Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Chapter 11: People from the County

When the person from the county town arrived, it was not long after breakfast.

A small group of soldiers were coming to transport food.

At the same time, he also brought a few letters from home.

When the grain transport team saw Aunt Deng, they immediately took out a letter from their arms and handed it to her, and their attitude was also extremely respectful: "This is a letter from General Cheng."

Aunt Deng smiled happily, stretched out her hand, wiped her hands on her clothes several times, and then took it with extra care, saying "OK, OK, OK" repeatedly.

Xu Yun saw everything.

However, Aunt Deng was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, she put the letter solemnly into her arms and then talked to the grain transporter about business: "The grain and salt we bought this time are all in the warehouse. You just need to check the accounts with Tan the accountant. In addition, we made fifty pieces of clothes, which can also be taken away."

The leader of the grain transport soldiers hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Deng. This month, Aunt Deng's team is number one again! Aunt Deng is very capable, no wonder she was able to raise such a capable person like General Cheng."

Aunt Deng waved her hands, smiling so much that her mouth stretched to her ears: "What's that? As for Erlang, he's just a young boy, he's just a bit lucky!"

After some polite exchanges, the grain transport soldiers went to hand over the grain.

Aunt Deng also went to see, and then Xu Yun discovered something.

The expected discovery that the accounts didn't match did not happen.

Whether it was the captain of the grain transport team or accountant Tan, both of them looked very natural.

If Xu Yun had not seen the amount in the account book a long time ago, just looking at their reactions now, he would never have guessed that there was corruption involved.

Xu Yun's eyes swept across the two people's faces, and then he didn't look at them again.

However, she was sure that she was right not to expose this matter before.

They worked together to do this. If she suddenly discovered it, she would be silenced...

After the handover was completed, Aunt Deng personally sent the grain transport soldiers to the village entrance. Xu Yun watched coldly and found that these people were really brave.

As soon as the grain transport soldiers left, Aunt Deng turned back to look for accountant Tan.

But I saw that a circle of people had gathered around Accountant Tan.

They all asked Accountant Tan to help read the family letters.

Perhaps they were asking for something, so no matter who they were, they were all very respectful and polite to Accountant Tan.

Accountant Tan holds a superior status among the village women.

Aunt Deng said a few words cheerfully, and Accountant Tan even took the initiative to ask if she wanted help reading the letter.

Xu Yun felt nervous: if the accountant Tan knew that he could read, he might realize that he had discovered his corruption.

Therefore, Xu Yun simply took the initiative to speak: "Auntie Deng has something else to do. My mother just wanted to see Auntie Deng for something."

She looked at Aunt Deng.

Auntie Deng and Xu Yun looked at each other and waved their hands cheerfully: "I'll call my daughter-in-law to come and listen after I'm done."

After coming out of Accountant Tan's office, Aunt Deng looked at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun said softly, "There are too many people here. Let's go home and I'll help you read the letter."

Aunt Deng said nothing and walked back quickly.

I got home very quickly.

Hua Niang had also heard about the family letter from others. When she heard the door open, she immediately came out to greet him: "Mother, is it from Dalang or Erlang?"

She looked forward to it.

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law like this, Aunt Deng knew that she was thinking about her husband, so her tone softened: "It's Erlang. Dalang is probably busy lately."

But after hearing this, the expectation and smile on Hua Niang's face slowly turned into disappointment, and even her shoulders drooped. She lowered her head and replied, "Then I will continue to do needlework."

Aunt Deng sighed, but there was nothing she could do.

Then, Auntie Deng turned around and looked at Xu Yun, her eyes sharp: "Can you tell me now?"

The mood changes...quickly.

Xu Yun took Aunt Deng back to the house and asked her, "Aunt Deng, you can't read, right?"

Aunt Deng had a serious expression on her face. When she heard this, she was stunned. "What's wrong?"

Obviously don't quite understand what this topic represents.

Xu Yun poured some water into the teacup, then extended his index finger to dip into the tea and said softly, "Then I will teach you how to read. You don't need to learn anything else, just start with counting."

To be honest, Xu Yun has never been a teacher to anyone.

But at this moment, her tone was calm and even a little cold, and she spoke slowly, making it easy for people to follow her words.

Aunt Deng watched Xu Yun write the first complicated character with tea. After a long while, her expression suddenly became serious. She even stood up and stared at Xu Yun closely: "Is there something wrong with Accountant Tan?!"

Xu Yun didn't expect Aunt Deng to be so sensitive.

Although Aunt Deng is illiterate, she has a straightforward and even a little careless personality, but she is also very thoughtful.

Originally, Xu Yun wanted to teach Aunt Deng to read and then let Aunt Deng find out the problem with the account book herself. But just at the beginning, Aunt Deng thought of the key point herself.

In this case, Xu Yun did not hide it: "I saw that the number in the account book is different from the number that Accountant Tan said. But after all, I didn't look carefully, so I can't be sure. So the best way is for me to teach you to read, and you can read it yourself."

Auntie Deng laughed angrily, slapped the table, and glared at Xu Yun: "It's already this late, and you're still playing this with me? What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'll suspect you?"

Xu Yun just smiled and said nothing, with no intention of denying it at all.

Aunt Deng pointed at Xu Yun and was so angry that she couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, she stamped her feet and said, "You are not that old, but you have as many tricks as a hornet's nest!"

Xu Yun said that this analogy was fine, and even accepted it happily: "When you are out, it is better to be more careful. Do you want to learn it?"

Aunt Deng gnashed her teeth and said, "Learn! I'll get you some paper and a pen, and you write it down for me! I don't believe I can't recognize it!"

The tone didn't sound like he was learning to read, but rather like he was ready to risk his life.

Xu Yun suddenly had some doubts: It's possible that I can't learn it, right? Just a few words...?

However, when Xu Yun mentioned paper and pen, something moved his mind and he thought of the library.

The library would urge her every morning, but she ignored it.

If I had a pen and paper...

Xu Yun felt that he could finally save some points?

The one-time use last time was quite useful. And without the library, she might not have been able to save Xie Wanqing that day.

Xu Yun thought that he was still very grateful.

Therefore, Xu Yun smiled gently and said, "Auntie Deng, can you give me some more paper and pen? I can also help you write a reply."

However, Aunt Deng was already frowning and thinking about the accountant Tan. Not only did she not notice this, she suddenly stared at Xu Yun and asked, "If the numbers don't match, then why did they take the grain away--"

Before she could finish her words, Aunt Deng stopped talking and a surge of anger rushed to her head!
