At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

Song Zonggui had been tired for a day and was too lazy to deliver medicine. He went directly home to rest.

The matter of delivering the medicine was left to Song Liang and Song Wa. The two got a tael of silver for free and happily agreed.

"Zong Gui, don't run away all the time. Your wife was so frightened that she took her baby back to her parents' house and she still hasn't come back. This is not a problem. Why don't you go and bring her back?"

It took Zong Guiniang a whole day to see her son come back, so she couldn't help but nag a few words.

"It doesn't matter if we let them go back and hide for two days. The village is not peaceful now." Song Zonggui said with a smile.

Zong Guiniang sighed, "We just hide at home and don't go out to cause trouble, so Song Laoer can't come to harm us.

Tell me, what were you busy with before and after running? What if Song Laoer finds out and blames you?

I wanted to call you back in the morning, but you ran off to town to find a doctor and didn't come back for lunch. Are you hungry? "

"Mom, please relax. I'm eating well. Song Laoer won't blame me. I know this well, so don't worry."

Song Zonggui grinned and put the three taels of silver he just got into her hand, "Mom, this is what I earned today. Keep it and buy whatever you want. Don't make yourself miserable."

"Ouch~~~ That's incredible. How can you make so much money? Isn't it something immoral?"

Zong Guiniang was so frightened when she touched silver for the first time.

Zong Gui's father left early, so she raised her son alone and married him a wife. The family was extremely poor.

Let alone silver, she had never seen more than five hundred copper coins.

This daughter-in-law was married by her son on his own merit without spending any money.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Just keep it and don't talk nonsense when you go out. This is the hard-earned money given to me by Li Zheng. Song Liang and Song Wa also have it."

Zong Guiniang nodded, "You are indeed tired, and you should be given some hard-earned money. He received so much money in the morning, so he only gave you such a small amount. It is really evil."

"Mom, you just need to know what's going on. Don't talk nonsense outside. Go to bed quickly. I'm tired and can't bear it anymore."

After saying that, Song Zonggui walked into the house.

After closing the door, Song Zonggui took out 14 taels of silver from his waistband.

He bared his big teeth, put the silver in his mouth, bit it, and then quietly hid it in the earthen jar under the bed.

The old doctor's consultation fee in the village was fifty taels, and the thirty-six injured in the village should logically be paid two taels each.

The old doctor said that since there was a difference of 22 taels of silver, he could only give medicine to 14 people.

Either he pays 22 taels of silver and he prescribes all the medicines, otherwise the money is not enough.

He refused immediately, as 14 doses of medicine were enough.

This day's hard work was not in vain. I made 17 taels of silver by changing hands like this. It was worth it.

Li Zheng got three taels of silver and pulled the donkey cart home with a straight face.

Looking at the people lying on the ground in the yard, he felt even more upset.

Early the next morning, he led the donkey cart to the town.

As soon as he got the money, before it was warmed up, Li Zheng took a small part of it and gave it to his son's family in the town.

"Dad, why don't we buy a house in the town? I don't dare to go back to the village. It's too scary."

Li Zheng's son pinched a tael of silver in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

His wife was right. The old man must have a lot of money. If he doesn't take advantage of this moment to get more, he will definitely use it to support his sister in the future.

"That's easy to say. The houses in the town cost at least twenty or thirty taels of silver. Is that what we can afford?"

Li Zheng rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Don't think about it. You can stay in the town for a few days. When the village is peaceful, you can go back as soon as possible."

Li Zheng's son curled his lips and said, "If there is no Taoist priest to take her in, it would be strange if there is peace."

Li Zheng frowned and thought for a moment.

"You're right. Well, ask around the town if there's any hermit who's good at catching ghosts. Invite him to the village to catch them. It'll be easy to talk about the money."

Li Zheng's son grinned, patted his thigh and said,

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll take care of this."

Li Zheng rambled on and told his son a few words.

Then he smiled and hugged his grandson. After teasing him for a while, he hurried back to the village without even eating lunch.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Zheng climbed down from the donkey cart.

He looked around and found that apart from the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, he could not hear the laughter of children in the village.

At noon, there were only a few houses in the village with smoke drifting from their chimneys.

Li Zheng took a deep breath, holding the rope holding the donkey with one hand, and pinching the donkey's mouth with the other hand, fearing that the donkey would bray unexpectedly and scare Xia Hua.

"Sister Xia Hua, this is the small melon I just picked. Wash it and give it to you to eat after dinner, okay?"

Cuihua was holding a melon and half-kneeling next to Xiahua's chair with a smile on her face.

Xia Mo gnawed on the chicken leg and glanced at the melon.

Song Zonggui immediately pointed at Cuihua and said, "I don't have the eyesight to see it. I need Xiahua to tell me. Wash it off quickly and clean it. Remember to rinse the kitchen knife as well."

Glancing at Cuihua's black nails, Song Zonggui frowned.

"A-Liang, go and wash it. Look at her black nails, it's off-putting."

"Okay~~~"

Song Liang walked up to Cuihua with a smile and snatched the melon from her hand, "Here you go, your fingernails are really dark."

Li Zheng held the donkey's mouth and stood not far away in a daze, watching this scene in disbelief.

Song Wa stood next to Xia Hua and fanned her, Song Zonggui helped serve the dishes, Cuihua and Song Liang rushed to wash the melons for Xia Hua to eat...

Why didn't he know that the people in the village had the potential to be slaves?

Cuihua looked at her fingernails and laughed awkwardly,

"Sister Xia Hua, I'm going to cut it right now. I'll come back later to press your legs. For those who are in good shape, their legs are prone to swelling."

At the end of Xia, I was full, wiped my mouth and lay on the recliner, squinting my eyes.

Song Zonggui frowned and glared at Cuihua, "I can't see it. Xia Hua is sleepy and didn't see it. Let's go aside."

Cuihua suppressed her anger and glared at Song Zonggui, muttering in her mouth, "You bitch."

.......

From this day on, when I get up and go for a walk every day in the late summer, I am always surrounded by three or four people who are nodding and bowing.

The first person to bear the brunt was Song Zonggui, who regarded himself as the chief manager and followed Xia Mo all day long, shouting and yelling.

Xia Mo never said anything, they just pinched each other.

Old Man Song and his family have been recuperating in the courtyard of Li Zheng's house, and Song Yin alone takes care of the whole family.

For two or three days in a row, Song Yinlai couldn't even lift his eyelids.

At this time, Mrs. Song finally remembered why Song Jin was missing.

"Second girl, where is the eldest girl? Where have you been hiding away for so many days?"

Song Yin weakly moved her lips, "I--I haven't seen her for many days."

"The plague-stricken thing, the whole family is lying down. She is well and has disappeared. The daughter-in-law is here to stay. She should get married as soon as possible."

Mrs. Song was cursing.

Liu couldn't help rolling his eyes at Mrs. Song and shouting at the top of his lungs,

"Second girl, give me some water to drink, I'm so thirsty."

"Find some food for dad, I feel so hungry."

"Erya, Xiaoqiang is about to poop, take him out and poop."

......

The whole family kept telling Song Yin around.

"It's not a big deal for them to lie down in our yard every day. They are almost drinking up the well water."

Li Zheng's wife was picking vegetables while complaining.

"Hey~~~~" Satsuma sighed deeply, "Then what do you say? It's impossible to send him back.

As for Old Man Song and Old Mrs. Song's bad words, can you believe that they can hold back from beating and scolding Xia Hua? "

"Hey~~~" Li Zheng's wife flattened her mouth in disdain, "Unless the sun comes out from the west, these two idiots have bullied Xia Hua for so many years, how can a dog change his mind and eat shit all of a sudden?"

"That's why I can't send him back. I finally had two days of peace and quiet, but I don't dare to let them go and have fun."

"By the way~~ There is a ruined temple in our village. We should just throw them there first."

Li Zheng's wife suddenly had an idea, and she whispered to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng frowned and thought seriously.

"What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and get them carried over. The cucumbers planted in our backyard are about to be wiped out by them."

"Okay, I'll call someone to carry it."

When Li Zheng thought of the vegetables that were trampled to death in the backyard, he wanted to send them away immediately.

The vegetables in his garden are growing so well that they are almost eating them up.

No one can watch them all the time.

Old Man Song and his family were still shouting at the top of their lungs that they didn't want to move out, but a few strong laborers directly covered their mouths and carried them out.

Xia Mo was walking with a group of people when he suddenly saw several people being carried out noisily from Li Zheng's house.

Song Zonggui blocked Xia Mo's gaze for the first time.

"Miss, why don't you go to Juhua's house for roast duck at noon? Her mother's roast is delicious."

In order to show his status as the general manager, Song Zonggui secretly called "Miss" at some point.

Others followed suit, and no one was willing to fall behind.

Xia Mo pulled her lips and smiled softly, "Let's talk about it at noon."

Cuihua took the opportunity and leaned over and said, "Miss has already eaten the roast duck cooked by Lady Juhua. I took her there."

"Presumptuous!" Song Zonggui glared at Cuihua, "My lady didn't even let you speak, who told you to talk nonsense? Palm!"

In the past few days, Song Zonggui took the time to go to the town to watch opera singers several times. This is how the chief stewards scolded the slaves.

Not to be outdone, Cuihua retorted, "Miss, you didn't even say to hit me. I want you to talk more."

Song Zonggui gritted his teeth and stared at Cuihua with a fierce expression.

"What is my identity, and what is your identity? You are shameless, right?"

Cuihua curled her lips, "Have you admitted your identity, Miss? I am still Miss's personal first-class maid, you are nothing."

"I'm the chief manager, you damn maid, I'll kill you with one slap."

Song Wa saw the two of them arguing and said quickly,

"Brother, stop arguing, the lady has gone far."

Song Zonggui turned around and saw Xia Hua followed by Song Liang, who had already walked far away.

He glared at Cuihua bitterly, "Just wait for me."
