into tears and passed out suddenly.
Yu Xiaolian said to Caogen, "Put him in the carriage first!"
Grass root picked up Zhao Ping and walked quickly to the carriage.
When they passed by the gate of the courtyard, everyone retreated one after another, staying far away, for fear of being contaminated by some poisonous gas.
"Feng is dead, Village Chief Ma, you can collect the body now!" Yu Xiaolian looked at Ma Dashan.
Ma Dashan hesitated for a moment, and asked him to say that the house of the Zhao family was burned down with a torch. Who would want to touch Feng's body? It would be bad if he was also infected with the plague.
"Feng shouldn't have the plague. Plague patients have dark complexions and black nails. Feng doesn't have these symptoms." Che Langzhong said.
Everyone believed in what Che Langzhong said, and they breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Che Langzhong said.
"Since it's not a plague, let Zhao Ping handle his mother's funeral by himself, shall we go back?" Madam Ma waved his hand and wanted to take his sons away.
Back when their family went to Houshan to bury her eldest son and second son, the house caught fire when they came back, but although she didn't see Yu Xiaolian set the fire with her own eyes, she believed in her heart that Yu Xiaolian set the fire.
At first, I thought it was time to settle accounts with Yu Xiaolian, but I didn't expect that Yu Xiaolian would become some kind of academic officer.
Women can be officials?
No, Yu Xiaolian's eye color doesn't seem right either!
Is this Yu Xiaolian a fake?
But who is pretending to be Yu Xiaolian and why?
As the saying goes, if the people don't fight with the officials, Mrs. Ma decided not to provoke Yu Xiaolian. Anyway, she can't go back to the village to live. It will have no effect on her future life.
Who is who she loves, what official she loves, what official she loves, anyway, it is right for her to hide away, Ma Shi waved her son and grandson and left.
As soon as the Luo family left, the dozens of people Ma Dashan brought with him fell by half.
Yu Xiaolian frowned, why didn't this bad guy get his reward? I haven't seen you for a few years, but the population of the Luo family has not decreased but increased. It's just that good people are not rewarded, and the disaster will last for thousands of years!
Someone died in the village. As the head of the village, Ma Dashan naturally couldn't just leave.
He recruited several people to drag Feng's family to the back mountain and bury him.
Yu Xiaolian took out a two taels of silver coin, "Please ask Uncle Ma to call someone to make a thin coffin for Feng Shi!"
Feng Shi can be considered her mother's best friend, and she is a kind-hearted and hard-working person. She really can't bear Feng Shi to be buried in such a hasty manner.
There are carpenters in the village, and there are logs on the mountain. It is very simple to beat the deputy Boguan.
Yu Xiaolian said to Caogen, "Follow Zhao Ping, let him kowtow to his mother's grave, and then bring him back!"
Grassroots answered yes, and followed Feng's coffin with Zhao Ping.
Yu Xiaolian stood in the shadow on the side of the carriage, waiting for Cao Gen and Zhao Ping to come back.
At the end of the day, Caogen brought Zhao Ping back. Yu Xiaolian asked Zhao Ping what his plan was, did he want to follow her, or go to his sister Zhao Chunyu?
Zhao Ping thought of his sister's situation in Zheng's mansion, and chose to follow Yu Xiaolian without hesitation.
His elder sister wholeheartedly wanted to marry Zheng Xiaolang, even if it was to be a concubine, she was willing to do so. A few months ago, he and his mother went to Yangcheng to visit his elder sister. While waiting for the transmission outside the gate of Zheng's residence, he accidentally heard that Shopkeeper Hai Chatting with another shopkeeper, it turned out that Zheng Xiaolang had already married his wife last year, but that wife lived in the old house in the south of Zheng's family, not in the north.
Just when his mother was about to step forward to inquire, the two shopkeepers were sent in by the concierge on vacation. It seemed that they came to the mansion at the end of the month to collect accounts from Zheng Xiaolang.
By the time the concierge informed her, Zhao Ping had already discussed with Feng Shi not to tell Zhao Chunyu about this matter. Zhao Chunyu's obsession with Zheng Yuanfeng had reached an almost morbid level, and Zhao Ping and Feng Shi really didn't want to hit her .
But he didn't want to meet and talk, only to find out that Zhao Chunyu already knew about Zheng Yuanfeng's marriage.
Zhao Chunyu has been a slave and maidservant in Zheng Yuanfeng's mansion for nearly nine years. During this period, Zheng Yuanfeng made it clear that Zhao Chunyu should go home and marry. The county government stamped the deed of prostitution.
However, Zheng Yuanfeng persuaded him several times, but Zhao Chunyu was stubborn and refused to go home to marry, and Zheng Yuanfeng stopped persuading him later.
Zhao Chunyu became a twenty-year-old girl in Zheng's mansion.
In the first few years, Feng was not in a hurry. She always thought that men chased women, and women chased men with layers of gauze. Her daughter was not ugly. bit.
In the past two years, Feng Shi felt that her health was getting worse, and her daughter's marriage became a heart problem for her. Finally, at the end of the year, Feng Shi decided to go to Yangcheng to bring her daughter back.
When I went there, Feng made up her mind to tie her daughter back, but when they met, facing her daughter's country crying, Feng's determination quickly dissipated.
Zhao Chunyu refused to go back to Hewanzi, life or death, Feng had no choice but to take Zhao Ping back to Hewanzi.
Zhao Chunyu should be able to earn monthly money with Zheng Yuanfeng, and Zhao Chunyu also gave Feng some of the money she had saved, but Feng wanted to save the money for Zhao Ping to marry a wife in the future, so he refused when he was sick. Going to see a doctor and taking medicine, just stick to it.
Zhao Ping has resentment towards this sister. If his mother hadn't been worried about his sister all day, she wouldn't have left so suddenly. After all, his mother is not yet fifty years old.
Mother died and the family was separated, Zhao Ping had already decided in his heart not to recognize Zhao Chunyu as his sister.
"I am willing to go with my sister. I can chop firewood, cook, and wash clothes. Sister, I won't let you take me in for nothing." Zhao Ping's voice was muffled.
In fact, if his mother hadn’t left her alone before her death, he wouldn’t want to rely on anyone. There is unplanted land in their village, and he would plant an acre or two diligently, and the grain harvested in autumn would be enough for him to eat for a year. up.
But it was his mother's last wish to let him follow Yu Xiaolian. Zhao Ping didn't want to disobey his mother at all. He had no chance to be filial to his mother. Same disobedience?
"Since you decided to come with me, then get in the car!" After a busy day, Yu Xiaolian was also very tired, and she didn't want to talk nonsense at this time.
"Sister, wait for me, I'll be back right away!" After Zhao Ping finished speaking, he ran quickly to his yard. After a while, he was in the house, found a dozen small pieces of silver that Feng had hidden, and put it in his arms. After that, he took a few more pieces of his clothes before getting into the carriage.
"Sister, where are we going?"
Zhao Ping was extremely disturbed in his heart, and he kept comforting himself in his heart that the person his mother entrusted to him should not be a bad person.
Yu Xiaolian leaned on the carriage, closed her eyes, "Let's go to the town first, I still have something to do, I will take you back to Yangcheng in a few days, my family is in Yangcheng now."
Zhao Ping's two little fingers kept tugging back and forth, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say, and afraid of making Yu Xiaolian unhappy by asking too many questions, he kept silent and stopped talking.
Yu Xiaolian and Gao Shi made an appointment to meet at the Laifu Inn in the town, but Yu Xiaolian waited until dark and did not see Gao Shi come back. She knew that Gao Shi must have found her parents or brothers.
Yu Xiaolian arranged separate rooms for Zhao Ping and Caogen, and asked someone to bring hot water to Zhao Ping. When Zhao Ping went down the river to catch fish, the mud he made was still hanging on his body!
Besides, Yu Xiaolian didn't notice at first that Zhao Ping carried several clothes in a bag, and when she found out, she asked the grass roots to throw Zhao Ping's clothes away.
Zhao Ping took a shower and put on the new clothes Caogen had just bought for him, and he became even more uneasy.
This situation and when his mother took him and his sister to join the Zheng family, made him even more uneasy.
Maybe it was because he had his family by his side at that time, and his mother was the backbone for him, so Zhao Ping didn't panic.
At this time, the two people around him were strangers who had never met before. Yu Xiaolian not only asked the grassroots to buy him clothes made of good materials, but also gave him white flour buns. Is there really something for no reason in the world?
Even his parents' relatives couldn't be so generous, why would this Yu Xiaolian be willing to let him be a "free rice"?
Is it really just because we used to be neighbors with his family? The reason why her mother and his mother have a good relationship?
