"Juan'er!" Aunt Cui shouted and rushed forward!
"Wang Tiecheng, you bastard! Juan'er has already reconciled with you, what are you doing to keep pestering her again! Let me go, let me go!"
Seeing the three of them making a mess, the children's cries, the women's curses, and the men's cries of pain from time to time, all mixed together!
Huang Liang and Hu Shun were caught off guard by this unexpected situation. After being stunned for a long time, they realized that the woman who was snatching the child was the Jiang Juan they were looking for!
"Cousin, what should we do now?"
"We can't just sit there like this, let's go over and help!"
Just as Huang Liang was about to step forward, Hu Shun grabbed his arm and pulled him back: "Help...who are you helping?"
Huang Liang lowered his voice and glared at Hu Shun: "Are you fucking stupid? You don't know who we are looking for? Who do you want to help? Help the other side. Then Jiang Juan can still cooperate with us?"
"oh oh!"
"Oh shit, hurry up and push that man down for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the two people rushed over. Hu Shun hugged Wang Tiecheng's body from behind. Huang Liang went to break his hand holding the child. Wang Tiecheng was already thin and could not withstand the siege of two big men. However, In a moment, Huang and Hu were pinned to the ground!
Jiang Juan hugged the crying Xiaobao tightly. Aunt Cui protected her daughter and grandson and immediately retreated to a safe area.
Jiang Juan, who was still in shock, realized that the two men who rushed out at some point did not care so much. After checking whether Xiaobao was injured, Jiang Juan hurriedly looked at Aunt Cui: "Auntie, how are you? Are you okay? Where is it hurt?"
Aunt Cui smoothed her messed up hair: "Auntie is fine, Juan'er, did you let that beast get hurt?"
Jiang Juan shook her head and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared over there: "Aniang, who are they?"
Aunt Cui looked at her daughter with some doubts: "Ayi's friend said he came to talk to you about paper money. What, you don't know Juan'er?"
"Cousin's friend?" Jiang Juan looked at the two people over there suspiciously. She had never heard from her younger brother Jiang Quan yesterday that her cousin and sister-in-law had something to explain!
Seeing the Jiang family's mother and daughter looking towards him, Huang Liang, who had already stopped and stood up straight, punched Wang Tiecheng several times, who was pinned to the ground by Hu Shun. Finally, he seemed to be upset and punched his leg. Kicked twice!
After the beating, Huang Liang glanced at Jiang Juan secretly, and then fiercely threatened the man on the ground: "If I see you bullying Jiang Juan again, I will fucking destroy you!"
Wang Tiecheng, who was lying on the ground, kept wailing. He didn't have any thoughts about asking for money at this time. He just nodded randomly and begged for mercy again and again: "I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore! Please forgive me, my dear man, please forgive me this time." !”
Huang Liang signaled Hu Shun to let Wang Tiecheng go, and before he could get up from the ground, he kicked him on the butt again: "Get out of here!"
Seeing that Wang Tiecheng had run away, Jiang Juan handed the little treasure to Aunt Cui to hold. She took a few steps forward and thanked them: "Thank you both for your help."
Huang Liang waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter. Miss Jiang Juan, don't take it to heart. If he dares to come again in the future, just go to Wufang Village to find my cousin Hu Shun. I will beat him until his mother-in-law can't even recognize him!"
Wufang Village? Hu family? That's not... Jiang Juan's face turned cold: "Who are you?"
When Huang Liang saw this, he knew there was no need to lie anymore: "Since Miss Jiang Juan has already guessed it, I'll tell you the truth! I heard that you are making paper money for the Chu family's shop, and I want to talk to you about cooperation. thing."
"I have nothing to discuss with you, and I don't want to cooperate."
Jiang Juan didn't want to say anything more to the other party, so she bent down to pick up the food box that had just been knocked over to the ground, and was about to go home with Aunt Cui.
Huang Liang behind him shouted: "Wait a minute! I can give you more money!"
Huang Liang said, ran a few steps forward, and stopped the Jiang family's mother and daughter: "You can do it for the Chu family, and you can do it for me. I will double the wages the Chu family gives you!"
"Auntie, let's go."
Huang Liang stopped the two adults and one child again: "If you don't want to do it because of your relationship with the Chu family, you just need to tell me how to make paper money. The price... the price is up to you, how about it?"
Aunt Cui finally knew who these two people were. It turned out that they were the damaged goods that made her nephew and his wife's business difficult and even had their backs stabbed by the villagers!
"You scum! How dare you lie to me just now? How dare you come here even though you know our relationship with the Chu family! Are you still shameless?"
Huang Liang ignored Aunt Cui who was cursing him. Whether this thing can happen or not is not up to the old woman! Once he convinces her daughter and she knows how to use paper money, it won't be too late to deal with her!
"What about relatives? Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. The money in your hands is the most reliable! As long as you nod, we can easily discuss the price!"
Jiang Juan turned around and faced Huang Liang, crossing her arms in front of her chest: "Okay!"
"Juan'er! Are you crazy? We can't do such immoral things! A Yi and his wife are very kind to our family!"
Huang Liang clapped his hands and smiled: "Hahaha, good! You are a smart man!"
"One hundred thousand taels of gold, you give me one hundred thousand taels of gold, and I will teach you how to do it!"
Hu Shun's face changed drastically when he heard this: "Are you crazy?"
"I think you are the ones who are crazy! Auntie, let's go."
Only then did Huang Liang realize that Jiang Juan was just teasing him: "Jiang Juan! Don't you know how to flatter me? When I make the Chu family dirty, you will be the one begging to come work for me!"
"You are like you, and you still want to make my nephew's shop dirty? Bah! I only went to your house to buy things when I was blind, you scum!"
After saying that, Aunt Cui pulled Jiang Juan and left without giving the two people a chance. Until she closed the door of her courtyard, she was still cursing those two evil things!
In the afternoon, Jiang Juan came to the store to deliver the goods and told Shen Luzhu that Hu's store was looking for her, but she still hid Wang Tiecheng's entanglement with her.
Ever since Chu Ren came back from Fucheng to take the exam at the end of August and planned to stay at home for a while, Mrs. Wang has been hanging around her son at home all day, and the number of visits to her old house has become less and less.
But in the past few days, seeing that it was time for the results of the provincial examination to be released, the closer the day came, the more Wang could not stay peacefully, so she could only run to her old house all day long to find Grandma Chu.
"Auntie, tell me, we have returned the pendant for so long. There should be no bad luck or anything like that at the moment. Has it affected our family?"
Chu A'nai rolled her eyes at Mrs. Wang: "You ask me, who am I going to ask? I said can you say something else? I come here every day and ask every day. If you don't bother me, I will still bother you!"
Grandma Chu was also worried about whether her eldest grandson would succeed this time, but she couldn't stop Mrs. Wang from asking every day. She was not a fortune teller, so how could she see that the black energy was still there?
"You can't tell others about this!"
Mrs. Wang didn't feel embarrassed at all. After she finished speaking, she remembered something and moved closer to Grandma Chu. She smiled happily: "But I think everything is fine. Mom, look at how unlucky Mr. Shen has been recently. One thing happened after another. First, Wufang Village also opened a paper money shop, and then they got into a fight with Feng Zizi and his mother-in-law. Now the business is even more deserted! Look, it was probably her who took the pendant to herself. Wear it, this black energy is coming to her now!"
Mrs. Wang only figured this out yesterday. Her daughter Chu Fang ran home and talked about the recent major events in the village. She said that Ms. Shen and Chu Yi deserved it, but it would be their turn to be unlucky next time. Okay, let’s see if they are still rude in the future!
When Wang heard that, yes, why was this Shen so unlucky recently? It seems that it was not long after she returned the pendant. Could it be that the black energy has transferred?
Grandma Chu looked at Mrs. Wang in disbelief: "It's just nonsense, how can Mrs. Cui harm her daughter-in-law?"
"What's wrong with that? Mrs. Cui has never seen her before. Besides, there are a few old ladies who like their daughters-in-law! I think Shen's shop is about to come to an end!"
"Why are you so happy?"
Auntie Chu looked at Mrs. Wang strangely: "The shop has gone bankrupt, what benefits can you get? Don't say I didn't remind you, the shop is open, but you still have to pay the family three taels of silver every month Yes, it's yellow, where can you get me three taels every month? Ah Ren still has to continue studying and get academic honors!"
"Aniang! That black energy has already gone to Mrs. Shen. Without its hindrance, how could we, Aren, still fail the exam? By then, Aren will be the master of the people's education system. He won't even have to kneel down when he sees the county magistrate. It can also exempt ten people from labor and hundreds of acres of land tax! Grandma, think about it, how much money it costs, who can think highly of Shen's two or five taels!"
The more Ms. Wang talked, the more proud she became, as if she had already seen the lively scene of officials coming to deliver messages to her home!
Seeing what Wang said so beautifully and confidently, Grandma Chu also fell into a beautiful fantasy!
This year's rural examination will not be released in Fucheng until around September 15th. After that, the officials will take excerpts and send them to the counties. After the county offices have copied them, they will go to the towns and villages and give them to the newly promoted candidates with gongs and drums. Let's report the news.
Even if the official was riding a fast horse, he would be delayed for four or five days on the road. As soon as Wang made a move, the black energy had already transferred to Shen Luzhu, who would no longer hinder Chu Ren's imperial examination, so he reported the official official on the back. The firecrackers to be set off that day and everything needed to set up the banquet afterwards were all prepared!
This time Wang was so confident that even Chu Ren's words of obstruction could not dampen her enthusiasm.
"Auntie, it's too early to prepare these things now. My son is not even sure whether he can win!"
Wang smiled mysteriously at Chu Ren: "You don't understand. I believe you are right. You will definitely win this time!"
Naturally, Mrs. Wang’s big move couldn’t be hidden from the gossip-loving villagers in the backing village. What’s more, Ms. Wang’s nostrils turned up when she saw everyone recently. That day, she even had a quarrel with the owner of a pork shop who couldn’t stand her. One!
It didn't take long for people to start speculating that the eldest grandson of the Chu family must be sure of success this time. Otherwise, there would still be no confidence at all. Why would his wife, Mrs. Wang, start preparing for this?
Amid Wang's excitement and the curiosity of the villagers, the days passed by in late September. It was supposed to be the time for the official messenger to deliver the message, but it was said that it was a remote village, and even Changshui Town was not moving at all. nothing!
Chu Ren couldn't help but feel a little flustered. His mother-in-law had such a big battle this time. If she missed, she would be really embarrassed!
On September 22nd, some villagers went to the town to attend the market. Several people who were traveling with them happened to be in the east of the town. They came across the scene of officials delivering letters to newly promoted candidates. They watched the excitement and went there specially when they came back. Visit Uncle Chu’s house.
"Is anyone from the Chu family here?"
Mrs. Wang opened the courtyard door and saw several people standing outside: "What's wrong with you coming to my house?"
"Chu Ren, mother-in-law, has your family received a letter today?"
Wang didn't react for a moment: "What letter?"
"What else could it be? It's just that your Chu Renzhong didn't win the imperial examination!"
"That's right, apart from this, is there anything else good about your family that deserves our special visit to ask!"
Several people were talking in a flurry, and Ms. Wang was a little unhappy when she heard this: "You all have nothing to do! When will the official come to my house to report the news? Is it none of your business?"
"It's none of our business. If your Chu Ren can really take the exam and come back, our village will also be honored. No, it's just that I'm afraid. Some people are happy too early and don't get on the list later. That would be embarrassing." Big hair!"
The person who spoke was the son of the pork shop owner who had a quarrel with Mr. Wang a few days ago.
To Wang, these words were like a curse on Chu Ren. He stepped forward, pointed at the man's nose and cursed: "Pig-killer, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful, I will tear your stinking mouth apart!"
"I'm talking nonsense, haha! Your son just didn't pass the exam. Otherwise, why would all the officials send letters to the town's civil servants today, but not your family?"
"impossible!"
"Everyone who went to the town to go to the market saw that guy playing gongs and drums, and that guy set off dozens of firecrackers! Everyone said, right?"
"Yes, I saw it all!"
"Yes, we all saw it!"
When Wang saw what these people said, she was panicked at the time, but then she denied the "what if" guess in her mind: "Then... isn't that a town? The town is close, so naturally I’m sending the letter first, what’s so strange about it! It might come tomorrow, tomorrow, so open your eyes and take a good look at it!”
The son of the pork shop laughed loudly when he heard this: "Look! What are you looking at? Do you want to see your old Chu family's joke? To tell you the truth, I asked the official who delivered the message at that time. In the whole Changshui Town, he was the only one who passed the exam. Yes, your Chu Ren didn’t hit the target at all!”
With a "bang" sound, Wang closed her eyes and fell backwards!
