Chapter 46: Step 3: Next set

On the second day, Lin Qingwan distributed these things evenly. One catty of pork and ten eggs per household, only the gift from Li Zhengjia is heavier, the pork and eggs are doubled, and two packets of snacks are added. Then I asked Yang to take her from house to house to thank people.
The people who came to say thank you were very surprised. It was originally only a help between the neighbors. I didn't expect that others would come to thank you with gifts. Although these things are not worth any money, the people who have been thanked by them are very happy. They praised the daughter-in-law whom Yang Tiezhu had married for her generous and generous handling of people. By the way, she also cared about how Yang Tiezhu's injury was going.
Regarding Yang Tiezhu's injury this time, because there were many offspring who went to the mountains to help find people, there were still many people in the village who knew the inside story.
Knowing that Yang Tiezhu went up the mountain this time because Yang Xuezhang was in urgent need of management during the exam. After Yang Tiezhu's accident, it was not Old Yang who summoned people to find his son, but Yang's aunt. And when Yang Tiezhu was sent to the doctor, besides Yang and Mrs. Yang, as well as Yang Tiezhu’s wife Lin, none of the Yang family showed up...
Some people in the village also saw some clues, but after all, they didn't know the specific information, so it was passed in private, and it was not clear.
When mentioning Yang Tiezhu's injury, Lin Qingwan suddenly seemed to be dripping, and Yang also sighed while wiping tears while describing the seriousness of Yang Tiezhu's injury this time.
After talking about the injury, Yang didn't say anything about it anymore, and he looked like he wanted to talk but was heartbroken. When someone asked her again, it was either to divert the topic, or to lead Lin Qingwan to the next door to thank her, and the people who really hooked were itchy. Lin Qingwan played a sad look from beginning to end without speaking.
Yang's and Lin Qingwan's posture for acting was actually discussed before.
For what? In fact, after Yang Tiezhu was injured, the various actions of the Yang family angered the Yang family. They felt that they had no affection. Then she told Lin Qingwan that she had been buried in her heart and wanted to let Yang Tiezhu and the others separate.
Lin Qingwan happened to have this idea, and the two of them got together and discussed the matter.
After analyzing various things, both of them feel that it is difficult to separate families now. Even if Yang Tiezhu was injured, the Yang family did not care, but outsiders did not know.
After all, both Mr. Yang and the He family are still alive. When the son-in-law proposes to separate the family, anyway, it is an act of rebelliousness, and he will be stabbed in the village. If they still want to live in the village in the future, they can't ignore this.
Finally, Lin Qingwan thought of an idea and told the Yang family. Yang thought it was not bad, and the two set out.
These are just the first steps...
After visiting the door to say thank you, Lin Qingwan went back to her hut and continued to embroider her own embroidery and supplement Yang Tiezhu's body, hoping to make up for his loss of vitality. But Yang's side is lively...
Some of the seven aunts and eight aunts came to visit one after another.
Once the autumn harvest is over in Luoxia Village, there is nothing else to do. The men finish their housework, and those who are more industrious, go to the town to do odd jobs, and those who are lazy or have better conditions at home will prepare "cat winter" at home, or meet a few people who have a good relationship to drink together. Pass the time with a little wine or something.
The women are either busy washing the bedding and sewing winter clothes at home, or looking for people everywhere to chat about people's rights and wrongs.
In the countryside, it’s nothing more than trivial things that the chickens from this family ran to the house and laid their eggs. The two families fight each other. Yang Tiezhu was injured in Luoxia Mountain and almost died. It’s a thing in Luoxia Village. This is a big deal. It’s just that Yang Tiezhu has been seeing a doctor in the town, and his injuries are quite serious, so everyone is not embarrassed to talk. And everyone didn't know exactly what was going on. Yang Tiezhu's mother, He, was also a shrewd temperament, and no one dared to ask about it.
Finally, this posture of the Yang family came out, as if he still had inside information. Suddenly it looked like a cracked egg, attracting all the aunts and wives to come. That is one wave after another, endlessly.
Yang was still unwilling to say anything at first, always interrupting all kinds of things. But there were so many people who couldn't stand it, and all of them were superb, and gradually revealed some news.
Find out a little bit of news from this one, and find out a little bit of secrets from that one, and then everyone hears and hears and sits together.
Wow, this is terrible, this is the most important thing!
The aunts, aunts and daughters-in-laws suddenly boiled, and the internal information about Yang Tiezhu’s injury was spread quickly in Luoxia Village...
It is said that Yang Tiezhu was injured in order to make money for the Yang family’s senior four in the exam...
It is said that Yang Tiezhu was injured and the Yang family did not show up except Yang Lao San and his wife...
It is said that Yang Tiezhu was seriously injured and almost died at the time. When I went to the town’s medical clinic, other doctors said it could be treated, but the cost was not small...
It is said that Yang Tiezhu didn’t pay a penny for his treatment, and he didn’t even have anyone to see...
It is said that Yang Tiezhu’s charming little daughter-in-law almost did not cry to death. The Yang family who begged grandpa to tell her grandmother did not take out any money. In the end, she couldn’t buy all her jewelry, and she borrowed a sum from her aunt Yang. Yinzi pulled Yang Tiezhu back from the ghost gate...
It is said that it is not that the Yang family can't come out with the money, it is because the money has to be used for the Yang family's fourth fourth exam, and it didn't help Yang Tiezhu...
It is also said that Yang Tiezhu's injury was extremely serious this time. The most important thing is that his left shoulder was patted by the blind bear, and his left arm was scrapped...
The last one is the most terrifying news!
Who is Yang Tiezhu? That was a well-known strong man from ten miles and eight townships. He was tall and powerful, and there was nothing wrong with hitting wild boars and tigers. Now his arms are broken!
The broken arm is a very big thing in the countryside, because the farmers have to go to the field to do farm work, which is all manual labor. If a man’s arm is broken, it is equivalent to a waste of strong labor.
It was originally a well-known strong laborer in the village, but now he is disabled, and the people in the village really feel sympathy for his experience. Of course, there is no shortage of people who were jealous that Yang Tiezhu could hunt before, with twisted secret joy and gloat in their hearts.
In any case, the rumor that Yang Tiezhu's arm was broken spread rapidly in Luoxia Village, almost to the point where it was known from house to house.
Many people wanted to come to visit poor comrade Yang Tiezhu, but because of the strange and playful He in the Yang family, they did not dare to come.
He’s weird, poppy, stingy, is famous in Luoxia Village. Except for some people who dare to provoke her, few people dare to provoke her. In addition, the He family is not separated from others, and there are almost no women in the village who come to talk about it, so the He family still does not know these rumors for the time being.
But sooner or later, I will know, because there is a Wang in the Yang family who likes to talk about people's right and wrong, and another Yang Tieshuan who likes to drink and gamble with rogues in nearby villages.
The rumors are not in the ears of the Yang family, but others are talking behind their backs, and sooner or later they will know when the discussion reaches a certain level.
Lin Qingwan had just such an idea, she said it was undesirable to pretend to be pitiful, and it would not be easy to explain why Yang Tiezhu's arm was OK in the future. Rumors are the best weapon. They reach the Yang family's ears, and there are still people who can't stand still.
...
On the other hand, the He family was very refreshed during happy events.
Yang Tiezhu was injured, but she did not have the money to cure the illness. Although Erfang said that the ‘famine’ brought by Yang Clan had to be paid back at that time, in her eyes she would never admit it. Yang Chunhua had filled in this blood hole.
In addition, this time her old son will definitely be able to come back with a talented talent. That is a sure thing.
She couldn't help thinking about waiting for her son to be admitted to Xiucai Gong to tell her son a good relationship. There is also the second sister of the Yang family, who is also the eldest girl of 15, and it is time to say kiss.
Yang Xuezhang has been procrastinating and did not say a kiss, because He has always believed that his son will pass the exam. Becoming a Xiu Cai Gong, what kind of marriage can't be said? The He family had the idea of ​​telling the old son a good marriage!
There is also Yang Ermei, who became the younger sister of Xiucai Gong, and she might be able to marry a wealthy family and be the wife of the house.
After sending away Yang Xuezhang, who went to the county to take the exam, and Yang Tiegen, who went outside to accompany the exam with him, He couldn't help thinking with joy.
She had calculated all the girls in Luoxia Village one by one, and there was nothing good. I haven't heard of anything good in the nearby villages. The He family wanted to go to the town to tell Yang Xuezhang a wife.
However, He is not very good at playing and hearing about which girl will be a wife. She couldn't help thinking again, whether to find a good matchmaker to tell Yang Xuezhang about the marriage.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was good, so he helped Yang Tiegen go to the county to accompany Yang Xuezhang in the examination, and the He family also supported Yang Tieshuan to invite the most famous horse matchmaker from Shili Baxiang to the house.
Yang Tieshuan was originally unwilling to go, but he was scolded by He, and he had no choice but to get up and go out.
After half an hour had passed, Yang Tieshuan invited the matchmaker Ma.
He entertained the horse matchmaker in the main house, and it was rare for Yao to serve tea and some fruits.
The two exchanged greetings, and He explained to the matchmaker Ma what he meant for her.
Matchmaker Ma is very familiar with mediators. After understanding what He means to matchmaking to her old son, she introduced some pretty good girls to He in general.
He was silent for a while after listening, and gradually showed dissatisfaction.
"My son is going to be a talented man soon, will you change some more good conditions?"
What family has more than ten acres of land, what kind of brother is a carpenter, what kind of family lives in a large tiled house, what kind of uncle is from a certain village...Her son is a Xiucai, how can such a poor family situation match her son! ?
He has forgotten that their Yang family is actually such a poor family, not even as good as others. It's just that she was immersed in the joy that her son was about to become a talented man, and ignored these, and wanted to match her son with a girl with the best family background. Even the girl from the county grandfather’s house is worthy of her son.
After hearing what He said, Matchmaker Ma frowned.
She also knows the situation of the Yang family, especially Yang Xuezhang.
In their business, they don't have much information in their hands, but they can't be mixed. Especially for these unmarried men from ten miles and eight villages, the matchmaker Ma holds the information in her hands.
Yang Xuezhang's information is also in the hands of Ma Matchmaker. How can I say that Yang Xuezhang is not a good marriage partner in the eyes of Ma Matchmaker.
If the post-generation materials in the hands of the matchmaker Ma are divided into three levels, then Yang Xuezhang can only be regarded as the second level at best.
At first, I couldn't restrain the chicken, and I didn't take the county test several times. There is a mother and sister-in-law of this kind in the family.
Generally, people with a little wealthy family rarely marry a girl to such a family, although the Yang family's family background is considered good in Luoxia Village.
But the embarrassment is embarrassment. The matchmaker Ma is still very professional and introduced several girls with good home environment to He.
He was still dissatisfied, and the face of Matchmaker Ma gradually turned bad.
I wondered why this old lady was so ignorant of the heights of the sky, and didn't I know what her son was like? The toad wants to eat swan meat, but you want to find a good one. The key is that someone else’s girl’s family is willing to do it!
He looked at the matchmaker Ma’s face, and knew what she was thinking in his heart. He couldn’t help being a little annoyed by the matchmaker’s dog who looked down on people.
In the normal days, the He clan had long been going around, but this time she did not dare. Yang Xuezhang is about to start talking about marriage, and if he offends the matchmaker Ma, there is no matchmaker who dares to take over their family's marriage. I had to suppress the anger in my heart, and hadtily perfunctory horse matchmaker, asking her to help pay attention to what some good girls said to her son, and then sent the horse matchmaker away.
After the matchmaker Ma left, He angrily poured the tea she had drunk into the yard. While pouring, I wanted to wait for my son to come back as a Xiucai, and see if your matchmaker is still so inferior!
Wang was not in the room just now, and didn't know the situation, so he leaned forward without a wink.
"Mother, how is it? The fourth child's marriage is done? Which girl is it from? Our fourth child must be a good girl!" Originally, I came to flatter, who knows that I caught a horse's hoof all at once. Go up, the horse hoof kicked up Wang's nose and face.
He rolled his triangular eyes and pulled Wang away impatiently.
"Go go, go up. It's free, right? Shovel the pigpen when it's free."
Wang clanked his lips in surprise, twisted and hurriedly stayed away from He, for fear that he would suffer the fish pond again.
The days passed by in the He family's several days. When Yang Xuezhang and Yang Tiegen hadn't returned home after the exam, the He family couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
But after another thought, it might have been some time delay on the road, and He was relieved again.
But one day, two days and three days passed each day, and in a blink of an eye, five days have passed since Yang Xuezhang should return home, and Yang Xuezhang still did not come back.
He couldn't sit still anymore, and called his eldest son Yang Tieshuan to ask him to find Yang Xuezhang in the county. The second child Yang Tiezhu was injured and inconvenient to go. The only male available at home was the boss Yang Tieshuan.
The old couple and the big couple were discussing in the main room. At this time, Yang Tiegen came back.
He was the only one who came back, not seeing Yang Xuezhang. Yang Tiegen's eyes were bloodshot, beard and clothes were unkempt, and he could see that he was very haggard and tired.
Seeing Yang Tiegen's return, He immediately drove him to the main house. Yao Shi and Lin Qingwan followed when things were wrong.
"Lao San, where's your younger brother? Where did you get your younger brother?" He's really broken at this moment, shaking Yang Tiegen and shouting.
The He's behavior and style has never changed. It doesn't ask why it is indiscriminate. As long as it is not Yang Xuezhang, it will be condemned.
What Yang Tie wanted to say at all, he was so excited that he roared and couldn't say anything.
Old man Yang was also very anxious, but he saw that his third son was so blush that he couldn't speak, so he quickly dragged He to the Kang and sat down.
"Okay, don't shake him, you let the youngest say it slowly, it's useless to be anxious now."
He also knew that it was not the time to shout, and his hands and feet were soft and he was dragged onto the kang by Mr. Yang. On Yang Tiegen's side, Yao Shi moved a stool to let him sit down again and poured water.
Yang Tiegen sat down and poured a large bowl of water before slowly explaining the reason for the matter.
It turned out that when Yang Xuezhang and Yang Tiegen arrived in Huaihe County, they found a small inn to live in, along with the classmate surnamed Chen and his father.
Because He's money was limited, the two opened a room. Of course it was Yang Xuezhang's bed, and Yang Tiegen hit the floor.
Rested at the inn, because it was one day early, Yang Xuezhang and his classmate Chen had a day out.
Before dawn on the third day, the two went to the county government to call in. Before entering, they were all smug and confident.
Yang Tiegen and Chen's classmate's father had been waiting outside the county office, until the afternoon, the candidates gradually appeared.
Yang Xuezhang and Chen's classmates helped each other and walked out, both of them were pale, with a look of despair and disbelief, as if they had suffered a great blow.
After Yang Tiegen’s hurried questioning, it turned out that Yang Xuezhang and his classmate Chen had entered the examination room, and they had already answered the questions with confidence.
Who knows that after seeing the subject, they were all dull. The two looked at the subject of the eight-part essay and then looked at the subject of the poem on the test post. It was even more thunderous. The subject matter is irrelevant.
At this time, the two of them were no longer in the mood to continue the exam, and they were full of questions about why the questions were wrong. Until the prescribed time for the exam was up, they didn't write a word on the test paper and could only hand in a blank paper. Until the examination room started to rush people, the two people walked out of the examination room softly and support each other.
After listening to the two of them, Yang Tiegen and the classmate surnamed Chen didn't know what to do anymore. Seeing the two suffered heavy injuries, they quickly helped them back to the inn.
After staying at the inn until the evening, Yang Xuezhang and the classmate surnamed Chen woke up. The two discussed it, and accompanied by their relatives, they looked for several other candidates who also bought the exam questions.
Most of the candidates who came to take the exam in Huaihe County this time lived in a few small inns nearby. Yang Xuezhang and the classmate Chen also knew where they lived.
Looking for them all the way, the other candidates were in the same situation as them, and only then did they realize that they had been deceived.
The people who bought the exam questions from the scholar named Hu were all deceived by him. None of the exam questions was correct, but they did a lot of homework on the exam questions.
Several deceived scholars sat together for a long time, and after discussing it for a long time, they discussed that they would go to find that surnamed Hu together tomorrow.
But where should I find it?
They synthesized the information and only knew that the man was named Hu, his family was in Huaihe County, and he had relatives and friends in Luoyun Town. And even the exam questions are false, maybe the person's information is also false.
But no matter what, it was 50 taels of silver. These candidates were not rich at home, and they took it out after almost emptied the entire family.
This was an imaginable search, and after searching in the county for two days, no news was found. And they are after all about cheating in the examination room, so they don't dare to make a loud announcement to report to the official, they only dare to find someone to inquire in private.
After searching for two days to no avail, the few people had to discuss back to the town and look for it again. During the test, the blame and heartbreak of the parents who accompany each other during the test, I will not describe them here.
Back in Luoyun Town, Yang Xuezhang stayed at the home of a classmate surnamed Chen, and planned to continue to search for the scholar surnamed Hu, and seeing that it had been a few days since returning home, he sent Yang Tiegen home to report the letter.
He burst into tears after hearing it, and Mr. Yang's expression was also ugly.
Dafang husband and wife looked dull, and they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
Yang Tiegen had already known it and had been with him for several days, so he was expressionless at the moment. However, Yao Shi and Lin Qingwan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Oh my God, this still keeps people from living, that's 50 taels of silver..."
He didn't care whether his son was a Xiu Cai at this time, so he could only care about the 50 taels of silver. She was really sad this time and cried. She slapped her thighs and cried, her face was covered with tears.
Wang reacted from the shock, and immediately jumped up.
"Mother, what do you say? This is 50 taels of silver, the family's possessions, so nothing?"
No one paid any attention to her. At this time, both the He family and the old man Yang were only concerned about their sadness, so there was no time to take care of her.
"Such a person should really be smashed into pieces. Should we report to the official?" Yang Tieshuan was also itchy with hatred.
Yang Tiegen, who had been sitting there with his head down, raised his head and said a word. "This matter can't be a big issue, and if it's a big one, you can't get rid of it. After all, it's cheating on scientific examinations. Known, this matter can be big or small."
Yang Tiegen didn't understand the relationship either. It was only when the examinees were discussing it, he just listened to it.
He who thought the boss suggested it was good to stop the crying, when he heard this, he started howling again.
The newspaper official can't do it, and no one can be found when looking for it. It seems that this is really nothing.
The room was quiet, only He could hear the cry of sadness.
After standing for a while, several people dispersed. Lin Qingwan returned to the house and told Yang Tiezhu about it.
After listening to Yang Tiezhu, there was no expression on his face. After a long time, I slowly said something.
