Chapter 167: A Turbulence (Part 2)
Niu quickly said, "Don't worry, there's food at home."
"I've been buying big bones to make soup lately, and it tastes much better than before. I made these especially for you."
“Don’t be disgusted by homemade things.”
"Thanks to Zhiluo, otherwise, the spring plowing would have been affected. Now we have crops planted in our fields, and nothing is delayed. I am still working in your fields and can get paid every day. I don't know how to thank you so much..."
Mrs. Niu said a lot of things and insisted on keeping the things.
Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Niu pushed each other for a long time.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that everyone in the village was like this. They would take a long time to refuse something when given to them.
The villagers are warm and sincere, and they give things with sincerity.
If everyone doesn't want the things, they really don't want them. They feel that everyone's conditions are not very good, and they would feel bad if they accepted the things.
In the end, the things were left behind.
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it, went into the house and got a small bowl of chili meat sauce for Niu.
We also cannot let people go back empty-handed.
Mrs. Niu refused to take it, but Jiang Zhiluo insisted stubbornly, so Mrs. Niu had no choice but to take it and expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
When Niu left, Mrs. Cui saw her off to the door, and the two of them chatted for a long time at the door.
"Sister Cui, I was really not a good talker before. I apologize to you."
"Look at what you said. We used to be neighbors. You were always willing to help me with anything I needed. Why would you bother with these things?"
"Sister Cui, I think you are very good. Your daughter Zhiluo is also capable. You will enjoy happiness in the future."
"That's right, my Zhiluo is so smart and capable..." Balabala said a lot of compliments.
Jiang Zhiluo was listening in the yard, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly.
Niu said enthusiastically, "You don't have to worry about the work on your family's fields. I heard from Shanmao's father that everyone was very diligent and serious when farming, and no one was lazy. To be honest, we are all grateful to your family for giving us this work."
Cui La denied being modest and said, "We should thank the villagers for helping with the work."
Niu said, "You can't say that. You paid us wages, and after the spring plowing and planting, we don't have much to do. We are happy and grateful to you for doing this kind of work and getting paid every day..."
After talking for a while, Niu said, "By the way, Sister Cui, are the bricks in your yard always piled up and not being used?"
"There's a little left over from building the house. I'll see if I can build something in the yard that can use it."
In this way they chatted a lot and talked about the village's family affairs for a while.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that the villagers didn't have many entertainment activities. There was no internet TV here, so everyone liked to chat when they had nothing to do.
But when she looked at the bricks in the corner, her expression changed.
Those are the few bricks left over from building the house.
Suddenly Jiang Zhiluo had an idea. She said excitedly, "Yes, we can build a bread oven against the wall in the yard."
Why didn't she think of that?
I really want to thank Mr. Niu for casually chatting about these bricks just now.
Although there was no cement in this era, people were used to using mixed mud as an adhesive when building houses.
So just get some yellow mud and grass to make a mixture of mud and use it as a glue between the bricks.
There is some at the foot of Huangni Mountain, she can go and get some.
Jiang Zhiluo was a little excited and wanted to get some yellow mud right away.
But thinking that Jian Yunyin might come soon, he held back.
However, even if the bread oven is ready, it will take about three days before it can be used to bake bread.
Sure enough, after a while, Jian Yunyin came.
When Jian Yunyin arrived in the morning, the door was closed and she didn't see what was inside.
This time I entered the house and saw what it looked like inside. I felt that although the yard did not have rockery or ponds, it was clean and spacious, and there was a piece of cultivated land next to it.
She couldn't even name some of the vegetables that sprouted.
But it looks good.
She was also happy for Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo took her to the reception room to talk.
Jian Yunyin's female coachman and female guard drove the carriage to the yard to rest.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "There are many rooms in the house now, you can ask your guards to go to the side room to rest."
Jian Yunyin shook her head and said, "I told her, she's not used to it."
"Ever since my eldest brother's finger was broken, he also gave me a new guard after he came back."
"My eldest brother doesn't trust ordinary drivers anymore."
Jiang Zhiluo thought of the dream and said with a change of expression, "Is your brother's hand not an accident?"
When Jian Yunyin thought of her elder brother, her face turned pale and she looked very worried.
"I'm not sure either. My eldest brother has been very silent since he woke up."
"Brother sent someone to investigate this matter, but it rained heavily that day and all the clues were cut off."
"My eldest brother had his suspicions, but he had two classmates in the car at the time. They were also injured, but not as seriously as my eldest brother."
"What's even more outrageous is that the Dong family took advantage of my eldest brother's serious injuries and hurriedly broke off the engagement."
"My mother almost fainted from anger."
"It was originally agreed that my eldest brother and Miss Dong would get married after the provincial examination. It was the Dong family who took the initiative to propose it back then."
Perhaps only in front of Jiang Zhiluo can Jian Yunyin speak her mind.
And strangely enough, when she was here with Jiang Zhiluo, staying in the country house, she actually felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.
When Jiang Zhiluo heard these words, a frost appeared in her eyes.
I heard people gossiping in town about Jian Yunci before.
"Is your brother okay?"
I still remember Jian Yunci when I saw him at the gate of the yamen. There was an indelible sadness between his eyebrows.
Jian Yunyin shook her head and said, "It seems that everything is fine, but we know that my eldest brother has suppressed everything in his heart. He used to be very cheerful, but now he is very silent and doesn't say a word all day."
Jiang Zhiluo asked, "What about the two classmates who went to the provincial government with him?"
"They were also injured and went back to recuperate."
"Where's the driver?"
Jian Yunyin said, "That driver Ding is an elder in our Jian family. He blames himself for what happened to my brother, but he has been with my father for so many years, so my father still has some feelings for him and only gave him a light punishment."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. Is his last name really Ding?
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Tell me more about your elder brother, those two classmates, and the driver Ding. Maybe there are some clues."
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't tell Jian Yunyin about her dream, so she could only try to remind her through the details.
Jian Yunyin said, "I only heard some of what my eldest brother and mother said, and I know a little about them. One of my eldest brother's two classmates is He Muqiang, and the other is Wang Ping."
"Both of them passed the imperial examination and performed well in the academy, so they asked my eldest brother to go to the provincial government with him this time..."
"It was just raining heavily on the road, the carriage was stalling, and Uncle Ding couldn't hold it. My eldest brother fell off, He Muqiang fell on my brother, and Wang Ping fell on the other side and fainted. Some blood came out of his head..."
Jiang Zhiluo's heart was in turmoil. Some of the scenes that Jian Yunyin described were the same as those in her dreams.
She saw it more clearly in her dream. Jiang Zhiluo said seriously, "I think there's something wrong with He Muqiang and your driver Ding."
