Chapter 140 Everyone in the new city sympathizes with Mrs. J
n turned her head to look outside. With a small, chubby hand, she held an orange candy and quietly slipped it into Grandma's mouth.The scent and sweetness of the orange immediately lifted the old woma...And at that very moment, the pier next to a bustling market in the city suddenly erupted.
"Oh, my! How did a boat get here Whose boat is it that wasn't tied properly"
"No, look! There's someone on the boat! Why aren't they wearing any clothes"
"Haha, there's a white-striped pig here, it's bare-bottomed!"
"Where, where, let me see!"
"This is an insult, getting beaten up Haha, just no slap in the face, afraid others wouldn't recognize it, what a loss!"
"Who knows this person Whose family are they from Hurry up and send a message!"
"Why send a message Why not just look at him for a while longer But who is this person anyway His wife must be quite pitiful."
"Haha, yeah, so pitiful, I'm afraid he'll be weeping all night long!"
There's no shortage of people who love to watch the excitement in this world!
Today, the barbarians have occupied half of the land. Everyone has fled to the south of the Yangtze River, making it overcrowded and driving up prices. Everyone is filled with anxiety.
Today there was such a sudden commotion, which also added some humor to everyone's life.
Thus, Gong Zi lay on the deck of the boat for half a time.
The common folk of the entire bustling city, along with onlookers who had come especially to hear the commotion, and even bold housewives from the market, all got a clear view of his “background,” only then did he wake up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a dense crowd of people on the shore. He was still dazed and winced in pain when he moved his limbs.
Just as he was about to speak, a gust of cold wind blew past, making him shiver uncontrollably, especially the empty space between his legs, which instantly drove him mad.
"Who, who, is it that dared to scheme against me"
He ignored the pain in his body and jumped up, clutching his legs.
But jumping up again only made it clearer to everyone.
So, he paced back and forth anxiously, looking for a place to hide.
It's a pity, it's just a flat-bottomed boat without even a hold!
On the shore, someone bold shouted, “Don’t hide anymore, everyone has been watching for half an hour!”
Hee hee hee!
Unable to bear it any longer, everyone burst into laughter.
Lord Jiao pointed his finger at the crowd, wanting to scold them, but then something else was exposed...
He angrily rolled his eyes and fainted again!
Fortunately, several of his companions found him missing and followed along the river to locate him. They quickly pulled him out of the water, wrapped him in clothes, and put him in a carriage to escape from the small dock.
But they still came too late, the whole New City knew about it.
But Master Jiao's face was unharmed, and those who knew him revealed his identity.
The eldest grandson of the Jiao family, who wasn't very capable, became a general in the Dingbei Army because his younger sister became the wife of the Duke of Dingbei. As a result, he made a mistake within two months and was removed from his post...
Of course no one would believe that he staged this whole thing because he enjoyed performing. Perhaps he offended someone and was set up.
But no one cared who he had offended, they only thanked him for contributing the "juicy details," enough to make the whole city smile for half a month.
And after that, the eldest mistress of the Jiao family never dared to go out again. She couldn't bear facing the pitying gazes of everyone...
Li Lao'er and his men laughed all the way back to Suijin Beach, quite regretful that they hadn't seen their enemy's fate.
In the village, families were just lighting their fires to cook dinner. Seeing Li Lao'er and the others return, they all rushed forward to ask questions about what happened.
Li Laosì gave the things to Tao Hóngyīng, and then led everyone to sit down around Village Chief Zhōu.
Li Lao'er then said, “All the people from Beidi have come across the river, needing to settle and divide land. There are bound to be conflicts. I heard that not long ago, there was a fight between local villagers and the displaced refugees who had come from outside, and several people died.”
The village head nodded, “Today Hongying and the others went to the village to exchange radishes and cabbages, and they almost got chased out. They only managed to get some information by going to that old man's house from yesterday, and exchanged for a few things.”
Everyone was worried, “So we can’t change places”
Li Laer sighed, "This area is already crowded, this place is really the only quiet and independent one left. And further south, near Xindu, those aristocratic families fight over land even more fiercely. We wouldn't stand a chance."
"What are we going to do" a woman sobbed quietly, "We can't farm here. Are we just going to starve"
The man scoffed, "Why are you crying Solutions are thought up by people, there's nothing insurmountable."
"Yes, well said. Everyone's still injured, no need to rush. Let's take a trip up the mountain tomorrow and get acquainted with the surroundings. Perhaps then we'll come up with a good plan."
The village head set the tone, and there was no better way for everyone else. They had to do it this way.
Li La Er bought back some bone marrow and threw it into a big pot to make soup. He ladled out a small pot and cooked noodles in the broth, which became the sick person's meal.
The rest of the pot was filled with chopped cabbage, cooked until tender and seasoned with salt. Everyone ate it with great satisfaction.
Mr. Wen insisted on eating the big pot rice, only Mrs. Cui held a bowl of noodles.
Two people whispered to each other, "Senior brother, accompany me into the city tomorrow!"
Mr. Wen nodded, hesitatingly asked, "Are you planning... to divorce"
Mrs. Cui finished the last bite of noodles, put down her chopsticks, and looked neither sad nor happy.
"Yes, I'm leaving. Since he's so heartless and unfeeling, remarrying without a care for me, I won't stay here out of obligation. But the things my father prepared for me, I want them back. Especially the land and shops, they were my mother's dowry, and I won't let these beasts get away with it!"
"Alright, I'll go with you!" A hint of joy flickered in Mr. Wen's eyes, which he quickly concealed behind his eyelids.
“Brother, only you are still lagging behind. Come with me to visit an elder first. My father... couldn't stop me back then, so he made some plans for me. I didn't expect they would come in handy now. It's just... I feel indebted to my father's love!”
Mrs. Cui lowered her head, two tears splashing onto her knees, brimming with regret.
If I had listened to my father back then, I wouldn't have suffered for so many years and now be humiliated like this.
"Junior sister, don't dwell on it any longer. It's not too late for you to realize the truth now. Your master in heaven will surely be overjoyed."
Mr. Wen wanted to say more and do more, but he could only sit there...
In Li's humble dwelling, Jia Yin had just finished her bowl of meat noodle soup when Zhang Shenyi grabbed her and stuck needles into the back of her head, making it look like a porcupine.
She pouted her little mouth and sat quietly, but she was also worried in her heart, wondering when things would get better.
The space being closed is really inconvenient.
Seeing his little sister like this, Jiarren felt very sorry for her. He carefully carried her around the surroundings.
Jia Yin suddenly remembered that day when her elder brother had held the cleaver to the neck of that useless general, truly looking like a rabbit cornered. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Wow, big brother is amazing!"
Jia Ren didn't know how his little sister could praise him for being so clever, but he was happy that she spoke much more fluently. So he teased her sentence by sentence and had her recite the nursery rhymes with him.
A few mischievous boys, filled with excitement, also came to join in the fun, running behind and mimicking everything they heard.
Thus, in the dilapidated camp, fires crackled, yet the sound of reading filled the air.
As the villagers listened, the worry on their faces slowly faded.
One shouldn't be too greedy. Their only desire is to live, and as long as they live, there is hope!
The next day, before dawn broke, Wen Hai left. When he returned, he brought a carriage with him.
Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui bade farewell to the Li family and the others briefly, saying they were going into the city to visit relatives and friends.
The villagers naturally couldn't stop them, so they just agreed to keep moving around.
Jiao Yin lay on her mother's back, frowning slightly. She always felt that the carriage's shadow seemed to carry a hint of determination...
Three chapters are served up, today is not a suffocating chapter, continue to urge more ball five-star good reviews, heheheanguai was displeased with Bao Lei's arrogance just now. If the master hadn't arrived, they wouldn't have known how to handle this predicament.Besides, in the long run, it is impossible for the county...
