Chapter 32 Jia Zuozuo wins silver(1/2)
Sun Qianniang struggled, grabbed his clothes with her backhand, and pulled off a piece of fabric. Qian Dayi didn't notice and was pushed away by her. Seeing her burying her head and running outside, opening her mouth to scream, she picked up a thick stick in desperation.
The firewood hit Sun Qianniang hard on the back of the head.
He was a peddler who carried loads all year round, and his arms were strong. He knocked Sun Qianniang down immediately. Qian Da was shocked. He stretched out his hand to check her breathing, but she was not breathing. Qian Da's face turned pale at that time.
Bai Bai, he sat there for a long time, fearing that his crime would be exposed. He looked around, and his eyes fell on the well of the Sun family. He dragged Sun Qianniang to the well, untied the wooden bucket of water, and put a rope around Sun Qianniang.
On his feet, the body slowly slid into the well along the well wall, and then the rope was untied.
Sun Qianniang's body sank silently into the water. Qian Da tied the barrel again and made it look like Sun Qianniang had committed suicide by throwing herself into the well. He then closed the Sun family's yard inside and climbed over the wall.
He went out and returned to his yard. It wasn't until the Sun family's widow started crying that he pretended to be awakened and hurried out to check.
Speaking of which, the Shuntian government officials are really useless. They only know how to check the footprints on the outside wall of Sun's house, but they don't know that there is a footprint over the wall in the corner of the courtyard. If Mou Biao hadn't accompanied him there,
In Shuntian Mansion Prison, Qian Da must avoid this matter.
Jia Jincheng said to Silian,
"After Qian Da confessed, Mr. Fu Yin sentenced the case harshly, and sent someone to summon me to speak. He said that Mr. Mou mentioned my good intentions in doing the work, which greatly helped the case, so he rewarded me with ten taels of silver.
…”
Speaking of this, Jia Jincheng smiled at his fourth daughter and said,
"That Mr. Mou is the son of a noble family. The reason why he mentioned this little work of mine in front of the governor is probably because he is familiar with Si Lian..."
Jia Silian's eyes widened in surprise, and she murmured after a while,
"My daughter didn't do anything. It's just that when Mr. Mou came to eat noodles, he had an extra spoonful of soup and added more ingredients to the bowl of noodles!"
Jia Jincheng smiled and nodded, saying,
"Excellent work, just like this, with such a noble family background, people like us have nowhere to find a way out even if we want to curry favor with them..."
After saying that, he glanced at all the children,
"Whenever you see Mr. Mou in the future, you must be careful..."
The daughters nodded repeatedly, but Jia Youchuan only heard the twelve taels of silver.
"Dad, you got ten taels of silver?"
"What ten taels of silver?"
Before Jia Jincheng had time to respond, after the gossip outside, Xiang, who came back for dinner, heard this, and his toad's eyes immediately shone.
"Master, you got ten taels of silver?"
When Jia Jincheng saw her, the joy on his face disappeared and he snorted,
"So what?"
As long as she had money, Xiang didn't care at all about Jia Jincheng's cold face and said with a smile,
"Master, it seems that the Chinese New Year is about to begin. I don't have any coins at the moment, so I haven't even bought enough New Year's goods. Please give me more coins so that I can go buy New Year's goods tomorrow!"
Jia Jincheng pointed to the things on the table,
"You don't have to worry about New Year's goods!"
It has been closed in recent years, and even if there are murders here and there, they will be postponed until after the new year. In this job, I don’t have to schedule a shift with the government officials. I can order a meal tomorrow morning and go home. Then I can go to the street.
If you buy it online, he will never leave the money in Xiang's hands.
Xiang was dissatisfied and immediately shouted,
"Master, I won't talk about it on weekdays. Now it's the New Year and you don't even give me a few coins. Look at which house in this alley has a wife like me. Her pocket is cleaner than her face!"
Jia Jincheng snorted coldly and said,
"Then...look at which family's mother-in-law moved her husband's things to her mother's house?"
Xiang was speechless immediately, and after a while he muttered,
"This...seeing that the New Year is approaching, there should be no shortage of etiquette. Why should I give some New Year's gifts to my mother-in-law..."
After saying that, he reached out and took the two pieces of cloth.
"This cloth is good... why not give it to the two elders so that they can make new clothes!"
As soon as she finished saying this, her son stared at her fiercely. He came over, grabbed the cloth, and held it tightly in his arms.
"Mom, dad said he would make clothes for me!"
Xiangshi coaxed him and said,
"Good boy...this material is a bit bad. Your father has ten taels of silver. Ask him to buy you another piece of good material!"
Jia Jincheng snorted coldly,
"Even if I agree with the children, I must mean what I say..."
After speaking, he told Si Lian,
"Si Lian, put the things away. This is for our family to celebrate the New Year. Don't let outsiders... steal it!"
He bit the word "outsider" very hard, and the children all knew who he was talking about. Xiang's face was stiff, and she watched with hatred as Si Lian took away all the things. She did not dare to be angry with her husband, but
Can stare at Si Lian with all his strength.
Si Lian had long been used to her being displeased with him, so she asked San Lian with a normal expression,
"Third sister, is the meat stewed yet?"
Sanlian hurriedly went to the kitchen to have a look, and then came back and rushed to Jia Jincheng Road,
"Dad, the meat is ready, we can eat..."
Jia Jincheng nodded,
"Have a meal!"
He ordered and went down, and the daughters each brought bowls and set the table. Sanlian used a coarse cloth to wrap the hot pottery pot over and opened the lid. The aroma of meat immediately filled the entire hall. Jia Youchuan sat at the table.
He urged while sniffing,
"Sanlian! Hurry up!"
Sanlian took a big bowl, put the stewed meat on the table, but this time Sanlian listened to Jia Jincheng's words and stewed all the fat meat he bought, but there was no trace of it.
Mixed with vegetables, a jar is full of oily, fragrant fat meat. When the bowl is brought to the table, the meat in it... just one look at it makes your mouth water up to your belly button.
Jia Youchuan stretched out his chopsticks and picked it up. He also knew what was going on, so he picked up a piece for Jia Jincheng first.
"Dad, you eat!"
"Um!"
Jia Jincheng nodded happily. Seeing Jia Jincheng take his first bite, Xiang couldn't wait to pick up the meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. While eating, his mouth was full of oil, and he scolded Sanlian:
"You prodigal hoof, how much money do you have at home to support your eating like this? Why don't you add some vegetables to it and make it into meatballs so that you can have more meals..."
She can cut off some of the remaining meat and give it to her brothers!
Sanlian responded in a low voice,
"Dad said there is no need to save meat today..."
Xiang Shi glared at her,
"Your father said you don't need to save money because he feels sorry for you. Don't you know that you feel sorry for your father? It's not hard for him to earn money?"
The daughters were all silent for a while after hearing this. Only Silian dared to raise his head and glance at Xiangshi. His eyes were clearly full of contempt. Xiangshi was furious when he saw this.
"Damn girl, why are you looking at me and scolding me secretly?"
Si Lian responded in a neutral tone,
"Mom, it's better to eat quickly, the meat is almost gone!"
When Xiang Shi turned around, she saw that her youngest son was using chopsticks to dig into his bowl. He had already pulled more than half of the bowl of meat in the middle of the table. Xiang Shi turned around and glared at San Lian.
“More!”
The meat that Jia Jincheng bought was only two kilograms, which was not enough for a family of seven. However, compared to the past, when they could only see a few dishes, it was already extremely delicious. This dinner for the family was extremely delicious.
satisfy!
As the New Year approaches, the business of the noodle stall is getting better and better. San Lian and Si Lian came out early with their two sisters. People were eating noodles before dawn. They were busy until the afternoon, but they saw San Ma Ma coming from a distance.
, Si Lian naturally recognized the person on the horse, and immediately stepped forward to greet him,
"Master Mou!"
Mou Biao nodded, got off his horse, and sat down on the old seat with his two young men. Si Lian quickly served three bowls of noodles, and then heard Mou Biao say,
"I'm taking the time to tell you today that the real culprit has been caught in that case..."
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, his aunt kept him from going out, saying that it would be good for him to get to know more of his father's friends in the officialdom!
Jia Silian nodded,
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Mou a lot. Yesterday, when my father came back, he said that thanks to Mr. Mou's kind words, my father even received a reward of ten taels of silver from Mr. Fu Yin!"
