Wuwu Jianghu

Chapter 454 451. Donkey Cart
Curly hair tied with white rags,

I touched the sack with my hand and squeezed out the rice from the corner. I knew it was the farmers who went to the city to sell it.
Feng Ziyue hurriedly asked, old man, why are you going to the city?

The old lady said, we live in the southeastern part of the city. The old man and my grandson went out of the city to see a doctor next door to Dashan.
Stop by to buy some food and come back.
The old lady asked, young man, where are you going?

Feng Ziyue replied, I passed by here, I am going to Sanquepai to find a relative of mine, where he opened a restaurant, and I am going to work,

The old lady said, there is still a long distance from the main rudder, why don't you take the main road and come here to go around far away?
Feng Ziyue replied, I lost my way while walking,
The old man chuckled and said, I sometimes get lost too, the San Que faction is too big,
Everyone chatted about the short distance, and the donkey galloped all the way to the vicinity of the small town,
The sky suddenly changed with lightning and thunder, and it began to rain heavily. After entering the city, the old man hurriedly drove home.

Feng Ziyue jumped off the donkey cart, took out some silver taels, handed the old man a few words of courtesy, and left.

After walking a few steps, I heard a bang. Looking back, it was raining and the road was slippery. The donkey cart was stuck in the ditch of the muddy road.

The old man and the old lady push the cart hard,
The child cried loudly,

Feng Ziyue ran back quickly to help push the cart. After a lot of effort, he pushed the donkey cart out of the muddy ditch.
The old lady had bad legs and fell to the ground, Feng Ziyue hurriedly carried her into the donkey cart,
The old man led the donkey forward slowly, and he pushed the cart behind, and came to the old man's house.

Feng Ziyue was about to leave, but the elders stopped him and said that he was drenched in heavy rain, so he hurried to sit at home and rest for a while,
Several people walked quickly to the courtyard house, and the old man took him to the men's bathhouse and took a hot shower. The clothes were washed and hung by the stove, and they dried in a short while.
After taking a bath to relieve fatigue, I took a bowl of ginger soup and drank it, and I felt much warmer.

Pushing open the window to see the heavy rain covering the sight, it will not stop for a while,

The old man and the old lady prepared some side dishes and a jug of wine to entertain him, thanking him for helping to push the cart,

In the chat, I learned that

It turns out that this house was passed down by the old man. There are more than 20 rooms in the front and back yards. Now it has been converted into an inn.
Business is pretty good,

The old man has two sons, and the whole family relies on the inn for a living.

After Feng Ziyue listened, he squinted at the elders, they didn't move their chopsticks to eat, and they didn't move either.

The old man and the old lady greeted him warmly, and you are welcome to eat and drink more. Seeing that they were eating tightly, my stomach growled, and I shook my cheeks to pad my big molars.

After the meal, the three of them drank tea and chatted.

Feng Ziyue asked, old man, your family's conditions are good, why do you travel in a donkey cart, don't you have a carriage?
After hearing this, the second elder sighed and shook his head.
Feng Ziyue is puzzled to ask, old people, do you have any difficulties?He poked out his head and handed them the silver taels, but the two elders had nowhere to go,
The old man said, my two sons are lazy and like to gamble.
There used to be several good horses in the family, all of which were lost by the two of them in gambling. There are also two horses, which are convenient for them to travel by themselves.
No way, my wife and I bought a donkey-drawn cart. If we bought a horse, it would be sold by our son to gamble within a day.

Feng Ziyue was very angry after hearing this, and wished to educate them well, and then thought, let him do other people's housework,

It's raining all the time,

It's getting late so I have to stay,

It happened that the old man’s house was an inn, and he stayed in the inn and found a room for Yinliang, which was very close to the courtyard wall and had an early rest.

The heavy rain didn't stop until noon the next day, Feng Ziyue slept soundly, pushed the door to the courtyard,

I saw a lot of customers coming in and out of the store, and there were five or six staff busy in and out. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and the planning was not bad. There were rockery gardens, small bridges and fish ponds.
There are two courtyards at the front and back,

Feng Ziyue came to the dining hall to have a simple meal, dressed neatly and prepared to bid farewell to the second elder,
Come out from the dining hall and walk through the rockery,
I heard scolding,
Following the sound, I approached a separate courtyard, the door was half closed, and I heard swearing and crying inside,
Feng Ziyue didn't intend to go in, so he gently pushed open the gate and approached the courtyard, and saw a large wooden shed at the gate,
There are donkeys tied inside, donkey carts parked, and more than a dozen free-range chickens and ducks chirping in the courtyard.

The three voices in the main room came from the backyard,
Feng Ziyue took a few steps, came to the corner of the eaves, and saw four men and women in their 40s, two fat and two thin,
Pushing and shoving the elders,
Feng Ziyue watched and listened to what they were talking about. When he saw two men and two women pointing and talking,
The fat man blew his beard and stared and said, old man, hurry up and take out the hidden silver taels, or I will be rude to you,

The thin and tall woman interjected, "Father and mother, if you save money, if you don't give it to your two sons, who are you going to spend it on?"
Look at how filial our two daughters-in-law are, and never hit you two old things, so you can be content,

The two elders were shivering in the corner of the wall, the old man said in a low voice, son and daughter-in-law, our old couple really don't have any hidden money,
Stop whoring and gambling, if this continues, the property left by our ancestors will soon be gone!
The old man burst into tears after speaking!

The old lady interjected tremblingly and said that family ugliness should not be publicized, and the two sons were eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking outside.
You two daughters-in-law, you bring a lot of dubious men into your home every day, how decent are you?

Before the old lady finished speaking, she was slapped several times by the middle-aged woman in red clothes.

The old lady's nose and mouth were bleeding from the beating, and she leaned against the wall and fell to the ground.

Seeing the head yelling what are you going to do with the beast, the woman in red didn't say anything, and kicked the old man five feet in the air,

The two elders piled up in the corner,

The two sons and another daughter-in-law laughed and said, "Okay, good fight, let's practice our hands too, punch and kick,
Started a body search and snatched away only a little silver and a bracelet from the old man.
The four of them ran into the house cursing, rummaged through boxes, and moved valuables out of the door to leave.

The second elder was so frightened that he dared not speak out, hugged his head and cried loudly.
Feng Ziyue saw it clearly, quietly closed the door, stood at the door angrily and waited,
The old man's son and his daughter-in-law, carrying things to the gate, saw a person standing at the gate, they looked at each other in a daze,

The tall, thin, big-headed man opened his mouth and cursed, what the hell, get the hell out of here,

Feng Ziyue didn't move or speak,

The two women said, hey, you are fucking deaf or blind, didn't you hear me and told you to go away?
The big fat man jumped up, picked up a porcelain bottle in his hand, and smashed it hard on his head,

Feng Ziyue suppressed his anger and said cheerfully, dodged and shouted, you guys went over and knelt down to apologize to the old man,
Said to be a down-to-earth person in the future,
