Chapter 132 Anomaly Attitude

ps: Special thanks to my friends, @海月, Jin Archer, Borui Pianpai and other friends for their support.

"Ah, I have a crush on Su Xin and have a good vision. Go and find her." Shi Chuan waved his hand and continued to patrol his yard with satisfaction.

Everyone was busy in the morning, and Tofu Xishi was also busy opening the door to do business. The servants in the yard were busy making fires and cooking, the girl was busy dressing up and arranging today's duty. The three disciples in the yard were still digging holes, Shiteng turned around with his hands behind his back. He heard Gu Sanniang was still moving things in the next courtyard, but it seemed that the work had come to an end, because in the noisy sound, there were a few words of bargaining by the coachman.

There was nothing wrong with him, Shi Chuan walked to the gate, touching the door bolt with his hand, and was considering whether he wanted to go out for a walk, Huang E hurried out with Huan Niang: "Brother, it's better not to go out today. My uncle and father's old housekeeper should come over to visit. Brother, I don't know how to deal with it."

Shi Chuan slapped his forehead: "I remember, Mr. Hai gave me two small pistols. I may not always stay in the yard in the future. Wait, I will take a pistol for you to defend myself."

After walking a few steps, Shi Chuan stopped again: "Forget it, this thing is a dangerous thing. If you can't master it well, it will not be a good thing to hurt anyone if you leave the fire."

Huang E shook her head: "What my brother is saying is. I saw that the three black-skinned women were very strong. My brother came back from the East China Sea and brought such a heavy box. They didn't feel much trouble when they moved. With their strength, they wouldn't be able to harass them even if they came in. My brother didn't have to worry about going out to the streets in the future. My mother is not afraid of it, but..."

Huang E always spoke very well, but today she seemed very confused. Shi Chuan understood the other party's concerns and wanted to comfort her. Before he could think of the words, a knock on the door rang out. Everyone's eyes turned to the gate. A black child jumped over and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, several old women hired by Shi Chuan came in. The holiday ended. When they heard Shi Chuan had already returned and rushed to work.

After the women entered the door, they greeted each other a few words. The Indian butler Nash appeared. Shi Chuan handed the women to Nash to manage and let them return to their respective positions. Then, the door knocked again. Huang E heard the door ringing and her body shivered. She quietly approached Shi Chuan, and snuggled up to Shi Chuan, holding Shi Chuan's hand tightly. Her little hand was trembling in Shi Chuan's hand.

Under Nash's management, the work in the courtyard was clues. At this moment, Shi Chuan ordered that someone had already opened the door. Seeing that the old lady was so fast, Huanniang quickly covered her face with her little hands, shook her loose hair and shouted: "Oh, I haven't combed my hair yet, why did a customer come to the door early in the morning?"

Huan Niang was trying to delay time. The voice of Mr. Huang Yu was heard outside the door. He chuckled softly and said, "Okay, I'll wait outside the door. Huan Niang, it won't take too long to comb your hair, right?... Haha, Changqing, I heard County Magistrate Meng say that you are back this morning and there is nothing else, so I came and look around. Brother Changqing looks like everything is fine, so I won't disturb you."

Huang Yu obviously had something to say, but because Shi Chuan had a visit, he made an appointment for another day, stood outside the door and bowed, turned around and said goodbye. But although he left, the shopkeeper of the Huang family store stayed, and he squeezed into the door and rushed to the door and bowed: "Dalang, it's amazing. My shop is out of stock. Do you still have any reserves here? Support me. Now my shop has no samples, so I have to come to you."

There were a lot of people standing outside the door. Among the crowds, a servant dressed as an old Cangtou saw Huang E's figure outside the yard, and was trembling all over. Another middle-aged man in his thirties stood in front of the old Cangtou, behind the shopkeeper Huang. After hearing what the shopkeeper Huang said, he first stared at the back of the shopkeeper Huang carefully, then stretched his neck to look into the yard.

Shi Chuan and Huang E had already seen the crowd at the door clearly. Huang E's hands were shaking violently, and Shi Chuan had to stand there without opening his mouth. The middle-aged man waited for a while and couldn't stand it anymore. He bowed his hand to Shi Chuan, and then gently called Huang E: "E-mother, it's you. My uncle thought he wouldn't see you again in this life. Heaven has eyes."

The speaker was dressed simply and wore a blue shirt. Some areas were washed white. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Huang E. This appearance was considered as a literary show when he was put on a middle-aged man. And a middle-aged man with such a look was simply the best. He had to be graceful, experienced, and money... he seemed to be lacking.

As soon as Huang E's uncle spoke, the old man behind him couldn't help but jump out, and said in tears: "Girl, it's all the old servants' care is not well taken care of..."

Huang E couldn't help it anymore. She let go of Shizhang's hand and took a few steps forward, but then stood firm again. She asked in a trembling voice: "Didn't the Qian brothers be punished for this?"

Old Cangtou didn't care about answering, and rushed forward and hugged E Niang. He squatted on the ground and cried, and replied while crying: "When Miss Qin left, I promised to look after Miss Gu until the girl got married, but I didn't expect to make a mistake... Don't worry, the master has severely punished the Qian brothers and fired them."

Huang E snorted from her nose, the hum was extremely slight, and only Shi Chuan could hear it.

Shi Chuan heard that the two Qian brothers probably accompanied Huang E on the street and lost Huang E's servant. Huang E blamed her father for being too fast and fired the Qian brothers before the reason was found, so that the matter could not be proved and could not be traced.

Huan Niang had already put down her hand covering her face, and she also imitated Huang E to snuggle until she was in her arms, and bit her fingers and looked at Huang E enviously.

The uncle Huang E from the opposite side bowed to Shiteng and said, "My surname is Lin, his name is Xiang, and his name is Boyue. I heard that it was Brother Changqing who saved his niece and the student was polite... I don't thank him for his great kindness. The Lin family must remember this kindness in my heart."

Huang E's father is Huang Xiang, and his courtesy name is Hechen, and his uncle is Lin Xiang, haha.

Shi Chuan also returned the favor with a good reputation: "Brother Boyue, you are polite. I was also working hard for myself at the beginning, so why are you talking about kindness..."

There is a fixed pattern of meeting and greetings between scholars. Come and go politely. When Huang E and Lao Cangtou were crying, Shi Chuan and Lin Xiang had already arrived at the main house and took a seat. The shopkeeper of the Huang family store who followed him also occupied a lot and sat in the accompanying seat.

Because this was the first family member to come to the door, the girls also came out to hear the news and listened around the door. Shi Chuan first took out a account book and presented it to Lin Xiang: "This is the general reward for the government and the villagers of Haizhou. Now the money has been distributed to the girls. Brother Lin will check it."

Lin Xiang waved his hand: "I have heard of it in the county government that this is the bounty given to Brother Shi by the government. Brother Shi is willing to give one to the girls. It is already generous. The more you get the less you get, it is a kindness. I'll check what I do."

Shi Chuan was stunned. Why did this uncle's attitude different from what Huang E said?

After thinking about it, Shi Chuan suddenly realized: "Oh, the girls each took out some money from the bounty, gathered some elements, and did some small business, while supporting themselves. I also have an account book here, which is the account book of their business. Brother Lin, please check it out."

Lin Xiang stared at Lao Cang's head, his tone full of warning: "Girls investing in small business money comes from Brother Shi's bounty. Brother Shi is a kind-hearted person. We should not interfere with the amount of money or less.

In addition, what I mean is that since this industry is done by the girls themselves to make a living, I will not break it up in the future. I believe that Brother Shi’s reputation will be invested in Brother Shi’s industry as a girl. No matter what happens in the future, it will be considered a long-term investment. It’s just that I have to worry about Brother Shi and feel guilty.”

Shi Chuan scratched his head and suddenly smiled foolishly: "I don't care if I worry or not... Please forgive me, I really don't suit that kind of literary speech, so let's just talk plainly - how to manage E Niang's industry in the future, I'm not easy to make decisions. I don't know who has the right to make decisions..."

Lin Xiang interrupted: "Although from the perspective of law, E Niang has not yet married, and her money should be decided by her parents, this money is not E Niang's own. It comes from Dalang's bounty. Dalang is kind and willing to split a part to support the girls, so that's still the same - Dalang's return to Dalang, Dalang is willing to give E Niang a part, that's the matter between Dalang and E Niang, and parents are not inconvenient to interfere."

Shi Chuan understood. What Lin Xiang said was the unspoken rule of patriarchal society: the kidnapper was destroyed by Shi Chuan's hands, so this bounty was given to Shi Chuan by the government. It was nominally all Shi Chuan, and no one else could get a copper coin. As for how to divide Shi Chuan, it was Shi Chuan's private agreement with girls. Even if you go to the government to sue, no one can take the money away, and it can only belong to Shi Chuan.

So, in the future, whether Huang E or other girls present, their relatives want to reach out to this money, legally or humanly, Shi Chuan has the right to refuse their intervention.

However, this matter is a bit strange today. According to Huang E's words, it seems that this uncle Lin Xiang's intention is to compete for property. That's right, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, a woman has property rights. If a woman dies midway after she gets married and has no children to inherit it, then the property needs to be returned to her parents' home - this is stipulated by the law.

Huang E is now in this way. Her mother can be said to have children or not. Because in ancient times, men were superior to women and had no sons, which means that there were no descendants in the usual sense. Her uncle could have taken her sister's dowry back. At worst, she could take her sister's daughter home to raise her and then add a dowry to marry her out. Many cases of property disputes in the Song Dynasty were like this.

If my uncle is more cruel and keeps his sister's daughter out of the way... no one has any three disasters and six diseases, as long as the evidence is sufficient, the government will not be able to do anything about it, then the property will completely fall into my uncle's house.

According to Huang E's situation, her father married another stepmother, and the stepmother gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister. In this case, as a mother, she couldn't help but look at the property a little tighter and focused on leaving the money to her son and daughter. Huang E's father had already completed the family property before taking the imperial examination and had torn down, and Huang E's mother's dowry, so the current property of the Huang family was earned by her stepmother and her father.

The woman's eyes were insolent. The stepmother must have felt very painful when she thought of taking out the property to make up for the hole in her ex-wife's dowry. In this way, if her daughter's reputation was bad, she would just give her a shallow dowry and marry her to an ordinary family, and she would have nothing to do.

Therefore, after the abducted incident, Huang E would suspect this and that. Among them, her uncle was the most suspicious. In this case, the uncle on the other side looked as if he was considering Huang E, which was shocking.
