Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 224 The Little Scholar Killed by His Classmates (8)

They both returned to school and immersed themselves in their intensive studies again. They didn't even have time to seek revenge on the Jiang family.

It was not until the third day before the exam that the teacher gave holiday to those who were going to take the imperial examination.

One is to let them go back and prepare what they need for the exam, and the other is to let them go back and relax.

Shuangshuang then went back with the book box on her back.

When I returned to Yangjiazhuang, I saw from afar several women gathered under the plum tree at the entrance of the village, chatting while sewing shoe soles or making clothes.

"Did you hear that? A few days ago, a few people suddenly came to the village.

I went directly to the clan leader's house and heard that he wanted to renovate the ancestral hall."

"I've heard that too. I heard those people were the housekeeper and a few servants of Lord Yang Ruqing, the former top scholar and current governor of Suzhou."

Shuangshuang paused after hearing this. "The prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, a fourth-rank official?" That's a pretty high position in this area.

I unknowingly slowed down my pace and eavesdropped openly.

"Yes, they haven't been back to that house at the end of the village for decades.

This time I came back and was hammering and fixing it.

They said their wife had passed away and they wanted to come back and bury her in the ancestral tomb.

But it seems that the clan leader and the village chief are not very happy about it, and are arguing with the Yang family's housekeeper!

Anyway, I just heard it a little bit. The clan leader scolded Yang Ruqing to the housekeeper at that time, saying that he was ungrateful and betrayed his ancestors!

Judging from the butler's expression, the clan leader must have scolded him very harshly.

But the steward said that the clan leader and his men were too greedy.

After taking so many good things from the Yang Mansion over the years, he actually wanted to stop their wives from entering the ancestral tomb or something like that."

"why why?"

When everyone heard the gossip, they all took the initiative to move closer to the man.

Both of them also walked lightly so as not to disturb the other's gossiping mood.

"Is there any need to ask why? I haven't been back for over ten years.

The most important thing is that since their aunt passed away, the Yang family’s support for the clan has been cut off.

A few years ago, the clan leader brought several promising students from the clan to visit, hoping to ask Lord Yang for help in teaching them.

As a result, he didn't even get through the door before he was kicked out by the maids and servants sent by Madam Yang!

And I heard that the curses were particularly harsh. What those old women said to the clan leader and others said, "I have never seen so many poor relatives coming to ask for money every year!"

The clan leader at that time, and Brother Rushan, who was not yet the village chief, were so angry that they never went there again.

It's a pity that those promising youngsters were delayed because the clan didn't have the financial support."

"That's true. I heard that the clan leader was very happy when he found out that Yu Shuang could take part in the county exam.

In order for Yu Shuang to be able to take the exam smoothly and with peace of mind, he also presided over the separation between him and Ruli's family.

The patriarch has been holding his breath all these years!"

"That's true. When that aunt was here, she was so kind to us.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, if no one from the clan goes to the party, they will send someone to pick them up.

If there is a promising younger generation in the clan who comes to the door, they will help to find the academy by providing money and materials.

He always said that his younger generation had made great achievements, which was also the glory of the entire Yang family.

But since Madam Yang took over, this kind of treatment has never happened again."

"I heard that this Madam Yang is as beautiful as a fairy and she is also very capable!

The cousin I hooked up with is already over 40 years old and has no son or daughter.

This is one of the reasons why the clan leader and the village chief stopped him from entering the ancestral tomb mountain."

“Without descendants, I definitely can’t go to the ancestral tomb!

But in my opinion, the clan leader and the village chief couldn't get over it and did it on purpose.

Otherwise, with so many orphans in the clan, wouldn't it be easy to adopt a son for him?

Anyway, I heard that the housekeeper has already sent someone to discuss things with the brother who was carrying the coffin in the back."

No one talked anymore after that. After all, in their opinion, it had little to do with them.

So they just left the conversation and started chatting about other people's affairs.

"Hey, have you heard? Ever since the Ruyong family recovered, the Ruli family shamelessly stuck with them again.

She thought it would be the same as before, that the Ruyong family would give her face and give her half a chicken or a piece of the wild game they hunted.

Bah, how shameless! "

"Yeah! I saw it too. She was caught and beaten twice by the Ruyong family.

She then shamelessly went to the clan leader to complain, saying that the Ruyong family disrespected her as the eldest sister-in-law!

The clan leader was so angry that he gave her two crutches and threatened to write a letter of divorce and send her back to her parents' home to prevent her from shamelessly ruining Yu Shuang's reputation.

"Really? We haven't heard about when it happened."

"Just a few days ago, someone from the Ruli family was so inconsiderate that he bumped into the clan leader's crutch.

The clan leader was already in a bad mood because of Yang Ruqing's incident, and she went to him and twisted the truth, blaming him for what he did. Who else should he blame if not her?

When Shuangshuang heard that Du Zaohua was making trouble again, she became so angry that she walked back quickly with heavier steps.

The aunties and grandmas didn't care whether Shuangshuang heard what they said before, and they all greeted him happily.

The first one who saw him shouted a hello.

"Yu Shuang boy, you're back?"

"Yes, auntie, the teacher gave us a holiday."

Another lady immediately responded, "Good day off, good day off! You've lost weight, let your mother nourish you."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Auntie. My book box is not light, so I won't chat with you for now."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly, go back quickly, your mother is worried about you too."

Seeing Shuangshuang's thin figure, several aunts and grandmas were worried that the bookcase would crush him, so they urged him to go back.

When I returned to the end of the village, I saw the large blue brick and tile house 300 meters away from my house, which had been silent all the time.

The middle door was actually wide open, and many tribesmen were hammering and banging inside, going up to the roof to pick up tiles, or perhaps leveling the ground or something, all of them were very busy and enthusiastic.

He didn't bother them and walked straight past the house to his own home.

When Zheng Sangning brought him back from the provincial capital to recognize his relatives, he was worried that he would not be able to get along with the villagers in the future.

So Zheng Sangning went directly to the village chief and allocated a piece of land at the end of the village to build a house.

These years, because it is too far away from the village, it is indeed quiet except for Du Zaohua who always tries to take advantage of me.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I found that it was closed for the first time.

I pushed it, but it wouldn't budge. You know, farmers usually don't lock their courtyard doors until they go to bed at night.

I don’t know whether Zheng Sangning was hiding in the backyard from the quarrel next door, or went up the mountain.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mom, Mom! Are you home?"

Seeing that there was no movement inside, I knew that Zheng Sangning had gone to the mountain.

So I went around to the back door and climbed over the wall to get in.
