Beloved Plantation King

After a simple lunch, in the afternoon, Yin Peinan went to the house of the two uncles who had dinner together last night to buy millet.There is only a little rice left at home, and I have to buy it. It happened that this matter was mentioned during dinner last night. The two uncles still had some rice left at home, and they said that they could sell them at the market price.

Each family bought a basket, and Yin Peinan picked them directly to the small room next to the ancestral hall in the village. There was a big stone mill for the village inside. Shuizhu and Ning Geer were already waiting there, and the wooden bucket, dustpan and broom were all ready. He also borrowed a donkey to pull it.

They are going to grind all the millet in the afternoon to celebrate the new year.

Yin Peinan was in charge of putting the millet on the mill, Ning Geer led the donkey and walked ahead, and Shuizhu used a dustpan to dust off the chaff and rice bran.

The three of them worked together with a division of labor, and the speed was fairly fast.

In the afternoon, A Niang came back and brought back news that when I passed by Zuo Tugen's house just now, I heard their house was arguing, and the quarrel was quite fierce.

"Arguing?" Yin Peinan frowned and asked, "Why are you arguing?"

"I didn't listen carefully, but it was very loud, noisy and noisy, and surrounded by many people." Zhao Xiu'e put down the basket, rolled up her sleeves and got ready to work.

Yin Peinan reckoned that it might have something to do with what happened in the morning, fearing that the captain and the others would suffer, he told A Niang and ran towards Zuo Tugen's house.

"Hey, why are you going, Nan?" Zhao Xiu'e asked loudly looking at his back.

"I'll be back when I go."

Yin Peinan ran fast, and before reaching Zuo Tugen's house, he heard scolding from a distance.When he arrived, there was already a circle of villagers outside the yard.

But it was beyond Yin Peinan's expectation, he originally thought it was Zuo Tugen's family and the Captain's family who were arguing, who would have guessed otherwise.Looking at the situation in the house, it was clear that Zuo Tugen and his wife were arguing, while his captain's family was watching at the door, and the captain was drinking a cup of tea leisurely.

Yin Peinan: ...

In the main room of Zuo Tugen's house, Zuo Tugen's wife Li Guihua sat on the ground and pointed at Zuo Tugen and scolded him.

"...You old bastard, I've been married to you for decades, what do you want me to say?! I don't have the ability to make money and think I'm stingy?! If you have gold and silver, I will spend it every day Live it?! You are shameless, how much money you make a year, and you dare to ask me for money, your family is burning too much money..."

As she said that, Li Guihua wanted to pick up something next to her and hit Zuo Tugen, but unfortunately she didn't have anything at hand, so she simply took off her shoes and threw them over.

Zuo Tugen is henpecked, he probably didn't dare to answer back after being scolded severely, just shrank aside, and didn't dare to reach out to block the shoes when they were thrown over him.

The village head stood helplessly by the side, shouting in vain: "Stop arguing." He also called Zuo Tugen's son and wife to try to persuade him to fight, but no one listened to him.

Yin Peinan asked the people next to him, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

The woman replied: "It seems that Zuo Tugen asked his mother-in-law for money, but his mother-in-law refused to give it, so there was a quarrel."

Yin Peinan: "Oh, that's it." That's still for the morning.

Yin Peinan thought for a while, squeezed in, rubbed against the captain, knelt down, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Captain, which song is this?"

Seeing that it was Yin Peinan, Zuo An turned his head slightly to his side, and replied in a low voice, "You can do it for me."

"Ah?" Yin Peinan glanced at him, then at Li Guihua who was on the ground, and was speechless.

He whispered to Zuo An: "Captain, don't they want to pay for the house?"

Zuo An glanced at him, "Did you hear that?"

Yin Peinan nodded and looked at Zuo An innocently, "I'm sorry, I heard it by accident."

Zuo An shook his head and said calmly, "Forget it."

Yin Peinan looked at the couple, and then at the two sons who were not trying to make peace, and said to Zuo An: "Captain, wait for me for a while."

After saying that, Yin Peinan got up and squeezed out to run.

Zuo An watched him run away, not knowing what he was going to do.

Yin Peinan ran fast again

Go back to the stone mill.Zhao Xiu'e and the others looked at him and asked him, "What's wrong? What are they arguing about?"

Yin Peinan didn't answer, and asked Zhao Xiu'e: "Auntie, can we take three people to live for a while? They are facing some difficulties now, they can stay for about ten days and half a month, at most a month."

Zhao Xiu'e stopped what she was doing, walked over, and asked, "Who is taking in? Who is in trouble?"

Shui Zhu and Ning Ge'er also looked at him.

Yin Peinan replied: "It's Zuo An, his little daddy, and his younger sister."

So Yin Peinan said that Zuo An and the others had no house to live in, and Zuo Tugen's family had received favors before, but now they refused to help them build a house, and they had to look at the face of Zuo Tugen's family to live there, which was very pitiful. Very poor.

After Zhao Xiu'e heard this, she also frowned, and said: "The Zuo Tugen couple are too outrageous. He went to Beijing several times, and every time he came back, he brought back a lot of things, as well as money. The whole village knows about it. Now that my nephew’s family is in trouble, it’s too insignificant to forget about their kindness.”

Yin Peinan nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, Zuo'an and his family are obviously very kind to others. Now, they don't even have a place to live when they come back. It's so pitiful. Mother, we can take them in for a while Is it? Just wait until their house is built."

Zhao Xiu'e is kind-hearted and has suffered a lot. She knows the feeling of being helpless in adversity. Moreover, their family is doing well now, and being able to help others is a big deal. They also received help from many people back then.

Although she was a little surprised why her son suddenly wanted to help Zuo An and the others, she still nodded and said, "Yes, our family is small, will they be wronged? And, how will we arrange it?"

Yin Peinan said: "It's okay, there are no mosquitoes in winter now, the three of them are brothers and girls, they are just in the house, and Brother Ning and I can make a bed in the main room." He turned to ask Ning Brother: "Brother, can you?"

Ning Geer nodded, "Yes."

Yin Peinan asked for Shuizhu's opinion again, "Amei, is it okay?"

Shuizhu also nodded, and said: "You can let Yingying sleep with us, she is a little girl, it's not easy to squeeze with my brother."

Yin Peinan looked at A Niang again.

A Niang smiled and said, "That's no problem."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt. Then I'll go." Seeing that everyone agreed, Yin Peinan ran away like a gust of wind.

When he went to Zuo Tugen's house again, Li Guihua was still pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Yin Peinan walked up to Zuo An's side and whispered, "Captain, you go live at my house. I've already made an agreement with my mother, and everyone in the family agrees."

Zuo An raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this silly boy ran home to talk about it. He felt warm and said softly: "It's okay, I can take care of it. We have a lot of people, so it's not easy to bother you."

Yin Peinan frowned and said, "No trouble. Just go, okay? I don't want to see you here being bullied by them."

Zuo An looked at him, soft ripples appeared in his heart, he snorted and said, "Who can annoy me? Look at me, I'll treat them, I can't make it easy for them."

Yin Peinan asked: "What are you going to do? Fight? I'll help you."

"I'm a civilized person." Zuo An shook his head, motioning him to watch.

At this moment, Li Guihua turned towards the door and scolded: "Don't stand and talk without pain in your back! You don't need money for eating, drinking, or seeing a doctor?! It's not your money, don't you feel bad about it..."

Wen Yi couldn't hold back after hearing this, and was about to refute and scold a few words, but Zuo An was one step ahead of him, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap", there was no water in it, only two pitiful pieces of tea leaves, the cup fell It became several pieces.

Li Guihua's voice stopped abruptly, and everyone around fell silent.

"I'm sorry, my hand slipped." Zuo An brushed off the non-existent water stains on his body, with a cold attitude without embarrassment at all.

Yin Peinan: ...Really, very civilized.

Yin Peinan felt itchy when he saw the captain's expression.

.

He raised the corners of his mouth, stood up, crossed his arms and stared at Li Guihua, and stood behind the captain, supporting the captain.

Li Guihua was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "What are you doing? Do you know how much that teacup costs? You eat and drink mine for nothing..."

"Of course I know how much this teacup costs." Zuo An interrupted her, looked at her coldly, and said, "This is what my little dad bought. Is Auntie going to settle the score with me?"

Li Guihua opened her mouth and was speechless.

"Then let's figure it out." Zuo An didn't let her go, and said, "My cousin went to Beijing the year before last and stayed at my house for a month and a half. He saw that my tea set was pretty good, and he was full of praise. On the way back, my dad called me little daddy." Went to buy a set that was exactly the same, and spent a total of five taels of silver."

Zuo An pointed to the two pieces of tea leaves that had been soaked yellow on the ground again, and said, "This tea leaves are from tea houses in the outskirts of the capital. Tang Bo brought back ten packs, totaling seven taels of silver."

Li Guihua's expression changed when she heard him count one by one.

But Zuo An didn't stop, pointing to Li Guihua and said: "The outer material of the cotton padded coat you are wearing, and the material of your grandson, from Jinxiu Cloth in the capital, my cousin brought back two horses, and four other fabrics. Do you want me to continue talking about how much money my cousin has taken away from my family over the years, and what has he brought back?"

Li Guihua choked for a moment, and the next moment she started to play again, "It was given by your family voluntarily, and we didn't ask for it! Anyway, I don't have any money, so don't try to take a penny from me!"

Hearing Li Guihua's words, Zuo Tugen's heart was broken, and he hurried forward to pull Li Guihua, but was thrown away by Li Guihua.

Zuo An snorted coldly, and didn't tell her anymore, since she was shameless, he also fulfilled her.

He looked up at the village chief and the surrounding villagers, and said, "Village chief, all uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts, please comment."

Everyone looked at him.

Zuo An said: "Everyone knows that my father used to find an errand in the capital. Although it was an official errand, it actually didn't have much money. In the past ten years, my cousin went to Beijing five times. My father always missed the brotherhood and saved food every time. Frugality also prepared money for my cousin, and if you add it up, you will have four or five hundred taels, and you are going to bring it back for food."

"Nowadays, my nephew's family is in trouble, and my nephew doesn't expect anything else. I just hope that my cousin's family can help repair the house, so that I can find a place to stay. But you have seen the situation today. And The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and my nephews still don’t know what to do, so I ask the village chief and all the uncles to help my nephews seek justice.”

After Zuo An finished speaking, the villagers started talking.

"It's so outrageous!"

"White-eyed wolf, after getting so many benefits from others, I don't even want to help them build a house!"

"It's an ungrateful thing, I've seen that this couple is not a good person!"

Everyone criticized, Li Guihua stood up with her hips on her hips and was about to scold back, but was dragged back by Zuo Tugen and the eldest son.

Zuo An turned his head to Yin Peinan and said, "How could your captain be at a disadvantage?"

"Yeah." Yin Peinan nodded in agreement, "However, captain, I still hope that you can live in my house. After this quarrel, it will be embarrassing to live here in the future. There is no need to be unhappy. Yingying is still so young, don't It would be good to have some psychological impact on her."

Zuo An originally wanted to refuse, but he hesitated again after hearing what was said later.

Yin Peinan continued her efforts and said, "Shuizhu said, you can let Yingying sleep with her, girls, it's easy to communicate. Besides, I still have a lot of things I want to discuss with you."

After thinking about it, Zuo An finally nodded, "Okay. That's bothering you."

Yin Peinan couldn't wait, how could he bother.He said happily, "Don't bother."

Over there, Li Guihua made another fuss.

The village head immediately invited several elders of the Zuo family, and finally the clan decided to ask Zuo Tugen to promise on the spot to repair the house for Zuo An.

Zuo An said again, "Thank you all the clan elders, Zuo An didn't dare to bother my uncle anymore, and my uncle directly gave me ten taels of silver, and I

Find someone to repair it. "Zuo Tugen repaired it, he still doesn't feel relieved.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zuo An also took back the family's three acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land.

After Li Guihua was reluctant but had to hand over ten taels of silver and the land, Zuo An took Wen Yi and Zuo Baoying, packed up their luggage, left Zuo Tugen's house immediately, and followed Yin Peinan back home.
