Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

As soon as Xiao Yunyue left, the young man's drinking speed accelerated. Just now he drank water slowly because he wanted to get in close contact with his sweetheart. Now that his sweetheart left, he had to drink water quickly to help with work.

Ben is a hardworking person, and he can't do things like sneaking around.

While drinking, from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of his sweetheart's little uncle, the talented master who had earned them a lot of face in the village, standing at the door of the main room, looking at him with an unclear expression.

"Cough cough cough three, three brothers."

Scared and choked, the young man put down the water bowl in embarrassment, and greeted Xiao Le at a loss.

Xiao Le has his hands behind his back, most of his clothes are long robes that scholars often wear, unlike young people who wear more short shirts for the convenience of work.

"Ren Cong, how is your sister San Niangzi?"

Ren Cong thought that Xiao Le would ask him something, but he didn't expect the other party to ask about his sister. The Ren family has been neighbors of the Xiao family for many years, and the family is honest.

Mother Ren is about the same age as Mother Xiao, but her life is much more miserable than Mother Xiao. She gave birth to four children in total, the first two were boys, but neither of them lived past the age of five, and they only had one after many years. Ren Sanniang.

When Mrs. Xiao had Xiao Yunyue, Mother Ren suddenly felt happy, but because she was old, Father Ren didn't want her to give birth to this child, but Mother Ren didn't want to, so he even got into an awkward fight with Father Ren. I went back to my mother's house for a few days.

In the end, because he couldn't screw her up, Ren's father had no choice but to compromise, and only then did he have a servant who was two months younger than Xiao Yunyue.

The meaning of the name Ren Cong is actually very important. When Ren Tong "ren," is taken apart, there are two more people. Ren, that's three people. This is the addition of Ren Cong's two undeveloped elder brothers. Let him go.

I hope that Ren Cong can take those two children and have a good time in the world.

The third lady Ren was as old as the second sister-in-law Xiao, and through a matchmaker, she married a coffin seller in the next town. The family name was Yang, and her husband was Yang Tongcai.

Mrs. Ren San who married into the Yang family had two sons, one was as old as Xiao Yunxing, and the other was three years younger than Xiao Yunxing. With two sons, she gained a foothold in the Yang family and lived a pretty good life.

But because the family sells coffins, not many people are willing to play with them.

"It's very good. Not long ago, my sister and brother-in-law brought their two nephews back to see their parents."

Ren Cong replied honestly.

"Do you know that your brother-in-law has a brother? Since the two are twins, one of them was sent away on the same day because of the taboo of business at home after birth?"

Ren Cong really didn't know.

He looked at Xiao Le in a daze, looking stupid.

Xiao Le gave him a slightly disgusted look, then didn't know why he was angry, and walked into the room with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only one sentence, "Just tell your parents this when you go back."

"……Eh."

Ren Cong scratched his head and responded again and again, but he didn't go back immediately, but first helped with the work, and when he was eating at noon, he ran home with a bowl and first shared the two pieces of meat in the bowl with his parents Afterwards, the rice was grilled with broth.

"Father, does my brother-in-law have brothers?"

Ren's father was scolding him for eating at another house, and brought back two pieces of meat, a little shameless, he was stunned for a moment.

"How do you find out about this?"

Ren's mother was reluctant to eat the meat, and wanted to give it to Ren Cong, but Ren Cong hid it, and then passed Xiao Le's words to his parents, "That's what third uncle told me, I don't know what it means .”

After the two elders of the Ren family heard this, they were very disturbed. Father Ren didn't even eat any food. As soon as he got up, Mother Ren grabbed him, "Don't worry."

"Why are you not in a hurry? Did you forget what Sanniang told you last time when she came back? I think there is something wrong with that person!"

Father Ren trembled with anger, "He used to love our chili sauce the most, but when he came that day, he didn't eat a single bite!"

Seeing this battle, Ren Cong panicked, and he also put down his bowl and chopsticks, saying that Yang Tongcai has a little secret that only his family knows.

Yang's mother doesn't eat spicy food, so the food at home is rarely spicy. Yang Tongcai has developed a habit of not eating spicy food since he was a child, but after he married Ren Sanniang, he ate a table with spicy food on the day he returned home. Food, fell in love with it immediately.

But because he knew that his mother didn't like spicy food, he never mentioned that he wanted spicy food at home. If he was hungry, he would take his wife and children back to Yue's house for a meal.

But the last time they came back, the parents first saw their daughter's haggard face, and when they were eating, they were surprised to find that the son-in-law didn't touch spicy dishes, and only ate some egg custard, which the children loved.

It turned out that Ren's father was suspicious and wondered if he was on fire and didn't want to eat spicy food. Ren's mother also blamed herself and should ask a few more questions before cooking.

I don't want to leave the table, the man said to his daughter as if complaining: "I have never eaten spicy food, but it's good to be at your house, there is nothing I can eat on the table."

This remark surprised the two elders, and when the man was playing with the children in the yard, Ren Sanniang talked about her husband's abnormalities for more than a month, and also said that she smelled other fragrances on her husband.

At that time, Ren's mother comforted Mrs. Ren San, and Ren's father secretly followed the man for half a month, and found that there was nothing unusual, but during that time, he often drank with the shopkeeper of the cosmetics shop, so he was relieved and let his daughter feel at ease.

I don't want my son to come back today and suddenly say such a sentence, and it was Xiao Xiucai who asked him to bring it back!

There must be something big in this!

If the people I met that day were brothers of the son-in-law, where is their son-in-law?So what now!

Thinking of this, the three of them were very anxious. Fortunately, the most sensible mother Ren stopped the father and son who wanted to find their daughter.

"Can this one thing expose him? His parents don't even know that he eats spicy food in our house!"

Can you trust them?Maybe they still think that their family is making trouble for no reason. If the fake son-in-law takes the opportunity to attack their grandson and daughter, it will be over!

"Father," Ren Cong wiped his face fiercely, "Third brother won't say that for no reason, how about we ask him to explain it in detail?"

"go!"

"Just go like this?" Mother Ren stomped her feet again, ran back to the room and opened the cabinet, and took two pieces of wind meat sent by her daughter before, "He is a scholar after all, and he kindly reminded us, are you willing to come to the door empty-handed?" ?”

Following her anxious voice, the family of three came to Xiao's house where they were eating.

"Ren Cong is talking about you boy! He disappeared after eating and eating. Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren came over to sit! Yun Lan added two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

Father Xiao greeted them warmly.

Xiao Le got up first and blocked the door of the main room, "Ren Cong take the meat back, Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren, please sit here, Yunyue, pour some water over here."

Under Xiao Le's arrangement, the anxious three people gradually calmed down.

"This meat is a little bit of our heart, you..."

"No need," Xiao Le raised his hand to intercept Ren's father's words, and his eyes fell on Ren Cong, "Why don't you mention it?"

Ren Cong gritted his teeth, ran home to put it away, and ran back quickly.

It was only then that the Xiao family saw that the faces of the three members of the Ren family were not good, as if they had encountered some serious event. After eating in twos and twos, Father Xiao asked a few boys to clean up the table and let them go to the kitchen to eat slowly. Father Ren, please sit down at the table.

All the adults were sitting in the main room, and the children had all gone to the kitchen, but Mother Xiao was still worried, so she asked Brother Xiao to close both the courtyard door and the main room door.

Now the main room was dark for a while, Xiao Le sighed softly, got up and opened the door of the main room, the sun slanted in, and he stood at the door again, as if with holy light on his body.

Seeing that the Ren family was excited and anxious again.

"I'm just guessing, too."

Xiao Le sat on the bench and looked at the Ren family calmly, "Two months ago, I ran into brother-in-law Yang in the county seat and said a few words. I watched him get on the ox cart to Fucheng. He also He just told me to go to Fucheng, but he didn't tell me what to do there."

In fact, the original owner was unwilling to deal with Yang Tongcai, because the Yang family's coffin business was very unlucky, so in the past, even if the original owner met the couple at the door of their house, they were unwilling to say a word or say hello.

But the original owner invited someone to dinner that day, and the money was not enough, and it happened that Yang Tongcai was eating next door, so the original owner set a trick for him, and attracted the other party to settle the bill generously for him.

Xiao Le would not ignore the immoral things he did to the original owner.

"But it's strange. After only half a month, I met brother-in-law Yang again in the county seat. He lost weight, became darker, and had many calluses on his hands," Xiao Le paused when he said this, and he stood up. Come to Boss Xiao, take his right hand and let him spread it out.

"Sister-in-law Yang's family is in the coffin business. Those coffins were made by their father and son. Most of the calluses on their hands were on their fingers. But the brother-in-law Yang I saw that day had more calluses on the palms and fewer fingers. Rest, half a month won't let the cocoon become like that."

Hearing this, Ren's mother was choked up, and Ren's father was also red-eyed.

Ren Cong hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the Xiao family was still a little confused.

"It just so happens that I have another classmate, who happens to be from their town. Brother-in-law Yang invited us to our table that day and settled the bill for us. Later, when I met Brother-in-law Yang, I mentioned a few words to that classmate. I want to ask brother-in-law Yang how he is, and whether he has any grudges against evil people."

"I don't want that classmate to talk about it, just mention that brother-in-law Yang has a brother..."

Those who are in business or are high officials in the court are very taboo to have twins in their family. They think that one is a debt collector and the other is a debt repayment.

Only by sending out the one who doesn't like it, the life at home will not be affected.

Yang Tongcai's brother was sent out. As for who it was sent to, the classmate didn't know.

The reason why they knew this was because Yang Tongcai stayed at home after the child was sent away, but many things happened at home, and the Yang family thought they had kept the wrong person, so they wanted to exchange the child.

At that time, Mrs. Yang was still there, she was talking nonsense, and she walked out of the house and plunged into the crowd to tell the story.

This led everyone in the town to know that the Yang family had given birth to a pair of twins, one was sent out, and the other was kept, and it seemed that the wrong one was kept.

"No matter how much a person changes, the cocoon can't change so fast. The last time brother-in-law Yang and the others came back to see you, I purposely went up and said a few words to brother-in-law Yang when he was taking the child out for a stroll."

This is not nonsense, because the original owner wanted to find out if the other party had told Ren's family about paying him the bill, fearing that it would be bad for his reputation.

"I didn't directly say that he paid for our table in the restaurant that day, but I said that the classmate saw him in the restaurant, but because he seemed to have something to go faster, he didn't go up to say hello, unexpectedly Brother-in-law Yang didn't have any doubts, instead he said that he was really in a hurry, because he was going to Fucheng, so he probably didn't hear it."

Xiao Le's voice gradually turned cold, "From that moment on, I suspected that there was something wrong with Brother-in-law Yang, but I didn't have any proof. I've been to Xihe Town, and I stayed for a long time not far from the coffin shop. That person was talking and laughing, under such circumstances, I dare not rush forward to tell my guess."

This is nonsense, the original owner has never been there.

"But the more I think about it, the more uneasy I become. Ren came home today and reminded me of this matter again, so I asked him to bring me such a sentence."

Now the Xiao family also understood what was going on.

Sister Xiao and Second Sister Xiao looked extremely ugly. They are still women, so they naturally understand that if that person is really not the husband of the third lady, but an uncle or uncle, then no matter what happens with this case, will the life of the third lady be okay in the future? ?

Xiao's mother hugged Ren's mother who was already crying. She watched San Niangzi grow up, and she didn't have a daughter, so she liked San Niangzi very much. Now hearing this, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Of course, if my guess is wrong, then it is naturally the best."

Father Ren shook his head at Xiao Le's words, and his spirit lost a lot, "Probably right, we have nothing to hide now, in fact, when Sanniang came back that day, she told us in private There are quite a few weird things about the son-in-law, most of them are the changes when they get along in private..."

He talked about stalking the other party, and about seeing the other party drinking with the shopkeeper of the cosmetics shop, and he comforted his daughter to think about it. At this moment, he wished to slap himself twice.

They have been with their son-in-law for so many years, but they can't compare to Xiao Le, who doesn't talk to his son-in-law very often!

Ren Cong stood up at this moment, "Report to the officer."

Mrs. Xiao exclaimed, and quickly said, "Report this matter to the officials, and the third lady can..."

Now the mother also hesitated, she raised her red and swollen eyes to look at her youngest son.

Ren Cong clenched his fists, and said in a hoarse voice, "But if you don't report to the official, that person will occupy my sister for the rest of her life! He will also make two nephews recognize the thief as their father!"

These words silenced everyone in the hall.

In the afternoon, Brother Xiao rushed to Xihe Town. He first observed the coffin shop not far away. After seeing that the man was not there, he quickly stepped into the shop and said to the third lady who was very surprised to see him. , "Your father is seriously ill, and your mother is too sad and fainted. Let the kid worry about something, let me pick up your mother and son to go back and have a look."

Mrs. Ren San felt weak all over when she heard the words, and almost fell to the ground. Her mother-in-law immediately said, "What are you doing in a daze! Take the child back and have a look!"

"I, I'll call the child right away!"

Mrs. Ren San pinched herself severely, held back her tears, turned and ran into the backyard.

Mother Yang chatted with Brother Xiao and asked how his in-laws were sick and how long they had been sick. Brother Xiao replied as Xiao Le said.

"But Tongcai and his father went to the countryside to collect wood. According to the past habits, it would take three to five days to come back. This..."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will explain to Aunt Ren and the others, and I will never misunderstand Brother Yang."

Mother Yang nodded repeatedly when she heard the words.

When brother Xiao dragged Mrs. Ren and the three of them into the bullock cart and returned to Ren's house, Father Ren was indeed lying on the bed, Mother Ren sat beside the bed and sighed, and Mrs. Ren cried bitterly, kneeling beside the bed and calling for her father.

Mrs. Xiao had already asked Xiao Yunxing to call the two children to their Xiao's house, and sister Xiao Yunyue would watch over them and not let them come out of the yard.

Knowing what happened, Mrs. Ren San cried and laughed, "It's fine as long as you're fine, as long as you're fine."

When she calmed down and the Xiao and Ren families were sitting in the Ren family hall, Mrs. Ren wiped her tears and said.

"He's not my husband."

These words surprised everyone.

Xiao Le asked, "When did you find out?"

"My husband, don't I know?"

Mrs. Ren San trembled and burst into tears, "The last time I went back to my mother's house, I was actually testing him. He knew all my husband's habits in front of outsiders, but he didn't know his favorite spicy sauce at my mother's house!"

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing he didn't touch me after he got home, but I know the reason. It's because I'm afraid I'll find out. After all, my husband and I are the closest people."

"San Niang," Ren's mother wept, "Since you found out, why didn't you come back and tell us? You still let your father listen to what you said, and we thought you didn't know."

"I don't want my parents to worry about me," Ren Sanniang wiped away tears, "I originally thought that when the children grow up and leave home, I'll kill them..."

"Sanniang!"

Everyone was startled, but Mrs. Xiao and the others also understood.

"What do you want to do now?"

After Xiao Le waited for the Ren family to calm down, he asked.

"I don't know...the kids are young..."

Everyone knows about Ren Sanniang's concerns, but it's too scary to let a man who is suspected of killing her husband stay at home.

As they thought, the man didn't dare to touch Sanniang, maybe he was afraid that Sanniang would find something wrong in the married life, but what if Sanniang died?

No one knew it was discovered.

Thinking of this, everyone felt chills down their spines.

They are all honest peasants. When have they ever seen such a case? What they have heard before are mostly vendettas. This...

"We can investigate secretly," Second Brother Xiao pursed his lips and stood up.

A group of people looked over.

Second Aunt Xiao explained, "My natal family has a cousin who knows a yamen servant. You can ask him to help us look it up."

Xiao Le knew the servant, and it was precisely because the servant knew Mrs. Xiao and the others, so in the original text, when Brother Xiao and the others were beaten with a cane, the servant was among the people who beat them. Playing the board is also skillful.

"If we investigate slowly and take him down in one fell swoop, I'm willing," Mrs. Ren San nodded repeatedly. In fact, she was also worried. The man made excuses to live in the front shop these days, but in case he met her mother and child What about the three of them?

I'm afraid that even the last bit of blood of her husband will not be preserved.

That night, Mrs. Ren San lived in, and the next afternoon she wanted to leave the children at her mother's house and go back to her in-law's house by herself.

This is really worrying, but Mrs. Ren San is not afraid, "That person is constantly drinking with people my husband is familiar with. After this one and two acquaintances, there are times when my parents-in-law don't know each other, but I know them." , he still needs my reminder."

That's what he said, but Xiao Le said otherwise.

"Then you are wrong. If you are a smart person, he will kill you first, and then pretend to be distraught. It's just that he was so sad that he smashed his head, so he switched sexes."

These words made Mrs. Ren get goosebumps.

"It doesn't matter if you're not in the shop," Xiao Le suggested, "I'll go to the shop and talk to your mother-in-law, let you temporarily stay at your mother's house to take care of your parents, and it won't be too late to go back when your parents are better."

"Listen to Xiao Xiucai," Mother Ren quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and said.

"Sister, listen to the third brother," Ren Cong asked her to sit down directly.

Xiao Le is naturally worried about going to Xihe Town alone, but Xiao Le said, "There is a private school in Xihe Town, and it is inviting a teacher now. I will go over there to see if I can stay It's okay, isn't the second brother going back to the second sister-in-law's family? Let's drop by, let's go together. "

Sister-in-law Xiao's natal family is on the edge of Xihe Town.

As a result, Second Brother Xiao directly sent Xiao Le to Xihe Town, explained the situation to Mother Yang together with him, and then went to the private school with Xiao Le, and it turned out that the private school had found a teacher, and Xiao Le was not disappointed, and went with him He went to find the second sister-in-law's cousin together.

They just said that the person who was looking for the yamen had a private matter, and knowing that Xiao Le was a scholar, the cousin immediately borrowed an ox cart and took them to the county yamen.

They didn't go through the main entrance, but stood at the back door for almost half an hour, when a lady delivering food came by the back door, my cousin immediately went up to talk to her and gave back a few pennies.

The mother-in-law quickly grabbed the copper plate into her hand, and then said with a smile, "People have died outside the city. I'm busy. If you want to find the scorpion, you have to wait at least another hour."

Xiao Le looked up at the sky, it was getting late, if he waited any longer, he would not even think about going back tonight.

"Mother gave me money," Second Brother Xiao saw him looking at the sky, and immediately understood, he leaned over and said in a low voice, "I also have money for treating my cousin to dinner."

"Then how about going to eat first?"

Xiao Le glanced at his cousin who was rubbing his belly with his hands.

So the three of them found a restaurant facing the street to eat, and after sitting for a while, they walked on the street towards the county government.

Before he arrived, he heard footsteps coming from not far away.

"There is the sound of emboli, they are back!"

The cousin was surprised.

Xiao Le and Second Brother Xiao turned around and saw a dozen people in black and red robes coming from around the corner.

The most eye-catching one is the one walking in the front, holding an official knife, tall and straight, with slightly raised eyebrows, straight nose, thin lips like a knife, eyes like stars, and a dusty body with a bit of... banditry?

Anyway, it doesn't look very right.

Xiao Le stared at the man for a while, until he stopped in front of him, and then retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to turn around, the man who stopped in front of him opened his mouth.

"Little brother, why are you staring at my lower body?"

Xiao Le sprained his foot and almost fell to the ground, and the group behind the man also burst out laughing upon hearing this.

The author has something to say: Someone: You are a cat staring at the crotch.

Lele: I am not.

Someone: You are.

Lele: I am not.

Someone: You are.

Lele: ...

When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it.
