Stingy Husband Farming

Zhou Hu'er is the son-in-law of Wang Matchmaker of Liushulin Village.

This time, Liushulin Village was naturally included in his foreign service.On the day when the news came, Zhou Hu'er's house exploded.Zhou Hu'er has four brothers, he is the eldest.There are four brothers, and none of them is willing to serve in corvee.

But Zhou Hu'er's popularity is the worst in the family.In the end, Zhou Hu'er's family pushed him out under the wishes of his elder brothers.

There is no way, whoever makes the family home is he who eats and is lazy, what he does not do well, what he eats is not enough, it is a waste of food at home, who is not pushed?Pushing him out can also save food for the family!

Zhou Hu'er couldn't do anything if he didn't want to, he had no money in his hand, and he had nowhere to run if he wanted to, so he would starve to death.Besides, he still has a wife. If he runs away, his wife will have to go back to her natal family. His mother-in-law has been thinking about changing her son-in-law for a long time.

But Zhou Hu'er definitely didn't want to die.That's right, a person like him who doesn't work his limbs will die on the embankment!

Just when Zhou Hu'er was very worried, he heard that five taels of silver could be used to redeem corvee.On the same day, I cried at home and asked for money to redeem me, but I refused to go.

At the request of his old father, his three elder brothers didn't say no to it. One of them gritted his teeth and gave a tael of silver, and his father took out another tael, and asked Zhou Hu'er to pay another tael. The quota for redemption of corvee is shared equally, no one will take advantage, and no one will suffer.

If Zhou Hu'er refuses to pay the one or two taels of silver, he can accept the other four taels and go to the corvee.

Even so, Zhou Hu'er couldn't come up with this tael of silver at all.He is usually a lazy person, and if he has a little money, he uses it to start a small stove, and he can't save much money at all.

But he doesn't even want to risk his life!Zhou Hu'er had no choice but to borrow money from his mother-in-law Wang Matchmaker's house.

Of course, Matchmaker Wang refused to borrow it, as she herself had two sons who wanted to be redeemed for corvee service.Besides, as I said earlier, Matchmaker Wang was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law, and was thinking about changing her son-in-law all day long.

When they talked about their marriage back then, Matchmaker Wang felt that Zhou Hu'er's family was in good condition, and he was the youngest in the family. She was loved by her mother and could get help from several brothers. It would be easier for her daughter to marry him.Who would have thought that Zhou Huer's mother broke her leg digging wild vegetables in the mountains just a year after her daughter passed away, and died within two months.The old man was the only one left, his heart was not so biased, and he didn't like to care about the "little things" between their brothers.

The brothers were finally relieved of having been taken advantage of by Zhou Hu'er for more than ten years, and they began to complain to Zhou Hu'er that their noses are not noses, and their eyes are not eyes.Even Wang Matchmaker's daughter lived a hard life and suffered a lot.Matchmaker Wang's daughter would often go home and complain to her mother, complaining that her mother had found such a family for her.

Matchmaker Wang felt sorry for her daughter, so she could only help her from time to time, but for this son-in-law, she was so ruined that her intestines were green, and she was annoyed when she saw it.

At that time, I only wanted to take advantage of my brother and live a better life.Why didn't he realize that Zhou Hu'er himself was so unable to support himself?

Now that Zhou Hu'er came to borrow money, Matchmaker Wang didn't have a good face at all. She even thought that it would be best for Zhou Hu'er to die outside this time. Her daughter was young and beautiful, and she hadn't given birth yet. She immediately told her daughter about the good family. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Zhou Hu'er is thick-skinned enough. His mother-in-law pretended not to hear her sneering at him, and her mother-in-law treated him as if he didn't exist, yet he still lingered on.Anyway, he is not willing to serve corvée to die, and he will not give up until he gets the money!

Matchmaker Wang was so angry that she just pretended that there was no such person in the family, and if she saw it, she didn't see it, what should she do.A relative came to visit today, and the two talked about what happened to Wang Matchmaker's cousin.Zhou Hu'er was poking in the middle of the room, making Wang Matchmaker's lungs ache from anger.

Wang Matchmaker's natal nephew is Wang Ermazi from Shen Jiatuner.He died suddenly at a young age, before he was born.Matchmaker Wang, the cousin, sighed a lot.But it was just a sigh, and her cousin didn't show up at all about Wang Ermazi's funeral.

"The second boy came to see me before, saying that he wanted to be the son-in-law of Shen Xiucai's family in their village. This Shen Xiucai's family lived in a big tile house with green bricks. When Shen Xiucai died, I heard that the gambling house was still there. I lost a lot of money. It's a pity, if this happens, the life of the second boy will be different, and he won't die at a young age. His elder brother is not a joke, even the funeral He didn't even do it, and he was wrapped up in a broken table. The house is cheaper than his brother."

The relative was close to Wang Ermazi's elder brother's house, so he didn't have a good impression of Wang Ermazi. Hearing what Wang Matchmaker said, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "By the way, how much is his dilapidated house worth? Who dares to live after someone died so violently. Besides, it’s not that he wants to be the husband-in-law of others, they want him. I heard that the elder brother of Shen Xiucai’s family finally found him and grew up very handsome. He said, he can still make money. After all, he is the brother of a scholar's family. He has high vision. Can he fall in love with him? If the second boy is not greedy for his way of making money, he would not go to the mountain to pick poisonous mushrooms and eat them."

Matchmaker Wang's words were refuted, and I felt a little uncomfortable: "Huh, that handsome man who can make money can live a good life with a brother in the village? You don't know yet, that man is gone! There are two orphans and widows left. They don’t even have a man in charge of the family, and they have to pay others the money to redeem the corvee. It is because of his family that the five taels of silver can be redeemed from the corvee. The man left, Not coming back!"

The relatives didn't know about this, and they were surprised when they heard the words: "Gone? When did you leave? Didn't you say that the young couple had a good relationship? We went up the mountain and worked in the fields together all day long. Where did you go?"

"What do you know? It's been a while!" Matchmaker Wang lowered her voice with a well-informed look: "I've seen this kind of person a lot. Come to the countryside to hire a girl and brother. In the past few days, I gave some money and disappeared. There are housewives in every family, and they are strictly controlled, and they just come out to play something new! That identity is probably fake!"

Her matchmaker Wang has done several such "businesses" under her own hands. Thinking of this, she giggled and said with a smile: "But speaking of it, those old masters and young masters are very generous, and they will give a fortune when they leave. Money. It’s also about people’s benevolence, not to let the woman lose her body in vain. Tsk, I don’t know how much this little brother Shen got, he and his mother are the only two in his family, and the expenses are not too big, so life is good.”

Zhou Hu'er was listening, and suddenly frowned, "Mother, I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, so I'm leaving first."

Matchmaker Wang was talking vigorously, but was suddenly interrupted, and said displeasedly: "You should have left long ago, you shouldn't have come."

Zhou Hu'er didn't answer, and hurried out of the house.

The relative looked at Zhou Hu'er's back and smiled: "Finally gone, your son-in-law is thick-skinned enough. You have been a matchmaker for so many years, and you have been hunting geese all day long, and sometimes you were pecked by geese."

Matchmaker Wang was also unhappy: "I'm getting old, my eyes are not as bright as before. I have pity on my girl, and if I follow him, it's better to live with a big master or a young master, and I can give some money. Following him is not as good as raising a dog, I am! "

However, Matchmaker Wang was also a little puzzled: "I thought he would be able to rely on me for a day if I didn't borrow money. Why did he leave all of a sudden?" @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

Zhou Hu'er already had a new plan in mind.

Orphans and widows living alone, rich family background... Zhou Hu'er can understand why Wang Ermazi wants to marry into Shen Mu's family.

It's a pity that he is already married, so it's impossible to marry him.But borrow two money to spend... Hehe...

Isn't my urgent need solved?

Zhou Hu'er rubbed his palms, and sneaked to Shenjiatun that night.The blue brick and tile house in the village is only Shen Mu's family, and it is easy to find.Zhou Hu'er took a little effort to climb over the wall, and went to the main room under the moonlight.

Ah Huang was tucking his tail in his den, feeling a bit puzzled when he heard the soft footsteps outside.In his short life as a dog, it was the first time he met someone walking lightly, and he forgot about the tail stuffing for a moment, and the whole dog couldn't help but also lighten his steps, slipped out of the house, and followed him secretly. Behind Zhou Hu'er, he wanted to see what this human being was going to do.

Zhou Hu'er stared nervously at Shen Mu's room in front of her, but she didn't notice Ah Huang behind her.

Ah Huang tilted his head and looked at Zhou Hu'er's back. What is this guy doing in his yard in the middle of the night?But it's interesting to watch him move...

When he got close to Shen Mu's room, Zhou Hu'er simply lay down on the ground and sneaked into Shen Mu's room.

Ah Huang followed suit, lowered his body, and crawled forward behind him.One person and one dog were all silent, without making a sound.Shen Mu slept soundly, and didn't even realize that someone had entered his room.

Shen Mu's room is not big, with a bed, a table, a cabinet, and two wooden boxes.Zhou Hu'er went in and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets lightly. Ah Huang kept a prostrate posture lying at the door, looking at him curiously.

Although Zhou Hu'er has worked hard to steal it, who is Shen Mu?That is the person who values ​​silver more than anything else, can it be easily touched by others?

Zhou Hu'er searched for a long time, but couldn't find any money in the house, so he could only focus on the sleeping Shen Mu.Some people also like to hide money under the pillow, under the mattress, or sewn into the pillow, which is safer.

Zhou Hu'er has been sneaking for so many years, and he has a little understanding of other people's habit of hiding things.Holding his breath, he crawled to the side of Shen Mu's bed, and stretched out his hand to feel under the pillow.

At this moment, Ah Huang, who had been eating melons quietly all this time, suddenly moved!

Ah Huang didn't know what Zhou Hu'er was here for.In its short life as a dog, it has never encountered a thief.Its dog mother hasn't had time to teach it how to catch thieves, and its human parents haven't given it a second education.

As a pet dog, Ah Huang's pedigree makes it friendly to all humans.So it has been "playing games" with Zhou Hu'er.

But at this time Zhou Hu'er stretched out his hand, in Ah Huang's eyes, he thought Zhou Hu'er was going to hit Shen Mu.

Father told it before going out to protect Eminem!Can't let people hit Eminem!Ah Huang, who was staring at Zhou Hu'er curiously, was suddenly excited, and rushed out like a small cannonball, biting Zhou Hu'er's wrist.

"Ah!!" Zhou Hu'er was touching the pillow nervously, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his hand, and he couldn't help crying out in pain. He flicked his hand, but he didn't shake it off. The big dog, hanging on his wrist, stared at him and purred.

super fierce.Ah Huang gritted his teeth.

Zhou Hu'er was so angry that he grabbed Ah Huang's neck.

Ah Huang is just a half-grown dog less than half a year old. Although he was caught by surprise, his strength is not worth mentioning when facing the adult man Zhou Hu'er, so he was strangled by the neck like this .

The fierce whining quickly turned into a whine.

Everything is fast.

But even faster, when Zhou Hu'er was bitten by Ah Huang and screamed, Shen Mu was woken up.

At first Shen Mu didn't understand what happened, the room was too dark, Shen Mu was stunned for a while, then Ah Huang's whining sound came from his ears.

He quickly understood that this was a burglar in his house!

Shen Mu sat up from the bed in a jerk, and slashed the back of Zhou Hu'er's neck with a knife.

Zhou Hu'er let out another scream and fell limp to the ground.

Shen Mu didn't care about other things, and hurriedly rescued A Huang from Zhou Hu'er's grasp. The puppy was terribly wronged, and being choked was very uncomfortable, sobbing softly on Shen Mu's shoulder.

Mrs. Liu next door also heard the movement, lit the oil lamp and came over. "What's wrong? What happened?"

The doors of the two rooms were not closed. In order to make it easier for Ah Huang to run around at night, they just concealed it and left a gap in the door for Ah Huang.Before Liu entered the room, she saw Zhou Hu'er lying on the ground from a distance.

"My God! What's going on?!" Liu clutched her chest, frightened.

"It's a thief, luckily Ah Huang bit him." Shen Mu stroked Ah Huang: "Ah Huang is really amazing!"

Ah Huang paused for a moment.

It turns out that this is a thief, should he be bitten... Ah Huang remembered it.

Mrs. Liu also boasted: "Ah Huang is really amazing!" Ah Huang is too small, and also a pet dog, they didn't expect him to look after the house.

A Huang shoved his head into Shen Mu's creaking hole in embarrassment.Woohoo, it's not powerful at all, it didn't know it was a thief before, so it let him into Eminem's room... Ah Huang will definitely bite him to death next time, Ah Huang is super fierce!

"Mother, when you came here just now, you didn't meet anyone else, did you?" Shen Mu was a little worried that there were accomplices.Although he has great strength and fights more fiercely, he is also one-on-one.If several hit one, he would not be able to bear it.

"I didn't see it." Mrs. Liu shook the oil lamp out of the window, but she didn't see anyone.After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, so he locked the door, and then took the lamp to shine on Zhou Hu'er on the ground: "What should I do with this person?"

Shen Mu looked at Zhou Hu'er who was lying on the ground, turned him over, looked at his face by the light, but didn't recognize him: "Look at Yansheng, he's not from our village, I'll find a rope and give it to him Tie it up, and hand it over to Uncle Qingshan to report to the officer at dawn."

"Be careful!" Liu looked worriedly at Shen Mu leaving the room.Fortunately, Zhou Hu'er had no accomplices, so Shen Mu quickly returned with the rope.

Zhou Hu'er woke up during the tying process, and just about to struggle, Shen Mu went down with the knife again.

Liu looked at his son with a knife in his hand in shock, and Zhou Hu'er fainted again, thinking, this brother is not like a brother, so it's not a bad thing.

If Shen Mu is really like the other little brothers, he is quiet and quiet, and the mother and son will probably have to confess to being here tonight.

Alas, why is this world so chaotic!

After Zhou Hu'er was tied up, the mother and son had no intention of going to sleep, and sat withered in the middle of the night, finally waiting until dawn, Shen Mu went to find Shen Qingshan.

Shen Qingshan was also taken aback, there had been no robbers in their village for quite a while.Cough, petty theft in my own village is not counted.

This is an outsider, and they have all gone into the house!If this is not severely punished, other villages will think that the village chief of their Shenjiatun is a softie, and the people of Shenjiatun can bully them at will!

Shen Qingshan followed Shen Mu to the house and took a look at Zhou Hu'er who was tied up, and immediately drove the bullock cart to the city to report to the officials.By the time Zhou Yuan, the village head of Liushulin, got the letter, Shen Qingshan had already arrived at the county seat.

The village head of Liushulin hated him to death, why did this person leave so fast? !

But he hates Zhou Hu'er even more!There is such a sneaky person in their village, their reputation will be exhausted!Who wants to marry into their willow forest in the future?The marriages of so many young men in the village will be affected, and it is not easy for girls to marry outsiders!

Zhou Yuan first ran to Zhou Hu'er's house, scolded the whole family, and then brought Zhou Hu'er's eldest brother, who was in charge of his family's affairs, to Shenjiatun, hoping to make Shen Mu give up reporting to the official.

Of course, Shen Mu disagreed. This week, Hu'er had already entered his house. If he let it go so lightly, wouldn't all the bums and Lao Lai in these ten miles and eight villages have to follow suit, thinking that his family is easy to bully? !

What time is it now? !Collect corvee!Who is not short of money?Now there is a fat sheep that is easy to bully, do you come to cut a knife and share a piece of meat? !

Before Shen Qingshan came back from the county, Shen Mu simply locked the door of the house, hid inside and could not go out, turned around and kicked Zhou Hu'er.

Zhou Hu'er was gagged with a rag, and he couldn't even scream.

Zhou Hu'er regretted his death. He thought orphans and widows were easy to bully, and even if they were found out, they couldn't beat him as a big man. He didn't expect this little brother to be so cruel!

And that dog, even though it was small, bit him hard. His clothes were stained with a lot of blood, all from Ah Huang's bite.

Sitting by the bed, Shen Mu rubbed Ah Huang's neck, caught a glimpse of Zhou Hu'er's unwilling eyes, and couldn't help cursing: "How dare you pinch our dog's neck! Our dog is precious, worth 20 taels of silver! If there is one Anyway, if you sell it, you won’t be able to afford it!”

Mrs. Liu stood aside: "..."

I don't know whether Shen Mu loves the dog or the money...

Shen Qingshan came back from the county with two yamen servants, and the village head of Liushulin stopped him as soon as he entered the village.Together with Zhou Hu'er's eldest brother, he almost knelt down to them.

Zhou Yuan did it for the reputation of their entire village, but Zhou Hu'er's eldest brother did it because if Zhou Hu'er went to jail, wouldn't their family have to produce a new young man? !At least the one tael of silver that Zhou Hu'er was missing had to be made up.How can it be worthless!

The brothers discussed it at home. At worst, they would bribe the poor master and officials with the four taels of silver, and send Zhou Hu'er to serve in corvee directly!

Only when Shen Qingshan was stopped by Zhou Yuan did he realize that the thief belonged to Liu Shulin.He preempted Zhou Yuan for a few words first, but Zhou Yuan lowered his head and acknowledged it, and Shen Qingshan couldn't say anything else.

They are all village chiefs, and Shen Qingshan also knows Zhou Yuan's difficulties.This is a piece of mouse droppings, spoiling a pot of porridge!The reputations of their village are all linked together. Zhou Hu'er went to prison, and the whole Liushulin Village couldn't hold their heads up.

But the sufferer is not him, no matter how sympathetic he is to Zhou Yuan, he can't speak for Shen Mu.

After Shen Qingshan came back, Shen Mu opened the door of the house and welcomed the officials and gentlemen to come in.The two officials took money from Brother Zhou Hu'er, and in words they persuaded Shen Mu to let it go.They will send Zhou Hu'er to repair the dam, and he will never come back.

Zhou Hu'er lying on the ground with his hands and feet bound and his mouth gagged: "...???"

Shen Mu watched the battle and knew that he couldn't do business.When Zhou Hu'er's eldest brother gave him two taels of silver as compensation, Shen Mu agreed "to avoid the trouble".

Zhou Hu'er's eldest brother was relieved.He had heard that this family was rich, otherwise Zhou Hu'er would not have been able to follow him.I'm afraid that people will look down on the two taels of silver or the lion will open his mouth, but it's okay.

A large group of people came with a whoosh, and left with a whoosh.Shen Qingshan was the only one left: "Xiaomu, brother and sister, why don't you come and live with us?"

Shen Mu was still holding the silver in his hands, but he didn't realize it for a while: "Huh?"

Shen Qingshan frowned: "Isn't it that Xiao Song is not at home? Recently, the village has been in chaos due to the conscripts. If you come to live in our house, there is also a care. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I will have no face to see Wen brother."

This is a good idea, but what happened last time, Shen Mu felt a little uncomfortable seeing the old village chief now.Living in Shen Qingshan's house, it is inevitable that he will have to meet the old village head.

Mrs. Liu also had a lump in her heart, so the mother and son only talked about it and sent Shen Qingshan away.

"Actually, what you Uncle Qingshan said is not bad." Mrs. Liu thought for a while, "Our family is now a single household in the village, without a foundation or pillar. No matter how much money we have, we can't keep it. Ah, the people in the village are alright, because of your father, there is a fear. But you have seen people outside the village." Liu sighed and patted Ah Huang's head.Ah Huang raised his head and licked her palm.

"That's what I said." Shen Mu thought more, "It's okay now, go to Uncle Qingshan's house, Uncle Qingshan can protect us. But Uncle Qingshan will leave in two days, and he will go to serve in corvee. Who else can we expect to protect us? At that time, half of the young and strong in the village will be gone, and the rest will be women, children, old and young, and the old village head will have to take care of the whole village." Shen Mu muttered: "Live at his house Go, maybe we will have to take care of the whole village together at that time. I know the temper of the old village chief last time. It’s fine if you take care of others. If you let us take care of my grandpa and grandma again, I will swallow it Don't hold your breath."

Liu thought about it too: "Then what should I do. I don't dare to sleep peacefully in the future. I'm afraid the days to come will become more and more chaotic."

Shen Mu lowered his head to look at the two taels of silver he just got from Zhou Hu'er's elder brother.

"Mom, otherwise, let's move to the county!"

"what???"
