Blissful Days After Widowhood

    In the past two years after Wang's marriage, the second elder of the Wang family dispelled his anger towards his precious daughter. It was only because of his face that he was provoked by the Zou family, so he didn't let his daughter go home.

    Later I heard that Wang had given birth to a big fat boy, and the grudges in Er Lao’s heart were all gone. He immediately went to the home and said that when the child was older, he would let Wang take it back to show them.

    Batou Village is a long way from Hanshan Town, and it takes more than ten days to walk fast. If you bring a newborn baby, it will take a month at least.

    Wang Shi originally thought that at least Wu Qingyi’s son would be one year old before he could endure such a tiring ride, but he did not expect that Wu Qingyi’s physique was different from ordinary people when he was half a year old. So old. Moreover, since birth, I have never had the headache and brain fever that children often have.

    Wang sent a letter to his family when he was half a year old, saying that he would go back with his son.

    The two elders of the Wang family were so happy that they cleaned up the north house that had been swept all the year round, and gave Wu Qingyi a pure gold longevity lock the size of a child's slap, and worried about running back and forth. The child is not good, so I decided to go to the famous temple in the next county to pray for blessings.

    But the temple was built on the outskirts of Yuanshan County, and Er Lao unfortunately encountered a mountain bandit. Those mountain bandits didn't count the robbery, but they injured their old age, and tied them and the Wang family brothers for ransom.

    When the brothers of the Wang family brought the man back with the ransom, the second old man still held his breath, but the air was too much and the air was too small. Before the doctor came, he knew that he was going to die soon. , began to explain carefully what happened behind him.

    What they mean is to divide the family's property into three parts, each of them three brothers and sisters.

    The two couples in the big room and the second room were not happy when they heard it.

    In the past, what they were most worried about was that the second old man was too partial to the Wang family, for fear that when the Wang family got married, a lot of family property would be posted as a dowry. The latter two elders proposed to let Wang's recruit Wu's father into the family, and they were so anxious that they didn't sleep a few nights.

    Fortunately, the second old man's plan didn't work out. The Wang family just married someone without any dowry. The two people thought that the entire Wang family belonged to their own pockets.

    I didn't want to make a big circle, and finally got a third of the points for Wang's out-married daughter!

    But the second old man was about to be out of breath at that time, and they didn't dare to respond. Gambling promised to do as they ordered.

    Finally, when the two elders asked the brothers to take good care of their sisters, the big room and the second room couple watched them die.

    Because of the urgency of the situation at that time, even the doctor did not have time to invite over, let alone inform the elders, so the only two couples who witnessed the will of the two elders.

    Afterwards, the two families combined together and simply concealed the matter of the will.

    Before the funeral of the two elders was completed, they were scrambling to divide the family property, and they even threw away the Wang family who returned home on schedule.

    Zou also came up with a plan, arranged for a warlock to go to Batou Village, and gave Wu Qingyi the fate of a celestial star and a relative. It was as if he wanted to put the death of the second old man on him, and put an end to Wang's idea of ​​returning to his mother's house.

    However, the Wang family is indeed stronger, and has not been in contact with her parents since then.

    Afterwards, they heard that there was a flood in Batou Village, and they thought that there would be no more troubles, so they were prepared to collect the body of Wang, but they heard that Wang brought his daughter-in-law and The youngest son came back to Hanshan Town.

    Because of this, the people in the two rooms were anxious, so before Wang came back, Zhao and Zou rushed to deceive her the next morning.

    But that matter disturbed Gu Yin, and Wang Shi also took out the family letter that the second old man wrote to her back then.

    At that time, they were really facing the enemy, and fortunately, the family was written early. At that time, it was only said that the north house was cleaned up and left to her, so that she could come back to live at any time. It is estimated that the second old man meant to wait for her to bring Wu Qingyi back, and then personally tell her about the division of the family property.

    They were relieved and only folded out a few dozen taels of silver.

    When they sent away the Wang family, they asked people to inquire again. Knowing that the Wang family had moved to Zhenyi Lane to seek a living on the dock, they didn’t take it to heart—even though Hanshan Town is small, But also stratified. In the eyes of the Wang family, that piece belongs to the untouchables, and it is no match for their own family.

    Now it's different, because at that time, the second old man died without any witnesses, but when they went to pray for incense, they asked an old friend from Yuanshan County to go together, and they were also robbed together. It is very likely that the family has spoken to the family.

    Although the two brothers did not communicate with each other after the death of the second old man, but now the daughter-in-law of Wang's family has made the business so big by the name of Mrs. Wen, not even the town All the guests on the board are capable of recruiting, and in case of encountering that old friend who knows it... It makes people dare not think deeply!

    When the few people were at a loss, Wang Dagui said: "At that time, I said that after she left the house, she would find a few strong men... They are orphans and widows naturally difficult to deal with, and there is no such thing as now. This is a dilemma. But the big brother was soft-hearted and did not agree at that time."

    Wang Dafu knew that he was wrong, but he still took out the air of his eldest brother and said: "After she got those dozens of taels from our family, she moved to the next door to the catcher in Zhenyi Lane. Who dares to be presumptuous there? Let Guan Cao head hold it, and if we are forced to ask us, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause! Besides, is it worth talking about the past?”

    Wang Dagui had a sarcastic smile on his face. He said earlier that he hired someone to do the murder. His eldest brother disagreed. . But they didn't think that Wang Shi and Gu Yin used to be unknown characters, and they died when they died. Now they have signed up in front of Mrs. Wen, so they can't use force!

    This is his eldest brother. He has no brains and no guts. But because of his status as the eldest son, he has been suppressed for a lifetime, and even more of that part was taken away when the family was separated.

    Now we have to unite the front, Wang Dagui put away that smile and said sternly: "Then I still have a way now, that is, I don't know if the elder brother agrees or not."

    After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice, repeated his plan, and said: "I have already inquired about this matter, as long as the elder brother agrees, it can be done in two days. And As you said, Jinyi Alley and the pier are places where the hood is closed, and other methods are easy to leave the first and last, but my method will not cause trouble. In short, as long as Xiaomei and their business are Stir up the yellow and make them unable to gain a foothold in the town."

      "

    …

    Reviewing Yin here, after closing the stall that day, she said something was wrong in the morning.

    It is normal to say that there are one or two difficult customers to serve occasionally, but there are five or six in the morning, which is very much like an organized and premeditated disturbance.

    She discussed it with Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang went to say hello to Guan Capitou, and asked him to pay more attention to the movements on his stall when he was patrolling.

    Guan Capitou also agreed, and asked Wang Shi along the way: "I heard that you are looking for a master for Xiaoye recently?"

    Speaking of this, Wang sighed - Gu Ye, this kid really didn't have the wrong name, so wild.

    Before, he and Wu An used ropes to tie them together. He took Wu An around for walks, but he would be a little bit more shy about him, and he knew he had to go home before dark.

    Now Wu An goes to Wen's house to go to school, Gu Yin and Wang Shi have to work, and it is not convenient for him to be tied to their hands.

    Gu Ye followed them to the wharf every day and they set out to help. At first, he replaced Wu An's job of helping with dishes and tables. But then there were more and more customers buying porridge. Gu Yin was afraid that the customers would push him or trample him, and she was also afraid that the full porridge bowl would burn him, so he let him play by himself.

    When he came home at night, Gu Yin and Wang Shi had to say a few words about him.

    He let them talk with a smile, without being stubborn. After they finished speaking, he poured tea for Gu Yin, smoothed Wang Shi's back, and knew that he had washed himself clean.

    After a month, this little guy turned black again.

      Generally, as long as he doesn't move and doesn't make a sound, he can't really be found.

    At the back of the house, he hired an old doctor. The old doctor said that he is much stronger than before, and more sun exposure is also good for him.

    As soon as these words came out, Gu Ye was even more violent every day.

    His clothes are changed every day, every day when Wang washes his clothes, he can wash out the mud. It is conceivable how much Amoy it is!

    It's not a problem to let the child be so wild, he can only use the basic short sentences in daily conversations, he is only four years old, and his body shape is only a little longer, but he just looks at it. Three years old is not suitable for reading.

    Gu Yin asked people to ask if there were any masters who knew how to fight and take apprentices - it would consume Gu Ye's vigorous energy, and it was better than letting him play wildly outside.

    Unfortunately, there are not many people in the small town who can punch and kick, and the only few who open martial arts halls and accept apprentices do not recruit such small beans.

    So I've been searching for a few days, and there's no charter for this matter.

    Now that Guan Zhaotou asked, Wang Shi finished with a sigh and said, "Isn't it true, this child is running around outside all day, and her mother and I thought about him not coming back in the afternoon, Rest in peace."

    Guan Huotou said: "I still said that, although this child is adopted by your family, the public still has the responsibility to take care of him. It's better than this, my apprentice and I are on shifts. Rest the next day, let him follow us all morning when we rest, we take turns to teach him some boxing skills, teach him a morning, you can take him back when you close the stall at noon."

    "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

     "Of course not, we would have spent half a day practicing martial arts when we were off work."

    Wang hurriedly thanked her in surprise, and told Gu Yin when she got home.

    As a traveler, Gu Yin did not believe that people in this era can really fly over the eaves and go to the sea like in the martial arts novels. Kung Fu is of course a treasure of China, but she thought it should be like modern times to strengthen the body. Of course, after practicing it, it will be better than ordinary people, but it is definitely not the level in the novel.

    So when one day on the pier, Gu Yin saw Guan Yu’s head rise into the air and jumped out several meters to chase the thief, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

    She asked later to find out that it was because of Guan Huotou's solid martial arts that he suppressed those thieves, and now the people of Hanshan Town live and work in peace and contentment.

    Now I heard that Guan Caotou was willing to take Gu Ye, Gu Yin naturally agreed.

    Wang thinks more than her, and lowers her voice and laughs: "I heard that when Li Zhaotou was a child, he practiced martial arts with Guan Zaotou to handle cases. When I reach my twenties, I will be promoted to be the head of the police. Although there are only two yamen in a yamen, there are only two heads of the police. But when our Ono grows up, the age of the head of the police is too old, and it is time to retire, but Isn't it the class that just made him top off the head?"

    "Mother also thinks too far." Gu Yin gave her a helpless look, "How old is our Ono, how can we go out and handle the case? Follow the close arrestor Li arrester and they rest for a while. When it's time to learn martial arts, it's good."

    It doesn't matter if both of them agree, they have to discuss it with Gu Ye.

    When he went home again in the dark, Gu Yin told him the matter in detail and asked him what he meant.

    I didn't expect this kid to be very happy when he heard that he was sent to learn martial arts, but he was not happy when he heard that he was following Guan Sutou.

    Why is Gu Yinwei not happy for him?

    Gu Ye hurriedly explained: "His dock... chases me, I run."

    Afraid that his mother could not understand the situation at that time, he swayed back and forth with two small arms, indicating that he was running very fast at that time.

    "Then, swoosh...he flies, I can't run."

    He really couldn't act this "swoosh", and he was very anxious.

    Gu Yin watched him talk and act, and smiled: "You speak slowly, word by word, then what?"

    "I want to jump into the river later, he will not chase."

    Gu Yin had heard Aunt Ge and Lao Liutou mention this before, saying that the child was sleeping alone at the pier, and Guan Huotou wanted to send him to the Shantang, but he was too slippery , Guan Caotou was afraid of hurting him, so he didn't dare to grab him, he just wanted to exhaust him to the point of exhaustion. Unexpectedly, the child was so stubborn that he almost jumped into the river when he ran out of energy.

    Because of that, the people on the pier were helpless when they saw Guan Yutou, and no one dared to arrest him and let him wander there. It wasn't until Gu Yin and the Wang family went to set up a stall that the child had a home, and now Gu Ye.

    "Silly boy, why do you jump into the river?" Gu Yin pointed at him, and explained that he was going to be sent to a place to eat and drink, so he was chased and explained to He listens.

    Gu Ye nodded suddenly, and said, "I'm afraid of the one who wears that dress. Catch me."

    Gu Yin also understood.

    The world outside Hanshan Town is indeed very chaotic. The emperor is stupid, the upper and the lower are effective, the officials are corrupt, and even the quick catchers follow the fish and meat villagers.

    They are also lucky, they found a paradise like Hanshan Town in this troubled world.

    "Aren't all those who wear catching fast clothes are bad people. You think, people can fly like you said. If they want to arrest you, it is not very simple? He is afraid of hurting you. "

    Gu Ye wondered: "Isn't it... I run fast?"

    Wang couldn't help laughing next to him, and said, "You are forced to jump into the river? What are you doing, hurry up!"

    Gu Ye scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

    "I'll let you learn kung fu and fly like that, isn't it?"

    Gu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded hastily and said, "I learn to fly!"

    So Gu Ye went to the next door to learn martial arts.

    The next day, Gu Yin and Mrs Wang went to the wharf to set up a stall every day.

    When they set off, Guan Yutou next door was already punching in the yard. Gu Ye was sent over to learn from Zamabu.

    There was no such thing as Gu Yin expected to be provocative on this day. Although Gu Yin was still a little unsteady in her heart, it was always a good thing to be calm.

    After closing the stall in the afternoon, Gu Yin put her things at home and hurried to see Gu Ye next door.

    The child was still riding horses in the yard, and Guan Huotou accompanied him.

    Two figures, one big and one small, stood in one place, half-squatting with the same stride, and the same hands clenched their fists around their waists.

    Gu Yin was frightened, and asked hesitantly, "You won't be there from the time we set out to set up a stall at dawn, right now?"

    Guan Huo’s head was sweating profusely, and his breathing was heavy.

    Gu Ye's face was flushed, but he smiled and said: "He said, let's tie it together."

     Guan Caitou let out a long breath and said, "I said it."

    At first, he was afraid that the child would find it hard to squat and could not bear the temper to practice, so he said to accompany him.

    I thought that for such a big child, at most a stick of incense would be amazing, so Guan Huotou didn’t set a time limit.

    "Hey, Ono is about to go home for dinner!" Seeing that Guan Caotou's legs were shaking, Gu Yin couldn't bear it.

    Gu Ye obediently put away the battle, stood up, reluctantly waved at Guan Huotou: "Let's play together in the afternoon."

    "What in the afternoon, you got up with me in the middle of the night, and then slept with me at home in the afternoon after dinner." Gu Yin pulled him away, not forgetting to greet the man with his low trembling legs. Guan Caotou nodded in apology.

    When she got home, Mr. Wang made a simple lunch and asked Gu Ye how he was learning today at the dinner table.

    Gu Ye slurped his mouth while eating: "Okay, it's fun!"

    When Gu Ye was sent to take a nap in the room, Gu Yin said, "Don't ask, mother, I regret sending Xiaoye to learn martial arts." She said the "tragic situation" that she had just captured the head. described.

    Wang waved his hand and said, "That's just unnecessary worry, that's a catch! Can it make the child stumped? Everyday Huo Mu is an expert in boxing and martial arts at home!"

    Gu Yin was helpless, "No matter how powerful Guan Caotou is, he's not young anymore, he's about to know the age of destiny."

    "The physique of those who practice martial arts is not something we can speculate. On the other hand, we, Ono, have not even started to learn, so we have to sprint all morning. Aren't our two calves sore?"

    The two were talking and went into the house to see, Gu Ye was already sleeping soundly on the kang.

    When he fell asleep until midnight, when Gu Yin got up, he also got up.

    Gu Yin asked him if his legs hurt.

    He tilted his head and expressed doubts, as if he was saying it was fine, what is the mother asking about?

    Then he simply responded with actual actions, squatting and kicking in the room again, saying that he had nothing to do.

    Wu An rubbed her eyes and sat up when she heard the sound, and asked in a sleepy voice: "Xiaoye, you fell asleep when I came back yesterday. Mother and sister-in-law said you went to learn martial arts with Guan Caotou. , are you very tired?"

    Gu Ye immediately smiled and said, "Not tired, fun!"

    Wu An envied: "It's great, can I go with you when I'm off?"

    Gu Yin immediately said, "No, I advise you not to go."

    It was still early, Gu Yin asked Wu An to sleep, and took Gu Ye out of the house to wash.

    Wait before the stall, Gu Yin warned: "Today, you can't stalk another morning, you know? It's not good for your health."

    It's mainly for Guan Huotou's health.

    Gu Ye nodded in agreement.

    At the same time, Guan Yutou, who put on the trooper to serve, brought a saber and was ready to go out for duty, told his apprentice: "Don't take that child to sprint, find some Other practice."

    Li Zhaotou said strangely: "Doesn't practice martial arts start with squatting, when you brought me back then, didn't you let me tie for an hour?"

    Guan Huotou coughed lightly, "Anyway, it is a process of laying the foundation, and it is not limited to this form. You can think of other things."

    My master has more experience with apprentices than himself, so Li Zhaotou didn't ask any more questions. He just held his head and thought about it, and he didn't notice that his master was walking a little strangely today.

    Gu Ye knocked on the door cheerfully from the back, Li Zhuotou opened the door, looked at his short stature like a small bean, and for a while did not know what else to take him to practice except Zamabu.

    In Gu Ye's eyes full of anticipation, Li Zhutou said: "Otherwise, I will take you for a run? Yes, running and practicing Qi will be very helpful for the future cultivation of the inner family! I will accompany you. You run!"

    …

    Gu Yin and Wang Shi arrived at the pier that day, and found a new stall suddenly set up in the open space next to them.

    Their stall was already the worst on the pier, so there was no one on the other side. Mr. Daily Man sits there and fishes.

    It’s not surprising that there is one more stall, but the surprise is that the guys in this house—whether it’s low tables and stools, stall boxes, or even rough porcelain sea bowls, are all the same as those used by Gu Yin and the others. it's the same.

    Looking closely, this family is also a ferocious mother-in-law with a daughter-in-law.

    And that daughter-in-law is someone that Wang and Gu Yin know—the one who wanted to learn how to cook with Gu Yin before, but was the one who spoke sour words at Xu’s house and asked Xu to drive out Neighbor.

    They don't know the woman's surname, they just heard the neighbors call her Feng Cheng's family.

    "What are you doing here? Why do you learn from us?" Wang Shi recognized her and immediately quit, and immediately went to question.

    The daughter-in-law of the Feng family sneered: "You can set up a stall by paying money on the pier, why can't I come? Besides, my mother-in-law and I do business together to learn from your family? The world? Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set up stalls together to learn from your family?"

    Wang rolled up her sleeves and said, "You are making a lot of sense. I'm not talking about your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law setting up a stall together, just what these guys are..."

    "That's even funnier, I bought this guy off the shelf at the carpenter."

    Wang shi really couldn't argue with this. At the beginning, I used these guys because I was in a hurry when I decided to set up a stall, so I bought ready-made ones. Later, the family was a little richer, and they could have replaced it better, but one thing is that all those things are used smoothly, and the other is thinking that in a few months, I will go to Panpuzi to open a shop, so I will not waste money anymore.

    But I didn't realize that this was a loophole, and this Feng family's daughter-in-law was drilled!

    The queue started at the stall at home. Mrs. Wang turned around and saw that Gu Yin was busy, so she didn't care about arguing with her, and turned around to help.

    "Students are fine, there's something wrong!" Mrs. Wang looked at the bustling front of his stall, while the stall next door looked deserted and scolded in a low voice, "It won't last for two days. close down!"

    Gu Yin didn't answer her words. The people who made trouble that day didn't come back for a day. She was always a little uneasy. Today, the Feng family's daughter-in-law is learning the exact same battle of her family. Come prepared.

    She was thinking this, when suddenly there were many people on the pier, and they went to the next stall to line up as if they were organized.

    There were long queues in front of the two stalls, and the old woman next to the Feng family’s daughter-in-law also began to imitate Wang’s loud voice and began to shout: “Mr. Wen, one penny for a bowl! Two for money, and three for a penny for a vegetable bag!"

    The food they sell is the same as theirs, and it's much cheaper!
