Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 307 What a coincidence
Lin Shuli smiled and bowed to Xu Zhichun, "Madam Xu, congratulations, the imperial court's commendation and reward have arrived. My Lord specifically asked me to tell you first that tomorrow my Lord, the county magistrate, and the prefectural magistrate who has come down from the government will all come to Liangjia Village to deliver the imperial court's commendation and reward. Congratulations, hahahaha!"
The scene instantly became lively.
Xu Zhichun quickly returned the greeting, tears streaming down her face as she showered him with gratitude: "Thank you so much, sir. The emperor's grace is immense, the court has favored you, and it's thanks to you, sir Lu and all the others, that I am where I am today. I am truly indebted to you!"
"Haha, Madam Xu, please don't be so polite. This is what you deserve!"
Everyone was in high spirits, felt proud, and congratulated them one after another.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to Zhichun!"
"Our Zhichun is just amazing, haha!"
"Who says it isn't true? It's a blessing for our village to have Zhichun here."
"Yeah yeah."
"The Emperor's grace is truly immense! I never thought I would actually receive a reward!"
"Look at what you said. How could Lord Lu lie? Lord Lu said there must be something. Zhichun is amazing. Doesn't this mean that all the high officials in the capital, and even the emperor, know about her? Amazing."
"Don't they all know about our Liangjia Village?"
"Wow! That's right, hahaha! Our Liangjia Village is famous too!"
"Hahaha, even our ancestors would wake up laughing!"
"yes!"
“.”
The whole place was boiling with praise and envy, smiling faces and a happy atmosphere.
Liang Lizheng invited Lin Shuli into the house with a smile on his face, and asked someone to quickly invite the fourth grandmother, the sixth grandfather and other village elders to come over to discuss the matter together. He also asked everyone to disperse if they had nothing to do and not to disturb the discussion of important matters.
Since it concerned the honor of the whole village, everyone was very understanding and cooperative. Although they wanted to stay and witness the fun, they still left reluctantly and happily.
"Hey, where are the Liang and Zhang families?"
Someone shouted.
Only then did everyone realize that Uncle Liang and his family had quietly left at some point.
Everyone laughed.
"Oh my, this is hilarious!"
"Do you think they will regret it?"
"I don't know. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely regret it, but I would definitely not admit it."
"You are so mean, hahaha!"
Everyone started joking around and making fun of it, and this joke could last for at least half a month.
What does it mean that even God can't stand it? This is what it means.
Otherwise, why did the people sent by Lord Lu arrive at this time, neither earlier nor later?
It's just a coincidence.
At the home of the eldest wife of the Liang family.
Even though we are all family behind closed doors, it still feels very awkward.
This is such a mess.
This is too bullying!
I had just finished talking to Xu Zhichun, and the court’s reward arrived right away?
Who are you bullying?
Zhang couldn't help but mutter, "I think this was all that bitch Xu's scheme. She must have known that someone would be coming to the government office today, and she deliberately made such a scene, just to get rid of us and not let us benefit from it. Ugh! What a scheming little bitch!"
Liang Cui'er certainly agreed with her mother, "She is just that kind of person, don't we know that?"
She didn't mention that if she hadn't been the one to talk nonsense first, Xu Zhichun wouldn't have insisted on making trouble in front of Liang Lizheng.
Zhang was even more furious: "She's dreaming, no way! What does she know about such a big thing? Shouldn't I give her advice? His father, let's go to the village headman's house now. Can the village headman still chase us away?"
Uncle Liang's eyes were cold and heavy: "He can."
"ah?"
"Liang Lizheng can chase us away. And those old people like Fourth Grandma can do it too."
"What are you commenting on?"
"You still have the nerve to say that? It's all your fault, mother and daughter. If you can't control your mouths and say a single word of nonsense outside again, get out!"
When Zhang saw that her husband was really angry, she didn't dare to say a word. She just blamed Xu Zhichun in her heart and believed that she had been tricked by her.
Liang Cui'er also felt embarrassed, and she looked at her brother Song Lian secretly, feeling even more embarrassed.
She really doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of Song Lian Ge
Uncle Liang glared at Liang Cui'er angrily: "You guys go, leave quickly."
"Dad, I—"
"Go, go, go, hurry up!"
"But--"
I haven’t had lunch yet!
"Get lost! Don't you understand?"
Uncle Liang suddenly roared and glared at Liang Cuier.
What kind of door is this? It's more like a death star.
Originally, as the direct uncle and elder of the imperial family, Xu Shi was a woman, so it was inconvenient for her to appear in person. It was definitely not possible to avoid me and I had to appear myself. What an honor it would be. It was not impossible to find a way to take this honor.
What's the result?
Now they can't even get close to it, and Liang Lizheng and his men got it for nothing.
Zhang quickly grabbed Liang Cui'er and said, "Alright, alright, it's enough that you've come back now. Let's go."
With her father saying so and her mother saying so, Liang Cui'er felt even more aggrieved. Seeing her father and mother like this, she didn't dare to ask for lunch, otherwise she would be scolded again.
"Mom, please give me some sweet potatoes and potatoes so I can take them back for seeds. Please give me more."
Zhang immediately became alert and pulled Liang Cui'er aside, whispering, "Did your mother-in-law ask you to ask?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really not!"
Zhang's expression eased slightly and she snorted.
That's about right.
If her daughter had just gotten married and her mother-in-law urged her to ask for things from the family when she returned home on the third day, and the things she asked for were sweet potatoes or potatoes, which were so popular that money couldn't buy them, then she would scold her.
Liang Cui'er saw her mother's changing expression and swallowed the words "My sister-in-law asked me to ask" subconsciously when they came to her lips.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it.
She had a feeling that her mother would be unhappy if she told her.
"Mom, give it to me quickly. Just give me 20 or 30 kilograms. I don't want more."
"Isn't that too much?"
Zhang felt so heartbroken just hearing this.
You have to know that they didn't plant much, and they didn't take it seriously, so the harvest was not as much as other families.
Some was given to her parents' home, some was sold to the eldest son's wife's parents' home, and except for the amount allowed to be kept for seeds in the village, the rest was all sold to the government.
Relatives came to ask, we have sold a lot of three or two kilograms, how much do we have left at home?
I can’t bear to eat a single meal.
This damn girl asks for twenty or thirty kilograms right away?
"No, if you really want to, I'll give you five pounds of sweet potatoes and ten pounds of potatoes, but I can't give them for free. You have to pay with silver. Ten coins per pound."
"Mom! You want money!"
"Ah, what else? You silly girl, you've only been married for a few days, and you're already obsessed with sucking blood from your own family while trying to get your in-laws to do the same?"
“I don’t have any, but I don’t have any money.”
"Then ask your mother-in-law."
"I--"
She wanted to say that her mother-in-law had no money either, but she didn't dare say it, otherwise her mother would get angry and say that she was speaking for her in-laws.
"Mom, let's make a deal. I'll give you money after next year's harvest, okay?"
Zhang sneered, "You wish."
"mother!"
Liang Cui'er kept asking, and Zhang finally agreed, without giving her a good face. "Remember to return the money to me next year."
"That's right, don't worry, Mom!"
