25. The house is built

Jiang Zhen came out to see his house, and his original intention was to meet Brother Zhao Jin.

However, Brother Zhao Jin went to work at Zhao Dahu's house early in the morning, and he didn't see anyone at all, and even Zhao's father and mother didn't see him.

Zhao Fugui went out to work like Zhao Jin Ge. As for Zhao Liu, she was probably a little scared and closed the door and never came out of the house.

After touching his nose, Jiang Zhen felt a little embarrassed, and then he found that... for the villagers, he might be almost the same as a beast.

Logically speaking, there are so many people building houses here, and Shuang'er, the women in the village, may come here to chat and talk, and the children will come here to play, but in fact... Jiang Zhen was so impressed that he didn't see any children nearby.

Even those men who worked hard after he came, they all worked hard and didn't dare to say a word.

These people worked so hard that he might be able to move into a new house tomorrow... Jiang Zhen thought so and asked Jiang Quan, the eldest son of the village chief who was arranged to do something not far away: "When will I live in this house?"

"Tomorrow, you can stay tomorrow." When Jiang Zhen asked him, Jiang Quan hurriedly said, seeing Jiang Zhen's bad expression, he quickly changed his words: "Let's work harder, maybe you can stay tonight."

"Okay, you can just pack it up for me tomorrow, where is your father?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"My father went to the yamen to get his household registration." Jiang Quan did not dare to hide it from Jiang Zhen at all.

"I understand, I'll get it done and bring it to me quickly." Jiang Zhen waved at Jiang Quan and asked someone to leave. He was still penniless and was wearing other people's clothes, but his attitude... was like Jiang Quan was his younger brother.

Jiang Quan didn't even think there was anything wrong. The people in their village were now afraid of Jiang Zhen. After Jiang Quan left Jiang Zhen, there was even a man who was hitting mud walls there and grabbed Jiang Quan: "I want to pee, can I go? Then Jiang Zhen wouldn't come to hit me, right?"

After Jiang Zhen came, they all wanted to escape, but they were afraid that Jiang Zhen would cause trouble for them, so they did not dare to run away. They could only stay and continue working tremblingly...

The fear is contagious. As soon as a group of people gathered together, they not only failed to pluck up their courage, but instead became more and more afraid.

With Jiang Zhen, the house was built quickly. When it was time for lunch, several walls were actually laid.

After the wall is laid, we will have to build doors and windows, then we will build beams and make the roof.

At this time, I encountered trouble again.

When people in the countryside build houses, they must prepare the wood made of beams and doors and windows early, but the Jiang family never planned to build a house for Boss Jiang. The houses of Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang were already built, so naturally they could not take out the wood for building the house.

Where is someone else's family? Although some people in the village have prepared all these things, they also want to build a house, so they are naturally unwilling to use the things for Jiang Zhen to use.

Jiang Quan, who was responsible for building the house, could not get the wood he wanted from Jiang butcher, so he could only look at Jiang Zhen in embarrassment.

Jiang Zhen had already moved a chair and sat down. He sneered: "If the house is not built, it doesn't matter. I will continue to live in Jiang Chengxiang's house. I don't know if the people from the yamen runner's family will come to him." As he said that, Jiang Zhen kicked Yang Jiang who was standing next to him.

Jiang Tuhuo used to dislike his eldest son, not knowing how to do things and not speak, but now he feels that the silent son before is simply amazing.

The people who came to help in the village looked at Jiang butcher Jiang, and some even blamed him all - if the yamen runners didn't let them go quickly, would they be captured by people from the city? Why didn't Jiang butcher Jiang know how to get things done quickly?

Butcher Jiang gritted his teeth and could only ask people everywhere with his legs and ask the villagers if there is any suitable wood that can be used. He is willing to spend money to buy a few pieces.

Because of worrying about Jiang Zhen, Brother Zhao went home at noon today and came here even more. At this moment, he happened to hear the butcher Jiang ask if there is any wood suitable for beams.

Brother Zhao Jin subconsciously said, "I have it at home..." His brother was already sixteen when he passed away. The family was about to build a house for him, so he had some wood stored. His father even picked up a lot of stones and piled them behind the house.

Later, his elder brother had an accident and his family was poor. He had the idea of ​​selling these woods. However, every family could cut down trees and prepare for such things. They couldn't sell them at the price, so they kept them.

After all, the butcher Jiang bought wood from the Zhao family, so Brother Zhao helped him come one by one. Whenever he came to the place where the Jiang family built a house, his eyes would float towards Jiang Zhen.

He kept looking at Jiang Zhen, but if he really wanted to meet Jiang Zhen's sight, he would lower his head in a hurry.

The villagers were much like Brother Zhao, but no one thought he was so strange. There was a man who had a good relationship with Brother Zhao and said, "Brother Jin, do you think Jiang Zhen is scary, right? Fortunately, I have never bullied him before."

Brother Zhao Jin responded vaguely, lowered his head and said nothing. He was not afraid of Jiang Zhen. After seeing Jiang Zhen, he couldn't help but remember what happened last night, and then his face felt a fever.

He was reluctant to go and see Jiang Zhen again.

As soon as Brother Zhao Jin brought the wood over, Jiang Xiaomei came and said tremblingly: "Yes...you can have a meal."

"Can you eat?" Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Xiaomei, and then shouted to the people present: "You all follow me to have dinner. After letting go of your stomach, don't be polite."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him: "Who dares not go..." Jiang Zhen didn't finish his words, but the threat in his eyes was clearer.

Others just think that Jiang Zhen said this to make everyone eat more food from the Jiang family, and only Brother Zhao, who was about to leave, was moved. Jiang Zhen, is this to let him go to dinner with him?

These days, Jiang Zhen has been telling him that he can't be hungry and always brings him food. Although they can't speak now, Jiang Zhen probably still remembers him.

Brother Zhao Jin felt warm in his heart, but the people around him didn't think much about it. They put down the various guys in their hands and followed Jiang Zhen to the Jiang family. Even if someone wanted to go to the toilet, they didn't dare to go, because they were afraid that Jiang Zhen would think they were leaving.

That was a guy who even dared to beat the yamen runners. He was so powerful in the past, but now he didn't even dare to let go of a fart in front of Jiang Zhen.

The group soon arrived at the Jiang family, and three tables had been set up here, which were borrowed by Mrs. Jiang and her neighbors.

When someone in the village wants to build a house, others will go to help. There is no need to pay for this, but these people must be better... Chicken, duck, pork, or pork, but there must be two bowls of fish and eggs, and vegetables cannot be boiled in water. They must always add some oil to stir-fry.

However... what Mrs. Jiang prepared was only pickled soup, cauliflower, and green vegetables, but there was not even a tofu.

Old Mrs. Jiang is a person who wants to save face. In the past, even if he was stingy, he still did a good job on the big side. But today... not only did he give all the money from his family to Jiang Zhen, but he also had to owe a lot of foreign debts. How could Mrs. Jiang still be willing to spend money on fish and eggs?

Everyone in the village knew about the situation of the Jiang family, but they didn't say anything. Jiang Zhen sneered: "You are going to give me these?"

"There is nothing at home." Old Mrs. Jiang said.

"That's your business, I want to eat meat!" Jiang Zhen said, holding the waist knife belonging to Yang Jiang in his hand and directly thrust towards Yang Jiang.

He didn't have this knife, and he would not hurt Yang Jiang with a scabbard, but he would also stagger.

Realizing that if he could not follow the evil star's wishes, he would be afraid that he would suffer. Yang Jiang shouted at Old Lady Jiang without hesitation: "Old lady, go and make meat!"

Old Mrs. Jiang was startled by Yang Jiang and went to cook. She just wanted to buy fresh meat but had nowhere to buy it, but there was actually bacon at home.

Not long after, Old Mrs. Jiang brought a bowl of fried eggs with bacon.

Sure enough, the Jiang family had to force him... The fried eggs with bacon were very fragrant. Jiang Zhen wanted to give Brother Zhao Jin some food, but he knew that he could not do anything in front of everyone, so he simply ignored Brother Zhao Jin and started eating it himself.

Yang Jiang stood beside him and kept swallowing, but Jiang Zhen didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to speak for what he wanted to eat. He just felt that he was so hungry that he was about to faint.

The official Yang Jiang, who stood there, had no food, made the people in the village eat tremble and look scared.

Noting this, Jiang Zhen took a bowl of boiled cauliflower and gave it to Yang Jiang: "You eat this."

Jiang Zhen did not give him food, but Yang Jiang was already satisfied with the bowl of cauliflower. He even felt that this bowl of cauliflower that was short of oil and salt was the best cauliflower he had ever eaten... He was really hungry.

Jiang Zhen ate two bowls of rice, then brought the remaining eggs and fried bacon back to the room and prepared to take a nap.

Before taking a nap, he specially put the scrambled eggs into the bamboo tube.

Yang Jiang saw this scene, but he didn't know what Jiang Zhen was going to do, so he didn't dare to ask, so he could only huddle in the house and hold his stomach without saying anything.

A bowl of cauliflower is not enough to eat at all. He is still very hungry now. Fortunately, the house is about to be built...

After swallowing, Yang Jiang suddenly missed his wife very much.

Although his wife was not beautiful but not ugly when she first married him, she became fat after giving birth to two children. She always asked around him and refused to let him go to gamble and drink. Gradually, he became more and more annoyed her and even didn't want to go home. He was not short of food or drink outside, and he had a good time. He lived a very comfortable life. What's the point of going home?

But now, Yang Jiang is still missing home.

Although his wife is fat, she cooks very deliciously. The two children are also very well-behaved, so his parents are even better with him...

Speaking of which, if Jiang Zhen hadn't threatened him to kill his whole family, he wouldn't have remembered the good things of his family. When he remembered, he would have missed homes more and more.

To be honest, his wife was devoted to him. If she knew that he was suffering here, she would definitely find a way to save him. But he had more than the little widow's love, and most of them could not remember him.

And his two children.

Yang Jiang had never cared about his two children before, and he knew nothing about how their lives were, but now he couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of Jiang Zhen's attitude towards his parents.

If his two children were not well raised and became like Jiang Zhen, what would he do when he gets old?

Even if he didn't become like Jiang Zhen, he became like himself... Yang Jiang suddenly remembered that after he became a yamen runner, he had never received money from home.

He suddenly became ashamed.

Next time he has money, he will take it home and teach his two children well... Of course, the most important thing is that his wife must make a pot of braised pork for him, and then eat it with fragrant white rice and two big bowls!

Yang Jiang swallowed his saliva again.

At this time, Jiang Chengxiang finally came back from the town.

He was exhausted and after entering the house, he sat down dejectedly on the chair.

He and Jiang Ping went to the county town to help Jiang Zhen get a household registration without any trouble. Because corvee service and military service were all based on household registration, the yamen wanted everyone to set up a separate household. But when he went to his house to get the money, he had a big fight with his wife.

Zhu Shufen refused to give him the money and kept crying. He persuaded him for a long time, but she was unmoved... Later, he had no choice but to do anything, and he made up his mind to rob him of the ten taels of silver that Zhu Shufen had in the box.

Zhu Shufen was furious and packed up his things and went back to his parents' home before he returned home.

Zhu Shufen's many things are still there... Jiang Chengxiang felt a headache.

Forget it, it’s already here, and it’s useless to think about it. He would have solved Jiang Zhen’s case first and then chased Zhu Shufen back.

After taking a nap, Jiang Zhen went to the place where the house was built and stared at it. By the time of supper, his house had almost been built, but it was empty inside, the stove had not been built and there was no furniture.

Jiang Zhen was still very satisfied with this progress. What made him even more satisfied was that after Brother Zhao came back from Zhao Dahu's house, he also came to help with the work and wandered in front of him for a long time.

Unfortunately, before dinner, Brother Zhao Jin ran away on the excuse of going home to chop wood, so he failed to kidnap people home for dinner.
