Chapter 1018: Sensible Daughter
After smoking a cigarette, Xu Hao patted Wang Siliu on the shoulder and left. Wang Siliu said to himself: "I should be content. The third master's worries are much greater than mine.%◇"
Even if Xu Hao was uneasy about what he was today, Wang Siliu knew that the world of big men was even more complicated and dangerous. All the common people who had experienced the Hongwu Dynasty knew that at that time, the people sighed and gloated about the frequent fall of powerful families.
I hope the Xu family can be safe and sound. Wang Siliu thought, if such a good family repeats the same mistake, God will be blind.
Wang Siliu knocked down his homemade pipe and stood up, thinking that thanks to his son pulling pig grass, the pigs that the old woman feeds grew more and more solid. When she used the free time of weaving bamboo baskets and dustpans in the morning and evening, she took them to the county to sell them for a good New Year. She also thought about the busy season of spring plowing next year, so she quickly finished her own fields and rented out the big bulls to work in other families. With the income of Xiaochun and Niugong, she would hold ten taels of cash in her hand.
It seems that as long as the weather is good and I will do this for another year next year, it will be no problem to redeem Master Tong’s acres of land in the year after that. When the land comes home, he still has the strength and his son can make great efforts, he will use the surplus cattle power to rent a few acres of land to cultivate. In two or three years, the situation of the Wang family will change drastically.
When Wang Siliu thought of the beauty, he was so happy that he lit up another bag of cigarettes. With more fields, he asked one or two long-term workers to help him. The fields were turned over and the profits were increased. In less than five years, he could enjoy the peace and happiness.
He felt that his ideal was very realistic and he was in front of him, just waiting to reach out to get it.
Wang Siliu walked home happily, but when he was about to approach the door of the house, he looked at the Tong family courtyard with a large tiled house. His heart was tight. His daughter was still suffering from the second young master's house for several months. He hadn't seen her come back once, how is the child doing now?
"Dad!" A familiar voice sounded not far away. Wang Siliu was shocked. Isn't this the voice of his daughter? Why did he hear her scream when he thought of her? Wang Siliu hurriedly looked back but did not see Xiaoyao's figure. He was panicked and suddenly had an ominous premonition. Could it be her child?
He hurried home, and he wanted to go to the Tong family's yard to ask Wang Laosan. How was Xiaoyao like?
"Dad, Dad." The scream became louder and clearer. Wang Siliu looked back this time and his daughter really ran up from the field and shouted: "Dad, I came to you as soon as I came back. I didn't see it in the fields at home. It turned out that you were squatting on the ridge of the field and couldn't see it."
"Daughter." Wang Siliu grabbed his daughter's little hand and asked, "Why are you here today?"
"Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and grandma said we should go home and reunite for one day." Xiaoyao replied happily.
"Okay, okay." Wang Siliu didn't expect that tomorrow would be the New Year, and he didn't expect that his daughter would go home to celebrate the festival. He hugged his daughter happily and went home, looking around at her pretty appearance, and couldn't say much happiness.
When he got home, Xiaoyao couldn't stand up. He stood up and insisted on helping his mother with work, and asked about the family continuously. Wang Zhu didn't say anything, but just looked at his sister foolishly.
Wang Siliu happily said to his daughter and asked, "Did you see our cow when you come back?"
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "As soon as I came back, I went to the cowshed to see it, and it became stronger and stronger."
"He helped my father a lot." Wang Siliu said with relief.
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You don't need to be a big bull to pull the plow."
"Not only this, when it comes, our family can do all kinds of crop work quickly and well, and we can earn cattle rent for us next year." Speaking of this, Wang Siliu suddenly frowned and murmured: "Thanks to you."
Xiaoyao was burning fire in front of the stove and sending firewood into it. When he heard his father's words, he couldn't help but shed tears and didn't say anything.
Mrs. Wang immediately noticed it, sat down next to her daughter and asked, "Young man, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's so smoke that I shed tears." Xiaoyao quickly covered up.
Wang Siliu didn't pay attention and still squatted at the door and smoked Ye Ziqi, talking about the good situation and prospects of the Wang family. "We will turn over in two or three years."
But the more Xiaoyao heard this, the more he remembered the hard days in the big yard, the more sad he felt, and finally couldn't stop crying.
After all, she was just a teenage child, and Wang Zhu couldn't see it. His father was still talking about his good dream and shouting: "Dad, don't say this."
"What's wrong?" Wang Siliu saw his daughter wiping his eyes and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Wang lifted Xiaoyao's sleeves with distress, and purple-black scars on his arms, including old wounds and new wounds that were red and purple.
Wang Siliu's heart seemed to be stuck in pliers, and he couldn't breathe. He stepped forward to grab his daughter's hands, looked at the scars, and shouted: "Ah! Why are they so cruel and perverted people like this?"
"If you suffer a child, it's all your father's." Wang Siliu hugged his daughter.
Xiaoyao cried sadly in his father's arms, and repeatedly choked and said, "Dad, Dad." The room was filled with crying.
Suddenly, Wang Siliu shouted: "No, I'm going to waste people like this, I want to make sense with them. I want to take Xiaoyao back."
Wang said sadly: "Which people pinch you and press your thumbprint in their hands, do you say you will beat them?"
Wang Siliu shouted: "I will refund their money and repay them with capital and profit. Can I do it?"
"You can't tell the truth about the kind of people in the big courtyard, let alone the people have evidence?" Xiaoyao learned about the power of the Tong family, and she didn't understand that there were even greater forces. She in turn advised her father, "Forget it, fortunately, there are still one and a half left, and I can always survive if I live or die."
Wang asked, "How did the Tong family treat you?"
Xiaoyao didn't say it all. If she had said that the hard life she had lived in the past few months would make her father crazy and her mother was angry. Why bother? The grandmother in the big yard was the second wife of the second young master of the Tong family. Her wife lived in the county, and the two were in a state of trouble.
The evil woman in the second house who was driven to the countryside was full of anger and had nowhere to vent her anger. She tried to vent her anger by telling her that she could not eat well or sleep well. She would not ask her to stop working, but she would have to pick the bones in the eggs. She would have to find the mistake even if she had no mistakes. Anyway, she would find a pair of small shoes for her to wear all day long, which would make you unable to hold her breath.
Then she scolded and beaten. Xiaoyao had not lifted up her trouser legs and untied her clothes for her parents to see. She was also the youngest, and the evil woman bullied her newcomer. Xiaoyao, who was a young man, only recognized one thing. No matter how hard it was, it would make her father feel comfortable and her family would get better and better. Then it would be worth it.
There is another thing Xiaoyao didn't say. There was a young young master from a illegitimate yard. He was always staring at this girl or touching the girl with his hands, looking vulgar. This is what Xiaoyao really worried about.
In the afternoon, Wang Siliu, who was eager to love his daughter, found Xu Hao, lowered his head and said, "Third Master, I will borrow thirty taels of silver from you."
Xu Hao immediately said, "Get fifty taels of silver here." He asked again, "Brother, what happened?"
"No, nothing, the old woman is sick." Wang Siliu's eyes dodged. He did not dare to tell the truth. Instead, he did not ask for help from his friends, but instead sent his daughter to the Tong family as a girl without telling her. He was afraid that Xu Hao would be angry and blamed him for not having enough friends.
But Xu Hao, who has always been careful, was not in the mood to ask about it at this time. Zhu Gaochi was terminally ill, and the old lady's health was getting worse, which made him feel panic when he was in trouble.
Wang Siliu took the silver and went to Wang Laosan again. Wang Laosan was very sympathetic and angry, but who dared to say that irritable grandma? He advised: "Brother, he doesn't care about this amount of money with a literary agreement. He even lost three points when he saw the official's right. Did you borrow this money? After finally having hope, let's ask the big girl to work hard. Which girl is not the same?"
Half an hour later, Wang Siliu came back dejectedly and repeatedly blamed himself, "It was all you were obsessed with and did something wrong."
After such an unhappy New Year, the carefully-wrapped dumplings tasted no taste. Xiaoyao was secretly sad, tried hard to pretend to be happy, told his parents a few jokes, and wanted to create a happy atmosphere to drive away the suffocation of the room.
At the same time, Gu Fusheng saw that his mother was still wearing the thin Sichuan silk cotton jacket, so he took out money to make some more fur clothes for his mother.
At this time, the aunts and relatives of the Gu family knew that he had made a fortune and everyone came to visit them. Gu Fusheng hurriedly prepared several banquets for the reception.
After drinking and eating, the aunt said, "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky! I used to love this nephew very much because of his talent and good looks. I know that he must be developed in the future. Now it is not? Hehe!"
My aunt also said: "As the saying goes, God will pay off for those who are determined. How much hardship have you suffered in the past few years? You should have such a good son. If you enjoy happiness for the rest of your life, we will no longer be as good as your family."
Mrs. Gu's face was radiant and said humbly: "Miss, sister-in-law, don't say such polite words. Fusheng has no great prospects. When his nephews and nephews grow up in the future, are they afraid that they won't go to school to pass the imperial examination? No, if we are not as good as Fusheng, if you learn some foreign words, you can only earn a few dollars."
"Oh, how could my sister-in-law say that?" My aunt shook her head, "In today's world, there are many people who know the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are very few who know foreign language. As long as Fusheng is easy to do, he is still afraid that there will be no official position? Nowadays, studying new studies is much better than old studies. However, Fusheng is not young anymore, so he should have a marriage for him early. Sister-in-law can't help but have a wife to serve him. Fusheng can't help but go out. When his sister-in-law has a wife, she is not afraid of loneliness."
