It was night, and Lao Zhu's house, which had been bustling all day, finally became quiet.
Although the wedding held by Lao Zhu's family seemed a bit shabby due to the bad years, when the wedding team returned to the village and spread the news about what happened on the road, it added a bit of legend to the wedding.
The boss of the Zhu family fought against more than a dozen armed bandits with his bare hands, and it was a complete mess.
Now is the year of disaster, and many people who cannot survive have started doing business without capital. Therefore, the Qilu land is full of robbers. On weekdays, villagers must go out in groups.
Otherwise, no one would dare to travel far away at all.
If there is a young man with outstanding martial arts in the village, it will definitely be a blessing for the villagers.
Generally speaking, getting married in the countryside involves having a bridal chamber, but today no one dared to go to the bridal chamber of the eldest son of the Zhu family.
After all, the Zhu family's eldest brother's force value is too high, and the villagers will still have to rely on Li Jie in many places in the future.
Therefore, the aspect of having a wedding ceremony was simply eliminated because no one dared to start it.
After all the guests had left, Li Jie and his third son, Zhu Chuanjie, simply cleaned the house.
"Boss? Why are you still here? Go back to your room quickly. Just let the second and third sons do this kind of thing."
After seeing off the last group of guests, Wen Ta Niang returned to the courtyard with a smile. When she saw the boss cleaning the house, she immediately urged Li Jie to go back to his room.
Suddenly, Wen's mother realized that Zhu Chuanwu was not at the scene. She frowned slightly and said.
"Huh? Where is the second child? Where did he go?"
The third child, Zhu Chuanjie, stopped what he was doing, picked up the broom, shook his head and said.
"I don't know."
Li Jie knew where Zhu Chuanwu had gone. Before, Zhu Chuanwu was busy seeing off guests. A middle-aged man with an unshaven beard took advantage of the darkness and pulled Zhu Chuanwu away.
Relying on the memory in his mind, Li Jie also recognized that person. The other person was none other than Uncle Chunshan from the original drama.
Uncle Chunshan, whose real name is Zhu Chunshan, from the name you can tell that he has some kind of relationship with Zhu Kaishan.
This is indeed the case. Zhu Chunshan is one of the distant relatives of the old Zhu family. At the same time, he is also one of the people with whom Zhu Kaishan has the strongest relationship.
At that time, Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Chunshan went out to work together. Both of them participated in the Boxer Rebellion, but Zhu Chunshan was not as famous as Zhu Kaishan.
Therefore, when the Qing government convicted Zhu Chunshan, he missed it and did not write it on the wanted list.
"Boss, have you seen your brother?" Wen's mother glanced at her eldest son and asked.
"I didn't see it either."
Li Jie smiled and shook his head, but did not tell the truth. Anyway, Zhu Chuanwu and Zhu Chunshan would be coming over later. Whether they said it or not, it didn't matter.
"This kid knows how to be lazy!"
Seeing that neither the eldest nor the third eldest brother knew where Zhu Chuanwu was, Wen's mother thought that Zhu Chuanwu was lazy again, so she couldn't help but mutter a few words.
At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly opened with a creak. Everyone turned around and saw Zhu Chuanwu walking in with an unshaven middle-aged man. The man seemed a little nervous and walked around.
What are you observing.
Wen Ta Niang recognized the man's identity at a glance. In an instant, she felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart. She was happy that the man might be able to bring news about Zhu Kaishan, but worried that she was afraid that the news would be bad news.
For example, Zhu Kaishan is gone.
"Chunshan, why are you here?"
Mother Wen didn't even notice that when she said this, even her tone of voice was trembling.
"Sister-in-law, I just came back from outside the customs. Let's talk in the back room."
"Hey, okay."
Mother Wen subconsciously responded and pointed to the bedroom.
"Sister-in-law, I came back secretly. Brother Kaishan asked me to send a letter home."
Everyone came to the back room and sat on the Kang one after another. Zhu Chunshan patted the bag he had just put down while talking.
"Everything is here."
After hearing the news that Zhu Kaishan was safe, Wen Ta's mother was stunned at first, and then said overjoyed.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
Zhu Chunshan looked puzzled and said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How could I lie to you?"
"Pass the message, hurry, hurry, open the thing."
Wen Ta Niang immediately pointed excitedly at the small cloth bag on the table.
"Hey, that's great."
Li Jie nodded with a smile, immediately unsealed the bag and poured out the contents.
The contents in the bag were no different from those in the original drama. They were all mountain products such as pecans and wild pine nuts. In addition, there was also a small item wrapped in paper.
"Wow!"
When Zhu Chuanwu and Zhu Chuanjie saw a table full of wild products, they immediately exclaimed. In these days, they can't even eat enough, let alone eat these wild products.
Then, the two people immediately stretched out their paws, each grabbed a handful of mountain goods and put them into their pockets.
On the other side, Zhu Chunshan smiled and felt happy and sad at the same time when he saw the greedy looks of the two boys.
The two boys had this kind of reaction, which was obviously because they had never eaten these things. However, he and Zhu Kaishan were outside the customs. Although they were not doing very well, with their ability, they still had no worries about eating and drinking.
'Huh?'
Suddenly, Zhu Chunshan noticed Li Jie standing beside him. He saw Li Jie's face was calm and he took out the small paper bag from the mountain goods with a calm expression.
"Uncle Chunshan, is this the letter my father sent back?"
"Um."
Zhu Chunshan nodded and thought to himself at the same time.
'This Chuanwen has really grown up, and he is somewhat similar to Brother Kaishan.'
In fact, Zhu Chunshan returned to Zhujiacun this afternoon, but his identity is relatively sensitive now, and it is really inconvenient for him to appear openly in front of outsiders, lest he be reported by interested people.
Therefore, he waited until all the guests had left before coming to the door.
Not long ago, he just learned from Zhu Chuanwu what happened on the way to the wedding today. Combined with the scene happening now, Zhu Chunshan couldn't help but sigh.
'Brother Founder, there is a successor.'
When Wen's mother heard that the thing in Li Jie's hand was a letter from her husband, she quickly urged: "Pass the letter, read it to mother quickly and see what your father said in the letter."
As soon as these words came out, the two boys who were busy grabbing snacks immediately turned their eyes and looked at the elder brother eagerly.
Obviously, these two boys also wanted to know what was going on with their fathers.
"Okay, I'll read it to you right now."
After saying that, Li Jie opened the small paper bag. As expected, there were more than ten yuan in it. However, Li Jie didn't care about the money. He put the money aside and started reading the letter.
In the letter, Zhu Kaishan first expressed his longing for him, and then told his family that he had established a foothold outside the customs and planned to let Wen's mother take the children to live a good life outside the customs.
