Chapter 242 Seeing My Mother-in-law
Jiang Xiaobai looked back at Sun Jiayao who was full of confusion, and said, "Uncle Zhong, she...is weak, and it is not easy to move for the time being."

"Your wife should be able to walk, right?" Wei Zhong rubbed his hands anxiously.

"Uncle Zhong, I hear what you mean, the Wei family is not living well here?"

"Since you are the person sent by the master, I... let's talk!" Wei Zhong basically approved of Jiang Xiaobai, red-eyed, and narrated what happened in the past few days.

It turned out that there were four brothers in the Wei family. The eldest, Wei Nancheng, was the eldest, and the second, Wei Dongcheng, died before he was seven years old. Currently, there are still two branches of the eldest, Wei Xicheng and Wei Beicheng.

Of course, when they escaped from Weijiazhuang, the three families were together, with a total of seven carriages and more than 60 people.

Among them, three carriages carried finances, three carriages carried female family members, and the other carriage was shared by brothers Wei Xicheng and Wei Beicheng. As for the others, they could only follow on foot.

Because they believed that Yizhou was haunted by ghosts, everyone was frightened and ran very fast, and arrived in the north of Baozhou City that night.

Seeing that there were still forty or fifty miles away from the destination, it was too unsafe to walk at night, so the eldest lady decided to find an inn to rest for the time being.

But at dawn the next day, people were surprised to find that only 33 people from the first room remained, while the people from the third room and the fourth room had already run away overnight. At the same time, seven carriages and the gold coins on them disappeared. Silver is soft.

Overnight, the eldest wife of the Wei family became a widow and a pauper.

However, the matter had come to this point, and the rest of the people didn't care about so much, cried a lot and continued on their way.

When they arrived at Zhengjia Village, another eleven people either got separated or fled, leaving only 22 people.

This is not the most tragic thing. When the eldest lady was full of expectations and hoped that her brother would save her, she was treated with sneering words.

The eldest brother of the Zheng family believes that since the eldest lady has married into the Wei family, she will be born as a member of the Wei family and die as a ghost of the Wei family, so there is no reason to run back to her natal family.

Under the begging of the eldest lady, and the fact that the eldest brother of the Zheng family took a fancy to the twenty or so strong laborers she brought, he finally reluctantly agreed to allow them to stay temporarily, but he only gave them a broken house with only three rooms. In the small courtyard, the food provided is brown rice and rotten vegetables for the long-term workers.

"I think back when the old man was there, he went to Weijiazhuang every year. That time it was not delicious, good, and entertaining, and he had to pull a car when he left. But now we are poor, but he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. Madame is his own sister!" Wei Zhong stamped his feet angrily.

He stared straight at him with great strength, and said, "When I was in Weijiazhuang, when did I ever eat moldy pancakes? It was so bullying!"

Gouzi was more concerned about the situation at home, and asked, "Master Bao, is there anyone else in Weijia Village? Did the bandits burn down the village?"

"What bandits, those are volunteers!" Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Weijiazhuang has not changed at all from the past, except that there are fewer people."

"Go home, we want to go home!" The three jumped up excitedly.

"Master Bao, you have to tell Da Furen about this in person!" Wei Zhong begged, "You two can do it, if Madam can't walk, let's go back and make a sliding pole to carry Madam."

Wei Qiuyue's mother is in dire straits, Jiang Xiaobai can't just sit idly by.

So Jiang Xiaobai said: "Later, I will talk to her."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiaobai pulled Sun Jiayao into the gazebo, and said, "I have something to deal with here, I'll come as soon as I go."

Sun Jiayao pursed her lips and said, "Why didn't you take me there? I promise I will listen to you, don't watch what shouldn't be seen, don't say what shouldn't be said!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Let's put it this way, your current range of activities in this time and space is only centered on this gazebo, with a radius of tens of meters. You can't get through."

"Why?" Sun Jiayao said anxiously, "It's only a few tens of meters, what kind of time travel is this? After a long time, wouldn't I starve to death or freeze to death?"

"This... is temporary, and you may expand the scope of activities in the future." This kind of possibility is only possible when she is appointed as the second guardian.

"I understand, it's like leveling up in practice. My level is low now, so I can't make it through." Sun Jiayao said: "But, you have to teach me the skills, so that I can practice and improve my level!"

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't laugh or cry, this kind of explanation is quite weird.

But Sun Jiayao was finally settled down for the time being, Jiang Xiaobai told her to wait patiently, at least half an hour, at most two hours, he would definitely come back.

Turning around to leave the pavilion, Jiang Xiaobai said: "Uncle Zhong, please take me to see Da Furen."

"Master Bao, this way please!" Wei Zhong led Jiang Xiaobai to the village, muttering as he walked, "Master Bao, Mrs. Zun can only walk just now, why?"

"Uncle Zhong, she doesn't want to see strangers, so let her wait there." Jiang Xiaobai looked at the twenty or so strong men in front, and added: "Are these people from Weijiazhuang? They, my wife is shy, keep them as far away as possible."

"It's natural, don't these muddy legs bump into your lady!" Wei Zhong quickly walked a few steps, and shouted: "Go farther away, go farther away, what's the point of staring at the little lady all the time?"

These people were very obedient, and immediately dispersed, some went back to the village, and some went to the fields to tend the crops.

Entering the entrance of the village, there is a north-south alley in front, about 200 meters long.

In the center on the left side of the alley, there is a tall courtyard, all of which are made of blue bricks and green tiles, which looks very grand.

"See, that's the old Zheng's big house. Although it's not as good as our Wei's house, it's second to none in this village." Wei Zhong said bitterly, "But the house he gave us is small and big. It’s messy, it’s not inhabited at all.”

While speaking, Wei Zhong wanted to turn around and entered a dilapidated house.

After just one glance, Jiang Xiaobai was furious. Is this for people to live in? It's clearly a cowshed!
The size of the yard is not small. There are three dilapidated adobe houses on the south side, the doors are about to fall off, and there are no windshields on the windows.

On the north side is a row of barns, the ground is full of defecation, and a few old cattle are eating grass leisurely.

Under the eaves of the adobe house, three young women sat on the bench with sad faces, two of them were washing clothes, and the other was doing needlework.

A woman raised her head and asked, "Uncle Zhong, why are you back?"

"It's a good thing, of course I'm back." Wei Zhong was full of joy, looked up at the adobe house in the middle, and asked, "Where is the eldest lady?"

"You...you should go and see for yourself!" The woman sighed, as if she had something hard to say.

"Ma'am, don't, I don't want it!" Suddenly, a young woman broke through the door, squatted under the eaves and burst into tears.
