After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Although Zhang Yunniang heard the noise caused by Mrs. Cai and Jinbao behind her, she held back and did not look back.

However, Third Aunt Gu was watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal. She shouted to Zhang Yunniang, who was hurriedly running out with her child in her arms: "Yunniang, your stepmother fell, your nephew was burned, and your brother and sister-in-law are not at home. Don't worry. Run away and come back quickly!”

Zhang Yuniang turned her back to Aunt Gu. Originally, she had a bad relationship with her mother's family and didn't care about her stepmother and nephew at all. However, the country was governed by filial piety, and her husband had to take the imperial examination. The word "filial piety" was suppressed. If she didn't care about this, I'm just afraid that my husband will be gossiped about.

But if she really wanted to take care of it, she would definitely give these two people money to hire a doctor. If the money she spent was not returned, she would not even be able to spare a personal favor.

For the current plan, the only way to break the situation seems to be to have a more upright person than her appear to take charge of this matter.

Just when Zhang Yunniang was struggling, Niu Niu in her arms suddenly let out a warning, her face burning with pain: "It's... uncomfortable..."

Zhang Yunniang's heart tightened, and she immediately threw away all the entanglements. She was afraid that the child would be burnt and confused, so she would leave directly without caring.

Coincidentally, as soon as she took this step, two familiar figures appeared at the intersection. They were her brother Zhang Guangzong and her sister-in-law Xiao Cai.

He really fell asleep and came to the pillow. Zhang Yunniang hurriedly said to him: "Mom is injured. Jinbao seems to have been burned. Go back and have a look."

As soon as little Cai heard that her precious son was injured, she rushed home regardless of anything else.

Zhang Guangzong, on the other hand, stared at the child in Zhang Yunniang's arms with a gloomy look, stretched out his hand to snatch it away, and asked: "Where are you taking Niuniu?"

Zhang Yunniang had to be a little tolerant towards Granny Cai, because Granny Cai was an elder and it was not easy for her to contradict her.

But facing this younger brother who was no fun, she was not afraid at all. She acted like an eldest sister on the spot and said loudly: "What can I do with your daughter? Of course I want to hire a doctor for her! Is it like you? Watching people burn to death?"

Zhang Guangzong was taken aback by the eldest sister's sudden aggressiveness.

However, there were too many villagers watching the excitement around him. He considered himself a scholar and it was not easy for him to quarrel with a woman in public.

Zhang Yuniang stood on the moral high ground again and pointed, reprimanding: "Zhang Guangzong, do you have any conscience? You don't even worry about your mother getting hurt. You are still a scholar!"

These words were quite serious, so serious that Zhang Guangzong could not ignore them.

He glared at Zhang Yunniang fiercely, and then rushed home with an aggrieved look on his face.

Zhang Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief as this pile of rubbish was finally pushed out, and she hurried to the village entrance with Niu Niu in her arms, just in time to catch Uncle Niu passing by with his ox cart.

"Uncle Niu, wait for me, I'm going to the town!" Zhang Yunniang shouted towards the ox cart.

The bullock cart stopped. It was so full that there were no empty seats left.

But the aunts and daughters-in-law in the car looked anxious when they saw her holding the child, so they squeezed each other and barely made a seat available for her.

After Zhang Yunniang gave Uncle Niu a copper, Uncle Niu waved his whip and the ox cart started slowly.

Uncle Niu is not actually named Niu, but he is the only one in several nearby villages who drives cattle carts to carry people into the town every day, so he is called Uncle Niu.

Several villages are close to each other, and there is an aunt on the oxcart who knows Yunniang. At this time, she said: "Are you Yunniang, the little daughter-in-law of the old Gu family? My husband and your mother-in-law are cousins. You can just call me cousin. You You're so lucky. If the oxcart hadn't been delayed by something, the car would have left long ago and you wouldn't be able to get on. "

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly said: "Cousin, it's thanks to the kindness of everyone that they are willing to squeeze a place for me. Otherwise, I don't know what to do with the baby."

She didn't feel how lucky she was, and she only hoped that Niu Niu in her arms could survive this difficulty.

The cousin also noticed the child in her arms. Seeing the red face, she stretched out her hand to touch it and said, "Is this too hot? Don't burn the child. Is this your daughter? I remember your family. They are all sons, where is the daughter?”

Zhang Yuniang explained: "She is my niece. She has a high fever. I sent her to the town to see a doctor."

My cousin was a little surprised when she heard this. After all, people in the countryside live a hard life, and some poor families may not be willing to ask a doctor if their son is sick, let alone a girl, especially since this child is just her mother's niece.

"This child has a good life, and she has an aunt like you who cares about her." Although my cousin said this, she felt that Zhang Yunniang was too supportive of her parents' family.

Although Zhang Yunniang was a country woman who never went to school, she knew the lethality of fame. She continued without any hesitation: "If her life is really good, I won't have to worry about it. This child is solid, and her younger brother is naughty." She fell into the water. She was so small that she dared to rush into the river to save others. I don’t know where she got the strength to lift her brother out of the river. It took a long time for her to be fished out. "

"Her parents don't care about their daughter at all. I'm not willing to burn such a good child alive. Now I want to send her to the town to see a doctor."

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but feel sad when she talked about this. Niu Niu was obviously trying to save her younger brother, but she was accused by Mrs. Cai of being the broom star.

After hearing this, my cousin wiped away her tears and said, "Oh, from what you said, this kid is really a good kid. That brother and sister-in-law of yours are so cruel!"

Zhang Yuniang knew that telling these things was basically the same as ruining her brother's reputation. She did it on purpose.

She couldn't swallow this breath.

Just thinking of Niuniu's pitiful appearance lying in the woodshed, she seemed to see herself who was sick and driven to a corner by her stepmother to wait for death, and she immediately hugged the child tighter.

"By the way, speaking of your brother from your mother's side, isn't that Zhang Guangzong who picked up ginseng in the mountains a few years ago?" asked the cousin's aunt.

As soon as this was said, everyone in the car instantly stretched their heads over, and even Uncle Niu, who was driving the car, pricked up his ears.

A few years ago, Zhang Guangzong's picking of a hundred-year-old ginseng caused a sensation in several local villages. The villagers rushed to Daqing Mountain to try their luck, but all returned empty-handed.

Seeing Zhang Yunniang nod, the cousin's aunt became even more excited and said, "I heard that he used the money from selling ginseng to build a big house. Logically, he should not be short of money. Why didn't he save his daughter? If I had such a good daughter, I would hold her in my hands and cherish her. How could I bear to ignore her?"

"Yes, yes, such a person can pass the examination for a Tongsheng!"

Facing the chattering of the crowd, Zhang Yunniang smiled bitterly at the right time. From beginning to end, she never mentioned that Niuniu was an adopted daughter, but said, "Her parents only have money to eat and drink, so how could they be willing to spend money on their daughter."

Everyone immediately expressed their contempt. After all, if there was no money, it would be fine. If there was money, who would be willing to watch their daughter die.

"Uncle Niu! Uncle Niu!"

Hearing this vague shout, everyone turned back and looked at the entrance of Qingshui Village. They vaguely saw three adults holding a child standing there, but they were too far away and could not see their faces at all.

Uncle Niu stopped the ox cart hesitantly and said to Zhang Yunniang: "There are quite a few people from your village going to the town today."

Zhang Yunniang heard the familiar voice and immediately knew that these people were her brother's family. Before she could figure out how to stop them, the people in the car were unhappy and said: "Uncle Niu, look at this car, is there any room left? Why are you still carrying people?"

When Zhang Yunniang got on the car, the car could still fit people, but now there is really no space at all.

Uncle Niu said with a simple face: "Just squeeze in, and the seats will come out if you squeeze in."

The hot-tempered country lady never loses anything, and she confronted him on the spot, saying: "Where are you squeezing? Just squeeze us all off! If you want to take more people, then return the money, I want to get off the car!"

"Yes, if it's just one person, forget it, but there are three or four people here. I'm afraid I'll be squeezed off halfway! You want to pay if someone falls? Return the money!"

The people in the car talked at once, expressing all their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Uncle Niu was so annoyed by their noise that he could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, no more people!"

After saying that, he ignored the Zhang family members who were driving towards this place, waved his whip, and the ox cart moved towards the town.

The three adults and one child in the distance were overjoyed when they saw the ox cart stopped. It takes an hour to walk from Qingshui Village to the nearest town, but only half an hour to ride the ox cart. The adults were fine, but Jinbao, the child, kept shouting "It hurts", and the adults were so distressed.

They hurried towards the ox cart with the child in their arms, but before they took two steps, the ox cart suddenly moved again.

The family looked at this situation and was so anxious that Zhang Guangzong didn't even care about the politeness of a scholar. He ran and shouted, "Uncle Niu, wait a minute, we haven't gotten on the car yet!"

But Uncle Niu acted as if he didn't hear it this time, and waved his whip a few more times under the urging of everyone.

Zhang Guangzong chased for a long time, and saw that the ox cart was running farther and farther away. He was so angry that he couldn't help but wonder if Uncle Niu, the driver, was deliberately playing tricks on him. He kicked hard on a clump of weeds on the roadside.

But the next second.

"Ah!"

Zhang Guangzong jumped up on the spot holding his right foot. He didn't see it clearly just now, and kicked on the tip of the stone hidden in the grass, and his big toe suddenly felt a piercing pain.

Little Cai held Jinbao in one hand and supported Cai Pozi with the other. It was very difficult to support her. She was counting on Zhang Guangzong to help, but she didn't expect that her good husband would get into trouble faster. At this time, she covered her feet and performed the Golden Rooster Stand, her face twisted with pain.

The ox cart had gone far away, and they had no other choice but to support each other and slowly walk towards the town.

The place where Mrs. Cai's forehead was hit was still aching. She thought of the bad luck that had happened all day and felt that it was all caused by Niuniu. She asked viciously, "Did you find the person who brought that jinx?"

Zhang Guangzong didn't say anything. He was never willing to expose himself to these dirty deeds.

Little Cai replied, "Mother, my husband and I asked around. Wang Yuanwai's youngest son died yesterday. He just needs a little girl for a ghost marriage. However, he wants to see someone first and is determined to find a good-looking one for his son."

Mrs. Cai curled her lips and said, "This girl can marry into such a good family. It's really a bargain for her. Mr. Wang is so picky. How much can he offer?"

"Five taels of silver."

Mrs. Cai was very unhappy when she heard this and scolded Little Cai, "You only give so little? We spent a lot of grain to raise such a child! Didn't you bargain? I knew you were useless. You gave birth to a Jinbao after so many years of marriage, but now you can't handle such a small matter!"

Although Little Cai was Mrs. Cai's niece, she didn't have a high status in this family. She swallowed her anger and explained to her mother-in-law, "This year, the weather is dry and the price of grain is high. Only our Qingshui Village, which is backed by Daqing Mountain, can still live. People outside can't survive. Children are sold everywhere. Living people can't be sold at a high price, let alone dead people."

Mrs. Cai was still very dissatisfied, mumbling and blaming Little Cai for not being able to do things.

Little Cai turned her head and glanced at her husband, but Zhang Guangzong just limped forward, as if he had not heard these words.

The ox cart drove on the rural road for half an hour and finally arrived at the town. Before getting off the cart, Zhang Yunniang habitually touched Niuniu's forehead, was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed her aunt's sleeve and said, "Aunt, please help me touch the child's forehead. Is the fever gone?"

The aunt had also touched Niuniu's forehead before, and was immediately surprised, saying, "Yunniang, this child is really well-behaved. The fever has gone down as soon as she arrived in the town. This is to save you money. If you really go to the clinic, I don't know how much money you will spend!"
