Chapter 51: A Liu is a capable person
Feng Ying: “…”
Well, let them do that.
Li Wulang: Since it is so dangerous, I want to protect A Niang and A Jian and go with A Niang and A Jian.
Li Silang: What? If my grandmother is going to meet with a bloody disaster, I absolutely cannot let her take the risk.
"Okay." Feng Ying said with an aggrieved but reasonable look: "My dear, I am doing this for you. You should know that the old lady was a little too harsh on me. If I hadn't been able to do it myself, she would have thrown me out of the house. Although it is said that a daughter-in-law should respect her mother-in-law, a mother-in-law can't be too harsh."
Li Zhengchun wanted to scold Feng Ying, but Feng Ying had already given up his seat.
"You... Ah Ying, why have you changed so much recently?"
It caught him a bit off guard.
Feng Ying said: "It's all because of you."
After saying that, he snorted.
Li Zhengchun thought about it and decided, forget it, since the Feng family has already gotten on the right track, there’s no need to create unnecessary trouble.
"Thank you for your help." See, he even wants to thank her.
Li Silang thought that although my mother had abandoned me and was a little mean, she was still very filial to my grandmother on weekdays.
She must not know about the bloody disaster, otherwise she would not agree to let her grandmother move houses.
He reflected on whether he had been too mean to his mother in the past, and felt a little anxious.
"Aye, this place may not be good. At worst, I won't live here anymore. I'll go and accompany my grandmother. It's better not to let her move to another house..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhengchun slapped him hard in the face.
"You are such an ungrateful bastard. Grandmother is so kind to you on weekdays, but now she is unwilling to give you a good house. Your mother has agreed to it, so what does this house have to do with you? Why don't you agree?"
Li Silang knew that his father was filial, but he was also filial. This was the first time he was beaten because of his filial piety.
And it was just such a small matter, and yet he beat him.
He looked at Li Zhengchun in disbelief.
"Silang!" Feng Ying looked at his son's face which suddenly turned red and swollen. His eyes turned red with anxiety and he raised his hand to slap Li Zhengchun back.
"You can hit me, but you can't hit my child. Shilang is my flesh and blood. As a mother, I have never hit him. Why do you hit him?"
"Mother..." Since Silang had never been beaten before, he certainly didn't know that Feng Ying would fight with a man to protect him.
Men are the sky to women, and her mother actually hit the sky. Isn’t she afraid of being punished?
Silang stared at Feng Ying blankly.
And he was really confused. His father, who told him every day that his mother was a bad person, beat him for a trivial matter.
Instead, I feel that I don't like my mother standing up for me.
What is wrong with this world?
Could it be that what Ah Jian said was true, that the one who loved me the most was my mother, and they were just using me?
Li Zhengchun stared at Feng Ying with eyes wide open: "How dare you?"
Feng Ying thought it wasn’t the first time anyway.
She really didn't dare to do it before, but now she is a little more adept at it.
But the other party is a man after all, and Feng Ying is also afraid that Li Zhengchun will take action and she will not be able to defeat him.
She said, "I've given it to you. What else do you want?"
"Shiro, Goro, let's go."
"But..." Silang hesitated, and Wulang pushed him away in frustration: "Let's go."
You've already been beaten, why do you still want to put your warm face in front of a cold butt?
After all, Silang was young and full of resentment, so he did not remind Li Zhengchun and followed Wulang out.
Seeing that they were moving, Yunniang and the other two hurriedly asked, "What about the prepared meals?"
They were interrupted by Li Zhengchun. They didn't get the money and hadn't left yet.
Feng Ying said: "We are going to move to the mask room at the back. Please help us send it there."
Mrs. Zhuang also took out her money and gave it to the old man. When she gave it to him, she saw Yunniang staring at her hand. She smiled and said, "Isn't this money enough? Do you need anything else?"
"No, no, that's enough, it's already more than enough." Yunniang blushed and lowered her head.
Feng Ying ordered early, so their food arrived first.
Yunniang’s cooking skills are indeed superb, especially the roasted meat is very tender and not tough, which is better than the one cooked by Li’s chef, which is very rare.
Feng Ying couldn't help but praise Yunniang.
"What a good wife! I don't know who is so lucky to marry such a pretty girl who is good at cooking."
Ah Liu said: "The person who married him may not think so. Yunniang is cursed and the man died."
Feng Ying was surprised: "Ah? So unfortunate?"
Li Jidao looked at Ah Liu curiously: [What a capable person! After such a long time, he even found out about the person's background.]
Feng Ying nodded: Yes, yes, she was so focused on being surprised that she forgot about Liu's abilities.
Aren't we all eating? Why can she eat without delay and still be able to ask questions?
Li Wulang: This is a capable person. Is she the niece that Ah Jian mentioned before? Whose niece is she? The King of Luoyang? Then why is she with my mother?
Li Silang: I wonder if Liu can find out what is going to happen tonight.
Although he was beaten by his father, he was still worried about his grandmother.
Feng Ying became interested and asked Liu, "How did you know that?"
"I just went outside for a walk. I know who you want to know."
[This is really awesome, and he is a capable person. ]
Feng Ying and his two sons nodded secretly.
Ah Liu listed all the details: "Yunniang is really unlucky. She is only 22 years old this year. She came here when she was 10 years old. There was a flood in her hometown. Her parents and neighbors all died. She was left alone and was adopted by a small family nearby."
"There were three brothers in that family. The eldest made a living in Chang'an City. When she grew up, she married the third brother. But the third brother drowned while fishing in the river. Originally, her in-laws didn't chase her away, but her second brother and his wife's family suddenly died."
"Dead suddenly?"
"Yes, he died of unknown causes. The coroner couldn't tell. He died on the kang, neatly laid out."
"Her parents-in-law fell to their deaths while chopping wood in the mountains. Except for the eldest son in Chang'an, all the members of their family were gone. They all died."
"I heard that because of her, the number of deaths in their village was higher than before, so she was driven out by the villagers."
"Later, she worked as a cook for a wealthy family in town. After working for half a year, the head of the family died at the age of 50. After that, no one dared to hire her."
"She was able to come here because the old couple of the Xu family were kind-hearted. Some people in their village were unwilling to do corvée labor. The old couple knew that Yunniang's life was difficult, so they approached her and asked her to do the corvée labor. They would give her some compensation."
Serving labor at the post station usually takes turns, my family this year, your family next year.
The postmaster was a clerk, and all clerks were forced laborers. The court did not pay them. However, how could such a lucrative position as the postmaster be rotated? They were all powerful local figures who had been "performing forced labor" all year round, and others had to give them some compensation[1].
