Chapter 258: Driving off the ox cart
The old lady looked at Mother Li again and asked, "Has the Wang family not returned yet?"
The one from the Wang family is Mother Wang.
"To answer the old lady, not yet," Mother Li replied.
Then, he looked at the old lady, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
But my mind kept thinking about the words I just heard.
Hesitating whether to remind the old lady.
There's nothing I can do. It would be fine if no one reminded me.
Now that someone has told her about it, she also feels that what happened today is too evil.
The young master suddenly fainted.
The old lady broke her leg when she stepped over the threshold.
The third young lady had a fever and couldn't even get out of bed.
However, if these words were spoken out, it would be fine if the old lady believed them.
If the old lady doesn't believe it, wouldn't that make her dislike you?
Mother Li hesitated and couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
The old lady was so worried about her grandson that she didn't notice Mother Li's expression.
Later, Ziyun came back and answered cautiously, "Madam, the young master hasn't woken up yet. I have already instructed the maid in the young master's room to report to you as soon as he wakes up."
The old lady had no choice but to nod and close her eyes.
Unfortunately, she couldn't fall asleep even with her eyes closed, as the pain in her legs kept tormenting her.
"Where is the third young lady?" the old lady asked with her eyes closed.
My mother-in-law is so sick, but as a daughter-in-law, I don’t even want to see her.
Even during the confinement period, you shouldn't be like this.
"Madam, the Third Young Madam is also ill." Ziyun replied in a low voice: "I just ran into Sister Bizhu in the Third Young Madam's room. Sister Bizhu said that the Third Young Madam has a high fever and has been drowsy and has not woken up..."
Old lady, “…”
Her heart sank, and the overwhelming feeling of powerlessness made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Her grandson is like this, her daughter-in-law is like this, and she herself is like this...
What sins did their Duke's Mansion commit to deserve such retribution?
Now I just hope to bring happiness to my grandson as soon as possible.
I hope that the little girl from the Su family can bring good luck to my family.
May my grandson be in good health.
The old lady was looking forward to it and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
At this time, Mother Wang and others were still trekking on their way back to the county town.
There was no way, the axle could not be repaired, so I had to walk back on foot.
It’s okay for others, at least they have shoes on their feet.
Mother Zhang has a hard time.
One of her shoes fell off when she was escaping into the carriage, and now she only had one shoe on her foot.
I didn't walk far before my feet were worn out.
Mother Zhang was limping, feeling so angry that she had no place to vent.
"Chun Tao, take off your shoes!" Mother Zhang looked at a maid and ordered.
Chun Tao said reluctantly, "Mother Zhang, my feet are small. You saw it just now. You can't wear my shoes."
Mother Zhang angrily scolded, "What do you care if I wear this or not? I told you to take it off, so I took it off. What are you planning, you little bitch? Don't you think I know? You want to make fun of me, but don't you realize who you are?"
Mother Zhang scolded more and more excitedly, wishing she could vent all her anger on Chuntao.
Chuntao is just a third-rate maid, how could she dare to challenge Mother Zhang?
Tears of grievance fell down "pat".
Mother Wang frowned and looked at Mother Zhang without saying anything.
"Ox cart! There's an ox cart!" Chuncao pointed behind and exclaimed in surprise.
Sure enough, an ox cart carrying people slowly came from the distance.
On the road from Fengwei Town to the county seat, ox carts carrying people occasionally pass by.
It costs five taels of silver per person to take a ride from Fengwei Town to the county seat.
For an ordinary farmer, ten coins for a round trip is an expensive fare.
But for the servants of the Duke's Mansion, it was nothing.
Mother Wang's eyes lit up, and she said to Mother Zhang, who was still forcing Chuntao to take off her shoes, "Okay, let's all go back in the ox cart."
"You're lucky, little bitch!" Mother Zhang scolded Chuntao again.
There were already several people on the ox cart, but after a bit of squeezing, Mother Wang and the others still managed to get on.
"Sister, what happened to you? Did you meet some bad guys?" An old woman looked at Mother Wang and asked.
As the old woman asked the question, everyone on the ox cart looked over curiously.
The images of Mother Wang and others were really too miserable.
Of course, Mother Wang would not tell the truth.
After all, being chased and beaten out of the village is really embarrassing.
"We ran into some ruffians, and the carriage broke down..." Mother Wang said ambiguously.
"We have always had peace here. How dare someone bully others in broad daylight?" said the old man driving the ox cart.
He had been driving a bullock cart for several years, taking this road every day, and had never encountered any bad people.
Mother Wang didn't know how to answer.
Mother Zhang rubbed her feet and said angrily, "Why can't you bully people in broad daylight? A bunch of country bumpkins, they don't know their place! When I get back, I'll bring people to deal with them..."
The more Zhang's mother spoke, the angrier she became, and the louder her voice became.
She had never suffered such humiliation or experienced such a frustrating thing in her life.
So, I let out all the anger in my heart.
"...How dare you provoke our Duke of Yingguo and drive us out? Don't you even consider your own worth? You're just a small village head. The fact that our Duke of Yingguo took a liking to her and took her in as a concubine is a blessing she earned in her past life..."
"Wait, sister-in-law, are you talking about Lord Fude of Daliushu Village?"
The old man driving the cart interrupted Mother Zhang in surprise.
There is only one village chief in the entire Fengqi County!
Mother Zhang glanced at the old man and said with disdain: "It's that little girl! What is the Lord of Fude Village? If she offends our Duke's Mansion, her fortune will turn into misfortune..."
The old man driving the cart interrupted Mother Zhang again with a look of surprise on his face before she could finish her words.
"So, is it possible that you and the Village Master of Ford...had a feud? Were you kicked out?"
As the old man spoke, the looks of the people on the ox cart as they looked at Mother Zhang and the others changed.
Mother Zhang was still unaware of this, and after hearing what the old man said, she became even angrier.
"Her family doesn't know what's good for them now. When their daughter enters our Duke's Mansion..."
"Sister-in-law, please stop talking and get out of the car!"
The old man driving the cart interrupted Mother Zhang for the third time.
And, the ox cart stopped.
Mother Zhang, “…”
"No, why are you kicking us out?" Mother Zhang shouted angrily, "We won't be short of your money!"
"If I don't let you get off, I'm afraid my ox cart will break down on the road." The old man said decisively: "You'd better get off the car quickly. I don't want your money..."
The old man driving the cart looked like he was sending away the god of plague.
The other people on the ox cart also tried to keep their distance and tried to drive them away.
"Hurry up and go... Don't drag us into trouble..."
"That's right... Why offend anyone else when you can dare to offend the Village Master of Fude..."
"Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself? No wonder the carriage broke down on the road..."
"you do not say……"
Mother Wang and her two maids were all kicked out of the car in a daze.
Mother Zhang refused to get down, but someone pushed her and she fell off the ox cart.
"Ouch! Who pushed me? I'm the wet nurse of the Third Young Lady of the Duke of Ying's Mansion!"
Mother Zhang screamed in pain, and did not forget to show off her identity to scare people.
Unfortunately, no one bought her account.
In their view, what is the Duke of England? It is too far away from them.
What they knew was the village chief Fude.
"What's wrong with pushing you? With what you just said, you're definitely going to get into big trouble!"
"That's right! If I don't push you down, are we waiting for you to get us into trouble?"
"If you've offended Lord Fude, even if you're the mother of that young mistress, it won't do any good..."
“…”
Mother Zhang was so angry that she fell backwards.
Mother Wang smiled and looked at the old man driving the cart, asking, "Big brother, can you tell me why we can't offend the Village Master of Fude?"
Before the old man could say anything, a middle-aged man on the ox cart said, "You don't know this, right? Let's talk about what happened recently. Originally, there was a private school called Li Family School in Fengwei Town. The nephew of the village chief was studying there, but then the Li family's children bullied the nephew..."
The middle-aged man spitted heavily as he recounted what had happened in the Li family's private school.
Occasionally, there would be other people on the ox carts rushing to get more supplies.
Never underestimate the speed at which entertainment gossip spreads.
In a short period of time, everything that happened in the Li family's private school was almost regarded as a storybook.
Finally, the middle-aged man said with emotion: "Back then, this Li family private school was also a well-known private school with a radius of dozens of miles. Now the gate is surrounded by people, and they all went there to withdraw after hearing the news..."
