The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Jiang Zhen has not been in this world for less than a year, and he has not lived in Hexi Village for a long time. Even, he has not given him too many good memories there.

But even so, he still misses He Xicun very much.

After all, there is Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu's family there, and he considers it his home.

Before Jiang Zhen, it could be said that his heart was like an arrow, but after he really got close to He Xi Village, his heart felt a little more heavy.

He has such a mood for no other reason than... This time he went to the capital and came back from the capital, and his subordinates were dead.

Only one of his men died, which was much better than the Zheng family's caravan, but the people were dead after all.

That person...he was the one who took it out.

Jiang Zhen didn't want such an accident to happen, and it had nothing to do with him, but he felt guilty after all.

"Boss, why are you upset?" Jiang Ming asked puzzled.

Jiang Zhen rubbed his brows and looked at the box next to him.

The dead villager of Hexi Village was surnamed Li, named Li Yuan, only.When the battle was over and the Zheng family's fleet docked, Jiang Zhen led people to bury him, and at the same time packed up his belongings and put them in this box.

Later, the pension given by the Zheng family came down, and Jiang Zhen put it in. When he robbed the group of water bandits, he put in a lot of money.

Now, in addition to Li Yuan's relics, there are 300 taels of silver in this box. In addition, Jiang Zhen also bought some things in the capital and put them in another box... These are all for Li Yuan. Yuan's family.

Seeing Jiang Zhen doing this, his subordinates also gave some things and put them in the same box. Now, both boxes are full.

"Boss, you already gave a lot of money, Li Yuan and his parents won't blame you." Jiang Ming said.Even, not to mention Li Yuan's parents, but his parents, seeing so much money, I'm afraid they can't be blamed.

"After all, the person is gone." Jiang Zhen said.Jiang Zhen also knew that the pension he gave was already quite a lot. When he first chose the candidate, he didn't choose his only child... In this place where human life is worthless and human trafficking is not uncommon, no one will blame him. , but he didn't feel well after all.

Jiang Ming and the others fell silent when they heard the words.

Yes, in the end people are gone.

The people who went to the capital with them were gone.

Although it is normal for people to die in the family these days, such as children, some families have six or seven children, and only three or four can be raised, but that person died in front of them, and they felt a little uncomfortable after all.

The boat slowly approached He Xi Village, and when they disembarked, the faces of the big guys were not very good-looking.

"Jiang Zhen! Brother Jin!" A voice suddenly sounded, Jiang Zhen raised his head and saw Zhao Fugui standing by the river.

This person who always seemed to be very silent when he was not restrained in his words and smiles, now he actually smiled, revealing a mouthful of badly worn, somewhat black and yellow teeth.

However, he quickly closed his mouth and stopped laughing, and only said: "You are finally back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Ever since Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing went to the capital, Zhao Fugui liked to wander around the road from the village to the county and by the river when he had nothing to do. Today, he came to wander around again.

Seeing Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing coming back from a distance, he could say he was very happy, but the expressions of Jiang Zhen and others made him "thump" in his heart again - these people's faces are not good-looking, this time they go to the capital , I'm afraid it doesn't go well.

However, it doesn't matter if it doesn't go well, as long as the person comes back properly.

Zhao Fugui took a look and found that Jiang Zhen's condition looked good, and his son looked a little fatter, so he finally felt relieved.

Then, he saw other things, for example... Except for two suitcases, all these people only carried a small bundle.

In fact, when Jiang Zhen went home, he also wanted to bring more things, but he had a lot of people, and he couldn't find a few small boats that could take them home for a while, so how could he bring too many things?

What's more... If he wants to bring something back, should he also ask his subordinates to bring it back?

Glancing at the big and small bags, Jiang Zhen finally asked those men to put the things on the boat temporarily and come back tomorrow to pick them up. Of course, he himself did the same.

Therefore, those of them who returned home only brought a small bundle with silver in it, and nothing else, which was even less than what they brought out.

These days, who goes far away and doesn't bring something home to share with relatives and friends!Unless you suffer outside and spend all your money, and you really have nothing to bring home, you will not bring anything.

Zhao Fugui became more and more sure that Jiang Zhen's trip was not going well.

After arriving at such an answer, Zhao Fugui couldn't ask any more questions immediately, so he just said, "Do you want me to help?" The box should be lifted?

"Father, there's no need." Jiang Zhen said, he put the two bags he was carrying on his back, and let Brother Zhao Jin get off the boat first.

His two bags contained gold and silver, as well as two sets of clothes for Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui, which were a bit bigger than others, but when he went out, he packed half of the boat...

Brother Zhao Jin has been taken good care of by Jiang Zhen these days. Jiang Zhen asked him to get off the boat first, and he got off the boat first. After getting off the boat, he immediately went towards Zhao Fugui: "Father."

"Nonsense." Zhao Fugui glared at his son: "Why do you let Jiang Zhen carry the burden without knowing how to help?"

His son is really getting worse and worse. How can he let a man carry two burdens and not take anything for himself?

Although he would also help Zhao Liushi carry things, but...he was afraid that Jiang Zhen would dislike his son.

After Jiang Zhen paid the fare, he saw the father-in-law scolding his daughter-in-law, and immediately walked over: "Father, brother Jin is not feeling well."

"It's not uncomfortable, I think he is very strong." Zhao Fugui looked at his son, and found that his son's neckline showed a circle of fur, and then said: "Jiang Zhen, don't give him any good things. Use it, just wear a padded jacket, why let him wear leather?" How can my son spend so much money...

It took less than a month to come back from the capital, and Zhao Jinge was only five months pregnant.In fact, his stomach protruded a lot, but it couldn't be seen because of the thick clothes he was wearing, so Zhao Fugui thought he was wearing too much.

Jiang Zhen was about to tell his father-in-law about Brother Zhao Jin's pregnancy. Zhao Fugui looked around and said in a low voice, "Also, why do you still take the boat when you come back? It costs a lot of money!" Isn't it a waste of money to come back by boat?

Jiang Zhen knew that Zhao Fugui must have misunderstood, and immediately said: "Father, we made a lot of money this trip." Such a back and forth, waiting for the goods in hand to be sold, plus those boats and houses in the capital, his property can With more than 20 taels of silver, he is definitely a rich man. Many of them took the boat together, but it only cost a few tens of pennies, which really didn’t cost much...

Although these days, silver is not as valuable as in previous dynasties, and officials in the DPRK and China charged tens of thousands of taels for every bribe, but 20 taels is already very, very much.

Zhao Fugui thought of Jiang Zhen's love of spending money when he had money in the past, and he didn't believe that Jiang Zhen, who didn't even bring back a piece of pork, would make money this time, but he still gave Jiang Zhen face: "Let's go back and talk about it." .”

Jiang Zhen nodded, and thought it would be better to go back and talk. At this moment, someone suddenly rushed towards this side: "Zhao Fugui, something happened, Mrs. Jiang ran to your house to make trouble!"

After the man shouted, he realized that Jiang Zhen was there, and said, "Jiang Zhen, you're back! You'll be fine once you're back."

Jiang Zhen also knew this person, he was a person in Hexi Village who had a good relationship with the Zhao family.

Now this person says Mrs. Jiang has gone to Zhao's house... What's going on?

Jiang Zhen frowned, and was about to walk home. After walking a few steps, he looked at He Chunsheng and the others: "You guys... send the things to Li's house first."

Li Yuan died, and they should go to Li's house immediately after they came back, but something happened to Zhao Liu's side, so he had to rush there.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely get things done." He Chunsheng said immediately.

Nodding towards He Chunsheng, Jiang Zhen hurried to Zhao's house, and asked the person who came out to report the letter: "What's going on?"

"Jiang Chengcai was cheated out of money. In order to raise money, Mrs. Jiang suggested a... not-so-good marriage to Jiang Xiaomei. As a result, Jiang Xiaomei ran away, and Jiang's family called Zhao's house." The man said humanely.

Jiang Zhen frowned immediately when he heard this.

He didn't like Mrs. Jiang, the butcher, or Jiang Chengcai, Jiang Chengxiang, but he had no feelings for those two sisters-in-law and that nephew. As for Jiang Xiaomei... this was the only person in the Jiang family he liked.

Although this little sister Jiang is not diligent, so she will not help Boss Jiang with work, but she has never bullied Boss Jiang. If there is any delicious food, old lady Jiang will give it to her, and she will leave some for Boss Jiang.

Jiang Zhen used Boss Jiang's body. He also remembered these favors to Boss Jiang. He didn't repay Xiaomei Jiang before. Not particularly bad.

He remembered that when Mrs. Jiang boiled eggs, she would give one to Miss Jiang.

Jiang Xiaomei is different from him, she definitely doesn't want to break the relationship with her parents, the butcher Jiang is also good to her... Under such circumstances, he doesn't need to do anything more, waiting for Jiang Xiaomei to marry in the future, It's enough to give her some silver at the bottom of the box and keep an eye on her husband's family.

Jiang Zhen always thought that the butcher, Mrs. Jiang, would find a good marriage for Jiang Xiaomei no matter what.

Jiang Zhen was in a hurry, but when he saw Zhao Jinge's even more anxious look, he also became worried: "Brother Jin, run slowly and be careful..." There is still a baby in this belly!

Brother Zhao Jin didn't slow down. Jiang Zhen felt trembling watching him running, so he could only guard him carefully.

Seeing this, Zhao Fugui felt more and more that his son was outrageous.

If Jiang Zhen doesn't like him so much in the future... what can he do?

But at this time, the Zhao family was in chaos.

Mrs. Jiang led Jiang Chengcai, Jiang Butcher, and some members of the Jiang family to block Zhao Liu's Sun Xiaoshan at the door of Zhao's house. When she looked at Zhao Liu's family, she looked extremely ferocious.

Mrs. Jiang is in a very bad mood at the moment. Something has happened to their Jiang family now!

The matter of the Jiang family started a month ago.

A month ago, Jiang Chengcai came home suddenly, saying that there was a big business to do, and he just wanted money. At that time, Mrs. Jiang listened carefully to his introduction of the business, but Jiang Butcher didn't believe it, nor was he willing to do it. give money.

After that, Jiang Chengcai clamored for money almost every day, but even if he cried and made trouble and hanged himself, Jiang Butcher still insisted that he had no money, and refused to give out even a tael of silver.

In fact, in the end, Jiang Tuhu was a little moved by Jiang Chengcai, thinking that it was really a good business, and he was able to insist on not giving money, mainly because he had no money in hand.

People of his age can't do such things as "big business" for sale.

Jiang Chengcai quarreled for many days, and finally subsided. Jiang Butcher only thought that he had given up on that big business, so he persuaded him to start some other small businesses—for example, selling food or something when going to the market.

Make some steamed buns, steamed buns, and cakes to sell, and even if you can’t sell them, you can still eat them at home, and you can’t lose a lot of money.

But Jiang Chengcai scoffed at such a business.

After that, Jiang Chengcai spent his days idly at home, just like before.

Butcher Jiang was used to this and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't want to be like this. After ten days or so, Jiang Chengcai became anxious and became more and more anxious. Five days ago, after he came back from outside, he broke down and cried up.

But it turned out that the butcher Jiang had been refusing to give money, and Jiang Chengcai was reluctant to part with that business, so in the end he went to borrow money to invest in that so-called business!

He borrowed 120 taels of silver, and with the 30 taels of silver in his own hand, he pooled 150 taels of silver to those people.

As a result, those people who were said to have spent more than ten days to go out and buy a batch of precious medicinal materials never came back.

Jiang Chengcai waited for a few more days, and finally couldn't sit still, so he went to those people's homes to find someone, only to find that the building was already empty.

The big house in the county where those people lived was actually rented by them!

The pharmacy they took him to said they didn't know those people at all!

The identities of those people are all deceptive!

Jiang Chengcai suddenly collapsed, he was cheated out of 150 taels of silver!

Among them, he still borrowed the 120 taels of silver for profit!

Although Liu Heitou, a profiteer, had already been taken over by Jiang Zhen, in Hecheng County, Liu Heitou was not the only one who did such a "business", and the others were no more benevolent than Liu Heitou.

Jiang Chengcai had agreed with someone to borrow 120 taels of silver and pay them back in a month, and then he would pay them back 130 taels of silver... But now, where would he get the 130 taels of silver?

If he can't take it out, he will pay more and more money, and he will owe more and more money. In the future...

As soon as Jiang Chengcai was in a hurry, he went home and cried.

Butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were so angry that they scolded those cheaters bloody. Butcher Jiang even beat Jiang Chengcai, but after the beating was over, they still had to find a way to solve the problem.

No matter how ugly Jiang Chengcai was, he was also their son, and they definitely wanted to save Jiang Chengcai...Of course, at this time, they couldn't be allowed to stop saving Jiang Chengcai. , will definitely come to them to ask for money.

They...could they just sell the land?

They sold the land last time, and if they sell it now...they will change from rich households in Hexi Village to poor people in Hexi Village!

Butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were reluctant to sell the land, at least they had to find a way to sell less land. After much deliberation, they finally came up with one thing.

Isn't this little sister Jiang talking about others?

Jiang Xiaomei is 16 years old, and someone wants to kiss her, but she hasn't made a decision yet... And if she is set up with a good family now... Maybe she can ask for four or fifty taels of silver or more?

In this way, a few acres of land can be sold less!

After discussing with Mrs. Jiang and Butcher Jiang, they both felt that this matter was feasible, but...those people with a straight face and a good family background who can afford four or fifty taels of bride price, why do they want to marry Jiang Xiaomei?

With such a betrothal gift, even the daughter of a scholar can marry!

Moreover, there are so many families like this that women want to marry. Some of those women's families cherish a little bit, and they can still marry them all after receiving the dowry. Compared with them, Jiang Xiaomei really has no advantage at all.

For ordinary people, 20 taels of dowry is not bad, but the woman’s family gives a lot of dowry, or the man really likes the woman, so they are willing to give a little more, 50 taels, most people are not willing given.

If the parents of the bride's family really want this amount of bride price, it is no longer marrying the daughter, but selling the daughter. At the beginning, Zhao Liu's parents planned to sell her for 40 taels of silver to someone who could be her father. man.

Because of this, it is impossible for Jiang Xiaomei, who wants such a lot of gifts, to marry a better family, especially... Jiang Tuhu and his wife are still in a hurry to ask for money.

Jiang Xiaomei was frightened, she only hoped that no one would buy her, but sometimes it was such a coincidence.

There is a family in the county. They married a daughter-in-law before and couldn't bear children, so they wanted to take another concubine for their son, and they were willing to give 50 taels of silver.

This family is actually not very rich, and even worse than the previous Jiang family. They said they were taking concubines for their sons, but in fact, there was only one son in the family, and they wanted to marry another woman to go back and help. Live... So they have requirements, and they require the woman to be able to bear children and work.

The reputation of that family is really not good. I heard that the daughter-in-law before their son was actually pregnant with a child, and then she was beaten by her husband so that the child was lost, and then she couldn't conceive... Such a family , or as a concubine, most people are of course reluctant to marry their daughters, so they will buy them with 50 taels of silver.

Butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn't know about those things, but they agreed, but Miss Jiang refused, and they even told her a lesson.

"The man hit the wife in front of him, but he might not hit you."

"Although I'm a concubine, the older one won't give birth. After you give birth, everything in the family will be yours. Isn't it great?"

"Little sister, what else do you want to marry? If you can marry such a family, you will be blessed!"

……

The Jiang family all said so, but the truth is definitely not the case... Jiang Xiaomei made some random inquiries and found out more information.

For example, although the family lived in the county town and opened a small shop selling sauces, they didn't make much money. The women in the family had to weave cloth and sell it for money.

For another example, the son of that family beat his wife very hard, and the one in front was almost beaten to death.

When she married, she was not only a concubine, but she also had to work non-stop... Just thinking about it, Jiang Xiaomei was not happy, but after the family came to the door, they fell in love with Jiang Xiaomei at a glance, and agreed to pay the money with one hand today One-handed handover—since it is someone who becomes a concubine, there is naturally no need for marriage.

Butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang had made a deal with Xiaomei Jiang, and they were waiting to get the money. As a result... until today, they couldn't find Xiaomei Jiang.

Finally, they found the Zhao family.

"Ms. Zhao Liu, hurry up and hand over my daughter! If you don't hand me over again, I won't be polite!" Old lady Jiang said.

Zhao Liushi was a little frightened: "I really don't know where Miss Jiang is."

"How could you not know that someone saw her coming towards you!" Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhao Liushi angrily: "Aside from you, who else would hide my daughter?"

"I really don't know... Okay, why would I hide your daughter?" Zhao Liushi just felt wronged. She had heard that the Jiang family had told Jiang Xiaomei about such a marriage before. The person said a few words, but she definitely did not hide Jiang Xiaomei.

With Jiang Zhen not around, she dared not offend anyone.

"Didn't you go around saying that we were not good to Jiang Xiaomei? Who are you?" Mrs. Jiang hated Zhao Liushi a long time ago, and now she went up and slapped Zhao Liushi: "You man It's not a good thing, not to mention abducting my son, but also trying to take away my daughter, you just don't want me to live a good life, don't you?"

"The Jiang family, why are you beating someone?" The village chief Jiang Ping hurried over and was taken aback.

"What's wrong with me hitting someone? This stinky bitch is trying to kill me! Why can't I beat her?" Mrs. Jiang cried, "My daughter is missing, she was probably abducted, village chief, you have to decide for me ah!"

"There is no proof, how could it be that she was abducted?" Jiang Ping said, but his words were quickly drowned out by the voices of the Jiang family who came with Mrs. Jiang.

"Someone saw Xiaomei Jiang coming. It wasn't her who hid it, but who hid it?"

"Zhao Liushi, quickly hand over Jiang Xiaomei, you will be fine if you hand over Jiang Xiaomei."

"Or let's do a search."

……

The life of the Zhao family is getting better and better, and there are more and more jealous people in the village. Now that Jiang Zhen has been away for more than four months, he doesn't know when he will come back, and he may not even come back... These people want to come to the Jiang family to take advantage up.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had another idea: "Ms. Zhao and Liu, you lose money! You hid my daughter and ruined my daughter's marriage, so you have to pay me money!"

"This...why make me lose money." Zhao Liushi said while covering her face when she was beaten. Sun Xiaoshan tried to protect her, but he was already trembling.

"I won't leave until you pay me!" Mrs. Jiang said again.At first, she didn't want to make Zhao Liushi lose money, but now the more she thinks about it, the more she thinks it's a good idea, and her eyes light up.

"Nonsense! From the Jiang family, your daughter is not a child. She ran away by herself. Why did you have to pay Zhao and Liu?" Jiang Ping said, and at this time, some people from the village came.

These people were all close to the Zhao family or disliked the Jiang family, so they naturally blamed Mrs. Jiang at this time.

"From the Jiang family, it doesn't count if you sell your daughter, you're here to blackmail me!"

"You from the Jiang family are too much."

"Why do you say that Zhao and Liu are Tibetans?"

"I really want money and want to go crazy!"

……

The number of these people is much more than the people brought by Mrs. Jiang. When Mrs. Jiang saw these people, she knew that her request for money from the Zhao family would probably not succeed.

At most, she could only take Jiang Xiaomei back.

But at this time, someone came and pulled the red-eyed Jiang Xiaomei: "Little sister, she is hiding in the woods by the river and crying..."

Jiang Xiaomei was not in the Zhao family at all, and the place where she was found was still far away from the Zhao family.

The eyes of the villagers looking at Mrs. Jiang suddenly changed. Even the people who came with her were embarrassed. They heard Mrs. Jiang say a lot, and they believed that Jiang Xiaomei came only when she was in Zhao's house. As a result... Miss Jiang isn't there at all?

Mrs. Jiang was stared at by so many people, she couldn't hold back her face for a while, and suddenly scolded Zhao Liushi: "Zhao Liushi, don't be complacent, even if your family is better off now, the money is still mine in the end. Son's!"

"Brother Zhao Jin of your family is infertile. In the future, if my son wants to carry on the family, he must take a concubine."

"Go and raise my grandson!"

……

"You nonsense!" Zhao Liushi was not very angry when he was beaten before, but now he was really angry.

"Where am I talking nonsense? I'm telling the truth! The matchmaker has already said that your son can't be born!" Old lady Jiang said.

Then, without knowing who it was, he suddenly shouted: "Jiang Zhen is back!"

Jiang Zhen is back? !Mrs. Jiang trembled, wishing she could turn around and run away.

However, Jiang Zhen pushed aside the crowd and came in.
