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 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 those scoundrels from 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 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 patriarch of Zhang said that scholars are just ignorant and don't understand the world.

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 two cuts 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 listened clearly 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 from 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! 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 Jinbao 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 grandchild 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..."

But 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 today in front of everyone. 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 told you to make a fuss about eating wild boar meat! If you make a fuss again, I won't give you dinner!"

Jinbao was locked in the room and howled like a ghost. Zhang Guangzong became more and more angry. He slapped Xiao Cai in the face and scolded: "You can't even discipline a child, waste!"

When Niuniu was in this family before, Zhang Guangzong would beat Niuniu when he was angry outside, and others would be scolded at most.

Now that Niuniu is gone, Xiao Cai remembered what kind of person her husband is, and she was so scared that she shrank like a quail.

Only Mrs. Cai, as a mother, felt that she could not bear the beating from her son. At this time, she still looked like a wicked mother-in-law, and kept fanning the flames: "That's right, this woman has been married for so many years and has only given birth to Jinbao. If it were another family, she would have divorced and returned to her parents' home long ago. But she is not satisfied and only knows how to do bad things!"

Zhang Guangzong did as his mother wished, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Cai again, making her hair messy and embarrassed.

As Xiao Cai hurriedly dodged, the first thought that came to her mind was that if Niuniu was still in this family, she would not be beaten...

After the wild boar was carried down the mountain, it was sent to the old Gu family. Because the wild boar was already dead, no butcher was hired, but Zhang the hunter was asked to do the butchering and divide 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 300 kilograms. After slaughtering, the actual meat obtained was more than 200 kilograms. According to the number of people, each person could get 15 kilograms of meat.

Including the three children, there were a total of five people in the Gu family who went into the mountain and got more than 70 kilograms of meat. As the main force in killing the wild boar, they did not even get half of the wild boar meat.

When Old Lady Gu saw more than 100 kilograms of wild boar meat being divided, her eyes were almost full of heartache, but Gu Mingda had already said that he would divide it equally. Even if Old Lady Gu was dissatisfied, she did not say anything to spoil the fun. At most, she was too distressed to continue watching the meat division scene.

Old Gu and the people from the second branch of the Gu family in the room didn't care about the distribution of pork outside at all, and they all surrounded Niu Niu.

Niu Niu was stared at by everyone, drinking the hot water in the cup in small sips, and repeatedly said: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Third Brother, I really don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, I'm fine."

Niu Niu finished drinking the water, put down the cup, and jumped on the spot to show that she was really not injured.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingda insisted: "Let's go to the town to see a doctor. If we don't see a doctor, I'm always worried."

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 he give away so much meat!" Liu Erni's voice was so loud that it was clearly heard by everyone in the room.
