Zhang Shuilian was startled for a moment, and suddenly thought that she was so coaxed by her cousin that she was so focused on the bonus of thirty taels of silver that year, and her cousin patted her chest to assure her that she didn't bother to go find her.

Literary evidence.

"Even if you have written evidence, this is Qing'an County. In terms of black and white, your cousin-in-law and I also have a few friends. Even in the Yamen, we can talk to each other more or less." The cousin-in-law looked proud.

road.

Zhang Shuilian was so angry that her whole body trembled.

"You bully people like this, do you really think we have no backers? My brother-in-law Dazhi's adoptive parents are..."

"Water lotus!"

Daqiu suddenly shouted to stop Zhang Shuilian.

"Shui Lian, my mother told me not to tell outsiders about this matter, and Dazhi also told me!" Da Qiu said nervously.

Honest and dull people also have their own bottom line.

"Big Ball, it's already this time, do you still listen to your mother and your brother? Do you still want to get back the one hundred taels of silver?" Zhang Shuilian asked angrily.

"That's it for today. I have a stomachache. Let's go back to the inn first!" Daqiu reached out and took Zhang Shuilian's hand.

There is no evidence to file a complaint at the Yamen. No matter how strong you are, it cannot be stronger than this local snake.

Especially with the strength of my cousin-in-law, the iron walnuts crunched loudly, and the big balls didn’t even want to be hard, but they didn’t dare to.

"Why are you so cowardly? One hundred taels of silver..."

Zhang Shuilian was dragged outside the food stall by the big ball, still screaming.

Suddenly, Big Ball stopped and stared straight at the street ahead.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shuilian asked.

Daqiu came back to his senses and shook his cheeks: "Nothing."

He turned around and dragged Zhang Shuilian away, but Zhang Shuilian followed Da Qiu's previous gaze and saw the person he had seen before.

Zhang Shuilian's eyes brightened, she threw away Big Ball's hand, and excitedly chased the people in front of her, shouting while chasing: "Aunt Luo? Stay, stay!"

Yang Ruoqing was walking leisurely behind Luo Fengtang and Luo Baobao when she suddenly heard someone shouting in the noise.

The shouts came after her, one at a time, but she didn't pay much attention at first.

Because in her subconscious mind, others call her sister-in-law, sister, madam, or even girl.

But aunt, almost none.

But the words "Aunt Luo" made her turn her head and glance back, and she saw a familiar face in the crowd.

"Zhang Shuilian?" Yang Ruoqing stopped and looked at the young woman running towards her behind her.

Not far behind Zhang Shuilian, there was indeed a young man whose facial features were somewhat similar to Da Zhi's.

Big Ball? Zhang Shuilian?

Isn’t this Dazhi’s eldest brother and sister-in-law?

Aren't they in Yangzhou? Why are they appearing on the streets of Qing'an County this night?

…

"Aunt Luo, is it really you? It's so wonderful, I thought I was dazzled, woo woo woo..."

Zhang Shuilian took Yang Ruoqing's hand and started crying in aggrieved manner.

Yang Ruoqing clapped her hands hurriedly and said, "Shui Lian, why are you and Da Qiu here?"

Everyone found a teahouse on the roadside and sat down to rest for a while. After Yang Ruoqing introduced Daqiu Zhang Shuilian and his wife to Yang Huazhou and Luo Fengtang, she quickly asked the young couple.

Zhang Shuilian glanced at Da Qiu, her eyes seemed to be inquiring.

Big Ball shook his head secretly.

Zhang Shuilian's eyes flashed, and she sobbed and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Auntie, Daqiu and I came to my cousin's house in Qing'an County specifically to pay them back. Not only did they default on the debt, they also found excuses to kick us out."

"What?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of surprise.

"Since you have such relatives, why do you still want to lend money to them? How much did you borrow?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Zhang Shuilian's eyes flashed, she shook her head and said nothing, "It's not a lot, but Daqiu and I are almost running out of money, and we're feeling worried."

Da Qiu said: "Uncle, aunt, we still have some expenses, you don't have to worry about us."

Then, he came over and took Zhang Shuilian's hand to take her away.

Zhang Shuilian said pitifully: "Daqiu, please stop lying to my uncle and aunt. If we use our expenses to stay in an inn tonight, we won't be able to return to Yangzhou tomorrow."

"We met my uncle and aunt. Let's ask them to help us. At least give us a place to stay tonight..."

Daqiu looked confused.

Yang Ruoqing said directly: "Both of you, follow me back to the inn. I also want to ask you about Dazhi."

Because Luo Baobao hadn't had enough shopping yet, he was making a lot of noise and didn't want to go back.

Zhang Shuilian and Da Qiu looked tired. Yang Huazhou said, "Qing'er, you and Tang Yazi will continue shopping with the baby. I'll take Da Qiu and his wife back to the restaurant to settle down first."

Yang Ruoqing said: "That's fine."

Yang Huazhou left with Daqiu and his wife, while Yang Ruoqing continued shopping and parted ways for the time being.

At the door of the stall, Zhang Shuilian's cousin-in-law saw all this. He didn't recognize Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, who were wearing ordinary people's clothes, but he knew Yang Huazhou.

In Qing'an County, these black and white people, regardless of whether you are doing business, loan sharking, or working as an errand in the government office, Yang Huazhou, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower, will recognize them all.

Because it is said that this Yang Huazhou is the uncle of the wife of the general who protects the country.

"It's strange. Why did these two people leave with Shopkeeper Yang? Do they know each other?" The cousin-in-law's face was full of surprise, and his eyes were constantly thinking.

…

After giving Baby Luo a bath, she asked her father to take her back to the guest room to rest and admire the 'treasure' that she had brought back all night.

Yang Ruoqing came to Zhang Shuilian and Da Qiu's guest room and asked them about Da Zhi.

Zhang Shuilian said: "Auntie, don't worry, my brother-in-law is living a good life, he is very sensible, and he studies hard."

"Daqiu and I originally planned to come to my cousin's house to settle the debt first, and then buy some gifts to visit my aunt and uncle in Changping Village, and then tell them the good news!"

"Announcement of good news?" Yang Ruoqing's breathing became a little faster, "Where does the good news come from? Is it ambition..."

"Yes," Zhang Shuilian said, "my brother-in-law has been admitted as a scholar, and now we have a scholar in our family!"

It really is so!

Yang Ruoqing was so excited that she folded her hands together and was so happy that she couldn't speak.

"That's great, great. Zhi'er has been admitted as a scholar. I know that my Zhi'er will definitely be good at it!" she said in a low voice.

"Well, Shui Lian, Da Qiu, you just have fun in Qing'an County for the next two days. In two days, we will go back to Changping Village together. I made clothes for Dazhi and gave him the gift of a scholar.

Congratulations, you can take them to Yangzhou when the time comes." Yang Ruoqing said again.

Zhang Shuilian nodded repeatedly.

When Yang Ruoqing returned to her guest room, Baby Luo had already fallen asleep, and Luo Fengtang was watching over him.
