iron face man laughing husband

So he is not very clear about all the inside stories here.

"It's true." Yuan Fulang said: "Actually, the night you left, Xu Xiaomei didn't go home for the night. Elder Xu even quietly searched for her family members and went out to look for her, but they couldn't find her!"

"She left that day?" Brother Xiao's eyes widened.

"Yeah, it was done quietly at first, but after you left, it's been three days, and I haven't found it, but it's troublesome. She hasn't left the house yet, so she hasn't returned home for several days, and her reputation is bad. Now, Boss Xu is angry and wants to report to the officials!" Yuan Fulang said: "Master Xu was crying at home, and the incident started, and everyone in Xu felt that Xu Xiaomei was embarrassing the old Xu family. Let old Xu's family sweep Xu Xiaomei out, because old Xu still has a daughter!"

What the village cares more about is the reputation. In such a large area, if any cat or dog has a litter of cubs, people will ask how many males and how many females, let alone such a big matter.

"Xu Xiaomei just ran away with that shopkeeper Liu?" Brother Xiao couldn't believe it: "At the beginning, the old Xu family said that people who were not rich and noble would not marry Xu Xiaomei. The old lady of the Xu family rejected several families back then. marriage proposal."

When Xu Xiaomei was not yet 15 years old, someone fell in love with her, but Xu Chen's family didn't agree, and insisted on marrying Xu Xiaomei to a good family.

It's no wonder that Xu Xiaomei has a good relationship with Brother Ming, both of them want to climb high, but at least Brother Ming married a butcher king and gave birth to a boy.

But Xu Xiaomei wasted her years. She is almost 20 years old and has no family yet.

When Tie Qing heard this, she walked over: "Xu Xiaomei eloped with someone?"

"It should be, Master, you don't know, you just walked away, didn't something happen to your back foot? Boss Xu still wanted to come to our house to have a look, so Sun Kong pushed back. The door of our house is not If it's open, unless it's a bird flying in with wings, otherwise, it won't be able to climb in, not to mention that our family is all young men, only a female family member, Xinghua's sister-in-law is still cooking in the kitchen." Yuan Fulang said loudly : "I still want to go to Lao Xiao's house, but I was scolded by Miss Xiao and went back. There is no one in Lao Xiao's house. Why go to others to see? The Four Seasons Grocery Store is for people to see. After watching, no one is there. Instead, it makes a mess. .”

It turned out that Aunt Xiao's house had been visited by the old Xu's family.

But there is no one in the Four Seasons grocery store, let alone a family of women, who can casually go and see it?Mr. Xu went in, came out crying, and even told Aunt Xiao some things in his heart.

But it can't make up for that embarrassing scene.

"Xu Xiaomei is really..." Brother Xiao didn't know what to say.

"Let's not worry about other people's affairs. Hurry up and unload the car and make dinner. Let's eat at home tonight. The uncle will come back with the old mother-in-law and the old man. Don't make a fire to cook. It's so late. " Tie Qing said: "It's ready-made at home, take a bite."

"Okay, Li Jun and I will come over later." Xiao Wei and Li Jun took back all the things belonging to the old Xiao's house in the car.

Old Aunt Xiao also went back. It was convenient for the first two young men in the family to be there.

Because the weather was cold, I burned the kang and boiled hot water in the pot. After washing up, Old Xiao Boss also came back, washed his face without saying anything, and went to Erxu's house for dinner.

Aunt Xinghua is at Tie Qing's house, so she can eat ready-made food when she comes back, and saves Aunt Xiao from having to light a fire to cook when she comes back.

"Xu Xiaomei really ran away with someone?" Brother Xiao couldn't help but asked.

Li Jun also said enthusiastically: "Yes, Old Uncle Xiao, what's going on?"

"The scandal of the old Xu's family." When the old chief Xiao mentioned this, he felt bad luck: "Xu Xiaomei did run away with someone, Shopkeeper Liu, she has been running away for several days, and she disappeared the day we left , the old Xu family has been looking for it for the past few days, if Tie Qing hadn't gone to the county town, his family would like to invite Tie Qing to go to the mountain to have a look, don't run to the mountain, right?"

"Then can we run up the mountain?" Old Aunt Xiao said, "It's getting cold on the mountain right now. If you want to eat and drink, you don't have anything to drink. Go to the mountain to seek death?"

"That's right, Boss Xu is really in a hurry to go to the doctor." Old boss Xiao said: "I have to go to the county seat tomorrow. I heard that Liu's house is in the county seat. If he didn't leave...even if he took Xu Xiaomei back Let him go to the old Xu's house to propose marriage, Xu Xiaomei will marry him, this matter is covered up, if he is not here, then we can only report to the official."

"But, what name do you use to report to the official?" Brother Xiao asked his father with chopsticks in his hand.

Tie Qing picked up a chicken thigh for him, this is homemade chicken stew with mushrooms.

"Let's just say that she kidnapped a girl out of the house." Lao Boss Xiao said, "Even if Xu Xiaomei finds her back, her reputation will be ruined, and she probably won't have any good marriages."

After running away with people for so many days, everyone can imagine what can happen.

"Abducting human beings is a serious crime. If caught, Shopkeeper Liu will probably have no way to survive." Li Jun said: "At least he must be dispatched to the army for eight thousand miles. If Xu Xiaomei suffers any losses, the other party may beheaded and half killed."

"If you sell people slightly, you will be punished with the same crime." Tie Qing said: "If you sell people slightly to cause injury or disability, you will be sentenced to death; No pardon."

In ancient times, there was a happy event of amnesty for the world, but some serious crimes would not be included in the amnesty.

This is called "ten heinous crimes without forgiveness". In fact, there are not only ten serious crimes, but also some other crimes that cannot be pardoned.

"My brother-in-law is very familiar with the law?" Xiao Wei glanced at Tieqing.

"It's okay. I bought three copies of the "Dazhen Codex". To be a human being, you still need to be sensible and understand the law in order not to break the law and obey the law honestly." Tie Qing said lightly: "Our family is in the local area. It can be regarded as a big business, but you can’t make mistakes.”

Li Jun smiled: "Tie Qing is really a cautious person."

"I can't help it. Our family is just ordinary people with no backing. Only by obeying the law can we live in peace and happiness." Tie Qing put another piece of chicken wing in the middle of Xiaogeer's mouth: "Eat well."

There is still a grain of rice on the corner of Brother Xiao's mouth: "Got it."

Tie Qing raised his hand, took the grain of rice for him, and ate it by himself.

Brother Xiao's face flushed, he lowered his head and quickly ate his meal.

It doesn't matter if it's green, it's normal.

Others, on the other hand, were unintentionally stuffed with dog food.

"Going to the county seat tomorrow, you should take that small car and let Tieli drive the car for you." Tie Qing said: "Or let uncle go?"

"Let Tieli come with me. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, take someone to the mountain, and some dead trees will come out. The weather is getting colder." Old boss Xiao said: "No one can come tomorrow Collecting food, but the shopkeeper Song Hui will come the day after tomorrow. They will definitely collect the food. What time is it? If we don’t collect it, we will sell it to other people. It's not a problem."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Tie Qing nodded, and the family really needed to get some firewood back. Firewood was a must, otherwise, what would they burn in winter?

After eating, everyone dispersed.

The next day, Old Chief Xiao went to Shulin Town with the old chief, and took the young chief to the county government. This time they came, they still lived in the inn, and Tieli paid Accommodation fees, meals ordered.

As for Tie Qing, he took people, plus brother-in-law, brothers Shao Xiaobo and Shao Xiaoke, long-term workers and Li Jun, up the mountain.

They went up the mountain with more than wood knives, wooden saws and axes.

In addition to cutting dead wood, you also need self-defense, and of course, hunting.

A group of people went up the mountain and walked a long way. They lived on the mountain that night. The next day, they found a lot of dead wood, felled it, and transported it down the mountain.

Tie Qing's family had stockpiled thirty dead trees, including their branches and roots, which could be used as firewood.

There are also ten trees from Lao Xiao's house and five trees from Lao Shao's house.

In addition, Tie Qing entrusted someone to buy back ten carts of coal and ten carts of charcoal.

Tie Qing and the others had been busy for three to five days before they were basically done. But Tie Qing started chopping wood at home to store firewood for the winter, and the people in the family rubbed corn when they had nothing to do. Corn husks are also good fuel.

No worse than wood.

And these days Tie Qing is busy, and the old boss Xiao is not idle.

The boy came back, and the old boss Xiao felt that he was full of vitality, and his life had a bright future.

This person's spirit was different, and Aunt Xiao even made new clothes for Xiao Wei, Shao Xiaobo, and Li Jun.

Three or five days later, the shopkeeper Song Hui came. He didn't come by himself, but brought Mrs. Song and Miss Song. The female relative went directly to the Four Seasons Grocery Store.

Aunt Xiao received them: "The yard at the back is empty, but the house, the doors and windows inside are all new, the kang mats are also newly laid, and the quilts are all brand new."

Mrs. Song took a look at the house, it was indeed new, it seemed that Tie Qing was very generous!

Miss Song felt that although the house was new, it could be seen that Tie Qing cared about Xiao Fulang.

But I also feel that the people from Lao Xiao's family are taking advantage of Tie Qing. Such a house, plus this pavement, even if it is in the village, will cost at least 300 taels of silver, right?

She really didn't miscalculate.

But she didn't know that Aunt Xiao's IOU to Tie Qing was not for nothing, let alone money for Tie Qing.

Aunt Xiao has a strong personality.

"Okay, let's just live here. We cook our own food, and you will be indispensable before the firewood." Mrs. Song thinks this place is also good, it is next to Lao Tie's house.

Isn't that right, Aunt Xiao's house is next to Tie Qing's house, but the wall is too high, it is impossible for ordinary people to climb the wall, and those who can climb the wall must be ordinary people.

"That's fine!" Aunt Xiao felt that although they were all women, they were a little arrogant and looked down on her, but they came from the town, and they opened a shop in the county town, so they seemed to be rich. As if you couldn't see it.

When this group of women entered the backyard, Aunt Xiao sent her three daughters to look at the shop. Many days ago, when she heard that they were coming, Aunt Xiao and the four of them cleaned up the backyard. Those who live in the front yard, now the back yard is vacant, just for the distinguished guests.

They settled in quickly, arrived at noon, settled in the afternoon, and then started to cook dinner.

A meal of frying and frying, these are the ingredients that come with you!

Aunt Xiao and her three daughters had a simple dinner, just stewed vermicelli with cabbage and big pancakes.

However, one big goose egg per person, eat with dipping sauce, and green onions, standard farm meal.

After dinner, one of the big maids brought by the honored guests in the backyard came out and gave Aunt Xiao ten taels of silver: "Our accommodation fee, but we brought few things. Your family has cultivated chickens, ducks, and geese. Like, we also buy some to eat."

"Yes, yes, there are plenty of chickens, ducks, geese, and occasionally wild animals. When the time comes, I will let you know." Aunt Xiao naturally smiled when she took the money. She is now in debt and must make money.

"Okay, when the time comes, our wife will not be stingy with money." The eldest maid went back very reserved, and told the wife and miss the good news.

"Wild thing? Is it from Tie Qing?" Mrs. Song touched the gold bracelet in her hand: "It seems that Tie Qing is in good health? They are all landlords, and they are still hunting."

Miss Song said shyly, "Mom, can I see him tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will visit tomorrow." Mrs. Song patted her daughter's hand with a smile: "When we see him, with your pretty face, you won't be fascinated by him."

When Miss Song thought of Li Qing, her cheeks flushed.

Tie Qing still doesn't know that someone misses him.

That night, he and Brother Xiao had dinner at Lao Xiao's house. Aunt Xiao's cooking depended on big geese, and killed three big geese.

"Old father-in-law, tomorrow I will go with you to the old village head's house to wait for the grain collection. The house has already been prepared. I sold two-thirds of the grain, and I will keep the rest for food." Tie Qing said: "Let's laugh." Just stay at home bro."

"Success." Lao Boss Xiao said: "After selling the grain tomorrow, there will be no other major issues."

"The rest is to prepare for the winter." Old Aunt Xiao sighed: "Prepare all kinds of food, usually we will not go out."

Tie Qing thought of one thing: "Then after I sell the grain, go and buy some cattle and sheep."

"I'll also buy some sheep." Xiao Wei said, "Drinking sheep soup in winter is a kind of enjoyment."

When they were fighting outside, they didn't drink mutton soup a few times.

Brother Xiao ate a big goose leg, and ate two goose hearts, and it was almost enough. There was also a sliced ​​cabbage with vinegar on the table, which was more appetizing, and he didn't eat less.

Tie Qing even picked up several chopsticks for him.

Xiao Wei lowered his eyes, he felt that this brother-in-law was very kind to his younger brother, but being kind was a bit sticky.

But Tie Qing didn't think so, he gnawed the heads of the two big geese clean, and Old Chief Xiao took a look: "You are young, you just have good teeth."

Tie Qing was happy, old Aunt Xiao gave Tie Qing two big goose palms: "Eat, you should eat well when you are young, otherwise you will not have such good teeth when you are old."
