When the three left, Brother Xiao was still sleeping.

When he got up, the sun was drying his ass, and it was almost noon.

Yuan Fulang brought him a large bowl of cabbage stewed gnocchi soup.

Brother Xiao wore a piece of homely clothes and sat on the kang outside. There was a plate of garlic and eggplant on the table. You can eat it in a bowl.

And after he got up, he packed the bedding by himself. Generally, no one was allowed to enter the bedroom in the back room. Brother Xiao cleaned up the hygiene and housekeeping by himself.

After Brother Xiao had finished eating this meal, whether it was breakfast or lunch, Wu Fulang brought over soy milk, and people in the family went to Lao Sun's house to buy soy milk every day.

Once you buy it, there are several barrels. Everyone drinks some, and there is icing sugar in it, which is so sweet and delicious.

In fact, Tie Qing wanted to buy two cows and drink some milk, but since he couldn't find any, he changed to soy milk.

After drinking the warm soybean milk, Brother Xiao ran to the hut, came back and sat on the kang to warm up, and frowned and looked around.

The house is still the same, clean and tidy, but what about the husband?

He didn't see the livid, so he put on his shoes again, put on his big clothes, and went out to the front yard. The study room was unlocked, but no one would go in.

After Brother Xiao went in, he found that although the room was warm, there was no stove. When the husband was in the study, the stove should be turned on here, otherwise people would feel cold, because he didn't move when he was reading.

It seems that the husband is not here.

As soon as he came out of the study, old Aunt Xiao just came.

"Mother?" Brother Xiao quickly went up to meet him: "Why are you here?"

"Is there any news?" Old Aunt Xiao was a little anxious: "Your father has gone to the house of the village chief Wei, and your eldest brother is your husband-in-law. Is there anything wrong? If we need someone to testify, many of us can go .”

"Where are you going?" Brother Xiao was at a loss: "Where did Mr. Xiang go?"

Old Aunt Xiao was taken aback: "You don't know?"

"I just got up. After eating, I went to the latrine. When I came back, I didn't see my husband, so I went to look for him... Where did he go?" Brother Xiao frowned: "It's going to snow, right?"

Although there is sun in the morning, there are some clouds now. In the northeast, it starts to snow when it gets cold. What time is it now?

Double Ninth Festival is over.

"Why did you get up?" Old Aunt Xiao was almost speechless: "Your brother went to the county with your husband-in-law, and it was Yang Daqing who came back. He said that someone sued your husband-in-law, so your brother went to have a look, by the way. , It’s the old Song’s family, I heard from old Mrs. Yang that Yang Daqing came back from a different shift, so let us know in advance, so we can prepare.”

"Brother Yang is back? I, I don't know?" Brother Xiao was a little at a loss: "I didn't get up so early."

Aunt Xiao's face stretched all of a sudden: "Why are you getting lazy? Fortunately, there is no old man in your husband's house, otherwise, I would have scolded you to death?"

Who wants such a lazy husband?

A child who used to be very diligent at home.

"Auntie, are you here?" Wu Fulang originally brought over a plate of peach cakes, thinking about serving Xiao Fulang with some tea, it would be a long time before dinner.

"Well, your husband, I don't know where the master has gone!" Old Aunt Xiao was a little angry.

"It's my boss who didn't let me tell Fulang." Wu Fulang smiled: "You go into the room and sit down and say that there are peach cakes and scented tea here. My boss said that it's all right, just go back, don't need to wake up Fu Lang, you have to make him worry."

Hearing what Wu Fulang said, Brother Xiao hurriedly pulled his mother into the house.

After sitting on the kang, hot tea and snacks are served, as well as freshly fried mao ni.

"My master should be fine, not to mention that all your sons and daughters have followed, and the Song family has sued us. This is their old Song family's tossing around." Wu Fulang thinks this is the reason: "Besides, when the master left, even the clothes They didn’t change, and they didn’t look serious at all, so I guess it’s really nothing.”

After hearing this, the mother and son were finally relieved.

"As long as they are sure." Old Aunt Xiao said, "Old Village Chief Wei and the others can't just watch if something happens."

It's not easy for the couple to calm down, Wu Fulang can't do it after looking at it like this!

"Otherwise, let's eat at home at night." Xiao Fulang said, "How about we drink beef soup and eat beef pie at night?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't feel at ease if I don't wait here." It doesn't matter what you eat, the main thing is to wait for someone.

Sure enough, in the evening, Tieli went to invite the old boss Xiao, and Aunt Xiao's family, to have dinner at Tie's house. The old couple lived in Tie's house, and Aunt Xiao took her daughter back to the grocery store.

And what about Tieqing and them?

After arriving at the county government office, the county magistrate did not hold a hearing.

Xu Zhou told them: "Today is too late, come back tomorrow morning."

Tie Qing looked indifferent: "Okay, thank you then."

Yang Daqing has already returned to the classroom, but before leaving, Tie Qing asked him to secretly inquire about what's going on?He also gave Yang Daqing ten taels of silver.

Yang Daqing blushed: "What are you doing?"

In Yushu Village, Tie Qing helped their family a lot.

His younger brother, Yang Dasheng, followed Tie Qing to the mountains, cut down several dead trees and returned, even caught wild boars, divided the meat, and sent him all the rabbits and pheasants he killed to taste.

"Fellows from the village, I can't let you do a white job. Even if you want to help, you can inquire about things or something. You can't buy someone a drink or a meal? You take this little money, if it's not enough, I'll pay you back." Add some, if you are rich, I will treat you as a restaurant." Tie Qing said: "The main thing is to ask, what does the county magistrate mean?"

People are about to leave, and this kind of thing happened suddenly, it is estimated that that person is not in a good mood, and he is afraid of being angered.

"Okay, then I'm leaving!" Yang Daqing hurried to the classroom to hand in the errand, and then asked someone to inquire.

Tie Qing sent him away, feeling a little regretful in his heart. In order to get rid of trouble and reduce suspicion, he set Mrs. Song's sudden death in seven days.

In this era, in a feudal society, sudden death is not a good thing.

How much damage has to be done, so that God can't see it and die suddenly.

That's how Xu Boss and Xu Chen's family ended up. They all said that the old Xu's family was damaged.

Mrs. Song is not dead, Tie Qing will never give up.

This old woman has no other skills, but her ability to stir up wind and rain is quite high. Some people in the village are still planning to sell more grain next year.

After sending Yang Daqing away, Tie Qing took Xiao Wei and stayed in the inn. He came here often, and everyone knew each other. The waiter didn't need to order, so he immediately gave two rooms and brought two big pots of boiling water to the room. : "Both of you, wash up first. In the evening, the kitchen made stewed pork vermicelli and big white steamed buns. Is it all right?"

"Anything else to stir-fry, twelve steamed buns." Tie Qing said: "Keep up the fire in the house, and tomorrow we will get up early and have some hot noodle soup and stewed beef."

"Okay!" The waiter quickly withdrew.

Xiao Wei looked at Tie Qing: "Is it familiar?"

"I live in their house when I come to the county. This place is not big but it is clean. Besides this, there is also an inn and an inn. The inn is run by the government. We are not eligible to stay." Tie Qing threw the towel into the In the water basin, some hot water was poured: "Brother, wash first, and you will be able to eat in a while."

"It's not too late for us to come, why don't we ask the case?" Xiao Wei deliberately said this to Tie Qing.

"It's not that I don't ask questions anymore, it's that I don't know how to ask." Tie Qing also looked at the elder brother: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, my brother-in-law has made his own arrangements for this matter."

After washing his face, Xiao Wei said, "If you have an arrangement, go ahead and do it. As for me, I just came to see the excitement."

"I know, brother-in-law is a person who does great things, so he probably isn't interested in this kind of rural affairs." Tie Qing also said that on purpose.

He can also feel that this big uncle is not simple.

The family has such a big family business, I don’t see how happy he is, and he has heard people say that during the time when the eldest uncle comes back, he will walk around the village. First, he is not in a hurry to see people get married and have children; Take inventory of the household.

What made him feel even more unusual was that the elder uncle seemed to be back, but his demeanor was not like that of a soldier, but like an official.

"I'm not interested in being shorthanded by parents in the countryside, but I'm interested in whoever dares to offend my younger brother." Xiao Wei said indifferently: "Tie Qing, don't let me down."

"Brother, don't worry." Tie Qing also had her own arrogance.

This elder brother didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, anyway, Brother Xiao is his husband now.

Xiao Wei just nodded and said nothing else.

But at dinner time, Yang Daqing came in casual clothes.

"It's time for dinner, have you eaten yet?" Tie Qing greeted him.

"No, give me a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Yang Daqing was rude to him: "Brother Xiao, you are here too, so let's listen together."

"Go ahead." Xiao Wei remained motionless.

"The young master of the Song family is back. Mrs. Song and Miss Song are family members after all. He is the one who has the final say in the old Song family. However, the young master Song is a scholar. It has something to do with it. In addition, Mrs. Song sued you for abduction and fraud. However, the county magistrate hesitated about this charge, because it was the old Song family who came to him on his own initiative. Everyone knew about it, and their family even threatened and lured the whole village. , on the condition of the price of the purchased grain, you have to take a concubine. The county magistrate of Xuzhou told the county magistrate that it is best not to make too much noise about such indecent things. In fact, the county magistrate does not want to care about it. Yes, but I heard that the young master of the Song family has a lot of contacts in Fucheng, and he is also related to the army." Yang Daqing said: "The county magistrate is about to be transferred, and this is not just passing the army to go to the border Is it? He wanted to deal with it fairly, but he was afraid of causing trouble. Besides, I heard that you took away all the things Mrs. Song gave to the daughter of the Song family?"

"Yeah, isn't she my concubine? Of course her things are mine." Tie Qing admitted generously: "She was my concubine at the time, of course I have the right to take her things, hers. People are mine, so why aren't things mine?"

Yang Daqing was dumbfounded!

Xiao Wei lowered his head to eat, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He already knew that Tie Qing had transferred the ownership of the field and shop to his younger brother.

"You are really... thick-skinned!" Yang Daqing finally gave Tie Qing a thumbs up: "No wonder Young Master Song has to sue you."

Money and everything are easy to talk about, but land and shops are rare.

In particular, the location of the shop is good, with a shop in front and a house in the back, and a warehouse attached; the land was bought because she was going to marry into Yushu Village, and the land near Yushu Village was unexpectedly bought.

The point is that if Mrs. Song doesn't give the Bai Qi, Tie Qing really has no way to transfer the ownership.

She gave Bai Qi, so why is Tie Qing being polite to her?

At that time, in name, the daughter of the Song family was Tie Qing's lowly concubine. According to the rules, she was not eligible for private property. Mrs. Song loved her daughter very much at that time, so the things she gave her were the right to marry her.

It's not that she doesn't know, the concubine doesn't have the word "marry", it's nothing more than bullying the country people without knowledge, the key is that Tie Qing is not without knowledge, his knowledge is too great.

To put it bluntly, the county magistrate also understood that Tie Qing was the victim in this case.

People are living a good life, but the daughter of the Song family has to get in the way, isn't that a bitch?

But the Song family dared to sue, so they must have the confidence. He was also afraid of getting into trouble, and he didn't want to help the tyrant, so he resorted to the word "drag", and then called people to discuss countermeasures.

"Then did they come to a conclusion after their discussion?" Tie Qing was concerned about this.

If it's unfair, he'll do it easily, he doesn't mind, and let the county magistrate die suddenly on the spot.

"Not yet, from the time the old Song's family filed a complaint in the morning, until we entered the city, and until I left on business, they didn't say anything about Ziwu Maoyou." Yang Daqing said while eating, "But, let me see. , [-]% of it is towards you, Xuzhou has a good relationship with you, and let's take care of this matter!"

"That's enough." Tie Qing hurriedly moved the dish towards him: "It's not enough, let's have another plate."

"Let's have another plate, I ate two sauerkraut baskets early in the morning." Yang Daqing said, "I'm starving to death."

Sauerkraut baskets are sauerkraut stuffing, without a drop of oil, wrapped in corn flour, steamed and eaten, also called "pickled cabbage dumpling".

This thing is just for convenience, and it is a common breakfast for some people.

But it is not very good for fighting hunger, because there is no nutrition, not a drop of oil.

"Eat, just eat." Tie Qing greeted the shop waiter and served them three more plates of stewed pork vermicelli, more pork and less vermicelli.

He also asked to cut two plates of pork meat from Xinyi.

Fat and fat, Tieqing didn't eat anyway, Xiao Wei and Yang Daqing ate a plate alone.

When leaving, Yang Daqing told Tie Qing: "You don't need to get up early tomorrow, at least the county magistrate will be able to go to work after Chen Shi."

Tie Qing immediately turned to the shop waiter and said, "You don't need to bring us breakfast tomorrow, we'll go out to eat."

The breakfast in the inn is the same, but the early stalls outside are diversified, and there are fried flatbreads.
