Lunch was ordered by Chu Yi at a tavern on the same street. After everyone had dinner in the main room in the east courtyard, they helped clean up the courtyard inside and outside. Only then, at the urging of the young couple, Get on the bullock cart and drive out of the city.
The Jiang family siblings did not join the others, but stayed behind. They said that when they came, Aunt Cui and Father Jiang had specifically told them that there had been little work at home and in the fields recently, and asked them to stay and help with the work in the new house. Just go back after everything is sorted out, no rush.
The young couple hesitated again and again, but finally agreed. Fortunately, their ox cart was still there, so it would be convenient for them to return to the village. Firstly, Jiang Juan could get along with Ding An for a few days, and secondly, she could take Jiang Juan with her. Quan got to know the county town well and made preparations for him to deliver goods to the young couple in the future.
Shen Luzhu glanced at Zhengzheng, who was being coaxed to play by Uncle Chu in the yard. Now that she was a mother-in-law, she naturally thought more about it: "Is it okay if Xiaobao can't see you at home?"
Jiang Juan responded to Shen Luzhu's words without stopping the movement of her hands: "Cousin, don't worry, I told him specifically when I went out. Xiaobao is now a big child, and he has my father. Mom is here and won’t make trouble looking for me.”
Moving is a troublesome thing. Chu Yi and the others worked hard for three or four days before finally tidying up everything in the east courtyard and making it look like normal living.
Later, Shen Luzhu took Jiang Juan and Chu Xiuxiu to visit the county town and bought a lot of candies and pastries. When they came back, they were wrapped in red paper and knocked on the doors of the neighbors along the street.
"Aunt Sun, I have been busy cleaning up the house for the past two days, and I haven't even had time to visit. Here are some pastries and candies for you and your family to sweeten. A warm meal will be served at home the next night. I will remember it when I arrive. Reward your face."
Aunt Sun smiled and asked her waiter to bring out some herbal tea: "Why are you so polite? Your family has just moved here and there are a lot of things to tidy up. Who would pick on you?"
The young couple left the Jiang siblings behind and invited nearby neighbors and Ding An to have a warm dinner. They said the meal would be in the evening, but in the middle of the afternoon, everyone came to the door one after another with small gifts.
As soon as Chu Yi welcomed Boss Zhou from Baozi Shop into the courtyard, he saw two unexpected people walking towards his home. They glanced at Shen Luzhu who was in the courtyard with an unclear expression, and then greeted them.
"Boss Chu, I heard that your family is having a warm meal today, so I have prepared a small gift to congratulate you on your move!"
The visitors were Yu Fugui and Liu, the owners of the Yu family's grocery store. Chu Yi naturally didn't believe that his wife had sent the invitation to the Yu family, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what the Yu family meant by this move.
"Thank you, boss."
Seeing that Chu Yi just bowed his hands and said thank you, without accepting the gift he was carrying, nor with any intention of inviting him into the courtyard, Yu Fugui was speechless for a moment. Mrs. Liu glanced at her useless man and was about to speak. He asked Chu Yi to welcome him into the courtyard, and saw Shen Luzhu walking out of the courtyard.
With the formation in front of him, Shen Luzhu could naturally tell what the two of them were here for, but the relationship had already been formed. When Shen Luzhu knew that the Yu family had moved to the opposite side of his house, he never thought of shaking hands with the other party. and.
Although they didn't want to hit the smiling person, they couldn't just kick him out, but they didn't really invite the person into the yard and treat him as a guest, so they pretended to be stupid.
"Boss Yu and the landlady, what are you doing?"
"What's the matter? Your family invites you to have a warm meal and you don't let people into the hospital?" Ms. Liu was originally unwilling to come over. But now after hearing what the young couple said, she intuitively felt that the other party was making things difficult for her. She couldn't hold back her temper. .
Yu Fugui quickly pulled Ms. Liu away and said, "Her mother, please speak carefully."
Mrs. Liu angrily took out her sleeves and said with an unhappy face, "Am I wrong?"
When she found out that it was the two couples who finally bought the two houses, Mrs. Liu was almost furious. She said that they were hired by the Lu family to sing a harmony, and it turned out that they were also doing so. Regarding the idea of a shop, if the shop hadn't been under renovation at that time, and her new shop was far away from here, so there was no way she could find the two real owners, she would have come to the door a long time ago.
After much trouble, Baal finally found Director Chang Qing Street again.
Shop, but before she could settle the score with these two people, her incompetent man insisted on saying that this family was not to be messed with.
I saw that on the day they moved, Ding from the county office came over to help. He rolled up his sleeves and helped move things without saying a word. This relationship couldn't be worse. Maybe it would happen in the government office. It was those officials who did it for these two people. In the end, not only could they not retaliate, but they had to rush to curry favor with her. She had never experienced such cowardice.
Mrs. Liu's two words made Shen Luzhu relax. This was right. If the other party had been polite and reasonable, it would be obvious that they were petty and petty if they refused to invite people to the hospital for dinner.
"The boss lady has such an attitude. Those who knew she was here for a warm meal, but those who didn't know she thought she was here to cause trouble. Besides, if I remember correctly, my family didn't seem to have invited the boss's family."
Aunt Sun, who had already entered the courtyard, had been paying attention to the movements outside when she caught a glimpse of Yu's family. When she heard Shen Luzhu's words, she hurriedly came to the courtyard gate and said mockingly: "Hey, I said Wife of the Yu family, what do you think you are doing? You just ran over here on your own. Why do you have to look like this? They didn’t invite you. Who are you showing this face to?"
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she didn't even bother to stop her from being stopped by Fugui: "Well, you old bastard, what does it have to do with you? Why don't you go and have some fun!"
"Aunt Sun is a distinguished guest invited by my family, but you, the landlady, are standing at the door of someone's courtyard in broad daylight and scolding me. What's the point?"
Mrs. Liu seemed to have heard some big joke and yelled even louder than before: "Your family? It's really funny. What dirty tricks did you use to get this shop? Don't think I don't know." !」
Shen Luzhu was about to laugh out loud. When it came to uncleanness and methods, who could have tricked the Lu family as badly as the Yu family before? What means were used?"
Yu Fugui was afraid that Mr. Liu would reveal what he had guessed at home, so he quickly covered Ms. Liu's mouth: "Boss Chu, I have something to do at home, so we won't eat the Nuanju meal. Let's go first. gone."
Yu Fugui was not only thin but also lame. Wherever he could move Liu, who was quite plump, he could not move an inch even after using all his strength.
"What, you can't tell me or you don't dare to say it? I want to hear what kind of method is better than the method you used to occupy the Lu's shop! Don't say that my family didn't use any means to buy this shop, but they used it , it’s not your turn as a former tenant to make irresponsible remarks, how come you have occupied the Lu’s shop for several years, and do you really think that this shop is your own?”
Ms. Liu was so aroused by Shen Luzhu that she lost her mind and threw away Yu Fugui who was covering her: "You and the Yamen don't know anything about it..."
"Ms. Liu, shut up!"
Although Liu's words were interrupted by Yu Fugui, everyone present understood the meaning of Liu's words. Chu Yi asked coldly: "Is the Yu family questioning the previous judgment of the government, or is it questioning the county magistrate? "
"Oh? Who is questioning the county magistrate? I will be on duty tomorrow and will definitely explain the situation to you, so that you can better understand the people's sentiments."
In fact, Ding An had just arrived, but because of the quarrel between the Yu family and the young couple, many people were attracted to watch. He couldn't help but squeeze through the crowd and come in. After listening to the Liu family talking about it for a long time, he also guessed. When the Yu family came to the point, they probably meant him. He was afraid that if he spoke out rashly, it would prove the false accusations against the Yu family, so he had no choice but to hide in the periphery and say nothing. Now that he heard what the Yu family said more and more The more outrageous it is, the only thing you can do is stop it.
When Yu Fugui saw that the real owners were arguing, he still dared to let his mother-in-law make mistakes. He shook his head and admitted his mistake: "No, no, this woman is crazy and talking nonsense. Don't listen to her nonsense, Mr. Ding." Let’s go now, let’s go now!” Kan Shula
After saying that, he used all his strength to drag Mrs. Liu away from the door of Chu's house.
Seeing that the people fled back to the shop across the street in despair, Ding An walked to the middle, bowed his hands to everyone and said: "There is a Yamen case handling process. If you have any objections to the judgment of the case, you can raise it in court. , the county magistrate will deal with it impartially, but if it is like today,
But this is the crime of arbitrarily framed imperial officials. The county magistrate is the most upright and honest person. It would be so heartbreaking to hear that some of the people under his jurisdiction miss him so much. "
The onlookers waved their hands and expressed that they respected the magistrate the most as a person, so how could they have such ridiculous ideas? They were not the crazy bitches like before, they were very sensible.
"Since everyone thinks this way, Ding can rest assured. It is not in vain that the county magistrate has been working hard for our Xing'an County every day. By the way, this boss Chu and I are old acquaintances in my hometown village. Now he is prosperous. Come and open a shop on our street, I’m here to ask for a bowl of wine, I shouldn’t cause you to misunderstand what’s available and what’s not available, right?”
"Captain Ding is really joking. We are not the ones spreading rumors and causing trouble!"
"That's right, everyone on this street doesn't know who Captou Ding is. Who the blind person would think like that!"
"Captain Ding and Boss Chu, don't worry. You don't have many old acquaintances anymore. If you can't contact your relatives and friends while working in the yamen, then this is too inhumane."
"That's right, we are not those who have no brains and no morals. We don't look at the things we do at home and have the nerve to criticize others."
Ding An handed over his hand again: "Then Ding An would like to thank you all."
