There is a handsome man in the rough family

Throughout the night, the lights of torches flickered in the village from time to time, and everyone in the village was helping to find the eldest brother of the Zheng family.

In the end, it was the kid from the Wang family who couldn't help but say it. The elder brother of the Zheng family handed him a message, and made an appointment to elope together at the old place on the mountain tonight.

But the boy from the Wang family didn't have any money in his hand, and if the Zheng family made such a fuss again, he didn't dare to go to the appointment.

After Zheng Chongdong heard the news, he was furious, and immediately beat up the kid from the Zheng family again.

The men of the Wang family had another fight with him, and now the two families have forged a big feud.

Zheng Chongdong felt that he had lost face, and let the word out that his eldest brother was dead or not, so he didn't care about it and went home directly.

The people in the village also looked at each other in dismay, discussing and talking about everything.

After all, in these dynasties, in this kind of time, if someone's elder brother wants to elope, it is a first-sight event that will greatly affect his reputation.

Only Zheng Momo stayed up all night, looking outside.

Mrs. Li and Mr. Tang also felt a little sympathetic. They led their family members to help them search and search nearby, but they couldn't find them. It was already dark and the mountain was not safe.

Tang Laoer and Zhao Xiangbei asked the second elder to go back to take care of the house.

And the two of them held torches together, and went up the mountain to search together with the strong laborers in the village.

Later, Tang Xiaofu coaxed his fat son to sleep.

The next day, I got bad news.

The eldest brother of the Zheng family hanged himself under a short tree in the mountain.

By the time Zhao Xiangbei and the others went up the mountain to find someone, they were already stiff and could not be rescued.

The Zheng family fainted when they cried.

And the lame old bachelor in the neighboring village heard that Fulang was about to enter the house, so he just disappeared, and suddenly he didn't want to.

He came to beg for food for the bride price, and the two families were in a turmoil.

It's really chilling that no one cares about the affairs of the eldest brother of the Zheng family. The village chief came forward and each family contributed a few copper coins to buy a thin coffin to bury him.

Tang Xiaofu sat in the east room with his fat son in his arms, looking at the soles of Li's shoes.

When he heard the news, he couldn't help sighing.

"Brother Zheng's family is such a nice guy. I saw him go up the mountain to help cut pigweed a few days ago."

Li's hand that was piercing the needle paused, and put down the shoe in his hand.

"There are many such things in the village every year. There was a brother Yun in the same village as me. He had a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance. Countless men in the village liked him. But the family dislikes the poor and loves the rich. He will be a small brother. Married to a landlord in his 60s. The landlord was tyrannical by nature and killed many husbands, and my friend died within two years after marrying. Sigh, it’s all wrong.”

Tang Xiaofu pulled the cloth towel and wiped the saliva from his fat son's mouth.

"Just now I saw that kid from the Wang family, crying on the grave. It was miserable. People picked it up twice, but he was gone. Who is he crying like this for?"

Mrs. Li curled her lips when she heard the words, picked up the soles of her shoes again, and continued to say coolly with the soles: "I have been infatuated brothers since ancient times. After the fickle Han Dynasty, some of our little brothers grow up, so we should take care of them." Please teach him not to die for a man. It’s hard to find three-legged toads in this world, but good men with two legs can be found everywhere.”

Tang Xiaofu smiled, and felt that his mother was very cute, so he moved to his side to act like a baby.

All of a sudden, this trivial matter between the Zheng family and the Wang family became the gossip of the people in the province, and the two families were pointed out when they went out.

Since the eldest brother of the Zheng family left, the Zheng family has become more and more taciturn, and people have become more stooped.

Tang Xiaofu can often see him working on the ground, carrying a hoe against the sun.

Tang Xiaofu originally thought that this matter would be over.

But I didn't expect Zheng Chongdong to be such a greedy person.

Seeing that it would not work to betroth his elder brother to the old bachelor, he lost a lot of food.

He actually sold the eldest brother of the Zheng family for a ghost marriage, and he didn't make it big, but made it small.

This time he didn't ask for food, but asked for money directly.

After receiving ten taels of silver, he planned to take people up the mountain to dig a grave the next day despite the fact that the elder brother of the Zheng family hadn't arrived for a hundred days.

The person in his family who bought Brother Zheng's family recruited them to equip them with good wine and good food at home, and the next day they prepared to have people take the second brother's body away.

Tang Xiaofu was walking around the house with his fat son in his arms. From a distance, he saw Zheng Zhongdong walking home with a rosy face carrying wine and pig's head meat.

Zheng Chongdong's face was full of complacency, and he could talk to everyone he met for ten taels of silver.

It's not bad to raise a brother who loses money and earn some money after death.

Seeing his complacent look, Tang Xiaofu frowned slightly.

But when the bowl soaked his feet and Tang Xiaofu coaxed his fat son to sleep, he saw Zhao Xiangbei leaving with a heavy expression on his face, and when he came back, he knew something was wrong.

Seeing that his fat son fell asleep immediately, Tang Xiaofu didn't make much noise.

He took a cloth rabbit that he sewed by himself before, stuffed it beside the fat son's crib, put him to sleep, and dragged Zhao Xiangbei outside the house.

"What's the matter? You went out in a hurry just now, and now you come back with a bad face."

Now the weather is approaching, it is not too cold in May, the breeze is gentle, and it is a bit cool.

Zhao Xiangbei pulled Tang Xiaofu to sit on the stone bench in the yard, glanced at Tang Xiaofu's expression, and said with some concerns: "I told you, don't be afraid."

Tang Xiaofu rolled his eyes, and patted Zhao Xiangbei's arm casually.

"I'm afraid of such a big deal, don't lose my appetite, just say it quickly."

Zhao Xiangbei took Tang Xiaofu's hand in his big palm, and his expression was a little moved.

"Zheng Chongdong and the family who came to get married are gone."

Tang Xiaofu's heart skipped a beat, and his hand trembled and touched the teacup in hand.

"How could it be? In the evening, I saw him buying wine and meat with a smug expression on his face."

Zhao Xiangbei straightened the teacup for Tang Xiaofu, refilled a cup of warm tea, and said slowly, "It's rat poison, what did Zheng put it in, it looks like it was put in the pot of stewed pork head and cabbage at night. Everyone After eating it all, the body is stiff."

Tang Xiaofu's eyes widened and he opened his mouth. He couldn't find his voice for a long time.

"Then what about Zheng, how is Zheng?"

Zhao Xiangbei sighed, his eyes were a little sad.

"When we went, we found that Zheng Momo had collapsed in the kitchen, and he also ate the pot of stew that had been poisoned."

Tang Xiaofu's eyes were a little sour. Although the two families had no friendship, he had rarely seen Zheng.

But such a thing happened to him, he just felt sad in his heart, sad for this era.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

Zhao Xiangbei didn't know how to answer Tang Xiaofu's question.

I can only hold him in my arms and give him a sense of security with my firm arms.

"Xiaofu, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect our children, and protect this family so that no one can hurt you."

This rough guy actually doesn't know what Tang Xiaofu is frightened about.

Since the last time he fell into the water, he knew that his little husband had some ideas that were incompatible with others, and was very kind, and sometimes very naive.

But he fell in love with your innocence and kindness, which made him feel as warm as sunshine, and washed away all the haze in his heart.

Tang Xiaofu leaned against Zhao Xiangbei's arms, speechless for a moment.

Zheng Jiaqiong jingled, and the money to buy the coffin in the end was exactly the ten taels of silver.

It also has to be said that causal events are elusive.

The matter of Zheng's family was publicized in the village for a while, and everyone had their own lives.

These days, Tang Xiaofu is busy with the fish pond in the mountain.

The shops in the county are already open.

Every day, Tang Xiaofu would ask Brother Lu to bring his younger brother to the shop in the county town with fresh fish.

In order to keep the fish fresh, Tang Xiaofu asked Zhao Xiangbei to make several large wooden barrels and put mountain spring water in them.

Since there was no domestic equipment in ancient times, Tang Xiaofu secretly put a little spiritual spring water in it. The fish were still alive and fresh after a day or two in the bucket.

If there is no need to deal with the live fish in Tang Xiaofu's shop, the store will help to deal with it for nine cents per catty.

At the beginning, when the people in the county saw such a big shop, they only sold live fish, and they all stopped, fearing that the fish would be expensive, and they would lose money.

So Tang Xiaofu came up with a trick and asked Brother Yang to find a chef with good cooking skills. He set up a pot and stove in front of the store for two days, cooked fish on the spot, and invited others to taste it.

For a while, the people nearby were fed the delicious taste of the fish and conquered it.

After asking about the price carefully, they found that the ones in the vegetable market were the same, so they all felt relieved.

Those who are willing to spend money, or those who entertain guests at home, will buy a few and take them home.

At the beginning, there were not so many customers, and [-] or [-] live fish could be sold in a day.

But after a few days, repeat customers gradually increased.

And those who had eaten the live fish of the Tang family were surprised to find that their appetite had improved. Even those who were usually weak and weak, after eating fish soup for a few days, their whole face turned red, so More and more people went to buy Tang's live fish.

Brother Yang is also smart and shrewd. Not only does he keep the shop in order, but he even takes advantage of the time when the shop is not open early in the morning and at night, carrying live fish to the rich families in the county town to inquire about the news, and he is really accepted by him. Got a lot of business.

Today, there are nearly a hundred fire rains sold in the shop every day.

Every morning, as many as forty or fifty fish are sent to rich families in the city according to the order.

If it is a festival, or if any household celebrates birthdays, it needs even more.

Tang Xiaofu grinned happily as he looked at the daily accounts.

He was not a stingy person at all, Brother Yang's younger brothers helped deliver fish to those mansions in the county in the morning, and Tang Xiaofu also paid them wages.

Although the price of this live fish is not expensive, Tang Xiaofu's business is costless. Calculated in one month, the profit from selling fish can reach as much as [-] to [-] taels.

And the delicious taste and nourishing effect of the Tang family's live fish also attracted an extraordinary person.
