After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 23 Beaten

Zhang Guangzong was so angry that his nose almost crooked when he heard this. He touched the old lady. How dare they ask for her!

The Liu family didn't show any fear at all. They surrounded Zhang Guangzong's family aggressively. They didn't say anything about reporting to the official. They just kept saying: "We would like to go to the county to ask questions and help you make a name for yourself among the scholars." Everyone knows what kind of person you are, Zhang Guangzong, even the old woman in the village will not let you go!"

The reputation card played by the Liu family almost hit Zhang Guangzong's Achilles' heel.

When Patriarch Zhang saw that Patriarch Liu did not restrain his family members, he could only swallow his anger and whispered to Zhang Guangzong: "Either you will not take the scholar exam in the future, or you will consider yourself unlucky. If you meet this scoundrel family, we will There is no better way.”

It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Guangzong to give up the scholar examination.

One night when Niuniu was about half a year old, Zhang Guangzong once dreamed that he was the number one scholar in high school, paraded in the streets with hairpins, and was proud of the spring breeze. He was so happy.

Four years later, he still kept thinking about this dream. Even though he was just a boy now, he still firmly believed that he was the top talent.

So how could it be possible for him to give up the scholar examination? After all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, he gritted his teeth and said to the rogues of the Liu family: "Isn't it just a matter of compensation? I gave it!"

Patriarch Zhang felt terrible when he heard this.

Zhang Guangzong could promise to give him money, but he couldn't say it so happily. Chief Zhang originally wanted to help him negotiate the price, but the outrageous price of thirty taels obviously left room for bargaining.

But now that Zhang Guangzong is doing this, it would be good if they don't raise the price. The head of the Zhang family said that scholars are simply ignorant and don't understand the world at all.

The Liu family was naturally overjoyed. Mrs. Chen, who was crying about being frivolous, immediately stopped feeling sore in her legs and stopped howling. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face and grabbed Zhang Guangzong to demand money from him.

Zhang Guangzong was naturally very angry, but he also had a foresight and said: "It is okay to give money, but you must establish a written document. Your Liu family is not allowed to talk about this matter in the future. If I hear about it in the future, I will shout You go to see the official."

When Mrs. Chen saw that she had a huge sum of thirty taels of silver, she didn't care about such a trivial matter. She agreed in a hurry. They were also illiterate. After finding a literate person to help read the contents, they took turns pressing on the receipt. Mudra.

After getting the thirty taels of silver, after leaving the Zhang family, Mrs. Chen sighed to her eldest son: "The money Zhang Guangzong used to sell ginseng was said to be gone after building the house. It seems that it was all a lie, thirty taels of silver." The money was taken out without even scratching the surface. Maybe there are more hidden at home. "

Her son nodded vigorously and was more concerned about another issue: "Mom, we just took so much money and went to Lao Gu's house to get a cut of meat. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

Mrs. Chen lives an extremely frugal life. If it were normal, she would naturally not agree to this. But with a huge sum of thirty taels of silver in her arms, and seeing the pitiful looks of her children and grandchildren, she stamped her foot: "Buy! Today the whole family is here." I can eat meat!”

After hearing this, the younger members of the family immediately burst into cheers.

They spoke very loudly, and the Zhang family heard what they said in the yard.

Zhang Guangzong was so angry that he fell down again. He had sold Niu Niu to Gu Mingda and finally got five taels of silver. Now, before the money was warm, he was blackmailed by the Liu family and paid twenty-five taels. Two pieces of silver!

Now the Liu family took the money and turned around to buy meat from the old Gu family. In his eyes, this behavior was no different than the money returning to Gu Mingda's hands!

However, his son Jinbao, who was four years old, did not know that the adults in the family had just suffered a heavy hemorrhage. He only heard others discussing eating wild boar meat, and he immediately started crying and making trouble: "I want to eat wild boar meat too! I want to eat it! You go and buy it!"

When Mrs. Cai was able to control her daughter-in-law, she would never look for trouble on her own. When she saw Jin Bao making trouble, she immediately glared at Mr. Cai.

Little Cai had no choice but to squat down and hold her son Jinbao, who was like a little meat ball, in her arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Jinbao, be good, we won't eat wild boar meat, and my mother will make you plumeria."

But although Jin Bao was young, his temper had long been bad. He had to get what he wanted. When he heard this, his first reaction was to slap little Cai on the body and push him: "I don't eat plumeria." ! If I don’t eat frangipani, I’ll eat wild boar!”

Little Cai was unprepared and was pushed back by her son, staggering and fell to the ground.

Jinbao didn't feel sorry for his mother at all, and was still shouting: "I want to eat wild boar meat, go and buy it for me!"

Seeing that his family didn't agree, he simply rolled on the ground, causing the whole family to have a headache. Mrs. Cai was reluctant to scold her grandson, so she could only scold her daughter-in-law: "You prodigal woman, you can't even educate a child well, what's the use of marrying you into my family!"

Little Cai reluctantly got up from the ground. She didn't dare to refute her mother-in-law, so she could only lower her head and keep coaxing Jinbao.

But the more he coaxed Jinbao, the more enthusiastic he got, and the more outrageous he said: "I won't live if I can't eat wild boar meat!"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Cai felt heartbroken. What she cared about most were her children and grandchildren, and Jinbao was the precious golden grandson she had been looking forward to for so long. She didn't want to let him feel sad, so she said to Zhang Guangzong: "Guangzong, otherwise Pay some money and ask the villagers to cut some wild boar meat..."

However, Zhang Guangzong thought of the thirty taels of silver he had lost and the face he had lost due to the Liu family's harassment in front of everyone today. He suddenly became angry and disliked his son. He directly lifted the little fat man from the ground. Throwing him into the house, he said viciously:

"I let you make a fuss about eating wild boar! I won't give you dinner if you make any more fuss!"

Jinbao was locked in the room, crying and howling. The more Zhang Guangzong thought about it, the more angry he became. He slapped little Cai on the face again and cursed: "You can't even discipline a child, you loser!"

In the past, when Niu Niu was in this house, Zhang Guangzong would hit Niu Niu all the time when he was angry outside, and the others would be scolded twice at most.

Now that Niuniu was gone, little Cai remembered who her husband was, and was so frightened that she shrank like a quail.

Only Granny Cai, as her own mother, felt that she could not be beaten by her son. At this time, she still looked like an evil mother-in-law and kept fanning the flames: "That is, this mother-in-law gave birth to Jinbao after so many years of marriage. She left other people’s homes early and returned to her parents’ home, but she is dissatisfied and only knows bad things!”

As his mother wished, Zhang Guangzong raised his hand and slapped little Cai again, causing her hair to be messy and embarrassing.

As little Cai hid in a hurry, the first thought that came to her mind was that it would be better if Niu Niu was still in this home, then she wouldn't be beaten...

After the wild boar was carried down the mountain, it was sent to Lao Gu's house. Because the wild boar was already dead, no butcher was hired. Instead, Zhang Orion was asked to cut the meat among the people who went up the mountain together.

This pig was heavier than the Gu family estimated with their naked eyes, almost three hundred kilograms. The actual meat obtained after slaughtering was more than two hundred kilograms. Based on the head, each person could get fifteen kilograms of meat.

Counting the three children of the Gu family, a total of five people went into the mountain and got more than seventy kilograms of meat. As the main force in killing wild boar, they didn't even get half of the wild boar meat.

When Mrs. Gu watched more than a hundred kilograms of wild boar meat being distributed, the distress in her eyes almost overflowed. However, Gu Mingda had already let it go, even if she was dissatisfied, Mrs. Gu did not say anything to dampen the mood. At most, it was because I was too distressed to continue watching the meat-sharing scene.

In the room, Father Gu and the second roommates of the Gu family didn't care at all about sharing the pork outside, and they all surrounded Niu Niu.

With everyone staring at her, Niu Niu sipped the hot water from the cup and said repeatedly: "Grandpa, father, mother, eldest brother and third brother, I really don't feel any discomfort, I'm very fine."

Niuniu finished drinking the water, put down the cup, and jumped up and down, showing that she was really not injured.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Gu Mingda insisted: "It's better to go to the town to see the doctor. If you don't see the doctor, I will always feel uneasy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from the yard.

"Mom, this wild boar meat was obviously killed by our father, why did we share so much meat!" Liu Erni's voice was so loud that it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the room.
