Lao Wu wanted to die, but it was just a thought. Even ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. He still cherishes his life very much!
The group of people led by Tu Yidao to watch the scene were all ferocious. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Jian Ning for no reason. If that bitch was there, she might be able to beat these people.
Thinking of Jian Ning, he couldn't help but hate Ding Youtian even more, but Ding Youtian had that stinky woman protecting him and he couldn't afford to offend her now. When he was forced to sign to avoid further physical pain, the people he hated turned to Old Ding and Mrs. Meng!
If they hadn't changed their minds and given Jian's to Ding Youtian, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation and been beaten so badly. He was thrown out of the gambling house like an animal.
"Listen! Don't even think about running away. Don't think I don't know your background. My aunt is in your village. If you dare to run, I'll chop off your parents!"
Tu Yidao stood at the door and said gloomily.
Chop them both off! Chop them off!
Lao Wu hated Lao Dingtou and Meng in his heart. Not to mention that the family did not have 150 taels of silver, even if they did, they would rather he be beaten to death by Tu Yidao and his gang than give it to save his life.
He knows his parents too well.
Lao Wu, who had not slept all night, was sleepy and hungry. He thought of the first time he won money, and couldn't help but regret not stopping while he was ahead. He was about to leave at that time, and now he was sleeping at home with the money in his pocket. When he woke up, he could come to the town to eat and drink to his heart's content.
Regret it!
Lao Wu wiped away the blood and tears, his whole body burning with pain. He took off his short jacket to wrap his head and face that had been beaten like a pig, and walked towards the road leading to Dingjia Village with his head tilted.
He was worried about running into villagers who were rushing to the town early to sell vegetables, and being laughed at. On the way, he actually bumped into Ding Pingshun who was carrying vegetables. He quickly covered himself tightly again, but Ding Pingshun still recognized him, but he didn't know why he covered his head and face.
Did Lao Wu cover it up because he didn’t want to greet him?
It was really funny. Ding Pingshun turned around to look at him, but Lao Wu also turned his head to see if he noticed him. Halfway through turning his head, he caught a glimpse of Ding Pingshun turning his head with his eyes swollen like fish bubbles. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to look for something on the ground, cursing Ding Pingshun in his heart, "You consumptive bastard, look at your mother's legs!"
Of course, Ding Pingshun didn't know that he was cursing him in his heart. He just thought that he was afraid that he would ask him about the high price of grain. He knew that the Ding family had done this deal with Meng's family, and he also spat in his heart.
In reality, he wouldn't bother with Old Five at all. He didn't want to mess with the Ding family anymore. He'd been badly hurt by the eldest brother, Ding Youwang, the previous time, and it had left him incredibly worried yesterday. That family was a plague, and he'd avoid them all the time. And Old Five was actually trying to hide from him, thinking he was such a hot commodity.
He turned around and spat while carrying the load.
When Lao Wu entered Dingjia Village, the object of his hatred had changed from Old Ding and Meng to his wife, Lu! If she hadn't run back to her parents' home, his father wouldn't have asked him to pick her up. If he hadn't picked her up, he wouldn't have gone to gamble last night, let alone lost so much money.
If he waited until today to rest up enough before going to the gambling house, he would definitely win money and be able to show off in the town that afternoon.
That unlucky woman wants to use Qiao to wait for him to pick her up. I’ll divorce her!
Lao Wu cursed Lu in his heart all the way. When he was almost home, he heard his mother Meng's shouting and his elder sister-in-law Liu's crying from a distance.
Mrs. Meng can now walk around. Doctor Yang from Pu Ren Tang is really good at treating injuries. She is getting better day by day. Old Ding has started a grain business with his brothers-in-law and treats Mrs. Meng the same as before. So Mrs. Meng feels that she is well again and her mood is getting better day by day.
Liu had gotten up early and made her some porridge. She chatted with Gao in the kitchen, joking about how the second son had gone to fetch Fang and failed, and the fifth son had also never returned. The two of them gloated over their misfortunes in the kitchen for a while. When she remembered to bring the porridge to Meng, it was still steaming hot, the bowl still a little too hot to touch, so she placed it on a tray and handed it to her.
As a result, after taking a bite, Meng almost wanted to throw the bowl on her.
But I couldn't bear to do that.
Although it is a bowl of clear porridge so clear that you can see your reflection in it, and is not much different from rice soup, it is a nutritious product.
No matter what kind of porridge Meng drank, she had to drink it until it was still slightly hot in her mouth. The bowl of porridge brought by Liu was no longer hot in her mouth, even though she drank it in a few gulps. However, after drinking it, she started to beat and scold Liu, and even pricked her several times with a pin.
Liu was in so much pain that she cried and called for the eldest brother. The eldest brother and his uncle went to Zhuling County on the boat. Even if he didn't go, he would never stand up to protect her at home.
She just shouted in vain.
Her daughter Ding Zhu and three sons were standing in the yard, but no one dared to stand up and speak for her or plead for mercy.
Because they all knew Meng's temper, the more she begged, the harder she would beat him.
Liu wasn't like Fang, who would manipulate the second child, nor was she like Gao, who would play nice. It would have been fine if she wasn't smart, but she was also greedy and self-righteous. In fact, since the loss of Jian, the nemesis who did the housework, she, as the eldest daughter-in-law, had shouldered far more household chores than Fang and Gao, yet she hadn't earned a single cent from her in-laws.
When Lao Wu heard the crying and cursing coming from the main courtyard, he had no desire to come over to take a look. He went back to his room, bolted the door, and fell asleep on the bed.
Less than half an hour after he had slept, a horse-drawn convoy arrived at Dingjia Village. All of them were carts pulled by two horses, and the cargo on the carts was tightly covered with coarse cloth soaked in tung oil. A dozen men wearing conical hats and riding tall horses were protecting the convoy.
Leading the group was a fair-skinned old man named Wei Dong, the chief eunuch in the Crown Prince's palace, a figure comparable to Feng Qingzi. The Crown Prince's dispatch of him showed how much he valued hybrid grain.
Before the Great Yan Kingdom, there were five countries in the Central Plains in this time and space. Before the five countries, there were eleven countries. It was the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom who unified the Central Plains again.
The fact that Emperor Yongping was able to conquer the other four kingdoms and ascend the throne was closely related to the strong economic strength of the prince's maternal grandfather's family, in addition to his many counselors and capable generals.
The prince's grandfather, the father of the current queen, was a super-rich man. He was the only one who opened pawnshops in all states and counties in the five countries before, and they were called "Ding Brand".
"Ding Zi Hao" was also the only pawnshop that could exchange banknotes from various countries during the Five Kingdoms period.
After Emperor Yongping ascended the throne and gained control of the country, he was no longer interested in making his first wife (the Crown Prince's mother) his empress. He preferred his childhood sweetheart, Consort Liang, and thus made Prince Yong's mother his empress. However, the Empress's reputation for virtue suddenly rose among the people, and the Crown Prince's maternal grandfather was still alive, so he was ultimately forced to enthrone the Crown Prince's mother.
But as time passed, Emperor Yongping's preference for Concubine Liang and her son not only did not diminish, but became stronger, which also made Prince Yong's hands reach further and further.
