The second room stayed in Qingshui Village for another two days, and Zhang Huiniang's family did not dare to disturb her again.
On the other hand, Mrs. Cai always criticized Zhang Yunniang and her husband whenever she met. However, it was only a few days since the last time the Liu family was visited by officials. People in the village just listened to what Mrs. Cai said and did not dare to agree with it at all.
If he met someone who had been favored by Gu Mingda, he would quarrel with Mrs. Cai on the spot. If he met someone with a bad temper, he would even hit them with a broom.
Mrs. Cai's plan to ruin her son-in-law's reputation in the village failed completely. Instead, the villagers discovered that there was a missing person in her family.
"Where's Jinbao? Auntie, your Jinbao hasn't shown up for several days. He took away my stone slingshot and he hasn't returned it yet."
Listening to the village women begging for something on the spot, Mrs. Cai felt uneasy for a moment.
"He's not feeling well and is resting at home." Mrs. Cai hesitated.
The woman frowned and said, "Why do you feel uncomfortable during the Chinese New Year? It's bad luck. Don't forget my stone slingshot. His father made it specially for him. If you borrow something from someone else, you must return it early!"
Before Mrs. Cai answered, someone said: "Auntie, your Guangzong owed me five silver coins before. Even though he was arrested, the money still needs to be repaid!"
Mrs. Cai glanced at the person who spoke. She was one of Zhang Guangzong's friends. She was not sure whether it was true or not.
"I'll ask Guangzong later." Mrs. Cai said this, but in fact she had no intention of paying it back.
However, among the people watching the excitement, some cunning people took advantage of the crowd and tried to fish in troubled waters, shouting: "Zhang Guangzong also owes me a tael of silver. I will repay it to my son and my mother, so don't try to ignore it!"
Granny Cai glanced at this man. He was a well-known scoundrel in the village.
"Stop talking nonsense, my son won't associate with you at all!" Mrs. Cai didn't admit it.
But she didn't know if she was being unlucky or not, these words had the opposite effect.
"This thief woman wants to default on her debt. No wonder she raised a son who is in jail. His upper beam is crooked and his lower beam is crooked! Your son deserves to be beheaded!"
When Mrs. Cai heard this, she was so angry that her eyes were red and she said, "Your son was beheaded just now! It was just that the Yamen asked him to ask something, and he was released in two days!"
It's a pity that no one believes this.
"You thief, you were never a good person before. She stole my chickens!"
The crowd was noisy, and more and more people were fishing in troubled waters, and they all rushed towards Granny Cai.
The messy scene at the entrance of the village shocked the Gu family.
The Gu family came to see him off today.
Gu Mingda went to the county yesterday to find a place to live, and today he brought a carriage back to pick up people and set off.
"Niuniu, when you get to the county, don't forget that we are the best!" Gu Daya grabbed Niuniu's hand and warned her again and again.
Gu Xiaoya said to Niuniu from the side: "Don't remember this, we are the best!"
Seeing that this topic seemed to be endless, Niu Niu thought about the answer to this question very seriously during this period, and said to her two cousins very seriously: "I'm sorry, my mother and I are the best friends."
The two sisters were stunned when they heard this.
Niuniu thought of the two people's personalities and comforted her: "Next time I come back, I will bring you delicious food, okay?"
When they heard that there was food, the two of them nodded reluctantly, each still holding Niu Niu's hand.
Gu Daya said: "Even if you are not the best with me, you must be the second best with me."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoya was also making a fuss about this matter, Niu Niu's head almost exploded.
Zhang Yunniang hugged Niu Niu from behind tenderly, smiled and took the hands of her two nieces, and warned: "You should also listen to the adults at home, go out to play normally, don't go to places with few people, and try to have as many children as possible together. …”
Gu Daya and Gu Xiaoya actually like Zhang Yunniang, a generous and beautiful elder, but no child likes to listen to their elders talking.
This time, the melon seeds in their little heads were about to explode. The two of them pulled their little hands out of Zhang Yunniang's palm and quietly took a few steps back.
The carriage started moving slowly. Zhang Yunniang held Niu Niu in her arms and looked towards the entrance of the village from the opened curtain of the carriage. She happened to meet the eyes of Granny Cai in the crowd in mid-air.
Mrs. Cai was surrounded by a group of people to collect debts. When she saw that her former stepdaughter was now in a respectable position and her granddaughter Niuniu, who was being trampled on at will, was also being carefully cared for, many memories that had been deeply buried in her mind suddenly surged up.
She still remembered that her son and daughter-in-law had just brought Niu Niu back from outside. She was so looking forward to her grandson that her eyes were green, but her daughter-in-law hadn't gotten pregnant for five years since she came here.
Even though she was a girl, even though she was not her biological child, when she saw the white and tender baby for the first time, she still felt a bit of love for her.
Not long after the child was adopted, the daughter-in-law, who had been infertile for many years, became pregnant.
Zhang Guangzong was bored and went into the mountains to enjoy the scenery, but unexpectedly dug up a century-old ginseng.
He earned a lot of money from selling ginseng, and his son rarely took the whole family to the city to play.
It was her first time riding a carriage. She was sitting on the carriage with her granddaughter in her arms. Just like Zhang Yuniang did at this moment, she opened the curtain and looked at the villagers outside. She actually had an illusion, as if she was not the village woman Cai, but aloof. Mrs. Cai.
It was one of the few shining moments in her life.
The daughter-in-law is greedy, and the expensive supplements go into her stomach like water. The son is not a person who knows how to save. The family has built a new house, and he spends a lot of money selling ginseng.
Just after the family lamented that they had no money to spend, Zhang Guangzong went out and picked up a small package on the road outside the village, which contained thirty taels of gold.
As soon as he returned home with the gold, Jinbao was born.
Mrs. Cai still remembered how ecstatic her son was at that time, and named her grandson "Jinbao" on the spot.
Because they spread the news of making money from selling ginseng, many people asked Zhang Guangzong to borrow money, and the Zhang family finally learned to be smart and never told anyone about picking up gold.
So outsiders didn't know that the Zhang family was actually very wealthy. It was precisely because of so much gold that Zhang Guangzong had the money to bribe County Magistrate Gou and got the title of a student.
When picking ginseng, Xiao Cai found out that she was pregnant; when picking gold, Jinbao was born.
The Zhang family naturally thought that Jinbao was a blessed child, thinking that he brought gold and silver to the family, and the whole family doted on him.
At the same time, Niuniu grew up day by day, and her appetite became bigger and bigger. With a grandson, she naturally disliked the granddaughter she picked up, and the family abused her as much as they wanted.
When Mrs. Cai thought of this, she couldn't help but cover her chest. She remembered what her son said at home before he was caught, saying that they mistook pearls for fish eyes and lost the real blessing.
"This was originally... my... my family's blessing..."
Mrs. Cai stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the carriage that Niu Niu was riding.
But the carriage went farther and farther, slowly disappearing at the end of the road.
