reborn idle wife

Chapter 17
Mrs. Zheng is still quibbling: "Miss didn't know at first, madam said it was [-]% at first, but after we arrived here, we found that it wasn't so barren. Later, I wrote to madam to inquire, and madam said as long as It’s fine to be lower than the rich and unkind people, we can figure it out! Forty percent, it’s really too little, and it makes the rich people around look ugly, isn’t it? , is already considered a small number.”

"You're talking nonsense!" Before Madam Zheng finished her sentence, a thin little girl in the crowd suddenly ran out and shouted, and then knelt down: "Master, miss, the Zheng family is all talking nonsense, you must not believe it." The [-]% rent she said is actually far more than [-]%!"

"Who are you?" Dongli looked at this thin little girl who looked as if the wind was about to blow, and waved his hand: "Forget it, you get up and talk, kneeling up and down, I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle it at such a young age." Stay!" But Madam Zheng was not asked to get up too, such a differentiated treatment immediately made some smart people see the eyebrows and began to make their own calculations in their hearts.

"Thank you, miss!" The little girl stood up, "The maidservant's name is Mai Ya, and both parents are tenants in the village. They gave the maidservant to the Zheng family to pay off their debts when they couldn't live on."

Use people to pay off debts?Even Zuo Zhan's brows were tightly frowned. The folks in Qinghe Town are simple and honest, unless it's a casino or some tyrants would use someone to repay the debt. Mai Ya's family is only a tenant, so how could she use her to repay the debt?
"The couple of Zheng's family are black-hearted and rotten beasts!" Although the little girl was thin and dry, she was extremely hot-tempered. There is also a younger brother who is in poor health as young as he is, and the whole family lives by renting the land on the farm. Steward Zheng said that the rent on the farm only needs [-]%. My parents thought they had met a kind master. Xin After working hard for a year, [-]% of the income is used to pay the rent, and the rest is sold for my brother’s medical treatment.”

Mrs. Zheng looked at the little girl with a pale face, her eyes seemed to be eating people, but the Zhou family didn't expect that she would make such a big fuss, she was already stupid, and just listened in a daze.

"But who would have thought that, when it came time to pay the rent, Manager Zheng would say that our family did not have enough rent!" Mai Ya looked at the two with hatred, his lips trembling: "When the Zheng family collected the rent, they made a special The bucket, at first glance, looks like someone else’s house, but inside it is tampered with. A bucket can hold more than another bucket. It is said that it is [-]% rent, but in fact it is not much worse than [-]%. It's a pity that our family's surplus grain has already been sold to my younger brother for medical treatment, and I really can't get it out. Zheng Wanger said that he can't continue to farm the land until the rent is paid, and the parents have no choice but to transfer the slaves to them."

Mo Youran's face turned black when he heard that, this is their family's servant, who bullies the good and promotes the evil and does a lot of evil outside, and even comes out with a hypocritical face to disgust people: "Come on, take care of the Zheng family, when the time comes Naturally, Madam sent them out in person."

When Mrs. Zheng heard that it was Mrs. Xu who sent them down, she didn't deal with them right away. She felt a stone in her heart. She was Mrs. Xu's companion. Even if it was for her own face, Mrs. Xu would not do anything to them.

Guanshi Zheng and his wife were detained, and the other people held their breaths, fearing that they would be punished by the young master and the young lady for being a pawn over the years. They trembled for a long time, but the two masters seemed to have completely forgotten what was going on. I breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, I have so many people, I can't get rid of them all at once, it is enough to get rid of the culprit, there is no need to hurt the bones, isn't it.

Regarding this, Dongli was also very helpless, "Although most of the people are accomplices, it is impossible for us to all go out at once. Besides, there are only a few of us. If they have any bad intentions, how can we stop them?"

Because of this incident that night, a few people didn't have the mind to play any more to have fun with the wine, and they all went to bed early. Dongli slept for a while, and suddenly felt the cold swish around him, and he was a little used to it as a natural thing. Li sighed, opened his eyes, and as expected, Mrs. Liu was floating back and forth faintly, dangling in front of her bed like a swing.

"Are you awake? If you don't wake up, someone will die in Zhuangzi." Liu Shi floated over all of a sudden, staring at Dongli who was still yawning: "Also, thank you for helping me to redress my grievance. Don’t limit yourself to that one place.”

Another life?Don't need to do that for Dongli rubbing his eyes, right?She has only been here for a few days, yet one murder case after another came to her door: "What happened?"

"I saw a red-clothed female ghost going over there. She has more grievances than me. She probably came here for revenge." After Liu's finished speaking, she turned into a gust of wind and blew out: "If you don't want someone to die here , let’s go and have a look!”

Dong Li hurriedly put on his clothes, and his voice alarmed Dan Zhu outside: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I had a nightmare and wanted to go for a walk." Dongli put on thick clothes and thought for a while, "Danzhu, come with me to my brother's place, I have something urgent to find him."

Looking for the young master this late at night?Dan Zhu murmured in his heart, but without saying a word, he approved his clothes, lit the lantern and went out with Dong Li. Liu Shi floated outside, and after watching them go out, he pointed to the firewood house not far away. : "I'll go and have a look and stop her for a while."

Dong Li ran to smash Mo Youran's door, Mo Youran was in a daze, and was awakened from a dream. Before he could speak, Zuo Zhan had already opened the door to the next room, and he was obviously taken aback when he saw Dong Li: "It's so late ,Is there a problem?"

Dongli pursed her lips: "I, I had a dream."

dream?Zuo Zhan froze for a moment, ran to smash the door in a dream?Thinking about her previous dream of a wronged soul asking for justice, she seemed to understand something: "I'll go and see with you!"

Mo Youran opened the door at this time, and looked at the people at the door in surprise: "It's not yet dawn, what are you doing?"

Before reaching the firewood room, he could hear the mournful howling coming from inside. Zuo Zhan's expression turned dark, and he stepped forward to push the door, only to realize that it was locked, and then he remembered that the Zheng family was imprisoned here. place.

Madam Zheng's mournful howl came from inside: "Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Zuo Zhan kicked the door open, at the same time a woman with disheveled hair bumped into Zuo Zhan's body.

Dongli's eyes saw a woman in red rushing out, and when she touched Zuo Zhan's side, she suddenly turned around and flew back as if she had been burned by something.

Mrs. Liu was floating in the firewood house. When she saw Dongli approaching, she floated over, but she was far away from Zuo Zhan and turned around.

Zuo Zhan just felt a sudden cold swish all over his body, and then he no longer had this biting cold feeling. Mrs. Zheng was crying and laughing, as if she had been greatly stimulated.

Dongli looked at the night sky in front of him, secretly thinking that if Zuo Zhan knew that there was a ghost watching him in front of him, he didn't know what expression he would make.The female ghost's eyes seemed to be bleeding, and she looked at Madam Zheng with hatred, and there was a faint smoke in the place Zuo Zhan touched.

"That young man is full of righteousness, and ordinary evils can't get close to him." As if seeing Dong Li's confusion, Liu took the initiative to explain her doubts: "And this person still has an evil spirit on him, and he may have died in his hands." There are a lot of villains on the ground, which increases the aura around him, and Ran Ju will naturally be burned if he bumps into it."

Can't tell that Zuo Zhan still has such a supernatural power, Dongli looked at the female ghost, it was indeed the one he dreamed of in his noontime dream, she was Ran Ju?Turning into a ghost to take revenge on Mrs. Zheng, it can be seen that the person who killed her should undoubtedly be Mrs. Zheng.

"What's going on? There's no one in there." Zuo Zhan looked suspiciously at the firewood room where only the Zheng family couple was imprisoned. Zheng Wang'er looked at the ground with dumbfounded eyes and muttered to herself, and Mrs. Zheng refused to leave hysterically. Beside him, it seemed that he was afraid of something, but there was really nothing here.

Dong Li walked over slowly, and beside him was Ran Ju who had turned into a fierce ghost, and said casually: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, there is a god standing three feet up, maybe, some people who died unjustly can't get it." Rest in peace, are you here for revenge?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng trembled all over, and leaned against Zuo Zhan and looked around wildly. Ran Ju glanced at Dongli when she heard the words, and her blood-red eyes were full of unresolved hatred.

Zheng Wang'er suddenly raised her head and smiled silly in this direction: "You're here? Come and see, I named our baby! Do you think it sounds good?"

Ran Ju immediately floated over, Dong Li was a little dumbfounded, could it be that Zheng Wang'er could actually see it?He also has yin and yang eyes?
Zuo Zhan frowned, Zheng Wanger's eyes were very strange, he was dumbfounded, he didn't look like a normal person at all: "He, he seems to be crazy? His expression doesn't look like a fake. Could it be that he is afraid that he will be punished?" Deal with it, are you crazy?"

People say that lunatics and fools can see those things in the eyes of children, is it true?Dongli walked over cautiously, Zuo Zhan and Mo Youran were worried about her, so they also moved closer. Zheng Wanger smiled silly, and on the ground were the names he wrote with his fingers. The blood that came out was covered with dust and was dirty: "Ran Ju, which one do you think you like?"

When Madam Zheng heard the name Ran Ju, she screamed like crazy again, but the strange thing is that her loud voice didn't alarm anyone, except for a few of them, everyone in the whole village seemed to have fallen asleep same.
