Chapter 211 Seriously (one more)
Liu Lizheng, a big man with a bun face in Yushan Village, is also a failed scholar.

Usually in charge of chores in the village, and also taught a few students.

When Mrs. Zhong came to Liu Lizheng's house early in the morning, the courtyard door was already open.

On the west side of the courtyard, there is a large pavilion with transparent surroundings. Of course, the pavilion is not as gorgeous as the people in the city, it is just a simple wooden pavilion with varnish.

It is a pavilion when it is hot in summer, and it is a simple house when it is cold and decorated with wooden boards in winter.

Inside the pavilion, sat seven or eight boys of different ages.

He was shaking his head and reading a book.

Wake up really early, are hardworking children.

Among the children, the youngest one was about five or six years old, and probably didn't get enough sleep, and was yawning while reading.

Zhong Shi shook his head and sighed inwardly.

Her Chunbao will be eight years old by the end of the year, but she hasn't attended a day of school.

She wanted him to come to school, but there was not enough money.

The house, the money for food, the expenses of the family, everything needs money, how can there be enough money for Chunbao to study?

Chun Ya has saved some money in her hand.

Forget it, how can she use her daughter's money?

The daughter also has to save the dowry.

A woman without a dowry cannot marry.

Zhong sighed again, went to the children, and asked a child sitting on the farthest side, "Ask my little brother, where is Liu Lizheng?"

"I'll help you out." The child was tired of reciting books. He was so happy that he had an errand to do. He immediately dropped the book and ran to the backyard.

The other children glanced at Mrs. Zhong, and then continued to recite the book.

Not long after, Liu Lizheng came.

Zhong Shi hurried over, "I'm sorry, Li Zheng, I was looking for you this early in the morning."

Liu Lizheng asked doubtfully, "Aren't you Luo Fucai's wife? What's the matter? This early in the morning?"

Zhong looked into the pavilion, and the children were all looking at her.

She nodded towards Liu Lizheng, "Speak this way."

Liu Lizheng understood, and yelled at the children, "Go and recite, what you learned yesterday, will be randomly checked today, if you don't know how to recite it, you won't be allowed to eat at noon, and you will be slapped ten times."

They are all a group of little kids, it is the time when they love to eat, who can stand the hunger?Who is not afraid to fight?

They all memorized the books honestly, not daring to peek at them again.

Liu Lizheng walked a few steps outside and asked, "It's from Luo Fucai's family, please tell me quickly."

"I want to reconcile, please ask Lizheng to help me write the paper and leave." Zhong bit her lip and said.

My heart was heavy, and I didn't even have the strength to sigh.

Liu Lizheng was surprised, "Heli? What did you say? Why did you mention this suddenly? Think again."

Zhong sighed silently, and said, "It's not a sudden incident, it's something I've thought about long ago. Lizheng also knows about my family's affairs. It's really that person..."

Liu Lizheng raised his eyebrows, "Luo Fucai, hey..." He didn't know what to say.

Anyway, he doesn't like it.

I studied at his house back then, and I looked very smart when I was a child, how did I become like this when I grew up?

Mrs. Zhong shook her head, "I don't want to live with him. He never raised a family anyway. Our house is gone, but he just gambles blindly. No matter whether the children live or die, I can't live with him anymore."

As Zhong spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he sobbed softly.

Liu Lizheng squeezed the tip of his beard and let out a long sigh, "I also know about your family's situation, Luo Fucai..."

He shook his head, there was almost no need to say anything.

Fortunately, it wasn't his son, otherwise, he would die of anger.

"Think about it again?" Liu Lizheng said, "The child is so old, and you are not young..."

Let's persuade her first, if Zhong Shi regrets it, blame him for not persuading her.

"I don't want to, I've thought about it for a long time." Zhong bit her lips and said, "Not only does he care about our mother and child, but he also... wants to sell his daughter..."

It's not that she wants to sell it, but she has already sold it once, and she can't say it out, because she wants to preserve her daughter's reputation.

"What? He's a bastard!" Liu Lizheng couldn't listen anymore, "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's been a while, and of course Chunya didn't agree, so he beat Chunya." When Zhong thought about her daughter being sold to the county town, her hands in her sleeves trembled involuntarily.

"It's really outrageous." Liu Lizheng snorted coldly, and said again, "Master Zhong, isn't there a patriarch in his Luo clan? Have you consulted the patriarch about his matter?"

All the big clans in the village have patriarchs.

The affairs of each family are mediated by the patriarch, and if the patriarch can't control it, he will find Lizheng here.

The patriarch of the Luo family lives in Jinshan Village, and his place is Yushan Village.

Zhong shook her head, "The patriarch knew about my family's affairs long ago, so he couldn't control him. If the patriarch could control him, how could I find Lizheng here?"

As Zhong talked, she shed tears.

Liu Lizheng shook his head, "Okay, I'll write for you."

This Mrs. Zhong was dressed in rags, but Luo Fucai usually dressed neatly like an outsider from the city.

It really doesn't look like a couple.

Liu Lizheng entered the small study next to the pavilion, walked to his desk and sat down, thought for a while, and started to write.

Zhong waited on the spot.

Thinking that I have been married to Luo Fucai for 16 years, and I haven't enjoyed a day of blessings, I feel extremely wronged.

The tears just kept flowing.

Fearing that people would laugh at her, she stood facing the wall, raised her sleeves and kept wiping her tears.

Liu Lizheng followed what Zhong said, and wrote a draft first, and then came to hand it to Zhong to read.

Zhong can barely recognize a few words.

She nodded, "That's it." She said again, "I have to borrow your family's red ink pad to make a fingerprint."

She signed her fingerprints first, then Luo Fucai, and then the witness Liu Lizheng, and the grandpa of the clan pressed her fingerprints, and it was considered divorced.

Liu Lizheng nodded, "Come here." He walked back to the small study.

He Li got three copies of the book, this one is no problem, he still needs to write two copies.

Liu Lizheng wrote two more copies.

Mrs. Zhong pressed all her fingerprints and held them together in her hand.

She had to get Luo Fucai to press her fingerprints before the matter was over.

"It's time to work." Zhong sighed, and handed the reward money to Liu Lizheng.

Liu Lizheng waved his hand, "Forget it, let's do a little favor."

Mrs. Zhong gave it anyway, Liu Lizheng was speaking politely, and he relied on this to make money.

After giving the money, he turned and left.

Liu Lizheng was carrying a string of money, shaking his head, muttering, "Really, this Zhong family is so good, Luo Fucai doesn't care about it, anyway, I don't know who is lucky to get it, she is not old yet."

……

When Zhong returned to the melon shed, Chun Ya and Chun Bao had already woken up.

The siblings had already washed and washed, and they were sitting in rows at the door of the melon shed, waiting for Mrs. Zhong.

Seeing the two children, Zhong's heart felt sore, she reconciled and left, and she didn't know if Luo Fucai would let her take the children away.

First of all, Chunya must be taken away, as for Chunbao...

Zhong Shi stepped forward and held Chun Bao in his arms.

She suddenly began to cry, crying until Chunya Chunbao was dazed and panicked.

"Mother..." Chun Ya was older, looking at Zhong nervously, "What happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay, have you eaten yet?" Zhong wiped away tears, lowered her head and asked, not daring to look at her daughter.

"Let's eat together when mother comes back."

"Okay, let's eat together." Zhong took a breath, and let's go and see, life is going to pass, isn't it?
……

When Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng came to the tavern, it was already midnight.

Today is not a market, and there are almost no people on the street.

The two made breakfast together in a leisurely manner, and sat at a table by the window in the tavern, chatting while eating.

A plate of fried bean curd, a plate of green beans fried shrimp, then beef jerky, fried fish.

The staple food is two bowls of porridge.

Now that they have money in their pockets, they no longer eat porridge with wild vegetables.

Li Jiaoniang looked at Qingdou and thought of Mrs. Zhong. This green bean was sent by Mrs. Zhong.

The bean sprouts in her and Luo Cheng's vegetable field are only one foot high, and the flowers haven't bloomed yet, so it will take a month and a half at the earliest to eat beans.

"Brother Luo Cheng, last night, Sixth Aunt said she wanted to make up with Sixth Uncle. Do you think they will really make up?" Li Jiaoniang said.

She hoped that Zhong and Li would reconcile.

At this time, the status of women was still very high. Unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, women lived in dire straits.

At this time, women can easily remarry after divorce.

No one dislikes second marriage and third marriage.

After Lu You made his wife and divorced, he even found a branch of the royal family and remarried.

It is not uncommon for small households to marry second-married daughters.

Because the population was small at this time, both the government and the people were encouraging births.As long as she is a woman of the right age, she will not have to worry about finding her husband's family.

As for Zhong, he was only in his early thirties.
