Because of the matter of Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang, Zhang Laoan has been feeling uncomfortable for the past two days. Hearing what Uncle Zhang said, he felt more and more angry. He said angrily: "What's wrong with your Third Sister and Fourth Sister? They have already passed the contract of life and death."
We are the Shen family, what does it have to do with your family?"
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground and said in surprise: "So, you really killed my third and fourth sisters?"
For a moment, those who were watching the excitement were also shocked, and the timid ones began to disperse.
If the answer to human life is really elicited, the Shen family's four bedrooms will not be safe, and they, the bystanders, will have to be detained in the Yamen to make personal testimonies at all costs.
Zhang Laoan was so angry that his face turned red, but he also learned a lesson. He did not dare to let Uncle Zhang continue to talk nonsense outside the door. He turned around and said to the male servants behind him: "What kind of uncle, uncle?"
He's suffering from hysteria, why don't you help him in quickly?"
"Hulala!" Five or six male servants came out and came over to drag old uncle Zhang away.
The children and grandchildren of the Zhang family were nearby, so they naturally refused to give in and became slutty within a few moments.
Uncle Zhang shouted, "Let's make it clear before we go in," but his body didn't resist very much. In the end, he half-pushed and was dragged into the door.
Zhang Lao'an did not go back immediately, but solemnly said to the people around him: "This brother of mine has committed hysteria and disturbed the peace of the neighbors. I am here to apologize to everyone on his behalf." After that, he pushed away the maid next to him.
With the help of his disciples, he helped everyone get down.
She was so old and senior, so everyone could not accept her courtesy and avoided her one after another.
The fast-talking idle man couldn't help but ask: "Lao An, where are the two young ladies of the Zhang family? There is no such thing as an emergency, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Laoan immediately blushed, glared at the man, and shouted: "The reputation of bad things is like harming people's lives. You just use your words to gain advantage. Are you trying to frame the Shen family? The Zhang family two
The young lady is married to the Shen family, and the marriage is arranged by the Shen family. Who else do you need to report to? If you feel uncomfortable, just report it to the Yamen and see if you can find out what happened."
That man was just talking fast for a moment, not to mention that it was impossible for the Shen family to actually commit a murder case as Uncle Zhang said; even if the Zhang sisters were really gone, what would it matter to him?
Isn't it easy to get into the Yamen? Although no one in the fourth room of the Shen family is an official, Shen Juren is an official. There is a big Shen family behind him. Who would offend his family after being full?
The man sneered twice, found an excuse, and ran away.
Zhang Lao'an was obviously "killing chickens to scare monkeys" when he showed off his idleness, which made the spectators feel bored.
Zhang Lao'an snorted lightly, then turned around and entered the gate surrounded by his maids and wives.
The door was immediately closed, and those who had stopped to watch the excitement dispersed in twos and threes.
However, everyone is a little interested in the Four-Fang Bagua and has made various speculations.
Where have the two young ladies of the Zhang family gone? Who doesn't know that Zhang Lao'an is the most confused person and has always favored his mother's family, so why are they falling out now?
Although I don't know what taboos the two young ladies of the Zhang family committed, this old man is really cruel.
Not many people would think that the fourth house was really a murderer. Because of the "deed" incident, they guessed that the two young ladies of the Zhang family were randomly married by Zhang Lao'an.
Why is it called "random marriage"? If the marriage is honorable, why hide it from the Zhang family? Everyone in the Zhang family is only grateful, so how can there be such a fuss?
Outside the gate of the fourth room, as everyone dispersed, calm returned.
In the inner courtyard of Zhang Lao'an's courtyard, there was a lot of excitement.
"I want my third sister or fourth sister? Who is this person?" Uncle Zhang entered the room, sat down on the main seat, and said arrogantly.
Uncle Zhang and Second Master Zhang also raised their chins and sat under Uncle Zhang. The younger brothers of the Zhang family have lived in poverty for a few years, and their adopted mothers and maids are all gone. Now their eyesight is a little weak, isn't it?
Looking at the furnishings in Zhang Laoan's room, he couldn't move his eyes away from the maid serving tea.
Although Zhang Laoan felt a little guilty, he hated the Zhang family for not giving him face and came to make trouble outside his house. He snorted coldly and said: "Are you an old fool? I gave you a thousand taels of silver, and it has only been a few days.
Don’t you want to admit the debt? If you can’t bear to part with your granddaughter, just return the banker’s ticket and come back to collect it.” Speaking of the banker’s ticket, the old lady immediately gained confidence: “Go and ask outside, how much silver does it cost to buy a person from this person’s place now?
?For one thousand taels of silver, a silver man can make a statue. Please return the money to the banker as soon as possible, and then we can talk about other things."
When Uncle Zhang heard "one thousand taels", his eyes were a little flustered. Uncle Zhang and Mr. Zhang next to him both made a sound in surprise.
"Isn't it five hundred taels?"
"Big brother said three hundred taels."
Father, son and brothers all puffed out their cheeks and glared at each other.
Zhang Laoan became more and more calm, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "It's really a case of friendship and hatred." I looked at the third sister, and the fourth sister was old and didn't even have a dowry. It delayed the wedding, and I am a aunt.
My grandma didn’t recognize her as her granddaughter until she saw it, and she worried about their sisters, but she made you scratch your nose and have nothing to say, so you went to make a noise outside the gate? Now you live in my yard and eat the rice I help.
, but come to settle accounts with me? Then it will be easy to settle accounts." At the end of the sentence, he already had a stern expression.
Uncle Zhang and Second Master Zhang were bullies and fearful of the strong. Since they were little, the whole family has relied on Zhang Lao'an's aunt to live their lives. When they saw the old lady's stern look, they didn't dare to respond and only looked at Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang's face turned green and white for a while. He took a deep breath, took out a purse in his sleeve, took out a few banknotes, patted them on the tables next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, I must see you."
You won't let us see anyone until you get the banker's ticket, right? This is 500 taels of banker's ticket. No matter whether you are the third sister or the fourth sister, I will call you out first. Even if it is returned to my house, I will accept it."
The person who was shocked this time was Zhang Laoan. The Zhang sisters had long been sold by Zheng.
In order to cover up her son's ridiculous things and prevent the scandal from happening, Mrs. Zheng will definitely sell her son far away. Where can she get him back?
After Uncle Zhang said those words, he stared at Zhang Lao'an. The two had been siblings for more than sixty years, and the one who knew Zhang Lao'an best was none other than Uncle Zhang.
Seeing her stiff face and twinkling eyes, clearly showing a guilty conscience, Uncle Zhang immediately felt at ease.
He didn't have much confidence in his heart when he came to make trouble today.
Now that the two families have signed a contract at the Yamen, the Shen family has the final say as to what happens to Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang, and I have no right to interfere with it. But the law is nothing more than human feelings, and he just gave up his granddaughter because his family was too poor to buy a dowry for his granddaughter.
She was sent to her nephew's house to be an adopted daughter, but she wasn't sold as a maid, so why couldn't she interfere?
The reason for his lack of confidence was that he was not sure whether his two granddaughters were still in Shen's house.
If he were still in Shen's house, he would become a joke if he caused such a scene, and he might also offend this sister. Only if he really offended Mr. Zhang Lao'an as the rumors said, and asked Mr. Zhang Lao'an to send him outside, would this happen?
Only articles can do it.
Those two granddaughters, one is gentle and shy, the other is lively and clever. They have been flattering Lao An for the past few years. How could they suddenly become angry? Even the Zhang family hid it, which shows that there is something inappropriate.
No matter what is wrong, as long as Zhang Laoan is afraid, the Zhang family will have hope in the future. Otherwise, the mother and son are getting more and more sad and cruel, and they will not care about the life and death of the Zhang family.
Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Laoan with a straight face and urged: "Sister, hurry up and collect the banknotes. Send someone to call you Third Sister and Fourth Sister."
Zhang Lao'an had already put aside his annoyance and showed a bit of helplessness: "Third sister, fourth sister violated the rules. I sent them to Zhuangzi to learn the rules. I have only been there for two days. How much trouble has it been? Wait.
Once you learn the rules in a few days, I will send someone to pick them up."
Uncle Zhang snorted coldly: "My two granddaughters were brought in by my sister to teach them, but they ended up teaching two people who don't understand the rules? Then tell me, sister, what rules did they miss that made her punish her so harshly?
"
Zhang Laoan felt like his head was "buzzing" and he could not hide his anger.
She couldn't sleep all night for the past two days, and her intestines were full of regret. She loved the Zhang family sisters as if they were her own granddaughters, but these two were trying to bring disaster to the Shen family. For their sisters, they made trouble for their son to have a concubine, baby
The eldest grandson was also beaten and scolded, and there was a rift between the closest relatives.
In other words, Zheng was quick to act, and if Zhang Laoan knew about it, he would not allow the Zhang sisters at home anymore.
Thinking that it was not his son who was lustful, but the Zhang sisters who went to seduce their elders, the Zhang family became enemies in the eyes of Zhang Laoan.
She glared at Old Uncle Zhang and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask? You taught two shameless little bitches to come out and provide me with good food and drink, but they were ungrateful and made my family uneasy. It was someone else."
I should have beaten them to death earlier; I just thought that their sister's surname was Zhang, so that they would not go to you to settle the score, but you have the face to come and make trouble?"
Although Uncle Zhang had guessed that there must be something wrong here, he just couldn't guess where the flaw was. Seeing that Zhang Laoan was not pretending to be angry, his voice lowered: "Are you going to recruit Brother Jin? Is this
What's the use of a little intimacy between cousins and brothers?" Thinking of Zheng's warm and generous attitude that day, he thought about something else: "But Zheng doesn't allow it? She is a concubine, and her sister is too flattering to her."
Zhang Lao'an was just furious, but he let it slip, and he already regretted it in his heart.
When she heard that Uncle Zhang was talking about his precious grandson, she didn't respond. She immediately lowered her face and said unhappily: "If you don't want to do anything about me, don't talk nonsense to ruin my reputation."
In this matter between a man and a woman, the woman is at a disadvantage, and it is just a romantic affair with the man.
Uncle Zhang only thought that his two granddaughters were related to Shen Jin, so he was not tolerated by the Zheng family.
Logically speaking, Zhang Laoan had originally intended to give his grandniece to his grandson-in-law, so he would not have reacted like this. It must be a big deal to make both Zhang Laoan and the Zheng family alarmed and on guard.
Shen Jin was discharged at the beginning of November, and it is not yet the end of the month. What worries Zhang Laoan and Zheng the most?
Uncle Zhang felt that he was immediately clear and had guessed the "truth". He looked at Zhang Lao'an and said confidently: "It was Shen Jin who was not careful in his filial piety and forced a good girl into adultery. How could it be the fault of my third and fourth sisters?"
?”
Zhang Lao'an was stunned by this "crime". It took him a while to wake up, and he pointed at Uncle Zhang's nose and said: "Okay, why are you trying to blame big brother? You can say such serious things casually.
?”
Uncle Zhang, however, sat calmly: "With just these few people in your family, why don't we go to provoke Brother Jin or Brother Rui?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lao'an's eyes dimmed and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's just what I said, it was the fourth sister who shamelessly provoked Rui Ge. Rui Ge was surrounded by people arranged by the eldest lady next door and the number one scholar. This
They were all thrown into a relative's house in disgrace, so I was so angry that I sent the sisters to the village."
She swore so confidently that Uncle Zhang suddenly stood up and said with a sneer: "Sister pushed the sewage on Brother Rui, did you feel guilty or not? How old is Brother Jin, how old is Brother Rui? How can a baby with no hair grow?
How to seduce? Does my sister regard everyone else as a fool? If my sister still says that, then go to the next door to confront her. If the lady next door responds and it is true, then it is because my Zhang family is not a good tutor and has not taught my daughter well, go
If I don't keep nagging about the harm to Brother Rui's health, the two sisters will be beaten and killed. Will my sister dare to come with me?"
Zhang Laoan's face turned red after being pushed, and his whole body was trembling.
This is a matter that should be kept hidden. Just now, the father and son of the Zhang family made a fuss outside the gate. I wonder if it will cause any gossip. If they go to make a fuss next door again, does it mean that Mr. Guo has a soft temper?
Given Guo's love for Shen Rui, if she knew that she had implicated Shen Rui in this matter, she would definitely be disobedient and would have to find out clearly.
Where is this matter prohibited from investigation?
The Zhang family did not know the details and had already used this as a threat. They must not reveal the slightest bit about it. But just letting Uncle Zhang put the shit basin on his precious grandson's head, Zhang Laoan felt that he must
Vomiting blood.
There was a stalemate in the room, Zhang Laoan was dumbfounded.
The faces of the Zhang family's father, son, grandson, and grandson all shone brightly.
Who is Shen Jin? The young talent of the Shen family, the lifeblood of Lao An.
He was obviously born a concubine, but he was blessed with great blessings. Not only was he named his legitimate son, but he also inherited a rich inheritance.
Everyone in the Zhang family wanted to get close to him, but that boy was a snobbery, and he was polite but only concerned about face.
A legitimate son who was named as a concubine and got a dowry from his legitimate mother, but forced his cousin to become pregnant during her filial period. If this happened, he would lose his reputation as a scholar.
Everyone in the Zhang family looked at Mr. Zhang Lao'an, thinking of the wealthy life in the past, and they all complained about Mr. Zhang Lao'an.
It is certainly the Zhang family's fault for cheating and selling the Sun family's dowry, but in the end it was not all in vain? Those properties were returned to the fourth house. It was the Zhang family that was robbed of the property by the Shen family, and it was also the Zhang family that was forced to sell even their ancestral land.
.
Zhang Lao'an did not say that he was not considerate of his parents' family and provided some extra money. Instead, he became more and more stingy, even skipping gifts between relatives.
Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with pride: "Sister, why..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Shen Juren threw down the curtain with a dark face and came in. He looked at Old Uncle Zhang and said, "To the end, don't go on. How much do you want to blackmail me? What's your price?"
Seeing Uncle Zhang's greedy look, Shen Juren snorted coldly: "It's just that before making an offer, uncle has to weigh it first. Will he be exhausted? How has the fourth house been tortured because of the Zhang family? Is there any money left on the books? Others
I don’t know, please don’t pretend to be confused, uncle? The worst is possible, and I don’t only have my eldest brother as my son.”
Zhang Laoan was standing beside him, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth so as not to speak, but his vision was dark and he fell down...
