"Playing around? If a person is killed, do you want me to treat it as an unintentional play?" Zhang He said in a deep voice.

"They're just children, they don't care much, what do you think?"

"I want them to jump into the river too, to taste what it's like to be flooded!" Zhang He said.

Zhang Bing's face changed, and he was a little annoyed: "They are just children, but you are not a child anymore. If you really do this, you will kill someone!"

A sneer appeared on Zhang He's face: "My third brother almost died, and you wanted to dismiss me by saying 'they are just children'? Are you treating me, Zhang He, as a soft persimmon?"

"Then what do you want?"

Zhang He smiled coldly, and brought up Zhang Ci, and the cane that had been prepared earlier fell mercilessly on his white and tender buttocks, making him howl.Zhang Luoshi rushed out after hearing the sound, and saw Zhang He being rough on her most beloved great-grandson, she was furious when she felt distressed: "Presumptuous, you yellow-mouthed child, do you still think of your old age?"

Zhang He pretended not to hear, and gave another slap in the face before stopping.Zhang Ci was like a frightened rabbit, he lifted his pants and ran towards Zhang Luoshi, shouting: "Great-grandmother, he hit me, it hurts so much!"

"Zhang Baochang, are you deliberately bringing him to bully my great-grandson?" Zhang Luoshi glared at the Baochang.

"Aniang, don't talk about it!" Zhang Bing said hastily, if he offends the chief security officer, their life in the village will be difficult in the future!

The Baochang had seen how unreasonable Zhang Luoshi was, and said to Zhang He: "You have already been punished, why don't you just let it go. You all belong to the same case, if there is a big trouble..."

If the matter gets serious, it is only natural to hold a clan meeting, and the elders in the clan will resolve it.In their eyes, Zhang Xian was fine, and Zhang Ci and Zhang Mu were just children. They must blame Zhang He for making things worse.Moreover, the two brothers Zhang Bing and Zhang Hun had a lot of contacts in the clan. She had already suffered a loss when dividing the family property, so it was really hard to act rashly.

Zhang He's cold eyes swept across Zhang Ci's body. She hit him a total of twelve times just now. Although it couldn't make up for the mistakes he made, it was enough for him to learn a lesson.But at the moment she really can't fight back with an eye, so she said to Zhang Bing: "I want you to promise that in the future when they see my third brother, they'd better stay away. If they let me know about their bullying my third brother again, I will take it together with today's matter dealt with."

Zhang Bing had never been threatened by a junior like this before, he was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Zhang He just kept Zhang Ci and others away from Zhang Xian, this was not a difficult task, so he agreed.As soon as Zhang He left, he scolded Zhang He directly: "I knew I would have taught Brother Niu to let you leave the house!"

After leaving Zhang Bing's house, Zhang He went to Zhang Hun's house again. Zhang Hun didn't obstruct Zhang Bing as much, and Zhang Luo was not there. Zhang He cleaned up Zhang Mu fifteen times before he understood the matter.

"This matter is over." Zhang Baochang said.

"I haven't thanked Bao Zhang for upholding justice for me." Zhang He said.

Zhang He's words of thanks were not low-key flattery, but that she was such a polite person, Zhang Baochang knew it very well.He waved his hand and said: "I hope they can live in peace in the future. It's just that Sanlang is so young, and you have to deal with farming, and you can't take care of Sanlang, so you don't plan to find a lover to take care of the housework for you. Take care of Saburo?"

Zhang He shifted his gaze to other places with a guilty conscience, and said, "The funeral of my deceased father has just passed, so I really don't have the heart to think about these things."

Zhang Baochang murmured in his heart that Zhang He's father, Zhang Tingyu, had gone there four years ago, and the three brothers only separated after three years of filial piety.Now Zhang He has stayed here for nearly a year, and he still hasn't forgotten the pain of losing his father after four years. It's really commendable filial piety!

Zhang He, who had no idea that he was labeled as a "filial son", was thinking in his heart: I can still refuse to marry a wife on this ground, but if things go on like this, someone will inevitably persuade me.But fortunately, the father of this body is dead, and the mother is not around, so no one can force her.

Everyone knows that she is the concubine of the Zhang family, but they don't know that Zhang He is no longer in her heart.

After working overtime for a month, he fell asleep when he got home, and when he woke up, he was in the Zhang family's mansion in Zhangjiazhuang Village.Thinking that she was dreaming, after eating a vegetarian diet for a month, she was told to separate in a daze.

"Let's divide the family, it's just a dream anyway!" Zhang He thought so, when he separated, he didn't care at all about how much he could get.

When she was kicked out of the house, she suddenly woke up - this was not a dream, but her soul was gone!

Penniless, without a father or a mother, with a five-year-old radish head, and unfamiliar with the place and no one to rely on, it can be said that her situation is extremely miserable.

Fortunately, she didn't just know this fact. As early as that month, she vaguely understood it, but she didn't want to believe it.

In that month, she passively received some information, such as: She is the concubine of a landlord's family.

The landlord's name was Zhang Tingyu, and his ancestors were officials. According to the court's yin compensation system, there was only one quota for this yin compensation, and it fell to his elder brother Zhang Tingxuan.And he didn't care if he failed to become an official. Relying on the protection of his ancestors and elder brother, he bought a lot of land, and gradually became one of the largest landlords in Linchuan County.

Zhang Tingyu has three sons: the eldest son Zhang Yan, the "second son" Zhang He and the youngest son Zhang Xian.Zhang Yan was born to the wife Liu, while Zhang He and Zhang Xian were born to concubines Liu.

Zhang He didn't know why Liu Shi dressed her up as a "boy", and even hid it from the world. She couldn't ask Liu Shi for an answer, but was discovered because Liu Shi had an affair with the tenant farmers of the farm during the mourning period.

Although the marriage regulations in this dynasty are relatively loose, it is already a serious crime for a married woman to have an affair with another person, let alone during the mourning period.One can imagine Liu's fate, and the tenant farmer's family was also ruined.

It is precisely because of the Liu family that Zhang He and Zhang Xian are often teased by their relatives, and Zhang Xian was once suspected that he was not Zhang Tingyu's parent and child.

Although the distinction between concubine and concubine is not very important in this era, it is a patriarchal society after all: Zhang Tingyu died of illness three years ago, and according to the rules, brothers are not allowed to separate during the filial piety period.So once the three-year filial piety period passed, Zhang Yan invited the elders of the clan to preside over the separation of the family.

According to the family division law of this dynasty, regardless of the concubines, elders and children, unless there is a will left, they will be divided equally.It's just that Zhang Yan didn't like the two concubine younger brothers on a daily basis, so he united the elders of the clan and asked them to give false testimony, claiming that they knew that Zhang Tingyu had made an oral will before his death, Zhang Yan took the majority of the family property, and the two concubine sons took the small share .

More than 800 acres of land, 10,000+ yuan of property, farms and houses, Zhang He and Zhang Xiantong shared a total of [-] acres of land, an old cow, and an old house, and then they were kicked out of the house.

Zhang He just arrived, and he was kicked out of the house before he could figure out anything; she didn't understand the laws here, and thought that concubines really didn't have much inheritance rights. Zhang Xian, who was only five years old, came to Qinghe Village.

Qinghe Village used to be the location of the farmhouse that the Zhang family bought when they made a fortune. Later, when Zhang He's great-grandfather divided the family property, he gave it to Zhang He's grandfather, and Zhang He's grandfather gave it to Zhang Tingyu.But at that time, Zhang Tingyu already had a better ancestral house and farm, and the two-entry courtyard in Qinghe Village was slowly abandoned.

When Zhang Tingyu was alive, he would send people back to repair and weed every year, but once he died, this place was forgotten.In Zhang He's hands, it became a dilapidated house overgrown with weeds and in disrepair.

It took Zhang He nearly half a year to repair most of it. Although it will not be restored to its most original appearance, at least it will not collapse suddenly when she falls asleep.

Let's talk about the hundred acres of land.Because it was granted by the ancestors according to their grades when they were officials, and it was never taken back even if the ancestors were not officials, so its soil quality and location are very good.

There are only four plots of [-] acres of scattered land, almost all of which are within the scope of Qinghe Village.However, these fields were leased to a tenant farmer for cultivation. Later, the son of the tenant farmer made money doing business in the city, and the whole family moved to the city.The Zhang family is having a funeral, so the field has not been rented out for the time being.

Looking at the wasteland with many weeds, Zhang He felt a headache all of a sudden.

Not to mention that the original owner was spoiled and raised without doing rough work, even she herself was a person who had never worked in the fields in modern times.Although her grandfather was a farmer, she only stayed by the fields when she was a child and listened to the old man talking about the Agricultural Classic.When I grew up, I sat in an office, facing the computer all day long, not to mention farm work, and even rarely did sports.

How to survive in this era is a question worthy of her serious consideration and treatment.

Back in front of the house, Zhang He saw Xia Jiniang walking out, and she called out, "Miss Xia!"

"Zhang Erlang is back?" Xia Jiniang waited for her to approach, and then said, "My aunt heard that you went to your cousin's house, thinking that if you haven't come back, there will be no time to cook dinner, so she asked me to bring some food Come to you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xia will take your troubles." Zhang He was rather embarrassed.

"Auntie said that you borrowed cattle and farm tools and never collected rent. We should do so." Xia Ji Niang said, a kind person like Zhang He is rare in this world.

Nine out of ten farmers in the world, not every family has cattle to use. When the busy season of farming is approaching, people who have no cattle and land will naturally have to borrow cattle, and most people who have cattle will take the opportunity to make a fortune.

The situation in Zhang He's family can be regarded as worrying. She doesn't seem to know how to manage things at all.Sometimes Xia Jiniang inevitably felt worried for Zhang He. If things go on like this, how will the two brothers survive?

Zhang He, who didn't know what Xia Jiniang was thinking, was also troubled. She actually wanted to ask Xia Jiniang if she knew her identity as a woman, but Xia Jiniang's behavior in the past two days didn't look like she had discovered it.

In the past, she didn't care if her female identity was exposed, she even resisted this "male" identity, after all, it would be very difficult and troublesome to manage a male identity.But when she realized what being a woman would bring her, she was forced to accept the disguise.

The country name of this dynasty is "Qin", which is a unified dynasty that emerged after the Tang Dynasty, but the separatist regimes of the feudal towns and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms did not appear in history... It should be said that the turning point of history is that the "Anshi Rebellion" did not occur, and the feudal towns Before there was time to separate the regime, the Tang Dynasty was banned.

Although it is a dynasty that Zhang He has never heard of, many customs are similar to the history that Zhang He is familiar with.As far as the status of women is concerned, although it has improved a lot compared to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in the eyes of the world, women must marry and have no right to marry independently.

Men can still choose a partner, but women can only rely on the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers.Furthermore, if a woman wants to marry well, she must prepare a generous dowry.After marrying, she not only has to take care of her husband and raise her children, but also has to endure her husband raising a concubine, and she can choose to be a "widower" when she is a man!

How could Zhang He spend money to suffer?It was as if she had spent all her life savings and youth locking herself in a cage.So Zhang He gritted her teeth and decided to carry out the disguise to the end. If one day her identity was exposed, then she could only adapt to the situation.

Although from the two days of getting along, she knew that Xia Jiniang's behavior did not seem to cause her any trouble, but she was still a little apprehensive.

The author has something to say: The background of this article is mostly based on the Song Dynasty, but it is not copied, there are many private settings.For example, in the Song Dynasty, it was stipulated that parents and grandparents should not separate from each other, but if the father died and the mother was still alive, there was no detailed example for instant noodles, so it can only be set up privately.

In addition, the custom of generous marriage in the Song Dynasty was very popular. Parents not only had to raise their daughters, but also prepared a generous dowry for them (because a woman’s dowry still belongs to personal property even after she gets married, and it can still be taken away after divorce and is protected by law. , so some people in the Song Dynasty were willing to prepare a generous dowry for their daughters.)
