Chapter 394 The army is approaching
The weather in the north was freezing cold, and the son-in-law was frozen for only half an hour before he turned purple and passed out.
The village chief and his men took him back to Zhangjia Village in a donkey cart.
The Ruan family wanted to rely on the son-in-law to eat up all the wages earned by Cuicui and make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not get a penny, but the son-in-law was tortured to death and "returned".
They also wanted to settle accounts with the Gu family, but Zhang Fanjian led the whole village to stand up and scold them.
"It's obviously your family that is dishonest. You found a good family for your nephew, but you don't know how to cherish him. Why did you die on New Year's Day!"
"Da Liu Village is easy to talk to. If it was my daughter who was wronged, I would have to break the legs of this gigolo."
"Our village still hopes to get along with Da Liu Village. If your family dares to cause trouble, get out of the village!"
At present, the reputation of the Jiang family and Da Liu Village is very famous in Zhangjia Village.
Even when the village chief and his family left, Zhang Fanjian nodded and bowed, took some snacks, and sent them out in a nice voice.
Zhangjia Village not only admired Da Liu Village, but also dared not provoke them.
Living to an old age, he was able to receive such great respect. When the village chief returned home, his mouth was always smiling.
In Liu Pozi's house, Ju Jiao lay on the kang for a whole morning, vomiting melon seed shells all over the floor.
After hearing from Mrs. Liu that little Nuobao had found Cuicui, the girl jumped up and hurried to get downstairs to put on her shoes.
"Will Cuicui be able to find a good family in the future? Then I have to ask Nuobao."
Little Nuobao was lying on the windowsill, peeling hawthorn rolls to eat.
At this time, Jujiao came into the house with a fat face after paying New Year's greetings to Mrs. Feng, and blinked at the little guy.
"Nuobao~ You can also look for Sister Jujiao~"
"Do you think I can marry a groom, a county official, or a general like Brother Fengze in the future?" Jujiao laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared.
The whole village knew that Mrs. Liu was in a hurry to marry her daughter.
But Jujiao was too picky and only hoped to marry a scholar or an official.
Little Nuobao was holding a hawthorn roll in her mouth, dumbfounded.
She could only peek into people's fate, but she was not a turtle in the wishing well!
Sister Jujiao was just daydreaming!
Helplessly, she had to close her eyes and meditate, but a big fat chrysanthemum appeared in her mind, stuck on the soaked cow dung.
Little Nuobao didn't dare to say anything, and could only scratch the soles of her feet to hide her embarrassment.
"That...that...cough cough..."
Jujiao's eyes were full of expectation.
"That...Mom, I want to drink water!" The little guy's soles were about to send out sparks.
Fortunately, Feng came in and rescued the lady, "Jujiao, please help my aunt. There is a plate of butterfly cakes and a bag of winter melon candy in the outer room. Please help deliver them to the old people's hall and give them to Old Li and the others." Jujiao's eyes lit up when
she heard that there was food. She hurriedly took the snacks and left. Needless to say, she must have secretly eaten a few pieces on the way. Little Nuobao breathed a sigh of relief and shrugged his shoulders. Sister Jujiao had better stop dreaming, because she will probably marry an old man in the future. At this time, Feng took out two small purses and stuffed them into the lady's hands. One of them contained a hundred coins, which was the New Year's money given to Nuobao by Widow Gu and Cuicui. The other was the 100-liang silver note Xiao Yi gave her when she went to Xianquanju, saying that it was for the grey-headed parrot as food, and the parrot was raised by both of them. Xiao Nuobao was a money-grubber, and when she saw that she had money again, she immediately smiled so hard that her baby fat was shaking. She bared her little white teeth, climbed onto the suitcase, and then, like a cat with its waist and butt sticking out, she took out her own money box to hide it. Jiang Fengnian deliberately approached and joked, "Tsk tsk, sister is hiding your little secrets again, but you are hiding it so openly, we all know it~" Xiao Nuobao raised her little face and looked at everyone with a smile, "You all saw it, so in the future, when you have spare money, remember to put it in my place~" Everyone laughed. This little guy is obviously trying to trick people. Adults naturally won't touch Xiao Nuobao's things. But she was too busy. She received a lot of money today, so she spent the whole afternoon counting money in the suitcase. By the end of the counting, her hands were a little cramped. In the evening, Mu Yihan suddenly received a top-secret military intelligence from a spy of the Black Armor Army. The letter said that there were unusual movements from the direction of Wala. In the past few days, hundreds of thousands of troops, disguised as ordinary people, are constantly approaching the capital. Mu Yihan narrowed his eyes. It seems that Xiao Jinshan finally couldn't hold back and was going to take action? So he called Ali and Jiang Fengze to the study in Xianquanju to discuss the matter. When passing by Xiao Yi's room, Mu Yihan stopped in front of the door, wanting to see if this kid had any unusual movements. Through the crack of the door, he saw Xiao Yi holding a pair of scissors, sitting at the desk, looking like he was going to do something big. Mu Yihan held his breath and listened carefully, and heard him muttering, "If you get a haircut in the first month of the year, your uncle will die. It's not allowed for the eldest uncle, only for the second uncle..." "If you get a haircut in the first month of the year, your uncle will die. The second uncle is about to die, but the eldest uncle is immune..." Mu Yihan was speechless, and after taking a closer look, he realized that he was actually cutting hair... and by the way, he was a little superstitious... So Mu Yihan shook his head, and after returning to the study, he discussed a few words with Jiang Fengze and Ali. Jiang Fengze took the order and rushed to Liaodong Camp, telling his brothers to make preparations. There would probably be major changes in the government and the public, so after the New Year, they would set off together and follow the imperial master into the capital to prepare for any emergency. When they returned from Donglazi Mountain, it was already dark. Jiang Fengze turned his horse around and was about to turn in the direction of Dalui Village when he suddenly heard a woman's scream for help not far away. "Ah! No, let me go!"
"Help me!"
Jiang Fengze frowned and hurried to the sound.
Soon, he saw several men holding a young woman in the small woods ahead, trying to do something indecent to her!
