Chapter 324 Pushed to the altar
The concubine was unexpectedly hit several times by Zhang Yuying, but she couldn't tear this brat apart, so she immediately howled: "Qiu Ling! Qiu Ling! Come and help!"
My niece Qiuling came out of the house and saw her aunt being beaten. She immediately took a broom from the wall and greeted Zhang Yuying in the face.
When Hong Xiao and Zhang Xiaolang saw their brother being grabbed and beaten by two women, they abandoned their fear and rushed over to push Qiu Ling.
Just like that, a few people got into a group.
But Zhang Yuying was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Hong Xiao was only nine years old. They couldn't beat two adult women.
Zhang Xiaolang was just a five-year-old child. He wanted to push his aunt away, but he was so young that he was slapped by his aunt and sent him far away. He couldn't get up for a long time.
Zhang Jia, who was lying on the door panel, saw this scene, and his anger rose in his heart. He suddenly got up from the ground, stumbled towards the concubine, grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground.
The concubine was so frightened that she screamed and rolled to the side. Qiu Ling almost fainted from fright and almost screamed that she was a corpse.
"You two..." Zhang Jia was so angry that his whole body trembled. He had used up all his strength in his anger and fell to the ground, tilting his head and fainting.
Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying rushed over and pinched the others.
At this time, Zhang Yukun came back from outside and saw his father lying straight on the ground. He thought he was dead, so he hurriedly rushed over and knelt on the ground, crying desperately.
Zhang Yuying said angrily: "Stop crying! Let's find a doctor for dad quickly." Before, he thought that his eldest brother had gone to find a doctor for his father. But now when he saw him coming back alone, he knew that his eldest brother had done nothing.
Zhang Yukun wiped away his tears and was about to nod when he suddenly heard his wife Qiuling's moans coming from behind him: "Oh, sir, my stomach hurts so much."
Zhang Yukun turned around and saw Qiuling already sitting on the ground, wailing: "My stomach hurts so much, Ouch, Dalang, your brother and sister just hit me in the stomach."
"What?" Zhang Yukun was anxious and ran over to pick up his wife: "I will take you to find the doctor." After that, he ran outside quickly.
Seeing that Zhang Yukun was gone, the concubine said fiercely to Zhang Yukun and Hong Xiao: "Just wait here. If something happens to my niece later, you will definitely have to pay with your life!"
Then he turned around and walked towards Zhang Xiaolang, picked up the broom and beat him: "You little bastard! You actually helped an outsider bully your mother. I'll beat you to death, little bastard!"
Zhang Xiaolang quickly ran out of the yard and ran to Jiang Ji's specialty shop. He grabbed Jiang Yunniang and cried: "Mom, my father is about to die. They bully my brothers and sisters. Please go and see."
Jiang Yunniang was cleaning up the yard and preparing to put up the mushroom shed again. When Xiao Lang said this, she immediately put down the bamboo in her hand and hurried outside.
Ying Bao and Er Ni were also tidying up. Seeing their aunt was so worried, they had no choice but to take out three more bottles of medicine and hand them to her: "Aunt, take this."
I don’t know if it can be cured, but I can guarantee that he will not die today.
Jiang Yunniang took the small porcelain vase, looked at her niece gratefully, turned around and ran out.
Xiao Lang also ran out.
Erni bent down to pick up the scattered bamboo poles and said to her little cousin: "It's true, my aunt, that man was so bad to her, and she still wanted to save him. If it were me, I would let him die! Hmph!"
Ying Bao also didn't understand her aunt's soft-heartedness, but when she thought that the man was Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying's biological father, she actually understood a little bit.
Isn't it because Zhang Jia is the biological father of Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying that he gave the medicine to his aunt?
Until noon, his aunt, Hongxiao and the others had not returned yet. Jiang Cheng was worried and asked his two cousins to look at the shop while he went to Zhang Jia's house to check.
There was a slight drizzle outside from time to time, and there was mud on the ground from yesterday's rain.
Ying Bao and Er Ni were sitting at the counter, looking out boredly and sizing up the people passing by the door.
Suddenly, Zhang Min ran in and said mysteriously to Yingbao: "Junior sister, let me tell you news. Many fishermen came to Pei Shixian today, kowtowed to him, and called him a heavenly master."
Ying Bao was not surprised at all.
Then doesn't Pei Shixian just want this result? "Master is also a heavenly master, much more powerful than his fake heavenly master."
Zhang Min glanced sideways at the junior sister: "When has Master ever been called Heavenly Master?"
"After all, Master is the most powerful Heavenly Master!" Even if no one calls him now, he will let others call him Heavenly Master in the future.
She risked her life to put her master on the altar, otherwise, she might not know what shocking words the false master would say to frame her and her family.
Zhang Min shook his head, sat down on the stool that Erni brought over, looked around, and asked, "Is this what you have at home?"
He had nothing to say. With just these things, could the shop survive?
Ying Bao: "It's the off-season now. My shop sells some home-grown fruits at this time. Business will be good in autumn."
She can get more than two thousand taels of silver at the end of every year, not including the money she makes from selling pills, so she is very content.
Zhang Min looked at the counter: "Melons and fruits? Where are they?"
"My second cousin hasn't delivered it yet." There was a storm yesterday, and many sections of the road down the south slope were probably flooded. I guess my second cousin couldn't drive the carriage out, so he didn't come back.
Zhang Min nodded: "Your grapes are very good. Master likes them very much. He asked me to come over and buy some today, but I didn't expect that they haven't arrived yet."
The two chatted for a while before Zhang Min said goodbye and left.
In the evening, Yingbao and Erni closed the door of the shop, and then the cousin came back with his aunt and his family.
The aunt went to the kitchen to cook in silence, while Hongxiao lit the fire for her, while Zhang Yuying took Xiaolang to read in the house.
Erni quietly asked her cousin: "Why are you back now? What happened?"
Jiang Cheng: "Nothing happened. Zhang Yukun's father-in-law's family came to make trouble, but I called some government officials to drive them away."
I have to treat those government officials to a meal tomorrow to return the favor.
"How is Hongxiao's father?" Yingbao was still concerned about the efficacy of her medicine and whether it would be useful to Zhang Jia.
Jiang Cheng: "I think he's doing well. He can still stand up and fight with others."
"Oh." Yingbao nodded, not caring about other things about the Zhang family.
At noon the next day, Jiang Quan finally drove his carriage to the county seat.
Also coming with him were brothers Li Dao and Li He.
They carried the fruits from the carriage into the shop and then went to the backyard to eat.
Jiang Quan was very happy to see his little cousin back, "Yingbao, when will you come home? My uncle and aunt were talking about you yesterday."
"Just these two days." Ying Bao had already returned home, but her master was busy these days, so he asked her to wait for two days and then go to Chuanhe Town with her.
"It just so happens that Li Dao and Li He are going back in two days. It will be safer to go together then." Jiang Quan took out a wooden sign from the shop, which read: Fresh fruits and melons have arrived, welcome to buy.
He thrust the wooden sign against the door of the shop, turned around and spoke to his little cousin again.
"Where have you been? Is it fun?"
"Are you taking a boat or a horse-drawn carriage? I heard people say that the surrounding area is not safe again. There are robbers blocking the road in many places. Every time I drive to and fro, I am worried that robbers will jump out of the roadside."
Jiang Quan was still frightened when he thought of the robber last time.
