Chapter 225 The Little Scholar Killed by His Classmates (9)
It’s still early now, so I plan to go to the mountains to meet Zheng Sangning.
He carried a backpack from the backyard and a machete and went up the mountain.
It is spring now, and from time to time you can see some edible mushrooms just emerging. Shuangshuang will stop to pick some and put them into the space.
However, most of the animals they collected were carnivorous animals such as pheasants and rabbits.
Before I even got close to the inner area, I heard a rustling sound in the distance.
I don’t know if it was Zheng Sangning’s return or some wild animal that suddenly jumped onto the treetop.
"Little Orange, let me see if my mother is back?"
"It's her, don't worry."
"Why should I worry? If a big guy comes and hits me, I'll just do it."
Shuangshuang soon saw Zheng Sangning's figure through the layers of leaves.
At this time, she was dragging a big tree, and two big deer were tied to the top of the tree.
He immediately jumped down and ran over there, "Mom, Mom!"
When Zheng Sangning heard Shuangshuang calling for her mother for the first time, he thought he was hallucinating.
It was not until I heard another voice from behind that I realized it was indeed my son's voice.
I quickly responded, "Shuang'er, I'm here."
Shuangshuang quickly ran over to help pull the tree, "Mom, are you going to the Grand Canyon?"
"Yes, that's the only place where deer come and go."
"But this is too unsafe. I'd better not go there next time!"
"It's okay! Don't you trust your mother's skills?"
The mother and son talked and laughed, and soon returned to the back of their house.
Without caring about anything else, Shuangshuang took the initiative to tie the deer to the wheelbarrow.
Venison is precious and cannot be left uneaten until it goes stale.
They put one on a car and the mother and son hurried to the county.
Valuable prey like deer cannot be sold at a high price in the town, so we must go to the county town while they are still fresh.
When I passed by my neighbor's yard, I found that it had been completely renovated in just a few days.
Zheng Sangning also looked around curiously. She had been in the mountains for the past few days and had no idea what was happening in the village.
"Shuangshuang, do you know who lives next door? We've been back for so many years, but we've never seen them once."
"Oh, I heard from some aunties at the village entrance that it was a cousin of my generation who was an official outside.
He hadn't been back for many years, and now that his wife had passed away and needed to be buried in the ancestral tomb, he came back to renovate the house."
“Oh, don’t worry then.
He usually leaves once things are settled."
Zheng Sanning doesn't really want to interact with others. After living in the village for so many years, she would only show her body when it was necessary.
The mother and son were talking as they walked, and soon they were about to reach the village entrance. Unexpectedly, they heard a noisy sound coming from the village entrance from afar.
The two of them hurried over. This was the way it was here. If something happened in the village, every household had to have someone in charge come forward.
Even if you just stand aside and watch the fun, it proves that you are from Yangjiazhuang.
I quickly came to the village entrance and saw from afar a group of people in mourning clothes and holding banners surrounding a coffin and entering the village.
However, they were blocked outside the village by the clan leader and the village chief, along with the young and strong men in the village.
A skinny middle-aged man, whose temperament could not be concealed, was negotiating with the patriarch.
"Uncle clan leader, as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest. I beg you to be flexible with the other clan members and allow my wife to be buried in the ancestral tomb."
"Impossible! She has been married into the Yang family for decades without any achievements. I even heard that you don't even have a illegitimate son. How can she be qualified to be buried in the ancestral tomb?!"
Yang Ruqing, don't blame us for not making concessions for you.
No one can be buried in the ancestral tomb without a son. This is the ancestral rule, and no one can make an exception!"
At this time, there was a plump and plump old woman next to her. She was Madam Yang's wet nurse, also known as Yu Pozi.
Normally, she relied on Madam Yang's trust in her and acted arrogantly in the Yang Mansion.
At this moment, seeing a group of peasants whom they usually looked down upon dared to block the road, they immediately rushed out and scolded the patriarch!
"Bullshit! My wife is the eldest daughter of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion. She is willing to be buried in your ancestral tomb. It is because your Yang family's ancestors have burned incense and accumulated great merit.
You deliberately brought people here to complain, not allowing our eldest daughter to rest in peace, and you just want the money, right? I'll give it to you!"
Then he took out two silver ingots from his arms and threw them casually in front of the patriarch.
"you you you!"
The patriarch was so angry that he immediately covered his chest and leaned back.
Fortunately, the person behind him was quick-witted and supported him.
"Chief, Chief, how are you?"
Seeing this, Shuangshuang quickly parked the car and ran over.
The original owner was already on the road to exile at that time, and it was unknown whether the patriarch had rescued him.
But I don’t think so, because the original owner didn’t see him when he came back.
But there were too many people, surrounding him from left to right, and he couldn't get in at all.
He could only jump outside and shout, "Grandpa Clan Leader, Grandpa Clan Leader!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Shuangshuang. Out of respect for the scholar, they immediately gave way to him.
They both quickly supported the clan leader and used their spiritual sense to accurately inject spiritual power into his heart to protect his heart meridians.
"Grandpa Clan Leader, Grandpa Clan Leader, listen to me, this kind of trivial matter is not worth getting angry about."
The patriarch, nourished by spiritual power, slowly exhaled.
He nodded towards Shuangshuang, indicating that he was fine.
Yang Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the clan leader was fine.
He shot a cold look at the old woman. Someone had told him before that some servants would bully their masters, but he still didn't believe it.
He believed that the Yang family had always been upright, and even if the servants under him had some ulterior motives, they were only trying to make a few more bucks.
But he never expected that one day someone would be insulted with silver in front of him, and the person was the patriarch of his Yang family!
At this moment, he no longer looked sick as before, and glared at the old woman fiercely.
He gritted his teeth and gave orders to his trusted aides.
"Yang Zhong, tie up this ignorant, ungrateful scoundrel!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yang Zhong had long been disgusted with this old woman.
He is the master's most trusted confidant and the manager of the outer courtyard.
Of course, there were times when he had to deal with the old woman, but this old woman relied on the lady's reliance on her and sometimes didn't even give him face.
Immediately, several burly servants walked out from the crowd and directly confronted the servant who had spoken so arrogantly before.
But Mrs. Yu was not afraid, and she was even more confident at this moment.
"Humph! I'm a servant of the Qingyang Marquis's Mansion. What qualifications do you have to arrest me?"
The clan leader nodded, "Great! I thought she was the wife of some family, but it turns out she's just a bonded slave!"
How dare you come to my Yang family's land and speak nonsense? Do you really think that there is no one left in my Yang family? Yang Ruqing, oh Yang Ruqing!
You've been an official outside for a few years, and you don't even know where your roots are anymore!"
"No, no, no, Uncle Clan Leader, Ruqing absolutely does not have such a rebellious idea!
She is just a servant, so please don't bother with her, uncle. "
"If I insist on confronting her today and making a fuss, how will you explain it to me?"
